truth that if Mr. Hay's act in the
Alaskan boundary case is legal and
binding upon the country he could in
like manner surrender Texas to the
Mexican government by merely hold
ing a conference and reaching some!
Bort or agreement witn tne Mexican

can territory in Alaska he can also
cede Maine to Nova Scotia, Lord
Pauncefote should make the demand.
The Alaskan territory in question is
not extensive, yet it is as large, if
not larger, than the state of Rhode
Island. It contains fully one-half of

More Button Distribution
Editor Independent Will you kindly
keep still while I talk a little. I know
of no good reason why you should say
it all. I was about to remark that our
would-be governor has come and gone.
We all had to go to Wayne to see him.
It just happened that we were out of
flour that day and I had to go to mill
or perhaps I should not have met the
gentleman. It is thought by some that
he has a rather far-away look or a
perhaps-I-am-spending-my-time - fool
ishly look and yet he seemed to be of
rather a social turn and wanted to
shake hands with all who came in his
way. Yea, he even went out of his
way. He had a button for all, even the
boys whom he called mavericks and
said they were becoming so valuable
that they too must be branded. But
what I wanted to say was that we of
Wayne county, or many of us, have
been talking the governorship up and
we have come to this conclusoin after
learning that Brother Dietrich is doing
fairly well in the banking business,
and in view of the fact that he would
have to leave that great business in
stitution in the hands of salaried
agents, saying nothing of the incon
venience of moving up to Lincoln; and
again we feel that it would be new
business to him, hence he would feel
very much out of place, and we are of
the opinion that it would be better for
him and his business interests to re
main in Hastings. We are convinced
that with 100,000 popocrats on his
hands and ten or fifteen thousand of
the faithful trying to get up to the pie
counter, he would neglect his home
matters and as a matter of fact we
don't have to vote for him.
There is a man by the name of Poyn-
ter running for the same office, who
has been looking after matters along
that line for the last two years; hence
he must understand the business fairly
well by this time. I met a Boone coun
ty republican some time ago who t61d
me if I wanted to vote for a farmer
and an honest -man I could vote for
W. A. Poynter. I took him at his word
and have never regretted it. We think
he has the hang of the barn and we
had better continue him another two
years. If we are wrong kindly set
us right. I for one would try to feel
sorry to have Brother Dietrich disap
pointed in his aspirations, while at
the same time I feel that it would be to
his own best interest to stay at home.
Yours for the right,
H. B. MILLER.

Something About Grand Island
Editor Of IndeDendent T see hv that
"Untrue Populist" of Omaha that Sew
ard county had a delegation at the
Grand Island convention and I am
named as one of the delegates. I will
say this, that I am a fusion populist,
but one of those who thought to make
fusion complete that Towne ought to
have the place that Stevenson was
nominated to fill, and that in the first
place we ought to have Instructed our
delegates to the national convention to
nominate a populist and insist on his
indorsement at Kansas City, thus giv
ing force to our demands and solidify
ing our party all over the country.
Though defeated in what I think was
just I am still desirous of Bryan's elec
tion and shall work to that end. I
think the people wno composed the
Grand Island convention were men
mostly of the type that have not voted
with us in the past. Like the cow, on
one side the fence, reaching through
the wire to gobble a little feed, repub
licans in fact, but pops for feed, and
this middle-of-the-road movement is
as a salting trough for the republican
party. They are "salted" into the new
party and expected to vote straight. I
am Frank by name and frank by na
ture and when I want to favor the re
publican party I shall not find cover
io ao wnat l judge to be right. The
man who is not honest in politics is
not a worthy citizen, ana If the prin
ciples of the republican party and its
administration does not appeal to the
voter's sense of justice and cond env.
ernment, he ought not allow himself
to be tricked into what ne does not in
dorse. I was the only populist from
Seward county who attended the Grand
Island convention (barring DeWritt
Eager, an ex-pop). Mr. Eager came to
me and asked me to attend the conven
tion and I told him I would like to go
ana see wnat they done if I could
spare the time, besides visit and have
a trip. As I had paid little attention
to the matter I asked nlm if the rail
road gave rates. He answered "Y'es,
and I will give you a ticket' He pulled
out a roll of B. & M. round-trip tickets
and gave me one. I said I ought not
to take it as I thought I would not use
it. He insisted and said if not used, I
could burn the ticket. It rained, I
went, and I only wish that others could
have gone and seen one of the worst
political farces that ever took place in
any state. I could say nothing more
than to indorse what I have read in
fusion papers in regard to that con
vention. Not having a ticket to sit
with the delegates, all that was neces
sary to show was my railroad ticket.
I took no part in the convention, but
saw that Mr. Eager voted for Seward
county and contributed to the hat.
Most of the delegates lacked the earn
estness that is always exhibited by
men attemntiner to carrv nut ereat
J principles. , Some were sincere, but
many hirelings. After the ' platform
was adopted I wrote up a resolution
against the use of railroad passes by
public officers and men attending polit
ical conventions for the purpose of
nominating public officers. This I
submitted to the candidate for gov
ernor, Mr. Flick, asking that he intro-
uice it. He approved, but did not in
troduce. Then I gave it to Mr. Boyes,
the temporary chairman, who promised
to put it through, but when I left for
the train after twelve he still had it in
his hand unused. C F. FRANK.

Some "Sham" Reform
Our little talk last week about the
hospital for insane at Hastings saved
the lives of a number of republican
editors and politicians.
They cooled 'down a little.
Their cries of "sham reform" are
fainter than they were last week.
But the taxpayers are greatly inter
ested. The most patriotic citizen pays his
taxes less cheerfully than he does any
other debt.
This is because of the semi-mystery
which too often surrounds the expen
diture of public funds.
Every contributor to any common
fund likes to know that his contribu
tion is properly applied to the uses for
which it was raised.
If he distrusts the promoters of the
fund, he avoids contributing.
But none can avoid the payment of
taxes, except the millionaire or pauper.
Few Nebraskans are millionaires or
paupers.
Hence, few escape payment of taxes.
Having contributed toward the main
tenance of state government, the tax
payer likes to know that his contri
bution is properly expended.
That is why Nebraska taxpayers are
studying these talks on "sham reform."
The state of Nebraska has a hos
pital for insane at Lincoln.
Acute forms of insanity are treated
there, entailing greatf.r expense per
patient than at Hastings, where cases
of longer standing are treated.
But the "sham raformers" have a
knack of doing state business in a busi
nesslike way.
During the period commencing Jan
uary 1, 1892, and ending December 31,
1894, this hospital at Lincoln was in
charge of a republican tate admin
istration.
A period of three years.
Total cost for maintenance of in
mates during period, $196,849.32.
Average cost per year, $65,616.44.
Average number of inmates during
period, 331.
Average cost per inmate per year,
198.24.
The next period began January 1,
1895, and ended May 31, 1900.
A period of five years and five
months.
Governor Holcomb and his appoin
tees did not assume control until June
18, 1835, because of litigation in re
moving the republican superintendent.
But. it is useless to split hairs.
Call the whole period as under fu
sion management.
Total cost for maintenance of in
mates during period, $314,741.30.
Average cost per year. S56.259.9fi.
Average number of inmates durine
period, Job.
Average cost per Inmate per year.
$15S.U3.
Not a bad showing, eh?
Over $40 per year in maintaining
each inmate.
Yet the unfortunate wards of the
state were never better clothed, bet
ter fed and better housed than in this
year of our Lord, 1900, with Governor
William A. Poynter as chief executive
They were never given better medi
cal treatment or had ebtter nursing
and attendance.
Forty dollars a year!
Suppose, like Maud Muller and the
judge, we say "it might have been."
During the first period, under a fu
sion reform administration, "it might
have been" $156,923 79
It really was 196,849 32
Republican mismanagements 39,925 53
Had republicans been in control dur
ing the last period, "it might have
been" $382,272 80
It really was 314,741 30
Fusion saving $ 67,531 50
Taxpayers, are you sighing "it might
have been" over the past five years and
more of fusion government?
Do you want a change?
A vote for Dietrich the banker migu.
give you a change that would take a
great deal of change out of your
pockets.
A vote for Poynter, the farmer gov
ernor, will insure two more years of
good government.
Lichty Declines
Samuel Lichty, who was nominated
at Grand Island by the railroad pass
taking middle-of-the-roaders, without
his knowledge or consent, has since
announced that he will not accept the
"honor," and will so inform the com
mittee empowered to fill vacancies.
Prior to the holding of the conven
tion. Mr. Lichty was importuned to ac
cept the nomination, but he declined in
such a manner that even the man who
placed him in nomination, said he had
grave doubts that Mr. L'chty would
accept, till the convention insisted.
Mr. Lichty is unalterably opposed
to railroad passes, and this was the
chief cause of his complaint against
the fusion officials, but when he saw
how flagrant was the abuse of this
foim of bribery among the members of
the Grand Island conventfon, he con
cluded tnat he could not accept a nom
ination at the hands of such a bomis
reform party, but between the two evils
he would choose the last and stick with
the fusionists. This course is made
clear to him since the Sioux Falls and
Lincoln conventions have expressly de
clared against railroad passes in any
form to be used as bTibes Tor state
officials.
The News understands from reliable
authority that Mr. Lichty will support
the fusion ticket. This being so, the
middle-of-the-roaders now have to look
elsewhere for a candidate for state au
ditor. Falls City News. -

Education Wins
Education must precede reform. It is
the first essential to success. The masses
of the people are honest aad desire to
do what is for the best. They lack in
formation. There is no better method
for f urnishing the information and edu
cation than the circulation of a weekly
newspaper. The weekly newspaper re
cords the progress of the campaign, dis
cusses all the issues and reviews all the
important events as they occur. It is
intrptinc and instructive and it is
read with greater care and more consid
eration than pamphlets, circulars aaa
political documents issued by campaign
committees during the heat of a cam
paign. The people when thoroughly ac
quainted with the facts will not support
or endorse the course of the present na
tional administration in its policy of im
perialism, militarism and favoritism.
They will not endorse or support wars of
conquest, or the "benevolent assimila
tion" of the Filipinos, the "plain duty"
discrimination against the Porto Ricans,
the disgraceful management of the army
and the defalcations and frauds perpe
trated in Cuba; the gold standard and
special legislation by which the issue
and control of the currency of the coun
try wa3 placed with the national bankers;
the subsidies given to the Standard Oil
Co., and the fostering care of other
trusts and monopolies. To these may be
added the repudiation of the Monroe
doctrine, the abandonment of the decla
ration of independence and many other
indictments for the usurpation of the
rights of the people. Such a policy can
not but meet with the condemnation of
every loyal and patriotic citizen conver
sant with the facts. Will you do your
part in the struggle to restore the gov
ernment to the people by helping to in
crease the circulation of the independ
ent? The special rate of 15 cents for the
campaign puts it within the reach of
everyone. Are there not half-a dozen
doubtful voters in your precinct to whom
you can send the Independent? How
can you invest 90 cents to a better ad
vantage? Where can you get so much
valuable literature for so little expense?
The Independent every week from now
until the close of the campaign, to six
different addresses, anywhere in the
United States, for 90 cants. Think of it
hardly the cost of white paper make
up your list and send it today.
AMERICAN C1VILIZERS
Twelve Thousand, Four Hundred, and
Eighty -one Court Martial in Ten
and a Half Months.
The first annual report of Major
John A. Hull, judge advocate of the
military department makes an as
tounding showing of the criminal rec
ord of the army and Americans in the
Philippines. The report covers the
period up to the close of the fiscal
year June 30, 1S99, an actual period of
ten and one-half months.
During this period, there was an av
erage number of 21,078 enlisted men
in the command, yet durin gthis time
there were 12,481 cases or court mar
tial of various sorts. These were
divided as follows:
General court martials 565
Garrison court martials 3
Summary court martials 11.902
Trials by military commission.. 11
Total 12,481
Two of these were officers.
The 11,902 trials by summary court

to teach civilization were arrested and
tried for crime or misdemeanor before
the first eleven months or the Ameri
can occupation were completed. Be
sides this, the report shows 137 deser
tions from the American ranks during
the same period.
Thus, according to this official re
port covering the first ten and one
half months of the American occu
pation, there were held an average
of 38 court martials a day for the
entire period, among the average total
of 21,078 soldiers.
But this ; criminal . record does not
cover all of the outbreaks of the new
civilization. During this time, the
superior provost court of Manila dis
posed of 254 criminals, 33 of whom
were Americans. The report further
includes the work of the inferior court
of Manila from January to June only.
During this time, 4,353 different crim
inals were disposed of covering every
offense from vagrancy to rape. The
number of Americans among these Is
not given, though the proportion is
known to be large.
The provost court at Cavite adds its
quota of 79 cases, Iloilo 75 and Jaro 3.
From August 24, 1898, to June 30,
1898, there were 5,801 convicts sen
tenced to Bilibid, the Filipino peni
tentiary. Besides these military mills of jus
tice there were three police courts
grinding away, turning out a daily
grist of vagrants, gamblers, drunks,
fighters, etc. Scarce a clay's record
appears in which from two to twenty
American "reformers" nave not been
on the dock charged with drunken
outrages.
Two years of this sort of thing have
passed and the Filipinos are not civ
ilized yet.
There appears to be a discrepancy
in some of these figures, but they are
as El fen in the official report.
Fixing the Price of Wheat
Mr. Morton, in his letter, favored
Cheap Wheat Webster's ideas, and only
by great self-sacrifice did he refrain
from mentioning the crime of '73. Even
then he felt impelled to say:
"International grain markets cannot
be arbitrarily furnished with perma
nent prices by any sort of an Interna
tional agreement, although I confess
that an international congress to fix
the price of wheat would be equally as
efficacious and conclusive as an inter
national monetary conference called
for the purpose of fixing the price of
silver."
Of course the plan savored too much
of the sub-treasury scheme, advocated
those long-whiskered pops, for Mor
ton to give even a courteous reply.
Yet the Russians knew a thing or two
about wheat statistics that Mr. Mor
ton's egotism will forever prevent him
from learning.
"There are two principles of the
common law that are of the utmost mo
ment to students of monopoly. The
first is that a monopoly is void as
against public policy. (See 121 111.,
