CITY OF ROBBERS
J. Sterling Morton Proposes to Kob Wash
er Women and the Mayor asks the
Attorney General Not to
Prosecute Him
Nebraska City has placed an indel
ible blot upon its reputation by the
action of its mayor and other citi
zens. It has petitioned Attorney Gen
eral Smyth to allow Morton to operate
a trnst in this state in violation of
law, in order that the citizens of that
place may have a portion of the boo
dle. That is the exact position taken
by the mayor of Nebraska City and a
number of its citizens. They do not
deny that Morton has organized a
trust, the chief object of which is to
rob washerwomen, but they say that
they will reap great advantages from
the operation of the trust and the rob
bery that it will commit, so they don't
want it prosecuted.
They ask the attorney general to
violate his oath of office. They want
the courts to allow the violation of
law that they may profit thereby.
There was never a meaner, more
dishonorable, selfish, despisable, crim
inal organization on the face of the
earth than Morton's starch trust, for
it proposes, after having destroyed all
competition, to rob the weakest and
most helpless portion of the population
of this state. The women who wash
use starch. As they bend over their
wash-tubs. Morton, by the means of
his unlawful trust, proposes to collect
tribute from them for himself and his
millionaire associates. And now comes
the mayor of the city of Nebraska City
and because he and some of the citi
zens of that town will share in the
robberies of the trust ask that it be
not prosecuted!
It Is the most shameful act ever
committed by a citizen of the state of
Nebraska.
If the citizens of that place continue
in any number to sanction such an
outrage, and The Independent does not
believe that many of them have or
will do such a thing, every honest man
in and out of the state will say: "Let
them be anathema maranatha."
This account of matters comes from
republican sources. The State Jour- '
nal gloats over this attempt to set
asid. th law nf the etato T
the sanction of the whole republican
party.
Last night there was a great meet-
ing at Nebraska City, addressed by
xuiiaiu J . ut jdu ttuu -rt.ll.uriiey rell- i
erai s&myth. Large numbers of people
attended from Lincoln and other
towns in this state and Iowa. And
the shameless mayor of Nebraska City
appeared before the attorney general
with a set of resolutions asking him
not to prosecute Morton's starch trust.
THE NEBRASKA INDEPENDENT.
because some of the citizens of Ne-j
braska City benefitted by it!
That action of the mayor and the
citizens brands them with eternal in
famy. Morton is to be allowed to vio
late the law as long as he will deride
his gains with these men! Did any
one ever hear of a proposition like that
made In all seriousness before? Do
they want to turn the beautiful city
where they live into a Sodom? Are
they to be the only place in the state
wherp rnhherv hv trusts is to h nuh-
where robbery by trusts is to be pub
wittingly signed that paper better get
together
and reconsider. If that is
to be the public policy of Nebraska
City the town will die of moral rotten
ness and the site will be sown with
salt before another generation passes
away.

THE LINCOLN STREET FAIR
The Greatest Free Show Ever Held
in
America Nothing Immoral or In
decent A Good Time for All
The week of October 1 to 6, Carnival
week, will undoubtedly witness great
crowds and a good time for people gen
erally at Lincoln.
The management of the Carnival
this year Is in practically the same
hands as that of the street fair of last
year, which justly earned the reputa
tion of being the greatest fair in all
America. There may be other towns
in which men (only) may better en
joy themselves for the time being, but
no other town furnishes the entertain
ment for the whole family that Lin
coln does. The railroads will make a
half rate on all days and less than a
half rate on some days. Monday will
be opening day. Tuesday will be Re
publican day, and Roosevelt will be
the attraction; Wednesday will be Fu
sion day; Senator Wellington of Mary
land and Governor Hogg of Texas will
be present and deliver addresses, and
every loyal populist who can do so
should help to swell the great throng
that will undoubtedly be present.
Thursday will be Flower day, and the
floral parade will be an event in the
lives of those who have never wit
nessed a similar pageant on a large
scale. Friday will be Horse Show day.
The horsemen of the Capital City and
surrounding country are taking great
interest in the event and there will
undoubtedly be a great display of
horses and fine equipages. Saturday
will be Carnival day proper, when
thousands of people grotesquely cos
tumed and masked will enjoy unlim
ited fun in the battle of confetti.
And every day will be a circus day,
and such performances have been en
gaged as have never before been seen
in free shows upon the streets of any
city in America.
The great Todd-Judge family, the
greatest of all acrobats; the four La
Mothes. marvellous aerialists; the
Tien Son Japanese wire-walkers, jug
glers, magicians, equilibrists, are a
few of the great stars in the circus
world engaged at the largest salaries
ever paid by a Street Carnival commit-

punishment at death.
The verdict of guilty was unani

but considerable delay and discussion
concerning the penalty to be fixed kept
the jury out for many hours. Some of
the jurors at first preferred life im

death penalty.

NEWS OF THE WEEK
The editor has spent hours in read
ing the matter that has been published
about China in the vain endeavor to
arrive at some conclusion for the bene
fit of the readers of The Independent.
They have been hours for the most
part spent for naught. Cablegrams
continue to be published, or what per
ports to be cablegrams, occupying
much space in the great dailies and af
ter one reads them all, what does he
know? Practically nothing. There is
a long felt want which it is hoped that
some enterprising publisher will soon
proceed to fill and that is to print a
paper where fact will be stated as fact
and rumor as ruraor, and opinion of
correspondents as opirions.
All that can be said about China is
that the allied troops are still there
and more are coming all the time. It
seems probable from all that has been
printed, including the portions of di
plomatic notes that have been given
to the public, that the allied troops
will soon leave the city of Pekiu, not
from any change of policy, but because
it is going to be a very difficult and
costly thing to maintain troops there
during the winter mouths. The Ger
man government is still insisting on
that the Chinese government shall, as
a prerequisite to the beginning of ne
gotiations of peace, deliver into the
hands of the foreign powers having
troops in China all the perpetrators
and instigators of the assaults made
upon foreigners. Such a demand could
never be complied with by any govern
ment and under no circumstances will
it be by . the Chinese. All the other
powers reem to realize that fact and
refuse to give adhesion to such a de
mand. prnmpnt. and China. Correspondents
at Pekin say that tlieve is every evi
dence that General Chaffee intends to
soon evacuate Pekin. That the ship
ment of winter supplies have been
stopped. . It is also said at Washing
ton that all the American troops will
be withdrawn except a very large le-
j .ration euard and
the troops sent to
! the Philiimines, where they are very
J much needed, if the war upon the
j Filipino is to be continued.
i
j The news from the Philippines.
j -which is more fully treated in special j
i articles this week, proves that the
) forecasts of The Independent made
j two years ago are coming true. It
was nointed out at the very beginning
of that war that it would take years of
time and more than 100,000 soldiers to
conquer the people of the archipelago.
Spain spent many millions of money
nnrl sneriflred many thousands Ot sol-
diers in the effort and utterly tailed.
That the war will go on there for
years to come, if the McKinley policy
is attempted to be enforced, no rea
sonable man can deny. There are S,
000.000 or 10,000.000 people situated on
islands whose coasts it is an utter im
possibility to blockade. They are all
determined on independence. The land
is productive enough to support the
inhabitants and make large contri
butions to war funds besides. There
is not a particle of doubt that taxes
for the support of Agumaldo's fighters
are regularly collected all over the isl
and, including the city of Manila it
self. ! The activity of armed insurgents
j and the large numbers in which they
! hae appeared even in.. imty or
Manila makes the situation in the
Phiiirmines not only critical, but
shows beyond a reasonable doubt that
the Filipino agents m fc-urope nae
not spent their time in idleness. There
are a superabundance of well trained
soldiers of fortune in all European
countries who , only wait the oppor
tunity to enlist under any flag and
fight for any cause where pay and pro
motion is pretty certain. There can
not be much difficulty in landing
arms in the Philippines, for it is an
absolute impossibility to blockade the
coasts. The taxes that the Filipinos
have been collecting for the last year
have been enough to buy arms and pay
officers. We may look for bloody
work in the near future.
The news which has come from
South Africa during the week has been
most contradictory. It was announced
through British sources that the re
sistance to British arms had almost
entirely ceased and then a day or two
afterwards news of severe fighting was
forwarded. It was said that Presi
dent Kruger had resigned and fled and
that the Transvaal was wholly with
out a pretense of government. But
the Boer envoys who are now in Hol
land, issued the following statement:
"We have been informed that a
proclamation Issued by Lord Roberts,
commander-in-chief of the British

troops in South Africa, contains a
statement to the effect that President
Kruger has crossed the borders of the
republic and consequently should have
formally resigned as president, and
that his forsaking the cause of the
Boers ought to convince the burghers
how useless it will be to go on fight
ing. We feel obliged to protest against
this new insinuation, desiring to say
that if the state president of the South
African republic should have crossed
the borders of his country, he must
have done so by order of the 'Uitvor
ende raad' (executive council), which
body by virtue of a special warrant of
the "vlksraad, in its session of 1S99,
is fully entitled to authorize the presi
dent to go abroad for some purpose or
other; according to the constitution
the vice president in such a case imme
diately enters upon the duties of the
state president and the government is
carried on as before. So there is no
question about abdicating, as presi
dent.
or forsaking the cause of the
Boers. The proclamation thus can
have no other purpose than by a false
representation of facts harming the
enemy, who cannot be brought into
submission even by ti e application of
measures Contrary to law and justice."
The long drawn out quarrel between
Dr. Lang and the state authorities has
at last come to a close. The court
that interfered and issued an injunc
tion reversed its findings and the sher
iff was sent to oust Dr. Lang and in
stall the governor's appointees. In the
settlement of accounts there was only
$9 shown to be due from Dr. Lang, and
he claimed that that was an error in
bookkeeping. The sum of -the whole
business is just as the governor stated
it in the beginning. There are no
charges against Dr. Lang of embezzle
ment or anything of that kind. He
kept up a quarrel all the time with
the employes and tha institution ,was
in a turmoil. If the court had not re
sorted to the Injunction business, the
whole thing would have been settled
as such mistakes in appointment are
usually settled without any trouble.
There is a general parliamentary
election in progress in Great Britain.
It seems to be a foregone thing that
the Salisbury-Chamberlain party will
come back into power with an in
creased majority. The liberal party,
the old party of Gladstone, deserves
its fate. In the hour of trial it proved
to be mainly a party of political cow
ards who were afraid of the rabble and
never had the courage of its convic
tions. It is announced that many of
the eminent scholars, thinkers and
waiters who have been sent to parlia
ment as liberals, will withdraw whol
ly from politics, so disgusted are they
with the cowardice of the leaders. Now
that it is too late to accomplish any
thing some of the liberal leaders like
Harcourt and Lord Rosebery are
speaking out their minds about the
Boer war and the imperialism that
Joe Chamberlain has led the country
into. The English debt is piling up
mountain high, taxes are being In
creased and other countries are tak
ing away the British trade, while its
government" spends its energies on
war. A new party will arise that will
have the courage to speak the truth
in spite of the rabble and Joe Cham
berlain. But the English people will
have to suffer for all this. Some man
will arise that will bring the govern
ment back to the principles which
made it great.
The latest news about China is to
the effect that orders have been issued
for the retire of the American troops
from China, except a legation guard,
and their immediate dispatch to the
Philippines, and that the emperor of
Germany still insists upon his de
mands. It is thought probable that
as soon as Count Waldersee, the Ger
man field marshal, arrives Germany
will declare war on China. Then there
will be another addition to continen
tal war debts, which the poor will
have to toil to pay.
Lincoln Vs. McKinley
It is our purpose to establish in the
Rhilippines a government suitable to
tfte wants and conditions of the inhab
itants and to prepare them for self
government and to give them self
government when they are ready for
it and as rapidly as they are ready for
it William McKinley, In his letter of
acceptance.
Those arguments that are made,
that the inferior races i:re to be treated
with as much allowance as they are
capable of enjoying, that as much is
to be done for them as their condition
will allow what are these arguments?
They are the arguments that kings
have made for enslaving the people in
all ages of the world. You will find
that all the arguments in favor of
kingcraft were of this class; they al
ways bestrode the necks of the people,
not that they wanted 1o do it, but be
cause the people were better off for
being ridden. This is their argument.

will whether it comes from the mouth
of a king as an excuse for enslaving
the people of his country, or from the
mouth of men of one race as a reason
for enslaving the men of another race,
it is all the same old serpent. Abra
ham Lincoln, in his Chicago speech,
July 10, 1858.
Why They Rally
At the close of Mr. Bryan's address
Chairman Wilson in behalf of the
committee, asked Comrade Hawley,
president of the league, to make a
few remarks to further explain why
so many old soldiers had left the re
publican party.
Mr. Hawley said in part that why
he and so many old soldiers lefl the
republican party was because the old
bourbon democrat of the sixties and
the present day republican party had
changed places. The old line democrat
favored slavery in the sixties and the
j republicans re-established slavery In
the nineties and pay the slave-drivers
by the month in addition and. as
Abraham Lincoln used to say that or
dinary democrats spelled the word
negro with two "g's" (nigger). So dot's
the ordinary republican now and caJl-s
them cowards besides. The old dem
ocrat called greenbacks shinplasters
and rag babies; the' republicans now
want to burn them up. The old line
democrat claimed that the Declara
tion of Independence was for white
people only, while the republicans re
pudiate it altogether. The bourbon
hauled down the American Hag In the
extreme south in ISGi and the repub
licans haul it down in the extreme
north in 1900. The republic was threat
ened then and is threatened now and
as we rallied to its defense then so
we "rally once again" now.
Bankrupt
Editor Independent: ; is it true that
President McKinley is a bankrupt?
Thar, while squandering the people's
money in such a reckless manner, does
lu; pay any taxes himself? Is it true
that, when governor of Ohio, he left.
the treasury bankrupt when, he went
out of office? If he bankrupted him
self and the state of Ohio, is it not
probable that he will bankrupt th
United States? If these questions are
worth answering, please answer them
in such a way that the answers can be
copied by the country press.

A STRONG INSTITUTION.
The Nebraska Mercantile Mutual In
surance company is one of those in
stitutions that seems to keep con
stantly growing and improving.
Its business for ' August, 1900, Just
closed, was a little over 25 per cent
greater than last August.
This is an important increase.
This company is up with the times
and worthy the patronage of Nebras

The average price of a IGO-acre farm
with all improvements in Nemaha
county is $c,500. The people in Ne
maha county paid $5,500 in war taxes
this year. This means that the value
of a IGO-acre Nemaha county farm
was squandered in an effort to fasten
upon a people fighting for their inde
pendence a government they do not
want. Keep this up year after year
as the republican party proposes to do
and before a generation will have
passed, -war taxes will increase to the
point where Nemaha county will have
to pay out for revenue stamps the
value of three or four 160-acre farms
annually to keep up and immense
