The constitution of the United States
cannot be changed or amended only by
referring the amendments to the sev
eral state legislatures. It ought to
be referred to a vote of the people, but
the upper em?t feared the popular vote
then aa much as they do now. No state
constitution, if we rightly remember,
can be changed or amended until a
majority of the people vote for it. Now
why not change our constitution and
require every law to pass congress
and our state legislatures by a three
fourths vote of both houses or else
submit it to a vote of the people. The
people ought to have more voice in
our law-making power.
The anti-Thompson republicans are
peddling letters written by D. E.
Thompson, a year or two ago, to a
holder of stock in the Lincoln Gas and
Lighting company. It appears the
stock holder wrote to Mr. Thompson
enquiring why the dividends should be
so low as long as such good prices
were paid for lighting the city. Mr.
luompson writes that the cost of lu
bricating the city government w-s so
great that it necessarily reduced the
dividends. This may be all a lie,
nevertheless it is true to nature. Vote
the Thompson legislative ticket and
you vote for that kind of a man for
senator.

when I think of the unequal fight that

fore one giant was nothing. It is now
Bryan before a thousand giants and
hundreds of millions of dollars back
ing them up. I have not forgotten that
ft took twenty years with ballots and
then four years more with bullets to
whip the slave driver and I believe
the ree people of America are good for
the same lengthy fight wth the mil
lionaires. This is only the second
battle.
The present ballot box war is a war
between the classes and" the masses.
The banking and money loaning class
want special laws made in their in
terest. They ar not willing the gov
ernment should remain the head of
the monev nower The v will

soon de-
ight to contral the coin
age of gold as well as of silver. The
manufacturing class want special laws
to protect them - from competition.
They are not willing to seli their goods
on the markets of tho world as the
farmer does. They want, the privilege
of selling their goods at a high price
at home and at a lower price abroad.
They will not let. us buy American
goods abroad, and bring -them home
without paying tariff. They want pro
tection against themselves as well as
against, the paupers of Europe. In
side of the tariff fence they are bound
to monopolize every branch of manu
facturing so they can raise or lower
I prices at will. The only remedy is to
tear down the tariff fence and let the
trusts fight the world. Then there Is
the carrying class. Railroad charges
are on the money invested, but the
water in the stock must draw as much
dividend as the money. The onlj' lim
it of charging is all the goods will
bear. The same rule holds good on
water. The ship owners think they
must have all the freight charges the
goods will bear and then a government
subsidy on top of that. The cry all
through these classes is for more than
we earn and special laws that will
give us the advantage of the masses.
If you think more of the classes than
of the masses you want to vote the
McKinley ticket, but if jtm want equal
justice all around vote for Bryan.
You hear some of the republican
speeches made now-adays on prosper
ity and you would be led to believe (if
you did not know better) that McKin
ley rules the entire shooting match on
both-sides of the earth. Everything
was in gloom and horror spread over
the- canopy of heaven. Working men
all over the world were starving to
death or living in soup houses, factor
ies were all closed, banks were all
smashed, railroads all in the hands of
receivers, gold, silver and iron mines
all closed and extinction of the race
only a short distance ahead. Cleve
land's four years had caused it. All
Europe and America lay awake nights
to damn Cleveland and his administra
tion. McKinley was elected and the
next day every factory started, every
mine -was opened andevev rbank. too:.
every working man found work and
changed his food from soup to beef
steak; their dinner pails were i.ull and
so were their purses. The outside
world wanted more of our wheat, beef
and cotton than ever before. All Am
erica, Europe, Asia and Africa began
singing the old familiar hymn, "Praise
McKinley from whom all blessings
flow." Leaving the republican orators
to themselves it is a fact that. Europe
had just as good ground for cursing
Cleveland as America had. The times
were just as hard there as here. Then,
Europe, today, has just as good ground
for lauding McKinley as America has
for their times have improved, every
way, as much as ours have. Of course
the tin-pated republicans take it all
in and swear it is McKinley who has
done it all from one end of the world
to the other.
NEBRASKA SOLDIERS
How They Were Brought to a Standard of
Efficiency That Conferred Honor
and Glory Upon the State
by a Populist Adjutant
General.
There is not a department of the
state government under populist con
trol which has not conferred honor
upon this state. In the handling of
millions of money, not a cent has been
embezzled, the educational institutions
have prospered as never before and ev
ery civil affair has been handled with
skill and economy. During the few
years that these officials have been in
power, there arose a demand for mili
tary knowledge and skill. In that de
partment as well as in all others, a
populist was found in office who was
equal to all demands made upon him.
The record of General Barry as the
real commander of the, state military
forces has, been such as to confer hon
dr upon the state. He has made a rec
ord not equalled for military skill and
efficiency by another adjutant gleneral
in all the states of the union. It is on
file in the permanent documents of
the state and the United States. There
it will remain for a testimony to all
coming generations that in military
affairs, as well as in civil government
the populists of Nebraska proved equal
to every demand made upon them.
On April 19, 1895, Governor Hol
comb appointed Hon. P. H. Barry who
had served through the civil war and
in two sessions of the Nebraska legis
lature, adjutant general of the state of
Nabraska.
The first action taken by General
Barry on assuming the administration
of military affairs, was to make a per
sonal inspection of the various com
panies comprising the National Guard
of the state. The guard was found to
be deficient in many articles of equip
ment that are necessary for active field
service. On completing the work of
inspection General Barry immediately
equipped the troops with the neces
ic.ry equipment, including haversacks,
canteens and woven or web cartridge
belts, to enable them to uphold the
civil lawT in case of emergency. The
work of administration and internal
economy was taken up in a systematic
manner, which proved to be most help
ful when the guard, was called into ac
tive service. 1,
The financial history of the military
department prior to General Barry's
administration, shows .the following:
In 1887 the Twentieth session of the
legislature of the state of Nebraska ap
propriated $70,000 for the support of
the Nebraska national guard as fol
lows, viz: $20,000 in a general appro
priation bill, and $50,000 by chapter 50
of the Session Laws of that session,
making a grand total of $70,000. Dur
ing these two years there were held
two brigade encampments as provid
ed. by law, and at the close of the bien
nium $9,000 was parried over to the
next biennium, which shows the cost
of the administration of the military
department for the year 18S7 and 1S8S
to be $61,000.
During the biennium .of 1895 and
1896, Adjutant General Barry, in com
pliance with chapter 56, Compiled
Statutes and by the order of the gov
ernor, held two encampments; the first
at Hastings in 1895 and the second at
Lincoln, in 1896, at a total cost of $37,
456.03. The difference in carrying out the
provisions of chapter L6 under a re
publican and populist administration
is shown by the above figures to be
$24,000: v
Governor Holcomb's message to the
Twenty-fifth session of the legislature
states that the excellent condition of
the state's militia is due in a great
measure to he efficient administra
tion of Adjutant General P. II. Barry.
In the biennium of 1897-8, General
Barry carried on the. course of practi
cal military instruction and complete
ly equipped the guard for an emerg
ency that arose sooner than was ex
pected. The republican, party had claimed
prior to this period that the populist
party .-were unable to administer the
affairs of the state in sn efficient man
ner, but when th? crisis of war came
the military department of the state
of Nebraska, was found equal to the
emergency ' and responded to the call
made by the president of the United
States. The following extract from a
letter from President McKinley to Mr.
Moiklejohn shews the promptness with
which the. Nebraska national guard re
sponded to the call of the president.
and his appreciation of the same. The
letter was read at the banquet ren
dered the First Nebraska volunteers
on their return from Manila.
Executive Mansion, Washington, D.
C.; Sept 9, 1900. My Dear Mr. Mei
klejohn: Pressure of public business
prevents me from, accepting the very
cordial invitation exicrded to partici
pate la the welcome to be accorded the
First Nebraska volunteers at Lincoln.
The. Nebraska '--volunteers were
among the first to respond to the call
of tha executive. H.ow conspicuously
they have reahzedvevery patrioticx
pectation is known to their state and
the country. .
With every good wish that the wel
come of the First ' Nebraska may be
most generous and patriotic, believe
mer most sincerely yours,
y WILLIAM M'KINLET.
On April 26 President McKinley is
sued his call; Jar volunteers, designat
ing the First' and Second regiments.
Nebraska national guard, by reason of
their military efficiency; and on April
28 these two regiments reported for
duty, responding to the call of the
governor within 24 hours. The tele
grams were forwarded at midnight on
April the 26th, ' and the officers and
men responded to the call of the presi
dent with the patriotism, that the vol
unteer soldier is noted for. The last
company reporting for ' duty, after
travelling over 400 miles, were ready
to be sworn. into the United States ser
vice on their arrival; that they were
not sworn, in sooner was not the fault
of the military department of the state
but by reason of the changes made in
the military organization by act of
congress, April 13, preceding this.
The two rr '-stents were mustered
into the United States service on May
9 and 10, and the work in the adjutant
general's office was taxed to its ut
most capacity, for the reason that, tne
legislature had made no provision for
an emergency of this Kind, and arter
a consultation ' 'with Governor Hol
comb, who was being urged at the
time to call a special session of the
legislature to appropriate a war fund
to enable the military department to
carry on its work in a more thorough
manner, the adjutant general and the
governor from their information at
that time did not deem it ad disable to
put the state to the expense of a spe
cial session of the legislature, and by
their own personal obligations bor
rowed the money that was necessary
to carry the state through this trying
period. ' ' "
General Barry ; displayed excellent
judgment in the -detail of officers and
men who had special qualifications,
not only in a military capacity, but in
the administration of the various staff
departments necessary to a military
establishment. The troops were or
dered into camp at Camp Alvin Saun
ders and were there subsisted in ac
cordance with the United States army
regulations, and were clothed, armed
and equipped ready to take the field.
The , First . regiment went to San
Francisco and from there to Manila.
The record of this regiment is too well
knowti to repeat in this article. The
Second; regiment departed for Chica
mauga, Where it suffered greater losses
during its period of duty there than
did the ' First Nebraska prior to the
outbreak at Manila, February 3, 1899.
On May 12, troop A was mustered
into the United States service at Camp
Alvin Saunders and at the second call
for troops, Nebraska did its full duty
by raising the Third regiment Nebras
ka volunteer infantry which more
than completed , its quota.
' Nebraska was required to furnish at
the first call .2.114 officers and men; -at
the second call 1,268. Nebraska fur
nished three regiments of infantry, a
troop of cavalry i total. number of men
furnished, 4,016; excess furnished by
Nebraska as shown, by the records of
the office, 634 men. r .. .
The cost of raising and equipping
the Nebraska . volunteers was $33,-
412.69, all of which, has been collected
from the United States without any
cost to the state, which is a striking
contrast with the republican officials,
where the amount of collection ha3
ranged from 25 to 50 per cent of the
amount collected. When the United
States reimbursed the state, the same
was paid into the state treasury. In
the work of reimbursing, General Bar
ry has stated that the military depart
ment' is under great obligations to
Colonel ' "Stark, members of congress
in . the . Fourth" district, in bringing
around a , speedy adjustment of the
claims of .the state. - .
Contrasting the- bilis furnished by
other states. notably Connecticut,
which furnished a smaller number of
troops and under a -republican admin
istration, the bill' for the same work
was $175,648.36, and in the state of
California, which' furnished the same
number of troops, the bill was S101,
576.12; showing what may be done un
der "a careful" business management of
public affairs.
The history ot the Nebraska troops
during the Spanish-American war is
too well known. A fitting testimonial
of the splendid military instruction of
General Barry; before and during this
trying period, was made at -the ban
quet tendered the First Nebraska at
the Lindell Hotel in Lincoln on August
14, 1899, when Captain Cosgrove, re
sponding to the toast of the "Volunteer
Soldier," paid, a great tribute of love
and respect for the splendid instruc
tions that the Nebraska national guard
received from General Barry prior to
the war with Spain, and it was this
instruction and administration which
helped the Nebraska volunteers to
acquit themselves in such a creditable
manner, as not only to reflect great
credit on themselves, but on the state
which they represented. . .
The fatherly care nd great interest
taken by General Barry, under the
direction of Governors Holcomb and
Poyntcr. in the care of the sick and
wounded soldiers, of the various Ne
braska regiments, is too well known
to be repeated here, and the parents
of these boys will never forget their
many acts of kindness.
-After the muster out of the volun
teer regiments, General Barry took up
the work cf reorganizing the Nebras
ka national guard, immediately reor
ganizing the Second regiment on its
return to the state and completed the
same early in the summer of 1899. The
work of reorganizing ihe First regi
ment was taken up immediately after
its niustor out of the United States
service. 1
General Barry has completely uni
formed, armed and equipped the guar
of this state, so that they are ready to
take the field, and this has been done
without any cost to the taxpayers of
the state, the same having been dene
by the economical administration and
the saving of the state's appropriation
made by act of congress under section
1661. Revised Statutes of the united
States.
At the brigade -encampment held at
Hastings in August, 1900, by authority
of the governor. General Barry was
placed in command, and the splendid
work done at this time shows how well
the military department of ihe state,
as well as all other departments, can
be administered in a most efficient
manner by a popnlist.

GEN. LUNA'S PROCLAMATION
Some of The Reasons Why it Was Promul
gated Taken From the Evidence
Printed in Manila Free
dom. At various times and places the re
publican press has indulged in print
ing extracts for various proclamations
issued by Aguinaldo and other Fili
pino generals. General Luna issued
one of these proclamations that have
been so much condemned. The proc
lamation was as follows:
"Headquarters of the Military Oper
ations Against Manila.
"I, Antonia Luna, general -in chief
of operations, ordain and command
from this date forward:
"First The following will be exe
cuted by shooting without court-mar-tifl:
"A. Spies and those who give news
of us to the enemy.
"B. Those who commit robberies
and those who violate women.
"Second All towns which may be
abandoned by our forces will be
burned down.
"No one deplores war more than I
do; I detest it; but we have an in
alienable right to defend our soil from
falling into the hands of the fresh
rulers who desire to appropriate it,
slaughtering, our men, women and
children.
"For this reason we are in duty
bound as Filipinos to sacrifice every
thing for our independence, however
great may be the sacrifices which the
Fatherland requires of us.
"General headquarters at Polo, Feb
ruary 15, 1899.
"The general in chief of operations,
- "A. LUNA."
Why such a proclamation was Issued
can be seen from the following ex
tracts from Mar.lla Freedom, the ad
ministration paper published at Ma
nila. Philippine islands, from which
we have before reprinted several items.
"Two ;men . of the Thirty-sixth in

Thursday ; night at 7 o'clock. The
lady's name is Josef a de la Rosa, ond
she was passing along the street in
company with her lover, Sr. Franco
Flores, when Cummings in a naked
condition rushed from a doorway and
threw his arms around the astonished
senorita's slender waist. She
screamed loudly for help and Flores,
gallantly came to her rescue. Disen
gaging one arm, Cummings landed an
upper cut on the furicus lover's jaw,
that placed him hors de combat. Sev
eral natives approached with the evi
dent intention of defending their coun
trywoman; but the sight of Cummings
caused them to retreat in dismay cry
ing 'Loco Americano' at the top of
their voices. Despite the senorita's
struggles, Cummings dragged her
within the doorway, and carried her in
a semi-unconscioUs - condition to his
room. :
"Here she renewed the struggle for
her freedom to little avail. ,
"Meanwhile Flores. had recovered
from the effects of the blow Cummings
had given him and had succeeded in
securing ,i the, services of.a. policeman.
He.. Jed ; the officer to the doorway
through . which Cummings had disap
peared wuth, the woman m his arms.
The pair hurried "upstairs and had lit
tle difficulty in locating Cummings'
room. The door ;stood ajar, and ;the
sound of someone moaning was plainly.
audible to tneir ears. The policeman
entered the room and called unbn
Cummings to surrender.
"The latter did not answer. The 6f
ficer struck a match, and the light re
vealed the form of Senorita de la Rosa,
prostrate in one-corner -of the room.
Her hair and clothes were disar
ranged and she gave no sign of life.
Flores knelt by her side while the po
liceman lighted the lamp. Cummings
had disappeared. After considerable
effort Flores succeeded in restoring his
fiancee to- consciousness. She informed
the policeman that Cummings was hid
ing under the bed. A glance was suf
ficient to satisfy the officer of this fact,
and the next minute the ' brute was
sprawling in the middle of the floor.
After he had donned his clothes, the
officer escorted him to the Anda sta
tion, where he was confined for the
night. In the morning orders were
issued for his release."
"Orders were issued for his release."
How dees that come? It is became
they have McKinley imperialism over
there and are governed by "orders"
and not by law. A vote for McKinley
is a vote ,to continue that sort of Im
perialism. When the array is in
creased to the proper proportions we
may have some of it here at home.
