I the Filipinos would in Itself be ade-
quate protection. No country, with
tne exception of America and England,
has sufficient money for the task,
which, if viewed In the light of spec
ulation, would not be enticine. I be-
i lieve the danger Is very much exag-
gerated."
The British Imperialists are having
no better outlook In South Africa than
we In the Philippines. A London ca
blegram says: : "
Lord Roberts' headquarters Is still
obliged to remain In Pretoria because
it cannot be safely trusted to the rail
road to Capetown and the subjugation
of the republics is less complete than
when be entered Pretoria months ago.
Peril is lookinz un indefinitely. Vir-
I tually the entire British army in South
Africa, for which an enormous expense
has been incurred, now 'estimated at
$00,000,009. 13 In a demoralized condi
tion. Unrest In business, industrial
disorganization and the disaffection of
the Dutch and Uitlanders alike are
elements of the situation, taxing
statesmanship to the utmost and full
of u?ly possibilities for the immediate
future.
Both in South Africa and the Philip
pines the reports of the medical staff
gives grounds for very great fears.
Tha loEses by sickness and death are
very alarming. Colonel Greenleaf re
ports upon the health conditions in
the Philippines showing that in June,
15-00, out of a total of 63.2S4, there wem
5.5C3 sick. Regarding the mortality
of the army be says: "The number of
deaths in the army has steadily in
creased and a diminution of the death
rate can scarcely be expected. The
number of men shot from ambush by
small guerrilla bands now exceeds
those killed at any previous time, and
as time progresses and the men become
more and more debilitated by the
tropical service, more marked will be
come the ratio of deaths. For the six
months from January 31 to July 31,
1SO0, there died twenty-four officers
and 971 enlisted men, of whom four
oQcers and 204 enlisted men were
killed In action and three officers and
twenty-three enlisted men died of
wounds, the other deaths occurring
from various diseases. This is an av
erage of 4.7 dally."
The rigid enforcement of the cen
sorship prevented the people of the
United States from knowing any of
these facts before the election. In re
gard to the Philippines, the people had
to vote In the dark. It is probable that
by the time another presidential cam
paign comes around that the censor
ship will not be applied only to the
colonies. We will have the same
thing heie In the states
All the Washington correspondents
declare that the shape these bills will
take will be to Increase the standing
army to 100.000 men, some of them
saying that the bill will provide for
only 55,000. but to be Increased at the
pleasure of the president to 100,000.
That lie will of course do as soon a3
the bill becomes a law. ' -
The increase In the standing army
Is followed up by the navy report Just
submitted which demands a quadrup-
! ling of the forces in the navy, Ad
' miral Crowinshield declares that the
navy is short of officers and men ev
erywhere, and he asks that it be In
creased to four times the present num
ber. The large demands made upon

elsewhere in consequence of the im
perial policy just sanctioned ? at the
polls must be . met. The troubles in
China also add to the demands made
upon the navy and the most recent
reports Indicate that in the near fu
ture they will be much greater than at
present. - Congress will be called upon
to make very large appropriations for
the navy. The demands will be met.
The news from Washington Is to the
effect that the ways, and means com
mittee will .be' called together imme
diately to supply means for carrying
out the Imperial policy adopted on the
6th of Nbvember.' It Is announced that
the 31,opo volunteers now in the Phil
ippines will not, be started home until
Jaws have been passed that will fill
their places with new troops. All or
ders issued before the election for the
return of the troops have been coun
termanded. . Transports are being col
lected at San Francisco and other Pa
cific coast ports to convey a new body
of troops to the Philippine islands, so
as tq be ready as soon as congress
gives the authority for new enlist
ments, There will be no trouble in
pushing these bills through under the
Reed rules.
The, citizens of Lincoln met a very
disagreeable surprise day or two
after the election. When they went
to the meat-market to buy meat they
found that beef had raised a "cent a
pound. This, had a tendency to dam
pen the ardor of the republican pater
familias, Most of them were very
careful about . their purchases and
either took a cheaper grade than theyl
had been In the habit of buying or
bought less. Some of the republicans
even went so far as to call the atten
tion of the butchers to the fact that
the pries of cattle had fallen off and
declare that they could see no justice
in raising the price of meat. One man
in the crowd said: "Well, you voted
for trusts. : What are you kicking
about?" -
The Washington correspondents say
that a bill will be passed at the next
session- doubling the number of ap
pointments to the naval and military
academies. Tbe increase in the reg
ular army and ntvy makes such a
provision for officers absolutely nec
essary; - That will furnish a free'tml
verslty education and & life appoint
ment to several hundred young men,
whose father fought most gloriously
for Teddy and Mack -during the last
campaign.
According to the Associated . press
reports and special Washington corre
spondents the first bill to receive at
tention In the senate will be Hanna's
subsidy bill. It will be immediately
reported from the committee on com
merce and Senator Frye will leave the
chair jis president pro tern and make
a speech in favor of it. The republi
cans are going to drive this bill
through if possible and the president
will exercise his personal influence as
well as all the influence of his office to
put it through. It is said that the
democrats will make no factional op
position, , but take time enough to get
all the facts in connection with this
enornfous steal Into the Record. ".The
passage of thi3 bill will be the part of
the profits of I hi3 campaign that will
go to Hanna.
It Is announced that the Hay
Pauncefote treaty will be taken up at
the first executive sassion and will be
ratified without a doubt. That treaty
in effect, provides that the United
States shall tax the people of this
country to build the Nicaragua canal
and then gives to the country having
the largest navy the control of it. It
forbids the United States government
to build land fortifications or in any
way prepare for its defence in time of
war. The making of this treaty was
the chief ground for the claim that
McKinley and Hay had made a secret
alliance, with Great Britain. As soon
as the treaty is ratified appropriations
will be made to build the canal?
Cablegrams from Europe announce
that the press, there is generally de
claring that the re-election of McKin
ley is a formal declaration that the
Monroe doctrine has been abandoned.
One cablegram from Bremen says:
"The abandonment of the famous doc
trine is thought to have been fully in
ddrsed by the approval given by the
popular vote of an imperialistic pol
icy," The Wesser Zeitung says: "All
Is now clear sailing for Germany,
which, in pursuance of its own expan
sionist Ideals need not fear a'confict
with the United States." Which is
equivalent to . saying that the German
emperor can jump onto; any little
South American republic and annex it
whenever he pleases.
Secretary Long finds that the navy
will cost the country $87,172,630.76
during the fiscal year ending June 30,
1902. This sum is $22,041,714 in ex
cess of . the appropriations made by
congress for the support of the navy
during the present fiscal -year. The
estimates of the war department are
now being prepared and it is expected
that the cost of military and naval
services will roach the grand total of
$?15,000,000.
Formal contracts have been made
since the election between Carnegie,
the Bethlehem company and me sec
retary, pf the navy for 36,000 tons of
steel armor plate at $490 a ton. This
is the same kind of armor that. Car
negie sold to the Russian government
for $280 a ton. This is a gift of $16,
632.000 to these two companies, of
which Carnegio gets half, or $8,366,000.
That is his share of the profits of this
campaign with five or six times as
much to follow. Dig it out of the soil
and the mires. Forge it out in heated
furnaces and turn it over to him. That
is what the American people said must
be done by their votes and the com
mands of the people must be obeyed.
A negro of fine education, good mor

this colored man had 4,000 less votes
than the. republican candidates who
were. on tho same ticket w-th him, and

Some of the eastern newspapers are
drawing attention to the fact that the
proposition to Increase the regular
army to 55,000 and gtrei the president
the authority to. increase jt to J.0.0,00,0.,
in his discretion, is. conferring on the.
president, who has" now greater power
than any constitutional "monarch, a
power to double the' regular "army
whenever, 'he. sees. fit. There is but one
ruler in all the, world who has such
power and that is the Czar. Still they
continue to say that there fs nothing
in this charge of imperialism.
If the republicans succeed in get
ting control of the ' legislature by
throwing out the sixteen ballots from
South Omaha marked with- a black
pencil, still .it sees, that Thomp
son and Rosewater are not going to
have a happy time. It is positively de
clared that there are some republican
members of the legislature who will
never vote for either of them. As it
will take all the votes' of the republi
cans to elect, there Is liable to be a hot
time for several nights at the Capitol
next winter. It is already announced
that both Rosewater and Thompson
are making overtures to fusionists
similar to the famous deal that
Thompson tried the last time. State
ments to that effect h,ave appeared in
some of the Chicago dailies.
It seems that the Russians have
made a desert along the Amus river in
China and called it establishing peace.
The London Globe publishes a dis
patch from a correspondent from that
region under date of September 6 in
which he says: "The scenes I have
witnessed during the three days since
the steamer left Blagovetchensk are
horrible beyond the powers of descrip
tion. ; It Is the closing; tableau of -a
fearful human tragedy, ..Two thousand
Chinese .were deliberately drown at
Morxo, 2.000 at Rebe and 8,000 around
Blagbvetscherisk, : a total of 12,000
corpses, encumbering the river,
among which were thousands of wom
en, and children. Navigation was all
but impossible. Last week a boat had
to plough her way through a tangled
and mangled 'mass of corpses lashed
together by their long hair. The banks
were literally covered, with corpses. In
the curves of the stream were dark,
putrid, "smelling masses" of human
flesh- and -bone, surging and swaying
in th e steamer's wake. The captain
vainly ordered full speed ahead. The
sight and smell will be ever with us."
, That is the way the Christian na
tions are teaching the Chinese Chris
tianity and civilization. It is some
what after our manner of dealing with
the Filipinos, if - the Manila papers
from which The Independent has so
often - quoted, . tell . the truth. The
worst horror of this. thing is not the
dead Chinese or the dead Filipinos, but
the degeneracy in the United States
which is exemplified jn the protestant
pulpits where ministers every Sunday
advocate imperialism and urge on the
soldiery to 'acts of bloodshed. At the
head of these degenerates Is Dr. . Ly
man Abbott. " :
It is announced at Washington that
McKinley will recommend large pay

It is announced that the U. P. and
B. & M. railroads have - discharged
some thousands of men and reduced
the wages of others since the election.
Many around Lincoln have lost their
places. Thompson has no further ise
for them. If all are discharged who
were brought into this state to vote
the republican ticket it will run up to
something like 20,000. They say that
the cost of materials on the account
of the rise in steel and iron makes it
necessary to cut down expenses.
The departure of the secretary of
war for Havana upon the meeting of
the Cuban constitutional convention
has been the occasion of a good deal of
editorial writing in the eastern dailies.
He will try to induce the convention
to adopt a United States protectorate.
The proposition that he will submit
will be as follows:
Retaining United States troops In
the island for a term of years.
Giving the United States government
charge of the" islands' foreign rela
tions. . Establishing in Cuba military gov
ernment from the United States for
a time to be specified, with veto power
over legislation . passed by the . native
legislature.
How that will accord with the dec
laration of congress that Cuba is and
of right ought to be free and Indepen
dent, together with the declaration
that the United States interfered for
the sole purpose of pacifying the isl
ands after which we would withdraw
and leave the people to establish a
government of their - own, is one ot
those things that no pop can find out.
The eastern imperialist editors put
the matter in this way:
"As the United States Is responsible
for Cuba's good conduct in the family
of nations,. It was thought that no
great objection would be made by the
Cubans to the conduct of their foreign
relations by this government. As the
Cubans have no army, it was thought
they might not object strongly to the
retention of some United States troops
for a period. It is now hoped among
the president's official family that the
Cubans will not object to a military
governor who can act as a check upon
improvident and ruinous legislation."
Just when and how, or who drew
up the contract and signed it, making
the United States responsible for the
conduct of Cuba or any other foreign
nation, this writer does not say. How
a nation can "be free and Independent"
when its ports and stragetical posi
tions are held by the foreign soldiery
and its legislation is subject to the
vote of a foreign military governor, is
an inexplicable mystery to the " ordi
nary mind. How so distinguished men
as those who compose the "president's
official family" can hope that Cubans
will not object to a foreign military
governor, is another mystery. They
may have come to the conclusion that
if enough troops, . guns and batteries
are kept in the islands, that the Cu
bans will hot object not at present at
least.
One of the things that the republi
cans brag the most about as gathered
from their chief organs in the east is
the flop in Utah. They consider that
as one . of the great victories of the
campaign. They say: "Here Is one
silver producing state that has voted
for the gold standard." To us who
live out "west there was no surprise in
that flop after McKinley had approved

Attorney General Smyth Is In Oma
ha trying for the second time the case
against the Omaha National bank In
which Is involved that $200,000 of the
Bartley steal that disappeared by
transferring it from the account of the
state to the private account of Bartley.
Desperate efforts were .made for a con
tinuance, but Smyth fought it to a fin
ish and the trial has begun. No one
doubts- that if that money is ever re
funded to the state, it will have to be
done before the republican attorney
general gets into office. Smyth had a
mandate from the supreme court for
a new trial and he insisted on his
rights under, the mandate, although
Judge Baker was very much disgusted
at Smyth's persistency.
The very latest news from South
Africa is to the effect that a long and
fierce battle was fought in which the
Boers were at last defeated. The Boers
lost, so the English dispatches say, 23
killed and about 100 prisoners. The
British loss' in killed Mas about the
same. The main body of the Boers got
away with the loss of a few wagons.
In England, as in, this country during
the late campaign, - 'the ' imperialists
claimed that the Boers and the Fili

A PUZZELD DEMOCRAT
He Conldn'tSqatre tho Campaign With
tbe Facte and Got la Muddle
That He Conld not get
Ontof. .
Some of the democratic editors
found themselves in a most puzzling
position before the campaign was
over. One of them expressed his feel
ings after the following manner:
"A flood of new. gold has filled the
monetary channels of the world. Ev
ery argument the silver advocates ad
vanced in 1896 scarcity of money, ap
preciating currency, . business strin
gency has ceased to have any applica
tion to present conditions. Prices have
been rising instead "of falling. The
trusts have been practically reducing
the wages of the entire laboring pop
ulation by making the dollar buy less.
This is the most effective argument
advanced by the democracy for win
ning labor votes, and it Is under such
conditions that the democratic party
has been put in the ridiculous and od
ious position of trying to make the
dollar buy less still." -
If the democratic orators had not
been so afraid of "changing the issues"
during the campaign, they could have
marto tho whole matter verv elear'to
! the people. ' They should have said
from every stump and in every news

1896 and have adopted the policy ad
vocated by their opponents. They are
coining more silver and Issuing more
paper money than ever the populists
demanded. The volume of money is
being increased at a rapid rate. To
save their party from destruction th sy
have been forced to put our economic
theories into practice. We make no
complaint of that. But they have doae
another thing. They have organin'jd
the trusts In such a manner that capi
tal will, take all the benefit of the rise .
i nprices and labor.will be in a worse
condition than ever, before. The wafje
worker will get no advance in va?to.
but it will cost him more to live. It 13
a scheme to rob the producer just ;i3
the stoppage of the free coinage of sil
ver was. .We warn the people. We
protest.
- But not one word would these demo
cratic orators or newspapers say ou
that subject and let the goldbng news
papers go on telling the people that
the threat of the coinage of silver
overshadowed everything else, when
they were at the same time coining,
silver by the ton and running the
mints, as the director of the mint him
self saya in his annual report, night
and day to get it out. There never
was such an ill advised thing done in
a campaign since campaigns began.
