"When your day's work leaves you weary and exhausted; when you are so nervous, irritable and sleepless that your nights are passed in restless tossing; -when you get up In the morning with no appe tite for breakfast, and go around all day with a headache; you may be sure your nervous strength is being used up faster than it is being renewed. Gives the tortured nerves a rest, helps them regain their tone and steadiness, and is a speedy remedy for nervous troubles of every kind.

One week has gone out of McKin ley's last four years of rule and ruin. The ship subsidy and all on top went down at least for a time. Thank for tune, one pure republican measure failed. It now looks as though five or six big standing armies will remain in China to feed upon the heathen Chi nee. No people on earth ever stayed at home and minded their own busi ness better than the Chinese have. Wish they had the power to be as mean with other nations as they are treated. The river and harbor big steal seems to have got a black eye the last of the session. If the states that have no harbors could have their share of money to put Into public Improve ments it would be more just. The Nicaragua canal is a dead letter. The millionaire railroad men rule the present administration In that mat ter. The carnl would knock the teeth out of many railroad monopolies. Farmers have reason to rejoice over the condition of the winter wheat crop now on the ground. General Dewet and Agulnaldd are doing just as Washington did all through the seven year revolutionary war. A small army cannot whip a large one in an open field fight. If a man or woman desires to grow old test they want to curl up and act old; if they want to retain their pow ers of mind and body they must-act young. Keep on thinking and working. The district school house where we first attended school and first grad uated and then taught waa built of brick, stood on one of four corners with dense woods on three of the cor ners. Just below stood a wild cherry tree on which we used to swing and from which we feasted upon cherries in their season. Still further down was the old hill down which we coasted in the winter and still below was the old marsh on which we skated. Over the other way was the old tam arack swamp where we gathered gum and winter greens In early spring. The games we played were fox and geese with kernals of corn and a bean, twelve men more is with corn of differ ent color and checkers. Then we used to gamble with pins. Heads you win heads and points I win. We used to cheat by putting a head on each end of the pin or take off the head and sharp en both ends. Pin heads were mov able then. Spelling schools and spelling-down and then going home with the girls was no unpleasant part of our schooling. But three of our class are now living. The colored people of the south have held a meeting and have determined to test the laws and constitution of those states that abridge the right of suf frage. The case is to be brought be fore the United States supreme court. They will probably" get another Dred Scott decision. Our governor did a wise thing to veto the Peru normal appropriation. If the students there want physical exercia let them go Into the corn fields and work and not ask for a seventy-five thousand play house.

In New York all corporate property is to be taxed for stale, county and city purposes ac cording to value of stock the same as houses and farms. Nearly the same thing has been done in Michigan. Now Wyoming has repealed all laws li censing gambling and prohibits it un der heavy penalties. In Minnesota they only tax the ore taken out, two or three cents a ton, while the beds of ore are worth millions as they lay in the ground. Senator Thurston covers up his dis appointment as well as a man could under such great Indifference. If pops, democrats, silver republicans and Han na republicans had all demanded his re-election it would have pleased him well, but to have them all turn a cold shoulder it must grieve him much. To have a hired man turn and fight his employer and draw pay from both sides cannot be swallowed with much relish. Better have Thompson or no body. 1 The English soldiers are just as in human and mean in Africa as they are in China. Raping the women and girls, looting the homes, burning houses and leaving the sick, decripit and old to starve. They have learned of the Span ish general how to starve, subdue and murder Inside a wire fence. We would like to get the opinion of honest men and women of China whether our sol diers are any better toward them than the English or German. We can't de pend upon ' the stories that come through our generals or our mis sionaires. Common sense is made up of intel ligence, judgment and reason. An idiot or Ignoramus is not supposed to possess common sense. School learn ing alone is not sufficient. A contact practical knowledge of things is nec essary. Books, newspapers, speeches and lectures are indispensible. An at tendance upon public and social gath erings, caravans and circuses supply a need. Visiting the world's curiosities and wonders when possible such as waterfalls, high banks, mountains and caves is not time lost. The more a person knows the more intelligent he Is. Judgment is mainly comparative value of things and actions. Using the wrong material, the wrong words and actions constitutes poor judgment. An estimate of the comparative cost and value of things is the backbone of good judgment. Reason is not whim or superstition. Friday is not an unlucky day nor is thirteen an unlucky num ber. Whims displace reason. The moon over your left shoulder is off the same piece. Reason must take the place of all such nonsense. Common sense is one of the best business quali ties a person can possess. IN A NEW PLACE The Rankest Populism la Announced and Defended by Preaidant II ad lay of Yale Week before last populism captured the city of London and last week it broke out in a most violent form at Boston. Where it will appear next, sweeping everything before it, it is hard to say. Populism was never couched in more extreme words or pro claimed in more excited tone than by President Hadley in the most aristo cratic church in Boston. "We shall have an emperor in Wash ington within twenty-five years unless we can create a public sentiment which, regardless of legislation, will regulate trusts." With that sentiment President Had ley of Yale university on a Sunday night started a congregation largely made up of the -richest church society in New England at the Old South Church of Boston, Mass. He said in part: "Trusts have got to be regulated by public sentiment, and that public sentiment is not mere ly the opinion of any particular part of the whole people, but Is a readiness to accept, in behalf of the community, restrictions independent of the ques tion whether you or I shall be person ally harmed by those restrictions. "You say the community will not be governed by this principle. We must expect that the community will, how ever, for the alternative is an emperor in Washington within twenty-five years. Public affairs can no longer be played as a game, but must be di rected by an intelligent and active public conscience. Individual effort is helpless and hopeless." "This is the opportunity of the church, hungry for something to do. Its function as a disseminator of In formation has been appropriated large ly by the press. "The church has thi sympathy of the best men and must proceed to make Christianity and patriotism synony mous and both synonymous . of the world's progress. "The public conscience must be awakened as 1900 , years ago Christ awakened it, and it can be done if we continue to preach the gospel which He preached. "How do things stand as regards the need of a public conscience in this country today? The American stand ard of - personal morality is, on the whole, high as . compared with other nations and ages. We have developed personal -virtues through individual conscience very well. But our actions in politics and the social and business sense prove our. moral standards in these directions desperately low. "There is an appalling contrast be tween our , methods of dealing with each other as individuals and the low standard observed in dealings between different parts of the whole organiza tion of society. "Competition used to prevent a man from practicing extortion upon his neighbors even if he wanted to, and in politics we once had at least a rough form of relative justice. "But, today, with our industries or ganized into trusts and the imperial istic spirit developing in politics, the general development of the principle of trusteeships will become appalling un less we cultivate a higher standard of morality than ever before. "The essence of a trust is that you must trust the head of it to exercise his power wisely or to abuse it, ac cording to the kind of . conscience he possesses." The old readers of The Independent will notice that those are the very same ideas that have been declared in this paper for the last five years. We have said that the empire was coming. We have tried to reanimate an apos tate church, we have declared that the morals of political leaders were desperately low, we have warned agairifet the absolute power of the trusts, and during all that time we have been denounced by the college men as an anarchist and" a disturber, while the leader that we had supported came near being mobbed right in the shadow of Yale. Now comes the presi dent of that institution and talks more radical populism than ever appeared in these columns. Will President Had ley be denounced as an anarchist, so cialist and disturber by the P Street Idiot? Will Bixby declare that as long as the world endures that Hadley will find something to kick at? It seems that populism is getting highly respectable these days. A DISGUSTED MINISTER ' Pastor of a Rich Church, Ha Finds Nothing In Common With the Teachings of Jesus, and Resigns. The Independent has always said that reformers would arise in the church and redeem it from its apos tacy. Many signs now indicate that these reformers are near at hand. Ev ery week the dispatches tell of some dissatisfied minister who revolts at the forms and hypocrisy of the wealthy churches. The establishment . of col lege settlements in all the great cities is an indication that if the ministers will not do the ,, work - of the church, there are laymen who will. Last Sun day there was a very great sensation in one of the wealthiest churches in Denver when the Rev. Robert F. Coyle, pastor of the Central Presbyterian church, resigned from his pulpit. The great congregation sat spellbound with surprise.- Not a trustee, an elder, nor a deacon was prepared for the occa sion. The brief reasons given by their pastor cut like a blizzard into the feel ings of many of the most influential members of his church, for without re serve, he spoke plainly his sincere con victions, and, as a fashionable and in fluential church, the members were not accustomed to hearing their world ly inclinations treated with such frankness. A pin falling would have echoed like a whisper in the halls of death, so potent was the effect of Dr. Coyle's words to his people, over whom he has administered only since October. He said he found in that time that the task is not the one attuned to his ideals of what a Christian life should be. Dr. Coyle said he could not smile upon many of the iniquities of the fashionable life. Wine suppers given by members of his church he would not tolerate. The sound of rustling silk down the aisles of his church on Sunday morning might represent the kind of cash basis to carry on a big church with the pomp and splendor that would dazzle the eye, but it was no lure to him. Vanity of vanities it seemed to him, and an awful vision of a withered soul sprung up in the very sound of it all. Dr. Coyle refused to be housed in an expensive parsonage, preach beauti ful, poetical sermons on a Sunday, make fashionable calls through the week and overlook all this poverty of service for the betterment of mankind, just for the sake of being paid a good salary and the accompanying "flesh pots." Not only does he refuse to do it. but he told his people so and at the same time handed in his resignation to take effect on June 1. Since Dr. Coyle went to Denver in October he has found his way down among the laboring classes of the city. He discovered that the laboring men and women did not come to church, and he investigated the reasons. He found that many of his church mem bers were cold to the thought of draw ing in this class of people and drew For alx Tears I vra a. vtelim ordra. pepsla in Its worst form.

Dr. Coyle Is said to give one-tenth of every dollar he earns to the poor. He believes that the tithe system laid down in the Bible is a command and he lives up to it. The cold storage Idea of Christianity as practiced by some of his people is an atmosphere he will not even seem to approve. For that reason Dr. Coyle will leave Den ver and take up his work where the seed he believes in planting has a bet ter chance for life and growth. Cowboy Telephones In the southwest, among the great cattle ranches of the Llano Estacado or staked plains, ; of western Texas where acres are numbered by the nun dred thousand; cattle by the ten thou sand and human beings by units," the ranch owners have recently estab lished a unique telephone system by. which they can communicate with each other by day and by night, retail the small bits of news that come within their horizon, borrow supplies, and generally keep within touch of one an other. For a radius of seventy-five miles from the little town of Midland on the Texas & Pacific railroad, the ranchmen talk with each other over the long stretches of barbed-wire fences. Midland has a local telephone service, and to Its wires are connected the wires that partition off the various pastures of the hundred and odd big cattle ranches. Wherever gates occur the circuit is completed by overhead wires. The system works perfectly, and gives boundless satisfaction to its patrons. Occasionally "northers" or other high winds for which the Lone Star 3tate is famous, break down the fences; and the wires are also, fre quently broken by cattle and wild ani mals. Such breaks are easily traced and remedied by the cowboys. When one considers the scarcity of popula tion on these vast plains the entire county of Andrews is said to contain less than fifty persons the great dis tance between habitations, and the en tire absence of postoffices, telegraph lines, railroads and even stage-coach es, it will .readily be seen what the barbed-wire-fence telephone does to promote social intercourse amidst the almost primitive environment of life on the prairies.

An Old Worker Editor Independent: I must say that I am getting somewhat discouraged It seems to me that us old-timers who have been in the fight since 1876 are being relegated to the rear to let a few bums run the campaigns.' I was one of the first to talk reform in Butler county in 1876 and I stayed with them for eight years, as C. D. Casper of the David City Press and Mr. Wolfenbai ger will affrm. I helped organize the first farmers' alliance in Butler county in 1883. You know how Butler county now stands, In 1884 I came to Dawes county. 1 was the first one here to advocate the principles of the populist party and was made an honorary member of the farmers' alliance. I spoke several times to them and began to explain the principles of the party. From that time on we began to gain until we got control of the county. Then the re publicans began to turn their money loose and we found we had traitors among us. Through these hirelings we lost the county. Last fall in the Bryan club at Crawford, the president and vice president, I am satisfied, worked against us. I was a fusionist. Now I don t know what I am. If the pops still live I am one of them. If not, I don't know. T. G. WRIGHT. Ft. Robinson, Neb. (The pops still live, Brother Wright. In the new alignment of parties that will take place in the near future the populists will have the deciding voice. That comes from the fact that pop ulists are independent voters and can not be controlled either by money, bosses or organizations. Ed. Ind.) A Libel on Nebraska Having noticed the following state ment concerning the cost of tuition at the Nebraska university going the rounds of the republican press, the editor of The Independent cut it out and sent It to the university authori ties. The statement and the reply of the chancellor are here printed. "The Wayne Republican strikes the nail squarely on the head in the fol- owing statement of fact: The tuition of each student in our state university costs the state of Nebraska over $1,200 per year. The N entire expenses of an economical student, including tuition, board, books, clothing, lights and fuel at Harvard, one of the greatest uni versities in the world, is much less than it costs the state of Nebraska for tuition alone. The university of Ne braska is one of the many illustrations of the lack of economy practiced in the management of institutions supported by taxation, where an opportunity, under the cloak of a good cause is af forded to recklessly squander money by men who care naught for the inter; ests of the persons from whom the money is wrung." The University of Nebraska, Lincoln, March 8, 1901. Editor Independent. Sir: The statement in the clipping to which you call my attention, that "the tuition of each student in our state university costs the state of Nebraska $1,200 a year" is absolutely false. The per capita cost of the university stu dents to the state per year is at present eighty-seven dollars and twenty-nine cents ($87.29), and it is very much less than that at any other state univer sity known to me. See page 44 of the regents last report. On page 45 of same report the method of getting at the above figures is set forth. Any pa per wishing a copy of this report can obtain it by sending to my office. Yours, E. BEN J. ANDREWS, Chancellor.

The senate of the fifty-seventh con gress consists of eighty-seven mem bers, there being two vacancies in Delaware and one in Nebraska. Of the fourteen new senators who have been or will be sworn in, no less than five Blackburn of Kentucky, Clark of Montana, Dubois of Idaho, McLaurin of Mississippi, and Mitchell of Oregon have been previously members of the senate. Three sena tors Bailey of Texas, Carmack of Tennessee, and Gamble of South Da kotahave stepped" from the lower house, tnu the other six Burnham of New Hampshire, Burton of Kansas, Foster of Louisiana; Patterson of Colo rado, Simmons of North Carolina and Gibson of Montana are new to public life in Washington. At the first ses sion all of these new senators were remembered with handsome floral tri butes. An enormous basket of flowers gruced the des,k of Mr. Patterson, and Mr. Blackburn's familiar face was hid den behind a towering bouquet of Am erican Beauty roses. Mr. Dubois, Mr. Bailey, Mr Caimack .and Mr bini- mons were generously remembered, while Mr. Clark not only received more ffowers than he could conven iently place upon and around hi3 desk, but was also the recpient of cordial greetings from his former associates. According to the present program, the committees were not reorganized at the extra session, so that no deci sion was reached. It was noticeable that the democratic conference was at tended by Senators Patterson, Dubois, Harris, Turner and Heltfeld, all of whom have hitherto acted with either the sliver republicans or the populists.

The law that will re-establish polygamy in Utah and which recently passed the republican legislature of that state reads as fol lows: - "Every person who has reason to be lieve that a crime or public offense has been committed, may make complaint against such person before some mag istrate ! having authority to make in quiry of same; provided that no prose cution for adultery shall be com menced except on complaint of the husband or wife or relative of the ac cused within the first degree of con sanguinity, or of the person with whom the unlawful act is alleged to have been committed, or of the father or mother of said person, and no pros ecution for unlawful cohabitation shall be commenced except on complaint of the wife or alleged plural wife of the accused; but this proviso shall not ap ply to prosecutions under section 4208 of the revised statutes, 1898, defining and punishing polygamous marriages." When polygemous husbands, wives or near relations take to instituting prosecutions of polygamists in Utah, it will be when the Mormons change their religious beliefs. The McKinley contract with the Mormons has been carried out to ihe letter.
