Tt tprizs election showed that the
democrats all ever the country arc in
rood fighting trim and working for U.
improvf-Rcnt cf local condition in the
tia when national issues are of ec
cdary importance.
The remit of the municipal elections
was a t erprtee to the republicans. They
hate teen coins along on a comfort
able thory that the democratic party
hai gone oat cf bujines since Bryan's
the democratic party is always
capable of putting the principle abOTe
the Individual. There are always prin
ciples to be fought for, no natter what
the fate of the individual standard
ly are r.
it is s of the most encouraging
Ixs of th time that the democratic
victories is municipal elections were
in nearly every case oa platforms
which called for municipal control of
public utilities such as waterworks,
heat and lighting plants and railways.
We are rapidly coming to the point
where the people will demand that the
municipality apply water, light and
local transportation for the public at
the lowest possible cost instead of giv
ing away veluabi franchises to pri
vate individuals for such purposes.
Ia hundreds cf cities and towns the
democrat are carrying on this agita
tion for municipal control and right
there U the germ cf a national victory
four years hence. The citizen who finds
that the democratic party is his local
champion against the franchise grab
bers is going to trust that party with
the management of national affairs.
The election of Tom L. Johnson as
mayor of Cleveland and the re-eiection
of Carter Harrison as mayor of Chica
go are two good illustrations of the
popular feeling about municipal con
trol of public utilities.
Johnson has teen for years a single
taaer and aa advocate of municipal
ownership of street railways. Some
rmarkt. reforms may be expected
usder i 1 management of the city of
Cleveland. j
Mayor llir?mn has always hea la
faror'of short time franchises to street j
railways and timilar corporations in
order that the people may often have :
aa opportunity to say whether they de
sire psMic or private control of such
functions. The campaign against Har
rison wsls practically oa this issue.
The result gives new life to the ru
mor that beta John33 and Harrison
are candt&at for the democratic nom
ination for the presidency in 1304. It
is a little early to con ider that matter
seriously, but both men are in a posi
tion to make good records and let the
lt man win.
Major Jones scored again in Toledo.
By the way. what a big vote the demo
crat can pile up in Hanna's state. The
fact is that the margin is so narrow
between the two parties that the demo
crat misht wia Ohio at any presi
dential election only the republicans
have the money and the corrupt ma
chine with which to count themselves
la fcy fake majorities.
Anyway the democratic outlook is
very encouraging. The real party
workers are ieavicg old dIfTerenc-s to
heal thenuteites and paying attention
to sound local issues and consequently
building up the local organization
which spoils victory ia the -neat presi
dential election.
The Associated pre managed to get
an uscn0nNi dispatch through from
the Philippines the other day. showing
that certain Chevaliers l'lndustrie,
othr:e quart ermasters and army
oarers. hd been pilfering from army
stores to the tune of about $lt0.000 a
month. Of course the war department
hastens to say that the nress dis
patches were incorrect and that the
shortage -souid easily be accounted for;
but the fact Is that such Incidents are
sly illustrations of the general rot
tenness that already prevails in the
management of iauiar affairs.
Not only are the natives to be
fieeced. but the stores and vessels and
equipment from this country, paid for
by our own people, are shamelessly
looted-
The administration depends upon a
fctrict reorhjp and the dUtance of
the Philippines to keep the people in
ignorance for the next fonr years at
any rate. At the end of that time the
country will be ready to turn It out of
pomer anyway and then the democrats
will be left to deal with the result of
republican extravagance and dishonest
adminlrt ration.
Fccstoa has been made brigadier
general and the administration or
gans are printing columns of fulsome
laudation of his exploit.
la reality the capture of Aguinaldo
merely aa incident and does not af
frt the principle which underly the
tepatiiran policy of imperialism to
ward the Philippines.
while the republicans are talk
ing about the exploit it might be well
to look at it from the side of decency
and hoao.
There is uch a thing as a code of
honor erta In warfare.
Mr. Grammoud Kennedy, an author
ity oa military and international law.
calls attention ia one of the Washing
ton papers, to the fact that Funiton
uved both perfidy and forgery la order
to entrap Aguinaldo and that his
methods are receiving very severe con
demnation from authorities on such
matter ia other countries.
Krmston ueed the forgery and trans
mission of two letters purporting to be
writtea t j General Lacuna to Aguin
aldo. Then he disguised the soldiers
who effected the capture.
Mr. Kennedy quotes half dozen In
ternational authorities on methods of
war showing that such devices are con
sidered so disgraceful that they can be
excused In no degree by the success
attending them.
But Funston is made a national hero
just the same.
UNCONQUERABLE BOERS
There Was bat Haadf ul Is the Beginning,
bat the Mere That ere Killexland Taken
to Prison the More There
re to Fight.
Judging by the reports of British
correspondents, the Boers are no more.
At the beginning of the war they were
a "mere handful." They "sufferc.
severely" before Ladysmith. Buller
slew them in hecatombs. Methuen's
march "cost the Boers heavily." They
lost "half their army" with Cronje. At
Mafeklng their thinning ranks were
rent by Baden-Powell's well-directed
shot. Their trail from Pretoria was
marked with blood. Often in guerilla
operations they have met British
forces, never without many of them
biting the dust. The other day in at
tacking LIchtenburg they "were badly
repulsed, "upward of seventy burgh
ers" being shot at one spot. 1 At Vaal
bank Delarey has just been defeated
and "many Boers were killed or
wounded."
Yet the remaining warriors who, if
there's anything in arithmetic, should
be by this time a minus quantity are
raiding more territory all the time.
LIchtenburg Is in the other direction
from the Zoutpansberg region into
which Roberts "drove the demoralized
Boers." Queenstown. 100 miles south
of Aliwal. as near Capetown as it is
to Pretoria, is tinder arms against an
expected raid.
Thus Great Britain, after expending
hundreds of millions in money and
wasting thousands of Hve3, has been
humbled into offering terms and an in
demnity and further humbled by hav
ing those terms rejected in warfar
with a foe that can be mathematically
demonstrated not to exist at all! Truly
a wonderful race whose very memory
can work such havoc!
In toe beginning the Boer census
showed that there were only 250,000
of them, all told, counting women and
(hlldren. A London newspaper man
has recently collated the official lists
of killed and wounded and taken pris
oner by the British forces, excluding
all rumors and taking only the reports
of the commanding generals. He finds
that these British generals officially
report that they have already rendered
hors du combat considerable more
than five hundred thousand able-bodied
Boers. This writer has the Im
pudence to insinuate that censored dis
patches from South Africa are unrelia
ble. A TRAMP MANUFACTORY
J. Plerpont Morgan' t Scheme Well
I'ndar wVjr It Is More Far Reach
ing Then the Steel Trust
Some of the eastern papers are giv
ing details of Morgan's next great en
terprise. It may be called a tramp
manufactory of huge proportions. It
will certainly turn out more tramps
than anything ever before invented in
that line. It is to be a coal trust. Ac
cording to the Philadelphia North Am
erican Mr. Morgan's plan contemplates
the following general propositions:
First The elimination of all small
coal dealers in every city of the state
and eventually throughout the coun
try. In Philadelphia alone 576 small
coal dealers will be forced out of busi
ness. Second The establishment of one
central coal station in each city from
which all coal will be supplied.
Third The elimination of 10 per
cent of the number of employes in the
anthracite coal mines and of the rail
roads carrying coal from them.
Fourth The elimination of railroad
competition. The anthracite territory
will be so apportioned that one road
will serve a given district.
Fifth The elimination cf many col
lieries. Only the best paying ones will
be kept In operation.
Sixth The reduction of clerical for
ces In mining and transportation of
fices. Seventh The total elimination of
tales agents.
When all the retail coal dealers, 10
per cent of the employes of the coal
railroads and anthracite mines, thou
sands of clerks and all the sale agents
are thrown out of employment and go
to counting ties, won't we have an era
of prosperity? When one hundred
thousand more men are thrown out of
work and tens of thousands of happy
families are broken up, won't the
world be made happier and better?
Ghengis Khan wrought no more ruin
nor caused no more suffering than this
man Morgan. The power of wealth is
greater than the power of an army.
But Morgan is a republican. He and
the president have been holding long
and secret conferences lately. No
doubt he got the presidential sanction
for the establishment of his tramp
manufactory.
The steel trust Is to be worked upon
the same plan. Tramps will soon be
gin to pour out of the great buildings
where busy men have provided for
wives and children. Carnegie libraries
will come In handy If the tramps are
allowed the use of them. There they
can indulge in the delights of litera
ture between their rounds for back
door hand-outs. But the women and
little children, what will become of

The Doings
Partner J. H. M. Dropped into the lap of a republi
can legislature redeeming Nebraska. Result Long
term in the United States Senate as a reward for nego
tiating the sale of state warrant for 1180,101.75, drawn
April 10, 1895.
How They Did It,
In 1894 the Capital National bank of
Lincoln (Mosher's bank) failed and tnc
state school fund lost $180,101.75 in
that failure. The legislature of ib95
in accordance with the constitution ap
propriated the same amount from the
general funds of the state to be trans
ferred to the school fund. The appro
priation was approved on the 10th of
April, 1895, and the state treasurer, J..
S. Bartley, secured the same day a
warrant for this amount from auditor
of public accounts, Eugene Moore.
The warrant reads as follows:
$180,101.75. No. 95241.
State of Nebraska.
Officer of Auditor of Public Accounts.

THE PORTO RIGANS
Taxed to Death by McKlnley's Carpet
Baggers They are Fleeing From the
Country by the Thousand
A correspondent at San Juan, Porto
Rico, in a special to the Cincinnati
Enquirer, says:
I was here before the war with
Spain and most of the time since and
must admit that, while sanitary and
otner reforms have been worked out
and other beneficent reforms project
ed, unavoidable disasters and inexpe
rienced administration have caused
the material condition of the people
to be worse now than under Spanish
rule. In a number of districts the
people are actually starving. There is
no work; the planters have no money
to undertake cultivation. The banks
will not lend them a small amount.
"Stories are told of the immense op
portunities for capitalists, but some
way they do not seem to come here.
The municipalities have no funds and
have failed in attempts to borrow the
necessary money to conduct affairs or
undertake improvements. The markets
are paralyzed. The warehouses are
full of tobacco and there is no sale for
coffee. The people are denied citizen
ship and are left like prisoners on the
island to starve. These things appeal
to the people more than implanting
schools and other reforms. Utterly
heart-sick the people gather at the
wharves, gaze out on tin water and
beg of shipowners to take them any
where. -
"Thousands are going to Hawaii,
Cuba, San Domingo, Ecuador, and
other islands. Agents are picking up
skilled young men and women. The
local press urges the government to
take action at once to stop the exo
dus. The emigration to Ecuador has
been practically stopped because of the
Ill-treatment' received by those who
have sought refuge there. . Shipload
of Destiny Redeeming
Bartley, state treasurer, Lincoln, Neb."
The warrant is further Indorsed as
follows: "J. S. BARTLEY.
J, H. . ILLARD, Pt."
The legislative appropriation men
tioned in the abovo warrant is con
tained in session lavs of 1895, page 386,
chapter 88, and provided: "'For state
sinking fund,, one hundred eighty thou
sand and one hundred and one and
75-100 ($180,101.75) dollars, to reim
burse said fund for same amount tied
up in Capital National bank."
The wording of s appropriation
makes it clear that it was Bartley's
duty only to transfer this account from
one fund to the other. The whole
transaction ought to fc .ve appeared in
the books of the state treasurer onlr.
Instead Bartley took the warrant and
sold it to the cnemica. National bank
of New York.
The supreme court in its decision in
the case, of the State vs. Omaha Na
tional Bank says: "For some time
Millard had possession of the warrant
and indorsed it as president of the
bank." It is not clear when Millard
took possession of the warrant, but is
presumed that the Chemical National
bank would not have bought it with
out the indorsement of its Nebraska
correspondent.
In October or November, 1896, the
Chemical National bank sent this war
rant to the Omaha National bank, J.
H. Millard, president, for collection.
On January 2, 1897, Bartley, as state
treasurer, in payment of said warrant
drew a check upon the funds of the
state on deposit in the Omaha National
bank. The check was made payable
after shipload the people are leaving
for other places.
"As a result of the trip of the Porto
Rico commission at Washington, own
ers have been allowed to place their
own valuation on property, and the
bill has been otherwise modified and
less opposition is now made. The peo
ple object to continuing the payment
of 15 per cent of the Dingley tariff."
The Associated press does not send
out t-ny news like that. If any paper
gets anything like the truth it must
come by mail or in a special dispatch.
The following Is the way the Asso
ciated press talks:
"Governor Allen said the taxation
under the Hollander law was lower
than in any of the states of this coun
try. " 'The administration of the island,'
continues the governor, 'has in all re
spects desired the co-operation of those
who aspire to insular office that they
shoula be loyal to the American gov
ernment and that fitness for office with
such loyalty should be the fundamen
tal indorsement rather , than of some
political leader. Some disturbances
have occurred in the United States.
Hooting and howling crowds on the
streets, a few stones thrown, some rat
tling sticks along the palings, have
been sufficient to occasion sensational
cables to the north, which, though
promptly denied, have been circulated
to the discredit of the island.
" I understand that several thou
sand people have been employed by
agents to leave Porto Rico for Hawaii,
some few for Cuba and a few more be
ing engaged to work In Ecuador. But
compared with a million people the
percentage of emigration is so small as
not to be worth consideration. If these
people can benefit their positions by
emigrating they should be permitted
to emigrate, care being taken to see
that they are not led away by misrep
resentation or against their will." '
That declaration of Governor Allen,
who is on a visit to the United States,
that taxation is lower in Porto Rico
Nebraska.
Partner J. S. B. Fell into the hands of a fusion
attorney general. Result Twenty years in the peniten
tiary for embezzling state funds through the sale of
state warrant for $180,101.75, drawn April 10, 1095.
"To the order of J. H. Millard, Pt."
and called for the amount of $201,
884.05. The check was delivered to the
payee who surrendered the warrant to
Bartley. The state's 'money to the
amount named was turned over to the
Chemical National bank of New York
and the Exchange bank of Atkinson.
The Chemical National bank asked
only the collection of $180,101.75 and 6
per cent interest from April 10, 1895.
Bartley's check covered the amount of
the warrant and interest at 7 per cent.
The Omaha National bank, J. H. Mil
lard, president, handed over to the
New York bank the 6 per cent and
something over $3,000, being interest
at the rate of 1 per cent, to the At
kinson bank.
Attorney General Smyth brought
suit against the Omaha National bank
to recover the money which the bank
had transferred illegally from the state
funds to Bartley's personal account
and Judge Baker, a republican judge,
ordered the jury to bring in a verdict
for the heavenly twin. The case is still
pending in the courts.
At the criminal trial against Bartley
which ended in Bartley's conviction
and sentence to twenty years' impris
onment, Millard as witness testified
that he had indorsed the warrant with
out reading the same. A little matter
like a warrant for $180,000 is of course
too small a thing for an Omaha bank
president to pay any attention to. The
end of this tale is that Bartley was
sent to the penitentiary for twenty
years and Millard was elected by a re
publican legislature to the United
States senate.
than in the United States needs a little
explanation. The readers of The In
dependent will remember the article
that was printed in this paper some
time ago, giving the list of officers and
their enormous salaries that the re
publican congress had provided for
Porto Rico. That little island has an
area of only 3,600 square miles and a
population of less than a million, but
the government provided for is more
costly than many of the larger states
in the union. When Governor Allen
says that taxation is less than in any
state in the union, he should not be
surprised if some man called him a
liar, for the thing is utterly false on
the very face of it.
The Independent pointed out what
would be the fate of the Porto Ricans
when this "insular government" was
promulgated. Nothing but the greatest
distress could result from it. The
president's "plain duty" as revised and
corrected by the trusts, seems to be
skinning them both going and coming.
Heavy direct taxation and a tariff that
destroys their trade in the products
of their farms. No wonder that the
inhabitants are fleeing from a carpet
bag governed country like that.
THE ASPHALT WAR
The Trust Is Publishing Hostilities by the
Aid of the Associated Press Lively
Times Ahead
Some weeks ago The Independent
gave a history of the beginning of
hostilities by the Asphalt trust on the
republic of Veneuekt. Now McKin
ley has recalled out minister and
broken off diplomatic relations. That
is what it is, although the state de
partment gives out that Minister
Loomis is only coming home on a va
cation. First McKinley tried to bluff
the little republic, but the bluff didn't
wfh out. A squadron of the United
States navy was sent there, practically
under the command of of the attorney
of the trust, who was taken on board
contrary to all the rules and regula
tions of the navy. When the bluff
failed the state department immediate
ly sent some drastic instructions to
Minister Loomis in Caracas. These In
structions Loomis carried out to the
letter. This precipitated the present
trouble in Venezuela.
Meanwhile, it is said by excellent
authority that each of the entire diplo
matic corps in Caracas is posting his
government daily regarding the state
of affairs.
Then the Asphalt trust called upon
the Associated press to help it manu
facture some public opinion in the
United States and an article was writ
ten up charging the government of
Venezuela with all sorts of crimes and
misdemeanors, from robbery to whole
sale murder and torture of innocent
victims who refused to give up their
money.
Scnor Augusto Pulido, charge d'af
faires of the Venezuelan legation at
Washington, examined the article with
considerable attention. He said: "I
believe this article to be greatly exag
gerated. During the troubled months
when the whole country wras in a state
of siege, extraordinary measures were
necessary to preserve any semblance
of order.' If these' things, did occur, it
was long ago and much less harrowing
than portrayed by your correspon
dent." Gonzales Esteves, the consul of Ven
ezuela at the post of New York, re
fused to discuss the contents of the ar
ticle, saying there was no truth in it.
Minister Loomis will arrive in
Washington some time - during the
week. Many of the trust's big men
men that contributed to the McKinley
corruption fund are already in Wash
ington awaiting his arrival. The toc
sin of war will soon sound. The As
phalt war will be on. Hurrah for As
phalt! My country, right or wrong!
THE SCOURGE OF THE WORLD
The People Die Under Imperialism in In
dia and Flee by Thousands From It
in Porto Rico
The depopulation of India through
famine and cholera Is assuming
alarming proportions. The latest ad
vices from Simla say that the census
returns of the central provinces show
a decrease of over 1,000,000 since 1891,
when, under normal conditions, an In
crease of 1,500,000 might have been
expected. It is expected that 5,000,000
have died in India since 1896 from
causes directly due to the famine. In
western India things are even worse.
The Coudeypoor state returns show a
decrease of 84,000, or 45 per cent of
the population. The state ofBhopaul
show-s a decrease of 808,000; the district
of Banda shows a decrease of 124,000,
and so on. . In Bombay the city popula
tion has decreased by 50,000.
While the whole world was sending
money to India to relieve the distress
of the starving millions, the govern
ment was collecting in taxes enough to
produce a surplus of large proportions
in the government treasury. The show
ing may speak well for" the financial
management of affairs, but it is a sad
commentary on their humanity.
The curse of God rests upon South
Africa today where a desperate at
tempt to spread imperialism is occupy
ing all the energies of the British gov
ernment. The bubonic plague is de
vastating Cape Colony and from the
latest reports it seems that it is be
yond all quarantine control. The
Orange Free State and the Transvaal
republic were inhabited by a prosper
ous people and constantly increasing
in population until imperialism laid
its blighting hand on the country.
Population decreases in India, in South
Africa, in Porto Rico, in the Philip
pines and in China. In fact every
where, in all parts of the world where
imperialism rules. From the days of
the Greek and Roman republics, deso
lation and death has marked the prog
ress of imperialism. The laws of God
and nature are unchangeable and the
same results will follow in the 20th
century that have marked all the ages
of the past. The villain of the ages
reigns at Washington and death and
depopulation follows his rule the same
as it has the rule of all such men in
the past. There could be no other re
sult. A Dirty Trick
It is a low-down, dirty trick for this
generation to attempt to load the next
generation with 4ebts, Interest and
obligations of any sort, and we hope
our posterity will have spunk enough
to throw the whole contemptible busi
ness into the ditch. Pittsburg Kansas.
Army Chaplains
McKinley has pie for all, ; including
his church supporters. The only trou
ble is that there is not enough to go
around, and preachers scramble for
their share like all the rest. More
than 500 applications for chaplaincies
in the army have been already filed
with the president. The army reor
ganization bill provided for twenty
three additional chaplains. The pay
and rank were fixed at that given a
captain of Infantry, together with the
usual extras and allowances, of about
$2,000 a year. While the position of
post chaplain was abolished,; each reg
iment of cavalry and infantry is to
have a spiritual adviser, and the artil
lery crops is to have twelve. Nearly
every denomination is represented in
the list of applicants. Two dozen ne
gro clergymen are among the-number.
Only twenty-three places and al
ready 500 applicants. The preaching
business seems to be as much over
stocked as any of the professions.

REPUBLICAN APPROPRIATIONS
They Get Away With, Nearly Two Hun
dred Thousand More Money Than
Any Legislature That Pre

A compilation of the appropriation
bills passed by the last legislature
shows a tdtal appropriation of $2,789,
590.01 for the biennium, or $187,334.43
more than was appropriated by the
former legislature. Nearly all of the
state institutions were given an in
creased amount owning to the claim
that the number of inmates demanded
greater appropriations, except the state
university, in which there has been
the greatest increase of any institution
in the state since the populists got con
trol of it. In that institution, be
cause it was under fusion control, Diet
rich knocked off $90,500. He played
the same sort of a game with the Peru
normal school which is under the con
trol of a board not of his appointing.
Nearly a million is appropriated for
salaries of state officers and employes.
