The Bee In dlw:-ain Morton's Idea
cf a new party want to know: "What
fjod it can t"ect that cannot be bet
ter f-rcrapliahed through the repub
lican party 7 That Is a pertinent
c,-j-tion. Morton's new party is to
alvocate everything that the repub
licans advocate, and sure enough, why
net co It through the republican party?
The republicans laud Cleveland to
th side when he says let us "go
tark" ta the old principles, and they
denounce Till nan with bitterness and
Tit'-pentioa as "a blauct advocate of
retrcgreicn." What Is the difference
it ! between "golns backward" and "retro
gression?" Or in other words, what
Is the difference between a democratic
republican and a republican repub
lican? can anybody tell?
After cogitating over the matter for
a long time, consulting three eminent
ministers, one jud&e and three lawyers,
The Independent "Las come, to .the con
clusion that to give Clem Deaver all
the pie and Joe Johnson none, when
Joe furnished all the brains for the
"True Populist, was not a fair deal
and it is believed that every populist
in the state will commend that con
clusion. Suppose that the supreme court had
handed down a decision before the war
with Spain to the effect that the terri
tories were not protected by the con
stitution and the people living, there
were subjects of the United States,
what would have happened? But the
constitution was the same before the
war that it Is now. As Mr. Dooley
says, the supreme court follows the
elections whether the constitution fol
lows the flag or not.
It is said that the speech of Booker
T. Washington before the Alabama
constitutional convention was so
statesmanlike, so honeEt, so eloquent
and logical that it captured the south
ern men who composed it, There will
be no "grandfather clause" In the new
constitution. All men will be treated
alike without regard to race, color or
previous condition of servitude. This
Is the work of the southern democrats
themselves. Republican papers have
no comments to make and hardly any
of then can find space to give even the
bare facts.
"h "'ii " tib r i J Jm -'--rmm 4T m
Will Mr. Rosewater please announce
in the Bee that Clem Deaver has been
paid in full for his services to the re
publican party by Mr. McKlnley in giv
ing Deaver a $3,000 office with very lit
tle to do. That is an item of news that
the Bee editor should, not suppress.
Some of the eastern daily papers and
preachers are howling fearfully over
the fact that Chinese girls are sold in
San Francisco. The preachers per
form the services when American girls
are sold to impecunious, broken-down,
aristocratic rogues from Europe and
the papers give' them pages of illustra
tions and reading matter all gauged up
to the highest point of artistic flattery.
Which practice is the most disgusting?
They made all the Filipinos, includ
ing Aguinaldo,' swear to support the
constitution. The question now is how
can they perform- their sworn auty?
The supreme court says that the con
stitution does not extend to the Fili
pinos and the government won't let
the Filipinos come here where they
can support the constitution. No won
der that that English writer thought
that the supreme court nad thrown
everything into confusion.
Up to this writing the veteran jour
nalist, Edward Rosewater, has stud
iously avoided telling the public what
he thinks of that 1901 railroad assess
ment. His "staff correspondent" gar
bled the facts when they first became
public, and Mr. Rosewater seems retic
ent about acknowledging that the re
publican board in 1901 made a reduc
tion of about $44,000 in the assess
ment of the' same property which the
populist board assessed in 1900.
The average Condition of winter
wheat as reported by the agricultural
department on the first of June was
87.8 and spring wheat 93.6. There does
not seem to be any serious prospect
of "over-production" of wheat. If
Phillips will only get up a wheat cor
ner and run it from about the first
of October to the first of January, the
farmers will all be very much obliged
to him. But he won't do anything of
the kind. He'll wait until the farmers
have had to sell all their wheat.
Treasurer Stuefer has been in charge
cf the state treasury now for more
than six months, yet during all that
time the Omaha Bee has never even
once asked him, on behalf of the peo
ple, to divulge the whereabouts of that
ever-increasing balance of idle school
.money. This is unfair to Mr. Stuefer.
During Treasurer Meserve s term the
Bee Implored him at least as often as
once a month to please 'fess up and
tell where he kept it and Meserve
"sawed wood" and made a record as
treasurer that we are all proud of.
The republican papers are at last
calling attention to the fact that there
is a larger circulation per capita than
ever before in the history of the coun
try. That is true, if we eliminate from
the circulation all the interest-bear
ing bonds and notes of various sorts
that were put out during the war and
which were used as money for some
time. It is now in order for the R
Street Idiot to republish some of his
remarks made two or three years ago
about "the per capita."
The republican board of public lands
and buildings deserves praise for the
neatly kept capitol grounds. In their
endeavors to avoid making the extrav
agant expenditures which marked
former republican administrations, the
fusionists went too much to the other
extreme, counting as economy what
was really parsimony. There is a
happy medium and if the present ad
ministration could eliminate the Joe
Burns well, its expenditures in caring
for the capitol grounds would be con
sidered about right
The Globe-Democrat of St. Louis is
an acknowledged organ of the repub
lican party and here is some of the
doctrines that it is defending: "The
Declaration of Independence is a lie
on the face of it, and the men who for
mulated it lied and knew that they lied
In its formation." The editor who
talks that way is a "big American
and those who say that the men .who
formulated the Declaration, of Inde
pendence were statesmen and honest
are "Little Americans." Which would
you rather be?

Republican papers delight in calling
attention to the fact that the Dred
Scott decision held, that the constitu
tion follows' the flag! that slavery was
recognized by the constitution; hence
legislation trohibiting slavery in any
part of the Im'ted States was uncon
siitutional, and then they tell bow the
people arose and by force of arms re
versed the Dred Scott decision, and by
the civil war decided that the const!
tution does not follow the flag. These
papers are in error. The point decided
by the civil war was that the const!
tution should not recognize slavery
this is clearly shown by the thirteenth
amendment. There was no amendmen
conierring upon congress tne power
to "extend" the constitution to newly
acquired territory. The people recog
nized that the Dred Scott
could not be reversed; that It was log
ical; and that the only thing to do
was to wipe out the objectionable fea
ture of the constitution, namely, the
recognition of slavery. For many
years congress had been temporizing
with the evil, and the Dred Scott de
cision precipitated matters. It has long
been looked upon as something to
make men shudder, yet, when we look
at the matter squarely, it was the
slavery that caused every lover of hu
manity to dissent. Had the court held
that In almost any other conceivable
question the constitution follows the
flag, there would have been no up
roar. In fact, the people recognized
that the court was right, and that the
only thing to do was to provide that
"neither slavery nor involuntary serv
itude shall exist within the United
States, or any place subject to their
jurisdiction." But the Downes decision
reverses the Dred Scott decision so far
as concerns the constitution follow-
ng the flag, and reverses the people
and their thirteenth amendment by
holding that the constitution must be
extended, If at all, to new territory by
an act of congress. The thirteenth
amendment now does not apply to the
Sulu islands, and there'ean be no more
cavil about the sultan's harem and his
slaves.
When the South African gold- mine
owners got up the Jameson raid and
afterwards forced on the war, they
thought that there was lots of money
n it. Now that the British parliament
has assessed half the cost of the war
upon them, they have had a very rough
reminder of their foolishness. The
cost that staggered humanity" was
too great for the English to stand and
they have by a simple act of " parlia
ment put half of it on the gold mine
owners. The English parliament can
do anything that it wants to., There
s no written constitution over there
to restrain it. It can take private
property for public use without com
pensation and there is no court to in
terfere. Our court has conferred sim
ilar powers upon our own congress
at least they attempted to. If the
fusionists should get a majority in
congress and assess the cost of the
Philippine war upon Congressman
Hull's lumber company, which under
the recent decision it -would have a
perfect right to do, Hull would not
think it such a good 'decision as he
now does.
There was an error in The Indepen
dent last week that did, great injustice
to the, Grand Island Democrat. In an
article on the first pagequoting from
and commending an " editorial from
that paper, the name of the York Dem
ocrat, instead of the Grand Island
Democrat, was inserted. This was an
injustice to that "able democratic pa
per for which we make restitution as
far as possible. It was a very com
mendable thing for, the Grand Island
Democrat to point out to its readers
that: "Since the paramountcy of the
silver question in .1896 the nation's cir
culation of money has been materially
increased. This is . accounted for in
some measure by the influx of gold
from the Klondike,- but In a larger de
gree by .the coinage, of silver, bullion
Government reports show that more
silver has been coined during this ad
ministration (at the ratio of 16 to 1)
than in any other like period in our
history. The country's prosperity has
been, coincident with" a vastly aug
mented coinage of the money metals.
Does not this support every claim of
the most ultra silverite?"
Populism continues to crop out in the
most unexpected " places. Who would
have ever dreamed that It would be ad
vocated by members of the Chicago
board of traded The other day in a
public address a member of the Chi
cago board of trade, S. H. Greeley, took
the populist position in regard to the
public ownership of railroads and di
rect legislation. He did it openly and
boldly. In speaking of the Chicago
warehouse monopoly, he said: "By the
assistance and protection of railroad
interests this monopoly has held tight
the noose around the neck of agri
culture, and today it stands with its
hands ever ready to send an arrow into
the very heart of an honest market
and legitimate investment."
He advocated government ownership
of railroads as the only solution of
farmers ills, but thought that owner
ship would never come till legislation
through '. representative government
was abolished and direct legislation by
vote of the people took its place.

There is ten times as much fun in
being a pop as a' republican! ' If you
are a republican you must do what
the machine tells you to do. If the
machine says that the Declaration of
Independence is' no good or that Diet
rich is a statesman you must say:
"That's so.'- If you are a pop, you can
say what you please. If you don't like
your senator or your supreme judge
just give them fits. If you don't like
me way tne party is managed, you
can swear at the chairman, denounce
the committee and then go out and or
ganize a new party or do anything
else that suits you. Besides that you
can have stacks of amusement poking
fun at the poor devils who voted to
decision stop the coinage of silver and when
their president " got Into office went
coining more silver than was ' ever
coined before, while they go about say
ing: "Now ' that we have the gold
standard, etc." You can't have any fun
at all being a republican, but you can
have lots of it being a pop.
The corporations continue to com
mit the gravest crimes. The big mil
lionaires who own them are the mean
est thieves that the world ever saw.
Out in Colorado the other day they
stole part of the records of the last
legislature with the hope that the bill
that they wanted to kill would be pro
nounced unconstitutional by the courts
for want of them. These same chaps
will appear at church next Sunday,
chip In to pay the preacher and per-!
haps be called upon to pass the bread
and wine at the Lord's sugper. t The
next day the dailies will notice the
fact and they will continue to be ac
cepted in "society." There was a bill
passed called the "employers liability"
bill and the millionaires didn't like it
at all. So they stole the senate record
of its passage. That is. not any worse
than stealing franchises and watering
stock which the whole lot of them are
engaged in.
The people ta Lincoln got another
dose of republican deceit at the last
election. They voted by a two-thirds
majority to establish a city lighting
plant. They won't get any. The city
council pretends it can't sell the bonds
and besides that the present company
has gone to work to increase its bonds
and stocks to about two million and a
half, and tax the people for all time to
come for a lighting plant that never
cost half a million. If there had been
a fusion majority and mayor elected
last spring, the city would have owned
and operated a lighting plant and the
citizens would have had to pay less
than one-half what they now have to
pay. But the mullet heads hereabouts
would rather be republicans and pay
double for what they get than to be
men of sense and have good govern
ment. The city of Lincoln will never
own a lighting plant while the republi
cans have a majority here.
The London Telegraph asks: "Is
England going to the dogs? Has the
dar.-i of the century given the signal
for extinguishing the supremacy of
the English thoroughbred and made
these islands, an appendage of the
United States? We must possess qur
souls In patience and endeavor to learn
lesson- irom the staggering object les
son here provided." What is causing
the downfall of, England is that it has
abandoned its ideals of liberty and is
making a war of conquest on a people
fighting for liberty. That policy has
taken all the vim out of the nation,
in finance, in industry and in politics.
Their army is made up of five-foot
stunts from the slums and commanded
by dudes from, the nobility. It has
been proven that one good, healthy
Dutch farmer can whip twenty of
them. The lords and dukes run things
at home and te Dutch run them in
South Africa.
The next time the university au
thorities invite some distinguished In
dividual who resides in the provinces
situated along the Atlantic seacoast to
deliver a commencement address, they
should append a note informing the
orator that Nebraska has the lowest
per cent of Illiterates of any state in
the union, that general audiences and
especially university audiences, are I
fairly well acquainted with history
and that an hour spent in repeating
history that ninety-nine out of every
hundred are as well acquainted with
as the orator, is a waste of time and
a trial of patience. Again, if these
orators are not well enough acquainted
with modern times and the people of
the west to know that fact, they should
read up before they put their ad
dresses into typewriting.
Ever since Bishop Bonacum took
charge of this diocese there have been
continual rows in the Catholic com
munity. Last week out at Seward the
bishop was proven to have undertaken
to summon witnesses in a case on
trial before the district court. He
was let off after having apologized,
although the judge told him that it
was" a clear contempt of court. The
bishop told the judge that the laws of
the church were superior to the laws
of the state, but the judge replied that
the " laws of the state would be en
forced. Why the Catholic church au
thorities should keep such a man in
authority against the wish of almost
every Catholic In the diocese is past
comprehension. '
