The people of Nebraska have a treat
defender In this man Prout. When he
came Into office he made haste to agree
with the attorneys for the Rock' Isl
and and Joined them n asking that
the case that Attorney General Smyth
bad brought against that ro1 should
be dismissed. The court peremptorily
refused to entertain the motion, de
manded of the attorney general an an
awer to eeveral questions and decided
that the bult could properly be roug'at
Tiie railroad then discovers! an old
injunction, Issued many years ago re
straining the attorney at that time
from instituting damage proceedings
for violation of the maximum rate
law. They resurrected the Injunction,
m-ent before the federal court with it
and obtained a ruling tbfct the Injunc
tion was still effective and that it laid
against the present attorney general.
This was satisfactory both to the rail
road and to-Mr. Prout. .With great
confidence the latter prayed the court
to dismiss the suit, and the outcome is
that the motion is denied.
This, it would seem, points to an "ir
repressible conflict" between, the fed
eral and state judiciary, the former
having ruled the state forever estopped
from bringing damage suits for viola
tions of the maximum rate law and the
latter ruling that the stitte Is not es
topped and refusing to dismiss the
particular suit in question. The writ
ten opinion of the supreme court of
the state In the question will be
awaited with interest.
The district Judges of the federal
court have been playing high Jinks
in many ways during the last few
years, but this act of Judge Munger la
issuing an injunction against the state
of Nebraska, forbidding It to prose
cute a suit at law is aboct the highest
jinks that ever a court attempted. The
eleventh amendment to the constitu
tion of the United States reads as fol
lows: "The judicial' power of the United
Slater shall not be construed to extend
to any suit of law or equity, com
menced or prosecuted against one of
the United States, etc." Prout and the
railroad attorneys came to tbe conclu
sion that Judge Munger could enjoin
the state of Nebraska, but the su
preme court don't look at it in that
light. The republicans have furnished
a great defender of the state of Ne
braska in the person of Prout.

For about a week the dallies were
filling their" columns with dreams
about a new party that was being or
ganized down in Missouri that was go
ing to have its own candidate for
president next time. They told all
aorta of cock and bull stories of bow
agents of the party had been in Lin
coln and secured the co-operation of
Mr. Bryan and the Atlanta Constitu
tion got so excited over the matter
that It sent a message to Mr. Bryan
which caught him on i. train some
where in Iowa, demanding to know
what it all meant. Mr. Bryan simply
replied: "There is no truth in the
story." If the editor of the Constitu
tion had been as well acquainted with
Associated press fakes as The Inde
pendent, he would never have taken
the trouble to have sent a telegram to
Mr. Bryan or bothered himself in tbe
least about the matter.
The truth about the natter is that
Mr. Merriwether, the public owner
ship candidate for mayor of St. Louis
against Rolla Wells, tb gold demo
crat, did come to Lincoln and have a
talk with Mr. Bryan. Afterwards he
called, with the consent and active as
sistance of the leading populists of
Missouri, a conference at Kansas City,
the object of which was to get all re
formers to pull together for the leading
populist tenets. Through the machina
tions of the mld-roaders, the populist
party has been badly shaken up In that
state, but to this conference the lead
ers ot all factions agreed to come.
They got together and promulgated tho
following set of principles (or which
they were willing to fight:
"Public ownership of all public util
ities, as railroads, telegraphs, etc.
While awaiting the legislation neces
sary to secure public ownership, ririd
control of freight and passenger rates,
and severe penalties for rebates and
other discriminations by railroads.
Taxation of railroads and other pub
lic utility corporations in the same
proportion as the values cf farm and
other property.
Direct legislation by the Initiative
nd referendum to the end that the
people may Initiate good legislation
and veto bad legislation,
A graduated Income tax to the end
that wealth, which receives govern
ment protection, shall War its just
share of tbe cost of government.
That whatever is ufcd a a moiiey

Just election laws throughout the

Home rule for cities and abolition of
the present system of using the police
as a standing army to carry primary
elections in the interest of dishonest
politicians representing illll more dis
honest special privilege corporations.
Election of United States senators
by popular vote."

Government Changed. -
The constitution, to defend . which
nearly a million men have poured out
their blood on a thousand battle fields,
Is cot for all. Some mllloni who have
lived all their lives under the folds of
the star-spangled banner hare been
told by the supreme court that the
constitution does not protect them.
They so longer hart unalienable
rights. Congress can tike every one
ot them away. Five men who live Jat
Washington, surrounded by an atmos
phere of Imperialism, militarism and
plutocracy, bare, changed the whole
form of our government. All men
not even all white men born in the
United States are no longer equal .be
fore the law. The law that is, the
constitution provides that some of
them shall not have soldiers quartered
upon them, shall not be subject to un
reasonable searches and Seizures, shall
not be held to answer for crime except
upon the presentment of a grand jury,
shall have the benefit of counsel, shall
be confronted with the witnesses
against him. shall be tried in the dis
trict where tbe,crime was alleged to
be committed by a jury of his peers,
sb all not be subject to excessive bail
nor twice be put In jeopardy for the
same offense. Now some sixteen mil
lions of people are living within the
Jurisdiction of the United States who
have been deprived of all these rights.
Now Christian men can be transported
ten thousand miles away from their
homes, tried in secret, denied counsel
and be deprived of life, liberty and
property without any" process of law.
This is the ending of the great party
founded by Lincoln which drew its in
spiration from t the declaration, that
"all men were created equal" and in
whose rank so many of us were glad

A Debt Statement.
An Interesting statement has been
made regarding the national debts of
the world's great nations. In 1793 It
was estimated that the total debt of
the nations was $2,500,000,000. It is
now estimated at $31,000,000,000. The
increase in debt, population and coin
during the past century may be stated
about as follows:
Per cent.
Increase in population 150
Increase in gold and silver 300
Increase in debt: 1,000
It will thus be seen that this vast
world's debt has largely exceeded the
Increase in coin, and must be based
largely on credit. What has caused
this frightful Increase of debt? Pos--slbl.v
one-third resulted from building
raibroads and improving rivers and
harbors. The rest may be charged to
wars many of them unholy and little
short of barbarous! This is the bur
den that agriculture has carried for,
in the end, the great expense of -war
and destruction must come out of the
soil. Rural Newyorker.

The United States senate has become
a den of pirates and robbers, the house
is just as foul, the army, as is proven
by recent events, Is rotten' to the core
and wherever one investigates a satur
nalia of deviltry meets him. A few
republican papers are protesting, the
"organs" of tbe party are as dumb as
oysters-. - Among then. aJLnot-a,,w.arji
Ing rolce Is raised. "When-congrees
meets next fall there will be scenes in
the house and senate that have not
been looked upon since the salary grab
days, that Is, If there is any fight at
all left in the democratic party. The
Buffalo and Philadelphia Times com
ment on the latest steals, but they are
both democratic papers. The. Buffalo
Times says:
"The democratic press of. the coun
try, the independent press and in some
instances, the republican press, is ring
ing these days with denunciation of
the astonishing orgy of political cor
ruption which has run its course in
Pennsylvania for the last few weeks.
Following the infamous 'Ripper bills
which destroyed local governments In
numerous large cities for the benefit of
the republican politicians, has come a
series of grabs of public franchises of
the most astonishing audacity and
shameleesness.-
"Flrst came the passage of the rail
road bills which has been described by
the Phlla delphla Times as a scheme
to secure control of the highways of
the state for private speculation.' By
these bills certain politicians, among
them, it is said, being two members
of the United States senate, have ob
tained the right to constructs network
of railroads all over Lackawanna and
Luzerne counties franchises worth
thousands and millions of dollars. At
tbe head of the corporation which ben
efits by the grab is William Conhell,
a republican congressman, whose
nephew was appointed1 recorder of
Scranton under the Ripper law, recor
der being the chief executive office.
The Philadelphia Times in a recent ar
tide charged that Senator Focht, who
was tliJ introducer of the bill giving
away, the grants, appears among the
incorporators of the company. An
other beneficiary is the son of a United
States senator. It is also charged that
Senator Quay was in the executive
mansion at Harrisburg when the bill
was signed at midnight following the
passage of the bill.
, "Of this transaction the Times says:
"'The whole power of. the state offi
cers, the United States senators and
the representatives In congress has
been concentrated to divide among
themselves rights and privileges which
belong only to the public," for their
speculative profit, the aggrandisement
of themselves and their friends and
the destruction of the property ' of
others.
"The next act In this drama of in
famy was the giving away of street
railway franchises in the pity of Phila
delphia to practically the same gang of
politicians. A subservient common
council passed the ordinances and
Mayor Ashbridge started to go through
the form of referring them to various
departments for investigation and rec
ommendations. But John Wanamaker.
who is conceded to be a pretty good
business man, wrote a letter to the
mayor offering $2,500,000 for the. fran
chises which the common council pur
posed to give away. The letter was
sent by messenger, but the mayor, ree
bgnising the writing of Mr. Wanamak

after the messenger boy. He was In

mine called my attention some weeks
ago in the public 'library to your pa

ing which I intended long ago to drop
you a line In appreciation of; ttis even,
not too late now. The words in your
editorial were, "By order of the villlan
of the ages, who smiled, and smirked.
said his prayers and went to church."
Now, this -is talk Just to the point;
it' is really Garrlsonlan. We hear no
such directness of speech this way as
of old in abolition days,. We should

throats hoarse with its deliverance
and reiteration; and should all the

wo had we should have been witness
tb no such horrible, horrible tragedies
as we have and are still witness to.
"Villian of ail the ages" is hitting the
mark in the white of it. Murderer of

and does it is responsible for the de
struction of three republics at least. If
not a fourth, and the greatest the
world ever saw. I say three, for there
Is not a particle of doubt but that for
our example England never would
have dared to war against and extin
guish the two South African repub
lics. Does anybody-believe that had
we assisted to set up our brother at.
tempting to -rise and stand upon his
feet in the Philippines instead of mur
dering hird in -cold blood and crushing
to earth his very worthy ambition to
be a self-respecting freeman, and all
for "glory" or commercial gain, that
England would'have dared In the face
of such a moral example and our ex
ample to enter upon the deliberate and
bloody extinction of two republics and
Christian peoples, too? If anybody
does, he does not half appreciate the
"world power" we were iven ia the
mind of England herself before we

conquest. The Venezuela episode
should settle it with any such doubter
if he is not open to a realization of the

A CAPTURED GENERAL
He Break Hla Parole. JBaeaae. Is Recap
tured, Conrtmartlaled, Sentenced to he
Shot and Then Redeemed With
a Thousand Prisoners ;
: Three or four months - ago Lord
Kitchener's dispatches frequently men
tioned the "dashing cavalry command
er," General French. Then all at once
no more was heard of General French.
To telegraphic inquiries answer was
made that he was sick and had gone
to Durban to recuperate. After a
while the malls from South Africa ar
rived and they told a different story,
it seems that in some battle that was
never reported to the world General
Botha captured the said General
French. The news having reached Eu
rope by mail, the editor of the .West
phalie Zeitung appealed to Mrs. Botha,
who is now in Germany, to know
whether it was true or not. It then
gave the whole story to the public:
"The unscrupulous British general,'
the paper adds. "regardless of his
pledge of honor, broke his parole and
escaped. He did not, however, profit
by hi3 faithlessness, for before he had
got within touch of the British lines
the keen burghers caught up with him,
recaptured him and brought him back
to General Botha."
"General Botha," continues the
story, "ordered the British cavalry
leader to be shot, and the sentence was
about to be carried out when a mes
senger' cane in hot haste from tbe
British commander-in-chief, Lord
Kitchener, imploring the Boer general
to delay the execution and offering to
release 1,000 Boers from the prion
camp at Simonstown to secure General
French's release. v
"On these conditions," the story
concludes, "the British general was set
at liberty."
All Europe is wondering when and
where this battle occurred in which
Gereral I Tench was captured and how
many were killed and wounded. Fur
ther than saying that, many of the
battles in which the Boers are victor
ious are never reported at all. Mrs.
Botha will add nothing to the story as
it came by mall. v
; It Is announced in Germany- and
Holland that 6,000 Burghers from Cape
Colonv have recently joined Dewet and
that Itewet's recent captures, including
th,.ow- reported in last weens mne
pendent, have put into his hands
Bnoi-srh arms. ammunition and sup-
piles to 3ast him for a year.
Meantime mere is a great uproar ia
England. Thousands of photographs
of half-starved women and children
coniined In the reconcentrado camps of
South Africa are being distributed.
Pro-Bier meetings are being held and
a general x pro-Boer propaganda has
been Inaugurated. At one meeting 10,
000 hooligans and Jingoes gathered la
the streets outside the hall and the
police had to exert themselves to pre
vent a disastrous riot. Mr. Asquith.
has forsaken the liberals and joined
Lord Salisbury and Joe Chamberlain
jingoes, which has had the effect of
rcaklnj the liberals still more ener
getic in iheir fight against the war
policy. .Meantime the. debt of England
climbs up mountain high. Disaster
was-only prevented a week ago oy-te
shipping back to England . a large
amount Jf gold that was sent to India
to establish the gold standard there.
What the chancellor will do next to
prevent a panic Is not known, but if
the war goes on something desperate
raust be done soon.
Great preparations are being made
in New York. to receive Kruger when
he visits the .United States fnext fall.
A neetlng was held that lasted several

The peace rumors current during the
early part of the week have unfortun

tion was not made brighter by a pub

Telegram company this week that the j
censor had impounded a message -oi

"Business is" at a standstilC "The or
ders for sales find few takers, and then
at a heavy loss from the quotations.
Only on Friday and Saturday did the
market become somewhat firmer with
prices slightly rising in a score of the
better values.
"The week began with the crash of
the Dresden Credit Ansalt and the
Kummer Electric company.-- which
owes 9,000,000 marks to the Dresden. '
Credit Ansalt alone. Rumors are in j
circulation to 'the effect that a number !
of other electric .concerns and the !
banks supporting .them in Dresden.!
Berlin and Dantric are in serious dif
ficulties. - The paft week was notablsj
for rumors: they found sustenance,
from the highly unfavorable reports
which come in frorn every kind of bus-
iness, especially from the Rhine, West
phalian .industrials and iron'and ma
chine firms and mining concerns. It
was generally pointed out that many
German electric works were neither
soundly founded nor financiered, and

concerns will encounter financial diffl-

tacked all along the line bringing
about greatly reduced quotations, even
for such strong societies as Rom
bacher minings. Following this came
the blue book on the Transvaal rail
road, which caused a sensation In Ber
lin, as It had been firmly believed that
tbe British government would favor
the German shareholders of the road.
The German financial press still ex
presses this belief, but the shares
which were formerly quoted here at
226, have dropped to 155, and have not
recovered.
"Altogether, the boerse situation
during the past week Is one that his
only been equalled in the worst time
and it is generally thought that there
will be no marked improvement for a
long time to come. The bears partic
ularly selected bank shares for their
attacks and the securities of. every
bank lost a number of points. In
some cases the losses amounted to
twenty and even more."
While , "business is at a standstill"
In the gold standard countries, here In
this country where McKlnley is coin
ing over three- million of silver every
month at the ratio of 16 to.l, business
booms. The nejt thing that England
and Germany will be doing will be to
sell bonds to get gold. That Is tbe gold
bug Idea always. and everywhere and
Is what Cleveland did. It Is to be hoped
that-they. will. We can spare some
hundred millions .of gold without af
fecting prices so long as McKlnley
continues to coin silver. To all this
Stress and strain In Europe. Uncle Sam
winks his left eye and says:
- "Oo it, ye gold standard lunatics!
I am out of it now. Money Is, plenty
and I am making more of it every day
of silver at 16 to 1. We'll Just keep at
It. You got me Into the doldrums by
persuading Grover . Cleveland . to stop
coining silver. But I'm out now and
sailing with fair winds over smooth
seas to the havens of prosperity; Keep
It up over ther.. Our foreign 3tracl, inr
creases and our manufacturers with
plenty of silver, gold and paper money
grow fat every day."
