Since McKinley's speech oa free j trade at Buffalo, the republicans are fettlnir ready to declare that they favor the principle of reciprocity, but are opposed to its practice. There is going to be trouble in the republican camps over this suction. The Dutch secret police la Holland irre-rtea if. k. an3er:mt as an an archist. They did cot miss the mark Yery far euber. for It is the methods or tucn iaea s be that produce tie discontent and uprisings which are i so cue feared by the European govei . rreru. TUX AXASCB ISTS There are but three governments In the world which bare not adopted drastic measures to get rid of and drive out the anarchists. These three are Switzerland. Great Britain and .- the United States. All of them are re publics, for England ia only a republic masquerading in the name of mon archy. The United States and England punish no man for bis . beliefs, and every man may teach them in the ab stract, however destructive may be their tendencies, except wage-workers, so they do not disturb the peace nor display Immediate danger of doing so. In England and the United States an archist sections may meet;, they may denounce all governments, ing peans to their own deadly doctrines and go to the extent of conspiracy against the lives of foreign kings and potentates. Yet the United States has suffered more from the murder of rulers than any other nation In recent times. Two of Its presidents have been killed and another now lies at the point of death. The question now presses upon all of the people: What measures shall be adopted to suppress anarchism? In passing laws for this purpose it won't do to encroach upon the freedom of the press or of speech. Indeed, such laws would be unconstitutional. Neither must anything be done that will endanger the life or liberty of any innocent person. But anarchism must be suppressed. That the Ameri can people have determined upon and it will be done. It "appears to The Independent that the object can be accomplished with out tresspassing upon any of the rights of freemen. Society has a right to protect Itself from domestic as well as from foreign foes. A man with a homicidal impulse is now restrained for the good of himself and of society. It is done on both purely legal and ethical grounds. Any man or woman who proclaims the Insane belief in the murder of rulers should be immediate ly arrested and confined in some safe institution where he or she could not attack innocent men. society and gov ernment. Such a law would not only be constitutional, but humane and of the highest equity. Let 6uch a law as that be passed. Send to some institu tion where escape would be impossible every advocate of murder. Every such person is dangerous to the welfare of mankind. A man or woman who sin cerely believes In murder is to that extent insane and should be restrained. There are hundreds of such persons now in our Insane asylums. Why not send the remainder of them there? The way the plutocratic press has connected socialism and anarchy dur ing the last few days is outrageous. The Independent has always been an opponent of socialism, but this con necting socialism with anarchy under the present circumstances is infamous. The anarchist believes in no govern ment, while the socialist would ex pand government far beyond its pres ent limits. To hold the socialist to be in any way responsible for the acts of anarchists is shameful. I When any man gets beyond the stage where he cannot reason he should have a guardian if harmless, and put under restraint if dangerous to the welfare of society. It is hardly possible that any man with reason undisturbed can believe that the form of government would be changed by the murder of a ruler. The next day after President Lincoln was assassinated and at the height of the excitement the Rocky Mountain News had the following edi torial and it applies to this question with great force. The News said: "It is idle to imagine that general results can be materially affected. The wheels of government, after the tem porary jar of last Saturday morning, will move on as quietly and Irresistibly as they did before. The power of the nation is not weakened while its deter mination is immeasurably strength ened. It Is true we have lost the ex perience, the sound Judgment and wis dom of our great ruler, and that the greatest statesman and diplomat of the age (Seward) Is stricken, possibly to death, but other men will fill their places, who are, at least, equal to the emergency. Abroad the status of the United States cannot be affected to its disad vantage one particle. At home its arm ies are moving as orderly and as irre sistibly today as they were a week ago. At the national capital every branch of the government Is in order, and harmonious. More care and pre caution will be taken in the future a lesson learned by dear-bought .exper ience. Even in financial circles there will be but a flutter, and then every thing will settle down to the old rou tine; following the same channel and governed by the sitme rules that have confined and governed the financial and monetary world for years past." During the last hundred years be sides three presidents of the United States who have teen attacked by as sassins there have been fourteen rul ers . murdered, forty-two unsuccessful attempts at assassination and twenty bystanders killed. Not in a single in stance has any change In the govern ment been effected thereby. Mea who still believe In the efficacy of murder of rulers under these circumstances should certainly be confined in some safe prison for life. XTJSION I1C THE EAST. While the republican writers in Ne braska and Kansas shiver at the very thought of the immorality of fusion, it seems that the republicans of New York are bending every nerve to form a fusion against Tammany and the leading lights in the republican party there including Tom Piatt are giving it all the aid they can. John Wanna maker and the republicans who act with him are making every effort to form a fusion withthe democrats, populists and prohibitionists in Phila delphia. The Outlook says: "The present prospects are somewhat favorable to the movement which has been Inaugurated in Philadelphia to defeat the nominations of the Quay Ashbrldge machine at the November election. The various organizations opposed to the ring have agreed upon a strong fusion ticket.' The truth is that when a great party is entrenched In power with millions of patronage to distribute and has be come corrupt that it always takes a fusion movement to overthrow it, It was such a movement that overthrew Tweed. Fusion is not only highly moral but it is statesmanlike. The Independent is glad to see that the reformers of the east are learning something of practical politics from the populists of the west. MILITARY PROCLAMATIONS. Joe Chamberlain has adopted the South American plan of campaign and is now going to conquer the Boers by proclamation. Under his orders Kitch ener has issued the following pro clamation: "All commandants, field cornets and leaders of armed bands, being burgh ers of the late republic and still engag ed in resisting his majesty's forces, whether in the Orange Colony, the Transvaal or other portions of his ma jesty's domains, and all members of the late governments of the Orange Free State and Transvaal, shall, unless they surrender before September 15, be permanently banished from South Africa. The cost of the maintenance of the families of all burghers in the territory named who have not surren dered by September 15 shall be recov erable from such burghers and shall be a charge upon their property, re movable and immovable, in the two colonies." This is simply a declaration that the English will make a desert of South Africa and call it advancing civilization. But it seems the Boers understand the proclamation business also, for De Wet has issued one say ing that he will shoot every English man found in the republics after the 15th of September. Kitchener seems to have forgotten that he will have to catch the Boers before he can banish them and they are awful hard to catch. The authorities of the populist par ty have wisely decided to continue fusion with the forces opposed to re publicanism, a course that seems to The Independent wise and statesman like. The editor of this paper can not be deceived into playing into the part of Clem Deaver and the True opulist by publishing communica tions attacking Bryan and leading men among our allies. This paper stands for the public ownership of railroads, telegraphs and all public monopolies whatever and will continue an edi torial campaign along these lines un til a majority of the people are con vinced that the attempt to "control" the great corporations is futile and that their continuance is the founda tion of most of the corruption in pol itics. Any article, well written, ad vocating the doctrines that the popul ist party has always advocated from the adoption of the Omaha platform until the present time will be receiv ed with pleasure, but personal as saults upon Bryan or other leading men who belong to the Bryan dem ocracy will not be published and it is useless to send them. Bryan has of ten declared for the public ownership of all municipal franchises. He has never been guilty of "political tricks" and the columns of this paper cannot be used to make such charges against him. The editor of this paper is not a Clem Deaver and denies any rela tionship to him. The people of this state have had enough of that kind of. politics. No political boss, and no man, high or low has ever attempted to dictate to this writer what should appear in The Independent or what course it should pursue. They know better than to try it. Some very lu crative positions have been offered in other fields and they have been refus ed, but no dictation has ever been pre sumed upon. That is the whole truth. , The steamship lines between New York and London have become great floating gambling palaces. Hundreds of gamblers make them their regular homes and go back and forth during the whole season. A jack-pot on one of the recent arrivals was said to con- l tain $90,000. V A NATION OF GAMBLERS This nation is becoming a nation of gamblers. There is more gambling done in the United States than in any of the Latin republics ten, and per haps a thousand times as much al though the press ! has been writing funny items concerning their gam bling proclivities for many decades. More money is invested in gambling in the United States than in any other one business. Hundreds of banks make all their profits by lending money to the gamblers especially to board of trade .gamblers. But"gambling is everywhere. In Lincoln and every other town of any size In this state there are scores of gambling houses ranging from the old-style kind to the policy and bucket shops. All the sports of the people are based on gambling. The international yacht race ' is nothing but a big gambling scheme. A lot of steel trust magnates made a syndicate bet the other day of $400,000 on that race. This gambling is a loss to the state of such magnitude that no man can compute it. Hundreds of thousands of men are withdrawn from productive industry and legitimate business who spend their lives in gambling. Many hundreds of millions of money are em ployed in gambling, which, if put to work Into legitimate industries, would give employment to thousands and ap preciably raise the price of farm com modities. That is. not the worst of it. If it continues to increase it will re sult in a race of effeminate degen erates and the destruction of modern society. Every - thinking man knows this to be true, yet we hear no gen eral outcry against it, and the great churches are silent. They admit to their communions the most notorious gamblers not those who bet small sums, but those who put large for tunes at stake every day of their lives, sometimes losing all and sometimes making immense fortunes. A man who goes, on the board of trade and bets on the rise and fall of pricss, who has no goods to sell and nwer expects any to be delivered to him when he buys, is simply a gambler. NO MORE EDITORIALS The idea that editorial matter should be entirely eliminated in the daily press is gaining ground in the eastern states. Several articles have appeared during the .last year in the magazines and the dailies themselves advocating it. In the near future that plan may be adopted." "There are a good many reasons why, such a course should be pursued. The daily press has com pletely changed in the last thirty years. They; are all now owned or controlled by commercial interests of various sorts and kinds. There is no general principle upon which any edi torial writing can be based advocated by any of them and any attempt at dis cussion is bound to make the writers ridiculous. So they have no heart for the undertaking. Their purpose can be much easier and more effectively ob tained by sticking an opinion or a slur into the news note. The ridiculous plight that the flfty-one-cent shilling editor of the capital republican organ found himself in when he undertook to write an ar ticle on exchange and prices in the Argentine republic is enough to for ever discourage him from another at tempt of that kind. It is much better and easier to mutilate dispatches and abuse Bryan. Rosewater will never mention the subject again. But their assertions that wheat sold in Argen tina for 20 cents a bushel in gold will stand without correction. It is diffi culties like that that causes editorial writing in the plutocratic dailies to be very unsatisfactory work. So the probability is they will give it up altogether. THE UNIVERSITY From the 17th to the 20th of Sep tember is registration week at the university. There is not a town, city or village in the state that is not inter ested in the university, while on scores of farms preparations have been mak ing for weeks to send' some son or daughter here to obtain a higher edu cation. The university is now well equipped in all departments and al though the students will have to fur nish from their own pockets the money that Dietrich held up by his veto, yet even then it will pay them better than any other investment that they can make of their time and money. Whenever The Independent thinks of that veto, it feels like the old Quaker who wanted to hire a man to go out and swear ten dollars worth. The money is in the treasurer's hands or is drawing Interest for . some ."re deemer," while the poor students have to foot the bill. That is one of the blessings of having "redeemed" Ne braska. The agricultural department will be more largely attended this year than evex before.' Everything is in readi ness for the reception of students out there and they will receive instruction that will be a financial benefit to them as long as they engage in farming. The university experiment station has been worth millions of dollars to Ne braska farmers. .The ordinary farmer 4 has neither, the time nor the money to make experiments to. find out the best varieties of wheat and grasses. The introduction of alfalfa has brought more money into the pockets of farm ers than the whole university has cost from its very beginning. The same thing could be said of . many other things that have been done and dis covered out there. As a reason for the many escapes from the penitentiary since the re deemers got charge of it, the republi cans now say that the pops got the convicts so demoralized during their control of the institution that the convicts all want to run away and really they can't be stopped. According to the report of the United States treasurer, on July 1 the stock of money in this country included $1, 124,729,261 in gold, $610,062,587 In sil ver dollars and subsidiary coin. That statement is proof beyond dispute that the idea of a single gold standard is still a far off dream. , The inheritance tax in France pro duced $38,387,000 out of the total rev enue , of the government which was $546,846,000. As France is a land of competencies, with few great fortunes, this is a remarkable showing. In our own country the same tax would pro duce upward of $100,000,000, and in some years nearer $200,000,000. Mr. C. T. Bride and his son, W. W. Bride, real estate dealers of Washing ton, D. C, were in Lincoln during the week and The Independent was glad to greet them as intelligent, active workers in the cause for which it fights. They were guests of W. J. Bryan while in the city and their call at The Independent office was very enjoyable. The Christian scientists claim a de monstration of their theory of the all powerfulness of mind over matter in the case of Mrs. McKinley. Before the president was shot she had to be car ried up and down stairs. Now she can go up and down stairs without assist ance and has taken no drugs. The reg ulars have another theory to account for the change. Revs. Dr. Talmage and Dr. Naylor, a Methodist clergyman of Washington, D. C, have both publicly Joined the anarchists by declaring that if they had been present when the president was shot they would have ignored law and order and brained or shot the assassin on the. spot.. Anarchist sections will no doubt glory in the ac quisition of these two distinguished clergymen to their ranks. When a political convention can give an order to a governor which he instantly obeys, it unsettles our form er theories of government. That kind of government is an invention of the "redeemersv of Nebraska. If the pre cedent is to be followed, it will make little difference who is elected gov ernor for he will have no policy of his own that he is not bound to change as soon as ordered to do so by a resolu tion committee. If the anarchists could succeed in killing the president, vice president, the whole cabinet, the speaker of the house and every prominent military commander all at once, it would not result in any change in the form of government. The people would soon supply the vacancies with men just as able and the government would endure. Any man but a fool or an anarchist would know that the murder of rulers could result in nothing but murder. The republican state convention of Philadelphia met, organized, adopt ed a platform, nominated candidates and adjourned in one hour and 28 minutes. They denounced the demo crats and laughed at ring rule, declar ing that such charges were only made in democratic yellow journals. There was harmony for you, my boy. That is republicanism true and undefiled. There are no more kickers against Quay in the republican party in Penn sylvania. Of course the Nebraska republican farmer will be delighted when Hanna gets his ship subsidy bill through with the prospect of being one of those who will have to pay an Increase in taxes of about $10,000,000 a year to go into the pockets of the syndicate who are pushing the thing through congress. If he will not be why should he support " the republican ticket? Hanna says he now has a cinch on the passage of that bill as soon as congress meets. Under the fusion government the state treasurer forced the county treasurers . to make a full report and forward their funds every month. The result of that policy was that the state did not lose one cent by embezzle ment or otherwise while the fusionists held the state government. This pol icy has made such an impression up on the people that the republican state convention thought it would be good politics to demand that their treas urer should do the same thing. But he won'j C3AY D THE BEST MEN'S CLOTHING IN AMERICA AT A SAVING OF FULLY ONE-THIRD ON THE PRICES USUALLY CHARGED FOR INFERIOR GRADES. sv The H., S. & M., The B.

Every one knows that the Record-Herald keeps upon its staff the most accomplished and persisitent liar that the world ever saw and gives his matter con stantly the most conspicious place in its columns? . As long as it employs W. E. Curtis as one of the chief writ ers it only exhibits hypocrisy when it denounces lying. x When Garfield was shot there was the same demand made as now for . a law inflicting more severe punishment upon the assailant of the president than upon a private citizen. It ended in nothing being done. The only ac tion taken was to provide for the suc cession when a president and vice pres ident were both removed. Now the succession runs down through the cabinet to the speaker of the house of representatives. To leave the govern ment without a head the president, the vice president, the cabinet and the speaker would all have to be killed. One would have thought . that, the Associated press would in the calamity of the nation caused by the attempted assassination of the president have discontinued under such distressing circumstances its habit of distortion and lying, but it didn't. In one col umn we read that Secretary Cortelyou never left the president for a mo ment, not even to obtain food or rest or sleep for two days and that no one was allowed in the room where the wounded president 'lay except the doc tors and trained nurses .and that even his private secretary was not permitted admittance. it has been a bad year for yachts named "Constitution" and "Indepen dence," but no worse than for the constitution and the Declaration of In dependence themselves. Lawson says that he is going to break up the Inde pendence and sell it for old junk. That is exactly what the supreme court did for the document that it was named after. The yacht Constitution has been put out of the race and relegated to the rear. Tbat-is what -has, happened to the constitution df'the UnitedState"sr Neither yachts nor the documents bear ing those names find any favor with the millionaires. An editorial was prepared for The Independent last week complimenting the "redeemers" on the fact that only orio rnnvlcl had PRnaneri frnm tho npn-' : - -s'V itentiary. during the week, but it had to be killed on the morning of pub lication because two more took a no tion; to leave the night before. All they bad to do was to climb over the wall. The men selected to guard the prison walls are very much like the distinguished gentleman' whom that party has chosen to guard their Inter ests ' in the legislative halls. They sleep while the thieves do as they please. - A man writesS'lo"'Tlhe Independent and wants to know whether the Omaha bankers who jumped at the funds as soon as Meserve turned them over to Stuefer carried them away in a car pet sack or in cigar boxes. Caldwell and Balch and another Omaha bank er whose name Is forgotten were pres ent. As soon as the money was turned over they wrapped up the currency in a newspaper, the gold which was in sacks they took in their Iiands and called a cab, into which they all tumbled with great haste and started for Omaha. It is hardly probable that Stuefer Will publish a report giving the fact3, al though the state convention so de manded, wwvwv It is said that the hair on the heads of the distinguished gentlemen who occupy the offices of the -American tariff league and weekly send out hun dreds of thousands of documents to- prove that the infant industries of this country must be protected against the pauper labor of Europe nearly turnM gray when they read that passage in McKinley 's speech which says, "Per chance some of our tariffs are no long er needed for revenue or to encourage and protect our interests at home.' "Perchance" is a very mild word, but it was full of terrors to those who by the aid of the tariff have been charg ing Americans nearly twice as much for goods as they sold the same ar ticles to' foreigners. After a railroad once gets into poli tics it finds it a very difficult matter to get out. The Southern Pacific seems to have made such an effort recently and found that it couldn't. It ha l kept a lot of political barnacles on its pay rolls and regularly sent them to the legislature. The recent combina tions made them no longer useful to the road and the manager undertook to stop their pay. But he found that he couldn't. Instead of the barnacles having to go the manager had to be changed. Republican railroad barn acles have cost the people of Nebraska millions of dollars and will cost them millions more. The roads will never be able to get rid of them as lon n.? there is any chance for that party to control the state government.
