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

HAYDEN BROS., OMAHA, N
It was in perfect keeping with the
whole course of the Chicago Record
Herald that it should denounce Chan
cellor Andiijws and set itself up as a
champion of veracity. 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

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

that he is going to break up the Inde

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

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.

mined. The actual liability on 1,000
lives or any other number of lives, well
selected from healthy risks, can be

to confuse intelligent men on the sub
ject. The age of ignorance upon mor
tuary records and the cost of life in
surance is passed.
