rRKSIOXXT XeKIKUT
The death of President Mc Kin ley will
bring sorrow to every citizen and sub
ject In the United States except a few
malicious, malignant and cowardly
murderers who should not be allowed
an existence upon this beautiful earth,
which. Cod created lor the peaceful
home of all his creatures.
McKInley, as a man, who in the
highest station that caa be obtained
upon this earth, was an example of
those . homely - virtues which always
have and always will endear the hus
band and the father to the American
people. The Talue of such an example
in this era of lax morals, especially
among the very rich, more than at
tones for any mistakes he may have
made in his career as. a ruler, for say
what we will, the love of home, of wife
and children is the corner stone and
very foundation of every blessing that
we enjoy, whether .it be life, liberty,
or property. . That President McKInley
loved, watched and tenderly cared for
his Invalid wife will be told of him
more often than any official act which
he performed.
President McKinley's Impulses
were always right. He declared that
forcible annexation was criminal ag
gression. His first declarations con
cerning Porto Rico and our plain duty
in regard to that island were prompted
by his love of humanity, but there
seemed always to be a power at Wash
ington which he could not resist and
that power was opposed to the human
longings of his heart and all the im
pulses that would have guided him if
he had been free to carry his own
ideas.
As a man he was lovable. The
things that he did which have been
subject to criticism were acts in direct
contradiction to his best judgment
publicly expressed. No one but he and
his God can know what struggles he
went through before he submitted to
that power at Washington which no
man so far has been able to resist.
President McKInley has gone, but that
power, which is greater than presi
dents still remains and its force is un
diminished. Three presidents have been mur
dered with the memory of tbe writer.
In every Instance a universal gloom
has settled upon the whole population.
All the people persons of every politi
afl Illation and religious creed have
been sincere mourners, except a hand
ful of criminals, so vile and degraded
that there is no word In tbe English
language that will describe them.
They are worse than wolves, for
wolves will not attack their leader.
The lowest orders in animal life are
superior to them. They " should not
be allowed to exist. But their exter
mination should be accomplished ac
cording to the forms of law and not in
violation of it. Slobs and lynching
cal affiliation and religious creed have
are anarchy as much as shooting
presidents.
Tbe whole nation mourns. Our
hands, our hearts, our sympathies
go out to the stricken ones. To the
desolate wife, all of whose children
have passed on before, and who hus
bandless and childless, can now only
wait in tears and sorrow for the day
when the messenger shall come to
her. what can the nation say but that
we, too, are mourners.

The singular fact was brought to the
attention of the managers of the Buf
falo exposition that there were thous
ands upon thousands of people in the
state of New York who scarcely know
that there is an exposition, while In
every western state every child has
heard of it. That shows the difference
between the wide awake western peo
ple who read and the Colts of the east
who live only to vote "er straight and
denounce Bryan and the populists.
Not only the census, but everything
show that where populism has Its
strongest positions is among the most
intelligent of the people.
IT CANT BE DONE
Perhaps there are some people
among the 80,000,000 population of the
United States who believe that this
system that has been' established by
the trust and the banks can endure,
but they are not those who calmly rea
son. The system proposes that the
workers and producers shall pay at
least 15 per cent interest forever, on
all the actual capital that was in ex
istence la this country four years ago.
That i to be accomplished by watering
stocks and placing them upon the mar
ket. The steel stock has been watered
somewhat over 200 per cent and some
other stocks much more. It is pro
posed to pay dividends on all of this
watered stock, which Is equivalent to
15 per cent on the actual capital em
ployed. That Is to say, that hereafter
capital is to take three times as much
of the joint product of capital and la
bor as it ever did before. It can't be
done. For a great many years the an
nual Increase of wealth in the whole
country has been about 3 per cent. On
account of the great advancement In
science and invention the increase in
the future will be somewhat greater,
but these arrangements of the trusts,
railroads and banks, contemplate tak
ing much more than what the increase
in wealth can possibly be. The result
la the end would be.tfie Impoverish
ment of nine-tenths of the population
for the enrichment of the other tenth.
The people will never submit. It can't
be done. On account of the subsidiz
ing of nearly the whole press of the
United States, it may take some time
for the people to find out the cause,
but in the end they will find it, and
when they do, it will be a day of woe
for the commercial highwaymen who
have' deceived them.
Attention is called to the very able
letter of Mr. Van Vorhis on national
bank reserves. It will be well to pre
serve it. Twice The Independent has
tried to get this matter before the gen
eral public, but failed. The truth is
that the depositor in a national bank
has no security save the honor of the(
banker. There are practically no re
serves. In the beginning of both the
campaigns of 1896 and 1900 The Inde
pendent tried for weeks to get the
dailies to take up this question and
make it a part of the campaign, but
none of them would do it. Populists
of Nebraska understand that under the
law nearly all of thex"reserves," so
called, of the national banks are
loaned out. These articles of Mr. Van
Vorhis will give them the data that
will enable them to impress the facts
upon their neighbors, who having read
nothing but republican papers of
course are in total ignorance of every
thing connected with banking or cur
rency. yVSS
IS HE A SAINT?
Bobbin Hood, the English highway
man, gained a reputation that has
been known to all ever since Wyn
kvnde Worde published his little
pamphlet entitled, "The Lytel Geste
of Bobbin Hood." Andrew Carnegie
seems determined to perpetuate his
name in much the same manner, tne
only difference being that Andrew
robbed the poor and gave to the middle
class, while Bobbin Hood robbed the
rich and gave to the poor. When Car
negie watered the stock of his con
cern which was worth not to exceed
$250,000,000 up to $520,000,000 and put
it into the steel trust, he committed a
highway robbery the magnitude of
which would have staggered all the
robbers who ever lived before him. It
was a perpetual robbery that was ex
pected to continue to rob the genera
tions yet to come, for he took steel
stock for pay that was to draw interest
until the angel places one foot upon
the sea and one upon the land and de
clares that time shall be no more. Car
negie expects the authorities of the
church to place his name on the calen
dar of saints for this act. What is
your opinion? Should it go there or
be placed at the head of all the rob
bers of all the world?
EDITORIAL WRITING
The Kansas Commoner, after quot
ing an editorial in this paper urging
populist editors to do more editorial
writing, says:
"The Independent always gives
sound advice to its brethren and in
the matter of vigorous editorial work,
it practices what it preaches. A news
paper should always be the exponent
of right principles and should wield
its influence conscientiously toward
the maintenance of an elevated and
healthy public sentiment. It's work
is not less important than that of tie
preacher or teacher and should be as
conscientiously performed."
While fully appreciating the kindly
comment, the article from the Com
moner is reproduced for the purpose
of keeping before reform editors tho
subject. There is a great work for
them to do which is not accomplished
by printing the local news. Tho ignor
ance among the mass of republican
voters and editors is so dense upon all
economic subjects, that unless these
subjects are intelligently discussed in
the reform press, some day overwnelm
ing calamity will result.
In the good old days when the grand
old party ran every thing, the bosses
told the people that under them
"the foreigner paid the tax" and they
all marched up to the polls and voted
for more tariffs. Now it seems that
the1 bosses have changed their minds
and are telling them a tale somewhat
different. They declare that that rule
does not apply to Germany. The Bing
ham Bepublican of New York, says
of the Germans: "They cannot do
without the necessities of life, and by
taxing such American commodoties as
are a vital necessity to the German
people the German government is levy
ing a galling tax which its people, and
no one else, will be compelled to pay."
The secretary of the treasury states
that the amount of money In the Unit
ed States is $2,511,859,533. Of this
amount, including uncoined bullion in
the treasury, $1,147,836,145 is gold. That
is less than half of the whole amount.
What would happen if another at
tempt were made to stop the coinage
of silver and reduce' this country to a
gold standard? There never was a
I more crazy idea ever attempted to be
put Into law than the plan, now aban
doned, of reducing this country to a
single gold standard. Who were the
lunatics in the last two presidential
campaigns I
i
POTENT WORDS
There have been, foolish and hys
terical things said about the assassi
nation of the president by minis
ters, and The Independent isglad to
quote the words of one who talks sense.
Rev. H. W. Thomas of Chicago said:
"The psychological efforts of war, of
trust and strikes should be studied.
Our age of force is hurting the higher
sensibilities; lowering the nobler ideals
lessening the eacredness, right of duty
and responsibility, and human life.
This great land should pause in its
might; should study the greater mean
ings of life; shuld fear God and love
the right"
The Independent has opposed the
doctrine of force and wars of con
quest from the beginning, not so much
for their evil effects upon the people
forcibly annexed, as upon the people
of the United States. The destruction
of the ideals of the American people,
the abandonment of the doctrines of
the declaration of Independence and all
the accompaniment of empire was cer
tain to work a revolution in the consti
tution of society itself. The thought
of 30,000 Filipinos slainby American
soldiers could not help lowering the
moral standard of the whole people.
A psychological effect was sure to fol
low and it would be degenerating and
not uplifting. The words of Dr. Thom
as are full of power and should com
mand the attention of all.
RAILROAD MEN
The Independent has in years gone
past said many severe things of the
railroad men yet it has pitied them.
Many of them spend the greater part
of their lives in the service of a cor
poration in the exercise of specific du
ties that unfit them even at middle
life for engaging in other business.
Then a day comes when a new lot of
schemers get hold of the road or it
forms a combine with another sys
tem. These men who have been so
faithful and efficient are cast aside
as old junk. There are hundreds of
them today all over the United States
who live in terror since the new com
binations have been formed. They
don't know whether their job will last
over night. There is no compassion,
no sympathy, no conscience in a cor
poration. They have no human being
to which they can appeal. The Inde
pendent has often wondered why all
railroad men were not advocates of
government ownership. Then under
civil service rules, their positions
would pay just as well as now and be
sides they would be permanent. They
would not always be in dread and hang
on by their; eyebrows. They could
be independent, self-respecting citi
zens in fear of no man. They could
vote as they pleased and not be slaves
to the orders of their superiors as
they are now. There are signs that a
good many of them are thinking of
these things of late.
INTELLECTUAL ANTICS
The freaks that the socialist intel
lect will perform beats the best trained
accrobat in a three-ring circus. Now
here is the Custer County New Era,
which says.
"The socialists should get several
hundred votes in Custer county, as the
Custer county populists have decided
emphatically against fusion with eith
er of the old parties, and with a social-
isitc ticket in the field they can vote
for their principles without being
forced into a fusion deal."
That is to say if the populists of
Custer county should fuse with the so
cialists it wouldn't be fusion, but if
they fused with .the democrats that
would be fusion and a thing horrible
to contemplate. If there is any other
man besides a socialist who can suc
ceed in contradicting himself more
flatly in one sentence than the writer
of that article, his name should be
put on record. If there are any former
populists in Custer county who are
now socialists and should join the so
cialist party, they certainly can't be
both socialists and populists. If there
are any "true populists" who are op
posed to fusion they can't fuse with the
socialists any more than with demo
crats.
THE CLARK RAILROAD
As long as millionaires exist it is a
good thing to have some of them on
our side. In the railroad world they
seem to be nearly all on the other side.
If one of them attempts to favor the
people the rest of them turn and rend
him as wolves do a wounded member
of a pack. Just at present it seems
that the Harrimans, Goulds and their
click are hard after Senator Clark of
Montana who is trying to build an in
dependent line to California. The
Southern Pacific has had the people of
that state by the throat for very many
years. It has controlled the state gov
ernment and the courts, and the people
could get no relief whatever from its
almost unbearable extortions. As soon
as Senator Clark undertook to put
through an Independent line, starting
in Utah and Nevada, the whole gang
rof millionaires jumped on him with
both feet. They fought him In the
states of Montana, Nevada and Utah,
in the United States senate and on
Wall street. But Clark has persisted
and is likely to get his line through.
If, when the other gang find that they
can't beat him, they don't turn around
and form a combination with him,
the thing will result in great relief to
the people of half a dozen states.
The party, by defying and violating
the anti-trust law, has allowed capital
to combine and wealth to accumulate
in the hands of the few until the power
that accompanies money is greater
than the power of the people. For
tunes under republican rule have in
some cases grown so great that the
owners of them cannot even spend or
find investment for their interest, while
the owners of these fortunes refuse to
pay their share of taxes and throw
the burden of protecting their great
accumulations of wealth upon the
wage-working and poor.
Under the republican rule the profits
of banking have grown so great that
one bank declared a dividend of 1,900
per cent and several others have made
dividends running up into the hun
dreds.
Under republican rule railroads have
been allowed to violate law and go into
combinations that leave whole cities,
communities and states at their mercy.
One can be favored and another de
pressed, an instance being at Omaha
where a discrimination against that
city is made of $16 a car on grain.
Under republican rule the nation has
been forced to abandon the foundation
principles upon which the government
was founded, and an empire has been
made out of a free republic, in which
class distinctions are more clearly
marked than in any monarchy of the
old world. These are part of the things
and only part that the republican par
ty has done.
WHAT THEY HATE DONE
There are some things that the re
publican party has done that it will be
well to remember. They have denied
the wage-worker a trial by jury by
introducing the system of issuing in
junctions. If a thing can be legally
done by a workman, the judge has no
right to forbid by injunction. If it is
illegal then the culprit should be ar
rested and given a trial by jury. The
anarchist that shot the president will
not be denied a trial by jury, but the
protection that the law gives to the
anarchist is denied by the republican
party to the wage-worker.
When a man extends one hand in
friendship, shoots with the other to kill
and then declares that he did his duty,
it is evident that this country is no
place for him or for any one who
does not denounce the deed. If there
is any place at all for such creatures
on all of God's green earth it is be
hind prison walls where society will
be safe from their deeds of murder.
Several papers are asking how can
anarchy be so defined in a law making
it treasonable or criminal to advocate
it and at the same time preserve the
liberties and freedom of speech without
which no free government can exist.
We don't want to define it. What is
wanted is a law that will confine every
person behind prison walls who advo
cates murder. That will get rid of the
whole crew.
To relieve the intense anxiety suf
fered by Brother Rosewater lest "the
democrats swallow the pops" which by
his writings seems to cause him many
sleepless nights, The Independent
wishes to say that the democrats can't
do It The ciganization of the pop
ulist party will be miiuiined In Ne
braska without a brfttk in any county
ia the state. As long as there is a
Dave Hill, Cleveland or Whitney left in
the democratic party, populism will re
fuse to be swallowed. We hope ht
this plain statement will be a great
comfort to the editor of the Bee and
that he will cease to toss restlessly
upon his bed, dreading the awful
calamities that will follow the swal
lowing of the pops by the democrats.
The bouts between the World-Herald
and the Bee are sometimes very unin
teresting to people outside of Omaha,
but the last one interests the whole
state. As soon as the republican con
vention passed the resolution demand
ing that republican treasurers show
up what funds they had on hand and
where they were deposited, the World
Herald let loose on Stuefer. The Bee
began on the democratic treasurer of
Douglas county. The democrat imme
diately published a report covering all
the time he has been in office showing
how much money he had on hand at
the end of each month and where de
posited. But the republican state treas
urer refuses to comply with the orders
of its party. Rosewater shows that he
can boss the state convention, but the
republican state treasurer is too much
for him.
Rosewater is again very sorrowful.
He has discovered and made public
a new plan of "the democrats to swal
low the pops." He finds the beginning
of it in the meeting of the committee
of the whole held by the fusionists of
Lancaster county. As a true friend of
the populist party he gives : full pub
licity to the facts and issues a solemn
warning. No one can doubt that Roes

The Brooklyn Eagle says: "We are
glad we never wrote a yellow editorial
to the effect that law is a bloody
shame, that a man who works with
his hands should rightly be killed by a
man" who works with his mouth, that
sweat of jaw is better than sweat of

it never had any sympathy with a man
like the one, who, under the present
circumstances, would Write like that
He' is one of those who never did a
day's work causing the "sweat of the

an editorial of the kind that he depre

only, that such writings have appeared,
but this journalistic skunk would
have his . readers believe that . such

those who have not believed in the

that the assassin might turn out to be

classed with our patriots. Our second
hope, if not a Filipino, that he might
turn out to be an irresponsible crazy
man. Our thiril hope was that if
neither a Filipino nor insane, that he
might turn out to be a foreigner from
some country over the sea with not a

ready to play the blood-hound and
will track and trace the doings of their
opposing party while at the same time
they will whitewash and pass over the
same thing and even much worse
things in their own party. It is the
chief party rule to cover up the cussed
ness of their own party and to lay bare
everything that looks dark in the op
posing party. The scheme to count
in the supreme judge amendment was
one of the blackest things the fusion
ists undertook to do. The fact that
the republicans accomplished a sim
ilar trick a few years before was no
excuse for an honest party to try the
same game. Then the turning out of
those Omaha members was a foolish
move and for an unjust purpose. Such
action for the sole purpose of increas
ing the fusion majority had a bad
odor. Then worst of all was the tak
ing of the home for the friendless out
of the hands of the women.- They were
running the institution for less money,
according to the number of inmates,
than the men were any other state in
stitution. Then they were paying about
one-fourth of all the running expenses
out of the money willed and trlvpn tn
them by benevolent people. Bequests
wouia nave increased had the institu
tion been left under the control of the
women. They had alreadv run nn tn
many thousands of dollars. Then the
care they exercised for the homeless
orphan children has seldom been
equalled. Adopted homes wore found
for hundreds of children and thn
scores of women's eyes and ears were
open to see that they were kinvlly
treated. These, with several other
mistakes., were what decimated tho
party. It does not send a cold chill
up our back to have the republicans
scrutinize the secretary's a"nd oil In
spector's records. We hope they will
go through the whole four years' rec
ord just as the fusionists went through
theirs. The safest administration is
when the two parties are so near equal
ly balanced that the changing of a few
votes changes government control
from one party to the other.
