The Independent denounces such talk: as viflcas an 4 dangerous. It is untrue and enly give encouragement to the f.?w vi foreign anarchiits who are e&d to t-eliev that their murderous doctrines find support among a large body of American citizens. What greater encouragement could be given to anarchy? No such talk as that has ever been found in a populist paper. The encouragement of anarchy comes wholly from the republican press. Another corporation has gained a victory over the people of the state in the federal courts, a thing that the people are getting used to on account of its frequency. The Stock Yards company defeated the state. The court holds the law unconstitutional and re strains the putting of it into effect. Judge McPherson holds that the anti trust law involved the rights of par ties to make contracts. This reason would imply that all the laws that are now on the statute books, both- state and national, which interfere with the formation of trusts, are unconstitu tional. The republican party and the judges it has put upon the bench have got that far along since 1896. The Kansas City Star remarks: "Here is one of the jokes perpetrated by the Nebraska populist convention: 'We congratulate the republican party for adopting and putting into execu tion, so far as it has. populistic the ories of finance. " When some kind friend Informs the editor of the Star that there has been more silver coined jnder tho present administration than during the same length of time was t-ver coined under the Bland or Sher man act, and more paper money is fcued than conservative populists would have advised, he will prcbably come to the conclusion that it is a very serious sort of a joke and one that will have considerable influence with thinking men. Hardy's Column Seward and Grant, out of the way. Lin coln was killed, Seward, sick in bed, was badly cut up, but Grant was called away and did not attend the theatre as he was invited. Booth was to have shot Lincoln and Grant both in the box assigned them in the theatre. If . we remember rightly, Booth was shot by a soldier and two men and one woman were hung. In Garfield's time the re publicans were in a hard fight among themselves. Blaine had secured the appointment of a New York collector which was considered taking that duty out of the hands of Senators Conklin and Piatt. The two senators resigned, which made a big muss. A half idiot and half insane man shot - Garfield, thinking, that would-settle matters. There has been no excuse offered for killing McKinley. As yet republican papers and republican speakers lay the whole blame off onto Bryan and hi3 party. His discussion of the tariff question, trust question, money ques tion and expansion question has lead up to anarchy and anarchy culminated in the assassination of the president. After this the Bryan party, like a nest of young robins, must open their mouths wide, shut their eyes and swal low whatever the - republican leaders drop into their mouths. Instead of Bryan's advocacy of. self-goverqment for every people, in opposition - to de pendencies, republics in opposition to empires, leading up to anarchy the ad vocates of imperialism and govern ment of the weak by the strong has done it ten times , more. It is an old addage that there is always honor among thieves. So we might add that there is always a - love of Justice among anarchists. We were ashamed of some of the remarks of Strode and Lambertson at the funeral exercises last week. Doliver and several other republican leaders have not let them selves down quite so low. The assassination of President Mc Kinley brings to memory the assas sination of President Lincoln and President Garfield. There was a little more motive and grounds of excuse then than now. The most bloody war had been raging for four years. The north was fighting for national rights while the south was fighting for state rights and a right to secede. Simmered down, the question up for settlement was slavery extension or no slavery at alL The north had as much to do with the establishment of slavery at first as the south. They owned the most of the shipping and brought the most of the Africans over and sold them for slaves. When it was proposed to stop the slave trade, by law, New England fought the measure, and a compromise was finally agreed upon and the trade was continued until 1808, after that it was piracy to be caught with a cargo of slaves. Lincoln's proclamation abolished slavery en tire. The south lost in war more than the north, then the loss by Lincoln's proclamation was several hundred millions. They had about three mil lions of slaves and their average value was some three or four hundred dol lars each. Just then Richmond had surrendered and so had Lee's army. Johnson was being hard pressed by Sherman and was on the point of sur render. There was a conspiracy formed In Washington to put the three ty rants, as they called them, Lincoln, The Favorite Schiller Piano. The Le-t Piano made in America today for the price at which it is sold. The new high grade Schiller recently placed on the marke is one of the finest Pianos made at any price.

We reaffirm our allegiance to the principles contained in former plat forms. The immense coinage of silver and issue of a great amount of paper money through the banks, under a ie publican administration, together dth the increased output of gold, making large additions to the quantity of money in circulation, adopts, in the main, the principles of the independent party has always advocated, and the result is a demonstration of the cor rectness of those principles. We con gratulate the republican party ; for adopting and putting Into execution po far as it has, populist theories of fi nance; but we look for future disaster from the excessive amount of redeem able money issued by the banks. 2. A cardinal principle of the party is the improvement of the condition of the wage-worker and farmer. We favor the most liberal policy in state and national legislation designed to give the wage-earner a just share of the product of his toil and larger con trol of his time, and such as will in sure to the farmer a just, and edit able portion of the value of his yrod 3. The' trusts and "unlawful com binations now afflicting the country, of which, more have, been created since 1897 than in all the previous history of the United States, are the natural en emies of popular " government. They exact unjust tribute from", agriculture and labor, robv legitimate producers and consumers alike, stifle healthy competition, promote the lockout and the black-list, dominate our legislative assemblies, and attempt to write the opinions of our, courts; and we de mand such legislation as will drive them out of existence and again turn the currents of trade into their legiti mate channels. " - 4. We demand speedy and effectual legislation which will promote irriga tion in the. arid and semi-arid regions of our country, and a reasonable con struction of irrigation statutes now in force. . ' 5. Forest reservation should be ex tended, and such legislation be enacted as will promote economy in lumbering on public lands, , and produce an in crease in the supply of timber. 6. Anarchy is destructive of all just governments and we solemnly declare that there is no room in this country for those who believe in the sovereign ty of the derrenger and the dagger. 7. A wise -and just judiciary is the mainstay of a free people, and the last resort of the. individual citizen; and we affirm that our judges should be chosen on account of their learning and in tegrity, and not because of their party fealty. . . : r . 8. The success of the republican party of Nebraska was accompanied by such an increase in the freight rates of the railroads, that present rates are higher in this state today than they were ten years ago. A bill providing a moderate reduction in rates was in troduced in the last legislature, receiv ing the unanimous support of the fu sion membership; but that just meas ure was defeated by the republican par ty, by the use of corrupt means. .The same means were employed in defeat ing a bill that gave protection to the lives and limbs of employes of the railroads, stock yards and packing houses; and we denounce the corpor ation ridden republican party for the defeat of these needed reforms. The present attorney general has failed to discharge his duty by not prosecuting the penalty cases against' the various railways, and in attempting to dismiss some and unnecessarily delaying the trial of others; and we commend the supreme court in its determination to have such cases speedily disposed of on their merits. The present state ad- ministratioa has assessed railway property much lower than it was as sessed in the most corrupt period of that party's existence, and the railways by escaping their just share of taxa tion, will, this year alone, unjustly de prive the state of more revenue than the combined stealings of all the de faulting state officials heretofore. We demand that these corporations shall be compelled to pay their just propor tion of taxes and that a law providing for reasonable charges for the trans portation of persons and property by common carriers, and requiring rail ways to publish itemized statements of their receipts and expenditures shall be enacted.- The iniquitous system of railroad passes, telegraph, telephone and express franks, is an isidious form of bribery; and wre favor a law which will provide that, i when any public UCt, chairman and J.

The Puritans tried this plan two hundred years ago against witch craft. Even now it is used as a rem edy for negro outrages. Lynching of negroes has of late become so com mon as to be simply appalling, yet the only visible effects are a degradation of public sentiment and a terrible in crease in this class of crimes.

Prof. Starr called attention a while ago to the fact that some of the men who had engaged in this business were themselves getting frightened at their own work.

She has employed the most skillful detectives, spent money lavish ly, and brought all of her tremendous power to bear to destroy it. let ninii Among these articles is one by John Swinton, which The Independent takes pleasure in reproducing. It was as follows: -. '. . The most extraordinary and distinc tive mark of the social revolution ap peared at the opening of the steel officer shall accept such pass or frank, the office shall thereupon become va cant; and we require the nominees of this convention to pledge themselves that in the event of their election they will not accept or use such pass' or frank during their '" term of office. We call the attention of the peo ple of the state to the fact that more has been accomplished for agricultural and industrial education in two years of fusion control . of the state univer sity than was achieved in 25 years of republican management, of the land grant funds for agricultural colleges; and we condemn in strongest terms the veto of the republican governor, where by ?90,000 belonging to the university, for" the equipment, of the school of agriculture is withheld, either showing ignorance on the part of the governor, or wanton opposition to industrial edu cation; which action resulted in de priving farmers' sons of their educa tional rights, in order to deposit pub lic funds in favored banks." We renew our pledge made in 1899 that "we will use all resources within our power to build up agricultural education in Nebraska in the spirit of the laws of the national government, providing revenues for that purpose." We further call the attention of the people of Nebraska to the steadily de creasing income from the public school funds under republican control, as compared with the income from the' same sources under the management of the fusion party. 9. We call the attention of the vot ers of the state to the following perti nent facts: The legislature directed about $180,000 to be transferred from the general to the sinking fund, to make good losses In broken banks un der a republican administration. All that was necessary to be done was to make the requisite entry in the state treasurer's books. Instead of doing so, a republican state treasurer drew a warrant for that amount which was unlawfully sold to the Omaha National bank, indorsed by its president, and unlawfully sold to a bank in New York, the proceeds being placed to the pri vate account of said republican state treasurer. Without the indorsement of . the president of the Omaha Na tional bank, the warrant could not have been sold. The republican party demands a return of said state treas urer to the penitentiary, while it has promoted his co-laborer in this un lawful work, i 10. The faithful services of the re form press which has so nobly advo cated our principles should be gener ously remembered - by our people and every effort should be made to extend the circulation of such publications 11. We favor such amendments to the pure food law of the state and such improvement in its administration as will insure the consumer of foods against adulterated and counterfeit products, and which will sufficiently protect the producer against unfair competition by adulterated manufac-r tures. 12. We heartily indorse the able, patriotic and economical administra tion of the public business by the fu sion state officers. The state committee held its first meeting at the close of the convention and elected Charles Q.

I think all this trouble came from whooping cough, which I had when I was about twelve years old, and which deft me with ca tarrh. Since I have taken Peruna, my voice has been clearer than in over two years, all of which I am willing to tes tify to." Mr. Hammond's address ia "The Arlington," 64 Montague street, Brooklyn, N. Y.

Let the pale faced peo ple who are afraid that the country is to be ruined soon keep "politics" in mind. Salvation can be found at any time in politics. - It will be remembered that the slavery question, which bore upon morals, economics, the public liberties and human rights, got into politics, after it had been under debate for many years. It was settled by an election. ... And here it may be well to say some thing about the so-called "labor lead ers" of our time, for the information of the Philistines. Let no one do'ibt that there are strong men on. the labor side nowadays. As the workingmen's organizations of our country have in creased in number, membership, po tency and efficiency; as the question with which it is their business to deal have grown in importance, size and complexity"; as unionism has spread until it Is co-extensive with our repub lic; as the struggle between the con tending forces has become more se vere and resolute; as the danger sig nals have become more numerous and monitory; as the industrial and social transformation has more and more ef fected the community to the detriment of our old-time Americanism, it is evident that men of ability on the la bor side are more necessary than they were in the day of small things. The more competent men within the ranks are needed for service on that side. A union leader in our time ought to be a statesman, in the large sense, a man of action, ideas, knowledge and character, one who has an understand ing of the philosophy of the labor ques tion as it stands in our time and coun try. Now,. I am free to say after ming ling for a lifetime with men of all sorts and conditions, from Wall street to the Santee river and Pike's peak, that the workingmen's unions contain 'plenty of members whose mental cal ibre is equal to that of the more promi nent men in business, finance or af fairs. This remark may be offensive to the "Philistines, but it is made here for the instruction of those of them who think that all the horny-handed millions are blockheads. It is a fact of immeasurable im portance to the "magnates' that Call- ban is thinking, that his brains have beeen growing for some years, and that he is learning how things go in this world. It is a fact of solemn and sug gestive importance; for there is not money enough on earth to subdue mil lions of reasoning, intelligent, sagac ious, healthy and stalwart men. It has been through the ignorance of the masses that arbitrary men and pluto crats have gained their power. I shall mention no name of any of the strong men in the ranks who have here been referred to; suffice to say that they de sire no notoriety rent, which owes its existence entirely to the presence of the people and to nothing which the land owner nas done or can do let ground rent go into the public treasury where it belongs, and not be diverted into the private pockets of Astors and Lord Scullys. This would tax concerns like the steel trust with its thousands of - acres of unused ore lands, out of existence, and yet give to every concern, willing to manufacture steel and to share" its profits with the public, a chance to take and to use the ore which a merciful Father has provided for the use of all His children. Laws like these would abolish priv ilege, and, with privilege abolished, poverty, as a social problem, would dis appear. With the disappearance of poverty, anarchy; -and all other evils It" is possible that this curious fact may lead thoughtful people to believe that,- after all, there is in this country something i even ... stronger . and more Forest Reserves In Arizona.
