The board knowledge of economics
and kea insight into financial affairs
that the editors of great dallies some
tiases display is somewhat astonishing-
fryn bought out a paper that
was a tout to suspend for the sum of
fit dollars. Immediately the economic
and financial writers of the "sound
money" pipers announced that Bryan
had formed a newspaper trust and was
mak!g himself the head and director
cf the worst octopus that eTer affile! ed
the American people. When this edi
tor carets St. Peter at the gate and
telia him that his occupation on earth
forced him to read many columns of
republican editorials, if the saint is
the sort of a man that he is repre
sented to l-e. he will say:- "Walk ia
nd take a seat high up among the
angels. Yea hare already suffered
more than the torments of the damned.
There is no purgatory for you."

country and etery effort made by the
fusion forces of the state to stop that
ort cf robbery has met with the bit-t-r
hottllity of the republican news-!
papers and the leaders cf the repub
lican party. The boodle that these
thlees thought they could force out
of the people of this city was so big
tfcit the robbers hare quarrelled
among themselves and one of them is
sulcg the others for his share. The
'.a:a statement is made in the papers
that the stock has been watered to an
enormous extent. As this town has
!out republican majority always
stacdirg up for the trusts, it is no
wonder that these men thought that
such mullet head ground would give
them a rich hanrest. If an effort were
made for the city to take charge of
the plant and furnish light and fuel
gas for one-tenth what they now pay,
tiice-tenths of them would vote against
it. That is the quality of brains that
is hld ia the skulls of republican ma-X-rules.
A lady writes a letter to The Inde
pendent in which she ears that a judge
and two lawyers forced her to commit
jrjury. She says that she was sworn
to "tell the truth, the whole truth and
nothing but the truth," and that she
esdearored to keep her oath, but the
J'adge. and the lawyers would not let
her. She was only permitted to tell
part of the tru!h and not the whole
truth, that when she persisted In en
deavoring to do so, she was stopped
and the, judge threatened to commit
br for contempt. She feels certain
that if she had been permitted to tell
the whole truth -and not part of it
ccly, that the Jury would hate brought
in' different verdict, She was only
permitted to answer such questions
as the lawyers askea and they did not
ask questions that would bring out the
whole truth. She thinks "that some
thing ought to be done to that Judge
and those two lawyers for forcing her
to commit perjury. Ail The Indepen
dent can say Is that such things some
times do happen in our courts, but the
, lady need not feel conscience-stricken.

Hardy's Column
Party Criticism The Seven - Ancient
Wonders.
The republican head leaders, ora
tors and editors try hard to hinge the
assassination of President McKinley
onto the Bryan party. They never
dare to quote a word that Bryan ever
spoke or wrote. They blame the party
as a whole for discussing or criticising
the administration of the McKinley
party. Never a word has been said
asalnst the personal character of Mr.
McKinley. save only his changes or
speech upon important public Ques
tions. Several times he talked on one
side of a question and in less than ten
years he talked on the other side. The
republicans better not complain of
Bryan men for abusing leading re
publicans, for they, themselves, have
talked and written tea times meaner
things about Bryan and his followers
and their political doctrine advocated.
The New York Tribune is considered
one of the sweetest-mouthed republi
can journals in the United States, with
nothing yellow mixed in. We give be
low a short editorial which appeared
in the Tribune just after the presi
dential election in 1836. In speaking
of Bryan's nomination and the mil
lions of votes he received, the Tribune
said:
"The thing was conceived in iniqu
ity and was brought forth in sin. It
had its origin in a malicious conspir
acy against the honor and integrity of
the nation. It gained such monstrous
growth as it enjoyed from an assid
uous culture of the basest passions of
the least worthy members of the com
munity. It has been defeated and de
stroyed because right Is right and God
is God. Its nominal head was worthy
of the cause. Nominal, because the
wretched, rattle-pated boy, posing in
rapid vanity and mouthing resound
ing rottenness, was not the real leader
of the league of hell. He was' only a
puppet in the blood imbued hand of
the anarchist and the revolutionist
and other desperadoes of that stripe.
But he was a willing puppet, Bryan
was. willing and eager. Not one of his
masters was more apt tiran he at lies,
forgeries and blasphemies and all the
nameless iniquities of that campaign
against the Ten Commandments. He
goes down with the cause, ana must
abide with it in the history of in
famy." Now who should complain if we take
such an editorial as our guiding star.
No nurer. spotless personal character
can be found today on the face of the
earth than that of W. J. Bryan. 1 aise
statements cannot be traced to his
tongue or pen. Neither party had per
sonal mud to sling as when Blaine and
Cleveland ran. It is not a very sure
indication that Bryan and his cause
have gone down in infamy while two
republican presidents stand up and
talk against tariff and trusts just as
he does. Bryan still lives and ho wor
ries the millionaire republicans more
than any other hundred men.
Away back in the dark ages, two or
three thousand years ago, they had
what was known as seven world won
ders, but one of which stands today
and but two or three were of any util
ity. Two were temples for heathen
worship and one a light tower on a
small island near tho mouth of the
River Nile and all the rest were built
for vain glory. The temple of Jupi
ter, at Athens, was undoubtedly the
most extensive buildings of the age.
Large buildings in those days were
built more like high fences with an
open unroofed space in the center. The
most wonderful part of this temple
was its two hundred stone columns,
seventy feet high, six feet in diam
eter, each of one solid block of gran
ite. Next to the stone columns was,
the statue of Jupiter which was also,
of stone, Jupiter was a fabled god
and counted the father or. god of all
other Greek gods. They gave him the
credit of running the lightning and
thunder, the wind and storm and to
hold under his control the big ma
chinery of the universe. There were
scores of leper gods which the Greeks
worshipped. When Paul visited Ath
ens idols and images were, more num
erous in temples and on the public
streets than men.
The other temple that attracted the
world's attention was that of the
goddess of Diana, at Ef esus in Asia
Minor. Her temple, though less in
size, was . more beautiful and more
richly ornamented. Diana was the
fabled wife of Jupiter and run the do
mestic machinery of the world. Paul
put in his work here, too, ruined the
silver god makers business and turned
their idolatry upside down, as in
Athens. Such temples would not be
much of a wonder today. , The new
St. Paul church in Lincoln would out
rank them.
The most useful ancient wonder was
the Egyptian high tower, located on a
small island near the. mouth of the
Nile. The name of the island was
Taros. The tower was two hundred
feet high, about half the height of the
Washington monument. A fire was
kept burning on top, which served as
a beacon to Mediterranean sailors.
The Colossus of Rhodes was a
brazen image of a man standing one
foot on each side of the entrance to
the small Grecian harbor of. Rhodes.
It was about a hundred feet high, built
of sheats of . brass riyited. together.
There was an inside ladder up which
visitors could climb and look out upon
the sea through its eyes. It was of
no utility. An earthquake toppled it
over and it was sold for old brass.
The hanging garden of Babylon was
another useless wonder. It did not
hang at all, 'hut was supported by
masonry. The sides were terrassed
from bottom to top. Some ancient
writers deny that there ever was any
such thing. Others say that it was
built by Nebuchhaduezer to please one
of his queens who was reared in the
mountains. There are many gardens
in Nebraska more wonderful.
The Mansoleum of Halicarnossus, in
Asia Minor, erected by Queen Arte
mesia to the memory of he,r dead hus
band was another ancient wonder. In
size and form it resembled the Doug
lass mounment in Chicago. The carv
ings were wonderful. Dogs, cattle,
horses and wild animals were carved.
It cannot be said that the memory of
our illustrious dead is worthless. The
memory of Washington, Jefferson-and
Lincoln will ever have a refining and
elevating influence upon this nation.
The seventh and last of the ancient
wonders was tlie pyramids of Egypt.
After, three thousand years of torrid
sun and drifting sand they still stand;
all the other six have faded and gone.
There are some sixty or seventy of
them, big and little. Their utility has
not been discovered unless they were
the tombs of kings and other noted
persons. All a great labor of fool
ishness. Next week we will write
about some of the modern useful
wonders.

Frank has gone and got married. It

LEAVE ORDERS FOR TUNING AND REPAIRING WITH US
England Long Ago Violated and Repu
diated th Clayton-Bulwer and Now
Wants to R.vivejt
Editor Independent: The time for,
congress to-meet. is approaching and
the republican diplomats of the Asso
ciated press are at work. On October
7th they say, "that Great Britain con
sents to abrogate the Clayton-Bulwer
treaty without any consideration at all
in return," while on the 8th of October
they say, "that Great Britain holds all
rights and does not back down at all
in its contentions that the Nicaragua
canal must be -a neutral water-way,"
and much more of (the same sort.
I think I can say without fear of
successful contradiction that the Am
erican people 1 ar6 utterly disgusted
with Great Britain coptests over In
America., True, . .ourt department , of
state has been hood-winked in the
Alaska business, notwithstanding the
fact that monuments of the Russian
survey under which we obtain title,
are yet "to be found east of Dawson,
but if I mistake not, the people will
not tolerate a repetition of such un
American diplomacy in Central Am
erica. A treaty was concluded in 1850 be
tween the United; States and Great
Britain "in relation to a ship canal by
way of Central America and for other
purposes," but Great Britain has long
since forfeited all rights under that
treaty and she has no claims under it
that the United States is bound to re
spect, inasmuch as she has violated
most flagrantly the terms of the con
vention relative to such a ship canal
treaty. -
Article 1 of said convention, among
other things, says: "The governments
of the United States and Great Britain
hereby declare that neither the one,
nor. the other, will ever assume, or ob
tain, or exercise any dominion, or for
tify, or colonize any part of Central
America."
Great Britain has assumed, fortified
and exercised dominion over a part of
Honduras, known as the Balize or Brit
ish Honduras, and is there today as
sovereign. She has therefore violated
the treaty and I may add, with pre
meditation and malice aforethought,
in view of any possible clash over the
proposed inter-oceanic waterway. Why
the United States has permitted Great
Britain to remain a sovereign in Cen
tral - America Dasses all comprehen
sion. It is possible that by our neg
lect to make her leave the premises
long since, we have lost the right to
object to her present occupancy; but
it is evident that a halt has to be called
and that promptly.
The stAte department has managed
during the last few years to set up as
if it were a branch office of the foreign
office in Downing street, just as Wall
street is to Lombard street, but that
kind of thing cannot go on forever.
Whether some southern politician, who
played in the hands of the" British
when United States commissioner in
Paris a few years ago, is now playing
in the hands of Hay in this Nicaragua
canal matter is a question that might
be looked into, inasmuch as no canal
is possible so long as this diplomatic
tangle is on; and it is just as plain as
A B C that Great Britain wants no
canal in America for the reason that
it would cripple her Suez canal to a
very dangerous extent; especially
since the map of the world has been
changed in the orient during the last
three years.
America is bound to have a canal
whether Great Britain wills it or not
and the moment is opportune for
President Roosevelt to show what stuff
he Is made, of. Has he the nerve, and
he is nervy ; has he the patriotism to
call a halt? I believe the Hay-Paunce-fote
combination will have to go.

Permission to Land a Cable on
American Territory Wants Gov
ernment to Build and Control the
Line.
Representative Corliss of Michigan
called at the White House, says the
Washington correspondent of the Phil
adelphia Ledger, for the special pur
pose of protesting against granting to
any private company or corporation the
privilege of landing a cable on the
western shore of the United States or
on the shores of the Hawaiian, Phillp-
Sine or other island possessions of the
inlted States in the orient. Previously
application had been made by parties
representing the Postal Telegraph and
Commercial Cable companies, at the
head of which is John W. Mackay, for
permission to land cables, the intention
being to construct a cable across the
Pacific ocean connecting the United
States -with its island possessions In the
orient. It is claimed that the executive
department can legally grant such per
mission without the Intervention of
congress, and the president referred the
matter to the departments of state and
Justice for examination as "to his au
thority In the premises. The objection
of Mr. Corliss is not personal to the
parties making the application, but is
general, being based on the ground that
the government should construct, ex
clusively control and operate the ca
ble. Mr. Corliss was a member of the
house interstate committee, which re
ported a bill at the last session of con
gress for constructing a Pacific cable,
and joined In a minority report advo
eating the construction of the proposed
cable by the government.
The attention of the president was
called to this report by Mr. Corliss in
his interview. He believes that had
the matter been taken up by the house
the views of the minority would have
been adopted and that the substitute
bill providing for construction and con
trol by the United States -would have
received affirmative action. "The right
to construct a cable connecting this
country with our new possessions,"
said Mr. Corliss, "is a special priv
ilege belonging to the people and can
only be conveyed by an act of. con
gress." He read to the president por
tions of the minority report against
granting any company or private cor
poration the privilege of constructing
a cable between this country and its
island possessions and alleged that any
company to whom the exclusive priv
ilege should be , granted to construct
and operate a cable would become a
monopoly which would prey alike upon
the government and the people who
would be compelled to do business with
it Mr. Corliss claimed that Great
Britain achieved commercial suprema
cy by purchasing or constructing ocean
cables and canals. He believes the
proposed cable can be built for about
$8,000,000. General Greely estimated
that it could be constructed for $10,
000,000, and Rear Admiral Bradford
made a similar estimate.
The question of public ownership and
.control was fully considered by the
house committee that had charge of the
matter, and . comprehensive reports
were made In the three last congresses
on every feature of It. At the last ses
sion public hearings were held by the
committee, at which representatives of
the army and navy attended and to
which they contributed the results of
their study of the cost and practicabili
ty of construction. These gentlemen
generally favored government owner
ship, but a majority of the committee
reported a bill for private ownership,
subject to certain conditions fayorable
to the carrying of government busi
ness, control of the cable in time of
war and a material reduction of pres
ent rates charged both for public and
private messages.
Some of the disadvantages of a gov-
ernment cable were pointed out by the
committee. It was urged that the origi
nal cost would reach $15,000,000, that
It would require $1,500,000 annually for
maintenance, that the government
would not be able to land and operate
its own cable in China and Japan and
that therefore Its Income "would be
limited to traffic to and from the Ha
waiian and Philippine Islands, which
would not exceed perhaps $150,000 per
annum against an annual expenditure
of $1,500,000 for maintenance. The ma
jority contended that a private corpo
ration would give the United States all
the advantages of a government owned
line for official business in time of
peace or war at a fixed charge and
without risk to the government, the
corporation raising the entire cost of
construction for a sum not to exceed
$300,000 per annum for twenty years
and a rate thereafter to be fixed by
the postmaster general.

From the first inception of his work
in this state, Mr. Andrews has been
the victim of the republican liars and
finally has been compelled to issue a
statement specifically denying that in
a lecture on veracity at the University
of Chicago, he taught under certain
circumstances that lying was justifi
able, and, second, that in private con
versation he had defended anarchy
and anarchists. The republican party
of Nebraska is guilty of stealing the
permanent school funds, :.ad electing
the man who got the money as United
States senator, uf electing a governor
who tried to cripple the finances of the
state university by vetoing the appro
priation of taxes already levied, and
of slandering the able and accom
plished head of ' our educational sys
tem. Any person in-Nebraska claim
ing to be interested in public education
who votes a republican state ticket
does not practice what he preaches.

A Mistaken Idea
The populists have sometimes been
called socialists. While some of their
theories do tend toward socialism they
are far from socialists. A" cardinal
principle of populism is that wealth
should belong to; him who creates it.
The socialist would not listen to this
at all. .He would at once take it away
from the creator and bestow it upon
the community at large, or the government.-
-
The populists, however, do believe
in the public ownership of public util
ities, such as the railroads, the tele
graph, the express business, etc' . JBut
this can hardly be taken as such a
peculiarity as to entitle him to a high
place among cranks, seeing that, since
he commenced advocating his Ideas,
many wise and conservative people in
all parties have adopted them.
We also have a very good example
of the practical application of these
ideas in the postofficei This is a great
industry which is absolutely owned
and controlled by the government. No
one will dispute that it is better so,
than it would be If a private corpora
tion controlled it and was permitted
to charge "all the traffic will stand."

How Careless
He asked his love to marry him,
by letter she replied;..
He read her firm refusal,
Then shot himself and died.
He might have been alive today4
And she his happy bride,
If he had read the postscript
Upon the other side.
