II AT the result of the Hanna
Foraker ficht in Ohio makes!
i. H Senator Marcus A. Hanna a
f strong candidate for the Itepub-
, lican presidential nomination
there can be no question. Indeed, at
xhis writing it looks as though Senator
Hanna and President Roosevelt would
be the chief wrestlers for the incom
parable prize. They may render the
fight so bitter and so fierce that some
third aspirant, such as Senator Fair
banks of Indiana or Senator Spooner of
Wisconsin or Uncle Shelby M. Culloin
of Illinois, may walk away with the
baggage wlile Marcus and Theodore
are engaged in the pleasant occupation
of killing each other off, but the gladi
ators who will monopolize public atten
tion until the nomination is actually
V made are unquestionably Hanna and
Roosevelt.
f The precedents favor the Ohioan. No
vice president who inherited a dead
president's shoes was ever elected pres
ident or even nominated by his party
for that high office, but precedents can
not be relied on implicitly. President
Roosevelt has been a precedent smash
er all his life and may be able to break
the one above referred to. He is young,
vigorous, capable, courageous, learned
and many sided. Moreover, he is
young young enough to be the son of
Senator Hanna and this youthfulness
will appeal strongly to young Repub
licans who are ex necessitate more ac
tive than their elders.
Senator Hanna has his great national
machine somewhat weakened by Mc
Kinley's death, but still the most pow
erful in the land. President Roosevelt
is building him a machine as rapidly as
possible, and three years hence it may
Vwi oa nntant n a ITnnnn'o A anv rata
A it will be potent enough to put up a
4 great fight, and it may be safely pre
dicted that the iianna-iiooseveit fight
will be historic and ruinous to the Re
publican party. As a consequence of
that fight we stand to win, a consum
mation devoutly to be wished.
Hanna In a New Light.
One thing is absolutely certain, how
ever, and that is that Senator Hanna
is a much larger and more command
ing figure than he was before he lock
ed horns with Senator Foraker and
got away with most of the spoils. 1
?know that it is not partiality that in-
fiuences my opinion. In that contest
I was in tlie same frame of mind as
was the estimable spouse of the man
engaged in a life and death tussle with
a bear when she shouted: "Go it, hus
band! Go it, boar!" But it is simple
truth to say that that fight caused
Senator Hanna to grow in public esti
mation. It had been so often asserted
that Hanna shone by a reflected light
from President McKinley and would
now shrink and shrivel to very small
proportions that most men had come
to believe it. It is said that an open
confession is good for the soul, and I
believed it myself, but last month Sen
ator Hanna, without any assistance
from the national administration, en
tered into a fight with Senator Fora
ker in the Foraker year and more
than held his own. Henceforth it
must be admitted that nanna had
strength of his own, and all Republic
' an statesmen who are nursing presi
dential booms and boomlets may as
well take due notice of the fact and
govern themselves accordingly.
Rushing Things.
The manner in which the Republic
ans rush things through the house is
an outrage on common sense and or
dinary decency and has a direct tend
ency to degrade the house, to mini
mize its influence and to exalt the sen
ate. As a fair example of the unseem
ly haste with which t'hings are rail
roaded thrnnrrh th firms ltr it tint ho
forgotten that the Philippine tariff bill
Zy was debated only six hours, a bill di
II rectly affecting the happiness and
prosperity of 8,000,000 or 10,000,000 Fi
lipinos and indirectly the happiness
and prosperity of 70,000,000 Ameri
cans. Even so distinguished a debater
as Hon. Charles E. Littlefield of Maine
was reduced to the necessity of speak
ing one minute and "extending his re
marks in The Record." It may be truly
said that no bill is adequately debated
or considered in the house. Bill after
bill full cf crudities is rushed through
and sent over to the senate "with a1'
its imperfections on its head." Of
jM course the senate considers and de-
jr uates tnese Dins ana senas tnem DacK

to the house greatly disfigured by nu
merous amendments or entirely trans
mogrified by, substitutes, and, as a
rule, the house yields to the senate's
wish. Every time that performance is
repeated the senate gains in both in
fluence and importance, while the
bouse sinks lower and becomes of less
fonsequence.
There is no excuse for such haste
and recklessness. They have the quo
rum counting rule, which greatly expe
dites business when business needs ex
pediting, and the previous question
with which to close debate when de
bate ought to be closed. Therefore bills
ought to be adequately debated and
legislation perfected In the house of
epresentatives fresh from the people.
:'$Xop Heavy.' ' ' :r, v s
To those who observe the happenings
this mundane sphere sign are not
wanting to indicate that the trusts are
becoming top heavy and will fall of
their own weight. So mote it be. Over
capitalization is getting in its deadly
work. The copper trust and the as
phalt trust are fine illustrations of this.
Copper shares dropped from $130 to
$C0 and asphalt shares from $90 to $28
with a suddenness that made holders'
teeth rattle took away their breath
and brought the bankrupisr court into
view. This asphalt concern was a huge
swindle from the very start, being cap
italized for five or six times what it
was worth. The suckers bit and were
caught. It's busted.
Flunkydom.
The flunkies and tuft hunters in
Washington have evolved a brand new
idea out of their inner consciousness.
It is to have created a new office, that
of "master of ceremonies" for all state
occasions and social functions! We are
progressing on the royal path of life,
don't you know. Next thing we know
some snob will be auvocating "a mas
ter of the hounds," "a groom of the
presidential posset," "a keeper of the
robes," etc. We must keep up with
the aristocratic procession, don't you
know. I have no idea who would be
appointed "master of ceremonies" if
that office were created, but I do know
that he would need to Incase himself
In armor plate and have his hair fas
tened to his scalp with the best glue
when he undertook to arrange matters
of precedent among the society ladies
of the finest capital in the world. The
uneasiness of the head that wears a
crown wouldn't be a marker to the un
easiness of his caput when he. under
took to declare whether Mrs. Nouveau
Riche should contemplate the back hair
of Mrs. Veneering, or vice versa, at
some social function. Straws show
which way the wind blows, and the
fact that anybody has the gall to sug
gest the creation of such an office as
"master of ceremonies" shows what a
hold the codfish aristocracy is getting
in the capital of "the land of the free
and the home of the brave." If these
blooming aristocrats, half of whom
can't write a grammatical sentence or
"spell baker," had their way, we would
soon be kotowing to public officials
like a lot of Chinese, but the hard
headed, common sense Americans are
not ready for that, and the office will
not be created.
Friction.
From faraway Manila comes the
mournful intelligence that friction ex
ists betwixt the civil and military au
thorities. ' Governor Taft and General
Chaffee are not dwelling together in
unity. On the contrary, they are at
loggerheads. Not to put too fine a
point on it, "confusion worse confound
ed" exists in the Philippines, for which,
like a set of consummate idiots, we
paid Spain twenty millions. We would
have done much better to have thrown
the money into the sea and to have
told the Filipinos to go free. Governor
Taft wants the military forces with
drawn from many places, but General
Chaffee, being, like Sir Robert Walpole,
avaricious of power, wants to hold on
to all he has and to get more under his
control. In short, he wants to be "it;"
hence the friction.
The Kaiser.
For four or five years a lot of ram
rant anglomaniacs in this country have
been doing their level best to stir up
strife between the United States and
Germany and in order to help the fus3
along have invented and propagated
all sorts of silly lies about what the
Germans were saying and doing to in
jure us, and these mischievous liars
knew that they were lying and knew
that the Germans were going ahead,
attending strictly to their own affairs
and letting us. severely alone. What
these anglomaniacs were really trying
to do was to line us up on the side of
England should England and Germany
get into a war, but so far they have
failed in their efforts to make trouble
between Germany and the United
States, and let us hope that they will
continue to fail. There is no reason
why Germany and the United States
should be enemies, and there are many
reasons why they should be friends,
the chief bond of connection being the
millions of men and women who were
once German citizens, but who are now
American citizens and who love both
the land of their birth "der vater-
land" and the land of their adoption.
A new proof of the good feeling for
the United States which the Germans
entertain is found in the invitation
which the German kaiser, William of
Hoheuzollern, has recently extended
to Miss Alice Roosevelt, daughter of
the president, to' christen his new
yacht. It was a most gracious and
graceful thing for the kaiser to do and
will undoubtedly go very far toward
bringing Germany and the United
States into closer relations. It is to
be hoped that Miss Alice will accept
the unusual invitation if for no other
reason than to put to shame the mali
cious marplots who have been striv
ing to align us with Great Britain and
against Germany.
President Castro of Venezuela is also
making a grave mistake as to our at
titude toward Germany; If he is de
pending on the Monroe doctrine to
help hlro. out in his quarrel with the
German emperor, be is on! his box, for
the Monroe doctrine was never intend
ed as a bar to the collection of an hon
est debt, and that's precisely what the
kaiser Is trying to doto collect a large
debt due from the Venezuelan govern
ment to German citizens who put their
good money into a mountain railroad
in Venezuela in the faith that the Ven
ezuelan government would keep its
promise to pay principal and interest.
Castro is nothing but a bloody and
cruel usurper. It would riot do any
harm if the kaiser gave him a good
thrashing.
In Deadly Peril.
Actor si, as a rule, are given great li
cense to play pranks and take liberties
with persons and things, but I fear
that the amiable and delightful come
dian, Francis Wilson, has laid himself
liable to a prosecution for leze majes
ty. The other night at Washington,
with the president in a box, Mr. Wil
son had the gall to sing a song whose
refrain ran as follows:
Perhaps he wasn't in command,
But he fought to beat the band,
And he ought to have a tablet in the
Hall of Fame.
Of course he referred to Schley. The
audience caught on and stood up to
howl its delight. Now, that was sim
ply awful. Teddy looked grim and
made no sign; but, like the Irishman's
owl, he probably kept up "a divil of a
thinking." Schley's popularity cannot
be killed by Teddy or anybody else.
Feel Encouraged.
That Democrats feel encouraged is
demonstrated by various happenings.
Quite recently Senator Joseph Weldon
Bailey of Texas in what appears to be
a carefully considered interview declar
ed for Hon. Arthur Pue Gorman of
Maryland and gave reasons for the
faith he has within him. A day or two
after that Uncle Adlai E. Stevenson,
once vice president of the United
States, was interviewed in Chicago and
inter alia said:
A happy new year is Just beginning for
the Democratic party. I believe the next
twelve months will see the party on its
feet again and able to present an unbro
ken front to the foe. The next president
will be a Democrat. All this talk about
our lacking an Issue for the next national
campaign is sheer nonsense. We could
not ask for a stronger issue than the
tariff. The Republicans do not seem to
realize the Importance of this issue or the
widespread opposition to their policy.
The open protests voiced by newspapers
within the Republican ranks show which
way the wind is blowing.
Uncle Adlai's words are likely to be
read far and wide, as he was P. O.
headsman during Cleveland's first ad
ministration, and the boys in the
trenches dearly love a Democratic
headsman.
Re enter Thomas Henry Carter.
Madam Rumor hath it that ex-Senator
Thomas Henry Carter of Montana
may enter President Roosevelt's cabi
net. If he does, Teddy will have at
least one brilliant after dinner speaker
in his official family as brilliant as
Postmaster General Charles Emory
Smith, which is saying a good deal.
Then, Carter has the gift of physical
endurance. It will be remembered
that he defeated the river and harbor
bill which- was of so much importance
to the west by speaking for thirteen
and ( one-half hours. He probablv
would be speaking yet if the Fifty
sixth congress and Carter's term had
not both expired at high noon March
4, 1901.
Greatly Missed.
When John M. Allen of Mississippi
"Private John" concluded to quit
coming to congress, the house lost one
of its chief attractions. His reputa
tion is that of a humorist, but some
times his humor burned like caustic
and answered a better purpose than
logic and learning and eloquence com
bined. It was during the Cleveland adminis
tration that "Private" John Allen made
his famous reply to the equally famous
speech of Congressman- Boutelle of
Maine. President Cleveland had de
cided to allow the captured Confeder
ate battleflags to be returned to the
different states whence they came.
Boutelle made a masterful address on
the subject. He reminded his hearers
of all the notable Federal victories and
ended in a blaze of glory as he painted
by word of mouth the final surrender.
When Boutelle took his seat, he had so
far carried his hearers away that those
in the gallery and the Republican mem
bers of the house .burst forth into
cheers.
Suddenly from the Democratic side
was heard the calm, soothing tones of
John Allen as he said, "Mr. Speaker."
He told of his joining the southern
cause and following one of the flags
about which the discussion arose.
"When it was all over," he said, "I
started back home. I was barefooted,
nearly naked and without money. 1
concluded to walk. I trudged along
for a day or so when a man I knew
lent me a mule. When I was about
four miles from home, I decided to
leave the main road I was traveling
and go by another route and sneak in
the back way. I had gone only a little
distance when I saw an old man, a
fellow townsman, sitting on a raij
fence.
" 'Well, John, I see you are back,' he
said.
" 'Yes, Uncle Zeb,' I answered.
" 'Did they lick us, John?'
44 'Yes, Uncle Zeb. They licked us
plenty too.'
44 'Freed the niggers too?'
" 'Yes, they freed the niggers.'
"The Old man got down off the fence
and, after he had thoroughly stretched
out all his kinks, he said:
" 'John, I don't mind being licked ao
much, and I can stand the niggers be-
ingfree, but, John, the worst part of
it all Is that in about thirty years some
durned fool will throw it up to us.' "

Likes and Dislikes
Editor Independent: The reason
why I like The Nebraska Independent
is because of the dauntless cotntage
of the editor.
Because the Declaration of Inde
pendence is its shield and standard.
Because it strikes often and digs
deep down, unearthing republican mis
rule and rottenness.
Because it holds that corporate mil
lions, the trusts, to be a menace to
liberty, and to the perpetuity of the
nation. That they oppress the poor,
destroy brotherhood and tend to
deaden the finer sensibilities of the
American people.
Because it opposes government by
Injunction.
Because it is American in every line
and sentence.
Because it teaches lessons of liberty
and equal justice to all.
With permission of the editor I will
say why I don't like The Nebraska
Independent:
Because it advocates government by
party.
Because, having eyes to see and
brains to understand, that this pres
ent bastard, imperial government of
greed, rottenness and misrule is the
legitimate outgrowth of government by
party, and has failed to come squarely
out, acknowledge the corn, and put in
sledge hammer blows for direct legis
lation and government by the people.
Because, in advocating fusion with
the democratic party, it holds that
two dead carcasses equal one live ox.
Because it has not called the atten
tion of the people's greatest defender,
William J. Bryan, to the scriptural
truth "that a house divided ngainst
itself cannot stand," and -that the
democratic house did so divide and
down she went. The question presents
itself, Should a wise mariner remain
with a hopeless wreck?
The old democratic ship, once the
patriot's pride, now fathoms deep in
the putred waters of the political sea,
cast down by piratical traitors' hands.
Yes, there she lies, the chosen target
of Britainized knaves, shattered and
torn, without rudder or sail, and her
crew scattered to the four winds.
Since supporting St. John, I have
termed myself an independent voter.
Opposed to the gold standard and
commercial greed, I, in '96. enlisted
with W. J. Bryan and what was
termed the regenerated democracy,
and to the best of my ability fought
the hypocritical Luciferians through
both campaigns for free silver 16 to 1,
which the imperialists are now coin
ing. I am a native born Buckeye, and
from actual life and observation can
testify to more than one-half century
of my country's history. I have ever
been a close student regardin the
procedure of political parties. ,1 once
believed that Americans would sae
the day when their government would
be so free and so light that, the citizen
would neither see it or feel it. But,
alas! After the lapse of the scriptural
three score and ten, results have been
disappointing to my ideas of Amer
icanism, and henceforward I ; put my
trust in no political party. While the
people continue hero worship and go
party building, political demagogues
will continue one by one to remove
the foundation rocks of the citadel of
liberty erected by the revolutionary
fathers and again it will be written
that "emperors rise in their stead."

(If the above wrltter had read The
Independent for the last few years
some of those "dislikes" would have
been left out. It has always been an
advocate of direct legislation. But
the editor knows no way to bring it
about under our state and national
constitutions unless we put some
"party" in power that will give it to
us. Mr. Bryan has many times called
the attention of the leaders of his
party to the saying that a house di
vided against itself must fall. He
has also often asserted that a coun
try could not long endure, half a free
republic and half empire. Ed. Ind.)
For over sixty years Mrs, Winslow's

get a bottle of "Mrs. Winslow's Sooth

value is incalculable. It will relieve
the poor little sufferer immediately.
Depend upon it, mothers, there is 110
mistake about it. It cures diarrhoea,
regulates the stomach and bowels,
cures wind colic, softens the gums, re
duces inflammation, and gives tone
and energy to the whole system. "Mrs.

Repudiates Them
Editor Independent: I saw your of
fer in the New York World to send
sample copies of The Independent. I
feel anxious to have everyone read it,
as I consider it an exponent of truth.
I think that you would be surprised if
you knew of the ignorance of the
farmers of this section, and the worst
of it is many of them wish to remain
in ignorance, for to them ignorance is
bliss. Even some of the good repub
licans say that their party is corrupt
and rotten, but that it is as good as
any, for all would be alike if they had
the same opportunity. At the same
time if they had a hired man who
was robbing them and could not be
trusted they would quickly boost him
out. They would want to try one of a
better record or even a stranger. What
is our president and all public offi
cials but men hired by the people?
(Perhaps I should say by the trusts.)
I enclose clippings taken from the
New York World. J presume you have
seen them, but to me it does sound
strange for a democratic paper. So
much so that I will stop it. I have
taken it for twenty years, but I am
through with it now. It certainly is in
the mire side by side with Hanna and
his party on the money question.'
