THE WESTERN SODOM
There is one black spot in this fair
west, so black that the blackest black
ness to which men are accustomed
appears to be a grayish white when
placed beside it. It is so foul that tho
fumes of a sulpher mine would be a?
the nectar of the gods in comparison
with it. Not that there are no good
men there, for, like Sodom of old, oue
or two good men may be found within
its limits, a few more perhaps than iu
the old Sodom, but the degradation of
the mass is so much worse than that
of the ancient city, though there were
twice as many good men there as can
now be found, they could not save the
city. It should be avoided as the
pest hole of the earth. Travelers go
ing west should make a detour to the
north or the south to avoid it.
Not long since one of the.princip.il
lawyers of the place publicly de
nounced the doctrines of the Declara
tion of Independence and called the
signers hypocrites. To his aid cane
immediately one of the most promi
nent ministers of the place who de
clared that every one of them, from
John Hancock to the last name on tho
immortal list, were deceivers and dis
semblers. The population of the place
is so degraded that instead of resent
ing such doctrines, they pay especial
honor to the men who promulgated
them.
The morals of the town are not de
teriorating, for most of the inhabi
tants reached the lowest stage of de
gradation long ago and can get no
lower, but it is, though the most fav
orably situated, slowly becoming da
populated as is shown by the United
States census. The people of this town
elected a man mayor who was known
to be an embezzler and the proof of
which was constantly paraded in the
daily papers. After he was elected he
bragged that it was that fact that
elected him, for every thief and scoun
drel in the city went to the polls to
work and vote for him. In a popula
tion of thaort the result of that
election was a foregone conclusion.
Once seated in authority he pro
claimed a "wide open town," both
for gambling and prostitution, and it
has been run that way ever since.
That is just what the inhabitants of
the place want it is the kind of thing
that they most delight in and he, or
some one like him, will hold power un
til the city is burned over with fire
and brimstone or the inhabitants die
of their own rott3nness or a new peo
ple with a different kind of morals
come to take their place. It will not
take long, thank the good Lord, if
the United States census tells us the
truth, for the latter thing to happen.
The most debauched and debased
thing in the whole town is their
courts. Here they indict men of un
sullied character and all those who in
terfere with a monopoly of gambling
which they have given to one of the
gang who infest the town. Here the
city council taxes the rich men who
have combined their capital in corpor
ations, at cne-third the rate it taxes
the poor men of the city and will not
even listen to a protest, and the in
habitants are so degraded that they
even seem to like that sort of thing.
A city, whose inhabitants have be
come such degenerates is past hope of
redemption. The only way that it can
be purified is to rain fire and brimstone
upon it for forty days and forty nights
and then soak it in formaldehyde for
a whole year. The Independent says
to its thousands of readers in the east
era states, don't ever get nearer to it
than Council Bluffs. You can smell
it very distinctly from that distance
and as the horrible stench enters your
nostrils, start up or down the river on
the eastern side or go back.1 Don't
enter its borders for the smell of its
rottenness will cling to your garments
until they are worn out. No sort of
cleansing will ever renovate them.
There are other, .cities in the United
States tending the same way.
, BARK SUSPICIONS
The annals of history are filled with
tans, rajahs, khedives, and cabinet
officers with cold cash. That being
known by all men, it leaves some very
dark suspicions lurking in the minds
of the best of men when they reflect
upon recent occurrences. In all the
deals since Hay became secretary of
state between the United States - and
Great Britain, the English have gained
enormous advantages and nothing in
return has been given. Still further
advantages were granted by him which
were so notoriously one-sided that the
senate rebelled and refused to ratify
the treaty. The agreement concern
ing Alaska, the using of this country
for a base of supplies to carry on the
Boer war and the first treaty in re
gard to an isthmian canal were all
greatly to the advantage of Great Brit
ain. In return, for these things,' which
were worth millions to Great Britain,
this country has received nothing.
Furthermore to do these things, trea
ties and conventions of the most sacred
character had to be violated. The
treaty of Washington declares:
A neutral government is bound
. . . Secondly, not to permit or
suffer either belligerent to make
Use of its ports or waters as. the
base of naval operations against
the other, or for the purpose of the
renewal or augmentation of mili
tary supplies or arms, or the re
cruitment of men. Thirdly, to ex
ercise due diligence in Its own
ports and waters, and as to all per
sons within its jurisdiction, to pre
vent any violation of the foregoing
obligations and duties.
Is it possible that men would vio
late a treaty like that and tarnish the
good name of their country forever
without any compensation from a na
tion that has a record of spending
money most lavishly for such pur
poses? There is nota military man in this
country who believes that the British
could have carried on the war in South
Africa with anything like the success
that they have had, had they not re
ceived the assistance that they have
from this country. Twice already the
British cavalry have been dehorsed,
and they have been again supplied
from the ports of this country with
horses and mules and forage for them.
Without these supplies the Boer com
manders could have harrassed the
British armies without danger of pun
ishment. All the governments of Eu
rope refuse to furnish the British with
supplies contraband of war. If the
horses and mules could not have been
procured here, they could not have
been procured at all. Has Great Brit
ain actually given nothing in return
for this great service? The most con
servative of men in this country begin
to have doubts upon that subject.
An attempt was made after these sus
picions were whispered around the
courts of Europe to create an impres
sion that England had rendered great
and important services to the United
States. No sooner was the claim as
serted than it was proven not only
false, but ridiculous. The statement
in the house of commons has been de
nied by every European foreign office.
The following is the statement made
by the Russian authorities:
Russia has always been and now
is extremely desirous of maintain
ing amicable relations with the
United States. Russia never had
any intention of participating in
any collective step in the Spanish
American dispute, which did not
directly concern her. Nor did Rus
sia receive any proposition having
such action in view. Indeed, we
received no information regarding
Austria's alleged initiative or
about an attempt on the part of
any powers to interfere in the in
terest of Spain. :.
There is no doubt that the claim
made in the house -of commons of
great and valuable services rendered
to the United States was stimulated by
the talk around the courts of Europe
that England was not getting all these
advantages for nothing.

OVATIONS TO SCHLEY
During the week Admiral Schley
has made a journey, upon the invita
tion of the Hamilton club of Chicago,
from his home in, Maryland to the
great western city. From the time he
started until he reached Chicago and
all the time he was in that city, he
was the recipient of . continual ova
tions. . Every , honor that the people
could devise was conferred upon him.
The stations along the road were
thronged with people and it is said
that at Chicago on Saturday and on
Monday he shook hands with no less
than 5,000 people each day. His -conduct
has been dignified on every occa
sion. Not a bitter word has. fallen
from his lips. When pressed with flat-r
tering suggestions that the people
wished to confer further honors on
him he replied: "I do not want to be
president. I do not want any political
office whatever. Neither will I take
one if it should be offered. I want
only the love of my fellow country peo
ple, and I believe I have it." The ap
peal that he made to the president for
a reversal of the finding of the ma
jority of the court has beCn referred
by the president back to Secretary
Long and Attorney Hauna, who prose
cuted Schley.
The English have always prided
themselves upon the honesty of their
public men. It is claimed that such
men as Quay and Steve Elkins could
never attain to political prominence
in Great Britain. ' It is true that in the
past no Englishman has ever been
guilty of such corruption as that of
Quay and Elkins, but since they have
gone into imperialism they are begin
ning to appear there. In London there
has been a contract made with a tele
phone company that raises rates 35
per cent. There was an universal pro
test made against it. All the members
of parliament of both parties from the
city met and agreed to unite in a pro
test on the floor of the house. When
the day came to propose the question,
the member selected for that duty
failed to appear. An investigation
showed that Chamberlain refused to
agree to annul the contract and if a
vote was taken on it the government
was liable to be beaten and that would
force a new election and endanger
the, Boer war policy. As soon as that
fact became known, the thing was
dropped. Behind the imperialism in
volved in the prosecution of the Boer
war these scoundrels hid. Anybody
who would vote against the party was
a traitor and a "little Englishman."
That is the very sort of thing that
has produced the public corruption in
this country and England has started
out on the same path.
There is a corporation fight on in
Colorado such as has not been seen or
heard for many years. The legisla
ture being fusion attempted to tax the
railroads at the same rate that other
property was taxed in the state, where
upon the corporations rebelled. They
secured the most eminent counsel and
fought the law in the courts and final
ly got it knocked out on the ground
that some clerk or engrosser or some
other underling had not put his name
in the right place in signing up the
record. Then the governor called a
special session of the legislature to re
enact the law and that body is now in
session. It is likely that the corpora
tions will wish that they had let the
thing alone before they get through
with that legislature. However, there
is always the probability - that rail
roads will get enough bought up to
fix things. When the last resort comes
and they have to buy legislators out
right, they generally find the men' who
will sell.
In regard to the Northern Securi
ties company which was incorporated
in defiance of the constitutions of six
states, Hill and Harriman take the
same ground that they do in regard to
rebates. They do not deny that it is
in violation of the organic laws of all
the states through which the roads
run. They simply defy those consti
tutions in the same way that they defy
the laws of congress. They control
millions. They can buy elections. They
can get their tools elevated to the fed
eral bench. Why should they longer
pretend to respect laws and constitu
tions? This is the condition that pop
ulists have long foretold. They control
the avenues of information, ' Prob
ably not one voter in a hundred in the
republican party knows that there has
been any Investigation and if they did
they would not care as long as they
could see six months of grub ahead.
Just at present their bellies are full.
What care they for the morrow?
John F. Dryden has een selected by
the republicans to represent New Jer
sey in the United States senate for no
other reason than that he is a very
rich mana multi-millionaire inter
ested In many public franchises, be
sides being the head of a great insur
ance companythe one that took $25,
000 out of its funds and presented it to
Mark Hanna to help him buy a presi
dential election. .That is the right kind
of a man for the republicans to send
ui a wr;iiirrT7-
can easily remain in power and there
is no longer any necessity for tt to
play hypocrite or pretend to be any
thing else than the governing .. power
for the trusts and corporations.,. It, can
defy the people justas safely . as. Hill
and Harriman did the acts of congress
of the United States and the constitu
tions of the western states . .
The investigation that has, been re
cently conducted in Chicago by' the;
Interstate commerce ' commission has
resulted in the open defiance of the
law by the railroad magnates. They
boasted that they had been giving re
bates and making discriminations.
These acts are crimes punishable with
fine and imprisonment, but no one will
prosecute them therefor. Criminal laws
are not for enforcement against the
rich. The- are for the punishment of
the starving children and freezing wo
men who pick up coal on the railroad
tracks that has fallen off the overload1
ed cars. Imperialism has so imbruted
the population of these states that
there is not an expression of .surprise
over the fact that the rich men who
manage railroads boast that they defy
the laws. . Here is a practical sort of
"anarchy", that meets the indorsement
of the great plutocratic dailies of the
land. . . -. . .
Whenever a man would make an ad
vance beyond the ideas of the past he
must live a life of isolation. , All, men
who have pushed the world onward by
some mighty force originating in
themselves have been separated from
the men of the generation in which
they lived. . Aristotle, Socrates, Jesus
and Galileo were but pestiferous fel
lows to the authorities.. All these men
had to dwell apart in an individual
realm of their own. Sometimes gen
erations are born aud die before any
considerable number enter that realm,
Even Shakespeare was but a common,
actor to all men until long after his
death. This writer is a lineal descend
ant of the first man who appreciated
Shakespeare enough to; write a com
mentary upon his works, 1(. After that,
others arose, and in time thousands
got into' the realm where .hakespeare
lived. , .
The worst diplomatic, blunder thai
ever occurred since diplomacy , was
invented was the act of the English
ministry in announcing, in the house
of commons that the European na
tions had resolved on interfering in
the Spanish war and were only , pre
vented from doing so by the friendship
of England - for this country, Russia
Germany - and France have come ; out
with positive denials, and Germany
intimates that it was the. British, min
istry itself that suggested it. It is
natural that Englishmen .should be
irritated by the .' political tendencies
of the time. It is natural that Eng
lish statesmen .should view with dis
favor, if not alarm, the Increasing
power, of Germany and the increasing
friendliness of Germany -: toward thq
United States,, but the effort made to
check it was the most . silly thing
that a foreign office of any govern
ment ever attempted.
The imperialists have,, decided ob
jections to their own doctrines when
ever they are applied to themselves.
Dr. Lyman Abbott, who is fully per
suaded that imperialism is a good
thing for South Africa and the Philip
pines, rises in his wrath whenever he
thinks of the tyranny of the rural
counties . in attempting to dictate to
the city, of New York how it shall
spend its Sundays or whether the sa
loons shall sell whisky on that day
or not. When he thinks of that he is
for- local self-government and, he is
ready to get. up a "rebellion" and join
the "insurgents." He will have no
imperialism in his. Nevertheless it is
a good thing for the brown people and
South African Dutch.

Hon. Rudolph M, Patterson, a well-known lawyer, of Chicago, 111., writes the
following letter to The Peruna Medicine Co., at Columbus, Ohio :
The Peruaa Medicine Company , Columbus, Oh Jo :
. Oenilemen""l have been a sufferer from nasal catarrh for the past five
years, and at the earnest solicitation of a friend 1 tried Peruna and am glad to
say It has afforded a complete cure. It is with pleasure I recommend it to
othcs."--'RUDQLPH M. PATTERSON. . ,
Mrs J, C. Garrett, of 38 West 117th
street, New York City, writes :
" I can honestly recommend Peruna as
a great catarrh
remedy. It heals
and heals quick-
t ly and. perma
nently.
"This is sim
ply the whole
t story in a word.
I have for years
suffered with ca
tarrh, aggravat-
t ed .when I took
1 cold and Peruna
4 cured me. It Is
indeed a great medicine, and worthy the

highest praise, for it is reliable and will
never disappoint you." Mrs. J. C.
Garrett.
There are two things that the whole
medical profession agree about concern
ing catarrh. The first is that catarrh is
the most prevalent and omnipresent dis
ease to which the people In the United
States are subject. All classes of people
have it. Those who stay indoors much
and those who go outdoors . much.
Working classes have it and sedentary
classes have it.
The doctor finds catarrh to be his con
stant and ever-present foe. It compli
cates nearly every disease he Is called
upon to treat. .
The second thing about catarrh on
which all doctors agree, Is that it Is dlf
fleult to cure it. Local remedies may
give relief but they fall to cure perma
nently. Sprays" tr , snuffs amount to
little or nothing except to give tempo
rary relief.
Catarrh is frequently located In Inter
nal organs which cannot be reached by
any sort of local treatment, AH this is
known by every physician.
To devise some systemic internal rem
edy which would reach catarrh at its
source, to eradicate it permanently from
the system this has been the desire of
the medical profession for a long time.
Forty years ago Dr. Hartman confronted
this problem. Ho believed then that he
had solved it. He still believes ho has
solved it. He cures thousands of people
annually. During all these years "Pe
runa has, been the remedy upon which
he has relied.
It was at first a private prescription,
afterwards manufactured expressly for
hln in Jare quantities. This remedy,
Peruna, Is now to be found in every drag
store and nearly every home in the land.
It is' the only reliable internal remedy
ever devised to cure any case of catarrh,
however long the case may have been
standing. s; '
Mr, Camlllus Senne, 257 West 129th
street, New York, writes :
! f'l have fully recovered from my ca
tarrhal troubles.
I -suffered for
three years with
catarrh of. tho. I
head, nose and
throat, I tried
all kinds of
medicine u with

last I have been
cured by the I
wonderful rem-I

wrote you for advice, which I followed.
After taking one and one-half bottles of
Peruna I am entirely cured, and can
recommend Peruna to anyone as the best
and surest remedy for any , catarrhal
troubles." Camlllus Senne.
A course of Peruna never fails to bring
relief. . There is no other remedy like
Peruna. Its cures are prompt and per
manent. ;
If you do not derive prompt and satis
factory results from tho use of Peruna,
write at once to Dr. Hartman, giving a
full statement of your case and he will
be pleased to give you bis valuable
advice gratis.

The real question involved in the
suit of the state, of Minnesota and
which will soon be heard in the si
preme court of the United States is
this: Certain persons are endeavor
ing under the protection of a charter
granted by New Jersey, and which
could not be obtained in Minnesota, to
do what is foi bidden by the laws of
the latter state. , If it be determined
that this can lawfully be done, then it
will be useless for one, or ten, or forty
four states even to enact laws forbid
ding "the dping of certain; things with
in their limits,' when the . forty-fifth
state is at liberty to pursue a course
which shall make possible the nullifi
cation of those laws.
The policy of let the big ones eat the
little ones regardless of consequences
is to be the game of the great news
papers as well as of all the tariff
grafters. The great dailies are "all
members of the paper trust and the
effort made in congress to have whlti
paper and wood pulp put on the fri
list will .receive no aid from them.
There never was any reason for put
ting a tariff on either white paper or
wood pulp.- It was. part of a scheme
to rob the people. There was no dan
ger of the "pauper labor of Europe"
in this case and. there never was any
pretense that there was. It was sim
ply a case of premeditated robbery. A
The U. S. Civil Service Commission
will !hold examinations at several
places in each state during March and
April, to secure young men and wom
en . for the government service; r 9,89
persons secured positions last year
through these examinations. Prob
ably 10,000 appointments will be made
this year. .'All appointments are for
life ancl for most positions only a
common school education is required.
Salaries at appointment vary from
$660 to $1,200 a year with liberal pro
motions afterward. Politics is not con
sidered. This affords a ' good oppor
tunity for people between 16 and 45

over to this side, saw them up, sell
the lumber and put the tariff into their
own pockets. No logs or timber are
allowed to come out of Canada any

be taken off of lumber instead of go
