From the wording of many editorials
in the great dailies under the head,
"Deqadence cf the House." one would
be justified in charging that the writ
ers were close and careful readers of
the editorials in the Nebraska Inde
pendent. With what bitterness and malignity
a thief can denounce an honest man
can be seen in almost any Nebraska
republican paper these days. An hon
est man in politics is a thing that the
thieves abhor beyond the power of
words to describe.
One by one every right guaranteed
to the citizen is abolished. The other
day there was an order issued by the
Washington authorities abolishing thf
right, of petition of every person in
the government service. "Yep. That's
all right," answers the mullet head.
If the recent dispatches from China
can be relied upon there can no longer
be any doubt that the empress really
intends to introduce radical reforms
reforms that will change the trend of
government altogether, and start it on
the way to rank with the modern na
tions. She begins at the court itself
in breaking down old prejudices and
superstitions, phe says she will send
a large number of students to be edu
cated among the western nations.

The items in bank statements en
titled "surplus" and "undivided pro
fits" help to make the balance sheet
figure up right, but that is about all
they are good for. The Bellwood bank
that had nothing back of its large lia
bilities but forged and worthless pa
per, reported considerable sums under
these two heads in its last statement.
Governor Taft in his testinmony be
fore the congressional committee of
the senate said in relation to the
Philippines that "it is the Christians
that make all the trouble. The Moros,
and other wild tribes have not joined
in the insurrection." The question
naturally arises: If we send more mis
sionaries over there and make more
Christians, will we not have still more
trouble?
A census bulletin lately issued shows
that the actual capital of 183 trusts
was $1,458,500,000, while the amount of
bonds and stock issued was $3,085,-
00,868 and that does not include the
steel trust. All that goes to show
that there is another way of getting
double interest besides depositing a
bond with the United States treasurer
and then getting back your money and
interest on the bond besides.
The passage on an isthmian canal
bill providing for public ownership
and operation of the same will, be the
sanction by the national government
of one of the fundamental and para
mount issues of the populist party. A
majority report of a committee of the
house the other day advocating the
public ownership of a Pacific cable is
another indorsement of the same prin
ciples. With all these things staring
them in the face, the democratic au
thorities are as silen tas the tomb on
the question of" government! ownership
of rnihlic utilities. : While advancing
In 1893 when the money power de
manded the rvpeal of the Sherman
law because it created an endless chain
with which to draw gold out of the
treasury, every mu-let head answered,
"Yep. It must be done." In 1902 when
the same crowd says we must pass the
Overstreet. bill and create an endless
chain to get the gold : out, the same
mullet heads answer again, "Yep. It
must be done.'
There is a new literature springing
up and circulating all over the United
States. ;The coming into existence of
papers with immense circulation like
The Commoner and the Pilgrim and
the demand for the Nebraska Indepen
dent in every state of the union shows
that the people want something else
besides reports of murder trials, di
vorce scandals and fashionable Wash
ington dinners to read.
The supreme court of Maryland has
decided that women not only have no
right to practice law in that state,
but also that "women are excluded j
from all occupations which were de-;
nied to them by the common law, ex
cept where the disability has been re
moved by statutory enactment." Un
der the old common law a woman
was practically owned by her husband,
she had no legal right to herself, her
wages, or even her personal clothing.
Why any business man should want
two kinds of money, one kind redeem
able in another, is one of those things
that no pop can find out. Why bank
ers and speculators should, is a thing
very easy to understand. Their for
tunes are made when the "day of li
quidation" comes. There should not
be one kind of money for the banker
and speculator and another kind for
the producer and business man. There
should be just one kind of money and
no mc:e.
Most of the great dailies are now
patterned after the country weekly.
They are simply local organs. Their
editorial matter is devoted to discuss
ing the common council and the for
tunes of ward bosses. Much of their
space is devoted to the doings of wom
en in society circles, reports of din
ner parties and things that are of no
more general interest than the an
nouncement in the country weekly
that "Bill Jones brought a load of
hogs to town today."
The difference between the Quay
steal in Philadelphia and the Lodge
scheme to rob the Filipinos is that the
Quay steal amounted to $5,000,000 and
the Lodge robbery is $400,000,000. One
was for the benefit of a few politicians
residing in Pennsylvania and the oth
er i3 a plan to tax the helpless brown
people for the benefit of about 4,000
national bankers. As $5,000,000 is to
$400,000,000, so is Quay to Lodge. But
Quay does not pretend to be anything
but a thief while Lodge poses as a
patriot from Boston.
Wall street is organized upon the
same principle of every other percent
age gambling house. If the players
will only play long enough, the house
is sure to get it all. One million
shares of stock aro sold every day on
Wall street. Tht percentage of the
brokers amounts to $250,000. That
comes from those who buy and sell and
is "a sure thing." Of all the "sure
thing" gambling ever invented it is
the surest. To get in the game every
broker has to "ante up" $80,000. The
"ante" used to be less, but it increases
every year.
How the Reed rules have reduced
the house of representatives to an au
tomatic machine directed by a few
scheming republican politicians, not
exceeding a dozen in number, and how
completely all discussion of public
questions is suppressed may be gath
ered from the fact that when the Phil
ippine bill was up before the house,
so distinguished a man as McCall of
Massachusetts was, allowed "one min
ute" in which to discuss that question.
Under the present conditions the meet
ing of the house is simply a farce and
it might as well be abolished. If we
are to have a government by a wealthy
aristocracy, let us have it without any
more hypocritical pretenses that it is
constitutional and representative.
the breaking out of the civil war.
Grant, Sherman and Sheridan were all
democrats to say nothing of McClellan
and a score of others. Most of them
found out before very long that they
were Lincoln republicans. In the last
war, Dewey, Schley and Miles were all
democrats. After the war was over
and they .had placed the United States
on the very highest pinacle of fame,
the anti-Lincoln republicans who hold
the government at Washington started
out to disgrace all three of them.
What success they have had in their
nefarious work will require time to
tell.
It is impossible for the Nebraska re
publican to believe that there is a sin
gle man in the state who does not
want office and would not accept office
if it were offered to him. They are
also declaring on every street corner,
just as they did in the days when
Bartley wa3 looting the treasury,
Mosher was running a political bank
and they thought that they had the
state forever, that there is not an hon
est man in the whole state. They say
it makes no difference whom we elect
to office or what party the incumbents
belong to, that every one of them will
steal if they get the chance. One hears
such talk every day. The same old
gang having got control, the same old
arguments and policies naturally fol-
ow. The Ethiopian cannot change
his skin or the leopard his spots.
And now the church and secret so
ciety papers are to get a taste of im
perialism. Madden is again flourishing
his snickersnee. It begins to look as
though those church journals that so
strenuously supported the administra
tion in its efforts to-shoot Christianity
into the Filipinos, will get a chance to
sample a little imperialism themselves.
t is really refreshing to have Mr. Mad
den inform us that a church paper is
not "intended for general circulation "
That is nearly equivalent to saying
that church papers are not Christian
papers. Maybe Madden isn't far wrong.
The Scriptures command us to "go
into all the world and PREACH the
gospel to every creature," but there is
no command to spread Christianity
at the point of the bayonet and mouth
of the cannon.
"Suffer little children to come unto
Me and forbid them not, for of such is
the kingdom of heaven." Have the
people of England read this sentence
for many, many velars? It would seem
not, in view 'of 'the fact that over' ten
thousand childreri4thder twelve- years
of age died in sixmonttis last year in
the Boer reconcentrado pens estab
lished by the British army in South
Africa. It seems inconceivable that
the people of America, who in 1893
went to war with Spain because of just.
Y
such a brutal policy, should in less
than four years have become so hard
ened that not only can such infamous
outrages committed by another coun
try be looked, upon with calmness and
even unconcern, but that also they
should adopt the identical practice in
dealing with the Filipinos.
Whenever the laboring men make a
demand for increase in wages, the
whole, daily press throws every ob
stacle in the way of their getting it,
but when the office-holders want their
wages advanced it has no criticisms to
make. A bill has been introduced into
the senate to advance the wages of a
whole lot of office-holders who are al
ready in the enjoyment of high sal
aries. The bill fixes the salary of this
chief justice of the United States su
preme court at $13,000 and of the asso-
It is not many years since the time
when if a man commended any policy
in trade or otherwise that the British
had adopted that he was denounced by
every true republican as a foreign spy
and bribed by the Cobden club. The
sycophancy of the leaders of that
party to royalty and everything Eng
lish, causes the Springfield Republi
can to remark: "We shall next hav-3
the party talking for British free
trade and if the senior party organ
in New York is not doing so before
the coronation exercises are past; it
will be surprising." By the time that
Whitelaw Reid gets back,, he will not
only have the "English accent,' high
handshake, but the beef-eater's prin
ciples thoroughly ground into him. '
It seems that democrats, whatever
the faults of the political leaders may
ciate justices of that court at $12,500;
of circuit judges at $7,500 and of dis
trict judges at $6,250. The" salary of
the chief justice of the court of claims
is taade $6,125 and that of the asso
ciate justice $5,625. Not an editor of
a daily paper has so far had a word to j
say against this tremendous Increase
in the wages of these officials.
When Tom Watson spoke in Lin
coln the republicans who heard that
magnificent address sat in bewilder
ment listening to that outburst of elo
quence, logic and patriotism. At the
close, when questioned about it, all
they could say was: "That was not a
political speech, it" was not populism
at all, it was simply a patriotic address
which any man of any political party
migLt make." Some of the eastern
papers are saying the same thing about
Bryan's recent speeches in the eastern
states. The great commercial pirates
having captured most of the avenues of
information by subsidizing and pur
chasing the great dailies and maga
zines, have by constant repution of
falsehoods and slanders impressed on
the very soul3 of the. people that the
populists and Bryan democrats have
been advocating policies that would
end in the disruption, and overthrow
of civilization. When their followers
do happen to hear a populist speech
(here in Nebraska the leaders always
prevent it if they can) they are aston
ished beyond measure to listen to the
doctrines of Jefferson and Lincoln re
stated and they go away declaring that
it is not populism, for the populists
are lunatics and anarchists.
Madden's procedure is not without
precedent. It bears a remarkable re
semblance to contempt of court pro
ceedings. He is the complaining wit
ness, public prosecutor, judge and jury
all rolled into one. That is exactly
what happens in a contempt case. The.
procedure is repugnant to the spirit
of our institutions in that it deprives
the newspapers and their owners of
property without due" process of law.
The accused has no opportunity to
have the charges heard by a competent
tribunal, but -s frequently deprived of
second-class rates without any or suf
ficient warning. The value of his pa
per depends upon its subscription list
and its continued publication. To stop
two or three months or even that
many weeks means destruction. The
doctrine of vested rights, enunciated
in the Dartmouth college case, is held
to be sacred where large moneyed in
terests are involved; but it is wholly
overlooked and disregarded when some
poor devil of a newspaper man gets
in the clutches of an autocrat like
Madden. Of course Madden should not
bear the whole blame: the primary
wrong is in giving any one man such
powers as he uses. There should be a
court to try all cases involving the
deprivation of second-Class rates, and
no paper should be cut off until the
court has rendered a formal judgment
that the paper should be deprived of
the privilege.
That the readers of The Independent
may fully understand the enormity of
this transaction it herewith prints the
summivy ct the bill sent out by the
Associated press, which would, as ev
ery one knows, put the best face upon
it possible. The dispatch said:
As provided in the Lodge bill,
the land will be bought from the
friars and then sold at cost to the
tenants, so that the transaction
will not in the end cost the United
States government anything at all.
It will be necessary, however, to

TBIE day was when men of promi
nence hesitated to give their testi
monials to proprietary medicines
for publication. This remains true to
day of most proprietary medicines. But
Peruna hai become so justly famous, its
merits are known to so many people of
high and low stations, that no one hesi
tates to see his name in print recom
mending Peruna.
A dignified representative of the Pres
byterian church in the person of Rev.
E. G. Smith does not hesitate to state
publicly that he ha3 used Peruna in his
family and found it cured when other
remedies failed.
Rev. E. G. Smith, pastor of the Presby
terian church of Greensboro, Ga.,
writes:
"Having used Peruna in my family for
some time it gives me pleasure to testify
to its true worth. My little boy seven
years of age had been suffering for some
time with catarrh of the lower bowels.
Other remedies had failed, but after
taking two bottles of Peruna the trouble
almost entirely disappeared. For this
special malady I consider it well nigh a
specific. As a tonic for weak and worn
out people it has few or no equals."
REV. E. G. SMITH.
Mr. M. J. Rossman, a prominent mer
chant of Greensboro, Ga., and an elder
in the Presbyterian church of that place,
writes :
"For a long time I was troubled with
catarrh of tho kidneys and tried many
remedies, all o&which gave mo no relief.
Peruna h.wa3;Tecommended to me by
severaL f riendsif and after using a feT

THE OLDTRIJTHS
We are wandering far away from
old truths. The gospel of greed Is
making the whole American people,
by a slow and an almost impercepti
ble movement, hedonists. Get every
advantage for self and crush every
other being that interferes with self
advancement. Any act of sympathy is
unprofitable and militates ag;ainst the
survival of the fittest. Upon these
principles the war is waged against
the Boers and the Filipinos. If some
regenerating force does not soon arise
to check this propaganda, civilization
will be thrown backward a thousand
years. In the old days we were taught
to love, to be sympathetic, to do goo!
unto all men and in those days "all"
really meant "all" and not Anglo
Saxon white men only. But now, ruder
less and demasted, without chart or
compass, we drift on the sea of selfish
ness to some unknown destination.

A Republican Newspaper Now Making
the Same Charges That Populists llava
Mad for the Last Ten Years
Frank A. Harrison, well known to
fusionists as "Thunder Maker," since
his return from an extended trip in
Central America has begun the publi
cation of a republican paper which
gives promise of giving considerable
trouble to Czar Thompson and his
satellites. ' -
Most of the credit belongs to Harri
son for actually thwarting the ambi
tion of D. E. Thompson to be senator,
rnrtiner out at the beerinnlnjr of the
senatorial campaign, there j were but
one or two republican papers that took
1 1 , x j.t. -1 i -
pounding away with his "press bu
reau" until such a muss was kicked up
by the republican papers all over thu
state that the republican members cf
the legislature did not dare to elect
Thompson. But Harrison was only
partially successful because Thomp
son got permission to name the sena
tors, although he could not secure o:.e
of. the prizes for himself. And now
Harrison has begun anew the ngnt
which started back at the session when
Senator Hayward was elected. His
paper is called the Nebraska fctate
Record. It is an eight-page, four-column
paper, similar in si2e to The Com
moner. Typographically, it presents
a neat apearance, and the matter It
contains ought to make the present re
publican machine "go way back and sit
down."
The following items are culled from
Harrison's paper. Populists are all
perfectly familiar with the charges
