POLITICAL PAUPERS
Veil where the campaign funds come
from and any man can tell what the
character of the legislation will be.
The republican campaign funds come
from the railroads, th3 trusts and the
banks. Those contributions are made
as business investments and they pay
larger dividends than money invested
in any other enterprise. The brewers
were all "sound money" men, but they
contributed liberally to both republi
can and democratic campaign funds.
The other day the tax was taken off
beer without a roll call or a division.
This Mark Hanoa ship subsidy is as
much a gift to the great through lines
of railroads as to the steamship lines.
They were all heavy contributors to
Mark's campaign fund. Any set of
. voters who think that they can get
legislation in their interest, either
state or national, and let the other
fellows pay all the election expenses,
are easy victims of a confidence game.
You cannot get something for nothing
in politics any more than anywhere
else. If the common people ever get
any legislation in their own interests
they will have to pay the election ex
penses. It is high time that they
found that out. ' Don't be political pau
pers. You may get a few crumbs, but
the men who put up the money will
enjoy all the roast beef, pie and plum
pudding. Some men in this state have
played political paupers long enough.
Perhaps they have received all that
they deserved. If they want something
more they will have to stop playing
political paupers.
POLITICAL PREACHERS
The Independent has frequently ex
pressed its opinion of political preach
ers, especially the kind that we have
here in Lincoln, but it never was quite
as emphatic as some of the best citi
zens of Lincoln are when they discuss
the subject. Ex-Mayor A. H. Weir is
a business man and one of Lincoln's
most highly respected citizens. In
Tuesday morning's Journal over his
own signature Mr. Weir says:
"I saw within the last six weeks
a clergyman of this city playing
I cards for money. Not prizes, but
1 the coin of the realm."
I One time in Lincoln the republicans
made a campaign on the avowed the
ory of no restrictions upon the sale
of liquor and no interference with the
houses of prostitution. The candidate
for mayor was elected and re-elected.
They announced everywhere that they
wanted a "wide open town." Mr. Weir
calls attention to the fact that that
candidate could never have been
elected but for the support that the
churches gave him in both elections,
which is a fact that every man In the
city knows to be true.
Neither could imperialism and wars
, of conquest ever have gained the foot
hold that they have had it not been
for the active aid of prominent bishops
and clergymen. All this has no bear
ing upon the truths taught; by - the
Carpenter of Gallilee, but it goes far to
show that the power of money has ob
tained a foothold in the church and
that it is used in the defense of vice
and oppression.
THK STAFF LIAR
; Many people have often wondered
who was the brilliant liar on the Bee
staff. Now they think that they have
found out. The facts seem to indicate
that it is Victor Rosewater, and the
facts are as follows: There was a
meeting- of the democratic and populist
state committees last week in Lincoln
for the purpose of fixing a time and
place for holding a state convention.
Such meetings are held every year
and, as there is nothing but formal
business to attend to, there Is usually

a small attendance. This year, how
ever, there was the largest attendance
of both committees that has ever been
known. After; recording numerous
other lies for publication in the Bee,
the said Victor Rosewater wrote down
the following:
Ex-Treasurer J. B. Meserve
skirted around the committees, ap
parently fearful that some resolu
tions directed at him might be
forthcoming, but breathed easier
when he made sure that no guns
were loaded.
The fact was that Mr. Meserve was
not in the city at all during the ses
sion of the committee. That part of
the report was as reliable as any,
other. The people therefore now think
that they have discovered the staff
liar of the Omaha Bee. If they have
made a mistake the Bee should show
up the real man.
A NEW KIND OF TREASON
It will be remembered who will
ever forget it that hundreds of news
papers and many ministers of the
gospel as soon as they heard the news
of the assassination of President Mc
Kinley charged that all persons who
had opposed , the war ' of conquest in
the Philippines had "instigated" that
act. Here In Nebraska the republi
cans repeated the charge during the
whole campaign. Now the senate of
the United States- has enacted a bill
which makes all persons guilty of
treason who "instigate" the killing of
the president. If this act had been in
force at the time of assassination of
the president, Senator Hoar, Carl
Schurz, Professor Norton and hun
dreds of other distinguished men in
the United States, including all mem
bers of the .populist party, could have
been arrested for treason. In this way
and by the enactment one after an
other of such laws does Imperialism
destroy every constitutional right and
prepare to throttle the press and all
expression of opinion concerning any
prominent officers of the government.
Senator Bacon called attention to this
in his speech against the bill, but it
had no effect upon those who drafted
and introduced it. He said: "It is
impossible that we can approve a bill
which may be used to muzzle the
press; to make any editor afraid to
express his opinions as to one of
these officials because the bill is not
limited to , the president of the United
States, but extends to every head of a
department to make him afraid to
express his opinions, even though he
may believe an officer has done wrong,
or is corrupt in his office, for fear that
if thereafter that officer should be
killed by somebody, he could be ar
rested and carried before a court and
tried' upon the charge of having 'in
stigated' the murder?"
It is impossible that a republic can
long endure where such acts as these
are constantly ; creeping -in upon the
pages of . the statute books. Having
repudiated the fundamental principles
upon which our government was
founded, it is- but natural that we
should drift further and further away
from .them.; until all semblance of a
republic . such as our fathers founded
will be lost. A nation cannot long
endure half empire and half republic.
To this fact The Independent has con
stantly been pointing. It is, not sym
pathy with the Filipinos that makes
us keep up a constant warfare upon
imperialism. It is because imperialism
will in the end destroy this govern- j
ment. . -
News of the Week
One would think that wage-workers
would get enough of the republican,
party and its "protection" of labor :
after a while. The imprisonments '
and denial of liberty of which organ-1
ized labor complains has all come from
republican judges. - They have been
shot down In the public highway,
they have been tried and convicted
without a jury and time and again
they have been? enjoined from doing
things that all other citizens are per
mitted to do, and yet when, the spell
binder comes around, they forget it
all and vote to keep their oppressors
be curtailed, but it seems that that
has come to naught. A bill was in
troduced in the senate that stopped
the Injunction business, but when the
plutocratic senators got through with
it, matters were made worse than they
were before. Mr. Gompers, speaking
of it in its present state, says: "It
is completely subversive of all prin
ciples of liberty. Organized labor
seeks no immunity from the laws ap
plicable to all other citizens and people
of our country, but must insist that
those things which are legal when per
formed by other citizens ought not to
be illegal when performed by mem
bers of organized labor, and it was to
recover those rights to the members
of organized labor that the original
bill was drafted."
It has been rumored for some time
that a horrible crime had been com
mitted in the Philippines by two army
officers. The Independent said nothing
about it for it could not believe that
any officer of the American army,
which has had an unsullied reputation
for more than a hundred years, could
possibly have turned into such a bar
barian as the rumors suggested. It
appears from the latest cablegrams
that the story was true. The two offi
cers have been brought before a court
martial and acknowledged the truth
of the charges. Major Littleton W. T
Waller and Lieut. John H. Day are
charged with shooting eleven Filipino
prisoners. Major Waller pleaded "not
guilty" to the charge of murder, but
admitted that eleven men had been
killed. Captain Robert H. Dunlap of
the marine corps testified that he re
ceived information from Lieutenant
Gridley and Sergeant Quick regarding
the arrival at Cargadores of prisoners
who while on the march across the
island ate roots and parts of plants
and refused to assist the marines by
giving them similar food. He reported
the facts to Major- Waller, who was
lying in a cot and who ordered Lieu
tenant Day to take the prisoners and
have them shot. The witness said
Major Waller was not excited and had
personally expressed 'that the men
should be shot.
It appears that a few of the judges
after second thought are taking a dif
ferent view of Injunctions and other
judicial usurpations from what was
the tendency two or three years ago.
One of them has abolished the police
sweat-box and will have no more of it.
In a recent case. Justice Mayer of the
court of general sessions of New York
city, said he found no warrant in law
for the questioning of a prisoner by a
police officer before the prisoner had
been arraigned before a police magis
trate or informed of his rights. A dis
tinguished New York lawyer, in speak
ing of this, says: "It is going to
work the greatest innovation in the
system in vogue, not only in the city
of New York, but the entire country.
Thousands of cases have been decided
in court here on statements made by
prisoners to officers before the arraignment."
That kind of work is what imperial
ism has brought us to, and the distin
guished general, Fred Funston, the pet
of the republican party, fully indorses
It. It is the same sort of work that
the Spanish were engaged in for a
hundred years or more. It is the meth
od of . imperialism everywhere and al
ways. It is just what was . predicted
when we went into this imperial busi
ness. Will these officers be found guil
ty of murder and executed? Not at
all. That is not the way of imperialism.
General Miles is not alone In his
fight against Secretary's Root's bill
to reorganize the army. Most of the
officers of the regular army are op
posed to it. In speaking of the lieu
tenant general the Chicago Tribune
says: "General Miles has felt for the
last four years that the Intent of those
In authority over him and of some of
those supposedly subject to his au
thority has been to keep him from
exercising the full duties of his com
mand. He believes that his recom
mendations have been set at naught,
and he sees in the present reorganiza
tion measure a menace to his position
and to that of soldiers who will come
after him." '
Much talk has been sent out by the
reporters in Washington concerning
what Roosevelt is going to do to Gen
eral Miles. The president has been
reported as expressing great disgust
because, as he says, Miles wants to be
president. Well, one Theodore Roose
velt wanted to be president and laid
his plans for years to get there. Does
the president despise Roosevelt be
cause of that fact? General Miles has
frequently said that he was not a
candidate for the presidency. He evi
dently don't care to remain as general
in command of the army. He has a
right to his opinion of this bill as well
as his opinion on the Schley case.
Some English speculators undertook

hooted its representatives and de
clared that they would not deal with
it. They declared that is was a mo
nopoly and un-English. After that
they sang "Rule Britania" and de
clared that they would buy goods of
America or anywhere else that they
pleased.
The inconvenience of a censorshin
becomes more apparent as it grows
more rigid. A while ago we had reg
ular medical reports from the Philip
pines, but they have ceased. Nothing
now gets to the public about the in
sanity among the soldiers. No more
official reports are printed containing
lists of killed and wounded and died
of disease. It has been some months
since anything like that has been giv
en to the public, and yet the insanity
increases as is nroven by the carloads
of insane soldiers that are seen going
through the country now and then. A
recent dlsnatch from the headnnarfors
of imperialism says: "War department
omciais, aiarmea Dy tne rapid increase
in disease among tne troops in the
Philippines and other troDieal sta
tions, has issued an order to command
ing officers enjoining upon them the
strictest scrutiny over the habits and
morals of the troops and requesting
them to endeavor by personal exam
ple to influence the men to preserve
their health."
The war department reports that it
has discovered a new secret society in
the Philippines, the members of which
swear eternal emnity to all white men.
They say that members of the society
wear shirts w'th cablistic signs paint
ed on them, and the wearers, like
some of the Sioux Indians a few years
ago, believe them to be bullet proof.
Corbin and his staff would have us be
lieve that, this is a very dangerous so
ciety, because it makes the bolomen
very brave.
One of the great events in Wash
ington this week was a fencing con
test. So much importance was at
tached to. it that the president left
the affairs of state to attend. Punch
was distributed to the audience be
tween each bout of t'e contest. The
next thing that we will have is the
gladiatorial contests that used to fur
nish so much amusement to the old
Roman imperialists.
General Miles knocked the. new
army bill clear , out so the Washing
ton correspondents say. That has so
enraged the president and Secretary
Root that they have resolved to retire
him from active service.
The persistent assertions of the
strategy board in the war department
that General Miles is a candidate for
the presidency has caused him to re
publish the letter that he wrote "to
George F. Washburn, president of the
Commonwealth club of Massachusetts,
last January. The letter is as fol
lows: "My, Dear Mr. Washburn: Your
favor of the 18th Inst, reached me to
day. You desire information as to
the truth or falsity of the newspaper
reports from Washington making me
an active candidate for the presidency.
I deeply regret these reports. Like
many others In the past, they are ab
solutely' unauthorized. They, do not
emanate, , from myself nor from my
friends'and j I trust that the public
will not : ibe misled by them. I have
not. been " and am not now, a seeker
for presidential honors. My ambi
tion has eVer been faithfully to serve
my country in whatever sphere duty
may hav dictated, and this will be
my sole, purpose In the future."
, If ., the Jmti-anarchy bill passes the
house in the shape that It left the sen
ate we will have another imperial
feature added to our government. The
president will always be accompanied
by a military guard under command
of an officer of the regular army. He
can then go about in the same form
as any monarch of Europe.
An irate Englishman in discussing
his recent visit to America declares
that there is not a spot Inside of walls
in all the United States during the
winter where a man is not parboiled
with excessive heat. That English
man could never have ridden on a
cold day in a Chicago street car. But
the Englishman is more than half
right. The steam-heated buildings in
the city will parboil any one not ac
customed, to them in fifteen minutes.
They are the cause of one-half the
sickness and may account for much of
the insipid editorial writing that ap
pears in-the great metropolitan dail
ies. ; How can a man have a vigorous
idea in rooms heated up to 90 or 100
degrees?.
Of all the "special correspondents"
of the great plutocratic dailies, Wal
ter Wellman, who just at present sends
his stuff to the Chicago Record-Herald,
is the most bombastic, unreliable and
silly. As a devotee of the administra
tion he has no equal, but his stories
are so ridiculous and incredible, ihat
he is a positive aid to the other side.
Last Sunday he had two columns of
stuff about General Miles, so puerile
and childish that, an editor of an or
dinary country newspaper would have
thrown it in the waste basket. To say
that any man of ordinary common
sense would have done the things
that he says General Miles did, would
brand the man who made the asser
tion as a 'fool. It would be a very
good thing for General Miles, if the
president should retire him for giving
evidence before a senate committee.
The Independent hopes that the presi
dent will do that very thing.
A Chicago Alderman, Brenner by
name, said that there were three mem
bers of the Chicago city council who
would not steal a red hot stove. The
statement has created a great sensa
tion in that town and a general de
mand is made that Brenner should be
expelled from the body.
The American tories who reside in
London first undertook to help the
British conquer the Boers by purchas-,
ing a ship and fitting it out with a
hospital corps. Now they have entered
on another scheme to aid the British.
The heavy taxation caused by the war
has largely - increased the number of
paupers and 1 the American tory resi
dents are to hold a big fair to raise
money to support them. It Is said
that the queen will open the bazar In
person, and some hundreds of thou
sands of dollars drawn, from American
workmen in, the way of rents, trust
dividends, railroad and bank stock
will be turned over to relieve the Brit
ish from supporting the poor while
they put all their funds into arms, am
munition and horses to help Kitchener
kill the Boer farmers. There is a
large colony of these American tories
who reside permanently in London
and draw their funds from their in
vestments in" the United States.
The terrible price that we are pay
ing In lives for our policy in the Phil
ippines was shown last week upon the
return of the Twentieth regiment;
That regiment sailed from San Fran
cisco for the Philippines January 26.
1899, with 1,376 men. It returns with
but 422, the difference between the two
numbers representing the killed,
wounded, died of disease and, other
casualties resulting from three years'
service in those tropical, disease-in-feCted
islands. To hold the islands,
General Chaffee declares that we will
have to keep 50,000 soldiers there for
years to come. Like casualties may be
expected in every regiment. Figure
up the cost In lives alone and see the
enormous sacrifice. What do we get
In return?
The penalties, inflicted upon this na
tion for Its war of conquest; are not all
among the soldiers by any means al
though that is severe , enough. The
scourge of smallpox now raging in ev
ery state in the union is the result, as
every physician knows, of that war
and is one of the penalties. It was
brought to this country by returning
soldiers in their infected baggage. But
another and more fearful penalty it
seems is to be inflicted upon us. Chol
era has broken out in Manila and the
danger is so great that General Chaf
fee hustled the Third infantry, whose
term In the Philippines was about to
expire, aboard a transport a week in
advance of the time set for their de
parture so that they might not be
come infected. Cholera seems to be
spread all over the islands.
