SOLDIERS' HOME
Exposure of Repnbllcan Lie A boat This
Institution Figure From the Records
It will be remembered that last week
we quoted two tables prepared by the
republican press bureau at the capi
tol, one published in the State Journal,
April 16, and the other in the Lincoln
Evening News, April 17. The first
table purported to show the total ap
propriations made for eleven different
state institutions, omitting the peni
tentiary, Kearney industrial home,
Milford soldiers' home, and state nor
mal school; the amounts expended for
"the first 12 months;" and "surplus
from first year's quota." The totals
of the figures given in this table wen?
not given by the State Journal, but
being footed show as follows: .
A ppropriations for 2 yrs. .$1,443,010 00
Expended first year 601.198 27
"Surplus" 98,873 51
As was shown last week, the appro
priations were made for a two-year
period, which would make $721,505
available for one .year; hence, if th3
amount given as expended the first
year be correct, the "surplus" would
look like this:
Available for one year $721,505 00
Expended first year 601,198 27
"Surplus" $120,306 73
But attention was then called to the
fact that the pretended expenditures
for the first twelve months, covered In
fact only eleven months, the warrants
for expenditures of March, 1902, not
being issued until after April 1, 1902,
and further, that expenditures for the
erection of buildings, purchase of land,
and other similar items, were care
fully excluded. So that, taking all the
institutions, the actual expenditures
for a whole year will be considerably
more than one-half the total appro
priations for two years, and that tho
pretended surplus is in reality a large
deficit, notwithstanding the fact that
the legislature of 1901 made greater
appropriations for current expenses
than any preceding one.
The figures from this table for the
soUliers' and sailors' home at Gran.l
Island are as follows:
Appropriations for 2 yrs. . .$97,810 00
Expended first year 47,042 14
"Surplus r. .. 1,862 86
The appropriations would allow $48,
905 for each of the two years. The ex
penditures as given -above are really
for eleven months instead of a year;
adding one-eleventh to make a full
year would bring them up to $51.
318.70, and the 'surplus" account wil
look something like this:
Available first year $48,905 on
Expended first year... 51,318 70
Deficiency first year $ 2,413 70
This would mean at the least cal
culation that the institution will lack
about $5,000 of having enough to pa
all expenses for the two years, In
stead of having any "surplus" to
boast about.
But let us see what has been done n
the past for this institution. Appro
priations for any state institution may
be divided into two distinct classes:
For current expenses and for perma
nent improvements and repairs. New
buildings or additions, dynamos, en
gines, etc., have been included under
the head of permanent improvements.
Comparison is made of appropria
tions made by six different legisla
tures for the soldiers and sailors'
home at Grand Island:
Current Permanent
Expenses. Impr'm'ts.
1001 $97,810 $
1S99 78,870 16,000
1S97 76,470
1S95 62.130 . 15,500
i93 56,410
1891 75,710 6.000
It fhus appeai-s that this institution
was given $18,940 more for current
expenses by the legislature of 1901
. than was ever appropriated by former
legislatures. Hence, the present ad
ministration could spend $9,000 a year
more than former ones and still have
a "surplus." ; But the fact is, that
current expenses are really higher
than ever before.

A great howl went up from the re
republican press in 1900 because it
was evident that this institution
would run a deficiency for fuel and
lights; but the incoming republican
administration got an increase of 50
per cent over the appropriation of
1899. The items of increase and de
crease of the appropriations of 1901
compared to 1899 are as follows:
Officers' salaries $ 2,780 $
Employes' wages 3.000 ....
Maintenance . . . . 10.000 ....

The second table, taken from the
Lincoln News, prepared by. the repub
lican press bureau, purports to be a
comparative statement of expenses at
this institution under two administra
tions. The fusion year, under Gov
ernor Poynter, is. said to include ex
penses from April 1, 1899, to April 1,
1900; and the republican year, under
Governors Dietrich and Savage, is said
to include from April 1, 1901, to April
1, 1902. As a matter of fact both per
iods include but eleven months ex
penses. The figures for this institution
are given as follows:
Fusion year $57,504 2 1
Republican year 47,042 14
Republican "saving". . . . .$10,462 10
An excellent showing if true. But

It will be noted that the .republican
press bureau's figures are i&rrect for
the republican year, but lack $17.71
of agreeing with ours for the fusion
year (or eleven months, as both
'years'- are in - fact). . This is a. fair
sample of republican methods in
"making a showing." The average re
publican statistician conceives it to be
his duty to juggle figures where he
can and " lie outright where it seems
necessary. Instead of saving over ten
thousand dollars -'in' '-maintaining the
current expenses was $2,155.95 greater
than the fusion cost. It requires con
siderable gall to include the expendi
tures for buildings, etc., as current
expenses. But the republican . bureau
of misinformation Is ual to any de
mands along that line.
The soldiers' home, so far as appears
from the figures, seems to be one of
the best conducted institutions under
this administration. Wait till we in
vestigate some others. 1
FORGERS AND CANDIDATES
Jonathan Higetas Has a Word to Say
About the Fifth District g. o. p. Can
didate for Congress
Editor Independent: The man who
is nearing his allotted time of three
score and ten, one who come to Ne
braska in the early fifties and has per
sonally witnessed the changes of vari
ous kinds wrought both in territory
and state, can scarcely realize or be
lieve the truths of his own experiences
and observations.
Many of these changes have been
such that every Nebraskan can and
should feel a great pride in them. But
there have been other changes of such
nature that they can but bring the
blush of shame to the cheek of every
good citizen of "therstate. 1" '" "
It is not necessary to enlarge upon
the changes from the prairie sod to
the grain and alfalfa fields; from the
buffalo and antelope to the cattlo
upon a thousand hills; from the lo?
and sod school house to the frame and
palatial brick; from the stage coach
and ponderous ox wagon to the palace
car and iron horse; the crack of the
"bullwacker's" whip to the shriek of
thj locomotive. This is all as It should
be, but there . have been changes
wrought which are not that way, but
are as they should not be. The old
time territorial popular sovereignty
right -of the people to determine local
questions by popular vote, has given
place, or' rather has been usurped by
administrative and supreme court dic
tum. The old fogy practice In vogue in
Nebraska in the earlier days of the
selecting of officials for their known
honesty, integrity and ability has
been supplanted by the "get there" fel
low, whether by fair or foul methods.
The fouler, the more he is sought af
ter by the nominating powers of the
g. o. p. That party seeks the man pos
sessing the greatest amount of gall,
deceptive ability and who can play
the bigger role of hypocrite, possess
ing the most election fraud cunning.
The shrewdest poll book forger ex
pert is ever . and always a preferred
candidate with the powers that be of
that party. . .
This may appear to be rather a se
vere arraignment, but it is not more
severe than true, and here in the Fifth
congressional district every sentence
is susceptible of proof; in fact enough
of it is now of record proof, to sus
tain, the charges. It is not necessar:"
to go outside of my own county of
Furnas to substantiate every allega
tion herein made Insofar as deceptions,
hypocrisies and poll book forgeries,
and the preference for candidates pos
session the requisites are concerned.
All of this has been run down and
proven without calling one single pop
ulist or democrat to the witness stand.
These are the facts: One G.W. Nor
ris is the g. o. p.'s preferred congres
sional candidate in this district. This
is the same Norris who was that par
ty's candidate for district judge in
this judicial district In 1895. When
the returns were all in it is said that
a message from Norris home town,
Beaver City, went over the wires to
B. & M. headquarters saying: "Nor
ris Is short two, what shall I do?"
Of what was done I cite the state su
preme court which heard the evidence
upon this' question; and the following
language is found in their opinion, to
wit: "The evidence - discloses that
when the ? returns s were made and de
livered to the county clerk the tallies
marked opposite the name of Norris
were carried jout as either 40 or 41 and
that the "0" or "1" has been since
fraudulently changed into the figure
"6" so as to make the number read
46."" ;-; 'r
... After this case went ta the supreme
court other forgeries were discovered
In this county. In Beaver City pre
cinct .Norris' vote ended with the lucky
figures "40" and there, too. a figure
"6" was made out of the "0." Ther s
is no direct proof that Norris com
mitted these forgeries s but there
possession of the poll books and pre
tended to discover an error In the can
vass of the votes, but the evidence ie
incontrovertible that the books were
changed after the precinct board
made the return to the county clerk.
This proof is in the shape of a pri
vate poll book made by" a republican
editor at the time of making the pre
cinct canvass, and tallied with the
official books at that time, but after
Norris had had access to the official
books this private book was short six
tallies. Part of the precinct board
nave openljr declared that the official
books tallied by actual comparison
with the private book when the count
was made and not one of them have
ever disputed this fact, although this
same editor with this proof of forgery
in his possession Is persistently boom
ing Norris for congress and yet pos
ing as a decent kind of a republican.
JONATHAN HIGGINS.
Cambridge, Neb.
The State Press
Populist and democratic papers over
the state are beginning to use more
space in discussing available candi
dates for governor. Up to" this time
but little has been said regarding can
didates for the other offices.,
I. M. Rice of the Valentine Democrat
acknowledges receipt of a marked copy
of the Red Cloud Nation containing an
article which says "that Mr. Damerell
is the coming man to nominate for
governor." Mr. Rice inquires, "Who
in Helen Blazes is Dr. Damerell? His
brand does not . appear in the Demo
crat." In another paragraph Mr. Rice
states his position as follows:
"We want a man for governor tried
and true. Not some new man of whom
our people have never heard and who
Is perhaps not known outside his pre
cinct or nearest grocery. "Vye would
take pleasure in supporting some man
who has done something to make him
worthy of the people's confidence. Such
a man can be found in the person of
W. J. Bryan or W. V. Allen. We are
tired of experiments and think it is
time for the people to know the man
they vote for.
The Schuyler Quill of course is ener
getic In advocating the candidacy of
John C. Sprecher. It quotes as sup
porting Mr. Sprecher the Stanton Reg
ister and the Holt County Independent.
Commenting on a paragraph in the
Crete Democrat, wherein Editor Bowl
by suggested that "John Is all right
and would be a good running mate
for auditor with C. J. Smyth for gov
ernor." The Quill says "not on your
life, Bowlby : Sprecher is not seeking
office and the Quill emphatically ob
jects to using him to strengthen the
ticket for some other candidate. If
fusion is effected this year the pop
ulists will insist on their natural
rights and furnish the candidate to
head the ticket, and John C. Sprecher
is a strong man. No, Bowlby, that was
the unkindest cut of all." ;
The People's Banner; renegade pop
ulist ahd now republican for revenue,
thinks the papers that- are booming
Sprecher for governor might just as
well "cork up their wind. If -there is
fusion in Nebraska this yeari-the can
didate will not be Sprecher or " any
other populist. He will be a demo
crat." ''; '- ' ' !
C. L. Mayes of the Rushville Stand
ard is also in favor of "the tall syca
more of the Platte," knowing him to
be a man of unquestionable ability,
honesty and integrity. The Standard,
however, admits that Dr. Damerell
and Mr. Koeningstein would no doubt
make good governors.
The Ord Journal brings ? out the
name of Dr. C. E.' Coffin for governor,
saying: "He is clean in character in
every way and his executive ability
is far above the average man even in
the position which is spoken of."
Some of the doctor's friends, however,
are urging him to become a candidate
for auditor. The Journal says that
if a democrat is to be nominated it
knows of no one who would better
unite the forces and make a better
governor than W. H. Thompson.
W. H. Smith of the Seward Independent-Democrat
says that "some of th
Seward friends of R. R. Schick have
suggested presenting his name to the
populist state convention for the nom
ination of commissioner of public
lands and buildings." And that Mr.
Schick would make a good commis
sioner as he is quite well known over
the state and could undoubtedly go in
to the convention with a pretty strong
following. -
: Wahlquist of the Hastings Democrat
believes that "the talk of Congressman
Stark for fusion candidate for gov
ernor is a great mistake. His ser
vices are needed in the Fourth dis
trict this year more than ever. He is
by all odds the strongest candidate for
congress and it will take a strong can
didate and vigorous campaign id the
Fourth district this year. A change
in the Fourth district might be dis
astrous." C. E. Williamson of the Pawnee
Chief says that "up to date the repub
lican situation may be summed up aa
follows: "Damn Savage, but for God's
sake see Bartley before making any
nomination."
O. E. Walters of the Petersburg In
dex quotes from the Lindsay Post an
offer of Edwr A. B rod bo 11 to furnish
Platte county with a court house free
of charge in case the county seat is
moved from Columbus to Lindsay. Mr.
Brodboir says: "I will erect a brown
stone court house, furnish it with all
the latest modern furniture and flxr
tures to cost not less than ninety
thousand dollars and pay for it all my
oelf and donate it to the county." it
seems that Platte Center and Humph
rey have been making "goo-goo eyes"
at the county seat and offer to erect
a $65,000 court house. So Mr. Biodboll
raises the ante.
The populist county central com
mittee of Custer county is called to
meet in Broken Bow on May 24.
J. A. Baird of the Cedar Rapid3 Out
look feels pessimistic over the out
look for regulating the trusts. In an
editorial on the beef trust he says we.
are compelled to believe that the beef
trust along with all the other trusts
will go on flourishing like green bay
trees. All intelligent people know
that the government is in a very large
measure controlled by the trusts. The
only law we have against these insti
tutions was passed when the trusts
were in their infancy and when their
power was infinitely less than it is
now. If through all the years of their
comparative weakness the law against
them was utterly inoperative, how can
we now hope to crush or regulate
them?,, It is too late."
The populist county central com
mittee of Phelps county is called to
meet at Holdrege on May 10.
Another change has taken place on
the staff of the Red Cloud Nation, Mr.
A. C. Hosmer, former manager, ha a
resigned and Miss Emma Hale, a
niece of J. P, Hale, takes his pla
No change, however, will be made in
its political attitude and the Nation
will continue to boom Dr. Damerell
for governor.
CAMPAIGN FUNDS
Populist Chairman Reports Collections to
Date Many Counties Delinquent
To the Populists of Nebraska: I
deem it proper at this time to call at
tention to the fact that all indebted
ness connected with past campaigns
should be -fully cleared up before the
coming state conventions. The "old
debt of 1900" was not fully, cleared up
before the campaign of 1901 began,
and was a serious impediment to the
collection of funds for the latter cam
paign. ' '
Only 36 counties have fully paid up
their share of this old debt, 22 of them
having overpaid to the extent of
$287.84; and 54 of the counties are still
delinquent for amounts ranging from
$2 up, aggregating the sum of $1,054.84.
About one-half of this unpaid balance
is still needed to fully clear up the
old accounts. The claim of Mrs. Gou
gar and part of two or three smaller
claims are still pending. A detailed
statement of each county's standing
will not be given at this time.
Exclusive of the sale of Liberty
Building cards (which will be reported
separately), the total receipts from
the beginning of the campaign of 1901
to the present time (May 5) have been
$1,309.14. Out of $2,448 which should
have been paid by the 90 counties, only
$865.14 has been received; and exclu
sive of county officers, populist offi
cials, who during the year drew in the
neighborhood of $55,000 in salaries,
have contributed all told $386.00.
Up to the close of the campaign last
