Eric Johnson of the Saunders coun

he ha3 gtnrted a building fund sim
ilar to The Independent's Liberty
Building plan. He offers a six-year

for $10. It ought to prove a success.
Edwin S. Eves of the Holt county
Independent suggests the name of
John O. Yeiser of Omaha for attorney
general, in the event that office goes
to a populist. Mr. Eves also questions
the Ord Journal at some length re
garding Dr. Coffin's qualifications for
Kcveinor, believing that the "farmer
canr'ir'nte" plea is not sufficient. Ts
or was Dr. Coffin," he asks, a special
beneficary of the corporations; did
he ride on a pass when he held an
appointment under a populist admin
istration? What is his knowledge of
and position on the question of asses
si"? the corporations of Nebraska?
Ii is he got the ability to introduce,
promulgate and maintain the advanced
position of our party on the material
reforms we are pledged to advocate?
Expi rive tact and a knowledge of
agri'v'Hure is not needed so much as
ability, honesty and backbone. Rail
road rates in Nebraska are 33 1-3 per
cnt too high railroad assessments
?re 33 1-3 too low. There is abund
ance of evidence to substantiate both
of these statements, and the burden
falls equally upon the consumers and
producers of this state."
Alfred Pont of the Stanton Register
believes that M. F. Harrington
should be the nominee for congress in
the Sixth district; and that with
Sprecher for governor, Smyth for at
torney general and Sutherland for
auditor, we could sweep the state.
"With these three men elected," he
says, "who would dare say that the
railroad assessment would not be
raised. In the next fusion platform
there will be a demand made that the
railroad assessment be raised at least
a third, so that they will pay their
share of the state taxes. Not only that,
tut we will nominate men who will
enforce the demand. The fusion plat
form will not be long but will name
a ticket that if elected will make It
mean just what it says."
"Our esteemed friend, W. B. Price,
former deputy auditor under Cor
nell," says R. O. Adams of the Grand
Isind Democrat, "wa3 selected by
Gov. Savage to succeed the late J.
Sterling ilorton as St. Louis Fair com
missioner. 'Tis a good selection and
we congratulate friend Price."
"The pops who try to drive Mr.
Stark out of congress at this time,"
remarks Col. C. J. Bowlby In the Crete
Democrat, "are making a great mis
take. There was a time when it
would have been wise to make him a
candidate for governor; but these same
pops would not listen to a change from
$5,000 to ?2,500 a year, not even to In
sure success in the state, when this
district was fusion by a safe majority.
Mr. Stark is needed in the Fourth to
insure success and C. J. Smyth Is need
ed as the head of the state ticket."
"Give us Stark (for governor,"
says 'Gene Walrath in the Polk County
Democrat, "and the people will ratify
the wisdom of the nomination In No
vember. Populists can rally around
the banner of Stark as they can that
of none other. Stark Is from five to
ten thousand voters stronger than
any other man who has been mention
ed for the place."

Tribune does not believe it Is a good
plan to "go chasing after dark horses
(referring to Dr. Damerell and D. J.
Koenigstein) when we have such men
as R. D. Sutherland, C. J. Smyth,
Judge Adams, W. H. Thompson and
W. V. Allen on whom the laurels bay
be placed, all of whom have the conn
dence of our people and either of
whom could lead us to certain victory
in November."
F. A. Watklns. of the Hastings Re
publican (independent) suggests the
name of Frank J. Morgan of Platts
mouth for lieutenant governor.
"Populists are lining up all over the
state," says Editor Beal of the Custer
County Beacon, "and the state con
vention at Grand Island will remind
those of the early days of the reform
movement."
James R. Cary of the Neligh Yeoman
in discussing the congressional situa
tion in. the Third, favors Robinson in
preference to Tawney on the ground
that longer service means more effic
ient service.
"The Red Cloud Nation," says C.
L. Mayes in the Rushville Standard,
"is trying hard to raise public senti
ment in favor of Mr. Robert Damerell
for governor. Public sentiment is too
strong in favor of John C. Sprecher
to spring a new horse at this date."
It is reported that the Harlan Coun
ty Democrat, Republican City, will
suspend. Bro. Ludi lost his office by
fire some days ago.
Occasionally republican papers find
hard sledding. The Polk County Re
public, Osceola, has been consolidated
with the Rrecord, and Polk county is
again with oniy one republican paper.
"Some newspapers," remarks J. A.
Loudermilch of the Stromsburg Week
ly News, "have just awakened to the
fact that W. L. Stark is a possible
candidate for governor of Nebraska.
The News mentioned this fact several
months ago, and gave its reasons why
Mr. Stark was the proper man for
governor, and which was copied widely
throughout the state."
F. P. Compton of the Greeley Citi
zen believes "there will be a hot con
test in the populist state convention
for the nomination for governor" and
that Sprecher and Sutherland "have
more than a show.'
"Why not have two 'heroes' on the
republican ticket in 1904," asks Sena
tor Allen in the Madison Mail. "Roose
velt and Funston, one the author of
'Alone In Cuba' and the other, 'How
I Kidnapped Agulnaldo.' "

"Bill Price," says W. H. Stout In
Saline County Independent, comment
ing on his appointment by Gov. Sav
age, "is backed by political luck as
all parties favor him."
W. H. Stout of the Saline County
Independent remarks that "if Senator
Allen and would-be President Bryan
will remain at home while the fusion
conventions are in session at Grand
Islandv the parties may get together
a?raln and do some business. All
parties are killed by the fools who
want to lead." Query: Does Mr.

School Apportionment
. It is wonderful to note the gyrations
now being made by certain republican
organs because the May school ap
portionment is over the $400,000 mak.
Formerly, when the populist adminis
tration apportioned large sums, It was
"McKinley prosperity" that did it;
now it is the excellent work of Treas
urer Stuefer, Land Commissioner
Follmer, et al. The state officers are
the ones who deserve the credit,
whether they are populists or repub
licans, and no fair-minded man would
refuse to give credit for every good act
performed by any of the republican
state officials.;. Part of every appor
tionment is not due to the efficiency
of the officers in charge when It is
made. The United States bonds pur
chased many years ago still continue
to bear $300 revenue every six months,
regardless of whether a populist or a
republican treasurer Is in charge, and
no special credit is due the treasurer
because of Its receipt. The Increase
in the fusion apportionment was due
In great : measure to the energy ' of
"Uncle Jake" Wolfe, the populist land
commissioner; but while Uncle Jake
was collecting for the then present ap
portionments, he was also leasing
many thousands of acres, the rentals'
district as Burkett. Burkett durlne
fcaaqoaJthiciOuJ by Mrtwg- terms in - congress has- done
Mr. Follmer; and Mr. Meserve was
making investments, the interest on
which is now being collected by Treas
urer Stuefer. The present apportion
ment is made up of the following
items:
State School Taxes $122,514.99
Interest on School and Sa
line Lands Sold 122,281.78
Interest on School and Sa
line Lands Leased 78,332.88
Interest on United States
Bonds . .. 300.00
Interest on County Bonds 64,424.94
Interest on Warrants 27,058.94
Interest on school district
Bonds .. . 487.04
Game and Fish License Fees 2,058.00
Peddlers License .. ........ 89.10
Embalmers' Bal. 1.05
Total $417,548.72
The item of "interest onf warrants,
$27,058.94" , is directly to ijfe credited
to the wisdom of the populist -board of
educational lands and funds. Every
warrant on which that $27,,000 inter
est accrued was purchased v by Treas
urer Meserve. Had the former repub
lican policy been carried out, there
would have been no investment In
warrants, . and this approtionment
would have been that much smaller.
A large portion of the interest on
schools lands leased is directly due to
Uncle Jake's good work. But give
the devil his due. Credit the repub
lican officials with all they are entitled
to. Benevolent assimiliation didn't
make the school apportionment, and
the fact that the present officials are
trying to keep up the pace set for them
by their fusion predecessors is good
evidence that fusion has done good
for Nebraska. Former republican ad
ministrations never reached the mark
yet they could have done much bet
ter, with every security bearing high
er interest rates than now and just
as much land to get-income from.
Editor Rosewater of the Omaha Bee
is determined that the state board of
equalization shall understand that he
was not bluffing when he asked that
the board should assess railroad fran
chises. Tuesday E. W. Simeral, re
presenting the relator in the case of
State ex rel. Bee Publishing Co. v.
Savage, et al, filed his motion In the
supreme court asking a writ of man
damus. The court issued an alternat
ive writ, returnable June 3, directing
the state board to reassess the railroad
and telegraph property within the
state or show cause why it should not.
The Bee remarks that "the members of
the state, board of equalization now
have an opportunity to tell the su
preme court why." Attorney General
Prout will represent the board, Sim
eral will appear for the relator, and
every "chief guy" railroad attorney
in the state will probably want to ap-.
pear as "friend of the court." The
suit Is a timely one and will result In
a judicial interpretation of the vexed
question whether the board has suf
ficient law, or any law, requiring It
to assess railroad franchises. The out
come will be watched with interest. If
the writ is made mandatory, then
Rosewater will strengthen his claims
for turning down Stuefer and Weston
(Savage being already shelved) ; but
the republican platform on railroad
assessments is written, no matter
which way the case goes. .
The republican papers can now
point to the distintegration of the pop-,
ulist party. W .C. Griffith and H. F.

Mr. Bride's comment in his Wash
ington correspondence last week of the
Judge Tibbets Interview, wras right in
line with the sentiments expressed by
a number of Nebraskans in letters
written to The Independent. James
M. Whitaker, of Falls City, says: "I
was much, surprised at the interview
of my democratic friend, judge Tib
bets, where, on his return from Wash
ington, he eulogizes Burkett, lauds
him to the skies, and winds up by say
ing that there is no man;so well fitted
and qualified to represent' the First
nothing that would commend him to
a true Jeff ersonian democrat. I be
lieve our friend, Judge Tibbets, must
have fallen under the influence of the
"reorganizes" while at Washington.
There Is no stronger symptom than
when a democrat endorses a republi
can that has supported every meas
ure under one of the most un-American
administrations since the days
of Hamilton. The only hope Is, that
the State Journal may have lied."
The Rushville Standard is very
much aggrieved because the fusion
state conventions have been called for
Grand .Island, June 24, and intimates
that if , farmers had been consulted
the convention would have been set
for some other city and late in the
fall. The fact is. Senator Howard of
Hamilton, "representing the farmer
class," was insistent that the conven
tion should go to Grand Island in
order to be nearer to the center of
populist ' population; and he was
equally insistent that the date be June
24 or 25, Unless held before the first
of March or after the middle of Sep
tember, there is no date that will not
find farmers In some part of Ne
braska extremely busy; and it is Im
possible to suit everybody either as
to date and place. The only thing
that can be done is to do the best pos
sible according to " the opinions presented.
The Independent is pleased to note
that Governor Savage has appointed
W. B. Price of Lincoln as successor
of the Jate J. Sterling Morton of the
Louisiana Exposition commission. Mr.
Price was deputy insurance auditor
during the later part of Auditor Cor
nell's administration. The commis
son consists of Messrs. Bruce and
Wattles of Omaha and Mr. White of
North Platte and Messrs. Rudge and
Price of Lincoln. There is no au
thority of law for the appointment of
such commission but Gov. Savage ap
pointed one oh his own motion In or
der that the interests of Nebraska
might be looked after until the next
legislature should take some final ac
tion. Should the next legislature
make an appropriation and provide
for a commission to represent Ne
braska the present commission would
be replaced by the new one legally
authorized.
County Attorney John Roach of
Hamilton has resigned to accept the
pastorate of the First Baptist church
at Decatur, 111. M. N. Stanley was ap
pointed to fill the vacancy.. This is
a loss of one fusion officer, Mr. Stan
ley being a republican.
And Populists Too
Democrats throughout Nebraska
will do well to see to it that none but
democrats are sent to the state con
vention. Men who are democrats only
for the purpose, of obtaining fat of
fices for themselves or members of
their families, men who are democrats
only in order that they may handl
campaign funds, men who are demo
crats for revenue only, - and who
would sacrifice every democratic prin
ciple rin. order to gain individual ad
vantage, these are the kind of men
that should be invited to remain at
nome by the democrats of every coun
ty in Nebraska. R. L. Metcalfe, in
World-Herald.
A Growing Sentiment
There are a good many people in
Omaha who believe with Mr. Mcin
tosh that the city ought not to permit
some wealthy trust magnate to sit in
his office in Philadelphia and levy on
the citizenship of the city exorbitant
prices for gas while at the same time
defying every effort to compel them
to pay a just proportion of the public
burden. It is apparent from the dis
cussions one hears everywhere con
cerning this corporation taxation con
troversy that it is sure to result in a
strong municipal ownership campaign
next year. " In seeking to evade the
establishment of a fair and correct
valuation of their plants for taxation,
in pursuance of -the holding of the su
preme court that they should be as
sessed at 40 per cent of their fair val
ue, the corporations are flying in the
face of an awakened and outspoken
public sentiment, which is more pro
nounced than it has for years been
possible by agitation to make it.
Omaha correspondence, Lincoln State
Journal.
A Difference of Opinion
The state cannot very well afford to
lose John T. Mallalieu, the very effi
cient head of the industrial school for
boys at Kearney. Except for a short
interval during the pop invasion, Mr.
Mallalieu has had charge of the insti
tution since it was founded and has
proven a success. But as he says, It is
dangerous to depend on an office tor
one's Hie career and he avails himself
of an offered place in the business
field that will afford him a good income
and the prospect of promotion. All his
old friends will regret, however, that
he is going to leave the state to take
a place In a mining company at Ida
ho Springs, Colorado. State Journal.
Governor Savage evidently had a
different opinion of John's "very ef
ficient" management, when he called
for his resignation. John used up
about $60,000 the first year out of a
$97,000 appropriation, arid that will
leave Dr. J. V. Beghtol, his succes
sor," rather slim picking with only
$37,000 to run the school another
year.
A LIVE MULLET HEAD
Some Peculiar Ideas That he Had and the
Manner of Defending Them When
Talking to a Democrat
The editor of The Independent ran
against a live mullet, head the other
day and listened to a controversy that
he was engaged in with a democrat.
The mullet head was declaring most
vehemently: - r ?
"You want to ruin the country. If
the democrats could do it they would
destroy all business. That is what
you are after."
"What makes you think that?" asked
the democrat. "Haven't I as much In
terest in the country as you have. If
all business was ruined, as you say,
mine would go along with the - rest.
Why should I want to- rum myself?
You will acknowledge that I do four
or five times as much business as you
and if all business was ruined, I would
lose much more than you would."
"That was what you did when you
were in power the last time. We don't
want any more". Grover Cleveland
times." V "
"The Grover Cleveland policy was
supported by a very large majority of
the republicans both in the house and
senate, . and those republicans who
fought Grover Cleveland have nearly
all left the republican party. They
were called traitors for fighting Cleve
land while those of the republicans
who supported Cleveland were called
the genuine, stalart republicans.
When you are talking about Cleveland
times, you are denouncing a policy
that is supported by every republican
leader today," said the democrat.
"The majority of the democrats in
both the house and senate fought
Cleveland with all their might, while
a majority, and a very large majority
of the republicans in both houses, sup
ported him and his monetary policy.
The republicans are responsible for
that and not the democrats. But what
do you think of the present policy of
the republican party? How do you
like the reports of the war In the Phil
ippines? Are you in favor of that?
"Of course I am," replied the mullet
head. "The war in the Philippines is
carried on under an order Issued by
Lincoln and written with his own
hand. I saw that in my last paper. I
am a Lincoln republican and always
have been and always will be. l am
going to stand by the army. You can
play copperhead If you want to, but
I won't."
"Do you really believe that Abra
ham Lincoln ever wrote an order with
his own hand authorizing the burn
ing of towns, the killing of all the in
habitants over ten years of age in a
large scope of country and making the
whole region a howling wilderness?
Do you really believe that?" asked the
democrat.
"Of course I do," replied the mulet
head. "Didn't I tell you I saw It in
my last paper?"
"That settles it," said the democrat.
Then he came over to where this
writer was standing and said:
"That man would vote the republi
can ticket, if the leaders should crown
a king in Washington and station sol
diers at every polling place in the
country to see to it that there were
enough votes cast to sustain them."
Then he was asked: "What will
ypu do if the gold democrats capture
the next democratic national conven
tion and nominate Dave Hill or some
man like him? Would you still vote
the democratic ticket?"
He hesitated. Party prejudice still
had its hold on him as well as on the
mullet head. At last he said very
decidedly: "I would not. Not that
kind of a democratic ticket." It was
very plain that he hoped even under
those circumstances that he would be
able to continue to vote some kind of
democratic ticket.
Populists should all feel thankful
that they are independents and that
no partisan prejudice exerts its pow
erful influence upon them. That they
are free men and do not have to com
bat what many other iJust as patriotic
and honest men have to struggle with.
A party name has no influence over a
populist. At the last two national elec
tions they, to a man, voted for men of
another party and they did not have to
make any struggle to get away from
unreasoning prejudices before they
did it..
Feels "Riled"
Editor Independent: I have read
your "heart to heart" talk you put up
about so many populists taking re
publican papers. Allow me to say
that that is the progressive party, and
I have no interest whatever in your
paper, much less the Courier, or party
and never hava had; and I can't see
why you and the Courier should try to
impose your papers on people who
never voted for a single man of your
party; and so long as the "grand old
party" keeps ' her moorings, I'll not
need any "sore-head" paper like the
Courier to come to my address. Three
times I've informed the Courier to
stop the sample copies, so persistent
has he been to have parties read his
rot, '
When I read a populist paper. 1
want it published by a man who has
not been turned down by his own par
ty, and who has not passed out at the
back door of fraternal organizations.
You have "kindly" heard from me.

progressive treaty with the Sultan of

How It Affects us
Eut, as the greatest observer of hu
man nature has recorded, the hand
is subdued to what is works in; and
for throe rears cf hostility In the Phil
ippines the Inevitable Nemesis now;
confrorts us. This is a world where
effect inexorably follows cause. You
cannot have war without inhumanity,
and the practice of inhumanity dead-;
ens and brutalizes character. When
it is a race war, particularly a war of
Anglo-Saxons against a colored race,'
the white man's moral deterioration
is faciliated by contempt, by arrog
ance and by injustice. - Most truly was
it said in 1898 that the question was
not what shall we do with the Phil
ippines, but what will the Philippines
do with us. Prof. Schurman.
