The recent speech of President Roosevelt plying" such glowing ac counts of 'the success attained in the effort' of benevolent assimilation is not at all borne out by what has been published in various cablegrams. The fact?' seem, to be that another and costly campaign is about to begin in the island of Mindanao against the Moros. There has also been more fight ing in Caviteprovnee In which sev eral soldiers were killed. Jt does not deceive the unprejudiced reader to call these forces that are till in the field, lad rones. C.avi.te.has always been the hotted of "revolution against the Span ish, and as jt is close to Manila, if order cannot be maintained there and civjl government instituted, what may we expect of . the more distant pro vinces. War, goes on as it has gone o'n for. til Q. last century and there is lio mcrp prospect, now of quiet civil government than there has been in the past., The last, medical report shows the death of 72 soldiers in fifteen days, the. diseases, being cholera, dysentery and malaria. . One of the most pathetic things of all this cruel business is a statement .? . T t 1 f m . ituiu jiaoina,-wnois suunem a pris oner on the island of Guam. In re fusing to take the oath of allegiance to the United States he said: "I can not get over the idea-that others shall legislate for-me and my people; and In so doing govern us. It is better to die In exile than to prostitute my con science for at best I have but a few years to live." Aguinaldo will not come to this country and lecture as the im perialist, papers have been declaring, but will (go- back to his farm and cul tivate that.- The shallowness and ranl'ce of imperialist papers are ex emplified by the Chicago Tribune which calls these two men "counterfeit WashingtonsJ' .-The position that both of them have taken in regard to the conquest of their country by a foreign array is honorable, and would prob- atly have been adopted by Washing ton or- any- other patriot under the tame circumstances. - "- It is announced that General Bates Trill be ordered back to the Philippines as commander-in-chief of the islands. This will be the sacrifice Of another gallant officer. No officer of the United States army ever has, or ever will ac quire any honor In wars of conquest. They go to the Philippines, come back, if their lives are spared, with impaired health: and do the duty that they are ordered to do. but there are no plaudits frOm the people and the future historian; if he mentions their bervices at all, will give them but a line, while to De Wet, Delarey and Botha,' who fought for liberty, pages will be devoted. Roosevelt has been making "stren uous" efforts to reorganize the repub lican party in the south. It has long been known that what was called re publicanism down, there was a close corporation Into which no more were allowed to enter than would fill the federal offices. These men have worked, so Roosevelt thinks, to pre vent the election of any republicans from the south to congress, for fear that when elected the said represen tatives would control the appoint ments to 'office. Roosevelt has been blowing the whole crowd up and tell ing them that they must change their tactics.. He; announces that he wants "the t republican party in the south, even thought.lt be in a minority, to be actuated by unselfish; motives." When Teddy gets a . republican politician, either south .or north, to act'f rom "un selfish motives" it will be'in another country from this. .--." ,. .. The attempt of John W. Gates to capture the Colorado Fuel and Iron company and attach it to the .steel trust seems to -have been frustrated. If he had-succeeded it would in all probability have gone the way of tho Argo Starch company at Nebraska City . 'Attorney General Smyth trie 1 to save that manufacturing concern to Nebraska, but the mullet heads down that way wouldn't have. It. "Republican ' moral rottenness goes from the very top to the bottom of the whole organization. The Chicago Inter-Ocean recently published the statement that Shelby M. Culloro, the present senator, abstracted from the state - treasury $17,500 when he was governor and - when presented ; with the proof replied: "I never consid ered I was a borrower of state treas ury funds, but considered it a matter in the hands of my personal friends. When I ran for governor-1 speat a lot of money and the first thing I knew I was in over my, head. . Then it was that" all this occurred." Cullom nver refunded the money, ' a The Joe .Parkerltes of Kansas arfc determined to have j the road wde enough so that they can walk in the middleand be solitary and alone. It Is said that seven of them held a state convention down in Kansas the other day and nominated . a state ticket. The great dailies printed full reports of the convention, but the reporters all forgojtn rakenm JJj,mJr delegates,' "or if 'they "did, the Associated-press cut itout. The first act; of. the . British after securing, supremacy in South Africa was to reduce wages In the mines from $7.50 to "$8.75 per month, The con sequence is -that not more than one third of the mines are -being worked. Instead of the "boom that was pre dicted when; the British should get control business Is paralyzed. One of the Boer ministers in Pre toria preached a sermon on the can tinued nationality -of the ; Boers. To define his position,'' he read the follow ing, from Tennyson ;(; Sir, If a state submit At qnce'she may be blotted out at ' .. once. '" ' And swallowed- in ' the conqueror's ; chronicle. Whereas In wars of freedom -and de fence ; ; : "--', The glory and grief of battle won and . lost . J ::; f Solders a race together yea, though . they, fail. The names 'of those who fought and 7 fell are like 1 - ' A banke.dup.fire that flashes out again From century to century, and at last May Jead them on to victory I hope ' " so " ' ' Like phantoms of the gods. "" " Those , lines seem also to describe the feeling of the Filipinos. One thousand Boers, including Gen eral Cronje, his wife and his staff,' sailed -from, the island of St. Helena for South Africa last week. Ey charging the citizens of this country 40 per cent more for the same goods than it sold them to Canadians and the rest of the world, the steel trust is able to announce that its net earnings for the last three months was $37,691,856,. .This is $11,327,856 more than for the same period last year, or an increase of practically 43 per cent. At this rate the profits of the combination for the entire year would., be only, a trifle below $150, 000,000. The reason' why; the public is forced ' to pay prices which give the trust a surplus of over $3,000,000 a week is easily discovered. The one word "tariff" explains it all. The people In Porto Rico and the Philippines have about as much of the freedom Of the press as they have in Russia. Santiago Iglesias, sent to Porto Rico by President Gompers of the federation of labor, has been ar rested for issuing, a pamphlet criticis ing the insular authorities for their attitude on the recent strike. Imper ialism brooks no such thing as the freedom of the press for it well com prehends that it could not long en dure where free speech and a free press were allowed. The inhumanity and cruelty in at tempting to govern islands from Washington which are scattered all over the world, is manifest in the case of Commander Schroder of the navy, who is trying to govern the island of Guam, which is outside of the consti tution and only an "appurtenance" at tached to this government by Justice Brown. When Captain Leary was there he paid attention to no law; he adopted the old kingly statement: "I am the state," and went ahead just as it-suited him. .The navy depart ment at last concluded that some of his doings were "absurd," removed him and sent Schroeder. A native was found guilty of murder in a police court and many thought that he was not guilty at all, so an appeal was made to Schroeder. Schroeder could find nothing in the navy regulations that constituted him a. superior court, so he suspended sentence and sent the case to the secretary of the navy. The secretary of the navy turned it-over to the attorney general; That office is so behind in its business and Knox has to spend so much of his time fighting the trusts that it is said that it may be years before he will reach it. Meantime the native languishes in prison and may die behind the bars before the case is decided, just as he would under the old Spanish regime. What would Lincoln have said of gov ernment of that sort? Several states and cities are com plaining about wildcat insurance com panies. 1 In Chicago much insurance has been taken and ; premiums paid in concerns' under some corporate name where the company has never been -incorporated att all. It is just plain stealing. ; -- - ? 'Republicans are getting a little more candid. They' have heretofore made platforms and disregarded them after election, but before election they have always called upon their candidates to stand upon the platform. Now the Chicago Tribune says: "Re-elect Sen ator Spooner, even If 'he remain silent as to the platform, for the single and sufficient reason that he has done the nation and the state great service." - ' It. Is announced that Palizzolo, the No.' 1, or head chief of the Italian Mafia, has been convicted of" murder &nd sentenced to 30 years solitary con finement. The Italians in ihis country hafe watched the trial, Wnich lasted tcnmonth3, with the mostf intense in terest, as thousands of them have been bounded clear across tbe ocean by that murderous 'society.! Thev now V They will watch nervously the news from Italy to see If the Mafia will be able to rescue him from prison or in any way alleviate his condition. :3. J. Hill made a speech before the farmers' congress the other day which is rather amusing from an economic view. He says he would not put a straw in the way of the isthmian ca-nair-but "instead -of spending $500,000, 000 there he thinks that $50,000,000 had better be spent on irrigation that would , result in an Immense increase of freight On his roads. He would like to seQ $40,000,000 spent on the Mississippi from New Orleans to St. Louis, but not a cent above that noint. because that,, would introduce water, competition within the field of his roads and he wants all that traffic without- any competition from water communications to the sea; Great is Jim Hill, . Frank Pi Wfllsh nf Vaneaa ntr nriin "has just paid a visit to Cleveland says tnat tne west will have none of Hill, Cleveland or Whitney and that Tom T 1 a 14 1 . - -. . . ... jonnsuu win De tne next presidential candidate or the democratic party. He says that the whol wpst is . for Johnson, Bryan Is for him, and that tne east is at least not against him. ; The story, that was so widely pub lished that Teddy in a competition with the crack sharn shooters of the Boer army put five shots from a re volver In succession into one and the same bullet hole at fifty yards, is be lieved by every mullet head in the land, yet every ordnance officer knows that in the scientific tests where a re volver is screwed into an absolutely stationary vice, no ammunition ever yet made would put five successive bul lets front, a revolver into the same hole at fifty yards. If the great plu tocratic dallies should announce that Teddy had roped the moon, hauled it down and cut a slice off from it, ev ery mullet head in the land would religiously believe every word of the story. When the president visits Milwaukee any ' one ' can dine with him at the Pfister hotel by paying $12. Not many wage-workers yill be there, as it would take a whole week's wagtfs for tho most of them to pay for that one meal. But we suppose that most of them will vote 'er straight any way. ! -. " While the Spaniards have been im porting coal from England to run their locomotives over immense un worked coal fields they have spent their revenues trying to maintain au thority over distant subject peoples. The Spanish minister to this country announces that the loss of colonies has resulted in a great revival of busi ness in his country and more pros perity than it has known for centur ies. Spain will now develop her own resources and soon begin to export coal instead of importing it. A "gentleman writing to the eastern papers from Louisiana says that every democratic candidate for congress in the south is advocating a tariff on lum ber, wool, rice, sugar and cotton man ufactures and that in the next demo cratic platform there will be a straight out plank for high tariffs.. A tariff on lumber will' be especially in sisted upon. Under the high tariffs on that article the northern forests have been denuded, the lumber region for the future now lies in the southern states, and the southerners will insist on the same kind of stealing from the consumers of lumber that the north ern syndicates have so long enjoyed. It therefore appears . that if there is any effective resistance to exorbitant tariffs, it must come from the states of the northwest. ' The territory 'of. the United States would make sixty nations as large as England and Wales combined, or thirty-one as large as Italy, or eighteen as large as Spain. Take five of the first class powers of Europe, namely. Great Britain, Germany, Austria, France and Italy and to those add Spain, Portugal, Switzerland, Denmark and Greece, weld them Into one empire and you could lay It down In the United States a first time, a second time and a THIRD time and have room to spare. Yet Whitelaw Reid and other - snobs and sycophants go over the sea to fawn and , worship at the feet of the petty monarchg of the old world, all of which fills the populist with disgustT He knows that this Is the greatest nation on earth and be lieves that It should lead; and not fawn. ...... : .. '. The Pacific Cable. (Continued from Page One.) Manila to the Asiatic coast 630 miles. While the depth of the Pacific is some what greater than that at which any cable has been laid, the difference be tween its depth and the greatest depth reached by cables ; in the Atlantic would be very slight, the cable recently laid from Haiti to the Windward isl ands being In 18,000 feet of water." The recent survey for a cable between the Pacific coast and. Manila justifies the belief that a route can be selected in which ;the depth will not exceed 20,000 feet and may. not exceed 18,000 feet The recent survey made by the bureau of equipment, navy depart ment, under the direction of Rear Ad miral R. B. Bradford; disclosed the greatest ocean 'depths heretofore known lying between Midway Island and Guam and. being: 31,614 feet, or but 66 feet short of six miles depth of water. . . This depression, however, which has beenrf named the "Nero deep, -:. in honor of the vessel ; from which the sounding was made, can be avoided by a detour, and it is believed that the necessary depth will not ex ceed 20,000 feet and may not be more than 18,000 feet.

Hardy's Column It really looks as though the an thracite mine owners were actually stimulating the strike. Theyare wait ing for the old last5 year's surplus to be used, and the price permanently advanced four or five dollars a ton, then they will make peace and set the men to work. We have ttwo cities that are work ing a reform for the common people. They are Cleveland and San Fran cisco. If we had a few more such city governments the whole country would be better. When no railroad steel rails or pig iron is imported ' and millions of pounds are exported what is the need and what does the government gain from a high protective tariff on those commodities? There can be no other reason only to make the people of the United States pay more than the peo ple of Europe for the same goods. If they would let us go to Europe and buy American goods and bring them back to America free it would be much better. . . Russia, Germany' Canada and nearly all the governments on the face of the earth are moving, to increase their tariff on American goods, making it as high as our tariff on their goods.

There was nothing wrong about it only the spots and the black. (The. labor unions don't like to have boys and girls work any more than ihey like to have criminals work in our penitentiaries. In England a man who has income enough to live with out work is a "gentleman." Gentility does not depend upon deportment in that country. So if a man wo: ks who Is able to live without work the labor ing men brand him as "r.o gentle man." If a wealthy mar. cackles his own horse or 'shaves himself he is branded as "no gentleman." itis far better to cut off such people from work than to cut off boys, girls and prisoners. 3E roe avorite - Colonel Bixby, the noted Nebraska poet, attacked the writer of this col umn quite persuasively last week through the columns of the State Journal. We thought it necessary to return the compliment in a poetic manner, so . "We called a muse, but she refused To twist us any rhyme; We then called old Pegassus bold, But away he ran, it would not scan, And left us short all chime. So we let all fancy go and resorted to hard wood facts. The Colonel calls us "back." We much rathe he had called us forward or up. The ratchet of our heart and brain fastens us to the advancing train. We never have left anything behind worth going back to; there Is always something better ahead. Our religious, moral and po litical opinions have never changed. We have been an enemy of slavery from our earliest boyhood. Free soil, free press and free speech have the same ruling and in late years we have added free government, for others as well as for ourselves. We have seen nothing very decisive in "daily drift" fnvnrahif tn a free government in the Philippines. We have also been an enemy - of drunkenness, the same length of time. That enmity has ruled our own appetite, tongue, pen and bal lot. We never have knowingly voted for a saloon man. We voted against the saloons last April. Did you vote that way, Colonel?., Are you a mem ber of the prohibition party? We nev er heard you speak for the party. We never saw any declarations in writing to that effect. When the two big par ties harmonized for slavery we did not harmonize with either; so when they harmonized for the millionaires we re fused to harmonize. But four presi dents in fifty-five years were elected that we voted for. We have always aimed to stand for justice and right, regardless of policy or party. We much rather be defeated on that line than victorious for greed and wrong. Now, if that Bryan party ' goes in with Cleveland and Dave Hill or with Pierpont Morgan and Hanna we will go the other way. Now, to return good for evil we in vite Colonel Bixby to advance, not go back. Stand up for equal Justice to all and home government for every people. Please rhyme against sub sidies and. tariffs that protect a few and makes the rest foot the bill. Run through your poetical machine the doctrine of submitting laws to a vote of the people as we do constitutions. Chime against letting the money men meddle with our , money. There are more reforms than one and it is the kickers that lead every reform. Party, right or wrong, does not sound well. We should be as free to criticise and upbraid our own party and its leaders as any others. Do come- forward and come up a little: II. W. HARDY.
