Special Washington Letter.)
US way that President Roose
vdt'sat down on the wrangling,
Jangling, corrupt factions of the
southern Republicans Is decid
edly refreshing to honest men
of every political persuasion ' every
where. The Republican party in the
south is maintained jsolely for the pur
pose of gobbling the federal offices,
and, the factions are merely organized
gangs In search of pie. If the presi
dent doesn't look out, however, he will
not have a single southern delegate in
the next national Republican conven
tion. They want pap, Mr. President,
and not lectures. No ' set of wolves
were ever hungrier than they are, and
they would pull down and trample on
all the presidents that ever lived if
they stood betwixt them and the swill
trough. So you had better go a little
slow In tongue lashing these famish-
Ing : southern patriots or your name
will be Denis so far as the prseidency
I Is concerned.
A Fine Delegation.
V. Alabama will enjoy the distinction
) f having In the Fifty-eighth congress
a delegation every man of which has
seen congressional service, some of
tbem many years of service, t They are
all able men, some very able- all Dem-
ocrats who stand up to the rack, fod
der or no fodder, men who are honest.
Industrious, capable and Incorruptible.
; If all the rest of the Democrats in the
.' house were "such men asvthe Alabama
delegation, the Democratic minority
would be on top half the time and
; make the Republican majority uncom
: fortable the other half. From Colonel
John II. Iiaukhead, dean of the delega
' tlon, to the newest member they are
: clean men, sober men, courageous
men, men who honor their state and
- the country. They have, old fashioned
: Ideas about avoiding even the appear
S ance of evil. They love truth, and
they stand unwaveringly by the peo
. pie who send them to Washington.
I They all ought to be elected by over
1 iwhelming majorities.

Queer Pacification.
How long, O Lord, how long? How
often have i we been , told that "the
Philippines jare pacified?" General
Otis , announced several times two or
three years ago that the war was over.
His successors in office have an
nounced it many, many times. On the
Fourth of July, . 1901, civil govern
ments were established in the archi
pelago, but . they, were barely estab
lished before tbey fell about , the ears
of the establishes with a crash that
I resounded throughout the world. Then
1 military rule government by satraps
I iwas re-established, and it will have to
I be maintained so long as we hold on to
1 those accursed Islands., Governor Taft
I iwas received with bosannas, was he?
t Every hosanna was bought in some way
at some price. It is absolutely safe to
Bay that Governor Taft, a most capable
I and excellent man, could not stay in
I Manila twenty-four hours were it not;
1 for our soldiers. The war is over, is it?
Even the Globe-Democrat, the most in
I veterate organ grinder in the land, is
rorcea to say, vine reports or recent,
fighting in the Philippines will show
that pacification has no yet been
reached." What, in view of that dec
laration, does the G.-D. say as to the
rosy reports of General Otis and others
that "the war is over and peace reigns
In the Philippines?" Would to heaven
I It were over and that the lives of thou
sands of our brave boys over there
could be saved! The plain, bold, un
varnished, unpalatable truth is that
when we were idiots enough to pay
$20,000,000 for the Philippines we
bought a war which will most likely
last us till the judgment da,y. . More's
the pity!
The Washington , Post, Independent. -which
is a good deal of a jingo itself,
In this connection says editorially:
If anything in th way of news from
the Philippines could be expected to cre
ate great excitement In this country, that
result seems likely to be produced in the
very near future. War on the Moros is
sure to be a bloody, war. They fight to
the death, believing that heaven's door is
wide open for all of the faithful who are
slain in battle and that peculiar favors
and special honors are reserved for such
In the abode of the blessed. Situated as
this republic Is. and It is a situation the
responsibility for which is on both par
ties, we are bound to fight the Moros.
Here is the way in which the St. Louis
Globe-Democrat puts the case:
"The latest killing of American sentries
by the Moros was deliberately intended
to provoke a war. General Chaffee will
see that the hostilities rendered necessary
are of the kind that hurts the savages."
The Springfield Republican, looking at
the case from the anti-imperial stand-
point, puts it thus:
I "The expected campaign against the
Moros which General Chaffee foreshad
I own will certainly be in line with our
i' history in the archipelago. No single foot
I; of it has come under the actual sway of
I the United States except by military
I force. The subjugation of the Moros is
r simply the last . stage In a war of con
I Quest," , ,
S We sincerely hope this, will prove to be
"the last stage." and we. have no doubt
i It will be the hardest the most costly in
life and in cash. j .-.
As to Secretary Shaw.
For some reason to this writer' un
5 known the administration appears to
I have put Mr. Secretary of the Treasury
I Leslie M. Shaw . forward as its moutb
y piece. The governor is orating general
(3 ly around over the country. The Wash
ington Post, which is a high tariff
shouter, but which knOws enough to
go in out of the rain, takes a fall out
j of tfce secretary as follows:
, Secretary 'Shaw Admits that the tariff
I
is the parent of undesirable conditions.
Then why not arrange to have the parent
apply the rod occasionally to the incor
rigible child?
Now, If the gifted and ubiquitous
secretary will answer that query and
the Post will comment honestly and
freely on the answer we will have
what Dr. Horace Greeley, another
great apostle of protection, would call
"mighty ricli reading." Let the secre
tary answer and let the Post comment.
On with the dance! JThe more the mer
rier! Hope Deferred.
- Surely the Isthmian canal building Is
another illustration of "hope deferred
maketh the htart sick." Those simple
Simons who are eipectlng to sail
through the canal or, rather, a canal
across the isthmus In a year or, two
might as well be disillusionized of that
hallucination. It took ten years to dig
the Suez caual, which was only twenty-six
miles long, a sea level route, in
which nothing but sand -was encoun
tered. Even if we were to begin dig
ging tomorrow It will be twenty jrears,
in all human probability, before a ship
goes through the canal or, rather, a
canal. I say a canal, for nobody
knows which route will be chosen,
Nicaragua or Panama. Indeed the
signs Indicate" that a third route the
Darien route Is to be surveyed, there
by wasting more time and making con
fusion worse confounded. True, appa
ratus for digging and dredging has
been improved, as have all things else,
since the digging of the Suez canal;
but, all things considered. It may be
not unreasonable to conclude that boy
babies now In their swaddling clothes
will be voters before the canal is
opened. There is no sort of question
but that the transcontinental railroads
are all opposed to the building of any
canal whatsoever; hence all the jug
gling; hence all this superfluous sur
veying; hence Senator Marcus A. Han
na's thrilling oration on the subject of
volcanoes; hence the defeat of the Mor
gan Nicaraguan scheme; hence Lemuel
Ell Quigg's doctoring of the Phila
delphia . platform, i j substituting the
word "isthmian'.',, for the word "Nica
raguan." A Great Wool Pulling.
I was recently over in, Illinois on a
lecture tour and took note of political
conditions In Suckerdom. The Repub
licans are having a great wool pulilftx
and no mistake - Hon. William " E.
Mason has his war paint on and is go
ing hot foot after ,the .Yates-Hopkins
gang. What the Republican factions
of Illinois are saying about eacL other
could not be printed in any newspaper
In America without subjecting it to tfce
penalty of being included from the
mails by reason of profanity and ob
scenity. It will be remembered that
the Yates-Hopkins combine rolled Bil-
lie Mason at the state convention and i
incidentally rolled Uncle Shelby M.
Cullom, whose chief stock in trade is
that he possesses a physical resem
blance more or less remote to Abraham
Lincoln. They thought that after roll
ing Billie and Uncle Shelby they would
have clear sailing. Not so, however.
The rolling process appears to have in
furiated Mason to the point of mad
ness. He is now out for revenge, and
he seems to be in a fair way of getting
it. And sweet is revenge. So said Lord
Byron, and he ought to have known,
for he was in the habit of lathering up
his enemies with aqua fortis. Mason
has sprung a thing on his enemies
which is goading them into insanity.
Governor Yates' 'machine levied a 5
per cent assessment on all his ap
pointees for political purposes, and
now Mason has Induced many of them
to institute suit to get their money
back, and the very deuce is to pay. It
looks very much as though Mason's
successor in the senate would be a
Democrat instead of Hon, A. J. Hop
kins. Republican.
Bob Williams' Just Quarrel. V
The best laid plans o mice and men
Aft gang agley.
So sang Bobble Burns. His couplet
Is likely to find a new verification in
the election of congressmen in Illinois
this fall. The Republican legislature
last winter gerrymandered the state in
most outrageous fashion. A more un
fair caper was never cut, but its
fine scheme to disfranchise thousands
of Democrats bids fair to be defeated.
For example, the Carmi district, which
J. R. Williams, popularly known as
Bob Williams, represents with so
much ability, they gerrymandered so
as to give the Republicans about 2,200
majority, according to the returns of
1U00. but the Democrats propose to
overthrow their plans and to re-elect
Bob with a whoop. He was renomi
nated unanimously and with great en
thusiasm, and enthusiasm is more con
tagious than the smallpox, the measles
or the bubonic plague. Consequently
there are grent fear and trembling in the
Republican camp, for Bob: Williams is
one of the best campaigners in the
land and one of the ablest men In the
congress of the United States. He is a
man with the courage of his convic
tions. Tlrrice is he armed who hath his quarrel
just
And Bob Williams', quarrel Is Just
both on political and personal grounds.
He is right politically, and a Repub
lican legislature tried to steal his seat
In congress by a shameful gerryman
der. ? It Is believed on all hands that
be will win out. If he does, he Is jreai
fleatlal timber. -Mysterious.
, ; r t
Hon. Joseph L. Brlstow, fourth ao-
alstant postmaster general of the Unit
ed States. Is likely to be known In his
tory as '"the man with the magic
scalp." He is a mystery that is the
way he keeps his scalp on Is a mystery
not as insoluble and aggravating as
those other great historic mysteries,
"Who struck Billy Patterson?" and
"Who was the man in the iron mask?"
but a mystery nevertheless. When
J. Ralph Burton, the rampantest Jay
hawker of them all, was elected to the
senate, be made a hurry trip to Wash
ington to snatch that scalp from poor
Bristow's head and announced that be
had succeeded. That was more than a
year ago, and yet Bristow's caput etill
retains its hirsute covering. Since then
Burton's newspaper bureau has given
it out fiat that Ralph had Burton's
scalp at his belt, but he hasn't, and
Bristow Is up in the woods of Maine
with his capillary adornment intact.
Burton has been completely blocked
by Bristow, but new enemies fcave
arisen for Bristow Senators Elkins
and Scott of West Virginia, two of the
most insatiable pie hunters in the land.
Tbey want the entire bakery , Bristow
was willing to give them long and
numerous slices, but he wanted to re
tain a few-crumbs for hungry and
palpitating patriots elsewhere. Conse
quently the West Virginia senators
rowed to do that which J. Ralph had
so often vowed to do and failed to' do
that is, to remove Bristow's scalp. I
place my sesterces on Bristow. Of
course he's a Republican and ought to
be bounced . for that reason, ! but he's
better than Burton, Elkins and Scott,
who hanker after his flossy topknot.
"A Palpable Misnomer."
' Under the above caption the Wash
ington Post, independent, goes after
that blatant Republican organ grinder,
the Globe-Democrat, in the following
rigorous fashion:
"The party that attacks trusts" Is a
distinctive title claimed by the St. Louis
Globe-Democrat for that great aggrega
tion of voting citizens who constitute the
dominant party. When a combination ia
followed by an advance In prices and
great profits, are exacted from the con
sumer to pay fabulous dividends on a
capitalization that is largely fictitious,
there ia a call for an attack, and when
the monopolistic exactions of such a com
bine are made-possible by a tariff sched
ule that is not needed for any legitimate
purpose, the point of intelligent attack is
obvious, and that is precisely the point
which the Republican party has per
sistently refused to see. "Let well enough
alone" has been the response of the Re
publican leaders to every suggestion of
antitrust tariff legislation.
As to other methods of repressing the
greed of trusts the Republican party has
been equally neglectful. Three bills on
this subject, all prepared by Republicans,
are lying cold in the pigeonholes of com
mittees to which they were referred. If
the Republican leaders in the Fifty-sixth
and Fifth-seventh congresses had directed
air their energies to the task of avoiding
any interference with the trusts, their
I record of "success in that endeavor, could
not Jiave been more complete than it is.
"The party that attacks trusts!" Does
the Qlobe-Democrat use that phrase as a
challenge to ridicule? It ould answer
that purpose admirably if the subject
were less serious.
That is a strong criticism of the
G.-D.'s idiocy or mendacity. Whatrvill
be the effect on the G.-D.? Nil pre
cisely that and nothing more.
Convince a man against , his will.
He's of the same opinion still.
Of course the G.-D. knows better. It
is simply trying to hoodwink its read
ers. Any port is good in a storm. In
the foregoing article the Post indicates
how to bust the trusts by cutting
down the tariff on articles on which
trusts run up prices.
One on Governor Dockery.
This story is being told on Governor
Dockery of Missouri: A few days ago
he started to walk from the executive
mansion to a hotel in Jefferson City.
On the way he passed two lemonade
stands which had been started up by
youthful residents of the capital. He
paused to observe them more particu
larly, and the boys began vehemently
to solicit his trade. One informed him
that his lemonade was 5 cents a glass,
the other that his was only 3 cents.
The governor, thinking to give them
an object lesson in both business and
politics, bought a glass of the three
cent decoction. After winking and
wiping his whiskers he made a few
remarks about the advantages of com
petition and then asked, "Now, John
ny, why ia it that you charge 5 cents
for' your lemonade while Tommy
charges only 3?" Tommy did not wait
for Johnny to reply, but answered in a
piping voice, "Well, you see, Mr. Dock
ery, the pup fell in mine."
Evidence of Republican Harmony.
The Chicago Tribune, Republican,
rises to remark:
The tariff revision which western Re
publicans have in mind is not revision
which will reduce the income of the gov
ernment, but which may increase it. The
lowering to a point where only legitimate
protection is afforded of a duty which is
so high as to be prohibitory will increase
th revenues instead of decreasing them.
The incomes which it is desired to reduce
through tariff revisions are the incomes
of great industrial combinations which
are using duties that are too high to ex-
! act from home consumers exorbitant
! crlcea for their products. By the scaling
down of Illegitimate profits aimed at by
Republicans wnose nearts are set on iax
iflt revision the entire community will be
benefited.
And the Providence Journal, inde
pendent Republican, chips in with:
' There appears to be . trouble In the
American Protective Tariff league, ex
Secretary Cornelius N. Bliss and five oth
er members having resigned evidently be
cause the league's influence was thrown
against the Kasson reciprocity treaties
and Cuban reciprocity. The president of
t the league admitB it and adds that "reci
! procity is simply opening the way to free
.trade." The league, then, like the Home
Market club, appears to be against "the
Buffalo platform" and the tariff views of
Presidents McKlnley and Roosevelt. Ver
tly there Is trouble ahead.

The discussions now going on be
tween Messrs. De Hart and Van Vor
his suggest one point relative to credit
substitutes for coin or government cur
rency which we should not overlook,
and that-is in the difference in per
manency between coin and the substi
tutes..: a silver dollar, if handled with
reasonable care, will last many years
and be used in thousands of ex
changes: but a check or draft rarely
passes through more than two or three
hands in actual exchange, and general
ly effects but one. exchange, and then
ceases to have any further power.
Hence, it would be manifest error to
consider credits, dollar for dollar, with
money in considering their combined
effect upon prices. These credit sub
stitutes are momentary and to a great
extent local; but coin and government
notes are permanent and general. It
is perhaps not far out of, the way to
say that a dollar of coin does ten times
as much work as one of credit. ;

That the reports of the Associated
press are most unreliable and dis
torted, always in the interest of plu
tocracy and the viler elements of the
nation has often been asserted by The
Independent. Its managers will order
from five to ten columns concerning a
prize fight and give a great conven
tion of scientists ot religious workers
five lines. That Is not the worst of it
either. The five lines will not be the
truth, but distortions and misrepre
sentations. Lately some of the more
decent of the religious workers are be
ginning to make the same' remark-
about the organization that The Inde
pendent ha3 been making for several
years. As the pe6ple as a whole have
to rely upon the Associated press for
news of current events, it. has had an
opportunity to do more harm than
any other thing under the sun and it
has not neglected its opportunity.
"Fonntic" Spelling
Editor Crarob of the. Fairbury Jour
nal shakes hands with himself - for
adopting a system of phonetic spell
ing and cites the Youth's Companion
as a recent convert to the idea. But
the editor of the Journal persists in
adding a useless "b" to his surname,
probably to distinguish himself from
the publisher of maps and other such
paraphernalia. n
The trouble with a complete system
of phonetic spelling Is that there is a
lack of uniformity in pronouncing
many words in common use and a full
system would create nearly as great
diversity as w$ now have. The man
who calls it a "noos"paper 'would in
sist on spelling it that way, while
some other might think the only cor
rect way would be "nyus"paper. One
would spell it "Kiro" and another
"Karo." The Independent has no de
sire to stand in the way of progress
in this direction, but makes a guess
that many generations will be bom
and die before the foreigner will cease
to have trouble with the words, tough,
trough, lough, hiccough, slough, etc.
even if "thoro' "thru," and "thot''
have become permanent fixtures in
the school books.

:Best HeWer Saw
Editor Independent: s - I read your
paper dated August 14 all through and
I think it is - the best paper for the
common people to read that I ever saw.
I also like Wilshlre'a Magazine. I
have been a democrat all my life, but
since reading your paper and also Wil
shire's Magazine I find that I am real
ly a populist and a socialist. Before
I fell in with these two very valuable
exponents of the people's cause I had
very erroneous conceptions of social
ism and populism. -
I was always taught that socialism
meant anarchism and" confiscation. Di
vision or even divide, Including if nec
essary murder, etc. But I am becom
ing more enlightened as I read your
wonderful paper and V feel like trying
to spread the gospel off emancipation
from misrule and oppression. If the
people could only be induced to read
your paper and become enlightened.
I think this last issue all through the
best number I have had a chance , to
read. I even read, your article on the
Liberty Building and have concluded
to ask you to send me a block of five
and I will sell them if rl can or return
them If I . cannot sell them. If I
should sell four I expect to use one

A Mad, Mad World j
Long ago Victor Hugo, with the
prophetic vision upon him, wrote:,
"The rich are on trial in this century ,;
as the nobles were in the last." They
have been weighed in the balances and
found wanting. Bad as the - nobles;
were, they had certain ideas of their1
own duties and responsibilities. They
had an expression which, now and
then, was not meaningless -noblesse
oblige. We have nothing analogous
to it, but one millionaire has summed
up the case for his class in the terse
and . vigorous, if inelegant, phrase;
"The people be damned." j
It is estimated that it takes the
savings, if not the earnings, of seven
men to support one woman of the'
town, and her class is railed against;
legislated ; against and held up tq
obloquy as a menace to - the public;
It is also estimated that at least 1,000
workmen must be kept ont starvation'
wages to produce one millionaire, and
the millionaire is courted and feted,
honored and made much of, without
regard to anything except his money.
It is indeed a mad, mad world, jny.

Let us tell you something of the wonderful opportunities no w offered in the Cache
La Poudre Valley in the famous Greeley district at Fort Collins, Colorado, These lands are
65 miles north of Denver and have been cultivated under the Keservoir System of irrigation
For several years the products consisting of sugar beets, potatoes, alfalfa, -wheat, oats, barley
and fruits of every kind are positive proof that the system is just what we claim for it, and
far superior to the usual custom of depending on the river that may go dry at the very time
the water is most needed to insure your crops. Under our system we fill our reservoirs dur
ing the freshet season which never fails during May and June. When filled the question is
settled for the season and the river may go dry and cause no' anxiety or loss to the farmer.
We have fourteen of these large reservoirs that have cost the company over a million dollars
and have a storage capacity of over three billion cubic feet. All together covering an area
of over 4,000 acres. Our lands are only five miles from the foot hills and there is plenty of
free mountain range for either cattle or sheep, that must remain free for all time to come.
The climate is as near perfect as you will find in.any country and the society and educa
tional advantages are equal to the best' in any of the eastern states. Sugar beejs and pota
toes have so far been the best paying crop and it is no unusual occurrence to yield $100.00
net profits per acre. "Seeing is believing" and the distance is so short that you can take
your supper in Lincoln and your dinner in Fort Collins with several leisure hours to spend
in Denver on the way. We can make you a one fare rate for the round trip and will send
out excursion parties from Lincoln on' each Monday until further notice. These lands will
more than double in value within the next 5 years and now is the Golden Opportunity to
invest. - ;;; - ' ' ''' . ;. -
Our prices, range from $35.00 to $f5.00 per acre, terms easy according to location and
improvements including perpetual water rights ample to insure crops. All that is necessary
is to order your water from your reservoir Supt." as you want it. You have your own meas
uring weir and know just what you use leaving no chance for dispute. For further particu
lars address . " -'V-''." ;': 7
