(Special Washington Letter.
GOOD many of the newspapers
are poking fun at Hon. Tom
L. Johnson for endeavoring to
Induce an eminent divine of
. his city to run for congress. Just why
they should undertake to make fun of
that proposition is hard to understand.
First and Inst a good many preachers
have got into congress, and as a rule
they have demonstrated their capacity
as legislators. It is a fact not gen
erally remembered, but nevertheless a
fact, that Edward Everett was a dis
tinguished minister of the gospel be
fore he began his great career as a
statesman. It is but sober truth to say
that in his official career he never did
a thing or ut'ered a word incompatible
with the highest standard of Christian
conduct. General James A. Garfield
"was an amateur preacher; so was Gov
ernor and Senator Colquitt of Georgia.
I myself have served in the house
with half a dozen preachers, among
them Dr. William Everett, son of Ed
ward Everef-; Judge Vardeman Cock-
rell of Texas. Delegate Callahan of Ok
lahoma. Jeremiah ttotkin of Kansas
und others, as the sale bills say, too
tedious to mention. So far as I was
ever able to obsrrve, they attended to
their duties ably and intelligently
without in 'iny way sacrificing their
character as ministers of the gospel.
Consequently I am one of those who
do not join in the funmaklng in the
case of Tom Johnson and his preacher.
I would not advise any preacher to
run for congress, but If one who feels
that he has a cull to go to congress
does so 1 think he Is liable to acquit
himself about as well as the average
member, and there is no reason under
the shining sun why he should not
leave congress as good a Christian as
he enters it. As n matter of fjict. a
few preachers scattered around through
congress wtnild do good. I am rather
inclined to the opinion that it would
help the preachers themselves by giv
ing them a broader and more charita
ble view of human nature.
Republican Harmony. ,
Frequently in these fetters I have re
ferred to the fact that the Republicans
rend and tear each other individually
and collectively. In all their abuse of
each other nothing more caustic has
come under my observation than this
excerpt from the New York Commer
cial Advertiser touching that eminent
Republican statesman, the Hon. Lem
uel Ell Qulgg:
Why Quig-g? What particular reason
Is there for Mr. Tlatt to reach back into
the political obscurity which has envel
oped Quigg like a soft and soothing gar
ment for a ear or more and lift him
forcibly Into the public gaze apain? Mr.
Piatt must be In possession of the rea
son: nobody else has it. In fact, nearly
verybody else In the party seems to have
several plausible reasons why Quigg
should be left undisturbed. Nobody has
asked that he be made temporary chair
man of the state convention, v.-hila a
large number of persons, many of them
of weight and Influence in the party,
have protested against such Irritating
use of him. They say It would 'queer"
the convention. Why it should "Queer"
it Is not clear, but there seems to be a
feeling of uneasiness in many sections of
the party when Quigg's name is men
tioned or his engaging countenance is
disclosed. Quirrg can' scarcely be Ig
norant of this. The gentlemen who suf
fer In this way have spoken of their feel
ings with great frankness. Thpy are
speaking In that way even now. They do
rot see the need of this fresh torture.
Why should Mr. Piatt subject them to it,
and why should Quigg wish to be made
the Instrument of it? It is a great mys
tery: but then from the moment of his
appearance In politics to the present hour
Qulgg has been a mystery.
Russell A. Alger Redivlvus.
The death of Senator McMillan of
Michigan affords the Hon. Russell A.
Alger an opportunity of emerging from
that obscurity which becomes him so
well. He bobs up serenely as a candi
date for the succession. He has the
one qualification, the one thing need
ful, for a successful Republican career
in Michigan a barrel and what
pleases the Republicans most about
Russell Is that when be wants any
thing he taps his barrel liberally; he
not only opens the bung, but he knocks
in the head- Hence there is much ju
bilation In the Michigan Republican
camp. There are great times ahead
for Republican members of the Michi
gan legislature. It will be remembered
question Is to stand still and see the
salvation of the Lord,. for the Repub
lican factions will surely tear each
other to pieces in this bitter war. It
is really a Roosevelt and anti-Uoose-velt
fight under the guise of a tariff
row. The Hartford Courant. a Repub-
lican organ, dJpg mto the controversy

The Delaware Republicans say ditto to
the Iowa Republicans. At their congres
sional convention It Dover Tuesday they
declared themselves supporters of the
reciprocity policy as expounded by Wil

by Theodore Roosevelt to the case of
Cuba. They want to see the combinations

Republican Extravagance.
Representative Sulzer of New York
made a very able speech on the last
day of the recent session of congress,
in which he summed up the Republic
an extravagances of that session and
expatiated at some length on the sins
of the G. O. P. I have only space to
quote a few paragraphs of this very
able speech. Sulzer is a hard worker
and a hard hitter. He began thus:
We have bt-ea In session since the first

Marse Henry.
Maise Henry Watterson in a letter
declining to be a candidate for the
Democratic nomination for governor of
Kentucky wrote a very brilliant letter,
as he always does when he writes at
all. Among the reasons assigned for
his declination is that he is too old to
turn rascal. That Is certainly an amaz
ing declaration to come from one of
Colonel Watterson's position and ex
perience. If it was intended for hu
mor, it should have been labeled, "This
is a joke." If intended seriously, it is
utterly Incredible that Marse Henry
could have worked himself into a frame
of mind to say it. He is the best be
loved of all Kentuckians; he is one of
the most brilliant editors that ever
wielded a pen; he has been associated
with statesmen all his life. With the

Inow, g-entlemon, that statement speaks
for Itself. It cannot be successfully con
troverted. This is a Republican con
gress, overwhelmingly Republican in both
branches, and the Republican party must
assume the responsibility for all its acta
of commission and omission. The Repub
lican party is responsible for all that has
been done and all that has been left un
done, for all the flagrant extravagance
and abuse of power during the first ses
sion of the Fifty-seventh congress. A
billion . dollar session of congress is an
anomaly in our legislative history. I aslc
the taxpayers to ponder on these facts.
I ask the people how long they are will
ing to submit to It and all for a little
cheap glory of conquest, all for a little
glitter and pomp and circumstance, all
for a little tinsel and tassel and gold
lace. How long do you want it to last?
You can answer In the coming elections.
single exception of Governor Taylor, Ask yourself what has this congress done
against whom there is an indictment
pending at Frankfort for conspiracy
to murder. Colonel Watterson never
saw a Kentucky governor whose integ
rity was seriously doubted by any liv
ing human being.
The standard of political integrity in
Kentucky governors has been high;
the vast majority of them are, like
Cresar's wife, above suspicion, and no
body knows this better than Colonel
Watterson himself. He speaks to a
very large audience; no other editor in
America Is so much quoted; he is the
for you; what has it done for the rank
and file?
Is the Right cf Petition Futile?
What has this congress done for labor?
Where are the bills which were petitioned
for by millions of workingmen? Congress
has been deluged with petitions more nu
merous than "the leaves In Vallombrosa,"
and all to no purpose. The Republican
party has turned a deaf ear to these pe
titions. It has legislated either adversely
on them or Ignored them altogether.
No man will again be deceived by the
Republicans passing a measure in the
house and holding it up in the senate, as
was done with the antitrust bill in the
last congress, but this plan worked so
well then that it has been tried again
that General Alger was a candidate I wbo is theater than his paper. His
only American editor of a great paper with the same idea of deceiving the work
for president in 1SSS. and the way ho
Btirred up things was absolutely amaz- j
lng. He didn't get the nomination, it j
is true, but he gave the other candl
dates a severe nervous shock. John!
Sherman flatly charges in his book of I
reminiscences that Alger bought his j
.southern delegates away from him. ;
If Sherman In bis hour of need had j
been as liberal In bis use of boodle as ;
be said Alger was, the Ohioan would
probably have been president instead I
of General Harrison. Poor Alger! He j
. was made the scapegoat of all the sin- j
ners in the Spanish war and was i
squeezed out of the cabinet. He tried
to get even by writing a book, but in
that respect he is equally unfortunate,
for nobody raids 'bis book. But Alger
is not certain of his election to the
senate, even with his barrel, for there
ore barrels and barrels. Senator Me
Millau's son is said to have quite a
large sized barrel, and the Republican
politicians of Michigan who have pulls
are fastening their tentacles on young
McMillan, trying to get, h!m into the
race. The probability Is that if both

Expressing regret that the poor man

"Yes, I believe the Bankers' Re
serve Life Association will have $10,
000,000 at risk upon selected lives in
the west, by the close of 1903," said
B. Jtu Robison, president of that vigor
ous and successful life insurance com
pany. "You see the people of the west
learned a lesson during the panic
which they are not likely to forget.
Practically all our savings drifted to
the money centers of the east during
the prosperous years preceeding 1893.
"We were not only large borrowers,
paying immense interest charges, but
practically all our insurance invest
ments were with eastern companies.
"They collected $15,000,000 in prem
iums during ten years. This large
sum was made up of the savings of
our policy holders. The bulk of it
was loaned back to us at high rates
of Interest. In other words we were
paying interest on our own money.
"This constituted a double draft
upon our resources. We first sent our
savings east. We then paid interest
on the same money and sent that east.
When the panic came we were called
upon not only to repay the mortgages
but the interest charges as Well. We all
know what happened.
"The organization of great fiduc
iary institutions in our midst became
a commercial necessity. We must
have within our own control the sur
plus which balances trade and pre
vents financial stringency.
"In these years of great plenty we
can hoard our own savings and when
times of distress come the simple pro
cess of transferring our money from
one pocket to the other will make a
panic less destructive.
"I he Bir.kers' Reserve Life Asso

no benefits can be enjoyed from it.
"On this theory of home patronage

"It is a straight business proposi
tion, and the people, are becoming en

the Bankers' -Reserve Life writes more
business in Nebraska, its home state
where it is best known, than any com
peutor. "Nebrasltans especially should place
their. life insurance in the
BANKERS' RESERVE LIFE."
Hardy's Column
It is still further settled that Ne
braska can stand more drouth and
more rain than any state east. Laat
year was one of the dryest in Nebraska
ever heard of and yet the wheat crop
was splendid and the corn was about
equal to the New England average
yield. This year has been one of the
wettest years ever heard of all over.
In the east the crops are knocked out.
worse than they were in Nebraska,
lust year, while in Nebraska never
had bigger crops of all kinds. Wheat
was damaged in harvest to some extent.
It would not do to make war with
England, but we need foreign colonies
of foreign race3 enough to require a
half million standing army. Some
thing must be done to make a few bil
lionaires for we need them and we
need employment for men who do not
liae to work.
A Growing Question
J. S. Freeman of Columbus, Neb.,
wishes us to explain the cause of hard
tin;es in the seventies. We asked the
republicans tc explain It expecting they
would lay it .o the Wilson tariff bill,
which was passed near twenty years
after. The chief cause of the hard
times then and also in the nineties
was the reduction of the volume of
legal tender money. The same trou
ble will come again should the pres
ent congress retire the balance of the
greenbacks. It will be still worse
should they stop coining silver and
make the present silver redeemable in
gold. One of the best things to bring
good times is the increase of legal
tender money faster than the popula
tion and business increases. The un
usual amount of gold found in Califor
nia and Australia made good times in
the early fifties. So the increase of
ho coinage of silver and gold under
A!rKin?ey brought the present good
times'. No president ever coined as
mach silver before. There are other
things that help to make good times.
Oood crops at home and poor crops
abroad help. If as much silver had
been coined under Harrison and Cleve-lan-
we would have had no such hard
times in the nineties.
There is one thing that state govern
ments are neglecting and that is the
protection of free laborers who want
to work in the coal mines or anywhere
else. If the state of Pennsylvania
cannot do it the government should
call home the standing army in the
Philippines and place the men on
guard at the different mines, with guns
loaded with bullets, and protect the
men who want to work. This is yet a
pretentious free country and one man
has no right to prevent another man
from working at honest labor.
The sham war and sham battles off
the coast of New England a few weeks
ago cost nearly a million of dollars,
all to prepare for coming wars. Times
of peace are times to prepare for war.
Of course when we are ready for a
war we must pitch Into Mexico or some
of the South American 5 governments.
A suit is being brought before the
United States court, testing the con
stitutionality of the laws in some of
the southern states, prohibiting men
from voting whose grandfather did
not vote. Yve hope the court will give
the case a full hearing and render a
just decision.
In talKing with high protective tar
iff repuDiicans a large majority of
tnem think we do not have to nay any
tariff unless we buy foreign made
goods. They do not seem to know
that American manufacturers add the
tariff to the price of their American
made goods.
We surely doubt that the nrice of
corn will ever go below 25 cents a
bushel In the state nf Kphraska
again for a hundred years. The in
creased demand for corn is not and can
not be matched by an equal increase
or production. Fifty years aeo 25
cents for oats, 50 cents for corn and
?1 for wheat was considered fair
prices.
This is the first year in thirty that
we have had three quite severe frosts
m the first half of September. It has
generally been as late as October be
fore any frost appeared. It is a little
queer how frost conquers the wind.
How still and calm it was during those
frosty nights. As soon as the frost
retired the wind took possession of
the battle field. Frost and wind seem
to marry later on.
Wheat should all be sown this
month. The last week in August was
our time for sowing winter wheat
back in York state. A fe:v acres of
early sown winter rye make splendid
late fall and early spring cow feed.
One of the widest planks on which
labor unions stand is the reduction of
the number of workers and the
amount of work each one does. Chil
dren must not work, women must not,
criminal prisoners must not and hon
est men must not work more than
eight hours a day and two hundred
uays in a year. H. W. HARDY.

Gentlemen, if elected to Congress, will you vote for
or against the Fowler Bill?
The Fowler currency bill embodies all the iniquitous features of the old wild
cat banking plan. It provides for bank notes issued on bank assets, for branch
banks, for retirement of the greenbacks, and for making silver dollars redeemable
in gold on demand of the holder. It is the foundation stone of a banker' trust.
The Fowler bill has been recommended for passage by the republican majority of
the house committee on banking and currency.
