FROM If raw While the Pecpli Suffer the Pelitiohui 8chtms CONCEMIBQ TEE BABBUPTCT BILL Tbe Hawaiian Muddle Blounta Bulky Report Sent to Congress Nebraska Congressmen Complimented. Congressional Doings Diecnesed. Wabhimiton, D. C, Dec. 14, '93. A few weeks ago old party editors and politicians cried aloud with one voice: "Repeal the Sherman law, and confi dence will be restored, business will re vive, industries will resume operation, anl prosperity will prevail." The Sber- man law was repealed, and now the events of the present are answering those false claims. Hare is a portion of the answer: Tue army of unemp!oyed In New York City numbers 140,000 at a low estimate, and the number is increasing daily. Cticago has 117.000 idle poor, 10,000 of whom are in absolute want. Thous ands are living on charity. Hundreds sleep at night on tbe hard stone floors of the eitv hill. Tbe situation crows v worse all the time. 90,000 laborers out of work la Pbila delphla. Tbe situation in other great cities is equally bad, but the number of unem ployed have not yet been ascertained. The above are the figures as given in tbe New York Press But the mere figures convey no adequate idea of the terrible conditions which prevail in these cities. Indeed it is lmpoesiblo to paint tbeherrorof the situation. Hun ger, cold, anxiety, and despair will in the months of this winter produce a grand aggregate of suffering which 'is beyond the power of the human mind to conceive. This condition would be less awful if the temporary suffering of the poor were Its cbifef result But the patriotic student of politics must see something beyond this. The suffering millions are American citizens. They are voters. They elect the men who make and exe cute our laws. Tbe suffering of this winter is destroying their independ ence, crushing their manhood, maklrg them knaves or cowards. During tbe coming ytars, the threat of another panic, will be potent in swaying their votes. Yet while this awful condition pre vails throughout the country the great political leaders of the nation are busy trying to divert the attention of the American people to a little group of Islands in the Pacific Ocean inhabited by a few thousands of half civilized Ma lays and a few speculating adventurers from America and Europe. They are trying to array the masses of this country into hostile political armies over tbe question of annexing these is lands to the United States. The deci sion of the quest'on either way will not give an hour's labor to tho unemployed of America. It will not lessen by a dol lar the mortgage on any American farm It will neither add to nor detract from the mental, mora', social, or financial well-being of the American people. Yet already thousand cf American veters are discuEs'ng the question with loud voices and flushed faces just as if the life of the nation depended on it. THB TORRKT BANKRUPTCY BILL - was defeated in the house. I have not examined the subject thoroughly, but I feci safe In saying that it deserved de feat. The final vote showed who were behind the bill. The men who voted for the Torrey Bill were mainly the same who voted for the repeal bill. The opposition to it was led by Bland. In summing up b's views of the measure, he said the bill, If it became a law, would empower the creditors of the country to force choir debters either to borrow the money now lying Idle In the banks or go Into bankruptcy, bailey of Texas has a bankruptcy bill wklch ha beta favorably reported. It does oot give creditors the right to fore debtors Into bankruptcy, but provides relief for such as desire to go into voluntary bankruptcy. The bill will be pposed by many of those who voted fur th other. HAWAIIAN roMTUS Commissioner Mount's report ef all be heard and saw Is IUwxll has been published It ecooptes 64 page. I have aot studied It tuftVestly to he able lo pa JudguMst oa lu ftrnu, but I have read ll enough t Sad thai Hawaiian, polities bear a striking re. erublaiw to American politic There Is oee page that I think U worthy tf puHtfcsUiia la the Moral prves.

'When w go before the bouse we n'v-r tret constitution. They nt-verdld anything.' If the Hawaiian mugwump had snap ped a Krdak on American politics, either state or national, he could hardly have got a truer picture than that he has given. For my part I can't see why Grover Cleveland o' j c's to annexation it certainly cc u'd cot lower the general tone of Amercan politics. Tbe Hawaii an politicians eould eas ly be developed to flrot-cUrn administration Demo crats Witb a little coaching tbat man Wilcox might become worthy to sit in tbe senate teoide Dan Voorbees and Roger Q Mills Tlien Ihtse fellows who tald "it was against the constitu tor. ;" what grand good Dmacrats they would make! I think it is hardly uec tseary for roetopolntouttoNebraskans tbe similarity of Hawaiian politics to the politics of their own s a'e. In another part of the alalogue be tween Blount and this native, the for mer a6ks the latter why it is that na tives have signed petitions for annexa tion if tbey are opposed to it. The re ply is as follows: "I will give you the reason: Because their horses run in pasture of very peo ple in favor of annexation. Some of them work under them on plantations So they have control of them. Home natives sign because they are afraid of being turned out of work. Tbey say they will have no bread and butter." If tnese are genuine pictures of Ha wailan politics, no argument is necessary to prove that Americans are In con trol of things there. Evidently they are Republicans, and perhaps that is the reason why Grover fights shy of annexation. DESERVED COMPLIMENTS The Star, Washington's great evening daily, lit pub lean in politics, not long ago publ shed the following sketches of Nebraska's two Populist congress men: The leading Populist from Nebraska if William Jenn'ngs iiryan remains in the Dtmocratic party, U William Arthur McKeighan of li:d Cloud. 11 s speeches show great research and care ful arrangement, mere is nuinlng brilliant about him He never aspires to eloquence, but sta'es bis fa ts In clear and precise language, molding them so perfectly I bat the rarewdest lawyer w uld hardly be able to find a joint In his armor. Near McKeighan sits Homer Mtdlson Kem of Broken B w, Neb. Ho is a sharp eyi d gentleman, with auburn hair and beard. He was born in Iniiana in 18"5, wa brought up on a farm, and received a fair educUion. In 1883 he entered land undor the homtead lw in Nebraska, and like McKeighan is sa'd to have resided in a dug out whn sent to concrens. Kem Is a representa tive Populist Although notderaonntra tive in the house he Is ever on the al rt acing promptly whenever heconslders the interests of his party require It. The Populists have no more faithful servant He Is serving Is second term. He ran as a Populist-lnd"pcndent, leat log the Republican candidate over 3,000 and the Democratic candidate over 11, 000 votes. S. Edwin Thornton.

Clt Ut vA l U swreei Call for a Stare Conference. It has become evident to all Intelli gent, unselfish and patriotic citizens that a great change must soon take place In the industrial relations; that Industrial freodom must yet be won; that there are ways and means even in a republlo for the few to oppress the many; that these ways are covert and corrupt and can only be met and sup pressed by Intelligent appeals to the judgment and patriotism of the sover- ign electors. To more effectually push forward this educational work and htst'n the day of redemption In thlsj state and nation which can be so much more wisely and effectually done at a tirao when there is no strife golngon for place aad power and when the people can and will give to the subject that calm unprejudiced ldgment which the importance of the occasion demaads, we, the eAecutive committee of the People's Independent party of the State of Nebraska, do here by call a conference to meet at 8 o' clock p. m. ff'edn sday, the third day of January, 1894, at Hastings, Ntb. Wo would therefore most earnestly urge thtt all members of the state and county central committees of the Peo ple s Independent party; all presidents of Farmers' Sub Alliances and Indus trial Unions all presidents of Trades Unions; all captains ef Industrial eglons; all master workmen of K. of L Assemblies; all Peoole's party repreien- tatives in congress and members of the state legislature; all editors of People's party papers, and such other persons as shall be recommended by the ohalrmen of the several oounty oentral committees of the Peoples party, attend this con ference.
