Invalidism among federal troops in

This is a gruesome tale for the Im

That a few speculators may obtain
more franchises that a few more
goods may be sold that' soft places
may be furnished for some thousands
of political prostitutes that an inno

dered. It is for this we have abrogated
the Declaration of Independence, pros
tituted the constitution and made the
land of Washington and Lincoln a by

people of the world.
But what is this about the recruit

privation, pestilence and sudden death?
Where are the millions of men wno
voted for imperialism last November-
why don't they join the army la or

are the orators that shouted for pa

don't they volunteer?
Will we have to make a draft to

flocked to the starry flag before the

COUNTING THE COST.
The English war office has issued
an official report of British losses In
South Africa from the beginning of
the war up to February of this year.
Here is the bloody list: Deaths, 15,
929; wounded, 14,914 men and 1,242 of
ficers; Invalided home, 39,065 men and
1.703 officers, making a grand total of
72,883 British soldiers that have been
rendered core du combat. Tho losses
on the other side have been large
enough to Increase the grand total to
100.000 men. Then figure the pecuniary
cost. Up to this time the British war
tax has been $500,000,000; then add
the Boer expenses and the vast amount
of property that has been destroyed,
which includes one-half of all the
homes in the two provinces. Then
add the suffering of the women and
children who have been driven from
the country homes and confined in
crowded and unhealthy barracks, with
scant food, and clothing still more
scant and then you have some faint
idea of what civilization is paying for
the capture of the gold and diamond
mines of South Africa.
Providence cursed South Africa by
hiding In her soil deposits of gold and
diamonds. They have been to her
worse than plague, pestilence and fa
mine. Without them the Boers would
now be a peaceful, prosperous and con
tented people.
It Is supposed that J. Plerpont Mor
gan will make in the neighborhood of
$2,000,000 by engineering the deal for
the big steel combine. The promoters
will undoubtedly do well, but one
thing is certain, either the public or
the stockholders of the new concern
will suffer in the end Omaha Bee.
If it be true that somebody is sure
to be swindled by this gigantic com
bine, organized by the "40 thieves,"
why did not your party enforce the
plank in your platform against trusts
and prevent the combination of these
several bands of robbers?
There are some very Interesting
things about this new union of small
trusts Into one big one. It Is to be
called the "United States Steel Com
pany." It is evident its promoters do
not know how to spell the word
steal. Its name does not mean that it
belongs to the United States, but that
it Is going to rob the United States. Its
capitalization is $1,100,000,000, but it
managed to get itself incorporated
with a capital of $3,000, with the priv
ilege of increasng it This Is al
mighty rough on the state of New
Jersey, for It will be cheated out of
most all of the corporation fees, me
robbers are thus plundering their con
federates.
There is water enough in this deal
to make another flood, and when it es
capes it will drown the world.
The capitalization of the company i
in amount half as large as is the sum
of all tho money now in circulation
In this country. Thus les3 than a
score of speculators represent half as
much money as is necessary to do me
business of the other 75,000,000 people
in this country.

PAST AND FUTURE.
The two reform campaign beaded
by Mr. Bryan were right good things
for the American people even though
ihey ended in overwhelming defeat.
They probably will do more perma
nent good than if they had been vic
tories. If Bryan bad been elected it
might have temporarily stayed the
tide of corruption and cut off a part of
the overwhelming waste and extrara-
gauce, but it could not bare accom
plished any biting good. It would have
only scotched the serpent of bad gov
ernmentIt would not have auiea it.
The two campaigns were advantageous
on account of their educational advan
tage. They made the people think
aa they never thought before millions
of eye were opened that never had
seen tho light many men for the first
time were taught to see tbe evils and
perils of plutocracy. Tbe Kansas City

PROPOSED LAW.
Tbe state of Maryland proposes to
disfranchise all her illiterate voters,
consisting of 30,000 negroes and 18.
000 whites, and it is also in contem
plation that no voter shall receive any
assistance In the election booth unless
be be blind or armless.
Both of these provisions are right
No wan should vote who Is too ignor
ant to read bis ballot. No man
should vote who cannot make out bis
own ticket.
Such a law will not only eliminate
tbe ignorant, but also the venal vot
ers. When tbe illiterate are disfran
chised there will be but few votes for
sale voters will not then be bought
like sheep In tbe shambles. Elec
tions will not be so likely to be car
ried by the corrupt use of money.
Nebraska has less illiteracy than
any other state in the Union, but even
here the Maryland law would be a
boon to the honest voters. Such a
taw would give to the city of Oma
ha au honest administration once
more.
A law like this will bsve another
good effect. It will induce the dts
lranchlced voters to see that thttf
children are educated, so that they
may escape from the ban of tneir
fathers.
During the last compalgn the Bryan
men contended that the protective tar
iff furnished a firm foundation on
which to build a superstructure or
trusts. The Republicans denied this
contention and said that the tariff
did not protect the trusts.
Now Congressman Babcock, chair
man of the Republican congressional
committee and member of the ways
and means committee of congress, has
introduced a bill to repeal the tariff
on almost all lines of steel products
and openly acknowledges that the ob
ject of the repeal is to head on me
formation of tbe gigantic steel trust
now in process of organization.
Isn't this a dead give away? A
leading Republican tries to repeal a
part of the tariff because it protects
trusts. This gives the lie direct to the
Republican organs and orators of the
last campaign. It clearly admits that
the Bryan men were right and that
the McKinley men were wrong on the
tariff question.
All the benefit the people will get
out of this bill is that they will know
beyond doubt that the Republican par
ty is a liar and tbe father or liars.
It was not intended that the bill
should pass it was only a grandstand
play to the galleries it was done In
order that the party might claim that
it had done something to prevent the
formation of trusts the bill was in
trndnrtil an late In the session tbat
ccu'.d sot noiwibly be passed It Is
a fraud as usual a false pretense to
deceive the people a He for political
effect a hypocritical attempt to de
ceive the masses without in any way
injuring the classes another act to
prove that Lincoln was mistaken when
he said that you could not deceive ail
the people all the time.
If Mr. Babcock had been honest ana
sincere be would have Introduced hla
bill early In the session, so that there
would have been time enough to pass
it But he was neither honest nor
sincere. He didn't Intend tbat bis
bill should become a law. Neither he
nor any other machine Republican will
Introduce this bill or any bill like it
at tbe called or regular session of
congress. The Republican party will
do nothing to Injure the trusts so
long as the trusts furnish the funds
to carry on the Republican cam
palgns.
The people do not get a remedial
law to help them, but they have got
a clear declaration from the Republi
can party that the protective tariff is
the nursing mother of trusts.

captains, but he was one of tbe most

the American navy, and he cams u

Benjamin Franklin, the most ele

he attempted to steal the laurels from

A Help for Trait Grower.
Anything that will save the orchards
from ravages of Insects and give to
growers of fruit satisfactory results
for their labor and expense ia deserv
ing of investigation and trial. Realiz
ing the Importance of any method or
device to this end, a representative of
this paper has been looking Into the
claims of the Haseltlne Moth Catcher
that does away with all expensive,
spraying outfits with their poisonous
solutions, which have frequently de
stroyed valuable live stock. Tbe cost
of operating the Moth Catcher is only
one-sixth the cost of spraying. Tbe
well known fascination of a light for
moths of all kinds is utilized by the In
ventor, S. A. Haseltlne, to clear the
orchards and gardens of insect pest
in the most effectual way by catching
the moths before eggs are laid, so
there are no worms hatched to destroy
fruit or vegetables, or to breed more
pests for another year. The Moth.
Catcher Is made by placing two p&r
laiioA rnfiectors at riKht angles, with
a torch in the center. The whole l
then placed over a pan or tub partly
filled with water on which floats a,
little kerosene oil. The torch is lit
at or about sundown and the light,
multiplied many times by the reflect
ors, attracts the moths. They strlko
the reflectors and fall into the coal
oil, which kills mem Instantly.
A recent visit was made to the or
chards of Central Missouri and Invest

dence of the utility of the Moth Catch

2 and 4 were thoroughly and repeat

PENSIONS.

from the United States to the Philip
pines will be on tbe pension rolls.'
This Is true, for every one of them
who Is alive will be a physical wreck
and Justly entitled to a pension. We
have already sent more than 10U.0W
men to the islands. We are now en
gaged in recruiting 60,000 more for
the same service. No ono contends
that our army there can be much re
duced for many years to come, in
stead of decreasing, our pension rolls
are growing longer every year, and
the cbancea are that they will con
tlnue to Increaae Indefinitely, Tbs
pension list resulting from our cruel
and useless war of subjugation will
demand more millions In the next
thirty yeara than all the trade of tbe
Philippines wilt be vortb to ua In half
a dozen centuries,
We do not object to psylng liberal
pensions to deserving soldiers, but ws
do object to a continuance of a war
whose principal result will be a tre
mendous Increaae In tbe pension roll.
