THE NEBRASKA INDEPENDENT, HARDY'SCOLUMN There is no reason for being sur prised at the election' of Mickey. The Metnodists are the most numerous of any ehurch in the state. That church organization extends to the very fron tier. It is easy to communicate with every member through the bishop, presiding elder and preacher. What Mr. Mickey did for the Methodist uni versity ought to bury the party politics of every Methodist and it did to as great an extend as the saloon question buried the other side. Then he has. loaned forty ions to them without interest. It has been decided that the Chinese war indemnity can be paid in their silver, money. It seems it would be better to take it in tea and then sell the tea for American money. If Mc Kinley was president the silver would undoubtedly be recoined into our mon ey and that would be equivalent to re ceiving gold. The republican trusts and corpora tions are helping to reorganize the democratic party on the Hill and Cleveland line, so it will make no dif? ference with them which carries the day in 1904; then, they will be sure to get what they want, anyway. . .. We would like to see the state start a sugar and starch factory on the state farm. Thousands of tons of beets and corn are grown in sight of Lincoln. Either one would be much better than a brewery or distillery. - It appears the retail meat dealers in the east have not heard of the decline in tho price of beef cattle in the west. It is just so with flour. If wheat goes up flour goes up the next morning and when wheat goes down the flour deal ers never hear of it. The millers are in a trust as much as the meat packers It is reported that the government of Australia has contracted an enorm ous debt and now with a severe drouth they are unable to pay. Millions of sheep, kangaroos and rabbits have died for the lack of water and grass. -: "Germany is opening a new and e: tensive wheat field in Asia Minor by ' building the Bagdad railroad.

Secretary Shaw has been buying bonds and paying a dollar and thirty- seven cents in gold for every dollar; that is nearly twenty years' interest Diseases Caused by Measles. Dr. Miles' Restora tive Tonic and Nervine Cured After Thirty-one Years. "I was a perfectly healthy young man, up to February 1865. When my regiment was in Camp Randall I was taken sick with the measles and I did not enjoy good health up 'to the time I used Dr. Miles' Restorative Nervine and Tonic in 1896. Doctors have told me it came from inactivity of the liver. I cannot say how many physicians did treat me but have had all kinds. Dieting has never helped me. Biliousness, attacks of headache, rheumatism, nasal catarh, hay fever, asthma, and chronic diarrhoea; have all taken their turn with me. Thanks to the Nervine and Tonic I am completely restored to health. I have also used Dr. Miles' Anti Pain Pills with good results and I think that the Dr. Miles Remedies are perfect" Rev. Hiram Bender, Sparta, Wis. ; "I want to say a few good words for Dr. Miles' Restorative Nervine. I have been troubled very much with insomnia since I made the change to the new paper and on account of this nave tried various remedies without relief. I was finally induced by a wholesale druggist, a personal friend of mine, to try Nervine. I can assure you it has done me a lot of good. I do not find it nec essary to use it Tegularly now but occasion 'aily when I find that I am excessively nerv ous and restless I again take it up as I always keep a supply on hand. It has never failed to give me the desired relief." A. Iluegin, Publisher "Daily Free-Press" Mil waukee, Wis. ' All druggists sell and guarantee first bot tle Dr. Miles' Remedies.

Some'of the mine own ers will carry out the decision of the commission by contracting with each worker. Some of the workers will not work with the non-union men who did not join the strike.. Had not any of the men stayed at work the mines would have filled with water and it would have, been months before they could commence work. It is reporters that the engineers on the coal roads, having nothing to do on the roads, went into the mines and managed the pumps. It appears that Mitchell called out. the engineers for tho purpose of wrecking many of the mines. with tho democrats. The vile conduct of this man Thomas has put the republican party In the saddle has turned over to the repub licans all tho offices of state and coun ty. Now let the democrats take their medicine. We. can't mourn with thoso that mourn. The populists felt deep C cut to the heart. To show the dem ocrats their great mistake they gave aid and comfort to the republicans. Now let the dead bury their dead. They are joined to their idols. They 'et a few demagogues lead them into a deep pit Let them work out their own salvation with fear and trembl ing. ,.. J. McGOWEN. Glendale, Colo. An Original Greenbacker Editor Independent: I received a copy of The Independent and read it very carefully. It meets my political views exactly. You" advocate the same doctrines I held in 1868, on economic and financial questions. I am what you may call an old, original green backer. I helped make the republi can party. I stood by when it was born. I stood by it until 1868, when I left it on account of its financial pol icy. I was an Abraham Lincoln re publican and am .yet. But the re publican party of today is no more like Lincoln republicanism than day is like . night. I believe the financial and other principles advocated by the old greenbackers, and afterward by the populists,, are correct. And I am prepared to stand by principles rather than, by party. I voted for W. J. Bryan in 1896 and 1900, because I thought, and still think, the Chicago and Kansas City platforms come as near our principles as we would be able to get. I .have met and talked with Mr. Bryan and in my esti mation he stands equal to Lincoln in maintaining the:rights of the people. I was chairman (in Illinois) of the first .convention ever called to organ ize the greenback party and helped draft its first platform." Have done a good deal of writing and stump-speaking in maintaining these principles. Am not 80 years bid and have some what relaxed my hard work on these lines; but as "long as I live I shall continue to advocate the principles that I conceive to be for the rights and interests " of the whole people. " ' j. B. VAN COURT; Newton, Ia. J. M. Hall, Hamilton, N. Y.: Find five educational subscriptions. I slumped from the republican party 26 years ago and have been a full-fledged populist in principle from that day. never having' worked with either of the old parties , until 1896 and 1900. Am with you. and may the good work go on until it shall revolutionize this entire government, enact and execute its laws in the interest of the whole people. A Democratic Democrat Editor Independent: Please send five more educational subscription cards. I think I can dispose of that many more, and am anxious to see The Independent circulated among the people, although it is not of the party I have been voting with for the past 22 years. But in case Grover and Bon nie and such persons get control of the democratic party in 1004, I want a party to go to where I ran still vote my sentiments. So I say, Stand firm, populists, and watch the hot old time that is likely to take place within the democratic party niside the next two years. L. C. LASHER. " Yell City, Ind. D. S. Pedrick, Bridgeton, N. J.: By these educational subscriptions I hope to convert from "mullet heads" to good American citizens. With Fear and Trembling Editor Independent: As the election is over no doubt you know the result. We cannot mourn with those that mourn. The victory of the republicans in this state and county can safely be attributed to the vile conduct of the democratic larty in county and state. Ex-Governor Thomas, chairman of the democratic state convention at Den ver, refused even recognition of the people's party. We were ignored and virtually kicked out of their conven tion by this man, Sir Charles Thomas. This distinguished ex-governor had been placed in the highest position within the gift of the populists of Colorado. Senator Patterson and our grand old ex-senator, Henry M. Teller, both pleaded our cause. The demo crats had both members in the United States senate; they had been elected by the populists working in harmony C. W. Lawson, Ennis, Tex., sfl.ys: "My heart is in this work. The third party must take charge of this govern ment and rule forever." Anxious for Truth Editor Independent: I live in the country 15 miles from the nearest money order office. We receive mail twice a week and send mail twice a week. Yesterday, the 9th, our receiv ing mail day, I sold your 5 cards in less than an hour. No populist re fused to take one. From best infor mation I can get very few of the lead ing populist papers are taken in this part of the country and now that the great coal strike is awaking the people to the enormous power of concentrated capital, many are anxious to obtain better information upon economic sub jects than the average newspaper seems inclined to publish. ALONZO HUBBARD. La Garita, Colo. Chas. Dexter, Cassville, N. Y., sends in five educational subscriptions and says: "I like The Independent best of all the papers I read. After I read It give it to others." Feels Pessimistic Editor Independent: I have received your circular inviting me to subscribe. To me it would be worse than money thrown away it would aid those who oppose what I call the truth and that is this: the ballot has seen its day, and those who urge trying this useless remedy any longer are de laying the cause of liberty and jus tice. Either the Bible or the bullet, the sage or the soldier, either a moral and spiritual reformation or civil wan There is no other alternative. I see no difference between democrat and re publican. Bryan does well to denounce imperialism, but when he smilingly speaks of "our imperialist friends," I know he is their brother at heart The recent elections show that im perialist leaders can, by intimidation and br'hery, order things as they please, and they gave a democratic gain here and there just to keep alive the hopes of those who still have faith in the "donkey party." Your paper claims to be indepen dent and fearless, but when did you ever give a hearing to one like my self? JAMES W. FITCH. Uncasville, Conn. (The Independent is just what its name indicates. It has no hesitancy about printing such communications as this of Mr. Fitch. Lack of space sometimes prevents publishing all that we otherwise would.) MISERYINCLOTHES : THE EXPERIENCE OF A DRUGGIST lfr. SAMS VALLEY Three of a Kind There are three principal elections: National, state, and municipal. Na tional elections are held for the pur pose of providing the new set of office holders with unearned increment, state elections for the benefit of the insurance companies and street rail ways and the bosses who wish to enter the senate, and municipal elections to give reformers a chance to show what they don't amount to.

II T1I a Reporter t Simple Way la Which HOTrcRiu the Difficulty "I have had a great many experi ences," said Mr. Albert L. Gall, a druggist of Sams Valley, Ore., "but the recollection of one of them outshines them all." "What was that?" ventured a re porter. "Well, when I was a little fellow, about 12 or 13 years old, I began to be afflicted with an eruption of the skin. something like diminutive boils. I think the cause was an hereditary Im purity of the blood. I was treated by several of the best physicians, but they did not help me any. I kept growing worse and the .eruptions became so numerous that it was a misery to wear clothes. After c while my , kidneys became affected." "Your skin looks clear now," said the reporter. "Yes, the trouble was all cured years ago. How? By Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People. I had heard of what thei", pills had accom plished In disease- of the blood "and decided to try them.
