LINCOLN, NEBRASKA. Rotten St. Louis Editor Independent: That the dem ocrats will carry the spring elections here by an overwhelming majority is & foregone conclusion. The reasons for this are not the much-abused Nes bit law and police interference at the polls, as has been alleged, but re publican rascality which has been disclosed in both city and natfonal administrations is causing decent re publicans to blush and stay at home or go to the polls and vote the demo cratic ticket. The Zeigenhein city administration was one which so reeked with boodl lng, bribery, misuse of money and padded pay rolls that the convictions and sentences to the penitentiary of members of the council and house of delegates made the unsuspecting stand aghast at the startling revelations. Many republicans declared then that they would remain with their party in national elections,' but in city politics would not vote their ticket. Now, things in national affairs are so unsatisfactory that many declare they will never vote the republican ticket again. That the unseating of J. J. Butler by congress was all right no one denies, but the seating of Wag ner was wrong. This wrong was in tensified by paying him for five months' time before the election in which he claimed to have been elected took place. It develops also that the postoffice department at Washington helped the "get-rich-quick" concerns in St Louis to swindle thousands of people out of their money and was bribed to with hold a fraud order forbidding these concerns the use of the mails. Besides, the whitewashing and re tention in office of Postmaster Baum- hoff, after the inspectors for the de partment had found him guilty of making immoral propositions to young women employes of the post office and offering them advancement if iiiey would accede to his wishes, is calling forth much comment and cen sure. x It seems that President- Roosevelt and Postmaster General Payne havs connived to condone this crime, and suppress, as far as possible, the pub lication of the facts concerning it People say that while President Roose velt has the reputation of being a brave man he is a moral coward and hypocrite, or he would not allow Mr. Baumhoff to retain this position after such charges had been proven by the affidavits of reputable young ladles. It seems that the republican admin istration of national affairs is as rot ten as was that of this city under Zeigenhein and his republican outfit. So who can expect other than a dem ocratic landslide? A CONVERTED REPUBLICAN. St Louis, Mo. A workingman has a right to eat and the federal courts will never in terfere with that right. Some dav, however, they may issue an injunc tion forbidding a workingman from touching bread or meat, or traveling along a road where he may come in contact with it. The St. Louis court does not deny the right of a working man to quit work, but it issues an in junction prevepting him from taking the necessary steps to do so. That is the order that a gold standard-Cleveland-appointed federal judge issued to the employes of the Wabash system, and he Intends -to send every one of them to jail, without trial by jury, it they fail to obey it
