MAY 28, 1903. THE NEBRASKA INDEPENDENT HARDY S COLUMN It is asserted that the government architect is now planning an entirely new postofflce building for Lincoln. The building should be located in the center of the lot and the east, north and west sides should be alike and the south side shoul be the team side where the mail bags are taken in and handed out. The millionaires, bankers, corpora tions, trusts and imperialists ar3 working for the control of both the" old parties. They expect when the two nominations are made and the two platforms thut half of their bribe money will be given to each and no matter which . is elected, they will rule. : , In condemning what the Russians have done to the Jews, we might in clude what the , Americans have done to the Filipinos. So far no just cause for slaughter . has been given. The Jews in America mind their own bus iness, support their own poor and as few of them are seen drunk as in any other religious class. If Americans can live side by side with Jews, why can not other rations? Our saloon keepers have a Russian feeling against temperance men who are inclined to enforce law. Nine have been slaught ered here in America In the last few years. : The editor of the Nebraska Jour nal in last Saturday's number flopped over on Bryan's free trade side so far as works of art are concerned. Wealthy people import high-priced fancy ar ticles and they should be let in free, but what the common people consume and enjoy should be subjected to a high tariff. That is republicanism to day. The United States court has just de cided that it has no authority to en force the fifteenth amendment in pro tecting colored voters and recom ments that they appeal to political parties and to congress. The naval gun boats were out the other day trying their thirteen-Inch guns. The mark was five miles away and it was hit twelve times out ol thirteen shots. Exercise of that kind in preparation for war better be ex changed and guns of . equal justice tested. Guns of peace are much more charming than guns of war. We cannot sanction some of the things our university students do. Wolves howl and lions roar, slums s. trespass upon the rights of chickens, but such are not the animals for stu dents to imitate. The result will be that our best parents will send the,'' children to more secluded schools of education. Big tank ships are being built for carrying oil, similar to the tank cars A part of ship space, however, is lefc cut for other freight so a part of a ship load can be brought back after the oil is unloaded. A big ship has ;ust been launched in Scotland wiih a capacity of 21,000 tons. If the tariff was taken off of oil we could bring oil this way from Russia or make the Standard Oil company come down in price or at least not go up any higher. There was no reason for the last ai- vance in price for crude oil never was cheaper than it has been since the wells were opened in Texas. friends, saloonkeepers; gamblers and fiostitutes, favored it President Roosevelt is at work among voters who stand nearest to him. His standing on several public questions is such that he knows he can make no votes on Wall street, unles he plays the same game Cleve land did promise one thing publicly and another thing privately to Wall street We are still a Lincoln repub lican, but not a Mark Hanna or Pier pont Morgan republican. We are still a Biyn democrat; but not a Clevelani democrat. .We will vole for a yellow doa: before we will vote for Cleveland, or any man like him. ' . . H, W.

There is a law in England forbid ding a man to marry a deceased wife'3 sister. Can a woman marry a de ceased husband's brother? and we would like to know the difference if they can. Cousins can marry every where and they are much nearer re lated than sister-in-law or brother-in-law. English parliament is trying now for the sixteenth time to repeal the law, but they fail about as our congress fails to provide for the elec tion of senators by the people. Two thousand immigrants from Liv erpool landed at St. John the other day bound for the Saskatchwan valley to establish an English colony. The Nickel Plate railroad from Chi cago to Buffalo is one of the most di xect roads and is now running three through trains daily with vestibule sleepers and dining car. Good meals can be had for 35 cents. Everything can .be had at lower rates than or. other roads without rush or crash and a liJe is actually more pleasant. We do not believe the city dads ha1 any legal right to rent the public streets to traveling showmen and then allow them to Clock the streets for a week. It appears the three Farmers, Attention!

Or, if you wish to buy a farm, ranch or Lincoln home, write to or call on Williams & Bratt, 1105 O st, Lincoln, Neb. Matter ot Names It seems to be the rule when one opposes any. particular thing to givs it a wrong name. 'Plutocratic apolo gists use indiscriminately the terms anarchy, populism, Socialism, democ racy, etc. A populist is dubbed a so cialist; a socialist ' is called an an archist; a Bryan democrat is termed a populist, and so on. Richard L. Metcalfe's open letter to Norman E. Mack has stirred up a hor net's nest all along the line and the comments are numerous and various. The Chicago Chronicle seems to be one paper that makes no mistake In its view of the democratic situation except that it gets its names badly mixed. The democratic party which nominated Bryan in 1896 and 1900 U by no means a populist party; and the so-called democratic party which nominated Palmer and Buckner In 1896 is nothing but a plutocratic party even more plutocratic than the re publican party itself. But, aside from being tangled up in its names, the Chronicle is correct. There are two parties.

The Chronicle says: . TWO PARTIES, NOT ONE. (The Omaha newspaper editor who is..jsaid to have been put forward by Mr. Bryan for the purpose of ascer taining the grounds upon, which the Cleveland end, Bryan wings of the democratic party can co-operate is not a man well lilted to act the part of peacemaker. Like many other people who speak with inspiration from Lincoln, Neb., he is mistaken in the assumption that there are two wings of the democratic party. There is a democratic party and there is a populist party. They cannot be reconciled to each other. They never have been and they never will be. The Omaha mouthpiece of Mr. Bry an is a populist to whom democratic doctrine is necessarily offensive. H3 cannot even discuss that doctrine in coherent and rational words. He Is so thoroughly wedded to the debased money, repudiation, socialism and populism that he uses the jargon of the advocates of these anti-democratic factions when he addresses democrats in the pretended interest of harmony. Only one duty presents itself to real democrats, and that is to extricate their party from the slough of popul ism. This cannot be done by compro mise or by concessions. The issuo between democrats and populists at the next national convention of the democratic party should be clear and emphatic. If the organisation is to be popul istic and socialistic well and good. Democrats will govern themselves ac cordingly. If it is to be democratic well and good. Populists and social ists may govern themselves accordingly.

The new method of smoking meat has come to stay. It has already come and staid so long in many perls of the country that there is no longer any more thought of coins; back to the old method than of returning to the okl-fashioned ox curt. When you smoke your meat with our M'dertt Meat Smoker, you accomplish all that could possibly be done by life o'd method, and something that the old -ty does not accomplish. The meat is bettfr protected against decay and against the attacks of germs and insects. It tastes better, it locks better, and it will bring more ni' iiey. The old method of smoking dries out the meat and reduces the weight. The jlinnkage is often cne-fifth, and this runs inio money when you consider the amount of meat the average farmer usually smokes. Our Modern Meat Smoker is practically con deiued liquid smoke which can be applied in a minute with a brush or a sponge, and that ends the process. You run no danger of losing by fire or theft, aud save both time and monty. Our Modem Meat Smoker is put up in quart tottles only. One bottle will cover 250 to 500 lbs. of meat.
