DIETBICH FBESTIDIOXTATOR
It would seem, according to the
reports of that Nehraska bribery
case, that while Mr. Dietrich was
sufficiently a senator to draw his
salary from the date of his elec
tion, he was at the same time not
enough of a senator to be guilty
of bribery in selling a postmaster
ship, because , he had not been
sworn in. But . the question is
raised, Did he not use his posi
tion as a senator to procure the
appointment for the friend who
nairt the Drice? And further, Is
not the, introduction of the thimble-rigger's
jugglery into the at
tempted definition ' or Mr. .uiei
rich'g DOsitlon--,,Now you see a
senator and now you don't" apt
to rreate a'Domilar opinion ratner
favorable to nisv skill in legerde
main than; to his reputation for
clcan-handedness? St. Paul Pio
neer-Press, i ' , '
Part of the time, too, it seems that
he was sufficiently a governor to draw
salary from . the .state of Nebraska.
That "reputation for clean-handed-
ness," however, which the Fioneer
Fress speaks about is rather of a neg
ative character. ..
It was apparent to The Independent
from the start, that Senator Dietrich
was in no danger, of conviction. ; it is
irtuallv conceded that he sold' post-
offices and used his official position as
a "nursery" for the propagation ol
that polltico-uorticultural : process
know-n as "grafting;" but the indict
ments were secured against1 him for
personal reasons rather than from an
earnest desire-to enforce the laws and
secure clean official life. The United
States, district attorney is much, more
interested in holding on to his position
than he was in securing a conviction
of Dietrich. At least, that's the way
Thr TndeDendent views the whole
matter.
That Dietrich acted the fool, goes
without saying. That he is a grafter,
and a clumsy one. is equally true. But,
aside from the bungling, "bull-ln-the-china-shop?,
methods he adopts, he is
no worse than the majority ot united
States senators elected at the behest
ol. the big corporations. His gralt
ina" is a little coarser that's all.
The indictments against - Luetricn
were intended to serve a double pur
pose: To secure . the retention o;
United States District Attorney Sum
mers in office, and to sneive yieuicu
. i t i i
for re-election. These purposes have
doubtless been accomplished. The
man who succeeds to Dietrich's shoes
if his election is dictated by the big
railroad corporations of Nebraska
wilt be just as much of a grafter as
the man from Adams, altnougn, per
haps, not so clumsy and bungling. The
new man will be politic enough to cul
tivate the acquaintance and friendship
of the district attorney.
Dietrich was foolish enough to make
a granusiantt piay ou ms iciui.u
from Washington, that he wanted a
vindication" and that he would take
no advantage of "technicalities. Me
knew full well what Summers could
prove; and Summers purposely made
his opening statement so that the de
fense's demurrer would be sustained.
Of course, every republican paper in
the state that is expecting to whoop it
up for some other corporation tool, is
now holding up Dietrich' as a "horrible
example" and scoring him unmerciful
ly for taking advantage of a "tech
nicality." They are not shocked that
he sold ' postofflces, but are angry , be
cause he didn't manage to get a lit
tle better coat of whitewash.
Conduct like Dietrich's on the part
of a populist senator would bring 1m-n-ftliate
and crushing defeat upon Iho
people's party; but it will hurt the
icpubllcan party very little, if at all.
Rank and file republicans will doubt
less feel shocked and scandalized by
the revelat ons but they'll "vote "er
ftralsht" whenever the bosses tell
them to and the bosses are not so
hviwrrritlcil and thin-skinned aa to
are about such a little thing na sell
ing a few second-hand potoflHes to
the highext bidder for caah. All they
ask h that tbe seller be 'cute enough
to not get caught. ,

Charles Now no. In hli letter re
cardliti: enrollment In the Old (Juard
ot PopulUm. says.
"It Hci-ni like a Rrcat burden to

If It b trite and U ffrtaluly l
that "rternal vklUnce U th pru-t C,
librrtv." thn a uret many of tho
"old boys" must In all time to come
keep doing a great deal of the work
all over again. " Eternal rigilance is
made of innumerable acts of watch
fulness. The really vital work done
in the Peter Cooper campaign of 1S76
that is, the dissemination of a cor
rect knowledge regarding money
still endures. It does not" need to be
done all over again. But the organi
zation which effected this work has
long since ceased to exist. Yet there
are still living thousands- of those
who made up that organization and
voted for Peter Cooper. Many of them
are today enrolling as members of
the Old Guard of Populism, proud' of
the, fact that they began with Peter
Cooper and "have come all the way
over the trail."
;There is considerable ' truth in Mr.
Nownes criticism that the 'perquis
ites," meaning thereby' the emolu
ments of office, have gone to what he
terms "the half-baked railroad pass
brigade," but that is to be expected
in any party which clings to the dele
gate convention system of making
nominations. And, while a system of
direct nominations would eliminate
the chances of winning a' nomination.
by smooth wire-pulling, in conven
tion, yet it is nevertheless a fact that
the time will probably, never come
when the different offices are filled
with as many farmers or wage-work
ers as their numerical voting strength
would seem to warrant. "There will
always be a preponderance of lawy
ers in public office especially these
in which more than a superficial
knowledge of the lawjs necessary.
The fact Is, that there are many
thousands of farmers ' who never
sought and do not want a public office.
What they do want Is equitable laws
and a just administration of them.
Having no "sp-ecial privileges" to ask
at the hands of legislature, executive
or judiciary, however, these self-same
farmers have "slept on their rights."
They have not been vigilant. They
have allowed themselves to be swayed
by religious and race questions, by
controversies over the liquor question,
by sectional matters; and, under cover
of these irrelevant "issues," skilled
agents of those interests which do
want special privileges and could not
live without them are elected to of
fice right along. Unfortunately, the
people's party has not been able to
free itself of corporation agents al
though not so badly burdened by them
as the two old parties ;? and it never
will be free frcm them until it makes
its nominations by direct vote.
However, the great question is not.
one of "perquisites," but of good gov
ernment. By far the greater number
of voters never aspire to an office,
and even a smaller number would un
der good laws and good administra
tion of them. When wc have "equal
rights for all special privileges for
none," It is more than likely that
public officers wili be retained much
onger than they now are. But the
man in office will have no advantage
over the man our. or it.
With the optional referendum and
intiative in force, it would not mat
ter whether congress is composed of
awyers or farmers no important law
could be enacted without the farmers
having an opportunity of saying whe
ther thev want it or not. The power
to approve or reject is what the great
majority must have, rather than office.
Then it will not matter who does the
clerical work of framing the laws, for
everv man will have , a voice in the
real legislative . work.
