MARCH 24, 1904. 10 THE NEBRASKA INDEPENDENT 18 THE PRESIDENT AFRAID? The hope of a good many brokers In ' New York now is that they may be able to keep out of. bankruptcy until the first of May, when the leases for their 'offices expire and they can stop the rent bill. Several days during the last two weeks the sale of stocks has been less than 75,000 shares, which, - compared with last year when the sales ran above 3,000,000, makes a mighty change. Commissions have run down to $2 for 100 shares. The re sult of all this" false political economy - the "capitalization of prosperity" and the laudation of "captains of in dustry" is that fifteen or twenty men have gathered in , all the accumula tions of the vast mass of the common people of the eastern states. These men have taken the money earned and saved by years of toil and without giv ing anything in return, have invested it in gilt-edged -bonds and stocks of this and other countries. The stupid masses will go to work again, live ; scantily, endure privations and con , tlnue to "vote 'er straight," whereas if the laws were enforced, the thieves wouid be sent' to jail and some of the money could be recovered. Roosevelt is said to be a brave man, but he dare not, -order one of these millionaire thieves to be prosecuted. ' It would takei a braver man than Roosevelt to do that. It would require a man hav ing.! the courage of Andrew Jackson. : BAN AGAINST A SNAG The republican managers have run against a snag. They -were 'going to make a hugh cry about being the anti trust party and point to the. merger decision' as proof. "BuU suddenly ihe lact was brought to light that there v as $475,000 left in the fund voted by congress to prosecute the trusts and IW words of; one ... of., the justices of the "supreme court, that criminal prose cutions .should logically follow. There is clear field now for the prosecution of ' the trusts, north,' south, east and west, and if the republican-adminis tration is really. ; and truiy; an :antr trust administration,;' it will go for? ward and r ioi.ecute. The administra tton k has t ' :i supreme ? cour t, and . the universal I'mand of the people that the robberies of the trusts shall be stopped, to back it. With the way open and the funds provided, if the ad ministration refuses to prosecute the i-val trust, the meat trust, the other railroad ;:iiotrj it begins to dawn on the party leaders that they are in a worse fix tian If nb merger decision had ever been obtained.- ! Before this, campaign is half over a cry will go up from Maine to Califor nia and from the lakes to the gulf: "Why don't you prosecute the trusts? There is no satisfactory answer that c.n be invented to such a demand. The law is good, the money is at hand ttie trusts are criminal violators of the law, why are they not prosecuted? This merger decision, over which tbe republican senators held a jollification meeting, the managers are just begin ning to see Is the worst blow that has been struck against them. One of the most successful and bril llant newspaper . men in New York genda to The Independent the Maee- donian cry first heard on the plains t Asia 2,000 years ago: ' Come nnd help us." Hear him: The nearer the presidential cam palgn approaches the more Important It seems to me that The Independent should get to work In New York There U a middle w ay hot ween Hearst and republicanism, and it need- a Volte. A paper uch as The InJepen- HEADACHE i I!"m.v ll'Ulfc Al fl aVu 2 Dmm I'm. dent i3 the only adequate or avail able medium. The people do not be lieve with Hearst. They do not be lieve with the republicans. Yet there are a good many thousands who are going to be led to Hearst because they can't stand the 'commercial oli garchy' and a good many thousands who are going to be led to the 'com mercial oligarchy' because they can't stand Hearst "The issue . seems to lie between 'conservatism' and 'clamor.' 'Con servatism' under the oligarchy's in terpretation means the preservation of special privileges. . 'Clamor' means opportunism, irresponsibility and in decency. ''What the public wants is the course that is associated with neither of these. You've got the secret of that course. Bring it to . New York. Congratulations, for your success at St. Louis." KIEP A GOOD CONSCIENCE The Independent is read by hun dreds of the best educated men all over the United States. ."While in New York the editor was in the study oi a scholar of international reputation. Some remarks were made about the shallowness of the editorial writing n the dailies," high-priced weeklies and magazines. This scholar in reply said: "You can see the .distinction that T make." He pulled out a huge waste basket filled . with that sort of literature 'and then pointed to a com plete file of the Nebraska Independent on one of the upper shelves of his library, and said, . pointing to the waste basket: "I glance at these, and then chuck them in there. I 'readhe Independent and then it' goes upthere for future reference' Mr. W. D. Home of Allegheny, Pa., expresses his opinion in the following word3: "The Independent is, 'im mense.' Those New York editorials, in fact all your editorials, are. among the very best I see anywhere. Per haps you cannot stem the tide of pub lic, degradation, but you. show and continue to show a field of activity for serious minds where they can ap ply all their power for righteousness, keep a good conscience and leave the results to the Maker of heaven and earth." ANARCHY IN COLORADO Sec 4, of article IV., of the consti tution of the United States is as fol lows: - "The "United States shall guar antee to every state in the Union a republican form of government, and shall protect each of them from invasion, and on application of the legislature, or the execu tive (when the legislature cannot be convened) against domestic violence." The duty to guarantee a republican form of government does not depend upon the application of the governor. That Is a duty that the United States at any time, and without any action of the governor or the legislature, is bound to perform. There cannot be a republican form of government with out an honest ballot. That there Is no longer such a thing in Colorado is known to the whole United States. A congressman recently resigned be cause he was convinced that voting In Arapahoe county and Denver was m much under the control of thugs and dishonest election officers that they were void There cannot be a republican form of government without courts, and In Colorado courts have been overthrown by the military, armed noldiers have teen stationed In the courts and the ju.lars m Intimidated, that they feared to I sue a proeeaa. There tan he no republican form ct Rovernment where, peneful Ittc n are draped out of their bed at night ami drlvm out of the country by armed mob ho are aide.1 and aWt ted by the gnveriur. That has oc curred tUe In (V!. ndo during the latt )ear. last weu iUty citlicnt, one of For KMoeys, Bladder and Rheumatism New Discovery by Which All Can Now Easily Cure Them selves at Home Does Away With Surgical Operations Positively Cures Bright's Disease and Worst Cases of Rheumatism Thousands Already Cured TRIAL TREATMENT AND 64-PAGE BOOK FREE y?MV rift M$m .....

The doctor seems justified in his strong statements as the treatment has been thoroughly investi gated besides being tried in hospitals, sanitar iums etc.. and hss been found to be all that is claimed for it. It contains nothing harmful but nevertheless the highest ' authorities say It will positively cure Bright's disease, diabetes, droosy gravel, weak back, stone iu tbe bladder, bloated bladder, lrequent desire to urinate, al bumenaria, sugar in the urine pains in the back legs, sides and over the kidneys, swelling of the feet and ankles, retention of urine, scald ing, getting up nights, pain in the ladder, wetting the bed nifd such rheumatic aficctions as chronic, muscular or inflammatory rheuma tism, sciatica, rheumatic neuralgia, lumbago, gout, etc., which are now known to be due en tirely to uric acid poison in the kidneys-in short, every form of kidney, bladder or urinary trouble In man, woman or child. That the ingredieats will do all this is the opinion of such authorities as l)T. WilksofGuy'a Hospital, London; the editors of the United States Dispensary and the American Pharma copoeia, both official works; Dr. 11. C. Wood, member of the National Academy oLclenca and a long list of others who speak of it in the highest terms. But all this and more is ex plained in a 64-page illustrated book, which scti iorth the doctor's original views and goes deeply into the subject of kidney, bladder and rm u matic diseases. He w ants you to have this book 6S well as a trial treatment of his discovery, ant you can get them entirely free, without stamps or money, by addressing the Turnock Medical Co., 1117 Turnock Building. Chicago, III., and as thousands have already been cured there in every reason to believe it will cure you if only you will be thoughtful enough to send for tho Iree trial and book. Write the first spare mo ment you have and soon you will be cured. It would seem that any render so emitted should write the company at once since no money is Involved and the indorsements ara from such a hih and trustworthy source. whom was the manager of the largest mercantile establishment, were driven by force of arms in the dead of night from their homes in Tellurlde. put on a railroad train and transported sixty miles distant. When their friends proposed to escort thorn back the governor of Colorado, so the papers say, ordered out the whole of tho state militia to make the work vt the mob effective. All this is anarchy and nothing else and Is likely to precipitate bloody con flicts. Colorado no 'longer has a re publican form of government. It is time for tho United States to Inter vene, and secure to tle people of that state their constitutional rights.
