Jffrsons Dream
Cincinnati, O., Jan. 15, 1905. At the
Vine Street Congregational church,
Herbert S. Bigelow, the pastor, took
for a text Kipling's lines: "They! If
their own front door is shut, they'll
swear the whole world's warm." Mr.
iMgelow said in part:
TOhaf trnn want tn a machine is the
maximum amount of power with the
least possible waste. It is not enough
that the engine is able to pull the load.
How much coal does it consume? How
much friction is there?
iiuman society IS a macuiue iuoi,
must submit to the same test. A3 to
the many triumphs of our civilization
we may agree. But what is the per
centage of loss? What is the cost? Nay,
Is it not obvious that there Is a se
fious flaw in the work?

This same day another man t&a&s.
and requested that he be arrested. The
police sent him away. Later, he ap
peared drunk. Then the prison doors
were more hospitable. The next
morning, in police court, when he . waa,
sentenced to a term in the workhouse,
he turned to an officer by his side and
said with evident satisfaction: "I knew
I'd get it." s
' In the Hammond street station, they
have a room, where, on these winter
nights, you may always find men lying
down on the bare floor more thickly
than they will lie in their pauper
graves. Now and then a man applies
for shelter who has uncommonly good
clothes or gives other signs that he is
Just down temporarily and may get up
again. The officer in charge told me
that it was their custom to accord such
persons the "privilege of sleeping in
one of the cells with the prisoners."
That was a sublime dream of Jef
ferson's a republic which should pro
tect everyone in his rights of life, lib
erty and the pursuit of happiness. Yet
here are our fellow citizens in this
great republic committing crimes that
they may earn the privilege of wear
ing a felon's stripes and make sure of
a prisoner's fare.
Are; we those of whom .Kipling
speaks? Or have we been committing
the crime of which that great French
statesman spoke when he said:
"It i3 not error which opposes the
progress of truth; it is Indolence, ob
stinacy, the spirit of routine, every
thing that favors inaction?"

Tibbies, placing it in lead pt all otner
Nebraska counties in the , numDer 01
populist votes cast. But, alas! Custer
county, once the "hotbed of Nebraska
populism," is no longer', a populist
county. We have a thousand Watson
and Tibbies populi3ts left from the
fusion wreck, thank God, who will
never surrender while the spirit of
liberty lives, but Custer county, "the
cradle of populism," is today in full
and complete possession of the repub
licans, and never can be made a popu
list county again under the policy of
"sensible, sincere and sane,", co-opera-
eral who have expressed
in your columns.
There is little encouragement " for
populists in the late election returns
from this county. The campaign, had
but fairly begun, when fusion fixers
from Lincoln "butted in' to-our local
affairs, and regardless . of the refusal
of our county and district conventions
to accept fusion upon any basis, they
succeeded in manipulating matters so
as to defeat both our populist nominees
for the legislature, and swell Roose
velt'3 vote by several hundred. ..,r.
Notwithstanding the fusion on ' leg
islative ticket notwithstanding ; their
pretended indorsement pf populist
principles notwithstanding their as
sumed admiration of our brilliant Wat
son every Bryan democrat , in Custer
county,- so far as is known, cast his
vote for Alton B. Parker, and most of
them, locally, supported the republican
nominees. '
In 1890, when Custer county populists
clung tenaciously to principles and
pursued a straight-out, honest and in
dependent course shunning fusion as
they would the leprosy or dry rot we
polled 2,623 votes for J. H. Powers
(pop.) for governor, a plurality over
Richards (rep.) of 1,025 votes, and up
to 1896, our normal populist plural
ities stood regularly at' more than 1,000.
In 1893 we had driven both old party
frauds into each other's arms. They
put up a combination ticket (half re
publican and half democrat) against us
and that year we whipped them both.
The worst they were ever whipped in
all their lives. And we would be whip
ping them to a standstill yet, had our
populists steered clear of the fusion
trap and maintained the integrity of
their party organization. Co-operation
has driven, at the most conservative
estimate, fully 800 voters from our
ranks in Custer county, undone the
faithful work of former years, demor
a" id our forces, and left U3 almost
nded in a wilderness, of fusion
tombstones. I have not talked with all
our populists, , personally since the
election, but when The Independent
publishes the result of its referendum
vote on the future policy of the popu
list party, 1 believe it would be safe In
saying: "A thousand populists voters
in Custer county are opposed to any
further fusion henceforth and forever.
For eight years in Nebraska the fu
sion road has led toward the demo
cratic camp. From start to finish "co
operation" has proven to be a losing
game. VThe great body of populist vot
ers never demanded fusion never
wanted it. In accordance with the dla-
