Jr Rhodes Speaks.
It ia Buli'.oiu a people iu treated to
so fine a panegyric of reform bun
combe na the historian of the pops ,
viz , Dr. Rhodes , gave to HIH people
ple in last wuek'd0lik'f. _ If that
denunciation were scattered among
the Boom it would equal to an
army of 20,000 men. The pops
should send it to Aguinaldo at
onoe. Surely Dr. Khodos is not a
near relative of Cecil Rhodes. It
would not bo surprising if Dr.
Rhodes should head ati army and
start afoot , like Ooxoy , across coun
try to ths aid of the Boors , Muybo
however , ho will remain to see if ho
can't bo of service
more to Aguin
aldo in the next Nebraska legisla
ture. The Dr. is fair in some of
his statements ; for instance ho says :
"llio ibNueu winch will separate
political parties thin year have al
ready boon framed. " YOB , very
true ; and not a single old lime pop
principle is loft in those issues.
Bryan bos made the issue , and it
will bo oKl time democratic "al
arms. " Dr. Rhodes has boon one
of the "middle of the road" des
ciplos until ho aspired for the legis
lature , and sinuo then ho has swal
lowed Bryan , democracy and Aguin
aldo , hides , hoofs and horns.
Rhodes talks just hko Vanland-
ingham and Fernando Woods used
to talk. The flame things the Dr.
says of MoKmloy , the above pa
triots of soooKsion said about Lin
coln. Wo would almost think the
Dr. has been reading some of their
old HpcoohoH. Just to think of it :
After Bryan is defeated and the
demooraiM have swallowed the pops
then there will bo no more "human
freedom" and all "inalienable"
rights wll bo gone. It makes one
I almost weep to think of the Dr.
* and'all the pops in the belly of
democracy ; without any political
"human freedom" and denied their
inalionnblo rights to run for office
and howl "alarms. " The Dr. says :
"It muni bo humiliating to a loyal
American oilizou to have it hinled
that , this nation has formed an alli
ance with Great Britain " Yea , it
might be woru t'le people not used
to itbut like many other disagree
able' things people consider the
source of annoyance , and go on
about their business. People learn
to have great sympathy for men
like the Dr. when their ailment
becomes chronic. Those periodical
blow offa of the Dr. are about the
: only way ho IWR of getting rid of
the foul gassoH which collect on his
political stomach. Again , the Dr.
says , "When this nation was in iho
throes ol rebellion and disunion , it
was Great Britain that gavu com
fort to Iho nation's enemy. " VVell !
Well ! Hero the Dr's democracy
tripped itself. Great Britain aiding -
ing democracy during the civil war ,
and this democracy "tho nation's
enemy ! " However , it was no
worse for Great Britain to give
comfort ihon lo democracy than for
the Dr. and his pop allies to- give
comfort to' the panic democracy to
day vrhon they are in alliance with
our nation's enemies. No doubl
the Dr. wants the republican ad
ministration to take sides in the
South African war and help the
Boara , This would give him and
democrats an opportunity to swing
around ou Washington's farewel
address , about no "entangling alii
onoes" with foreign countries. It
is not/ight for thu Dr. and demo
orats to bo able to do nothing more
than "hint" that'thoro is uu "on-
tangling alliance , " They want at
alliance .made , no matter wha
might bo the oonsequenoo , so they
can kick , just as Bryan wanted the
treaty with Spain ratified so ho
could kick. The Dr. says again
"No nation has tought wilh greater
ttnao'Uy the principles of republic
anism than England. " Now , if
this were true , it is strange that
ono of the fl'rflt efforts at reform
the pops made was to copy a law
from an Englioh government the
Australian ballot law. Blrange
lhat Australia , and Canada , and
other Knglioh provinces do not
start a demo.pop party , if they arose
so cruelly tro'tod. Really wo
wonder if U 3 Dr. En
glish history. The story of Run'
cymode and the long training our
forefathers had in political right !
while yet in England , wore the
basis of our Declaration of Inde
pendence. All the rights of revo
lution our forefathers set up were
rights that Englishmen iu England
had acquired , and which oven Great
Britain now allows to her subjects.
We suppose that it is true that
wrongs alill exist , but what prom
ise have wo of anything bettor from
a party that appeals to the lowest
passions of man for its strength ?
The next time the Dr. prescribes
lus political dose , wo suggest that
ho gives it in homoeopathic pills.
It is bolter to gently develop the
disease , and when the people got
somewhat used to his treatment ,
and see just how the thing is , then
they can Bland those strong allo
pathic injections.
Democratic Record ,
About the only reuurd democracy
has loft , or scorns likely to bavo for
many years to come , IB a record of
hard times and platforms tilled with
"alarms. " Everything that has
marked our history with progress
has betn opposed by uinoorats ,
and everything that h.i brought
calamity has been under democratic
rule. It would seeru that sensible
> eoplc would some lima take pro
uulion by past experiences and
cease lo Irusl u party with an un
broken record of failura. It is
strange Mr. Bryan can sea nothing
wrong in the democratic policies of
expansion , If over the United
Stales was engaged in an unholy
war , il waa when a democratic ad
ministration made war upon Mei-
co because she olaitned-tho right to
lold Texas from seceding. Taxas
was colonized by democrats with
ho expressed purpose to overrule
the resident Mexicans and lead the
erritory into revolt. It wai done
also with the understanding to en
courage and xtoid slavery. Mex-
co at that time had taken a step
ar ahead of demeoraoy in the
Uuitod Slates , and had freed nor
slaves. The abolition spirit in the
north and the anti-slavery move
ment in Mexico , WP too much of a
menanoa to democracy , so a war
was incited to antagonize tbo two
countries and humiliate Mexico in
behalf of a democratic A merioan
policy of alaveiy. President Jack
son bad offered , .Mexico $5,000,000
for Texas , and would , no doubt have
offered inoro bad his pioponitlons
not been bluntly refused. Now
uoinos one , Bryan , of democratic
pedigree , and says we should not
adopt an expansion policy that
would necessitate a differoat con *
ditiou of political policy. lie
knows that the democratic policy in
wrestling Texas from Mexico , was
for no other purpose than to fasten
slavery upon us. A policy wholly
foreign to a republic , and an
instill lo the Declaration of Inde
pendence. Texas oimo inlo Iho
uuion a democratic rebel , and re
mained so till a republican adminis
tration transformed her conditions
consistent with a free and republi
can government. Every expansion
under democracy has been in the
interests of un-American principles
and policyand no ono knows it butter
than Bryan , unless ho still approves
of thai policy , which cost our conn-
try BO dearly iu lives and money.
Ilo certainly kwows that the strug
gles in Kansas , which wore tha bi-
ginning of the civil war , were all
the results of democrats trying to
force their un-American policies
over the terrilory purchased by Jet-
forson. All ibe territory acquired
by democracy beoamo truly Ameri
can , in apito of demooraoy , by re
publican loyalty to American
liberty. Every foot of territory
gotten by demooraoy was dedicated
in their policy as a onrsa to the
country , and a blow at tbo dignity
and freedom of labor , btranga that
soon this same democratic parjy
should quote as a part of their plat *
form , Iho Declaration of Indopon
donco. Strange they should coin
pare the Philippine islanders with
our'fore-fathers , unless they have
forgotten that they wore not all
democrats.
The republican party is not tak
ing from the inhabitants of ( he
Philippine island , country , free
dom , or .opportunity. In fact it
offers to them all these things in the
only way they could hope to secure
them peacefully. A party that is
afraid to trust American loyalty
and ability to carry our American
prjnotples over the world is not fit
to represent American people , and
should not be trusted upon its
promises , or believed in its sudden
profession of loyalty. The only
true American p : lioy is to carry
our ideas of freedom to every pee
plo. The Declaration of Indepen
dence is eternal anduniversal truth.
It is for all people , and the republican
lican party has taken a grand stop ,
and it will inspire ovary lever of
our country with a higher faith and
hope in our national destiny and
duly.
A Democrat .nations Judge (0 ( Rhodes
DDITOR REPUBLICAN I at
tempted to answer the address of
Judge ( ? ) Rhodes , published in
the Chief of Jan. 19 , but found
its senility so charlatanic that it
would be time wasted. No res
pectable man should attempt to
exchange epithets with a blath
erskite , for he will only sink him
self to the level of his opponent
A communication which is , as I
believe , entirely devoid of truth ,
is not entitled to any serious con
sideration. All the charges made
are empty and'entirely harmless
to anyone , and will only bring1
contempt upon their author.
Calling1 men and nations robbers
and pirates does not make them
so Judge , do you know the dif
ference between airobber and a
pirate ? Permit me to ask the
Judge ( ? ) where he finds a scin
tilla of fact to base his grand
iloquent address upon. What is
your authority for saying "The
McKinley administration is in
league with Great Britain ; is
organized to destroy this God-
given right" To what right do
you allude ? That this govern
ment has formed an alliance with
Great B ritain ? "Would not an al
liance with the highest type of
law abiding and equity loving
people in the world be a desirable
alliance ? An alliance with Great
Britainl If so is it not better than
an alliance with the men for whom
you will vote this fall Boss Cro-
ker , Senator Clark of Montana ,
and Billy Bryan ; "When this na
tion was inthc-throes [ of rebellion
and disunionit was Great Britain
that gave aid and comfort to the
nation's'cnemy. " Are you not a
little uncharitable to your ancient
friend ? Is it'not'the ' mass of men
that were in rebellion that are
your most active'leaders now ? Is
Great Britain a despotic govern
ment ? If so , when did she be
come so ? I believe that a man
who has worn the judicial ermine
four years should have absorbed
enough legal knowledge to know
that the magna carta is the foun
dation upon which all constitu
tional governments are based ;
and thatjthe common law of Eng
land is the substratum of all our
personal rights. I believe your
knowledge of history and of law
are about equal , both represented
by the figure 9 without a stem.
"What must have been the humili
ation of a lawyer who- was com
pelled to stand up befor ? you and
say , "Your Honor ! "
To be very serious , Judge , not
wishing the public to know it ,
that senatorial bee in your bonnet
has addled your brains , and you
have come to the point where I
believe you are not responsible for
your utterances.
