In the selection of W. J. Wind *

made a qood choice. Mr. Wind

him without the palo of the now
democracy , as interpreted by Bryan ,
for ho wrote , "I am persuaded no
constitution was over so well calcu
a lated as ours for extensive empire
and flolf-qovornmont. " Ho never
doubted fcr a moment the constitu
tional power of the government to
acquire either insular or continental
territory.
The populist or fusion party ,
which has been in control of the
county government for the past ton
years , has been piling up unnojes-
sary and exorbitant taxes against
the farmeia and others all these
years , and now , to increase tboir
burden , are sending out special
deputies to collect these exorbitant
taxes by distress , before they can
realize from either their crop , hogs
or cattle , menoy to pay. If the
taxpayers want that kind of finan
ciering continued indefinitely , they
should continue to votu for pop

but a w ak vassal who was peddling
out responsible positions at the
head of state institutions to men
who di'.l him political favors , re
gardless of their competency to till
the positions and properly c.iio for
the wards of the state. Poyntor is
MJO weakest and most incompetent
governor the state of Nebraska ever
had Tokarnnh Herald.
A democrat icmarkcd to us that
"President MuKinloy has been very
fortunate in his udininititration , and
that ho would not bo surprised to
HCU him re-eleotod. " "Fortunate"
does not express the fact , It is not
a rnattor of luck that has brought
on the marvelous change that has
boon wrought in the past four years ,
neither was it ill luck that gave us
thu panic under Cleveland's admin
istration. The financial panic and
great distress that came with the
democratic administration was thn
result of the policy of the demo
cratic party. It was so obnoxious
to the business interests of the
countiy , that business men every
where lost 'confidence , and oven
before the Gorman-Wilson bill be *
came a law , industry showed signs
of weakening , and Us final passage
was followed by a complete sus
pension of business iu all the manu
facturing centers. Hundreds of
thousands of laborers were thrown
out of employment , debtors wore
prostrated financially , and banks and
business houses throughout the land
were forced to close thnr doors ,
bankrupt. It was a plain case of
cause leading to effect. Four years
ago President RIoKiuley was elect
ed on the pledge of the republican
party to re-enact a protective tariff
law , and to maintain an equal parity
between gold , silver and paper our-
ronoy. That labor should bo pro
vided employment at remu
nerative wages , and that the
revenue laws should bo so adjusted
that the receipts should exceed the
expenses of the government in time
of peace. The voters believed in
the pledges of the republican party ,
and returned it to power. As a
result , every department of business
was electrified , and as if by magic ,
lite and energy dispelled distrust.
Factories were opened , the army of
idle men aud women were provided
pmploymont , raw material was in
demand , beef and pork , cotton aud
wool were placed on a high plane.
Trade in all lines revived , farmers
aud manufacturers found ready
market for their products at good
prices , and the greatest era of pros
perity known to the history of our
country prevailed , north and south ,
east and west. Fortunate ! Perish
the thought. It is the result of
just legislation , aud a wise adminis
tration of the republican policy.
The farmer who raises a largo crop
of corn is the man who does not
trust to luck , but who plants in
season and cultivates it properly.
So with national affairs. Just and
practical laws are essential , and a
proper administration brings pros
perity. Impractical laws aud un
wise administration proves disas
trous. Because of past experience
with a democratic jiolioy and a
democratic administration , the
people will not support Bryan , nor
elect a democratic congress. The
sober , intelligent farmer or business
man is able to realize the great oon-
tnat between a panic and prosper
ity , and as most people prefer the
latter , they will vote the republican
ticket.

Beatrice Express ; Mr. Bryan
has not yet s.\id anything in the
press of the economic independence
of the Nebraska hog , which is
worth $4.50 more per head now
than it was four years at > o. It is
really not nice of the Nebraska hog
to bo so very valuable.
Hastings Republican ; During
the campaign of 180U , an empty
store room could bo had at almost
any point in the buiuners district ,
for use as headquarters. Now it is

but this year there are lots of them.
C. A Smith reports that there is

Tokaicah Herald : Wo find this
sentiment is growing stronger
among the farmers : "It is a good
thing to lot well enough alone. " It
is no stretch of memory to recall
the hard times of 1800 , and they are
not going to take any chnnoo of
having them repeated. They also
remember that every promise Bryan
made iu 1802-01.00 was erroneous.

Intelligence to high , it would seem
unneeeHHiiry that anything wlionld bo
mild to disprove the assertions of
Bryan and other fusion campaigner *
conecrnlug "militarism" and "Imper
ialism. "
In the first place , where Is there u
Republican who favors militarism or
Imperialism ?
In the second place , how can this
country have militarism or Imperial
ism without the people wanting It ?
The president could not do anything
to encourage It without an act of con
gress nnd congress could not do it
without the people voting for It-
electing men who would vote for It.
The president and congress could done
no more toward establishing this as
n fixed policy of the nation , without
the eonsent of a majority of fifteen
millions of voters , than could the chil
dren of the public schools of Nebraska.
There are fifteen million voters in this
country. It would require more than
seven million five hundred thousand
of them to favor nnd vote for militar
ism and imperialism before such a
policy would be possible. There are
approximately more than seven million
live hundred thousand Republicans in
the United States. Is It not strange
that , if such a policy be contemplated ,
not one of these favors it ? Docs not
this of itself prove that It Is a cam
paign bugaboo , intended to frighten
and fool tlio unsuspecting voter ? No
party dare no political party would be
so foolish ns to undertake such a move.
This same alarm was sounded when
Grant was elected. The "Copper
heads" proclaimed from the housetops
that If Grant was elected he would
call the army around him and pro
claim himself military dictator. Grant
at that time was fresh from the bat
tle-Held , where lie had just finished
disciplining a rebellious confederacy ,
and , being a soldier , there were some
who were duped and frightened , or
wanted to be and pretended to be , be
cause they were Democrats and op
posed to him politically but that gal
lant old hero directed the destiny of
the American people for eight years
and not a single act of his In any way
reflected on his sturdy patriotism. lie
retired from the executive chair with
the principles of self-government more
firmly inoculated and rooted in the
minds and hearts of the American people
ple than the5- had ever been. The
same was said of Abraham Lincoln.
Some of the very men who are now
pretending to bo alarmed at militarism
and Imperialism were the men who
contended In 1S01 to 18 ( > r that the
slave states had n right to withdraw
from the union , resis , . the constitution ,
do what would have destroyed the re
public and set np n government of
their own independent of the regu
larly established government. The
most treasonable acts were pointed to
by them as acts of patriotism. When
the spirit of secession spread through
out the south , when Jeff Davis estab
lished an independent government ,
many of these same men said it was
right , It was patriotic , and when the
flower of the youth and manhood of
the north went forth In arms to res
cue the nation from this awful peril
they were stoned. Insulted , shot at and
shot down b men of the same political
party that now pretends to see danger
of militarism In the patriotic policy of
President MoKlnley. The Republican
party has once saved the gallant old
ship of state from being driven by n
rebellious Democracy against the rock
of treason. It came to the rescue of
the nation at a time when Its guardian
ship was sorely needed. It saved tlio
nation from destruction. Is It reason
able to assume that it would no\v turn
around and destroy -what it has for tn
year1 ? contributed its best genius and
statcstnanshin to develop ? Ts It rea
sonable to assume that William Me-
Klnley. who wore the blue along with
Grnnt , Sherman , Sheridan and other
equally gallant soldiers , braving dis
ease , sickness and death to preserve
the nation from 'destruction , would
now attempt to destroy it ?
Tn the third plnce. the regular armv
now Is onlv a mere handful of men.
Tn , 1ROf ! and for years prior thereto the
regular army numbered l".27fl. Tn
1S19 , two years after MeTflnley Tva *
elected , the army numbered only 2.r > . -
700. or was more than 2.000 less than
when the Democrats went out of
power. Exclusive of volunteers , who
were engaged in the Spanish war and
who are now putting down Insurrec
tion In the Philippines and murderous
riots In China , the regular army now
number' ! CTt.OOO. The numerical
strength of tire regular army Is fixed
by law. and neither the president nor
congress can Increase or change It In
anv way.
Tt will be seen liv this that today the
average in the Putted States Is one sol
dier to every l.lfVt inhabitants.
TTo\v ridiculous then becomes the
charee of militarism and Imperialism
In the light of these facts ? One has
ouly to comnare these figures with tlio
flgures representing the armies of Ini-
ncrlal countries and other nations of
the earth to determine the ridiculous ,
ness of It.
\Rvrn RTR vnTn rmn > AREr
i Otilclal statistics show that
1ms n standing army of 838,000 sol
diers , or nine soldiers to every 1,000
Inhabitants ; Qermnny has 580,000 sol
diers , or 1JI soldier * to every 1,000 Inhabitants - - *
habitants ; Franco has r,1' > ,00o soldiers , "
or 14 soldiers to every 1,000 Inhab
itants ; Austria-Hungary ban J5SO.OOO , or
ten soldiers to every l.OM ( ) Inhabitant ! ) ;
Italy lias JSOO.uot ) . or ten soldiers to
every 1.000 Inhabitants ; Great Itrltnln
has 20,000 ; ! , or six to every 1,000 Inhab
itants ; the republic of Switzerland ( a
republic , not an empire ) lias 15,000 ! ? ,
with only y.000,000 ; Spain has 100,000 ,
or six to every 1,000 Inhabitants ; Bel
gium has . ' { 1,000 , or eight to every 1,000
Inhabitants : the United States by law
Is entitled to (55.000 ( , with a population
of 75,000,000. or. at the greatest , ono
soldier to every 1.15-1 Inhabitants.
Tims it will be seen that , compared
with absolute monarchies , limited mon
archies and republics , the army of the
United States dwindles Into Insignifi
cance. The United Stales , with a pop
ulation 25 times as great ns that of tha
republic of Switzerland , has an army
less than half as great.
OTHER SIGNIFICANT FACTS.
Another significant fact Is that when
the army was reorganised a short time
ago and there was u call for an.OOO vol
unteers tlio number that volunteered
was in excess of 1,000,000. This not
tilone attests the patriotism of the people
ple , but it Hliould remove all fear or
thought of draft , conscription or com
pulsory military duty any citizen may
entertain.
Then , again , why is it if Bryan and
his party honestly believe that there la
danger from militarism or Imperialism
that the fuslonists or Democrats have
not disbanded the militia iu states
where they are in control ? Have not
the fuslonlsls not only maintained the
militia In Nebraska , but have they not
increased the numerical strength and I
*
expense of it ? Have they not done the
same thing in many oilier states where
they are in power ?
The constitution makes the presi
dent the commiinder-in-clilef of the mil
itia when it is called Into actual serv
ice , and it would seem that if there bo
uny sincerity In all this carping about
"militarism" some of it at least would
bo directed against the militia , but
Bryan and his party have never had a
word to say on that scoro. Bryan Is
no more consistent in this than ho was
In 1SU ! ) , when he tried to contaminate
the money of the country and told the
people that unless this was done
sweeping industrial distress would fol
low.
low.Neither
Neither Bryan nor any other person
of ordinary intelligence believes that
this countiy now or at any future time
will change its position from a republic
to an empire. When Bryan talks about
Imperialism and militarism he says
what he does not himself believe. Ho
knows it is absolute nonsense. Ho
knows that this sort of talk Is likely
to fool somebody and perhaps result
In n gain of votes. He Is after votes
and is not above indulging in shameful
demagogy and imposition to get them.
That is the secret of his prel < > ndeJ
"anxiety. " It is such a ridiculous , silly
proposition that it is unworthy of con
sideration or serious thought. There
was it time when Mr. Bryan might
have pursued tills attitude without fear
of having his sincerity or Integrity im
peached , but the people generally at
this time know enough of Bryan to
know that he is a man of more than
ordinary Intelligence and they can looli
upon his attitude in this respect in no
other light than that of a political
demagogue.
There are many men , while differing
with Mr. Bryan in the past , who hava
never before questioned his sincerity ,
who will question it now. It is dlilictilt
for them to believe they can't bollevo
that a man of his intelligence can act
ually believe what he himself is trying
to impress upon the credulity of others.
HAS FAILED TO ACT.
Governor Poyntor has not as yet
taken any action In the matter of cor
recting abuses at the various state in

It lias been charged that at Milford

groceries taken from the home. It has
been charged that the commandant of
the home has bought goods for his rel
atives , had them bonked as groceries
nnd charged to the state. It lias been
charged that he reserves much space at
the home for relatives and that nearly
all of his family are provided for at the
state's expense. It is charged that ha
has an adjutant on the pay roll at $2. " ) ,
when the law explicitly soys that he
shall perform such service himself or
have it performed without expense to
the state. It is charged that he lias
sold property belonging to the state
without properly accounting for tha
money received from the sale of said
property. It is charged that ho hart
pastured stock on state grounds , col
lected for tlio same and never ac
counted to the state for the money
thus collected.
At Grand Island the physician in

charged with selling liquor to Inmate/ *
from the state's
dispensary without ac
counting for the money. He Is charged
with Inebriety nnd with incompetency.
Tie stands charged with having dissi
