does not express llio fact , It is not
a matter of luck that has brought
on the marvelous change that has
been wrought in the past four years ,
neither was it ill luck that gave us
the panic under Cleveland's admin
istration. The financial panic and
real distress that came with the
democratic administration was ihn
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 'coniidonco , and oven
before the Gorman-Wilson bill became -
came a law , industry showed signs
of weakening , and its final passage
was followed by a complete sus
pension of busiueeB in all the manu
facturing centers. Hundreds of
thousands of laborers wore i brown
out of employment , dobtdrs wore
proMtriled financially , and banks and
business houses throughout the land
wore forced to close thnr doors ,
bankrupt. It was a plain caHe of
oauBO leading to effect. Four years
ago President AIcKiuley was elect
ed on the pledge of the republican
party to ro-ouaut a protective tariff
law , and to maintain an equal parity
between gold , silver and paper our-
rnncy. That labor should bo pro
vided employment at romu-
noralive 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 behoved 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 magio ,
lite and energy dispelled distrust.
Factories were opened , the urmy of
idle men aud women were provided
employment , raw material was in
demand , beef and pork , cotton and
wool were placed on a high plane.
Trade in all lines revived , farmers
and 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 and un
wise administration proven disas
trous. Because of past experience
with a democratic ipolioy 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 con
trast between a panic and prosper
ity , aud as most people prefer the
latter , they will vote the republican
ticket.

likewise baa improved and enlarged

Urynti' * Carping About Mllltrtrfum and
linpcrlalUin Hhowu to Ho Uimu-
right lriiiitoy.
Omnliu , Neb , , Sept. 17. In a stnt
like Nebraska , where the standard ot
Intelligence IH hljjh , it would nconi
unnecessary that anything should bu
said to disprove the assertions ot
IJryan and other fusion campaigners
cont'cniluR "militarism" and "Imper
ialism. "
In the first place , where is there a
Republican who favors militarism or
imperialism ?
In the second place , how can this
country have militarism or Imperial
ism without the people wanthiK It ?
The president could not do anything
to encourage It without an act of con
gress and 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 moro toward establishing this as
a fixed policy of the nation , without
the consent of a majority of llfteeu
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 live hundred thousand
of thorn to favor and 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 , la It not strange
that , if such a policy bo contemplated ,
not one of these favors it ? Does not
this of Itself prove that it is a cam
paign bugaboo , Intended to frighten
and fool the unsuspecting voter ? No
party dare no political party would be
so foolish as 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 battlefield
tle-field , where he 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
flrinly inoculated and rooted In the
minds and hearts of the American people
ple than they 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 1801 to 18i.r ( > that the
slave states had a right to withdraw
from the union , resist the constitution ,
do what would have destroyed the re
public and set up a 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 br men of the same political
party that now pretends to see danger
of militarism in the patriotic policy of
President MeKinloy. The Republican
party hns once saved the gallant old
ship of state from being driven hy a
rebellious Democracy against the rook
of treason. It rame to the rescue of
the nation at a time when Its guardian
ship was sorely needed. Tt saved the
nation from destruction. Ts It reason
able to assume that it would now turn
around and destroy what It ha for 10
year1 * contributed Its best genius and
statesmanship to develop ? Ts It ren-
sonnble to assume that William MP-
TClnloy , who wore the blue along with
Grant. Sherman. Sheridan and other
equally gallant soldiers , braving dis
ease , sickness and death to preserve
the nntlon from 'destruction , would
notv attempt to destroy It ?
Tn the third plnce. the regular armv
now is nnlv a mere handful of men.
Tn , 1ROO nnd for years prior thereto the
regular army numbered l5 ? . ? . Tn
ISO1 ? , two yenrs after MeKlnley wns
elected , the army numbered only 2fi-
700 , or was more than 2.000 less than
when the Democrats went out of
Delusive of volunteers , who
were engaged In the Spanish war and
who are now putting down Insurree-
tlon In the Philippines and murderous
riots In Plilnn. the retrular army now
number * ( Vi.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 bv this that today the
average In the FnUed States Is one sol
dier to every 1.154 Inhabitants.
TTo\v ridiculous then becomes the
eharee of mllltnrlsm and Imperialism
In the light of these faets ? One has
oiily to comnnro these figures with the
figures representing the armies of Im
perial countries and other nations of
The earth to determine the rldleulnu -
nes < 5 of It.
MJArrn STRTWnTTT COMPARED
Otllclul statistics show that Russhi
fins n standing army of 833,000 eol-
dlors , or nine soldiers to every 1,000
Inhabitants ; Set-many has r > SO,000 sol-
dlers , or lit soldiers to every 1,000 Inhabitants - *
habitants ; France hns r.12,000 soldiers , *
or 14 soldiers to every 1,000 Inhab
itants : Austria-Hungary has IJSO.OOO , or
ten soldiers to every 1,000 Inhabitants ;
Italy has : : o < M > nt > . or ten soldiers to
every 1,000 Inhabitants ; Great Britain
has 'JI'.O.OOO , or six to every 1,000 Inhab.
Hauls ; the republic of Switzerland ( a
republic , not an empire ) has l r ,000 ,
with only a.000,000 ; Spain has 100,000 ,
or six to every 1,000 Inhabitants ; Bel
gium has T 1,000. or eight to every 1,000
inhabitants : the United Slates by law
Is entitled to 05.000 , with a population
of 75,000,000. or , at the greatest , 0110
soldier to every 1.15-1 Inhabitants.
Thus 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 States , with a pop
ulation 25 times as great as that of the
republic of Switzerland , has an army
less than half as great.
OTH10R SIGNIFICANT FACTS.
Another significant fact Is that when
the army was reorganized a short tlmo
ago and there was a call for U5.000 vol
unteers the number that volunteered
was hi excess of 1,000,000. This not
alone attests the patriotism of the people
ple , but it should remove all fear or
thought of draft , conscription or com
pulsory military duty any citizen may
entertain.
Then , again , why Is it if IJryan and
his party honestly believe that there la
danger from militarism or Imperialism
that the fusionlsts or Democrats have
not disbanded thu militia in states
where they are in control ? Have not
the fusionlsts not only maintained thu
militia In Nebraska , but have they not
Increased thu numerical strength and L
expense of It ? Have they not done the #
same thing In many other states where
they are In power ?
Thu constitution makes the presi
dent the commander-ln-chiuf of the militia -
itia when it is called into actual serv
ice , and it would seem that if there bo
any sincerity In all this carping about
"militarism" some of it at least would
be directed against the militia , but
Bryan and his party have never had a
word to say on that score. Bryan In
no more consistent in tills than ho was
In 1SOO , 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 ho does not himself believe , lie
knows it is absolute nonsense. ITo
knows that this sort of talk is likely
to I'ool somebody and perhaps result
In a 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 preloaded
"anxiety. " It is such a ridiculous , silly
proposition that it Is unworthy of con
sideration or serious thought. There
was a time when Mr. Bryan might
have pursued this 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 looh
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 have
never before questioned his sincerity ,
who will quest ion It no\v. It Is ditlicult
for them to believe they can't believe
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 Poynter lias 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
the physician at the Soldiers' home has
paid his house rent and otllce rent In
groceries taken from the home. It has
been charged that the commandant of
the home has bought goods for his rel
atives , had them booked as groceries
and charged to the state. It has been
charged that lie 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 $25 ,
when the law explicitly says that ha
shall perform such service himself or
have It performed without expense to
the state. It Is charged that he has
sold property belonging to the state
without properly accounting for the
money received from the sale of said
property. It is charged that ho hart
pastured stock on state grounds , col
lected for the same and never ac
counted to the state for the money
thus collected.
At Grand Island the physician In
charge at the Soldiers' home has been
charged with selling liquor to Inmates
from the state's
dispensary without ac
counting for the money. Ho is charged
with Inebriety and with Ineompetency.
lie stands charged with having dissi

over required before was . 500 in 12
months. Tie Is charged with cruelty In
dealing with the liimates and with
neglect in providing relief for the af
flicted.
At the Institute for the FeebleMinded -
ed at Beatrice wholesale charges of
corruption are made and there Is every
reason to believe that the worst has
yet to be told.
-At South Bend the fish hatchery has
