OMAHA , Aug. 18. Nothing 1ms con
tributed more to the contamination of
the public service in the state govern
ment , and particularly in the manage
ment of state institutions , then the es
tablished practice of the fusion leaders
of compelling all persons on the pay
roll of the state to give up never less
than 8 and often 5 per cent of their sal
ary monthly for use as a corruption
fund.
That this is the fixed policy of the
fnsionists is fully established and
proven , both by statements made by
fusion officials , who have been com
pelled to contribute , and by the letter
of the "poultice" committee of the tri
umvirate to Superintendent Lang of the
institute at Beatrice , published in the
weekly newspapers of the state a week
or so ago.
There are few people , perhaps , who
fully realize what this means in dollars
and cents , say nothing of the evil re
sults attending it. The last legislature
appropriated for salaries and , wages
? 572,600. This , however , does not in
clude the appropriations for salaries or
wages at either the university or the
penitentiary. In this compilation these
two institutions are not included , be
cause it is assumed that with all the
rapacity and greed of the fusion leaders
the university would be spared and the
appropriation for the penitentiary is
merged with other funds in the audi
tor's report , thus making it impossible
to determine how much was appropri
ated for salaries and wages.
However , to determine how much
money is gathered in by the "poultice"
committee ( it is termed "poultice" be
cause it draws ) for use as a corruption
fund one has only to take 8 per cent or
5 per cent of the $572,600. the amount
appropriated , as all of it will be paid
out before the close of the year. On
the 8 per cent proposition the amount
realized by the committee is $17,178.
On the 5 per cent , it amounts to $28-
630. In either event the fund is large ,
and , taken with money received from
other sources , it runs the corruption
fund away up in figures. It is this
practice , more than any other one
thing , that has caused so much wrang
ling and discord at the various state in
stitutions and that has so severely
shaken these establishments.
Managed From Lincoln.
With the single exception of Gover
nor Poynter , no governor , not even
Silas A. Holcomb , ever attempted to
manage or direct the affairs of the pub
lic institutions throughout the state
from the capitol at Lincoln. Until
Poynter assumed the executive chair
the unvarying custom was to appoint
officials to manage the institutions , give
them full authority and hold them re
sponsible for the proper conduct of af
fairs. Experience had demonstrated
that this was the only way satisfactory
results could be attained.
Governor Poynter appointed the of
ficials , but he used the appointive power
and the public patronage to reward his
political supporters irrespective of their
fitness , with the result that in many
instances , he was compelled by reason
of the latter's incompetency to take a
hand in the management himself. In
no instance is the fruition of the
"double standard" more accurately and
elaborately depicted than in the man
agement of the state institutions. For ,
under Poynter , nearly every state insti
tution has had two heads ( the superin
tendent and Governor Poyuter ) and
often three , four and five.
After having appointed unfit persons
Governor Poynter frequently had to
intervene to help them out , so that at
no institution and at no time has the
management been free from interfer
ence from the executive department at
Lincoln. Being rather poorly qualified
himself to give advice , for Governor
Poynter has had absolutely no experi
ence in teaching the blind , caring for
the indigent , the insane , the feeble
minded and kindred wards , his inter
ference was more often attended by bad
than good results. It has frequently
been said that "too many cooks spoil
the broth. " Viewing results attained
at these institutions the logic of this de
duction can hardly be questioned. Gov
ernor Poyuter's policy of rewarding
politicians by appointment to office
without questioning their fitness has
been attended by deplorable results
has , in fact , crippled the management
of nearly every institution in the state.
A Fallen Prop hot.
It is an old adage that "a person's
Chickens come home to roost. " Mr.
Bryan should have thought of this ,
when four years ago he was predicting
all sorts of dire disaster in the event of
Republican victory. Like the fabled
chicken , Mr. Bryan's prophesies have
come home to roost , and , what makes
it embarrassing for him is that they
are roosting on the memory of a large
number of Nebraska voters , who were
deceived and fooled into following the
advice and believing in the predictions
of the "boy orator" iii 1896. It is said
of a Missouri Democrat who voted for
Cleveland and free wool in 1888 , wool
dropped so low in price that when he
1
commenced shearing his nheop the norf
year , he started in at the other dia
metrical extremity , being ashamed to
look the animal in the face. Mr. Bryan
finds himself in about the same predica
ment , but with Napoleonic fortitude ,
unlike the Missouri farmer , ho looks
the people in the face withoufc even
hinting nt an apology for imposing up
on their credulity. In no instance have
his prophesies proven prophetic. Every
prediction , every statement of his , has
been exploded has fallen flat. The
people of Nebraska never experienced
more prosperous times , but Bryan in
1896 told them a thousand times or
more that if McKiuley was elected mid
free silver defeated terrible distress
the hardest of hard times would fol
low.
Bryan told them that the purchasing
capacity of the dollar would double ,
and that the price of all farm products
and the wages of labor would fall cor
respondingly. Has this statement come
true ? Is there a farmer or laborer in
Nebraska who can say that Bryan's pre
dictions have been verified ? "Where is all
this distress Bryan talked about in
1896 ? "Why doesn't Bryan pull the drop
curtain aside and let the people see it ?
All that can be seen is prosperity. Can
Mr. Bryan exhibit any other photograph
and say that it is the correct one ?
Now then , if Mr. Bryan's reasoning
was fallacious in 1898 , why is it not to
day ? He is not parading the distress
which four years ago he said would fol
low the election of McKinley , because
proof of prosperity is too abundant.
He was dealing in futures then , and he
is dealing in futures now. Bryan's
predictions always deal with the far
future , so that if he is wrong , as he in
variably has been , he has time and op
portunity to realize on the benefits ac
cruing in the way of tooling the people
into voting for him before they find outer
or discover that they have been duped.
How many times have alleged prophets
prophesied torrestial destruction , and
duped and terrorized more or lebs pee
pie with their awful forebodings , and
how many times has the day of destruc
tion , fixed by them as the date upon
which the world was to be destroyed ,
come and passed without the slightest
ripple on the world's affairs ? False
prophets and vagaries are not confined
to craukdom alone.
Free silver was Bryan's "paramount"
and bugaboo in 1896. The people have
discovered that it was all a farce. This
time it is "militarism" and "imperial
ism. " Bryan sees in the dim mists of
the perspective and introspect the hag
gard ghost of "force" coming upon
earth to govern this country without
the consent of the governed.
This "prophesy" almost reaches the
summit of lunacy. It is an imposition
on popular intelligence , an insult to
sober reason , an illicit compromise be
tween wanton mendacity and shameful
demagogy. Bryan himself does not be
lieve it. To charge a party with mili
tarism that for 40 years has contributed
its best genius and statesmanship to
the achievement of peace without
military arbitrament ; to charge a
party with imperialism that for 40
years has met and repulsed every en
croachment on popular government
that has since its advent to power added
additional constitutional palladiums to
the individual rights of American citi
zenship is base ingratitude , withering
hypocrisy and shameful deception.
Militarism and Democracy.
It is a fact worthy of note that the
only exhibition of militarism in the last
quarter of a century in the history of
this country was made by a Democratic
president. That was during the labor
troubles in Chicago , when President
Cleveland , against the protests of Gov
ernor Altgeld and the mayor of Chicago ,
sent the troops into the state of Illinois
to put down local labor disturbances.
It will also be remembered that Mr.
Bryan , if history be not faulty , was at
that time a member of congress , but
neither in nor out of congress did Mr.
Bryan utter one word of protest against
the unprecedented act of the president.
If the Repnblicon policy has brought
prosperity and success , which it surely
has , how can the Bryan policy , which
is directly opposed to and intended to
destroy the Republican policy , bring
anything but the opposite of prosper
ity hard times ? It is safe philosophy
and it is so recognized in worldly af
fairs that a medicine that will kill will
not cure.
Disfranchising Voters.
lu the state election just held in North
Carolina the issue on the Democratic
side was the adoption of a constitutional
amendment which disfranchises the
negro. The Democrats carried the day ,
and the right of the negro to exercise
free suffrage in that state no longer ob
tains. In all 75,000 citizen-voters are
disfranchised.
In the face of this , Democrats all
over the land are demanding at the top
of their voices that the Filipinos be re
stored to full citizenship govern them
selves and therefore exercise free suf
frage while at the same time they take
away the right of free suffrage from
citizens of this country whose superior
ity as citizens over the Filipinos is ad
mitted by everybody competent to judge.
Is it any worse to govern uneduca
ted , uncivilized people without their
consent than it is to govern American
citizens , thoroughly in sympathy with
American laws , customs and institu
tions , without their consent ?
True , and .Democrats will no doubt
claim it , the restriction is contingent
on an educational test. If a negro
voter can repeat any section of the
constitution from memory when called
upon , he may vote. If not he cannot
vote.
This same test , and any one familiar
with the standard of intelligence in
the South must admit it , if applied to
the white population , would disfran
chise more than 80 per cent of that
element. The test , however , does not
apply to the white voters. This is con
sistency with a ring in its nose.
