PjAritISM VERSUS POLITICS
TheOinriha World Herald a short
tme ago remarked A republicans
idea of patriotism is To damn the dem
ocrat that enlists This is strong lan
guage and while we can scarcely en
dorse the remark we must confess that
it is very nearly a true one Ever
since Bryan was mentioned as a pos-
sibilityfor the colonency of the Third
Nebraska republican newspapers not
-only in this state but throughout the
nation have drawn upon their supply
of billingate and hj perbolical invec
tive in opposing him until it seems
that no foul words are left in their
vocabularv These wouldbe smart
Alecks have created more disturbance
a - -
and caused moie dissension among
patriotic citizens than any other class
of people in the country They have
claimed that such a proceeding as the
appointment of an inexperienced man
to a post of authority in the volunteer
service is unprecedented they have
said that none but democrats and pop
ulists will be admitted to his regiment
they have asserted that Bryan was de
feated for the captaincv of his own
company they have urged mothers
wives and sweethearts to adviie their
relatives and lovers to keep out of the
clutches of this tin soldier they
1iave used every means in their power
to down the peoples favorite and yet
lie stands head and shoulders above
them all Nor have they stopped at
traducing Bryan they have damned
every democrat and cussed McKinley
for appointing democrats to places of
power They have fumed and fretted
and made it hard for democrats to be
patriotic
For three months this paper has
kept quiet even against the protests
of its supporters and the advice of
friends to give em hell It ha3
acted as it thought an American news
paper stiou Id act and supported the
administration in its war policy right
Or wrong It has heard of scandals
in the war department in the state
department in the executive depart
ment yet has not protested because
it believed in allowing the powers that
be to work without hindrance It be
ifeved that patriotism dictated a policy
of silence when the fate of the nation
was at stake and placed patriotism
above politics and what has been its
reward Politicians have insulted it
and demagogues tried to down it
Republicans give it no credit and
populists pronounce it a friend of the
administration Patriotism seems to
be at a discount and politics at a pre
mium A democrat is a yellow dog
in any event if he stands up for his
party he is a traitor to his country
and if he stands up for his country
and shows not the mistakes of the
other fellows he is a traitor to his
party
- If there is ever to be a time wben
party lines should be dropped5 this is
that time What matters a mans
politics in war time Why should nisi
- political principles be either a help or
a hindrance to him if he is a capable
man Are not democrats - populists
and republicans alike Americans
- For Gods sake drop this political
puking and stand up for the
States xnis paper Deueves rna aic
Kinley is running the war wrong you
may believe Bryan should not be
given a commission as an officer but
if we are Americans we will first settle

Dissecting Table
Nobody can get a commission with
the Nebraska troops unless he is a
d- dpop or democrat said aproms
inet republican on our streets about
ten days ago
This is but a sample of the many
not only slurring but lying remarks
made by the enemies of Governor Hol
ering and the fusion parties of Neb-
i
faska The man who made the above
remark originally knew it was false
wjtene made it Heisa well post
ed politician and hejm6w that more
a majority e store than three
fourths of tha commissioned officers
In the First and Second Regiments
Nb VolS are republicans Not only
that but he knew that the three officers
of the Cnadron company are republi
cans because he is acquainted with
them It was a dirty mean remark
atidpassedf rom lip to lip until half
tile people in town believed it was true
Coming from S3high an authority
It wai a remark unworthy a man of
honor and a gentleman yet its origin-
atorclaims both these titles It was
occasioned by the report that Bryan
was to be made a colonel of the Third
Regiment and shows how badly our
honest opponents hate the champ
ion of the plain people He knew
that he could not hurt Bryan by a
direct assault so he attacked his
friend Governor ITolcomb who has
more ability and more pblitrcal honesty
in his little finger than this rfian has
in his whole body Cant get a com
mission unless youre a danihed pop
forsooth Wonder what J6hn Skir
ting of ONeill would say to that or
L D Richards who has authority to
raise a company at Fremont When
did A G Fisher of Chadron turn
pop or AI Domngton republican as
piraut for the Alliance land office
And the bullies in the school I
guess there will always be bullies in
all schools There were some mean
orres in tli kindergarten The boy
bully was always a coward of course
a bit of a snake as well cringing to
big boys and brutal to the little ones
In tne presence of the teacher he was
half crazed with teiror crying out
What have I to do with thee But
the weakpupil whom he could handle
he mauled without mercy It was his
nature to be brutal Rather than not
have anything to worry he would tor
ture a hog even though he had to
live with the auimal to gtjt at hlra

That is the right sort of informa
tion which comes from Washington to
the effect that if the steamship owners
persists iu their efforts to rob the gov
ernment in the terms exacted for
transports the vessels will be impress
ed It is about time to teach some
of these people- that a state of war
with a foreign power does not furnish
unlimited -license to domestic enemies
to prey upon us from within The
government ought to take at reason

might gain a livelihood for himself but we sup
posed he had no objections to other people
