Ix a speech at Blair two years ago
Senator Allen said: "The American
navy through republican thievery and
misappropriation were no better than
egg shells." Senator Allen knew he
was stating a deliberate falsehood when
he said it. Subsequent events have de
monstrated that the American navy,
ship, for ship, is the best in the world.
Allen said that our armor plate was so
full of blow-holes it was no better pro
tection than wrapping paper. The sen
ator is just as full of false statements in
1896 as be was in 189& Tekamah Herald.

A large number of pop county treasurers

Nobody will charge that the pops would

a settled fact that no republican or

Nebraska has ever attempted to justify

The republican candidate for Float
representative for the counties of Platte
and Nance, was born in Sweden, August
12,-1853, and came with his parents to
this country in 1865, settling in Stark
county, Dlinois.
In 1871, he came to Nebraska locating
in Walker township, Platte county, on
the farm where he has ever since resided.
He has held various offices of a local
nature, among which may be named
justice of the peace for two terms, post
master of Looking Glass for twenty-two
years, and county supervisor for eight
years, in which latter offioe he baa be
come well acquainted with many citi
zens throughout the county, and also
has gained an insight into the needs of
the people with reference to the trans
action of coanty, township, school dis
trict and ether business of a public na
ture.
13o that, it is little wonder that the
delegates of his party, in convention at
Genoa, selected him' to make the race
against Editor Tanner of Fullerton.
;We do not believe there would be a
particle of doubt of the election of Nib
Olson, if he and Tanner could make the
canvass together over the district, and
republicans would give a pretty penny
if they could induce Mr.' Tanner to
make the race. Jim would find himself
away in the rear, because the great body
of the people would be with his oppon
ent. Mr. Olson's friends are hopeful of his
election, notwithstanding the fact that
the three political parties, so-called, are
supposed to be solid in support of Tan
ner. Olson is of the number of plain, hon
est common people, while Tanner is of
the most uncommon kind. Tanner
anderatands the newspaper business,
doubtless, but Olson knows what the
plain people oa the farms and in the
hops and stores want in the way of
9ff
n
ts I
state, conntv and townshin legislation.
and has had an opportunity of serving
the public in official station, ana pleas
ing them with the manner of his service.
A vote for Olson is a vote to sustain
aud strengthen the administration of
President McKinley.
FOR POLITICAL PURPOSES.
EaiplayeM of Seldif rw Hobm at Uraad lslaad
Bled by the tiaag.
The following appeared in dailies of
Tuesday of last week, and is a pretty
fair sample of the way things are being
conducted by the fusion forces these
times. The Baker mentioned was a for
mer resident of this city:
As a result of the imposing of an
assessment of 3 per cent on employes of
state institutions two employes of the
Soldiers' home in Grand Island have left
the service of the home. Edward Baker
and son, day and night engineer, res
pectively, have been in the service of the
home for several years. About a month
ago Commandant Wilson drew Mr.
Baker aside and told him about the
assessment of employes of the institu
tion, stating that it was expected that a
per cent of the yearly salary would be
paid by the employes for the popocratic
campaign fund. Mr. Baker states that
Mr. Wilson told him he would not be
discharged if he did not pay it, but
stated that it had to be paid and if he,
the commandant, did not pay his he
would certainly expect to hear from the
powers that be at Lincoln. One-half the
amount was taken out of the pay given
to Mr. Baker and son for September.
This payment, says Mr. Baker, was made
about the 1st of the present month. Mr.
Baker and son have receipts for $7.20
each, this being one-half the amount
they were to contribute, the other half
to be paid next month. Both engineers
received $480 per year, 3 per cent being
$14.40. A significant feature is the fact
that the receipts are dated September 21,
before the money was received by the
employes, and demonstrated quite con
clusively that no qnibbling on the part
of the employes was expected. The
receipt are signed by J. N. Gaffin, chair
man, and state that the amount named
was received for the campaign fund.
"If Commandant Wilson did not dis
charge you," was asked, Mwhy have yon
left the service of the home, Mr. Baker?"
"Because the commandant would not
furnish the help we needed," was Mr.
Baker's reply. "We have been needing
an extra man for about a month and he
would not furnish him. I think it was a
scheme to get us out, for we couldn't do
the work,"
"You and your son did the work alone,
one being day and the other night engi
neer?" "Yes, sir."
a "Do yon know whether they have that
extra man at the home now?"
"Yes, sir; I understand they have four
men now for our work."
Sapport tke PrtslrtrNt till the war in Ended.
CcnKreas ia unanimously supporting the Presi
dent at the outbreak of the war, expressed the
overwhelming views of the people of the entire
country. The elections this axtBth oogiit to
show all the rest of the world that the Americans
are not fiekie-minded and that they are still
supporting- the administration. The dilatory
tactics of the Spaniards ia the peaee conference
at Paris and ia the evacaatioa conference at
Havana are to be viewed with a good deal of
seriousness. It might prove very.aaf ortonate if
at this critical junctare the elections should
seem to torn against tha President and his
policy. "Algerism" as a public issae is not un
derstood in foreign parts, and if "Algerism"
should defeat the repablicaa party this fall the
result would be interpreted abroad as a condem
nation of the war and its larger results. This
would make the final settlement with Spain
considerably mora diCcnlt, for it would encour
age Ute Spanish diplomats to protract the nego
tiations still more tediously, while seeking- ia
every direction to draw other European coun
tries into the controversy. The term "Alger
ism" Is not hers need to convey reproach or
condemnation, for It is not our function to pass
judgment in advance of an opportunity to weigh
all the facts. Bat, lastly or aajastly, "Alger
ism" has been made aa issae ia politics. The
war will aot be completely ended until peace is
signed and declared; and the work bow in hand
by oar representatives at Paris is of critical im
portance. Walla aetaa) fighting was the order
of the day, the coaatry stood by the President
regardless of party. Bat It Is hardly less im
portant that this show of unanimity should be
maintained while negotiations an pending.
Oar commissioners at Paris seem to have been
managing oar case admirably thus far, and high
grounds of patriotism justify the loyal aphold-.
lag of Mr. McKialay's hands. His address at

Paris, Not. 1. The American peace
commissioners each carrying a port
folk) containing records and personal
memoranda left their headquarters in
the Continental hotel for the meeting
with the Spanish commissioners, at the
foreign offices, shortly before 2 o'clock
yesterday afternoon. The president of
the Spanish commission Senor Montero
Bioa, whose health at one time was so
precarious as to threaten an indefinite
adjournment of the sessions of the com
missions, had improved to the extent of
enabling him to attend the meeting. He
arrived at the foreign office in a closed
carriage with his coLeagues, shortly
after the Americans reached the meet
ing place.
Demand Translated.
The Spanish commissioners took their
aoenstiomed places at .the historic table.
Secretary Moore, upon the request of
Judge Jay, passed to Mr. Ferguson, tha
interpreter, the formulated demands of
the United States regarding the Philip
pines, which were read to the Spaniards
in their own tongue by a rapid' render
ing from the English, in which they
were written. Although the Spanish
commissioners did not betray anxiety,
their attention to the reading was keen.
They had anticipated that the' United;
States would take over the islands, but
the terms and details of the transfer,
had all along been a subject of -speculation.
Demand Philippines.
The reading disclosed the fact that
the United States government had de
termined to possess for itself certain
territory- and parts of land bounded by
and lying within such parallels of lati
tude and longitude as mark the limit?
of the Philippine archipelago. The
United States do not purpose assuming
the Philippine debt of $40,000,000,'. but
they are willing to be responsible to
Spain for a sum of money equal to the
actual expenditures by Spain in the
Philippines for the advantage of ths
islands and for the good of the people,
for permanent betterment and for im
provements, both physical and mental.
The reading of the presentment speci
fies that the United States will reim
burse Spain to the extent of her "pacific
expenditures" made in the archipelago.
This phrase, "pacific expenditures," is
employed to differentiate the expendi
tures by Spain in combatting insurrect
ions in the Philippines.
The one is felt by the American com
missioners to be a fair burden on the
acquiring power, while the other and
latter class of expenditures is held to
have been logically assumed by Spain
in the inevitable hazard to a nation' re
sorting to arms to enforce order in its
own territory.
Many Details Not Settled.
Such is the vital portion of the pre
sentment made by the American com
missioners and it is to be observed that
while the main propssition as to posses
sion and financial responsibility is clear
and definite, many details have been
left to the developments of tho discus
sion between the two commissions.
Thus while the Spaniards are quite, cer
tain that tho United States intend to
reimburse them for "pacific expendi
tures," they remark that they are not
enlightened as to whether the Ameri
cans expect to endorse tho Spanish ob
ligations to .the extent of "pacific' ex
penditures" in the archipelago, or
whether they will hand Spain a lnmp
sum of gold largo enough to cover
Spain's outlay so designated. Possibly
the American commissioners them
selves are not at this moment fully de
termined on this point. It is un
doubted, however, that the Americans
will not care to become identified in the
slightest degree with Spain in her re
gponsibility to her creditors. The
clearer method seems to be to hand to
Spain spot cash, or something as good
and to bid her apply it on her debts by
whatever name known, or to put it in
her wallet for whatever use she may
elect.
Da Not Admit Legality,
TheSpankh commissioners listened
attentively, though not without some
evidences of impatience and surprise at
the financial suggestions in the Ameri
can presentment, and finally asked un
til Friday to consult the Madrid gov
ernment and make reply.
Adjournment was then taken to that
day. After the conference was dis
solved the Spanish commissioners ex
pressed the opinion that the American
demand would create in Spain, as they
had upon her commissioners, an ex
ceedingly grave impression. Were the
8panish commissioners pushed to a final
determination last night they would
have rejected the American demands,
bat the changing tone of the Spanish
press recently urges the consummation of
m treaty of peace, however rigorous, the
argument being that although .the
Spaniards bow to the American de
mands, the commissioners do not ac
knowledge the justice or admit the le
gality of them.
Mara OaTered No Financial ladaemaats.
The Spanish commissioners' feel " that
. the United States to all intents and pur
poses, have not offered any financial
inducement to Spain to cede by treaty
anv part of the Philippines. Had the
American commissioners, even .offered
to take over the entire Philippine debt
of about $40,000,000 the Spaniards af
fect to feel that it would have beenjas
nothing, and they regard today's posi
Hon so meager as not to warrant even a
schedule of Spain's "pacific expendi
tures" in the archipelago.

ANTITRUST DECISION.
Supreme Court Finds Against
Joint Traffic Association.
LAW IS HELD 00I8TITUTI0IAL.
Taatlea Fackham Abboucm tha Deela-
iaa, Which to Ceacarrad Ia hjr Five
Jastlee, With Throe Dtaeeatlae; Coart
Decides Ia Favor off Kansae City Uv
Stack xehaaga.
The United States supreme court has
decided the Joint Traffic association
railroad case in favor of the United
States and against the railroads.
The case is considered one of the most
important that has ever come before the
supreme oourt, not only to the railroads,
but to the general public, because of the
vast railroad properties represented by
the traffic association. The association
was formed on Nov. 19, 1895, by 31 rail
ways, representing the great trunk lines
and their network of branches. The
purpose of the association, as stated in
the articles of agreement, was "to es
tablish and maintain reasonable and
just rates, fares and regulations on state
and interstate traffic." A similar asso
ciation, on a smaller scale, was formed
among southwestern roads, known as
the Transmigsomri association.
These associations were soon attacked
in the courts on the ground that they
Were in violation of tXa Sherman anti
trust law and also of the interstate com
merce law. The Transmissouri first
reached the United States ' supreme
court, where, in a notable opinion, the
court held that the association was il
legal, being in effect a combination in
'restraint of trade and commerce and in
violation of the antitrust law. Although
the Missouri case was considered some
what of a tost, yet the Joint Traffic asso
.ciation prepared to make a stubborn
contest in support of its existence. The
case against it was begun on Jan. 7,
1896, in the United States circuit court
for the southern district of New York,
the United States being complainant
and the attorney general directing its
course. The case went against the
government in the lower courts, the cir
cuit court dismissing the bill and the
court of appeals affirming the dismissal.
The government appealed to the United
States supreme court.
Justice Peckham announced the de
cision. He said the court could distin
guished no difference between this and
that of the Transmissouri case, decided
a year ago, which was decided against
the railroads. He said the only new
point involved was as to the constitu
tionality of the antitrust act. The court
had reached the conclusion that as rail
road corporations performed duties of a
semipublic character, it was within the
constitutional power of congress to reg
ulate them as provided by the antitrust
act.
The opinion, which was very brief,
was concurred in by Chief Justice
Fuller and Justices Harlan, Brewer,
Brown and Peckham. Three justices
dissented, namely, Gray, Shiras and
White. Justice McEenna took no part
in the case, as the prosecution of the
Joint Traffic association was begun
while he was attorney general. " After
Justice Peckham had announced the
opinion, Justice Harlan verbally ex
pressed, with some evidence of satisfac
tion, his concurrence on the same
ground, he said, as that set forth in the
Transmissouri case.
Under the decision today, the deci
sions of the United States circuit court
for the Southern district of New York
and of the United States court of ap
peals, both of which were favorable to
the Joint Traffic association, are re
versed. Justice Peckham also announced the
court's opinion in cases against the
KnwfflM City live Stock Exchange. The
government prosecuted under the anti
trust law. The supreme court holds
that the combination does not come
under the antitrust law. Justice Har
lan in a dissenting opinion declared
that such combinations were lings or
syndicates which, if extended to oil,
sugar, salt, lumber and other staples
would place the commerce of the coun
try under the control of a few rings
and syndicates.

they would have accepted help from
any country in their fight against
Spain. As the contest prbgessed the
Cubans in the field were gratified to
hear of solemn declaration by the United
States congress regarding thd intentions
of the American government and the
path it would follow in the Spanish
American war. The Americans came
to our help to compel Spain to relin
quish her sovereignty over Cuba in
order that the Cubans themselves might
be placed as promptly as possible in
possession of the island, might assume
the administration of its affairs and
have a government of their own.
"Therefore tha Cubans agreed toco
eperate with the Americans, to obey
orders of American generals, and help
in all possible ways to establish a Cu
ban government when the Americans
took possession. Though America did
not recognize the government of the
Cubans it was well understood that the
Cubans would not on that account
abandon their organization but that, on
the contrary, the time would come
when such recognition would be
granted. Indeed it was asserted to our
Cuban representatives by one of the
most distinguished members of the
United States government and also by
the members of the United States sen
ate, that in order to do away with any
obstacle that might hinder the United
States to go into the fight for the cause
of Cuban independence, recognition of
a Cuban government must come later.
"Nevertheless it has not been possi
ble to establish direct relations between
the Cuban and American governments
for the transaction of the public busi
ness. But we have now reached a time
when, even more than in the days of
fighting, it is incumbent upon all Cu
bans to show true patriotism and while
TPVitig every expression of gratitude to
America for having given Cuba freedom
and imdepemdence to make prompt ar
raBgesaents for paying off the Cubans
now in arias and for getting the corns
try into working order."

Many JotrasAii readers will remember
Judge Crites formerly of this oity. He ,
is now a prominent lawyer at Cbadron,
and was recently nominated by the
democracy for county attorney, but the
committee, over-influenced by the popu
lists, withdrew his name, in the "interest
of harmony." Mr. Crites thought the
manner of his taking off was rather
summary, and he didn't take kindly to
it, tnd so has something to say that
seems more or less applicable all over
the state, in spots. It voices the senti
ment of a host of Platte county's sturdy
democrats. Hear him:
'The democratic party cannot con
tinue to be a mere loiterer at the tables
of the populist Dives, accepting crnmbe
and kicks with equal equanimity. I am
not opposed to fusion, but I am opposed
to absorption. Fairness and justice are
quite as applicable to political as well aa
to o.her affairs, and had these principles
prevailed during tha lst four years yon
would now heboid a much different sen
timent among democrats all over the
Btate."

The art department of the Woman's
club began its second year's work on
Saturday. Mrs. Herriuk acted as loader
and hostess. The officers elected for
ensuing year wexc:
Miss Martha Turner, leader.
Miss Alice Watkics, secretary.
Much enthnsiasm was manifested and
an outline oV work adopted. In a quiet
way this department has dono much to
raise the standard of art in this commu
nity. Through them $20 were sent
.Prang & Co. for copies of Masterpieces,
some of which were purchased by the
school board and hung on the walls of
the school rooms. This seems to be a
step in the right direction as it brings
to hear upon children of all conditions,
brought up amid all Ports of surround
ings, the refining and elevating influences
of good art. Argua

Wm. Moore and wife called at Home
Farm, Sunday.
Monday and Tuesday of last week
were highwindy days.
Lost Creek in the low lands is nnusu
high for this time of year.
Raymond Haney moved into the N.'ck
Adamy place, near Reed's school house,
last week.
Rev. Rogers and wife of the Congre
gational church, Columbus, drove out
here Thursday.
Ten thousand sheen arrived Sunday
at the Knollin Ranche, where a large
quantity of hay, straw and grain are
provided for them.
We believe the time has come that
steps be taken to prevent the destruc
tion of culverts and small bridges on
the public higways.
Threshing in this neighborhood will
be finished this week, if weather per
mits. Good! This year has given us n
long siege of taking care of the grain.
In talking with many farmers about
the new corn crop, a majority of them
wish to get 2Cc. a bushel, claiming that
less than that will not leave them any
profit.
Will Ernst passed here Thursday with
35 head of cows, which he bought the
day before at O. Nelson's sale, and Mr.
Bowman of Schuyler also passed here
the same day, with his purchase at the
sale, consisting oi a nice bnncn oi calves,
which he was taking to his farm across
the river from Columbus.
Steam power for threshing has become
a necessity, and huge traction engines
are used for the purpose, wnicn travel
from place, to placo hauling a heavy
separator, tender etc., and when they
meet with a small bridge or culvert, the
breaking down of which would not do in
jury to their train.tbey make the attempt,
sometimes leaving the bridge a wreck.
Therefore we believe there should be
some authority who should say what
bridce or culvert should be crushed at
the expense of the township. It also
seems a good idea to us, it all new
bridges to be erected, be bnilt with the
weight of those monsters in view.
To Chicago and the East.
Passengers going east for business, will
naturally gravitate to Chicago as the
great commercial center. Passengers
re-visiting friends or relatives in the
eastern states always desire to "take in"
Chicago en route. All classes of passen
gers will find that tho "Short Line" of
the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Rail
way, via Omaha and Council Bluffs,
affords excellent facilities to reach their
destinations in a manner that will be
sure to give the utmost satisfaction.
A reference to the time tables will in
dicate the route to be chosen, and, by
asking any principal agent west of the
Missouri river for a ticket over the
Chicago, Council Bluffs & Omaha Short
Line of the Chicago, Milwaukee & St.
Paul Railway, you will be cheerfully
furnished with the proper passport via
Omaha and Chicago. Please note that
all or the "Short Line" trains arrive.in
Chicago in ample time to connect with
theexpresstrainsof all the great through
car lines to the principal eastern cities.
