-The aughty things that confront us
today must be atet from a standpoint
other than party, and the way the ques

the party in power thus far ought to be
approved by the American people.

great problems still waiting for a solu

populism has no future. During the
past five years since populism began to
make fusion allianoes I have witnessed
more schemes, more disreputable polit
ical tradiag, more low cunning among
fusion managers and more dishonesty
among fusion officials than I found dur
ing all the thirty years I was a republi
can. In another year the populist party
will be entirely gone. Alone today it
could not carry in a single state of the
nninn. It has aoncht to add strength
to itself by making all kinds of alliances
with other parties alien to it in princi
ple. It would fuse with democrats in
the north, and with republicans in the
south, and with socialists anywhere
with the natural result of receiving the
antagonism and contempt of all."
There are a goodly number of former
republicans who are of just this way of
thinking, and their numbers have been
increasing year by year.

Custom officers at Canton seized a
Chinese junk which had 2,000 rifies
and much ammunition aboard.
Count San Martino, the Italian Minis
ter of War, who was formerly the Italian
Minister to Chins, takes a gloomy view
of the Chinese situation in general, and
of affairs in Pekin in particular. He has
not the slightest doubt that the advance
of the allied forces on the capital will be
the signal for a general insurrection in
which the Yang Tee Vioeroys will have
to join. Count Martino says he has re
ceived from China the fullest proof of a
plot, organized by the mild young Em
peror, who is tired of his condition of
tutelage. It was arranged that he
should leave the palace at night, take
refuge in the British legation and there
hoist the imperial flag and proclaim the
oeposai or roe empress, on tne ground
of senile decay. This whole business
was to have been managed by the mili
tary governor of Tien Tain, who wss to
march on the capital. But at the last
moment the governor turned traitor and
the Empress, believing that all the lega
tions were concerned in the scheme,
commenced retaliation by patronizing
the Boxers, with the disastrous results
now known. Count Martino is confi
dent that this will be found to be the
true explanation of the whole business.
Unofficial reports believed to be re
liable aay that 16,000 allies heavily en
gaged Chinese, daylight Sunday last, at
Peit Sang, the first railroad station six
miles from Tien Tsin toward Pekin. Al
lied losses 1,200, chiefly Russians and
Japanese. Chinese retreating, with loss
estimated at 6,000.

THS STJLELT QUESTIOaT.
Anether flap Taken to Secure the
Xifhto of the Peep le.
August 2, in the absence of the judges
of the district court, County Judge Rob
ison granted a temporary injunction in
the case of Israel Gluck, William Bu
eher, James H. Galley, Jacob Greisen
and all others similarly situated, plain
tiffs, vs. Louis Held, mayor; and George
Lehman, Hans Elliott, E. J. Niewohner,
Clinton C. Gray, Albert Lutz and Louis
Phillipps, councilman of the city of Co
Iambus, defendants.
The remainder of the petition, after
this title, we condense. They allege
that:
The petitioners are electors, tax-payers
and property owners, and that they
bring this action in behalf of all other
electors and tax-payers, similarly situ
ated. Among the principal streets and alleys
in the business part of the city, and ded
icated to the public and held in trust
by the city for public use are Murray,
Quincy, Rickly and Speice streets, run
ning north and south; Eleventh-and
Twelfth streets running east and west,
and alleys in blocks Nos. 89, 90 and 95.
The Union Pacific railroad runs east and
west through the city between said
Eleventh and Twelfth streets in the
principal part of said city.
Murray street is one of the principal,
original streets of the city and has been
open and in use by the public as a
street, ever since the location of the
city, over its whole length and width,
excepting a small part thereof, between
Eleventh and Twelfth eud a portion of
this part has been occupied by the com
pany with its tracks.
Recently, in response to a general de
mand by the public, an ordinance passed
a first and second reading by the coun
cil, to open that part of Murray street,
between Eleventh and Twelfth, not
heretofore used by the public as a street,
and in support of said ordinance a ma
jority of the legal voters and tax-payers
petitioned the council for its passage,
and still request and demand the same,
and this ordinance is still pending be
fore the council.
At the instance of the Union Pacific
company and against the objections of a
large majority of electors and tax-payers
of the city, there has since been passed
and published by the council a pretend
ed ordinance, providing for the vacation
of that part, of Murray street and the
other streets and alleys referred to, in
favor of and for the exclusive use and
occupancy of the U. P. company, with
out any compensation therefor.
The company declares its intention to
be to locate a freight depot and other
paimuunt atruAtnros on annh "vacated",
part of Murray street, and to occupy it
for its exclusive use in handling and
transferring freight, storing cars, switch
ing, etc.
These streets, alleys, etc.; are valuable
property and are needed by the public
for street purposes, and if so wrongfully
disposed of will result in great and irre
parable loss to the city; and the closing
of Murray street, the erection and opera
tion of a freight depot thereon, together
with the necessary traffic incident there
to, will depreciate the value of over
$500,000 worth of taxable property of
the city without compensation, and to
the great damage of the plaintiffs, and
unless restrained, the city council will
fraudulently enforce said pretended or
dinance, vacate said streets and alleys
and surrender and convey the same to
the Union Pacific company, deprive the
public and these plaintiffs of their
rights thereto, squander and misappro
priate this valuable property belonging
to the city.
Plaintiffs became owners of certain
lots and property in said city along said
Eleventh street and adjacent to that
part of Murray street so proposed to be
vacated, upon the- faith and implied
promise that said Murray street would
be opened and maintained as a public
highway whenever the same should be
needed for public use, and have made
valuable and permanent improvements
upon said property and lots, relying
upon their right to the use of said Mur
ray street, and with a view of the same
being opened to travel whenever needed,
and plaintiffs are still owners of said
lota and properly.
That said part of Murray street is so
located with reference to the business
property on Eleventh that all property
values on the south side of railroad
tracks depend on the continuance and
development of the business interests
now located there, and that the perma
nent closing of Murray street crossing
as contemplated by the building of a
freight depot thereon, the transfer of all
switching necessary for handling of all
freight to this part of the city will make
the adjoining street crossings so peril
ous and so frequently blockaded that
there will not be a reasonably safe cross
ing left for three whole blocks in the
most frequented part of the city. The
handling, transferring and storing of in
flammable and explosive material in the
basinoos part of the city will jeopardize
the lives of the people and endanger all
property ia that vkhuty; endanger the
lives of children going to and from
school; hiader the prompt servioe of the
ire department ia responding to calls
that require crossing the track, aa well
as others on urgent and hasty business,
and frighten the teams of the general
public and by the inability of the city to
meet the demand for a convenient and
safe crossing of the railroad track in
this central part of the city.
The desirability of all property for
residence on the south aide of said
tracks will be greatly reduced; the busi
ness now naturally attracted thereto
will be diverted to 'other points of the
city more safely and more readily ac
cessible, to the 'breaking down of the
meat desirable and best improved part
of Eleventh street and impairing all
values on the said aide of the railroad
trad.

Boone County Figures.
Awriter in the Albion Argus (a pop
ulist paper), takes some figures from the
records of Boone county by which it is
made to appear that from January 1,
1893, to July 1, 1900, the "net increase
in mortgage indebtedness over decrease,
amounts to $1,278,883, or more than
two-thirds of the entire present assessed
valuation of the county." Of course,
these figures look to us to be pretty
largo and altogether in a line opposite
to Nebraska in general, which is show
ing a debt-paying ability beyond the
remembrance of the oldest settler. Onr
attention was called some time ago to
the fact that, not only in this, but in at
least some, if not all other, counties of
the state, the chattel mortgage record
in not a correct one, as it should be.
The reason why it is not correct is that
it does not show as cancelled, many an
indebtedness mat was paid years ago.
By the wny, there is a pretty stiff pen
alty for this neglect to fix the record, on
the part of those who held the security.
People generally look closely after their
land record, but have fallen into the
habit of neglecting the chattel; but not
withstanding this, wo notice that in
this Boone county "array of calamity"
for 1899, the chattel mortgages filed are
put down at $367,344, and the amount
released $243,366.

prices for their crops and the yield has
been large. Both of these are essential
to prosperity on the farm. More mort
gages and debts have been paid off.
more homes have been purchased, more
farm improvements have been made
and better times generally have pre
vailed in Nebraska the last four years,
than for any other four years in the
history of the state.

The Republican party claims, and
rightfully, too, the credit for prosperity.
It accomplished this in several ways,
the principal causes being in furnishing
employment to American labor at in
creased wages, and in building up and
extending American trade in foreign
countries. It is a matter of history that
under Democratic rule free soup houses
had to be maintained in nearly all the
large cities of the United States to alle
viate suffering and distress among the
working classes. Democratic policies
had closed the factories and workshops
and labor was sorely distressed through
want of employment. There are more
than 10,000,000 working people em
ployed in the workshops and factories
of this country. Many of these were
idle and those who were not were com
pelled to work at reduced wages. There
was, therefore,' a large demand on public
charity, the ultimate outcome of which
was the establishment in the large cities
of free soup houses.
McKinley's election and the conse
quent overthrow of Democratic policies
was followed by a complete transition.
The factories were opened, labor was
given employment at increased wages,
the soup houses were closed, and the
demand and consumption of farm pro
ducts and breadstuffs greatly increased.
Under Democracy a large per cent of
the laboring classes lived on free soup.
Under Republicanism laboring people
are living on meat, potatoes, canned
goods, breadstuffs, and in short, are
well supplied with all the necessaries of
life. Today 10,000,000 laboring people
on their way home from work stop and
order a pound or two of meat, a supply
of butter, eggs and other eatables,
whereas four years ago many of these
people boarded at free soup houses and
those who did not lived ou scanty ra
tions. This change has greatly in
creased the demand and consumption of
farm products, has increased the price
of farm products, and has contributed
largely to the prosperity of the farmers
of Nebraska and other agricultural
states.
.Under Republicanism new markets
have been opened up for the products
of American labor and of American
farms, with the inevitable result that
the foreign demand for American pro
ducts has in the last few years been
substantially increased. The increase
in the price of farm products and in the
wages of labor in protected industries
has in the last four years put into the
pockets of the producers of this country
upwards of $2,000,000,000, an amount
almost as large as the cost of the civil
war.
It makes a big difference to the farm,
era of the United States, in the way of
prices, whether the labor element con
sumes each day 20,000,000 pounds of
meat, 5,000.000 loaves of bread, 5,000,
000 pounds of butter, 3,000,000 bushels
of potatoes, '4,000,000 dozens of eggs,
and a corresponding volume of other
food products and that is what it is
doing today or whether it shall be fed
at free soup houses (as it was under
Democratic rule) and this vast demand
for farm products destroyed.
- It is for this reason that the Repub
lican parry claims the credit for making
the farmer and laborer prosperous, and
it is fortius reason that it looks to
them, with confiding faith in their in
telligence, judgment, and gratitude for
their support in the campaign, and at
the polls ia November.
Weald Dteheaor the nag.
Chairman Jones of the Democratic
national committee is out with
the bold announcement that: "If
Bryan ia elected his first official act
will be to recall the American soldiers
from the Philippines and leave those
Islands to care for themselves." Bryan,
with characteristic strategy, refused to
aonfirm or deny the statement of his
national chairman, but there is every
reason to believe that the statements
attributed to Chairman Jones distinctly
foreshadow that part of Mr. Bryan's
foreign policy in the event of his elec
tion aa president.
The blighting effect of such a policy
needs hardly to be pointed out. It
would disgrace the United States in the
eyes of all the civilized nations of the
world, for it would put this nation in
the attitude of deserting a post of duty
at a time and in a way that would re
flect selfishness, ingratitude, and in
ability to discharge the high obligations
imposed by enlightened civilization.
Such a policy would place the United
States in the role of coward and would
hold this nation no to the scorn, con
tempt and hamiliation of the world in
general.
All the world knows, and the people
of the United States know, though
Bryan and his advisers may not think
ao, that insurrection, not war. prevails
ia the Philippines. Roving bands of
bandits and savages, not armies, are
going about the' islands perpetrating
murder, robbery and other high crimes.
The world at large is holding the em
pire of China to blame for the cruel
murders aad outrages perpetrated by
the "Boxers." I
The United States holds the same po- l
aUiontotutt paspls-of the Philippine
islands, so far aa maintaining law and
order U concerned, aa the government.
of OIum to its people, and the murder
ous .Boners of Chhaa are to tholaw-abid-ug
people of China what Aguinaldo
and his followers are to the law-abiding,
peaceful populace of the Philippines.
The people of the Philippines may be
capable of self government, but contin
uous .strife and warfare have impover
ished these people, the islands are
preyed upon by roving bands of savages,
and it is beyond the ability of these peo
ple, without the aid of the United
States, to restore domestic tranquillity
or form government of their own.
The treaty of Paris, voted for by Sena
tor Allen of Nebraska and advocated at
that time by Bryan, placed the Philip
pines under control of the United States
and the United States is morally bound
to establish peace and domestic tranquil
lity in these islands at the earliest pos
sible moment. To call the troops home
while the people of the islands are still
being terrorized and shocked by the
wholesale commission of atrocious
crimes would be to commit a crime
against humanity and oue that would
forever remain a stigma on Americau
citizenship and patriotism.
Apart from the commercial import
ance of retaining the Philippines it is
the highest duty of the United States
to prosecute conquest until insurrec
tion, robbery and discord shall be sup
pressed and the safety of the lives and
property of the law-abiding people of
the islands established.
There are a large number of Ameri
cans, Germans, French. Scandinavians,
and people of other civilized nations in
the islands, besides a large namber of na
tives who are friendly to the American
people. Would Bryan withdraw the
troops and expose all these people to the
ravages of outlaws, murderers and
thieves? Would he withdraw the troops
and thus give Aguinaldo license to con
tinue his campaign of rapiuo aud mur
der? Bryan says Aguinaldo ia a pa
triot. There were people who said that
of Benedict Arnold, Aaron Burr and
Jefferson Davis. Patriots do not bar
ter and sell for money the confidence
and secrets of their country. They do
not conspire to rob and murder a people
who iu the interest of humanity alone
accepted that responsibility and that
duty which involves the sacrifice of life
and millions of money.
Aguinaldo a patriot! Perish the
thought. History recites that Aguin
aldo agreed with the Spanish govern
ment to betray bis deluded followers
upou the payment of 800,000. History
further recites that after having re
ceived and dissipated the mouey Aguin
aldo broke faith with Spain. He af
fected to pose as a friend to the United
States, but the diagnostic eye and per
ceptive mind of Admiral Dewey soon
discovered that he was playing false
and for the purpose of using the United
States to further his own interests. The
official messages on file at Washington
will show that at no time did Admiral
Dewey impose confidence in the good
faith of Aguinaldo. On the contrary,
Aguinaldo's deportment was such as to
cause Admiral Dewey to mistrust him
from the very start. And yet, with the
blood of American citizens on his hands
and with a record staiuud by atrocious
crimes, unexampled duplicity and per
fidy, Bryan would withdraw the troops
and place the Philippine islands at the
mercy of this monster of iniquity.

Reports concerning the management
of the various state iustitutions are cer
tainly uot intended to inspire publio
confidence in the integrity of the fus
ionists. It is the intention to carefully
investigate each oue of tnese institu
tions and give to the public an impar
tial recital of the condition of affairs as
found. In some of these institutions
already investigated a considerable
amount of fraud has been discovered, to
say nothing of the startling exhibitions
thereat presented of ignorance and iu
competency. From oneend of the state
to the other the Poynter administration
savors of incompetency, malfeasance,
profligacy and fraud. In several of the
institutions the laws of the state are at
this very time being openly and flag
rantly transgressed. The offenses range
all the way from maintaining incompe
tent persons in responsible positions to
the misappropriation of funds and open
raids on the treasury. Evidence has
been found of state property having
been sold and the money appropriated
to private use, and also of property hav
ing been bought with state funds for
private use. The exact condition of af
fairs obtaining at each of the various
institutions will from time to time be
given to the publio.
