The sugar trust appears to be a sort of Game Chadwick an all-around crook. As a barmonizer of democractic factions the dollar dinner at Kearney was not a glittering success. Some very "small potatoes" are frequently given big names. "Little Giant" Thompson for instance. Aa usual, the republicans of Dodge county have a candidate for congress. He is spoken of as an "orator and a banker. There are several bankers living in Fremont, but if there is an "orator" among them he moved there recently. The new stock yards senator from Illinois, who owes his election to the Roger Sullivan democrats,has enrolled himself as an Aldrich creature before taking his seat. There was no neces sity for such haste. It was under stood where he would land before the job to elect him was pulled off. Business men who patronize Uncle Sam's mail order printing house and Uncle Sam's parcel post department, cannot consistently find fault with those who buy goods of mail order houses in Chicago and favor a law that would make it possible to have the goods ordered sent by mail. The Lincoln Star asserts that on the first of July the state of Nebraska-will be out of debt, and will not owe a penny. And now the Star believes would be a good time for piling up another big debt The Lincoln paper says the salaries of officers should be increased, the state house rebuilt, the state university enlarged, etc., all of which the people of the capital city, of course, enthusiastically endorse. If the state has any money to squander, why, certainly, spend it at Lincoln run the state in debt and enhance the value of real estate in the various additions surrounding the town. What right have people living in other parts of the state to object to Lincoln hog ging everything in sight and then asking for more. In order to give Lincoln an opportunity to grow at public expense it is clearly the duty of Governor SWallenberger to call a special session of the legislature for the purpose of creating a state debt of two or three million dollars by increasing the salary of his office holders and building a new capitol building at Lincoln. saloon out of business in all but ten counties in the state, and then it would be an easy matter, after the wet terri tory had been restricted to ten coun ties, to pass a state wide prohibitory law banishing the open saloon from the state. By working for the first prop osition, he says, "every interest of the latter is being served as well." As a power for obtaining results, Harrison should not be ignored. He organized and carried to success the fight for the daylight law. .He had the ear of Governor Shallenberger after the leg islature passed the measure and did not release his hold until the executive had approved the. law by affixing his signature. It was Harrison who plan ned the gum shoe campaign against Sheldon among the prohibitionists which resulted in the election of Shal lenberger. Although Elmer Thomas received the doubtful honor for driving Sheldon into political oblivion, it was Harrison who was really the man be hind the guns. On June 19th delegates represent ing what is known .as the American 'Society of Equity met at Hastings for "the purpose of determining how, when, where, and for what price the grain in the pool shall be sold." The Society -of Equity is an organization conducted by several shrewd men with headquarters at Indianapolis, Indiana, who are attempting to form a trust The'claim is made by the leaders of the equity movement that the farmer does not receive enough for his grain and stock; that he is. robbed by the elevator men and packing houses, and charged, an enormous price for.articles he is compelled to buy. Is the state ment made by the men who assume to peak for .the farmers of Nebraska true? The prices farmers are receiv ing 'for their products refutes the charge, made by the men., who are attempting to farm the farmers and induce them to enroll as members of aa organization and contribute money to pay the traveling expenses and salaries of a few preachers of discon tent who aim to profit at the expense of the actual farmers. WHAT THE STATES OWE. It was during the administration of Andrew Jackson, in 1836, after the national debt hail been paid, that money commenced to accumulate in the national treasury, and when the surplus had reached $39,000,000, the twenty-six states, then composing the Union, looked with selfish eyes upon the money. The representatives in congress from these states demanded that the coin be divided among the several commonwealths according to their representation in the national halls of legislation. The representa tives contended that a surplus was dangerous; that the money actually belonged to the states under the States Rights idea as maintained by the dem ocratic party. Jackson, who has since become one of the saints of the demo cratic party, did not agree with con gress. He claimed that the money belonged to the general government, and called the attention of congress to the fact that the national government had paid off the state debts of the thirteen original states incurred for money advanced in maintaining and equipping soldiers during the War for Independence. Finally a compromise measure was passed which provided that the money apportioned to the states should be considered as a loan, to be returned on demand of the gen eral government. After $28,000,000 had been apportioned, the panic of 1837 struck the country and the re mainiug surplus in the national treas ury soon disappeared. In this emerg ency the national government was very much in need of funds, but the states never offered to return the money borrowed. New York slate received $4,000,000, and it is said that no record was ever made of the state receiving the money, although the state stands charged with that amount in the treasury department at Wash ington. At that time the democratic party in 'New York was controled by a band of public plunderers, and it was charged, at the time, that the money was divided among the politi cians in control of state affairs and was never paid into the state treasury. The New England states hooked onto about $5,000,000, Pennsylvania, Ohio and New Jersey $6,000,000, and the South ern states received nearly $12,000,000, the balance being divided among the other states. All of the $28,000,000, with the exception of $237,000, which was apportioned to Arkansas, was divided among states that are now clamoring for a high protective tariff on the plea that the government must have revenue to pay necessary expen ses. What would be our onininn of a dead beat who borrowed money of you and failed to retnrn it, coming for ward with the excuse that unless your taxes were increased money would not be available for paying him his salary. There are twenty-six states that bor rowed government money, and every one of them, with the exception of Arkansas, through one or both of their representatives in the senate, have voted to increase the cost of lumber, cotton and woolen goods, and iron and voted for the building of a railroad that had never been built, and when his attention was called to a little item of $955,000 which his state had bor rowed from the general government fifty-four yean previous, he replied that the debt had been outlawed and could not be collected. It was learned later that Hale held possession of the railway bonds voted' by the South Dakota county and that his attorneys, collected the amount due on them be fore South Dakota became a state. LEGALIZED BRIGANDAGE IN AMERICA, The WHERE THE TRUTH HURTS. There are persons who are well aware that they are tricksters and, cheats, but few of them like to hear themselves so described. To them there is much virtue in the supposed an cient doctrine, "the greater thV.truth the greater the libel." The Aldrich combine does not rel ish the frequent use of the terms "trickery" and "juggling" by the pro gressives in their speeches on the tar iff schedules. The rule of the august senate against personal allusions has been invoked by one of the enraged bourbons. The progressives mav have to employ circumlocution on the floor of the senate, but their constitu ents known of no reason why outside trickery should not be called trickery. The Aldrich combine should read the comments of the republican and inde pendent press on their daily perfor mances. Trickery is the mildest term applied to the methods whereby votes have been forced without information jokers inserted to deceive the unsophis ticated, increase palmed off as "modifi cations,' and greedy extortion disguis ed as protection needed to equalize diff erences in cost As to the solicitude of the Aldrich combiue regarding the political future of the insurgents, one does not know whether to laugh or swear at it. Is it Pickwickian or Pecksniffin? The pro gressives' names have already become household words-; they stand for honor intelligence, courage and loyalty to principal. Hie siauu-pattets are do ing their utmost to endanger the future of their party yet they profess to be anxious about the kind of explanations which the splendid and admired min ority of insurgents, who are endeavor ing to save the party and redeem its pledges, will offer to the people! Really, the bourbons cannot be as dull as they wish to appear. Is their affected stupidity-part of 'the trickery they do not like to hear about? It is they who will have a lot of ex plaining to do. Between the progres sive and the mass of consumers and reasonable manufacturers there is an excellent understanding which grows out of the plain facts of the situation. ChicagoRecord-Herald. MEANS INCREASED TAXATION When "reform" touches a man's pocket-book, there is usually a protest If the "touch' is made indirectly, there is less squirming than when made directly. Take the tariff the high protective tariff for instance, and the increased cost of goods to the' con sumer is an indirect tax which calls forth a protest mild in its character compared with the vigorous kick that would .be registered against a tax of ten cents an acre assessed against land to make up the deficiency in govern ment revenues which would be occas ioned by abolishing the internal tax on beer and whisky. The proposed extra tax on land of ten cents an acre would amount to more per acre than the total tax on an acre of real estate in Canada, according to a circular issued by a Canadian land company. The circular states: "The taxes on this land are less than ten cents an acre. with no, taxes whatever on personal ,. 1 ! . .. TT ... property anu live siock. until pro vision shall have been made to secure revenue by-some other form of taxa tion, the reforms demanded by extrem ists will not be considered seriously by many who are opposed to an increase in the bonded indebtedness of the country. The first reform absolutely necessary as a stepping stone to abolish protective tariff haa bailtupa ayateat of morale in this country that not oaljis wicked, bat it allowa to be done by authority of law what the man who does it would never do in bis private ca pacity aa a citizen. It pennlta a man not only to cover 'his neighbor's good, bat to take them away from him by force of law. From a recent peace by Mr. J. P. Deliver of Iowa in the United States Senate. Some people of the United States are a moral people. They have earned and attained this distinction through relatively high standards of life and conduct as individual!. The many exceptions to the-rale dq not destroy the fact that the average home life of the Americans, their average 'daily intercourse, their average vmaa agementof public institutions and their average code of individual principles are distinctly moral. It is true, then, that the same people, through their governments, national, state and muni cipal, not only countenance, but act ually indorse and voluntarily main tain certain standards of conduct that they would not for a moment think of applying to their family teachings, their neighborly relations or their business connections? It is true painfully true; and no one can pursue the subject intelligent ly without realizing that it is true. Take the example used by Senator Dolliver. Mr. Dolliyer is a republi can. He is a protectionist All he demands is that the system of protec tion be adjusted to its fundamental creed. That creed, mind you, may be faulty; many think it is faulty. But, at least, it is tolerable, even on moral grounds, whereas the expansion of the system, its practical working at this time in many instances, is utterly in compatible with "the common under standing of plain right and wrong. That creed, in a word.waa that a new industry in a new country should be protected until it could be naturalized; that is, until it could be made strong enough to compete with foreign rivals; until it could produce at home as cheap ly as rival products could be imported. In short, the idea was that the con sumers should pay for protection mere ly to the end that within a reasonable time they could buy domestic products as cheaply or more cheaply than they could import the same articles. As the creed also held that unless a protected industry, with in a reasonable time, gave the con sumers thii advantage of cheap home prodacta, the protection ahoald be re moved ia order that the masses should have tae-a4rutages of a cheap mar ket Oriciaal protection was defin ed to help the industry temporarily ia order tint the consumer might be kdp ed permanently . -But the system haa degenerated into a practice of helping the industry permanently and the con sumer never. The natural course of the true pro tective system would be for aa industry to demand leas and leas protection as it becomes stronger and stronger; but, oa the contrary, the more powerful aa iadoetry becomes, the more protection it demands aid usually receives. The enormous and unnatural riches accumulated by the protected trusts is a humiliating monument to the acquie scence of the American people in a system by which abnormal profits are extorted from the public. In many of its bearings this system, as now oper ated, is nothing less than legalized brigandage, the vicious extortion of tribute through the convenient agency of the purchase price. You do not see1 the highwayman behind the gun in person, but the system carries back to the unholy coffers of the men who con trol the makers of laws a large part of your hard earned money not in the form of legitimate profits alone, but also in the form of the vassal's tribute. And what is true of the protective system is often true of other legalized extortion. Men have one set of morals for their private lives and another set of morals in granting away the peo ple a rights for inadequate returns. Men have one set of morals in dealing with their business associates and another set of morals when represent ing the public iu transactions of far reaching consequence. Men have one set of morals when acting for an indi vidual client by whom they are retain ed and another set of morals when acting for the people. Men who would strike another if offered a bribe as an inducement to betray a neighbor will accept a bribe sometimes consciously, sometimes unconsciously to betray a city, a state or a nation' that has hon ored them with election to positions of power and responsibility. Is it not time, then, for the country so insist mat we snail have one stand ard of morality for both public and private life? Kansas City Star. ..

Since it is the province of congress men to waste a good deal of govern ment money, it is only uaiural that they should see that some of it is ex pended on themselves. Aud they do. Luxuriant aud needless buildings have heen built for their use in Washington, but these may serve a purpose when the nation has grown greater. Not so much can be said for the tours they take at government expense, however. The monetary commission tours Europe, to get ideas of European finance and to see the sights. So many expeditions have been sent from Washington to Pauama that the ditch might have been dug by congressional labor, were congressmen given to labor. The military committee will visit western forts this summer, to enjoy proving leisure hours, and every one an outing and the mountain scenery. The irrigation committee will fish along trout streams that are to be dammed to make the desert bloom. And ' the average congressman knows about as much about the matter in hand as a plowman knows about an airship, and helps them about as much in his travels as the tourist helps the pyramids.

A demand should be made upon the creditor states to pay back into the treasury the money, with iu terest added, they borrowed seventy five years ago. It is an obligation which cannot be justly repudiatedrand an amendment, or rider, to the Payne tariff bill would give New England and the South an opportunity to reject or repudiate their indebtedness to the general government Only one state, Maine, has ever openly repudiated its obligation. When Senator Hale, of Maine, objected to the admission of South Dakota into the Union twenty- one years ago, on the ground that the Women Advance a Step. A bill has been introduced in the British parliament to allow women to practice as law agents in Scotland. The question came up five years ago and was decided against women in the profession. Since that time the Scotch universities have thrown the doors of their law schools open ta women, 'and now several women trained as lawyers are waiting for permission to practice their profession.

When the dis trict In which we have 'built our fac tories becomes too crowded with workmen and the atmosphere too op pressive .with smoke and odors, we withdraw to some quiet suburban town and think little of others that must continue to live their lives In our service and In the environment we have created. Dr. M. Aurel Stein, In a lecture be fore the Royal Asiatic society, de scribed his recent explorations In western China and eastern Turkestan. He said that in the sandy desert northeast of Khotan the first ruin cleared was a relatively small dwelling covered with three or four feet of sand. In one room he came across specimen after specimen of ancient records and correspondence in the Italian language, and script, probably left behind 1,700 years ago as waste paper by an official. In another place he found seven feet below the surface curious sweeDinea of all sorts rags of silk, cotton and embroidery, fragments of bone, lac querware and a dozen small tablets Inscribed In Chinese characters of an exquisite penmanship. These tablets were apparently forwarding notes of consignments. He further discovered a small heap of corn In perfect preser vation and the mummified bodies of two mice. While clearing the refuse from a group of ruins he made a particularly rich haul of ancient documents. The documents, some of them three feet long, suggested that a great official had lived there. A rectangular docu ment proved to have the seal of the envelope unbroken. Inside .were closely packed layers of papers agreements which had been kept sealed so that In case of need their validity might be established. Montana is believed to possess three brothers with a history more remark able than has heretofore been knowa. The story Is vouched for by Col. Thomas C. Marshall of Missoula, Re publican national committeeman from Montana. "I believe," said CoL Marshall, "that the history of the brothers stands un precedented in the annals of Amer ican history. That they should be bora in the same house, and at the same lime, eacn born in a different state, seems incredulous, and all the more so when It Is stated that the house stands on its original site. "These brothers are named Wright, and are now residents of Missoula county, Montana. When the elder of these three brothers was born, that particular section of the county was in Oregon, as a portion of the Louis iana purchase. "Several years later a second boy was born to the Wright family, but in the meantime Idaho had been segre gated from the original territory, and therefore he was a antive of Idaho, and his elder brother was an Oregon-ian. "Again a son was born to Mr. and Mrs. Wright, but he was neither an Oregonian nor an Idahoan. but a Mon tanan, the treasure state having been sliced from Idaho in the meantime. Thus three brothers were born in the same house and each in a different state. "They are getting along in years, but the house still stands and la still occupied by the Wright family." .
