Aftermath of the Fourth arnica and

Senator Allen will undoubtedly know better
next time.
The dummies In the council arc still danc

Daniel was a wise man In his day and
generation , but he did not pasture pigs with
Hascall.
The senate has at last done something.
We shall soon learn whether or not It lm.i
done the right thing at the right time.
Give the cnlf rope enough and he will
strangle himself while trying to reach the
crib. That 1ms no application , of course , to
Ike Wheeler and Dan Hascall.
Three reports on the senate sugar scandal
investigation will give the senators the de
sired opportunity to choose that one which
Is the least severe upon themsejvcs.
Russia proposes to take a hand In the
Japan-Korean controversy. If It were given
the proper encouragement the Russian boar
would probably end the matter by Itself ,
swallowing Korea.
"Legalized lawlessness" Is the latest
aphorism that has crept Into newspaper
English In the last few days. "Legalized
lawlessness" Is about as comprehensible as
"sensible nonsense. "
Prendorgast has again been sentenced to
bo hanged , this tlmo on Friday , and the 10th
of the month. If this Is not enough to
hoodoo him It must bo confessed that he
bears a charmed life.
Compare the senate tariff bill with the
pledges contained In the democratic plat
form and see how the democratic party keeps
Its word. As a tariff for revenue only the
new measure Is unique.
A very Indiscreet councilman made the re
mark In the mayor's office yesterday that the
Impeachment charges would never have been
filed If Bcmls had signed that $17,000 war
rant for Wiley. That councilman ought to
take out a license as a. mind reader.
The postmasters' brigade was out In full
force In the Michigan democratic state con
vention In splto of Postmaster General DIs-
8ell's express command for them to refrain
from appearing as delegates. Postmasters In
other states will probably disregard the
order with the same Impunity.
It Is remarkable how the school census
enumerators of Lincoln have this year dis
covered the 1,200 children of school ago
which their predecessors lost In 1S93. As
each of these foundlings gives an additional
claim In the distribution of the school fund
tUcro must be great rejoicing at the return
of the prodigals.

LOST
Tha populist ( onators have lost an op
portunity for building up their party which
is not likely over to preient Itself again. TO
every IntelilBont obnarver it must bo mani
fest that the democratic party Is ore the
verge of ! going to pieces. It has reached
the pwltlon occupied by the whig party after
It hml fttiBhl Us lust ttattto for the presi
dency. Tha opportunity to push tha old
wreck- over the pivclpico and gather up the
fragments cumo with tlio struggle * over the
Wilson Mill. Tha doCcat of that bill In the
senate wtmlil have been the finishing stroke.
There could have been no resurrection for a
party str. demoralized and disorganized as
would have been the dsurocracy after fnlluro
to patch up ths tariff and repeal thu Mc-
Kliiley lnw. It would have been4 a masterly
stroke on the part off the populists to throw
the democratic party and let It suffer the
consequences of Its own Imbecility. Such a
policy would naturally luivo met with favor
within the r.ink and fllo of populists , as it
would have placed It within their reach to
Inherit the kingdom lost by the dominant
party. Kvlchmtly this idea either did not
occur to tha populist senators from Ne
braska and South Dakota , or else they ex
pect that the democracy wilt voluntarily
nuilio an assignment of Its effects to the
third party without a struggle. la tills they
are destined to disillusion before they are
twelve months older. Democracy , wrecked
ami distracted as It Is. will not give up the
ghost without another dcsparato struggle ,
backed , ns It will be. by the claim that It
has fulfilled the pledge of tlio Chicago plat
form to the best of Its ability and In splto
of the Intervention of populists , rather than
with their aid and co-operation. The perfidy
of Iho democratic contingent In the
sonnle In dealing with Senator Allen should
have been an eye-opener , but oven that
flagrant breach of faith does not seem to
Imvc convinced the populist senators from
Nebraska and South Dakota that they were
throwing pearls before swine , to use a
rather coarse metaphor.
TIIK 1'llKSIDKXrS SALAlir TAXAULE.
In rejecting the amendment adopted In
the committee of the whole , exempting the
salaries of the president nnd Judges of the
federal courts from the operation of the
proposed Income tax , the senate has taken
the view that the constitutional prohibition
against reducing those salaries does not extend -
tend to the ordinary burdens of taxation.
This 1st a complete reversal of the theory
upon which the original amendment was
adopted. The language of the federal con
stitution is that "The president shall at
stated times receive for his services a com
pensation , which shall neither be Increased
nor diminished during the period for which
he shall have been elected. " The provision
regarding the compensation of federal Judges
Is Just as explicit with reference to the
diminution of their salaries , but Is silent
with reference to any increase that may
seem advisable to congress.
The point that wo have urged , particu
larly with reference to the president's sal
ary , is that if the constitutional prohibition
extends to the Imposition of an Income tax ,
then the statutory exemption would be en
tirely superfluous. On the other hand , if
the compensation Is not exempted by virtue
of the constitution , then the attempted stat
utory exemption would be unconstitutional ,
because It would practically amount to an
Increase of the same In direct violation of
the constitutional provision. The senate
then , In reversing its former decision , takes
the only logical course , leaving the point of
constitutional exemption of these salaries to
bo raised , If raised at all , by-the parties In
terested and before the regularly constituted
lourts.
,
The Importance- the senate's decision
w
lies In the fact that It Is a decision by a
aj
disinterested bcdy of men , most of whom are
sc
well versed In constitutional law and perfectly -
fectly competent to give an authoritative
opinion on the subject. The action of con
gress , while only a tentative determination ,
must have great weight for another serious
reason. Should the- question come before the
federal courts for adjudication the judges
se
will find themselves in the delicate position
to
of hearing a casa In which each of them is
It
directly Interested. They will bo really de-
elding whether they themselves shall bo pr
exempt from federal taxation. In such a be
situation they will be prone to defer to the th
judgment of the legislative- branch of the gc
government , or , at any rate , will hesitate ag
to take a view directly opposite to that of th
congress. As a result of this peculiar aspect tonc
of the case the Issue may never bo raised' nc
before the courts and the determination of fo
the senate may secure the force of a final tr
decision of the question. an

The Internal revenue schedule ot the new wl
tariff bill promises to enrich the Whisky do
trust to nn extent oven greater than the en
profits which the Sugar trust hopes to reap thmi
from Its differential duty on refined sugar. mi
Against | the sugar schedule a fierce onslaught thwe ;
has been made in the press and In the sen we ,
ate , which has opened the eyes ot the people th'
ple to the enormity of the trust's demands ha :
and : which has forced the scnato to > try to en :
clear Its skirts of the mess of corruption by sa
means ot a committee to Inquire Into the Im
charges ot corruption made in connection CO :
ivlth the matter. The Incrensod tax on dis COl :
tilled spirits and the prolonged bonding to
period , however , have been Incorporated Into poi
the tariff bill with but little protest and so
liilotly that the public has not had Us atten
tion directed to the fact.
Every changa proposed by the senate bill
the existing Internal revenue tax Is In
bo
Interest of the Whisky trust and there
tn
several such changes. The tax on dls- dc
tllU-d spirits Is raised from 00 cents a gal
ills
to J1.10 a gallon an Increase of 20 cents.
as
rhls Increase Is , of course , to bo tacked on
, ) r
the price at which the product is sold , so
til' ;
that In no case will It bear upon tha trust.
cu
the same time , all the whisky now in hi !
bond and all that can bo produced between ha
this time and the tlmo when the new law
gr
sees into effect can be brought through at
qu
existing rate of taxation and sold at
P °
advance of 20 cents. The gain from this bo
operation has bean estimated as high as po
fS.000,000 and must
certainly mount Into tin
millions. Then thera Is an allowance
to
leakage under tha now bill that is not tin
made by the existing law , by which the tax tin
to bo paid In tin * future'upon the quantity ele
taken out of bond Instwid of upon the quan 1
put Into bond. The saving llgureu up a me
considerable amount In fact makes the now bci
really less burdensome to tha distiller US !
than the old , and less productive of revenue tin
the government , although imposed at a otl
higher rate. The- extension of the bonded of
period to eight years likewise Inures to the poi
benefit of the trust by giving It tlio use of to
money until the lime
when tbo whisky pCI
ready for tha consumer. The
government lot
stores the whisky three years longer , for 1
which , deducting leakage. It gets only a ind
nominal murn. If any return at all , while utl
owuer la divested ol all care or ox- thi
ense on account of it
during that time ,
this U a privilege for which he would pay ho
tlio government llbarall ? It It could ba ob
tained In no otlicr war , but thla bill glrei U
tn him Tor the asking.
These advantages are already being quietly
turned to account by'nlt street manipula
tors , who hope to share In the profits of a
rise In Whisky trust stock. They fear to do
anything that wilt arouse tha public , nnd'
therefore the stock has , been hchl In reserve.
According to a Wall street authority. Its
friends say that It Is not desired that thera
Hlmll he any advance for sonic time to come
nml that as soon as tariff matters- have been
settled the stock will bo ready for an old-
frtshloned , rise ? . The same authority states
that the fcennto In Its tariff schedules has
done for the trust moro Ulan Wall street
anticipated. It has been conclusively proved
that what the senate did for the Sugar trust
was In return fora consideration-pahl In advance
vanceLi It reasonable to believe that the
whisky men have bten able to get their
huge concessions by any less devious
method ? If the Sugar trust had to pay for
Its favors , why not also the Whisky trust ?
The discrimination In favor of the one is no
less a scandal than that In favor of the
other.
1UB SnA'ATK TAHIFV UILL.
The thorough discipline of the senate dem
ocrats was shown In the final vote on the
tariff bill , which for three months had been
under consideration in that body. Every
democrat except Senator Hill gave his sup
port to this remarkable measure. The New
York senator , having the courage of his
convictions , cast hla vote against the bill ,
proclaiming to the last his protest against
tlie income tax proposition and characterizing
the bill as a "botched compromise measure , "
acceptable to no one , and which surrenders
or barters away democratic principles.
Never before In our history has the platform"
declaration of a party been so completely
stultified by representatives of the party In
congress as has been done by the democrats
of the senateIn this tariff bill. Never be
fore has a revenue measure been passed by
either branch of congress which contained
so many Inconsistencies , contradictions and
absurdities as this one. Novcr before has a tar
iff bill gene through the. house or the senate
with such scandal hanging about It as this
measure ' carries. What shall the bill be
called which Is part protection , part free
trade ; which takes care of the most exact
ing monopoly In the. country , the Sugar
trust , while It proposes to strike down the
wool Industry that employs hundreds of
millions of capital and a vast army of labor ;
which opens the American market to the
agricultural producers of Canada and asks
nothing In return for this great boon to the
competitors of American farmers ; and which ,
to gratify the spirit of sectionalism , Imposes
an income tax , nearly all of which will bo
collected from the people of the north ?
Surely no such monstrosity In the form of
revenue legislation has ever before been at
tempted In this country. It cannot fairly be
called a compromise , for that term carries
the idea of an equitable arrangement , and no
one will pretend that any principle of equity
has been observed in the framing of this
measure.
The question now is , what will the house
do with it ? There have been numerous ex-
diPI s
prcsslons of opposition to some features of
PItl °
the bill , and particularly to the sugar schedule -
ule ! , from democratic representatives. It is
c
reported that Chairman. Wilson of the ways .
reai
and means committee will antagonize the
aisi
sugar schedule as It now stands and that ho
siw
will have many of the house democrats with
him. It Is also said that the house will de
mand that coal and iron.ore be put on the
free list , and a prominent member of the
ways and means committee Is quoted as giv
ing the opinion that the democratic senators
will be willing to trade oft coal and iron ore
and other things In behalf of the sugar
schedule , so that It may turn out that the
Sugar trust will got what it wants and that "
some of the industries , like coal and iron ! ?
ore , will be sacrificed for the benefit of the
monopoly. There Is not much doubt that
some concessions will have to be made to
the house on. the bill as It has passed the
senate , but the feeling that it is necessary
get through some bill and the desire that
S
shall pass as early as possible makes It
v
probable that the house will show less back feat
bone In opposing the senate amendments atb
than would have been the case bad the bill It
gone back to the house a month or more ol ft
ago. Democrats who want to get among
their constituents as soon as possible in order
look after their political interests will
not be disposed to make
a prolonged fight ni
-concessions. . The deslro of the administration oltti
tti
tration is also to bo taken Into account as ttias
important Influence , and It is the understanding e
sa
standing that Mr. Cleveland has been dls th
pleased ' with the delay In the senate and th
ivlalics the bill passed with as little further Ikgc
lolay as possible. That the "president Is not si
su
entirely satisfied with the senate measure
there is good reason to believe , but In com
mon with his party ho feels the necessity for
ho passage of. some sort of a tariff bill and oh
vould doubtless accept the one passed by in
lie
.he ' senate rather than run the risk of not
po
mving any tariff bill passed by this demo- CO
fri
ratlc congress. It Is undoubtedly entirely
pe
safe ! to say that with a few minor and un- be
po
mportant changes the senate bill will be- ut
oino I law , so that the industries of the eu
ce
ountry can make no mistake In preparing tope ;
adjust themselves to the conditions im- pom
losed by that measure. th ;

murdered president and desired to show me
th !
last homage of friendship. Although In

j republic. Ho has attained that and ho an
nounces to his countrymen that he wilt bo

The new president ot Franco probably has
a more trying and perplexing task before
bun than now appears. There Is evidence
of an undercurrent ot political and social
nnrest and discontent which may become
troublesome In the not far future. Dut there
seems- every reason to bellevo that President
Perler will be found equal to every demand
upon him and that , so far as courage and
patriotism are concarned , the republic could
not have a safer head.
The appointment by the senate of a con
ference committee on the tariff bill before
the amended bill had reached the house
Is a most extraordinary departure from par
liamentary usage. Such a thing as appoint
ing a conference committee before the other
house has had a chance to concur or dissent Is
without precedent In legislation either In this
or any other country. The senate bill
passed after the house had been adjourned
from Tuesday to Thursday. The house could
not concur or refuse to concur In the senate
amendments to the Wilson bill until It had
an opportunity to hear them read. In alt
legislative bodies the motion to appoint a
committee of conference Is only entertained
after the house has voted to disagree to
amendments ottered by the other houso.
How any legislative body could assume In
advance that the co-ordinate house would
reject Its amendments to a bill is Inexpllc-
able on any theory that can bo advanced.
With the same propriety either or both
housoa of congress could put a bill on Us
passage over an expected veto before the
bill had been presented to the president for
his approval.
The contest over the election of a sue-
cessor to President Caslmlr-Perlor today ,
who has been promoted from the position
of president of the Chamber of Deputies ,
will be considerably more animated than
that over the election of the French presi-
dent last week The presiding officer in the
Deputies has ajn lnmiense Influence over the
conduct of leglsfatlon. In that body , and
stands second only to the premier himself.
It ( Is a position greatly coveted by ambitious
Frenchmen , and ! moreover the great number
of ' political parties'represented { In the lower
house ' of the French legislature makes pos
sible a host of Jpomblnatlons. The president
of the Chambetf ofjJJeputles Is generally of
the same party as the ministry , simply be
cause both require the same majority to
keep them In flo'tier1. On this account the
ministry may be expected to hove the decisive
.

nn undercurrent favorable to the re-
nomlnatloti of Governor Crounso , nnd It Is
conlMontly predicted that the governor's
name will be presented to the state conven
tion.
Sidney Telegraph : Nebraska republicans
have learned a great deal from recent ex
perience , nnd the nin It and fllo are now
fortHlc-d against attack upon the old party.
They now see that desired reforms are easier
accomplished within n party's strength than
through a party's disintegration.
Nebraska City Press : Mischief makers
arc going about among republicans attemptIng -
Ing to stir up strife and discord by preparing
"slates" after their own fancy. Lincoln ,
which Is the hotbed ot factional trouble In
Nebraska , Is already the scene at much of
this pernicious activity , and we must pre
pare to regard suspiciously all reports which
come from there.
Aurora Sun : Hatty of Hastings was al
ternately cheered and hissed at the Omaha
sliver convention when he took the plat
form lo acknowledge his perfidy to Bryan
at the last state convention and pledge him
self to stand by the free silver plank to bo
adopted here. Men that will perform the
diabolical acts he did as chairman of the
hist state convention at Omaha are not en
titled to bo associated with honest men In
any political movement.
Norfolk News : Two of the leading pop
ulist papers In the Third district have conic
out openly and are advocating the nomina
tion of a democrat for congrct.3 by the pop
ulist convention. This does not appear to
sot very well on the political stomachs of
the "middle-of-the-road" and "kcep-off-the
grass" editors , and If the schemers succeed
In defeating the will of the party when the
convention meets there will bo a howl going
up for another convention.
Kearney Hub : Out sldo of Jack MncColl's
attractive personality and a wide-spread
cordial feeling toward him , there Is a general
sentiment l among republicans that he Is a
safe , reliable , careful man , who will make no
mistakes , who can be trusted In the fullest
sense ii ii , and who will not forgot that he Is a
republican i should he bo elected governor.
There are men more brilliant , moro eloquent.
more i conspicuous In the public eye , but re
publicans i turn to MacColl with a confidence
that t he strikes the calm level ot business ,
social and political Integrity , and that ho
will have no considerations except the In
terests of the state If chosen for the gov
ernorship.
Wahoo Wasp : There ought to bo this
thought uppermost In the minds of every
delegate to the state convention : The candi
dates nominated should bo men of good
standing among the whole people , men
whose character and official record will need
no defense and whose integrity cannot bo
questioned. If these rules are strictly ad
hered to in all the nominations It will relieve -
lieve 1 the press of the party and those who
1t
go forth to labor for the ticket of much
hard work , and perhaps unsuccessful bicker
ing , to meet the statements , slanderous or
J1o
otherwise , which come up in every cam
paign. This Is not the year when repub
licans 1 wish to be on the defensive , but on
the aggressive side of every movement. Re
publican principles defend themselves this
year. Let us have candidates of the same
quality and the victory shall be ours by the
largest majority In the history of the state.
David City Press : The Monday , Issue of
The Dee contained two and a half columns
ot million typo Interviews of disgruntled
democratic gold bugs. These disgusted poli
ticians ! whom The Dee delights to honor
and parade before the public all have It
ah ah for Bryan. Everything Is attributed to
him. Let us say right here , that the people
are so thoroughly aroused , that , with all
his eloquence , they would brush Dryan aside
as easy as a mosquito , should ho depart from
tiC straight and narrow way. * * A
careful ! perusal of the arguments and mo
tives of the men The Dee mentions IB both
tlai
amusing and Instructive. The first men
tioned Is N. C. Harwood , a banker , who
says hundreds of the business men will de
sert | the party rather than accept the views
of the silver men. Now , what great loss
would that be ? The party has never
amounted to anything with them In It , and
It will cut no sorrier figure should they leave a
It . A. J. Sawyer , the other famous Lincoln
protestor named in The Bee galaxy of demo
cratic saints , poses as a stage embellish
ment in all state conventions , but never
succeeds In going as a delgate. He has
bank ; interests and is United States district
attorney. His opinions carry great weight-
the mind'of Mr. Sawyer. When The Dee tn
gets into Omaha It strikes a regular old tlcr
bouquet of petrified daisies In the shape of crHi
stage ornamentation. It presents a hand Hicc
some list of silk-stocking gentry , who have ccbi
kept aloof from the world's mad strife and biai
enjoyed the wlld-oyod admiration of the aim
piimpkln-huskers In the years gone by. Better aial
al
ter pack those wormy old chestnuts away In alTi
salt , Mr. Rosewater. Fossils may do to en Tiat
tertain geologists , but not the people. The atpt
now democratic de'claratlon of Independence ptnc
was signed at Omaha , and with a bold
challenge attached to It ; therefore , rattling nc
the dry bones of these old antediluvians is th

Not Ho Neglected ,
OAKLAND , Neb. , July 4. Oakland cele
brated the great national holiday much the
same as hundreds of other towns through
out the land. There was a largo crowd In
attendance. Judge Ambrose of Omaha de
livered the principal address , which was
highly appreciated. Following Is In part
his address :
On the morning after the assassination
of 1'resldent Lincoln. April II , IMG , James
A. Oarllcld WIIH In the city of New \ork
and WUM awakened by the news of the
terrible deed of the night. He wandered
out upon the streeta. Hills were early
posted for a meeting In Wall nit eel at 3
o'clock. Kitty thousand men were In the
sttcets. It was not a holiday , tint busi
ness wa suspended. Th wnr-heatcd
blood of that city was frozen with horror
and the people were waiting for more news.
The musa w.is crazed , tuilmlent , ready for
any deed of violence. All at once , as If
by muglc. the cry went np , "Thuorld. . "
Anarchy , demniellon of life nnd property
was In that word. The mob meant punish
ment for the nntl-unlon sentiment of that
ereut dally newsiwipur. Garlleld appeared
upon a balcony. Tlie great suothlng mass
recognized his commanding form and
waited for an announcement of news. His
clarion voice wiia hwnil f.ir and wide as
ho said : "Clouds , mid datkness nivund
about him ! Ills pavilion In dnilc waters
and thick clouds his sklea ! Justice nnd
Judgment are the establishment of his
thruiifl Merey and truth should go before
his fncel God reigns and the government
at Washington still lives. " Thu almost
agonized crowd was first startled and then
H tilled .at his words. The unrest and
vengeful spirits of the people were quieted.
New York city was saved. The patriotic
blood not onlv of Wall street , but of the
whole country waa stirred. New lines of
thought stnited and the whole people took
up anew the struggle to piesorve the
heart h stones of the common patriotic
fireside. Sa today I quote the words :
"God reigns and the government at Wash
ington still lives , " but 1 supplement the
expression with the question , not for how
long , but what shall we do to- preserve
that government ? "The woild will little
note nor long remember" what we do here
today I , but nevertheless my duty Is done ,
If I can be the means of Impressing some
thought Into some mind' from which may
be evolved in some measure an answer to
the question , and I shall have done much
to aid in the formation of a better , higher
and holler citizenship than now exists.
The elder Adauls when ho laid down , at
the time of the adoption of the Declara
tion of Independence , the mode and
manner of the celebration of this day , by
the firing of guns tind the tinging of bells ,
little thought of what would be the growth
of this country duilng the 125 years next
following that memorable event ; but he ,
ns well ns all the founders ot the govern
ment , were men of thought , as well as
action ; and 'with the thought that
pyrotechnics nnd glad songs of praise
would for all time acclaim this day , they
kenw that with the rejoicing would come
Ihoughts , deep and earnest , of what steps
were necessary , If any , to be taken to
preserve what they had so dearly pur
chased for our Inheritance. If the ciops
fall one year they always come with In
creasing bounteousness the next. Not so
with governmental affairs. If this free and
God-venerating government falls from any
cause the like will never return to the
people of this earth. No merchant or other
business can long be sustained unless at
stated periods It Is looked over * and an
Inventory taken * to see where have been
the mistakes of the year past. So for the
whole mass and body of the people It is not
only fitting but necessaVy that they should
get together nnd take an account of
patriotism. For that purpose we are here
today.
ANARCHISM AND CAPITALISM.C
Prior to 1SCO the conditions which now
thi eaten us as a people did not exist.
During the war the Hood gates of Im
migration were wide open , the paupers
and criminal classes of Kurope were wel
comed , provided they enllaled. They came
In droves. Prison doors In this countiy
were opened. Thus this clement was
spewed out upon the land the only condi
tion being that they Join the army of the
north. They did this , attracted by the
large bounty. None of them made good
soldiers such is the history of war but
they became deserters , going to other
parts of the country and re-enllstlng for
another bounty. They not only did not I
make good soldiers , but they never made
good citizens. Out of that class has grown
our anarchists and communists , and today
the spirit of this class of people Is rampant
In the land. Only a few days since a
professor of a college In a sister state had
the audacity to deliver an address to the
young men of our state university , by
means of which he sought to Inculcate In
their minds the Ideas of communism. He
calls himself a collectlvlst that Is , he be
lieves that all property should be owned
collectively. The world may perhaps be
brought to this Idea , but never until nil
men and women have the grace of ungcls
and the energy of the devil. These com
mune hordes teaching these doctrines are
always looking for a soft Job and big nay.
They would be the last ones to do an equal
amount of work and receive the equal
pay of the collective mass. Such men are
not good American citizens.
Another condition which now exists did
not exist prior to 1SCO : The necessities of
the Government and the consequent specu to
lation laid the foundation for the great
fortunes which now dominate and control
the financial affairs of the country. The
power which great wealth gives rules and In
controls all avenues of trade , of fieight
and passenger rates , controls the
law-making power of the country ,
tind rules In fact the whole land.
\nd this avarice tor great wealth has
made possible and In a large degree brought
ibout the terrible Industrial condition In
which we are today. You men up here , lu
four peaceful homes , and amid your quiet .
ivocatlons , do not realize these conditions
so much of their dire effects ns do
hose who live In the great cities , who :
jvery day are brought In direct conlllct :
vlth not only the conditions brought upon n
by the greed of criminally acquired
vealth , hut also the conditions brought upon
by the unrestricted Importation of the > f
aupcr nnd criminal class of Europe.

\ their money was exhausted and per

aper published In the metropolis of this

ust , to openly and shamefacedly testify

ust ! , In Its contribution for political pur
ges , contributes to the majority , us it
; be , democratic , republican or populist.
In thus that ho contributes from out of
! great store to political xuccesn. How
must the American people endure this
of thing ? How long will they permit
men who represent them to nit check

ushlng corruption ? When will there bu a
awakening of that stern , moral HCIIHO
banishes from public honor and public

IB not a democracy where laws are enacted
at mass mpotlmts niul gatherings of tin
public on the public xquaros , but It la a
representative government , one In which
the representative * elected fiom the body
of.the people net for the people.
The right of petition Is Insured to tin
body of the people by the very eloniont *
which go to make np the government Itself ,
but these petition ! * can onlv bo heard
through the people's representatives upon
the lloor of congress-No citizen IUIH n con.
stltntlonal right to present his petition In
person. Such mi Idea Is a grave mistake.
If any such constitutional right existed
It would ho within the power of u dlssatls-
Hod political party to obstruct , at their
pleasure. the IcKlslatlon of congress , by Its
members appearing In reat numbers for
the purpose under the pretense of exercis
ing their constitutional right to petition.
And the result would be such civic demon-
Htratlons that the % > ry foundations of the
Ruvcrnment would become subverted aim
worse than the eli.ios of the French revolu
tion In 1J3 would exist In this country.
These principle ? are sustained by the high
est constitutional authority.
The times are- hard , but that It no cxcusa
for crime. The severest test of manhood
Is never found In good times. It Is not the
man who has success when others are
doing , but It Is the mnu who
Keeps up his courage and strug-
Klcs when everybody else Is wavering or
going down who Is the hero In the night of
< ? od and man. We should have courage.
Do not be afinld to speak. I demand In
the highest Interest of good cltzi ! > n hlp that
corporate power and greed shall be eon-
trolled and regulated by law. I demand
of Uie Ncbiaskii legislature that the power
of forming every private enterprise li\to a
corporate existence so that the Incorponi-
tor. shall escape personal liability from the
debts Incurred In their attempt to rob pri
vate citizens shall be taken away and the
power to Incorporate limited to those busi
ness enterprises which are formed In the
Interest of the public and have the right of
eminent domain. I demand that It shall bo
rendcied Impossible for any man to trans
mit to his heirs moro than a limited sum
of money , say $3.000,000. Such a sum Is mtlll-
clent to stimulate any man In the acquisi
tion of wealth. The man of llfty ycara
ago waa n Croesus who was possessed of
S100.000. Now $20.000,000 and JIOO.000,000 la
possible never earned , but acquired , out
of the honest earnings of others. Wn have
always supposed that the law of primogeniture
geniture does not exist In this country , but
It does , based not upon a long line of heri
tage , and blood of the blue order , but upon
dollars. Homier It Impossible for any man
to transmit more than a certain sum , and
If he dies possessed of more , provide that
It shall go to the state for the use of great
public charities and the common schools.
I demand that when a laborer li working
under contract for certain llxed wages. If a.
lesser amount by the employer Is demanded ,
before the employer shall discharge be ft *
cause the employe shall refuse to recelvo
such wages , or before the employe shall n
cease his work go upon strike as a mem
ber of an organized body a petition shall
bo addressed to the courts setting forth
all the facts and be given a speedy hearIng - /
Ing , and the matter nettled and adjusted
on equitable principles , recognizing nt all
times the right of the employer to dis
charge and the employe to quit Ids labor.
Some such a system would do away with
strikes. No agitator , or walkjng bossci
would then be necessary.
LET REFORM BEGIN AT HOME.
It Is possible for this state to bo the
first to Inaugurate some such reforms na
these. All of them It In possible for the
state to control. Do not let us wait for
reforms to begin elsewhere The templa
of perfection has not yet been erected , but
It Is In the design of the universe. It never
will be erected anywhere than at home.
It Is not afar off , It Is possible for you to
erect and maintain such a temple In the
right doing and thinking of every day.
There Is none too high or too low but
that some good may be accomplished. If
you or t have gone wrong In our thought
or action for the common good , let us re
trace our steps. It will save others from
the same error.1) . . The light may never
come which will enable us to see what
Is the right thing to be done and the right
way to do It , but for one I am wuttlnir
for the light , and I am anxious to see It ,
and I am anxious for It to break In upon
the countenances of others. The way wilt
be pointed out. The light will come. This
government will not fall for the people
and by the people. In the present you and
must act not In selfishness , but In tha
spirit of the greatest good for the great
est number. Thought upon these lines wilt
enable the light to come Into the minds
and hearts of men , whereby the evils which
now beset us may bo cleared uway and ths
future bo lighted up by our combined effort
and wisdom , so that these who now surfer
and are oppressed shall be made glad with
Joy and bo enabled to thank God that they
live In a free , Independent and enlightened
century.
COMMON PEOPLE THE FOUNTAIN
HEAD.
Ever since the days of the lowly Naza-
rlne every movement originating superior
lines of thought has came from the com
mon people. The student of history may
trace this great fact through tha day
lending up to , and In which was accom
plished the great reformation and the adop
tion of the Magna Charta , down to th
abolition of slavery In this country. Tha
common people have originated and carried
successful completion ull great move
ments looking to the betterment of man
kind. Hcllglous , civil and economic llb-
prty have each ami all been brought about
consequence of the dealrea and heart
Imrnlngs of the fathers and mothers of
Europe and America expressed each to the
jther at the family firesides , and as each
thought has been uttered It wan laden
ivlth prayer to Almighty God for his blesg-
ng. So today In the tnldBt of thla great
mlustrlal depression , the same * great
thoughts which are tending to the down-
.hrow of olllclal and economic corruption
ind the consequent uplifting of mankind ,
ire from the hearts and minds of the
ommon people. The leaven Is working In
ho whole lump. Corruption sltH unpunished
our publla places. It has for years , not
inly In the legislative halls of the nation.
Dut In municipal affairs from the great city
New York down to the smallest of our
nunlclpal organizations. What Is the re.

'he cry has gone forth , and Is continuing1
