I'etcr Cooper club members have taken a good Ion; tlmo to think over tho de cision of tho supreme court In the l'orto Itlcnn cases uuil have reached the con elusion thnt they nrc Indignant about It. Tho longer they thought about It tho huttur they got, until they have finally reached thj stage wherein they don't enro u tent who knows it. When L. J. Quluby united tho meeting to order nt WuslilUKton hall hist night he probably did not notice that there were Jmt thirteen members present. J. J. I'olnts was called upon to act as secre tary. Things had not progressed far when J. E, Kellogg camo in and broke tho hoodoo, swelllnp tho number to fourteen. A stranger who came In still Inter car ried tho attendance up to fifteen, where. It remained, Among those present weic tho fojr men abovu Indicated, .Allen Hoot, S. A, Lewis, A. A. Perry, James Mc.Monlcs, K. I. Morrow, George Maguey, K. 8, Jlor ton and Mr. Duron. Uncut Inn of Wi anil Moulin. Under the head of new bublness E. I. Morrow brbught up an old topic. Ho some what Indignantly pointed out tho tndlsposl tbn manifested by Uo-.iglas county popu lists to contribute to tho party campaign funds. Recently punlthhcd statements showed thnt whllo other counties had con tributed liberally Douglas county has sup plied something like ?3 to tho stnto cam paign funds. Ho was authorized by Ulmor E. Thomas to bay thnt that gentleman was willing to form a list of populists who would contribute f 10 each toward wip ing out the Indebtedness of tho Htate com mittee. Messrs. Morrow, Mngney and Ycl sc" woro accordingly made a commlttco to raise funds. The club voted its endorsement of Jumcs McMonlcs for a position In tho oiMco of Tax Commissioner Fleming during tho busy senfton, but before tho meeting was over L. J.

Ho said that thoro were a number of that character holding positions In tho courthouse. Aillri'N to the l'ulillc. A committee comprising L. J. Qulnby, J. J. I'olntfl nnd Oeorgo A. Mugney submitted tho following nddress on the subject for discussion, which was received nnd the committee discharged: The Peter Cooper club respectfully sub mits the following nddrcHs for tin- consider ation of cnmlld men relatives to the recent decision of the United States supremo uoun in ino i-orio menu cases: The court held by a vot of tlve to four that the Island of l'orto Itlco Is a territory belonging to the United Stntrs, but not a part of the United Statu within the revenue clause of the constitution, which provide thut "all duties, Imposts and excises shall be uniform throughout tho United States," nnd that tho Foraker net, which provides that certnln duties shall be collected on merchandise brought from Porto Hlca to the United StateB, is constitutional and can be enforced. This decision Is fnr-reachlng In Its effect and apparently but few. reallre. Its true Im port. . 4 It means that tho colonial pollcS" of the present, administration will hereafter be held to bo constitutional by nt "least x ma Jorlty of one (all It needs) In the highest tribunal In the land. It means that the theory which has here tofore prevailed, that congress Is tho crea ture nt the constitution and has no powers except those delegated by the constitution, Is no longer tho rule, and that htivuft r the supreme court will hold, when this colonial policy Is Involved, that conere-H has nn existence and can excrclso uuthorlty outside of the constitution contrary to tho tenth amendment to the constitution, which reads: "The powers not delegated to th United States by the constitution nor pro hibited by It to the states nre reserved to the states respectively or to the people." It means that hereafter tho supreme court may be depended upon to sustain the theory that congress may by ncilon talten outside of the constitution engraft upon our republican Institutions a colonial system such ns exists under monarchical govern mentfl. It means that hereafter this Country may ncqulre territories anywhere upon the earth, by treaty or by conquest, ami hd'tt them us mere colonies or provinces, while the people Inhabiting them are to enjoy only such rights its congress may seo lit to accord them. It means that the principle contended for by tho founders of our government, that there shall be no taxation without repre sentation and no government without the consent of the governed, shall no longer prevail. It means that l'orto Rico, whose officers aro appointed by the United States, miy be treated ns If It were not a pnrt of t e United States, nnd hence It follows th t New Mexico and Ailzonu. mar be treated as though they were no part of the United States, yet Bubject to such legislation 0.1 congress may choose to enact, wltnout rererence to tne restrictions imposed by tno constitution. It means that the constitution does not follow the flag nnd thnt we who demanded liberty and equality before tho law lor ourselves now deny them to others. Cniiaf. for Worry. Wo therefore conclude that this remark- ublo decision Is h long step toward empire, inai tnis government is now lurgeiy in tne bands of a class who favor laws that will protect property, rather than men, ard that, whilu eternal vlcilnnce Is tho nrlcu of liberty, the present apathy nud unconcern of the average citizen In thu face of tins monstrous decision bode no good for the hope the American people have heretofore had In tho constitution and the Declaration of Independence. This dangerous doctrine which becomes a precedent by virtue of thU decision is well rebuktxl by Justice llarlun In his dis senting opinion, as follows: "Theao a 0 words of weighty import. They Involve consequences of the most momentous char acter, 1 uuen leuvo to say mat it inn principles now announced should ever re ceive thu sanction of a mulorlty of this court the result will bo n radical and mis chievous chance In our system of govern ment, Y will in that event pass from the era of constitutional liberty, guarded nnd protected by a written constitution, Into an era of legislative absolutism In respect of many rights that are dear to all peoples who lovn freedom." The spirit that fostered this nation wns tho spirit of the Declaration of independ ence thnt spirit which declared thnt "all men are created equal," that "governments derive thulr Just powers from the content of tho governed,'' thut "taxation without representation is tyranny" and that thu right of tho people to representation In the legislative body Is "11 rljht Inestimable to them and formidable to tyrants only." It wns tho. heart throb of three millions o munklnd It was the soul of Inspiration to Wushlngton and his bleeding und frozen forces at Valley Forge, It fired tho genlui of Jackson at New Orleans. It was tho beaconllght In tho dismal and gloomy path of Lincoln In the dark days of tho rebel' "ii. It waB the spirit that beckoned on the heroea of America only three short ye irs ugo, as from hill unu valley throughout this lund patriots of America enllMod In the caure of stricken Cuba. Are these principles false? Has America lived 11 He for 125 years? Is liberty but n phantom? Is freedom a dream? Docs the ''flag mean ono thing hern and another thing In our colonial possessions?" A ter all tho tours, sorrows. and despair of count less millions who have died that liberty might live after all, Is It true tlmt th dlvlno right of kings Is the correct prin ciple of government?

Mr. l'orry wns of the opinion that there Is no government and no law today except the will of those In power. Allen Hoot thought that tho address was entirely too tamo and declared that under the decision of tho su preme court President McKlnley stands In tho position that Oeorgo III occupied toward tho Amerlrun colonies nnd Is king of Cuba, Porto Itlco and the Philippines. Tho stranger threw tho blamo all on the people nnd declared thnt what Is needed Is popular education.

After ono hour and nineteen minutes of n struggle, the wrestling match between Peter Iich nnd John Holden ut the Omaha School of Athletic Culture lust nlgln wai cnllcd a draw. Uoth men were greatly ex hausted und Holden. though he hnd secured the first and only fnll, wus willing to call It even. Tho mutch wns for J1O0 a side, cntch-ns-catch-enn. pin falls only, best two out of three, rolling and Hying falls barred. Holden weighed 1GB pounds nnd Loch 150. Holden's strength called forth ull Loch's superior sclcnco nnd Loch did most of tho work all through. Of the seventy-nine minutes they wrestled Loch was on top seventy. Holdnn's fall was secured largely by chance. The opportunity for It en mo In a m:xup, Just jxa Ixch was putting n full of his own Into effect, nnd Holden's strength made .t possible for htm tu turn the tables at the critical junctur" when he got Lien's foot tu nn elbow look. The prcilmliuu.v bout was between two locul amateurs, Tom Mitchell, nt 176 pounds, and Clarcnco lingllsh. at 123 pounds. Mitchell was to throw Tlngllsh twlc In half an hour or lose the match. He (.ecuretl tho first fall In threo minutes and llfty ulght seconds, with a halch body hold, be fore eltlur man whs wet. lie was unnrdo to get another, however, and Kngllsh had tho better of the last llfteen minutes of tho bout, winning the match. Loch and Holden worked llftv-two min utes beforo Peter llnally succumbed to a leg and arm and rolling cross-body fall. All tho tlmo Holden had been underneath and on the defensive, loch worked c n stantly for a hammerlock, securing innny other holds besides, but his strength was not equal to carrying crotch and half Nelson holds to a fall. Time nnd ngaln ho got them, but Holden nlwuys broke In time. Fifteen minutes' rest wus n'lowed nft r this fall and It was tho opinion that Holden would quickly end the mutch by getting another one. Emboldened by his succeia, ho camo out nnd went on the offensive. Three times ho secured fine holds, and twice full Nelsons, but Loch would get away. Hoth times, Instead of bridging tno full Nelsons or breaking them by sheer strength, Loch backed out of them, tuning terrible punthhinent about tho neck And shoulders meanwhile, but succeeding. Thun the tnbles turned and Peter was again on top. Tlmo and again he got his opponent's shoulders started for tho mat and onco they wero almost down, but Holden always wriggled away magnificently Just at thu scratch.. After twonty-seven minutes of the second bout, when foth men wero lying exhausted on the floor, Loch on top, they agreed to call It a draw und Informed the referee to that effect. Captain Sullivan of flro truck No. 3 In tended to challenge the winner had a decision been reached. Ioch has nrrangrd a match with K. H. Morgan of this city for ?500 a side.
