Passing of N Great Chief.

NEW OTK ITIDUIIt.
At Pine Ridge S. D., Conquering Bear,
the old Indian chief who had been victorious
in hundred battles with the Sioux has
just been buried amid the wailings OF six
widows, with faces painted black for mourn
ing, and 1923 children and grandchildren, the
most numerous direct family of any known
Indian. 1t is rather curious that after going
unscathed through so many battles he should
succumb to the perils OF the trolley system,
having got off car head foremost, show
ing disregard of conventions much more
Independent than iudcious. The mourning
for the old chief will be kept up week,
which, from the aboriginal point of view
will not be beyond his deservings.

Swinburne, the English poet, has come
out with a sonnet on the Transvaal, in
which he Historically urges the Britons to
"scourge these dogs agape with jaws afoam
down out Of life" Those who have been
behind the scenes wonder how much ar
tifcial inspiration was necessary before that
hydrophobic line sprang from the poetical
Uranium. Austin, the English poet laure
ate, need "cudgel his brains no more" in
vain endeavor to compete with such an in
spired effort, but he might offer to share
with Swinburne that annual pipe of wine"
to which his laureate services entitle him.
He need not fear a refusal

Ordinarily a candidate for the presidency
is supposed to be attracted only by the
distinguished honor OF occupying such an
Office and by the opportunity to serve his
country in an exalted capacity. In the
case of Mr.. Bryan, however. there are
good reasons for believing that the pres-
Dental salary is an important considera-
tion. Never before was candidate for
this position so thrifty in his methods.
Never before did the country witness the
spectacle of a presidential candidate going
from state to state charging from $50 to
5000 apiece for speeches made in the in
terest of his own boom. man who has
so keen an appetite for cash as to violate
all precedent and all sense OF propriety
in this way may fairly be suspected OF
seeking the presidency largely for the
money that is in the office" No wonder
IL Mr.. Morton, or any other citizen, be
comes tired hearing such man continually
prate of placing money above honor"

The editor of the Nebraska Independ-
ent, who is trying to help Judge Will
liam Neville juggle his imperialistic let
ter onto Brother James, should look
through his own back files. William
Neville's statement, in which he says
that to give up the Philippines either
to Spain or to their own fate would
belle the declaration of war, was orig
inally printed in the Independent in De-
cember, 1898, and if there was any
changing of names without the authors
consent it must have been done by the
editor of the Independent.

Mr. Morton was led to print this letter

Mr.. Morton might say in this connection
was false" showing that he must either
have forgotten the incident or believed Mr..
Morton could not present the proof 1t
seems, however, that Mr. Morton preserves
all letters written to him, expecting that in
good season some OF them may be OF use.
This letter. 1t is certain, will not give Mr..
Bryan satisfaction, particularly when cleo

through Nebraska.

Pension Commissioner Evans, in an inter-
view in the Washington Times, relates
some facts concerning the rush for pen
sions by soldiers of the late Spanish war
He says: Directly following the close OF
the war with Spain there were large
number OF applications, amounting at the
time OF closing my annual report to
1886, and of this number 295 have been
allowed. 1t was this way: Many OF the
boys came back feeling that they were en-
tirely disabled. but after a few weeks or
months Of home treatment, feather beds to
sleep in and plenty to eat they found that
they We're only temporarily disabled and
gave up all idea OF applying for pensions.
1t is my opinion that there will not be
nearly as many applications filed as was at
first expected But years from now there
will be pensions to be paid those who con-
tracted disease while in the service in the
war with Spain. In some cases 1t requires
years for disease to develop, and those who
feel entirely well now may be foored from
disease at any time in the future"

to the world at large that they want only
the best men to occupy high judicial posi-

republican candidate for supreme judge, is
presented one acknowledged as a leader in
the legal profession, one whose learning
and knowledge of the law have fitted him in
a peculiar manner to the high place he has
been named for. There can be no COM

NJ b. Reese
Norfolk News: The fusion press would
like to cast Chaplain Mailley into disreEpect
because he has the courage Of his c5nvc-
tions and believes in speaking out in meet
ing despite their gbes and taunts. 1t is
exceedingly strange that one member Cf a
regiment can be a hero and another not
simply because he stands by his guns at
home as well as abroad. The questi Is:
Do these papers really believe that the
Fighting First would have made the record
they did and covered themselves with glory
while fighting for cause they deemed un-
just? Impossible! To make a fighter a
soldier must believe in the justice OF his
cause and country and the deserved punish
ment of his enemies. Otherwise the author
ity of officers and rigid discipline would not
prevent mutiny or at least listlessness on
their part. The fact that there was none OF
this goes to prove that at least the vigorous
fighters were convinced that they were fight
ing for the right and not to oppress sturdy
band of patriots, as the fusionists would be
pleased to have them believe.
