ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS


Congressman-elect Roberts, who has
been denied a seat in the national body
because he supports three wives, has
issued an appeal to the people in which
he saws: Il deny the existence of the
lawful power of the house to prevent
me from being sworn in on the presen-
tatiOn of the same evidence of prima-
facie right upon which others are ad-
mitted to membership. l deny he
right of the house of representatives
to resolve itself into the justice of the
peace court, TO try me for INSIDE
meanor. alleged to have been commit
ted. in order to find grounds of ex-
pulsion or exclusion from the high
office to which I was elected. l deny
its right to confer any such power
upon its committee" He takes up the
question of his culpability and asks
how congress can bar him out when
he is exempt from arrest. American
citizens" he continues, lit is a Nor
mon who is the object OF the popular
clamor today May it not be the Cath
Ole or the Methodist Or the free
thinker tomorrow? If the rights of
the representative Of Utah and of this
state cannot be safeguarded by the
provisions OF the constitution and the
laws from the frenzy of popular fury,
set on fire by falsehood and distortion,
what guaranty have We that any ones
rights arc secure? And is it true that
this mob law by indirection is to reach
within what should be the sacred pre-
cinct OF the house of representatives
itself?"
Roberts denies that the Mormon
church is supporting him in his fight

RAILROADS AND COUPLERS.

With promptness to which the
public through long custom has be-
come familiariZed the representatives
of the railroad companies appeared
upon the scene at Washington last
week to ask the interstate-cOmmerce
commission for a further extension OF
time in which to comply with the law
of March 2, 1898, requiring them to
equip their lines with automatic coup
lers. Notwithstanding the fact that the
law is now nearly six years old and
that two years ago the commission
granted an extension until Jan. |, 1900,
the representatives of nearly 100 roads
appeared in Washington on WedEes-
day to ask for another year.

A great European war is likely to
be the outcome of the present armed
conflict in South Africa. This is based
on the presumption that England Will
be able to wipe out the two South At
Iican republics. In that case she will
want TO annex them. Here is where
the great war will begin. Strange as
it may seem. Russia. the despot among
nations, never wants to see republics
go to pieces. She will come to the
aid of the South African republics in
time to save them, and she will have
France as an ally.
OF course Russia and France are ac-
tuated by selfish mOtives-;oday as in
the past They want to destroy the
sea supremacy of England This has
been their object for more than two
hundred years. No Muscovite, how
ever humble, Omits it in his daily pray
ers. 1t is near to every Frenchman's
heart. 1t is the case of the weaker
nations against the strOng-the same
as it was when Spain dominated the
high seas. Then England aided by
the continental allies. took the sceptef
of world primacy from Spain. and
after welding it for two centuries she
is to be asked to give it up. The
South African war is the mere Oppor
tunity. A French fleet is already near
tie Cape. Another French fleet is at
Alexandria. French warsmen now
flag of the French republic flies over
warships in every Indian port The

OF Russian warsmen is gathered on

has been hushed with Muscovite gold.
The guns of the Dardenelles will re-
main silent to the passage of the Rus
sian fleet. That it will carry terror

see new danger. They must either aid
Russia and France or do that which is

is fired it will practically be all Eu-

the brunt of battle against Britain and
Germany.

death OF SENATOR HAYWARD, OF NEBRASKA.

He was a member of the state consti-
tutional convention in 1875. He was a
delegate to frequent state conventions,
and upon three occasions was elect
ed chairman, first in 1S7S-79.
He was married June 10, 1870, TO
Miss Jennie PeltOn OF Putnam county,
New York. they have three children,
Edwin F., a surgeon in the United
States army; William H., attorney at
law and captain of company c, Sec
Ond Nebraska infantry, and Miss Mat
tie He was president of the Otoe
County National bank. Always
Shrewd business man, he amassed a
comfortable fortune, which is invest
ed in farm lands in Otoe county, Ne
braska, and in Kansas, and he him
self was personally interested in sew
eral farming and stock raising enter
prises. Hayward never he'd public Of
flee. except for brief period of a year
in 1886, when he was appointed to fill
a vacancy upon the district bench, and
served out the term, which expired in
1887. He was actively identified with
State Historical society and took a
prominent part in various public
movements for the advancement a Lis
home town.
Hayward achieved his principal
prominence before the people as the
republican candidate for governor at
the 1898 election. As head of the re-
publican state ticket he bore the brunt
of the fight, losing only by 5000 votes.
Immediately after the election re-
turns disclosed the fact that the legis-
lature would be republican, although
the state ticket had been defeated,
Judge Hayward announced his can
didacy for the United States semitic.
His canvass was made chiefly upon
the ground of the popular demand for
his election. which had been voiced
throughout the state by resolutions of
various organizations, by petitions and
letters to the legislators From the
beginning of the contest Judge Hay
ward was the strong man, leading all
other republican candidates. There is
no disputing the fact that Hayward
surprised everyone. He refused all Of
fers of compromise and declared his
intentions of going down to defeat If
necessary with colors flying. To Sen
ator Hayward more than all other
candidates was due the long deadlock.
Others were willing to retire and let

SHIPPING BILL INTRODUCED
AGAIN

Alike in the presidential message
and in the report of the secretary OF
the treasury we find much stress laid
upon the necessity Of action to pro-
mote American shipping. The United
States is enjoying a colossal foreign
trade. Secretary Gage directs special
attention to the notable characteristics
which have marked the commerce OF
the year-a continuation of the phe
nomenal exports, moderate increase
in imports and a total of exports and
imports never before reached in the
history of our international trade. But
these facts tend TO bring into the
strongest possible relief the backward
condition of our merchant marine.
