7HE EMPTY HOUSE.

Led BY the pale hand Of Sleep, and sorrowins
Nor knowing why. though all enmeshed with
woe,
Seeking sHn. lost and dear and longed for thing,
Through all the weary empty house l go.
A voice from the stairway bids me sCome."
But when I mount no owner do I see,
And then below the chill voice whispers, Come -
And l go, weeping: Speak! Callest thou me9'
It is a dream / tell myself and say:
ooh. hush, strange heart and ease thy seeking
sorrow!
This saddest house shall pass from out our way
And thor AID l be glad again tomorrow"

fer the election Of United States senator's

fer the election Of United States senator's
by popular vote.
We believe in a government of the peo-
pie, by the people and for the people, and
to the end that the people may exert q
moro direct and potent influence upon
legislation, we favor the use of the initia-
tive and referendum Us fur as the princi-
pie can be applied.
We point with pride to the prompt en-
listment of Nehraska's quota of volun-
teers and congratulate all of the Nebraska
soldiers upon their faithful performance
of every duty that fell to their lot. While
the Second n dSThird regiments were not
called upon to prove their bravery upon
the battlefield, the members Of the First
Nebraska have won for themselves and for
the state imp~erishable renown.
We cordially commend the successful
efforts of Governor Poynter to furnish to
the members of the First Nebraska free
transportation from San Francisco to
their homes, and we favor an appropria-
zion to cover the expense. But while we
commend the soldiers fo%robedience to all
orders emanattng from the chief execu-
tive, we condemn the administrative pol
ICY which has converted a war for human
ity into q war of conquest. We believe
that the Filipinos should have re-
ceived the same treatment a the Cubans,
n that, as the Cubans were assured of
ultimate Independence and protection, go
the F1l1ptnos should nave seen. assured in
the beginning of our nations intention to
give them independence as soon as a stable
government could be established and pro-
lection from outside interference, such as
surance should be given now. II the Gu
bans, as stated in the resolutions of inter-
vention, are and of right ought to be free,
the same can be said of the Filipinos and
this nation would suffer no humiliation in
acknowledging adherence to the doctrine
that governments derive their just powers
from the consent of the governed.
We are opposed to militarism and con-
graduate the Democrats, Populists and
Silver Republicans in the United States
senate upon their successful resistance Of
the attempt of the administration to raise
h standing army to 100000.
We are opposed to entangling alliances
with England or any other European ma
ton, and contend for an American civili-
zation which will recognize the rights of
men, and by a noble example teach the
world the blessings of self government.
In an agricultural colnmunity, educa-
ton in technical agriculture and machine
arts is of the first Importance, and we
pledge ourselves to administer the morrill,
