THE laboring men have frequently had
occasion TO call on Louie Burmester while
he has been in the council for assistance
They never failed to receive a respectful
hearing and he always did all he could for
them. They say that John Power is a great
union labor man. Well, II he is, he's affli-
ating with mighty bad crowd from the
labor standpoint. Everyone knows that John
Powor controlled the last democratic con-
vention. II he did why did he let Broadwel
get the nomination for clerk Ct the courts {?
He knew what kind of labor record Broad
well has. He knew that Broadwell has been
traitor TO the laboring interests and he
would have blocked the nomination II he
had been friend to organized labor. Bur-
mester is the man who introduced in the
council and worked through a resolution
requiring the city to pay its laboring men
at the rate Of ten hours pay for eight
hours work
The democrats want to defeat Ostrom,
Baright and Burmester. Ostrom has been
the laboring mans friend since has been on
the Board of Commissioners and no clean
republican can afford to vote against either
of these three or any OF the other repub-
lican candidates"

Applause for MIR. Roscwnter.

Messrs. Baright, Bryant, Burmester, Vim
sonhaler and Haverly occupied seats
upon the platform. When it was pro-
posed by Chairman Hascall that they
should speak, the crowd persistently
cried for Edward Rcsewater. Each
spoke briefly, however, and were followed
by Mr.. Rosewater. The latter devoted only
enough attention to national issues to take
a vote in the desire of those present for
change from the present conditions. No
one in the audience sgnifed a desire for
such change and about half of the audience
voted that they wanted to continue the
present national administration and re-
store a republican administration in Ne
braska.
Turning to state issues, the speaker re-
counted something of the official careers
of the two candidates for supreme judge,
how Reese had come into office under ad-
verse circumstances and had acquitted him
self creditably and how Holcomb had come
into Office under favorable auspices and gone
out a failure With slight reference to the
judicial and county tickets he turned to
a discussion OF the reported detection of
the Bohemian voters, showing that what
was being held up as a grievance Of the
Bohemans was in reality but the grievance
Of one man who had failed to secure fed
eral appointment. He also pointed out the
duplcity of the democrats, who. in placing
representative of that people upon their
ticket, had selected a republican. Mr..
Rosewater's statements, which he challenged
any one to deny, were repeatedly and en-

There was nothing for the administration
to do but to protect the flag and maintain
the nations honor. What would other ma
tions think were we to withdraw our army
now? To whom would we turn over the
Philippines? To Agulnaldo? He is the leader
of but one tribe out of sixty and represents
one island out Of 600. No. they will be
turned over to nobody but William Mckinley,
backed by the patriotic American people, and
when the insurrection shall have been
queled this government can be trusted to
give them a just government.
There never has been a time when your
vote counted for so much as 1t will count for
this fall, for the result Of that vote Will
reach clear over into the 1unges of Luzon.
Aguinaldo has prayed for the success of the
democratic party, and the success of the re-
publican party will do more to put down the
insurrection than all the soldiers now in

cast aside, and the opposition to the "enl-
balmed" administration are to be CLASH
fed simply as traitors.
The only other expression which seems
adequate to convey the intense emotional
feeling of the imperialists is the word
'1oyal" as applied to themselves.
OF course to men of the type of ardent
craftsmanship represented by the immor-
tai William Henry Eustis the definite
meaning of any given word is a matter
of the smallest possible moment. Plain
English. for purposes of denunciation of
those who disagree with them, Is what
they want. And. if you can't use plain
English. as Mr.. Eustis said on the oc-
casion mentioned. what is the use Of de-
nouncing people at all?
The English used by the imperialists
thus far Is very plain indeed. A traitor,
we are informed. is a man who Is guilty
of treason; one who takes up arms and
levies war against his country; one who
aids an enemy in conquering his coun-
try. The punishment usually meted out
to traitors, aside from the death penalty,
is confiscation of all their available prop
erty. A loyal man, on the other hand, is,
in the political sense, a man who is true
and faithful to his sovereign.
We hope our loyal imperialist friends
will not on Sunday evening confine them
selves to the mere use of plain English,
but will go the full length of their Eng
fish and demand that Senator Hoar, Prof.
Laughlin, Mr.. Carnegie and the rest be
made to die the death of traitors and
submit to the confiscation of all their
available property In the case of Andrew
Carnegie the latter would be the proper
punishment He is too old a man to kill,
and he has recently been in receipt of sew
eral million dollars, enough, in fact, to help
materially to pay the bills for embalmed
beef. AS our loyal imperialist friends have
not yet selected the sovereign that is to
rule under the new plan of imperialist
colonial government, there seems no ade:
quate outlet for their loyalty excepting
alone death and confscation.
The G o b will be grievously disap-
pointed if Sundays meeting does not out
line some effective policy of this kind

OUR EXPORTS OF R,r,,rrp

Among the flourishes with which this

promise OF the secretary OF agriculture
OF the aid of his department IN promoting
the exports OF butter. His efforts were
duly heralded. Experts were set TO gath

cries. Agents were dispatched to Lon
don to receive the shipments. of butter
bought by the secretary's experts. Es-
pecial methods of refrigeration were
adopted and put into the steamships that
carried the butter. Bulletins were pub
ished by the department narrating the
labors bestowed in fostering this great
industry. The reports of the London
agents were of their success in convincing
the English that our butter was equal to
Danish or Swedish best, and it really

STOCKS DISAPPOINTING.
Investors Driven to Sell by the
Downward Tendency of Prices.


NEW YORK, May 12-Bradstreet's
financial review tomorrow will say: At
the beginning the week the market ex-
perienced a general liquidation of long
stock. On Wednesday 1t rallied sharply
on support by large interests and excep-
t1onally large purchases for London
rms fact was, however, apparently due to
the existence of large short interest in
Americans in the foreign markets, while
covering by the local professional bears
also contributed towards the recovery Of
prices. The European purchasing contin-

would be affected should the Ford fran

New York. On Friday the action of
speculation was irregular An early de-
cline was checked by the strength Of
sugar and other manipulated stocks, and
the expectation of good bank state
ment today also had an effect
The market has not suffered from any
fears of tight money. On the contrary,
supplies of funds seem to be increasing
and the rates are appreciably easier. The
collection from the government of SIS Co.,
600 of the Spanish indemnity by the in
stitution which acted in the matter of
renting the 5000 900, was a factor and
the movement of money now seems to
be toward the metropolis. The bond mar
ket has been unaffected by the events
affecting speculative values, and the de-
mand for investments is as large and
almost as eager as at any previous time.
On the other hand, the financial public
has certainly begun to appreciate the eff
fects of the continued creation of new
industrial securities, and a conservative
sentiment has asserted itself in this con-
nection. 1t was generally remarked that
the alleged proposition to erect a billion
dollar steel trust by a combination of the
industrials alrady formed in that trade
seemed to touch the limits of the indus
trial movement, and some relief was felt
when it was known that the foundation
for this was merely the plan to CONSOLE
date the Carnegie properties and to pur-
chase the interests of their founder in
them. The appetite of the public for in
dustrials has not, however, departed IS
shown by the $412, 000 goo subscription to
the SIS, 100000 stock of the Amalgamated
Copper company, although that enterprise
has been severely criticised in some quar-
tiers, and it is noted that the stock drop
ped quickly from premium of about
five to one of fraction above par.

THE YANKEE CAT,s-PAw.

The American people will do we'll In
considering recent events in the Samoan
islands to examine with some care the
attitude of the German government to-
ward its critics. In no other way can
they understand the patriotic forbear-
aGce and good sense which Emperor Will
lam and his advisers have shown
throughout in dealing with the embar-
easements which have arisen from Capt
Coghan's maudlin stupidity
1t is needless to point out that the
German emperor and his imperial ad-
visers are beset on all sides by their
critics for what is regarded as their
obsequious submission to "the Yankees"
Yet the only practical response of the
government thus far is to secure the mod
1hcation of the home regulations regard
ing the Importation of American meat
products. Let it not be forgotten that
that policy is, moreover, entered on in
spite of the sensational statements Of
the, opponents of the government that
all meat imported from America is of
the emhalmed variety. More than this,
it is worthy of Eote that our ambassa-
dor at Berlin takes pains to point out
| that not word has ever been said to
him by the authorities of the German
government about the much-discussed
|. claims for damages by German subjects
in the Philippines
We are simply playing the role of a
national dupe in the present contingency.
We were roped into a foolhardy position
at Apia by the knot of hot-headed Anglo
maniacs who represent US there.
BY all means the best-reasoned and
most intelligent exposition of our rela-
ton toward Germany and England in
Samoa is furnished by the following
paragraph, taken from the Kreuzzei-
tung, of Berlin:
Despite the African agreement between
England and Germany and despite the
CIV oiva a5i exchanged, this extraordinarily
by the English, who kept in the back
ground and sent some American Hot
spurs sP 10 the front In order to establish
the fact of an Anglo-American brother
hood in arms and embroil Germany
and the United States to the extent that
an understanding was rendered next to
| impossible: This much is. certain, that
| the friendly feeling between the United
States and Germany is a combination
that British statecraft just now relishes
| least of all
Why we must thus persist in the mad
cap folly of endangering our friendly re-
lations with other European nations
merely for the advancement of a n,ralv
apocryphaI friendship with England is
a question which no one not thoroughly
familiar with the operation of the i'm
perlalist intellect will ever understand.
