NEBRASKA POPULIsTs TRICKED.
Protest Against Transferring the Or
EanizatiOn to the Democrats.

-
EanizatiOn to the Democrats.
st. Louis Globe-Dem
1t is by no means a surprise to find Wig
orous note of warning in Nebraska from the
national committeeman Of the populist party.
Mr.. Deaver does not mince words. He has
watched tho stealthy plans to transfer bod
lily the popuist organization in Nebraska to
the democratic party and allows the scheme
to go no further without denouncing It. In
the last three years the Nebraska democrats
have been strengthening themselves at the
expense of the populsts. few years ago
the democrats OF the state made an extremely
poor showing in third place. Mr.. Deaver
quotes from a recent letter written by a
democratic committeeman in which the end
of fusion shortly is predicted and the re-
mark made that the future of democracy
depends largely upon the number We can
draw from populst sources. There will be
but two parties and the leaders Of the demo-
cratic party will be the recognized leaders
then" That this is the game is unquee-
tonable. In 1892 the vote of the Nebraska
populists was S3,134 and that Of the demo-
Gratis 24,943. The plan is that the 10000
shall absorb the 900 and use them to sub
ject Nebraska to a party it has always
overwhelmingly condemned.
Mr.. Bryan is a populst in Nebraska.
Everywhere else he is a democrat He came
to Missouri in August and advised the pop
ulists to vote for a democratic congressman.
He has just been helping Goebel in Ken
lucky and the plutocrat Mclean in Ohio,
both lifelong democrats. He Is leading the
populists of Nebraska straight into the
democratic camp. He magineE that the bulk
of the party have forgotten that they ever
had any principles and are now devoted to
his personality. Mr.. Deaver objects to the
halter. I'm the west and especially in Ne
braska," he says, "the democratic party Is
hanging like leech to the peoples party.
In the south it spurns and suppresses our
cause" The statement is palpably true.
For one. Mr.. Deaver Is not willing that his
party should be "scuttled by democratic pi-
rates" No doubt there are thousands like
him who can see through the democratic
scheme in Nebraska, and will put their pro-
test against it in the ballot box on Novem-
ber 7.

denly reversed the surplus will exceed $780,.
100000 before the beginning OF the new
year,
These figures are OF especial Interest, De-
cause they exhibit the increased revenues
furnished by the war revenue law. The
ordinary expenditures of the government ON
peace basis are about 1915, ,000. 900 apart
from the postal expenditures, which are
nearly balanced by the income from postal
sources. At the present rate OF receipts the
government income for a year will reach
s525 900, which should be $50 900 600
above expenditures. While there was n
moderate deficit under the operations OF the
Dingley law before the war began, Il is fair
to place at least sl20. .OOO, 900 OF this increase
TO the credit OF the new law.
II is evident therefore, that the question
OF revenue can be left entirely alone by the
next congress. There will be no deficit at
the present rate OF expenditure, and the sur
plus, If not expended upon works OF public
nature, will not be enough TO cause string
ency In the money supply, especially as
Secretary Gage is keeping a large balances
In the national banks which he can increase
to any amount which may be desirable. The
finances OF the government are in a shane
to permit a vigorous prosecution Of the
Philippine war and this will probably be
considered by congress full justification for
leaving the revenue laws as they are until
the war is ended. The Sl20 O00, 900 added
by the war tax law, or as much OF II az
may be necessary, can be Topped of,

ENGBAND'S TASK.


The English people are beginning to
realize that the task they have under
taken in South Africa is very far from
easy. Mr.. Chamberlain said in the
House of Commons on Wednesday,: 1--WE
have never denied that the Transvaal
was foeman worthy of our steel" Yet
it is fact that most Englishmcn and
particularly those in the military service
believed that the Beers were no match
for the British and that conflict be-
tween them would be of short duration.
An English official formerly in the
South African service and who had
fought against the Beers expressed the
opinion that n war would not last
two months, that Il few defeats would
discourage the defenders of the Trans
vaal republic and lead them to sue for
peace.
There is no doubt that many others
felt this way, but it is already shown
to be n delusion. The Beers went to
war with the firm determination TO fight
to the bitter end. Mr.. Chamberlain said
that President Kruger never intended
to give anything approaching the rights
to the white race, or any acknowledg-
ment of British supremacy. Therefore
war was inevitable The colonial sec
retary was undoubtedly right so far as
British supremacy is concerned and
that supremacy will be resisted as long
as the Beers are able to marshal Il
force against the British. 1t was the
expectation of the British government
that these people would act wholly on
the defensive. They have taken the
offensive and they are showing that
they had carefully formed plan of
campaign before beginning hOstilities.
The aggressive movements of the Beers
have been a startling surprise to Eng
lishmen and from present indications
still more startling events are in
may not move with the swiftness of
British or American soldiers, nor fight
with their dash, but they are unsur-
passed in courage and persistence.
1t is now threatened that England will
have added to the task of conQuering
Free State the suppression of more
or less formidable revolt in Cape Colony.
This may be averted, but few sue
ccsses by the Beers would be very likely
to produce revolution in the Colony,
in spite of all the precautions that have
been taken against an uprising. Then
there is the further danger from the
natives, though the Beers have as much
to fear from this, perhaps, as the
British.
Mr.. Chamberlain said: I'VE are told
we shall lose South Africa. Our for
eign friends are convinced of it. But
1 am not alarmed" The colonial sec
retary is an optimist, but however good
the reasons may be for his now feeling
optimistic-and of course eventually
England will triumph-before the war
is ended Englishmen will have cause
to take gloomy view of the situation
and to deplore the conflict.

IN DESPERATE STRAITS.

The sham reform leaders find them
selves in most desperate straits. Find
ing themselves in face of landslide
they brought back William Jennings
Bryan TO save the day IL possible and
Bryan is touring Nebraska and deliver
ing namboyant anti-imperialism and
antitrust speeches, while I1olcomb is
making frantic appeals to the populists
and democrats whom he deluded and
betrayed to turn ont and vote for him
self and reform just once more.
But the people of Nebraska are doing
their own thinking this year. They have
tried the faith-cure once too often and
found that the political Schlatters and
prophets Of ill-omen have imposed upon
their credulity. The people of Nebraska
realize also that Bryan himself is re-
sponsible for the annexation of the Phil
ippines and all the consequences that
may follow. They know that he rushed
to Washington all the way from Florida
to urge his followers to iatfy the treaty
of Paris, by which alone annexation
could have become fixed fact. They
also know that trusts were in existence
before Bryan took his seat in congress
and that during his four years congress
sional career never raised his voice
against trusts or monopoly.
But the lion in the path of the sham
reformers is general prosperity. That is
the factor and force most feared by the
mountebanks of the three-ring circus,
al hn ,,1n O., 10
appeals made by them cannot offset it or
make the people believe that it Is their
duty or interest to ignore the changed
conditions and set their faces against
the indisputable proof that republican
policies bring more satisfactory results
than the visionary scheme of making
people rich by opening the mints to free
coinage.
The hopelessness of the fusion cause
Is, however, most fOrcibly illustrated by
the desperate and fierce onslaught the
fusion campaigners and their organs are
making upon Judge Reese in order to
cover Holcomb's inglorious record as
governor and mastery retreat as a can
didate. With the audacity worthy of n
better cause these desperadoes have
fabricated the most stupid fakes and
magnitied molehills into mountains.
They print idiotic cartoons that repre-
sent Judge Reese as filching thousands
upon thousands of dollars out of the
state treasury when in fact the startling
pictorial exhibit proves to be nothing
more than salary receipts and vouchers
for his services rs judge and pay of his
stenographer The manifest design of
such cartoons is to impose upon the ig
norant and credulous who would not
take the trouble to make close exami-
nation.
The fakirs do not, however, reproduce
the house rent vouchers drawn by Hol-
comb under false pretenses and in vio-
lation of the constitution. Such con-
temptible tactics will, however, not save
the day for the impostors who are mas
Querading as reformers.
