Nebraska Democrats, Populists and Silver
Republicans met in this city yesterday and
fused on nominations for judge of the SUI
preme court and two members of the board
OF regents of the state university.
Former Gov. Silas A. Holcomb was nomi-
mated for supreme justice by the Populists
and Endorsed by the other two conventions
though not without a fight in the Demo-
cratic gathering, where there was strong
opposition. to him emanating from Doug
las county. This opposition centered on
former United States Senator William v.
Allen, who could have had majority Of
the ballots in the convention, but he pushed
the honor aside and supported his friend,
Holcomb. Allen was chairman of the reso-
lutions committee in the Populist conven-
tion and William J. Bryan was a delegate
to the Democratic gathering.
Bryan dictated the platform Of the
Democratic convention. This document de-
clares uncompromisingly for free coinage
of silver at the ratio of 16 to and in
dorsed bodily the Chicago platform of 1885,
THE PLATFORM.
The money plank is as follows:
"Our confidence in the principles set
forth in the Chicago platform has been in
creased as those principles have been vim
dicated by events. The gold standard is
less defensible now than it was in 1885,
since the president has confessed its fail
ure by sending a commission to Europe to
secure international bimetallism, while
the inability of the commission to secure
foreign aid is proof that the people Of the
United States must act alone il they ex-
pect relief. The present legal ratio Of 16
20 {o
the opponents of that ratio have nothing
to offer in its place, but the evasive and
ambiguous phraseology which for years fur
nished to the gold standard advocates a
mask behind which to hide while they Sc
cretly labored to make gold monometallism
permanent
due to the increased production of gold or
to a favorable balance of trade, instead Of
supporting the gold standard doctrine shows
that more money makes better times and
points the way to bmetallism as the means
of securing a permanent increase in the
volume OF standard money throughout the
world. The Republican scheme to lessen
the value of standard money by making
gold the only legal tender money has at
last become apparent to all and must be re-
sisted by the debt paying and wealth pro-
ducing classes of the country. f
The plan to retire the greenbacks in the
interest of national bank notes denouncN
by the Democrats in 1896, but then de-
Tended by the Republicans, has boldly
stalked forth from its hiding place and
threatens the formation of a gigantic paper
money trust.
REGARDING TRUSTS
On the question of trusts the platform de-
clares:
"The industrial trusts springing up on
every hand testify to the administrations
in difference to monopoly, or its inability
to cope with it.

Tropical Diseases.

committee of doctors is investigat-
ing the tropical diseases which are
prevalent in our Asiatic possessions
The doctors say "the field of research is
very fascinating, and offers many at
fractions" Here are some of the at
fractions: Disease generally in Luzon,
when compared with the temperate
zone, is for deadliness as to 1, and if
the patient don't die the effects of his
sickness stick to him like brother, and
ture life. Here are some local diseases
that are new to us and very interesting
First comes the "dengue," which either
kills the man or stiffens him up like a
ramrod. Then there is the "berri-
berri," from which the mortality is said
to be frightful, and from which the
patient never fully RECEIVERS. This is
contagious. Next comes "elephantia-,
SIS which causes the victim to swell
up to immense size, and his liver be-
comes so large that 1t monopolizes his
entire internal storage capacity. This
disease is produced by thread-like
worms carried by mosquitos-these
common carriers" need regulating as
much as do our railroads. The yellow
fever, like the poor, they have always
with them. Leprosy, also, is to the
manner born, and still continues to do
business at the same old stand. And
then, most interesting of all, is the
bubonic plague, the prince of pestilence,
and the most deadly of mortal diseases.
How these doctors must revel in their
delightful discoveries! When we see
what great things imperialism is DOING
for our medical profession is there
man so unpatriotic as not to thank our
noble president for his sublime efforts
in favor OF worldwide expansion?

The failure of the Ruskin Cooperative
Association, in Tennessee, about the
last Of July, nearly closes out the list of
similar associations that in the past Is
years have managed to keep their heads
above water. The ignoble end of the
Ruskin society by sheriff's sale for a
few hundred dollars, was a fit termina-
tion of it's existence. Mr.Wayland, for
merly of Pueblo, in this state, joined the
Ruskin association. He was a gentle
man of education and wealth, and had
achieved national reputation as a re-
form editor. His alliance gave the as
sOciation a standing to which it had not
before attained, and besides, he gave to
the society printing press worth about
S233, 900, and his own services as editor.
1t is true he joined the Ruskin associ-
alton knowing that the stockholder who
only possessed an individual share of
$500 had just as much to say about the
management of the property of the as
sociatfon and it's policy as a stockholder
who was the individual owner of so
shares, but he believed this arrange
ment was intended and would be exer-
cised for the public good, and not for
selfish and even criminal purposes In
equity the society had no more right to
take possession of the printing press
Mr.. Wayland had contributed and re-
move him from his position as editor,
unless he had violated the laws and
principles of the association, than a
band of highwaymen have a right to
rob traveller of his property. In law,
Mr. Wayland was without remedy. He
withdrew from the association and
started new reform paper at Girard,
Kas.
There were possibly some decent men
in the Rusk1n association, but it's man
agement was early corrupted 1t was
a mistake for such men as Henry G.
Lloyd to give his name and influence to
upbuild the Ruskin association, after
it's robbery of Wayland. There is some
thing radically wrong with the COM
munal societies Of the present age In
their nature they are impractical, and
have no stability except as an illustra-
ton of some religious idea. At best
they develop selfshness, and at the
worst free love.
The withdrawal from society of the
truly good" will not reform the errors
of civilization. The Lord did not re-
quire monogamy in the days of Abra-
ham and David, and until the nation
believes in and adopts the practice of
the public ownership and use of public
utilities, and the people are educated to
that idea, all spasmodical attempts, fire.
quently under the most unfavorable cir
cumstances, to establish private CO.
operation, must necessarily be only fail
ures, as selfshness demands. The
Omaha platform laid down all upon the
subject of communal rights that it is
wise to advocate. It's doctrines on
finance, land and transportation are
foundational, and must be "the head of
the corner" The single tax" Social
ism," etc., can be of no account, while
the bank and transportation monopolies
are in full force.

Benevolent Assimilation.

Benevolent Assimilation.
Shoot the great shells of Christian love
At the naked Filipino,
And from the mouth of the Gatling gun
Your shot and powder throw.
Cut down their wives and children all
With the blood-red sword of strife,
And gloat DER the ignorant savage
there,
AS he gives up his hated life.
Oh, cover their land with running
blood.
In this beautiful Christian work,
And don't let your hand in WEAKNESS
Your boasted duty shirk.
And when at last you have cut them
down,
And the last lone savage dies,
AS over his head in the Orients breeze
That banner OF freedom flies.
Then, when you teach your children the
glory won,
Like the tales of long ago,
Can you say, twas loving Christian
That crushed the Filipino?

CROKER SCHEME.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 15-.The silver
Democratic camp here today discovered
new cause for joy. They learn that
Boss Croker's conversion to anti-im-
perialism is due to a concerted move
ment among anti-imperialistic Repub-
licans to place presidential ticket in
the field.
The movement hinges upon President
McKinley's forthcoming message to
congress. If in that he does not place
himself on record as against the reten-
ton Of the PHILIPPINES, the anti-imperi-
alistic presidential ticket is a go, and
these Democrats have Boss Croker's
word for it that Thomas B. Reed has
been asked to take the presidential
nomination. These anti-Filipino Re-

One OF the pet Ideas Of Queen Vic-
toria Ia that she 10 descended. through
Zedekiah's eldest daughter. from Da.
vid, King OF Israel, and 1t Ia reported
that she has sent to her grandson, the
Kaiser. a copy of her much.prixed fam.
lily tree with the great Psalmist ut the
top. 1t Is not unlikely that the re-
sourceful chrOnicler who manufacture
ed the pedigree intended to place Adam
in the position of progenitOr-in-chief.
and that ner Majesty very promptly
and very properly objected to this, sac
rihcing antiquity to respectability.
Adam. US everybody knows. had no an
cestOrs. He could never boast Of his
grandfather, as the Kaiser boasts Of
his, and whatever Ewes marital cares
and vexatlons were she never had
thrown In her face the reflection that
her mOther-ln-law could have made
better apple dumplings than she. Be-
sides, Adam was only q gardener.
while David was king. The former
roved about Eden without q second
suit Of clothes-the less said about his
first suit the better-while the latter
had purple and fine linen by the bar
rel. When. therefore, 1t came to the
matter Of choosing an ancestor, as be.
tween gardener and king, Victoria
properly selected the king. Any Amer
lean multi-millionaire - indeed. we
might even 60 the length of saying any
Colonial Dame-would have done the
same and more-would have planted
the tree thus obtained In the back yard
to stand a perpetual source Of envy to
their ueighbors.

1t has been the boast OF the English
people that the morning drumbeat Of
their army keeping company with the
hours, circles the earth with one contln-
uous strain Of martial airs" While

come very near fulfilling for this coun.
try what It 10 said the British drum
does for England. A Washington news
paper has undertaken to arrange the
order In which the morning salutes arc
given, which will show how widely our
garrisons have been spread out since
April. 1903. The first sunrise salute
fred ut an American post Ii heard ON
the island OF Vieques, which lies to the
east Of Porto Rico. In about seventeen
minutes thereafter the cannon sounds
ut Fort Preble, ut Portland harbor, ON
the coast Of Maine. Statutes follow
slch other across the country until
Fort Meyer, on the Potomac. 10 reach
ed, and no sooner Is the gun heard
there than that at Santiago is fired,
Porto Rico's garrison having in the
meantime saluted the sun. Other posts
in Cuba west of Santiago take up the
refrain, ard after Pinar del Rio has
made itself heard the line of firing 10
transferred to the mainland Of the Uni
ted States and moves across the cont.
nent, westwardly, through the various
military posts to the Preside ut San
Francisco. About forty minutes later
the gun at Fort Wrangel 10 heard. and
In an additional twenty minutes Fort
Dyea, In far Alaska, salutes tho sun.
It 10 an hour later when the Honolulu
troops pay homage to the new day.
Something like Ave hours later the lit.
tic fort at Guam speaks, and In two
hours more. or seven hours and quar-.
ter after the morning shot has been

the Philippines and Vieques, taking q
westward course, the distance IL nearly
$50 degrees, 80 that II the sunset gun
ut Manila could be heard at Vieques Il
would awaken the sleeper at the latter
place few minutes before its own
garrison saluted the morning sun
While the colors Of the United States
are not "hung to every breeze that

evening guns can now be heard In near
