ORGANIZE,

By a notice elsewhere it will be
seen that l. y. Sherwood, Precinct
Representative OF the Democratic
National Committee, has called upon
all those, who intend to support
William j. Bryan and Adiai f..
Stevenson for President and Vice
President to meet at the court o
Friday evening ut 8 o'clock for the
purpose Of organizing a Bryan and
Stevenson club. This Is the right
kind OF q move and shows that Mr..
Sherwood is alive TO the Importance
OF organization in u political cam
paign. IIithe rto tho Democratic
parsy III this county has depended
entirely upon the county central
committee for the distribution Of
literature and all the necessary work
Of the campaign. The membership
OF this committee ID 80 widely
scattered that the work has not been
done in the past in the way to secure
the best result. The organization Of
a strong club here will remedy this
and make the work effective. The
INDEPENDENT, therefore, hopes that
all. irrespective OF pust party a%ftillia-
tons who intend to vote for Bryan
and Stevenson, will be at the court
room Friday night and put their
shoulders to the wheel.
With Il thorough organ cation i'll
every voting precinct, Elko county
will roll up .an overwhelming major
ity for the Democratic leaders.
Without it the party will drift along
MS it has in the past and the enemy
will walk of with the spoils Of victory
AS eternal vigilance Is the price OF
liberty, SO is Il thorough organization
OF political parties necessary to vic
tory. Let us organize now and do
our share OF the work, in the
greatest political battle of the cent.
ury. The harder we work the great.
er will be our share OF the victory.

EXPANSION vs.. IMPERIALISM.

W. j. Bryan defines the difference
between Imperialism and expansion
az follows:
There Ii a difference between eI.
pansion and Imperialism. Expansion
is the extension OF the limits Of re
public without a change OF its char.
acter. Imperialism is the policy OF
an empire. We have expanded be
fore; We never had imperialism be
fore. We expanded whom we took in
the Louisiana territory; we expanded
when we took in Texas, New Mexico
aud California. But today it is not
expansion. 1t is not taking III land
that can be settled by American citi
zens and built up into States. 1t is
going across an ocean to get not land
for settlement. but races Tor subJuga-
ton. Heretofore We have extended
the limits OF the Republic and every
citizen has enjoyed the protection Of
the flag md the Constitution, but the
Republican party now wants this ma
ton to enter upon n period Of impe-
rialism. 1t wants the flag supported
by the strength Of the army, but it
does not want the Constitution to
follow the flag when it goes into a
foreign cline.

PROGRESS OF ASSIMILATION.

Considering the fact TINT there arc
some eight or ten million people in
our now possessions, and that from
thirty to sixty thousand Americans
have been banging away at them for
moro than n year, ton thousand dead
Filipinos seem rather q small killing.
IL we compare tho price paid under
the Spanish treaty for all the Fill
pinos alive, with the many millions it
has cost to kin each OF the ten thous.
ind who have been shot, 1t ia easy to
SEQ that n dead Filipino is much
more expensive than his living broth

Americans who have been killed OF
who have died from wounds or dis.

OF our imperiRlists not worth counting

THE PHILADELPHIA PLATFORM.

There is promise to build up Amer

But there is dead eilence Us to how j.

1896 boldly proposed to restore the
old plan Of discriminating duties

such u wretched failure during the
long period when it was tried.
Courage to approve OF bounties was

THE GREAT WALLACE SHOWS
High Tribute Paid to It by the
Washington Post.

The Great Wallace shows, which will
exhibit in Scranton Friday, May 25,
was called THE Greatest Show" in
an editorial mentioned by the Post of
Washington, d. C. In part the Post
said:
THE Great Wallace show represents
all that there is of the legitimate
worth in the circus business. 1t is in
charge of men who aspire to elevate
the tone and purify the atmosphere
of the calling, and we believe the
thousands who have attended the per-
formances during the past two days
will certify they have succeeded. Not
only was the performance up to the
highest professional and artistic stand
ard the menagerie large and varied,
and the trained animals of the best,
but there was not in connection with
the Wallace show a single one of those
discreditable and demoralizing features
which have done so much to give the
circus a bad name and to discourage
the true friends of that otherwise
wholesome form of amusement"

coRcoRAN MURDER CASE.
Like AL Its Predecessors, the Lat
est, Is Very Evident, Bosh,

1t is now fairly well established that
the alleged deathbed confession OF
William II. Cooney, of Wllkes-Barre,
duplicating himself and two others In
the Corcoran murder, is scarcely to be
credited. The general opinion in
Wilkes-B Barre, based on the investiga-
tions Of the newspapermen, is that it
was the irresponsible raving of
drunken man.
Cooney was o confirmed drinker and
had been on spree three weeks prior
to the time of the alleged confession
1t is supposed he made chance re-
mark about the Corcoran murder that
brought suspicion on him, and when
the detectives got hold of him he kept
giving them good stories as long as
they continued to supply him with
liquor.
The reporters have shown to a prac-
tical certainty that Cooney slept at his
own home the night of the Corcoran
murder, and went to work the next
morning. The testimony of all his
neighbors is to the effect that Cooney
was not the kind of a man who would
commit a murder.
