A Matter For
Congressional Action,

A number of the different states
of the Union have enacted laws,
(by their State Legislatures) with
in the past few years that render
nugatory. in a measure, the l4th
amendment to the Constitution of
the United States. Not only have
these laws been so framed that
they will have the effect of disfran-
chising very large per cent of the
colored population, but others have
added q property qualification, re
quiring that a person, in order to
be allowed 10 vote must possess a
certain amount Of taxable property
and that they must have paid the
taxes on the same before they can
vote. 1t is proper and good for one
to own $500 worth of property or
$500 worth, and 70 pay the taxes
on the same, but there are a great
army of good citizens who do not
pay taxes on either amount, who
are hundred times more compe-
3ent to casts an intelligent ballot
than other thousands who own
many times that amount of tax
able property and pay their taxes
too. But the question has resolved
itself into one. Of whether this
government is to continue to bcs
government Of the people or wheth-
or it is to be made n government
by certain classes Of people. If ,

Washington, March %. - The news of
Funston was received everywhere in Of
fetal circles with intense qualification,
but. perhaps. nowhere did it create more
satisfaction than at the white house. The
mansion was General MacArthur's dis
patch announcing the capture, which
came about midnight last night. This
morning the president also saw Admiral
Remey's cablegram and the press dis
patches. The cablegrams from General
Macarthur and Admiral Remey are as
follows:
General Funston has Just returned
from an expedition to Palanan, province
of Isabella where he captured Aguinal-
do, who is now in my possession at Mala-
canaan. Particulars later.
MAC ARTHUR"
Malacanan is General MacArthur's
headquarters and residence in Manila.
Secretary Root informed representa-
tive of the Associated Press this morn
ing that he can make no statement yet
as to the disposition of Aguinaldo. He
supposes that he will be treated as 9TH
er prominent insurgents who have been
captured.
When asked if Funston would be
rewarded by promotion for his daring
work. the secretary said that question
had not yet been considered.

BRUTALITY OF POLICE.
Many Riot Victims Are Dying From
Their Injuries.

st. Petersburg, March 2S-Last Tues
day it was expected in circles possess
ing the confidence of the government
that Lieut.. Gen. kleigel, the prefect of
police, would be given a Siberian COVER
nor generalship, but the ministerial CIV.
cular this morning contained what is
regarded as severe criticism of Klei-
gels policy of making arrests after the
outbreaks of the students troubles, IN
stead of forestalling them. The wrangle
with Lieut.. Gen. Viasemsky in the ca
thedral which caused the resignation OF
Viasemsky, is also hurting Kleigel. l.
is reported that Grand Duke Vladimir
is organizing mediation committee for
the purpose of inquiring into the COM
plants of students and endeaVoring to
persuade them to behave. A report
comes from the hospitals that nine
students have already died from in
juries in the late riots, presumably as
a result of wounds inflicted by the
leaden bullets which the COssacks are
alleged to have put on their whips. The
students themselves report only two
deaths, while the morality statistics do
not give a single death last week, ex-
cept from disease.
The candidacy of NJ. Kowalebsky for
minister of education is regarded as
very serious. Senator Tagantsoff cura-
tor of the Moscow district, and NJ. En-
rep, curator of the Kharkoff district arc
his principal opponents.

OLD TIMERS WITHDRAW.
Rosewater and Thompson the Leaders,
Name the Winners.

Lincoln, Neb. March 2S-This morning
the republican caucus nominated J. H,
Mllard of Omaha for the long term and
Governor Charles H. DIETRICH for the
short term for the United States senators
from Nebras ska.
When the caucus adjourned last night
the deadlock was apparently as firm as
anti-Thompson men began running
Crounse up, but he could not reach the
figures which promised any solution Of
the difficulty. 1t became noised about
that Thompson had decided to withdraw
and this was soon confirmed by the
announcement direct from Thompson
himself. He suggested Governor Deit-
rich as the nominee for the short term.
The action of Thompson was followed by
MIR. Rosewater. who suggested either
Geo. W. Lyninser or j. H. Millard, both
of Omaha, as the most available men for
the long term senatorship. Meikeljohn
and Currie Immediately afterwards am
nounced their withdrawal.
The caucus took up with the sugges-
tions of the two candidates and it was
the work of only a few minutes to nom-
mate Dietrich for the short term as suc-
cessor to Senator Hayward.
There was a little difficulty about the
withdrawal of Crounse. The sentiment,
however. soon decided him and the
caucus then made the nominations OF
Millard and Dietrich unanimous. Two
ballots We're taken on the two candi-
dates. On the first ballot Governor Diet
rich received 81 votes and his nomina-
ton was made unanimous. The second
ballot was but half finished, several
changes to Millard having been made,
among them being Senator Currie. him.

a member of the caucus withdrew in fa-
vor of Millard and the nomination was

d. T.. ThompsOn's withdrawal was forc-
ed by the knowledge that if he held out
a break from him would occur in joint
session of the legislature today. The two
long term candidates Rosewater and
Meiklejohn refused to yield in his favor.
and he could not be nominated with the
support Of each alone.

DRIVEN TO ASSASSINATION

New York, March 2S.-The World to-
day publishes the following despatch
from st. Petersburg, dated March 25
and mailed to Berlin, in order to es-
cape the censor:
The gravest feature of the present dis :.
turbances in Russia is the evidence OF
an organized combination for the fist
time between the students and working
men of a revolutionary character The
government has driven the students into
the arms of the labor party. Bogoloi-
epeff, the minister of public instruction.
who was assassinated, was the worst
type of a Russian bureaucrat. His ad-
ministration was marked by continual
petty persecution of the students Tie
petition prepared by eminent professors
and certain senators, invoking the par
sOnal Intervention of the car was
another proof of the panic prevailing in
official circles but the presentation OF
this petition was prevented by higher
| officials. Another striking feature OF
this outbreak is the refusal of large
numbers of Dvorniks, or yardmen who
act as a species of police reserve, to as
sist the regular police in repressing the
disorders, thus manifesting sympathy
with the people.
No doubt is entertained here that tn :
outbreak will be quelled eventually. but
it will only be done at an incalculab bic
cost Of life and suffering.

HERBERT SPENCER, THE AUTHOR,
A HELPLESS INVALID-NEG-

New York, March PA dispatch to the

The health of Herbert Spencer remains

thetic letter to a friend, in which he
says that he cannot work, cannot write
only few lines and reads little. His
days are spent on a lounge near a win
dew, looking out on the sea at Brighton.
The philosopher lives quietly and sell

mainly drawn from the sale of his books
in America, his copyright there having
yielded him $4,73O in the last six months.
The works of four leading English SCI
entists have now a steady sale in Amer
lea, whereas the demand for them has
falen off here. The publications have
paid in the last six months royalties
amounting nearly to $4,000 to Herbert
Spencer and the heirs of Darwin. Hux-
ley and Tyndall. The sales Of Spencer's

New York, March 2S.-Lord kitchener's
dispatch giving some further details Of
the battle in which General Darlington
routed Delarey, has given great satis-
faction, as it emphasizes the substantial
nature of the British victory, says the
London correspondent of the Tribune
Messrs. Merrnan and Sauer. the ennis
saries of the Afrikander bund, who are
here now on peace mission, are not
receiving much encouragement and it is
more than probable that they will not
have an opportunity to air their elo-
quence on behalf of the Beers at the bar
of the house of commons. Meanwhile
the feeling of the nation is decidedly OPP
posed to offering to the Beers easy peace
terms a second time. The Mail, which
announces the government of having be-
trayed the empire, by allowing Lord
Kitchener to discuss any terms at all
with General Botha, continues to be in-
undated by an enormous number of let
ters daily, showing how widespread is the
demand that the war shall only be ter
minated with the unconditional surren-
der of the Beers.

New York. March 2S.-While the poll
about the intentions of the powers with
regard to the Chinese question, it appears
to have been taken for granted that
Corea was simply a dumb factor in the
negotiations. In order to ascertain ex-
actly how this buffer state regards the
situation, the London correspondent Of
the New York Herald called upon Mr..
William Pritchard Morgan, NJ. p, Brit
ish consul general in Corea, who gave his
views as follows:
1.-The government OF COrea was influ-
enced to a great extent to my knowledge,
in granting concessions to the powers,
by anticipating that the various powers
having these vested interests would pro.
tect the independence of COrea. Japan
would not, in my opinion. attempt to
take possession of Corea without the APP
proval of the powers.
AT the same time there is a general
impression in the east that if Russia
encroaches on COrea, Japan, for her own
protection, must necessarily contest Rus.

Funston the Man for the Deed.
The president is naturally very cheer
full that the chief mover in the insur-
rection has at last been taken. 1t has
been the opinion of the military author
tiles for long time that Aguiraldo was
doing more than all the other agencies
combined to keep the rebellion in the
Philippines alive and every energy was
directed to compass his capture. 1t is
rather remarkable tribute to the dar-
ing and resourcefulness of General Fun
ston that long before he made the at
tempt he was selected by the authori-
ties here as the officer who might ac-
complish it. 1t was the intention of
General Funston some time ago to return
to the United States, but by direction of
the war department he was detained in
the Philippines in the hope that just such
a contingency as did arise should give
the opportunity to test his prowess. Both
the president and war department were
fully informed of the trap laid to capture
the insurgent leader and the result of the
expedition has been anxiously awaited
for several days.

Ohe Poor farm Question.

We do notagree with the above
views of the WASHBURN TIMES.
The Douglas county poor farm
has been a good investment for
the tax payers since it has been
established and could be made
more profitableif the law allowed
the poor commissioner to send
all applicants for poor relief to
the poor farm instead Of furnish
ing groceries, house rent and
even hotel board to those asking
county aid. In Iowa there is no
such a thingas poorrelief outside
of the poor farm, and as a result
there are nohospitalfees, nohouse
rent, no groceries or other sup
plies issued toany otherindividu
al. All those asking aid are sent
to the poor farm where they are
fed and clothedand if sick nursed
by their companions in poverty.
The children of the dependents
are semitic the nearest school and
finally bound out until they are
of age. Those of the dependents
who are mentally and physically
able are obliged to work on the
farm, themen in thefield and the
women mending and making
clothes, and other household
! duties. If this plan were in
vogue in Wisconsin there would
be very few dependent, and the
cost of fearing for the poor would
be cut down at least so per cent.
The poor farm system for caring
for the poor is the best yet de-
vised if conducted after the Iowa
fashion.
