ANOTHER FREE MAN.

DR.. U. M. Browder, whom many OF
our readers remember for his gal
liant fight in Texas and also in Indi-
ana, in congressional races. is ION his
feet" again. The church pushed him
out because he was too much of man
and not enough of "timeserver" and
then, because his political friends
were in the great minority and could
not assist him, he went under the
wheels" He was past forty and had
reared small family, but being side
tracked on what he had fitted him
self fora Christian minister-he
spit on his hands" and begun again.
He took course in osteopathy and
is now located in Salt Lake City,
Utah. In recent letter he RENTS for
renewal and expresses great satisfac-
ton at being once more on his feet,
independent, and able to pay his way
in the world without asking any ia
vors from church or party leaders.
Brother Browder has the congratula-
ton of all hands in this sanctum.

TREASURY CONDITIONS.

"The United States treasury now
contains $474 ,1OS,336 of gold. The
holdings have steadily increased dur
ing the year and are now larger than
at any time in the history of the
country. The amount Of gold in the
country has increased over 100000
600 during the past four years and in
spite of the immense increase in bust
ness the Republican policy has pro-
duced sufficient money to carry on
that business and protect the credit OF
the country without borrowing or re-
sorting to the popocratic remedy of
free coinage of silver. Bee.
But you did resort both to borrow
ing and to the free coinage of silver.
You borrowed 5000 100000 at the very
commencement Of your administration
and Mckinley has coined more silver
than was ever coined by any other
president and he has coined 1t at the
ratio of 16 to 1. Four years ago you
told us there was money enough to
do the business of the country, and
that Bryan's claim of scarcity of
money was untrue The gold coin
has increased s4O0,O0O,OOO in four
years-your party has coined sixty
millions of silver and you have passed
laws by which the national banks
were induced to increase the circula-
ton of bank bills to the extent of
$90,000,O0O. You say the Republican
policy has given us all this money.
That is not true, except as to the in
crease of bank bills. The coinage Of
silver is distinctively measure Of the
opposition, and you claimed that such
coinage would prove calamity. Yet
you coined it just the same and claim
credit for doing that which you said
would prove an unparalleled disaster.
No Republican policy gave us our in
crease Of gold. That was the gracious
gift of Almighty God
Our currency would have increased
just as fast under Bryan. He would
have coined all the silver in the ma
tional treasury just as Mckinley has
done and th< increase Of gold would
have been just the same. Republicans
are claiming much glory for doing the
things that Bryan told them they
ought to do, and are clarifying them
selves for doing something that they
claimed it would be wicked to do.
Some prosperity has come to the
country because the Republicans have
adopted our methods in finance and we
hope that our prosperity may be in
creased as result Of their adopting
more of the wise and beneficent meas
ures of the popocratic party.

AFRAID OF PEOPLE.
CORPORATIONS NOW WANT
JUDGES APPOINTED.
j. Sterling Morton of Nebraska Voices
Their sentiments-The Kind OF Man
That Is Now Seeking Control OF Ne
braskn Democracy.

]. Sterling Morton is not in favor OF
the elective system of judges. He
thinks we would get better material
on the bench IL judges were appointed
by the executive instead Of being
elected by the people. In enforcing
his arguments he refers to the fact
that good lawyers do not wish to &C
cept judgeships because they can make
more than judges salary by means
of practicing at the bar and that there
fore we are compelled often to put
very inferior lawyers on the bench,
says the Nonconformist. That Is true,
but will it not be equally true II judges
are appointed instead of elected and
will not all the wiles Of the politician
be used to get an appointment just az
they would obtain a nomination and
election? The elective system has
given us some mighty weak sisters on
the judicial bench Of Omaha. but
would not the very same trading poll
ticians, or others just as bad, logroll
with the executive and obtain the APP
pointments?
Have we had any better success
with our federal than with our state
judges? Is it not true that we have
as district judges of the United States
men whose very names are the syn
onym of incompetence and dishonesty
Have not federal judges given decis-
ions in favor of capital and against
labor that would have subjected them
to impeachment twenty years ago!
Have not federal judges strained the
law in order to favor the demands OF
plutocracy?
Did not an appointive judiciary
show in 1876, when Hayes was rail-
roaded into office, that no man could
be a more abject partisan than were
the supreme judges of the United
States? In that case every legal ques-
ton was decided by a vote Of to z
and those political jugglers on the
supreme bench brought our whole jul
dicial system into open contempt!
And how was it with the famous or
infamous judge who charged his mind
on a plain question of law and beat
the people out of an income tax of a
hundred millions year.
The elective system is bad enough
but at least we can get rid of incom-
petent and corrupt judges some time
while death alone can relieve us OF a
bad man on the federal bench.

REORGANIzING THE PARTY.

And now Hoke Smith and some
their Northern brethren in the bust
ness of recognizing the Democratic
party and eliminating every question
of principle from the revised platform,
1t is proposed to revivify the corpse
by extracting all It's brains. Bryan
and Organism must go. Every good
thing in the recent platforms must be
plotted out. Bimetallism must be
junction must be established on ever
lasting foundations-dire legislation
must be relegated to the rear-an in
come tax will meet with disfavor-
the man without a country will JON
a party without a principle-the Re-
publican party and the Democratic
party will meet each other In friendly
rivalry and will contend for the favors
of triumphant plutocracy.
In 1852 the two great parties OF
this country assembled in national
convention and passed two platforms
which advocated practically the same
thing-they resolved that the question
of human slavery was settled forever
and that that burning question should
never again be agitated. The scheme
didn't work worth cent. Seward and
Lincoln, Chase and Sumner were not
in it--they forgot to reckon with the
reformers. The anti-slavery excite
ment rose higher than ever-ths agita-
ton went on and on until American
slavery was surrounded by armed men
and washed away in rivers Of blood.
History is getting ready to repeat It
self. Both the great parties will bow
in humble alteration before the throne
of plutocracy, and it is more than pos
sible that a so-called Democratic party
about which there isn't single Demo-
cratic principle may be allowed by the
trusts to elect a president in 1904 jusi
to encourage 1t in It's evil courses.
These Democratic idiots propose to
mark back the dial of time-they pro-
pose to crush every aspiration Of free
dom-to become a second edition OF
the Republican party without either Its
courage or its brains.
But what will Bryan and Altgeld and
Towne be doing while every honest
principle is being taken away from tia
party of Jefferson? Is 1t not likely
that honest men may again join to-
gether in an honest party and again
make it mighty warm for the time
servers and the hypocrites?

Estates Are White Elephant.

The DUO d'Orleans wants to sell the
Sicilian estates left him by the Due
D'Aumale. They comprise the Palais
D'Orleans, near Palermo; the wine
chateau of Palermo and zucco, not far
from that city. The Due D'Aumale
spent much money on agricultural I'm
provements at Zucco, but as he was an
excellent man of business they were
remunerative. His nephew finds the
place a white elephant.

there is a great number of idiots who

there Is a great number Of idiots who
live in this great country. Here Is
nearly a billion of dollars in minerals
which the good God placed in the earth
for the enrichment and happiness Of
all his children, dug up in one year
and given to few men instead Of to
the worlds teeming millions. The
mines of iron, copper. Oil and coal in
stead of belonging to the people have
been appropriated by few thousand
millionaires
These mines have piled up for indi-
viduals some of the greatest fortunes
in the world. while the laborers who
have dug up all these riches have been
all the time on the very border land Of
actual starvation.
This is not right, brethren-it is as
wrong as wrong can be. The COM
monwealth should own oil the mines
and hold and work them for the Bone
At Of all the people. There is no more
reason for the private ownership OF
mines than there Is for the private
ownership Of the air, the water or the
sunshine.
This is one of the things to which we
must soon apply the principle OF pub
lie ownership. After we take possess
sion Of the municipal monopolies and
the railroads then the next objective
point will be the mines. Whenever the
people say that we shall do these
things they are already done 1t Is not
an abstruse thing-there is nothing
difficult about tit is only depositing
a paper ballot according to the die
tates of common sense. Let the peo-
pie resolve that they will vote for no
party that does not incorporate public
ownership into it's platform and thep
the conversion of the politicians will
be as sudden as was that Of Saul oil
Tarsus. The people can get what they
want when they have the courage and
the common sense to 60 after 1t.
