small, also piling in the fender is too
small, and is pine poles with the bark

NEBRAsKA's VOICE

There are all sorts OF evidences that
the little band of beet sugar senators
are misrepresenting their party by re-
fusing their support for the reciprocity
measure with Cuba. Nearly all the
newspapers OF Importance have de-
manded justice for Cuba and have sup
ported the President in his determine
ton to secure the passage Of the mea-
sure.
The various State conventions, too,
have declared for concessions to Cuba
in unequivocal terms Nebraska is the
latest. AT her State convention on
Thursday this resolution was adopted:
We heartily endorse the administra-
tion of President Theodore Roosevelt
We especially commend the justice and
wisdom OF his reciprocity policy with
Cuba as embodied in his message to
Congress.
Now Nebraska is known as a beet
sugar State, and yet these Republicans
were brave enough to do their plain
duty. Her two senators who have op-
posed the measure wrote q letter ex-
planning their attitude. This was
promptly filed. and the foregoing reso-
luton adopted The Republicans OF
Nebraska have done well, and have ad-
ministered a deserved rebuke TO their
two senators.

for the dismissal Of any Union OF any
other Republican official from the
Federal service. and we challenge The
Union Republican TO name one man
claiming to be a Union Republican
who has been so dismissed.
FOurth-Dr. BAN is not opposed to
one Republican party in Delaware. and
we challenge the Union Republican TO
produce a particle Of evidence TO prove
that he is or ever has been.
Eifth-Dr. Ball is an advocate of
common primaries in New Castle coun-
ty. but he never has helped the Demo-

he has.

can ticket. will convey TO the minds o.
the people of Delaware the infamous
method TO which some Union RepuDli.
cans are willing to stoop in order to
accomplish their purpose.
The inability OF the promoters ol
such a scheme to carry it into effect
even though their terms had been
lagreed to. is manifest to everyone
The Board OF Pardons being in no way
concerned in the matter. the impossible
ity of these political marplots TO ef-
fectuate their promises demonstrates
their degradation and political hlthi-
ness. RIO resort to such means OF
hypocrisy and political deprayity is
sufficient in itself to attest the vii
lainOus practices which have been
charged to certain Union Republican
workers. To undertake such an ad-
vantage OF these unfortunate prisoners
and their families, is going to an ex-
tent which cannot be countenanced
only by the most utterly depraved OF
human creatures. 1t cannot be fair to
charge the oifense TO the Union Repub
lican party only so far as the perpetra-
tors are members OF the same. Union
Republicans as a rule. are not different
from other persons in the every day
walks of life Like other persons they
have a just sense of decency and the
prophecies of life And il would be
unjust to make a general charge
against Union Republicans so far as
this latest piece of infamy is con-
cerned. We believe that most mem
bers OF that party will condemn the
action of their cO-political workers.
TO believe otherwise would be a loss
of faith in human nature. such in
human rascals as those who are i'm
Dlicated in the charge made by the
Journal should be outside the ranks OF
oil political parties and there compelled
to stay. The contempt with which
their offer was spurned portrays the
character of the men whom they
wished to buy. Although confined
within the stone walls OF prison,
caused by thoughtlessness and ungov-
enable tempers, the prisoners proved
their characters as men to be far SUI
Derior to the characters OF their would

THE INDICrMENr oUAsHED

The Union Republican. which, for
the benefit Of our readers. we may say
is a small Georgetown paper publish
ed in the interests OF Addicks. draws
an Indictment against Congressman
Ball containing seven counts. The Sus-
sex Republican takes this up in it's
present issue and proceeds to quash the
Indictment as follows:
First-Dr. Ball did not pledge him
sell TO divide the Federal patronage.
and we challenge the Union Republican
to produce cne scintilla of evidence
that he did. but he has had more Union
Republicans appointed 10 Office in two
years than all the Union Republican Of
ficials. who have held Office in thi.
State. put together have appointed anti
Addicks Republicans in the last eigh
years.
Second-Dr. Ball has not misrepre
sented the Union Republican party o
any other party. and we again chal
lenge the Union Republican to produc
its evidence.

eye through Republican glasses. He
wonld like to represent this district in
the lower House. There are one OF
two other Republicans who think they
can overcome the small Democratic
majority OF this district
It is reported that Samuel NJ. Knox
is a candidate for denomination to the
State Senate. This lis not true, Mr.
Knox having declined to allow the use
of his name. He could be elected with
ease, but, despite this and the urgent
request of his friends to serve another
term. he has refused. George w.
Sparks probably viii be the candidate.
Alfred d. Vandever, former coroner
thinks his chances of again presid-
ing over the morgue are good. Per-
haps Ferris Giles, his deputy, has de-
signs on his former position. Vande-
yer can talk politics and HISTORY at the

both say that he won't be knee-high
