Cabinet Despotism.

Secretary Root plays deSpot with a
nonchalance that no cabinet ministry
in all Europe dare initiate. A state
ment of the cost Of the Philippine war
has been demanded of him by con-
greSS and he refuses to make it. Such
an act as that would cause a revolution
in any European government. The
English house of commons asked for a
statement of the South African and
Chinese wars and it was made within
q very few days. The frivolous excuse
of Roots that he had kept no separate
accounts of the wars we have been
waging, first in Cuba and Porto Rico,
then in China and the Philippines,
was accepted as perfectly satisfactory
by trucking majority in the house.
The war in the Philippines has cost
the people of this country some mill
ions OF dollars. The men who pay
the money out of their hard earnings
have right to know the exact
amount. But Secretary Root refuses
to give them the information. TIC
any protest against such deSp9tic
action the reply is made: "Well what
are you going to do about it?"-Neb-
raSka independents.

Luxurious Train.

The Rock Island has done it. The
desires of the travelling public have
been anticipated. An Observation
Pullman has been added to the equip
ment of the colorado Flyer" This
new equipment has just been turned
out of the Pullman shops and is the
best that can be secured. Rich in up
holstering, elegant in appointments,
comfortable and having all modern
-convenienceS, reading room, smoking
room, ladies parlor, etc, it makes the
Rock Island Colorado Flyer the ideal
train going to Colorado.
With an Observation Pullman, the
Colorado Flyer, becomes pre-emi-
nently the best train to take between
Kansas City and Colorado points.
Leaving Kansas City in the cool of
the evening, at6:30 p. M, the traveller
can secure supper "a Ia carte" in the
dining car, view the beautiful valley
of the Kaw from the observation
parlor, enjoy refreshing nights rest,
breakfast in the diner and reach Den
yer at HOO o'clock In the morning.
This is the fastest train to Colorado,
arriving at Denver four hours earlier
than any other line. Returning the
Flyer leaves Denver at 800 p. M, and
reaches Kansas City at $3.50 o'clock
the next morning. The ride through
Colorado in both directions being
made in the daylight, and in connec-
tion with the Observation Pullman,
will give the best possible advantage
of viewing Pixies Peak and the Rocky
Mountains as well as providing a
most delightful ride.

have called them all the vile names in

were wild-eyed bewhiskered idiots;
you have clasSed them as peStilence,
along with grasShoppers, chinch bugs

all this and more from you in every

you came into the county, and yet you

If you were of sufficient Importance
for them to pay any attention to at
all, they would vote the democratic or
any ticket if it were only to spite you.
But you do not cut that much ice.
They are not going to vote any ticket
however but their own. the populiSt
ticket, the ticket they helped to nomi-
nate, unless indeed your party by an
infamous election law, and partisan
interpolation of the same by a repub-
llcan supreme court refuses to give
them a place upon the ballot. In that
case they may be compelled to vote
for the men they nominated and the
principle they promulgate under an
other name. But you may rest as
sured that they will not vote for a
party that forced them off the official
ballot. And in this county it may be
added, they will not vote with party
that bows down to as INSCRIPTIONS a

State Superintendent Frank Nelson
not only voted with the two populist
member of the text book commission
against the book trust, but he led the
fight against the monopoly and in
favor of Kansas made books. The re-
publican state convention which met
a few days later turned Mr.. Nelson
down even though it was compelled
to pick up a third rate county superin-
tendent named Dayhoff to knock him
out with. The latter has no special
qualifications for the office, unless the
fact that he is a creature of Billy
Morgans-always ready to do the bid
ding of boss Cy Leland can be counted
as one. And yet they tell us that the
republican bosses are opposed to
trusts!

Lives Lost in the Boer War.

More. than 200, O0O persons lost their
lives On both sides of the conflict in
South Africa.
Three hundred thousand men,
woman, and children comprised the
population of the South African Re
public and Orange Free State when
the war began. Although it is i'm
possible to get the exact figures, it is
estimated that the survivors of the
conflict number only about 1S4, 600
persons, the death list therefore,
numbering 10000. OF the survivors
are congregated in the British con-
centration camps; $4,000 men are
prisoners Of war in the hands of the
British, while II, 600 soldiers will quit
the field as result of the signing of
the terms of surrender.
Boer leaders who were in a position
to know have never given out the
the actual or even approximate num-
Der of their compatriotS in arms.
British officers however, have sought
information from prisoners and from
natives of South Africa who had pen
etrated the Boer lines and their eSti-
mate of the total number of Boer
soldiers is $4,000. This however may
be in excess Of the actual number of
able-bodied men in the ranks.
In order to crush this seemingly in
significant force it has required $685.
600 British soldiers, aided by the most
modern arms and accoutrements.
The British losses have been far in
excess of those of the Beers, the latest
report of the foreign office in London
showing total deaths of 22,2O1, of
whom 1,O63 were officers and q, 1873
were privateS in the ranks.
Altogether, however, the British
sustained losses affecting 1O5, 628 men.
OF these the rest were either killed in
battle or died of their wounds.
