A Question Of "SIopping Over"

The Independent sets from 70 to 81
galleys (5S TO 40 columns) OF original
and carefully selected matter every
week of the year. In addition to what
the editors write, it has large corps
OF correspondents in practically
every state in the Union-and from the
many hundred papers which the edi-
tors read each week is selected what
is believed will be of interest to it's
readers.
The Independent teaches pOpulism
81 weeks in the year and excels any
other populist paper in the world in
presenting fund OF information anu
argument which enables Independent
readers to wage effective battle for
populist principles. Scarcely any 9TH
er populist paper in Nebraska or else
where says anything about politics,
except in campaign time. Being con-
stantly in touch with active populists
in every part of the United States, The
Independent feels competent to speak
with some degree of accuracy regard
ing the future of populism, and, ac-
cordingly does not feel altogether
grateful for such excuses, intended no
doubt kindly on its behalf, as were
made the other day by E. A. Brown
of the Times-Independent OF Loup
City. Mr.. Brown said:
| Because the Nebraska Independent
stopped over very little bit in its is
sue after the holding of the populist
state convention, because said conven-
ton did not see fit to indorse the &C
ton taken at the Denver conference OF
populists, mid-roaders, free silver re-
publicans, ETC.. the republican papers
are shouting that The Independent has
left the party and that the populist
party is dead. Our contemporary over
OIL the alley informs us that with The
Independent goes all the great lead
ers. There were great leaders enough
in the state convention to defeat the
resolution introduced by tho editors oil
The Independent and furthermore The
Independent says it abides by the rule
of the majority because it believes in {
majority rule. The editor of tht
Northwestern need not think he cal
prejudice the people by reproducing

An Inaccurate Historian

1t may be rather late in the day
to correct inaccuracies in the chron-
icies of populist politics-but better
late than never" The following is
quoted from the Seward Independents
Democrat of August q:
In the populist convention ex-Gov-
ernor POINTER lead a movement to in
dorse the action taken by the Denver
conference, but it was voted down by
a large majority. Among the leaders
of the opposition to Endorsement were
M. F. Harrington of O'Neill, ex-Lieu-
tenant Governor Gilbert of York, Con-
gresham Stark of Aurora and Judge
Sornborger of Wahoo."
Bro. Smiths informant is in error
Or else is an excellent mind-reader
because during the debate on the
resolution seeking to approve the
work of the Denver conference, Judge
Stark took no part whatever, and it is
unfair to charge him with being
among the leaders of the opposition
TO Endorsement. Judge Sornborger
tried to take part, but failed to get
recognition from the chair; but Judge
Stark made no attempt to speak. It
may be, however, that Bro. Smith re-
gafded Hon. F. M. Towards speech
as indicating Judge Stark's position
a sort of Mark Twain and Harris af-
fair.

Editor Independent: My feeble pen
has long been silent You ask in the
paper if we can trust you, and l an
swer: eyes, yes" We will trust you
until our government is once more in
the hands of the people of the country.
| am very sorry to learn that some of
our brothers in Nebraska have played
q trick on the Denver conference. l
am panied to know it, 1t is said that
the peoples party is dead 1t is not
so; it has only been reposing, await
ing the time to do it's good and great
work in the interests of our people.
We don't want any doubling Thorn
asses. We want men who will roll up
their sleeves and go to work. Let us
tell our doubling Thomases that we
have furnished all the reforms to all
the old parties. 1t may take time to
educate the people, but we must break
the ties that have bound us, hand and
foot, for forty years. 1t took 100 years
to wipe out the foulest stain on our
government, to-wit: African slavery.
Let us be as true as the men who
fought for that and go forth and bat
tie for the rights of man.
Our old Omaha platform is grand
enough, great enough for the gods to
stand upon and wide enough and long
enough for every loyal man.

On the Firing Line

Editor Independent: / see SO many
letters in The Independent from the
Old Guard that | cannot refrain from
saying few words of encouragement
to you and the many friends of the
populist party.
1t don't matter where | was born.
am here and on the firing line.
The action of the Denver conference
was all right. The attitude of The
Independent is all right and | wish we
had just such a paper in every state
in the Union.
/ see now that we made mistake.
do not wish it understood that I
fail to appreciate the efforts of Mr..
Bryan and his noble followers to
bring about much needed reform, but
the time is past for reform in the
democratic party. Now is the time to
push the populist party to the front.
There are millions of recruits ready
to join the populist party as soon as
they find that our party intends to
pursue non-fusion course. Republic
cans will not be pulled into the demo-
cratic party on account of prejudice,
neither will democrats go to the re-
publican party for the same reason:
but these recruits are anxious to get
into party which advocates prin-
ciples instead of spOils.

true, when gold certificates are re-
ceived for customs, ETC., the gold de-
post for them remains, but at once IT.
ceases to be part or the trust funds
and becomes at once a part of the gen.
eral fund. If this is true, then the
debt statement under the head OF
Trust Funds" ought to show gold
coin s3S6,369,399 and silver dollars
$454, 1885,, 1892, and under the head of
General Fund" gold coin and bullion
s98, 1898 instead of $72,781 ,408 and
silver dollars $27,966,217 instead OF
s19,246,149. This is what the circula-
ton statement does show.
What is the purpose of this kind OF
bookkeeping? To the casual observer
it might appear to be. Of little conse-
Guence. There is no authority of law
that can, by the most liberal, not to
say violent, Interpretation, be distort-
ed into authority for the secretary OF
the treasury, on his own motion, to
issue certificates against the gold in
the general fund, and transfer any
part of that fund to the trust fund.
When gold is offered, he is author
ized and directed to receive 1t and
ito issue certificates therefor" ETC.,
and not otherwise. There is no au-
tEority of law for the department to
pay out one dollar of such certificates
III any other way, either in the first
instance or on reissue. The $34 49,
538 of certificates shown by the July
debt statement ID be held as part
of the general fund are not, therefore,
available to increase the cash in gem
eral circulation any more than the
general stock of money can be in
creased by issue in the first instance.
The gold and silver coin which these
certificates, carried in the general fund
for July, represent is not part OF
the trust fund, and ought not to be so
reported. There can be no possible
reason for this sort of bookkeeping
except to keep this large amount OF
certificates in such position on the
books that some color of authority can
be assumed for paying out, in the cur
rent business of the department, these
certificates without a deposit of gold
and silver as required by law.
On the same page with the circula-
ton statement is the statement Of pa
per currency outstanding. This is
made to agree with the debt statement,
and shows $34, 438,538 more gold and
silver certificates outstanding than
is shown by the circulation statement
to be 'in circulation" How this $34,-
43S,538 can be outstanding and not in
circulation is senundrum. How the
secretary of the treasury can regard
certificates, that have been paid and
are now in his hands, as demand LA
bilities,' against which he is author
lied to hold a trust fund as though
| they were in circulation and unpaid

THE HAVEN.

Out of the wild hurry burly,
Over the wide stretching miles;
Out of the wrack of the storm beaten
seas,
Into harbor of smiles
Into a haven of necklacing arms
Out of LIES tears and smart,
Into the shine of your true blue eyes,
Heart o my love lorn heartl
Out of the struggle and cark now
As wild as a bird and free,
Winging afar through storm beaten
dark,
Shaping LIES course TO thee;
Into a haven of warm clinging lips,
Life O. my love lorn breastl
Out OF LIES turmoil and jousts and
wounds,
Into your arms and rest
Out of life's kissless goodnights now,
To the ripe red lips o you;
Out oflife's low'ring storm gray skies
To your true, true eyes and blue;
To a haven where, fingers interlaced,
Soul o. my love lorn SOUL
Two, just man and a maid, shall
ait
Alone on a green clad knoll.
Till the westering sun goes down,
And the worlds grim strife shall
cease;
Out of life's scars and cark and rue,
Into your arms and peace!
Out of life's windblown storm fling
wrack,
And the spelling gray above,
To haven of clinginglips and arms
And peace; of perfect love.

For the convenience of the news
paper reporter and to the interest
of the public itwould be good policy
for the Galveston and Gulf Steam
ship Co. to furnish the agent at this
city with a list of the names of pas
sengers that arrive here by the
Manteo. No such list could be OBJ
tanned today from the agent. Per-
haps it is not necessary to keep a
record of such things on the Manteo,
but it usually is on other 6rst-class
steamship lines.
