The City OF Neglect.
CONTRIBUTED

CONTRIBUTED
One day wandered on the hill,
Where lie the loved OF old
Where troubled not by grief or i'll,
They slumber meath the mould.
The silent voices OF the dead
Called to me from the years
And that was in the message dread
That filled my eyes with tears.
Across the sluggish winding stream
| saw the haunts of men
Where life and purpose reign supreme,
The dead as naught to them.
Where was the evidence OF love?
In granite proud and gray:
Did not the grass grown unllempt paths
All tell of loves decay?
Where is the ceaseless care ye told
When We laid your dead away:
Has earthly love no stronger hold
That it withers in day?
Are glory, pomp and selfish ease
The sum of life for thee
Have We no time or thought for these
Who gave their lives for theet
Does not the city of the dead
Cry shame upon neglect?
Are short lived signs and brief bowed head
The most they may expect?
This was the message sad and dread
From off the wind swept hill
Does it appeal to heart or head?
viii We neglect them still:

Editor Independent: General Miles
report of conditions in the Philip

Kinley's and Mr.. Roosevelts admin
istrations, the republican party, and
the, hypocritical political, commercial
and religious press that has sustained
them in their policy as infamous b..

If all the cruelty of African slavery
and the slave-trade Of the Spanish
inquisition, OF Weyler in Cuba, and
the British in South Africa, were
blotted together on the page of his
tory it would be but as fly speck in
comparison with the horrors of the
United States benevolent assimila-
ton" of the Philippine islands, if
what the general of the army reports
is true. And no man can doubt it.
There is not law of God or man, a
precept of morality or sentiment of
humanity but what has been ruthless
ly and Systematically violated. Take

ing rendered insensible by torture,

people into one house in the province
of Batangas where many of them un-
derwent the fate of the British in the

does at an enormous profit by United
States army officers. The whipping to
death of Filipinos for refusal to be-
tray others into the hands of the

Q CLEVELAND OR OLNEY
The New York Sun Quotes Harper's
Weekly on This Mooted Poins

For the benefit of Independent read
ers who are not readers of the New
York Sun, Harper's Weekly and that
class of gold-bug publications, we re-
produce an editorial from the Weekly
discussing the comparative available
ity of Cleveland and Olney. The mani
fest injustice to Mr.. Bryan-boldly
suggesting that his choice of demo-
cratic candidate would be determined
by his probable chances Of securing a
cabinet position-is quite in keeping
with plutocratic democracy, which
cannot conceive that any one could
rise above sordid selfishness. The
Weekly falls into the same error that
many other eastern papers do re-
garding the strength Of the peoples
party. Because of fusion, election re-
turns do not show how many thou
sand populists cast their votes for
Bryan and Stevenson, and what the
Weekly calls the populist strength is
simply the vote of the bolting mid
readers. Let democracy nominate Mr..
ulist party "has practically ceased to
exist" Harper's Weekly says:
"Mr. Bryan seems to be personally
unfriendly to Mr.. Cleveland, and he
has repeatedly intimated to his Com
moner that he would resist to the ut
most the denomination of the ex-
president. Perhaps he foresees also
that he could not hope for any rec
ognition ON the part Of Mr.. Cleveland,
should the latter be reelected presi-
dent, whereas it is by no means i'm
probable that Mr.. Olney would in
vite him to become member of the
cabinet M sr.-
"After all. however, Mr.. Bryan's
wishes are not of very much import
ance, because it is no longer probable
that his followers will constitute a
third of the next democratic national
convention, and because, in no event,
would he be able to bolt and accept

among all civilized nations. The rav-
ishing of'women and young girls. The
wholesale burning and iooting OF
towns. The laying waste of whole
provinces.
General Miles report shows conclu-
sively why 10000 copies of the Dec
laration of independence translated
into the language of the Filipinos wer:.
ordered burned by the press censor at
Manila. That this war is being car
ried on against Christian people, AMI
that we are making use of Moham-
medan and Pagan cannibals as allies
in carrying il on, ought to convince
decent people of it's character. Our
Six hundred American soldiers build
ing roads in the Philippines-our
American soldiers making roads for
Macabebes and Nigritos. Is it any
wonder, under such conditions. that
they drink and go mad and commit
crimes that would shame the blacklist
fiends in hell?
Talk of hell! Dante in his widest
dreams, Calvin in his gloomiest i'm
literal birthstone hell to equal that
which the United States government
is carrying on, wide open with the
lid off under a republican administra-
tion in the Philippines! What with
our hell-roaring, burn, kill and ravish
generals in the field; our mercenary
and unparalleled government at Wash
ington, and an equally mercenary re-
ligious pulpit and press upholding the
governments policy throughout the
country, the United States has suf-
fered more in it's good name and in
it's national character for love OF fair
dealing, liberty, and humanity than in
all it's previous history. Tilly was not
one whit more cruel at Magdeburg.
Nor yet Titus at Jerusalem.
y, We have outdone the unspeakable
Turk in his Armenian blttcheries, and
to make our deeds more infamous have
done it all in the name of ciyillza-
ton, Christianity and benevolence.
/ I will not speak of the cost OF this
war in dollars and cents. It's real
cost is in national honor morals and
public health. We are taking our pa7
in Asiatic. cholera, the bubonic plague,
and in loathsome and incurable ven
eral diseases: in corrupt, brutalized
and degraded army; and in a gov
ernment incapable of telling the truth.
For two years the government has
been assuring the people that the
war in the Philippines was over and
that the administration was only de-
vising means of establishing fre'5
land stable government in the islands.
And yet within the last week we have
the story through the Associated press
of the. killing of two hundred Filipinos
| in the island of LuZon with the usual
absence of casualties on our side. III
the name of God and humanity is it
not time that this senseless, cruel and
profitless war should end?

populist nomination. since the pop
ulist party has practically ceased TO
exist, having shrunk in ten years from
upward of a million to about twenty
thousand votes. Mr.. Bryan and his
friends will have to support the demo-
cratic nominee, whoever he is, unless
they repudiate the duty about Wh1cn
they had so much to say in 1896 and
19OO-namely, the duty of submitting
to the choice of the party's represen-
tatiyes.
I'VE may, then, for the sake OF ar
gument, disregard Mr. Bryan's per-
sonal preference, as the convention
will be likely to do, and confine our
selves, as the convention will con-
fine itself, to the question OF availa-
bility. From this point OF view Mr.
Olney is scarcely satisfactory. he
would not have the faintest chance OF
carrying his native state. He might
possibly win Rhode Island, but we
could have no assurance that he would
gain Connecticut, whereas we know
that Mr.. Cleveland has repeatedly car
ried the last-named state. He would
be much less likely than Mr.. Cleveland
to capture New Jersey, because local
pride would greatly assist his former
chief. There is no reason to suppose
that he would run better, in New
York than would Cleveland because
the latter has twice carried that state
against the wishes of Tammany Hall,
and in 1904 he could count upon the
cordial support Of that organization.
Either of the two candidates named
would no doubt sweep all of the south
ern states, with the possible excep-
tions of Maryland and West Virginia.
AS regards the pivotal states of the
middle and far west, however, it must
be owned that Mr.. Cleveland would
have the immense advantage of being
we'll known to the voters. Indeed,
he is probably better known to the
mass of the electorate than Is any
other citizen of the United States. Mr..
Olney is, by comparison, a stranger.
In tens of thousands of constituencies
it would be needful for stump-speak-
ers to explain who he is. That is a
handicap which the democratic party
in a desperate crisis of it's fortunes
can hardly afford.
"The crucial question is, however,
what democrat is able not only to
carry New York, but also Connecticut,
New Jersey, Indiana and Illinois, in
asmuch as the electoral votes of at
least all of those states will probably
be indispensable. Now, there is only
one democrat alive who has ever car
ried those five states. and that man is
Grover Cleveland. Mr.. Bryan did not
carry one of them. 1t is, we admit.
conceivable that Mr.. Olney. with Mr..
Bryan's active assistance, might Sc
cure in those five states some votes
that would be withheld from his
former chief; but, on the other hand.
Mr.. Cleveland. through the influence
of his robust personality and the
eclat of his previous ti'iumphs, would
seem more likely to attract votes

1T is, perhaps, just as well that
Mr.. Olney's candidacy should have
been seriously mooted at this time.
for We cannot begin too early to can
vass his qualifications and those of
his competitors, in view of the tre-
mendous Importance of the next cam
paign to the democratic party and to
the country"

TOOK TOO MUCH

The railroad magnates saw that
there was lots of money in the i'm
mense., water power at Minneapolis
and they said to themselves, "The peo-
pie who live there shall not have that
money. We will take all the profits
OF the great water power ourselves"
1t was an easy thing for them to do.
They just raised the rates on flour to
three and half times what it was
for wheat and that did the business.
But it seems that they overdid it.
That left no profit to the men who
ran the largest Touring plant in the
world, producing $4,000 barrels of -four
every week and these men shut down
the mills and quit, because to grind
wheat, although they did it by water
power, was % grind at loss. Then
the railroads graciously promised a re-
duction SO that the miliers could grind
wheat without loss and they started
UP their mills again. The reduction
has not yet been made.
What the railroads did to the mil
leTS, they can do to anybody else.
Every sort Of business is at their
mercy. In this case they made mis-
take and took more than the traffic
would bear, SO they had to modify
their greed. When they only take
just what the traffic will bear they
get along swimmingly. The men pay
it, make no protest and continue to
vote 'er straight" But the railroads
grow more greedy as the years pass
by. They make closer estimates on
what the traffic will bear and then
collect every cent Of it. 1t is very
seldom that they make rates so as
to stop business altogether, yet that
happens more frequently all the time.
1t may be that after a while these
men who are paying will find out
that If the government owned the
roads they would only have to pay the
actual cost of carriage. 1t takes them
such long time to find it out that
the only conclusion one can come to
concerning it is that they are very
obtuse.
