LINCOLN REpuBLIcAss


During the week several of the
bishops and many of the leading men
CT the great Methodist Episcopal
church have been in Lincoln to at
tend the meeting of the Freedman's
Aid and Southern Educational society.
These men have been an interesting
study for Tie Independent. In the
first place many OF them are men OF
wide scholarship, and in the second
place they are honest and striving for
the attainment of high ideals. All
that, 1t is pleasure to say, not sim
ply in Complimentary way, but be-
cause it is true.
The first thing noticeable was that
one of the bishops made political
speech and advised the people to vote
the republican ticket. He paid high
compliments to Roosevelt and said to
vote for him, not seeming to compre-
bend that to vote for Roosevelt was to
vote for all the republican party
stands for.
Among the leaders present were sew
eral highly educated colorea men.
These colored leaders of the church
fine manners, and some OF them emil
nent orators. But when they came to
Lincoln every hotel in this city, where
there is about 1900 republican ma
jority for the party for which the
bishop advised his hearers to vote, re-
fused to give entertainment to, or al
low any one of these educated, refined
colored men to enter their doors. Not
one of them had applied for any en-
tertainment, for they were true gen.
tlemen and adverse to thrusting their
presence upon any person who did not
wish to receive them. :
Then another of the bishops in a
speech denounced the action of the
hotel-keepers, announced his belief in
the doctrine that all men were created
equal and declared that God had Gre
ated all men of one blood This bish-
Op went on to say that in the south
there were thousands OF noble white
men who had been giving all the aid
they could to the uplifting OF the col
Ored race.
Another speaker declared that there
were colored physicians in the south
who had large numbers Of patients
among the white people. Would these
northern men, who call themselves
Abraham Lincoln republicans tie
men who organized a republican club
by that name in this city during the
last presidential campaign, think of
doing that sort of thing? ssfAfs
TO man who fought along With
John Brown, who canvassed for
Abraham Lincoln. who greeted the
Emancipation Proclamation with
thanks to God, the advice of the
bishop to vote the republican ticf
sounded strangely out of harmony
with the acts of that party and the
persecution it visits upon the very
highest and best of the colored race.

about politics knows that it has been

Judge Overs ran on a straight pop
ulist ticket and received over 10000
votes, the fact was not mentioned in
the Associated press dispatches at all.
The Independent had to wait until
the local Colorado papers arrived be-
lore any information concerning the
populist vote could be obtained. No
word has yet been received concerning
the populist vote in Iowa or any other
state and will not be until the week.
lies arrived or the official tabulated
vote is made public about the first of
rext January. What the peoples par
ty needs more than any other thing is,
first, national party paper going in
to every precinct in the United States
and then county papers from which
the news of general interest to all
can be gathered. Plutocracy planned
well when it started out to destroy
the pOpulist press and build up other
papers in its own interest in their
stead, by giving them large amounts
Of bank. trust and protectionist ad-
vertising.

What becomes of the 100000 600
more of wealth that is shipped out of
this country than is shipped in. has
long been puzzle to the economists.
Inc republicans, and especially Secre-
tary Shaw, insist that We can only get
rich by sending more wealth out of
the country than is brought in. Of
course balance must be struck some
ho Il
excess OF imports are not given away,
but just how they are paid for it what
has been the puzzle. Tourists in Eu-
rope, freight paid to foreign owners
of ships and everything that can be
thought of, when added up, does not
account for it. Lately the answer has
teen found. The goods that are
shipped out are priced at the rate they
are sold to American citizens. but
they are sold to foreigners for from
% to so per cent less. That accounts
for good many millions OF the miss
ing dollars
The Independent has some informa-
ton that is of special interest to la
Dor unions all over the country. 1t

money and a portion OF that money Is

for the republican ticket that has
elected every one of the later republic
can presidents. In the closely con-
tested states of Indiana, Illinois and
several otheT5 the celored vote has
been the determining factor, and yet
that cowardly party has never had
the courage to enforce the laws that
we're put upon the statute book and
in the constitution.
The bishop advised his hearers to
7Ote the republican ticket, and here
in Lincoln where every officer, state
and federal, is republican, they re-
fuse to enforce even the statutes of
this state in regard to colored people.
The following is copy of them:
CHAPTER 14a.-Civil Rights.
1873 Section /. Equal Privil-
eges.) All persons within this
state shall be entitled to full
and equal enjoyment of the .ac-
commodations, advantages, facili-
z ties, and privileges of inns, restau-
rants, public conveyances, barber
shops, theatres, and other places
of amusement; subject only to the
conditions and limitations estab-
lished by law, and applicable alike
to every person. 1885, chap. 104.
Re-enacted 1893, chap. 10.)
1914 Section 2. (Same-Penal-
ty.) Any person who shall violate
the foregoing section by denying
to any person, except for reasons
by law applicable to all persons,
:. the full enjoyment of any of the
ACCOMMODATIONS, advantages. fa-
Il cilities, or privileges enumerated
in the foregoing section, or by
aiding ,dor melting such denials,
shall for each. offense be deemed
guilty of misdemeanor and be
fined lin any sum not less than
twenty-five dollars $3.50 nor more
than one hundred dollars $4,000
and to pay the costs of the prose-
clgtipn.
This act has been -adjudicated and
pronounced constitutional by the SUI
preme court of the state as will be
seen by. the following note which is
appended to the above chapter in the
compiled statutes of the state:
Chap. LA. IAN act to provide that
all persons shall be entitled to the
same civil rights, to punish all
persons for violations of it's pro-
visions, to repeal" ETC., chap. la,

If party insanity ever had better
demonstration than in the occurren-
cies above narrated, The Independent
never heard of it. The Methodists
and the colored people themselves
will continue here in Lincoln to "vote
Ter straight and the party followers
will continue to call themselves
Abraham Lincoln republicans"

Rave given special privileges to the
few who have accumulated many MIL
lions and scattered few of these mil

dependent will never advocate such
methods, even il it were certain that
such a course would secure political
victory. 1t would a thousand times
rather be defeated than win In that
way. 1t will still stand Tor justice,

Every department of the govern
ment is full of grafters and thieves,
hut none more SO than the Indian de-
partment. Things on the reservations
are about as bad as they were in the
days Of the old Indian ring during the
time of Grant and which he attempted
to reform by his celebrated peace
policy and giving the churches the
lower to select Indian agents. A ter
rsble story comes from the Blackfoot
agency where the agent has confined
an Indian in Jail for writing a letter
to the department. describing the con-
ditions there. Ten Indians have been
killed there during the year, caused by
whisky sold to them by the govern
ment trader.

nomination of Clarke and they tram

levers TO vote the republican Mark
Hanna ticket by the thousands. All
of which confirms The Independent in
its previous views. There is an ir-
reconeilable conflict between these
two factions OF the party. Especially
Is that true OF the gold wing. Nothing
