NEW WEBSTER STORIES
Not the Late Lamented Daniel but
 the AdolesCent Noah (.

N. C. Webster is the most popular man in Los Angeles. That is the con clusiOn arrived at by Frank Moss, who recently went bankrupt against MT. Webster's reputation. MT. Moss had a sub contract from Marshal McCord, who is engaged in the rapidly growing business of exporting Chinameu, and in the course or his labOrs found himself in Los Angeles. Los Angeles is peOpled mainly by those who make their for tunes in Arizona and go over to the coast to spend the money, so a Phoenix man can't go very far in that village without meeting somebody he knows. The first familiar spirit that Mr. Moss met accOsted him as follows: "Hel- To, Web, when did you cut off your whiskers?' Don't say anything about it" replied MT. Moss, "and I'll buy" The news that MT. Webster was in town, in disguise, worked it's way through the Phoenix colony like skip pers through a cheese and when MT. Moss left town he was all in but his railroad ticket. He says there will be no profit in handling Chinese for the coast trade, until the railroads build spur around Los Angeles.
 MT. Webster is so popular that ev- erybOdy feels sort of a proprietary interest in him while some even go so far as to assume the responsibility of guardianship. F. w. Tbode is one of these. Yesterday he called MT. Web ster to one side and told him -conAden- tially that he was being watched and advised him that if he had any irreg- ular plans or projects in mind he had better bring them to an issue as soon as possible. Mir. Webster appeared somewhat agitated and asked MT. ThOde from what quarter he was like ly to be interfered with. MT. Thode then told him that the city council would pass a curfew ordinance at the next meeting and that already the po- lice had been instructed to keep their eyes on him.

French
 Novelties

Quaint, unique anu decidely for eign are these novelties from Paris, which include an almost endless variety of Brooches, Belt Pins, Rib bon Pins, Shirt Waist Sets, Belt Buckles and Hat Pins in both the straight and auto styles.
 To describe these goods on paper would be almost impossible as there are sC many entirely different kinds and they are not at all like the us uaI alleged jewelry.
 Prominent among them may be seen representations of flowers, birds and insects peculiar to France and Germany, besides hundreds of JeWeled articles representing dia- monds, pearls, turquoise, emeralds, IUbies, etc.
 If you wish to send some distant friend a remembrance that will be very welcome and which at the same time may be easily sent by mail, just look through this show ing.
 The prices are surprisingly low considering the quality.

The independent., 1904-01-14

Democrat in this city and his power
as an editor is shown by the fact that
when the question came up Of whe-
ther the city should own the water
works system, he espoused the cause
Of city ownership and won out in a
republican stronghold against the bit
ter opposition of the republican daily.
In 1902 he received a flattering COM
plimentary vote for the fusion nomi-
nation for governor.
In recent years up to his confinement
by illness at home, General Vifquain
was frequent visitor at The Indepen-
dent editorial rooms; and the result
of every visit and conversation with
him was the inspiration Of some edi-
torial or article which tended to make
The Independent better and stronger
paper. Not infrequently he contrib
uted signed articles also; but he was
rever a man to rush into print upon
slight pretext, simply to see his name
in capital letters.
The pioneer, statesman, and soldier
is dead; but his memory will long be
enshrined in the hearts of those who
knew him and loved him.

Andrew Rice. Neigh, Neb., an es-
teemed subscribed of The Independent,
upon renewing his subscription the
other day wrote us:
"Try the name National for the
populist party. We must get up a
new party if we ever accomplish
anything that is worth having.
Don't let us keep on barking up
this old pop gum tree Tor the

The Independent is opposed to any
change of party name or any radical
departure from the principles enun-
ciated at Omaha In 1892, There has
been but one valid reason given thus
far for n change of name. And that
is this: Persons who have hereto

LEGAL TENDER

Mr.. Tibbles' experience on Wall
street with a scratched silver dollar,
calls to mind the fact that there is
much misunderstanding as to the ex-
tent of legal tender" Captain Ash
by went into that matter fully in his
Money and the Taxing Power"
AS Captain Ashby pointed out, the
power of tender applies only in the
public offices and in the courts. Coined
money passes from hand to hand in
ordinary business transactions by the
voluntary act of those engaged in
making the exchanges-an not be-
cause there is any law compelling one
man to offer or another to accept any
particular thing. Every man en-
Gaged in ordinary business in New
York has an undoubted legal right to
refuse a scratched silver dollar Of
fered him in exchange for anything he
may have to sell. He has the same
right to refuse a torn greenback or a
scratched gold piece. OF course, it
requires, something bordering upon
conspiracy "in restraint of trade" to
get all the business men il partic-
ular locality to refuse to accept in ex-
change a silver dollar because it has
some slight scratch upon it.
There might be Some way Of reach
ing the culprjts for spiracy-but
there is nothing in the law of legal
tender to prevent them. In fact, the
legal tender power of silver dollar
is subject to the exception, EXCEPT
where otherwise stipulated in the con-
tract" And these Wall streeters
"stipulate" that scratched silver dol
lars will not go!

GENERAL yIFQUAIN

Death has claimed another Nebras-
ka pioneer and taken from the scene
Oh earthly strife that grand old SOL
der and statesman, Victor Vifquain.
Although man of national reputa-
ton, both as soldier and diplomat, his
loss to Nebraska and the nation can
not be measured by the numbers who
will mourn his death; for General
Vifquain was not man to seek cheap
notoriety. A thorough soldier, he bore
his honors with becoming grace, and
sought no opportunity to SHOW off,
and take advantage of the effects pIo-
duced upon the multitude by a sight
Of the trappings of war.
General Vifquain was true states
man, and frequently astonished his
friends by his remarkable memory and
grasp upon world politics. His long
experience as a an editor and news
paper man, and later service in diplo-
matte ircles-representing the United
States at Panama-gave him not only
a comprehensive knowledge of the
worlds affairs, but also furnished him
vast amount of details, which the
ordinary man, uIblesse1 with such a
good memory, would hive soon for
gotten.
He has the distinction of being the
only soldier in the war of the rebel
lion who was voted a gold medal by
congress for bravery upon the field of
action. At the close OF the war he
outranked General Miles, and might
have been at the head OF the army. if
he had not preferred to return to the
piow, like the renowned Roman be-
fore him. 1t will be remembered that
h. accepted lieutenant coonclcy in
the Third Nebraska regiment. under
MI. Bryan; and later. upon Mr.. Bry-

derisiyely 1t is true, but nevertheless
in response to necessity for some
convenient term TO designate a mem-

words have now become fixtures in
the English larguage. People gener-
ally understand what they mean A
new party name will require a number
Of years before it's nomenclature be-

is not good, because a member of such
party would say, II am nationalist"
thus confusing him with the followers

variety of ways.

pendent very well. 1t IS a "populist"
