show, unless they adopt republican
platform and nominate a white
winged can-democratic ticket,
and now. the Miller-Morton crowd are
returning to the club, so as to have
something to sell out in the next cam
paign. Jim Boyd was lieutenant in
the Miller legion, and when he was
seated as governor, he placed the
chairman of the republican state COM
mittee on his staff, with the rank Of
colonel, and Edward Rosewater, Of
the republican national committee,
dictated the appointments, as chief
cook and bottle-washer. 1t was this
same DR.. Miller, who was the head Of
the Omaha Herald, from the territor-
ial days, who used to print tickets
for the whole cowboy end of the state,
and put in the name of the republican
railroad candidate for congress.
Yes, that Old crowd are crawling
back into the democratic ranks again;
and they will probably be hollering
in defense of the Doodle gang that is
now prancing and believing like q
steer on the lariat line thrown out by
the federal court, for selling post

TO INDIANA PoPULIsrs

The Independent is in receipt of
a letter from F. d. Craig and one from
DR.. Van Vorhis anent their differences
regarding the condition Of pOpulism
in Indiana. Both gentlemen have had
their "say'' once on this matter, and
an interminable wrangling over the
question will accomplish nothing at
this time Hence, The Independent
will print neither of these communi-
cations.
1t has been apparent to The Inde-
pendent for some time that Indiana
has rather more than her share of
bright, intelligent, energetic populists,
both "mid-road' and 'fusionist." But
the difficulty seems to be that in the
past there has been rather too much
jealousy manifested by these gentle
men. They have protested that Ind
lana populists want no leaders-yet
each assumes the attitude Of leader
himself and exhibits signs Of jealousy
if any other populist deigns to speak.
Wouldn't it be a good plan, just for
once, to say nothing about the ques-
ton of leadership and let each populist
do whatever he can to disseminate
knowledge of the principles of pop
ulism? In the very nature Of things,
some will probably be better teachers
than others-but so long as each does
his best, the consciousness of a duty
performed to the best of his ability
ought to suffice, without any heart
burnings over which has done the
most
Indiana is ripe now for a revival of
populism. But progress will not be
rapid until these chickering's cease.

THE BRYAN BANQUET

T. d. Worrall, chairman of the Bry-
an banquet committee, has sent out
the following letter of announcement:
Lincoln Neb., Dec. 29.-To the
democrats of Nebraska, Greeting: The
democrats of Lincoln and Lancaster
county have taken the initiative in The
pleasant task of giving a banquet to
Mr.. w. ]. Bryan Immediately upon
his return from his European trip.
During this European tour Mr..
Bryan has been honorod by rulers and
statesmen as no other private AmerI-
can citizen has ever been honored. and
he has, by his manly democratic bear
Ing. reflected credit upon his citizen
ship and upon his fellow citizens.
Loyal democrats, therefore. deem II
only NJ and proper that this splendid
American citizen and great democrat
be honored by his fellow democrats
upon his return lone. and to that
end are arranging q Dollar Dinner"
to be held at the Llndon hotel, l.ln-
coin. on January is. 1904.
II ~ TO be a democratic banquet In

democrats who not only refuse 10
apologize for remaining true 10 the

principles of democracy as enunciated
in the Chicago and Kansas City plat
forms, but who deny with due demo-
cratic emphasis that hey owe any
apology to democrats who deserted
the party during those campaigns and
lent their aid and comfort to the
enemy.
While standing ready at all times
to welcome the wandering and erring
ones back to the democratic fold upon
sufficient evidence that in future they
purpose supporting tie democratic
ticket, the democrats who are arrang
ing for this banquet to democracy's
gallant leader decline to step aside to
make room at the family table Tor
those who betrayed the household OF
the faith.
While it is true that the departing
ten tribes of Israel marched forth
with the gaudiest banners and the
loudest sounding of timbrel and Tyre,
1t is equally true that the ark of the
covenant remained with the tribe Of
judah.
The ark of the democratic covenant
remains in the household of the faith
full, and they are cordially invited 10
gather on the evening of January Is,
1904, to again renew their faith in
democratic principles and gain
strength for the forthcoming struggle
for control of this republics affairs.

state. It's platform is liberal"
enough. Why not let the four or five
millions Mr.. Baylor speaks Of give
this party boost? The peoples par
ty grew up because of economic con-
ditions. 1t will remain in the field as
long as these economic conditions re-
quire reform. But it has nothing to
do with a warfare between different
religious factions.
&SSS$S&
When the ''redeemers took possess
sion of the state offices in January,
1901, they found a state debt of ST..
727,44772. Mckinley prosperity"
was at high tide. The corn cribs were
overfowing. Today-after three short
years of redemption Nebraska
farmer finds himself bound hand and
foot by the three big railroads, while
the same old gang of treasury looters
is rifiing his corn crib. The state debt
las been increased $535, 729.49 in three
years. Taxes are running sky-high.
The legislatures of 1901 and 1903
made total appropriations of $6,6l5,-
56921 for the "redeemers" to spend
in four years-or $1,638,352.21 more
than the populists had for similar
period. Yet people wonder why taxes
are high and why the state debt in
creases.

Inc nrSt amendment TO the Ieuerdl
constitution reads as follows:
Congress shall make no law
respecting an establishment of re-
figion, or prohibiting the free ex-
ercise thereof; or abridging the
freedom of speech, or of the press;
or the right of the people peacea-
bly, to assemble, and to petition
the government for redress OF
grievances"
The Independent can see no good
reason for singing out this one
amendment and making it cardinal
principle of populism" to the exclu-
sion c1 other amendments or other
proyisl6 us of the constitution. Has
Mr.. Baylor in mind any law which
congress has made respecting an es-
tablishment of religion?" The new
ahti-anarchist law seems to contra
vene the second clause regarding the
abridgement of the freedom of speech;
anu Iui1uS VI 1lOOSCVClI dAu tAC
postmaster general denies postal en-
ployes the right to petition the gov
ernment for a redress of grievances"
Every individual has his hobby
which, to him. seems the dominant
issue of the age" 1t may be single
tax, government ownership, free
thought" or what not. But when he
and his fellow men meet in a body to
take definite action upon some propo-
sition on which all are agreed, and
thereby give expression to the voice
ol Cod" it seldom happens that any
individual gets everything his own
WY.
The Independent favors free
thought, free speech, free press, and
free men. 1t never excludes a COM
munication (if there is space for it)
which gives evidence of an earnest de-
sire on the part of the writer to bet
ter the condition of mankind--no mat
ter if completely at variance with the
editorial views of the paper.
Making war upon some particular
sect or religious body, or upon all
sects or religious bodies. as The In
dependent views it, would accomplish
the very end which Mr.. Baylor seeks
to avoid. Political parties-and the
government itself finally-would have,
instead of an economic foundation,
one based upon religious belief, .and
ultimately result in virtual, if not
literal, law respecting an establish
ment of religion" and prohibiting
the free exercise thereof"
Mr.. Baylor's conception of a su-
preme being, or how he wants to wor-
ship it, if at all, is his own personal
affair. Populism has nothing to do
with it. Ones belief in a GOO does
not determine his economic condition
primarily, but quite the reverse-and
political parties, as The Independent
views it, have to do with economic
questions, not religious ones.
Are those four or five millions of
"enrolled liberal and Tree thought
voters as liberal and as free think
ing as Mr.. Baylor seems to think
AS matter of fact, aren't most of
them aching for scrap" with some
religious body? The Independent
doesn't think it right to "summarlly
throw away any votes but, on the
other hand, 1t does believe In adopt
ing an honest policy and making no
bid for votes by some catch-phrase
which In the last analysis means moth
ing. Among populists who subscribe
10 the fundamental declarations of
the Omaha platform there are men of
all shades of religious belief. One

BRILLIANT NEW FEATURES.
Introducing Mons. Hubert, La Famille
Lecusson. the Hungarian Hagyars
and the Eddys.

To slightly change an old metaphor,
the management of the Great Fore
paugh and Sells Brothers United Shows
don't seem to have let the sawdust
hamper their feet in hustling to pro-
cure the newest and most attractive Of
genuine arenic features. For instance,
ION the Way to the Grand Prix Race,
Paris" is the title under which La
Famiile Lecusson introduces those orig
inai combined four-in-hand and park
raj bareback and acrobatic perform
ances which are claimed to be the only
entirely new equestrian feats introduce
ed in h circus ring for at least fifty
years., n which for continuous mounts
attracted attendance and
u~nbounded applause in critical Paris,
France, whence they come to now make
their first appearance in this country.
Hungary contributes The @Szarvasi
Frencz Troupe of min male and female
Magyar opponents of wild acrobatic in
novations, emotional dances and mystic
melodies peculiar to a race whose origin
is lost in the dim of the past.
Their performances are said to be now
for the first time to be seen outside of
their native land. Mons. Hubert also
comes from Europe to astonish us with
what may well be termed prodigious
acts of strength and dexterity. In
these. after exceedingly difficult feats
of juggling, holding a sulky high in
air by the thills, he leaps with it from
the ground to the back Of his running
horse, and also has the face to balance
a park cart on his chin.
To the forty-odd clowns who make
things SO laughably lively under the
big top I've been added the four male
and female Martineks, who enjoy the
reputation of being the most tickling
of foreign fun-makers. Then there will
be forthcoming the Eddy Family, who
need no eulogistic introductioI2 either
at home or abroad, presenting for the
first time their new and Originals thrill
ing n graceful aerial stage acrobatic
act. All of which are in the program
Of a hundred acts to be seen here
