The independent. [volume] (Lincoln, Neb.) 1902-1907, 1905-01-26
An interpreter Wanted

tor of The Independent that while he
might not be able to make a speech
in Bostonese, he could read and thor
oughly understand it: He has to take
it all back, and probably will have to
send to Massachusetts for an interpre-
ter to enable him to understand the
~f1rlns--is-~cnre of the New England
papers. The following paragraphs tal-
en- from the Springfield Republican. Is
beyond the ken Of The Independent:
1T gravels the republicans that in
spite of their stories of Tammany dis
Indignation the democratic party in
New lc < city seems to hold quite
firmly by the acknowledged strength
OF the mayor, and Charles Murphy has
taken pains to state that Mr.. McClel-
Ian will be the candidate next fall, and
that "Tammany will stand or fall by
his record in Office"
When the presidential electors of
Tennessee met to cast their ballots for
Parker, they all seemed to be in bad
humor. After the formalities were
gone through with, they held another
ELECTORAL college, and voted for Bry-s
an for president next time. That per-
Torrance led the Charleston News and
Courier to explain, 1T would have been
better for the democratic party il Bry-
an had never been born" All Of
which goes to show that harmony" In
the democratic party even in the south
Is still long ways OF.

The attempt that is being made to
transpose this great nation into debt
collection agency for the benefit of
Gu money loa1era, should be
denounced by every specting
citizen with all the vehemence that he
is capable of. While New York edi-
tor will lick the boots Of any capitalist
and obey the slightest hint that enc
mates from bank, there ought to be
some self respect among editors out
side of the horrible, thieving confines
VI Wall street, who could protest with
tut losing their jobs. One of the New
York editorial monkeys says: 1--WE
must enforce Santo Domingo to pay
Ter debts not only to American citi-
ems, but to the citizens of any country
Who have valid claims. The president
hould be brushing the cobwebs off
he big stick that for some time has
TODD unused behind the door," No
patriotic man wants too see president |
II the United States transformed into |

The immigrant inspectors at New |

and don't know that there
is any difference between a socialist |
and an anarchist. They have sent back
to the old country a man who said
that he was a socialist under that law
that prohibits the entrance into this
country of anarchists. The man de-
ported was boilermaker and there
was no danger that he would become
a public charge. but Commissioner
Rhyan thought that a confession that
he was a socialist was enough to ex-
clude him. The Independent is no adj
mirer of socialism, Dut it would pre-
fer socialist every time to such a
mullet- head official as Rhyan. Perhaps
Rhyan won't let David B Hill land
when he comes back from Europe Hill
not long ago was demanding the col I
lective ownership of mines.
