The independent. [volume] (Lincoln, Neb.) 1902-1907, 1905-03-02

Readers of The Independent will re-
member how often, when the supreme
court hands down it's ;mperialistic
opinions, that itucalled attention TO the
fact that the supreme court of the
United States had never, since its es-
Enlistment, given decision against
the party in power. When the pro-
slavery party held the government, all
it's decisions were pro-slavery. When
the government became anti-slavery,
all its decisions were anti-slavery.
When the government was for green
backs, all it's decisions upheld that
kind of money. When bankers got
control of the government, greenbacks
were unconstitutional. 1t is the same
way with the minor courts. When
Mark Hanna was the government, all
the court decisions ran toward uphold
ing the trusts. For the last few weeks,
since Roosevelt has given indications
of attacking the trusts, the decisions
are against them A decision against
the trusts has been rendered in Illinois
and in Kansas during the last week.
If Roosevelt keeps brandishing his big
stick, we shall have more of them. If

NATIVES
ARE NOT
UIqLANDHRS
THE GOVERNOR SAYS THEY HAVE
BEEN AMERICANIzED FOR a
LONG TIME. "a

Under the heading of "Hawaiians not
Uitlanders," Governor Carter writes
as follows in his annual report:
"There is a prevalent Impression that
the Hawaiian Islands must have under
gone a marked change during the five
years since they became an integral
part of the Union. Few people realize
that before the opening of California
or the discovery of gold Honolulu was
a distributing point for provisions and
mail for the entire Western coast Of
the North American continent. Many
of the hardy pioneers of that great re-
gion, then called Oregon found it more
convenient to reach the northwest via
Honolulu then to undertake the tedious
and dangerous pilgrimage across the
continent. Throughout the broad eX-
panse of the Pacific Ocean-one might
almost say the whole Western Henri
sphere-the first school to teach the
English language was founded at Van
couver Barracks, in the State of Wash
ington and the second in Honolulu, the
latter being considered the more cen
trally located Of the two.
Thus for decades past the predo-
minant ideals of the people were Anne
rican. The laws, schools, churches,
and elections were modeied on Ameri-
can systems. The Yankee spirit DOM
mated industrial enterprises and IN
fused itself into everything, so that the
| changes brought by annexation were
not abrupt or so extensive as is gen.
orally supposed"

PRESIDENTS FAREWELL.
RoseveIt,s Visit to New Orleans
Brings His Pleasant Trip Through
the South to an End.

At the end Of nine strenuous hours
Of varied entertainment In New Or
leans, which brought his exceptionally
pleasant trip through the south to
close. President Roosevelt at $50
O'Clock Thursday night, boarded the
lighthouse tender Magnolia and later
went aboard the armored cruiser west
Virginia, which lay at anchor OH the
mouth Of the river to receive him.
For four days he will be absent fros1
American soil, which has never mere
tofore happened to a president during
his incumbency, but through the
mems of wireless telegraphy 1t ls
promised that he will be seldom Out
Of communication with the shore, and
there is no reason to doubt that the
staunch vessel in which he is TO
travel will carry him safely to mis-
Journeys end-the national capital.
The presidents New Orleans re
ception was a signal testimonial OF
popular esteem and of grateful recog-
milton of the service which he hal
rendered the city in her period OF
stress. New Orleans remembered not
only that the president had acted with
characteristic promptness when asked
to put the federal surgeons In charge
of the fever struggle, but that
throughout the fight he had sustained
the people of the stricken city with
expressions of unfailing sympathy, and
when a large share of the public opln-
ion of the country opposed his ven
turing into New Orleans with the re-
yer still prevalent, he refused to con-
slider the element of personal danger
and declared his purpose to keep the
promise he made when he accepted
the original invitation.
Probably for the first time in his
public career the president was com
PEELED to abandon public address
| before he had got well started on 1t.
It was contemplated that the military
and civic parade should pass In re-
view before the president at the city
| hall, but the crowd which gathered
| at this point was so tremendous that
neither the police nor the troops were
| able to move it, and the president
foreseeing a possible catastrophe, II
the event Of a panic, finally gave up
the attempt to speak and left the
platform.
When he decided to abandon his ct
| fort he shouted to the throng to &C
home and be good citizens, and then
| disappeared into the mayors parlors
well nigh exhausted. To those about
| him he expressed himself as immense
| ly pleased with the demonstration in
bis honor.
The climax of the days entertain
ment was the luncheon, which started
shortly after o'clock, and was pro
longed fifteen minutes beyond the
time set for it, as a result of the
continuous ovation given to the pres
ident-

PAN|CKY in RUSSIA
Cars Troops Given Orders
to Shoot to Kill.
WILD REIGN OF TERROR
Strikers Close Electric Plants and st.
Petersburg Is in Darkness.
Rebellion Spreads Rapidly.
Through Empire.

st. Peterburg was in total dark
ness Friday night, the strikers hav-
ing during the afternoon stopped the
machinery of the electric light plant
The last link of the railroads bind
ing the capital with the outer world
was broken late at night when the
Finland road suspended service be-
tween st. Petersburg and the Finnish
border. Telegraphic communication Is
still open, but there is a possibility
that the cable operators may be COM
PEELED to join general strike of teleg-
raphers.
General Trepoff, who is practical
ly dictator, has ordered the troops
to shoot to kill should demonstra-
tion be made.
The most alarming reports are cir
culating about affairs in the south OF
Russia. Private reports received IN
st. Petersburg are said to confirm the
stories of the mutiny on board the bat
tleship Catherine II, and the destruc
ton by incendiaries of the battleship
Patelimon, formerly Kniaz Potemkine.
In the interior of Russia the people
have neither mail nor newspapers
and are the prey to the widest sto-
ries of what is occurring. In some
towns a reign of terror is reported
to exist.
That the present situation cannot
end without bloodshed is the convic-
ton prevailing in the higher govern
ment circles, which from moment TO
moment are expecting a conflict be-
tween the troops and the revolution
lists in st. Petersburg, and news OF
trouble in the provinces, especially at
Kharkoff which has been declared 10
a state of war.
The governor of Kieff has been in
structed to take all necessary meas
ures to restore order, which the local
government and the commander OF
the troops are unable to maintain.
One of the most prominent members
of the emperor's council said with
every evidence of deep emotion:
"The situation is a grievous and a
| painful one, and l see no way out
of it, except by the employment OF
armed force. Please do not misunder-
stand me. l look upon the prospect
| with tears, but it is becoming more
and more evident that the troops will
be compelled to fire. can see no
other possible outcome. The revolu.
tionists and terrorists are absolutely
bent on forcing conflict upon us,
and nothing we can do will satisfy
them The extension of the suffrage
and the right of assembly will be
nothing to them. They are deter
mined to have bloodshed, and we can
not avoid the issue. 1t is frightful
disease from which Russia is suffer
ing, and sad and painful as it is the
government must act with force"
A Warsaw special says: The gov
ernor general has ordered the troops
to shoot every agitator caught armed.
At Lodz the governor has ordered
| the officers in the event of disturb
ances to act without mercy.
