On Saturday last the republican county commissioners accepted the joint proposition of Tim Tki dune and the Telegraph to publish the legal notices of the county in each of the two papers for two thirds of the statutory rate. Last year the bills filed by the Era for the county publishing at full statu tory rate amounted to $1,500, and as the amount of publishing this vcar will practically be the same as last year, it means that by accepting the joint proposition of the two republican papers, the commission ers have saved the tax payers the neat sum of five hundred dollars. Nor is this all. All notices will be published in both papers, thus giv ing them double the publicity that they received when published in the Era alone. This action of the republican commissioners is carrying out the promises of economy which the republican party made during the campaign, and we arc sure the tax payers of the county, regardless of party, will give Messrs. Woodhurst and Carpenter credit for this re duction of expenses. This saving ol $500 is only a starter; the running expenses of the county will be curtailed in many other instances' Economy will be the motto of the republican commis sioners. Sugar Boot Proposition. Thk Tkiuunk learns that Mana ger Fcrrar,ot the Grand Island beet sugar factory will, upon solicita tion of certain parties, visit North Platte in a few days and make a proposition to the irrigation farm ers with a view of inducing them to raise beets. It is understood that as an inducement, Mr. Ferrar will offer the farmers the same price per ton for beets on cars at Sutherland, Ilcrshcy and North Platte as is paid the producers at Grand Island, It would seem that this is a very liberal proposition, and should be taken advantage of by all farmers who desire to ascertain if raising sugar beets is profitable, It is argued, and in fact it has been dem onstrated, that beets raised in this immediate section arc unusually rich in saccarhine matter, and the advantage of irrigation increases the yield per acre. At Grand Island the dry weather the latter part of the growing season has injured the beet crop. With irrigation this would be obviated. If the farmers of the irrigated Bcction will take hold of this matter promptly and each plant from one to five acres of beets it can readily be demonstrated whether the beet crop is a paying one. If it proves to be, and the farmers desire to plant a sufficient acreage each year, it is believed that no difficulty will be experienced in securing the lo cation of a beet sugar iactory in our midst. Prefers Golil Standard to Socialism. Senator Kyle's reasons for deter mining to vote for the gold stand ard arc simply an example of the conditions which arc causing niany other leaders to abandon the silver cause. He says,'' 'Though I am a biiuetalliBt and have been so from conscientious convictions for tweu ty five years, I would rather take the imiBt undiluted gold staudardism than accept bimetallism with the ingredients of radical socialism that arc now associated with it. We have been practically operating under the gold standard for thirty years, and having brought ourselves into harmony with the monetary Hysteinsvof the world, it is a doubt ful proposition whether it is right to again disturb values in the world when by such action we do injustice to the creditor class and at the same time put ourselves out of joint with the rest of the world.' Tnu public debt was reduced nearly six millions of dollars dur trig December. The republican party has always been a debt re during party. Its wise, economi cal and busiiiess-llkc administra tion not only reduces the public debt but it makes it possible for the individual to reduce his in debtednesB and at the Haute time enjoy the comforts of life. Produco the Proof. The Era in a late issue reasserts a former statement that the county attorney had made unuecccssary costs upon the county at the last term of the district court by bring ing felonious charges when he should have brought misdemeanor charges. As we said on a former occasion, the parties that were found guilty of a misdemeanor in the district court plead guilty to the felonious charge in the lower court or not guilty to the charge. When the Era says that the county attorney refused to allow them to plead guilty to a misdemeanor in the lower court and thus made costs for the county, it makes a false charge against the county at torney, for not one of the parties plead guilty to a midemcanor in the lower court. They cither plead guilty to the felonious charge or not guilty. The Era must produce proof to sustain its charge or stand con victed of wilful lying. Tliis Settles It John Ncary, the local weather prophet and general prognosticator of coming events, who getB his cue from the phases of the' planetary system, says the position of the heavenly bodies the early part of next November will be precisely the Bamc as they were at the same period in 1896, This, he argues, means the defeat of the democratic presidential nominee and the re election of President McKinley. Fusionists in Lincoln county who arc building hopes on a change of national administration and an ap pointment to office, might as well give up star chasing. The Great Northern railroad fol lows the Illinois Central in offering attractive opportunities for the pur chase cf the stock of the company by employes. It is to increase its stock capitalization by 10 per cent, and employes who recaivc salaries or wages ol less than $3,000 a year will be given the privilege of taking the new stock at par. The value f this piivilcge will be understood when it is stated that the market aluc of the outstanding stock of the company is about $175 a share and will belittle depreciated by the new issue, The Fremont Tribune last week issued a Sugar and Holiday edi tion which was the finest ever issued by a Nebraska paper. It signalized the completion ol the big sugar factory at AmcB one of Fremont's suburban vilhges and gave a splendid write-up of Dodge county and Fremont. The edi tion contained 125 fine half tone cuts. Commissioners' Proceeding's. January 6, 1900. Board met pursuant to adjourn uient. Present full board and county clerk.
