IS 1 tl ft 1 1 N I j e is 4 1 V f r THE VALENTINE DEMOCRAT BOBEBT GOOD Editor and Publisher Official Paper of Chery Coun ty Nebraska 100 JPer Yeur in Advance rUBLlUHED EVERY THURSDAY Kntored at t be Post office at Valentine Cherry roiiiity Nebraska as Second class matter The question of buying the old school house for court house purposes is being agitated again At the re quest of a reader we suggest that all interests address toe county commis sioners on thss matter before their Ineetiug the loth of next month JuTthink what an easy job the ed itor must have who has no opinions of his own the editor who sayso is never challenged because he always waits for a conclusion -and then says Idcld you so the editor wfeo -is a philosopher inasmuch as he believes that what must be will be and what has been was Btit we dont envy him his glory Hather than be a sec ond fiddle editor we would hirestobeat tbe dium for the Salvation army AVe don t enyy the fellow who dare not express an opinion if he ever haa one Auburn Granger The editor of the Papillion Times Howard says The democrats of the stateare iiing togive the pops every state office if only by so doing we can keep the Wall street crowd out of -place and tpower in Nebraska In view of the fact that bout half -and the best appointive positions in the state are filled with vdemocrats that they have one placed upon the state ticket that they had the populist endorsement for president and will get it again no doubt carrying with it the entire federal patronage the self denial and self sacrifice of the democrats is enough to wring tears of pity from -an Egyptian sphinx At- Teinson Plain Dealer The Minneapolis Tribune exultantly shouts -Before the passage of the Dingley bill sheep in Ohio sold for 50 -cents a -head Now they are worth 4 per head Well what of it Does the Tribune mean to say that the Dipgley law has added this extra value to sheep It -seems hat a few months ago weheard -the -Tribune and other papers of its -political faith declaring in thunder tones that value cant -be made by law -Certainly tne Tribune -would have us believe that it is engaged 4n the repudiation business to the ex tent of repudiating its cwn declara tions What has the Dingley law got to do -with theories of sheep We -ask the esteemed Tribune this tion iuali seriousness Has the Dingley law added to the value of sheep Has the Dingley law added to the value of wheat It it has why cpukUit not add value to silver or de tract from the value of sgold World Herald The editor of this paper acknowledges the receipt of a number of copies of Hon W L Greenes speech in con gress January 31 on payment of U S bondsrand these speeches have been sent to a x number of gentlemen throughout the country who are inter ested in the question Among the many other sharp things said by Mr Greene In his speech we find the fol lowing J3yrtiie act of February 15 1862 the present greenback currency was created and in the House thebiil pass ed making greenbacks a full legal ten der When this bill went to the sen ate a formidable lobby composed of the same class of men who are now clamoriug for national hnnorand pub lic faith were found thundering at the doors of the senate demanding an amendment What was it They wanted to insert this simple clause Except duties on imports and interest -on the public debt The senate so ameuded the bill Here was the first blunder the -republican party made By means GfMbat mistake the people have been from then till now robbed and plundered of their substance by these same defenders of national hon or What was the result These men demanded all the way from two to two dollars and eighty live cents in green 1 ibacks for one dollar of gold Then they cared nothing for the nations fconororthe nations credit Then tbey were coiniDg money out of the Wood and the tears of our people Then the government might have gone to the bottim of the sea if it had not yielded golden blood under the thumbscrew of these money sharks Tbeee men took the greenback pur chased with gold at about 35 cents on the dollar and with these same green backs bought government bonds at the full faca value of the greenback- so that theBe bonds cost the gold gamblers gbout 35 cents on the dojlar in gold Ti y1 N E25gZ52325223ZZ2 Dissecting Table KXM ZS2S2Z1 M i IlmJ Some people seem to ihink ihat if you dont belong to their church you taue no interest in church religious or charitable work We submitted this to members of three different denomi nations and they all agreed with us so it must be so It seems to us that the morale of a place is not raised to ahy great extent bT circulation of those horriole tares commonly called comic valen tines and the people who send them through the mails lay themselves open to the suspiciou that they are lacking m decency There is a wise provision in our laws that no man can be arrested and tiied for a crime without having the bene fit of legal advice If the uian is too poor to employ an attorney the court appoints Jne to take his case and the attorneys fee is paid by the county This is simply justice and is a wise provision though it costs the county considerable sometimes to defend ihe criminal it brings to the bar of justice We have often wonered just how much the county was called upon to -pay at torneys during the year and the other day we took the trouble to look it up During the years 1896 97 nineteen claims were fiieti -against the county by six attorneys These claims ranged in value from 35 to one attorney up to 415 for another This latter sum is filed in eight claims The nineteen claims amount to a total of 104500 and all but three of them were filed for services In defending men charged with crime Two claims amounting to -225 were lejected by the commis sioners and one for 75 was cut to 40 thus leaving a total of 785 which the county had to pay If then we add to this amount the salary of the county attorney for two years 1300 we find that the county has paid in that length of time 2u8500 for legal services SUGGESTS A TRUCE Valentine Neb Feb 14th 1898 To the editor of The Valentine Democrat Your ioimer courtesy in giving me space in your columns assures me of room for this short letter It has sincerely grieved as well as wor ried me to see our two local papers engaged iu a political fight when they ought to have been standing together fighting the same enemy The public in general and myself in particular do not feel it is our fight and were it not for the fact that success for bi metalists in Cherry county depends a jgreat deal upon our newspapers I should not interfere but patiently await the end of the fight or of the paper We will soon have another countv convention called -and mv opinion necessary that it is in bimetal- lsts oPCherry county should get to gether before the coventions as the actions of our editors greatly inter feres with this plan I ask of you as a democrat to cease hostilities and to make a treaty with our co worker and assure you of the esteem and good will of all bimetalists of Cherry county for Mich action on your part Hoist the Hag of democracy with W J Bryan and bimetalism the paramount ism for 1900 and both populists and demo crats will rejoice with yours M Christensex In deference to the wishes of this writer we have this week killea a two column
