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

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
