THE VALENTINE DEMOCRAT
i M RICE
EDITOR
10O Per Year in Advance
PUBLIUHED EVERY THURSDAY
Entered at t b e Post office at Valentine Cherry
county Nebraska as Second class matter
This paper will be mailed regularly
to its subscribers until a definite order
to discontinue is received and all ar
rears are paid in full
The Oklahoma lands that were
opened for settlement in 1892 at prices
of 250 150 and 100 per acre in
addition to the regular homestead act
are now declared to be free from this
payment after thousands of poor far
mers have been compelled to give up
their land in that section owing to fail
ure of crops acd the necessity of hav
ing to pay for their lands staring them
in the face Verily To him that
hath it shall be given and to him that
hath not even that which he seemeth
to have shall be taken away from him
Why couldnt this have been done in
time to save the poor farmer instead of
springing it as a sedeeming feature for
the gigantic trusts that have been org
anized and for campaign argument
We quote the following from the
Stock Growers Journal Trusts with
an aggregate authorized capital of over
three hundred and twenty five million
not one of them with a capital of less
than one million were incorporated in
April in six states as follows New
Jersey 228750000 West Virginia
48000000 New York 14000000
Delaware 7000000 Maine 3500
000 The figures for April 1899
amounted up to 500000000
Guess what the past three years
amount to and then think about how
an honest man should vote this coming
November
The World Herald has been ram
bling through tlm pages of history and
finds that on four occasions have occu
pants of the White House been candi
dates for re election against the men
whom they defeated at their first elec
tion and lost the election each time
For instance In 1800 John Adams de
feated Thomas Jefferson and in 1S04
Jefferson defeated da mis John
cy Adams defeated A ndrew Jackson
but four years later Jackson defeated
Adams Martin Van Buren defeated
William Henry Harrison but four years
later Harrison defeated Van Buren
Benjamin Harrison defeated Grover
Cleveland in 1888 and in 1892 Cleve
land defeated Harrison In 1896 Wil
liam McKiuley defeated William J
Bryan Every indication points to the
fact that these two men will be the op
posing candidates in 1900 The indica
tions are that history will repeat itself

STOCK NOTES
kAAAAAAAAAAAMAM
tAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAS
At the sixth annual meeting of the
Western Nebraska Stock Growers As
sociation held at Alliance on May 8th
these present report a good time It
was decided that the leasing of govern
ment lands would be detrimental to
the stockmen A more rigid enforce
ment of the laws to prevent malicious
and careless setting of prairie fires was
asked for and the stockmen opposed
the pardoning of cattle thieves who
have been convicted before their term
has expired
Senate bill No 14 it is said was
favored by h great many it being a
proposed amendment giving the inter
state commerce commission power to
enforce its rulings without recourse to
a court of justice as the stockmen of
necessity look to the government to
exercise control over railroads to pre
vent unjust discrimination and extor
tionate rates on interstate commerce
A state veterinary was favored and
an appropriation to maintain one to
guard against disease epidemics and as
a matter op protection to the stock in
dustry

Deadening Power of Alcohol In
general terms it may be said that no in
stance has been recorded where the in
fluence upon a good man when carried
to its full extent has failed to taint his
moral nature Nor has an instance
ever been known of a character so base
so bestial and inhuman that alcohol
could not sink it still lower
Alcohol deadens the conscience of
any one who partakes of it let his mo
tives in drinking be what they may
A person intoxicated will commit of
fenses in thought in speech and in con
duct which in his sober moods he would
view with abhorrence The tendency
of drunkenness is inevitably toward
crime D T L Wright
