AN AWAKENING t In an article a few weeks ogo Uro Cobb of the Emerson Enterprise took the reputation and alleged misdeeds o an attorney at that place hy the neck aud gave them a pretty severe airing, and ns a result the. aforesaid editor is now being sued for criminal libel by the object of the attack. Wo know nothing about the case, except by hearsay, which is rather in favor of Editor Cobb. If what he lias said was not true upon investigation, an apolo gy would no doubt bo forthcoming from him; but if half what was in the' article is trne, the object of his aneu nations should bo nummarialy deult with. It is not sttictly an editor's duty to supcrviso the morals of a com munity, yet it is his privilege to print the truth and protect the morals and associations of the readers of his paper. The editor of the IIk.kai.d has made it a practice to refer to nothing except what has become ft matter of record, yet ho has felt many times that a se vere warning would have averted se verer consoijuences. It is a fact undisputed, that half of people do not know how tho other half lives; that only a part of tho scan dal and misdeeds of a community reach those who are in a position to, and would, exert their efforts toward their prevention. Tho condition of affairs at Emerson, as told by 13 ro. Cobb, (and the ono-tenth was not then told, and at Covington, may ahock Homo peoplo, yet theso people know mat au.nrw at Dakota (Jity are in no hotter shape, in fact are far worse, but they have not come to the surface xi is appaiung now ft unristian com munity tolerates such doings as are, 1 a ' ami nave uocn lor years, going on among us. How people who aro mem bers of our churches and secret socio ties, can associate and mingle with parties w ho have no regard for the law, for tho sanctity of tho marriage vow, for tho purity of the homo, for tho higher principles which lead to joy and happiness, is beyond our concep tion. I ho state of affairs is, to speak plainly, outrageous.

It has been tol eratod so long, that it is a matter of daily comment and jest among those who know the under side aud who w ait and wonder how long it will bo until the evil breaks out to the light of day and there are several coronors imjuests and desolated homes. It has been on the verge of it the past month, and we are told that all the preparations have been made for ft series of funerals ex cept the corpse. The Herald desires to giro fair warning. If the worst comes, it will print the truth, tho w hole truth aud nothing but the truth. Tho administration at Washington has recently received a stinging and well-deserved rebuke for its sympathy with England against the Boers.

Meanwhile she could Btop all shipments from America starve out the Boer, and after it was' U over make some aort of excuse and that would end the affair. " Other nations sneered at the U H .1.: i a " 1 il i nv a 4 aujeouiuin; out we were put in a ery bad light by oontiftst when Eng lish vessel .eized Herman vessel. 7 1 V lcijds for reparation. Germany hasn't a very largo navy, but she has pride Lind honor. The prompt ness with wh ich Germanv acted was sad commentary on our government's course of resorting to slow-going mails. The administration at once felt the rehnke, and then began to cable aWnit the matter, but in a very Inkeware way. I am afra'd wo have too much Anglo mania in this country. Ex-Treasurer Kolln of Omaha who was sentenced to tho pen for embez zelment some time ago, lost Lis else of appe. 1 to the supreme court, which decided against him this week. Jus tice is rapidly overtaking all that gang of fly-high :rs with the people's money! John D. Rockefeller has given the country a valuable "object lesson. Ho has shown us tho valuo of money bags ns an intrenchment behind . which a man may hide away from searching in quiry. The Industrial Commission wanted to examine Mr. Itockefeller. Mr. Itockefeller did not want to be exam ined. Se lie merely remarked : "You may send inn a list of questions and I will answer them." No I'rinro in Europe outside of Rus sia could have been so contemptuously superior to tho law. Albert Edward of Wales had to goon the stand and "perjure himself liko a gentleman" when ho w as summoned in n divorce cat ). But Albert Edward did not have $2.10,000,000. In conclusion, it is interesting to note that in his written reply to tho In dustrial Commission Mr. Itockefeller said : "The dangers aro that combination may be formed for speeulutinn in stocks rather than for conducting bu siness, and that for this purpose prices may bo tcmperarialy raised instead of being lowered. Tins was said to have been written on Tuchday. A day later tho Stand ard Oil Conpauy, controlled by Mr. Rockefeller, "raised" tho price of oil three cents u gallon. By this "raising" instead of "lower ing" the price of oil Mr. Rockefeller increases his income by millions a year. This is the danger ho refers to How would he advise us to meet it? The Little Country Paper. It's just a little paper it isn't up to date; It hasn't any supplement or colored fashion plate. It comes out every Friday, unless tho forms are pied ; The outside is home-printed, with boiler-plate inside. It hasn't any cable direct from old Bombay, But it says that "Col. Braggius is in our midst to day. It doesn't seem to worry about affairs of state, But it tell that "Joseph Haw kins has paiutod his front gate. It never mentions Krnger or Joseph Chamberlain, But says that "Thompson's grocery has a new window pane." And that "thoMission workers will give a festival," "And there'll boa temperance lecture in William Hopper's hall." It tells about the measles that Jimmy nankin liad, And says Isreal Johnson "has become a huppy dad." It Bays that "eider-making is shortly to commence, 1.1 .1 m . .1 -. .....

Somo people make fun of it, but, hon estly, I like To loam that "work is booming upon the Jimtown pike." It's just a little paper it hasn't much to say But as long as is printed I hope it conies my way. Stolen. I wonder how many Congressmen who voted for tho last currency bill realized that they virtually foreswore themstilvcs by to doing. In taking oath of ollloc thy promised to uphold the Constitution of the United States. Article I. Section 10. of that dooument denies tho right of any state, and by inference, the United States, to "make anything but gold and silver coin a tender in payment of debts." But, then, ulasl the old constitution is going out of stylo. A republican Senator re cently declared that tho country ha outgrown tho constitution. Five years ago there would have been one great universal Iuhs at the man who made sueba statement, but now it doesn't crette InuV h of a stir. Why ? - - m m - SQUIBLETS.

If tho county were out of debt and it had a largo amount of cash to carry, it might do so, but when the county Iniard designates a county depository it relieves tho treasurer from any lia bility for tho money so deposited.
