Mr. Stur geon said he thought they ought to have a good republican paper in the county. Well, poskibly so, but it's not so material now as ninety-nine per cant, of the repub licans of the county seem to think that The Herald fills the bill.

Wisner came up from 'Bay ard Tuesday returning Wednesday. The colonel made this office a pleasant call and chatted about a little of everything, not excepting politics.

Apostle Klim is Mot Again. Tuesday's issue of the Mormon Timos contained nearly a column of ranting against th editor of Tin: Hrraiai. Thu spostlo is msd; that is very evident. His bile long suppressed has nnnlly "popped" and the long-suffering public has Imcti re galed with BilllngsuBte and naughty lan guage. Even if the apostle feels bad ho should not make a public exhibition of his lacerated feelings and above all he should not abuse honest men. Forgetful of politeness and the requirements of good society ho compares Tint Hhrald editor to various of the lower animals who In their sphoro reflect more credit on their kind than our apostle does on humanity. It would bo needless for me to refer to the many and divers ways in which the apostle has deviated from the narrow and correct path of conduct and morality. Tiik Hkk Ai.n never. expects to be compelled to beg the public's pardon for anything that ap pears hi its columns but the citizens of Al liance and Box Butte county know that if we were to publish nil thnt we might con cerning the public and private record of the apostle we might be compelled to apologize for the sake of outraged decency. Though Tiik Hhrai.i editor may be a "contemptible cur" still he never turned a wife and child adrift in thu bleak wide world and thou sheltering behind an in iquitous divorce law take two wives succes sively instead of simultaneously. Though the editor of Tiik Hkkalu may have made mistakes, which he regrets, still he never laid himself open to the charges that arc being made against the apostle by church and society circles in Alliance at the pres ent time. We will not go into details fur ther just now in the matter. Sulfico it to state that between the character of an honorable man and that of a dishonorable one there is no basis of comparison. In his frothing we gather that Tin: Her ald is seeking at all times to tear 'down the character and business of nthurs. There's no need to tear down your charac ter, Mr.Apostle. That yon have torn down yourself and in its fall it has ruined your business. We would like to repair your character, if it were possible but we aud the public know thnt chloride or lime and ob livion arc all we can consign you to. What an example you are for the rising generation 111 I'd rather be a yellow dog and bay the moon than such a character. Now, Mr. Apostle, "forbearance ceases to be a virtue" with such as you. Kindness is lost on coyotes 1 1 1 If you did not offer to take the place of the Grip in the interest of J, R. Phelan why did you tell me that you did and that Phelan said "Yes, but what if you would sell out, I wouidn t have any then." It is true and you know it, I never told you to go to see Phelan to try to induce him to sell the Grip to me. When I decided to come to Alliance fear of my coming filled you with terror. You begged me not to order my new plant until you could see Phelan; you .also stated at that time that you would take the place of the Grip for him. I never offered to compromise my self with Phelan in any way. I could not do so and retain my own self respect, let alone the respect of ninety-nine per cent, of the people. The editor of Tiik Herald has come to Alliance as a busi nessman content to abide by the verdict of his fellow citizens. He asks no favors and he fears no man. He defended the retention of the county scat at Hemingford for the same reason that he would now de fend its retention in Alliance. If he were as the apostle he would sell out to the other party. Such loads always do. You sought to sell out to the pops but after consideration they thought you might prove a hoodoo. 'I here is no need of informing the public that you owe no allegiance to J. R. Phelan. J. R. Phelan with all his faults has always been credited with ability to pick his satellites. You are a wander ing star ! ! ! We pity you, dear apostle, for the senile impotoncy of your hcurrilous rage. We thought you could do better than that. It is difficult to stave oil the consequences of late and early iniquities. Honesty is the best policy. You'll find it so in the end if you'll take a friend's advice. Now, dear apostle, don't stay mad for if you do we will cool you better next time. Good bye.

Hhkald stands for truth, righteousness and honor in public and private life and for JCion's sake it shall not make peace nor compromise with the powors df darkness. Yes, we have been informed that if we do not stop publishing things about the apostles of free love in Alliance we nre likely to be shot. So we were told yesterday by one who says he knows. We hardly anticipate any such thing but we do not protend to know everything. However, we do know it to be a fact that nome time ago an Alli ance man was threatened with bodily harm if he did not leave up. on "the great Pasha." This threat was from two of the "janissaries." We haVe no desire to kill anyone. Neither do we desire, that our thread of life be cut just yet. But we here and now defy the apostles and elders of Mormonistic tendencies to do their worst against the editor of Tiik Hkrald. Threats do not scare us and we will pub lish the truth even if the heavens fall. We will publish whatsoever we choose and it takes more than threats to scare a man of Irish blood from his duty. Alliance is now our home; and we would just as soon our body would lie in the little cemetery north east of town as that we should be bulldozed into compromising with the powers that RULE AND RUIN.
