‘‘You must not make an
Idol of J. P. Mullen.”—J.
P. Mullen in the Independ
ent Convention.
Attend the primaries Saturday.
Lookinu at it from almost any view,
the Independent county ticket is a weak
one. There is scarcely a strong candi
date on the ticket.
-- -
Uoi.t county’s ilog Palace cannot
fail to be the center of attraction at the
State fair next week. Holt county is
always at the front.
The combined efforts of the Demo
cratic and Alliance parties in Ohio are
dliected to the defeat of John Sherman
for United States senator.
It is said that James G. Blaine, jr.,
will contest the divorce suit brought by
his wife in the courts of South Dakota.
The case comes up in Deadwood in
October.
The Western Base Ball association
presents, at this distance, the sorrowful
picture of a lonesome kite's tail. The
main portion of the flyer has been lost
in the shuffle.
Boss Mullen, the Independant can
didate for county treasurer, will hardly
be able to whip the Alliance forces into
him in November as easily as he did at
the late convention. His mule-driver
tactics have already lost their charm.
The Independent candidate for su
preme judge, J. M. Edgerton, is a cronic
office seeker. In 1886 he was the Union
Labor, candidate for supreme judge.
In 1888 he was nominated by the same
party for congress, and in 1890 he was
the Independent candidate for attorney
general. Now he is a cpnnidate for su
preme judge again.
The Hog Palace has been built, has
gone to the state fair, and a creditable
exhibit of the county's products will go
with the great Nebraska train. And
the business men of O’Neill, Atkinson
and Stuart went down into their pockets
and paid for it all. ’Twas ever thus in
this twirling, twisting troublesome
world.
Tub AMarux Tribune talks about boss
ism in the Republican party. Did its
editor fail to notice the actions of Boss
Mullen at the Independent convention,
when that Democratic politician mule
whacked the stubborn colts into line?
Has the farmer forgotten for one brief
moment the artistic and (to a majority
of the delegates) very disgusting man
ner in which he manipulated the politi
cal wires on that memorable occasion?
’Tis hardly probable that these glaring
spots of egotistical bossism, brought
before the public gaze so forcibly by
Candidate Mullen, should have been for
gotten so soon by the reform editor.
In closing up another labored effort to
show the rottenness in “Denmark" and
the “hopelessly lost" condition of T:ie
Fiiontikk folks, the Sun, with a great
tlonrisli of trumpets, gets off the follow
itlg:
TitK Fhontieh may continue to fol
low its calling, that of covering up and
detending public otllclnls who nil; dis
honest and direleot in their duty, but
tlic Sun will continue on its course of
exposing and denouncing fraud, regard
less of individuals, whenever and where
ever found, even if it does call down on
its head such maledictions as “extreme
and ungcncrcus."
“Will continue,” says the Sun. These
two words indiente that the Sun lias
been in the habit of “exposing and de
nouncing fraud" in the past, “regardless
of individuals.” etc. Tiik Kkontiku
appeals to a justice loving and nn intel
ligent reading public to know if this be
true. In the beginning of the article
from which we quote it intimates that |
only Hepublicau papers refrained from
mentioning the Meals investigation, tint
when and where did the Sun ever men
tion that important fact until t.fter the
report of the committee wns made? We
await patiently for an answer. It makes
some difference with the Sun, we opine,
whose ox is gored and the fncts indicate
that it makes a big difference.
The charges against the Republican
officers are of a serious character, but
not more so than those against a Demo
crat official, yet the Sun makes all possi
ble capital out of the one before it is
known whether they are guilty or not,
but never mentions the other until the
report is made showing a shortage
and then has little or nothing to say
denunciatory.
♦
Sbnatoh Siirhman is making some
telling speeches in Ohio, and will aid
very materially in rolling up a big ma
jority for McKinley for governor. The
senator’s opening speccli at Paulding,
Ohio, Aug. 27, is u monster effort and
should be read by everyone. His topic
was the tlnnncinl question and he han
dled it in his usual manner. After mak
ing some comments upon the turiff and
stating that in this apeach lie would
devote himself to the financial question,
the senator defended the question in
the following language, easily under
stood liy ull. We append these para
graphs for your careful perusal, as lay
ing the foundation of a better under
standing of the financial policy of our
government.
Now, you all know that the money in
eiidilation in the United States—all of
it—is good, as good as gold. It will
pass everywhere and buy as much as the
same amount of any other money in the
world. Our money is of many kinds
gold, silver, nickel and copper are all
coined into money. Thenwo have United
States notes, or greenbacks, gold cer
titlcates, silver certificates, treasury
notes, and national bunk notes. I3ut
the virtue of all these many kinds of
money is that they are all good. A dol
lar of each is as good as a dollar of any
other kind. All are as good as gold,
but, and here comes the tirst difficulty,
the silver in the silver dollar is not
worth as much as the gold in the gold
dollar. The nickel in the coin is worth
but a small part of live cent’s worth of
Bilver. And the copper in the cent is
not worth one-fffth if the nickel in a
five cent piece. How then, you may
ask me, can these coins he made equal
to each other? The answer is that
coinage is a government monopoly, and
though the copper in Uve cents is not
worth a nickel, and the nickel in twenty
pieces is not worth a silver dollar, and
the silver in $10 is not worth $16 in
gold, yet, as the government coins them,
and receives them, and maintains them
at par with gold coin, they are, for all
purposes, money equal to each other,
and wherever they go, even into foreign
eign countries, they are received and
paid out as equivalents.
The reason of all this is that the
United states limits the amount of ail
the coins to be issued except gold, which,
being the most valuable, is coined with
out limit. If coinnge of ail these metals
was free, and any bolder of copper,
nickel, silver or gold could carry it to
the mint to be coined, we should have
no money but copper and nickle, be
cause they are the cheaper metals, worth
less than one fourth of what, as coin,
they purpose to be. For the same rea
son if the coinage of silver was free at
the ratio of sixteen of silver to one of
gold, no gold would be coined, because
sixteen ounces of silver are not worth
one ounce of gold. A holder of both
silver and gold would take his silver to
the mint and get a dollar for every 371
grains. He would sell his gold in the
market or export it and get 25 per cent
more dollars for gold than he could at
the mint As a matter of course lie
would not take his gold to the mint.
Holt county will liave a representa
tive on the advertising train going cast
whose varied business experiences and
long residence in this county make him
peculiarly adaptable to this position. In
the selection of Mr. W. D. Mathews for
their important work the committee has
made no mistake.
Results of Irrigation.
The census office has issued a bulletin
on irrigation in Wyoming. There are
1.917 farms irrigated, out of a total of
3,240. The total area of land in these
1.917 farms is 1,500,850 acres, upor.
229,070 acres of which crops were raised
by irrigation in the year 1889. In addi
tion there were 240,000 acres irrigated
for grazing purposes. The average first
cost of water right is $2.02 per acre and
the average cost of preparing the soil
for cultivation, including the purchase
price of the land, $8.48 per acre. The
average present value of irrigated land
of the state, including buildings, etc.,
is $31.10 per acre. The average annual
cost of water is 44 cents per acre, which,
deducted from the average annual
value of products per acre, leaves an
average annual return of $7.81 per acre.

ABSOLUTELY PURE
Atkinson Graphic: It has been sug
gested that Doc. Mathews, of O’Neill,
is eminently the proper person to appoin
as the Holt county representative on the
advertssing train that will leave Omaha
for an eastern tour on the! 1st of October
under the auspices of the Nebraska Bus
iness Men's Association, The Gkapiiic
earnestly seconds the motion, as Doc’s
long resedence here, and large interest in
Holt county’s present and fature growth,
together with his practical tact and ab
ility for meeting the reiiuireraentsofsuch
a position, would seem to demand that
he should act as Holt county’s agent on
this important business excurqjkin.
A hit bird always llutters. Hence
the great commotion at the Item shop.
The truth hurts them, galls them fear
fully, and when pinned down they in
variably attempt to turn their corrupt
methods off as a joke. They are a joke,
of course, so far as they are concerned,
for they have no other conception of
wrong doing except that it is smart, a
joke, really bright tricks, to do
things which should brand them among
honest people as disreputable boodlers—
would-be boodlers at least. They may
turn these matters, oil as jokes as long
as they desire, but the public will take
little or nostock In the “turn.”
Senator Tayi.ok, the Independent
legislator who had business out of the
state at a very critical point in the pro
ceedings of that interesting body last
winter, writes a letter to Governor
Thayer stating that he still considers
himself a citizen of Nebraska and a
member of the legislature. He had
heard, be goes on to say, that it was
the intention of the people of his dis
trict to elect a new senator this fall,
and he writes the governor to shoo them
off the fence, for he is coming back. It
is understood that a reception com
mittee has everything in readiness to
receive him.

State, Journal-. The terrible battle be
tween Blaine and Harrison men in the
Democratic and Mugwump papers, waxes
hotter every day. The groans of the
wounded are very realistic, but they do
not appear to be uttered by the phantom
fighters. The Democratic and Mug
wump editors do that all themselves.
It is wholly after the style of the Punch
and Judy show.
Governor Boies is having all he can
do to explain to the farmers why he
made such glaringly inacurate state
ments in his New York speech concern
ing the farming industry in Iowa. His
“farming at a loss for ten years past”
will hardly go down with them.
Oil ad ron Citizen: There were 110
delegates in attendance at the Holt
county Independent convention at At
kinson last week. Only 70 of them,
however, were seeking office. The
other 40 should have been read out of
the party.
There is a big exposition attraction
at Nebraska City this week. The news
papers of that city being printed in the
Missouri language, one is unable to de
termine whether the affair is a success
or otherwise.
Frank Morse, committeeman from
Turtle Creek township, now a part of
Boyd county, culled the Uepublicans of
that county to meet in mass convention
at Butte City last Saturday.
Cowboy Simi-son and Bewhiskered

Once more we would remind the Re

mand the selection of a clean ticket at
the coming convention.
