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. Highest of all in Leavening Power.—Latest U. S. Gov’t Report Baking Powder 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. -- +9+-*- -- 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 I’effer hav* been engaged by the Demo cratic circus to exhibit in Ohio during the campaign. The Republican state ticket is sure of election in Ohio. Once more we would remind the Re publican party that its best interests de mand the selection of a clean ticket at the coming convention. “You must not make an ido-” but wliat’s the use.
