"Pahty education counts for more

Tub Democrats will meet in Chicago

is a matter of custom, we presume they
might as well go ahead.
Tub new publishers of the Bugle,
Messrs. Wry Sc Sackett, are giving the

It has been announced that Belva

Arran all the charges made against
us, the Bern falls back upon its state
ment that we are a “liar and a black
mailer.” Simply and only a schema to
let themselves down easy. As we said
before, we are not afraid of the truth
and invite the closest scrutiny.
Matt Quay has come out winner in
the libel suits brought by him against
two Democratic newspapers In Pennsyl
vania. The Democratic editors through
out the country will probably exercise a
little care in the matte* of telling the
truth hereafter.
Tub Sioux City Journal is doing tome
great work just now for the poor people
of that city. Iowa’s best newspaper is
always a winner in any enterprise it
enters into, and in the work now on
hand it should receive the hearty co
operation of all good citizens.
Tub Frontier has become extremely
tired of seeing Ward McAllister’s name
paraded before the publio gaze as the
prince of princes in the giddy society
world. All that the old fool wants is
notoriety, and the public press has
i|v played the sucker act to his pet scheme
long enough.
' Dbhvbr Republican: President llarrl

quite certain that one of them will be

btate during the term beginning March
4.1898.
At the state Alliance meeting in Lin

re-elected state lecturer. This accom

the state last fall, and wherever his
voice was heard, Republican gains were
noticable In the immediate vicinity. He
is a bowler from Howlersville. and his
name is Dech, though it should be Mud.

Mat Brown, the able editor of the
Kearney Hub, reads a lecture, through
his paper, to the Republicans of Ne
. braska that should be read b^ every con
servative member of the patty. It con
cerna the management of the campaign
.upon which we are about to enter. Mat
Brown Is right about the party manage
ment. In the* language of our distin
gutshe'd friend. Col. Doc Mathews! it
"savors too much of one-manlsm."
• O'Neill wants another flouring mil), and
bad at that. She had one onoe upon a time,
but she did not patronize It to any alarming
extent and so It caught lire; you see?—Atkin
son Plain Dealer.
See what? The Frontier's eyesight
is pretty good, but it fails to see any
thing funny In the fact that O'Neill’s
, flouring mill, which was the pride of
north Nebraska, burned down. If Col.
Baluss would label his jokes, a suffering
public would he relieved of considerable
anxiety.
In denying the charge that Mr. Kin
kald dictates what is said about him in
the Hem, the kids give themselves dead
’ 1 away by saying that his honor does not
give “newspaper comments more than a
passing notice." We have heard of this
expression before and it came from none
other than the judge himself. If he does
not dictate what is said concerning him
■elf he evidently writes It, and the edi
tor Of this paper will make oath that be
believes all that he has said concerning
this subject, and further, that he knows
0 great meny others of the same mind.
Skvkual papers in tills county lmve
lielabored Judge Orites considerably be
cause he appointed some special master
commissioners in a number of foreclos
ure cases. Without entering into a dia
cussion of the merits of the case, we
would simply refer these papers to the
fact that the court records show that M.
P. ICinknld appointed It. J. Hayes such
commissioner in twenty-two cases. It
is on the docket of last term of court, in
his own handwriting and surely cannot
be disputed.
If it was so reprehensible for Judge
Crites to appoint master commissioners,
is it not equally so for Mr. Kinkaid to
do the same tiling, even if he did not as
sign Haves but about one-fourth or o.'.o
fifth of the entire number? We under
stand that there are about 100 of these
cases in the county and of these Hayes
gets about eighty and McEvony the bal
ance. If it is such a great wrong for
Crilcs to filch from the taxpayers the
fees on eighty cases, is It not equally
wrong for Kinkaid to do llte same thing
on twenty-two cases? These great pro
tectors of the people’s rights should be
consistent along witli their zeal.
It ih understood Unit Mayor Lighti
and the city council urn doing some fig
uring with the electric light company,
with the object In view of purchasing
the plant. For a city the Hizu of O'Neill
to own nnd operate its own electric light
plant must certainly be considered as a
step in the right direction. Larger cities
in Nebraska and other states have adopt
ed this plan nnd have found that it not
only worked very satisfactorily, but
proved a financial success. Tub Fuon
tikh sees no obstacle in the way to pre
vent the city from deriving benefit from
a purchase of tho plant, and if, in the
course of time, there shaii be a system
of waterworks put in, a portion of the
machinery of the electric plant could be
put to double use. Tub Frontier
would be in favor of voting bonds for
this purpose, providing the city officials
can promote a transfer of the property
at a legitimate figure, and it is under
stood that the affairs of the compuuy
are in shape to bring about this result.
We wish to call the attention of our
readers to the matter on irrigation found
on our first page. The Frontier be
lieves that what has been dono in Scotts
Bluff county enn be done in licit county.
It will take lots of money to build a
ditch, say through tho county from tho
northwest corner to about the center on
the east side, but we believe the money
can he secured, nnd that the project
would bo feasible and profitable for in
vestors and farmers goes without 6aying.
Instead of trying to inaugurate a half
dozen or more minor enterprises, why
not concentrate all our forces upon this
one grand scheme and make fame and
wealth at one blow. This secured,
all the various enterprises which we
need and desire will ceme without much
more effort on our part. Irrigation
ditches seem to us the only feasible plan
to furnish our arid lands with water and
we hope to see this scheme inaugurated
this yeur. Let us get to work.
Lincoln Journal: The iron industry
is said to be on the eve of another revo
lution. A process has been discovered
for producing pig iron directly from the
ore by an electrical process at a reduc
tion of about 80 per cent from the cost
of the process at present employed. The
trade journals are discussing the organ
ization of companies to utilize this in
vention in every manufacturing country
on tho globe. It means the virtual up
setting of the old order of things. It
also means that the new metals that have
been so loudly proclaimed as certain to
drive iron and steal into the background
will meet some pretty stiff competition
when they undertake the job in earnest.
"In comparing my expenses of last
year xvitb those of former years,” writes
a poor oppressed farmer to his home
paper in Ohio, "I find that I have saved
$15,on my sugar bill, got $15 more for
wool sold, and can’t find where I have
oaid over $3 or $4 by reason of the tar
iff, although I have expended $600 or
$900 in various purchases affected by
the legislation. Have been in active
life, laboring in the field and other
wheres forty-five or more years, and the
calamity party’s predictions never came
true, unless they got the reins of the
government.”

Safety of Bailway Employes.
Fiom the Denver Kcpubltcan. ' f
Doubtless much attention will be given
during the present session of congress
to the subject of legislation to provide
greater safety for train employes on roads
engaged in interstate commerce. The
subject has been discussed in the news
papers and in the autiual reports of the
Interstate Commerce Commission.
There is no question that Congress
has the power to legislate upon this mat
ter, it being connected with interstate
commerce. There is also no question
that reform is needed in the equipment
of cars so as to reduce the risk whicl
train employes now incur. This is o
course chiefly applicable to freight cart
and trains. The aim is to secure tneadop
tiou of safety couplers by all railroads
One of the requirements is that it shal
not be necessary for a brakeman t<
stand between the ends of the cars whet
coupling or uncoupling them. Then
are several couplers of this kind, and i
is not thought that it would be neeessarj
to require that a particular kind bi
adopted. But whatever coupler might
he adopted by a particular company
would havp to bo susceptible of being
used upon any car. 'Ibis would he nec
essary, for cars belonging to different
companies are used in making up trains.
Representative Henderson < f Iowa
has introduced a hill for the gradual
adoption by railroad companies of such
couplers. A good deal of time is given
in which to effect the change, for it is
recognised that to make it at once would
involve an enormous expense. The bill
will require all cars built after the law
goes into effect to be provided with
couplers of the sort referred to.
An enterprising reporter at Butte,
Mont., interviewed John L, Sullivan
upon the Chilian question, and the dis
tinguished slugger’s opinion is herewith
given: "Well,” said lie, with a flash of
indignation in Ids eye, ”1 think the
Americans should go down and blow the
lit Je bully out ot the water. We have
stood too much of her impudence al
ready. She has insulted the United
States and endeavored to lower the
standard of American citizenship. She
ought to lie whipped. The United
States should make her a coaling sta
tion. I see that England offers to be a
peacemaker. She has done all the dirt
and would like to make (tuckers of the
American public. While speaking of
England I want to say I admire her for
one thing, and only one; she protects
her citizens at all places and at all times
under the English flag In this respect
I think America should follow her ex
ample and protect American citizens
under the stars and stripes, the only flag
that represents freedom and true man
hood.”

Iter. N. II. Blackmcr, writing from
Minneola, encloses us a copy of a letter
received by tiim from Secretary Noble,
in which that official gives his views re
garding the new law governing the set
tlement of the reservation lands. From
the letter, which we append, it appears
that settlers on these lands in Nebraska
and North Dakota cannot prove up in
fourteen mouths, bat must make a five
years’ residence:
Depautmbxtop tiik Inteuiok, Wash
inoton, D. C., Jan. 3, 185)3.—[Rev. N.
II. Blackmcr, Lynch, Neb.]—Sir: I am
in receipt of your letter, dated the 11th
ultimo., enclosing two communications
from the assistant commissioner of the
general land office, relative to the inter
pretation as made by the general land
office of section 0, of the act of March 3,
13!)1, in the matter of the ceded lands in
Nebraska, North Dakota and South Da
kotu.
From the language used in the section
of the act referred to there seems to bt
no escaping the conclusion that congress,
for some reason, did make an exception
of South Dakota, giving the settlers on
such lands located in said state a right
to commute their homestead entries that
was not extended to settlers on portiom
of the same reservotion within Nebraska
ami North Dakota; nor could such u
transposing of the words as suggested
by you be done and at the same time ex
press the intent of congress, as shown
by the language used in said section.
There is no apparent reason why the
people of Nebraska and North Dakota
should be treated very differently from
those of South Dakota, and I have no
doubt that congress would correct what
it evidently unwittingly did if its atten
tion was called to this matter and the
proper remedy proposed by the delega
tion of either of the states left out of
the provisions of this act. Very respect
fully, John W. Noblb, Secretary.
Mr. Blackmer inquires as to what can
be done to remedy this matter. We
would suggest to the gentleman that if
he would, by petition or otherwise, call
the attention of our representatives in
congress to the facts in the case they
would at once set to work to remedy the
Strong. If you can do nothing more,
send a marked copy of this issue of The
Fhontiek to Senator Mandersou and at
the same lime write him a peisonal let
ter concerning it and we are sure he will
look the matter up ut once.
What One Man Can So.
From the Children Journal.
Mr. John K. Penner, who has had ten
years experience in sugar beet culture
both in Germany and Grand Island, this
state, says that his expcriance is that
one man, by devoting his entire atten
tion to the business, can properly seed,
cultivate and harvest from fifteen to
twenty acres. At Grand Island his
crop last year yielded from twelve to
fifteen bushels per acre, with 18 per
cent sacharrine, for which he received
$5 per ton. lie says that the ground can
not be plowed too deep for sugar beet
culture, it should be a foot deep at least,
for the beet-must grow underground to
produce sugar, as all that grows above
ground contains little or no sweetness.
Mr. Penner took a claim south of town
which will not be in shape for heel
growing this season, and he expects to
engage with the factory people as in
structor to those contracting to raise
bocts. He lays great stress on the faci
that the ground murt lie finely pulver
ized at least to the depth of a foot, and
the deeper the belter, before the seed
i is planted, to secure the best results,
i both in quality and quantity of the
i crop. The work is all done with horse
. machinery, seeding, cultivating etc., eX

WORLD'S FAIR NOTES
The Blue grass league of Iowa, em
bracing the southwestern counties of
the state, has decided to construct a
"Blue Grass Palaco” at the exposition.
The Hon. V. C. P. Breckinridge, of
Kentucky, according to present plans,
will deliver the oration dedicatory of
the exposition buildiugs. on October 12,
1892.
The United States Potters’ associ
ation has applic'd for23,000 square feet
in the manufactures building, and an
nounces its intention of making an ex
hibit that will not be surpassed by any
slowing made by the famed potteries
of Europe.
It is the intention to have one room
in Delaware’s exposition building lltted
up in colonial Btyle, with hangings, pic
tures and furniture of that period.
Among the exhibits in this room it is
proposed to show models of three cel
ebrated colonial churches—the "Old
Swedes’ Church,” in Wilmington,
founded in 1699; Barratt’s Chapel near
Frederica, which was foliuded in 1780,
and where, in November, 1784. Rev.
Dr. Thomas Coke, Francis Asbury,
afterward first Methodist bishop in
America, met with several others and
planned the organization of the , Metho
dist church iu this country: aud Christ
Church, Broad Creek.
A ‘‘Columbian Catholic Congress”
will be held at Chicago at the time of
the exposition, beginning, as now
planned, on September 5th, and con
tinuing flvo days. It is expected that
fully 5,0J0 delegates from diocesses in
the United States alone will bs present,
and the number from European coun
tries will be very large and include
many noted dignitaries of the church.
It is hoped that Pope Leo XIII himself,
will accept an invitation to be present,
and to open the congress. It is believed j
that the gathering will be the greatest j
and most representative in the history ]
of the church. The progress aud stand- !
ing of the Catholic church in America i
and throughout the world, aud the!
social and economic question embraced j
in the Pope’s recent encynclinal, will be
presented and discussed.
The ceremonies attending the dedi-1
cation of the exposition buildings,
October 11, 12 and 13, 1S92, are to be
very elaborate and impressive. The
committee having the matter in hand
wijl devote $300,000 to that purpose.
It is expected that the president of the
United States and his cabinet, many of
the senators and congressmen and gov
ernors of. the states, numerous repre
sentatives of foreign governments, and
10.000 militia and several thousand reg
ulars will be present. A dedication ode
and marches, written for the occasion,
will be rendered wiih full choral and
orchestral accompaniment. Patriotic
and other music, a dedicatory oration,
a pageant of symbolic floats represent
ing the ‘‘Procession of the Centuries,’ i
and magnificent displays of fireworks
will be among the chief features of the
programme.
