The republicans of the Third district
might do worse than to nominate Judge
Barnes for congress.

. Gov. Gko. Peck of Wisconsin is
mentioned by his "bad boy” for presi
dent. This is funny.
Billy Bryan is a bright boy, but from
appearances his constituents next fall
will not cbnsider him the tight man to
represent them in congress.
President Harrison gave Queen
Victoria to understand that the United
States proposed to have what was right,
no matter if it required an investment
in powder and lead.
Al Towle is entitled to the handle of
“Hon.” but sinee he has commenced to
worship at the mysterious shrine of
Mecca he is something more noble since.
Politics now has no honors for Al.
Omi of the reasons Riven by demo
crats for the nomination of Gov. Boies
is ‘'that he has been a republican up to
witbin a few years.” Of course this
helps him out, as it shows he wns not
always wrong.
The editor of the Bloomfield Monitor
wants to be a delegate to the Minneapolis
convention. If a country editor has
money enough to spare tomake a play
of this kind we hope he will' win. Guess
he is running a bluff.
It appears to be a difficult matter to
secure an increase in the pension of
John Grady under the existing laws, but
we think that if our congressman was
any good he would work it up and make
a go of it.
The great military triumvirate that
Wins battles for the democratic party—
General Force-fraud, General Gerry
mander, and General Cussedness—would
have worthy civilians as commanders'
in-chief in the persons of David B. Hill
and Isaac P. Gray.
We desire to call Ross Hammond’s
attention to the fact that E. Rosewatei
is not dead, and that his obituary notice
was prematurely published. P. S.—
Since writing the above we have reread
Ross* beautiful eulogy to the dead, and
find that it was the great stallion, Ed.
Rosewater, that was referred to and no
the editor. We join in the tears.

; In a speech in Alabama the democratic
necessity, Senator Hill, said: "1 believe
yon have the right to control the ma
chinery of yottr elections and that the
government of the United Slates has no
constitutional or moral right to inter

the south.

Why would it not be a wise move for
the republicans to go to Omaha this
time for their candidate for governor
And if they go to Omaha what’s the
matter with ex-Mayor Broatch? A
good dean man nnd a consistent repub
lican like Broatch would he acceptable
to the country.
ErouitF.s that do not lie show that
over $20,000 of value was added to the
woolen goods production of this country
under the McKinley law during the last
ten months of the year 1891, and these
woolen goods were never before so low
in price ns they were during that time
and are now.

Sioux City has a mayor who proposes

letter, whether the laws he approved by
the majority or not, and us a conse

Ik we lived in the Third district E. K.
Valentine would be our choice for con
gressman. Val. can and would do more
for the people—he not only has the dis
position hut knows how—than any other
man that could be selected, lie now
bolds a very lucrative and honorable

Depend upon it that the southern
alliances will support the democratic
nominees for president and vice presi
dent. It will be the same old thing
down there, while up north it is ex
pected that the independents of republi
can antecedents will also aid the demo
crats by not voting against them. The
Kuontieii knows of a good many inde
pendents who are beginning to tinder
stand the true situation, nnd will refuse
to fall into tho trap this fall.
Mohry is much more plentiful in the
east tlmn it has been for years, anil the
rates of interest are being reduced to a
noticeable extent. This does not appear
to do this part of the country much good
as yet. It is unfortunate that our peo
ple are compelled to borrow, but if the
rates were’reasonable it would not be
near so great a hardship nnd all would
be in a more prosperous condition.
There is something wrong somewhere
when money can be had in Illinois for
6 per cent, and commands three and four
times that much here.
Tiib alliance of Stuart, as a body, 1ms
adopted a resolution of boycott against
the Ledger, and thereby a posterior of
hideous appearance has been exposed t j
the public view. Tub Fkontirh pre
dicts right here that this silly action of
the alliance will do more injury to the
misnamed "independent” pnrty of that
particular precinct than any other one
thing that could have occurred. It is so
ludicrous that sensible men will become
disgusted, and the Ledger wilt prosper
and grow fat over such an action—such
nil attempt to injure a man simply be
cause he did not agree with a party of
men who were not honest in their own
claims of honesty. Independence!
Why, this action by a lodge or league is
so plainly coutrary to independence and
freedom of speech that it is damnably
reprehensible. We are inclined to the
belief that the meeting of this alliance
was very slirnly attended, and that the
sentiment expressed will be denounced
by the majority of the independants
themselves.
The writer is a friend of the farmer,
I iuu iouvhi, ui uiu aiau gtutiunj
a lid the past twelve years residence in
tbis county ought to be proof of this
fact, but we have no sympathy with
proceedings that smack more of intoler
ance and anarchy thnn of fairness and
justice, the principles which should
actuate any organization that labors for
the good of the people. We always
stand ready to defend the masses against
the classes when the masses are right,
when wrong should be adjusted, but
when we candidly think a body of men
are engaged in persecution at the insti
gation of a few schemers we propose to
be just as free in condemnation. Kight
is right—wrong is wrong—and we esteem
the wny Treasurer Scott has been treated
by the majority of the board, as wrong,
and that this boycott of the Ledger for
so stating an considering the matter is
uncalled for.
There are probabilities in view that
“it” will be the old ticket, Harrison or
Cleveland, notwithstanding burglarious
Jlill and Tammany. Mr. Cleveland was
defeated upon his record of four years
as president, notwithstanding liis well
disciplined party, and all the federal
patronage at his command as a campaign
element. Furthermore, the Cleveland
party was then a united democracy.
What defeated Mr. Cleveland? It was
not his record on the finance questions.
He was and is opposed to free coinage
of silver. It was the soldier vote plus
the tariff a la Horizontal Morrison, prin
cipally, that changed the balances, and
/ sent democracy to a back seat. Besides
‘ 'liis immensity” was opposed to a
second team, until lie bad entered upon
his first, when lie immediately began to
plot and shape tilings for n second. lie
lias been a candidate for a second term
ever since, and the ingratitude of Hill
and the Uillites, lias roused tbe tiger in
Mr. Cleveland's breast. He is now will
ing to forego those delightful home
comforts and pleasures that constitute
earthly happiness, upon which he coun
ted so much, to again become the choice
of his party and be vindicated. Presi
dent Harrison, on the other hand, hag
never advocated the one term humbug—
he has never been a candidate for a
second term, or a defeated candidate
seeking n renoinination; he hag given
the countrv a clean, aucceggful nnd
vigorous administration, he hag the res
pect of the people and all partieg. He
will be nominated on the first formal
ballot at the Minneapolis convention,
because he has been faithful to every
promise, fair to all and true to himself
and the country’s best interests. He has
not been hampered with cabinet scandals
like Giant was—as the result of mis
placed confidence of personal friends.
He has not violated his promises to the
soldiers; he has not made any bad breaks
to offend the dignity of his high office,
or shock the better judgment and good
taste of American cstizenship. If it
shall be Harrison or Cleveland, the
country will choose Harrison—every
solid interest of the country demands
that the prostituted democracy as repre
sented by the hungry horde of politicians
demanding spoils, be defeated, whether
Cleveland or Hill, or another he the
leader.
FROM O’NEILL TO HOT SPRINGS.
Rambles of the Whilom Editor of
“The Frontier."—What He Saw.
Hot SrniNGs, Ark., March 19.—[To
the Editor of Tub Fiiontier.]—Monday
morning when I left O'Neill it was with
» feeling of pleasure to think that I was
going where 1 would escape some of the
tdustering impudence of March weather
in the north. I had been suffering for
nearly a month from a severe cold con
tracted in one of our genial March
winds, nnd my condition generally was
not the best. I remember seeing you at
the depot and your face was as blue and
your nose ns colorless as those of some
your Keeley students, and you looked as
though you would enjoy a trip such as it
was my purpose to make nbout as well
as anyone I knew. But to be brief,
surely, I thought, when I get to Kansas
City or St. Louis I will find spring in all
her gloiy and geniality. But when I
did reach there mv hopes were dashed to
the ground, for I found that either old
winter had changed his habitation or the
beautiful pictures painted by the pens of
real estate brokers and such were myths.
At St. Louis my meditations were of a
character similiar to those indulged in
at home, and you can well imagine my
surprise on reaching this state to find 10
inches of snow on the level and the
atmosphere quite similar to that of
our own. We traveled through snow all
the way from St. Louis, and the farther
south we got the heavier the snow
seemed to be. It has extended down
into Louisiana and Texas as well, and of
course has done much damage to early
fruit and garden truck. Peach trees
have been in blossom here two weeks or
more and the gardens all up. The snow
came Wednesday and is still several
inches deep. It is beginning to melt on
the sunny side thus early this morning
(8:30) and gives promise of entirely dis
appearing today. It has frozen every
night since the snow came and the day
before it began to suow was very cold.
The “oldest inhabitant” has nobly
come to the rescue, however, and pious
ly asserts, between shivers, that nothing
like this has ever occurred since he be
came a resident here and he has lived
here all the way from ten to fifty yeais.
And, judging from the honest expres
sion of their faces and the frequent
shivers indulged in, this invasion of the
"sunny south” by northern cold and
frosty elements is lather phenomenal.
So much for the weather. I will now
tell yout renders something of my trip
and the country.
Leaving O’Neill at 10 o’clock Monday
morning we were soon speeding towards
Omaha. At the depot I met Mr. Swing
ley, father of our own and only Fred
Swingley of the First, and we had a
very pleasant visit. Mr. S. has lived in
Nebraska three years, and thinks there
is a great future iu store for the state, is
much in love with it, and thinks this
will be another good year. All along
the road there were evidences of activity
among the farmers and business men.
When we reached Omaha I at once
went to the postoflice and hunted up
Mr. Vandervoort, chief clerk of the rail
way mail service, and after securing
from him a letter to J. P. Lindsey,
superintendent of division No. 7 of the
railway mail service, hendquarters at
St. Louis, we went down into the post
office room and Mr. Vandervoort kindly
introduced me to various heads of de
partments. I found these gentlemen
courteous and obliging and all enthusiats
for Omaha and Nebraska, and quickly
and imphatically acquiesced in a remark
I made that this would be another good
year for Nebraska and that the evidence
of it was in the very air. The Omaha
postoffice is well conducted but woefully
crowded and they will not get their new
building any too soon.
Later I found my way to the"Arcade,”
HATS, GAPS, GENT'S FURNISHING GOOD
BOOTS, SHOES, TRUNKS AND VALISES.
No Firm in north Nebraska has Stocked Up as we have this season. It presents
opportunity for economical buying that nobody can aford to miss our imense store this seas*1"1
presents. A Sight Worth Seeing in tlie way we have Stocked Up for the SprC
trade, and that LOW Prices we will give you this season on Clothing is worthy tl,'
patronage of every customer in Holt county. Our immense stock was bought direct fro
the manufacturers, which enables us to do just what we advertise and will prove the same?'

took supper, wrote a few letters and
at 8:30 struck out for the Webster street
depot for the Missouri Pacific train
which bore me south. At 0:30 the train
pulled out and as soon as possible I went
to bed and in the morning woke up in
Kansas City. This is a city of hills and
hollows, tunnels and viaducts. Having
three hours here before the fast mail for
St. Louis left,I took a cable car from the
Union depot out into the heart of the
city. Walking back I stopped at the
office of the Journal, had a little chat
with the business manager and then
took a circuitous route down to the
depot.
The Missouri legislature has been in
session several weeks and among other
things it gerrymandered the state so that
it is cut up in a worse shape than any
of the famous bandits of that state ever
were or could be. It may be the means
of making more of the districts repub
lican, but of course the 4>bject is to
make them all still more solidly dem
ocratic. There is a great revulsion
against the measure and the people may
rebuke tbe democratic managers for
their bold thieving.
The fast mail pulled out of the Kan
sas City Union depot at 9:30 and I was
a passenger thereon, on my very first
trip through Missouri. There were two
inches of snow at Kansas City and we
did not get out of the snow belt until
we reached St. Louis. I had expected
to see some beautiful country going
across the state, but was disappointed,
largely on account of the snow, how
ever. From Kansns City to Jefferson
City the road passes through a prairie
country.most of the way and 1 judge
that two weeks later will be very beau
tiftil to look upon. But the farms and
farmers '"seemed to me much behind
those of Nebraska—there were miles of
rail fences and much evidence of shift
lessness. But they have the best of
soil and a little more enterprise and
thrift will make this state a wealthy one
in faot as it is in name. Missouri is
rich in good soil, good timber, fine stone
and minerals of various kinds. From
Jefferson City the road (Mislouri Pacific)
passes through a very rough country,
most of the way following the Missouri
river. We passed through three or
four tunnels of considerable length.
Near St. Louis the road crosses and fol
lows the Meriimac river into the city.
This is a prettier stream than the Mis
souri and the country along it better
developed, me better farming land
though, I judge, is back from these
streams, for there certainly must be
larger farming interests, immense tim
ber lands and wonderful mines to sup
port such a great city as St. Louis.
It was about sevsn o’clock when we
reached St. Louis. 1 met a nice old gen
tleman on the train whose son was down
to the depot to meet him with a carriage.
They took me to a nice hotel opposite
the great exposition bulding. Here I
procured a room, cleaned up and then
had supper. While eating I learned
that Theodore Thomas, the great Brook
lyn musician, gave a concert that night
in the exposition bulding, with a superb
orchestra of a hundred pieces or more.
Of course I lost no time in securing a tick
et and for two hours sat entranced with
their sweet strains. It was pretty rich
for me, but I liyed through it nicely and
was then in good shape for a peaceful
night’s reat.
Next morning, Wednesday, after break
fast, I started out to see the sights. I
first visited the Missouri Pacific
headquarters and meet Mr. B. Allison,
son of Mrs. Allison who formerly lived
near Lambert, our county. Found Mr.
Allison busy with liis duties; he looks
atter the advertising of the Missouri
Pacific and Iron Mountain railroads and
it requires the assistance of a half dozen
clerks to do all the work in his depart
ment. After upending a pleasant half
hour here I visited other points of inter
est and after dinner, letter in hand, I
went to the federal building and sought
out Mr. Lindsey, whom I found a most
agreeable and accommodating gentle
man. A few moments later we went down
stairs and I was formally presented to
Isaac 11. Sturgeon, assistant postmaster
and John H. Steger, secretary to Post
master Harlow. This latter gentleman
was out of the city, as was also Mr.
Clarkson, postmaster at Omaha. Wheth
er they were following my example or
I theirs and taking a little time off for
vacation I do not know, although I
judge neither perhaps, as they were at
tending a conference with the post
master general at Washington.
, I later was introduced to John H.
Cookron, superintendent of the city de
livery. who piloted me over the main
floor of the model postoffice of the
United States. It is certainly a mam
moth affair and admirably conducted.
There are several hundred employes and j
all of them experts in their various de
partments. A score or more of colored
men are among the number and they are
as efficient and intelligent as their white
brothers. I cannot in this article give
an extended description of the office, but
would simply say that every department
is tuorougn ana complete ana tne work
is done with a comparatively less force
than is employed in Chicago or other
larger offices. I also met F. C. Kohr,
superintendent of the money order de
partment; John Grogan, superintendent
registry department; W. H. Lamb, su
perintendent of mails,and various others
assistants in these departments. I found
every one of them obliging and cour
teous without being patronizing and all
made me feel perfectly at home. The
assistant postmaster was especially kind
to me. and to him and all of them 1 feel
deeplygrateful for their many kindnesses.
About 5:301 again visited the mailing
department. This is the busiest time of
the day, as all of the letters mailed dur
ing the afternoon are then handled and
made up to go out on the various mail
trains leaving the city in the evening.
Was shown through the foreign mail de
partment, where they receive and make
up mail for all the foreign countries.
Here there is much to infercst and in
struct. Then in the basement is the pa
per department, devoted exclusively to
that. There are tons of mail received
there every day, and on that duy all the
weekly papers came in and it was espe
cially crowded and all hands were busy.
I shall remember with pleasure my first
visit to a metropolitian postoffice and
feel that I will be much better able
to conduct our own properly from what
I learned while there. Will hardly be
able to model it after the St. Louis post
office, but gathered many points that
will assist' me in the move.

the Globe-Democrat office a half hour
and was kindly treated by the assistant
foreman and “make-up". This office
works eighty men and when they get in
their new office, now nearly completed,
will work 120 at least. The Globe-Dem
ocrat is the greatest newspaper in the
west. After leaving this office I went to
my hotel and settling my bill took a
street car for the depot. The Iron
Mountain train left for the southwest at
8:10 p. m. and we were soon speeding
on our way, leaving the great
city behind us. I was most favorably
impressed with St. Louis. Her people
make one feel at home and they possess
to a remarkable degree the thrift amf
enterprise of the north, coupled with the
congeniality and chivelry of the south.
The city is just between the two sections,
on the north and the east they have the
great corn and wheat fields to draw from
and on the south aud west the great
cotton fields, timber and mining interests
to assist in making St. Louis a great city
and a grand monument of the culture
and material interests of the country
surrounding her.
Leaving St. Louis at night I could not
see much of the Iron mountains, al
though the moon rose just in time to
give me a dim idea of their grandeur and
of the wealth yet hidden within them,
some of which, however, was piled out
along tho track, young mountains of
crude ore waiting the process which
would convert then into articles of use
fulness. Towards morning we reached
the timber belt of southeast Missouri
and from that point to Hot Springs and
even on down through the state to Texas,
as well as almost all over the state,
there is one vast sea of timber—pine ce
dar, oak, cypress, gum and scores of
others—seventy varieties in all. We
reached Little Rock at nine o’clock
Thursday morning, and were glad to
get a warm, meal even at 75 cents. On
re-entering the cars who should I first
see but F. M. Smith, who your reader'
will no doubt remember as the genial
foreman of the Chicago Lumber yards
at our place several years ago .Mr
Smith is now cashier of tbe bank* of
Malvern and has prospered very much
since moving south. Not onlv tmiar
dally but otherwise, as they now have
four members in their family, two hi.vs
to bless their home, and their general
health is as good as when in Nebraska
It was 10:30 when we reached Malvern,
my farthest objective point south. Hoc
I passed a pleasant half day with friend
Smith and family and formed several
pleasant acquaintances, among tiieur
several democratic editors - -have time
there, but they do not possess horn-.
There are very few republican papers in
Arkansas, even at Little Rock, the eitpi
tol. one cannot thrive. I had beard
much of the razor backed hogs of Ar
kansas and here I found them roaming
the streets at will, here and there pick
ing up a stray bite to keep skin and
bones together. They' have everythin^
here in its native simplicity.
Malvern is a city of 2000 souls, is the
county seat (“site” they call it here,
has a beautiful court house, fine churches
and fair schools. There is quite r.
sprinkling of northern people here. I
could not quite undeistand where the
people got their support from, and I was
miormca unit it came maiDly from coi
ton. But that is so low this year that
farmers are in a very bad condition
financially. I asked if they didn’t grow
corn, potatoes, etc. and why, and was
told that they did not and the only rea
son any one advanced why they did not
was their indifference and shiftlessness.
The farmers here scarcely raise anything
to supply their own needs, except fruit,
and buy almost everything, depending
principally upon cottou for their ready
money and the necessaries of life. This
they will have to quit if they ever become
prosperous and self sustaining. Willi
all their genial climate and warm fertile
soil, in the bottom lauds at least, they
are a generation or more behind their
northern brothers. They might be
ahead of them if they would only get a
“rustle” on them, for where it has been
tested they can grow almost anything
here they put in the ground. They need
new blood and thrift to develope their
country.
1 came over to this place Thursday
evening and will return this afternoon
to Malvern to spend Sunday. I like Hot
Springs better than anything I have seen
so far in the 6tate and it certainly has a
great future before it. The city is built
between the mountains, they call them
here, pretty high hills they seem to me
only, and has many large buildings
—two of the largest.hotels in the country.
The government has reserved the Hot
Springs mountains, others as well, and
on this one has thegovernment buildings,
hospitals, bath houses, etc. Eatlis here
cost put 35 cents and 15 cents for an at
tendant. They are not allowed to
uuarge more, me popumuon ui
city is now about 14,000 and they have
7,000 or8,000 visitors all the time. Thous
ands of people are bcnefitted here everv
year by the hot waters and as a health
and pleasure resort it is growing in pop
ular favor every year.
For several years there was a bitter
fight here among the old residents about
the title of some of the best land, but
the government stepped in, divided part
of the land among the contestants, gave
patents for it and placed the rest u|‘°J
the market. These will be auctioned ou
on April 12 next and will in all probabil
ity go pretty high. Real estate is up
here and is considered good property to
hold. The Iron Mountain and Missouii
Pacific railroads sell round trip ^
from Omaha and other points to ho
Springs, for this sale, at one fare for tin
round trip. People who wish to inves
in property here, or see the country wi^
get good accommodations on these re*'-*
and will be paid for their trip bj t11
sights they see, wheather they buy 11
not. And if you are ailing in anv
you can get relief by bathing in tnes
springs of perennial, life-giving l’ro',L,
