Chairman.
v- 'Jo* Bartley is resting easy.
the ticket It worth at least five thousand
extra votes.
“Qeneral” Stevenson predicts that
Illinois will elect democratic electors,
f ‘'The “general” it not much of a prophet
(tt at home.
Tbb democrats down in the third are
talking of ^Billie Mungor for congress.
V-, They will not elect so good a man.
^J^ujger is Utile better than his party.
Tub Frontier advises harmony at
t. tike primaries neat Saturday. We can
' net afford to get into a racket of any
V kind at this time, no matter if you do
think there is cause. Keep cool and be
, harmonious.
Judge CnouNsK should be nominated
for governor. Then there would be no
question about success. The republi
cans cannot afford to nominate a man
for the head of the ticket because he is a
good fellow and stands well with the
hoys. A-vote-getter is what is wanted
this year, and Judge Crounse is the man.
\ The republicans should choose a can
,• nKuate for auditor who has been in no
way connected with the present man
agement of that office. There arc
plenty of good clean men in the party
outside of Lancaster county. Eugene
Moore would be a winner at the polls,
and in the office would be popular with
the eastern people.
The thirteen ballot box stutters who
are now wearing strides in the New
Jersey penitentiary are the men who
, made Abbett governor of New Jersey.
But no one has heard of Abbett resign,
ing since these criminals were convicted.
Watch out for New Jersey to go repub
lican next November. With a fair vote
she will do so. j
It does not make any difference how
many times lie is defeated, so long as he
lives, Cleveland will go on* being the
only j£mocratic candidate for president.
"ifc^’"“•the only one elected in over thirty
that will make him a perpet
ual candidate. Other aspiring demo
crats ylio look longingly towards 1898
might as well take notice.
;V
A new substance lias been discovered
Hint bus nine times the power of extin
guishing fire that wnter has. Some of
this stuff ought to be made up into n
cocktail for David It. Hill. It might
also aid Dana's digestion ot the over
indulgence in crow which he is just
now giving way to.
The United States Senate is giving
evidence that it docs not propose to see
the government starved by the demo
cratic house. The democrats nrc striv
ing to get away home, so as to go cam.
pnigning, and apparently they do not
care much whether the government is
provided for before they go or not.
We spent two weeks in "General’’
Stevenson’s country, and learned a good
deal about the man. He has nfliliated
with nil parties except the republicans,
running for congress once on the green
back ticket, and during the war was a
sympathizer with the south nnd a mem
ber of the Knights of the Golden Circle.
I)f course he expects to get tlio soldier
rote, iiut it will not be where he is
f n n vv n
Tim writer desires to state that he
was in no wav connected with the post
otlice alTair, thrt lie knew absolutely
nothing i^bout it until he received a let
ter from his wife while at Peoria, 111.,
and that he wax very much surprised
thereat. We make this statement be
cause the report has been circulated that
wo were in the deal, in fact that we
were in Washington, when as a matter
of fact we were not east of (Jhicngo.
Tub present congress is going to ap
propriate just as much money as the
“billion dollar" congress did. The
only difference is that they have worked
with no regard to the needs of the public
business, but simply with a tegard to
make a record of economy before the
people. The result is that the public
business is crippled with injudicious cuts
where money is really needed, and still
the record is one of more money si ent
than in the previous congress.

John W. Foster, the newly ap
pointed secretary of state, has been con
fidential advisor to the secretary for two
yenrs pnst. He has been an influential
agent in the preparation and negotiation
of the treutics recently enacted, and is
cognizant of the reciprocity policy and
the diplomatic relations of the state de
partment. Men of all parties arc
agreed that it is one of the best appoint
I ments that could be made. (Aid it was
confirmed by the senate without even
I being referred to the committee on
foreign relations—a distinction usuallv
accorded only to the nominations of
ex-senators.
---►
The present reform board of super
visors is rather a costly body for the
people to maintain. There used to he
kicking when the republicans had con
trol, and the self styled reformers pro
posed to revolutionize matters, cut down
expenses and manage the uffairs of the
county iB a noticeably economical man
ner. Have they done itV No. Why, in
the matter of pay to themselves the
first half of the year shows over $15000.
And $13,000 more expense has been made
by this board so far this year than was
made the first half of last year. The
Frontier will present some figures
later for the consideration of the people.

Grandpa Van Wyck spoke in O'Neill
yenterday to a fairly good house. When
he commenced to harangue his listeners
he saw Shorl-lmnd Reporter King tak
ing notes and the idea of being reported
verbatim worried the old man consid
erably and he assured Mr. King that he
would esteem it a great personal favor
if ho would not have his speech publish
ed in full. A synopsis would be all right,
yes, yes, yes, but not the whole thing.
This has a tendency to show that the
grearter part of his talk was rot and
could not stand th<? test of truthful
criticism. Otherwise why not have it
circulated as widely as possible and
make converts in the remotest corners
ot the state? Van is a hypocrite and he
knows it better than anybody.
Tub one new feature of the presi
dential campaign of 1893 is the peoples
party, which makes its first bid for fa
vor in a national election in the platform
of the Omaha convention. Practically
the same olements, it would seem, con
stituted the union labor party of 1888.
The platform is one of the most re
markable ever adopted by any party.
Apparently it is the product of an offi
cial "lecturer” for some secret associa
tion, especially intent upon working off
what.he considers the telling points of
his address upon a public neither so im
pressible or confiding as his usual audi
ences. Its style is so tragic and its pres
entation of subjects so obscure as to
make it an obstacle rather than an aid
to whatever prospects the party adopt
ing it may have had. Extravagance of
statement and indefinite lietcrogeneous
1 ness of subject appear in it ut their
very worst. Only a few times in our
history lias there appeared a man able
to combine argument, invective and the
accurate statement of principle in the
samo instrument, and the evident at
tempt to imitate their work by persons
utterly lacking this peculiar power, has
produced that strange jumble of extrav
agence, nonsense, and inaccuracy which
this party has adopted as theVifflcial ex
position of what it desires itself to be
esteemed. The inevitable effect is to
impair judgment in the confidence of
men who thus advertise themselves as
desirous to be accounted foaming ranters
rather than calm and dispassionate form
ulates of principles.

Geo. B. Kkiu.in, attorney for the
Storm Lake loan and trust company, is
well known in Holt county and h pop
ular with all. George has always been
a rod-hot democrat and the following
article taken from the Storm Lake Trib
une will he a pleasant surprise: "The
political situation in this section Is most
llatterlng to the republicans. We could
name quite a number of democrats who
in past years have been earnest and
active party workers, but who in the
pending campaign will cither vote for
Harrison or will take no active part in
the campaign. Different reasons are
given, but the most cheer'ng one is the
satisfaction felt toward the present ad
ministration. When men change their
political affiliations, there is often a de
sire to avoid publicity on ncount of the
annoyance of former party associates,
who are inclined to make life unpleasant
for a season. But one of this number
referred to who has not held his opinion
in reserve is Geo. B. Kerlin, the affable
and geneial attorney for the Ballou
State Bunking Company of Bioux City,
lint who resides in Btorm Lage. Mr.
Kerlin has generally regarded Mr. Har
rison's administration with admiration,
and has stood second to none in recog
nizing Blaine’s splendid management of
the state department and his reciprocity
measure; but still he clung to democ
racy, and had Boise received the nom
ination for president and the conven
tion had not unmasked itself in favor of
free trade, he would still be marching in
the democratic columns,, notwithstand
ing his satisfaction with the manner in
which the present administration has
dealt with foreign and domestic affairs,
and especially ns compared with the
Cleveland administration. Mr. Kerlin
has been one of the most prominent and
zealous young democrats in the county,
but has now placed himself squarely on
the republican national platform and
will support Harrison and lteid.”
WAGES ATHOMESTEAD.
The democratic pi ess has not lost an
issue since the riots at Homestead in
using that calamity as an appeal to
passion. It has been set forth as the
due result of protection. The demo
cratic congress sent a committee to the
scene or trouble to harvest campaign
materials. Protection is only a sclume
for the oppression of the workingman>
they profess, and here is a typical in
stance.
| The committee of congress began its
investigation. What it learned with re
gard to wages amazed the manager of
the investigation, the committee chair
man. What the wages are at Home
stead may be inferred from an article in
the Iron Age of June 30, giving the
wages paid in a well equipped mill in
western Pennsylvania, working under
the Amalgamated scale. Ther.mills at
Homestead are said to pay the highest
wages going. The Iron Age gives the
wages of rollers, working eight-hour
turns, ns $13.31 per eight hours in the
seven-inch mills, $19.76 per eight hours
in the 10-inch mill, $14.93 in tlie guide
mills and $7.78 in the bar mills. The
heaters are paid in the same grades of
work$0.90, $9.88, $7.47and $5.83. The
blast furnace helpers are paid $3.75;
ladlemen $2.75 te $5.75, converters $4.50
to $8.50; and rail stiaighteners$10aday.
Is it any wonder that the chairman of
the investigating committee was amazed?
The democratic party has a remedy
for this state of things. It is to adopt
free trade, shut up the American shops
and have the work done in England.
How much do men earn there? English
pay for the first class, the rollers, is $2.50
a day; lor the heaters, $1.60 for the
blast furnace keepers, $2.00; for the
ladlemen $1 to $1.15; converter men,
$1.45; rail straighteners, $1.35. Un
skilled labor in the American mills is
$1.50 and in England 62 cents. Men iu
the mines where the raw material is got
out get $2.25 in America. The English
get there ore in a country where able
bodied men are to be .had for 36 cents a
day.
The democratic party proposes to
throw this country open to a free trade
scale of living, in which the condition
of labor does not admit of honest and
ibdustrious men owning their homes.
Homestead is not so bad an illustiation
of protection after all. Its men have
money in the bank and own their own
homes. It is a good theme to think
over, and the more Americans think it
over the less they will care to send their
trade abroad or adopt the English con
dition here.
POLITICAL POINTERS.
Barkis is WLin’.
For senator of Thirteenth district W.
D. Mathews of O’Neill.—Garfield En
terprise. _
Jos’s Great Head.
Jo« Bartley drifted in from Akinson
yesterday to see how his boom for the
treasurership was standing the dry spell.
Bartley declared that the rumor that he
had tied up with Tom Majors and
George Bowerman was absolutely with
out foundation, and furthermore ex
plained that such a move would be the
height of folly, as it was exceedingly
doubtful whether or not Majors could
turn over the goods in case he bargained
to do so, as Majors bailed from down in
Wortham’s country and it could hardly
be supposed that such a deal could be
carried out even if he desired it. As for
Bowerman, he declared that he wouldn’t
tie up witn him anyway. He said that
the auditor's office, as run for the past
four years, was responsible to a
greater degree than any of the others
for the disrepute into whioh the repub
lican party had fallen with the farmers
of the state aud that the nomination and
election of Bowerman would probably
mean the retention of Tom Benton in
the office as deputy and a continuation
of the present state of affairs, lie said
be was running ag the candidate of the
northern and western portions of the
state, and that when it came to a ques
tion of geographical qualification he
was ’way ahead of the other fellows.—
Omaha Bee. ’_
nothing the Hatter With Cronnso.
A good deal has been said about Hon.
Lorenzo Crounse ns a candidate for gov
enor on the republican ticket, and it is
a subject on which a good deal more
might be said. In the event that Judge
Crounse should be nominate)! and he
would accept the honor, as he doubtless
would, the party would haye a candidate
that could lead the hosts to victory as
Gherman swept with his army from
Atlanta to the sea. Judge Crounse is a
man of experience, who has made an
honorable and consistent record in public
affairs—one that would no1, need to be
explained or apologized for; his record
would be a chief factor of his strength.
Besides this he could make a campaign
second to no man in Nebraska. He is a
speaker and a debater who is the peer of
any. Van Wyck with his paternalism,
his sub-treasury scheme, his flat foolish
ness, his free trade theories, his income
tax tom foolery, his foraging-on-the-ene
my-government-ownership-of-railwa y s
utopia acd other corroded sophistries,
would be dripping blood in every turn
in the road if Judge Crounse should get
after him.
Mr. Crounse has taken little hand in
recent campaigns, but he is no back
number. He is abreast of the times and
the political knights who might enter
the lists against him would be made to
do some mighty lively dancing if they
escaped with their hair.—Fremont
