Obituary. Once more the pall of death has fallen over our city and removed one of pur oldest settlers, James Cronin. He was a brother ot John Cronin who died a year ago last May. The deceased was born in the townland of Umeradwe, parish of Boherbwe, county Cork, Ire land, and was 73 years old the 15th of last April. He was never married. Thirty-seven years ago he came to America and lived with his brother until about fourfyears ago, since which time be has been living with C. C. McHugh. Deceased was an uncle ot Mrs. 0. 0. McHugh, and Mrs. Hate McGrath, William, Daniel and James Cronin, of this city, and Mrs. John Hayes, of At kinson. The funeral took place at 10 o’clock to-day from the Catholic ahurch and the remains were followed to the cemetery by a large crowd of sorrowing friends and relatives. Thb Frontiikr extends its sympathies to the friends and rela tives. . jurtnaay rarty. On last Thursday evening a large number of friends of William Hough assembled at his home in order to assist him celebrating his twenty-first birth day.

Says a corrspondence from Washing ton: “Public sentiment would be practically unanimous in sustaining the president should he issue a proclma tion absolutely prohibiting immigration for a period of one year; for although it is felt that the greatest danger of a cholera epidemic this year has passed, there is a general recognition of the peril we shall be in during the entire summer of next year, and a feeling that that it would greatly lessen that peril if all immigration were suspended until it is passed. The president is known to share in these beliefs but he is reluctant to assume authority which might be questioned in some quarters, even it is for the general welfare of all. From a cursory examination of the laws at the time his twenty-day quarantine proclamation was issued he formed the opinon that congressional action would be necessary to prohibit immigration. This week the attoaney general and his assistants are making a careful exami naton in order to ascertain whether there is any legal way by whitch immi gration may be stopped by restrictions through our consular abroad.” Chamberlain's Cough remedy, famous for its cures of bad colds and as a pre ventative and cure for croup, 50 cents per bottle. 25 Cent* Until Alter Election, The coating presidential and state campaign will be one of the most excit ing ever known.

Tns Frontier did not inaugurate an investigation of the supervisor system for any political reasons whatever and those who assert to the contrary do us a gross injustice. We have no friends in office whom we would for a moment defend wero they guilty of malfeasance. We could not aford to do it in any tense of the word. A newspaper that will defend a criminal and attempt to deceive the public is worse than the criminal, A newspaper should never stoop to de ception to make a point. If it has the good of the people at heart it will not. If its cause, honestly advocated, cannot stand, then it is for the good of the peo ple that it should fall, and tall it gener ally does. We have not made an asser tion u[ on this question that we do not believe true, but we have been assailed upon every side by contemporaries who argue solely from a political standpoint But as their sophistry has been held up to public gaze, their rank assertions suc cessfully contradicted by indisputable figures fresh from the archives of the county, they have been laughed to scorn and like the Arab, folded their tents and silently stolen away. The In dependent first came at us with flourish of trumpet and monumental exhibition of gall, but after a few rounds it van ished into that obscurity from which it had no license to emerge. Wo have stated and proven that the supervisor system is more expensive than that of the commissioner, and now the opposi tion have retreated into their partisan trenches and defy us to approach. The Sun of last week speaks of it as "A Bold Scheme" and comments upon it as though some dark and bloody work were about to be doqe, “a sight to shud der at, not to see,” and quotes columns of law attempting to show that the pres ent system could not be changed to that of five commissioners, and that war rants are worth more now than they were years ago, etc., each of which propositions we will answer separately. Of course Charlie should not be cen sured because he is not competent to dis cusb this question. It is his misfortune. Now, the Sun wishes to call special attention to the more important features of each section, but requests every voter and tax-payer to study the law thoroughly and then you cannot be hoodwinked by the ppople who will tell you'when they ask you to sign the pe tition for the repeal of the present law that we shall have five commissioners. They are not telling you the truth, as the law distinctly says that the old cqm missioner districts shail be restored. Correct. “The law distinctly says that the old commissioner districts shall be restored," but will will the solon who shapes the destiny of the rayless Sun kindly cite us to a section in the statute wherein it is written that new ones may not be created? There is a section in the statute of which the Sun editor has probably never dreamed. It reads like this: [Chap. 10, Sec. 887. Page 288.]—Pro vided, that the electors in any county containing less than one hundred and twenty-live thousand (125,000) inhabi tants may vote at any genera) election as to whether their county board shall consist of three (8) or five (5) commis sioners. Counties under township or ganization wanting to change to com missioner system may vote at the same time as to the number of commissioners desired. * * * * The commissioners shall have the qualifica tions of electors and shall be elected In their respective districts at the annual general election. And thus goes glimmering that por tion of the Sun’s argument. Let us look at the next: Section 68 says that the commissioners shall be appointed by the county clerk, county treasurer and county judge, who shall hold their office until their success ors arc elected, one year from next November. The above quotation is true and we have no desire to contradict It.. But when it says: That taxes are higher no one will dis pute; but it will not lessen them any by returning to the commissioner system. We beg leave to differ. It has been shown that it costs some $50,000 more per year to run the county under the present system than under the old; then why would taxes not be less if $50,000 less per year were levied? We antici pate that the Sun will cite us (o the fact that warrants are worth more now than they were years ago and ask us why taxes were not lower under the commis sioner system. We have a grenade that will blow those propositions into smith ereens. In 1884 the number of acres of land assessable in Holt county was only' 96.840. Io 1991 the number of eoree assetsa bl« Whs 1,099.120, A difference of ^^W9j980. And then another thing.

Surely no cause can be more worthy of popular attention. In no aection of Nebraska should the citizens feel greater interest In record ing in some convenient form,the moat im portant events in the Uvea of Its citizens than in this favored aection. Centuries hence, when the history of the American people ahull b6 written, the historian shall gather his data large ly f{pm the facta now being collected and placed in preaervable form. The greatest importance of local biographies lies in the interest which we may ex pect posterity to entertain for it. The work of the pioneer, humble in lta details, yet magnlflclent in its results, marks an epoch in the history of any locality, The nationality and characteristics of the settlers, their lives, adventures and hurdshlps, are all topics in which their descendants can never cease to hate a deep and abiding interest. How many of us can give, when ashed, a respect* ably complete account of the history of the comunity, or even of bis own fam ily? Few of us can tell more than the names of our grand parents, and some can not do that. This neglect of history which should be most familar to us, is not only strange, it ill unfortunate, Only painstaking toil can now do for our children wbat should have been done for us. The National Publishing Company has received such encouragement from those prominently interested in similar as Induces them to undertake the pub lication of an elaborate volume of genealogy and biography of northeastern Nebraska. The volume will contain personal sketches of old settlers and prominent and representative citizens of today, selected and compiled by a corps of ex perienced biographical writers, who will obtain the facts from the best sources, generally, however, from Interviews with the parties themselves or near friends. Great care should be taken in giving data, from which they are to be written. These sketches will be inserted without.charge. Realizing the difficulties accoinpaning the works of this kind, the company adopt the plan of submitting each sketch for correction either by mail or personally to the parties-themselves, or if not living, to their nearest kin, thus avoiding errors that would naturally creep into works of this kind. TIIE MECHANICAL FAST will be faithfully executed. The book will appear in large, imperial quarto form, constructed of excellent mater | ials, handsomely and substantially bound in fall leather, with gold em bossed sides and back title and gilt edged, pie illustrations will be ex ecuted in the best style of engravers art. The publishers will spare no reasonable effort to make the work satisfactory in all its parts. BIOGRAPHY. is the most desirable means of preserv ing the records of society, as it perpet uates individual memories and is in that form of personal narrative most attract ive to rising generations; and at the same time if conveys important lessons in life, because it is history, teaching by example and gives to all the benefit of each ones experience. The period has certainly come when the patriotic people of this region desire to perpetuate the names of its pioneers, to relate the story of their progress, and as all as well, to preserve the memory of those who are now carrying forward | the work1 thus inaugurated and who are instrumental in beautifying this natural favorite section. The civilization of our day, the enlightenment of the age and the duty that men of the present owe to their ancestors, to themselves and posterity, demand that a record of their lives and deeds be made. Let us give it our hearty encourage ment and secure its publication for the World's Fair. * St Patrick’s Pills. They are the best physic. They also regulate the liver and bowels.
