Man’s greatness is never recognized
until he is no more. Could Columbus
have revisited America last Friday and
seen the magnificent demonstrations
that were held in New York. Chicago,
O’Neill and several other cities, he
would have been fully repaid for the
trials and tribulations which he endured
upon his voyage of discovery. A great
ful people of a prosperous nation paid
him homage and will ever bold dear the
name of Columbus.
Edward Smith and May Harding were
united in marriage last Sunday at 4
o’clock, at the residence of Justice
Grass, about ten miles east of this citv.
Mr. Smith is a son of Mrs. S. M. Wa
gers* of this city, and the bride is a
daughter of Edward Harding, also of
this city. Tue Frontier congratulates
the young couple and hopes that their
married life may be long and prosper
ous and that the shadow of sorrow may
never darken the sunshine ot their
bright wedding morn.
W. L. Green, of Kearney, and J. D
Wolfe, independent candidate for state
treasurer, were in O’Neill la3t Thursday
and spoke to a rather slim audience in
the court house. In fact a majority of
those present were democrats and repub
licans. Green is one of those speakers
that always beeps an audience in good
humor and does a whole lot of talking
without saying much. The independents
had a parade that afternoon with six
teen voters in line. Quite a contrast to
two years ago.
About 11 o’clock Sunday night a lamp
exploded in the confectionery store of
Mr. Phettyplace, setting fire to a large
quantity of paper sacks under^ one of
the counters. Sam Thompson saw the
explosion and immediately touched the
fire button, which brought from their
peaceful slumbers the firemen, who,
with their usual dispatch, chased tie
flames into thin air. The prompt action
of the boys probably cheated us out of
a good article,' but they saved a whole
block of business buildings.
Last Tuesday afternoon fire destroyed
the stable, granary, farm machinery,
grain, hay and three horses, belonging
to Mrs. P. O'Connell, living about three
miles northeast of this city. At the
time of the fire Mrs. O’Connell was
away from home, there being no one
there but three children. It is not
known bow the fire originated. We un
derstand there was no insurance. This
is a severe blow to Mrs. O’Connell, as
she is a widow with a large family and
can illy afford to meet with such a loss.
It is a deep mystery to us how any
business man in O’Neill, or any other
town, can patronize the Holt County
Independent. Its editorials, if such
they may be designated, would dis
courage a stranger from settling in the
town or county, and are calculated to
drive away those who are already here.
It has never a good word for the county
or a town in the county, but on the
other hand would have strangers believe
the people bankrupt and the country a
Bea of sand blotted only by the grave
stones of those who have perished
within its boundaries. To patronize a
sheet of this discription is simply to
board and lodge an adder on your breast
which will bite and sting and scratch
and give you a black eye at every op
portunity. _ ,

The M. E. Church ia planning for a
new parsonage to be built this fall.
Plana haye been drawn for a very neat
building that will be a credit to the
church and city. If aome liberal
minded person has a lot that they would
be willing to donate for that purpose
within a few blocks of the church prop
erty the society would build on it.
Anyone having a lot to spare can see
Judge Benedict or O. O. Snyder. The
funds will be raised mostly by sub
scription. We invite all interested
parties to give us a helping hand. ,**
Last Saturday James DeYarman was
out to the farm of Harry Spindler, on
the Blackbird, and while there his at
tention was called to some trees which
s)(r. Spindler has on his farm. Jim
measured a cottonwood tree that bad
been planted 11 years and it was 80
inches in circumference one foot from
the ground-. He also measured an apple
tree, the circumference of which was 24
inches, one foot from the ground. Mr.
Spindler is one of our most prosperous
farmers and by his integrity and ability
has made for himself a beautiful home
in the fertile valley of the Blackbird.
J. D. Wolfe, Independent candidate
for state treasurer, while in O'Neill last
week dropped into The Frontier of
fice and inquired If it was an independ
ent paper. Although we had not the
honor of the gentleman's acquaintance,
we, informed him that this popular
weekly was neither an instigator or a
promulgator of the calamity howl,
whereupon he seemed greatly troubled;
a careworn expression came over bis be
whiskered countenance and with a frown
hovering like a storm cloud over the
windows of his soul he turned the knob
to the left and vanished through the
yawning portals without leaving his
name.
A modern Don Quixote, after reading
some of Maj. Wertz’ enchanting lines
on "the ideal autumn weather," in com
pany with his faithful squire straddled
each his favorite Razinoute and dappled
ass and disturbed the dust as they jour
neyed to the not far distant fields of an
alliance band. As they cantered across
the shorn and mottled meadows they
heard the trill and warble from the
throats of meadow larks and saw the
stately cottonwood filled with sear and
yellow leaves and last year’s bird nests.
They rode near by a commanding hay
stack where Don sprang from his leath
ery seat with much spryness, and kneel
ing within the shadow he did listen to
the settling hay, of which same hay he
gave ur>'i> his squire two handsful
twisted , '• 'my drilled to an unique
brae, arid V- Quixote turned his front
let to the west and addressed his squire
thus: “Behold the magnificence of the
sunset! It is prodigal enough if it but
allows its emblazoned needles to dance
a moment above the terrestrial rim,
but the sunset of Indian summer blinds
me with its beauty and paralyzes my
speech." They then led their steeds
close on a mile and quartered at a
modern inn, and they went to bed and
slept and dreamed, and Don did dream
of the bunch grass, the blue stem, the
buffalo grass, the rye straw and the rye
waltz. And about 8 p. m. he was greatly
disturbed of mind; through the hollow
halls of his tawny pate, wherein was
imprisoned a small quantity of grayless
brain, ran riot dreams of the laboring
man, and corruption in bigh places, and
the Idol did rise up and swipe Me Too
on the ribs until it pained him greatly,
and which same swipe did lacerate the
bed tick. And behold! when the hurly
burly was done he saw with his own
eyes the chaff and golden straw upon
his slumber gown.
Tour Apology Acoepted.
The Graphic would be untrue to itself
and to its patrons in Atkinson, if it
failed to sincerely apologize to the good
people of O’Neill and Stuart who so
generously came here to aid us with
their genial presence at the republican
rally last Saturday evening. The recep
tion accorded the visitors was, in no
sense, a greeting that Atkinson usually
extends to worthy strangers entering
her gates, and her citizens, without dis
tinction of party, are justly indignant at
the management of the Atkinson repub
lican club for their gross dereliction in
not making suitable arrangements for a
reception comensurate with the hearty
welcome all our people had treasured to
gracefully extend to them. Let the
mantle of charity be cast over this neg
ligent regard fur the amenities and
courtesies that should govern on such
occasions. The Graphic promises that
the next time there is a rally at Atkinson,
ample arrangements will be made, even
though it may be necessary to turn the
hose on the republican club.—Graphic.

Communication.
Clarence Sturt. Ban., Deputy Internal
Hbvbnub Collector,
My Dear Sir: I was gratified and am lined
to read your letter In last week's Frontier.
Uratlfled to know that my opinion of you,
formed by several years acquaintanceship,
was continued. The opinion I refer to Is
concerning your roputatlon for gratitude to
your friends. I am gratified that your oft
repeutod quotation, “Ingratitude is the
basest of sins" has no exemplification In you.
At least so far as your present occupation
Is concerned you are au employe of the re
publican party and you neusssurlly owo
allegiance to It; honoe I say you show your
gratltudo in seeking to perpetuate ,tn power
the party under which you are gaining your
livelihood.
If your arguments as presented In Tiik
Frontier were short of being exhaustive of
the matters troated therein you did less than
your duty to your employers and of course
I take It that your argument was os full and
complete an exposition of the matter as you
knew.
I was amused that you try to mislead the
Intelligent publlo of this community on a
subject that an acknowledged tyro can not
be misled. You use the expressions “pro
tective tariff" and “tarlfT" os Interehanguble
terms. Hoad over your article and see If you
don’t.
Again you say the democrats fuvorfroo
trade. You know this is denied by nlne
tentbs of the members of tho party and by
tlio party platforms. Your expressions on
this subject can be uccounted for only on
the hyphothests that you are like the boy
who told a lie so often that he finally came to
believe it himself and subsequently made
afHduvlt to It. Because some of the members
of the democratic party are lu favor of free
trade binds the party no more than the reso
lul Ions of the republican convention of Holt
oounty upon tho questions of free silver and
the abolition of national banks bind the re
publican party. Now be candid. If the ex
pression of one, two or any number of men
In the democratic party binds tho party to
free trade does not the expressions of a re
publican county convention bind tho repub
lican party to free silver, abolition of nation
al banks and endorsement of Haddock's vote
on the McKinley bill?
I deny that Washington ot al, mentioned
In your article, were protectionists. I use
the word protectionist advisedly and will
give a definition of it. A protectionist is one
who advises the tariff on foreign goods
made so high as to praotlcally prohibit
their Importation. Not laid for the pur
pose of raising a tux for the support of the.
government, but for the purpose of fostering
monopolies and allowing the manufacturers
to skin the consumer to an amount equal to
the amount of tho tariff duty, not one cent of
which the government ever receives. I do
say that Washington and the others at the
beginning of this government were In favor
of a tariff just like the democrats now advo
cate, that Is for the purpose of paying debts
and for the necessary expenses of the govern
ment, economically administered. And the
question of levying a duty for tho sole pur
pose of protection was unwritten and un
sung. Like tho democrats the framers of the
constitution were In favor of levying duties
on imports, In a sufficient amount, to defray
the expenses of government, and so adjusted
as to Incidentally protect Infant Industries.
The first congress concluded that an eight
percent, duty would be sufficient for all pur
poses, and so mode It. Tho infant Industries
thrived under this tariff duty. But now,
after a lapse of 10U years, this Infant Industry
says It require a duty of sixty per cent.
Now, Mr. ficlah, your giving and granting
hard names to the democratic party and to
democrats, is no argument that the princi
ples of government advocated by the purty
are wrong. Now. Is it?
You agk “it the democratic party is not a
free trade party, what is it? And if not a
protection party, what is it?” Now, I think I
have answered these questions before, hut
will epitomize, even ut the expense of repe
tition. The democratic party is averse to
all unnecessary taxation of whatever kind or
nature, or under whatever uom de plume it
may be levied. And it Is opposed to all species
of robbery, whether It be done under guise of
protection or by a highway man. It is in
favor of meeting the expenses of government
by a duty levied upon imported goods, and so
adjusted as to afford incidental protection to
new industries, and is opposed to the levying
Of duties and the prohibition of importation
of manufactured articles for the sole purpose
of protection. These are my views of the
party’s doctrine. Are they clear?
Now as to the constitutionality of the pro
tective tariff law, and I now speak for the
law which places a duty for the sole purpose
of protection.
The constitution provides, section 8. article
i. “Congress shall have power to lay and col
lects taxes, duties, imposts and excises; to
pay the debts and provide for the common
defense and general welfare of the United
States.”
In this article congross receives all the
power it possesses concerning taxes and
duties, c Democrats maintain that it is not to
the general welfare of the United States to
tax the many for the benefit of the few. The
democrats of Nebraska maintain that it is
not to the general welfare of the United
States that they and ail others in the state
are compelled to pay $1.00 per M more for
lumber to the lumber kings of Wisconsin and
Michigan thau they would have to pay if there
was no duty on lumber. The republicans
say that sawing lumber and cutting logs is
an infant industry. The democrats.say that
if the government under the constitution has
the right to. levy duties for the purpose of
succoring infant industries, like the lumber
mills, it has the same right, under the same
law, to lay direct taxes for the same pur
pose. Bead the article again and see if that
is not true.
If the government were to have its servants
go round through the country and levy a dol
lar a head on the people of Nebraska, to es
tablish a lumber mill In California, would
you believe the right existed under the
abovo law? “Not at all,” you would say, like
the democrats say now, that the government
had no constitutional authority to levy such
a tax. A learned judge of the supreme oourt
has said in an opinion handed down by him:
“Taking the property of individuals with one
hand and with the other bestowing it upon
private persons or corporations, is none the
less robbery, because done under the name
of law.” Now, Mr. Selah, do you believe that
the present tariff is adjusted for the purpose
of raising revenue to pay the debts, and pro
vide for the expenses of government, or for
the purposes of beneflttlng private maim*
factoring establishment!*, or both?
It It Is for the latter pur potto only, or for
both purposes, do you agree with me that
under the samo constitution that gives eon*
gross tho authority to pass such a law gives
It tho authority also to pass a lnw to lay
taxes, Imposts und excises for the same pur
pose?
I)o you bollevo It Is to be the general wel
fare of the United States that everything the
furraor In tho west and south has to buy Is
taxed, and everything he sells Is gauged by
tho markets of Liverpool?
Now we regret that the contemplated ao
tlon of the democrats In supporting Weaver
does not come up to your high opinion of
political ethics und decorum, and oonfess
that If the officeholders and politi
cians of your grand old party had
not boon so dilatory In expressing their
wants, perhaps many of us could be con
vinced that high taxullon, multiplicity of
officers and corruption in politics was
for tho publlo good.
Democrats uro not heartloss and It Is with
fusllng of pity and oommlserntlon that we
contemplate the dire results that will lollow
soon after March 4 when a Job lot of repub
lican officials will bo thrown on the public
to return to their original element as tillers
of tho soil and “hewers of wood and drawers
of water."
“The guy will laugh when thou art gone;
The solemn brood of care plod on
And each one ns before will cliuso Ills fuvor
phantom."

‘‘Consistency, It#.”
Shades of Judas Iscariot! thy ghost
must blush for the treachery and de
pravity of a liaeaal descendant of the
original Judas, who is now posing m n
moral luminary on the Independent,
J%rm It a ' steal.” If this be true, then S
the Independent man has written him
self down a thief. Has Mr. Woods for
gotten the Incident of one year agof "
Then he was body, soul, boots and
breeches Immersed in a similar "steal”
being perpetrated, in which he was a ,:
prime factor. Perhaps the following :
simple contract, signed by "Judas” ,}
Woods, has been forgotten by the little' '/&/,
"reformer:”
One year ago when the matter of printing
the delinquent tux list was before the board
for consideration, the bids for vrlntlna It
were about the sumo as It was lot for this
your. J. I*. Mullen was then a morn Dor of the
hoard and It will be remembered he was very
earnest In his opposition to allowing this
steal to be porpotruted against this county
and as a result of his and some other efforts
the printing was done for about ono-tlilrd
of what It was let for this year, when Jo Hun
ter controlled the matter.—O'Neill Independ
ent.
O’Nkiix, Ned., Sept. 7,1861.
"Whereas, The undersigned have
agreed to prorate In publishing the tag U
lists for this year, it Is agreed that who
ever does the work is to do it at the
lowest possible cost and divide the net
proceeds with the undersigned.”
Among the several parties to the '
above contract was Mr. Woods, one of
the editors of tho Independent, which
now nominates as a "steal” a legitimate
transaction—merely because the man
agers of that paper were too Indolent to
avail themselves of an opportunity to
bid, this year, for the contract to print
the tax list, which was (airly and openly
presented to them.
As to the contract aboye cited, Judas
did not wish to he known in the deal,
as he then, as now, was posing as a re
former, and to avoid putting in a bid,
this sweet scented scion of hypocrisy
agreed to take a certain amount of money
and "stay out.” Should be attempt to
deny this, it will be very easy to produce
affidavits substantiating the fact, by re
liable witnesses. Mow, did the little
wretch, after going Into what he sup- '•
posed was a steal—and the Independent
erroneously states is a steal—even at
tempt to keep inviolate bis written V-,:
agreement with the publishers of the
county? Hardly!' A few moments be
fore the bids were closed, through the
persuasion of J. P. Mullen and O. W.
Lessinger, be filed another bid, Just be
fore time was called, for one-third less
than that for which he agreed to pro
rate, and to avoid "whacking up” with
the boys, as he would necessarily be
obliged to do undor the terms of the
contract published above, like a sneak
ing cur, he made tracks for Atkinson,
and in the dark recess of his den, with
the assistance of older and more accom
plished schemers, made cut a lease of the
(then) Enterprise, to one Kidder, and
sent him down to O’Neill the following
morning to sign the contract and carry
out their dastardly plans. Judas did not
have the nerve to appear in person after
going so far with bis attempted “strai,” f
from the publishers, but lent his part
ner and the Kidder youth down to face
the music.
By this ttme the committee in charge
of the printing (a majority of whom
were alliance men,) became aware of
the facta in the caae, and be it said to
their credit, formally rejected all bida, >
and new bida were filed, resulting in the
Stuart Ledger receiving the plum.
Consequentiy the little anake waaleft
out entirely—wasn’t in it, and never
will be in it again, ao long aa the present
publishers of Holt county, (who were
wantonly betrayed by the Wood-en end
ot the Independent.) are allowed to live
and breathe the air of Holt county.
Put this in your pipe and smoke It, Jndaa.
This year the meaaly little varmint
was caught napping and is again con*
gealed in a frigid hyperborean turene,
where hia ghastly anatomy should ever
remain, that its natural putridity may
not impregnate the air with microbes
that breed a moral pestilenee. That it S
is a “steal" for publishers to obtain law*
ful rates for printing legal notices, no
one but a fool will assert. It would be
just as logical to state, beeause a super
visor is allowed $8 per day, that he
should not take it, because his services
are not worth it to the county—which,
in several cases may be true, so far as
Holt county is concerned. The Inde
pendent's strictures are not coated with
sufficient sense to cover the defects in a
plausible lie.—Graphic.
