The only fault we find with him is that he is on the wrong side of v the fence politically. Tan friends of Mosher, of the defunct 'Capitol National Bank, of Lincoln, offer ;t« pay the amount of his Indebtedness . providing he is not prosecuted. ■ He has committed a crime against the laws of the state of Nebraska and should be punished accordingly. * Baton the' reciprocity treaty with Cuba was made, 18 months ago the 31st of December last, the exports from the i United States to that island have been . *28,889,268, as compared with 815,886,855 V for the 16 months ending August 31, i 1891, an increase of 812,983,906. It to reported that Col. Prank P. Ireland, of Nebraska City, refused the oillce of assistant secretary of the treas ury, ■ and said that he was not a candidate for, nor would he.accept any offioe in the gift of the administration. Ha should he given a gold medal. Da. Hum, who was defeated for _ eoogress by Meiklejohn, is working for the position of assistant commissioner id the general land offlee. If he fails to secure it he says he will accept a position In the land office in this city. What a fall from congressman to land offlee. Th* reciprocity treaty with Brasil had been in effect 91 months on the 31st of December. 1898, during which period the exports to that country were valued at 998,893,801, as compared with 832, 147,897, an increase of 91,244,875 over ths 81 months ending March 31, 1891. !S;; Swcn the reciprocity treaty with Porto Pico was made, 18 months ago, . the 81st of December, 1892, the exports from the United States to that island have been 98,484,038, as compared with 98,008,874, the exports for the previous 19 months ending August 81, 1891, an increase of 9479,359. ft’. :0. •:*. - Since the Fran co-Prussian war Prance has 'enjoyed a period of over 80 years of peace and prosperity, and is to-day one of the richest of European nations. Her population is between 80,000,000 and 85.000.000. The popula tion of Massachusetts is about 2,860,000, or less than one-tenth that of Prance. The deposits in the savings banks of Prance in 1891 amounted to 9780,000,000 while those in Massachusetts in 1898 reached 9528,544,076. ■;:"V II. K. Dayton, of dreeler county, has resigned his position as supervisor of this county. This action substanti ates the statements of Mr. Hoy pub lished in Tnic Frontier a couple of weeks ago. Mr. H. B. Kelly, a justice of the peace of Fairview township, we understand baa appointed himself to fill the vacancy. ■--— Dt'RiNo the campaign the democrats told the people that their first work, if given the power, would be to give relief from the “terrible burdens” im posed by the tariff. Now their leaden say financial legislation must have pre cedence. Still there are people who really believe the democrats know what they wish to do, or what they are going to do. _ _ Senator Allen has notified the hun gry office seekers of this state that he will not have anything to do with the distribution of patronage. It is report ed however, that, according to the eter nal fitness of things, no appointment will be made in western Nebraska with out the recommendation of William Vinoent Allen. I W. D. Mathews has retired from the editorial chair of the O’Neill Frontier. and is succeeded by King & Cronin, two of Nebraska's brightest young news paper men. They will keep The Frontier up to the high standard of the past. Doc will be missed by the fraternity, but the chances are that be will wander back to the fold before many years pass away.—Butte Gazette. The Bulletin of American Iron and Steel Association says: "The superin tendent of the bureau of immigration has been officially advised that the British government has released a dyna miter named Galls, undergoing an 18 years’ sentsnce, on condition that he will emigrate to the United States. Instructions have been sect to all com missioners of immigration to be on the watch for Galls and return him if caught." A special from Lincoln to the Fre mont Tribune last Monday has the fol lowing to say of the bill designed to do away with the township collectors: 'The bill for the abolition of town bol lectors in counties under township organisation is not as dead as has hitherto been reported. On the infor mation of Hepreaentative Krick, who Introduced the measure, it was stated that it was Indefinitely postponed. This is not the case; the matter has been referred to a special committee of five, which will shortly report on the bill. The committee held a meeting this after noon to consider the matter, this being the first meeting for that purpose. There is some opposition to dis pensing with the town collector and it comes from the large counties like Holt, where the facilities for getting to the county seat to pay taxes are not so good as for getting to the home of the town collector for that purpose. The com mittee hoped to amend Krick’s bill in such a way that it would leave It option al with the people of the county whether the collector shall be abolished, so that counties desiring to do away 'with that official could do so when a majority of the people so decided; but the committee found itself hampered in the way of doing as it wished, and so it will be reported with only a provision for legalizing all fees taken- in the past by county treasurers for receipting for taxes turned over to them by town col lectors. This is done to end a great deal of litigation in the state brought against treasurers who acted in good faith. The town collectors will not be abolished.” The following are the rule* which Cleveland will follow in the appoint ment of official* during the next four yean: First—Incumbents will be retained in office until their commissions expire, unless there is .voluntary resignation. When there is no commission fixing tenure the efficient incumbent will serve for four years from time of appointment. Second—No one who held office under the former Cleveland administration wilt be again appointed to office, the only exception being railway mail clerks and post office .inspectors. Third—No appointments will be madb in states having spring state elections until after such elections have occurred. Fourth—All postmasters must divorce themselves from privste business except ing instances where in the fourth class the pay is so small that the postmasters will not give undivided time to the po8tofflce. Fifth—Appointments will not he made upon magnitude of petitions of endorse ment but the character, appearance and evident fitness of the applicant for the place must also be considered. Sixth—As appointments are of an executive and not a political character, recommendations by primary elections will not prevail. Seventh—No exception will be made to rule 3 in favor of applicants who were removed from office by the last administration before they had served the full term of four years, no matter how brief their service may have been. Rule 1 does not apply to foreign mis sions, to the higher grade of consuls and to assistant secretaries and chiefs of bureaus. It is intended, however, to cover that vast class of patronage in cluded in the poatofflce. internal revenue and customs service. Rule 8 is flexible and will be made to cover appointees under the first Cleveland administration who are still in positions outside of the classified service. mmL BUSINESS DIRECTORY — ATTORNEY AT LAW Reference First National Bank | O’NEILL.
