| The Frontier. rtrnusitKD kvkuy Thursday bt tHR FRONTIER VRINTINO COMPANY fff.: Uoi.t county exported, in 1891, nearly •800,000 worth of hay. f President Cleveland's rules remind ua of cheap watches. Sometimes they go and sometimes they do not. w!1olt county exported, in 1801, more hay than any other two counties in the state combined. 1' f t • t ':v That a man may be born on all, fools’ day and yel not bo a fool baa been fully proven in the career of Bismarck, who was born April 1, 1815. -- The atate of Nebraekabaa commenced suit in the district court of Douglas county against ex-Trea*urer 11111 and bla bondsmen to recover 8286,084.00. Tiik G. A. It. encampment for the district of northern Nebraska will be held at Randolph this year, the citizens of that city having raised 8700 for the same. _ Hoop skirts will, according to an electrical expert, endanger the lives of their wearers who attempt to walk across the track of an electric railroad. This hint should not be lost upon young men. The contest for attorney for the dis trict of Nebraska is still undecided. It is said that the appointment of Frank White, marshal, kills Qering’s chances, and that the appointment will go to T. J. Mahoney, of Omaha. One-kiortii of the newspapers in the country have asked for world's fair passes to the aggregate nominal value of 8802,500, for which they have already contributed advertising space of a nom inal value ef 880,250,000. The editors of the Independent should at least try and tell tho truth once in u while, especially when relating to the acts of an official, Borne day they will hear something drop and they will wonder what struck them. Governor Crounse has issued a proc lamation setting apart April 22, as Arbor Day. It Is especially urged that the public schools of Nebraska should observe the day by such exercises and ceremonies as shall be m harmony with the occasion. Toe eighth congressional district of Virginia leads all others in its endeavors to do good. Out of 17,000 democrats who voted at the last election, 6,000 have applied for office. There is no doubt but what that congressman will earn his salary. Evert elector of Grattan township should attend the annual town meeting which has been adjourned to Saturday. April 15, 1898. As there is a good deal of important business to be transacted at this meeting it is to be hoped that there will be a good attendance. Ingratitude is one of the basest of crimes, whether on the part of men in highest or lowest stations of lire. This has been said a thousand times before, but circumstances make it peculiarly timely at present as we have a very striking example in our own city. There is a little clause in the section •-of the constitution which defines'the duties of the national house of repre sentatives that might be read with profit. If not with pleasure, by the various gentlemen who are voluntarily engaged in the hard work of preparing a tariff bill. The Kentucky colonels and Georgia majors have not yet worked up their courage to the point of starting that walking match from Washington to their homes. They are no doubt wait ing for the nights to get warm enough for them to sleep out of doora without danger. Of all the queer ideas, that of the democrats who propose celebrating the birthday of Thomas Jefferson, the staunchest protectionist of the early days of our country, is the queerest. Jefferson was about as far from being i democrat as the term is now understood as he could possibly get. g^ Sioux City it making great prepai a •j lion* for their corn palace featlval this year. The date of opening is fixed for f-‘, September 20 and will continue to {j* October 18, 1803. The management is - sparing neither pains nor expense to make this palace, in attraction, surpass ;t:i> ■ an thing heretofore presented. . -- Which is to he the democratic tariff bill? The one prepared by E. Ellery . ^ Anderson; the one fixed up by Secretary Carlisle and Mr. Cleveland, or the one which will be knocked together by the .« ' * ays and means committee of the house of representatives T It seems to be another case of too many cooks. j:''' In North Adams, Mass., a man by the name of W. J. Wilbur buried his wife v<',; last week and in four hours after the funeral, was married the second time. h , ’ We sometimes tax our Yankee cousins <?•with lack of speed and enterprise, but it must be admitted that the North '.Adams man has beataa. all western Iff^'Vrecords in the matrimonial line.

X Tn* Introduction of the title of am bassador into our diplomatic service will serve no good purpose, although it will unquestionably lower us a peg or two in the estimation of those Euro peans who have respected us for our sturdy independence. It will give our representatives precedence in some of the ceremonial affairs at European capitals, but will not add to their in fluence. * _ "Tit* wild and reckless pension list” shows the following facts: That 13,091 received not over *3 per month; 72,854 received not over $4 per month; 180,518 received not over $0 per month; 317,741 received not over $8 per month; 875,952 received not over 110 per month; 577,053 received not over $12 per month. Death is thinning them out so last that de mocracy will soon be relived from "veteran, pauper pensioners." Thomas F. Bayaud, President Cleve land’s ex-secretary o( state, was last Thursday appointed as ambassador to Oreat Britain. Mr. Bayard has the honor of being the first ambassador appointed by the United States as the act allowing the 'president to appoint ambassadors to countries sending am bassadors to this country was but re cently passed by congress. Germany, Russia and France will also be honored by having ambassadors sent there from the United States. Tnx hotel fire at Bradford, Pa., a few days ago, recalls to our mind the fact that there are seyeral hotels throughout this country that are not furnished with fire escapes. For a few days after a fire, newspapers, public speakers and every person are clamor ing for fire escapes in all hotels. In n few days the incident is forgotten and the hotel proprietors fail to put in the ropes or other fire escape apparatus. All hotels should be furnished with fire escapes. Arnu. is here and the soft winds are sighing low through the hedges of cedar and pines, soon will the farmer in rage be seen flying after potato bugs thick on the vines; soon will the cucumber blossom in beauty, soon will the house insect crawl in our ears, soon will the merchant unmindful of duty, squander his profits for cocktails and beers; soon will the heat of the summet be ended, all its fierce tortures abated and then, soon will our idols be shattered and rended, soon will the coal trust go at us again.—State Journal. Ip the republicans do not succeed in driving Doc Mathews out of their party and into the democratic ranks it will be no fault of the party papers. If Mr. Mathews can stay with the party and stand the amount ot abuse the papers are heaping upon him he must be more loyal than most men are to their party. —Tribune. It is a matter of very little moment to the republican papers or the republican party how soon Doc Mathews again announces his democracy. He once affiliated with the bourbons und became a republican for pap and it would sur prise us none should he return to his first love for the same reason. It would be a little hard on the democratic party, hut then it is the rule that the victors must always welcome the renegades from the ranks of the conquered. Tint following it the way Editors. W. Knox of the Malvern, O., Doings, bids adieu to a constituency which has failed to support his paper: "In bidding adieu to Malvern as the scene of our struggle in the field of journalism, our readers will pardon a brief outline of the causes which have compelled our departure. Our lack of judgment and failure to comprehend the essentia little ness of the place—our expectations that we could dispel the hoary prejudice and burst the rust-eaten sftackles of rural conventionalities, have recoiled with stupendous force upon our pocket-book. We have cried ‘bread 1 bread!’ where there was no bread. We have wasted our energies and dulled the edge of our wit in trying to make blood gush from a turnip. We have laughed where there is no mirth. We have wept where tears are unknown. We have stung you into madness. We havo tickled you under the chin. We have nursed and cuddled the lean and meagre truth. We have created and disbursed the large and lusty eye. The fiuits of our efforts have been apples of Sodom and our belly is filled wind. Were poverty a sin, this were a hamlet in hell: were selfishness a virtue, this were a palace in paradise. To our friends—to those who succored us in the hour of our distress—our memory will ever be green, and may the gods of time and fortune be ever kind to them. To our enemies—to those who withheld their supporting arm and word of cheer—may they reap as they have sowed. Fare well." f "A gentleman wlio enjoys the inti* mate personal confidence of President Cleveland," says a writer in Town Top ics, “imparts to me a bit of political news of a most novel and interesting character. It is to the effect that, just before ex-President Harrison’s depart ure fr<ftn Washington, bis democratic successor informed, him through a com mon friend that if Mr. Harrison was desirous of taking up his residence abroad for a season, the President would be glad to appoint him to any one of the foreign missions of the first rank that it might please tbg ex-preai t dent to accept. The generous offer was declined, of course, in tlie same spirit that it was made, but tbe incident de serves more tban passing consideration, not only because of its almost sensa tional novelty in American politics, but because of the suggestion which it con tains of a proper disposition of men retired from tbe highest honor in the land. It certainly does not seem just (it that a citizen of sufficient worth and importance to be chosen for the nation's cbtgf executive, should be doomed by senseless tradition and precedent to withdraw from bis honors to the obscurity of a country law office or a provincial college. It might happen, of course, that some man of vaulting am bition or Ignoble, temper would bring himself to use his ministry, at a critical juncture in state affairs, to embarrass his late opponents or to vantage bis own party, but that danger is too remote and unlikely to render it an invulnerable objection to the project suggested by the president’s proffer to Mr. Harrison. In these matters it is only the first step that costs, and it requires but the coin cidence of an ex-president as brave to accept as President Cleveland has been to offer, to establish a practice in every way reasonable and commendable. MATHEWS AS HE IS. The O'Nejll Frontier enters a vig orous protest beeanse its former editor, a republican, now register of the O’Neill land office, recommended by republicans and appointed to such position by re publican administration, is dealing out the land notices to tbe democratic press. The assumption of The Frontier that "Doc is trimming bis sails to.tbe demo cratic breezes” is probably correct.— Randolph Times. W. D. Mathews, a man who has made a sung little fortune from tbe pro ceeds of publishing laud notices dished out to him by republican land officers, has at tbe eleventh hour been appointed register of tbe O’Neill land office by a republican president, and now turns bis back on bis republican friends by turn ing into democratic channels all the pat ronage of his office. . Shades of Judas, Arnold, Tyler and Jell Davis!—Ains worth Star Journal. Tbe O’Neill Frontier rises In its might against Doc Mathews’ notion to give the land office patronage to demo cratic papers. Though appointed by a republican president and confirmed by a republican senate, be sees fit to do exactly what tbe Pioneer predicted he would do: hold his job under the new administration. A predecessor, Miner W. Bruce, endeavored to hedge in this way and lost his job. The Pioneer has never had an exalted opinion of Doc Mathews’ republican solidity, being anything for Doc Mathews, and there is no surprise from this quarter in his action. Tbe day will be a happy one when legitimate journalism will be appreciated in this section of Nebraska ns against two-for-a-cent nothings, and Doc Mathews would honor the profes sion that has honored him if he would view matters a little that way. But chickens always come home to roost.— Niobrara Pioneer. BILLS PASSED.
