Cyclones have been playing havoc

To democratic congressman—Drop
the right sort of a vote in the slot and
get pie for your constituents.
7 Hoer Smith Is still attending to the
pension department and discharging all

Ohio populist* in convention voted to

land. Wonder If they will help elect
him again?
It may worry the lyncher* a little to
find out that they make a mistake, but
it will not make the slightest difference
to the lynchee.
Tan democratic bosses have decided
I . that the next house shall have a cloture
rule, and they are now studying up a
new name for it.
Nobodt has suggested taking up a
popular collection for Eulalia, the
Spanish Infanta; but perhaps it has
merely been temporarily oyerlooked.
Thb decadence of the popularity of
the bull fight in Spain is largely respon
sible for the Duke of Veragua’s threat
ened bankruptcy. He raises fighting
bulls.
r ‘ It doesn’t seem altogether right to
. strike a fellow when he’s down. Still,
the country would like to see the In
creased prosperity promised last fall by
'm the democrats.
It Is difficult to understand why con
. gross should wait until August 7 to be
gin work, when Jerry Simpson is al
ready in Washington with his mouth in
^ good condition.
t. « Thb world's fair will be closed here
after on Sunday. The patronage did
not Justify the expense, and hereaftei

place to spend the Sabbath.
Rbpbbsbhtativb Burhow8 thinks the
Jerry Simpson party, which up to date
, has a membership of one, a promising
, candidate for a straight Jacket. Score
another bulls-eye for Burrows.
Oun Independent friends wanted a
change; the democrats wanted a change.
How they want change and can’t get it.
Neither can they get bills. Man is a
curious being, and hard to please.
Gbovbb does not appear to be in a
hurry to satisfy hungry democrats of
this elate who are after offices. Unless
, a few of them are given positions shortly
they will be apt to leave the party.
Butting one's head against a brick
wall la pleasant compared with the
eleventh hour efforts now being made
to form a combination to prevent Crisp
being re-elected speaker of the house.
Ann the democrats going to redeem
their campaign pledges and reduce the
tarifff We will make the prediction
V now that they will not touch it. Cam
; paign promises amount to naught with
the democrats.
In the Hawaiian government really
Intends to hang the men who have been
plotting for the restoration of the queen,
it ahoold ask for the extradition of
Charles Nordhoff, whose encouragement
was the real cause of the plotting.
I Secretary Horton might have been
engaged in a more useful occupation
than when he suggested the profit that
* might be made by coining counterfeit
’ < dollars of real silver. There is enough

gestions._
No one can deny that the crime of
rape should be punished by death, and
! if lynching is ever excusable it is then.
But in view of the apparent rapid in
crease both of that crime and of lynch
ing it would appear that lynching does
; not lessen the crime. Indeed, it
appears to increase it.

An exchange wisely remarks: “The
fi- women are coming right to the front.
In this country there are 2,580 female
doctors, 275 women are preaching, 5,000
are managing postoffices and over 3,000
| ,aie independent of men. While 27,000
women support their husbands. Should
asan be proud of women? IVe would
, say, yes, except the last statement."
Becuetaby Carlisle is wrong; there
kae not been too much talk about the
H financial affairs of the country. If he
had changed the phraseology a little
and said there had been too much wav
ering he would have been right. What
ho did say amounts to what Vander
bilt once said about the people. Who
| is John G. Carlise that he should arro
|| gate to himself this mighty power?
This country is governed by the people,
, and until there is a change the afore
'■ said people will continue to discuss
financial matters whenever they are to
minded.
S I .i: _•
When the supervisors got into court
with the ahortages they may find that
the experts opinion ia not good law.
The Holt county board of supervisors
(populists) censured the supreme court
for not handing down a decission in a
case now before them. The populists of
Ohio in convention assembled demanded
the impeachment of President Cleveland,
saying that he is a traitor. The populists
seem to be right at home in the censur
ing or impeaching business. If they
could only secure the offices how happy
they would be.
"Mr. Darr on Kkkorm" in The
Frontier of a couple of weeks ago
called forth something less than a dozen
communications, in last week’s Inde
pendent, purporting to reply to his
argument. None of them attempted to
deny a single statement made by him
but contented themselves by calling him
a “real mean man” and “defaulter” and
wound up by signing their verbiage
“Obnoxious,” “Supervisor,” “Clapp"
etc. Even if Mr. Darr were a real mean
man, a defaulter, a horse thief or an
independent supervisor, we would have
ten fold more respect for him than any
man who is cowardly enough to attack
a person over a nom de plume. Tbero is
nothing more contemptible and the rot
is worthy alike of the writer and the
paper that stoops to publish it.
LOOK OUT FOB DTNAUITE BOMBS
Gentle reader, we desire to call your
attention to a few remarks of the an-'
archlst who fathers utterances made by
the Holt County Independent. We
desire more particularly the attention of
our local readers; those who are person
ally acquainted with that estimable
gentleman, Mr. David Adams, president
of the Holt County Bank, When those
who are thusly qualified lend us their
ears we will have a mighty aggregation
of men and women whose hearts will
swell with gratitude at the mere
mention of his name. Memory’s tide
will carry them back to a time when
they or some other person has asked for
assistance that was not granted grudg
ingly. They will remember when and
where he has succored the widow and
orphan, and by advancement of cash
guided the merchant and needy farmer
safely past the rocks of Scylla and the
whirlpool Charybdis. Nor will they
say he always did this with pecuni
ary profit to himself, for such is not the
case. But this is only to call to mind
the many manly, honorable and kindly
qualities of the man that we may con
trast them with assertions of the self
made wanderer upon the face ot the
earth who says:
Now we look upon this lailure as
being a pre-meditated, pre-arranged
scheme and conspiracy of the Mosher
plan to aid Scott, who impudently, im
pertinently and defiantly refuses to
report to the board the true conditions,
and the ring, in completely looting Holt
county, and if the taxpayers sit down
and quietly and tamely submit to being
thus publicly robbed, they are a set of
bigger cowards than we take them to be.
In the above when he says we look
upon this failure as a premeditated, pre
arranged scheme and conspiracy to aid
Scott in looting the treasury he can
allude to no one but Mr. Adams. When
he says
me oniy panaca ror the bank thief is
the Chinese law rigidly enforced
he means that Mr. Adams should be
.beheaded, for that is the Chinese pen
alty.
When this bank opens its doors nest
Monday, as it is confidently espected it
will, the first official aot of its president
should be the filing of proceedings in a
criminal libel suit, and this man who
has in one breath written himself down
an ass and a knave should be defendant.
HOW TO RESTORE CONFIDENCE.
The following letter appeared in the
last issue of the American Economist
and is from the pen of an Iowa congress
man who has been a close observer of
the financial situation: <•
Olkaloosa, Iowa, June 5,1898.
A. M. Dolpb, President Board of Trade,
Cincinnati. Ohio.
Dear Sir—Replying to your letter of
the Sd inst., it seems to me that the
remedy is very simple, but I fear it is,
unfortunately, impracticable. If the
democratic majority could at once re
solve and satisfy the country that they
would let the tariff alone and stand by
the former system under which the
country has enjoyed great prosperity,
we would have no difficulty. Every
body expects legislation hostile to
American production. The democratic
party is pledged to such a course.
There can be no revival of confidence
until that party satisfies the country that
it will not carry out its pledges. A
systematic and widespread attempt is
beinir made to blame everything on the
silver law. But the silver law made no
trouble until the senate and presidency
went to the democrats. It was not
until that party became assured of the
power to destroy protection that confi
dence became impaired. It is not legis
lation that the country needs, in my
opinion. The situation is a "forced and
unnatural one," as you say, and grows
out of the fear of legjslation. What the
country needs is assurance that there will
be no legislation. The present lack of
confidence is the sober second thought
of the country. Last fall the nation
resolved on the reversal of the policy
under which it had prospered. It is
now showing that its sober business
sense is more to be relied upon than its
hasty political judgment. It is impossi
ble to consider the question without
reference to politics, because It is the
change of policy resolved on in a politi
cal contest that has brought about the
present uncertainty and lack of confi
dence. Very respectfully,
John F. Lacry, M. C.
