PUBLISHED EVERT THURSDAY BY THE FRONTIER PRINTING COMPANY ( - ? _ Mr. Cleveland hu bis foot in H Bow, later on he will get it in the neck The apell-blndera are not in it with the wheat binders at thia season of the • year. _ _ _ Cyclones have been playing havoc with more useful things all around him, but Coy. Altgeld still lives. 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 (the competent men on the pay roll. Ohio populist* in convention voted to •sk congress to impeach Grover Cleve 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 ■ the public will have to seek some other 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 ’v crookedness already without such sug 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. y-sjtff. r s#» * 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.
