big as Ferris’wheel.
Grover will have a good opportunity
f to reduce his weight fighting with*the
V financial question noxt month.
Chadror has a new democratic paper
called the Recorder. It is a neat 7-col
umn folio, edited by Claude T. Taylor.
It Is amusing to see the quarter-breed
democrat of the Sun bob up, like the
excrescence In the chamber vessel, to
defend his ilk.
Mb. Cleveland to republicans in
congress: Please drop politics long
enough to help me knock out the finan
cial lunatics of my party.
Tits bad boy who rocks the boat
until he falls overboard and nearly gets
drowned is typical of the democratic
party and the national finances.
8ome men have humllation thrust
upon them, other men bring it upon
themselves. The governors of several
states have lately joined the latter class.
In support of the theory that great
minds run in the same channel, we cite
the fact that the Independent and Sun
simultaneously refer to the Kids as
dudes. __ _
The people are beginning to realize
the true meaning of democratic '‘tariff
reform,” the fear of which is largely
responsible for the present condition of
the country.
The Wandering Jew has ever been a
subject for sympathy, and the specimen
we have In our midst is no exception.
It is painful to see the serf sling the
quill to the music of the lash.
The man who walks to the world’s
fair from some remote section of the
country wants to get himself into the
newspapers, but the fellow who has to
walk home doesn’t. What a difference.
Strikes us as funny that a great
papsr like the Independent and a great
editor like the ‘'Wandering Jew," would
devote about six columns of valuable
space to a couple of Insignificant dudes
A and a lost cause.
The Wandering Jew, now editor of
the Independent, while attempting to
gain a livelihood in Antelope county,
by coercion, made a bold bad break to
Impeach the sheriff but was sat upon by
the supreme court.
• It is difficult not to say “I told you
so to the democrats who are feeling the
squeeae consequent upon the general
distrust of their party, but it should not
be done. Let the facts speak for them
selves and the result will be fewer demo
crats and better times.
By the way! Why didn’t the board
I demand a decision in the Hopkins
case? The fact that he has $90,000 of
the county’s money and refuses to set
<- tie should not be lost sight of. Some
one should Inform the “Wandering Jew”
that this man is an independent, good
»«d pure—like a good many others.
To put Harrison In a hole was the
- main object of the democrats in con
gress during the last administration, and
now they are afraid the republicans will
follow their example. It is a baseless
fear; republicans have 'a higher idea of
statesmanship than that and they will
find them advocating ideas for the good
of the people at large.
Tbs tool editor of the Son grows fool-1
er and fooler every day. He now ad
vieee tax payers to refuse to pay theii
taxes to Scott and also requests township
treasurers to refuse to make settlement.
Of course no sensible man can indorse
, this nonsense springing from a cess-pool
of ignorance located somewhere in the
skull of this man McHugh.
Whih we take into consideration the
■\* fact that Holt county produces and
ships almost three times as much hay as
any other county in the state, the fol
lowing quotation from the Fremont
Tribune will be of more than passing
i ,v interest to its farmers:
The dispatches bring information
that the hay crop of Europe is largely
reduced this year by reason of an ex
tended drouth, and that hay from the
United States will be demanded in vast
quantities. Already a large amount of
It is being shipped from New York, hay
that was produced in Iowa and Nebras
ka, and is selling there for $30 dollars
* per ton and across the water for $30.
This fact promises to have an influence
upon the pries of the 1898 crop in this
country and the outlook is therefore
encouraging to owners of hay land.
V ' There is one fact in connection with
this, however, that is to be lamented.
Under the old freight law the hay ship
pers had a special rate of $1.30 per ton
to the Missouri river, while under the
maximum rate law,passed by the last
legislature, which was independent you
know, the railroads will charge $3.50.
v': This will prove a hard blow to either
j producer or consumer, and in either
ease the railroad will be the party bene
fltted. It doesn’t look as though the
legislature had the interests of the peo
ple so very much at heart after all.
And Mr. Kautzman says we should be
clerking in a livery stable. Now we
have always entertained an exceeding
high regard for age and the experience
it necessarily entails, and could not
for n moment, in this instance, dream
of questioning the wisdom of the gentle
man’s advice, os a careful perusal of his
well-meant, though illy composed disser
tation, reveals at once to us the fact that
it waB in a like place that Mr. Kautzmsm
received his education, tutored by a
jackass. Or, if we are mistaken in this,
it may be that Mr. Kautzman is still in
the livery stable eating bay with the
long-eared gentry while the alliance
have imported the jackass to edit their
paper. After hearing his bray-fu! tones
one could be excused for holding to the
latter opinion.
A word to Mr. Kautzman: We have
been in the newspaper business in
O'Neill for some years, and in the course
of our experience we have met several
just as big chumps as you are. We
have been called almost everything that
could be conceived by the brain of men
of your mental calibre, and we still live.
We have been assailed, roasted and
turned by men who possessed the faculty
of slinging a more graceful quill thnn
you, and these remarks of yours sound
■o stale that they inflict us with thnt
tired feeling. Don’t imagino that you
can hurt our feelings by directing at us
all the invective contained in your
vocabulary, which every body knows
was obtained while resting in the gut
ter among the slums. You may have all
the fun you want, but don’t get too gay.
In regord to tbe shortage of county
officials and ex-officials we have only to
say that the statements made by us are
correct and tbe records will sustain the
assertion. We do not propose to de
vote more space to this subject. If tbe
courts decide that these men are Dot
entitled to the amounts allowed at their
annual settlements with the board, they
should refund the money. We do not
believe in giving any man more than
the law allows him, but until the ques
tion is settled we will believe that the
officers are fully as competent to con
strue the law as Expert Stitt, whose
findings are not going to convict any
one. He was compelled to find some
body short in order to hold his job.
The committee that employed him
offered the job to another man on the
condition that he would contract to find
Treasurer Scott short, which he refused
to do.
"But when,’’ dramatically says the
Wandering Jew, "has that paper stood
up and demanded the wholesale robbery
of the tax payers should cease?” Con
sidering that this nomad does not live
long enough in one place to learn any
thing he is probably excusable for ask
ing for information. Tub Frontier
has devoted something like twenty col
umns in the last year to supervisor
steals and extravagance and demands
that they should cease. It has proven
that they have cost the county over
tQO,000 per annum more than the com
missioners, and the benefits are nothing.
When supervisors have stolen milage,
and charged for many days that they
never worked, Tub Frontier has been
flist and foremost in demanding justice
for the tax payers, and upon the Jew’s
theory that the thief always yells "stop
thief!” the loudest, this crusade against
officials is explained.
Reading of the prevailing hard times
in Colorado on account of mines shut
ting down, reminds us of the fact that
the voters in that state were not satis
fied last fall with the declaration of the
grand old party to the effect that
the American people, from tradition
and interest, favor bi-metalism, and the
republican party demands the use of
both gold and silver as standard money,
with such restrictions and under such
provisions, to be determined by legis
lation, as will secure the maintenance
of the parity of values of the two met
als so that the purchasing and debt
paying power of the dollar, whether of
silver, gold or paper, shall be at all
times equal. The interests' of the pro
ducers of the country, its farmers and
its workingmen, demand that every
dollar, paper or coin, issued by the
government, shall be as good as any
other,
hut on the other hand went dying up
their canyons and mountain gorges
chasing false gods. Nothing like
experience.
Duriks the past twenty years there
has been a wonderful developement of
the iron and steel industries of Michi
gan, Ohio, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Mis
souri, Minnesota, Nebraska, Colorado,
California, Washington, Utah, Oregon
and Wyoming. In 1870 there were 152
such establishments in the thirteen
states and the territory named; in 1890
there were 225. In 1879 the capital in'
vested amounted to $25,306,408; in
twenty years it had increased to $108,
969,721.^ The workmen, not including
clerks, ‘salesmen or officers, in 1870
numbered 16,856; in 1890 there were
41,377 employed; in 1870 the wages paid
were $9,220,481; in 1870 the wage roll
amounted to $23,020,028. The capital
invested increased in ten years 106 per
cent. The average price of the product
decreased 37 per cent., and the wages of
the workingman increased 40 per cent.
A protective tariff, American ingenuity,
and the skill of our workingmen brought
about these good results.—Peoria (111.)
