Tnr.HE is always dnngcr of overdoing
* thing. For instance the change the
If. democrat* are giving the country.
Dn. Nouvai.i., of Chambers, is mcn
|? tioned as a candidate for county super
intendent on the independent ticket.
The O’Neill Sun says it "is the best
and strongest paper in the vicinity,”
bo*. we don’t hear anyone else saying so.
The pensions of Secretary Gresham,
Congressman Black and other prominent
democrats have not been suspended as
yet.

Carr should he taken that some of
the new members of congross do not
mistake the sound of the Washinton
if: .garbage man’s horn for Gabriel’s last

Tnx safe deposit companies are mak
ing money out of the present public
distrust of banks, but the general pub -
lie is losing a thousand times more from
the same cause.
Wondkr if the old soldiers are en
dorsing the administration of the pen
sion department under Hoke Smith?
Guess not. But then Hoke follows
Grover’s instructions.
Tbr O'Neili. Frontier has just com
pleted its thirteenth year, and did not
find it an unlucky year. It is like some
other things good to take—it improves
with age.—Wisner Chronicle.
"In the good old days when we had a
republican president and congress” is
tho burden of the song heard in indus
trial circles. Never mind, boys, keep a
stiff upper lip, those days will come
again, and come to stay.
Those who believe with Mr. Cleveland
that dropping a congress in tho slot will
bring immediate relief will know better
before they are many months older.
, The people of the nation pray that their
action will be wise and bring relief.
Thk subject of irrigation is a question
that is being agitated a good deal in
some portions of this state and should
be agitated here. Holt county could bo
easily irrigated and the benefit derived
therefrom cannot be estimated. Let us
agitate the subject.

ff'V In one county in Kansas the demo
crats and populists are running the same
ticket on two platforms, one populist
% and the other Clevelandite. Tho dem
i ocrats are accustomed to using platforms
upon which two or more constructions
^ might easily be put, but two platforms
. is a new Idea.
Thk next treasurer of Holt county
must be a democrat.—Sun.
By all means. It has been less than
two Weeks since the county settled a
$18,000 shortage with the last demo
cratic treasurer for a very few cents
on the dollar. This record certainly
entitles them to another whack.
The independent party of Holt county
would have shown greater judgment
than It has yet displayed if it had elected
jM. F. Harrington county attorney in
the first place. In that case they would
have an able official and then the county
would be saved the expense of hiring
additional counsel every time any little
legal question arises.
\ Thk lowest criminal when taken into
;£■’ court is assumed to be innocent until
his guilt is proven, but every republican
. who draws a pension is assumed to be a
fraud by this administration until he
proves his innocence. It is the govern
ment, too, which has to prove the guilt
of the criminal, while the pensioner is
.v now to be made to prove his innocence,
v; Over 5,000 pensioners have been
. dropped from the pension roll since
,*, March 4. After their suspension they
are given sixty days in which to furnish
lue department wim nuuiuouai eviaence
m to their disability and if the evidence
U not furnished their names are dropped
gf from the roll. The present adminis
; tration loves the old soldier—at the
ballot-box.

It appeara strange to us that a foreign
er like the Wandering Jew could have
the intrepidity to settle in our midst and
V attack the good names of one-third of
' /• our oldest and most highly respected
cltisens in defiance of truth and honor.
The majority of our readers may not be
, aware of it, but it is a fact that the
s journal over which he is supposed to
tr' preside is controlled by a large body of
stockholders, in the aggregate a mass of
nonentities. We have a list of these
nondescripts, furnished ub some two
months ago, that we are thinking of
giving to the public that it may see who
Is doing the talking through that
‘ tarnished mouthpiece, Kautzman. There
are men on the list who would much
rather not be caught in the crowd, but
if they are willing to sit idly by and
2 • witness this wholesale libeling, we must,
" perforce, do our duty and let the galled
v Jades wince.

The democrats and the populists did
much dancing Inst November. They
voted for a change, and they have it.
Closing mills nnd mines answer a free
trade victory. Closing banks answer
the votes of those who declared that
money lenders were robbers. Wall
Street democrats also know what their
victory has cost. To such of them as
hold stocks the year has brought the
change for which they voted.—New
York Tribune.

The people of Atclopc county will
this fall vote upon the proposition of
changing from the supervisor system to
Hint of five commissioners. It is said
that the supervisors themselves are
strongly in favor of the change. It is
only a question of time until Holt
county voters will awake to a realization
of the fact^tliat The Frontier has been
talking truth. There is no argument in
favor of the supervisors that will not
apply to seven commissioners and then
the cost to the county will be reduced
over two-thirds.

Spearing of the very large growth of
our milling industry, as shown by our
heavy exports of flour, which formed -ir>
per cent, of all the wheat exported dur
ing the year ending June 30, 1893, the
Evening Post, of New York, says:
"Being of necessity unprotected by
tariff duties, the growth and success of
flour manufacturing and the steady in
crease in foreign sales form the most
encouraging sign of what American in
dustries in other lands will be able to
accomplish when the removal of the
absurd tariff restrictions shall enable
them generally to compete with the
trade of the world.” It is surprising to
see such dense Ignorance quoted in the
Evening Post, a paper that is generally
supposed to be well informed on com
mercial matters. A reference to schcd
ule Q of tho McKinley tariff will show
that wheat flour is equally protected
with wheat. The duty on wheat is 25
cents per bushel and on wheat flour it is
25 per cent, ad valorem. Our increased
exports of flour therefore show not
what "the removal of the absurd tariff
restrictions” has enabled them to do,
but how the flour industry has been
enabled “to compete with the trade of
the world” under a very proper form of
protection.—American Economist.
Sbnatob John Shkiwan, of Ohio, in
a letter recently to another member of
the committee of three which framed
the Sheiman law, says:
I never for a moment have regretted
the passage of the act of 18D0, commonly
called the Sherman act, though as you
know I had no more to do with it than
the other conferees. There is but one
provision in it that I would change, and
that is to strike out the compulsory pur
chase of a given quantity of silver and
give authority to the secretary of the
treasury to buy silver bullion at its
market price when needed for subsidarv
coinage. Other provisions should be
made for full legal tender United States
notes, supported by reserves of both
gold and silver, and backed by the credit
and wealth of the United States, but
these are grave subjects for separate
consideration. What we want now is
relief from further compulsory purchase
of silver. We would have gladly re
duced the amount to be purchased, and
at a fixed time suspended the purchase,
but this was refused by oui conferees.
What is needed to restore prosperity is
one fixed standard of valuo and the use
of both metais maintained at par with
each other on a ratio as near as possible
to their market value. Such a policy, I
believe, is right. With reserves both of
gold and silver in these proportions we
can maintain the entire body of our
paper money, including coin, at par
with each other. For one, I will never
agree to the revival of the state bank
paper money, which cannot be made a
legal tender, and which, on the first
sign of alarm, will disappear or be loBt
in the hand of the bolder.
Thh iron-workers of Pittsburg, who
have prepared a wage scale similar to
that which has been in operation dur
ing the past year, and have presented it
as expressing their notion of the fitness
of things, may be much disappointed.
The manufacturers have a very decided
notion that wages this year should be
much less than wages last year, and
their view is likely to prevail. The
workingmen of this country are about
to learn a lesson from experience, which
we trust may be profitable to them.
They listened a year ago to the demo
cratic demagogues, Mr. Cleveland among
them, who declared that the protective
tan u oppressed and wronged the work
ing people and conferred benefit solely
upon the manufacturers. At that time
the country was in great prosperity,
and the highest wages in the world
were paid here. The democratio party
won in the contest in November, and it
is now in full control of the government.
The result is that the nation has entered
upon such a period of depression as it
has not observed since 1857 (when the
same party was in power), and industry
of every kind is in a condition of ex
treme prostration. Tho price of every
thing but labor is down, and now wages
will have to come down or the mills will
be compelled to stop operations. It
will be low wages or no wages. Partic
ularly is this true of iron manufacture,
which has suffered more than other
industries because the McKinley tariff
reduced the duties upon many of its
products. American workmen must
fully grasp the fact that we have had a
political revolution away from the
policy and the theories under which the
highest of high wages have prevailed,
and that we are now entering upon a
period in which European ideas are to
be dominant in the United States with
the inevitable result that the man who
toils must surrender a part of his earn
ings. They may now clearly perceive
what the assurances of the democratic
journals and orators, made last fall, are
worth.—The Manufacturer.
Supervisors' Proceedings.
[continued ebom last week.]
! several districts January, 1890, in order
to apportion whatever shortage may oc
cur, proportionately to the several dis
trictw; I therefore move that Mr. Stitt be
employed to make the apportionment of
said money. J. Cbaweobd.
Seconded and carried.
The settlement committee then made
the following report:
Mr. Chairman—We, your committee,
would respectfully report that in compli
ance with your instructions they demanded
of County Treasurer Scott to permit
them to count whnt cash he has on hand
and that he show to them duplicate re
ceipts, statements or deposit slips which
he mny have, showing in what bank or
banks said county money is deposited in,
if any under the law, and that he posi
tively refused to allow ns to count any
thing; also refused to make any explana
tion to this board at this time.
. L. A. Jillson,
W. B. Haioh,
Committee.
It was moved, seeonded and oarried
that the report of this oommittee be
adopted.
Mr. Chairman—I move the adoption of
the following:
Whereas, Barrett Scott, noting county
treasurer of this county, has since the
month of Janunry, 1892, failed, neglected
and refused, and still fails, neglects and
refuses, to make any legal settlement
with this board, or to obey the instruc
tions of this board in regard to the re
demption of bonds and various other
matters; nnd
Whereas, This board in the month of
March, 1892, on the hearining and trial of
oharges duly filed against Baid treasurer
foand him gnilty as charged of willful
malfensance in his said office, and made
and entered its judgments removing him
from said office; and
Whereas, Baid action is now and has
been for more than one year last past
pending in the supreme court of this
state on proceedings in error being fully
and finally submitted in said court several
months ago; and
Whereas, The conduct of said treasurer
in so refusing to aooount to or make set
tlement with this board or comply with
its lawful orders to him, and this board
by reason thereof being wholly unnble to
learn what publio money, if any, said
treasurer has in his possession, greatly
obstructs the publio business of this
county; therefore be it
Besolved, That we respectfully ask and
demand that said supreme court, in the
interest of the tax payers of this county,
give without delay its decision and judg
ment in said action.
Resolved, That the clerk and chairman
of this board transmit to the honorable
chief justioe and to each of the associate
justices of said court a copy of these
resolutions. L. A. Jillson.

Bead the following from a grateful mother!
“ My little boy had Scarlet Fever when 4 years

poieonod with canker. His eyes became
so inflamed that his sufferings were intense,
for seven weeks he
Could Not Open His Eyes.
1 took him twice during that time to the Eye
and Ear Infirmary on Charles street, but their
remedies failed to do him the faintest shadow
of good. I commenced giving him Hood’s
Sarsaparilla and it soon cured him. I have
never doubted that it saved his sight, even
if f " T«ry life. You may use tills tes
