The Frontier. ruBUsiixn every tiutrshay by THE FRONTIER PRINTING COMPANY "" 1 ■" ' """ - -.- — 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. r- ■-— 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 y toot. _ 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. With Its last issue tho O’Neill Fron ■ tier was thirteen years old, and a lusty ; youngster it is. Tns Frontier has Always been one of the best papers in the northwest, and under the manage ■ ment of King & Cronin it has grown • ; better and brighter.—Butte Gazette. jfei? • ■ 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. 11k who dances must pay the piper. 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.

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.
