THE POPULISTS RESPONSIBLE.
If!,' The stirring events occasioned by the
Scott episode has been the universal
V talk for the past week ana the general
belief of the matter is this: That while
Scott is subject to severe criticism, the
real cause of all the trouble is directly
t ; chargeable to the supervisors. Their
persecution became unbearable. The
responsibility rests on the populists who
have blindly elected to office men who
are controlled by prejudice instead of
sense. The policy of the populists has
been to coerce. Man is a proud being
and In being forced to do things against
bis will much harshness must be used,
which is always resented,
r Although this party feebly attempts
fe:> to place the blame wholly upon Scott,
and the odium on the party to which he
belongs, there Is a well detined belief
among the tax-payers that the calamity
would never have occurred bad the board
been guided by reason instead of malev
olence. Hate controlled their actions
and they believed their autocratic power
to be illimitable. In fact they were
! tyrannical. Their administration has
been shamefully prodigal, much of the
expense being incurred solely to Impress
contemporary officials with their superior
rank. The full effect of this disastrous
policy will not be felt or realised at
present An empty treasury will not
seriously inconvenience the otdlnary
tax-payer for some time. They gleefully
contemplate that the empty treasury
will aid them in getting votes this fall,
but its direful resulte will be fully
...Ita.J a._ A____ _1__til I. _ ..II. J
upon to make up this vast shortage in
the yean to come, and before casting
their votes for such a party of calamity
makers will ponder well whether reform,
f as experience has given it, is not many
times more grievous than alleged cor
: ruptlon. Thia board has not for a mo
ment had the interest of the county at
heart. Their desire has been to hurt
some one—to punish him because he is
jp not a populist. They learn nothing by
experience and their present policy is
the same, lured on by a briefless syndic,
whose astral front forces itself upon
them at every turn. The most difficult
road to success is the one requiring the
wanton destruction of all else tradition
ally sacred.
We have stated that Scott’s bond had
been vitiated by Jugglery of tbe board.
Bnt even were this wrong, their actions
for two years have so thoroughly fright
ened the bondsmen that they have taken
' Individual action so that they are about
all execution proof and a small portion
only could be collected from them.
< - And right here we want to remind this
board that they were the ones to set the
example of repudiation. If they have a
conscience, it must admonish them that
| this charge is true and that they it was
who set this ignoble example. They
repudiated the settlements made by this
. county years sgo with D. L. Darr, O. C.
Hazelet, M.D. Long and others. Set
tlements made in good faith, with noth
ing concealed. Now if they are treated
to a large dose of the same nauseating
medicine they have been prescribing for
others, let them gulp it down and not
whine like curs. And let the tax-payers
remember that their sufferings are
caused by the heedless and idiotic pas
sions of a board of supervisors who are
populists. On that party rests the
• greater portion of responsibility.

Administration democrats in con
gress are displaying a wonderful amount
of confidence in banking upon tbe assist
ance of republicans, to save them from
a majority of their own party.
Did Congressman Raynerof Maryland
speak for tbe administration when be
said of tbe Chicago platform: "lam
not blinded nor intimidated by tbe glit
tering words of a convention declara
tion ?” _
What uso has the democratic major
ity of the house for such cumbersome
things as rules and committees, anway?
It will be much ensier to keep the re
publican minority out of its rights
without them.
Tiik president should try to control
bis temper, just as everyone else should.
Fretting and fuming is no more becom
ing to the president than to a child, find
it is more calculated to make him ene
mies than friends.
Tuk Sun intimates that it has been
giving The Frontier some “hard
licks.” We had not thought of it in
that light, Charles, as our wind is still
good and no evidence of grogginess
having yet appeared.

It would not be surprising should the
democratic party find itself in the hands
of a receiver beforo the close of the
Fifty-third congress. Every promissory
note it has out will, before then, be pro
tested by the public bank.
Tns county division scheme, rather
than being one of republican origin, as
1 the Independent would have peoplo
believe, seemes to be of Independent
birth. We draw our conclusions from
the complexion of the rural agitators.
Tub letter published in last week's
Sun, purporting to have come from
Barrett Scott, is a vile slander on the
intelligence of that gentleman. Bar
rett is a fine letter writer. The imi
tation in question is a piece of carpen
ter work.
The delay in announcing the com
mittees of the house may be intentional.
There are democrats who wish the
tariff let alone for the present, and
Speaker Crisp may be one of them.
Without the ways and means committee
no tariff bill can easily get before the
house. __
Scotty’s bond with an assessed valu
ation of 950,000 was deemed insufficient
for the amount of money on hand and
he was peremptorily ousted from
office and a1>ond accepted from Hayes
with an assessed valuation of only $14,
000. Some people call this consistency,
and then wonder at crime.
When McHugh referred to C. H.
Toncray as "another of the fallen re
publican angels” he opened his mouth
only to put his foot in it as usual.
Toncray, when a citizen of the United
States, was a rock-ribbed democrat. At
one time he was interested in Fremont’s
democratic daily, the Herald.
Kautzman’s system is full of Kceley
gold. If hie party is sincere in its de
mand for an increase of circulating
medium they should take him to Craw
ford and have him coined. Buffalo
chips in this case should be the standard
and let the coarser substance come in on
a ratio of SO to 1,
The Independent says that The
Frontier has been paid for lying for
Scott. Tns Frontier has never lied
for Rcott: neither hah it been nnid hv
Scott, nor has Scott ever offered it pay,
and the man who asserts to the contrary
is a liar of the first water. Put this in
your pipe and smoke it, Mr. Eantzman.
Tub Sun attempts to answer our
charge of supervisor extravagance by
asserting that it is because Scott has
skipped with the county’s cash. This
sophistry will not satisfy the people
Charles. They know full well that no
levy has yet been made to meet the de
ficiency caused by Scott’s trip to
Mexico.
Thb Frontier is not the champion
of the state banking board, in whose
hands the Bolt County Bank now is,
neither does it know the cause of this
delay in settling up the affairs of the
bank, which we have been asked by the
Independent to explain. We think it is
time that at least a statement should be
published.
Lbt us think! Ah, yes; now we re
member. It was a certain gentleman
who is now interested in “bringing tc
justice defaulting officials” that not
many years ago signed a name (not his
own) to a mortgage, and then sojourned
for awhile in Canada, but finally came
back and “squared” the deal by the
liberal use of money. This will no'
come before the grand jury.
The board of supervisors will mee
again on the 30th inst. At that meeting
it is said that Treasurer Hayes will be
, required to give additional bond. The
j he should be required to do so there ii
; no question. The assessors’ books shov
that his bond at present is only wortl
$14,000. It will be remembered tha
t this bond was accepted by the boar<
r when Scotty's bond with an assesset
t valuation of over $50,000 was rejected
t And the assessors’ books are the bes
I evidence as Mr. Harrington and Judgi
Marahall have both so said. .
