The Frontier.
FUBUSI1ED EVERY THURSDAY BY
THE FRONTIER PRINTING COMPANY
Neither Cleveland, Gresham nor
illount will ever enjoy hearing Hawaii
mentioned again.
If congress don’t make Grover some
trouble over his Hawaiian policy The
Frontier will have missed its guess by
several leagues.
It was proper that the money left
over from the lepublican celebration
should be donnted to the poor at Lin
coln, on Thanksgiving.
Ir the party intended as a successor
to the populists can find no better wet
nurse than Jerry Simpson its grave
should be prepared at onco.
Mu. Cleveland may blame Gresham
and Gresham may blame Blount, but tho
people will put the blame where it prop
erly belongs—on the shoulders of the
president.
According to the Sun,' whioh makes a
vigorous defense of the criminal Cun
ningham, it would appear that his case
is very like the Scott case, simply politi
cal persecution.
From a careful perusal of Grover’s
message it would appear that he has
fallen deeply in love with Secretary
Morton, notwithstanding the Grange
has demanded his removal.
--
Governor McKini.ey condensed a*
whole volume of political economy into
a short sentence when he said: “The
more there is to do, the better wages
will be paid for what is done."
Time will tell whether the stand
against the pension policy of the admin
istration, taken by Senators Voorheos
and Turpie, is for Indiana' consumption
alone. •
It was the restraint of the republican
senate which gained Mr. Cleveland the
' reputation for conservatism during his
first term which he has entirely lost be
fore one fifth of his second term has
been served.
A United States judgeship is under
stood to be the price of Chairman Wil
son's agreement to put coal and iron
ore on the free list. Crippling his home
industries is not the best preliminary
occupation for a judge.
There is no reciprocity in the Cleve
land tariff bill, unless putting coal on
the free list so that the Whitney syndi
cate may realize on their Newfoundland
investments may be so regarded by the
parties directly interested.
Murat Halstead says Cleveland’s
election was accomplished by “a com
bination of flukes, fads, and frauds,"
which is largely true; but tho people
are always disgruntled, disgusted, and
determined-Mo make amends.
--
It now costs 95 and one hour in jail
to send a r challenge to fight a duel, in
Virginia. Reforms move t slowly, but
‘the time may come when even Virginia
will be controlled by a majority of the
legal voters within her borders.
In summing up the division vote a
couple of weeks ago, The Frontier
made a slight error. The divisionlsts did
not get a majority of the total vote
cast by 59, nor did they gat a majority
of the votes cast on the proposition.
After all the democratic abuse of the
sugar bounty it is to remain on the
statute books for eight years more.
How about those democrats—Governor
Hogg, for instance—who have denied
the constitutionality of the sugar bounty.
Brother Armstrong, of the Butte
Gazette, has at last been commissioned
postmaster at Butte. We congratulate
•T. 8. in that he has triumphed over his
enemies, and hope that his official life
may be an unbroken circle of pleasure
and profit.
..«■—.
It Isn’t a bit of consolation to the fel
low who has to wear the hair off the top
of hia hetd trying to think how he can
get the four or five tons of coal required
to carry his household through the win
ter to be told that the cruiser Columbia
,consumes 570 tons a day.
. --» <#» «
It does seem as though some news
papers were over anxious to make con
spicuous the fact that the death rate
among the old soldiers is increasing.
They are careful, however not to men
tion one of the factors in the increased
death-rate—their treatment by this
administration.
When a republican editor departs
from the patyi of rectitude and is known
to visit a house of questionable reputa
tion it is an unpaidonable sin, but when
an independent county attorney is guilty
of a like offense we suppose “he can
have the office as long as he wants it.”
Kh, dog of a Jew?
Now it is said that Supreme Judge
elect Harrison will resign. Having
made the race and shown the Bee that
he could be elected in spite of its oppo
X sition, he is now willing to retire. The
governor has the power to fill vacancies.
Will he appoint Maxwell? The Fbon
tieb would be surprised at nothing that
Crounse might do.
i It seems to be an established fact that
; the Independent cannot pript the truth
as long ns the brain of its editor is able
to conjure up a falsehood. That his
prevarications are unreasonable is a
matter of Indifference to him. lie now
accuses The Frontier of defending
Cleveland. This joke will be appreciat
ed by Frontier renders.
--
Rosewater says he pays out more
money for “editorial brains” than all
the papers in Iowa and Nebraska com
bined. That may lie a tact but it is
very evident to his readers that he is
being unmercifully cheated. For edi
torial nbility the Sioux City Journal, in
Iowa, and the State Journal, in Ne
braska, are both the lice’s superiors.
When the Masonic lodge confers
“high honors” on a cannibal of Kautz
mall's stripe it has surely outlived its
usefulness. When otherwise respect
able men will grasp n deadbeat,
a libeller, a blackmailer and a
character assassin by the band simply
because he has imposed himself upon
them it is evidence that the tie which
biuds.them is lust a little too strong.
...--.
Govbunou McKinley has been asked
to make a protective tariff speech at
Birmingham, Alabama. It is not appar
ent, however,what benefit such a speech
can be at this time. It does not require
the eloquence of Governor McKinley to
tell the Alabamians that the future
prosperity of their state is dependent
upon a protective tariff; they know it,
and knowing it still support a national
free trnde party. ,
--->.»-■.
Cleveland's message was delivered
to congress Monday. It is not an able
document. It treats mostly of matters
that have passed into history and with
which we are all familiar, but it has
very little to say or advice as to future
legislation. Grover says that the coun
try will prosper under its present gold
basis and implores .everybody to be pa
tient. lie favors tariff for revenue
only and in that one regard is inclined
to stand on his party platform.
Thh investigation as to the where
abouts of Treasurer Hayes’ bond dis
closes the fact that somebody is desery
ing of severest censure. Although the
board authorized the county to expend
money in securing a bond from a bond
company the records do not show that
it was ever secured, nor do they show
that it was ever paid for. They do
show, however, that the board approved
a bond of $150,000, but as it is not on
file with the proper authorities, Holt
county is absolutely without protection.
--
Tub State Journal has been figuring
a little on the probable result next fall,
and this is the result:
Taking the vote on the regent for the
short term, which seems to have been a
strict party poll, with no personal or
fusion feeling in it, and the republicans
carried fourty-four of the ninety coun
ties reported by pluralities, the populists
thirty-fiye and the democrats eleven.
Taking the vote by senatorial districts
and the republicans carried districts
Nos. 1, 3. 8, 4, 6, 8. ll", 16, 17, 19, 20, 31,
33, 33,' 24, 25, 26, and 27, from which,
on the same party vote, would be elect
ed twenty-one republican senators.
The populists carried the districts Nos.
5, 9, 13, 14, 15, 18, 28, 29, and 30, from
which they would elect by the same
pluralities nine senators. The demo
crats carried districts, 7. 10, and 12,
which would give them three senators
with the same vote.
Taking the same vote by representa
tive districts, and the republicans would
have carried districts Nos. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5,
6, 7. 8, 10. 11, 13, 13, 17, 18, 21, 23, 29,
30, 81 82, 83. 34. 85, 36, 87, 88, 40, 41, 42,
43. 44, 45, 46, 47, 51, 57, 59, 61, and 65,
returning sixty-six members. The popu
lists carried districts Nos. 11, 22, 27, 27,
89, 49, 49. 50, 62, 63. 54. 55, 56. 58. 60,
62. 63, 64, 66, and 67. These districts
return twenty-three members. The de
mocrats carried districts Nos. 9, 14, 15,
16, 19, 24, 25, 26, and 28, returning
eleven members.
The small loss of time which charac
terized Judge Ambrose’s donning of the
ermine at Omaha promises to be follow-,
ed by other judges who were elected in
the Fourth judicial district. All three
were elected to fill vacancies, and ac
cording to the constitution they are at
liberty to take their seats as soon as
they are elected and. shall qualify.
Joseph Blair and W. C. Walton were
the other two, and it is reported at the
state house that they will take their
seats immediately, but will both wait
for a certificate of election. In the
Ninth district John S. Robinson was
elected to fill a vacancy and he is entitl
ed to the same privilege. 0ne of the
judges elect lias'scnt for a certificate of
election. In this connection it is under
stood that Supreme Judge-elect Harri
son, of Grand, Island will resign within
ten days. Already there are half a
dozen applications for the place on file
with Governor Crounse. There has
been no intimation that Judge Holcomb
will resign his judgeship.—State-Jour
nal.
Tns Sioux City Journal says it is
noted in connection with the Hawaiian
affair that Cleveland is partial togir.s.

for seven weeks he
Could Not Open His Eyes.
I took him twice during that time to the Eye
