.1.—....... -..—-— 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.
