r Contribution.
Tbbrb is one place in America
Where the Cleveland tariff bill meets
with general approval—in Canada.
Secretary Hoke Smith in his an
nual report made an unsuccessful
attempt to defend his treatment of the
, old soldiers.
There Is one thing that Mr. Cleveland
forgot to make free in his tariff bill
rations for the thousands it will deprive
of employment.
Cleveland’s annual message is con
demned by nearly all the leading dem
ocratic papers. Surely Grover’s path is
getting very thorny.
The Independent still insists that tbg
president should be hung, and denies
that such ideas emanate from a brain
inclined to red flag waving.
The Roth well Bros., who were ar
rested on the charge of stealing cattle
near Creighton, had their trial in Neli«h
last Saturday and were acquitted.
ms ieuow who uh nui mvesieu nig
lut dollar in a Christmas present for
some loved one has a new pleasure
ahead of him, If he will try it once.
Mr. Cbbvbland’s team of wild horses
Is again in harness, and he will attempt
to repeat his recent shccess of driving
them his way against their inclinations.
Av last something hus been found that
will shock a New York policeman. It
is the "danse du ventre," which all
visitors to the Midway Plaisance will
remember.
I-. ' ... ■ » t - -
Arran careful perusal of the consti
tution of the United States and the state
of Nebraska we fail to find wherein they
. my a man should be hung on account
of his political views.
Comptroller Eckels has discovered
that this has been a bad year for banks.
If he wishes to pose as a modern
Columbus he should discover something
; that it hasn't been a bad year for.
How can cigar manufactureres in the
United States profit under the neW tariff
when it reduces the tariff on the raw
material only tl and reduces the tariff
on the manufactured article fl.50?
If the Jew were publishing his sheet
in France, instead of free America, the
' police would have him on the list of
suspected anarchists within 15 minutes,
i They seldom err in their prognostica
tions. _ _ _
If the democrats in congress dare to
pass the Cleveland tariff bill as it now
stands they will make their party de
tested by seven-tenths of the people of
the United States and sound its death
knell as a national organisation.
Thb Chadron Signal, an independent
i paper, severely criticises Congressman
McKelghan for jumping a board bill at
Lincoln, but says not a word about
Congressman Kern who is misrepresent
. lag this district in the lower house.
Titan is little doubt about the Cleve
land tariff bill resulting in the death of
,the democratic party if it be passed in
Its present shape. The country could
very well stand that, but It is the killing
of others by slow starvation that is
£ objected to.
Representative Springer, of Ill
inois, must be ambitious of becoming
known as the meekest man in congress.
Although he has been snubbed and sat
upon in every conceivable way by the
administration, he has rushed into print
< with the defense of the Hawaiian
■■ policy. _[ ^ ^_
Tnnnn is not the slightest danger of
any republican every voting to impeach
f Orover as long as Adlia Stevenson
stands ready and in position to fill the
vacancy. They must certainly know
that a known evil is preferable to anoth
er known to be as great, but not known
how much greater. ,r
Mr. Cutblabd succeeded in persuad
ing Van Alen to help him try to blot
out one ugly spot by declining his
. highly paid for honor, but he has not
yet persuaded Secretary Gresham to
feelp help him out of a worse predica
psent by resigning and shouldering
{responsibility for the Hawaiian mess.

O. A. Mahvillk, formerly superin
Undent of this oounty, is now a full
fledged editor. Last week C, A. as
sumed control of the Dodge Adyertiser,
and the first issue under his management
cornea out with nineteen columns of
advertising. Charlie is a rustler and
will make the Advertiser a winner. We
!' wish him success.
Uhlxss republicans in congress can
p defeat the obnoxious Cleveland tariff
bill by so doing, there is nothing to be
gained by their adopting dilatory tactics
if to prevent a vote on it. It the demo
: - mats insist upon cramming it down the
throat of the country in spite of the
f protests made against It, it had just as
well be done in February or March as
In July or August.
Tins free trader cannot convince the
man whose wages have been reduced or
himself laid off, because of the fear of
the effects of free trade, that free trade
will bring the country great blessings
in the future. And even if he could,
future blessings, although pleasant to
anticipate, would not pay the landlord
and the grocer for present shelter and
food.
Kautzman Jumps onto his brother, of
the Edgar Times, and calls him u
"brazen faced hireling republican ma
chine editor." That the editor of the
Times is a brother of the editor of the
Independent certainly will militate
against him, but in that be
is a republican we will over look
that and extend the heartfelt
sympathy due any man afflicted with
such irresponsible relatives. _
Tested by the first principles of
political rectitude aud party honor, the
protections! tariff proposed to congress
by Mr. Wilson and the democratic ma
jority of the committee on ways and
means is a fraud, an infamy and an
Insult. As the years go by, wonder
will increase that democrats could be
found willing to sign their names to the
confession of imposture and false pre
tenses, the acceptance of the tokens of a
degrading humiliation.—New York Sud,
dem.
The State Journal’s Washington cor
respondent in his Sunday communica
tion had the following to say in regard
to Nebraska land offices: *'
There is no reason to believe that
there will be any changes in the land
office consolidations directed by the ex
ecutive order of September 11. All tic
kicks nnd protests will count for noth
ing. Chadron will lose an office and
Alliance will gaiu by the consolidation.
Orand Island's records will go. to
Lincoln, those of Bloomington to Mc
Cook and Neligh to O’Neill, as stated
months ago in these despatches. This
will knock out John O. Maher, who
was booked for the Chadron office, but
who has recently applied for the register
ship at Alliance. That, I learn, has al
ready been promised elsewhere and is
likely to go to a gentlemen named Wehn
to the exclusion of Mr. Maher’s aspi
rations.
Mb. Cablok last week submitted to
be interviewed by the Jew, and in the
course of his rambling remarks took
occasion to cast a few underhanded
flings in the direction of The 4)’bon
tibb, at the same time deftly placing
a chip on his shoulder with an implied
invitation for us to knock it off.- We
have no particular war to make upon
Mr. Carlon, nor do wo deem it proper at
this time to comment upon his personal
allusions to the editors of this paper,
but if occasion should require it we
would certainly criticise him as quickly
and as severely as we would anyone else.
His stated willingness and evident de
sire to meet us half way would not deter
us in the least. It strikes us that Mr.
Carlon is not so immaculately invulnera
ble that he could find any particular
pleasure in defying the lightning of
newspaper criticism.
Before the new free trade tariff bill
was published the sugar growers of Lou
isiana were beginning to feel troubled.
An instance of the growth of the protec
tion sentimfent is noted at the home of
Senator Don Caffery. The Attakapas
Vindicator, published at Fianklin, La.,
which is the county seat of St. Mary’s
county, the "banner” parish in the point
of sugar production, -speaking of the
different articles that it was believed
would be placed on the free list, said:
“If this is what is termed nineteenth
century democracy, this country made
a serious mistake when it failed to kill
the principles of that party deader than
damnation at the ballot box last election.
If our own people are to be reduced to
beggary and their enterprises slaughtered
by the hand that should protect them,
for the benefit of the people of any
foreign nation, then America has no
more use for such things. Thy question
is no longer one of party principle, but
involves the welfare qf -our country in
its onward march to destruction.”

While County Attorney Murphy is
making such giant strides and herculean
efforts to bring “boodlers” to the bar of
justice and is in consequence of those
strides and efforts wrapping about him
a mantle of populist glory, we beg leave
to ask why he does not proceed to col
lect that $15,000 due the county from
inen who signed Scott’s first appearance
bond? The bond was forfeited, because
Murphy has said so and sworn to it, and
he should lose no time in collecting the
amount. If he has not time to look
after this personally the county board
should be requested to employ an assist
ant. At the present time there are only
four county attorneys and no one will
contend that this number is sufficient
under the circumstances. By all means
let these stray thousands be collected.
Mr. Murphy’s procrastination is inex
cusable as every day he delays gives
additional opportunites for the bonds
men to escape liability by transferring
their property. Do something, Murphy,
Harrington, Carlon, Golden, or admit
by your inactivity that this forfeiture
howl is only a boomerang that has not
yet completed its gyrations.
