A MAN OF NARROW MIND.
The Frontier desire* this week to
csll the attention of its readers to the
apace formerly occupied by the adver
tisement of the First National bank of
this city. The article in that space will
explain to you that because this is a re
publican paper and as such worked for
the beat interests of its party at tbo last
election it has been boycotted by the
bank. If this paper is to be boycotted
by the business men of this town on
account of its politics and for always
working for what it beleives to be the
best interests of the city, the fun cannot
commence too soon. We are not much
surprised by the action of this concern
however, as nothing magnanimous
could well be looked for from a concern
cashiered by a pusalllanimous skinflint,a
a man who transferred all of his prop
erty to escape paying a few thousand be
honestly owed a Catholic school and
subsequently made out an affidavit in
justification to sign Mullen’s bond, say
ing that hi was worth 835,000. Be it
•aid to his credit that he did not sign
this affidavit, not on account of any
conscientious scruples, but on account
of the pecuniary interests involved,
Take particular notice of the officers of
this bank, from whom this Shylock gets
his authority.
Is It the producer or the consumer
that your tariff bill seeks to favor, Mr.
McHugh?
Thb populist representatives at Wash
ington have decided to be “ferninst’
Wilson's tariff bill.
Thb salaries of the supervisors for the
year 1898 will foot up something be
tween three and four thousand dollars.
Pulverise the system.
Now that Kautzman has taken the
liberty to advise the court in the master
commissioner case we will watch the
result with more than usual interest.
Has not Thb Fboktibr always main
tained that the foreigner always paid
the tax—that is. the duty, the tariff? Is
not this so?—Sun.
How about that Bermuda onion raiser
interviewed by Mr. Bryan?
• Courts are not created to benefit
newspapers; this the independent
ahould realize. When a litigant appears
before the bar and asks for a master
commissioner it is the duty of the court
to grant it That’s what the law says.
The Frontier says that “if protec
tion is right for one industry it is right
for all. If wrong, vice versa.” Then
how about the McKinley law taking the
duty off of sugar.—Sun.
Poes the Sun mean to say that the
stiger industry of the United States is
not protected?.
The Graphic ahould leave off sulking
In Its tent at this time and come over
Into Macedonia and help us secure a
system of irrigation. The question is of
too much importance to be treated
lightly or indifferently, and to be suc
oessful needs the hearty co-operation of
all.

' Tan Pope says: "Society is a failure,
and the church falls short of its mission
unless there is the fullest exercise and
most unquestionable submission to the
fatherhood of God and the brotherhood
of man.“ Tbs Frontier has no recol
lection of ever having seen more mean
ing in fewer words.
’The democratic party,” says the Sun,
Vis opposed to the fostering of trusts
and combines." If this is the case, some
one should apprise Attorney General On
ley instanter. There is a boundless field
for him to work upon, and no doubt he
would undertake the task if he knew his
party bad committed him to it.

^gin people groan torribly when they
say ficott has stolen $100,000 from the
eoanty and lament that the deficit can
only be made good by levying a tax on
the people, but do these same groatiers
realise that every two years the super
visor system robs the county of over
9100,000, and that the amount 4s raised
in taxes also? Pulverise the system.

Tan Atkinson Graphic views with
alarm any scheme for the advancement
of Bolt’s interests cradled in O’Neill,
even a plan for irrigating the county.
It would be difficult for the Graphic to
stick its pen in any movement for the
public good that was not carefully
nursed in this enterprising city,but we do
not, however, take credit for etirring up
this late irrigation agitation. The
honor Is due R. K. Bowden, of
Paddock, late defeated republican can
didate for county surveyor. ' f 4V

Keiend taxpayer, have you ever stop
ped to consider that your taxes are as
high this year with an assessed valuation
of over $3,000,000 as they were In 1884
with an assessed valuation of a little
over $1,000,000? Do you know that the
supervisor system coats the county
every year over $55,000 more than that
of the commissioner? Pulverize the
system.
When Tiie Fhontieu last year advo
cated the repeal of the supervisor system
some uncharitable people said It was be
cause the county judge, treasurer and
clerb having the power to appoint,
would make a republican board, but in
the year 1894, with all of these offices
filled with independents we are still
unalterably and forever in favor of re
peal. Pulverize the system. -
Editob Ahmstbono immortalized him
■elf by turning Ben Harrison’s picture
toward the wall when he got into the
Butte postofflee by virtue of a Cleveland
commission, and now editor McHugh
longs to do likewise in the O’Neill office.
If per accident McHugh should secure
the appointment, Postmaster Biggs
Should make it his religious duty to re
move the likeness of republican great
ness and In that way prevent its defile
ment by the violent laying on of inde
pendent hands.
Ir a master commissioner should be
appointed of course it will be at the re
quest of the Bcott ring. Not satisfied
with stealing $70,000 or more they
would like to continue the steal, and it
will be a steal if one is appointed.—Sun.
The honorable district court two years
ago appointed a master commissioner
and took the work out of the hands of a
republican sheriff. At that timo the Sun
secured the bulk of the advertising, and
after a diligent search of its files we fail
to find where it designated the scheme
as a “steal." But perhaps being a party
to the “steal" had the effect of blunting
Charlie’s sense of perception. It’s dif
ferent now.
1 Last Wednesday at the meeting of the
board of supervisors a motion prevailed
by an independent majority that the
supervisors be allowed pay for the time
spent in “coming and going to meetings
of the board.” In other words each
supervisor is now allowed a charge of $3
each time for coming to a meeting and
$3 tor going home, which will aggregate
at each meeting 'exactly $186, besides
mileage. That this is an unprecedented
steal there is no question. The only ob
ject of the law in paying’ them mileage
is to recompense them for time spent in
coming to the county seat, and for them
to grab from the treasury an extra $6 at
each meeting is an outrage. Pulverize
the system.
It having come to the ears of the
editor of the Iodependent that attorneys
will ask the district court to appoint a
master commissioner to take chanre of
their sheriff sales, it rises up in the
majesty of a tumble-bug and declares
that it is a “dirty political scheme."
Now the facts of the case are that the
statute provides for master commission
ers and it is not written in the book
that a kick from an Independent soak
shall avail anything. Although he says
it Is an “unheard of sneaking scheme,”
it is a fact that it has been practiced
right here in Holt county quite exten
sively and also in other counties of the
district, and elsewhere in the state. The
only objection to the appointment that
could bo consistently urged would be
that of depriving the sheriff of an excess
to turn over to the county, but that ob
jection is knocked into a cocked-hat
when we contemplate that the sheriff’s
excess doesn’t amount to as much as
Mullen took from the county on over
charges while serving as supervisor.
The question of commissioner is purely
one bet ween litigants and the court,
neither of whom, we predict, will be
moved by Kautzman’s denunciation.
The republican papers made no column
“bluff” when the district court invaded
their business domains two years ago
and appointed a master commissioner.
The North Bend Republican pays the
following tribute to “Our Joe:” "Thiels
one of the worst financial years the
country has ever been called upon to
endure. All over the country has been
heard the cry of distress, and from ev
ery part of the country has come reports
of bursting financial institutions. But
the worst is now over and it might be
well for Nebraskans to stop and con
sider. Nebraska has had a smaller per
centage of failures than any other state
in {he Union. Her banks have weath
ered the storm with wonderful suocess,
and her business men have pulled
through with flying colors. One reason
why the Nebraska banks have been so
fortunate is that there is upon the state
banking board a man who is a practical
banker and a tireless worker. To State
Treasurer Bartley more than any other
man is due the credit for the success of
Nebraska banks in weathering' the
storm. He has worked early and late,
has paid for several engines out of his
own pocket to reach struggling banks
and save them from going under, has
guided by his counsel and advice, and
has inspired courage by his presence.
“Had it not been for his intuitive
knowledge of the financial needs of the
banks there would have been many more
bank failures to record in Nebraska this
year. He has been a thorough student
of finance, and at critical times he was
I ready to do just what was needed. The
Republican could fully detail, were it
uot violating a confidence, bow Id r.
Hartley's prompt action saved four ban’ s
long a certain line ot railroad from g >
iag under by hurrying to their aid, thus
saving to the depositors in this one in
stance alone over $800,000. Mr, Bartley
has been engaged in the banking busi
ness at Atkinson for nearly fifteen years,
and in all that time he has never sued a
man nor foreclosed a mortgage. That’s
the kind of a man ‘Joe’ Bartley is. It
was a great stioke of policy when the
voters of Nebraska picked Mr. Bartley
out as tbe man to look after the financiaj
inteiesls of the state.”
