Now that the New York legislature is
republican, Senator Hill will have lens
buisncss in Albany.
Hoi.t's statesmen in regular session
assembled have sat down upon llonest
John, herd, oh, so hard!
Tint ghost of the lost values of 1803
haunts Grover Cleveland, and he im
agines that it is an assassin.
Can the board of supervisors 'legally
resolve and whereas themselves a larger
salary than provided by law.
Tiib senate committee on foreign re
lations is searching for'the truth about
that Hawaiian business, so it members
say. __ _
Mr. Clrvbland would doubtless en
joy swapping that Hawaiian policy for
a "yallor dog” and then shooting the
dog. _ | •
Poor Crawford! His star of suprem

Uncle Charlie Dana’s resolution to
continue his campaign of tariff educa
tion is a striknig example of democratic
pluck under difficulties.
Mbs. Lease seems to have lost her
grip on the populist machinery. Per
haps shu has been paying too much at
tention to old man Lease.
Uncle Charlie Dana’s resolution to
continue his campaign of tarliff edu
cation is a striking example of demo
cratic pluck under difficulties.
Mr. Cleveland would probably, be
glad to avail himself of the Mikad of
Japan's recipe for getting rid of a
troublesome legislative body, if he could.
v Time slowly drags its weary length
along and still we await the time when
Kautsman will make Bro. Wertz with
draw that charge of board-bill jumping.
Perhaps the proposition to move the
headquarters of the Knights of Labor to
Washington is the first step towards a
^missionary campaign against congress.
The governor of Florida knows how
to be emphatic without being profane.
Perhaps he might be induced to take a
class of governors and teacb them the
knack.
It will be absolutely impossible, owing
to the absence of raw material, so to
speak, for 1804 to produce a shrinkage
of values equal to that which took place
In 1898.
The congressman who would vote for
protection to.his own district while
denying it to other districts is not
worthy to be called an American. Pro
tection. is either good or bad for all.
The long that is now most sung in
free trade England is "the starving poor
of old England.” There are men in
congress who are doing their best to
make their song applicable to young
America as well.
Huttral The gold miners of Colorado

light. Who was it that said the people

' Tan Frontier is pleased to note that
there is a growing sentiment in favor ol
pulverising the supervisor system. A
great many members and ex-members ol
the board acknowledge that the whole
thing is a farce.
Charlie Manville has again retiree
from the newspaper business and n
succeeded on the Dodge Advertiser bj
C. O. Whipps, of Norfolk. Charlu
bobs in and out of the business like i
cork floating on the bosom of a tempest
coreasedsea.
j; Auditor Moore, although a pollshec
gentleman and a.faithful public official;
is-not making any friends for himself bj
< - courting favor from Rosewater. A toe
Intimate and loving acquaintance will
the Joss will make enemies for thi
auditor ip this neck o’ the politics
Jungle. ' _
County Judge McCutcheon informi
The Frontier that he will make no re
duction in the price of marriage license!
during his term of office. There anothei
fond hope goes glimmering. Thi
Frontier Kids, however, have confi
dence that he will make them two foi
•2. anyway.
r People who read the Sun will- per
haps remember of last week seeing ai
artiole therein, copied from the Omaht
Bee, wherein it stated that according tc
Auditor Moore's accounts Treasurei
Bartley was some $200,000 short. Thli
was at thwtime correct, but the differ
ence has since been traced home t<
Auditor Moore and Mr. Bartley entirely
exonerated. Now has McHugh thi
honesty and manhood to set this matte:
right before his abbreviated list o
readers? Even Rosewater did tha
t much. ,
An exchange asks: "la faith in hell
(lead?" Now if Tub Fhontiku were to
take the action* of some of the Holt
county populist board of supervisors as
a criterion we would • certalniy answer
the question in the affirmative.
Instead of accusing the opposition to
the Cleveland tariff bill of being* hired
why do not is limited number of friends
endeavor to get up a few public meetings
in its favor? Are they afraid to hold
mass meetings, lest they be captured by
opponents of the bill?
It appears to us, sitting away back
in the west and our eyes bedimmed by
an effete Atlantic fog, that it requires
an abundance of gall to claim popularity
for tbe Wilson bill when it is found
necessary to arrest members in order to
get them to vote on the bloomin’ thing.
Evidently our old friend, A. J. Wat
son, of the Coleridge Blade, has not re
ceived the recommendation of Uncle
Tobias or he would not talk this way:
If a man in order to hold a liitle
fourth-class postofOce has got to bark at
the behest of some self-appointed politi
cal boss, then please excuse us. We are
not built that way.
--► --
Job Babtley has done one mighty
fine thing since his election. He has
made an enemy of Rosewater. The
man who can do that and do it effect
ually is certainly worthy of universal
admiration. Judge Harrison was
elected over his opposition, and that
"Our Joo” can be too, time will demon
strated.
Say, tar-payer, do yon know that
Holt county can employ five commis
sioners and pay them a fixed salary of
$500 apiece and still beat the supervisor
system a thousaud or so? That is afact.
But do you know that five commission
ers could transact the business of Holt
county in about 15 days out of a year at a
total cost of less than $500? That is a
fact. Pulverize the system. J
Doc Bixby, of the State Journal, in
his column of tomfoolery occasionally
stumbles on to a truth, we presume acci
dentally, but that does not in the least
detract from the truthfullness of the
truth when he does print it, and here is
one of them: "A man eleated to office
makes nothing by side plays for popular
applause. It is sufficient if he conscien
tiously perform his duties and quietly
and unostentatiously draws the compen
sation to which he is entitled l}y law.”
The Omaha Bee’s man is still harping
on the discrepancy between the books of
the auditor and treasurer of state in the
amount of outstanding warrants and
pretending to guess how it happens.
But the discrepancy vanished three days
ago, ss the Journal announced, when
the auditor found that it arose from
a failure to record a batch of cancelled
warrants reported and filed m his office
during the last month or two of his
predecessor’s term. He had made the
mistake of commencing his account on
the printed report of Auditor Benton,
which was made November 1,and which,
of course, did not show the status of the
office on January 1 following. The Bee
is setting on an empty mare’s nest.
There isn’t even a china egg under it.
—State Journal.
the Omaha Bee after directing a
three column screed at the state treas
urer for not handling the school funds
acoordlng to Rosewater's idea of law,
smites its own argument on the head
with a stuffed club by admitting the fol
lowing: "To tho representative of the
Bee State Treasurer Bartley has ex
pressed himself quite freely in regard to
the law. He insists that he is ready to
invest the schoal fund in warrants under
the direction of the Board of Educational
Lands and Funds. He insists furthei
that he would be held liable upon his
bond if he presumed to use the money
for the purchase ot warrants upon his
own responsibility. The state treasurer
states that he has made a further propo
sition to the board. He is willing to
assume ahe responsibility of purchasing
warrants with the school fund, provided
that the Board of Educational Lands and
Funds at its semi-monthly meetings will
purchase them from him and thus legal
ize, in his own eyes at least, the pur
chase. Governor Crounse has objected
to this proposal as being illegal, or al
least inexpedient.’’

There is not much difference between
men as judged by the standards of this
world, after all. The wordly estimate
of a fellow being is based on the size ol
his bank account and the gaudiness of
| his carriage and the number and style!
of his suits of clothes and his diamond
.rings and whether finger bowls are. used
at table and whether soup is served at
the first course at dinner, which is at the
hour when plebeians have their supper.
A man may have a strong intellectuality
without the physical force back of it to
i assert himself In business affairs. He
. may be warm-hearted and generous.
. kind and considerate of bis neighbor’s
welfare and happiness, but if be lacks
the art or knack or cold bloodedness, ae
you might say, of money-getting people
are apt to take no note of him and re
gard him as inconsequential at best. It
, is the fellow with the shekels that other
, people's sweat has earned for him who
is looked up to and flattered. He is the
man who gets the social pie and the
i political custard. But there will come
. a time when in the twinkling of an eye.
, a flash of lightning, his bank account
withers as with a blighting breath and
he tumbles about eleven feet in the esti
i mation of those who used to know him
■ but have forgotten his name now. And
’ so we say, there is but little difference
' between people, after all, according to
the rules governing the pugilism called
life.—Fremont Tribunal

business was poor and the hotel
failed. Many of the rooms were
