It Is not too early {or Holt county
republicans to organize for efleotive
campaign work.
The fact that Hiss Pollard has been
i warded $15,000 damages will not pre
vent Breckinridge from being re elected.
Kem’b letter in last weeks’ Beacon
Light denying complicity in the Custer
county treasurer shortage certainly con
firms the prevalent idea that he is no
good.
It looks a little peculiar to say the
least that Holt county republicans
should be compelled to go to Chadron
to learn that Judge Kinkaid is a candi
date tor congress.
\ Matt Daugherty is canvassing this
district in the interests of his congres
sional boom. Matt is a foeman worthy
of any man’s steel and the fight for
Kern’s place promises to be interesting.

The thought that the opposition of
his paper causod Dickson’s majority to
swell to the unprecedented size of 9?
rankles in the Jew’s bosom. It is a fact
though, even if its publication does gall
the jade.
Thr Ewing Advocate defends its
slice of the tax list steal by declaring
that the board had no right to let the
contract at less than legal rates. The
Beacon Light’s bid was less than the fee
prescribed by law.
The Creighton Courier says: "John
Barrett has tendered his resignation as
democratic committeeman of Morton
township, to B. Bade, chairman of the
democratic county central committeee
and says he is done with democracy.
Mr. Barrett was candidate for sheriff on
the democratic ticket last fall."
Thr Beacon Light in big, black and
bold type refers to the editor of the
Omaha Bee as a “diabolical liar," a
“prostitute" and many other uncompli
mentary names. Rosewater must haye
become contaminated by contact with
Holt county populists while engineer
ing the Scott trial up here. Rosey and
his Bee were both truthful then because
Gutsman said they were.
Kem is occupying bis salaried time
this spring defending himself through
the populistic press of this district. It
looks as though he might begetting
ready to ask another term. He cannot
be re-elected for the good he has done
but an indulgent people may return him
on the ground that he has done no harm.
It is more probable, however, that they
will return him on the ground (160 acres)
down in Ouster county.
The Omana Bee seeks to defend its
infamous writeup of the Scott case by
pointing to the fact that Scott asked and
received a change of venue, and clinch
ingly asks, why a change was necessary
if public sentiment was not against him.
We do not intend to again discuss this
matter at length but will take a moment
or two to answer the Bee’s question, and
will do so from the standpoint we have
always maintained, via: The case in its
conception was political conspiracy pure
and simple. The conspirators at present
are in control of the county machinery,
in other words they make the juries and
none but the faithful are put on guard.
This is the reason a change of venue was
made necessary, and the Bee’s outrage
ous lies of last fall are as bald today as
they were the day they were written and
bought and paid for by Holt county
populists.
It strike* us that the labor troubles
all over the country demonstrate one
thing pretty forcibly and that is that
our immigration laws should be more
▼igorous, or the present laws more re
ligiously enforced. “America the land
of the free," sounds patriotic but even
patriotism may be carried to an ex
treme. Of course we all should sym
pathize with those in other countries
who are less fortunately situated than
ourselves, but our philanthropy should
not be bo unbounded as to permit us to
lose sight of our own working people.
We want immigration but at the same
time we should have a desirable class of
immigrants. The United States has
already drunk deeply enough of the
dregs of civilization.
W. E. Annin is authority for the fol
lowing: “Kem, the nonentity from
Custer, who has lately felt called upon
to join in a joint populistic indorse
ment of Representative Bryan's fidelity
to populist theories, has taken quite a
fancy to loafing in the senate. Almost
any day during the past week Omer D.
might have been seen at the noi th end
of the capitol, lounging on a sofa or
adjusting the end of his spinal column
to a morocco cushioned seat which its
usual occupant had vacated. It is
rumored that Eem has senatorial
ambitions and the way in which he casts
fond glances at Senator Manderson’s
chair gives color to the story. With
Allen and Eem as the Nebraska senator
ial duet the state might well shout with
unrepressed joy. Mr. Eem would be at
somewhat of a disadvantage, it is true,
in the senate, owing to the absence in

that body of the convenient "leave to
print,” of which the statesman from the
Sixth district has taken such frequent
advantage in the house. A senatorial
speech from the “red-headed rooster of
Calamityville” would be somewhat in
the nature of a sensation to which Sena
tor Allen’s fifteen hours’ "few remarks”
would have to yield. But Eem, it is
said, would be quite willing to bid fare
well to his old friend "leave to print”
if he could be permitted to join the
millionaire’s club, so-called, at the other
end of the terrace, and smoke a few
cigars behind the closed doors of a
genuine executive session.”
The following opinion from the State
Journal is heartily concurred in by this
paper: "A lawyer in New York was
unfortunate or criminal enough to be
the first person to find the body of a
young lady typewriter in his office just
after she had committed suicide or had
been murdered. After the coroner’s
jury had muddled the case more or less
a preliminary examination showed some
circumstantial evidence rather unfavort
able to the lawyer and he was held for
trial without bail. Now it is said that
the courts are so very busy about other
things that this man must lay in the
Tombs until September, six months
without a trial. This announcement is
sufficient to illustrate the travesty of
justice permitted by the common
practice in criminal courts. While
doubtless there are sufficient grounds
for putting Magee, the lawyer, on trial,
the suspicious circumstances are so
slight that there is no present proba
bility of his conviction. But while he
may be as innocent as the "unborn
babe” the convenience bf the judges
must be so tenderly considered that he
must have six months taken out of his
life by confinement in a dungeon
through the summer, no matter how
much bail he might be able to put up.
These outrages are the more atrocious
because they are so common as hardly
to excite a passing remonstrance.
Verily the courts of the United States
need stirring up with a very long pole.
They are rapidly becoming the engines
of irresponsible and intolerable tyranny.
The result of the city election in
O’Neill, on Tuesday last, although of no
significance to people outside of the cor
porate limits of that town when con
sidered from a municipal standpoint, yet
there c was an important feature to the
result which produced a straw that indi
cates the course of the wind in the polit
ical zone of Holt. Arrogant pops now
think they control and own all official
and other political affairs within this
bailiwick, same as the devil supposed he
owned all the land in sight when he
offered it to the Lord to fall down and
worship him. The spiritual, if not the
lineal, descendants of his Satanic
Majesty, under the guise of populist re
lurmers, who nave pucnea meir neaa „
quarters in r O’Neill, supposed their
power to be invincible, and boldly pro
claimed a victory for the junta in
advance of the battle. The Tribune and
Sun skulked and sulked in their tents
during the tumult of the contest, hut
Thk Frontier and Beacon Light
boldly crossed blades in the ruction, and
Kautzman came out Of the conflict much
more tattered and torn than he was
when he made his hegira from Stuart..
Mr. Dickson’s opponent—Clarence Selah
—is a gentleman eminently qualified to
fill the position to which he aspired, but
when the Beacon Light espoused his
cause, the burden was too great for any
man to bear, however worthy or popu
lar he may be, and when the mildew
and blight of the Beacon Light struck
Selah’s campaign, Dickson’s re-election
was assured by an overwhelming
majority. It was unfortunate for Selah:
that Kautzman rushed, unbidden, to his
aid in this tournament, and it was very
fortunate for Mayor Dickson that such
an indiscreet and odious leader as
Kautzy, led the forces of the opposition.
The moral of this warmly contested con
flict is, the magnetism of populistic
tomfoolery in this county has spent its
force—that the intelligent, sober second
thought of the majority of our people
has again assumed its normal condition,
which marks the decline and fall of the
political crankism in Holt. It is an
omen of a brighter and better future for
all who people this region, and an index
of the rational sentiment that is rapidly
repudiating populism as administered by
its leaders in this region.—Graphic.
INDEPENDENT STEALS.
At every meeting of the board of
supervisors they steal from the county
$186, by charging for the day before the
board meets and the day after it
adjourns.
By awarding the printing of the tax'
list to the Independent they have stolen
over $1,500 from the people of the
county. The supervisors who by their
votes perpetrated this outrage are:
Conger, Crawford, Dennis, Donohoe,
Eckley, Greig, Hodge. Jillson, Kelly, H.
B„ Kennedy, Miller, Phelps, Schindler,
Slaymaker, White and Waring.
By employing more help in the treas
urer’s office than is necessary and more
than was employed under a republican
administration, they are wrongfully
spending the people’s money.
By employing more help in the clerk’s
office than is necessary and more than
was employed under a republican
administration, they are robbing the
tax payers.
By allowing the sheriff two deputies
when he should do all of the work him
self, they are heaping additional burdens
upon the public.
By recklessly plunging the county into
ill-advised and losing litigntion that are
increasing taxes.
Employing John Morrow for a year at
$2.50 per day as assistant expert, which
was clearly a violation of our statute.
By calling a grand jury last fall they
heaped thousands of dollars of addi
tional debt. upon the county, and the
benefits derived were absolutely nothing.
Being the plurality party they are re
sponsible for the continuance of the
supervisor system, which costs the
county over $50,000 more every year
than that of the commissioner.
Before election Joss Mullen promised
that all the help he would ask would be
one deputy and one clerk. Therefore,
all the help he employs above that num
ber is a steal, according to the words of
his own mouth.
Awarding the contract for publishing
the proceedings to both the Sun and the
Independent is a steal that will amount
to considerable.
By consuming six days in the Skir
ving trial without requiring the plaintiff
to give a bond for costs the county has
lost at the least calculation $550.
