Kkm wants the nomination for con

turn him down?1
Ip congress should adjourn before the
commonweal reaches Washington it
might be no bad thing.
A mors complete wreck than the j
democratic party is today was never
seen on land or sea. Incompetent
pilots have done the business.
Mark M. Pomeroy, the great populist
finance light, differs from the independ
ent platform and says the government
{ has no right to loan money to the
people. _
TnE Jew’s tears increase weekly. The
thought that he aided in Dickson's
election is more than he can bear. Poor
fellow! will be ever take a tumble to
himself and keep in darkness where the
other angles of the devil reside?
We await with patience the time
when democratic orators will again
mount the rostrum in Holt county and
c— with bristling beard and flashing eye
denounce "Reed rules” as outrageous
tyranny and unprecedented despotism.
Tee inter-state fair might do a little
good in the way of advertising but The
Frontier would consider money wnsted
that might be expended in the scheme.
It would be much bettor to put it into
one of our numerous proposed ditches.
It 1b not denied by anyone that Sena
tor Hill’s speech against the tariff bill
was in accordance with the sentiment of
- V his state. Is not that Just what he was
. sent to the senate to do? ISew York is
not a free trade state and its senators
should not be free traders.
People in the eastern and southern
part of this district are booming John
. Mallalieu in a manner that portends a
struggle in the convention. With
V: Mallalieu, Daugherty, Kinkaid and
Towle all stretching their poles the
finish will be woi;th the price of admis
'■$ slon.
Sffakino of adoption of the Reed
rules the democrat Fremont Herald
says: “They ought to vote if they are
present, and they ought to be present if
they are getting pay for it.” Strange
indeed that the democrats could not
look at the rules in this light when Reed
enforced them.
e. -m#m-.
Col. A. L. Towle, receiver of the
' O’Neill land office, has announced him
self as a candidate for congress to suc
ceed that fellow, we have forgotten his
name, from Custer county. There is no
denying the fact that Mr. Towle would
make a good congressman but serious
' doubts are liable to arise as to the pro
priety of his aspirations taking tangible
form at this time and under the existing
circumstances.
Pomeroy says “we must elect to con
gress only those men who are the known
and honest advocates and exponents of
certain clearly defined and agreed to
principles, and when these men who are
selected by us as the people, go to con
' gross and there fail to do the work they
are sent to do, we, the people, must at
once take our servants out and hang
them." If this anarchy were low, poor
Kemiwould now lie mouldering in the
grave, _ _ _
Judos Kink aid aspires to congress
from the big Sixth, and it is to be hoped
the republicans of this district will nom
inate him at their convention at Kearney
< on May 6. The judge is a thorough
lawyer and a man of recognized ability
and can lead the republican party in his
district to success at the polls. He is
thoroughly in sympathy with the agri
cultural interests of the state, and his
nomination would be hailed with delight
, hy republicans generally. Let the Sixth
be represented by a man an not a non
entity who has never been heard of
' h'c'attjeiy in the halls of congress.—
- Blair Pilot.
Now is the accepted time for the
people of Holt county in general and
those of O’Neil] in particular to throw
away political ambition for just one
short summer, put on their overalls,
rubber boots and other paraphernalia
and get out in the dry lands and high
lands and other places and dig ditches.
Btury the reeking blade, and though our
hearts may break next fall let us be all
smiles this summer. Head this over
twice and then paste it in your hat, and
when you run across a political enemy
who is rolling a Holt county boom up
the hill of adversity rush to his aid in
stead of blowing him up with a volcano
of hate. There is only one way to ac
complish anything and that is for every
body to lend a hand.
Perhaps about as happy and smiling
: a statesman as there is in Washington is
“Czar'’ Thomas B. Reed. It will be
remembered that when he was speaker
of the house he found a way of counting
' 'a quorum when the democrats refused
to vote. As the votes were taken and
the democrats refused to vote, he cast
his “eagle eye” about the chamber and
''noted -tire honorable gentlemen present
and then had the clerk count them as

You know that we have brought
prices on furniture down out of the

them, and what is more, we propose
to keep them down. We get most of
our furniture direct from the factor
ies in car load lots and sell at less
than Omaha and Sioux City prices.
We buy where Omaha and Sioux
City dealers do, get the same prices
and discounts: our expenses are very
much less than theirs, and why can’t
we undersell them? We invite you
to get prices from those towns and
then come and see us. Though less

present although not voting. Of course
the democrats raved and howled, called
him “Czar Reed,” usurper and dictator,
and every thing they could lay their
tongue to, but the business of congress
went right along. When a quorum waB
present and was needed it was counted.
The present congress has about a
hundred democratic majority, but so
many of the honorable law makers are
absent on other business that the speaker
has been unable to find a quorum when
the republicans refrained from voting.
All during the season Tom Reed has
"nagged” Speaker Crisp to get him to
count a quorum, although it would be
doing the very thing the democrats had
so roundly abused Reed for doing.
Crisp and his party held out as long as
they could, but finding it impossible to
do business without adopting a new rule
of soifle kind, the democrats at last
called a caucus and agtced to adopt a
rule to enable the speaker to estimate
(not count) a quorum present but not
voting. It proves what Tom Reed said
in his speech at Freeport, that the dem
ocrats are always four years behind the
republicans; that what the republicans
are trying to do today the democrats op
pose and decry as a gross wrong, but
four years later they adopt the same
position and claim they always stood
there. And so it is now. What was
boss-ism, Reed-ism and Czar-ism under
Reed is now, four years later, under
Crisp, true democracy and perfectly
proper, except that Crisp is to estimate
a quorum present while Reed counted.
The odds is the difference and the repub
licans have secured another point in the
congressional history of the country.
The Sioux City Journal has about the
proper idea of »he duties of congress
and gives it in the following language:
“The highest possible service which the
democratic congress can perform to the
country is to adjourn.
“The appropriation bills are pretty
nearly prepared. Hurry up and pass
them and adjourn.
“The democratic party has failed. It
has not fulfilled its pledges; or to the
extent that it has carried them out it
has injured the public welfare. The
people know it. They fear it.
“The democratic party has forfeited
the confidence of the people. The ses
sion of congress has only made things
worse. The people fear that its contin
uance will make matters still worse.
Adjournment would be welcomed as a
Godsend.
“The democratic party is incompetent.
This course of congress demonstrates its
incompetency. Part of the democratic
party, a big part, favors free silver;
another part opposes it. Part of the
democratic party fayors the monstrous
tariff measure known as the Wilson bill;
another part opposes it. Neither part
performs the explicit tariff pledge of the
party. In this situation the party is
potent only for mischief. Adjournment
would relieve thp people of much in-'
jurious uncertainty.
“The democratic party, it is true, has
adopted the republican quorum rule
which it denounced, but it has no intel
ligent, consistent quorum to go on under
this excellent rule to transact business
and promote the public interest. j
“There is no help for the democratic
party. Its disease is organic, is defect j
fundamental. As Gen. Harrison aptly
said, it is a balky team. Cleveland can’t
drive it. It can’t drive itself. It doesn't
know where it is going or where it is at!
—hardly whence it came.
“The highest patriotic duty the dem
ocratic party can perform is to adjourn
congress with all dispatch. The people
distrust congress. Business men are
afraid of it. They dare not go forward
with many enterprises which they would
joyfully take up if congress would j
simply get out of the way.
“There is just one real service left for
the democratic party to perform, only
one way in which it can win the grati
tude of the American people—to ad
journ.”
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 81^500 from the people of the
county. The supervisors who by their
votes perpetrated this outrage are:
Conger, Crawford, Dennis, Donohoe,
Eckley, Oreig, 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 litigation that are
increasing taxes.
Employing John Morrow for a year at
$3.60 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 ho 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 $530.
