tO HOLT COUNTY REPUBLICANS:
The Frontier editors desire a few
Words with their friends, the republicans
of Holt county, concerning the congres
sional situation.
The idea has become general among
all people and all pnrties that the next
election will record republican victories
in every county in our state, and with
that object in view republicans should
arouse themselves, gird up their loins
and prepare for the struggle,
After carefully searching for a solution
of the congressional problem that has
presented itself, we have arrived at the
conclusion that Holt county republicans
can do nothing but support the candi
dacy of Judge Kiukald and at the same
time keep unbroken the present peace
and harmony within their ranks.
It one will carefully note the signs of
the times he must see and see clearly that
to oppose him will be to shake our
organization from center to circum
ference and create factional feeling
such as we have known before to our
sorrow and should at all times seek to
ayoid. On the other hand to unite in
his support should be an easy matter.
That he is qualified for the position to
which he aspires there 1s not even
license to debate. Even ao la it true of
his popularity abroad, which we believe
makes him the strongest man in the
district. And that ia what we want thia
year. We want a atrong man; a man
that can be elected and a man that will
be a credit to hia conatltuenta after they
have elected him, and for theae and
other reaaona we believe it to be to the
interest of the republican party of Holt
county to give him its undivided indorse
ment, and firm in that belief The Fron
tier will extend to him ita support from
now until convention and from con
vention to the polla.
Cleveland is not helping hard times
any by publicly declaring that the Wil
son bill muat become a law. The fear
of that very thing is in a large degree
responsible for the material wherewith
to make a Coxey army.
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 ia a candidate for
congress.—O’Neill Frontier.
The mere fact that Judge Kinkaid
' submitted to an interview in Chadron
should not appear at all peculiar to Holt
county republicans. From the above
comment of The Frontier it would ap
pear that Judge Kinkaid, of hia own ac
cord and intentionally, came to Chadron
to Lave hia candidacy announced. As a
matter of fact he did nothing of the
sort, but was merely interviewed while
in thia city, and being an honest man he
could not very well do anything but tell
the truth. It was not Judge Kinkaid’s
fault that the announcement of bis can
didacy came from Chadron.—Dawes
County Journal.
Editor Roshwater was last week
fined 1600 and sentenced to thirty days
in jail for contempt in Judge Scott's
court, the contempt being an article
published in the Bee and attacking hiz
aonor. The case was appealed to the
supreme court on error and sentence
suspended pending examination of the
matter. If the Bee willfully and malic
iously libeled the judge and his court he
should be punished and the sentence is
not excessive, but at the same time he is
entitled to the benefit of all the doubt in
the world. We must have a free and
untrammeled press or jeopardize the life
and liberty of our citizens. If corruption
in high places is to be allowed to go un -
rebuked simply because the offender has
the power to arbitrarily punish, then
indeed has the time arrived when com
mon people should get off of the earth.
The State Medical Society is very
solicitous that Dr. Allen shall be at once
removed from the office of secretary of
the State Board of Health, because,
forsooth, the doctor is in the habit of
telling the people through the news
paper medium that he is versed in
materia medica and skilled in the use
of the blade and saw and asks the afflictd
to call at his office where they will find
the latchBtring hanging out both day
and night. In other words he adver
tises. The medical society is a little out
of step with the great march and pro
gression of things and it should get into
line and stop its foolishness. Practition
ers who are not ashamed of their ability
should be accorded the privilege of ad
k vertising the same as a matter of benefit
to the suffering, who never patronize an
incompetent doctor but once before
nearesit Jrin drives a sharp bargain
* with an undertaker. But laying all
jokes aside there is no earthly reason
why physicians should not advertise as
well as members of other professions,
/ and the day is not far distant when
>. *hey mutt. Straws are leaning that way.
The State Journal is running daily
a column of very interesting squibs on
tho subject of: “If I Were President
How 1 Would Kecaivo Coxey and His
Common Wealers." People from tho
six corners of the state are sending in
their ideas on the subject and they
make very instructive reading; but so
far as we have seen they are all erroneous
or impracticable. There is but one
thing that the president can do. He
can inform the Coxeyites that they are
parents of their own woes. Ninty-nine
per cent, of them left factories and
shops, where they were drawing good
salaries two years ago, to vote for these
very conditions and now they have no
kick coming. James Q. Blaine years
ago described in detail what tho result
of democratic success would be and at
the present time nearly everyone is
ready to acknowledge that the great
statesman was gifted with foresight,
if not in fact, with prophetic tendencies.
L. C. Chapman, attorney from Atkin
son, was m O'Neill Monday. He dropped
a dollar in the slot and ordered the
Beacon Light sent to his address. Lew
takes issue with the republican editors
on what they term the “printing steal.”
He says the county has no right to
speculate off the printer. He says the
political status of the board of super
visors entitled the Beacon Light to the
tax list and they should have been paid
full legal rates.—Beacon Light.
Thb Frontier doesn’t believe Lew
Chapmau ever said anything of the
kind, but if he did we certainly have
little respect for his opinion. Does
Chapman think it is right and proper
for the independents to accuse republi
can papers of stealing when they take
legal rates, denounce them by resolution
in conventions and make campaign
thunder out of the fact and promise by
the holy smoke that should they be
successful at the polls such outrageous
things would at once cease to occur,
and then when the band-wagon does
come their way inaugurate a reign of
plundering that is without a parallel?
Does Chapman think it is right for the
board of supervisors to solicit bids for
this work and then award the contract
to the highest bidder? This matter is
not a question of law; it is a question of
populist principle. We admit that
under the law the work could have
been let at full legal rates, but it could
not have been done without violating
the sacred promises made to' the people
by the independents. They have gone
squarely back on their pledges of
promised reform by paying 91,500 more
for this work than was neoessary and
if Chapman thinks those things are
right we beg leave to differ.
A Washington correspondent to a
daily paper refers to Gutzman’s red
headed pet in the following language:
"Mr. Kem is the worst nonentity who
has sat in congress for many a day. He
lacks the mental capacity to understand
business committed to him and the in
dustry to perform it even if he did un
derstand it. He wanders around the
capitol with a vacant air as if he needed
the services of a guide to direct him to
the front door. He is thoroughly ignor
ant of parliamentary procedure, and it
is doubtful whether today, after three
years’ service in congress, he is familiar
with the simplest methods of transacting
business in that body. If he were called
upon to stand a civil service examin
ation as to the names of the heads of
divisions in the various departments of
the government he would not grade 40
oat or an average of 75. McKeighan is
such a chronic absentee that his work is
neglected simply because he neglects to
attend to it, but Kem is ignorant and
stupid. It is a shame that the people of
Kem’s district, a section of hardv settlers
interested in questions of the interpre
tation of public land laws, many of
tliem with pension claims still pending
and who need above all a man of intelli
gence and industry to prosecute their
business in congress, should be misrep
resented by a man who possesses neither
vigor nor ability.
"In the case in which Kem seems to
have made such a consummated ass of
himself Mr. Mercer, in response to a re
quest from Boyd county, called upon
the commissioner of the general land
office for Sprompt aotion and received
word that the matter would be taken
up for examination at an early day. It
Mr. Kem had known enough to word a
letter as well or to present one sheet of
paper in his official capacity an earnest
desire for the prompt adjudication of
the matter he would possibly have se
cured as early a return as did Mr. Mercer.
Ho would have obtained what Mr.
Mercer could not expect to obtain—the
commendation of voters in his district,
which would probably have increased
his political prestige and given a few at
least the impression that he knew how
to attend to the business for which
he was sent to Washington. Everyone
here laughs at his absurd wail that there
is a conspiracy to take away from him
credit which belongs to him. There
would of course be, no object in any
congressman adding to the burdens
which the work of his own district
devolves upon him. It has only been
through a feeling based upon patent
facts that the republican congressman
from Nebraska have willingly and
cheerfully done work for other sections
of the state which the people there
declared they could not get performed
by the men whom they had elected to
represent their interests.”
Oari. Brown was egged in O’Neill
and clubbed in Washington.
| INDEPENDENT STEALS.
At every meeting of the board of
supervisors they steal from the county
#180, 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, II.
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
#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 ho would ask would be
one deputy and one clerk. Therefore,
all the help he employs abovo 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.
