The Frontier. FCBUIBBD EVERY THURSDAY BY TBS FRONTIER PRINTING COMPANY KINO & CRONIN. Editors. ; - It begins to look like Jack McCall for *1*? governor._ _ : ‘ >; Senator Hare gave the latest dem ocratic tariff tinkering its proper name when he called it "jugglery and skull duggery.” Tee democrats in congress might have saved time and worry by getting the trusts lobby to make their tariff bill In the first place, as they are now doing. J. T. Meerb, at one time an employe of the Sun, has started an independent paper at Page. It is a newsy little sheet and deserves the support of its com munity. _ _ It is remarked that Senator Allen should be isolated and thoroughly fum igated until “the bacteria and bacill of anarchy" are out of his system. Dr. Hawley, of Connecticut, who success fully diagnosed the case, should be left in charge of it. Editor Rosewater has time and again given the country publishers to understand that they are collectively a lot of subsidized tools and individually a set of chumps, but we notice that when these same villains favorably notice the joss he stoops to conquer, somebody with their comments. The democratic party is primarily re sponsible for the Cozey army idiocy, because of its having destroyed the em ployment of thousands of men; but if the misguided and ill-advised men who are on their way to Washington get into serious trouble the sensational portion of the press will be directly responsible for it. _ __ _ The Bun says Bartley should com mence preparing editorials for the country press for the coming campaign. If such sheets as the Sun had any in fluence it might be a good idea for Joe to send them editorials accompanied by limited amounts of the long green. They would find their way into the Bun columns by that route. Sheriff Hamil ton might attest the truthfulness of this if he would. Sbnatob Moboan it not ashamed of .Itii defense of Minister Stevens, the >. man who raised our flag over Hawaii, as these remarks at a meeting in Alabama show: “Fellow citizens, you would have been ashamed of me if I had been led oft by a partisan howl gotten up by unfair men and laid aside Justice and followed a political crowd either to laud a man or destroy him.” That’s rather rough on Cleveland and Gresham, who % (Ot up the “partisan howl." Spkakixq of Gladstone, the Sioux City Journal says: “All who have lately seen Gladstone agree that he is aging rapidly. His mind is bright and the words of his address at the Clark memorial a few day ago were polished and well chosen. But he was feeble and bent and could hardly stani^ on hie feet daring the address. He seems to beaflUoted with no particular disease. A}, Bis physical yigor has departed and the end of the grand old man cannot be ’ far oft." This would not be a bad year to re ■, peal the odious township organization system which has been holding high J carnival In this county for so many years. While politics will be warm in their way this fall there will not be '’’'xenough candidates to make them weigh very much and we might as well do our t county a good turn by knocking this r outrageous legal plunder system out cold. Anywhere from five to nine commissioners would be a great suffi ciency. Thirty-one supervisors! Think , of it! Pulverise the whole thing. Word reaches us that Judge Kinkaid will accept the nomination for congress man of the Sixth congressional district, . at the hands of the repulicans of the district, at the convention held at Kearney on May 8. No better man can be found within the limits of this large and interesting district than Judge Kin ■:\i, kaid. A man whose life has been made up of acts of kindness and sympathy for the toiling masses who have come } - within his sphere of labor, whose abil ities to guard the interests of his con stituents are apparent to all who have had the pleasure of his acquaintance. The republicans will do the right thing in our opinion, to nominate Judge Kin kaid, of Holt county, Nebraska.—Cham bars Bugle. It a now a certainty that Judge Kin kaid, of O’Neill, will he candidate foi the nomination for congress by the re ' publicans of the Sixth district. It ia y equally certain that he can have the nomination if he wants it. The Tribune is pretty familiar with sentiment li that district and it will venture its repu *■’ tatlon as a prophet that there will be nc other name seriously before the conven tion. Judge Kinkaid is a strong mac : of the people, conservative in his viewi and sound on most of -the questions o the day. His judicial district will give him an overwhelming majority for < seat in congress and will overcome an; advene majority that Kem may get else wherein the congressional district. - . Fremont Tribune. When Col. Towle announced that lie was an aspirant for congressional honors this paper thought it was one of his huge jokes, of which, same he is full to over-llowing, but it seems that hd is in dead earnest. Now personally Tub Fbontieb has nothing in the world laid up against him, but so far as the politics of the republican party of llolt county are concerned wc are free to admit that we fail to see the justness of his claim. We do not intend to make a fight on his candidacy, because, really, we do not believe it is necessary. The republicans understand the situation fully as well as we do and we would be loath to fear that they in convention assembled would commit an error so serious as giving him the Holt county delegation. Holt county republicans should size up the congressional situation with only one idea, and that should be the best interests of the party. A good republi can will not allow his personal feelings to work injury to the general good of the party. We want no more two factions in the party politics of this county, and when one feels a desire to kick against the pricks he should pause for just a few fleeting moments and reflect on the history of the past. If a republican candidate could be defeated in this county when we had a majority of 600, how forcibly it should teach us the potency of unity and consequent strength. Tub Fbontieb urges its friends to think on this subject and think seriously, convinced that by so doing they must decide that there is but one course to follow in the coming congressional battle. Serve your party first and avenge your wrongs—fancied or real—at some other time and place. A petition has been addressed by the Sioux City, O’Neill and Western rail road officials to the executive council of Nebraska, the prayer of which is that the assessed valuation of the road in the several counties through which it runs be cut to a figure that will correspond in a degree to the earnings of the road. The petition states that the stockholders never received a cent ot dividend and no interest has been paid on the bonds since October 1, 1893, the unpaid and accumulated interest on the same up to May 1, 1894, being 0185,250, not includ ing interest on the interest coupons now past due, the rete of interest being 5 per cent. In addition to this the road still owes about 826,000 on back taxes, which it has been unable to pay. The Fron tier fails to see why any serious trouble should arise over thi^ little question. The law says that property shall be as sessed at its value, and if the road is bankrupt its value certainly is not as great as that of other roads that are pay ing dividends, maintaining their credit and keeping out of the clutches of a receiver. If the statements made by the road are correct, it seems to us that it would be no more than right that the assessment of the Short Line be reduced. The American Standard says tbe tariff is a snare and a delusion and the man that follows it is a fool; that the money question more directly interests the American workingman. We are some what interested in knowing what pro cess of reasoning the Standard employs to arrive at such a ridiculous conclusion. The tariff must play at potent part in order that the Standard’s views on the money question may even have the ap pearance of sanity. If we have free trade and import all of our goods we must have a gold money or pay for them in a depreciated ailver currency. Foreign countries will demand gold or take our silver at its bullion value and the Amer ican that consumes will lose the differ ence between that value and its face value, or value in this country. Free silver, or a paper money without a sub stantial backing, oould in no way be used to advantage except we have a tariff almost prohibitive in its strictness and force us to do our trading with our own people, where of course our own money would pass for its face value. The tariff and money problem go hand in hand and a solution of one will never be found without due considera tion being paid the pther. If we as a nation instead of yearly importing goods to the amount of 9900,000,000 would manufacture those goods at home it would cut a material figure With our finances. "A ticker should be placed in the senate cloak, rooms and a blackboard with stock quotations placed at the vice president’s chair. It would save lots ol time and trouble." In these words one of the most prominent members of the senate committee on finance referred to the shameless and open connection with Wall street which the democratic tariff tinkers have maintained for more than two months past and which is still m existence for the personal advantage ol the high priest of bourbon reform, says a Washington special to the State Journ al, The matter is so notorious that it has ceased to be a subject of interested comment. Representatives of certain senators are constantly flitting back wards and forwards between Washing ton and New York; leaving this city at i midnight with the “tips,” which it is not considered safe to trust to the wires, i and returning the next night to escape , observation. Thousands of dollars have 1 been made by the purchase and sales of ■ the various stocks affected by changes > in the tariff, of which sugar is the chief. The market has been daily “rigged” with rumors coming directly from the finance committee room and reports have been afterwards affirmed or denied through interviews given out to the press just in proportion as it has been to the interest of the conspirators to bull or bear the market. Nothing quite so brazen has been heretofore recorded in the history of tariff tinkering. When the band of conspirators finish plucking the lambs the complete draft of the bill will be laid before the senate. 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, Qreig, 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 employinar 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 he would ask wopld 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.
