Now is the time to organize a republi
can club.
Tiih Chadron Citizen favors 8. M,
Dorrington for congress. It’s no use,
Bro. Bally.
Up to date Mr. Cleveland has neglect
ed to endorse the presidential J>oom of
"silver dollar” Bland.
Every township In Ilolt county
should have a well organized republican
club, and that at once. O'Neill might
set the example.
Webster county is attempting to
shake township organization. Almost
every county but Ilolt knows a badJ
thing when they see it.
Coxry will, it is said, lecture, and
Carl Browne will write a book, but
what will become of the poor devils
who helped them into notorlet/?
Orb of the remarkable things in poli
tics is the fact that "republican misrule’,
never hurts the country till the demo
crats get into power.—Kansas City
Journal.
If, as the democrats argue, it is right
to put a special tax on a man because he
earns beyond a given sum of money, it
is also right to take care of the man who
earns nothing. '
Bno. Wili. Wright in last week’s
Journal says all the democrats of this
district will vote for Klnkafd, on author*
ity of a "prominent democrat," supposed
to be Judge Crites.—Chadron Signal.
• Ore of the greatest causes of trouble
in this country is that so many men
witose abilities do not fit them for any
thing better than sawing wood are en
gaged in building up financial theories.

Irdia has laborers who get only five
cents a day. Congressman Black, of
Illinois, said in a speech on the tariff
bill that he favored reducing the pay
of American laborers to the foreign
standard._^_
It is a pleasure to note that somebody
still thinks well of Mr. Cleveland. The
Brazilian senate proposes to decorate
him with a medal. Perhaps the British
Parliament will feel under obligations to
do likewise, after the tariff bill becomes
a law, . _
The county republican central com
mittee should be called 'ere long to fix
the date of the county convention.
This should be done early in order to
give the senatorial committee an oppor
tunity to call its convention at the
proper time.
Browhe, the clown of the Coxey
show, pertinently said in one of his
recent comical orders to the Coxyites:
"Our force will always be measured by
the fullness of our commissary.” In
other words, as long as there is a supply
of food there will be men to eat It.
The senators on that committee
doubtless meant well in deciding to
make that investigation a star-chamber
affair, but people will talk, and many
will say that it was because they feared
the effect of making the testimony pub
lic concerning tbe relations between the
sugar trust and certain democratic
senators.
' The republican party of the big Sixth
muat pick a winner regardless, of every
thing except honesty and capability.
No one doubts the eminent fitness'and
integrity of Judge Kinkhid, and no one
who will look at the situation fairly and
squarely can deubt that be is a sure
winner.—Chadron Signal.
8ome man other than the editor of the
Garfield Enterprise, had a little article
in that sheet last week, the substance of
which was that The Frontier editors
are Kinkaid hirelings. The attack from
that insignificant sheet in an insignifi
cant section of the sand hills has no
effect whatever upon this paper.
Democratic primaries and conven
tions this year will not be without inter
est. Plans are being well laid by the
stiver tben^to capture the state, thus
endorsing Bryan and rebuking Cleve
land, while the administration demo
crats are girding up their loins to do
battle for the man of destiny and Tobe
Castor. - _
Some one of Treasurer Bartley’s
numerous customers manage to keep
him in the supreme court most of the
time on some pretext or other. After
arranging matters so that the permanent
school fund might be used to pay off
general fund warrants and thereby stop
accruing interest, along comes a firm of
warrant scalpers and demand that he
register their warrants, bnt refuse to
, ’ accept the cash, because they say the
permanent school fund is not available
for that purpose, and the supreme court
- has been called upon to decide.
Abraham Lincoln's first speech on
the tariff question was short and to the
point. Ho said that he did not pretend
to he learned in political economy, but
he thought that he knew enough to
know that “when an American paid
twenty dollars for steel to an English
manufacturer, America had the steel
and England had the twenty dollars.
But when he paid twenty dollars for
steel to an American manufacturer,
America had both the steel and the
twenty dollars.” That was the sum and
substance of the tariff question as he
viewed it.
ir i\ium wuMieu iiu iiniuui uu xiin mini
tuan bo lias worked to save the country
at $13 a day it is n wonder bow he man
aged to live from the proceeds of it.
He promised, when first elected, to pull
the country out of tbe bole into which
it had fallen, but beyond pulling him
self out he has done nothing. In fact
when he first went to tbe front on an
nual passes presented to him by the (
various railroads centering at tbe cap
ital, and cashed his first mileage vouch
er, the land was remarkably prosperous.
It took strategy on the part of profes
sional agitators to avoid oilers of work
at renumerative wages. Four years of
Kemism in congress and we see indus
try flat on its back and hunger driving
men to strike for higher wages. We see
the cormorant and the commqne prey
ing vulturelike upon tbe prostrate form
of honest industry, while men like Kem
and Bryan, elected to champion the
cause of labor, are doing their darndest
to paralyze the rich by closing the
avenues of useful employment to the
poor. If this is statesmanship; if the
country is to be saved by degrading
American labor; if tbe rich are to be
crippled by crushing the poor, our re
formers are on the right track. The
intelligent west does not look at it in
that light. The people of Nebraska are
sick of this nonsense. The smoke of
the factory is a sweet smelling savor to
tbe patriotic masses. They are tired of
the brand of reform that breeds great
armies' ot the unemployed, who swoop
down like grasshoppers and eat hard
working people out of house and home.
It is lime to call a halt. There is a
vacancy on Kern’s farm that he is well
qualified to fill. The nation has given
him a good setting out. He has drawn
(16,350 salary and enough mileage to pay
his board. He will get 93,750 more at
the end of his term. It is time for
Nebraska to redeem herself. It is in
order to send a full delegation of busi
ness men to congress.
Oome back then Kem, to your Custer farm,
Come back as you know you should:
In congress you did us a world of harm
And devil a bit of good. 1
—State Journal.
Thb Bryan rebellion is taking root I
and a call has been issued from Omaha :
for a convention of the ‘‘free silver dem
ocrats" to meet at that city on the 31st -
of June and organize p "Nebraska dem
ocratic free coinage league.” The call
is signed by nearly 350 gentlemen call
ing themselves democrats and who have
doubtless voted the democratic ticket '
from time to time with occasional ex
ettrsiona to the paradise of the pops, and
all tbe gentlemen who signed the call
eleoted themselves delegates at large,
and will sit on tbe credentials of such
others as may pound the door for
admission. The names and residences
of the callers of this lodge of sorrow are .
cleverly mixed up for the better conceal
ment of the conspiracy against Grover
Cleveland and Sterling Morton, but an
analysis shows that Douglas county
furnished 87 names of the discontented,
Lincoln 33, Falls City 15, Schuyler and
Crete 13 each, Fremont 13, Nebraska
City and Geneva 11 each, Tilden 10,
Atkinson and Central City 0 each, Mad
ison, Norfolk, Pierce and Plattsmouth 8
each, Battle Creek 7, Pawnee City and
Grand Island 6 each, Auburn and Harri
son 5 each, David City 4, and twelve
other towns a scattering contingent
from 1 to 8 each. This analysis indi
cates the central spots of the contagion.
The smallness of the list from Lincoln
is somewhat surprising. The greatest
men in the Lincoln list are by all odds
Mr. Tommy Worrall, who holds down
a large section of the postofflce, and
Tommy Allen, who will on the 1st prox,
sign himself assistant postmaster. This
is the most unkindest cut of all. If tile
revolt is to be headed by the color bear
ers of the democratic party, where are
we at? Must the federal building be
quarantined? The democratic party
will feel lonesome at its next convention
If such men as Judge Doane, of Omaha,
and Judge Broady, of this city. Dr.
Eelper, of Pierce and Nat Smails, of
'Fremont, are compelled to send their
regrets.That the "committee” means
business is evident from the announce
ment that Pap Bland of Missouri is ex>
pected to speak, though he will not be
there,'and also that distinguished free
silveritc, William J. Bryan of Nebraska,
who will doubtless turn up if he is alive.
The party of Jefferson and Jackson and
all the rest of ’em is evidently in sore
straits and it becomes it to saw wood
with great dilligence during the next
few weeks. The Philistines are upon
Sampson, and it is high time that he
felt of his head to see whether hif hair
is still there. The responsibility that
now weighs upon the sturdy shoulders
of our smiling friend, Tobe Castor, is
great and pressing and he will doubtless
hump himself from this time on, rectify
ing his lines and closing up his ranks.—
