Ex-Congressman Pkiuiy Belmont,

The Alabama negroes have got an er

Secretary Hoke Smith has a red
card, reading “scarlet fever within,
naPed to the front of his Washington
residence to keep away democratic con
gressmen and office-seekers.
It Is simply silly to talk about “pres
sure” having to be brought to bear upon
any man to accept the republican nom
ination for the presidency. It is an
honor no man has ever declined.
Democrats seldom profit by experi
ence. The disasters which followed the
driving of the Wilson tariff bill through
the house under whip and spur have not
prevented the application of the same
tactics to the currency bill.
A mar by the name of Goldgrabber
failed in business at Linooln the other

it sets us to wondering what in the devil
is going to become of us poor sextons,

made, are resting upon our earth-worn
spades. _ _ _
Trb Frontier has heard the name of
C. 8. Evans, of Uolt county, mentioned
in connection with the office of adjutant
general. We do not know that he is a
candidate, but if our militia is to be
domineered by a populist adjutant for
the next two years we know of lots
worse men for the job than Mr. Evans.
What Is the difference between the
government issuing greenbacks, and
allowing state banka to issue money
(redeemable by the government) without
first having put up security for its re
demption. If the two systems are not
both on the same level we confess that
our power of distinguishing is dwarfed.
A New York preacher recently as
serted that every ninth man is a drunk
ard; every seventh person an opium
fiend; every fifth woman a hysteria, and
evety fourth man a slave of tobacco.
That preacher is an exaggerafor, or the
associate of people who have bad habits
to a much greater extent than ordinary
people do.
Congressman Conn, of Indicia, who
is a democratic member of the present
house, thus sums up “Greshamanla,” in
the Washington paper of which he is
proprietor: “Exhibit A: Hawaii—A res
toration that did not restore. Exhibit
B: Samoa:—A protectorate that did
not protect. Exhibit C: Japan—A
meditation that did not mediate. Ex
hibit D: Armenia—An investigation
that did not investigate. Exhibit E—in
process of preparation.”
"Thb slate has been ruled out of the
Boston schools because it is uncleanly,
because its use is trying to the eves and
because the muscular training acquired
through the elate pencil is a hindrance
rather than a help to writing with the
pen or lead pencil. Paper and lead pen
cils will be substituted for the old-time
elates and smother step will be taken in
the evolution that is making the school
room a curious and unrecognizable place
to people who have had nothing to do
with education in the last quarter of a
century,” says the State Journal. Bos
ton is several weary years behind the
times. O'Neill schools have used the
pencil and tablet for a long time now.
Will some of the brainy boys of the
state please arise in their wisdom or
their wigwam or any other convenient
spot or locality and inform us why it is
that the pride of two continents, the
gem of the Missouri, is traveling broad
cast over the stale making speeches?
Does be not know that the campaign
has long since closed and that he him
self is on the taboggan, sliding at a
merry pace to the end where the frost is
overcome by (lie heat? Or, does be
imagine that be is an issue to be decided
by the people of the stateT If the latter
proposition is correct we would modestly
suggest that the State Journal send its
subsetiptiou list around to Inform bim
that be has been decided and found
guilty, weighed in' the balance and
found wanting the earth and getting bell
instead.
Wiikn the Smudge, the Sun, J. I’.
Mullen, Honest John, Michael F. Har
rington or any other brazen-faced de
ceiver tells you that the county is now
in belter shape financially, physically,
morally, mentally or any other way than
it was before the pops got control, don’t
be lured to death and financial dam
nation by the siren song. Just pause
for a moment—time Is below par now—
and reflect. Think of a couple of years
ago when county claims were worth
ninety-five cents and warrants ninety
eight. Call to mind, you jurymen ami
bailiffs, that time when your court claims
were worth almost par, and it it wasn’t
under republican administration well
agree to swallow and digest the cast-iron
lied of the best printing press in Holt
county, which by the way is in our
office. (Now Is the time lo subscribe )
Your taxes are somewhat lower, but as
we have heretofore stated, it is due to a
reduction in the valuation and not to
economics practiced by our friends the
pretenders. If the pops were to place
the county finances where they found
them it would require a tax levy of ten
per cent, upon the assessed valuation.
Don't be deceived by these Christian
scientists who say that you are well
when you know by that empty pocket
and pain in your stomach that you arc
sick.
"Fools rush Id where angels fear to
trend." This is verified by some of the
Inst remaining stock of tho old Dorsey
gnug, that brought summary and com
plete ruin and overthrow upon the re
publican parly of this district by the use
of unscrupulous and disreputable
methods that honorable people could not
do otherwise than condemn and rebuke.
Home of this old repudiated stock are
just now howling themselves hoarse
and working themselves into hysterics
and epileptic fits because things did not
go to their liking In the recent election.
Men that bore the brunt of the fight,
handicapped as they were with the un
purged sin, are now maligned and
abused because they could not triumph
over the world, the flesh and the devil,
disreputable methods, bad breath, etc.
It is all right to call the newspaper men
of tho Elkliorn "Kinkaid cuckoos.” It
is no disgrace. They are in line with
the sentiment of the better element of
the party and are trying to build it up
rather than tear It down by resorting to
methods that drive good meu out of It.
The voting of Hooker and McPherson
counties for a certain candidate at the
Broken Bow convention until Attorney
Sullivan got onto the nefarious scheme,
is a very good illustration of their cus
tomary methods. If they want a lot of
their rottenness exposed let them keep
on casting thpir vile aspersions on men
the latchets of whose shoes they are not
worthy to unloose and whom honorable
people delight to honor.—Stuart Ledger.
Pukss dispatches of the 23nd give the
following interesting reading relative to
a murder trial just closed at Witckita,
Kans. It is interesting In that it shows
that courts are beginning to recognize
hypnotism as a scientific fact so far as to
punish the hpynoliser and exonerate the
hypnotized: "The attorneys for the
defense in the MacDonald-Patton-Gray
murder trial at Wellington, have success
fully maintained the theory that their
client acted under hypnotic influence,
aud this evening Tom MacDonald was
acquitted of the murder of Tom Patton
on this ground. Anderson Gray, the
man who is supposed to have byphotized
MacDonald, was found guilty of the
murder a few days ago and received a
death sentence. It was shown at the
trial that Gray wanted Patton removed
and he came to Wichita and employed
MacDonald to go to his farm. He im
mediately gained a complete mastery
over MacDonald's mind. After a few
days he conveyed to his subject the idea
that Patton was his (MacDonald's) mortal
enemy. Then he gave him a rifle and
took him to a secluded spot near the road
leading from Patton's house and told
him to shoot Patton on sight. This
MacDonald did. Before his death Pat
ton implicated Gray and the latter was
arrested. During Gray’s absence Mac
Donald regained control of himself. It
developed during the trial that that Gray
started this same influence over others
besides MacDonald and that be had
through others made a prior attempt to
put Pattou out of the way.”
