The Frontier.
PUBLHHID RVZBY THURSDAY BY
THE FRONTIER PRINTING COMPANY
RING A CRONIN. Editor*.
LET’S HAVE SENSE.
la it not about time that the people of
Holt county recover from their delirium
and make an attempt to be rational for
a season? The intense political feeling
existing here ha* caused some classes to
forget the duty they owe to their Ood,
their country and their fellow citizens,
as is evidenced by remarks now and
then beard in public places and private
conversations. The young and the ig
norant have been taught by the crafty
to believe that our courts are in league
with the devil and that ail decisions, not
in harmony with the advocacy of cer
tain barristers, are born of malice and
politics instead of being based upon the
law and decisions from higher courts,
which are law.
It was but the other day that we heard
a man in a crowd speaking of the Scott
lynching. He thought the vigilantes
did wrong to kill Scott: they should
have "taken the courts.” The man who
made the statement was less morally
responsible for the anarchy seed he
out to the wind than the speakers and
editors who put the words in his mouth.
He had heard it from lawyers who lost
"politlosl” cues In court for the reason
that the law wu against them, and who
plead corruption of the courts to their
' clients to clear themselves of the charge
of giving false counsel.
I Wo say It is time for all of this fool
Ishness to ceue. It is false teaching
and excites a dangerous element. The
man whose cause is just will eventually
win because truth is eternal and though
crushed to earth will rise again. If
anything la wrong with our courts it is
the law. If the law is wrong there is a
remedy. There Is no remedy for a peo
. pie imbued and inoculated with anarchy.
For several hundred years, or since
Magna Charts was wrested from King
John, the object and buic principle of
. our law hu been to throw safeguards
about persons accused of crime. In fact
It Is written eomewhere between the
wren of our law booki that it i* better
that twenty guilty penoni ihould escape
than that one innocent peraon should be
punished. It was to lessen the Jeopardy
to the lives and liberty ot England's
common people that caused that memor
able congresa at Runnymede on the
banks of the Thames in ISIS. Then
' why all this senseless sentiment when a
person accused of orlme occasionally
■' escapee through a loop-hole made for
the defense of the man unjustly accused?
• If the laws upon our statute books,
that have stood the storm of ages and
are the concrete of the greatest minds of
the nation and the world, are to be dis
credited and laughed to scorn by the
burnished intellect of Holt county pop
ulism let us go before the people some
soft November day and elect a legisla
ture that will show to the world how
things should have been Used in the be
ginning. Do anything, but for Heaven’s
sahe and the sake of suffering humanity,
atop this anarchy.
. PutKAFS McHugh now reallsea that H
' Is better to be a postmaster than to be a
hypocrite.
Thurb Is now nothing to prevent
Charlie McHugh from being publicly
< what he has for years been privately—a
-'/ populist._ _ _
, - ham mu douis oi QK pnysicai prow
ess. The philosopher, Epictetus, in
one of his discourses, said that it was
nothing to a man's credit to be athletic
and Invincible—like an asa.
D. A. Doyu has been appointed post
master at O’Neill to succeed Jas. H.
Riggs, republican, whose commission
has expired. Mr. Doyle ie an adminis
tration democrat and the choice of the
bourbons of O'Neill and Holt county.
Tan man who attacks another from
behind a nom de plume is very much like
the vigilanter who covers his face with
a muk when he ties a stone between
two men and throws them into the Nio
brara river alive. They are both cow
ards in the superlative degree.
Thu February number of the Ne
braska Editor is easily worth fifty cents,
yet we dare eay there are a number of
boya in the state who are not subscrib
ere, in the face of the fact that two
quartern will bring it to their table for a
whole year. Quit smoking for a day,
boys, buy the Editor and lay up treas
ures in your cranium.
Ir Hugh O’Neill, allaa "Old Settler/’
alias “Age of Thought,” alias "Leather
Stocking,’’ will exhibit sufficient man
hood and fearlessness to attach his name
to bis communications published in the
Beacon Light, we will make an attempt
to find a little time to attend to his case.
It is easy enough for him to sit secure
behind a nom de plume and accuse the
Fboxtmr editors of defending crime,
but if he will remove his mask and get
out in the broad open light of day we
will endeavor to convince him that it is
just as easy for ns to tell why the crime
of which he speaks required defense.
The half of this 8cott matter has never
been told and if some people dislike to
/ be cut in twain they should not monkey |
around the bnaz taw. i
SOME THINGS GROVER DOETH
ACCORDING TO HOTLE.
And It cnme to past in those days that
the people were called upon to choose a
ruler of the nation, and there waa great
commotion among the rabble and those
in high places.
Grover, whose surname was Cleveland,
led the army of the ungodly, and Denjft
min, of the house of the patriarch Har
rison, was chief of the righteous hosts.
And it came to pass that there was a
great battle, which waa on the eleventh
month of the year, and the wicked tri
umphed and flourished for a season like
the green bay tree. And Grover, sur
named Cleveland, was chosen king.
In those days the king had divers offi
ces to be Ailed, and it was a custom to
give them to the faithful and to those
who had distinguished themselves in
battle; and they were called publicans.
And it did come to pass that in the
army of Grover, whose surname was
Cleveland, there was a scribe called
Mud, whose surname was McHugh, who
was a hypocrite. And when it was ru
mored about that the army of Grover
had triumphed in battle, the scribe,
called Mud, whose surname was McHugh,
rejoiced greatly and straightway made
him a petition upon a slab of stone and
prayed that he might be chosen master
of the post in the city, which was O’Neill;
and the dead and the wounded were still
lying even as they bad fallen in battle.
And when the multitude heard of
these things they were filled with won
der and amazement and fell each upon
the other’s neck and wept and asked
among themselves: "What shall we do?”
And then it came to pass that Augus
tus, whose surname was Doyle,
girded up his loins and smote his
breast three times and said: "Verily, I
also was a soldier in the army of Grover
and I was not a wolf, neither did I wear
sheep’s clothing, and I will get me this
office."
And he went straightway to the high
priest Castor, who was much beloved of
the house of Grover, and he said unto
him even as he had said unto his people.
And it came to pass that when the
wise men met in the synagogue they
were notified by the high priest Castor
oi me temerity ana presumtion or tbe
hypocrite, Mud, who war surnamed
McHugh; and when Castor, the high
priest, had spoken these things, the
wrath of the king waxed exceeding
great and he laid violent hands upon
Mud, whose surname was McHugh, and
cast him out into the cold; and forth
with gave the office to Augustus, sur
named Doyle, who was a buyer of kine.
And it came to pass that when the
people heard what had taken place in
the synagogue there was great rejoicing
among the multitudes, and they did eat
and drink and were merry. And they
took Augustus, whose surname was
Doyle, and anointed him; and Elmer,
whose surname was Williams, also a pub
lican, brought a silver censer and did
put thereon gums and fragrant spices
and did burn them and it was called
incense.
And when Mud, whose surname was
McHugh, saw all of these things he was
sorely troubled and did maryel exceed
ingly thereat; and he girded up his
loins and lifted up his voice and said:
"Verily I will be a pop. I will go into
the tribe of Ham and yank from the gol
den calf another leg,”
And the rabble threw stones at him,
and smote him with staves and he did
deliver himself of the rump ticket even
as the whale delivered itself of Jonah.
And there was eraat rptnieincr mrwinr*
the ninety and nine who were left in the
fold.
And it came to pass that the chin
of Mud, whose surname was McHugh,
grew exceeding long and did lie upon
his breast and the doctor whetted his
knife and cut seven and two inches
therefrom and bathed it with nitric acid,
and kicked him eleven times even as
Augustus, whose surname was Doyle,
had done; and bade him go down to the
sea in ships and cross over to an island
covered with sand burs and thistles and
hide himself from the sight of the just.
And the multitudes rejoiced again and
sang hosannas and offered tip thanks to
Grover and called him "hot stuff."
The office is worth #1,800 per year.
The Sun and Beacon Light evince con
siderable agitation over the fact that the
sate asked and received a continuance
in the Scott murder trial. Those pa
pers are always easily agitated when
matters do not transpire to their liking.
The attorneys for the defense and other
people with a suspicion of intelligence
know very well that such proceedings
are not unusual or unlawful. They
know further that three terms of the
district court may elapse before the state
can be forced to trial, if it desires to
avail itself of the limit. But then those
fellows must have something or other to
kick about and it might as well be the
district court as anything else, we pre
sume.
Ham Kautzman, editor of the O'Neill
Beacon Light, has returned to his red-hot
tripod, and is making an ass of himself
in the good old way. It would be natural
to suppose that after his experience
he would be glad of a chance to subside
and attract as little notice as possible,
but he is wilder than he used to be and
that is saying something.—Nebraska
Editor.
Congress adjourned promptly at
noon, Monday.
Tns boodlera and strikers should* pay
Mrs. Scott the money they borrowed of
him.—Beacon Light.
It is against Tan FnoNTigR’s better
judgment that it becomes a party to
drawing a lady into a newspaper contro
versy, but under the circumstances we
may be excused. We think the sugges
tion made by the Jew is timely and quite
the proper thing. If every man who
has any of Scott’s money would hasten
to pay it back the independent cam
paign fund would be much lighter next
fall than usual. For Instance that long,
lean correspondent from the river, who
had his hands in Scott’s pockets before
death—and perhaps after—would not
be financially able to put in so much
time on the stump in another campaign.
A light vote was cast at the bond
election last Friday. The proposition
was defeated by a vote of about four to
one. Bonds don't seem to go In Holt
any more.
