The Frontier.
rVBUBBBD (TUT THURSDAY BT
f'.' THE FRONTIER PRINTING COMPANY
KING A OhONIN. Editors.
Thb governor vetoed tbe sugar and
; chicory bounty bill. It was passed over
his head.
Ip you see it in tbe Amelia Journal yon
may rest assured that it is nothing more
than an echo from Whiskers.
Germany collects 930,000,000 income
tax, only those having less than 000
marks (about 0314) a year being exempt.
The city election of Tuesday clearly
demonstrates that the peoplo are grow
ing sicker and sicker of anything bear
ing the taint of populism.
Burweli,, Garfield county, haa a pop
ulist paper called tbe Eye. Its make-up
is so awful that it gives one that “sink
ing feeling" to look at it.
The handsome majority by which Mr.
Biglln was returned to tbe mayoralty
after a two years' lay-off Is certainly
cause for self-congratulation.
Tins governor vetoes with prompt
ness and dispatch all measures which
relieve him of the appointive power. In
the case of the Omaha fire and police
commission his argument is certainly
Rood. t __
Thb next republican national conven
tion toill not be run for the purpose of
vindicating any man or idea, but for the
restoration of the control of tbe gov
ernment to the republican party and the
consequent return of general prosperity.
Thb Fremont Tribune refers to Doc
Devries' Herald as the “Little Early
Riser." We guess the doctor carries a
diploma and it he wants to issue a daily
that is aperient in its effect and nature,
bo one has the right to interfere. Take
your mediolne, Rosa.
Gallaohbb exerted himself in the
First ward contest. If a few more of
his ilk had shown* their hands in the
tight there’s no telling how large the
other side’s majority would have been.
It seems to be hard for some people to
learn that their support is a detriment to
any candidate.
Thi Jew received the highest number
of votes cut for police judge at the city
election Tuesday. There was no candi
date on the ticket and he was written in
about fifty times. One of Thb From
| Tin editors wae elected in the some
way laat year. This paper leads, it
never follows. We originate, never im
itate.
Whim the Jew and the rest of hie
"Niobrara District" regulators get ready
to eecort the balance of the "county
boodlere” to the county line they may
l1*' find that the line is not nearly so far
away as at present. "The boodlere” do
7 not like the regulators and may move
the line a little closer in order to sooner
part company with the vigs.
Its of the O’Neill postolfice fight and
defeat of editor McHugh. Bro. Me has
our sympathy. It ever a fellow tried to
earn a postofflee by "crooking the preg
nant hinges of the knee” before the aw
ful presence of the Joss at Washington
. Mo la that fellow. But Morton and To
bias 9astor had him slated for slaughter.
- It must be the reason why he failed to
support Tom Majors for Governor.—
Chadron Signal.
Tan accidental hanging of the boy
Lee per la a ead eequel of the Scott trag
edy. The former ie but a natural out
come of the latter. The boy had heard
ao much hanging talked that he became
curious, with diaaetroua result*. A mock
^ trial at a lyceum in hia neighborhood,
f where a county treaaurer waa tried,
found guilty of embessllng twocenta
and immediately hanged by a masked
mob, waa hardly the proper thing to
teach and demonstrate so vividly.
So long as The Krohtibr quotes the
law correctly the fountain from which
It draws its inspiration is a matter of in*,
difference to its leaders. If Whiskers
expects to lead Smudge readers out on a
higher plane of legal understanding it
will be necessary for him to employ a
new legal editor. The one now on his
staff is woefully Ignorant and advances
$■£;' opinions that are preposterous. Dut
the populist policy seems to one of de
ception rather than education anyway.
Wheh the board of supervisors allowed
the treasurer’s chief clerk $100 more per
year than is authorized by law, they sim
I ply stole that amount and the man who
receives it participates in the misappro
K priation. An hundred dollar steal is as
i:|' reprehensible as a theft of $100,000;
this all will admit We desire to call the
attention of the Sun and Swine Light
to this little matter of boodling that they
V may arise in their dignity and denounce
it. Simply because the perpetrators of
the offense are populists should not de
ter these guardians of the people’s
V' money from doing their duty. They
I,were not slow about showing their dis
'fi plessure when republicans were guilty
of the same offense and they must now
apply the rule or 'admit publicly
that they are craven hypocrites and in
the business for revenue, which we all
. know to be the case.
. v
T~
W11 Kit opposition papers resort to the
contemptible practice of misquoting us
in order to make it appear that they
have gained a point, the public will be
Justified in the opinion that we have the
better of the controversy. If that were
not the case why would our contempor
aries not refute our statements with
argument instead of resorting to trick
ery? There are few men who would
rather be dishonest than honest, but per
haps the Hog Light and Sun belong to
the former class.
Tiik crop outlook in Holt was a deep
indigo blue up to last Sunday, when old
Jupiter Pluvious relented and sent re
freshing moisture down in liberal quan
tities. The heavy bhow of Monday also
added vastly to the precipitation and
lent enchantment to the view. Grain
already in the ground is growing nicely
and the signs of the zodiac indicate a
bountiful harvest. Keep a rigid upper
lip and no not let the gloom of last year
extend in dire prophesies over the spring
of 1895.
-Tim paper has taken the lend in
O’Neill’s fight against division for the
past six years and has received payment
in kicks at the ratio of 16 to 1. The
men who were the most benefltted by
our fidelity to their interests and the
interests of the city, have since exerted
themselves in various ways to destroy
our business, simply because of a little
existing difference on the subject of pol
itics. They have canvassed the city and
county and advised people to boycot
us. But now when thuir interests are
threatened, they expect us to rush,
Winkefried-like, upon the spears of the
enemy and do our best to save the day.
Tub "vig” party (‘’court of last resort
in the Niobrara gulches,”) we take it, is
not the populist party of this county,
nor do we believe the populist party has
any use for the organization or upholds
them or looks upon them in any other
'light than that of semi-barbarians. Yet
the party at every turn in the road is
being compromised and put in embar
rassing positions by a certain clique in
this county. The party will have to
repudiate this outlaw gang and their
aiders and abettors or be counted of
them and with them. There is no inter
mediate ground to this question.—Stu
art Ledger.
“Mbt," the World-Herald's Lincoln
correspondent, has exposed the hypoc
risy of one or two populist leaders and
these leaders are squirming like a live
eel on a hot griddle. Senator Campbell,
of Nance, “Met” points out, has saddled
his brother onto the state as clerk of an
unimportant committee with which he
(the senator) was honored with a chair
manship and the brother has been in
dustriously sucking ‘‘blood’’ from the
slate treasury while he has been as reg
ularly attending school at the university.
Senator Dale, president of the State
Farmers Alliance, introduced a bill to
forbid the use of railroad passes by state
officials and now "Met” calls upon the
senator in vain to state if it is not true
that be has himself been corrupted with
such bribes. Nobody thinks any more
about Jeffreys, another populist senator,
and his queer antics than they do about
Crane, who has lost caste entirely.—Fre
mont Tribune.
A book called "Coin” is a new publi
cation that U being extensively read at
present. It advocates the free and un
limited coinage of silver at the ratio of
16 to 1. It believes that the United
States could maintain this system of
finance in defiance of all other nations
on earth. The book is written in a
catchy way and is converting some peo
ple who accept as truth all statements by
the author, instead of reasoning things
out for themselves. The Frontier
would warn republicans and others
against identifying themselves with this
16 to 1 move without first having care
fully considered both sides of the ques
tion. "Vfe do not think anybody objects
to the free and Unlimited coinage of sil
ver, but it is the ratio that causes dissen
sion. The free silver men contend that
demonetization caused silver to depre
ciate. They also contend that remon
etization would cause it to appreciate,
and upon this they base all of their ar
guments. Coin says it makes no differ
ence which one of the metals is used to
guage the value of the other. That be
ing the case, the value of silver must be
measured by the gold dollar, which is
now by law the unit. This being so
it would be necessary to put over
twice as much silver In a dollar as is now
contained in order to maintain the par
ity, as the silver dollar of to-day, as
measured by gold, is only worth about
47 cents. If the free silver champions
would only support a ratio of 33 to 1
The Frontier believes it would be
found leaning in that direction. The
assurance that they give us that remon
etization would see silver advance to its
old price is theoretical and problemati
cal and can be verified only by experi
ment, and if we must experiment let us
be on the safe side and experiment with
a ratio high enough to avoid danger. If
it is then found that the tendency of sil
ver is upward, reduce the ratio to suit
the occasion. The Frontier, unlike
some of its contemporaries, does not
claim to have this question down to a
nicety, but on the other hand realizes
that there is considerable to it and for
that reason cautions republicans to be
not carried away by the siren song of
the sophist. From our point of .obser
vation we see danger in free silver at 16
to 1, if not concurred in by other na
tions.
