The Sibley silver party has bad ono

What right have other nations to in*

Tni Kohlsaat newspaper rumor has
deprived the democratic party of its
only Chicago organ and settled down
for a long engagement at home.
Iy Mr. Cleveland can make the south

silver, or any other question, be will do
more than any one has done for a long

Thhrh are no hostile Indians in South

Forty shots were fired at a recent Sun
day-school scrap.
Thh Beacon Light does not seem to
relish the decision of the supreme court
on the Income tax case. Wonder why
it does not appeal it to the court of last
resort in the Niobrara district?
Lit the Bun turn to the record and
there learn the complexion of the boards
that allowed republican clerks unlawful
wages. If there is any comfort in that
for the independents they are certainly
f;welcome to it.
Thihh is a wide difference between
the opinions of Secretary Morton, who
says money is no more controlled by
law than is rye and wheat, and Senator
Harris, who says money is purely the
creature of the law.
Thi Sun man boasts that he has made
few "retractions or corrections.” That
is no indication however, that retractions
and corrections should not have been
made. The Sun man and Whiskers be*

the truth any time.
> Tsana is only one bimetalic party in
this country and that is the republican
party which has always stood up for the
use of both gold and silver as money,

control of all branches of the govern
ment, solve the financial problems whioh
have daxed the democrats.
Whxh courts become destructive of
the constitutional rights of the people,
then they are a menace to good gov

This is significant when it is under
% stood that its author declares that the
courts have "become destructive to the
constitutional rights of the people."

Thh Sun begs vociferously for some
one to please pound "a little horse sense
into the craniums of the editors of Thh
Fbontibx.” Is Charlie finally begin
ning to realise that nature endowed him
with but sufficient intelligence to com
pete with that grade of brains? Had
some power the gift given him to see
. himself as others saw him he would have
discovered long ago that nature had
been playing cheat with him.
It is a little greweome, we confess, to
sit In our sanctum and read the discus
sion of the boys in regard to the proba
bility of our being lynched by the vigl
1 enters. While the subject has, perhaps,
some remote foundation, we are not. in
clined to be fearful. Not that we do
not think there are men in the county
who desire such proceedings, but rather
that they do not see their way clear to
Improve matters. If Thh Frontier
editors were to be disposed of by the
"court of last resort in the Niobrara dis
trict" it would in no wise impair the ef
fective work done by this paper. The
republicans would be represented and
some one else could be found to take up
the work where the vlgilanters might
break it off. The editors in question
; cannot exactly understand why this talk
of lynching should be indulged in any
way. They are guilty of no crime fur
ther than that of publishing their senti
ments. This may be reason enough for
some men to wish them ill, but certainly
not for extreme measures. The popu
lists as a party could not afford to see
our old gray hairs molested because an
act of that kind would certainly let down
the bars to acts of violence that would
brood good to no one. What
would be sauce for the goose would also
■J,: be sauce for the gander. The men who
f moat intensely hate this paper are men
who lack the moral courage to do their
r own dirty work, and we believe lack
also the influence to incite othera (in
this particular case) to do it for them.
The boys of the presa should preserve
- tiysir indignation for effect after the
fact.
Tn Sun, with great persistency,
labors to spread the impression that we
think the salaries paid Holt county's
assistants are too large. Now that is
erroneous and might just as well be cor
rected now. The position we take is
simply this: that when republicans were
In power the populism raised a great hue
and cry about the salaries paid assist
ants, and said that the county .was full
of good, competent men who would do
the work for 980 per month. With talk
of this kind they were given control of
the county offices. Did they then do
that which they said republicans should
have done? Not much. They pro
ceeded to pay republican wages and
when reminded of their ante-election
promises they justify themselves by
pleading republican precedent. Tbis ia
exactly the atatua of the case. The Sun
ia as unreaaonable as it is illogical when
it undertakes to compare conditions of
’05 with conditions of '91 and '92, and
thereby justify populist expenditures.
Under republican rule the county was
prosperous and the people paid their
taxes, because they had money with
which to pay them. We do not say
that tha republicans were entirely
responsible for the good crops in those
years; being in control under those
favorable conditions may have been
purely a coincidence, yet the fact re
mains that taxes were paid, fees of offi
cers reached the maximum and excesses
were turned into the county treasury.
When business was good and money
plenty the county could better afford to
be generous with her help. Things
were not then on a hard times basis and
we still maintain that under promises
made by the populists the people have a
right to demand a reduction of salaries
of assistants.
George W. Leidior, who in a few
days will be installed for a term of two
years as warden of the only peniten
tiary in Nebraska, is a democrat. He
baa voted that ticket for years and years
I without being able to give any reason
for it. He is wealthy and needs no sal
ary to keep his soul and body from fall
ing apart. What is the populist party
here for? What are its principles? In
its great campaign of 1890, the speakers
declared that poverty was a badge of
honesty, and it put up a man for gov
ernor as hard up as any of us, and
elected Jim Boyd. It sent Kem to con
gress because he had a mortgage on his
farm bigger than the farm itself. It
sent Shrader to the ligislature and
shifted McKeighan from a sod shanty to
a stone boarding house with a marble
floor and walnut hat rack. It exalted
the humble and retired G. W. E. Dor
sey to private life. It declared that the
venal old parties bestowed their choic
est benefactions of office and emolument
upon those least needy, and took an
oath, by the blood of Jay Burrows and
D. Clem Denver, that a public office was
a private snap that should henceforth go
to the man who needed it in his busi
ness. What do we see now? After sev
eral modest appointments, the governor
gives out one of the juciest plums in
payment of a political obligation con
tracted by Senator William V. Allen,
and it goes to a man who has more of
this world’s goods than Kem will have
after he has drawn 85,000 a year for six
years. No doubt Mr. Leidigh will be
faithful to the trust reposed in him, but
why not have named Jerome Shamp,
Porter, of Merrick, Sheridan the brave,
Marsh Elder, Constitutional Shrader,
Jim O'Shee or some other intrepid and
lion-hearted man who has sacrificed
something in the cause of calamity?
Why not? And yet again, why not?—
State Journal.
We notice again by the Smudge that
the Jew is crediting himself with the
populist success in this bailiwick.
We believe the courso pursued by
Ham Kautzman since his importa
tion into this county has been almost as
odious to a majority of the members of
his own. party as it has been to other de
cent people. And we believe this to be
especially true of the men who were and
who are the backbone of the independ
ent party of Holt county. They owe
nothing to this imposter, Kautzman.
The fight was won, by hard work, be
fore he was installed as editor of the
Smudge and no thanks are due to him
for the victory won by the independ
ents over the republicans. Coming on
the field of battle after the flag was
taken he swelled up like a poisoned pup,
took home to himself the honors of the
victory and never learned to subside,
while men to whom honor was due—if
honor can come from such misfortune—
stepped aside and let him toot his own
horn, which otherwise would not have
been tooted. Of course this is no par
ticular business of ours or any one else
except those most directly interested,
yet at the same time it makes us awfully
weary to see this nonentity assuming to
be somebody, pretending ability, when
he is as illiterate as a Digger Indian and
more devoid of ideas m regard to the
profession of which he essays to be a
part. We are surprised that the stock
holders of the Independent Publishing
company have allowed him to retain ed
itorial management. They must see
that his tactics are pernicious and de
structive to the interests of the party.
By his bulldosing, libelous and black
mailing policy he precludes the possibil
ity of conversions to the faith. While
this is good for republicans, we cannot
help but think what an excellent oppor
tunity the populists in this county have
had to graft themselves into the good
graces of the people and cement their
supremacy by honest and consistent
dealings. Perhaps, though, the Jew is
not entirely to blame for this. It may
be that the stockholders of his company
are at the bottom of it. They may have
mapped out a policy for him and he has
no choice but to follow it or lose his
“Job."
