It is suspicioned that Occidental
Bates has charge of the Atkinson de
partment of the Smudge.

Mr. Cleveland ought to be made to
give $500 to any helpless babe handi
capped for life's race with his name.
Commerce abroad is a beautiful thing
to dream about, but an increase in com
merce at home is the first duty of a
statesman.
A Chicago church is to have the
heaviest chime of bells ever cast in
America. They were cast in Baltimore
the other day.
Tbk income tax he* been declared
unconstitutional. What now will be
come of that yawning chasm—the na
tional treasury?
Tbk Amelia Journal plant has been
removed tc Atkinson, from which place
the paper will be issued in the form of
a seven-column folio.
Tbk St. Paul Globe says Harry Hay
ward's nerve is not weakening. It is
reported that he is giving souvenir
hangmen’s nooses to his friends.
Tbk democrats are much . handier
with a surplus than a deficit. They can
change the former into the latter in a
manner that would cause an oriental
magician to blush.
Ir the Tennessee democrats can afford
to endorse the theft of the governorship
the republicans can stand it. It ought
to result in putting the state into the re
publican column to stay.
William McKinley says the present
administration has transferred the bur
den of taxation from imported goods of
foreign countries to the incomes, the
investments and the property of our
own people.
Tbk World's Fair medal-winners
have been Informed by the treasury de
partment that they may get their medals
about next August. That’s about as
near up to date as the administration is
on anything.
Secretary Herbert proposes to re
duce the pay of painters in the govern
ment navy yards; he also proposes to
take his usual summer junket in a gov
ernment vessel and at the expense of
the government.
Tbk question is, does the police judge
show a proper concern for the peace
and dignity of the state of Nebraska, a
conservator of which he is supposed to
be, when he advocates the' tarring and
feathering of his competitors?
An awful fear fills the breasts of Holt
county populists. They have heard it
whispered that the people are disgusted
with their spurious reform and may
combine for mutual protection and next
fall expunge them from the record.
--<♦►
Editor Sbbldon, of the Chadron
Signal, the leading populist organ of
North Nebraska, after taking a careful
survey of the field in this judicial dis
trict, conced^ the renominatioh of the
present presiding judges, Messrs. Kin
kaid and Bartow, and he would not be
surprised tit see them both elected.—
Stuart Ledger.
A man before a Maine court was re
cently held in 18,000 bond, tor simple
assault and threat to kill. He should
follow the star of empire westward in
its flight and locate in Holt county
where such innocent diversion would
cause him no annoyance. He could
murder a man here and be released on a
$800 bond, or even kill a horse and se
cure hit release for $500.
A Wisconsion tailor baa been arrested
for swindling through the mails, on
complaint of an Indiaua preacher. He
advertised to send a receipt to cure
drunkenness on receipt of one dollar,
and when the Indiana preacher received
his document it read: "Sign the pledge
and stick to it.” We do not see that the
preacher had any reason to complain.
Certainly the advice was good, as easy
to take as medicine, and according to
how far he had progressed in the drink
ing line, it would be no hard task to
figure out how soon his dollar would be
saved. Lota of men have paid more
than a dollar for advice less practical.
Col. Conger, of Ohio, says ex-Presi
dent Harrison is as much a candidate
for the presidency as McKinley, Reed or
Allison. There is certainly a very
strong undercurrent throughout the
country for Harrison. He made such
an excellent president before, his ad
ministration was so free from scandal
and alliances of all kinds, he was so
much of an American throughout and
has been so manly and dignified as a
plain American citizen since he laid
down the highest honors of his country
that the people feel he is a safe man to
lead the country out of the sloughs and
quagmires into which it was plunged by
the election of 1892. No one has ever
heard him complain of his defeat, and
every public utterance he has made
since then has had the ring of a true
American in every sentence.
The Deacon Light again insolent!
refers to a mortgage upon this instilu
' tion and commands the holder thereo
to cause us to desist from further expos
ure of populism, threatening dire dis
aster if the peremptory mandate is no
religiously observed. Seems strangi
that this fellow should assert and reiter
ate that this paper never publishes facts
and then make such strenuous efforts t<
have it gagged. But it will hardli
work. We have a record which sayi
that no man or set of men control ou:
course, and we do not believe that oui
readers will for a moment seriously
think to the contrary. The names ol
the men who edit this journal appear ai
the bead of the first column of this
page, and they desire to say that they
alone are responsible for its policy.
Unfortunately they did find it conven
ient to mortgage the office, but in so
doing they did in no manner whatsoever
mortgage their freedom of speech or
press. If the time ever comes in the
course of our business here that this
compiler is denied the privilege of say
ing what he would, or oompelled to say
what he would not, he will bury his pen
to the hilt in the floor and go out shoot
ing ployer. The people who imagine
this paper will submit to dictation are
sadly mistaken, me people who im
agine that anyone has ever tried to in
fluence this paper are just as sadly mis
taken. We are not so full of egotism
that we will not listen to reason and
friendly counsel and take It for what
we consider it worth, but when we will
we will and that’s all there is to it. We
have been under pecuniary obligations
to different men but none of them has
ever over stepped the bounds of business
principles so far as to intimate that his
power exceeded the plain provision of
his bond, nor do we believe that any
man will.
Writing of Grover Cleveland in the
State Journal TV. V. Annin says: “In
his retreat at old Beauvoir on the
Woodley Lane road, the president has a
home that could not be quieter and
safer and be near to the city, a home
that is situated on rising ground, com
manding a clear view of the surround
ing country, over the tree tops and
down the road. On bright afternoons
the drive out to Woodley is one of the
most popular about Washington. Aris
tocratic carriages are always in sight,
and there does not seem to be one
chance in a thousand for any person,
even if so Inclined, to force his way
into the mansion with malevolent intent.
Mr. Cleveland, however, does not regard
his position as a safe one. He does not
consider that his life and person are yet
safe from the bold attacker, and day and
night the blue-coated policemen are
guarding Beauvoir the same as they did
at the White house, when Mr. Cleveland
was in the city. The policemen stand
on the outside of the house and patrol
up and down in front of the door, and
when a carriage or pedestrian ap
proaches up the carriage way, instantly
take position at the front steps, and no
one, unless satisfactory explanation can
be given, is even allowed to ring the
doorbell. Mr. Cleveland has dispensed
with the private detective guard that
used to follow him about whenever he
Tode, and there is apparently no reason
why he should not order the policemen,
who have been taken from the force of
Washington and placed on guard duty
at Beauvoir, to return at once to the
city and to no longer disfigure the
scenery of the beautiful country home
and make himself appear ridiculous to
the public."
Mrs. Broaddus, of Ewing, is making
a nuisance of herself by prosecuting the
relief business so far beyond the bounds
of reason and necessity. Our attention
has, during the past winter, been several
times called to her methods, but after an
investigation we did not feel like plac
ing a straw in her way, as we were in
formed by excellent authority that she
was in fact doing good work in relieving
the needy and distressed. One indi
vidual told us that she had, to his per
sonal knowledge, cared for at least three
hundred deserving families in the vicin
ity of Ewing. For that reason we per
mitted her to work in her own way her
wonders to perform, without a dissent
ing word from us, although we never
really believed the ends justified the
means she adopted. The pitiful tales of
sorrow and woe that she caused to be
published in eastern papers were in the
main untrue, but that was somewhat
palliated by the fact that they brought
in numerous donations of merchandise
and rhino, with the latter of which it Is
said she lined the pockets of her jeans.
But that is now a matter of the past and
as nothing can be done about it it
should be allowed to drop and steps
taken to cause her to subside. There is
now no excuse for her begging and the
citizens of Ewing should surround her
with a mass convention and implore her
to break away. By her persistency she
is casting grave suspicion upon her sin
cerity of purpose; suspicion that her
past meritorious acts cannot cover.
-—
Everyone agrees that Admiral
Meade's criticism of the administration
was unwise, but it was not untrue.
The Rockford Republican says it has
been figured out that it costs $450 to
save a Chicago sinuer, and that being
so, the average kind of a sinner ought
| to be saved for a great deal lest.
