Something seems to be wrong with
Sioux City’s police force. Ciiminals
and thngs hold a carnival of blood there
seven days in the week, and while a few
are apprehended, most of them go un

went down to the Missouri rlyer the
other day to commit suicide. She
paused on the rough sands at the water’s

too cold for her and she decided to lire.
Last week the Sun published an arti
cle of three eolumns under the heading
of “The Price of Liberty.” It was pub
lished as editorial matter, but it was not
written by the editor of the Sun. It
bote the ear marka of the Idol; It had
bis peculiar style of spread-eagleism and
lacked the truth, sense and logic that his
effusions generally laok. He wrote of
politics and of course praised the honest
pope and mercilessly belabored the un
regaoerate opposition. We aie satisfied
that the Idol is the author. His “dead
carrion” ia on an equality with his “time
for future preparation.”
Amoko the fool laws on' the statute
books of Nebraska is the one providing
for the examination of the books of the
county treasurers of ths state, or at
least, the way it seems to be done is a
farce. A man comes around about once
In two years, checks up the books of the
; treasurer, comparing. the totals only,
with the entriss in the cash book aud
dose the aame with the other recorde of
the offloe and away ho goes. It Is no
r protection to the taxpayers because it
does not go Into the details of the office.
But it makes a place for some political
hanger-on. Otherwise It Is perfectly
ueelese and if the tax payers did not
have to foot the bills it would be per
fectly harmlese.--8!oux County Journal.
Tan Fboktibb regrete exceedingly
the defeat of Judge Bartow In this Ju
dicial district During a four year's
term on the bench the Judge has shown
himself to be not only an able Jurist
who had no favor to bestow upon friend
Bor malice to extend to enemy, but a
gentleman in the most exaot meaning of
the term. While he was defeated by
but a scratch and grounds fora contest
are good, we know nothing of his In
tentions In this direction. If he has
been defeated fairly, as elections go, he
Uhonld, and no doubt will, abide the re
sult. If, however, fraud has been per
. pet rated he not only owes it to himself:
but to his constituency to expose the

Doc liATHBWfl, In his Tim Press,
Uk«« occasion to rout thn life oat of tbe

maliciously throws In n few "political
secrets" by way of desert. Doc, In tbe
vernacular of tbe Arkansas swamps,
says the correspondent Is s “liah;” thet
there is no slckaeee In. tbe Oread Prairie
and that tbe pooreet people In Arkansas
> are the richest on earth. Jess Mellor,

and engaged in business and then remov

In business toys ‘‘Jo” did not tell half
the truth; that conditions as described

sas. Mathews went down to Stattgart

* To chairman,'8. J. Weekee, and seo
- rotary, Clyde King, of the Holt county
/ republican central committee, are to be
Oougratulated for the good work they
%-Hi in the late campaign. They had s
great responsibility on their shoulders,
. sstd they realised it by giving their best
. efforts for tbe enocesa of the ticket. Nc
two men in the county could have dons
better. The odds were against them.—
Graphic. ,
If good work was done by tbe repub
licans in the last campaign tbe chairman
and secretary—particularly the chair
man—are entitled to some credit, but
not to all of it by any means. A chair
man and secretary could do nothing
without the hearty co-operation of the
rank and file, and to them belongs the
greater part of the glory. And this re
minds us that a better organization is
needed for next year. Voters not di
rectly connected with tLe conventions
or central committee often imagine that
there is nothing- they can do, or that
they are not expected to do anything.
This is always a grievous error. For a
perfect organization tbe assistance and
co-operation of every one is absolutely
indispensable and when Individual mem
bers of the party begin to fully appre
ciate this truth and act accordingly bet
ter results will follow. Tbe committee
this year was a fairly good one, although
not as enthusiastic in some quarters as
was wished for. Organization is tbe
secret of success.
THE PRESCIENCE OF BLAINE.
There ia an extract from a speech of
James O. Blaine made during the cam
paign of 1888 that has been used over
and over again, and that will become as
familiar and as memorable as Lincoln’s ,
great speech at Gettysburg, which failed
to attract attention at the time of its de
livery, says the Fremont Tribune. This 1
speech of Blaine’s was freely quoted
during the campaign of 1803, but the
people weie heedless and rushed head
long into the pit that democracy had
prepared and which Blaine had foreseen (
and foretold. Following is the extract
from the speech that has attracted so
much attention and it is worthy of’ pres
ervation in every person’s scrap book:
"I love tty country and my country
men, I am an American and rejoice
every day of my life that I am. I enjoy
the general prosperity of my country,
and know that the workingmen of this .
land are the best paid, the best fed and i
the best clothed of any laborers on the '
face of the earth. Many of them have
homes of their own. They are sur
rounded by all the comforts and many
of the luxuries of life. 1 shudder,
however, at the thought that the time
must come when all this will be changed.
When the general prosperity of the
country will be destroyed. When the
great body of workingmen in this land, -
who are now so prosperous, will hear
their wives and children cry for bread;
that the day must come when the great
factories and manufactories of the land
will shut down, and where there is now
life and activity, there wiil be the silence
of the tomb. And the reason why this
must be is this: 1
"The great southern wing of the dem
ocratic party is determined to establish
the doctrine of free trade in this land.
They will be assisted by their northern
allies. The fight ia now on. There is a
great body of visionary but educated
men who are employed day by day in
writing free trade essays and arguments
In favor of that doctrine, which find
their way into every newspaper in this ]
land. |
"The great body of our people have
never experienced, themselves, the suf
fering which always results when the j
protective principles are laid aside. :
Polsioned and exiited by the wild state- ,
ments of these writers and the dema- 1
goglc appeals of democtatic speakeis, ’
the result will be that in the very near ,
future these forces which are now work
ing will be strong enough to defeat at
the polls the party advocating the doc
trine of protection. It must inevitably
follow that uncertainty will ensue. The I
business men of the country, fehring
the destruction of the principle of pro
tection, will decline to engage in busi
ness, consequenly mills will shut down !
and the workingmen will be thrown out
of employment. The people will then
see as we have seen before—that they
cannot be prosperous and have work
while this principle is threatened. In
the midst of their suffering they will
learn that the only way they can be
prospernus and happy is to vote for the
party that has built up the industries by
whloh they have gained a livelihood; be
cause they will then see clearly that
when the manufactory is shut down
there is no demand for the only thing
which they have to sell, and that is their
labor’”
