Ham mond needs some one to expert his figures. _ _ Judok Valbntihb was defeated for sergeant-at-vms of the senate by H. L. Grant, of North Carolina, last Friday. Thb Fbohtibb had hoped that the Judge might be successful. D. A. Colb has retired from the Ew ing Advocate, and is succeeded by Geo. A. Raker. The Advocate has taken some great strides perfection wards since Mr. Raker identified himself with it. Hob. Jas. Whithhbad has been ap pointed by the board of public lands and buildings to the position of agent at the penitentiary. The appointment : carries with it a salary of 81,000 and living expenses. The friends of Mr. Whitehead in this section congratulate him and the slate simultaneously. ’ Nbbbaska politics is possessed of Wonderful recuperative powers. Hardly are the clods thrown upon the graves of the politically dead before the mourners brush from their eyes a tear of regret ' for the vanquished and turn upon tbeir heels to welcome the coming campaign. Time was, we remember, when an elec tion settled things for a season and the people by common consent talked, wrote and dreamed of other things. Politics is all right in its place, but a : recess of at least 40 days should be taken during Lent. Thb man who is writing those malic ious lies to the Omaha papers in regard to the vigilante populits holding up men and all suoh like, should, if apprehend ed, be rotten-egged, tarred-and-fetber ed, rode-on-a rail and given two hours to leave town in. The above comedy of errors appeared , last week in the Chambers Bugle, which is the pop’s Official paper in the south country. It serves to emphasize the ■ Oft-heard assertion that the pops are op posed to mob rule. The smart young men of the Bugle are respectfully re ; ferred to the Ryan Interview, on our first page, -- Thb Chadron Signal insists that Sena ‘ tor Thurston meant it when bo said Nebraska would give the national re publican ticket 80,000 majority, no mat ter what the platform. Thb Fbohtibb •Jla inclined to think the senator was right. At the same time the assertion Was no reflection on the intelligent voters of the .state, but on v the other hand was a yery pretty codtpliment. Thurston knows the people will not vote for another democratic administra Hont he knows also that they have had enough of populism, and therefore will ^ welcome with open arms a republican administration with any kind of a plat form. - ■' ■ ' ■ . Thb populist editors of O’Neill are a consistent lot of numskulls, to say the lout. The Jew says it will do no good to organise a Nebraska club to induce immigration ao long u Holt county is published abroad as a nut of thieves and vigilantes, and in another column it says ‘'were It not for the intelligent, i law-abiding, patriotic good sense and > oool heads—waiting for the action of courts that sum to never come—there would have been thieves enough hung or shot to plant a skull to mark the cor oner of every section in north Holt ' county.” Lotus see: In north Holt county there are some 8000 corners: at the last general election 8400 votes were oast: now in order to kill the Jew’s qqota of thieves it would be necessary to ex terminate not only every voter in Hie f county, but WO women and children be sides. That's a nice story to circulate. ; HOT MUCH. , We bn been asked to take i trip .through the Junglea of the Niobrara country and investigate the vigilant ' question. The inatlgator of thia scheme to get tw up there believes that the stories about the vigilante are exagger ated, and that we would find such to be . the case and proclaim it to the world. Now, we are tritely thankful to the gen : tlemaa for hie confidence in our fair • neaa, still we hesitate. However, to show that wo are willing to do anything in order to cause the ringing off of this i' viagilant talk, we will make thia propo ' aitlon: That Clyde King, of Tnn Fsomu, go first, and if he geta back with his hair the same color it was . when he went and his scalp locks in : taot, then we will go.—Atkinson Qrephle. How very patriotic It would be for Bro. Jen neaa to sacrifice one of Tnn Vaoanis editors in'the cause) But Clyde wlH not go.. The color of his hair mlts him pretty well the way It is, .and then, anyway, he hasn’t lost any thing (but Us reputation) on the Nio* ‘"v t '■ ■ wv - Imo. V*. O’NEiLL BUSINESS DIRECTORY nil. J. P.
