What will the Nebraska club do in the presidential mnddlef “Stand up for Nebraska?” - It this McKinley enthusiasm in Nebraska is in reality nothing bnt a fight for a place in the cabinent for Thurston, let it be so understood. -- . ■»«#»« Bill Nyx, the most widely read of American humorists, died last Satur day at his home at Back Shoals, North Carolina, at the age of 46 years. Overwork was the primary ' cause of his death. He will be sin . oerely mourned by newspaper read era. The Fsoimra is as much opposed to an instructed Manderson delega tion as it is to an instructed McKin , ley delegation, but it would favor the election of delegates who would vote for Henderson whenever there : was a ghost of a show for his elec i. tion. . .;<l,.

He adds: "We do sot wish to interfere with Senator v Maadernon’a candidaoy, but ask for Hr. Alliaorvthe help of Nebraska as itsohoice after Mr. Manderson." A hcmbbb of papers, populist of course, are accusing Senator Thurs ~ ton of being inconsistent in his pos ition relative to silver. They say that before his election he was foi . free and Unliasited coinage at 16 to 1. ‘ This is not trua The broadest statement made by Mr. Thurston in • that connection was that he favored the free ooinage of the American product. ■ _.

Tam Fboxtikb is ^ - free to oonfaas that under the pres ent condition of affaira it does not believe any map charged with cattle rustling can get a square deal in Holt county. We do not oharge that a jury would knowingly cooTict ah innocent man. but there has been eo much agitation over. this cattle business that a juror goes into the bos predisposed to oonTiot, and in that dangerous state of mind is lia ble to give undue weight to unim portant testimony. The state’s fights are unprejudiced by a change ■»f venue: if there is a good oaae against a prisoner he can be con tfeUd befara a jury of disinterested **: -V Thtjrston bos said McKinley shall have the Nebraska delegation', Manderson has said he wants it him self, and in the course of events there is likely to be a elasii. Oar able senator seems to be laboring under the entirely erroneous idea that he is the republican party of the state of Nebraska. The repub licans of Nebraska have been very kind to John M. Thurston: they have given him that which he covet ed, but in so doing they honored Thurston, Thurston did not honor them. The republicans are proud of their senator and agree that his elec tion was a happy incident; they sit spell-bound while he speaks and ap plaud him to the echo when he has done, but for all that they have not j turned over to him their individu ality nor the fee-simple of the party for even a minute. Senator Mander son is a man who in an official ca pacity brought honor to our state and was himself honored by one of thr highest gifts at the disposal of the people’s representatives; he is a man who has a right to aspire to the presidency, and while we believe his nomination is improbable, we deny that he is "too late.” Why is he too latef Because Thurston has promised the state to McKinley ? Tux Fremont Tribune says if the McKinley mem so desire they can force ian instruction for him. That may be true, but We would suggest to the boys that they keep cool and not get excited over this matter. Nebraska republicanism is in no Condition for foroing; that has been tried. A resolution can always be railroaded through when a conven tion has beep fixed for the purpose, but under the Australian system of voting a man cannot be forced to do anything. Thb Fbontieb does not wish to be understood as being op posed to McKinley, as it is not We believe that McKinley is the choice —after Manderson—of. a majority of the republicans of Nebraska, but there is no sense in that majority antagonizing the minority and mak ing them sore. Unless the present complication is deftly treated it will cut a serious figure in state politics. We believe that county conventions this year when they elect delegates should express a preference, and that the state convention should do the same, and then • Bend delegates who will do the best they can, but not incumbered with instructions. It will do the state no good to die in the ditch with a losing man. ENOUGH 18 ENOUGH. The condition of affairs on the Niobrara river is such that should appeal to the hearts of the law abiding and justice-loving people of not only the county of Holt but the entire state of Nebraska. You people who rest secure under the proteotion guaranteed you by the constitution of the state, just pause for a moment and consider the situation of the settlers along the piotureeque but bloody Niobrara. Old and honest men and women ter rorized by a band of outlaws who are willing at any time to commit crime from murder down; men who assume power to settle disputed land titles and peremptorily order inof fensive citizens to quit their own firesides, leave the homes and scenes of their youthful labors, the labor of the beet days of their lives, and turn them out as wanderers upon the faee of the earth. - The commands of these tyrants most either be obeyed, or unceasing harassment Mid probably death is the result. Vo men who do not choose to be driven from home life is a protracted and awful tragedy. The suspense is dreadful. Every bush hides a band of assassins who yearn to welcome them with bloody hands to hospitable graves. In or der to be prepared for defense it is necessary to carry fire-arms; even some women go armed, and all ex pect an attack at any time and place. " It is time that this foolishness should cease. It is time that con certed aotion were taken by some body to stop it, and men allowed to pass their declining years secure in their possessions, even though thev may have had the temerity to testify against men charged with the mm der of Scott If this state of affairs is allowed to continue a terrible re sponsibility will rest upon some I body's shoulders.
