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,. ''V.
| SaoaatABY Mobtoh will probably
if not new question his authority to
distribute seeds. We think with
. Hr. Morton that this seed business
■ is an unnecessary expense and one
that should be abolished. Might as
. well issue suits of clothes as to dis
tribute seeds that are neither "rare
nor unoommon.”

- Tea, he aaw his shadow, but that’s
nothing; the residents of Nebraska
have seen their shadows every day

Jacob Rich writes Tbb Fboxtikb
from Dubuque, la, that Senator Al
lison would greatly appreciate the
support of Nebraska republicans in
his efforts to secure the presidential
nomination. 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. ■ _. '

**: -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.
