At last the Beacon Light is in the
hands of an undertaker.
The Beacon Light is dead. Un
dertaker Biglin had charge of the
obsequies.
--—
The editorial change on the Bea
con Light has set several politicians
to wondering where they are at.
Republican judges will see that
Bartley and Moore are punished for
their crimes if the prosecuting attor
neys do their duty.
Ghicaoo had a judicial election
last week and the republicans
carried the city. This is poor con
solation for the silverites.
Senator Thurston is recognized
and claimed by eastern newspaper
correspondents to be the ablest
orator in the senate. Good for
Nebraska
With the Short Line extended to
the coast, O’Neill would easily take
her place in the front rank of
Nebraska cities. Let us hope that
the road will be built.
The recent change. of the Beacon
Light, presenting as it does such
varied , and kaleidoscopic hues,
causes us to give it the cognomen of
“The Oonnundrum.”
- i Senator McEnery, of Louisiana,
created quite a sensation in the
senate last Saturday among his
democratic brethren by making a
speech in support of the tariff bill.
Newspapers throughout the coun
try, irrespective of political belief,
are talking about the return of bet
ter times. Even the paper which
one time olaimed W. J. Bryan as its
editor, the Omaha World-Herald,
says so, and it must be true.
No republican who has the wel
fare of his party at heart, can palli
ate or condone the crimes of dis
honest party officials. Men who
betray the people and the party that
honors them, Bhould be made to pay
the full penalty for their misdeeds.
The announcement in last week’s
issue of the Beaoon Light that Ham
Kautzman had sold his interest in
'/ the paper to O. P. Biglin, who
would run it in accordance with the
- Omaha platform, was the greatest
surprise ever experienced in the
. business circles of this city. No
regrets were expressed that Kautz
man had quit, but the idea of Biglin
running a free silver populist paper
was a stunner, and his salutatory
will be eagerly looked for and
perused with interest. We under
:# stand that Clyde King will be local
editor, and we can assure Brother
Biglin that he will have to produce
some editorial gems if he wishes to
keep his department ahead of that
t > *ke local editor. The Frontier
welcomes Mr. Biglin to the journal
istic field, and hopes that his editor
ial career will be as pleasant as he
anticipates.
? Tbs Fbomtxeb feels a kind of Bor
row for the poor Jew now that he is
being beseiged with enemies both
i ■ , from without and within. When he
first settled in O’Neill the whirligig
of time had so arranged circum
stances that with the least little bit
of tact he could have made his paper
, a power in the land and himseli
much beloved by the inhabitants
thereof, but he shut his eyes to the
opportunity, turned a deaf ear tc
the knock of fortune and today is
one of the most despised of men,
and bis pnblication without a sub
scriber so foolish as to place anj
confidence in its unintelligable rav
ings. Not content, or incapable oi
treating his opponents with courtesy
and fairness, he libeled them like a
fiend, contaminated them with hie
slimy tongue and swore at them like
a fishwoman. Instead of helping
his cause by employing such bar
baric methods, he simply and
effectually consolidated the forces
of the foe and made them unalter
ably and forever enemies to him and
his, and by the same practice drove
many men from his own party.
But his arrogance did not pause
oven there. He took home to him
self the victory which he did not
arrive in time to prevent, and would
not grant even a line of praise or
recognition to the generals who
fought like trojans for the victory
that ho claimed as his own. But
the scene is shifting and his friends
are slipping from him fast and
furiously. He will soon be com
pelled to take up his pilgrimage
again, for to walk forever and aye is
the fate of the Wandering Jew.—
Fhontieb, Sept. 5, 1895.
EXIT, KAUTZMAN.
Jjast week’s edition of the Beacon
Light contained the glad intelli
gence that Kautzman had sold oat
to O. F. Biglin, of O’Neill, and
would soon take his departure for
other fields and more congenial en
vironment. The people of O’Neill
read his farewell wail with great
complacency and satisfaction, heaved
large sighs of joy and gave utter
ance to vigorous words of approval.
If our readers will just reflect for
a moment they will remember that
three years ago The Frontier pre
dicted that this same thing would
take place. When the Jew was
imported into this county to do the
dirty work for the populists he was
not unknown to us. We were
familiar with his unenviable record.
We knew how he had been driven,
by the contempt of publio sentiment,
from Iowa to Idaho, and from Idaho
to Nebraska, where he spent years
wandering about like an outcast,
staying in one place just long
enough for the people to become
thoroughly acquainted with him,
which was not very long. We were
satisfied that his stay in O’Neill
would be but a repetition of his
adventures in other parts and we
made the prediction that he would
be forced to leave here. The proph
Bcy has been fulfilled even as it was
written. He leaves no friends, not
a tear will be shed, not a regret
expressed.
We know of no man who ever had
such a fine opportunity to worm
himself into the good graces of the
people as did this Wandering Jew.
He came here at a time when the
political affairs of the county were
full of “boil and babble, toil and
trouble.” The people were amazed
at the peculations of the county
officials and the disaster that had
overtaken them and the star of pop
ulisim was nearing its zenith. They
wanted a party organ that was
capable of taking advantage of con
ditions and thereby build up an
organization that would defy oppo
sition for years to come. But they
made a most grieveously unfortu
nate selection when they chose this
wry uii«. jc rw»u irum iuo lour
walls of a Keeley institute he at
once launched on a career of dis
graceful journalism that stands
without a parallel. Obscene and
degrading, with depravity of thought
and heart-rending poverty of ex
pression, he attacked personally all
those who opposed him, until he
had brought the party to the verge
of moral and material ruin and the
real leaders were forced to freeze
him out and spike his scatter-gun
of abuse, which had at last been
I turned upon men who had been his
friends in adversity. It was just
another case of the adder stinging
the bosom that had warmed it into
life. But retribution, swift, sure
and unrelenting has been camping
on his trail for some time and at
last it has overtaken him. Well,
old Jew, we have only to say, good
the day and better the luck that
sees thy departure, my laddie buck.

BETTER TIMES.
Things are looking up. The mosl
of us are glad to see it, and we do
not stop to debate whether the bet
ter times will help the republican
party. We are more interested in
the thing itself than we are in the
agent or the cause. People may be
unreasonable; but this is true: that
the party that is in power during
hard and pinching times has ex
treme difficulty to keep in kindly
relation with the people. It follows
that the party that is in power when
things turn for the better, and when
hopefulness takes the place of de
spondency, will be identified in the
public mind with the happy transi
tion. Therefore it is, as a a mere
matter of politics, that the republi
can party does not need to be con
cemed lest it will be denied credit.
Moreover, it does not .need to dis
pute the point with any other party,
for the fact, even a small amount of
fact, is confounding to theory by the
column or by the hour.
It. has been proven, over and over
again, that people do not always
know when they are well off, nor
when they ought to let well enough
alone, nor when, really, they have
very little trouble of the kind they
are justified in parading before the
public, as if it were a public issue.
An environment closes m upon
the people very quickly, arid they
are unable, with distinctness," to see
beyond it, or outside of it in any
way. Contentment does not seem
to be inherent in human nature, and
what we call common sense does
not, after all, seem to govern to any
very great extent. People are con
stantly getting the notion that if
they were doing this or that, if they
were faced this way or that, or if
they could just pry themselves out
of this rut or that into some other,
they could snap their fingers in
gleeful mood and be saucy, if they
just chose, to the universe. They
will not let well enough alone.
Their pictures of happiness are not
about them, but they see them only
in dreams; the prosperity for which
they strive is not in their keeping
now, but it is in somebody else’s
keeping. Their ambition is not to
be like themselves, but it is to be
like somebody, almost anybody,
besides themselves. Therefore the
general tendency among men is to
make themselves as restless: and as
uncomfortable as they can. That
they generally succeed goes without
saying.
If we care to be philosophical
about it we may admit that these
periodicals of calling men down
from their high horses are withal
providential, and therefore of good
to the human race. There are many
thousands of people today who met
aphorically kick themselves in the
full knowledge of the fact that a few
years ago they did not know enough
to know when they were well cff—
that they did not know enough to
distinguish between solid ground
under their feet and very thin ice.
In the absence of this information,
and a sufficient degree of ordinary
sense to control their notion, they
insisted upon crawling out further
and further from shore on this very
thin ioe, until they went in up to
their necks and over their heads.
The aotive business since has been
to get out. <'* - ? [
Meanwhile, what we call liquida
tion has been going on rapidly; and
many who conld only liquidate
up to a certain point have cried ont
for a general bankruptcy bill, so
that men hopelessly insolvent under
the stress of the times might start
in the world anew, presumably with
a fresh stock of worldly wisdom that
might stand them to some account
during the remainder of their lives.
At any rate, the people of the
United States, having had a severe
schooling, may be said now to be in
fair condition to do business, ahd
the signs are multiplying in 'a grati
fying way that times are getting
better and that the prospect is rea
sonably good for continued and
substantial betterment—Sioux City
Times.
