The Frontier. PUBLISHED KVKKY THURSDAY BY THE FRONTIER PRINTING COMPANY D. H. CRONIN, Editor. By the employment of the,Omaha gentleman the supervisors hate admitted that they are incompetent to perform the duties of their office. CONOBESSMAN BlLL GbEENE does not cut much ice in the national halls of congress, and many of his admirers in this section of the coun try are disappointed thereat. Poor Bill, your days in congress are numbered. The Wayne Republican has en tered on its fifth year and is one of the most prosperous country papers in the state. The Republican is deserving of success as in our opinion it is the best edited paper in Northeast Nebraska. This is no boquet, either. Down in Olathe, Kansas, at a mass meeting of the citizens, the disclosure that ex-Governor John P. St. John (pronounced Sinjin) bad signed a whiskey seller's petition for a license, created a racket that for a time threatened to become a riot. The efforts of Mr. Sinjin, otherwise “St John,” to explain away his sin were fruitless, and the W. 0. T. U. and the prohibs cast him forth into outer darkness. Towards the latter end of the meeting no less than three orators were constantly speak ing at once. It is estimated that the victim was. asked questions at the rate of thirty per second, and of course he was downed.—State Jour nal It is a matter of public comment all over the country that, notwith standing Senator Windy V. Allen several days ago attacked Tom Reed, the czar of the honse, in a fierce and furions manner on the floor of his own barnyard, and told the entire country that he was “responsible for his statements there and elsewhere and at any time,” he is still wandering at large with his nose unsmashed. Is it possible that Mr. Reed has not yet heard of the defiance of this re nowned defier? Or doesn’t Tom care a cuss? What are the rules of etiquette when a bantam crows through the pioket fence at a game cock?—State Journal. «<e« ■ - To a has up a tree the recent “expert” examination of the books in the county treasurer’s office by State Examiner ArChard has a sing ular look, and bears a marked resemblence to the work of the pop investigating committees that have tried to make out that every repub lican official in the state was a defaulter. The most surprising feature of his report is, that F. G. Russell, republican, handled $90, 000 in the four years he was in office and that his eCthmissions were only $1378, while B. L. Chambers, populist, handled $14,000 in the two years he was in office and his commissions amounted to $1185, or within $188 as much as Russell got If you doubt this statement go to the clerk’s office and look at Arch erd’s report end you will probably agree with us that what is new needed is an expert that has no political bias.—Butte Gazette. Psora throughout Nebraska will regret that ’Gene Moore has escaped the penitentiary on a technicality. He got away with about $26,000, money paid to him by the insurance • companies doing business in the state, and he should suffer for his crime. As the charge of embezzle ment of state funds could not be made to stick, there is probably some other charge upon which he can be arraigned before the bar oi justice and made to do time for hie illegal and oorropt practices. We are not a student of Blackstone noi do we pretend to know much about law, but we believe that if he were '§■’ charged and tried with obtaining money under false pretenses il §g.: would about hit his case. But ij the law is such that he caunol again be tried for the offense il should be changed. Law is sup posed to mete out justice and if it is so that a criminal can escape the consequences of his acts through a loop hole or apparent flaw, that defect should be remedied. It is only the criminal who seeks the technical points in law and we believe that if they were eliminated the wrong doer would be more apt to receive his just deserts. ABOUT PROSPERITY. An esteemed correspondent re garding the Northwestern Catholic as a purveyor of national prosperity, writes the following inquiries: “Where now is your prosperity? Where are the good times that you have been predicting? Is not all this talk about good times a will-o the wisp and a delusion ? If times have improved where is the evidence and who are the beneficiaries?” Some men an so constituted that they can see a fly on# barn door at the distance of a mile, but they can not see the barn; and there are others so disposed that they could not admit the existence of dAy in the light of the noonday sun. There were men among the crews of Columbus who wanted to turn back, after they had seen the land birds perching on the vessels and could smell the oders of the orange groves of San Domingo. Good times and bad times are relative terms. Times may be bad in some localities and good in others. With some men times are always good, and with others they are always bad. Whether the country is prosperous or ornerwise cannot do determined by the existing conditions in a par ticular family or a certain locality; but the evidence of increasing activ ity in industry and trade is too pal pable to be talked down or denied. For 1807 bank clearings show a gain of 88,000,000, or about 12 per oent. over 1807, with the volume of clearings at present advancing at still greater rate. Tv' hundred railroads, representing 150,000 miles of track, report for 1807 increased earnings of nearly 860,000,000 over 1806, and in the same period only eighteen roads, representing 1,550 miles of track, went into the hands of receivers, against thirty-four roads, representing 5,500 miles of track, for the preoeeding year. There were not only 2,000 less commercial failures in 1807 than in 1806, but the aggregate liabilities were 800,. 000,000 less. The total output of pig iron last year, although the largest on record for this country, promises to be exceeded during the current year, while the demand, both at home and abroad, for steel rails, locomotives and other finished products is steadily widening. The single weak spot in our industrial system today is the cotton industry of New England; but the cotton mills of the south are running on full time. Nor can the American farmer reasonably complain. He received for his breadstnffs in 1807 double the money he received in 1804 or 1005, and nearly 50 per cent more than he received in 1806. The value of breadstnffs exported from the United States in 1804 was $121, 123,377; in 1805, $121,571,555; in 1806, $177,278,405; in 1807, $243, 121,108. In nearly all other articles of farm produce the exportations for 1807 were far beyond those of pre ceding years in value, and the prioes generally higher. Whether with a sound and honest system of bimetalism the country would not be st'll more prosperous is an open question upon which good, intelligent and patriotic men may honestly differ; and whether our present system of protective tariff helps or hinders prosperity is also debatable. But that the con dition of this country has vastly improved over the condition of one, two or four years ago, there can be no question. That the country is at last fairly prosperous is a fact, thank God. Let those who will trace this blessed condition to human causes at their leisure. For Our part we will take it for granted that bounteous crops and big prices are the dispensations of God’B grace and mercy, and are accordingly thankful and gratified.—North western Catholic. tab daUt ITORXA. fin Kind You Haw Always Bought iita •I Priceless Pain “ U a prtsc « be placed om psiu, • lMktr’i Frieud’is worth its weight in geld a* an allevi ator.

Thus writes Henderaon Dale, Druggist, ef Csrmi, 111., to the Bradfield Regulator Company, of Atlanta, Ga., the propris t*rs ana manufacturers of “ Mother’s Friend.” This successful remedy is not one of the many internal medicines ad vertised to do unreasonable things, but s scientifically prepared liniment especially effective in adding strength aad elasticity to those parts of woman’s organism which bear the severest strains of childbirth.. The liniment may be naed at any and all times during pregnancy up to the very hour of confinement-. The earlier it is begun, and the longer used, the more perfect will be the result, but it has been used during the last month only with great benefit and success. It not only shortens labor and lessens the pain attending it, but greatly dimin ishes tbs danger to life of both mother and child, and leaves the mother in s con dition more favorable to speedy recovery. 4 ‘ Mother’s Friend ’ ’ is sold by druggists st $1.00, or sent by express on receipt of price.

This shows that the druggists themselves regard Scott's Emulsion of God-Liver Oil with Hypophos phHes of Lime and Seda as the standard, and the purchaser who desires to procure the “standard* because he knows it has been of untold benefit, should not for one instant think of taking the risk of l using some untried prep** r ratio*.
