The Frontier. rUBLISIISI) lVERY THURSPAY BY TrtE FRONTIER PRINTING COMPANY I». H. CRONIN, Editor. HO MAINE SACNDEKS. Associate._ WORSE THAN IDIOTCY. Two issues ustoru The Frontier gave expression to the following, in conjunction with a news item rel ative to a prisoner escaping from the county jail: If our estoemed contemporary will permit the “immoral” suggestion The Frontier would advocate that law, ordinance or rules of the county board roach out and haul these fel lows onto the streets or other public works and make them labor in place of lying on upholstered cushions in the county castle and growing cor pulent on public feed. Last week the Independent un dertook a comment, and here is the output: Most assuredly the Independent will permit the paretic old Frontier to make auy sort of "suggestion” that it desires. Suggestions do not hurt anyone and they frequently ex poso the woeful ignorance of the suggester. This is true in this in stance. Sheriff Stewart had no more authority of law to make the prison er Miller work on the streets than he has to command tho editor of The Frontier to climb the standpipe. Miller had been convicted of noth ihg. llo was simply lying in jail in default of bail awaiting a trial before the district court. Tho law presumes that a man is innocent until he has been convicted. In tho eyes of the law Miller was an innocent man. There is no law by which an inno cent man may be compelled to work and tho sheriff would exceed his anthority should ho attempt any thing of the kind. When The ' Frontier asays to be serious it is always so silly and ridiculous that it makos people laugh. As an effort to mislead, create prejudice and commit injustice the ostoemed Independent enters the van guard of victory by this vory moesy product. As the public reads the two excerpts above it sees the utter nbsence of connection and pities the distressing darkness of the Inde pendent. A fool is not wise, but he can understand The Frontier made no claims that Sheriff Stewart did more or less than his duty. Anybody but the Independent under stands Tho Frontier referred to the existing system of handling crimin als. The shoriff did his lawful duty. The law fails in its duty to society. Bands of vags ply their pestiferious trade among honest folk, who must either feed and lodge them or suffer depredation. They are the hardest class of criminals to deal with. Stealing is their business. They are leeohos on the public. The Frontier believes the only successful way to handle them is to put them to work and to this end the law should be regulated. Thirty days in jail ouly fits them for further operations. The Independent may contend that Miller was innocent, but it will havo a hard time convinc iug the Atkiusou clerk who gave Miller a chase and got a squint down tho barrel of his gun. The matter of guilt or iunoconce of these chaps inspires no serious thought and the safety of persou and property die tates that they be handled without gloves. The Frontier doseu’t mind an intelligent discussion, but the rot from the rub-a dub-dub in the cel lar gags us. Meanwhile, ta! ta! TO PROB TRUSTS. Sioux City Times: The proposed oivio federation coaferance to con aider the trust problem may do some good work iu the oourse of education if its deliberations are honestly con ducted. There is yet much to be leaiued about the good and bud effects of the great industrial com binations that are now dominating the business of the country. The subject is one that will bear much stndy and investigation. The trouble with most of the fer vid utterances bearing on trust that have been presented is that they are made for political effect and are de livered off hand, and are inspired by either prejudice or favor. That is $T* not the proper spirit in which to in vestigate or expound so important a - proposition. Like every other great h ONE COUNTRY, ONE FLAG. \\ Adopted by ex-confederate soldiers at their re-union held :: J at Charleston last week: Resolved, That we rejoice with H :| our brethern throughout the union that the sectional discord ii ~i of other days is ended, and that we are a re-united people, == :: with one country and one flag.

Both should de weighed carefully and unbiasodly by the public before attempting to reach a verdict. It is unfortunate that ono of the political partios is seeking to draw the problem into politics in its pri mary stngo of public knowledge. It should not be a political issue at all. Certainly it ought not bo allowed to take that direction until the linos of public opinion have had a fair op portunity to difine themselves. If the proposed conference will approach the subject in tho spirit of honest investigation, and with a straightforward iutent to get at the truth, the deliberations may be of great value to the business world. If, on tho other hand, it is carried out on partisan lines, with efforts to “pack tho caucus” and unduly in fluence the deliberations in one di ruction or the other, the time and] effort expended will bo worse than wasted. PAY THE CUBANS. Threo millions of dollars have been advanced by the United Statos government to bo distributed among tho Cuban soldiers. It is a worthy cause. The spectacle presented by the entorance of the Cuban nrmy into Havanna some months ngo would sadden tho heart of any man. Little boys from eight to ten years of age—boys just entering on the career of human action, but on whose slender shoulders rested the sombre destiny of home and country; old men with furrowed brows and whit ened hair, whose febblo frames and war scared limbs would soon bo at rest beneath tho blood-drenched sod on that troubled island; young and middle aged men, clad in cloth rent from sacks or whatever could be found, hungry and nearly naked— it was a scene which vibrated every sympathetic chord throbbing in the broast of man. There was patriotism —love of homo and froedora which endured not alone the roar of battle, but struggled with hardships more terrible than death. Yes, pay the Cuban soldiers; and pay them well. Let oratory thrill with words of eulogy and let tho Cuban soldier have a shining page on history’s immortal scroll. -- ALMOST PERSUADED. Pender Republic: Wo acknowl edge a very pleasant call on Tuesday by the newly elected president of tho Northeast Nebraska Press associa tion, D. H. Cronin of the O’Neill Frontier, who came to Pender after the press meeting at Way no to visit his brother editor, Murray of the Times. Hi-t republican impress wns strongly stamped on tho latter and we believe if ho could havo spent a day or two longer with tho Times editor he would have been constrain ed to leave confusionism and joined tho ranks of prosperity bringers. The Worlil-Herald wipes out the good name it had attained among Nebraska soldiers by one fell swoop. It slanders the Third regiment by reporting that the regiment hissed Secretary Alger. The boys of the Third Nebraska received the head of the war department liko soldiers and bravo men. They were not a regiment of ruffians, who regard net the station of a man if not the mau. Of the eighteen free silver men belonging to Company M, sixteen returned home republicans. The boys found that the American dollar in Cuba was worth 30 cents more than the big Spanish dollar. Mr. Bryan should have accompanied the regiment and received a few practi cal lessons in finance. We don’t know what the esteemed Independent means by “2x2 repub licau editors,” unless they are “too many” for it. J It is a poor religion thut sanctions a lie. Tbo Mormons of Utah pledg ed to abaudon polymagy when ad mitted to statehood. Polygamy is carried on their to as great a degree as over with threats that the assasin ating “blood atonement” will bo re vived. Mormonism, and Utah if need be, shonld be wiped off the mnp. -- The World-Herald says the Third Nebraska boys received Bryan at Omaha Sunday in open arms and boro him in triumph above the throng. Soldiers who were with the regiment at Omaha say they did not see Mr. Bryan. -►-.#*-. Tbo First Nebraska will be mus tered out at once and returned homo. Other volunteer regiments I will soon follow. And so ends the | Philippine war as it begun with Aguinaldo badly licked. The St. Louis Mirror calls upon democrats to stay by the Chicago platform, while democrats are on the verge of denouncing all and coming out on a new structure. Daring the last year the Ame-iican Bible society issued 1,380,892 copies of the bible, which book Iugersoll says is a lie. It has a healthier growth than most lies. Happily for Admiral Dewey he is really a great man, else the ridicu lous American people would make a monkey of him. -- Whooping Cough I had a little hoy who was nearly dead from an attack of whooping cough. My neighbors recomended Chamberlain’s Gough Remedy. I did not think that any medicine would htslp him,but nfter giving him a few doses of that remedy l noticed an imbrovment, and one bottle cured him entirely.
