Cozad 'Tribune: The withdrawal of Norris Brown apparently leaves the contest between Wilcox, of North Platte, Curry, of Broken Bow, and Judge Kinkuid, of O’Neill. The famous or infamous Drey fus case which has ngitated France the past year has culminated in a retrial for the unfortunate man nnd he is to be taken back to his native land. Dreyfus was made a scape goat for a set of scoundrels and the French government is in a measure wiping out the gross indignity by granting a retrial. The Frontier has all along be lievod that fusion would live out another campaign, but the drift of men and events in recent times in dicatos that fusion and silver are to be buried in one common grave; that patriots everywhere are rally ing under the aogis of prosperity aud good money, shoutiug loyalty to the count ry and success to republi cans in Nebraska. ------— The Holt County Independent last week started out on its eighth year. The Independent lias much improved, ns a newspaper, of recent months. In fact, in that regard it is the best now it ever has been/ While Tho Frontier has no use for the Independent’s politics, and will continue to rebuke its bad breaks, we are glad to note tho success it attains as a newspaper. — The Frontier’s advocacy of a sys tem that will put to work the chaps who visit our city and make a bnsi ness of stealing, is bearing fruit, the esteemed Independent to the con trary notwithstanding. The city attorney has been instructed by the council to prepare an ordinance compelling snch chaps to work out their fines on the streets. This is the proper thing. Let it be rigidly enforced. -- Tho State Journal observes that the erectiou of a ten million dollar residence in Now York city by the new popocratic senator from Mon tana has escaped the eagle eyes of the reform patriots and none of them have so far adequately de nounced the crime. But doubtless the Montana copper king and six teen to wanner wnuts to be con viently located where ho can attend the dollar Jeffersonian banquets of the brotherhood without too much expense m railroad fares. ■, The Opinion, Lincoln: Attorney Goneral Smith is again invited to collect that $13,000 from the de faulting popocratic treasurer of Platte county. The delay of two years has allowed the Platte county financier and money saver to get safely out of the state, but the bondsmen are still in sight. The question naturally arises, has J. W. Lynch been protected simply be cause Saunders and Sullivan and Jewel and D. D. Lynch and a lot of other fusion pie counter statesmen are from the same county ? Would it be humiliating to prosecute a mumber of this coterie of reformers? ANOTHER POP FAKE. True to the partisan principles which control the leaders of popu lism in this district, a bugaboo is being made of a decision rendered in Judge Kinkaid’s court a few weeks ago in a case wherein one Martha E. Fay sued the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy railroad company- for $5,000 damage for the death of her husband. A peculiarly befuddled statement of the case and trial was put out by the Rushville Stnudard and copied by the Inde pendent. Tho facta in the cnso are that Fay, a car repairer of tho Chicago, linr~ liugtou and Quincy, and husband of the plaintiff, while repairing a car at a gravel pit in Dawes county, was killed by another car that had been left on the spur track running into the car he wus repairing. To hold tho defendant liable the law requires that it shall he shown to be guilty of negligence, and tho deceased per sou himself free from negligence. In this case not tho slightest proof of negligence on the part of the de fendant was present* d, but the defendant showed by tho testimony of numerous uucontradicted wit nesses that neither the company nor its employees had been negligent. But it was shown that deceased’s death was caused by his own negli gence. Tho custom and rules of the company required him to place a due flag on each end of tho car, ns a warning, when ho went beneath to repair it. This ho did not do. Ho did not toll tho other employees of the company near him that he was going under the car. He did not block tho cars to koop them from moving, with the blocks furnished him by the company for that pur pose. This was uncontradicted by the plaintiff and left nothing for a jury to decide. Tho deceased was >o grossly negligent thnt Ins conduct, culminating us it did, amounted only to a degree less than suicide, nud the law would no more hold the defendant liable in damages than if tho deceased had in fact committed suicide. Judge Iviukain’s action in not submitting the case to the jury was a plain duty, in entire harmony with tho evidence and in accord with holdings of the supreme court. The decisions of tho supreme court fail to show that Judge Kin kaid has in a single instance in a case against a railroad company erred on a question of law. The decisions of the supreme court do not show that he has over erred in any way in favor of a railroad com pany as against an individual. But tho decisions do show that any errors adjudged against him have been in favor of the individuals by allowing the verdicts of juries to stand for excess damages against the railroads. We cite a few such: A case tried in O’Neill agninst the F. E., for per sonal injuries, in which Judge Kin kaid gave judgment for $2,050, tho supremo court reduced to $1,200; a case tried in Brown county, against the same company, tho judge ren dered judgment for $0,000 and was reduced by the supremo court to $1,300; and in a case tried at Chad ron an individual was given judg ment for $5,000 against a Burling ton and Missouri construction com pany, but the supreme court held that the evidence did not justify judgment in any amount. The opinions justifying the reductions in the two cases first mentioned were iudited by the populist supreme court commissioner. In answer to the charge of dis courtesy to one of the plaintiff’s attorneys, we quote from an able article from the Rushville Recorder, which, by the way, shows up the whole fake: “Heath says Judge Kinkaid treated Judge Patterson discourteously in the Fay case. This is ou a level with every other statement ho has made about the case. Whoever heard of Judge Kinkaid being discourteous to any body? Let the man rise up and be known who can say that Judge Kin kaid has ever been diccourteous to him! Wo are willing to leave the question to Judge Patterson him self, and are confident that he will say that the judge has treated him courteously, not only in this case, but always and everywhere.” The Frontier has further and positive proof that the charge of discourtesy is a base slander agaiust Judgo Kinkaid. The decision in the Fay case was given with the express understand ing that the case would go to the supreme court. Now, gentlemen, let the supreme court say the judge erred in favor of the railroad (which the supreme court has to do for the first time) and then you can toot your horns. A Narrow Escape.
