While the enemy pretends to inake an argument of imperialism the only issue as a matter of fact yet presented is abuse of the MoKinley administration and exouse for Poyn ter’s mistakes. The Holt County Republican, launched at Atkinson about a year ago, has been merged into the Atkin i son Plain Dealer. The Republican was a good paper, ably edited, but the patronage was not sufficient to maintain a healthy existence. "" "■ »«•>».. ■■ The Frontier wishes to oommend . the eminent good sense of the repub lican county convention in the seleo | turn of Thomas Simonson as a can didate for representative. There is not a man in this section of Nebras ka who is more deserving of suoh honor. He is a pioneer of Holt 1 county, a iaan respected by every ^ body, a loyal republican and thoroughly capable. What is said > of Mr. Simonson may also be said of 'f his running mate, Mr. Gillmore of : Ewing. J _ . For that very potent reason, “for ’ Bryan’a sake,” Ham Kautzman of the Yankton Benson Light has ^ changed his mind respecting the brave announcement that he would not support the Bryan party if Towne was turned down at Kansas City. The Frontier understands. The Beacon Light, like our brave Independent, made a big bluff which it hasn’t the moral oourage to stand up to and hides behind that vain lie, “an honest man who has no political strings tied to him.” -»-•••-« The republican convention last Monday exercised good judgment in the selection of a ticket. The main thing in a local campaign is to have men on the ticket whom you are not ashamed of and who recommend themselves to the voters. With a good clean tioket such as we have and systematic work on behalf of the organization, the republicans not only have a show to materially re ducethat brutal populist majority but also to eleot its candidates. Independent: Oar esteemed con temporary down the street asks ns what we are going to do with Neville. We shall support Mr. Neville jnst as loyally as we have supported many other men who were not our first choice (or the nomination, and if The Frontier will trot out its smooth, wishy-washy, handshaking, weak kneed watery, Moses Peel’urn on any rostrum in the district we will guar antee that Wm. Neville will be glad to be present and discuss the issues of the day with him, and to let the people deo de who should be our next congressman. Sura The Independent would support the devil if he was on the populist ticket The Independent yesterday calls a man a thief and a liar and today says he is an honest man. The Independent denounced Neville as a populist and congres sional failure and now it says it had lied. The Independent is a jackall. It can neither lie nor tell the truth. i It will do whatever the pop ring mas ters da It makes a bold bluff at reforming reform while it is ready to endorse anything from a yellow dog to the devil. There may be some admiration for an honest reformer but this rank hypocrisy of the Inde pendent makes decent men weary. Faith In Americans. Hon. Charles N. Fowler of New Jersey, expressing his faith in the national life, thus eharaeterizes the American people: sit: -The American people stand for fair play and love justice. They Symbolize those immortal sentiments and sating virtues of the human raoe: Love, not hate. Concord, not discord, -’t Reason, not prejudice. ^ ~ Wisdom, not passion. Truth, not error. * Facts, not fiotion. Experience, not experiment Construction, not destruction. Law and order, not anarchy. : , Honor, not dishonor. ' On November 6 we will move grandly onward and upward, not backward and downward, and this nation will be saved through the in telligence, justice, and patriotism of the American people. -►«•*«- . The Trouble in Buffalo County State Journal: If all aooounts are true Governor Poynter has got his party into a most deplorable condi tion in Buffalo oounty. One mem ber of the legislature has declared himself to be a republican rather than further support fusionism. The other legislative member is a candi date for attorney general on the so cialist tioket, and is publishing a socialist paper which opposes the fusion tioket. Two prominent news papers in the county have bolted, and a couple of hundred populists iu the county are wearing mid-road badges. • ■ This serious defection is caused by the spoils system practiced by the fusion officials, and more direct ly by the interference of the govern or in the affairs of the industrial sohooL The promise of one job to four different men oould not but have a bad general effieot, as the time must oome when those outside would clamor for the scalps of those inside. This, as is natural, would finally lead to a clamor on the part of three out of the four for the soalp of the governor. The placing of absolutely bad men in minor positions at the school -added to the demoralization, and through various hooks and crooks the attendance of the school has been cut down to nearly one hun dred leas than it was years ago. The inner workings of the institution outraged the feelinga of the Buffalo county people. They felt that when the reform school got so bad that the wayward youth of the state could no longer be sent to it for fear of contamination, and the inmates fled from it as they would from a pesti lence. the condition was indeed seri ous. They wisely concluded to strike at the root of the evil, which 1 was the executive office, and it is said that the strokes are very vigor ous ones, with the chips falling in all directions. STATE PRES8 COMMENT. Norfolk Journal: When Senator Allen oomes to Nebraska to make a speech this fall, The Journal wants him to tell the merchants of this city why he refused to help them by vot ing to enlarge the powers of the in terstate commission. Auburn Poet: The fusion state central committee should add the following plank to their platform: “We view with alarm the middle of the road uprising against fusion re form. It means defeat to our be loved party and hunger to our office seekers and repudiation to our great pretense of reform.” Kearney Hub: The Lincoln Jour nal remarks that Dietrich buttons have been pretty well distributed and are being worn by thousands of Nebraska republicans. Whioh re minds The Hub that there has never been as great a demand for any cam paign button in this state as there has been for the Dietrich button. This indicates not only the confi dence that the people have in the man but also a revival of friendly in terest in the republican party in this State. York Times: A number of York oounty people who have been voting the populist ticket and who still claim to hold that faith declare their inten tion to vote for President MoKinley to perpetuate the present prosperity. The resolution is a wise one and in dicates very good judgment. If the good times are to be continued in full force and effect the president must have the oo-Operation of cong ress and it is necessary to elect mem bers of the house and senate who will be in acoord with his policy. Every such populist should not only vote for the republican electors but should also vote for Hon. John D. Pope for Congress. Do not forget that fact when the time comes to oast your ballot for national govern ment that will contioue the present prosperous conditions.

"I want both my upper and lower halls recarpeted,” was the remark Charles J. Jones of East Walnut Hills made to a well-known carpet man; "and I’m going to move out of the house until you flniBh the work! I’ll leave the choice and color to you! My wife is out of town, you see, and I want to surprise her upon her return. There Is only one condition to this bargain: I must ask you, as we are old friends, to give me a small figure in the carpet’’ “All right!’’ said the carpet man. And Charles Janes stayed away from home for two days, while the carpet man’s hirelings banged away with their hammers, and he hugged himself as he thought of the surprise that was in store for his wife when she returned. Last Thursday the carpet man called Jones up by tele phone and announced that the carpet was laid. "It’s dark green!’’ said the carpet man. "I’m glad of that!" an swered Jones. "And as small a figure as is consistent with the carpet!" roared the carpet man. “I’m gladder than ever!’’ said Jones. That evening he visited his home, and was satisfied that the carpet was a peach. The next morning he met the carpet man. “How much do I owe you?” Inquired Jones. "It is $98.65," said the carpet dealer. "What!" yelled Jones. "Where’s the small figure you and I agreed on?" "Why, on th’ border of th’ carpet!” said the amazed dealer. "It’s a morn in’ glory vine with pink an’ white flowers! You've got a bargain at that figure! ’’—Philadelphia Inquirer. WAQBB3 TO AVOID. Bats Hut Are Sue Thing* to One Side M Indie*ted Here. Bets to be avoided by those who are cock-sure they can do all things are those relating to athletic feats. It would seem that a good runner could easily give fifty yards in a hundred to a man who was doing the fifty by hopping on one leg. But few runners, If any, can afford to give that amount of start to any man who is at all strong on his legs. For the first five yards or so they go at practically the same pace, so that to run ninety-five yards while his opponent is hopping forty-five he has to go more than twice as fast, and it is a weak man in deed who cannot hop fifty yards in ten seconds. An ordinary wooden match is easily broken in the fingers, but al though there are many who will bet they can do it, none succeed in accom plishing the task if the match is laid across the nail of the middle finger of either hand and pressed upon the first and third fingers of that hand, despite its seeming so easy at first sight. No one can crush an egg placed length wise between his clasped hands—that is, if the egg be sound, and has the ordinary shell of a hen’s egg. It is safe to bet a man that he cannot get out of a chair without bending his body forward, or putting his feet un der it, if he is sitting on It, not at the edge of it. Another equally certain wager is that a man cannot stand at the side of a room with both his feet touching the wainscoting lengthwise. It is safe to diet any man, save one who is blind, that he cannot stand for five minutes without moving if he is blindfolded.—New York Times. About Thermometers. Of all liquids used In thermometers, mercury Is the mo3t useful, because it is easily obtained pure and because its expansion between—36 and 100 de grees centigrade 's regular, that is, proportional to the degree of heat. But for temperatures below—36 de grees centigrade (—32.8 Fahr.) the al cohol thermometers must be used, since mercury solidifies at—40 centi grade. The alcohol thermometer is especially used for low temperatures, for it does not Bolidlfy at the greatest known cold. It is as a rule reliable, but the law of expansion of alcohol in glass at low temperatures is not known with such precision as to make the lowest readings entirely trust worthy. This, of course, applies to the best thermometers, those in the manu facture of which the greatest precau tions have been taken. In making the cheap thermometers no such care is taken, and the result is that while two or more of them may agree at or about the freezing or the boiling points, which are the standards, there may be very wide divergences at intermediate temperatures or at temperatures be low freezing. When the exposition is Over, Although the Paris exposition is still unfinished, arrangements have al ready been made for its demolition. Was it sentiment or business which has intrusted this work to a foreigner? For the contract for dismantling the buildings has been bade with the Chi cago House Wrecking company, which took down the buildings after the great world’s fair at Chicago. It has been calculated that something like 75,000,000 feet of lumber will be avail able for sale after the close of the ex position, and it is probable that every foot of it will find a ready purchaser.— London Chronicle. Colombo* sad thn Bffg. Columbus, having promised to stand an egg on end, failed at the first trial, but he reversed the egg, and it bal anced perfectly. ‘‘Tell me, Chris," said King Ferdinand, “why did you turn the egg over?” "Because, your majesty, the chicken could not stand on its head." It is said that Columbus got the idea of discovering America from this Incident. But, of course, theories are not always what they are cracked up to be. THE REASON WHY 1 sell the J. I. Case and Morrison farm imple ments and the world-famed Plano harvesting machinery is because of their popularity. EVERY FARMER KNOWS That there goods are the best on the market. I have riding and walking plows, cultivators and listers, disc harrows, corn planters, end-gate seeders, and the lamous Daim hay goods, and in fact anything you may need in the line of farm implements. When a man wants the best buggy made he goes to.... and gets one of those fine Staver buggies. This is also true of wagons. I have the Milburn, Bushford and Bet tendorf?, an; size you want. I also desire to call attention to the Kaw feed grinders and the old reliable Freeman windmills, Cypress tanks, etc. When in need of anything in my line give me a call. I will save you money.
