The Frontier has Dietrich buttons for anybody that wants them. Doo Lang can be assured of one thing. When Governor Dietrioh is inaugurated, he will have to move. Tha esteemed Independent hasn’t jet screwed np sufficient courage to say any thing about the populist candidate fo: congress. ... It is a waste of time to compile oolumns of figures to prove prosper ity; people haven’t time to read them., Moreover, prosperity doesn’t have to be in black and white to be aeon.,, -. .<. , The occupation of Pekin can not be called a great aoheivement. While the oldest and most populous of na tions has been vanquished, yet it required the soldiery of the world to j accomplish it. , The democrats are insulted. Teddy Roosevelt pours it into them so hard and punotures the democratic sails so full of holes with his double action truth teller that the wind is knooked dear out of them.> The silver men of the mountains, who were ready to lynoh a republi can at sight in 1890, are about all McKinley men this year. That is the difference between a business man aud a partisan. I he World Herald contends that prosperity consists of republican im agination; that prices have advanced without a corresponding advance of whges for the worker. Admitting this to be true, which it is not, the ’?■ World-Herald must know that whereas the wage worker had no work at all now ho works every day; it must know, too, that during the democratic times the depression was not in the scale of wages paid, but the almost universal suspension of work in labor centers, so that y when work again started the wages and work started where they stopped. Where Is the Authority. Omaha Bee: Mr. Bryan’s solu tion of the Philippine problem is a protectorate by the United States over a government set np and ad ministered by the natives. He prom ises in case he is elected president that his first act would be to call congress together to take the neces sary steps leading up to the estab lishment of such a protectorate. Where is the authority for the United States to exercise the power of protectorate over the Philippines or any other country ? Mr. Bryan professes to be particu larly apprehensive that the constitu tion of the United States is about to be overthrown. He sets himself up as a great protector and defender of the constitution against its subver sion or violence. His principal charge against the administration of President McKinley is that the pres ident has been exercising authority not conferred upon him by the con stitution. But what clause in the constitution will empower a president to establish a protectorate over the Philippines? Where is the authority in that instrument that would authorize the president and congress acting to tegether to set up such a protector ate? The word "protectorate” does not occur iu the constitution of the United States. Search from the beginning to the end of that docu ment and not a reference to a pro tectorate can be discovered. Not only this, but in the history of the republic, from its birth down to the present time, not a single precedent can be found where the UnitedStates has embarked in the protectorate business. This government has ac quired new territory- in a variety of ways—by purchase, by treaty, by annexation and even by conquest— but it has never undertaken to vouch for the obligations of another coun try by means of a protectorate over it. If there is no provision for a pro tectorate to be found in the consti tution, where would Mr. Bryan get I his authority to carry out his Phil ippine program f Would not his proposed protectorate be a wilful violation of the constitution more flagrant than anything that has been oharged against President McKinly f If the constitution is in danger as Mr. Bryan contends, it is in danger from Mr. Bryan and his followers rather than from President McKin ley, who fought under the stars and strips to maintain the union and may be depended on to preserve the con stitution and hand it down intact to those who come after him. - • -.. «»» .' The fusion program, as officially announced in the Omaha popocratio organ, is to elect a state legislature | that will seoure the United States senatorial representation to the fusion feta. The populists already have a representative in the senate in the person of Senator Allen and should suoh a thing as a fusion state legislature be possible SenatorThurs ton would naturally be succeeded by j a democrat, of whom Editor Hitch cook of the World-Herald annonnces his desire to be whioh. In view of the fact that Mr. Bryan is to have the senatorship if it ever falls into the hands of the democrats, Mr. Hitchcock is evidently destined to bear the sting of ingratitude for some time to oome. The local popocratio organ is crowing like a bantam on a buffalo chip about the Bryan club challeng ing the republicans to debate. There was a Bryan club once before in O’Neill that got very anxious to de bate and they were aocomodated to their dismay and disgrace. The local Bryanites will probably get what they want before the campaign doses. Every decent American will resent the association of the name ol Bryan with that of Bressi. Bryan is politically wrong,.all wrong; bnl he is too mnch of a man to be an anarchist, or a sympathizer with the mnrderous devils of Italy, who arc the root and vine of anarchy. The only undoubted fact about fusion harmony in O’Neill day aftei tomorrow is that doubt exists. The modern democrat loves to quote Abe Lincoln. Be it known to the democrats that America’s great est president would not now if he were alive be engaged in a scheme to disfranchise the negros whom he emancipated. While the democratic party is struggling in labor pains to be de livered of its fungous hypothesis of Filipino citizenship it is disfran chising the American negro where ever that party is strong enough to mforce its imperial demands. The situation in China is assuming a more hopeful aspect. The armies of the allies reached Pekin, entered the city and possessed the legations with scarcely an effort by force. The imperial government is now very anxious to talk peace and has, through Li Hung Chang, applied to the United States for the appoint ment. of Minister Conger or some other American official with author ity to open negotion for fixing terms for the settlement of the present trouble. It is sincerely hoped that no time will be lost in making peace and that the greed of the powers will be moderate in fixing the terms. A GOLDENT* WITNESS. (From the Mining World.) The Globe-Democrat, noting that last year’s production of the Klon dike reaohed $10,000,000, and ad mitting that it was a goodly amount to come from Alaskan wastes, still says it falls a long way below the hundreds of millions a year promised by enthusiast promoters. At the same time we think that the Globe Democrat will admit that nowhere else could the same number of men go out into the wilderness, no matter what wilderness, and in a single season bring back $16,000,000, from a country where only a few months work can be done in a year, and where the rigers of climate are some thing fearful. That is an extra ordinary showing to make. This year there will be a new revelation when the thousands get to work in the sands which the sea has thrown upon the Alaskan coast, and the result will be something unheard of before in all the world’s history, and all the words of those who sneered at the foolish political expansion of buying Alaska will be laughed to scorn. -:-rr*-,**-rr—:—r— THE NORTH POLE. Ikm Parties Exploring Among Icebergs Par North. There have been three parties In the Held, or more correctly in the ice, dur ing the summer with the North Pole as tyelr objective point. The Duke of Arbruzzl, whose great work, "La Spe dliione dl S. A. R. 11 Duca degli Ar bruxsl al Monte Sant’ Elia” (Alaska), has just appeared, has planned after a winter spent in exploration in Franz Joseph Land to make a dash for the Pole from that group of islands. As by this route 500 miles, or 1,000 miles both ways, there and back, have to be made over ice and snow it is regarded by Arctic explorers as a most difficult and perilous undertaking. But as the Prince has possibly the best equipped party rt*ot ever attempted to reach the Pole and is, moreover, himself a man of splendid physique and indomitable will he may be successful. Cape Joseph Henry should be now, if none of his arrangements have miscarried, in Peary’s rear, and he should be well on his way across the ice beyond Lockwood and Brainard’s farthest north. Peary has spent three consec utive summers in preparing for tnls attempt Last year he devoted to es tablishing caches oi provisions as far north as Cape Joseph Henry, from which point he intended making his dash last spring. The Windward sailed In July on her third trip with supplies, equipped for a three years’ cruise, so that Peary can keep her as long aB he may deem it necessary. The Fram with Sverdrup was frozen in fifty miles south of Peary last year, and it is somewhat doubtful as to whether he has not given up the idea of attaining the pole. Robert E. Stein and party of two spent the winter in Ellesmere Land, near Cape Sabine, where he was left by the Peary relief steamer last summer. He expected to return this year, but as the Windward will prob ably remain north he vill have to be content to stay anff will most likely either make an * dependent attempt or join either Pei. / or Sverdrup.

GOME TO O'NEILL Consult Drs. Kinslow, the Osteopathic Physicians; or Write to Them From Your Homes. WHAT OSTEOPATHY IS. Perfect health can exist only when there is: 1. Peferect skeleton adjust ment. 2. Functional activity of all secreting glands. 3. Free and unob structed blood circulation. 4. Coordi nation of nerve force. When pain and disease are present, it can be stated as an axiom that there is somewhere an undue pressure. Oste opathy is the reduction, by mechanical manipulations, of such pressure. It is a scientific adjustment of abnormal con ditions, based on a thorough knowledge of the structure and functions of the organs of the body. It teaches that the delicate machinery of the body itself contains, or can elaborate, all the ele ments necessary to restore perfect equi librium, just as truly as such an exuilib rium is maintained in health. All the osteopath claims to do—all that any form of treatment can do—is to assist nature, I shall be glad to meet you if you are suffering, and will tell you more of our science. Osteopathy cures the following dis eases, many times after they have been pronounoed incurable: Rheumatism, paralysis, stomach and intestinal dis orders, (including catarrh of stomach or bowels, flatulency, dyspepsia, indigetion eonrtipation, diarrhea, dysentery, enter itis, piles) weak eyes, granulated lids, headache,insomonia, general exhaustion, nervous debility, irregularity of heart action, impaired circulation, pneumonia, pleurisy, asthma, bronchitis, torpid or enlarged liver, gall stones, incontinence urine, neuralgia, sciatica, spinal curva ture, sprains, dislocations, stiff joints, atrophied limbs, catarrh, enlarged ton sils, goitre and female diseases. Diseases of women readily yield to our rational treatment and very few cases are ever presented that are not permanently cared. If you can not conveniently call at one write me, stating your trouble, and I will give you candid advice; but if you can come to my offioe, a personal interview will be much more sasisfact ory. Consultation free. Careful diagnosis and concientions advise given in all cases. Office rooms over Frank Campbell’s store. Hoars; 9 to 12 a.m,, 1 to 5 p.m. Outside calls made upon request. We care not how many physicians have given you up—let us care you. Chronic diseases of long standing a specialty. DRS. KINSLOW, Osteopathic Physicians. O’Neill, Neb. Prophecy of Early Boomer*. Manasseh Cutler of Massachusetts In a circular in 1787 “booming" the set tlement which the New Englanders were about to plant on the Ohio at the mouth of the Muskingum,declared that "the current down the Ohio and the Mississippi* for produce and merchan dise of all sorts would one day “be more crowded than any other streams on earth." Story of a Slave. To be bound hand and foot for years by the chains of disease is the worse form of slavery. George D. Williams, of Manchester. Mich.,says: “My wife has been 60 helpless for five years that she could not turn over in bed alone. After using two bottles of Electric Bit ters she is wonderfully improved and able to do her own work.’’ This su preme remedy for female diseases quick ly cures nervousness, sleeplessness, mel ancholy, headache, backache, fainting, and dizzy spells. It is a godsend to guaranteed. Only 50o. Sold by Corrigan Bear Helped Himself. Fire In the Dismal swamp, Virgi nia, chased out wild animals, with which the swamp abounds. One big cinnamon bear, crazed by hunger and thirst, entered the yard of a farmer in Nansetnond county, drove the dog away and after drinking half a barrel of water made a meal of several fowls and then went away. It Helped Win Battles. Twenty-nine officers and men wrote from the front to say that for scratches, bruises, cuts, wounds, sore feet and stiff joints, Bucklen’s arnica salve is the best in the world. Same for burns, skin eruptions and piles. 25c. a box. Cure guaranteed. Sold by Corrigan, druggist Colnajr® of Gold Pieces. The United States never coined gold pieces of a higher denomination than $20. Some years ago a jeweler at San Francisco struck gold pieces of the value of $50, but that was on private account. Oddities of the Calendar. , January and October of the same year always begin with the same day. So do April and July, also September and December, February, March and November. _ Constipation, impaired digestion and a torpid liver, are the most common ail ments that are responsible for that tired, listless, fagged-out feeling that makes the summer a dreaded period to so many people. Herbine will cure constipation, it improves the digestior r ad arouses the liver to normal activity. Price, 50 cents.—Corrigan. THE REASON WHY ] 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.
