the Frontier. PUBLISHED KVKItT THURSDAY BY PH* FROSTIER PRINTING COMPANY D. H. CRONIN, Editor. ROMA1NE SAUNDERS, Associate. Andrew Carnegie has given seventy millions of Lis accumulations to educational and cbaratable institu tions. — A half-truth is as bad as a whole lie. A failure to state all the facts is a characteristic of populist argu ment -- The only advice The Frontier has to offer to any one looking for a kicking machine that will “laud them in prosperity in less than thirty days” is to peel their coat, roll up their sleeves and wade in to work. Pros perity is not dropping into the lap of people who sit in rocking chairs. -- The game law passed by the state legislature prohibits shipping birds and limits the number to'be killed by one person at one time to fifteen. By this law birds are also “ripe” a '/j month earlier than before. Any one / found with more than fifteen ehick 7 ens in their sack are subjest to a ' line. The Frontier learns through a perusal of some 200 Nebraska papers that there is a general boom in real estate and that almost every town in the state is partaking of a building v boom to a greater or less degree. This is a good indication and the result of the prosperity of the people /^throughout the state. . i -— r The Frontier: Mrs. McKinley wore a cream satin gown at the , inaugural ball, explaining that she ' preferred a nice lace, but the lacej would have had to have been im ' ‘ 'ported and she did not want to wear 'foroign made goods. That’s Ameri canism. Ewing Advooate: Mr. McKinley draws his salary front funds paid ■; into the national treasury as taxes •’on imported goods, and assuming ’.that he supports his wife, some of .{this money was used to buy the {dresa which Mrs. MoKinley wore to {the inaugural dance. if Exactly. The foreigner conlri ' bated the money to the American '■{manufacturer that made Mrs. MoKin .{ley’s gown. A case of the foreigner -y paying the tax, yon know. i / Independent: The Frontier, ** under the oaption of “Harrison on the Back,” endorsed two colmuns of 1 abuse aimed at the ex-president by a dozen or more republican papers 'after Harrison’s great Bpeaoh at Ann Arbor university. >7 (The Independent long ago showed ^ tits hardihood for malicious straddle, v but we prefer to believe the above is only an exlubition of the service of a'very bad memory. The “two col , umns” referred to embraced a half ! column of sober oomment and com mendation from four notional news papers, respectively as follows: New York Sun, republican; Chicago 'Chronicle, democrat; Minneapolis 'Times, independent; Indianapolis Press, independent The next time the esteemed Independent wishes to refer to something that appeared in The Frontier, its editor had better come over and oonsult our files and avoid the embarrassment of making himself out an ass before the public. --- ' Says a prominent broker: “The railway statements become monoton ous in their regularity of increases, -put they sustain and stimulate the bonfidenoe which is again bringing a broadening public interest for in pestment securities.” As reading (natter, such statements do undoubt edly possess a certain monotony, perhaps, also, the increased earnings possess a certain monotony for shareholders, but it is monotony along a line in which, without doubt they are willing to see the monotony •N continued. Once before, in 1802, when monotony of this kind was somewhat in evidence in this country the voters of the country tried a “change.” After their experi mce of'the change which came in with Cleveland and Free Trade was almost Universal agreement that the monotohy of abundance of work at high wages for the workingmen, which was assured under a Protective Tariff, was monotony of a sort which the country rather enjoyed. Ergo, tho Dingley law and present “mon otonous” prosperity. “When Theodore Roosevelt was a little boy he and a playmate used to walk together to a private school,” suys the March Ladies’ Home Journal. “Their way took them past a public school. One day young Teddy appeared in a new sailor suit. This was too much for the public school boys. To them the suit was the distinguishing mark of a ‘dude.’ The sueeriug crowd planted itself across the sidewalk. Teddy and his chum, seeing trouble ahead, came on with lists clonchod, and the battle began. A few minutes later the ‘dude’ and his companion went on their way some what less tidy than when they started but leaving behind them a tamed and lame bunch of sur prised boys. For a week there were daily lights with the same results. One morning after an especially hard battle, young Roosovelt said to his friend: ‘let’s go around the block and come back to tight 'em again.’ ” As Jong as the current of sentiment in the United States congress regard ing the claims upon China for alleged damages keeps on its present temp ered flood there will be no room for criticism. Whilo European powers show a disposition to exug erate their claims for damages our government is disposed to be fair and liberal. Missionaries seem to have departed from the idea that life is principally religion and taken up with the commercial tendencies of those in the secular walks when they demand a cool thirty million from China for the supposed sacrifice of sixty eight people at the hands of the Boxers and the distruction of manuscripts of flat, stale and un profitable sermons. The words of Senator Morgan express well the sentiment in congress. He says: “Of course, I suppose if this govern ment can get, say $:10,000,000 out of China, very few people in Con gress would vote to cut down the amount. It does not seem to me, however, that our damages can be placed at such a large sum. I am sure that there will be considerable crit icism about it in Congress, and I shall not hesitate to express my own opinion. It looks too much as if we were in the money-grabbing business of ether nations, and I have no sym pathy with it, just as I believe that the bloodthirsty policy of revenge which has been pursued in China ought not to be tolerated for a moment.” It is a sorry spectacle to see a body of disciples of the One who taught to turn to him the left cheek that smote thee on the right so angulfed in the flood of greed that even earthly governments can discern the injustice of their claims. J THE COUNTY PRESS j Atkinson Plain Dealer: Word was received at this place last Saturday from Tkomasville,Ga., that Charles J. Brook had died at that place from the effects of con sumption. The remains, accom panied by his wife aud daughter, arrived here Monday evening and the funeral was held Tuesday after noon. _ Chambers Bugle: A lodge of the Modern Brother hood of America will be instuted in the Dougherty Hall on Monday night We have to announce the death of Mrs. Pheasant, sister of James Massengale, which occurred the ISth instant, at her brother’s home.

Henry Perkins has rented his two farms, sold out a large part of his personal property and with his family started this morning for Meadow Grove, Neb. After pay ing a visit to their friends there for a short time, will leave for there old home in New York state. Mr. Per kins came here some six or eight years ago with but little of this world’s goods and in those few short years has, by dint of perseverance, been enabled to place himself and family in independent circumstances. He has nothing but words of praise for southern Holt. After completing his tour, he intends returning to his Holt county home. Ewing Advocate: Itohert E. French of Kearney, grand custodian of the Ancient Free and Accepty Masons of Ne baaska, arrived in Ewing Wednesday m truing and held a continuous day and evening, Wednesday and Thurs day, school of instructions for the benefit of the local Masonic lodge. Visitors from other lodges were J.J. King and A.B. Newoll of O’Neill,and R.E. Cbittick of Stuart. Someone went into the stockyards Wednesday night and stole five hogs belonging to VanZandt Bros. Teue Chace wants us to thank for him the one who stole the hogs for shutting the gate so as to not lot cattle out. Roll Bros, counted there hogs and found four or five missing. Just be fore we go to press Mr. VanZandt informs us that t.wo of the hogs wau dered into Mr. Mitchell’s place this morning from the west. Mr. Mitch ell shut them up and notified him. It is supposed that the parties drove them out west of town to load them and these two got away.
