Atkinson Plain-Dealer: The small
pox scare at the county seat seems
to be developing into a general
stampede and with cause. Three
new cases have lately developed and
more are expected.
When other people lose their
mental equilibrium newspaper men
are expected to maintain their bal
ance—unless it be those of the
yellow order, of which the Plain
Dealer evidently is one. It seems
to be the especial pleasure of the
Atkinson sheet to create a false im
pression about the so called “small
pox scare at O’Neill.” And yet it
only reflects a spirit that has long
prevaded our envious neighbors.
There are many intelligent and
sensible people in Atkinson but un
fortunately their newspaper reflects
the other element. The above little
item and several others of similar
import that, appeared in last week’s
Plain-Dealer so far from represents
the facts that The Frontier foels it
its duty to refute the statement.
We have repeatedly stated that
there is no smallpox in O’Neill.
The forty or more cases which are
said to have developed a “general
stampede” consists of the two O’
Donnell boys four miles southwest
aud one case reported between
O’Neill and Emmett; and these are
not considered of a type to cause
alarm. There is, therefore, no more
dunger of getting smallpox in O’
Neill than there is in Atkinson. But
there is method in their madness at
Atkinson—the method of the swine.
By exciting fear among the country
people they hope to draw trade
from O’Neill that otherwise they
never would get. The Frontier
desires to state to its readers upon
well grounded authority aud from
its own investigations that while
precautions have been taken against
an outbreak of this disease in the
city, there is no more danger from
this source at the present time than
there ever has been.
For patronizing the newspaper
trust the Independent offers this
apology:
Q’Tis true. It is likewise true that
our contemporary is in turn bled by
the Western Newspaper Union, an
other limb of the newspaper trust. It
is also true that every man who
spends money for goods in any line
pays from 10 to 200 per cent to the
trust. The only reason that Cronin
can have for chuckling over this con
dition is the fact that he gets $4.50
per day from Uncle Sam to square
his account while the rest of ns have
to stand the filchings of the trusts
without recompense.
The heterogeneous architect who
presides at the cellar sanctum here
by doubly entitles himself to that
hypocracy which burdens villainy
while waving reform’s banner. His
newspaper bears the braud of the
Sioux City Newspaper Union, a side
issue of the Chicago house which
controls the patent output of two
thirds of the weeklies in the country
and has froze out every anti-trust
concern heretofore started. By these
roguish words the Independent edi
tor expects to fool reformers and
hold himself up as a bleeding
specimen of trust assassination.
But the fact of the matter is, Eves,
like Bryan, is patronizing the news
paper trust because he can get his
papers cheaper that way than he
can of the Country Publishers’ house
at Omuha, which has been the only
successful combatant of the trust,
and which is doing more to break
the back of that monopoly than all
the fine theories of Deformer Eves
will ever accomplish. Whatever
was the thought of the founders of
the so-called reform movement,
whatever their aim and whatever the
principle involved, there is nothing
inticing to honest men to company
with the Pharisees and Saducees in
the temple of hypocracy where
priests ne’er blush to abominations
done nor from high heaven refrain
their tongnes blasphemous. Re
former Eves is invited to come off
the dump.

Reformer Towne.
New York Tribune: It is singular
how soon some men are able to forget.
It was less than a year ago when
Charles A. Towne, of Minnesota,
was convinced that his countrymen
were confronted with dangers
enough to make one’s hair stand on
end. Between showing the people
how to dodge octopuses and striving
to keep the government from build
ing forts near all the large cities for
the intimidation of citizens Mr.
Towne had little time to devote to
other pursuits. He was deeply de
pressed over expiring liberty, and
he breathed out his distress from so
many platforms that he came near
winning the record away from Mr.
Bryan. Towne was one of the head
yearners for the salvation of the
masses through the medium of a
dishonest dollar, and for the glori
tiation of his country through the
“scuttle” policy.
And now, in this short space, Mr.
Towne has forgotten that liberty is
expiring, has turned his back upon
the struggling masses who depend
upou him to get their wages paid
for them in lifty-cent dollars, has
ceased to try to hold the crumbling
constitution together, and has in
fact, gone off arm in arm with the
octopus. Nor is this all. Mr.
Towne has not been content to work
his own downfall, but he has carried
others down with him. Mr. Towne
has paid $25,000 for an oil land
tract in Tezas, and with him has
associated Governor Benton McMili
an of Tennessee and ex Governor
Hogg of Texas in a $5,000,000 com
pany. It is hard to believe these
things of McMillan and Hogg; but,
after this news about Towne, we
suppose that we may believe any
thing.
How They Divided.
(San Francisco Argonaut.)
In the recent supreme court deci
sion concering the island possessions,
the way the justices divide is interes
ting. They did not divide on politi
cal Hues. Classified politically they
were thus arrayed:
For the administration:
Justice Horace Gray (republican,
Massachusetts).
Justico Henry Dillings Brown (re
publican, Michigan).
Justice George Shiras (republican,
Pennsylvania).
Justioe Edward Douglas White
(democrat, Louisiana).
Justice Joseph McKenna (republi
can Califonia).
Against the administration:
Chief Justice Melville Weston
Fuller (democrat, Illionis).
Justice John Marshall Harlan (re
publican, Keutuckey).
Justice David Josiah Brewer (re
publican, Kansas).
Justice Rufus W. Peckham (dem
ocrat, New York).
Divided as they were on piouts of
law, the court was almost unanimous
in one thing—in condemning the
main argument of ex-Attorney Gen
eral Griggs, that “the power of con
gress over all the territories is not
restricted by the constitution.
Against Mr. Griggs’ argument the
court stood 8 to 1, and Justice Brown
was the only one who sided with the
luckless Griggs. Chief Justice
Fuller, with J ustices Brewer, Harlan
and Peckham, held that Porto Rico
is a part of the United States, and
that the constitutional rule of un
iformity in taxation applies to it.
Justice White, on the other hand,
held that Porto Rico is not a part
of the United States, but that if it
were, the constitutional rule would
apply. Justices Gray, McKenna and
Shiras sided with him. Five justices
upheld the power of congress over
the territories, but one of the five—
Justice Brown—-arrives at his con
clusions by reasoning which Juctices
White, Shiras and McKenna pro
nounced to be unsound,though these
three concuned in his findings.
Justice Gray concurred for different
reasons. Chief Justice Fuller and
the minority denounced the court’s
opinion in such strong and bitter
terms as have never been known to
figure in the records of the court
before.
Without the tilling of soil, sowing
of seed or costing the mind of man
a thought, Nebraska prairies are
silontly bringing forth oceans of
grass that is going to furnish beef
steak for the eastern appetite and
bring millions of dollars into the
state.
President McKinley’s steadfast
refusal of a third term drops like a
thunderbolt upon the ears of the
fusionists who declare the president
has been crowned emperor.
--
The increase per capita of the
circulating coin and currency is
about $15, with a per capita de
crease in populist voters at about
the same ratio.
- --
The wide spread interest in flag
day is auother token of the error of
their way of those who talk of
American patriotism being a thing
of the past.
Better re clothe an old thought
than think up an evil one.
THE COUNTY PRESS.
Stuart Ledger:
Every day important real estate
transfers are being made. Through
the agency of Fred Barclay, the
Brockman ranch, containing 2,100
acres, was sold to W. T. Preston and
Herbert Preston, of Dunlap, Iewa.
Mr. Preston is a wealthy stockman
and a banker, who is not afraid to
invest money in Holt county land.
The Brockmans will give possession
some time in September.
Stuart Herald:
M. W. Flannigan purchased 1,000
Lead of Texas cattle which arrived
here Thursday night. This is one
of the largest shipments of cattle
ever brought to this country and
speuks highlyof the opioion which
Mr. Flanuigan holds Holt. The
bunch consists of yeurliugs and are
of a good grade of range cattle.
Thomas Stanton showed us a
bunch of broom grass which grew on
his farm, which measured 37 inches
in height. This grass is a new
venture in Holt, being recently im
ported from Russia. Mr. Stanton
has two acres of it planted and says
it will yield from live to seven tons
per acre. He is very enthusiastic
over it and clamis it is far ahead of
alfalfa or timothy. He intends to
plant his place over with it next fall.
Atkinson Plain Dealer.
This (Thursday) morning ns he
was driving the cattle out onto the
range at his father’s ranch on the
Sandy about sixteen miles northwest
of here, James Robinson and the
pony which he rode, were struck by
lightning aDd instantly killed. His
father, who lives here, but was at
the ranch at the time, did not find
his sou until nearly noon. Under
taker Coats, of Stuart, was sent for
and prepared the body for burial,
and it was bro’t home Thursday
night. A short funeral service will
be held at the house in the morning
and the remains will be shipped to
the old Sac county home for burial.
The death of James Robinson, and
the manner in which he met it, cast
quite a gloom over the entire com
munity where he was well known
and had a host of friends. We join
the many friends of the grief
stricken family in extending sym
pathy to them in their great bereave
ment
