The Frontier. PUBLISHED EVERY THURSDAY BY THE FROSTIER PRINTING COMPANY D. H. CRONIN, Editor. ROMAINE SAUNDERS. Associate. Kentucky is a good plaae to stay away from and a good place to emmigrate from. --- Holt pops are avowed fusionists since election. Now is the dem ocrat’s opportunity. --- If serving no other purpese, tka Commoner provides editorial matter for the popocratie prose of Nebraska. -,e.<#» In Maine, hunters have been mis taking men for deer and twelve persons have been shot. Rather dear hunting. -«~4«e~+ Col. Bixby got rather the worst of it in his recent encounter with the feminine sufferagists. Woman will have her way no matter what the consequences. Treasurer Stueffer’s explanation does not exactly wnsli his robes of suspibion in connection with those bond deals. He should either un questionable clear himself or make room for another treasurer. -*~4#*~* The action of the lower house of the Georgia legislature in voting down a bill for the disfranchisement of negroes by a vote of 113 to 17 in dicates that the negro has a few friends left in the south yet. If, as the free silver fellows used to say, congress can legislate value into a commodity, it ought also possess the inherent power to legis late value out of a commodity. In this case no delay should be made importuning the national legislative body to reduce the price of potatoes. Secretary Hay .expressed a good sentiment at the New York Chamber of Commerce banquet when he said in a speech on “Our Diplomaov” that “the briefest expression of our rule of conduct is perhaps the Monroe Doctrine and the golden rulrt With this simple chart we can hardly go far wrong.” Which is so. --♦ -- Mr. Bryan is advising his disciples to form debating clubs in every precinot for the purpose of “educat ing” the people as to the calamity that awaits them at the hands of the republicans. Does Mr. Bryan esti mate the American voter as ouo who, in the midst of prosperity and plenty, will leave his corn held or work shop to listen to Bryan orators berate the best national adminis tration the country has had in twenty-live years? The Commoner: It is plain that there must be a large amount of educational work done if the country is to be saved from the evil results that must necessarily follow the con tinued support of republican polioies. If Mr. Bryan had said this four years ago the statement would not have appeared so laughable. With all of Mr. Bryan’s “educative” work the people continue in their “ignor ance,” voting the republican ticket and experiencing unprecedented, phenominal, prosperity. Sidney Republican: The Sixth congressional district, it would seem from the returns, will send a re publcan representative to Congress next time. We have quite a number of capable men in the district, and doubtless a munber of them will commence setting up pins. The natives will be astonished to learn of the number of patriots this dis trict can furnish, each one of whom will be found ready to immolate himself upon his country’s alter. This patrotism, however, has just taken possession of these worthies, and Hon. Moses P. Kinkaid was allowed a most complete monopoly of it during the last two congressional campaigns. We believe the district is yet under obligations to Mr. Kinkaid. \....1 i The Week's Commerce « J * r*»»»n»TW»rr*«»»f»»T«T »» * »»»»»*■ (DUNS REVIEW.) Never before in the history of the United States was there such great reason for a day of national thanks given. This country has made un precedented strides toward a position of international supremacy, not only in commerce but also in finance. To a marked degree business enterprises have proved successful. An idle wheel in mills or factories is the ex ception, whilelabar is so well ernplo ed at high wages that cousumtive demands sustain market values of all staple commodities. Transporting facilities have been unable to keep pace with the nation’s requirements, many complaining of tardy deliveries, which alone act as a brake on com mercial progress. I3y closing lake navigation, lower temperature will relieve the railway situation, thous ands of cars being restored to inland traflic. The same factor of season able weather stimulates retail deal ing, and prompt collections swell bank exchanges, which for the week were 3.0 per cent, larger than last your ut this city, and 35. 0 per cent, over 1800, while at other leading cities there were gains of 7.0 and 17.0 percent, respectively. Heavier payments through clearing houses are not due to speculation, as sales of stocks for the week were smaller than a year ago. Careful search disclose* few un favorable factors in the iron and steel situation. Probably the least ■atisfactory conditions are found at plate mills, which report an uneven distribution of orders. A few large concerns appear to secure the bulk of new business, but heavy order* for cars will largely expand the buy iug, while the new combination will put this class of mills on a stronger basis. In ruils there is no apparent limit to the orders placed, though •orne mills are unable to guarantee delivery within a year. Oue Pitts burg report places the year’s output of structural material at (51)0,000 tons. After six months of more or less intei ruption, all machine shops and kindred plants at San Francisco have fully resumed, and it is certain that the greatest force on record is now engaged in the various departments of iron and steel making. Haw material at the South has ad vanced, but at central points pig iron is steady, though rapidly absorbed. On account of vigorous domestic consumption there is little thought of exports, except of the more expensive tiuishod products, though the movement of wire to Australia is unchecked. Eastern footwear manufacturers are now generally insisting on small advance when new contracts are placed, but large jobbers resist the upward tendency, and the continued strength of leather will necessitate depreciation of qualit y if higher prices are not paid. Despite the increase of factories at the interior, heavy contracts have been placed in New Englaud during the past week by western buyers. Conditions are unprecedented in regard to opening work on spring goods, which has not waited for finishing rooms to close up the heavy weight season. Locally there is much activity uotwithstand ing the continued bright weather, but business is much bettor further north and west where suovv has fallen. Sole leather is remarkably well sustained, with stocks scarce, and upper leather is also lirm, although in better supply. Concessions in Chica go slaughter hides have been general, but dry hides are i cent higher. Cotton relapsed into duluess with barely steady quotations, in marked contrast to the exceptional activity and strength of the same week in 1900, wlieu prices were $11.25 a bale higher. Foreign markets are held down by Mr. Neill’s largo estimate of the domestic crop, which is not likely' to prove as near the f.ict as his excessively low prediction last year. Losses have undoubtedly been severe in many States, while prosperity in all other regions must bring a vigorous demand for good*, which is already perceptible in the activity of spinners. British exports of cotton goods are much larger than they were a year ago, and domestic shipments to China have also in creased of late. Return of Fall River prices for prints to normal position promises activity, especially with the wage scale also settled. These influences are all most fav orable for the raw material. Wool has continued active and firm in prices, despite returns indicating that domestic clip was the largest since 1894. Boston shipments reached a new high record. Strength is the rule in the markets for farm products. Favorable weather during the closing days of corn harvesting failed to bring any reaction from the highest price level in many yeras, and the market was equally oblivious to Atlantic exports for the week of only 450,424 busheles against 3,838,000 a year ago. After some weeks of gradual decline toward a normal position, pork pro ducts suddenly bounded upwards, regardless of weakness iu live hogs. Wheat holds at about three cents above last year’s price, despite th* the marked difference in size of crops. Receipts for the week were 7,381, 529 bushels, against 4,728,100 a year ago, while the export move ment is equally gratifying, especially from ports on the Pacific. Total shipments from the United States for the week were 5,040,417 bushals, against 2,000,770 last year. Specula tiou in coffee has rosunied normal proportions. Railway earnings for November thus far reported average 9.2 per cent, greater than last year and 16.5 percent, over 1899. Such favorable exhibits constantly appearing, it is not surprising that prices are firmly held in the face of many reports that might be expected to produce uneasiness and liquidation. The past week has been noteworthy for these minor untoward events. Rates for money hardened moderately without causing any inconvenience, and domestic exchange on New York at some interior points retched a premium. Treasury disburse ments partially offset gold exports, while gold also arrived at, the Pacific coast, and local banks gained from western correspondents. Foreign exchange rates stubbornly fail to respond to the outgo of gold, higher rates on London at Paris, low prices for gold at Loudon, and liberal exports of cotton. It is plainly an abnormal situation that dates back to last spring, when borrowing in London must surpassed all expecta tions. In the long run this opera tion will be of great international importance, as large foreign hold ings of American securities have been brought home. Liabilities of failures thus far re ported for November are only $4, 599,804, against $7,127,573 a year ago, $5,186,657 in 1899, and over $6,000,000 in each of the preceding live years. In manufacturing, defaults were $1,646,732, and in trading, $2,547,265. Failures for the week numbered 218 in the United States against 238 last year, and 31 in Canada against 29. Ray Bits. The weather lifts been very fuv orably for corn husking. Mrs. Estella Palmer and Mrs. Eva Thurman drove to Eagla Mills Satur day. Mrs. J. S. Twyford visited at Mri. Steavner’s on Sunday. Mrs. E. A.

Many of them have blue eyes, and all such are said to be stone deaf, hence they are less desirable in the house. It isn’t the Cook's Fault, It isn't your Grocer’s Fault, that the bulk coffee you just purchased turns out to be differ ent from the “same kind” bought before. Coffee purchased in bulk is sure to vary. The sealed package in which LION COFFEE is sold insures uniform flavor and strength. It also keeps the coffee fresh and insures absolute purity. • SIOUX WOMEN AT HOME. - Occupations Consist of Doing: Beadwork and Drinking: Coffee. The women of the Sioux Indian tribes are not indolent in their habits, but at their homes always find some thing to occupy their time. They do far more work than the men. but they don't know very much about modern housekeeping. In their log cabins they have a bed in one corner, a trunk against the side, bead curtains on the wall sometimes and a large stove as near the center as possible. In the stove a coffee pot and tea kettle are always resting and are kept constantly filled. The Sioux woman is an inveter ate coffee drinker. She believes firmly in its efficacy as a universal medicine. The cooking operations go on outdoor in the summer, with a primitive ar rangement of cross-poles to support the kettle. In their homes the women are always busy doing some kind of beadwork. Whenever a son or a daughter gets married or any other excuse offers the Sioux woman pre pares a feast. She will spend her last cent in a big entertainment. Then they all dress up in their gayest colors, paint their faces and put on all the beadwork they can on their children. Their dress Is simplicity itself. It is made with two seams, one at either side. It Is short in the back and front and long in the sides. In addition they usually wear a long beaded belt and a shawl. They never wear head gear; even on the hottest days they eo hatless. Brought Apples to England. Of all the productions of the vege table world which the skill and in genuity of man have rendered con ducive to his happiness and to the increase of his enjoyments the apple stands forward as the most conspicu ous. It is now a fruit crop of univer sal growth, and although the most beautifully sun-stained examples reach us at various periods of the year from Canada and California and the tem perate regions of our great Australian colonies, for flavor none of them equal those grown in England. The garden apple is believed to have been intro duced into Britain by the Romans, and the wild apple of our hedgerows is the type of the fruit when left to de generate and to which it would speed ily return but for constant culture.— London Telegraph, Getting Thm is all right, if you are too fat; and all wrong, if too thin already. Fat, enough for your habit, is healthy; a little more, or less, is no great harm. Too fat, consult a doctor; too thin, persistently thin, no matter what cause, take Scott’s Emulsion of Cod Liver Oil.
