Let us settle the whole controversy by awarding first honors to the men behind the guns. The Nebraska State Record by F. A. Harrison is a warm republican paper just started at the capital. Mr. Harrison is about as well posted on Nebraska politics as anybody and is able to get out an interesting political paper. The Stuart Ledger is trying the “re formed” mode of spelling. It is ex tremely doubtful if the transition in spelling will ever be universal and complete as the authorities on the lettering of words have a habit of do ing it the same old way. There is no doubt that Governor Savage will be retired politically upon the expiration of his term of office and there is less doubt that the governor will grieve any over it. The next re bublican convention will make a grand stand play denouncing the sentiments that three-fourths of the people of Nebraska believe at heart to be right. Dr. James Edwin Russell has offer ed himself as a subject to be placed upon the altar of human vivisection in the interests of a so-called science. We can see no possible advantage to this branch of “science” in this sacri fice. Any man that will make such an offer has a sprinkling of disorders in the mental regions that unfits him for the proper gyrations at each prob of the surgeon’s knife. The Alliance Pioneer Grip says: “Just what scheme there is behind the movement to make a ‘forest re serve’ out of sandhills in western . Nebraska is not very clear as yet. Government scientists may prove to the land depart ment that trees can be grown on these treeless deserts but . residents of these sections, like the man from Missousi, must be shown.” A tract of land that will not produce a cactus stalk can never be relied i upon to grow the rugged oak. i ' • ► To be in sympathy with the pardon of Joe Bartley doesn’t imply sympathy , with the practice of embezzling. The opponents of Governor Savage dare , not say that he and those who agree , with him are ii\, favor of looting t lie public treasury or that they commend the misguided conduct of Bartley in the least. Pardon does not approve of sin. “He hath removed our sins from us as far as the east is from the west.” Does that approve the past misdeeds? To remove implies taking away, ob literating the guilt. It isjustassafe to trust the man who Is ready to ex tend pardon as t he other class. Independent: It is very strange that Sheriff Hall and The Frontier have just found out since election that Hagensick and the Germans of Holt county were merely a set of “ignorant, beer guzzling Duch.” It is not strange that a paper which feeds upon the food of passion, prejud ice and blind partisanship should be so very mad at the sovereign patriots of Holt county who failed to whoop up enough votes to elect a populist sheriff and continue to digest the venom of it spleen though it do take it through unknown paths of the deciples of Ananias. What Sheriff Hall has done respecting the deputy ship is no concern of The Frontier’s unless the one so appointed should duties of the office. The Frontier has many friends among the Germans, and they are all too intelligent to believe the falsehoods it pleases the Independent to feed its readers. We defy the cor rupt syndicate sheet to put in print from the columns of The Frontier one word of the rot it imputes to us in the above. LETTING PROCEEDINGS. Our esteemed contemporary is per sistent in its purpose to misrepresent the administration of county affairs under the present board of supervis ors. Notwithstanding the fact that every act of the board is set before tlie public in plain type each week this organ of populism and falsehoods continues to circulate Its incldious lies. Everybody who keeps posted on the work of the county board knows that the Independent is as far from the truth as light from darkness when it says the board now has published its “proceedings at full legal rates in stead of one-half or one-third received by populist papers.” To begin with, the letting of the proceedings was not done until Tues day of this week, when The Front ier, Atkinson Graphic and Stuart Ledger were agreed upon by the board in which to publish the proceedings at one-third legal rate to each paper. To show that this proceeding is in accord with precedent established by the populist boards in the past we quote from the supervisor record F, page 417, date of February 9, 1900, the following report of the committee on printing, which was adopted by the board: The publishing of the proceedings r>f the county board be let to the ltolt County Independent, Atkinson Plain Dealer and Ewing Advocate, each to receive 111-9 cents per square. Eleven and one-ninth cents per square to each paper amounts to 331 cents for the whole work, or full legal rate. This was done by a populist board, and the Independent, which proclaims from the house top that re publican papers are getting full rate while populists did the work for one half or one-third, was one of the bene ficiaries. Again. In lilOl the proceedings were given to the Ewing Advocate by a populist board and no price was stip ulated. In which case the Ewing Advocate charged and received 331 cents a square, or full legal rate. The Ewing Advocate was owned and con trolled in 1901 by the editor of the In dependent who is now opening his capacious moiith in noisy bellows de claring the pop papers received only a third legal rate. The Independent is proving its ‘yellow” qualities at every turn and lobody dare trust its utterances. Home again. MYTHOLOGICAL FIGURES. Monkeying Cronin’s bond.$300 Letting proceedings. 300 liaising janitor’s 'salary. 120 rotal loss by republican rule since January 1 .$780 The above appeared in last week’s Independent. The obvious intention »f the several items is to fool its read srs, but the readers generally have nore sense than the writer. The irst item is a myth pure and simple. Hie new county board did nothing vith Cronin’s bond but approve it, tnd the Independent is invited to ihow its readers from the supervisors’ ■ecords to the contrary, The second torn It! 'ic hnn *ie f ho Hrct rrhn nrr\. seeding* were not let until Tuesday of his week, five days after the Inde pendent said the county had lost $300 n letting them. And they have seen let at the same rate paid the populist papers the past two years, as ivill he seen by reference to this sub ject elsewhere. The third item con tains a little fact and conceals more.' Die janitor’s salary was raised $10 a month, the board considering sixteen hour's work a day worth at least $40 a month. The Independentr forgpt to say, however, that tlie salaries of the deputy sheriff anddeputysuperintend ent were reduced $10 each per month. Therefore, there was a reduction of $20 and a raise oj $10, or $120 a year less than the last populist administra tion consumed. The Independent should expert its figures. THE SYNDICATE PROSPEROUS. In the columns of our “reform” contemporary, the bellowing enemy of trusts, trust methods and trust prices, has appeared the last three weeks a little advertisement of a 1,600 acre ranch which the O’Neill land syndi cate want to sell. The ranch is advertised over the name of Edwin S. Eves, who made the purchase for the syndicate of F. M. Tyrell of Lincoln at a cash price of $7,500. Mr. Eves advertises to sell for $16,000. A small margin of $8,500 is asked by the populist editor who dis courses eloquently upon the robber prices of the trusts, etc. A few years intimacy with a popu ulist county administration has brought a fortune to a populist editor who came to the county with an army press and an empty space box. The Independent has discovered a “steal” of $'80 in Holt county’s ad ministration since January 11. A syndicate that lias held up the tax payers for $15,000 in tax foreclosure juggling makes a pretty set of rascals to be blackmailing honest men. COMMENT ON KINKAID Long Pine Journal: Moses P. Kin kaid had sand enough to take the re publican nomination for congressman front the Sixth district at a time when success seemed improbable and notiody wanted the nomination very badly, and lie almost won. Now that the the prospects are much better he is entitled to receive the nomination as a recompense for his past sacri fices. Here goes for Judge Kinkaid for congress! Boyd County Advocate: Last week’s Frontier formally announces the can didacy of Judge Kinkaid for 1lie con gressional nomination from this dis trict. Judge Kinkaid is certainly en titled to the nomination, having twice made the race, when the odds were against him. Now that the district is practically republican we should like to see the judge secure the nom ination, and feel certain that he could be elected. Rock County Leader: The O’Neill Frontier announces the candidacy of uu^c si. l. rvimvaiu iui iiic rcjJUtill can congressional nomination in this district. Weave pleased to learn of the judge’s willingness to make tlie race and believe lie would make a strong candidate. In addition to his qualifications, which are excellent, lie is entitled to I tie nomination by virtue of his services to the party in the last two congressional campaigns in the face of majorities he could not hope to overcome. A'alentine Republican:The Frontier announces Judge Kinkaid as a can didate for congress from the Sixth district and sets forth good and suttl cient reasons why he should be nominated. The Republican heartily endorses tlie candidacy of Judge Kin kaid and believes that is the domin ating sentiment in the entire con gressional district. No man has a more valid claim upon the republican nomination than he and no man would more intelligently represent tlie people of this district, lie is entitled to and ought to be given the nomina tion without opposition. St. Paul Republican: Tlie O’Neill Frontier brings out tlie name of Judge M. I*. Kinkaid as a congres sional candidate, subject to the will of the republican convention. The judge is a gentleman and a scholar and it would be real pleasure to have him till the present vacancy in con gress. But what’s the matter with giving the lower end of tlie district another chance at tlie persimmon? We can knock it this t ime without a doubt. Atkinson Graphic: Mr. Kinkaid accepted tlie nomination, made an aggressive canvass and gave strength to tlie ticket in years when the chances of success were' not even nominal. Having done this lie above all others is entitled to recognition now, when the election of the republi can nominee is practically assured. Alliance Pioneer Grip, dem: It is amusing to observe how rapidly can didates are coming to the surface for the nomination for congress on the i republican ticket now that it is known the Sixth district is republican again. In former years when populism reign ed supreme and there was no show for a republican, statesmen in that party all agreed that Judge Kinkaid was the man to lead them onto vic tory. They now say that Judge Kin kaid lias had his day. There is a humorous side to politics always, and this certainly is an example of it. Bayard Transcript: It' any man in the district has a valid claim on the re publican nomination Judge Kinkaid is the man. Twice he has led a for lnm hrmp mnninir awav ii.hpn.fi nf his ticket each time; and if lie wants an other chance it ought to be given him without oppsition. Chad run Journal: That the big Sixth will be represented by a republi can, after the present term of Wm. Ne'ville expires is not quest ioned, not even by the most sanguine pop. This feeling of success has aroused the ambit ion of a number of republicans and now nearly a score of aspirants are looking with longing desires toward the nomination. Tile Journal will heartily support tliechoice of the republican congress ional convention, but up until that time it will favor the one logical and most deserving candidate for the nomination, Hon. M. P. Kinkaid, of O’Neill. It was in the years of drouth and calamity, of populism and dissatisfac tion, that Judge Kinkaid was induced to make the race and bearing the brunt of a defeat, a most unpleasant experience. Now that the hopes of populism are blasted and the but works of the opposition are weakened it is no more that right and justice that tlie judge be given the first place in the district, and lead on to victory. As a republican and diligent laborer for party success no one ever had rea son to doubt tlie judge’s sincerity. As a clean politician no one ever had reason to doubt, his honesty. As the man pre-eminently qualified to rep resent the big Sixth in congress no one has a right to deny. Nominate Judge Kinkaid. Queen Alex.mdraN Yloll list. Queen Alexandra’s appointment ol Lady Halle as her majesty's violinist is taken as another instance of the warm favor with which the sovereign has always regarded her gifted com patriot. It is well known that the marriage of the great Danish violinist to the late Sir Charles Halle was brought about through the friendly in tervention oi Queen Alexandra. THOUGHTS FOR EVERY DAY. They who have no ideals have no ideas. The test of a talent is the industry and perseverance with which it is cul tivated.' The self-conscious person is usually unhappy because he finds no happi ness in the joys of others. As memory may be a paradise from which we can not be driven, it may also be a hell from which we can not escape. People need from us nothing so much as good cheer and encourage ment. Life is hard for most, and needs inspiration._ A Big Cut in The Price. The Nebraska State Journal has re duced its prices to sudscribers outside of Lincoln and sudurbs from $7.50 to $5.00per year, including the big Sun day paper, or $4.00 per year without Sunday. The price of the Sunday issue will be $1.50 per year. By this action it is presenting its state readers with thousands of dollars, but the result will be thou sands of new subscribers, thus enlarg ing its usefulness and abbing to its value as an advertising medium. In stead of any lessening in the effort to make it a first-class State Paper, the Journal will be improved in every de partment, making it the best newspa per in the state for Nebraskans. It is published at the State Capital, which has always been the center of things political and social of a state nature. The Journal’s state tele graphic service excels that of all com petitors which, with its compelet associated press reports and special telegraph service from Washington, makes it the naner for Nebraska people. A. L. Bixby’s department is one of the most widely read in the west, and the fair and unprejudiced editorial treatment of all state matters has made the Journal thousands of warm friends. This big reduction in price which now makes the six week day papers eight cents a week, and the seven day paper ten cents a week, will make tlie Journal the most widely read paper throughout Nebraska.

Gentlemen : — Being entirely cured of deafness, thanks to your treatment, I will now give you p full history of my case, to be used at your discretion. About five years ago my right ear began to sing, and this kept on getting worse, until I lost ray hearing in this ear entirely. I underwent a treatment for catarrh, for three months, without any success, consulted a num ber of physicians, among others, the most eminent ear specialist of this city, who told me that only an operation could help me. and even that only ternnorarily, that the head noises would then cease, but the hearing in the affected ear would be lost forever.' I then saw your advertisement accidentally in a New York paper, and ordered your treat ment. After i had used it only a few days according to your directions, the noises ceased, and to-day, after five weeks. my hearing iu the diseased ear has been entirely restored. I thank you heartily and l eg to remain Very truly yours. I'. A. WEUMAN, 730 S. Broadway, Baltimore, Md. Offr treatment does not interfere with your usual occupation.
