Well.it was a pretty fair cleaning

“The best mayor O'Neill ever had”
wasn’t quite good enough to outdo
Bill Fallon for alderman.
Taxpayers who want to attend
council meetings the coming year will
do well to secure seats in advance.
The exchange editor of the Graphic
will have to square himself with The
Frontier and Independent some way.
Last week he gave the Independent
credit for The Frontier’s thunder and
The Frontier for the Independent’s.
It is noted, however, that there was
nothing of a political nature in
either.
Governor Mickey is using the blue
pencil on the bills that call for
appropriations and bond issues. While
The Frontier personally believes that
the twine plant would be a good thing
in the long run, the tax payers will
I pretty generally approve of the govern
or’s course in vetoing measu res that
call for the unnecessary exrpendfture
of funds.
Governor Mickey has Bigned the
biennial election bill, and hereafter
elections will occur once in two years,
unless the law is declared unconstitu
tional by the courts. This will do
away with an election this fall, the
present county officers holding over
another year. There is a pretty strong
sentiment in favor of the law as elec
tion expenses will be materially re
duced thereby.
Schuyler Free Lance: The populist
party was a party ot the people and
had a right platform, but the populist
party failed most dismally when in
power to do anything for the relief of
the people along the lines It w as sup
posed to advance. The rank a nd file
of the populist party were alrig ht and
sincere, but they failed to put i princi
ple only to the front. The par ty be
came a combination for the ben eJU of
a few leaders like Allen, Hok wnb,
Meserve, Edmlsten, Porter, Poj rater
et al., who talked much, but fallc id to
practice the reforms they ever pre atcfi
ed. Finally the people turned In dis
gust from those political hypoci ites
and the party died a wellmeri ted
death. Thelhope todaylls in the R oos
eveltelement of the republican pa rty
and in such men as LaFollette.
Senator Gilligan expressed the sen
timents of his constituents tow ard
the lobbists pretty w'ell when he said
in reference to the lobby behind the
fratenal congress bill, in a heated dis
cussion in the senate last Friday:
The other house 1 ias been work ed by
a lobby of bloodsuckers. The mem
bers of that lobby have got in our
seats, stood in our road in the aisles
and bothered us all winter. Talk
about courtesy! Tb iat resolution is an
insult. The hoase is trying to make
us act. As forth© bobby behinc l this
bill If i had my way I would have them
kicked down stairs. Are we goi ng to
let the lobby run this house? L< it us
resent this attonupt artd l,?t us legis
late for the people.” The senate did
resent” It an,d the 13311 went do wn to
defeat.
Passing evijnts point* to ?. char ge in
the system c* electing Uni ted S tates
senators at no distant date. The
chief barri tr to peopos ed meas ures
providing f ar the electitu 1 of Jsens.tors
by direct v ate has been1 ttt e senate it
self. Every time such'ai measure has
come up in congress it has been killed
by the sens ,te, but that Ik >dy can not
long disregard public sent iment when
once arouse d. It is grown ig more ap
parent day by day that t he change
must ©Ten tually be mad e. In this
day of oblit eratiun of part y lines is a
r-.j-jn vii MiMnifi.il - -
good time to agitate the subject. The
Frontier bel.ieves the most effectual
way to get at the matter is for
the political organizations of the sever
al states to adopt platforms demand
ing such change and then nominate
sentorial candidates, or recommend
them to the state legislatures, who
are pledges to such a platform. In
this way men could be sent to the
senate pledged to vote for the direct
vote system.
Amusement of an Emperor
National Humane Educator: The
Emperor of Germany has killed his
thousandth stag. His courtiers and
gamekeepers have kept count of each
one shot down by the emperor, and
just recently, in one of his parks near
Berlin he shot the helpless animal
that made the thousandth stag.
The emperor has numerous parks.
In these parks small birds, big deer,
wild boars and other animals are bred
and cared for, even petted. They
really become domesticated, are not
like the wild animals of the forest, but
being dependent upon their keepers,
become very docile. The fawns play
about under the trees, the fowls enjoy
themselves roaming about in the
grass. Happy, innocent, harmless
creatures.
But his Majesty, the emperor of
Germany, is out for a holiday, looking
for something to amuse him. He en
ters one of these parks, seats himself
comfortable on a camp-stool, surround
ed by his attendants, leisurely waits
until the keepers of the animals drive
the tame, harmless deer, one by one,
within easy range of his rifle. Then
as the beautiful deer, with big pathe
tic eyes, goes trustingly toward him
the emperor raises his rifle and shoots
the unsuspecting animal. More deer
are driven by, the birds are brought
within close range, and the emperor
amuses himself by sending
bullets through their living sentient
bodies. Hepless creatures! No chance
to defend themselves or to escape.
• His Royal Highness calls this fun.
He likes to have the innocent creat
ures driven up before him that he
may take their life. What would we
think of a butcher who followed his
trade for the fun of slaughtering the
animals?
The whole thing is pathetic. We
don’t know whether we feel more
sorry for the animals or for the man
who can sit there comfortably on a
camp-stool and kill the poor beasts.
If a man went into his barn-yard and
wrung the necks of his chickens just
for the pleasure it gave him, we would
call that liendish. But the emperor
ipoes into his park and shoots down his
animals and birds, and calls it sport.
®ah! We call it savagery.
As the emperor shot down the help
less stag that made the thousandth,
tlhexe was a shout of acclamation from
his xoyal attendants and the emperor
was flushed with pride. It was such
a brave thing to do, so noble, so heroic,
so glorious— the killing of a thousand
innocent, hepless creatures—that a
monument is to mark the spot where
thousandth one fell. A huge block of
stone, flu e thousand pounds in weight,
is to cover the blood-stained spot, and
the monument is to bear this inscrip
tion: ‘‘Ou r most gracious Margrave
and Lord, the Emperor William II,

The Better
Way
The tissues of the throat are
inflamed and irritated; you
cough, and there is more irrita
tion—more coughing. You take
a cough mixture and it eases the
irritation—for a while. You take
SCOTT’S
EMULSION
and it cures the cold. That’s
what is necessary. It soothes the
throat because it reduces the
irritation ; cures the cold because
it drives out the inflammation ;
builds up the weakened tissues
because it nourishes them back
to their natural strength. That’s
how Scott’s Emulsion deals with
a sore throat, a cough, a cold,
or bronchitis.

A Fact Confronts a Theory.
Kansas City star: In view of recent
developments in Kansas, what be
comes of the argument that the rail
roads need no regulation by the gov
ernment?
In a recent issue of the Outlook,the
president of the Boston and Maine
railroad presented an elaborate con
tention to prove that the lines were
reducing fares as fast as possible and
that they could be trusted to treat the
shipper with perfect fairness. In the
current issue of the North American
Review the president of the Delaware
ind Hudson company discourses with
vast legal and business learning on
“The Danger of Government Rate
Making.”
Yet all these dissertations become
is sounding brass and a tinkling cym
bal in the face of the fact that last
week the independent refinery at
Humboldt, Kan., paid $27.60 for
freight charges on a carload of oil
which would have cost $78.34 to ship
before the maximum freight rate bill
became a law.

SWEET PRUNE PLUM
September 1,1003, three bushels of
ilums were picked from one five year
)ld tree in E. D. Hammond’s orchard
>f Sweet Prune plums. The tree com
nenced to bear two years after plant
ng and is bearing every year. It is
,he only Prune Plum that has been a
mccess with me and I have tried
nany kinds. It stood the dry years,
.893 and 1894, and the hard winter of
.899 and bore fruit the following sea
ion. It is a grand success for North
eastern Nebraska. It is a dark purple
in color, large size, skin can be easily
removed and can be pitted like a free
stone peach. They are excellent for
canning and preserves and are so
sweet that they require very little
sugar. I sold this plum at $2.50 to
$3.00 a bushel the past season when
other varieties of sour plums were
selling for 75 cents to a $1.00 a bushel.
It has taken first premium at the
Lincoln State fair, and limbs ana
brances loaded with plums, shipped to
the Pan-American exposition at
Buffalo, New York, were shown in the
Nebraska fruit exhibt that took one
of the gold medals. I also received an
honorable mention dipioma on this
plum from the Pan-American exposi
tion. We believe this plum has more
good vualities, and is the best plum in
existance for this whole northwestern
country. If you plant some of these
trees you will be well paid.
We have a choice fine lot of five to
six foot trees to seel for the Spring of
1905. These treets were grown from
grafts cut off these bearing treets that
bore these plums, and they will bear
fruit at two or three years old if
planted and are sute to be genuine. If
you want some of these trees send
your order early and get the best
plum in existence. Trees five to six
feet $1.25 each; $12.00 per dozon.
Six trees for $0.00. The only way
you can be sure of gettitg this plum
true to name grafted from my bearing
trees is to send your order direct to
me. Trees delivered free to any rail
road town. Call at Norfolk Nursery,
