The Sioux County Journal. Publisliwl ever' Thursday. o Subscription True, fi.OO "W. E. Patterson . Editor and Prop. Cntered at the postofflce at Harrison r, - .-ecood clans matter. The Lincoln Jouru&l intimates that Mr. Her of Oniaha paid the Onialia liee i.000 for it Iowa anti-prohibition ir-iv.-pondenca. The announcement is maile that Mr. Purnell's health Li failing him. The ctaise of freedom cannot well afford the joss of the services of tliat grand wan Said Attorney General Leese: '"The pa-jsa-re of House Roll 95 will put Sioux tounty along with all the other counties in the state under the operation of the I lend law," Helen M. Gougur, the great woman mff rage agitator from Indiana, address ed the state legislature at Lincoln last week, Wednesday, and delighted every body with her witty remarks. Why do the free range men kick so hard aud so high about the pasKO-of House Roll 95 if they are sincere in say ing tliat it will permanently fasten free range on this county? Hats! Before another issue of the Journal is published Republicans will lie in posses sion of the White House, Harrison will be President, and Grover will have re- t'red into "innocuous desuetude, Senator Manderson delivered an elo quent and graceful address to a joint session of the two houses at Lincoln on last week Tuesday. Republicans of Neb raska are proud of Senator Manderson. Sam Jones claims 1,200 converts dur ing a recent revival meeting at Los An geles, California. That's all right for Los Angeles, but if Sam ever strikes Harri json Holy Row will have him in jail on a cliarge of criminal libel before he lias time to preach his second sermon, Cliauneey M. Depew claims to be the fi rst man who e ver got a railroad char ter through the city council of New York without the use of boodle and seems to think it a feat to be proud of. What a comment on the unadulterated Democratic government of that city! The closing act of the present Demo cratic administration is enlivened by the antics of Judge Edgerton whom Grover is trying to depose from the civil service commission to get the place for another Democrat named Thompson. Edgerton makes the welkin ring w ith frantic yells to the general effect that Cleveland lias ruined the Democratic party, and to an outsider there is a general appearance of ruin all around. The Democratic house committee of congress has decided tliat it has ',no jurisdiction" to investigate the right of Breckenridge to his seat, Breckenridj is the Arkansas gentleman whose seat was being contested by Col. Clayton and the latter was recently assassinated while collecting evidence in the case. The murder was unquestionably a politi cal one, and the Democratic party reaps the intended reward and adds one more deed of blood to its record,- A few copies of the Bodarc Record are mm in demand at tins office at lac. per copy. Were we in the position occupied by the Herald's editor, $5 a copy would gladly be given rather than have their contents again made public. We al rwidy have a copy of a letter written by "Uncle Bab" and published in the Bo darc Record, which we expect to print in due time, that will show up an entirely different position as formerly occupied by tliat aged and learned gentleman from the one he now so ardently and sin cere) v(?) occupies. There must have been a different train of thought gam boling around through the mind of the present editor of the Herald too, when he was so earnestly engaged in conducting t lie brain pillows which supported the editorial columns of the Bodarc Record. Tliat consistency is a jewel, each of these gentlemen seems to have forgot tfen.- ' Mean things may sometimes appear to lie done with some show of reason, but rhean things that lack consistency meet ilniversal contempt.- The action of the scalawags who claimed to represent the repu oilcans oi oioux county and reor ganized the County Central Committee, is wot only mean it is worse.- Alleg ing that they suspended members of the Committee because of disloyalty to the Iirty ticket, - they retained a load mouthed member from the much ntuffed- Running Water precinct who Uottsts of his opposition last fall to Rep resentative Gilchrist, along with the old firke who resigned from the Republican lrltt in fawM. n IIU : - i 1 - " -'!, 3 U11C ticnartv.

Tlie cattle barons and t!eir strikers are after his scalp, and the small fanners are happy. If he lias ntrve enough to stand by t!ie poor man against tlie abuse of tlie tattle kings he should be retained anotlitr year. Wliitut-y (liainpion. The bottom dropd out of the Lon don Times case against Parm-11 Satur day. Tlie cross examination of Pigott, one of the Times w itnesses, convinced everybody tliat the Times letters are for geries. At a meeting of tlie stork-hold-ei-s of tliat piijier, the editor who was resjionsible for the publication of the al leged Parnell letters, Mr. Walter, agreed to Iay the expenses of the trial out of his pei-sonul estate. The news causes re joicing. Tlie negro exodus from some ofthe southern states is creating rnu-fi excite ment there and force is bei&j, inserted to to compel them to stay and be deprived of tlie right to vote and suffer otlier abuses as usual. The manual labor in the south is done piincijKilIy by the blacks and should they leave in such numbers as is threatened, their former employers w ould prolubly be obliged to pay a fair price to otlier workmen to do the work, and that is wliut they kick against, Tlie bill admitting Washington arid Mon tana territories as states, and Dakota as two states has Kissed Congress and been signed by the President. This gives to the union four more republican states. The territorial legislature of Dakota on joint ballot stands 61 republicans 8 dem ocrats and 3 prohibitionists: of Montana, 27 republicans and 9 democrats; and of Washington, 32 republicans and 4 demo crats. Now brother Jones you may yell "justice at lust." You've a juiir now, twins, wliat will you name the otlier kid? We have already received numbers 6, 8, 9, 10, 11, 13, 15, 16, 17, IS, 19, 22, 2"), and 27 of the old defunct Bodarc Rec ord and are still in the market for other copies; and all this in the face of the fact that Mr. Slingerland says that a Jierson who will dispose of a copy of the Record is no friend of his. He may fin ally realize that the steps lie has recent ly taken and the position he now is as suming as the advocate of a set of leeches who have ever been sjKiken of in connection with the county and town as one of its principal drawbacks and detriments lias lost him more friends tlian any one otlier act of his life. Friends too, w hom to claim is an honor, and whose disapprobation it were well to consider and w hich would in many cases be sullicient proof of actual way wardness. The Herald says there is nothing in the bill (known as the herd law bill or house roll 95, now before the senate) that will make it retroactive, or in other words, that it will not revive the herd law in Sioux county even if passed. No you cannot see it in the bill for it is not there, but, should those sections lie re pealed and stricken from the statutes of Nebraska, where would you find a law sustaining free range in Sioux or any otlier county in the state? Pshaw'. CI mr lie you surely do not want the people to believe that a free range system would be sustained in direct opposition to the statutes of this state which would read, were tlwse sections stricken out, tliat all stock should be restrained from run ning at large? Yet you are in favor of free range in Sioux county and opposed to the passage of tlie aforesaid bill? Bosh! We sincerely hope the present legisla ture will pass the bill adopting the Aus tralian Ballot system of voting for this state. If there is a single weak and crumbling stone among tlie many which constitute the foundation of our gov ernment it is the much abused election laws of today. Would it be wrong to say that the people are robbed of their wishes at 25 per cent of all the polling places in the United States by the cor ruption practiced under the present sys tem? We think not; and in many states it would be doubled. Such a law as is proposed would of course cut down the population of Running Water nrecinct and thereby incur great loss of trade to our town and loss of taxable property from the county, but nevertheless we are ready and willing to have the pro posed change. Massachusetts has been testing the law for several years and the report of its success is very favorable.

What the ocean is to the rivers and lakes of earth, agriculture i. to all othr trades and professions of men. It im bibes all and again rises to spread bless inirs over all and revivify them. It is tlie reservoir and it i- also tlie great su tainer aud distributor to all. One fourth, or 15,000,000 of our people may be classed farmers, who employ a much larger number tlian any other. It is iudispensible to all others as it sus tains them all. On its prosrity others thrive and by it retrogressions the oth ers dec line or perish. The greatest glory of our country is, "It is the granery of the world." More iieople are fed from its broad and fertile acres tlian from any other nation. Its produce ladens lle sails of everv sea and is in traffic -at -vpi-v mrt. The real substantial of life are derived from its culture and iranv oorted bv its industries. It furnishes most peaceful and pleasant homes to votaries as it delves and revels in siire-lidnse of nature. No field of lal so shaniens nereeption nor invites, w so treat allowments, the inventive ge ins of men. The vegetable, animal ami mineral kingdoms, throw wide their doors and earnestly invite to come in. Permanent and healthful employment pass through its gates. Here the vigor f manhood blooms and the pride ,ol womanhood is developed. This is the domain of vigorous recruits to the world's best brain and muscle. Here Washington, Clay and Webster loved to move and here rejose. If you would lie strong, fell the forest or guide the sturdy plow. If you would live to lie aged and be free, abide where nature's refreshim: breezes may fan your brow and where the crystal fountains burst forth and the unadulUirated food comes directly from the-moulds, where' the sweetest flowers bloom and the sweetest music is carroled, where earth smili-- with varigated hues and heaven sheds its purest and most resplendent light.
