J. C00I it Ifl E s if k IT The Sioux County Journal. Publislied even? ThursdaY. Subscription Prk. f2.00 L. J. 8hupo, Editor. Entered t the Hutuoi post office u ux ond claw matter. Thuksday, Ai uvst 22, 1889. The no ru muting of HuU-hison by the republicans of Iowa is giving great sat isfaction all over tlie state and it is ex pected that large republican gains will be made at the election this fall. The postoffice department is after tlie postmaster at Blair and a thorough overhauling is expected in the near fu ture. The department appears to be looking after the actions of postmasters pretty closely. The postmaster at Boon ville. Ind., is ruined, being short about f 6,500. It was brought about by a gambling deputy, to whom the postmaster had entrusted tlie management of tlie office. The post master is to blame for nothing but carelessness. The prospects for a union depot at Omaha appear to be brightening. A company to be known as the union depot company has filed articles of incorpora tion and propose to erect suitable union freight and passenger depots in the city of Omaha. The authorized capital is $1,500,000. The Advocate, of Chadron, has dropped the temperance part of its title and now comes to liand as a plain, every week newspaper, known to its readers as the Chadron Advocate. It is only an occa sional paper that can succeed as a spec ialist. As a rule the people prefer a good, all-around newspaper. Edward Edison has been created a count by the king of Italy and Mrs. Ed ison a countess. The great electrician says: "They must never hear of it in New York. They would never stop laughing at me." Mr. Edison is attrac ting more attention in Europe at the present time tlian any other american citizen. C. W. McCune has taken control of the Crawford Times and announces that he will endeavor to make it one of the best republican papers in northwestern Nebraska. We extend best wishes for the success of the efforts of Bro. Mc !unei Good, straight republican papers are good things to help build up a town and county. The commercial agency of R. O. Dun & Co. recently sent out reports from almost every county in Nebraska rela tive to the condition of the crops. It shows a greatly increased acreage and in general a bright prospect for a good yield. The recent heavy storms which have prevailed throughout the state will reduce the aggregate yield, but Nebras ka will come up smiling in the front line of agricultural states when the final count is made. Now that the republican state central committee has held a meeting and fixed the date for the state convention, it is right and proper that the republicans of the north Platte country begin to get into line. It is true that this is an "off year" in politics in some respects but it is necessary for republicans to get ready for next year, so that our friends in the south part of the state will not capture all that comes before the people in the convention. Luring this fall the pre liminary arrangements should be made which will insure to the north part of (he state the recognition it deserves vhen the selections are made for the state officials. "In time of peace, pre pare for war." In conversation with a gentleman from the central part of the state, one who is pretty well informed on political matters, we were informed that con gressional politics were being talked of to a conviderable extent and the contest next year will doubtless be a lively one. There are a number of candidates from among the best men in the district, among which will be Lieut Gov. Mei klejohn, Judge Kinkaid and Hon. A. E. Cady. Hon Geo. F. BJanchard has many friends who think he could repre sent the district in good shape, while some believe Gen. Conner would prefer to be a congressman to all the world be side. In addition to this C. C. McNisb and John J. Boche are reported to be in tne nancy oi their mends, it is gener ally understood that Mr. Coney has made pledges that will, in all prooabili ty, keep him out of the race. From the above Lst it will not be hard for the re publicans to pick out a good man for the place, in fact, they could not help them selves if only those are to be selected from, for' all are well and favorably known. While not wishing to push the candidacy of any one of them it would be a pleasinc thine; for us to see Gov. Meiklejoon honored by being elected to that place, l uring a long personal ac , quaintanos with him we have found that he is a man wfao can be depended on and he has tilled every position to which he has been elected with credit to himself : tmd his party, but TBI Jocwiaj, will be for the nominee of the 'republican con Muii when the time comes, and if it is not our Ant choice before the cooren ' Cfj ft will bs our taodidaW after it, On last Saturday Jolin L. Sul livan, sentenced at Purvis, Miss., to ininoumeut for one year for light ing in tle state contrary to the laws. The Judge in sentencing him stated that the arrangement and carrying out of the fight between himself and Kilrain ap peared to be in tlie greatest cootempt of tlie laws of Mississippi for the party liad passd through otlier states to the place selected, with no otlier apparent reason than that they did not fear tlie laws of that state. Tlie case will go to tlie su preme court and it is to be lioped that the decision will be sustained. Twelve months in a county jail will give Sulli van a cliance to learn that he cannot vi olate the law w ith impunity. Some pars get so low in their tone that a contemporary must degTade him self to pay any attention to them. A case which illustrates this point hap pened in Fremont recently. A lady as cended the water tower and some paper in tliut city made an assault upon her for so doing. Tlie lady sent a reply to the Tribune for publication and tlie fol lowing is what the Tribune says editor ally of the matter: The lady who h:id the nerve to ascend the water tower Friday evening, which is more than one man in fifty can do, sends a contribution in reply to an as sault uxm her by a nameless travesty upon newspaers. The lady in question will please excuse the Tribune for with holding the contribution. In the first place it is unneccessaay to defend one's self against assaults from that source: in the second place the dictates to pro mote decency have led this paper to the resolve of taking no notk-e of what the nameless journalistic travesty referred to lias to say on any subject. Tlie death of Congressman James Laird will make it necessary for the peo ple of the second dirtrict to select a man to fill his place, and as there is strong talk of a secial session of congress be ing called in October, it is quite likely that Gov. Thayer will call a sjiecial elec tion at as early a date as possible to (ill the vacancy. There are a number of men in the second district who liave been unfeeling enough to quietly nurse a boom for themselves for the position while the incumbent still lived and it is to be hoped that they will be made to feel that they were showing undue an xiety and that the people of the second district have no use for sucii. There is one man in the republican ranks of tliat Jistrict who would come as near filling the vacancy as any man could without tne six years of experience possessed by MivXaird. That man is-Senaior-R, S. Norval, of Seward, and if the republi cans of that district are wise they will make him the standard bearer of the party in the coming contest. Last Wednesday ex-Judge David Ter ry was shot and instantly killed by a deputy United States marshal at Lo throp, Cal. The fatal shot was called out by Terry slapping Justice Field, of the United States supreme court, in the face. Justice Field and Deputy Marshal Nagle went into the diuing room at the depot for breakfast, the latter having been detailed as a body guard to Justice Field. Terry and his wife, the widely known Sarah Althea Hill, of the Hill Sharon divorce suit, came in and recog nizing Field the latter returned to the sleeping car and her husband walked up behind Field and slapped his face. His guard ordered Terry to keep Ins hands off the Judge but the order was not heeded and as he raised his hand to strike a second blow Nagle shot him dead. Na gle lias been arrested ard will have to go through a trial, but as he was detailed by order of U. S, Attorney General Mill er to protect Justice Field there is no doubt that he will soon be released. Ter ry and his wife had both threatened to kill Field. Tlie protecting of the judges of the courts is to be commended and the killing of Terry, who was a villain, was but meting out justice to him. His widow is howling loudly for the prose cution of Justice Field and Deputy Mar shal Nagle. Congressman Laird Dead. At his home in Hastings on last Sat urday morning at 10:30, Hon. Jarnes Laird; congressman from the second dis trict of Nebraska quietly passed away, surrounded by many warm friends. Mr. Laird has been ailing for almost a year past and for a number of months his death was almost daily expected. His disease was of a nervous character and was brought on by over exertion. The entire state of Nebraska will deep ly mourn the death of Mr. Laird for be was one of the men the state could illy afford to loose. He had just reached the prime of life and his career had fitted him for great usefulness to the common wealth. He was a man far above the average in natural intelligence and gift ed with a power of speech possessed by few, he had ably represented the second district in congress for six years and was elected for another term. Luring his official career he had be come a recognized leader on the floor of the House of Representatives, by his eloquence and fearlessness. Hh cham pioned the cause of right and the ad vancement of the great west Big hearted and generous to a fault James Laird died a poor man financially, but the number of his warm, true friends are legions. Even with all hi generosity he had enemies on whom bis death most rest heavily. Men who pre tended to be his friends were in tome re spects the referee and it is to be hoped that they will yet "regret tlie dishonora ble acts they performed relative to the dead statesman. It is sad to loose a man who has just reached a point of great usefulness to his state and nation, and in his death the jieople throughout tlie United States have cause to deeply mourn. The remains were interred in Park View cemeteiy and Senators Manderson and Paddock and Congressmen Cornell and Dorsey acted as pall bearers and tlie services were conducted by one of tlie best friends the dweeased had, Rev. J. G. Tate. . The third annual reunion of the North western Nebraska Veteran Association will be held on the fair gr-mnds at Chad ron, Neb., Aug. 21, 22, and 23, 1889.
