Questioned or bulldozed. Lincoln Call.
The commissioners of Btanton county
have ordered the county attorney to
commence action against two ex-county
clerks and three ex-county treasurers for
for amounts found due the county from
Euch ex-officials by an expert, unless set
tlement be made on or before March 20th.
A correspondent (?) of the Herald has a
good deal to say because people who
have been here but a year or two ques
tion the acts of older residents of the
county. That is a peculiar argument.
Itoes a man have to spend his life in a
place before be has a right to take part
in public matters?
, Trie editor1 of the Herald denies the
statement in the last issue in regard to
the ownership of the old Republican and
Herald and also states that the mortgage
which appears on the records is paid. It
takes a lot of gall on the part of the double-primary
worker to ask the people to
accept his statement against the records
in the office of the county clerk.
The Australian ballot law will be used
for the first time in Nebraska at the com
ing municipal elections in the various
cities and villains of the state. Good re
sults are sure to follow.
i
The repeal of the pre-emption and tim
ber culture laws are significant
shows that the fact that free govern
ment land is becoming scarce, is appar
ent to the government, and congress
deemed it necessary to reduce the
amount of land which people can secure
from the government. The repeal of the
pre-emption and timber claim laws will
prove beneficial to the new counties for
it will make it possible for a greatei
number of people to acquire a good sized
farm and will put a stop to any one man
getting a larjre amount of land. The
people in the east who have been con
templating a move westward and secur
ing government land, but have been de
laying making a start, will realize that
if they ever get a piece of government
land they must do so at once, and the re
sult will be that a new impetus will be
given to immigration.
A race war is threatened in Oklahoma.
Negroes are flocking into the territory
and the white settlers claim that they
borne destitute and infected with small
pox and a move is now on foot to put a
nop to any more of that class coming
into Ihe territory. If the latter part of
trie charge is true; it ought to be an easy
'matter id bfeVeiit the blacksfrorn mov
ing around the country.
The bill repealing the bounty on beet
sugar has been signed by the governor
and therefore no more bounty will be
paid, unless some of the bills pass pro
viding for a bounty to the farmers who
raise the beets. The beet raising last
year was not altogether satisfactory to
the producer as the price paid by the fac
tory people was not enough to make it a
very profitable business. It may have
been( and doubtless was, a good business
for the maunfacturers and an equaliza
tion of profits ought to be arranged. In
localities where the farmers are doing as
they are here, preparing to build and op
erate a factory themselves, the bounty
would go to the farmers. From the
present indications it will not be long un
til a great many factories will be owned
by the fanners and then the bounty,
whether given to the grower or to the
manufacturer, would benefit the farmers
and for that reason the state ought to of
fer all the inducements possible for the
advancement of the industry.
The gang organ gives County Attorney
Conley and the editor of Tax JobBiUL
credit for all the stirring up of matters
in Sioux county. If matters are straight
ened out so that the poor settler has an
equalahow with the wonldbe cattle barons
and those who have gone wrong in pub
lic matters are brought to account, it
matters not who gets the credit for it,
the county will be the gainer.
It is the wounded bird that flutters,
and judging from the amount of flutter
ing that has been done of late by the
gang and its organ, it is safe to presume
that the entire flock has been wounded.
It may be a bitter dose, but it has to be
taken. Bluff, bulldozing and bluster
may win for a time, but right and just
ice will prevail in the end.
. The gang organ arid its correspondents
'(?) make a great deal of fuss about the
necessary improvements mide by the
county officials In the early days. Will
they please state definitely some of the
necessary things they did and did legally
,aod economically? Perhaps it refers to the
road to Running Water, or the Murphy
and Whitney road and bridge contract,

allowed $1S0, or the costs paid by the
county for prosecuting men on some I
trumped up criminal charge for political

The commissioners at their meeting on
last Monday decided to hire an expert ac
countant and it is quite likely that he
will be here in a few days to begin work.
Ever since this matter has been agitated
the gang has opposed it. A f reat cry
has been made that it would be a great
expense to the county, not only for the
salary of the expert but for suits brought
in consequence thereof. The report has
been circulated that an expert would
cost from one to two thousand dollars,
and other expenses in proportion. There
is no doubt but what some people do not
want an investigation of the records, and
the reports sent out go to verify the gen
eral belief that all is not right There
are & number of hundred of dollars which 1
any one that will look over the records
will notice is short and how much more
can cnly be learned by a complete inves
tigation. The exprt vrill cost in the
neighborhood of 1200, and if any suits
grow out of his report it will be on re
cord evidence and if judgment is recover
ed against anyone the defendent must
pay the costs. It is generally the case
that when an expert reports an official
or ex-official to be short that individual
walks up and makes it good and there
the matter ends and in most, if not in all
ies where an examination has been
made, enough shortage has been found
to make that cover the expense.
Tile Irrigation Bill.
Omaha Bee.
The irrigation bill will, we are assured
be reported by the sifting committee and
there is every reason to believe that it
will meet with the favor of a majority
in both branches of the legislature.
Such objections as have been urged
against the bill are largely founded on
misapprehensions. One of them is that
it is purely for the benefit of the western
part of the state and that it will be in
jurious to the eastern half. This objec
tion U based on a very narrow view of
trie case. When several of the western
counties suffered destitution as the result
of the drouth", the injury was not limited
to them. The whole state of Nebraska
was pat before the country in an unfavor
able light and taxed in common to raise
means to meet the emergency. The in
jurious effects of such a calamity fall
with equal force on all parts of the state
and in the same way all parts will share
the prosperity which will come to the
semi-arid region under a wise system of
irrigation. The eastern half of the state
has, therefore, a very vital interest, in
putting the counties west of the 100th
meridian beyond the reach of the drouth.
under tm provisions of the bill ft sys
tem aljcaWe td toe. entire length and
breadth of W state, from tha Missouri
river to thVboundery of Wyoming, is es
tablished upon broad foundations. ( It
wooVd be'folly to bagiu with a system of
patchworlr. , Ho one can tall bow far or
fast the interest in irrifation will Uavel,
nor when the waters of the Missouri will
be in m great aasnaad as the waters of
the North Platte
For instance, tha latest spontaneous
ooersniiQA twas held Saturday at O'Neill,
in Bolt. county, which is far east of the
lOCth maridlAn. Toe dispatches state;
"Everybody waqa&naatkr and ' anx
ious to aajMast affaesne inaugurated
giva tha eannty ayatesn of irrigation.' ,
as a : a ..
is a very welcome surprise. It demon
strates how short sighted policy it would
be at this time, when irrigation bid fair
to become tlie most imiK.rtant develop
ment in western agriculture, to attempt
to limit the operation of a benificent law
to one small section of the state. Tlte
bill divides the whole of Nebraska into
water districts and provides a system of
administration to see that tlie law is im
partially enforce", but as all local of
ficers are paid by the day no expense will
attach to the system in the eastern coun
ties until they begin to make ue of it
It is manifestly wise, however, to make
provision at this time for their possible
demands.
The only other objection to the enact
ment of the splendid law submitted to
tlie legislature by the recent state aud
district conventions comes from tlie cat
tle men. Their objection is purely self
ish. They want the western half of tlie
state to again become the cowboy's em
pire. The battle is to-day, as it has been
for a dozen years, between the the home
steader and the cowboy. The home
steader has built his house or cabin on al
most every quarter section west of tlie
rain belt He has enriched the land with
tlie labor of himself and family through
years of hardship and sacrifice. The arid
homestead represents iiis total wealth
and prospects. He now asks for laws
that will insure the development of irri
gation and bring the powerful arm of
capital to his assistance. He is a host
where the cattleman is but a small com
pany. The greatest good ol the greatest
number demands that the prayer of the
homesteader be granted.
The friends of the irrigation bill are
ready to discuss it with all comers, but
they have full confidence that the legis
lature will make it the law of the land.
