The Sioux County Journal. ESTABLISHED l(ti. OFFICIAL COUNTY PAPER. LARGEST PAPER IS THE COCXTY. HAS THE LARGEST CIRCULATION OF AST PAPER PUBLISHED Di OCa" (XX.STV. Subscription Price, f2.00 L. J. SiuwK, - - Editor. Entered at the Harrison post office as sec oud class matter. Thcbsday, April 30, 1891. We are in receipt of the Beet Sugar Enterprise, published at Grand Island. and devoted to the sugar beet interests. The sugar industry is the most import ant one now before the farmers of Ne braska and a paper devoted to that particular subject cannot but be bene ficial A man by the name of Lawrenct 'pleaded guilty to the charge of selling liquor without license, at Pawnee City a few days ago, and the court fined bin. $200 and costs. That was cheap, for il is a noticeable fact that district judge; show little mercy to parties convicted ol "such offenses Another change occurred in the owner ship of ttie Iferald last week, Will Davi: having sold the plant to the Herald Pub lishing Company, but of whom the com 'pany is composed no intimation is givei so far. Although retaining no proprie tary interest, Mr. Davis will remain ii: 'charge of the office. At the meeting of the national republi 'can league at Cincinnati last week J. S Clarkson was elected president. A ring ing endorsement of the administrator was passed amid wild enthusiasm. Hon 'John M. Thurston, of Omaha, the retir fhg president, made one of his most elo quent addresses, and the convention wa also addressed by a number of othei prominent republicans. Ttie organiza tion is in excellent condition and will bt 'ready to do effective campaign work. It is1 a well-established rule of law that "ignorance of the law excuses nc brte." It may be that there are som people in SioUx county doing business a a firm, partnership or unincorporated .company who have not complied witl the law in the matter. To such Thz Journal would say that it would be a 'good plan to read chapter 63 of the .statutes, entitled "partnerships," for the reason that for failure to comply . frith the provisions of said chapter 'fine as great as $1,000 may be imposed. ( The greatest strike ever known in tht Coal industry is predicted to begin on May 1st. It is expected Uiat over twc hundred thousand men will lay down 'pick and Shovel on that day and unite in a demand for an eight hour day. The federation of labor is said to stand pledged to support the miners. Tht mine owners express their determina tion to fight the matter to the bitter .end; and as the strike will extend to very coal-producing state there will be no class of business thnt will not be ef fected. So great a number of idle men ;"vill soon become restless and then there ,is apt to be trouble. It is to be hoped that the strike will be averted. . , The treasury department has decided . that lottery tickets must have a duty of . 5 per cent ad valorem paid on them be-,- fore they can be Admitted to the United States from other countries. When they . were forbidden the use of the mails and express, companies of the United States . ibe lottery men changed their base of -operations to Mexico and now that the , treasury department has made the above ruling they will have a bard time to get their tickets distributed. Uncle Sam may be a little slow in getting after evil-doers, but when he does get started, as a rule, he doe a .thorough job. The edict hag gone forth' that the lottery business must stop and it is not apt to be recalled. , . Three of the district judges have held . that they will not confirm mortgage foreclosure sales of real estate in cases where the mortgagor is unable to pay his interest on account of failure of Trops and is still residing on the land and cul tivating the same. Tne judges are Oas ,lin, Hamer and Kinkaid and in the posi .tion they bare taken they will be sup ported by the masses of the people. : When a man gives a mortgage on a 'piece of land and then leaves, the coun- , try and fails to keep his interest, taxes, etc, paid up, it is bat right and just that the mortgagee should begin fore " cloeni procWings and get title to the land, but when a man is struggling to man a living and develop the country and bad seasons make him unable to meat bis obligations when due and be still continues to reside upon and culti vats the premises, it is, indeed, a bard ship to hare a loan company take his land from him at Jess than it is worth and nap the reward of increase in value which it certain to . follow a good crop year. Itiaallrifbt to protect toe in terests of the loan, cenrpaoies , and in vestors m every respect, so Ions; as Ujnstios is dooe to the borrower, bat poor Ban is entitled to a ffair snow u cm Maasu of tua iron and lead have already been discovered in the Black Hills, and now comes toe nort tliat ouick silver has been added re- to the mineral resources of the territory. The Bee merely repeals what it has so often said before. 1 Ije Black" mils is richest mining region in the worl Oitiaha Hoc. the A few weeks ago Kearney voted to become a city of the first class, but be fore the election was held the legislature passed a law raising the minimum num ber of inhabitants necessary for a city of that class from 8,000 to 10,000, and Kearney lias not yet acquired that num ber. The Hub, of that place, consoles tlie people by stating tliat although Ketrney cannot, under existing circum stances, become a city of the first class, there is no law to prevent it being a dr&t-class city. A very neat way of putting it. It is stated that the B. & M. will ex tend its line from Newcastle during the present season, and that work will 1 ommenced within thirty days. The B. & M. evidently does not believe in letting ts lines stop, or ratherj run out, as its tctions indicate that it will make im- ortant lines or none. It is more tlian likely that the Newcastle line will be built through to Helena in the near fu tu re. As tliat line has a number of niles of track in Sioux county, the fur ther it is extended the better it is for the ounty. The gold excitement at Gold Hill ap pears to be on the increase and crowds ire reported to be rushing thither to get laims from which they expect to soon realize untold wealth. The history of die place will likely be a repetition of a ;re&t many other places. A great num ler will go there, of whom a few will strike it rich and have a high time, a ri cher few will plod along and accumu late quite a sum as the result of industry uid frugality, while the great majority will live up all they make and finally go elsewhere without a dollar to show as the result of their venture.
