We are in receipt of the Beet Sugar

and devoted to the sugar beet interests.
The sugar industry is the most import

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

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.

The folloing preamble and resolution!
were adopted :
Whereas, There has been twice subinittfd
to the voters ol Sioux county a proj"ltion
to tiond the indebtediirwi of the county,
,booki(f that the commissioners are en
deavoring to make provision to legally py
the Indebtedness, aud there w ill again, at
the next general election, be submittal a
proportion to Ijond said liidebUilne. And
Whereas, The valuation ol the propcrty
of Moux county for the year lsw wa
S31(i3.tXI and a levy of mills on ald
amount amounts to At,i;73J7. And
Whereas, The esiieiM.s for general pur
oes for the year l exoceded the mm of
W,fc73J7, and the Matutes of Nebraska will
not allow the levying of more than mill
for general puriwses, and there is every rea
son to believe that the valuation of proper
ty In Sioux comity for the year 1HQ1 will not
exceed the amount for the year bwi, and
that the expenses for general purpose" for
the year lnai will be as great as the same for
the year ls!K), Aud therefore
Kesolved, That the county attorney be
anil is hereby Instructed to commence pro
per legal proceeding to have the manda
mus set aside which was granted to the
liank of Harrison by the district court, for
reason that there will not lie funds enough
to pay the sum commanded therein to be
paid and pay the expenses of the county for
the current year.
