Fremont 'Tribune. One thing that Lincoln should actively join with other towns in the stale in securing, is harvest excursions from the east tins summer and fall. Nebraska will have its best clothes on this year and a harvest wonderful in volume, Lincoln Call. ' The editor of the Herald kicks because the records of the commissioners were not published sooner and claims that it was done so that bills would not be ap pealed. It has frequently "occurred be fore, as it does with any paper," but in this instance it affords the peace-loving(? Mr. Walker an opportunity to howL The' publication of the record was not delayed for any such purpose. The international convention of the' young peoples society of christian en . deavor which met at Minneapolis on the '9th inst was the largest religious gath ering ever "held on the earth. There 'Were over twelve thousand delegates in attendance. Aiwrney-rxutor waucer floes not ap pear to favor the organization of a bar association.

A gravity system' of water works connot but prove economical and a good system of water works is a dene 'fit to any place. " : Editor Walker says that Conley gave IrsShay ten dollars to leave the coun Jy and in the last issue of his paper says "Yes we said so, and we dare you to make us prove it." All we have to say jn the matter is if he has any proof let him' produce it, for if Conley is guilty of dishonorable acts we want to know it, and the people want to know it, and if he has proof that any other official has been guilty of dishonest or dishonorable act prove it, but the people will want more than the word of the editor of the Herald for proof. The Bee of last Sunday published a table showing the assessed valuation of all the counties in the state and the es timated actual valuation, bank deports per capita, population, area in square miles, average price of land "pel acre, etc Hie value of Sioux county is placed at $2,999,700, bank deposits show $486 per capita and the value of farm land is put at from $5 to $15 per acre. The total valuation $1,585,160,300, and the bank deposit per capita is $47.66. That does not indicate a great deal of poverty. The republican state central commit tee met at Lincoln last week and fixed the time for the state convention for Thursday, September 24th. Lincoln was- selected as the place to hold the convec tion. No proxies are to be admitted. The representation is to be based on the vote for Geo. H. Hastings, attorney gen eral, giving one delegate for each 150 and one at large from each county. It would have served Omaha right had the vote for governor been taken as a basis for then a reduced representation would have fallen to Omalia to repay for the treachery to Richards. that it did not seem to him that the trend of public opinion was in favor of such action. In that tlte chief execu tive was about right. Tliere are a mini berof vacancies in tlie membership of the legislature which would have to be filled by special election before an extra session could be convened and it i ex tremely doubtful if anything like a just and equitable railroad law could be passed by the present members of the leislature. Then tliere is the state board of transportation hich has the power to do that work and if they liave Ute interests of the' the people and the fu ture success of tlie republican party at heart, they will take prompt action in Ue matter.' The railroad managers sliould see that it is to their interest to get the rate question adjusted. All admit that a reduction shonld be made and if it is not done, the people will become desper ate and force extreme laws to be passed, and extreme measures should always be avoided if possible. a or I a kUo, t fc"ron( eb.

The state central committee passed no resolutions on the railroad freight ques tion because it was informed that the board of transportation was at work on the matter. The board has it in its power to greatly assist the party ott the way to victory this fall if it will estab lish rates that are just to the people and to the railroads. The masses do not want rates that will suit the howlers and ruin the railroads, and simple justice the matter will meet with ,the' approval of the rank and file of the people all over the state. 'The national birthday of 1891 in Ne braska witnessed a large number of gatherings different from those of any former 4th of July assemblages, in that they were strictly political meetings. Many of the reports indicate that they lacked enthusiasm and in some cases ere gecidedly flat. It is to be regretted that the anniversary of the great act of declaring the independence of the colo nies should be used as a time for a polit ical rally. Such a course will not tend to imbue the rising generation with such a spirit of patriotism as was displayed by the heroes of the war of independence. Independence day should be one of re joicing that our forefathers established Ihe goyernmept, wljile party work should be done op ofher days. In the last issue of the Herald Editor Walker comes out in an article over his signature in which he tries to explain his course in attacking the county offi cials, etc ' He says be does not wish to enter into a personal controversy with the editor of thupapajv Why, of course, he does not The columns Of toe Herald since Mr. Walker has been editor will prove to any one that he does not want a personal controversy. He says that if be has written anything lie cannot prove be has laid himself liable. If he can prove that the county officials have been guilty of fraud and robbery, why does be not bring action and prove it? He would certainly be treated as well as he was by his newspaper partner, A. Mc fiipley, and his associate county com missioners, when he brought the im peachment proceedings against his pres ent law partner, E. U. Satterlee, when that individual was county attorney in I860. Mr. WalktT is modest He only olaimi that the articles he wrote for The JoCKtAL elected the present county . offl oers. He ays be has no reason to vent any personal spite on the present county officials. That is one truthful state ment IThy, then, does be do it? He am bawd expose every act of the of - date 'teat ia not according to law. that w$X. For example: He hai jajtftioodm ot attaatfcm to Judge Caitar, bnt tiw aearest to anything ille gal to awtaa about that individual m IUat7aafheftbatbf eat but aagg dty, for which be aavAr re- a snow visited tsiair a lew days ago and a young man connected therewith coaxed a young girl by the name of Maggie Heath to follow off the show with. him. They were arrested at a neighboring town and taken back, when the fellow was allowed to go he insisted on taking the girl with him. Some of the citizens of the place decided that eggs would be good to administer in the case and the man was given twenty-five minutes to leave town and he took the hint and left , When a man gets so low that he will attempt to entice a young girl to leave her home and enter on the path to ruin, eggs are altogether too mild. Tar and feathers or a ' necktie party j would better serve the purpose, for! there is no law which will properly reach such contemptible wretches. . . four men convicted of murder were executed at Sing Sing, N. Y., a few days ago under the law substituting electri city for banging. The law in regard to the secrecy of executions is also very strict in that state, but it is stated that everything connected with the execu tions passed off without any hitch, and the opinion of the physicians who wit nessed the executions is that death by electricity is painless, ana tnat it is a humane way of carrying out a death sentence. There is a strong prejudice against the method and it will likely be some time before the dynamo will come into general use in place of the halter as a means of disposing of criminals, When conviction become more certain and the pardoning power allowed to be used only in cases where the innocense of the prisoner lias been established, the death penalty, will be very rarely imposed, Editor Walker will not give bis read era the results of the work of the expert, but turns it off by saying that the com missioners have made consummate asses of themselves, the county attorney has shown his total ignorance of the law and the taxpayers are out about $206 by the same. That shows that Mr. Walker is not jealous, that he does not try to tsar down the standing of his professional competitors and as the records show that Attorney Walker is a phenomenal law yer his judgment must settle it and there is nothing left for the commission ers to do but to mulch their ears and travel on all fours in future. But the records show that the county is about 1,00 on that deal and the county attorney is sustained in his legal posi tion on the matter fay Attorney Gen eral Hastings and . tbsrs wiH be some moss coUected from Um dstta- quent aCafcjii W&ea the master sags, Udossnot aMsn tobe in the nature of &setorof the Herald to state acts -- - ; V r, but be doe not tatbi- Cal t2a safcSn, hot tiw test Cst be liMtbsfovanortonllasMeial fcKalieMatj far mrm yaarsfof tt lefidatan to pass laws to tMeCJa tia repstiatton aad brthtetaMtav OsmR--jr C.
