Since the paper jvas established Sioux county has passed through troubles incident to the settlement of most new countries, but now with the good crops and prices an era of prosperity for the farmers and therefore to the whole community, ap pears to be dawning. ' It lias been the policy of The Journal to advocate the advancement of cultivation and develop ment of tlie county and the returns which the farmers will receive will demonstrate that the policy was correct For the course pursued in the past we have no apologies to oiler, and shall in the future continue to advocate what appears to be for the best interests of the county, and shajl endeavor to keep The Journal fully up with tlie times. Thanking our friends for the support "given in the past and hoping all will en joy increased prosperity in the future, we shall endeavor to merit a support in keeping with the growth of the town and county. ; Land that yields from two to three times its cost in a single crop is a good investment That is what western Ne braska land is doing this year. Lincoln Catt. At the drill contest of the state ma- litia at Grand Island last 'week, Co. D, of the 2d regiment won the prize. This is the company which was stationed here last winter at the time of the Indian trouble, and those who met the boys of Company D will be pleased to earn of their success. The republican primaries of Holt county were held last week and the re ports are that all the delegates are for the nomination of Judge Kinkaid. Such action by his home county indicates that Judge Kinkaid is most popu lar among those who know him best. The probabilities are that Kinkaid will be nominated by acclamation when the convention meets. The sale of the Short Line railroad did not come off as was expected. Just as the sale was to commence the so bettors of the Manhattan Trust Co., who an plaintiffs in the case, filed a request with Receiver Bierbower that the selling of the road he deferred and no sale be made nader the decree of the court now eximV 'tej. Vo am appears to kaow the cause fO tit action of the trust company. At the republican convention of Brown county "the delegates lo the judi cial convention were iastructed for tlie nomination of Jude Kinkaid for re-elec tion. Tlie indications are jllint Judge Kinkaid will be nominated bv acclama tion. Tliat would 1 the proer thing. He has filled tlie office honorably and efficiently and his decisions aie held in high esteem by all and there is no occa sion to make a change. The question of township organization is lieing agitated in Dawes ounty and titions are lieing circulated aiing tliat tlie matter be submitted at the coming election. There are a number of coun ties in the state tliat would gladly sell their experience with township organiza tion for a great deal less tlian it has cpst. There is not, so far as we liave ever learned, a single county in the state where tlie township plan lias lieen adopted tliat is satisfied with the system and a numlier are going tack to the commissioner system. The year of 191 seems to be likely jto be noted for early frosts. Last week the temperature went down so low as to do damage in the iJakotis, Wisconsin, Iowa, portions of Nebraska and oilier states. At some points ii; - Iowa a good deaj of damage was done by a black frost. which indicates a lower tenier.iture than the white frost. Corn was dam aged as well as vegetables and garden stjilT.xIn this locality a white frost visited some localities on the table land, but no signs of freezing appeared iu the valley, and but little damage was done. The artic le from the Iowa Iftmiextead, which appears in another column of this issue in regard tp J he prevention of frost by smudges should be carefully read by every farmer. The recent work of science in controlling the elements and avoiding damaging effects therefrom has opened new fields for thought. The time is past when a man could make a success of farming simply by following the old methods. The man who would best succeed as a farmer must now study his business and adopt measures and methods in accordance with the times. There is just as sharp competition among the farmers as there is among merchants and the man who uses brains as well as brawp jn his farming operations will ac quire a competence, while the man who sticks to tlie old ruts of ten or twenty years ago will have a hard time to eke out an existence. This is an age of ad vancement in farming as well as every thing else and it is the duty of all to exert themselves to keep up with the times. Some effort lias been made to get up& move to nominate a non-partisan candi date for judge of the supreme court aud circular letters were sent out over the state relating to the matter. The plan was decidedly transparent and the fact tliat it was only an attempt to get a democrat on the supreme bench was easily detected. Some efforts have also been made to fuse the democrats and re publicans, but the rank and file gave warning that they would not stand any such foolishness and if such a thing was brought about by the would-be leaders there would be a great falling over each other in the rush to get into the inde pendent party. The republican and demo cratic parties nave fought too long and the lines are too well defined to allow of any such move. If a party cannot stand on its principles it is bound to go down, and the republican principles have with stood the assaults of opposition for more than a quarter of a century and there is no occasion now for that party to fuse with the democrats, A strong fight is being made . by the press of the entire country against the practice of substituting one article for another. A favorite illustration is that of medicine. A person gets up a remedy of real merit and puts it on the market and calls the attention of the public to it by liberal advertising. Another per son gets up a remedy of inferior quality and gives it a name as near like the good article as possible without violating the law; the bottle wrappers are also very similar to the article. The next step is to put it on the market and to do this they make the wholesale price lower than that of the article they have so nearly initated, and thus is the founda tion laid for the work. A customer calls for the article that has real merit and the dealer substitutes the partial imita tion, simply because there is a few cents more profit and both the customer and the manufacturer get cheated. ' The work is not confined to medicines but reaches to every branch of trade. The best way to stop each work is for people to insist on getting just what they call for, and under no drcu instances accept an article that is gotten up for the pur pose of being used a a substitute for an other.

It is so much easier to say robbers, thieves, barnacles, railroad cappers, etc. and then the law is on the wrong side anyhow. Cottonwood precinct was not repre sented at the convention held at the court horse, but judging from a com munication received to late for publica tion there are quite a number who will let themselves be heard from in favor of the candidates nominated at said con vention, The correspondent to the Herald from Cottonwood (?) says Mr. Raum denies getting pointers on the political situa tion from Walker. We don't blame him if he refused to take pointers from Walk er tliat is, if his memory has not been impaired. We suppose the subject of the little confabs was "sour grapes." No, Ifr. Boomerang, tlie People's In dependent Party, are not trying to con vince the people that they are the Alli ance, and we judge it would be better for the alliance if the Boomerang would not expose its ignorance in trying to con vince the people that any political party is the alliance. Post up, Sammy post up. We would call the attention of the voters of the second commissioner dis trict to the fact that it will be necessary for them to bold district conventions in order to ratify the nominations made for commissioner, or circulate petitions and secure the signatures of one-fourth the voters who are residents of the district, in order to properly place the candidates on the official ballot. The offi cers of a county convention are not the proper persons to certify to nominations made for a district or precinct office, and specially if the convention was not held within the boundaries of the district or precinct. fho-f ReMtlutioi. The Buomerang was request ted to in form itself in regard to tl resolutions which it claimed were passed by tl Siojx county aUiance, and it would un doubtedly trnd a vast difference be tween tlie assembly tliat passed the rewv lnti'onsa;i4 the county alliame. Tlie difference has been discovered, but tlie Boommmo- has not tl spirit of lepess about it to admit tliat it was mistaken. The history of tl resolutions was aliouj. correctly published in the Herald last week, over tl signatures ol two oi the delegates to the convention, who are not members of tl Alliance, ami if cor- rert the Boomerang is in error, ies, eenOeman. there was a convention lield nt t tilma" s tall on tl 1'ith day of Aiiist, 1"V1, and tlre was a '-rough draft" set of resolutions there which ere imtientlv waiting for some one to introduce them. Tlre was a commit tee on resolutions, but the resolutions in nuestion needed some trimming. Iliey wer put iuU) tie hand, of the trimmer .md failed to show up until "at the close of i.u conventton and liefore adjourn ing." Now, the Sioux county alliance was not in session to pass any such reso hitions that dav, Mr. Binswrong, and as to whether all the delegates were present nt that convention, "at the close, ' there are quite a number of citizens who know better. Til? ( oiniiiissioiier Districts. The county commissioners at a si ia meeting held August 27th, changed the boundary lines of the commissioner dis tricts of the county, without changing the liotiiidaijcij of tlie various voting pre cincts. The districts as now constituted will be comjiosed of the territory con tained in the voting precinct as follows: Uittrirt No. 1: Montrose, Antelo). AVaWionnet, Hat Creek, Five Points. District No. 3: Cottonwood, White Ifiver, Andrews, Hodarc. District No. 8: Bow en, Running Water, Lower Running Water, Sheep Creek, Snake Creek. In making tlie t 'uige, after determin ing as near i s ssilile wlmt .should properly le done, the commissioners drew the boundary lines on a map and instructed the clerk to write the record accordingly. In writing tie? record the clerk omitted a cert,rji;t jv ;tiou of one district and when his attention was called to the fact inserted the same, in the presence of the editor of the Hrrald, and after carefully eomieiring the map with the recoitl found that he had omitted several sections of another dis trict which he also inserted, while the editor cm the Herald was absent. The commissioners properly performed their duty, and tlie clerk corrected the error he made in .describing the territory, he was instructed to describe, but th swell head ol the Herald must have something to howl about, hence the article in the last issue of that sheet, headed: "No Man's Land." Walker failed to find the several sections omitted from district No. Land it is well that he did, as his readers would have been treated to several col umns of "gush" had he done so, The commissioner districts are divided, however, and a corrected descripton of the territory appears elsewhere in this paer not at the expense of the co;int v. The Uiuir. The court house ring 'is supposed to consist of the present county ollicials. and we occasionally hear the remark: "It don t matter who is elected this fall, only not one of the ring." Tlie lioard of commissioners are doing all in tieir power to manage the affairs, pi the county economically and ley;ullv. In order to do so legally they are bound to be economical, but none of them are be fore the jieople for re-election, simply be cause of the abuse heaped on them while they are conscious that their duties were and are lieing perfomed according to law ana the best interests of tlie county. The county attorney has another vear ti serve before bis successor can be elected and therefore there are four of the court house ring who are not to be -le. il The judge is not in the field for re-elec tion, but we believe there -will be such a demand made for him to accept the posi tion for another term, that he wiU fin ally consent to allow his name isi ho nuul in that connection. There are few who will not admit that the office of county judge has been managed to tlie interests of tlie tax payers during the term of the present incumbent, and those who are not satisfied tliat it was, have only to examine the docket lo convince them selves. It certainly can not lie truth fully said Oiat the judge's office was a "cost mill" during WW's administra tion.
