Rosewater,
, In the last issue of the . Indeptndtrd
Chas. E. Verity and Conrad Lindeman
said that among the independents there
is a strong sentiment in favor of Con
Lindeman for clerk. A few months ago
Chas. E: Verity and Conrad Lindeman
said in the same paper that they were
pot candidates for village trustees.
There was just about as much truth
and sincerity in one statement as in the

For the past few years everything in
Custer county of a political nature has
been controlled by the pops. They
have ''reformed" everything in their
own interest and against the interests of
the masses and the people have become

ft short time ago and a county ticket
nominated. Last week the republicans
of that county held their convention and
endorsed the nominees of tiic mass con

Fi r the iirst time in more than thirty
years the tide of emigration has turned
away from the shores of the United
States and more are going to other
countries than are coming here. It is
said that a great proportion of those
who are leaving are people who came
from foreign countries to belter their
condition financially. During the pros
perous times that have for years pre
vailed they have prospered and now as
the hard times have come and many are
thrown out of employment they return
to their Dative country and take their
savings with then), as they can live
much cheaper there than here, and when
the good times are again restored they
will be ready to return and again enter
the labor market.
The report of the consolidation of the
Chadron and Alliance land offices and
one being done away with at Chadron
has stirred up people all along this line
of railroad as far as the district extends.
There is a strong effort being made to
have the districts retained as they have
been. The department seems to have
fixed it up to suit itself without making
any inquiry or investigation as to the
convenience or wishes of the settlers.
To compel the people of the Chadron
land district to do all land business at
Alliance would work a hardship which
homesteaders are not in a condition to
stand. What the idea of the adminis
tration can be for abolishing either of
the northwest Nebraska land offices can
hardly be imagined. The fees of the
oflices pay the expenses and there can be
no plea of economy made by the depart
ment and there are enough democrats
who are willing to fi 1 1 the positions. It
is hoped that, the effort to have the
Chadron office continued will be suc
cessful. Great Men Season, Small Men Fight.
Inter Ocean.
That the higher civilization will dis
countenance war is so positive a theory
of intellectual progress that the enthu
siasts are persuaded it will dispel war
utterly. In a remarkable speech to.
have been addressed to veterans of one
of the greatest of modern wars, Colonel
Henderson, of Iowa, said to the army of
the Tennessee on Tuesday: "Art, poe
try, romance and history have mag
nified and glorified the soldier, but the
time is coming when these great instru
ments of power will desert their favorite
theme and will pay homage to men who
lead the great forces of thought away
from the slaughter-house up to the
higher fields of human action.'' And
presently he added, "The great man
reasons, the small man tights."
No thoughtful man, certainly no man
of high-minded benevolence, may dis
sent from the wisdom of these words.
Hon' to dispense with war is one of the
essential problems of civilization. That
which prevents its solution is the stub
born force of unreason that makes ''the
small man fight." But until education
has eliminated the "small man," by
which Colonel Henderson means the
small intelligence, the glorious limes
when all differences may he amicably
adjusted in the forum or council cham
ber is far removed from present survey.
The great bulk of mankind is ignorant,
easily influenced by prejudices, and alto
gether too ready to fight either in de
fense of its assumed rights and privi
leges, or in support of its convictions,
however fallacious.
Inflamed by his passion or led away
by his folly, the "small man" precipi
tates the conflict in which the "great
man," having deprecated it with all the
seriousness of his reason and with all the
earnestness of his, soul, is forced, in
behalf of principle, honor, humanity, to
participate.
No man ever entered upon war meas
ures with more reluctance than those
Veterans of 1861, to whose representa
tives Colonel Henderson spoke. It was
only when the flag had been fired on and
the integrity of the nation assailed that
tbe union men who had deprecated war
(lamed into the fury of righteous wrath
and rushed to the defense of the union.
The spectacle was the more sublime be
cause the patriotic impulse was so strong
as to turn a nation of peaceful citizens
into a camp of soldiers battling for union
and peace, and at the close of the strug
gle the leader of the tinioa forces was
the (lent to say ''Let us have peace.'1
There never was a question or a
'cause, save that of deliberate invasion
for the sake of conquest, that might not
have been determined wisely without re
sort to arms but for the "umafll roan,"
the headlong, impulsive, inflammable,
unthinking majority that frequently
overrides or sweeps along with it the
"great roan," the rational, dear-sighted,
jusjUoe-defloinf minority.
Though Colonel Heoderaoa has put
Into Um form of u aphorism tbe work
1jt prtacipU of th nloakwoth irt twe
tieth centuries, it is very doubtful if the
end of another thousand years will have
seen its exemplification in the conduct
of mankind. There must cor ':'
speedily, however, the time :.
lions shall put away the spirit of war
from their councils, and conferences and
treaties, aud when the fighting will be
nothing worse than local eruptions of
short duration, not attaining the im
portance even of internecine strife, but
representing insurrections against law,
or possibly revolt because of injustice
tyrannously exercised. International
wars must le few and far between, and
internal wars will be looked upon as a
Sx;eies of suicide. The soldier is disap
pearing from the eye of civilization.
America, the greatest nation of the
world, thrives without him, and the
empire of Germany is witnessing that
extreme refulgence of military fame
which is the brilliance of the expiring
flame. Verily the crown of the future
will bear the jewelled words: "The
great man reasons; the small man
fights."

The public clocks of Paris. They are
as innumerable as the puff balls of the
"what's-oVlock," whose tiny moons
mingle with the gold stars of the dande
lions which intrude on a summer la vn.
But .he oldest of them all and, indeed of
all France, is this great ornamental
clock on the tower of the Palais de Jus
tice. Its date is 1370.
It is best seen from the flower market,
on what the people call the little island
or He de la Cite, recently described by
Theodore Child as "A sort of acropolis
or secret enclosure devoted to great pub
lic monuments."
Imagine yourself, then knee deep
among the flowers that crowd the quai
to which they give their name. One
could forget time altogether in such a
perfect surrounding of light, form and
color, were it not for the near and sonor
