V - tof Sioux Ccunty Journal. Subscription Price, 12.00 Editor. , KajWayt at . llamaon post u9lc as sssosd class nastier. ThcbsdaT. Novkhukii 12, 1H6. . . - J Sow that election is over publishers j will he able to one more to issue nes papers instead of political sheets. Notwithstanding the fact that the republicans were defeated, the vote of party was much larger than it was !nlk The republican leaJers in Nebraska . i i , , should learn by the recent defeat that it Bkes more than a long residence and a o&A ki'ii He to get the votes. To a man up a tree it looks as if the national populist party had not only been swallowed by tlie Bryan democracy but had also been thoroughly digested. The Australian ballot is used in all the states except Georgia, Louisiana and North Carolina, and it is likely that they will soon adopt it. Hie system suits all but political strikers. The publishers of a Hastings paper ntei a number of delinquent, subscribers for the amount dus. The defendants fought the case, but were beaten in the end, anli a f3 subscription with costs "aflded amounted to about 15. France demanded that the Turks let p In their thier murdering of Anneniens and the sultan has promised Uiat the de mand will be respected. So oft has his promise been given only to be broken that it is not very safe for the public to tUu- much conildence in this one. There are a number of laws on the Statute book of Nebraska which are as Head as if they had never been enacted and gome member of the new legislature Who wishes to shine as an economist can lio the state a good service and win fur himself undving fame by having them reflated. It is not always the man who yets the most new laws passed who does the moat for his constituents. It Is reported that before tlie New Year the war in Cuba will be ended. That Spain will either have crushed the Cubans or withdrawn her forces from the Island. There are millions of people in the United States w ho wilt watch pro gress in the matter with deep interest, nopiog that the Cubans will be the vic tors. IT Spain expects to do up tlie in surgents within so short a time she will eed to tt a move on herself. ft Is asserted by some that the defeat 'ofl'uttlefor the legislature should be taken as an expression of the people of xhe district indicating disapproval of a 'change Tn the stock laws. What was Vhe'cass In other counties tlie writer "cannot say, but the vote in Sioux coun ty was not an expression on that point. t is also stated that the convention by vhich Sheldon was nominated pledged hi'M to support a free range bill. That harms; been the case the question of Tree range or herd law was not an issue t any time, and now is the time for the 'discussion of tlie matter and for an ex tpresskm by those Interested as to what fhty believe to be for the best interests 'Of tbe 'county. The voters stuck very 'close to party lines in the late unpleas "aotness, regardless of local issues. Mr. is a prohibitionist, but no one wftl 'claim that his election is to be con Mdered as indication that the northwest district is in favor bringing on itself any triors kinds of drouth than it has had to Vooteod with in the past A the remit of the election the state 'of Nebraska will with the beginning of he1Mrxt year pass completely out of the "control of the republicans. There is no Mottbt that there are a great many peo jple In the state who have come to be lieve that the officials have been of one political faith who have been in power that there must be a lot of crooked , ' work carried on from year to year. It ,1a hoped that at the time the change moat thorough investigation of 'vary department will be made. It is Mm laUrast of every citisen of the 'slats', regardless of politics, that the at tain of tlW stele ba public and if tb VepabaVao haVs lean guilty of wroeg- let it H kaown.

In Baltimore tlie day it was known that He Kinky was elected more than three millions of dollars ia gold and currency was deposited in the banks, most of it being small amounts which people of small means bad been hoarding up until the result of the election be came known. Similar reports come from all over the country. Tliat shows clearly why money was scarce and tlie result of it going back into the channels I or business will soon stop tlie cry of lack of sufficient money to carry on all legit imate business. Among the candidates for the federal judgeship made vacant by the dealt) of Judge Dundy is Judge Albert VV. ('rites, of Ctiadroo. It is reported that he became a candidate at the solicitation of friends in various parts of II le state. Politically he conies fully, up to the standard of President Cleveland, being an administration, sound money demo crat in whom tliere is no topulistic guilo. His age, legal ability and expe rience certainly are such as will com mend him to tlie appointing power. He is the ooly man in this part of tlie state who is in a position to aspire to the place anj all in northwest Nebraska, regardless of politics, shouU give him all possible aid in his candidacy. The fact tliat many mills and factories which had long been idle posted notices as soon as the result of tlie election was known suiting that they would start up within a few days is a puzzle to some tor the reason that McKinley will not take his seat until next March and the new congress will not meet in regular session until tlie following December. It should be borne in mind tliat it is less than four months until the new presi dent will be inaugurated and very likely as soon as he is in the chair lie will con vene congress in extra session for the purpose of passing law s in conformity witt) the wishes of ttie people as ex dressed at tlie xills. Tlie mills and fac tories will then find a market for tbeir products, and tlie further fact should be remembered that a great many orders were placed contingent upon the success of Mc Kin ley and it will require some time to till them. It is hoped that some of the statesmen who are to be members of tlie next leg islature will devise au improvement in the assessment laws. At present there is no uniformity and little justice in tlie way property is assessed for taxation. A man gets elected assessor sometimes on his promise to assess property in his precinct at a less rate than it liad been assessed in former years. Then tlie rest of tlie people of the county have to pay more than tbeir just proportion of tlie public expense. What is true as to the difference in valuation in precincts is also true as between counties. In some counties stock is assessed at nearly dou ble what it is in others. In some of the western counties where land has no market value, and will not sell even for taxes, the assessment is nearly as higti as it is in some of tlie counties in the eastern part of the state where land sells readily at from thirty to sixty dollars an acre. There is a good cliance for some genuine reform in this matter. The conviction of Stoneking and his sentence to the penitentiary is of more than ordinary significance. For years it has been common talk that a conviction on a charge of any crime, and especially on the charge of rustling, was out of the question io sioux county. It is also well known that during the campaign when Judge Wes lover was a candidate it was talked that if he was elected the rustlers would have little to fear. This came of the fact tliat Judge Westover had defended and secured the acquittal of a number of those charged with crime in Sioux county. Anotiwr point was that some who claim to bs honest men and good citizens hare been in clined to upuold violations af the law and to sneer at any effort to have the law enforced. Lawbreakimr is a disauaa which grows on a community an J every one who does not take a firm stand for law is lending aid to outlawry. So great had been the development of the law-breaking disease that people had become convinced that they would bs compelled to take measures to protect themselves and a year ago steps were takeo lor that purpose. The sending of young Zerbst to the reform school was notice to young would-be toughs that whan they cannot bs controlled by their parents they are very close to the point where ths strong arm of tha law will reach out for them, and tite conviction of Stoaeking demonstrates that a man cao be convicted of rustling in Sioux county, and the action and statements of Judge Westover shows that evil doers will get heavy penalties meted out to ahem if convicted before him, and the way ia which criminal cases are presented to the court indicates that the count? attorney will do all ia his power to enforce the law, aad if all honest people take a firm stand for the law Stoui county will come out from under ths cloud which has so long over- rfU" YT WWnnT af irni aeWrsona having final proof noth-ea In tft. paper will retrwlvr s murlceil copy uf the. pnper and are. req uetei to examine their notice ii1 If sny 'rrots i'ill report tbo same lo till office at once.
