VOL. XIV. LOOP OITT, BHERMAH COUNTY. NEBRASKA, NRIDAT, AUGUST 8, 1SRI. HUMBER ai I The Northwestern ’UHLISHED EVERY FRIDAY AT I'M K COUNTY SK AT. UKO. K. ItKRHClIOTMi, Editor and Publisher.

If the equity term of district court wliitdi is to be held in the county this inonth liud been put off for n moiltIt or so later it would enable quite a number, no doubt to save their homes. If they were given a chance to market their grain in many cases they could pay up the bask interest and part of the principal, in eiudi cases it would save addi tional cost of suit and expense to the county of holding court. We advauuud this idea to one of our citizens the other Jay and lie said in reply, that In such eases I ho judge could uh« his own judgement and where parties were about ready to make satisfactory settlement tbe conti rmation of sale could be made, if necessary at a future term. Now it seem trom this that iliu tax-payers ure to lie put to the expense of u term of court in order that the ollicers in charge may use their official power for political prestage. livery oili cer of Sherman county should use their li.lluance to have tins equity term go over. No criminal cases are tried at equity terms. Tliu main hulk of the business to be transacted at tliu coming term is the continuation of sheriff sales und the starting of new foreclosure suits. For heaven sakes have aiittlu mercy on the tax payers and unfortunate ones whose home is about to be taken from thurn. The Times-In dependent has been black for the past ten weeks with the publication of sheriff sale notices which means that for every notice so published that the sale of some ones home at the hands of the sheriff will be pre sented to his honor for confirmation. I I Judge Sullivan was in the city lust Tuesday, evidently looking to his chances for the nomination for another term on the bench. From ; present indications it is doubtful whether or not the Judge will be aide to secure the Sherman county I delegation as some of the popnlist ring leaders do not take kindly to his candidacy. In fact one of our § county officers was heard to say that he supposed that the Judge expected the nomination from the populist party und an endorsement from the republicans, and gave us a reason f for this remark that Sullivan was badly tinctured with extracts from both platforms, or words to that k. etieet. .m»w 11 is u taut mat .'ir. ^ui !' Jivaii, while on tin* stump proclaim / ed his ropuliiiuauisin and endorsed tiie republican platform, ail ex cept the money plank. And it is aian a fact that while doing so these [ same populist leaders sheered him to the echo, and why should they desert him now ?

Neb. July 24.—Kditur of the New York Herald. New York. —I>er Sir: 1 have not hitherto sup posed that iu order to he a pop, it was necessary to be a folsilier of history. I am led to make this re mark after having read in the Lincoln Nebraska State Journal copied from the Herald, a letter signed Silas A Iloleouab, Oouvernorof Nebraska in respose to two very proper questions propounded by the Herald viz: Re ferring to the state having paid .oir a largo amount of iudebtncas in the last six months, the Herald asks: “Can it be assumed that the state is experiencing a revival of prosperity? If this be so what etf'eet will it have on Bryan s campaign?” One might have supposed that the governor of a state would have answered such questions in a spirit of candor and faitness, even if the truth did militate against his own views and wishes. But not ao, he shows he cannot rise to the level oi truth an honor iu political matters. lie claims that the present pop administration have been paying oil state indebtedness and have raised up me state wurranis iiuuj jo pci cent to par. This administration has been in power only six months, and has dons nothing to benefit the stale securities or the state credit The fact that the warrants have risen to par was because of returning con fidence among the people. The con fidence made itself felt when William McKinley was found to be elected president of Mia United States. It was the restoration of that confidence wliieli has brought restoration of prosperity. Holcomb and his admi nistration had no more to do with restoring state credit and raising the price of warrants than Nero had to do with the discovery of the laws of gravitation, or Judas with advo cating loyality to his master. It is false claim, state warrants have al ways stood well. There was only this exception when they wont down to 95 oouts last year uud that was the result of the dread that Hryauism might succeed in reaching the presi dency. Governor Holcomb should be ashamed to assert suoh claim as he did in Ins letter to the Herald. There is a very decided revival of prosperity m this state. It comes from two causes: One is the policy of the present national administration the prospect of protection to Ameri can industry. The other is that a bountiful providence has blessed Ne braska with an abnudance of rain aud we now have a prospect for crops so large that there will not be garners enough to hold them. Thank Hod, Nebraska is prosperous, alt though it has beeu blighted with the blight of populism. The passage of the tariff bill will give utw impe tus to every kind of industry in Ne hraska. He says Bryan's campaign like the spirit of John Brown in the •»»» goe s marching ou. Yes it is mar. siting ou down, down to its ever lasting defeat. When Holcomb was elected Uov eruur be was being credited with heiug better than bis party If that was Hue, we might all cxulutm, "llod help Ills party t,.*n.' The popniist l*gl*l»lure of last winter »ur passed all Its predecessor* la sesmes siol plodding* and manipulations to make the most of their |H>sat'saioit of power I II > put upon llot sta * tute (took *o salted laws w hish wtrl pa*«« d both huttees, but which In (the p- ptt st vomiulltevs cl 10 tiler <-n< * stir musIoI Is \d s ol* of s« l>woos ticl t|t. keif were resorted to The goteinor Item if under took to futt through a *t tee me for .■-.usling In iu|sMittt'>t< wa* sub willed to lUe lies tors Iasi Noiemhef for the iMtlws of l* ukliliunil fudge* of that tithnnni \\ k*n the tote* Wetw msslol tkii : tuition to ft oi*d ft he inwr whcitninglv defeated. Gov. Holcomb then undertook to engineer the pus- ' sage of a recount bill, in order to pul j two additional populist judges, one ; his former law partner, npon the j bench. It v.as indeed a rape of the 1 bench. One member of hi* own i committee whom he hud appointed > to recount the votes, reported a i scheme of fraud on the ballot box i Ile refused to take notice of it and order uri investigation. The recount ■ went on, vote* were changed, majo rities suppressed, returns misstated, urn! when they reached the end, they were dismayed when tncy found they bud not made the frauds large enough rbey found the amendment defeated by a liuiivy vote. This Is only one of the many oat ages attempted to be committed but I will not enlarge. I have lived in Nebraska forty-two years; have been its governor, and ( [ think have had the means of know ng something of the character of its people and 1 believe they know whal prosperity is and they are now n the enjoyment of it and they know whence it comes. Governor Holcomb will lind that I leeeption, false pretenses coupled with nice professions, will not go Ifitvri in tilth. wtfcl.* 't ill* Denote will dud him out. Very respectfully JOHN M THAYEK. Lust week we set forth a few facts regarding the tampering with the bc-udgatcs <»f the irrigating ditch , by tlie management of thy new milling company at Arcadia.
