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.

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

a fact that while doing so these

the echo, and why should they desert
him now ? These populists are still

flcneral Thayer has *«ml the follow
ing letter to the New York Demid
LINCOLN. 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

: 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. Ed
itor Hay of the Arcadia Chmpion
took exceptions to our statements
and in bis issue of this morning pub
lishedau article in which be left the
inference that said bcadgate was tlie
property of the milling company.
The following letter by \V. II. Mel
lor, secretary of the ditch company,
has been forwarded to Mr. Day,
and is written in answer to ins pub
lication referred to:
Mr 0. L- DAY, Arcadia Neb.
Dkak Sih:
Having perused the article under
tho heading of August (i. in the
Champion and knowing that you are
desirous of giving your patrons re
liable news, in addition to standing
up for the town and immunity in
which you live, and doing that which
lies in your power to advance its in
terests, 1 desire to giro you some
facts whieii you seem to have mil
understood in your article above re
ferred to. The Sherman County
Irrigation Waterpower and Improve
ment Co. are the owners in fee of
the land on which their saud sluice
and headgates are located and do
not have to put their foot upon land
owned by Mordyku a 31 a nn ion in
order to open or close them. That
said company have had continued
and uninterrupted possession of its
riparian rights and the llowage of
the water through its canal for more
than two year* last past. That it
will neither allow *Uol>' Johnson
nor any other party the privelage of
tampering with its headgates without
tirst entering rnto au agreement or
contrast with it for such purpose,
and propose to stand on its rights
and treat all courteously and fairly
with whom it may do bnainuNS.
I also desire to call your attention
to fie# >o of tile irrigation laws of
Nebraska and assuiu you that you
will i»free with me in the premises,
that ‘ loud and long laughing" has
no edict upon the punishment there
l iu stated.
Thinking yon for championing
the cause of irrigation in the past
| and tiopiug for it* eonliauanec I am
