Ollicial Paper Sherman County The calamity to tbe Cruiser Maine at Havana last week, ban increased the number of American citizens whose bodies have been left to decay upon the island of Cuba, by aboat 851. Tbe past bss been a continuous reign of terror to the natives of Cuba, and an ever increasing menace to life and property of tbe people, of tbe United States. Spain has never hesi tated to destroy property, and life as well of Americans, when she felt so rllariAan^ ah a fl/ivorrnmi nt liao born it with a fortitq.de that surpris ed even other Nations. In 1873, when she captured the Virginias and put ^ to death nearly two score of her crew, it was an iiuglish Man-of-war that stopped the masaere until the United States could be notified, yet an indemnity was all that was asked for the murder of our citizens. That island under the government of Spain has been, and is now, such a menace to our safety, and disturbing element to our peace, that cannot much lon ger be tolerated. Any other govern ment upon the globe, that had the power would have wrested the island from the turbulent Spanish Dons before this. We hope the Rubicon has been crossed, war we never wt-l como, bnt taunts, assassination of onr people, destroying of our prop- r ty, and heaping insults upon us that would shame auy people must be stopped. Yankee John is long seffer ing, but when that peaked tail coat begins to extend straight from the terminus of his spinal columD, ni d bis hair begins to start “like the qui ds from the bask of the fretful porcu pine” look out Sagasta, he’s coming. The pop legislature allowed Gov. Holcomb #1,500 house rent, and for several months he drew his monthly rents without swearing to the elairn and signing a voucher- Hut one day he was told by the proper official is sueing such paper, that he would have to sign the voachers as the law required, and as others were compelled to do. To this Mr. Hol comb objected, and rather than sign the vouchers got his landlord to pre sent the claim and draw the rent money. If Holcomb had a just olaim against the state, why should he re fuse to exchange his voucher for tha easb. J. M. Snyder, representative from Sherman county, when asked what he thought about the legisla ture allowing this renlover and above bia regular salary of #2,51)0 per year said that he thought it waa all right, as Holcomb was a poor man when he went to Lincoln, and that would place him on his feet. If Mr. Hol comb waa allowed this bouse rent oa the grouud that he waa poor, than it would he just ns fair, just as honest, and jast as right, for the state to pay the house rent of every poor man in the state of Nebraska. Mr. ILdcomb aught to he ashamed for having sigued tin* hilt that gave to him 91,,toll of the people's hard earned money, amt no doubt is, < r site iis would lit refuse to sign the vouchers when drawing the u. mtbit allow am a And Mr Srndt-r is no h guilts for listing stood up t’• th« legislative hills aud mini to p >ur the lasjmy vis bard valued dolisrs down Una »uoiuious rat li b' The teller ol I II llhlilvs lit I ■> p*p papets l««l sol, i» oae of li t uioat clever pfeegg of *UM »u»o» and straight out Working of th« syatpa thy dctlge aud topujuduv the atol of the other fell *w, that hts i« i •plea I liaoed i*t la js*p loio t\H no I weeks That Ite SV« * th> helot a I tag »a the wait is , ml til, hut u I kg »a teak- It w**ik t* tsti a ti dou'dvd Its H o,i* up in the p> i i 1st party the paeorausa of g>e*l deedi done by Kdmisten, since he killed the fatted calf at the foust in the forest, until he had the man that he promised a job (Simon) arrested, and then dropped the subject as satan did Christ on the mount. Hut it is supposed that most all populists know that Kdmisten endevored to kidnap Simon, b\ going out to Ituw sou county, and having a warrant sworn out for his arrest nnd having a deputy sher iff come to Lincoln and arrest him late in the evening so that he oould take him away trom home and friends, to be tried in a strange land, in a pop flowerbed, by daisies propogated by pop(jj seed that had been scattered broaduast some years ago by disgruntled democrats, and that Kdmisteo's friend, the populisi deputy hurried Simon off b) way of Omaha, to avoid habacs corpus pro ceedings, and ihut Simon forestalled a writ by furnishing the deputy a sufficient amount of corn juice to place him hors de combat at Omaha, and took the next tram for home. Simon is or has been’ a populisi heeler, and Kdmisten failed to give him what he promised him for his share in buliot manipulating, and he squealed. Now lro}e don't try to deny it. District court for Sherman count} opened Monday and has been stead ity grinding < very since. The first act of the county attorney, John Long was to dismiss all tiie criminal oases on the docket, and as slated in the motion, “for the want of evi dence to convict,” or words to that effect, The c five cases and the two Nichols and Wilson cases make seven criminal cases that have been dismissed “for the want of evidence to convict” within the l ist year, to say nothing of the cases dismissed before that. Iu fact we would need the aid ot both county attorney and his deputy to call to mind one single criminal case which ihey have suc cessfully persecuted during their terms of office, but in every ease brought, they prosecuted or rather persecuted tire prisoners at a very largo expense to the tax payerv, ouly to lot them go in the cud and leave mo county to loot tno costs. Ttia last two arrests that were made, namely, Dick Cole and Barney Smith for wheat stealing, turned out to he a lizzie also. The prisoners were allowed the freedom of the jail and so escaped, and the county will 83t tle the hill as in the other eases. The plaintiff in this case doubtless reooguized the iuibility of county at torney J. W. Long and his deputy M.H. Mathews to successfully prose cute the case and so at his own ex peusoemployed Judge Wall to assist them, hut all of a sudden the birds are gone and Mr. Slote has Mr. Wall to fee and the county will settle with the officers. These are mere examples of reform. Kx-Auditor of state Moore, was set at liberty by the Supreme court last week, on a technicality of the law. Mr Moore was fairly convicted on bis own confession, but the Su preme court seemed to think that a i technicality lu law, should tie consul j |mrumouut to a Mohft*8»i<)n of j guilt.
