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

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
