tThe Northwestern PUBLISHED EVERY FRIDAY AT THE COUNTY SKAT. OKO. K. BKNSOHOTEK, Editor mid Publisher TEKMS:—Sl.on p*r r kah. if paid in advanci Entered at the Loup City PostofHce for trans mission through the malls as second clans matter. The action of Gov. Savage in par doning Bartley the ex state treasurer was to say the least quite a suprise to the people. That Mr. Bartley was guilty ol a very grave oflense there is no doubt ano we are frank to say that the pu; ishment should he inflicted in commensurate with the crime. This m our judgment has not been done. Gov. Savage in his explanation made a clear state ment as to bis view of the case, and no doubt was deeply moved by sympathy for his family. Bartley has been sorely punished for bib crime but the fact that he absolutely refused to give any clue to the miss ing funds was sufficient to hold him for some time yet. He should have ^ been compelled to make a clear statement of it before be was entit led to even a consideration for free dom. The faet that the republican convention resolved againsj, and condemned Gov. Savage because he gave Bartley a parole is no good reason why he should not be par doned, although some of our repub lican papers seem to thing that such is the case. The Governor had a good motive for his action at that time aDd if he had not been iuterferred with by a lot ot sore head politicians, might have been more successful in accomplishing his purpose We say that Governor Savage went wrong when he listened to that pack of howling politicians at the con vention and did not carry out tbe terms of the parole, but in this the wood be leaders of the party were quite as much to blame as the gover nor himself. And now we find them jumping up all over the state using all kinds of vile terms against the governor. The whole thing is rotten from the head of the eonven tion clear down to the pardon. We were with tbe governor on the parole question but wc must condemn his action now as bitterly as we did the action of the convention. The cup ^ of bitterness is full to overflowing, not because it is feared that the re publican party will loose a few votes but because it was not the right thing to do. The republican press is bobbing up all over the state and manifest ing great fear about loosing votes because of the Bartley pardon. Of course we believe Governor Savage to be wrong in the matter of pardon, but we will give him credit for being right when he said that “no political preferment will deter me from doing what I believe to be right.” The new telephone line in northern Custer county is known as the Mil burn-Anselmo telephone lin? and is composed of btiisiness men of Mil burn, Merna and Anselno, and farm ers in the vicinity of these places and is organized for the benefit of the stock holders, not m a financial way, but foi their mutual benefit. The officers of this organization are C. A. Snyder president, W. E. S wen gel, secretary: Alvin Daily, treas urer. The line is as follows: From Milburn to New Heleua, 9 miles, New Helena to Anselmo, 7 miles, New Helena to Merna, 12 miles, a total of 33 miles. A line from New Helena to Gates, a distance of 8 miles is now under construction and a line will be built from Merna to Arnold, a distance of 27 miles, as soon as the weather will permit. The plans of building these lines are to sell shares for $10 each to persons living in the vaeinity of these respective lines until trough has been raised to complete them, after that anyone wanting a tele phone on the line will have to rent a privilege as no stock will be sold after the line is completed.—Sargent Leader. The following telegram from tic ► clerk cf the supremo court at Lie coin was received by H J. Nightin gale yesterday morning. “In cate of Johnson vs Sh'rnun rounty Irrigation Company, court or tiered reversal and vacation of judge ment, also devolves injunction and remanded for further proceedings — Lkk Hi human Clerk.” This is au-ase wherein Bob. Jobu son of the Arcadia Milling Co. injoin ed our canal company from taking water from the mill ditch which was secured as the right-of-way for the inlet of water to the main ditch from the river. • It was tried in the dist rict court of \ alley county before his honor, Judge Kendall and the Injunction sustained, and from there taken to the supreme court of the state from which the above de cision has just been rendered. But for this suit the crops of this J valley lying under the dicth might have been watered and the people of Arcadia and especially the Mill ing Co. could have abated in the profits of a bountiful harvest. It now only remains for Mr Johnson to “go way back aud sit down.’ DISSOLUTION NOTICE Notice is hereby given, that the partnership heretofore existing be tween Geo. E. Benschoter and Geo.

Harris, a grocer of Char lotte, has lost a mule and the better part of a delivery wagon. The wagon body was made of poplar. The mule wa3 made of just simply ordinary every-day mule. Tuesday night the mule got out of the stable and set about a task of eating up the deliv ery wagon. He ate the frame work to the floor and might have finished the floor if he hadn’t stopped long enough to die. Mr. Cam King, one of the orig inal Two Orphans, was at the old Courthouse when he overheard Squire Maxwell telling an Observer reporter about the death of Sam Harris’ mule. "I believe every word of it," spoke up King, "and I will tell you why. Mules will eat wood when they are wanting forage and can t get it (meaning no reflection on Sam). At Staunton, Va., during the war, 1 was in charge of the commissary wagons. We had plenty of corn for our mules, but for days thfcy had no forage whatever. Well, one night my mule ate out five spokes from a wagon wheel to which they had been tied. That morning I got a load of chestnut rails to feed my mules on and they ate every one ol them. Not a mule died. What caused the death of Mr. Harris' mule I can’t say, but I do know that my army mules were great wood eaters.”— Charlotte Daily Observer.

India is the land of reports. Thera •s a monthly, quarterly, half-yearly, annual plague of them. There is no country, probably. In which so many useless reports are written and so few read. In one province the chief busi ness of the local government consists in dunning its officers for statistics and reports, and in compiling from them volumes for the delusion of the supreme government. More than one-half of the time and energy of every civil officer is taken up in writ ing.—Fortnightly Review.
