Entered at the Loup City PostofHce for trans

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

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.’

Wood-Eating Mule*.
Mr. S. A. 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.”—

India the Land of Report!.
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.
