What has become of the popu lists? Their total vote in this state was barely 20,000 for Watson, as against 51,876 cast for Parker. Oh, how are the mighty fallen! West Point, this state, was visit ed by an earthquake, Dec. 1st, it is reported. The reason easily as signed is that ex Deputy Oil Inspec tor Sonneschein had partially awak ened from the shock caused by the election of Mickey and had regis tered a spasmodic kick. It was a har<i blow to “Sunshine.” It is reported Gov. Mickey has agreed to lay aside his religious pre judices long enough to lead the grand procession at the inaugural ball. If so, he is simply following a time-honored custom of the gov ernor’s station, and setting aside his pesouality for the time. But just hear the jackal roar of the opposi tion press over it. Anything to beef about, is their slogan. The late Adjutant General Colby seams perpetually in the soup of late in regard to his ministrations iD that office. lie i o sooner gets out of one bowl till he falls in another. He is now up against another charge ol pocketing premiums on state warrants. He doesn't dtny the soft impeachment, but claims other state officials were in the habit of doing the same, and the intimation is that he will have other officials investi gated, if he has to cough up. Let the coughing up process proceed, no matter whose palate is tickled. The Shelton Clipper tells of the robbery of a man’s house near Shel ton, a short time since, in which notes and papers to the value of nearly a thousand dollars were tak en. They were afterwards recov ered, but that didn't end it When the assessor had been around the man had apparently forgotten to give them in When the news of the robbery floated to the ears of the cruel assessor he made a mental note of the fact, and when said col latteral had found its way back to the owner, the assessor individual had the man “dig up” that much more. Who says that robber was not a public benefactor(!) Last week we copied an article on “Cheaper Coal” from the St. Paul Republican, and taken by that paper from the Kearney Democrat. “Them's our sentiments, too,” and we believe if the press in the regions of high-priced coal will as a unit ag itate this question, the sentiment can be made strong enough to force the railroads into justice for their interior of the state patrons, and if not, then by process of law see it done through those channels Is there any justice in Omaha getting Wyoming coal for a third less than we, and with a 200-mile further haul? Here’s a chance for the pop ulist press to howl to some purpose. Will they do so, or are they afraid of losing their mileage books? Deputy State Auditor Anthes in preparing trie auditor’s report for the biennium shows that enough old tixes are due the state from certain counties to wipe out the entire state debt. There are some thirty coun ties in the bunch, Lancaster leading with nearly *100,000, Otoe next with a little over *09,000, Holt county, poor old pop ridden, Mike Harrington bossed, following close with *30,000 and over old and un collected taxes due the state. It is expected most of this will be col lected under the scavenger law. But that Holt, the home of Reform er Mike, who will not even allow his pure eyes to dwell on a bit of paste board with “pass” printed thereon should allow his county, or was his till Nov. 8, to “pass” in this class is heartrending. P. S. Sherman coun ty is not in the bunch. Nearly Fatal Aeeident. Little Albert, Il-year-old son of D M. Gue, nearly lost his life, on Tuesday evening of this week from the kick of a horse, cutting a gash in his left temple, aod leaving him in an almost lifeless condition. The little fellow was playing about the yard and got too close to the heels ot the animal, which without warn gave him the almost fatal blow. Dif! Maiu was hastily summoned and sewed up the ghastly wound, but so utterly unconscious was the little sufferer, that the stitchec were tak en without causing a wince of pain and without chloroform. At this writing, Thursday, he is seemingly getting along well. Messages were dispatched to Mrs. Geo. R. Reed of York, sister of Mr. Gue, and to Mrs. Frank May of Central City, mother of Mrs. Gue, which brought both of those ladies last evening, to assist the distracted parents in caring for their darling boy. More Cattle Stealing. Last week we published an arti tiele taken from the Arcadia Cham pion on extensive cattle rustling at or near Ansley. Now comes fur ther news of cattle rustling from the same point. George Porter, a resident of Ansley, owning a ranch some five miles from Litchfield last week discovered be had lost twenty five head of cattle, which had been taken by unknown parties. He traced the cattle to Litchfield where he found they had been shipped to South Omaha under the fictitious name of Johnny Powers, on Tues day morning, Nov. 7. Mr. Porter has traced the thieves, and suspicion points to the same gang now under arrest charged with the first named cattle steabng. The St. Louis exposition closed at midnight on Nov. 30. Next comes the Portland, Oregon, expo. It seems the U. P. has joined the Burlington in an effort to evade a portion of the taxes assessed them under the new revenue law. The Northwestern and the Milwaukee, on the contrary, have paid their taxes as assessed. That the two roads are trying to escape a portion of their taxation there is no doubt, but that they will succeed we do not for one moment believe. Why will the opposition press try to cre ate a false impression by publishing such misleading items as the follow ing taken from the St. Paul Press: ‘The railroads only paid two-thirds of wrhat was charged to them.” It is not fair, it is not honest, it is mis leading, it is sheer political bun combe, to publish such a statement as lies within the enclosed quotation. A paper should deal fairly with its readers. Railroads Begin Bucking. The following, received by Treas urer Sweetland last week, explains itself, and shows the B. M. and U. P. are industriously engaged m kicking against the pricks. Treas urer Sweetland has also been sub poenaed in the matter, to appear at Omaha the first of January : Omaha, Nebr. 11-30.’04. S. N.
