The recent pop convention was
presided over by the president of
the Comstock bank , and the res-
oh tions were read by the cashier
and principle owner of the An-
selmo bank. Yet these great
apostles of reform claim to be
greater friends of the laboring
c1a s than any other party.
We view 'yith deep solicitude ,
the losing struggle of the agricultural -
cultural class against their in-
evHable fate , under the overn-

In the face of the prosperous.

'l'he populist county convention -
tion in its resolutions arraigned
the republican administration
for raising the tax levy from
seven to fourtecn mills. But
thcy negler.tetl to state that the
levy was madc necQssary by the
previous l Vy made b.y the pop
administration being inadequate
to meet the current expenses of
the county. 'rhe fact that the
pops lowered the levy after the
election when the returns showed
a majority of the board would be
republican with the object of
embarrassing the incoming board
was not mentioned.
Custer county IS rapidly becoming -
ing a farming country , and the
.men who have the interests of
the county at heart are protesting -
ing against the use of a word as
'applied to Custer county farms
that suggests to them only sage
brush and long horned cattle.
"A quarter of a centure ago , "
says the Callaway Courier , IImuch
blood was spilled in abolishing
ranches in Custer cdunty , to make
room for farms , and while the
county is well adapted forranches
farms also flourish here. A ranch
suggests a semi-civilized condi-
hon , amI no one associates
ranches with schools and churches
and beautiful homes. You may
have a hun red cattle graizing
on your thousand-acre farm , bu t
call it a farm , and don't lead
strangers to think this is a country -
try of greasers and cowboys by
calling it a rancb.-State Jour-
nal.
Judge Brewer in discussing the
growing prevelence of lyncbing
argues that it is due to delays in
legal executions caused by ap-
peals. He recommends that a
good remedy would be to repeal
'the ' law which provides for an
appeal from the finding of the
( district courts in criminal cases.
Such a remedy might answer in
some cases where the community
lis generally law-abiding , But in
, the south where lynching of
ucgros for rape is so common the
public well knows that there is
no escape for a negro in the
courts of the south if proven
guilty of rape of a white woman.
Yet lynching of the supposed
criminal is the rule. If t11at was
the only offence for which lynching -
ing is practiced there might be
some excuse. But the practice
is becoming too general both
I north and south without regard
to the heniouess of the crime.
The only way to put a stop to it
is to enforce the law against
those engaged in it a few times.

The "refreshing" statement of
the Beacon is that "all the county
offices cost the county more under
a republican administration than
it did under pop administration. "
The salaries of the several county
officers and their deputies are
regulated by law. There has
been no law increasing the salaries -
aries of these offices since the
populist have ceased to control
the state. Only two years iu the
past twelve have the republicans
had a majority 011 the county
board. The wages of all class
except those lImited are fixed by
the county board. We challenge
the Beacon to show a single instance -
stance in which a county officer
or his deputy has drawn more

Custer County Is In the l'cnlcr lld
Lends All Others ,
The esteemed Kearney Hub
has finally been compelled to admit -
mit that Kearney is not the point
around' which the rest of the
state revolves. In its issue of
the 13th inst it had the following
under the head , "Nebraska News
Notes. " ' . 'The GeographIcal
Center of Nebraska is located in
Custer County. " For the further
information of the Hub we wish
to state that Broken Bow is in the
centerof Custer County.
Custer County boasts of not
only beiag the Geographical center -
ter of the state , but claims to
have more schools , more school
districts and more good land than
any other county in the state.
In addition to our own claims
the recent report of the tate
bureau of labor put Custe r
county in the lead of all other
counties in the state in cattle
hogs , horses and mules.
The following is gleaned from
the report :
"According to the report which
has been compiled from the as- i
sessors' returns , the number
of cattle in the state is 2,161,773.
Custer county takes the lead in
this species of property , having' '
78,956. Lincoln county foHows
with 40,477 , while Cedar county
in the northern section of the
state is third in the list with
38,702 cattle.
'While Nebraska is a great corn
state , the great excess of cattle
over hogs would indicate that
the grazing industr.r is still
greater , since there are 1,382,264
hogs as compared with the 2-
161,773 cattle. As to hogs Custer
county again leads off with the
largest number , having 42,548 of
that species of property , while
Cuming county , one of the oldest
counties , comes a close second ,
having 41,915 hogs. Richardson
county is third having 38,773 ,
while Platte county has 38,364
hogs , little and big.
Kimball county boasts of the
largest number of sheep , having
27,365 out of a total of 218,711
for Ule entire state. This is one-
eighth of the total number.
Platte county is again a ribbon
winner as the second 111 the list
with 20,275 , followed by Perldns
with 20,217.
The total number of horses
and mules in the state is 559,917.
Of this valuable species of pro-
pertv the largest share is agai n
clai led by Custer county .with
19,679. Custer seems to be 111 a
class by itseif , since the next
hi.ghest couhty is Gage cour.ty
with enl ) ' 11,838 : Saunders
cOl1nty claims 11,424 horses and
ntules. "

In the early history of the pop
party they succeeded admirably
by posing as reformers aud by
making declarations of economy
and reduction of salaries. But it
was observed when they were
el cted to ofIice they were not
different , frbm all others and in-
varibly demanded all the law allowed -
lowed them.
The denuciation of the republican -
can administration for paying for
a Surety Co. bond for the present
incumbent of the office of treasurer -
er is one of the hobbies on which
tl1ey again hope to fool the people -
ple and ride into power.
Their ex-treasurer , M. E.
Schneringer , who has been nominated -
inated for the positIon again
took the cue and stated in his
speech of acceptauce that should
he be elected he would furnish
his own bond.
From the resolution denounc. .
ing the republican adul1nistra-
tioll for pa.yiug for Mr. George's
" " " . . . . r '
,
. . " " . ,
t .
boud and Mr' , Schl1eringers state-
mcnt that he would furnish hi ! ;
own bond it is evident that in
both cases the object was to prejudice -
judice the taxpaj'ers against both
Mr. George and the republican
part ) ' for an act that ncither are
guilty.
Mr. George , before entering
upon the duties of his office '
secured a bond , as good as an ) '
perQnal ! ; bond the county has
ever had. ' 1'he board decli lied to
cQ'lSider ' a personal bond and requested -
quested the treasurer elect to get"
a Surtj' Co. bond , which would
cost' $285 , instead. : Mr. George
declined to do it. Finally a compromise -
promise was reached in the following -
lowing motioh , viz : "Moved by
Conley , seconded by Brechbuhl
that the county of Custer agree
to pay one half the cost of procuring -
curing a suret y bond for the county
treasurer elect for the year 1902.
The motion carried. " Just previous -
vious to this , a motion to compeH
the treasurer elect , to furnish a
Surety bond was voted down , the
majority \'oting against the motion -
tion were republicans.
The experience of the pop
board in realizing on personal
bonds of offiters of their faith
was sufficient to make them feel
tbat it woul be cheaper for the
count ) ' to pay for a surety bon
than try to collect from a personal - I ,
sonal bond. 14et that be as it
may. 1\'lr. George is not to
blame because the board declined
to consider a personal bond which
he had secured. The last bond
wlti h is for 1903 was paid for in
f ll b ) ' a pop board. If censore
is due , neither Mr. George nor
th republican party are respon-
siblc , as Mr. George offered to
furnish a bond without cost to
the county and the majori .r of
the present board which paid the
full amount of the surety bond
are populists. ,
1'he oLTer of the pop candidate
is made for political buncombe.
