THE VAIENTINE DEMOCRAT
EOBEET GOOD Editor and Putliaher
W I a I
Official Paper of Cherry Coun
ty Nebraska
100 Per Iewr in 4frtwe
EUBLIbHED EVERY fHURSDAY
Entered at tbe Font office at Valentine Cherry
oufltv Jtehraska as Second chws matter
This paper will be mailed regularly
to its subscribers until a definite order
to discontinue is received and all ar
rears are paid in full
A good cartoon was that which ap
peared in the St Louis Republic on
February 3 It represented McKiuley
crawling out of a hole labeled Do
Nothing Cuban Policy and looking
ruefully at his shadow whick was
marked Mark Hanna
We forgot to remark last week that
Hon J A Edgerton of Lincoln sent
his regards to iiro Reinert by us
Edgerton is the gentleman who some
time ago accused Reinert of stealing
his most brilliant editorials and prov
ed bis accusation to be true
Strange things are happening Rus
eian war ships are passing through the
Xlarndanelles A Russian Chinese
treaty has been signed barring Eng
land from Port Arthur and
Russia threatens to oppose
England on the Afghan frontier A
Russian fleet is bearing 10000 Rus
elan troops to the far east And the
British Lion doesnt even make a roar
St Louis Republic
Germany has issued an order of ex
duBion r against American fruits
This is said to be done in retaliation
for certain discriminating duties
placed on some of Germanys exports
by this country Of course tne repub
licans in congress are wild at the
audacity of Germany in seeking to
protect her own industries but we
bve not yet heard of one of these who
lay the blame where it belongs on
the Dingley tariff It may be patriot
ic to exclude foreign goods from this
country by prohibitory tariffs and then
kick if foreign countries do J ike wise
but we fail to see where the honesty cm
-good bnsiness policy of the act comes
in at
According to Secretary Long of
McKinleys cabinet the republicans
will make their congressional fights
jShis year on the money question not
the tariff or Cuba or Hawaii or pen
siona or any of the old republican slo
gans In explaining why this will be
so the secretary says
In such an issue as this we shall
not only rally again the republican
forces but add to them as we did in
1896 all sound money democrats and
their number is legion whose interests
and whose principles lire for a sound
currency
-This is rich indeed Mr Long
must think that sound money demo
crats are silly fish to again bite at
pound money bait which so skilfully
concealed the high taiiff hook in 1898
Mr Long has evidently not been
reading the papers or he would have
long ago learned that the sound mon
ey democrats he figures so confident
ly on catching have gained greatly in
wisdom during the last year Whv
even in the Chicago Chronicle which
boasted of being entirely and alone re
sponsible fot the Paliner and Buckner
tickes a few months ago remarked
that any kind of financial legislation
would have been preferable to the leg
islation given us by tbe present con
gress or words to that effect Xo
nc Secretary Long the republican
party has made too man errors in the
last year to hope to win in the coming
congressional elections
Wheir Reinert said that this paper
or editor thereof at any time circulat
ed the report that the New York
Journal had deserted Mr Bryan he
wilfully and maliciously lied as any
one who reads our paper kuows
Utkmwnft n i
p TipWfTrniMt
With our customary cantlor we repro
duced a portion of Arthur MEwens
article in the Journal and explained
it Later we reproduced the defense
ofthe Journal itself in regard to the
article This paper tries to keep its
readers informed on what is passing
in the political as well as the commer
cial and social world and nobody but
men of small and narrow minds such
as Reinert think of censuring a man
because he is honest When you see a
man who is afraid to give more than
xraeside of a question you can know
that man is atraid of his position
ilEwens letter was- a straw in the
political wind which shows which way
the minds of a certain class of men
are drifting and as such it was valua
ble If we hear not the arguments of
the opposition how can we hope to
combat them If then we are guilty
of treason because we try to prepare
the minds of bur readers against the
arguments of the opposition by letting
them know what these arguments will
be in heavens name what can we do
that will not be treasou
By the wftv the explanation of the
JodmaJ reminds us of the firm stand
Jteinert took on the bona question
when be Baid te believe Cherry conn
tv nPPds a court house but forgot to
ay what ho thought of vth bondj
There was not a man in mo vuwmj
ihat thought we dujl not peed a court

Dissecting Table
M
About the worst piece ot biuewaiK
in town is that iu front of the Lang i
place on south Cherry street The
walk is horrible at this point and
should be repaired at once Ihe town
wants no damage suits
Otfing to an error made by the news
paper union which has causeii us lots
or extra work the subject which we
had intended placing on thi dissecting
tabiethis week has been put in the ice
box to keep tor our next issue e
dont suppose the lawyers will care
though
Last week the Dissecting Table
contained two articles uoui oi winch
were tilled witn facts and n thing bu
facts One descnoud the antics o
two drunken men whose names would
nave been published had we though
twould do good the other about
book which is published by a churcl
company As a matter of fact we
think the book was more demoraliz
ing to the community ttun the drunk
were but the difference in the concep
tiou ot trie two articles makes us ihtuk
that those who claim to be the bettei
classes of society could descend from
iheir pedestals and learn a few things
In the words of Henri Watterson re
ligion needs to learn toleration
Eli Precinct
We hear some complaint of cattle
dieing with the blackleg
I B Nichols was in Cody last week
doing a job Df plastering
Alf Dalgiin of Rockford was visit
ing at B Hunts last week
C V Thorn of Valentine was in
these parts last week in the interest oi
the Western ews
John Selder and Charles NiclmU
have been feeding their cattle on Beai
Creek the last week or two
Lee Sellers of the Rockford neigh
borhood stayed over night at I B
Nichols one night last week
Our local groui dhog saw his shadow
the 2nd if he came forth but we hop
the old tellow stayed in his hole
Stock in this locality is looking good
and stockmen are confident they win
have plenty of hay unless winter it
prolonged later than usual
Ye scribe was in Gordon one dn
last week but we did not happen to gei
any spurious nickles Guess the
machine got then
all
When a man in order to built a bus
iness and raise himself in the estima
tion of people goes out or sends em
issaries and misrepresents men eneag
ed in the same business for the pur
pose of injuring them and their busi
ness he is reduced to hard straits 1
looks that way to your uncle at least
