All the trade of all the islands will not pay for the life of one volunteer soldier. Is Judge Kinkaid , after having served thirteen years on the bench , still so ig norant of the law regarding the calling of a jury ? Before leaving this .week he made an order for the clerk to order the sheriff to call a jury. Had a jury been drawn as Kinkaid directed and the rapists convicted , the verdict would have been annulled bv the supreme court and the rapists turned loose. O'Neill Independent. There are 100,000 Englishmen in India , and to protect them there is an army of70tOOO , and these are assisted by 140,000 native troops. Imperialism is a fine thing. For 150 years England has been shooting "gatling gun gospel" into the Indians , and yet today less than 1 per cent have been converted. Imperialistic Christianity is a splendid t.iing. England controls the trade of > India , and brings her laborers into competition with the coolies. Oh , yes , imperialism is a fine thing for the la boring man. The Ainsworth Journal calls us a demagogue , because we published an item about the stock association which c-anie to us from a member of that or ganizaliou. Burleigli pretends to see "insinuations" in our little item , which nobody else can see , and thereupon pro ceeds to tear his shirt. This shirt tear ing process is a regub r thing with him whenever a campaign'is on , but"we'd advise him to not perform the act too often this year or he may run out of linen and digust his friends with his appearance. Wonder if he can see any insinuations here , and take a tumble ? The Republican hunted around las week , found a clean place , threw itself into a spasm and produced the follow ing originalV ( ) editorial : W J. Bryan , the only toy soldier the country ever produced , has discovered that he can secure more money out of politics and with less effort than he can in the practice of law. That is why he keeps everlastingly at , it , not for the reason that he ever expects to be presi dent of this gr at republic. It strikes us that Mr. Bryan's mili tary record is a great deal more honor able than that of Alger's , than EaganV than Carter's , than Shafter's , than a score of others whom the Republican shields. Why don't it call Col. Colton a "toy soldier" ? "It's an ill wind that blows nobody uobd " Last week we had the mis for' nine to pi a lot of type , and among the naiiy scintillating gems of thought lost t the world then , was a article which scolded Bro. Burleigh of the Ainsworth Star-Journal. We'ie triad that the ar i icle did not appear , because it might have hurt ou brother's feelings. And the provocation as so slight , too. A few weeks ago thijj paper published an editorial advocating fusion and plead ing for harmony. The editor rested well for a week in the knowledge of having done well , when his soul was torn within him by seeing in the Star Journal a garbled extract of that most eloquent fusion article which puts us in the light of being a middle of the ruader As we once before remarked , , the pied item told all this , and blamed our brother for putting iu in a false position bi-fore our scores of friends in his county. If we remember rightly Wf baid that no man of honesty would do such a thing , and compared him to some awf"l bad things , human and oth erwise. We said that such actions did not even rise to the level of demagoguery - uery , and that we supposed our friend the difference between right and wrong even -if he is a republican. However , the article was pied , and these things will never be known to the public , and we are glad of it Why are we gladV Hecause we are convi ced that they did brother Bur eigh an injustice ; had he intentionally placed us in a false place before the people , he never would have endorsed our article advising the breth ren to tote fair in politics. r * * ' . * v STOCK NOTES Northwest Nebraska cattlemen ought to have an organization second to none in point of numbers. According to the Stock Journal the raising of Angora gouts is about to be come one of Texas' most important in dustries. The Standard cattle company is un loading several cars of lumber at this place , to be used in making improve- ulents on their Pullman ranches The Whitman Sun. / We respectfully call attention of our stockmen to the fact that during the month of August just past more Mexi can cattle were shipped into the United States than were imported since 1895. The Northwestern Stockman says the sheepmen of the Sioux range have ar ranged for a meeting to be held in Fort Pierre next Tuesday , October 3 , for the purpose of organizing a sheep breeders and wool growers association. According to the Chicago Drovers Journal the supply of sheep and lambs has dwindled down considerably of late at eastern markets , which fact has a salubrious effect on the western trade. It is quite likely this condition will con tinue for some time as the eastern de mand is very good. The number of cattle in the country , exclusive of milch cows , has decreosed 10,00,000 head during the last six or seven years , due to a variety of causes. During the same length of time the population of the country has increased afr least half as much. These two facts alsne are sufficient to justify the belief that prices will not decrease for some time to come. It may be hard to convince stockmen that now is a good time to buy stackers or feeders , yet som of our most con servative stockraisers believe this to be true. It surely looks as though cattle prices can harclydecline much for the next three years , and a fall purchase of stockers especially is more easily nego tiable than to attempt a trade in April or May. Stock Growers Journal. The Whitman Run says that Dr A. J. Plumer , one of , the most prominent cattlemen in the southwest portion of this county , will erect twelve 16-foot stock tanks on his ranch this fall in or der to have sufficient water at all time * for his rapidly increasing' herd. One important feature of the item we notice is the statement that the Doctor will build the tanks of redvvpod , which ib said io be far superior to pine. There is a stock association in Box Butte county , one in Dawes , oue in Brown and one in Holt. Neither 01 these is strong enough to give its mem bers the protection they need and de serve , and U seems to us that it would be wise for them to get together and form an association that Avill rank with the best in the country. Each of the associations mentioned undoubtedly contribute to the welfare of their mem bers , but past experience has demon strated that a small local association is very hard to hold together , because the benefits to be derived are not commen surate to the time and expense involved in maintain ng an organization. Hare you not noticed the tendency toward consolidation i i all other lines : " A McClean , Iveya Paha county , was recently organized the Keya Paha river stock growers association , which is made up ot men from the Niobrara. upp.r Elkhorn , Ponca and Ke a Paha rivers. The organization is composed of some quite prominent cattlemen , who control about 25,000 head of stock. The offices of the organization will be at Stuart , and the officers elected are as follows President Chns. Tienken of Grand Rapids. Vice President M" . T. Williams of McUlean. Treasurer J. M. Flaunigan of Stuart Secretary Erhard Opp of Stuart. Executive committee Henry Brock- man and W. 0. Cowan of McClean Geo. H Lamoreaux of Springview , J Robiu&ou of Dustin , J. W.
