Thursday , January 10 ,
Prod Whitney is working on the
Gordon Journal.
Some people blossom out for a period
and look as bright as sunshine can
make them , but tke first frost cuts them
down like a tomato vine.
Some of these would be real smart
editors ary very good at re-writing an
article so as to make it appear as
though they were the orignator of the
whole story , but thev will roar when
some one exposes them and watch and
wait for an opportunity to get back at
them. We have heard these soft heads
roar , before though , and rather take a
delight in twisting their tails.
botne Editors may be gifted more or
less with gab and gall but the one who
can deliberately , steal an article from
another paper to enhance his own pop-
' -ularity should be dealt with as tradition
tells , us that Texas rid her land of
horse theives ; Hang them ! Yes hang
them to the first'tree. But we suppose
some people who live on western prair
ies are not afraid as there are no trees
in some towns and the people are easily
deceived as they take only one paper
and can be made to believe that their
editor writes very 'cute things. Yes
the editors themselves , even boast of it
and of how they are deceiving Tom ,
John and Ned.
There is a great deal of talk just now
about talking down the fences built on
goverment land by large ranchers.
'
There is also two bills before Coug ss
for leasing the goverment land so that
these fences may be retained as former
ly. Some of the kickers about fences
will get little satisfaction from any one
or for themselves. We do not believe
either of the two bills that are before
Congress are practicable or suitable for
conditions in our state and.would . not
favor any bill of any kind'at present.
The homestead law will settle all of
these questions and there will be less
contention and more people engaged in
the stock business , more stock upon
which taxes can be collected and our
com munity will be better off to pay no
attention to.-any leasing bill. However
if the republican party" thinks it can .
build up a record by leasing the va .
cant goverment la * > d or passing a bill
to that effect , the VALENTI NE DESIO-
CRAT will watch results and we'll avail
ourselves of the privalege of exposing
the whole matter aswe sf e it. We'll
find plenty of help that will stand should
er to shoulder with us to fight against
these special privaleges that sells priva-
eges in advance for twenty years to who
ever can put up the money now.
There is no land in this part of the
country that the governmentwill ever

The following article from the Hush-
yille Standard "fills thebill" , in stamp
ing J. Sterling Morton's policy , as
wrong in upholding Savage and Bart-
ley. We think Morton's God is repub
and when the ' " '
lican politics 'conservat-
fve" is suited , Moiton's God is pleased
No one who has the proper respect foe ,
the Almighty would blaspheme his
name by authoritatively saying that a
pardon of the prince ot thieves , who
has uot yet shown the white feather or
that he was sorrowful un to ropentence.
would please God :
J. Sterling'Morton , one of the most
absurd republicans in the great state of
Nebraska , and whose scul is GO steeled
against the great mass ofpeople that he"
/seeihjjj / , 18
glasses , got off the following beautiful
effusion in his last conservative ;
The Conservative believes that ex-
State Treasurer Hartley ought to be
pardoned. He has suffered enough !
Justice has been appeased. Further
punishment for this mis-influenced ,
mal-guided man is mere savagery. It
is brutal vengeance. It is not civilized
Christianity- is pagan barbarity.
It ib cruelty to his devoted wife and
unhappy children.t
An executive with moral courage
and conscience enough to let him out
by a free and full pardon would suit
the Conservative and please God !
Since the above was in type Govern
or Savage has "filled the bill.7
i7es , Sayage has "filled the bill" and
the conservative is suited , but we
doubt if God is'pleased. The Almighty
believes in rendering unto Caesar the
'things that are Caesar's , and Bartiey's
stealing has been sanctioned by such
palavers as J. Sterling Morton , which
is contrat y to the teachings of the Di
vine Spirit. God has no mercy or
sympathy for rogues , thugs .nor mur
derers , but on the contrary will meet
out justice , regardless .of devoted wives
and unhappy children. Such doctrine
as the Conservative advocate is the
slogan that creates political thieves and
murderers.There are very few men
but what would be willing to attend
the flower beds of the Nebraska state
penitentiary for'the neat sum of $150-
000 a ear , provided they could , like
Bartley , be banqueted by most of the
rag-tag and bob-tail aristocratic poli
ticians of the state after the job was
finished.
State Deputy Edward Walsh' of the
W. O. W. has .been in our city the
past week looking after the interests of
our local camp offthe Woodmen of the
World. Mr. Walsh is an interesting
man to converse with and comes high
ly recommended by his home lodge of
Knights of L'ythias of which he is the
second year chancellor commander.
Mr. Walsh visited the lodge at ths
place Tuesday night and gave the
members a little talk which was ap
preciated. We clip the following from
'Nebraska No. 1 K of P Lodge Bulletin :
It is an old saying that "Honest ef
fort , and duty well done brings its own'
reward. " While at times thismaj.be
questioned , it as a rule holds good , as
was well proven by the re-election of
Bro. Edw. Walsh forChanchelor Com
mander at our recent election. A year
ago , when Bro. Walsh was elected C.
C. of Nebraska No. 1 , from the Pre
late's chair , it was , to use his own ex
pression , ' * the proudest moment of his
life. " To his credit it must be said
that the past year no member worked
harder for the good of the .Lodge'than
he did. He performed his duties as he
saw them with a whole heart. To such
an extent was this recoguized and ap
preciated by the members that he was
the unanimous choice for re-election ,
againsi his own wishes Elected , how
ever , he accepts and it goes without
saying that Nebraska No , 1's path for
the coming year will be onward and
upward. Bro. Walsh was born at St.
Louis in 1S5G. , ' His schooling was had
in that bailiwick and at the age of 17
he was' apprenticed to the bricklayer's
.trade. In 1873 he came to Omaha ,
.where he continued in. that vocation.
In ' 90 he entered ths insurance office
of a former member of No..l , Bro.
Koeker , eventually succeeding him in
the firm , of Walsh & Pumpelley. , Since
Bro. Pumptlley'sremovarfrom the city.
he has represented his insurance lines
alone. In a .social way , "Ed" as he is
commonly known ; is .a prince of good
fellows. By nature of social disposition ,
generous , outspokeii and while at times
a little brusque , he is ever ready to re
tract an error , and those who know
him best admire him the most. That
he will aim "to keep No * 1 on 'the up
permost round of the ladder goes with
out saying , and the Bulletin bespeaks
for him and the Lodge a pr speroin
term.
