Some of the wildest people in
town are those'you see with great
pretentious of being orderly. The
booming of cannon crackers and
shooting blank shells in revolvers
previous to and the night after the
Fourth of July were not celebrat
ing the 4th of July. It shows
only a'cfelSre to be boisterous and
noisy upon any excuse.
Terry's Uncle Tom's Cabin tent
show had a big crowd on Monday
evening. The public never ex
pects very much from an Uncle
Tom's Cabin show , but it in en
titled to something for its money.
A poor play and worse actors was
what it saw at Terry's. Not one
redeeming feature in the whole
show. Ains worth Star-Journal.
Terry's Uncle Tom's Cabin tent
show came and went. A big crowd
went out to greet them on a rainy
night , though this is .only common
at Valentine. They'll go to see
anything and pay better prices
than are charged else where. What
is said in the Ain. worth paper is
true and perhaps several reasons
might be given why this is gener
ally so. It is an old play that had
its star performers in its time , but
every feature that could be en
larged upon has been used in Un
cle Tom's Cabin until talent and
genius has been worn threadbare
and only the ridiculous and silly
imitations , distorting extremes ,
having neither enlightenemnt nor
purpose , can be offered , with now
and then a departure from the
former high class play and degen
erating into a lewd and ludicrous
stage performance of the lower
type and called special features.
Gov. MicUey failed to pardon
the two convicts recommended for
pardon on the 4th of July. It is
said that the supreme court re
fused to concur or join with the
other state officers in recommend
ing a pardon. The chief justice
gave as his reason , that the act ,
under which the governor was
about to act , was unconstitutional
because it attempts to deprive the
governor of power to pardon or to
limit his power in that direction ,
by requiring the approval of other
state officers , including officers of
a department other than the ex *
cutive. After receiving Judge
Holeomb's reasons , Gov. Mickey
declined to pardon the two con
victs whose names had been sub
mitted to him by Warden Beemer
with a recommendation that par *
dons be issued under the act of the
legislature authorizing1 the gov
ernor to issue two pardons on the
4th of July , The law says such
pardons "shall be issued upon the
written recommendation of the
warden , the attorney general , sec
retary of state and the chief justice
of the supreme court.5' Only
prisoners having served ten , \ ears
and ofpr are eligible" under this
actllegardless of the fact that
Jud c Holcomb has refused to
concur in this act and declares it
unconstitutional , the governor has
been urged to issue the pardons
upon liis own authority. It seems
like boys play. Even the warden
is anxious to have his pet criminals
discharged and Hay.s it helps in the
discipline to have these privileges
offered , it surely will not help
morals of our country to have

such fellows turned loose again

pdn without a promise of freedom.
The usual number of accidents
happened on the 4th of July. Look
at the eastern daily papers and
you will not wonder that there are
many people clamoring for sane
4th of July celebrations. An in
sane desire in some to be noisy
and boisterous while others are an
noyed should not hinder the people
from declaring by a vote in the
near future that a law should be
favored prohibiting the use of ex
plosives for celebrations except
ing under the direction of the
town board or mayor of a town ,
and then to confine the demonstrations -
tions to one day only , beginning
at sunrise July 4th and closing at
12 o'clock , midnight , of that day.
Let July 4th bo cnnvno'iorafofl
and celebrated but deplore ilie fact
that it is degenerating into a day
of wild ruffianism in which some
people take a delight in making
as much noise as possible , and an
noy those who do not care to take
part in the wild sport. Law and
order should not tfait while boys
run wild.

GRAND ISLAND , Xeb. , jny ] 2.
Ten youths were arrested and arraigned - .
i
raigned in the police court last i
night , one on the charge of assault
and battery and the rest on the
charge of disturbing the peace , all
of them the result of carrying a
,
charivari too far. j j
Mr. "Ernst Koth and Miss Elizabeth - '
beth Meininger were married at
the home of .tne bride's relatives j j
on the evening before. Justice1 |
Garn , who is at the same time the ! :
police judge , officiated at the wed
ding1. The party had just com
pleted the extending of congratu
lations after tlio ceremony and
was being seated ab a table to en
joy the wedding supper when that
which closely answers General
Sherman's description of war
brqke looe without. It appeared
that every tin can in the country
had been" mustered into service.
The groom appeared as Usual but
found the demands of the "sere'j
nading" party somewhat high and ;
undiplomatically suggested a
compromise. It was rejected in }
a manner to engender a spirit of
rebellion rather1 than conciliation
on rhe part of the groom. The
justice appeared in front of the
door , advised the youths to accept
t the offer and go their way in pence
'leaving | ' the party to enjoy the
privilege to which every citizen
was entitled freedom from such
Disorder. The youths indicated
that they knew who the justice
was but that they didn't give a
cent. The justice left in his buggy
to get a police officer and in the
meantime the youths became
busier than before. The groom
happened to be sitting near the
[ door and a big fellow named Mc-
j Card , one of the leaders of the
! party , grabbed him by a nether
I limb and pulled him out. The
j bride proved her new position in
sharing the joys and sorrows of
her liege lord by coming to his
J ! assistance. But she was rudely
I | handled also and thrown to mother
earth. The guests seeing how far
things were going , came out , made
a Japanese rush and cleared the
yard. State Journal.
The Democratic national convention -
vention met in St. Louis July 6.
| Our news from there at the pres
ent time is only as to preliminaries
1 and the probable candidate which
, seems to be Judge Parker of New
York. John Sharp Williams was
elected temporary chairman and
'made ' a lengthy speech upon tak
ing his chair. It is enknown what
Bryan will do , whether he will ef
fect a satisfactory compromise as
to party platform. Some say he
will _ bolt and nominate another
ticket called the "Independent Dem
ocratic.y& If so , THE DEMOCRAT
will not follow him in this cam
paign. We have cast our lot and
if We are bdaten in our choice for
president we will cling to our sen-
jtiment but abide by the decision
of the convention. Let majority
rule'or we are not democrats. We
can not say that Judge Parker is
not a worthy man and backed by
the majority of our party if he
gets the nomination. The VALEN
TINE DEMOCRAT will support the
regular nominee at St. Louis , be
lieving that the delegates there
have been regularly elected and
will have done their duty in mak
ing1 a choice.
