Our Neighbor on the West Somebody is sending us leafl ets and pamphlets showing all munic ipalities and countries in Europe which are under municipal and government ownership are losing money. What the d 1 do we care what they lose ? Nebraska Liberal. That's it. What do the ranting democrats care what happens to the country if they can win the election. Back in the early } 90's they told us that it was the "rob ber tariff" that was ruining a hap py and contented people. A demo- ocratic president was elected and all the world knows the result. Four years later it was the "crime of ' 73" that was causing the dis tress of the then unhappy and dis contented people. The next presi dential election the democrats saw something else menacing the peace and prosperity of the country that was established by a republican administration on the commercial wreck left by the democrats. Now the democrats think government ownership and a frw other plati tudes are the proper thing. Sure enough , "what the d 1 do the democrats care ? " O'Neill Fron tier. tier.This This is the first time that the Frontier has paid any attention to our complaints and we supposed that we had not reached their strata yet and therefore ha 1 not provided ourselves against- garbeled at tack , as we have in some other points by securing a mailing list of the substantial people of that county and then when some under hand move like the extract taken above is run we throw four or five hundred papers into that county and we have known where it broke yellow dogs from sucking eggs. We reprint the article in full : METROPOLITAN 1'HESS CONSISTENCY Somebody is sending us leaflets and pamphlets showing that all municipalities and countries in Europe which are under municipal and government ownership are los ing money. What the d do we care what they lose ? There is an insidious motive behind this free education of misinformation which the people will watch. Municipal ownership added to an anti-trust campaign will make W. 11. Hearst the next governor of New York irrespective wf the actions of any or all political conventions. The same movement will make some mighty changes in our national affairs during the next three years. Just at present the metropolitan press is paying all kinds of com pliments to Mayor Schmitz of San Francisco. A few months ago when he was running as a labor candidate he was everything from an anarchist down. There used to be a saying in regard to the New York Sun that "if you saw it in the Sun , itwas soi" Now if you see anything in 'the greater part of the large dail ies , if they are treating on the question of property you are quite safe in saying it is not so. Buck in the early ' 90's the demo crats said it was the robber tariff , y.et when Coxy's army was clamor ing for aid at the capitol the McKinley - Kinley bill had not yet been re pealed. When it was repealed a lof of traitor democrats who after ward helped elect "Wm. McKinley emasculated the measure as Sena tor Aldrich has just done with the president's rate bill. Four 'years later it .was the crime of ' 73. History and facts prove the democrats were right in 1896. We have not any too much mo'iiey now and we have nearly 50 per cent a higher per capita than we had then. And before the next presidential election it will be demonstrated that the election of 1896 was not only bought with twenty millions of dollars , much of which was stolen * but it will be proved that another portion was stolen by the corruption of election boards which permitted repeaters and every kind of rottenness. It is indeed a sight for the gods to see this publication making a fight for the dear 'people. The old clerical axiom , while the lamp holds out to burn the vilest sinner may return , has at last been rewarded. What the d did this publi cation care for the people when it was sleeping with Bartley and Bartleyism ; what the ddid it . . * " , tL - { I. ti y care for the county when it was drinking with Deitrick and Deit- rickism ? Where was all this sym pathy for the taxpayers when he was attending Sunday school with Mickey and Mickeyism ? The Frontier has good reason to be alarmed. The § 1700 sinecure is in danger. Holt county was among the rest where the radicals pinned their faith on Theodore Roosevelt and where they received a stone for bread. The adrainis- .tration of justice will get some credit for the prosecution but it is all on facts and data furnished by W. R. Hearst that these prosecu tions are availing anything. Holt couiity will come back into line and it is this hand-writing on the wall that distresses the partisan * brother. Nebraska Liberal. Sparks Quills. Clyde Kuskie has been breakirg sod.

Children's day at Sparks Sun day. Come everybody. A number of our young people took in the reunion last week. F. Grooms was out breaking a young horse to drive Monday. Worth Holsclaw of the reservation - # vation was in Sparks Monday , trading with our merchant. A. Haley went to Norden Mon day. He is thinking'of going to Missouri in the near future. Mrs. M. J. Grooms and son William and daughter Miss Elsa went to town first of the week. C. V. Thorn and wife , who have been teaching on the reservation , are visiting Mr.iCallen and wife. A man from the Fairfield was in this locality- recently buying corn. Being unable to spell his name we can't tell who he was. Say boys , the Eagle has an eye to business. That's just the kind of a girl that we would like to have put her shoes in our trunk. C. V. Thorn and Curt Gallon drove over onto the reservation to get a horse which the latter had bought from Worth Holsclaw. Dock Grooms and John Thomp son drove up from Norden Sun day , the former returning Mon day and the latter going to Valen tine. Two car loads of of hogs were shipped from this locality Satur day. It seems that the farmers are coming to a realization after a long time. This also denotes prosperity for this neck oi the woods. The strong winds the past week have damaged the corn , which al ready was very backward , and now they are working on the small grain. There is only about three-fourths of a stand of corn southeast of Sparks. PORCUPINE. [ Please number pages. ED. ] Grading Cream. 5 The grading of cream is a live question , not only with the 30,000 dairymen in Nebraska who sell cream , but with dairymen in all the western states. The markets have been full the past year with butter of poor quality , 'largelv be cause creamery companies have been in the habit of paying a uni form price for cream , regardless of quality , and as a result seventy- five per cent of the cream bought was of second grade or quality. Beginning with the year all cream ery companies have been grading the cream and paying four cents a pound more for butter fat if cream of first grade - than for second grade. That this plan of cream grading is imperatively demanded and that it meets the approval of the high est dairy authorities , herewith is quoted a letter , under date of March 20th , written by Prof. Ed H. Webster , chief of dairy divis ion , U. S. department of agricul ture. The letter is as follows : "I want to most heartily endorse the move made to buy cream on a basis of its grade. To my mind the continued existence of dairy ing as a profitable industry to the farmer depends upon the question of quality. If the farmer persists in delivering a poor grade of cream it is only justice to him , and to his neighbors who deliver good cream , to pay for it just what it is worth and no more. The pernic ious system of paying the same price for all cream regardless of quality which has been the out growth of competition for business among the creameries , has resulted in great quantities of low grade butter being thrown on the mark et the past year and the Result will be the demoralization of the busi ness unless a change is made. Every farmer interested in the welfare of the dairy business should welcome the system of grading cream which has been adopted and give hearty support. I think it means much for the advancement of dairying. " The plan of grading cream , or at least the plan of paying four cents per pound more for cream of first grade , seems to have met the approval of a large majority of the farmers of Nebraska. In December last , seventy-five per cent of the cream bought by cream eries graded No. 2. Commencing with January 1st cream has been graded , and on March loth , two and a half months under the plan of grading , seventy-five per cent of the cream has been received by creamery companies graded No. 1. It is possible and there seems no good reason why every farmer JUST RECEIVED another carload of tlie celebrated JOHN DEERE Implements.
