THE NORFOLK NKWS THURSDAY OCTOBER 20 1890
An Honor 10 Hid Coimly
Chris Sohavlnnd has male an excellent
olllcliil as clerk of tho district courtin
fact ho has made the host record of any
olork herotoforo holding the position
With the attorneys who perhaps come
in contact with the clerk more than
any other class of pooplo thosontiinont
regardless of party is that thoy would
not like to havo a ohiiugo Mr Hohav
land isa thorough conscientious olllcial
aud nn honor to the county olllcial list
liven the opposition press has good words
for him as is evidenced by tho following
taken from tho Times Tribune of Jan
uary I I Sill
Chris Scha viand clerk of tho district
court of Madison county was born Au
gust U7 IHiM near the city of Stavanger
Norway Alter having received a com
mon school education ho ontored a
Lilt in school at Stavanger iu 1880 and
having taken a combined commercial
and classical course graduated in 18811
after which ho continued his classic
study at said school for ono year Ho
came direct from Norway to Nowinan
Grove Madison county Nebraska in
tho spring of I88ll within ten days after
Ills arrival securing a position as clerk
in the general store of Geo H lrovliind
at that place In tho fall of 1887 ho
was olTored and accepted a position with
tho then newly organized Newman
Grovo Stuto Hank first as bookkoopor
afterwards as assistant cashier and later
as cashier which position ho held until
tho spring of 1891 whon ho resigned
and nccoptod a position with tlio Citizens
State Hank of said place
Inthosaino year ho went into the
farm loan and insurance business and
continued in said business in tlio year
1S95 In 1S88 ho was ono of the organ
izers of the Nowinan Grovo Improv
nient Society n building and loan asso
ciation and was secretary of said society
from the time of tho organization until
elected to his present olllco In ISCt
ho was the republican nominee
for county treasurer of Madison county
but failed to be elected In 1S95 ho wns
elected to tho olllco of clerk of tho district
court of said county and is now serving
his lirst term in that olllco
Tho Omaha Heo very frankly acknowl
edges the inistako it nnide when during
previous campaigns it lauded Silas
A Holcomb as the man who would
purge Nebraska of jobbery in tho
statu house and who would stnnd for
good govornient uudor any and all cir
cumstances Tlio Heo admits that after
a fair trial Silas has been found want
ing in overy ouo of thoso virtues which
ho was supposed to possess to nu oini
nent dogroe Says tho Heo During
tho four years of his career as governor
ho has had aniplo opportunity to provo
what mottlo ho is nuido of and he has
proved a lamoiitablo failnro in overy
respect Ho has oxhibitod a lack of
moral stamina at overy stago and sur
rendered himself to a cotorio of disrop
utablo politicians formerly disowned and
discarded by the old parties Instead of
oxercising his prerogatives faithfully
fearlessly and impartially ho has
truckled to corporate monopoly and
made reform a by word and reproach
The Hoe is now trying to undo the wrong
it did in supporting Holcomb in previous
campaigns and iu acknowledging that
it was wrong before it shows itself more
candid than most of tho politicians and
papers are especially during a campaign
Tho popocratio shoots aro trying to
mako it appear that tho president has
no settled policy as to what tho course
of tho govermeut should lie iu tho Phil
ippines The followiug quotation from
an address made by tlio president at
Clovoland does not iudicato that there is
any equivocation on this question iu the
mind of tho executive Tho problems
aro gravo tho responsibilities aro great
Nobody feols thorn moro than 1 do
And yet my countrymen our duty is
plain straightforward uumistakablo
to stand by national honor and preservo
our territory Our soldiers carrying
our flag in Luzon will bo supported by
the pooplo of the United States and
hostilities will stop in that distant island
of tho sea when tho men who assaulted
our lag aud our soldiers shall lay down
their arms Pea o will como nnd I
trust and boliovo come shortly and wo
will bo able to give those peoplo in tho
Philippines a government of liberty and
law a government which will encour
age their best aspirations aud their
noblest aims a government under tho
undispntod sovereignty of tho United
States
S L Gardner is a campaigner of
known reputation and he is proving
himself entitled to a record in that lino
this fall He is not only vigorous iu tho
work but clean and is making friends
wherever ho goes Pooplo aro surprised
at his vork and lie is causing consterna
tion in the ranks of tho enemy While
he has nothing but good words for his
opponent ho is winning many for him
self His euergy as a campaigner is an
indication of what ho cau accomplish if
elected to tho olllce to which ho aspires
aud there is no questiou but that he
will perform all its fuuetions in a most
satisfactory manner His opponents
concede that he is a stroug man and
that ho is setting them a swift paco
For the benefit of the Tiuies Tribuuo
and others who havo beeu criticizing the
career of County Clerk Heilrnau wo will
suy that besides his sons and daughters
brothers and sisters nieces nephews
cousins and nunts ho luri othors to
assist him iu performing tho work of tho
county clerks ofllco For all this tho
work will boar tho closest inspection
while his nnniiat settlement with tho
county board showed a nico little excess
of M 10 tho greatest over known in
this county and iu no caso did ho ovor
charge anyone mom than tho legal foo
This kind of a record is protty tough on
tho tux payers though is it not
Ex Governor Altgold who it is said
resigned his pluco on tho ways and
means committee that ho might devote
his whole timo to tho promotion of
Hryan s prosldontial cnndldaoy is about
to ilivado this stato to givo thocandidato
a boost Hols advertised to speak at
Wayne on Friday evening of this week
This country remembers Mr Altgold us
governor of Illinois refusing to protect
life and property in Chicago when it
was at tho mercy of n mob Ho is an
in runt demagogue and because of tho
fact that ho is a sort of a political curi
osity ho will doubtless draw a big crowd
at Wayno
Henry Watterson is a democrat but
he is moro than that Ho is first of all a
liberty loving American Ho has no
pationco with tho cry of imperialism
aud warns his party lenders- of tho suro
result of their anti expansion cry in
theso words No party in this oountry
has over yet thrown itsolf across tho
highway of tho countrys progress and
arrayed itself against tho soldiers in the
field without inarching to suro defeat
Tho bugaboo of imperialism will frighten
no ouo Tho mankind of the nation has
its face sot toward the futuro and keeps
stop to the music of progress
Tlio ratio between labor and silver is
also gradually widening aud tho fusion
istshave but little hope to strengthen
their cause by comparisons of this na
ture What will really become of thoir
campaign material by next year no one
can tell If thoir fiiond Aggy should
suddenly discover that Uncle Samuel is
as harmless as a lamb whon his gontlo
ness is not disputed they would iudeed
bo in a bad way and no ouo could sin
cerely blame them if thoy should resur
rect the old free trade corpse and inject
now life into it
Young Cornelius Vanderbilt has
recoivod a groat many friendly notices
during the past few weeks bocauso
rather than not marry tho girl that ho
loved he put up with recioviug only
10000000 from his fathers estate
Audyot wovo kuown youug mon
equally persistout in wedding tho girl
of their choice who didnt get ton mil
lion dollars
Tho fact that everything has an ap
pearance of republican victory in Ne
braska this year should not cause tho
party workers to throw aside their har
ness and tako it eay Keep tho ball
rolling and mako tho majority a largo
one so that thero will be no questiou
as to the sentiment in tho stato
Admiral Dewey has survived tho first
course of his enthusiastic welcome been
formally relieved from his ollicinl duties
by tho president aud uow ho will settle
dowu in the home which au admiring
peoplo have provided for him in Wash
ington whoro ho will tako a well earned
rest
All this talk about tho democratic
party handling tho trust question is
utterly irrelevant and sheer waste of
timo The trust problom will bo settled
longbeforo tho democratic party gets
near enough to any prattcal success to
haudlo anything
A conservative estimate places tho
amount spent by tho peoplo of tho
United States in attending the tlioatro
at not less tuan 70000000 nuuually
Whon Norfolks now opera houso is
completed theso figures cau bo rovised

Upon tho announcement that Pitts
burg is building 500 stool gondolas for
Egypt un oxohaugo asks What is
tho world coining to It is very evi
dent that it is coming moro aud moro to
tho United Statos for almost auythijg
it wauts
Mr Bryans attempt to mako it appear
that ho was defeated in Koutucky in
1890 by being counted out leads the
Minneapolis Journal to iuquiro if ho is
really desirous of becoming tho greut
American humoriBt
The United States is not buying off
insurrections Thero is only one way
for tho Filipinos to have poaco That
is by unconditional surrendor Its tho
old way Grant had and it still goos
With bank failures so raro that thoy
aro almost unknown with victories for
their favorite Aguinaldo as scarce as
hens teeth theso are iudeed dull du s
for the democrats
If anti trust laws would rid tho coun
try of trusts thero would bo fow of
them left by this time Thirty states
lmvo already pissed rigid laws of this
kind
Broom corn is now 100 a ton Never
theless the republican party is going to

Gen Lawton may bucceed Gou Miles
when ho retires
fractlcal Itcsiilt of the Yacht Knees
Tho international yacht races off
Sandy Hook havo demonstrated one
thing which is oven moro important
than the possession of tho Americas
cup nnd that is tho practicability of
tho Marconi system of wireless teleg
raphy Tho experiments were conduct
ed under tho direction of the inventor
Mmsolf Signer Marconi coming to this
country expressly for the purposo of
testing his system in reporting the
yacht races Tho results must have
realized his highest expectations as
they conclusively proved that tho sys
tem was practical at least for short dis
tances
With unerring accuracy tho Marconi
instrument ticked oh in tlio Morse
alphabet every change in tho move
ments and sails of the contesting
yachts Every lircezo was described and
every favoring wind that filled a sail of
the Columbia or the Shamrock was
flashed in wireless words to the shore
from Signer Marconis boat and thence
to New York city
Wherever the Marconi bulletins were
posted in New York tho public wns less
than 7o seconds behind the yachts and
iu somo instances less than HO seconds
In no public event of this character in
this country lias tho public been enabled
to follow so closely tho happenings and
movements of the participants
The system is by no means as intri
cate and mysterious as peoplo have been
wont to regard it Thero is no signal
ing in wireless telegraphy no flashing
of lights from point to point as ninny
have supposed It is tlio simplest kind
of Morse telegraphy except that the
messngo is carried on a vertical wiro
to such a point in midair as is neces
sary to deliver a messngo which will
produce without fail sound waves that
will not meet with interruption be
tween points of sending and receiving
Theso sound waves when transmitted
to tho upper ether aro taken up by a
receiver that is tuned to tho same point
of synchronism us tho machine which
sends tho message and are recorded by
a Morse ticker
Tlio demonstration of tho utility of
wireless telegraphy in reporting the
yacht races is a distinct triumph for
science the results of which are likely
to bo fan caching in the industrial and
commercial world So successful were
tho experiments that government offi
cials who witnessed them are already
advocating tho utilization of the system
in the operations of tho United States
army nnd navy
The republican prosperity is not sec
tional in its blessings The Greenville
Miss Times a local domoc ratio paper
gives this pou pictnro of existiug con
ditions there which can find its counter
part in ton thousand other towns It
says Gronville has never been so full
of life energy hope and business acth
as now Its streets aro crowded
with buyers and sellers its stores tiro
handsomely stocked with new goods
importnut public improvements are in
progress and private buildings and
dwellings aro going up on overy hand
That is surely a bright picture too
bright for the demo populist combina
tion to profit by
In the year ISOS this country exported
moro than 100000000 worth of metal
working and electrical machinery It
would bo a very dillicult and up hill job
to conviuco tho men who built thoso
machines the coal diggers who fur
nished the coal to run them tho mer
omuts who supplied tho groceries for
this army of employes tho farmers who
raiso tho products that tiny eat that
they had no interest in foreign markets
Any party which has tho audacity aud
obtusenss to oppose au extension of our
foroign markets will find that it has run
up agoiust a veritable stone wall of pub
lic protest and it will be repudiated at
tho polls
There was something of grim humor
In the offer of a young Hon the emblem
of British sovereignty by Cecil Rhodes
to the delegation of Dutchmen from
tho Transvaal who recently visited
Cape Town The gift was certainly
not in good taste and was spurned by
the Boers The latter however would
have had the best end of the jest had
they accepted the symbolic beast tak
ii It home and placed it lu a cage in
ihe public square of Pretoria that the
Boer youth might have as an object
lesson a caged lion
Henry Watterson advocates threo
things in regard to the Philippine ques
tion First fight tlio war in tho Philip
pines to a finish second establish order
iu the archipelago third create suoh a
government there as seems best to us
That is Mr Wattersous program and it
isatthosamotiniojustwhatMr
loy is doing Henry had better quit
domocraoy altogether nnd come over
where he cau be appreciated
Tho Momphis Commercial Appeal is a
democratic paper This sentiment
tnlyui from its columns will receive
wide endorsement from the voters of
the country The succession of Medi
cine men with their herbs and nostrums
has made tho democratic party which
thty have controlled for the past few
years the despair of tho patriot and tho
hopo of the charlatan andompiricist
If Mr Bryan had as much judgment
as he has lung power hed be all right
