Even the Omaha Bee, while not ap
proving altogether of Thurston as a U.
S. senator, 6ays that he "may surprise
those who expect nothing but subser
viency to railroads and other corporate
monopolies."
John Thurston is a very able man, and,
so far as mental ability is concerned,
there is probably no man in Nebraska
who knows him but will concede that he
is competent to fill the place. The only
question that we have heard raised is,
Whether Mr. Thurston will be honest
with himself and the people.
He is an attorney, has had the educa
tion and the training of an attorney.
That he has been faithful to bis em
ployers seems to be beyond question, if
we are to judge by what he has done for
them, and what they have done for him
in return.
If Mr. Thurston has any fool friends
who imagine for a moment that he is
about to be selected with such remarka
ble unanimity as U. S. senator from
Nebraska because ho has been a railroad
attorney and liecause he is supposed to
favor legislation in favor of monopolies,
let them get rid of such notion.
John Thurston, employed to work for
a railroad company, is one thing. John
Thurston, called by the republicans of
Nebraska, to represent, not them alone,
but the great body of our citizens of all
political opinions, in their general inter
ests, is quito a different thing.
There is no serving of two masters,
and if in the guise of senator, Thurston
should really be some railroad company's
paid attorney, he would be acting the
part of a scoundrel, a shyster taking fees
from both plaintiff and defendant in the
same cause.
Thurston's success is due to his per
sonal qualifications and to his ardent
republican spirit, tested and approved in
many a campaign. To these ho owes his
political triumph in spite of his having
been in the business of a railroad
attorney.
He will be working for a master now
that asks of him that he give bis best
talents to the country's good, which is
but his reasonable service, and in doing
so he will find a richer reward than dol
lars and cents.
Pope's lines, with slight change, we
hope may fitly bo said of Senator Thurs
ton at the end of his term:
"Statesman, jet friend to truth! of soul sincere.
In action faithful, and in honor clear!
Who broke no promise, served no private ond.
Who gained no title, anil who lost no friend;
Ennobled by himself, by all approved,
Praised and honored by the friend he loed."
Wild and Wooly West.
Chicago Inter Ocean : "The Wild and
Woolly West" may be an expression re
garded as clever in New York, and yet
there are more men and women who have
been educated in New England and the
east living west of the Mississippi river
than are living in New York, and they
are spending more money on education
than the great Empire state and in all
New England.
The past generation included Ohio and
all west of New York and Pennsylvania
in the west. That would make the east
very insignificant today. But take even
the territory west of the Mississippi
river and lay upon the map of that sec
tion a map of the country east of the
great river and there will still be room
enough for the maps of Great Britain and
Ireland, Spain, Portugal. France, Bel
gium, the Netherlands, with Luxem
bourg, Switzerland, Germany, Denmark,
Norway, Sweden, Austria, Hungary,
Italy, Turkey, Greece and all the minor
states of Europe, Russia alone leing ex
cepted from the continent.
The we6t has for some years been
acknowledged the great food-producing
section, as it has within its boundaries
the greatest wheat state, the greatest
corn state, and the great plains on which
the cattle and sheep are fed that feed
not only the east but send meat to all
civilized countries. This is the contri
bution of the present generation in the
west to the world's living, but it is not
satisfied. It has reached out the hand
of engineering skill to tap the rivers and
make the arid plains and mountain val
leys produce the fruits and vegetables
of all the rest of the country, reclaimed
millions of acres from the sage-brush,
and formed a combination of sun, water
and soil that makes the farmer and fruit
grower of the east stand in mute wonder
as he 6ees and realizes the production
from such a combination.
The cast has so long regarded the west
as a combination of arid plains snd min
eral mountains that it has been slow to
recognize the real value of that great
section. Even Chicago, the great nerve
center, has not fully appreciated the full
extent of its pulse throbs, but tho west
is, in extent and resources, the greatest
empire on the face of the globe, and its
voice will one day be the most potent
not only in Washington but in till the
world.

Unit County Tragedy.
It seems that Barrett Scott, the de
faulting treasurer of Holt county, has
been kidnapped and murdered.
The first certainly happened him, and
the second most probably.
He was convicted on a charge of steal
ing $70,000 of Holt county's money, and
was sentenced to five years in the peni
tentiary. Ho appealed tho case and was out on
bail when kidnapped.
He had been into the country on a
visit, accompanied by his wife and
niece and a hired man, when on return
ing they were waylaid, by a party of
masked men, but instead of submitting,
the horses were whipped up to a run.
A volley from their assailants killed the
horses, shattered the carriage, and
slightly wounded Mr. Scott and the
young lady. The ladies were taken one
way and the men another. About mid
night the ladies returned to O'Neill and
two hours later the hired man walked in.
Since that time parties of searchers
havo been organized, and Monday's Bee
contains a detailed account of what
promises to be a solution of the mys
tery, the finding of the dead body in an
abandoned well 70 feet deep, with the
water in it 12 feet deep. Further ex
amination will doubtless develop into
the facts of the tragedy.
Holt county is in great excitement
over the affair, as she may well be, and,
notwithstanding tho fact of the great
loss of money to Holt county, the
cowardly murder is worse than the
theft, a double crime does not mend
matters a particle, and more lives will
doubtless be lost before the end is seen.
The World-Herald of Monday even
ing says that John Bradbury, Sam. Wal
ters and another man whose name the
authorities refuse to reveal, are sup
posed to be connected with the case.
The latter party has scars on his right
hand which were made by Miss Mc
Whorter while he was choking Scott in
the carriage.
Xow on Trial.
The meaning of the two elections as I
interpret them is that the mass of the
people are opposed alike to prohibitory
tariffs and to free trade, and that thev
demand a system of protection that will
be equally beneficial to labor nnd to
capital. They will not lie satisfied with
any system that permits a few privileged
manufacturers to control the entire
sugar production of the country, and
compels the people to pay millions into
their treasury, and at the same time
allows them without penalty to close
their works and throw thousands of
laborers out of employment whenever
they desire to raise the price of their
product and gamble in their watered
stocks.
Wo are now on trial in Kansas and in
the nation. We have a great opportunity
and we shall be judged with inexorable
justice. By economy of administration,
by wise, courageous and conservative
policies, we may commend ourselves to
public favor and our tenure of power
may be indefinitely prolonged. But if
we "prefer to perish by precedent rather
than 1 saved by innovation" our exalta
tion will be brief.
The issues of today nre well defined
and must be met with vigor. The ques
tion of protection is settled. Bimetallism
is at the front as the basis of a more
elastic, copious and stable circulating
medium. To this must be added the
establishment of justice in the relation
between employers and employed, and a
more equitable distribution of the bur
dens and lienefits of society.
The republican party is competent to
deal with these great, problems of the
present and the future, as it has success
fully met and solved the problems of the
past. It has a history. It has great ex
perience and trained leadership. It rep
resents the courage, the conscience, tho
convictions, the aspirations and the
brains of the American people. We shall

ultimate mission is to secure the indus
trial independence of a continental re

the young lady received a verdict of

CoHnty Printing.
The Journal is one of the four news
papers of the county selected by the
present county board of supervisors to
publish for them.
One county board is not constituted
like another, always, party considera
tions vary, chairmen vary, members of
committees are not uniform in their
knowledge of affairs, and thus it hap
pens that what constitutes publishing
for the county varies along with the rest
of the variations.
Sometimes, at the first annual meeting
of the board in January, publishers are
requested to present bids for "such legal
notices as are required by law to be pub
lished in a newspaper of general circula
tion in the county," and this would in
clude supervisors' proceedings, road
notices, tax-list, the county treasurer's
semi-annual statements, the estimate of
expenses, the notice for supplies to be
furnished the county.
Sometimes publishers nre requested to
place bids for publishing such legal
notices required to be published in a
newspaper, ana which are "at the dis
posal of the board." And it has several
times been contended that the road
notices, the county treasurer's semi-annual
statements (and perhaps some oth
ers that we do not just recall), are not
"at the disposal of the supervisors," but
are "at tho disposal" of the officer in
charge, whoever he may be.
The past year four newspapers have
been publishing the supervisors' pro
ceedings, and the tax-list, The Columbus
Journal, the Columbus Telegram,-the
Columbus Wochenblatt and the Humph
rey Democrat, each being allowed one
third legal rate, making a cost to the
county of four-thirds of one full legal
rate.
The legal (or statute) rate for tho pro
ceedings is three and one-third cents a
line, which gives one and one-ninth cents
a line to each of the papers mentioned.
Tho statute rate for the delinquent tax
list is 20 cents for each description of
land and 10 for each town lot, and the
rate to each paper is six and two-third
cents for land, three and one-third for
town lots.
Outside of one item, we lelieve, The
Journal (though one of the contract
papers), has been given none of the
printing at the one-third rate except
supervisors' proceedings and tax-list.
The road notices, etc., have been placed
elsewhere, as not at the disposal of the
board, whether nt the one-third rate or
not we havo not ascertained, but we
most respectfully insist, not only as a
tax-payer but as a contract-publisher for
tho county, and a business manager of a
business institution, that the county,
which pays the bills, ought to have any
benefits there are in competition, and
that public work is not a private clutch.
official printing.
People who observe business matters
in a business way and give any further,
penetrating thought to it will have
noticed that almost all the legal notices
emanating from the county judge's office
are placed with the papers of the county
judge's particular brand of political
faith. We would infer from appearances
that Judge Ilensley is a democrat, which
of courso he has a right to be, but, vot
icithslaniling, never the less, parties in
interest, widows, orphans, debtors, who
have hard work to meet their obligations
and can't meet them, and must submit
to be sued, sometimes having little or
nothing left, and they, above all others,
should have the right graciously accord
ed to them of making tho best terms
they can, at the lowest rates they can.
We presume that Judge Ilensley would
say he didn't care a continental where
notices are printed, just so the work is
done right, and we propose to see to it,
so far as lies in our power, that at least
widows and orphans, especially of the
poor, shall have a cut rate, just as well
as the county or the city, and then let it
le understood that the party in interest,
those who pay the bills, themselves direct
where the publishing shall be done.
Certainly, an official (and those remarks
apply to the county sheriff as well as the
county judge and all the rest of them)
has no right to compel the tax-paying
public, or expense-paying heirs' or
orphans to pay the highest rate that can
be by law exacted, when a low rate can
be secured that will be just as effectual.
Now we do not understand and do not
say that these officials fix the fees, but,
let them alone, and let the matter go
through the channels fixed bv them.
nnd the bills will come in at the full
legal rate, 10c a lino for the first time
and 5c a line for each subsequent time,
with 25c for each affidavit attached.
Here is a sample of what a little com
petition does for the city, and if it is
good for a wealthy city like Columbus
(which makes no deduction for a pub
lisher's occupation tax or his other
taxes and makes him pay as mnch for
water as do other people which is all
right), why competition ought to be
good for the lowering of expenses to the
widowB and orphans of the poor. Last
year The Journal printed the ordi
nances and notices of the city for 3c a
line, and one of our force attended very
nearly every meeting of the council,
almost as certainly as did any member
of the council, took notes of tho pro
ceedings, wrote them up, after which the
men of the office set them up in typo and
they were published, all of which was
done without a cent of expense to the
city. This year, tho Telegram, on a
competitive bid with The Journal cut
away down to (if we remember rightly)
Vi cents a line. They do not, however,
make a rule of attending the council
meetings, and our (at present occasional)
reports of the proceedings are so satis
factory that they reproduce them with
out having the labor of attending the
meetings, and for the publishing of
which they, of course, like us last year,
get no pay except the satisfaction of
good done "virtue is its own reward"
surely, in this case.
The point we wish to emphasize is
that the public should not be allowed
to discriminate against any newspaper
or newspapers on a merely business
proposition; newspapers should not be
compelled by the pressure of unjust
conditions to discriminate in favor of
rich city or wealthy county, and against
poor widow's and needy orphans the
Telegram or The Journal (or any other
paper in the county) can well afford to
clip some from the regular, legal, max
imum rate, if some method can be de
vised whereby the printing for county
and city, through judge and sheriff and
treasurer, and county clerk and district
court clerk and superintendent of schools
can be fixed at living, reasonable rates.
Let the county supervisors (whose
office is one of honor rather than emolu
ment, whose bonds are largo and wages
comparatively small), start in with their
work the coming year on the principle
that they are the first conservators of the
county's welfare; that, as it is they who
must approve bills, and they who must
order warrants drawn for their pay, they
have the right of direction and contract.
Let other bill-payers work on the same
principle with all the county offices.
Let us make Nebraska's motto, "Equal
ity before the law," an honest maxim of
conduct not only for newspapers and
toward newspapers, but for everybody.

au un-American free trado policy that
ruins American enterprise and checks
American progress. The Democratic
president's policy lias brought forth
abundance for the lawyer. It is no won
der that the lawyer trots out with the
importer to do honor to free trado De
mocracy. False Prophet Again.
It is about time that the New York
Herald gave up its business as a proph-
er, ior a uigger 1001 propnet never
wasted printer's ink. We remember the
marvelous prosperity that was to follow
the repeal of the Sherman silver pur
chasing law, and we remember the mar
velous prosperity that didn't follow it.
Still later the settlement of the tarilT
question by Democracy was to work in
etautaneous miracles of abundance for
everybody, according to this fool proph
et. Yet soon after its pet bill to reduce
tho wages of American labor dowu to
tho French rate had become a law we
find the following headlines in tho un
reliable sheet:
WALL, STREET'S SETBACK.
a reaction in stocks follows the ekact-
siext of the new tariff law.
no instant revival in manrfacturino or
trade Circles reflected in
the monet market.
The Herald can hardly be called one
of "God's prophets of the beautiful,"
but rather of tho ridiculous.

A CHANGE OF COAT.
The TJn-Americans.
The American people are the largest
coqsumers of goods in the world; con.
fleqnently ours is the best market, and
naturally other countries are anxious to
secure as much of our trade as possible.
Wo do not blame them for advocatinna
policy of free trade for the United
States. It is to their best interests to
do bo. Bnt we do blame the men, born
in this country and claiming to bo
American citizens and patriots, who can
with bold and barefaced assurances pro
claim that a policy which thev know
will benefit foreign countries must of
necessity be beneficial to our own coun
try. Such men may be American citi.
zens, but they are decidedlynot Ameri
can patriots.

The next day after the Maine election
A Democrat was standing by tho road
side when ho saw a Republican friend
approaching. Expecting to be gibed, the
Democrat began nervously to poke with
the toe of his boot in the leaves by the
roadside.
"What are you looking for?" asked
the Republican. ' 'Another Democrat, '
was tne qmcic reply.
