There are only two or three news papers in Nebraska yellow enough to persist in the reproduction of Diamond Dick stories with Pat Crowe heroes to poison the minds of boys with crime. Thank God they are so few. A Chicago stenographer has had her employer fined $200 for making love to her "too strenuously". A little would probably not have been obiectionable. but SZUU worth at a clip was too much, and the drop fell. Fremont Tribune. George Williams who has been rec ommended to succeed the veteran Ne braska politician John Peters, as post master at Albion is one of Boone county's most able and progressive young men and ene of the keenest young men in the councils of the re publican party in the state. The modesty of A. W. Ladd of Albion prompts him to treat as a joke the talk of naming him to the high office of Governor. As a matter of fact few newspaper men in the state, enjoy the confidence of as many edi tors as does Mr. Ladd, and few men in the state in any walk of life would make better executives. Whenever he gets ready to accept a nomination to that high office we want an oppor tunity to start the shouting. Mean while we want to add our voice to the growing chorus which is singing the praises of that other excellent Albion citizen, Los Brian, for state treasurer. He who speaks a lie lives to see the day iu which that lie returns to the tongue which gave it life, and the taste it brings is always bitter. Tele gram. And Howard knows. When he penned these lines he was thinking nrobablv of that artistic circular en titled "Abbotts Last Lie Exploded," which he composed last fall the day before election, carefully concealing his Italian physiognomy behind the back of honest John Galley. And perhaps he was comparing in his ima gination that reputed v odor of the "Italian family" with the taste of the medicine which John Galley forced down his throat the next day in the form of the -'Galley affidavit". Our praying contemporary has risen to 'such heights of Christian piety that he opposes the "salary" system for the clergy and criticises the pastor, who accepts a "call" to a field of larger opportunity, because he says the minister should be above the . temptation of a "salary call". Really we shall not be surprised if our broth er in his zeal for reform, should rise up in behalf of the Christian church and demand that the lay members should be limited to ten-dollar bets in poker games: enjoined from pulling their friends legs, to cover jack-pot deficits; ad reduced to one quart of Old Crowe a day except on democra tic feast days. Mike narnngton may vet be re leased from the management of his western mine long enough to run for the United States senate, in spite of the Telegram's statement to the con trary, if credence may be given to the story which b afloat Simultan ous with the launching of the Fremont Herald the Telegram devoted several columns to the reform states-man-potitician from Holt county which the Journal interpreted as a long-distance senatorial boom for that gentleman. The Telegram promptly denied the truth of the Journal's con . elusions averring that Harrington's important mining ventures would call him from the state for at least a few years. .Now comes the story that the angel-winged Mike has all but ship wrecked his mining craft his fellow holders are about to tear off his man tle of power and turn him over to his friend Howard to be clothed in the senatorial toga. Mike seems to have had a variable scale of prices to suit the variows grades of his relatives and his frieaxkand it is said that while he was busy getting powers of attorney froM thota whom he had let in oa the "ground isc.im eavHo'hoW the management indefinitely, a group of Falls City stock-holders who had been paying in their hard cash as against the unpaid notes of some of Harring ton's relatives, got next to thesmoothe work and proceeded to get control of a majority of the shares in the Har rington mine. However, we simply started out to say that if reports are true, Harrington may soon - have an opportunity to run for the United States senate and display those quali ties of statesmanship with which he is credited. THE CITY ELECTION. The taxpayers of the city of Co lumbus pay out annually $25,000 to maintain all the departments of the city government. This large busi ness they entrust to several servants. And for assuming the important duties and responsibilities incurred, these servants are not half paid for the actual time the work requires. Therefore the citizen who accepts a nomination to one of these offices, especially if he is a man big enough and honest enough and broad enough to assume the large responsibilities imposed, accepts it at a sacrifice of time and money. All the duties of the offices are strictly business duties, touching at no point on questions of policy, which form the basis of political parties. There is no question of tariff or rail road regulation at stake, nothing out the question of a wise expenditure of the people's money for the things that go to make our city as desirable a place as possible in which to live and raise our children. To make the sacrifice and perform these highly important, but simple and non-political duties, the law requires us each spring to elect city officers. This election should be an easy matter, and it should be undertaken with the same deliberation and free dom from sentiment, with which any individual would set about finding a suitable employe to perform a piece of very important work. At the present time Columbus has servants whose record, taken as a whole is excellent. The payment of the peoples money under their direc tion for everything from the little thirty cent printing bill to the larger bills for street improvement, has beeu along lines of strict business economy, and the general welfare and public morals have been carefully looked after. What would the individual business man in Columbus do with an em ployee who had made a similar record for him in his private business? Sup pose some politician should come along and say to him, "You must change employes this spring, because our party organization demands that the fences be kept up." The politi cian would be taken by the seat of the breeches and thrown over the transom. And yet the politician and the fel low with the axe to grind are coming before the people, of. Columbus this spring and asking them to sacrifice the city's interests "just to keep up the party organization." The editor of this paper claims no higher civic motives than the average citizen, and it is not necessary to state that we believe in the party organiza tion in its proper place. But we do appeal to the people of Columbus to sit down soberly and do a little hard thinking before plunging this city, which now has none too much of busi ness unity, into a political scramble tended to benefit two or three indivi duals. Instead of spending-the money and time which will be spent in a party contest, how much better would it be for these same contesting business men, to get together and spend the same time and money in resurrecting our commercial club, and advertising Columbus according to its real worth as the best inland city in Nebraska for home and business investment? Both political organizations have planned for the contest and if there must be a contest, the Journal is proud to stand with the republican party which has adopted the direct primary method of nomination, call ing a mass convention to nominate its candidates, a large number of whose leaders placed themselves on record last week with money pledges for the prosecution of vote-buying and other forms of bribery at the approaching election. Nevertheless we would pre fer to stand with all the people of Co lumbus for a business administration with politics eliminated and we be lieve the citizens in both parties are making a mistake to permit the poli ticians to euchre them out of a citizens ticket If the party contest goes, it means not a contest for party principle, but a game which will be won by the fellow that holds the most aces. And the smallest ace in the bunch will be labeled "good government" The largest one will be marked "bawdy . v house" another "dtyVprinting" anoth er the "party fence" and anothe "the opening of P street." Will the plain sensible people of Columbus with $25,000 in their poc kets dedicated to the public good sit in a game with the professional poli tician who has up his sleeve the "bawdy-house" ace? It is not too late yet for a citizens mass meeting and we believe it would receive the port of a majority of both parties sup- OTHER EDITORS. VVVV Osceola Record: The democratic dollar banquet at Lincoln the other eveninjr was Jeffersonian simplicity bat MoKinley prosperity ' in fact. These patriots discussed saving the nation when the nation is today at the olimax of its strength and great eas and the zenith of tne prosperity of its individual citizens. It isn't the nation that needs saving so much ss it is the democratic party. 8t Paul Republican : Pat Crowe's release by a jury of his peers is hav ing the natural reaalt. Scarcely a niffht passes bnt someone is held up in Omaha, and thousands at dollars are being offered by terrorized busi ness men for the apprehension of cri minals. Probably not one of the twelve dubs who turned Crowe loose has sufficient intelligence to realize the gravity of the proceeding. Any one who justifies such a verdict on the ground that young Oudahy deserved kidnapping because his father was a member of the meat packer's trust (and this is the only argument that we have heard in its defense) is cer tainly not of very strong mental cali bre, it is as inevitable that suoh travesties on jantice should be follow ed by a carnival of cameras it is that those who sow the wind must, reap the whirlwind. P. J Barron in World Herald: The reform direoted against the violation of the Sabbath day by amusements, revelries of vain ceremonies is mani fest in itself in different wavs through oat the country. In one place the saloons are closed, in another place Sunday baseball is prohibited; in still another the theaters and concerts are closed, and in Wichita, Kan , a ban has been put on Sunday funerals. If report may be trusted, the ministers, undetakers and grave diggers of Wichita, appalled at the riotous ex cess to which Sunday burying was being carried by vicions or thought less cadavers, have formed a compact among themselves, each agreeing to do away with such frivolity except on a week day. So, in the future, if any inhabitant of Wichita should be so unlucky as to die on Friday, he will be given an option whereby he may either hurry up his arrangements and be planted on Saturday or take a stay of proceedings until Monday. . Of coarse, if he were inclined to make trouble, he might get out a writ of habeas corpus and bury himself. Hut this would be very plainly a resort to legal teohniclity and would be nothing for him to brag about. When a man has recourse to technical quibbles and underground methods it is a pretty aood sign that he is a dead one. With all the ministers and all the under takers and all the grave diggerstand ing together it would seem to be a pretty stiff combination and well calculated to impress upon the mind of every candidate for the Wichita boneyard that there is a time for everything.
