Whipped His Wife.


Monday afternoon Constable w. G.
Olson arrested Nelse Oien at his home,
near Ogallah, on the charge of wife
whipping.
The case came up before Justice Hut
eel, in this city, on Tuesday, and Mrs.
Olien refused to prosecute her husband.
As it terminated, the case cost the
defendant about $3.50.
The affair, We understand, grew out OF
the conviction of Mrs. Olien that her hus-
band was paying too much attention to
the hired girl. Mrs. Oien's first impulse
was to get q divorce. After coming ia
Wa-Keeney, consulting counsel, and as
pertaining how long that would require
she decided to have as little cost made q
possible.

THE CHEAP COAT QUESTION

Thanks to ex-senator James o, Brien
for letter so clearly exposing the dis
loyal aims of the Democratic party that
Republicans may well use it for cam
paign document. True, it was written
for no such purpose: it was addressed
to Mr.. Randall as recognition of his
service to the Democracy in resisting
the Presidents policy and the Mills bill.
But the entire letter is, nevertheless, a
strong argument against policy to which
the Democratic party, in spite of Mr..
Randall, is irrevOcably committed 1t
was printed in the Herald Monday.
Said a Democrat 10 Mr.. O'Brien:
Il am not going to be diverted from
protecting my home and family by any
such humbug as the cry, You want
whiskey free and you want to tax the
necessaries of life." Nor will said he,
vote for candidate for Congress who
will vote as Texas and Kentucky want
him to vote. There they have black
labor, fed on hog and hominy, and am
not willing to help men into Office who
want to force me and my family to their
level,
This man strikes strong and hard.
But Mr.. O'Brien himselfis not at all be-
hind, and he warns the Democratic
party that the workingmen will vote
against it if the Mills bill is passed, say
ing:
They insist that out country attained
its greatness by system of protection
to our manufacturing interests and our
workingmen. To withdraw this pro-
lection and thereby cripple, if not de-
stroy, these industries, and reduce our
mechanics to the condition of European
labor, seems TO them to be great
wrong, aud many of those who earn
their living by honest industry say that
they will not submit to be robbed of
their employment, which is the source
of their livlieood. 1t cannot be expect
ed that they will vote for candidates
who seek to close their workshops by
changing our laws so that English man
ufacturers can send their goods here
and undersell their employers. 1t does
not require argument to show to the
workingman that he cannot get money
unless he can get work, and he cannot
get work if the mill where he is en-
ployed has to close; because what is
made there can be purchased in England
sent here and sold for less price than it
can be manufactured by his employer.
They say, "What does it matter if can

no money to buy either food or cloth
ing" Is it not better to keep in this
country what it costs to produce man
ufactured article than to send its cost to
England, even if our people have to pay
an increased price for the articleP'
This reasoning fits precisely with
that of General Harrison. the Republi-
can candidate, who insists that the
cheaper coat means cheaper man or
