oi0nS were uiecnarSeQ, makes IL reasonably
certain that he will nevermore return to
this city. Saunders is an old man, and a
SICK man. A few years ago, while absent
In Colorado, he suffered a paralytic stroke
from which he recovered only with diff
Guilty. He cannot endure high attitudes.
In the early history of Nebraska, Alvin
Saunders played quite an important part.
He was the first governor of the new state
and the last U. S. Senator before Mander-
son, the present incumbent succeeded him.
Saunders worked hard for reelection,
but the legislature realized that he
was superanuated, and dropped him.
Twenty-Five votes were all he could muster
and the owners of these cast them merely
to gain time during which to survey the
field and their own opportunities.
I.
While in the Senate Governor Saunders
was innocent of any accomplishment
greater than the engagement of his
daughter-a lovely and noble girl, by the
way-to Russell Harrison, who was then
the editor of a weekly paper in Mon
tana, and should have remained that. His
father, now President, was then colleague
OF Saunders in the Senate and about on par
with him in mental equipment. When
b. H. became President, Saun-
ders became a supplicant for Off &c.
1t is so hard for life long officeholder to
wean himself of government papl AT first
he wanted to be internal revenue collector
In Omaha, but the papers shamed him out
of it. They thought he had outlived his
usefulness and was unfit to perform any
more service. The President evidently
thought so too, and accordingly appointed
him member of the Utah commission.
so Colonel HOLSTER is dead Only q
day or two ago he walked erect and with
an elastic step, as though he were still
youth, among US, and now he has crossed
the Styx without word of warning save
that which the still sma' voice might have
given him as the grim ferryman was about
to lead him away. Colonel HOLSTER was
not on our side of the waging battle; he
was not of our mode of thinking, but he
was honest and sincere in his part and
brave enough to maintain It. At his bier
hood and courage.
May he rest in peace.
This is Valentines day. @ survival of the
Fifteenth century when spinsters and bach
elors were accustomed to meet in social
way, write upon bits of paper the names
of their lovers, throw them into basket
and then draw them out, one at time, the
person thus drawn being the drawers val
entine. That was in the age of chivalry,
OF knight errantry. In this prosaic age of
ours we do things differently. We buy
horrid print for 1 cent, that any court of
justice would declare libelous, and send it
to beloved nejghbor, with malice afore-
thought and anonymously.
Well, what of it? In the inner recesses
Of our heart we are better than the barops
and their ladies of the Fifteenth century.
There is more humanity in US and truer
nobility. We may do mean and spiteful
things sometimes, but on the other hand
we can rise to lofty heights without max
ing fools of ourselves. And as for love
Let the dyspeptic pessimist say what ne
may-more tender, more passionate
more sacrificing love never dwelled
on this earth before. We do not
wait for the 14th of February to choose our
sweethearts and lovers, by chance, but we
adore them for their merits and adore
them every day in the year. That is the
Am erican valentine.
Seven men have applied to the courts
for redress and damages for being chal-
lenged on election day and deprived of
their right to vote AS we understand it.
Their were fully one hundred and twenty
men thus turned back in the Fourth Pre-
cinct alone Why does not the rest
of 1l3 sue for redress and damages?
We do not believe any one of them can
make So, 600 easier than to get Judgment
against the election judges Or is the Sc
lection Of these seven men q silent admis
sion that the other 113 were hobos not
qualified for citizenship? The inference is
certainly reasonable and if that be the case
then the judges exercised com
mensable degree of discrimination
When so brazen and wholesale raid upon
the ballot box is attempted it is no wonder
that some innocent men should suffer with
the guilty. The curse upon the bosses.
Many heads have many minds, and here
is one head that speaks his mind out freely:
