Office is one of honor rather than emolu-
ment, whose bonds are large and wages
comparatively smalD, 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 ill-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.

An extraordinary horseless carriage,
which Is not electric, but propelled by
steam, is an innovation in France. II is
built of tubes, which are incased in a
light framework, and therefore, not seen.
These tubes form the tank to supply the
water direct to the cylinders, for there is
no boiler. The water is conducted into
two little tubes with closed ends, over
oil-lghted wicks no larger than those of
a duplex lamp. These supply steam for
the cylinders sufficient to propel a car
riage for four persons at the rate of
fifteen miles an hour over level ground.
and three or four miles an hour up ordi-
nary road grades. The wheels are fitted
with bicycle spokes, and have solid
rubber tires. A cOachman sits in front
before pair of upright handles not un-
like those of bicycle. with which he
steers. The first cost of these carriages
is about $1,000, but the kerosene wick is
a cheap horse, and costs nothing to keep
and little to make 60.

EVEN the Omaha Bee, while not ap
proving altogether of Thurston as U
S. senator, says that he may surprise
those who expect nothing but subser
viency to railroads and other corporate
monopolies."
John Thurston is 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 ht
is competent to fill the place. The onl.
question that We have heard raised is
Whether Mr.. Thurston will be homes,
with himself and the people.
He is an attorney, has had the educa
ton and the training of an attorney.
That he has been faithful to his en-
ployers seems to be beyond question, il
We are to judge by what he has done fol
them, and what they have done for him
in return.
If Mr.. Thurston has any fool friends
who imagine for moment that he is
about to be selected with such remarka
BILE unanimity as q. S. senator from
Nebraska because he has been railroad
attorney and because 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 quite 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 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 he 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 his best
talents to the country's good, which is
Il 4.
SO he will find richer reward than dol
lars and cents.
Pope's lines, with slight change, we
hope may fifty be said of Senator Thurs
ton at the end of his term:
Statesman, yet friend to truth. of soul sincere,
In action faithful, and in honor clear,
Who broke no promise served no private end,
Who gained no title, and who lost no friend:
Lnnobled by himself, by all approved,
Praised ard honored by the friends he loved"

False Prophet Again.

1t is about time that the New York
Herald gave up its business as a proph-
ct, for bigger fool prophet never
wasted printers ink. We eremember the
marvellous 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 tariff
question by Democracy was to work in
stantaneous miracles of abundance for
everybody, according to this fool proph-
ct. Yet soon after its pet bill to reduce
the wages Of American labor down to
the French rate had become a law we
find the following headlines in the un-
reliable sheet:
WALL STREETS SETBACK.
REACTION IN STOCKS FOLLOWS THE ENACT
AENT OF THE NEW TARIFF LAW.
NO INSTANT REVIVAL IN MANUFACTURINo OR
TRADE CIRCLES REFLECTED IN
THE MONEY MARKET.
The Herald can hardly be called one
OF Gods prophets of the beautiful,
but rather of the ridiculous.

Holt County Tragedy.

1t 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 charge of steal
ing $4,000 of Holt county's money, and
was sentenced to five years in the peni.
tentiary.
He appealed the case and was ont on
bail when kidnapped.
He had been into the country on a
visit, accompanied by his wife and
niece and hired man, when on return
ing they were waylaid, by party of
masked men, but instead of submitting.
the horses were whipped up to 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
have been organized, and Mondays Bee
contains detailed account of what
promises to be solution of the mys-
terry, the finding Of the dead body in an
abandoned well 20 feet deep, with the
water in it II feet deep. Further ex-
animation will doubtless develop into
the facts OF the tragedy.
Holt county is in great excitement
over the affair, as she may well he, and,
the fact of the great
loss of money to Holt county, the
murder is worse than the
theta double crime does not mend
matters particle. and more lives will
doubtless he 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
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 Nc
while he was choking Scott in
he carriage.

The Un-Americans.

The American people are the largest
consumers Of goods in the world; con,
sequently ours is the best market, and
naturally other countries are anxious to
secure as much Of our trade as possible.
We do not blame them for advocating q
policy Of free trade for the United
States. 1t is to their best interests to
do SO. But we do blame the men, born
In this country and claiming to be
American citizens and patriots, who can
with bold and barefaced assurances pro-
claim that a policy which they 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 decidedly not Ameri-
can patriots.

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 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
GUM, the Netherlands, with Luxem-
bourg, Switzerland, Germany, Denmark,
Norway, Sweden, Austria, Hungary,
Italy. Turkey, Greece and all the minor
states Of Europe, Russia alone being ex-
cepted from the continent. i; 8 y
The west has for some years been
acknowledged the great foOd-producing
section, as it has within it's 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-
button of the present generation in the
west to the worlds living, but it is not
satisfied. 1t 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 sees and realizes the production
from such a combination.
The east has so long regarded the west
as combination Of arid plains and 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 the west
is, in extent and resources, the greatest
empire on the face of the globe, and it's
voice will one day he the most potent
not only in Washington but in all the
world.

Now on Trial.

The meaning of the two elections as
interpret them is that the mass OF the
people are opposed alike to prohibitory
| tariffs and to free trade, and that they
demand system of protection that will
be equally beneficial to labor and to
capital. They will not he satisfied with
any system that permits 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
lahOrers ont of employment whenever
they desire to raise the price of their
product and gamble in their watered
stocks.
We 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
