The Editor Of the Beacon in Il Rage

The editor of the Beacon now
pleads the baby act and claims
he was only Joking" when he
made the following statement
two weeks ago, viz: 1--WE feel
pretty good, thank you. What
does II matter about the nation?
We have carried Custer county. "
Docs not that paralize you. Just
think OF the Beacon editor "jok-
ing" We had thought since an
irrate woman of this city so
severely chastised him with
raw hide in front of the
post Office few years ago
for his Joking" that he had
gotten entirely out of the habit.
But ii seems wonders will never
cease, and now we are dumfound-
ed to think he has resumed his
Joking" But see how he con-
tinues to joke. After leading us
to think he was only joking, he

all of a sudden let's his passion
rise and shows his ire by getting
down in the mire and shoveliug
up all the vile epithets that his
little pent up pod of the hang
dog look, for which he is notable
and hurls back Of his choice
vocabulary at the editor of the
REPUBLICAN,, with the venom
of a viper. Who would have
dreamed that he had such a
mania for Joking" But since
he gravely tells us that in all the
years of pop rule, i'll this county
the Beacon has not had full con-
troll of the county printing, we
are not surprised that he feels
sore and sad. 1t is indeed a sad
comment either on the party he
has been serving all these years or
on their lack of appreciation. In
either case our brother has our
profound sympathy. We are not
surprised that since he cannot
consign the leaders of the party
to hades, for their i'll treatment of
the Beacon, that in his rage he
consigns the soul of this editor
to the regions beyond, and APP
plies such sweet christian cpl
thets as "the miserable scayen-
ger, ""blantant hypocrite, ""pious
hypocrite, Snake in the grass, "
as argument. But we rejoice
with our brother that he is as
sured of compensation of bliss in
the world to come" even though
the soul of his opponent is "too
narrow to enjoy it," The church
and church work we hope bright
ems with glow because of his
sanity daily walk and brilliant
activity in the vineyard of Him,
whose admonition is to judge
not lest ye be judged by the
same judgment. Poor old dog
Tray has always had our sym
pathy.

ANsLEY, Neb. Dec. 5.-George
Porter, a resident of this place,
who owns small ranch five miles
from Litchfeld, discovered he
had lost twenty-five head of cattle
last week, which were taken by
some unknown parties. Mr.. Por-
ter Immediately traced the cattle
Ia Litchfield, where he found
that they had been shipped to
South Omaha under the fictitious
name of Johnny Powers, on Tues
day morning, November z. There
was a calf in the bunch which
the shippers left in the yards.
This calf was found where they
had left it and since had been
taken care OF by liveryman at
that place.
MIR. Porter has traced the
thieves, and suspicion points to
the same gang who are now
under arrest charged with cattle
stealing two weeks ago.
Two weeks ago John Chandler,
M. II. Huffman and r. Fox were
arrested on the charge of stealing
thirty-one head of cattle from N.

The U p and u. u N. Railroads Resist
Their Taxes.

state as we'll as several in Custer
county were made to believe by
the demo-pop newspapers Of the
state in the recent campaign that
the new revenue law was made
In the interest Of corporations
and that in fact, that j. n. Bald
win attorney for the U. p. rail-
road and Chas Henderson of the
G. 3. & Q. road had drawn or
dictated the bill in the interest
Of the corporations that was pass
ed by the republican Legislature
two years ago.
So strong was this belief that
they combined with the corpora
tion to defeat Gov. Mickey be-
cause he had recommended a new
revenue law and appended his
signature to the bill when it
reached him thus making it a
law. But those who read may
now see their folly and no doubt
will know more next time than to
put any confidence in the cam
paign falsehoods of the World
Herald, and "me too" sheets like
the Beacon who so lavishly draw
on their immaginatious for cam
paign buncome.
Both the u. p. and b. & NJ.
railroads had notices served on
W. A. George, county treasurer
of Custer county as we'll as every
other county treasurer through
which these roads pass requir-
ing them to appear before Judge
Munger of the U. S. circuit court
OF Omaha the first Monday in
January and show why perman-
ent injunction should not be issued
prohibiting them collecting the
county taxes against said COM
panies, in excess of 20 per cent
of their taxes in 1902.
This action of theirs not only
refuses the claim made by the
demo-pop papers that the repub-
lican Legislature and governor
were dominated by the corpor-
atoms, but establishes the claim
made by the REPUBLICAN in the
campaign that the fusion candi-
date for governor and the pop and
democratic parties were in league
with the corporations. Had
Berge and pop Legislature been
elected the revenue law would
have been repealed and the cor
perations have gained a victory
over the people. The fact that
the demo-pop central committee
sent $500 to the pop central COM
mittee of Custer county to use in
the campaign is another evidence
that the corporations were back
ing the fusion crowd. Money
was lavishly sent to every county
IN the state, where there was
possible chance to defeat the re-
publican candidates for the
Legislature. Did the pop
statesmen without a job put the
money? Is it not plain that the
same corporations that had Sc
cured Il temporary Injunction
from the federal court restrain
ing the county treasurer from
collecting only a.portion of their
taxes put up the money to defeat
The republicans.
Our prediction is they will get |
eft in that suit the same as they |
lid in the election.

Phil. Campbell came in Tues
day morning from Grand Island,
where he had attended a meeting
of the Grand Island Commercial
Club in the interest of the pro-
posed electric railway from
Grand Island to Candy. The re-
port at the meeting shows that
six of the townships through
which the road would pass would
vote bonds to their full limit, $40, =
900. Nearly all the townships
reported that individual stock
would be subscribed. 1t is now
proposed to organize a stock
company at Grand Island and
take in all along the line who
will take stock. 1t is now up to
the people along the proposed
route to say whether their desire
for the road is strong enough to
take hold and build it. AS Mr..
Campbell now puts it, lit is up
to the people" 1t takes money
to build a railroad, and now is
the opportunity.

The entertainment given by
the United Brethren Juniors on
last Tuesday evening at the U.
B. church was decided success
for the children. An old fash
Toned programme was rendered,
matched by an old time supper.
The stage arrangements were de-
cidedly pretty. The audience
was good and the children took
in over twenty dollars to be APP
piled on their new church organ.

Vuy Significant.

The New York Herald, which has
never taken sides in politics at 80,
early stage in q campaign, has de-;
oared itself unsquivocally for Park
or. OF it's present position, Collisrs,
which is favorable to Roosevelt's
candidacy, sayt: "Mr Bsnnett has
insisted and consistently acked upon
the belief, that the taking OF sides
wsakens such paper, as 1t sui.s Linn
to make. He considers 1t an advan-
tage, however, to be on the winning
side at the finish, aud it has bee n
bis custom to return TO this eoun-
try few weeks before D national
election and tell his helpers which
way to lean. So far as we can recall
he has not made . siugle error 10
forming this Judgment since he has
directed his paper. /. is certsirly
significant, therefore, thit he should
now cast his own precedeut' to the

What this action means We can only
guess. All we know is that Mr. Ben

that he rsslly thinks Judge Parker

The Republican papers are de-
lighted at what they claim TO be
aauoksafui'a trsaohery to the
Home Rule party. &H II the Repub :
licans expect that the promise of
thM appointmsnt of young Kalau-
okalani as SECRETARY TO Kuhio will
swing the Home Rulers into their
ranks. they will find that they are
very much mistaken. They are
perfectly welcome to count the two
Kalsuos among them; it is valu-
able aqd proper addition to the Ku.

they think, that by accepting the

Motley has any political sense and
a spark OF patriotism. in his breast,
and we believe he hes, he will steer
his cohorts into thu Democratic
ranks, and thereby crush the in
triguss of bis former allies, The
Democrats are not seeking for
alliances, which cAn bs obtained
only by the corrupt methods, used
by the Republicans in the K.lsu-
okalaui episode. but the Democrats
are ready to hail into their ranks
any good citizens, irrespective OF
political antscedspts, so long as
they feel confident, that the addi-
ton to the ranks is sincere and
ready to work for the party on
honorable lines only. Otherwise
the Democrats prefer to go it alone,

The Stars Principle.

The Star, which refers to Iaukes
as an irresponsible, unknowing
speaker, holds that the people OF
Hewaii-pei should elect a Republic.
Gao Lsgis' sture, because. according to
i,s phrophetic foresight, tho Repub-
licsns will win on the Mainland at
the coming election. The advice OF
the Star shows we'll the political
immortality, so characteristic OF tho
clique, which it represents, and
which is mainly composed OF the
rsvolutionists OF 's7, '93 and Of an
nexation fame. The Star does not
ask the voters to join the Repub-
liean ranks, because the principles
OF the Republican party, according
to the Stars ideas, are purer aud
superior to those of the Democrats.
II does not arge the people to- Join
the Republican party, because that
party is the salvation of the Republ
lie; no it simply advises the voters
to become Republicans, irrespective
Of principles, because the next Presi-
dent will be Republican, and there
will be moro in it for Hawaii, il we
have local Republican administra-
ton. The Star and the people for
whom it speaks are in politics sim-
ply for what there 10 in it, and We
presume that, il aDsmoeratic VIC
tory was an assured event on the
Mainland, it would rush ACROSS the
street to Republican headquarters
and cry out: .Boyl, we have sure
