Having sold my interest in The Tbibune to Mr. S. R. Moulden, my connection with the paper as editor has ceased. I have taken this step with regret. The people of North Platte and Jiincoln county have been so uniformly kind to me that to leave them seems like parting from family relations. In my heart I shall always cherish a warm memory for North Platte, and ever look upon the years I have lived here as the most pleasant of my life. I sincerely thank the people for the very liberal patronage they have bestowed upon The Tubune, and I am confident that under the new management the same will be mer ited and received by the paper in the future. "Very respectfully, L. A. Stevens. S. R. Moulden having pur chased the one-half interest'in The Tribune formerly owned by Mr. L. A. Stevens, who has so ably per formed the duties incumbent upon him, we desire to state that the paper will continue to give loyal support to that greatest of all po litical parties the Republican and that every effort will be made to .sustain the reputation which the paper enjoys, that of being the leading paper published in Lincoln county. We shall always have at heart the best interests of North Platte and Lincoln county and will be found on the crest wave of everything that pertains to the material advantage of the citizens of this fair city and county. In conclusion, we ask the hearty co operation of Republicans and" citi zens generally, and promise them that The Tribune can always be found upon the side of right and justice. Babe & Moulden.

It IS said mat parties are Tipcrnfiatinfir for the plant, and the Tinnpr mav be resurrected in a few days, although such a move is hardly tirobable. as the paper has been a losing venture for several years. The Kearney Journal says that while there were no planks adopted 11 i i ii I J ! m tne state xiepuoncan pianorm pledging the party to prohibition, yet at tne same time there were none condemning prohibition. It seems to be generally conceded that this question is a non-partisan issue. and each individual in the partv is left free and untrammelled to vote thereon as in his best judgment he may choose. There is but little doubt but what there were as many delegates to the convention who were in favor of prohibition as there were who were opposed to it. but aside from one or two there was no attempt to force the issue at all. An-appropriation of $2,000 has oeen made by the United States senate for the purpose of experi menting as to the practicability of producing rainfall by artificial means, and one of the plans sug gested is that of attaching twenty five pounds of dynamate to a toy balloon and send several of these balloons in the air, fuses being at tached to ignite the dynamite. During the war, after heavy battles, rain generally fell, and this knowl edge has suggested the dynamite and balloon idea. The experiment will at least be interesting if not productive of good. The arid lands of the West will vet be watered by some mechanical agency. The Illinois legislature adjourned Friday, after adopting a joint reso- ution submitting to a vote of the people an amendment to the state constitution by which the city of Chicago can issue bonds to the amount of $5,000,000 for the pur pose of aiding the World's Fair. The people of the state are practi cally unanimous in favor of the amendment, therefore there can be no further doubt as to the directors having sufficient money with which to make the fair a success. The site selected for the location of the fair is the lake front and Jackson park, and a better selection could not have been made. The people of the United States are deeply in terested in the success of the fair, and the belief is general that it will eclipse anything of the kind ever before undertaken. I Gothenburg Inpmt, r to MMMl. liia newtMper to mmmh. Grant McKnight, who will continue to make of it a reliably Republican paper. The report that is being circu lated to the effect that Congressman Dorsey has withdrawn from the race for a renomination is apparent ly without foundation, as it cannot be traced to any reliable source. The state Republican ticket nom inated at Lincoln ten days ago conld not have been improved, ex cept in one case. The ticket is worthy the support of all Repub licans, and if this is given there can be no question as to the result in November. The United States war ships Enterprise, Tallapoosa, Pensacola and Essex, have been ordered to proceed at once to Buenos Ayres, South America, to protect United States interests there, an insurrec tion having broken out in the Ar gentine Republic. President Habrison's message to congress on the subject of lottery legislation is timely, and should be acted upon without delay. The octopus has Louisiana firmly within its clutch, and it remains for a Re publican congress to give freedom to the victims of the monster by purifying the mail service. Dun & Co. report the business of the country as being in a healthy state. The business failures occur ring during the past week number 189, as compared with 109 the week previous, and 210 for the cor responding week one year ago. Surely the country is not so near bankruptcy as some Democratic ex changes would have us believe. Governor Alyik P. Hovey, of Indiana, declines to allow his name to be presented for the position of i n i n 3 commander-in-cnier or cne urana Army of the Republic, which meets at Boston in National Encampmen t in a few days. The Governor is very popular with the service pen sion men and would undoubtedly have been elected had he been dis posed to allow his name to be pre sented. The Omaha Republican for thirty years past a fixture in this state, has went the way of all things and ceased to exist, the last issue of the Japer appearing on the morning of uly30. The indebtedness, about $29,000, could not be liquidated, as the expenses of the paper had about financially ruined Mr. Wilcox, the principal stockholder. The Repub lican has been making a strong fight for the prohibitory amendment, and in doing so lost almost its entire advertising patronage and a large number of subscribers a great The Atlanta (Ga.) Constitution's attempt to induce the business men Lot the South to boycott Northern isdoetries in eveat the Federal elec- tic bill becomes a law it-being de nounced by the vanous chambers of commerce and the citizens of the -South. Governor Ross, cf Texas in an interview, states that even if a boycott was practicable it would be ruinous to the South, "because it would array the North and South against each other in permanent political, social and commercial hos tility. It would divide the sections by as clearly defined a line as the Chinese wall; it would withdraw millions of Eastern capital from the South, and destroy the credit of thousands of Southern merchants." Governor Gordon, the fire-eating Oreorgia Democrat, and the usually progressive Constitution are receiv ing a deserved rebuke. secretary idlaine, in his corre spondence with Lord Salisbury. England s prime minister, on the rJehnng sea trouble, made such strong and just presentation of the claims of the United States in he matter under dispute that the English parliament's call for the correspondence on the subject has not been complied with by Lord Salisbury, andjhe is doubtless hold ing the correspondence back until he can rack his brain for new argu ments. Mr. .Blame s action in this matter is at such variance with the policy of Cleveland's secretary of state that he is rendering himselt more popular with the people than ever before. Even the Democrats are compelled to commend Mr. Blaine s course. President Har rison's selection of the Plumed Knight was a happv one, as late experience demonstrates. The Western JDailti Press, a free- trade newspaper published at Bris tol, England, in its issue of July 4 contained an article from the pen of A. M. Beddoe, yice-president of the Bristol Emigration society, ask ing for cast-off clothing tor pau pers who were being shipped abroad, and the Chicago Inter Ocean has this to say on the subject: On the day in which Protestant 1 America was rejoicing in tne pros- Eenty which had tollowed the leclaration of Independence, and inviting the industrious and vir tuous poor of all lands to come hither and partake of it, a leading journal of free-trade England was begging cast-off clothing wherewith to hide the nakedness of men and women who are forced "to leave Bristol for other countries in the hope of bettering their for tunes." No Americans are leaving America because they can not earn a decent living in America. This country is not shipping paupers for whom "cast-off clothing is tries also, and pays a good price for it.

We make this sacrifice in order to make room for one of the largest and most elegant stocks of Clothing, Furnish ing Goods, Hats, Caps, Boots and Shoes ever brought to North Platte. We have a very large line of Boys' and Children's Suits . Which we will almost give away in order to close out our remaining Spring stock.

The editor of the Teibuite, after paying at the rate ot fro per dozen tor spring chickens, thought he could hardly give the farmer more than 2.50 per dozen. Again, there seems to be an arrangement between the merchants to beat down to the very lowest possible point the price of an article that does not go very readily, when they find some one at the town with such an article for sale. Another reason is that we can buy goods to better advantage at home. Many of the staple articles are much lower at Gaudy, and the market for hogs has been higher right along than at North Platte.
