THE appended , from the EdgarTi
is unfortunately the humiliating posi
tion in which many of the journals of
this state are placed :
With this issue we discontinue the publica
tion of both the pastor's column and the wo
man's department in this paper for good and
sufficient reasons.
1. Their continuance would necessarily
prevent our publishing , each week much news
of a local character of vastly more interest to
the majority of our readers.
2. We do not wish to be longer held re
sponsible for the opinion and public express
ions of others , especially when the matter of
our daily rations is so deeply involved as is
the case in this matter.
3. This is a utilitarian age and we are so
unfortunate as to be compelled at times to
view the affairs of this life from a bread and
butter standpoint. Many of our best friends
and most generous patrons are upon the op
posite side of the temperance question. As
we value their friendship and patronage we
cannot submit to make this a personal fight ,
nor can we longer permit the public express
ions and views of others to materially affect
our own social and financial interests.
4. Our temperance people lack stability
and unanimity of action. They are generous
of their applause of others but as a rule pre
fer to see others do the fighting and receive
the wounds"while thfjy occupy the safer posi
tions and contribute but little substantial aid.
5. We shall ever be on the side of right
and shall vigorously oppose everything tend
ing to endanger human safety or progress.
We shall endeavor to deal fairly and honor-
ibly with all classes and while we may of-
; en censureand condemn we shall do so open
ly and have due regard for the opinions and
convictions of others.
A DUEL was fought in Texas by Alex
ander Shott and John S. Notlj. Nott
was shot and Shott was not. In this
case it was better to be Shott than .Nott.
There was a rumor that Nott was not
shot , and Shott avows he shot Nott which
proves that the sliot Shott shot at Nott
was not shotor , that Nott was shotnot-
with-standing. Circumstantial evidence
is not always good. It may be made to
ippear on trial the shot Shott shot Shott
tfott , or , as accidents with firearms are
sequent , it may be possible that the
shot Shott shot shot Shott himself , when
: he whole thing would resolve itself in-
; o its original elementand , Shott would
) e shot and Nott would be not. We think ,
lowever , that the shot Shott shot shot
not Shott , but Nott. Any way it is
lard to tell who was shotNott , or Shott ,
perhaps Shott but probably Nott. Au-

A SHORT time since the McCook TRIB
UNE took exception to some remarks
of the Register ( made however , without
mentioning any names ) upon the atti
tude of the newspapers in regard to a
certain social occurrence. The Register
s glad to make the amende honorable
n saying that the position of THE
TRIBUNE upon the Jones scandal was
all that could be desired by the most ex-
.rerne . purist. The plea of the attorneys
'or the defense was an utterly shameless
one and one that every honorable and
mre-minded man and there are many
such must resent. Sutton Register.
MORE than five hundred thousand
cases of bowel complaint have been cur
ed by Chamberlain's Colic , Cholera and

agony and distress it has prevented ; the
lomes it has made happy ; the lives it
las saved , and you will appreciate the

OP course these late profuse rains
will excite more or less complaint as

) ut when the Journal has gone to the
work of organizing a high-priced and
expensive bureau for the purpose of put-
ing the finishing touches to the climatic
change which is fast redeeming western
Nebraska from the rule of the cowboy ,
t must keep the bureau at work till it
tjets the worth of its money. Topics.
WHEN a delicate and refined young
ady can get away with four square
meals a day , mount three different dress
es , read a novel , thump a piano into
ivsterics , take a bath , a stroll and a
irive , play croquet , fill a program with
lances and then flirt on the hotel piazza
with her best-looking partners , it may
> e that she can persuade her papa that
he is a fragile lily whom such scenes
an only wean from heaven , but she can
not fool her mother that she hasn't gone
through a day's work that would make
i city laborer strike for more wages.

JUST for a change , for the sake of
sweet variety , will not some Union or' '

battle that was lost through his unaided ' '
efforts ? Here is a vast and undisturbed

ivith the eyes of the whole country fo-
: used upon him. Macon Messenger.
