HAVE you noticed that delightfully subdued "still hunt" ? IT should not be forgotten that lands are a blessing to the people only if they are made as free as possible to actual settlers. IT would seem as though there would be no lack of candidates for congres sional honors , this fall. The "woods is full of 'era. " JUDGE DAVID DAVIS , the giant of the independents , died at his Bloomington , 111. , residence , Saturday morning , of Bright's disease. VAN WYCK is taking a "short cut" to immortality. lie is having his "phiz" displayed in the society journals , through the medium of the bewitching wood cut. THE question now agitating the news papers of the district is , "Who shall be our next State Senator1 And inciden tally from what county shall he be chosen ? THE royal family has been peremp torily ordered from France into exile. This arbitrary expulsion is simply an evidence of the government's weakness , and adds strength to the royalist cause. THE legislature of this state , this fall , will be republican to the core , and the man who expects to receive the support of the republican caucus must be simon pure republican beyond the suspicion of a Van Wyck. THE Democrats have settled the question in national finances , which ex isted under Eepublican rule , namely , "What shall we do with our surplus ? " The Democrats have disposed of the point in a characteristic manner. They have swept the surplus out of existence. WE understand that C. S. Harrison , of this place , has consented to the wish of his friends and will enter the race for congressman from this district. Mr. Harrison is a man with much ability and strength and with a clean record. He will make a hard fight. Republican Valley Echo. THE Helmet avers that Eed Cloud has "more fast horses ( but they were not entered for the June races ) than any other town of its size in the state. ' ' The lied Cloud "boys" will remember , however , that McCook's phenomenal 3- year-old WAS entered for their June races , and that the other fellows hardly realized that they were in the race. THE TRIBUNE rises to remark that Congressman Laird is loaded for such small game as Commissioner Sparks and Chairman Cobb of the committee on public lands. On Monday , Mr.Laird 'ouud it incumbent upon him to again , metaphorically speaking , wipe up the ioor of the house with these worthies. And it is related that after ' :0ur Jeems'1 lad done with the yclept commissioner , little was left of him , officially , but a 'ew old rags and an attenuated assort ment of bones While Cobb was so aadly roasted by our congressman , that 10 was glad to sit down , a puffing , red- aced failure. THE annual camp meeting , held un der the management of the Nebraska State Holiness Association , will be held , this year , on their grounds at Bennett , Neb. , commencing August Oth , 1886 , and continuing ten days. THE town of Akron , Colo. , was visit ed by a wind and hail storm , Monday evening , which blew down a number of buildings , besides breaking scores of window panes , pelting the crops into earth , etc. This chilly breeze , coupled with the "gold" excitement , has bestir red Akron from centre to circumfer ence. Oh , these advertising dodges ! WHILE candidates for county and state offices seem innumerable , there seams but one patriot who wishes to give Laird a chase for congress. The field is left , so far , to Gaslin and the present incumbent. The man who grapples with Laird must recognize the fact that he battles with one of the best politicians in the state. Holdrege He- publican. llox. G. L. LAWS , the popular regis ter of the McCook land office , is in the lead for Secretary of State. The Re publican Valley will go solid for him. No worthier and stronger man cnuld be selected from the republican ranks for that honorable position. Mr. Laws has filled every public office so far with credit and ability , and is known as one of the most polite and accommodating of public servants. He is dear to the hearts of all old soldiers as he served his country faithfully and left a leg on a southern battle field. His chances are very favorable. Blue Hill Times. THE opposition to Senator Van Wyck's return to the senate becomes stronger and more bitter as the time for electing his successor draws on apace , and the election of members of assembly will perforce thereof receive unusual atten tion all over the state. Granted that Van Wyck has ability. But this broad commonwealth contains others of equal , if not far superior ability , who can rep resent this progressive and growing state with greater credit. Others who are less tainted with the scurvy of dema- goguery. Give us a true blue republican , tins fall , and relegate"to private life the lofty tumbler and political acrobat. A return to old-time political honor and integrity will work a world of good for the party. A PLAY IN THREE ACTS. ( THE CENTUKV Bric-a-Brac. ) ACTl.
