I By F. IV ! . KIMMELL.
I OUR NINTH ANNIVERSARY.
I With present issue The Mc-
I Cook Weekly Tribune turns its
I eighth mile-stone and enters upon
I
the ninth year o its existence.
I Established at the birth o Mc-
I Coolc , it has at least kept pace
I with the growth and development
of the city and county. It has
I been the publisher's ambition , to
I give the people a clean , readable ,
I newsy local newspaper. To be ac-
I tuated by generous motives and
I clean ; to act in a broad spirit o
I impartiality and fairness ; to be on
the side of right and against wrong
I in its multi-forms. In so far as
we have succeeded , is our reward.
We feel encouraged to continue
along the same line.
The Publisher.
The people seem to be disposed
to have "their inning , " this fall ,
The desire is quite natural , and
perhaps desirable as well.
"McKinley looks like Napol-
eon , " the Kearney Enterprise * says
impels us in truthfulness to add
that "his bill is suggestive of Wat-
erloo. " And so it is.
The new forty-two star flags
which are to be issued to the navy
in a few weeks will be flung to
the breeze about the right time to
be rendered obsolete by the admis-
sion of Wyoming and Idaho.
It is one thing to claim you are
the farmers' friend , but it is quite
another thing to make them believe
it. Many a professed anti-monop
will find this out to his sorrow be-
fore this cruel war is over. Hub.
"No party , " says the Washing-
ton Post , "can afford to punish a
man for having ideas and the cour-
age to express them. " The Post
evidently had Ben Butterworth
in mind when it gave utterance to
that sentiment.
The republican party of this
nation should be carefully guard-
ed against heart disease. It is well
for the republicans of Nebraska to
remember that Nebraska is in the
heart of the republican party of
this nation. S. C. Journal.
Governor Thayer's castor drop
ped into .the political arena with
r more or less of a dull and sicken
ing thud. As a coup d' etat it is most
too vociferous. Eis excellency is
evidently making a high bid for al
liance support , and incidentally
stealing Brother Burrows' thunder.
There is a scheme now on foot in
Chicago to build a nermanenfc tow-
er 1.500 in height and 480 in diam-
eter at the base. It is to be call
ed the Columbus tower and will be
a > massive and palatial structure , at
' j- * * - ' "lh.e base occupied as a grand hotel
" and theatre and will cost § 2,000-
000.
With the election of state.legis-
lative and local tickets , this fall ,
Nebraska politics will be interest
ing withal. While the alliance , the
amendments , and other organiza
tions , questions and interests will
all combine to make the year one
of the most memorable in the po
litical annals of theCommomvealth.
By vigorous use of the party
lash the McKinley bill has passed
the house. It is not at all likery
that the Senate's reception of the
measure will be as cordial. It pla
ces added millions in the lap of our
' • infant industries , " pc r consump
tive things , but the advantages to
the people are not so apparent.
! • A school teacher in Massachu-
I setts scoured out a boy's mouth
f with soap to cure him of the swear
ing habit , and was unusually suc-
> cessful. He will never swear
again. He is dead. Now the
y parents are suing the teacher for
v bringing on with this treatment
" , ' ' the diptheria that was the imme-
i- diate cause of his demise. Jour

I ? "While the Register fully appre-
! * ciates the evils resulting from
hi- - proxies in conventions and endors-
es the efforts to abate the nuisance , '
yet we cannot see how it is to be
avoided , as every convention has ]
r the exclusive rights to determine •
i who is entitled to seats in the conj j
vention and if a majority of the -
convention decide to admit pfoxies 1
there is no way to prevent it that <

I" '
From a "Topic of the Time" in
the June Century on "Journalists
and Newspapers , " we quote as fol-
lows : "Nodoubt the present teu-
dency towards trivialities and per-
sonalities will continue until private
rights and public morals are better
protected I by the laws , and until the
acme of size and profit in newspa
pers has been reached. In the
raco for expansion and power , the
leader 1 who has adopted the readi
est means has often imposed his
methods upon men who would
choose the best means. The fault
of a lower tone , here and there , is
not properly chargeable to the
great body of workers , for in the
profession j will be found to-day a
high average of ability , and
conscientious performance of duty ;
and never before our time have
newspapers been able to command
tho trained intelligence and taste to
enable them to do all they are now
doing for the development ofart
and literature ; all that the news
papers 1 of to-day are doingfor ev
ery good cause , and notably at this
moment for that of good govern
ment. Capital and financial suc
cess are of course essential for the
production ] of a great modern news
paper ; but the public has a right
to \ demand that these who bear the
highest ] responsibilities of the pro
fession ; should issue newspapers i
which they , as private individuals ,
would be williug to indorsein ev
ery , pnrt , as men of character , re
finement , and self-respect.
In reference to the mortgage i
and ' recorded indebtedness , now
being taken for the national cen-
sus report , the Nebraskan has i
been able to obtain from the most ;
trustworthy source information
that completely refutes the state
ment : appearing recently in the
Lincoln State Journal. It will
:
be gratifying to learn this and to ,
know that the recorded indebted .
ness : is only taken for ten years-
1880 : to 1889 inclusive , and not
every i mortgage that has been put ;
on < file since the organization of
the i respective counties. The cen
sus i office in "collecting the statis
tics of and relating to the record
ed indebtedness , " as provided by
the law , is taking cancellations as
well , and will doubtless go further
and so far as practicable get infor
mation as to partial payments ,
which do not appear on record. In
other ( words it would thus appear
that the census officials will un
questionably pursue practical busi
ness methods , and endeavor to do
equal and exact justice to all sec
tions of the country in this as well
. as ' other matters. Hastings Ne
braskan.
A boarding house on the Bella-
my plan has been established in ,
Decatur , 111. , not by people of small !
means , but by the wealthier citi
zens of the place. A dozen families
have clubbed together in the enter
prise , and have their meals prepar ;
ed and served on the co-operative
plan. The scarcity of good house
hold : , help * ' was the cause of the (
organization of the new club ,
and not a desire to cut down
living expenses. The results
are said to be satisfactory. Board
for adults costs less than § 3 per
week , and the feminine members of
Decatur's highest families can give S
all their time to Browning , Ibsen ,
art , music and tennis without dan
ger of a domestic upheaval every .
few days on account of delayed L
meals or unwholesome cookery. "
Journal
,
Every bank in this country
hands out certificates , , of deposit
which have not full intrinsic value
behind them. This is easily prov .
en by the fact that scarcely a bank I
in the nation could meet its obli
gations if everyone , having depos
its or other claims , was to imme .
diately demand settlement. The 1
banks do a large business not J
based on their cash assets but on
their good name and credit. But
these same banks demand that the i
treasury of the United States shall
at all times keep the full intrisic 1
value of its certificates of de •
posit lying idle in its vaults.
"I want the railroads to prepare j
for the worst" says Gov. Thayer in
an j intervfew with The Journal.
Tliis is reassuring to the railroad
officials who are considering the ad
visability of building new lines in
to cities like Lincoln , Beatrice ,
Hastings , and Kearney and into the
sparsely settled western counties.
If that is the feeling of the mem
bers of the legislature perhaps their
cities and counties had bettor "Pre
pare for the worst" also. Journal.
"A Fellow Feeling. "
The McCookites and the B. & 31. cappers
uio ( still scheming on some plan to "railroad"
the county seat ot lied Willow county to
MeCook. # * * Judcu Cochran
; lias great scruples against seeing a pout
criminal ; "railroaded" into the , penitentiary ,
but is quite willing to see the county-seat
"railroaded" over from lndkuiola to MeCook.
The above are excerpts iroai the
Frontier County Faber published in
Stockville. It would seem that , { a fel
low feeling makes ( the publisher of the
Faber ) wondrous kindbut does ot
incapacitate him from making state
ments concerning MeCook and her citi
zens misleading and insulting. If the
Faber means that over three-tilths of
the people of Red Willow County are
petitioning the commissioners to call a
special election to vote on the question
of re-locating our County-seat , when it
states that "the MeCookites and the
B. & 31. cappers are still scheming on
some plan to "railroad" the county-seat
of Red Willow County to MeCook , " it
states tho truth in all soberness any
other statement lacks the dignity of
truthfulness.
That allusion to Judge Cochran lacks
the manliness and the fairness which
should characterize the publisher's
work. That Judge Cochran refused to
sanction a combination "to make an ex-
ample" of a poor devil who was more
sinned against than sinning , is true ,
and is commended herewith.
That Judge Cochran countenances
any attempt to "railroad" the County-
scat from or to anywhere is uuwnrrant
ed by the facts in every case that has j
come up in the district since his in
cumbency.
The Faber should con.Mder thought
fully the grievousness of theoffense be
fore again assailing the integrity and
honor of a community or the character
of a district judge. "And may tho Lord
have mercy on your soul. "
The Akron ( Colo. ) people are
using some very questionable
methods of advertising their town.
They have about two columns of
positively false statements in re
gard to Akron , in the St. Louis
Republic. They tell about street
cars , mines , etc. , Avhich may be all
right for Akron but they won't help
the town any. When people of
the east learn that their statements
are all moonshine and that the
town is nothing but a little inland
town with nothing but agricultural
land to back it , and with no pros
pect of ever being more than a lit
tle village of 1,000 to 1,500 in-
habitants. They will turn around
and " 'smile a swore" that will not

The Crete Democrat's editorial
page , last week. Avas about equally 11
divided between advocacy of thejc
saloon and denunciation of the i
tramp evil. It should be more
consistent. The saloon makes the
tramp in four cases out of five.
Abolish the saloon and you have
