Republicans , attend the pri
maries.
The Omaha Republican has en
tered the lists for the prohibition
amendment.
The Louisiana legislature has
disgraced the state by passing the
lottery bill.
The Hastings Nebraskan is
grooming Hon. I. W. Lansing of
Lincoln for the attorney general
ship.
Between Randall's perfidy and
Webster's boodle , Mr. Laws is lia
ble to be given a renomination just
forloTe of decency in politics.
• Oulbertson Sun.
"Congressman Laws has a person
al following few Nebraskans can
take pride in. His friends will be
heard from in a way that will dis
concert his enemies.
Send the right kind of men to
the conventions from your precinct
smd you need have no fear cf the
• action of party so far as men and
.measures are concerned.
At the primaries men and par
lies are made and unmade. By
attending the primaries and ex-
2)ressing yourselves through the
delegates elected , you will secure
just recognition at the convention.
Receiver Bomgardner takes
liold of the business of his office
with the air of one acquainted with
official life. That he will discharge
the duties of the office well and
satisfactorily there is every warrant
to believe.
The McCook Tribune thinks
that Laws will have no trouble in
securing the nomination. There
is this about it , Laws has warm
friends at home. Hastings Demo
crat.
In complimenting Congressman
Laws , the Fremont Tribune says :
"It is pretty certain that whoever i8
nominated , no better service can be
expected , under all circumstances ,
than Mr Laws has given his con
stituents. "
The Nebraska publishers who
got the Turner hook in their gills
are whiggling like eels to extricate
themselves from their humiliating
position before the people , all the
while firing ' 'cuss words" at the
scheming Dr. Funk of the vocifer
ous , plain-spoken Voice.
The Bee quotes Mayor Cushing
of Omaha as saying : "If the rural
districts think they can dictate to
the cities of this state this fall I for
one am in favor of showing them
how sadly mistaken they are. All
is fair in war. Let us consider
this war , and defeat prohibition ,
if not in oneway , then in another. "
We will see how sadly the rural
districts are mistaken.
SecretaryRoot will understand
The Tribune's allusion to the
grange , may its shadow never grow
less , when he observes that our ref
erence to that splendid organization
simply covered its history as a po-
litical part ) ' . Purged by its ex
perience in Illinois and elsewhere
its onward and upward strides have
been scarcely short of the marvel
ous. Speed the grange !
Count Tolstoi has cone out flat-
footed for celebacy and declares
that as the world is going to be
damned anyway the matter of a few
years will make no difference. The
count come to this conclusion after
having possessed himself by easy
stages of a wife and thirteen child
ren. Perhaps it is only fair to the
rest of his brethren to allow them
to have a little experience.
Personal liberty should be the
privilege of every citizen ; but when
men abuse this liberty ancl destroy
the lives , the property , the happi
ness of their fellow beings , it is
proper that they should be subject
to restraint. ' 'Personal libertv"
in the proper acceptation of the
term , accorded to one man may
mean destruction to hundreds of
those around him.
It is stated that Col. E. D. Web
ster of Omaha is again scheming
for the Second congressional dis
trict nomination. The Col. may
just as well get that foolish notion
out of his head. He will never be
the congressman from this district.
Never ! The wily old Colonel is
not of a popular sort among the
farmers of the Second. There is
not republican.majority enough in
the district to carry him.
Some of our exchanges have re
cently published an item to the ef
fect that Congressman Laws mil be
the Register of the McCook Land
office , in case he is not renominated ,
and that he is holding the appoint
ment back for that reason. There
is not a word of truth in the state
ment. We state this positively ,
knowing what we are talking about.
The items referred to do Mr. Laws
an injustice , and were doubtless
first manufactured by designing
persons opposed to his renomina
tion. Beaver City Tribune.
It seems a little singular that
the Lutherans of the United States
who are making so strenuous a
fight against compulsory education
are nearly all natives or descend
ants of natives of a country where
the Lutherans are in a large major
ity and where compulsory educa
tion is very compulsory indeed.
Back in Germany they would un
doubtedly favor what they are fight
ing here , because they are not in
the majority. It makes a great
deal of difference whose ox is gored.

We don't wonder that such a
botch was made of most of the
enumerators in this district after
Laving seen the census supervisor ,
W. S. Randall , at Hastings , this
week. He is not only a common
"mutton head" of a fellow , but a
regular Judas Iscariot. He has
sone back on his benefactor in this
dse : He was appointed by Con
gressman Laws as census supervi
sor and last week in his dirty little
sniveling paper he came out in a
ojxg article bringing out Nettleton
Tor congressman as against Laws.

ESTEEMED BY ALL.
Washington , June 27. [ Jour
nal Special. ] Senator Paddock ,
in speaking to-day of tin article
which recently appeared in these
dispatches giving Mr. Laws some
of the credit to which he is entitled ,
related an incident which shows
that Mr. Laws is appreciated by the
men who sit in the house with him.
"I was talking with Mr. Sherman
of New York , who represented
the district formerly represented by
Mr. Conkling , " said Senator Pad
dock to The Journal correspondent
this afternoon , "when I took occa
sion to commend the eulogy deliv
ered by Mr. Sherman upon his late
colleague , Mr. Nutting. Mr. Sher
man responded : 'Your man , Mr.
Laws of Nebraska , by the way , is
one of the best men in the house
from the west. He has made for
himself a most excellent standing
here and has won the respect of ev
erybody in the house. He is evi
dently a man of ability and excel
lent judgment. His eulogy upon
Laird was the best one delivered
during this session of the house ,
although the session has been re
markable for eloquent eulogies. "
"I find , " said Senator Paddock ,
"that the thinking men of the house
are united in praising the careful ,
methodical and painstaking mem
ber from the Second district. "
Rumor reaches us from the west
that a new man will be presented
for consideration to the republican
state convention , for secretary of
state , namely , Hon. J. C. Allen , of
McCook. In point of ability John
C. Allen has no superior. His re
publicanism is of the kind that
never wavers , while he is one of
the best known men in the state.
The west will be for him because
he is a western winner. Hastings
Democrat.
It is reported that when editor
Randall wrote the sniffling editorial
in which he announced that he
would throw all his political influ
ence at once into the scale for Mr.
Nettleton , the ghost of Judas Iscar
iot rose up from between the stones
of the basement office in which the
editor sat , and taking him by the
hand saluted him most cordially.
"Hello , old boy , " said Judas ,
"When you get ready to shake oif
this mortal coil into which } Tou
have become entangled of late ,
come down and I'll share my quar
ters with you. You are the only
man born for eighteen hundred
years that I would be willing to
associate with. " Sutton Register.
Secretary Noble has set free
the ten million acres of tied up
Union Pacific lands that have been
held on to by the land department
for some time , on the ground that
the road was indebted to the gov-
eminent. The secretary probably
considered that as the government
voluntarily became a creditor of
the road at the time it granted the
lands , it was no part of the con
tract that the grant should be held
in abeyance until the debt was paid.
The government took a mortgage
on the road bed and rolling stock
for its debt and should be satisfied
with the security it asked and re
ceived , and not hold up everything
else belonging to the debtor , beside.
The patenting of this land accord
ing to the terms of the grant will
be a considerable relief to the pur
chasers of the same. Journal.
The admission of Idaho and
Wyoming to statehood disposes of
the famous northwest territories ,
and ends for some years at least the
creation of new states. The big
four admitted last week have amp
ly demonstrated their right to par
ticipate in national affairs and en
joy the fruits of self government.
In agricultural and mineral wealth
they are unsurpassed by any in
the union , and the indomitable
pluck and perseverance of the pio
neers in developing the resources
of the country animates their sons
and insures a continuance of the
prosperity which in a quarter of
the century , supplanted territories
with states and made them popu
lous , aggressive and prosperous
commonwealths. Idaho and Wy
oming will prove no less worthy
of the honors bestowed. The equal
of the big four in natural resources ,
peopled by a sturdy race of state
builders , and constantly attracting
bhe industrial bone and sinew of
fche dormant east , they will soon
rank , under the stimulating influ
ence of statehood , among the most
orogressive states of the west.
Nebraska greets the rock ribbed
Avins and welcomes them into the
sisterhood of states. Bee.H
