THE McCooK TRIBUNE was ten years old , last week ; and , by the way , McCook is about the same ago. Good sized ten-year-olds , both of them. Haves Co. Times.

The only way to be success ful , so far as my observation goes , is to succeed. " DURING 1888-89 almost 500 trusts were organized in America. Tli 63" control about every branch of industry. And include no less * than two billion dollars of capital , considerably over two-thirds of the entire manuiacturing capital or the United States.

THE Atlanta Constitution in a recent editorial : "As for the southern farmers , it is absurd to ask them to join a third party , and thereby destroy a political and so cial solidity which is essential to the safety of their property and their institutions. The farmers here are satisfied with the demo cratic party in every pdrticularfor they constitute a majority of its voters and have control of it organ ization. A third party in the south would be farcical in its con ception and tragical in its results , for it would be in the nature of an invitation to ignorance to step in and take charge of affairs.
