OFFICIAL CITY& COUNTY PAPER.
IT is said that the alliance men
of Kansas have decided to inau
gurate the sub-treasury scheme
right away , without waiting for
the tardy adoption of the idea by
the general government. They
will build warehouses and place
their products therein , and issue
checks to the amount of 80 per
cent of the value of the goods so
stored. These checks will be used
as "money. " * # Journal.
THE wise man , the upright man ,
the patriotic man , the lover of his
country , will seek to break down
the ill feeling that at all times
prevails to a more or less extent
between town and country people ,
instead of doing everything in his
jxwer to aggravate it. Both town
and country are necessary for the
well being and prosperity of all
the people , and no possible good
can grow out of the antipathy that
some men seem to take delight in
3
inculcating. Alma Times.
PERHAPS there has never been
a time in the history of the world
when the laboring classes were en
gaged in a more general and
heroic effort to ease the galling
bonds of arragant and powerful
capital. Doubtless , too , the re
cords of earth mention no epoch
which there has been such stupend
ous and menacing a centralization
of power and money has taken
place as in the past twenty-five
years of our national life. It is
natural for THE TRIBUNE to sym
pathize with every proper effort
for the improvement and better
ment of the political , the social , or
the financial condition of the in
dustrial classes. No man is truly
free who will willingly accept the
oppressor's yoke. It is meet that
along this line a special effort
should be directed. The rich are
in need of little assistance. Their
paths lead to success. Money buys
social standing. Opens doors to
political preferment. Clearly the
laboring classes must make con
tention for their recognition along
the many avenues of life which
are wide open to the more favored
wealthy of earth.
AN UPRIGHT JUDGE.
THERE is some speculation
among the politicians in relation
to who will be chosen to succeed
Judge Cochran in this district. The
Advocate is in favor of electing independents -
y
dependents to offices of honor ,
trust and profit , as a general rule ,
and believes it but voices the senti
ments of a large majority of the
voters of Gosper county , by expressing -
| pressing a desire for the re-election
of Judge Cochran. Why ? For
the reason that Judge Cochran's
decisions have in the main , been
rendered in a spirit of fairness ,
that poor men have no cause to
complain that an unjust judge has
discriminated in favor of wealth.
To-day corporations , banking con
cerns and money sharks are cry
ing away with him , he is not the
man we want. Judge Hanier has
taken a manly stand in refusing to
confirm the sale in foreclosure of
real estate where it has not
brought two-thirds of its value.
Judge Cochrau with less flourish
of trumpets has quietly nipped the
evil in the bud by refusing to is
sue a decree of sale where parties
are making their home on the
mortgaged premises. Of course
this has awakened the animosity
of the loan companies and their
agents the banks who are now
plotting to defeat Judge Cochran
and run in a servile tool of mon
opoly. To the Independents we
say , that unless we can bring a
candidate of known ability before
the people ; a man of experience in
matters judicial , a man well versed
in law and having the confidence
of the people , that Judge Cochran
should be retained. The Judgeship -
ship , although it may be conferred
by partisans , is not a partisan of
fice. Judges should have no poli
tics , no political favorites in their
decisions. We are under no obli
gations , have made no pledges , to
Judge Cochran , or to anyone else ,
but believing that a judicial office
should not be , made a partisan gift ,
aor the subject of political barter
and sale , we simply express our
honest convictions in advance of
any campaign excitement. The ;
People's Advocate.
> l FISH STORY.
It is our Had duty to announce the
appearance of otic of the moat colossal
lies of recent years. It comes from
Nebraska and is a cold plain lie without
an extenuating circumstance. We re-
oeat it only that we may denounce it
and the man who tells it. His name
is Thomas , and he is said to be an al
liance man with congressional aspira
tions , lie would be a very dangerous
man to have in congress. The story
which he tells is this : He has a farm
on the Missouri river bottom , near Elk
Valley. A week ago the river began
to raise and he saw that his Jand would
all be submerged. He transferred his
family and also his stock and moveable
property to higher ground. Here be
gins the lie , if , indeed , the farm , fami
ly and property were not ficticious.
There was on his farm , so be says , ex
actly two miles of barbed-wire fence.
It was a five-wire fence , and there were
thirty-two barbs to the rod , or a grand
total of 103,400 barbs. Yet this in
dustrious liar and the other no less en
terprising prevaricator , the hired man ,
baited every one of these barbs with a
small bit of meat. They finished and
escaped to the bluffs just as the water
came up. For twenty-six hours the
water remained five feet above the top
of the fence. Then the river receded
and the hardened and disreputable wan
Thomas went down and examined his
fence. He found , so he has the as
surance to say , a fish hanging from ev
ery barb except three , or 102,397 in all.
There were pickerel , bass , pikesuckers
and many other varieties. They aver
aged ten pounds each in weight , giving
him the astonishing total of 1,023,970
pounds of fresh fish. He discharged
the hired man because he had not pro
perly baited the three barbs which fail
ed to catch any fish. N. Y. Tribune.
Anna Pate has a large cantankerous
grievance against her husband , Harvey
Pate , who is a resident of Red Willow
county , and she believes herself to be a
much maligned and persecuted woman.
She further asserts that she believes
the perquisities and immunities enjoy
ed by an unmarried woman far surpass
the privileges of those yoked down in
married life and she , therefore , asks the
court to remedy her wrongs. In a pe
tition Died this morning she alleges that
she was married to Harvey on Decem
ber 21 , 1888 , at McCook , Neb. , sup
plementing this fact with the stereotyp
ed statement that she has always been
dutiful , obedient and chaste. But she
avers that Harvey has been cruel and
unwantonly deserted her , failing to pro
vide her with the necessities of life and
that he has harshly and cruelly charged
her with immoral conduct , and intimacy
with others than himseif. To crown
all these indignities he has begun a suit
in Red Willow county against one A.J.
Thompsoncharging him with being crim
inally intimate with the plaintiff and
having enticed her from her husband's
home , thereby destroying his happiness
and peace of mind. This allegation
she brands as false and damnable and
asserts that it caused her such shame
and scandal in that community that she
was compelled to leave and take up
life in a large city. She asks the court
to dissolve the marriage ties , restore
her to her maiden name , to compel
Harvey to pay into court enough to
prosecute the suit and to give her a
nice little sum as alimony. World

THE statement of Postmaster
General "VVanamaker regarding his
connection with the collapsed Key
stone bank of Philadelphia be
satisfactory to all fair-minded men.
His relations with that institution
were solely as a business man ,
and he states that he knew noth
ing of its condition except from
published reports , and had abso-
slutely nothing to do with the
course of the government authori
ties regarding the institution. The
postmaster general's statement is
unequivocal in its statements , and
it is to be hoped those who have
endeavored to connect him discred
itably with the defunct bank will
have the sense of fairness and
justice to acquit him of any such
accusation. Bee.

Fly season is again near at hand.
Many of our farmers habitually go
through this season of the year without
providing any protection for their horse
against the flies. This is wrong. The
worry occasioned to a mettlesome horse
by flys , will cut him down more in
flesh than hard work. In all cases , the
owner or driver should provide nets as
a shield against flies , but in case this
cannot be done , a very good way to
keep the flies from bothering the horse
during the day is : Bruise a bunch of
smartweed until the juice exudes. Then
rub the animal all over with the bruised
weed , paying particular attention to the
legs , ears and neck. This answers nice
ly , if properly done and will keep all
insects at a distance for from six to ten
hours at a timebut , to be real effective ,
should be performed twice every day
during fly time , that is , morning and
noon.
