THE trades unions of the whole
United States are about to demand
that the World's fair be opened
on Sunday , the workingman's day
for recreation.
TJIE Ixocky Mountain News ,
the leading democratic paper west
of Chicago , bolts Buzzard's JBay
Beauty , and will support the pee
ple's party candidate.
ANOTHER candidate for the gu
bernatorial nomination on the re
publican ticket has be n mentioned
A. E. Ca4y , of St. Paul. Mr.
Cady has already made a record
as a member of the legislature.
COLONEL J. D. GAGE , of Frank
lin county , failed to stand as a
candidate for the republican con
gressional nomination in the Fifth
district , -but he is now being
boomed for the nomination for the
state senate.
SHOULD the people's party
name Judge Gresham for its can
didate at Omaha next month , the
chances are more than ever that
he would have the mighty support
of the New York Sun. And do
the leaders of the party known
what that Avould mean ? Call.
THE citizens of Holdrege and
vicinity are thinking of investing
some money with Melbourne , the
rain maker. They should do
nothing of the sort. The rain
that comes with that fraud will
come without him , and if it doesn't
come without him the farmers may
look out for a drouth. This is
THE TRIBUNE'S opinion.
AN exchange having stated that
fifty union veteran soldiers were
delegates to the convention that
nominated McKeighan. the Cul-
bertsoii Hepublican remarks :
"What of that ? Among the 130
delegates to the convention on
Wednesday , that nominated his
republican opponent , Andrews ,
ninety four of the delegates wore
G.A.E. buttons , and veterans were
there who did not wear the but
tons to our certain knowledge.
THE hue and cry of a few
puny organs that Whitelaw Held
is the enemy of organized labor is
simply political buncombe designed
to weaken the republican ticket.
Some slight differences between
The Tribune and the typograph
ical union arose during Mr. Beid's
absence in Europe , but the diffi
culties were happily adjusted to
the satisfaction of all concerned
shortly after his arrival home.
This compaign will be fought up
on party principals , and mudslinging
ing will carry no weight with fair-
voters.
THERE were but two candidates
before the McCook convention for
the congressional nomination W.
E. Andrews and D. M. Nettleton.
Andrews was nominated for con
gress aud Nettletou was chosen as
presidential elector. Both will
get there PROF ANDREWS , in
Lis speech in this city last Friday
night paid a tribute to James G.
Blaiiie. which o'ershadows all that
has ever been said of the great
statesman , when he said that Mr.
"the in America
Blaiiie was only man
ica who had really risen above theo
" THE selection
o ffice of president"
lection of John L. McPheely , of
this city , as chairman of the con
gressional committee was a timely
choice , and means a red hot cam
paign from start to finish. Me is a
r0od organizer and hard worker
himself and he will inspire the
sther boys to active work also. If
Andrews" not elected it will not
bo the fault of J. L. McPheeley.

Two liomeseekiug excursions wil
come to Nebraska this year , oue cm
August ' 30 aud the other on Sept
ember 27. It is a common practice
in every fresh and new settlemen
to present highly colored induce
ments to eastern people who are
seeking to better their condition , am
not unfrequently a severe penalty
is paid for excessive booming whei
the deceived homeseekor pulls up
his stakes and moves nway leaving
those who have expected to become
suddenly rich by inflated real estate
values to mourn and find fault with
the hard decrees of fate.
Nebraska passed beyond the ex
perimental period many years ago.
Among the states west of the Miss
issippi it ranks as an old common
wealth. It is not a field that invites
the adventurer. It offers no in
ducement to the devotees of happy
change. There is no such thing
as gambling upon the future of the
state.
"With this plain statement as an
introduction , The Bee ventures to
suggest that the thousands of citi
zens of Nebraska who have friends
in the east cannot better show in
terest in them than by asking them
to join one of these homeseekiug
excursions and take a look at this
state , investigating its vast resour
ces and estimating its unlimited
possibilities. It is a curious fact
that millions of eastern people
whose material conditions could
hardly be worse than it is are
wholly ignorant of the opportuni
ties here offered. If they had
heard of these opportunities they
have imagined that some one was
trying to practice on their credu
lity.There
There is a vast amount of room
in Nebraska. There is ample
space for the farmer , the tradesman
and the manufacturer. It is not
necessary that the homeseeker
should be a mere tiller of the soil.
"With each year's development of
thf rich resources of the state a
wider field is open for every form
of human activity.
Let the citizens of Nebraska
invite their eastern friends to join
one of these homeseekiug excur
sions and pay them a visit. In
any event it can do no harm , and
perhaps it may effect a great im
provement in the condition of some
wno are now struggling tor exis
tence in the thickly populated east.
Visitors are ahays welcomed heie.

General John W. Faster was
Wednesday appointed secretary estate
state by President Harrison auc
promptly confirmed by the senate
General Foster's diplomatic exper
ience fits him for the position. He
has been minister to Russia , Mexico
ice and Spain and had a great deal
to do with negotiating the recipro
city arrangement with the latter
country. He has also represented
ike State department in the nego
tiation of other reciprocity agree
ments , and no one has a more
thorough knowledge of that polic } ' .
He has been under the present ad
ministration the diplomatic attor
ney of the state department , aud
in that relation has proved himself
a most able and useful official.
General Foster is said to be entire
ly familiar with every phase of the
Bering sea controversy , and as the
arbitration is near at hand his
counsel will be important and val
uable. Besides his extensive ex
perience in diplomatic affairs , the
new secretary of state is a lawyer
of superior attainments. He en
joys the full confidence of the pres
ident and is in complete harmony
with his views on all the subjects
with which the state department
has at present to deal. ± ± e is to
be credited to Indiana , although
for a number of years a resident
of the District of Columbia. Bee.
"TiiE carefully prepared estimate
of the secretary of the interior
showed , " says the Indianapolis
Journal , "that over § 144,000,000
would be needed during the next
fiscal year for pensions , but the
democratic house reduced the
amount nearly eleven million doll
ars. " Either a lot of pensions will
not be paid toward the close of the
next fiscal year or a deficiency
will be created to be provided for
during the next session after the
presidential election. "Will the
old soldiers vote for the candidate
of a party that is guilty of such
an act ? _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
