TUE abdication of the Chinese
emperor is proclaimed , but the
genuineness of the proclamation is
doubted.
JAMES W. SCOTT , chief owner
of the Chicago Times-Herald , is
dead. He was one of America's
most sagacious newpaper men.
THE free silver agitation is taking -
ing another boom , and is attracting
the attention of the administration
by reason of its fervor and force.
THE Paris Figaro gives currency
to a rumor that Dr. Nansen , the
Artic explorer , has found the North
Pole , and that it is situated on a
chain of mountains.

TIIE whiskey trust has been ordered -
dered dissolved by Judge Showal-
ter of the U. S. circuit court at
Chicago , and the property to be
i sold to the highest bidder.
THE price of coal oil is steadily
advancing so far as the Pennsylvania -
vania product is concerned at least.
i And its the uncertainty how high
( the figure will go that most bothers -
ers operators on the oil exchange.
' TIFER E is ample money in the
state's permanent school fund to
take up the relief warrants , which
should not in any manner go begging -
ging while almost a half million
of the permanent school fund remains -
mains uninvested. Keep the interest -
terest at home.
THE resignation of Chancellor
Canfield of theNebraska University
will be deeply regretted. His departure -
parture for Ohio , where lie assumes
the chancellorship of that state
university , July 1st , will be a distinct -
tinct loss to the state university of
Nebraska at whose head there has
never been a brainier or more
clever man.
THE talk that a beef trust exists
is denied by the journals of that
trade , who claim that the cattle
are not in the country and that
the increase in the price of cattle
is due to this fact and to crop fail-
ures. The receipts of cattle so far
in 1895 are indicating a remarkable -
ble decrease , while the price keeps
steadily appreciating.
THE decision of the supreme
court in exempting holders of municipal -
nicipal , county and state bonds
and land rentals from the opera-
ticn of the income tax , it is stated ,
will reduce the income of the government -
ernment from that tag about one-
half. Such decisions will not in
any measure increase popular respect -
spect for the court. The injustice
' of it is too patent even to a school
boy.
THE 317 voters of this city who
died in the last ditch with Jacob
Burnett at the last municipal election -
tion will doubtless be gratified to
learn from the Times-Democrat of
this city that there were "sorllE of
the most respected citizens of Mc-
Cook in the ranks of the opposi-
tion. " The Times-Democrat then
pours a little brine into the wounds
of the opposition just to make
them feel cheerful no doubt-by
insinuating something about the
"details of a rather ugly job which
have been filed away for future
F reference. " THE TRIBUNE is just
a little curious. Let the people
have those details-if they exist
anywhere than in the pregnant and
fertile imagination of the writer.
Out wit the details.

PRESIDENT CLEVELAND has further -
ther solidified himself with Wall
street in his recent letter on the
money question. But not so with
the people of the west at least ,
where the silver sentiment seems
to be growing rapidly and per-
manently.
THE supreme court of this land
has not in years made a decision
which has been so generally criti-
cised as the recent decision on the
income tax law. There is doubtless -
less more law or precedent than
common sense in the decision.
The moral effect on the masses
will be damaging-the wealthy
class being the chief beneficiaries.
ONE thing that Nebraska can
congratulate herself on her escap-
iug is the avalanche of swollen
rivers and floods that is carrying
dismay into many quarters of New
England and the east. There is
no present danger of the Nebraska
rivers slipping their banks this
year. Between too much moisture
and no moisture at all the farmers
of the country have a hard time.
The happy medium of just moisture -
ure enough is what Nebraska pre-
fers.-Bee.

IN THE INTEREST OF BEAUTY.
0 Town Should Have Control of Phu th g
and Pruning Trees.
Who is not interested in seeing our
streets lined with rows of beautiful
trees ? What a boon their shade ! Trces
in a town often have a hard time of it.
Poor soil and little or no attention do
not conduce to strong and luxuriant
growth. But in many towns and cities
trees are made to flourish , showing that
it is not an impossibility. It is hardly
necessary to say that trees will not
thrive unless they are treated with an
intelligent understanding of their re-
quirements. While evcryproperty owner -
er plants a tree or not in front of his
property , as it suitshim , and retainsfull
control of it , chopping off limbs and
oUieiwise mutilating it as he sees fit ,
the aspect of our streets cannot improve.
The town should take entire control
of the planting and pruning of shade
trees , and under the direction of some
Iverson who has knowledge of their rc
quirements in time long rows of verdure
will border our thoroughfares.
Mr. Joseph Iltoehan , in a paper read
before the Pennsylvania Horticultural
society , made some useful suggestions
as to tree planting in towns. Ho says :
"As to spring or fall planting , it
makes no difference. Unless in beauties -
ties where the natural soil exists iii its
original purity it is better to dig out a
moderate cartload of soil and fill in
with fresh , good earth. Rank manure
should not be used at all , but that a
year or moo old , well decayed , may be
mixed with the soil moderately , but
good planters think it better that it be
not in direct contact with the roots , so
unmixed earth is first thrown in to cover -
er the roots.
"It is well known good practice to do
some pruning before planting. Just
how much is determined by examining
the roots. All trees lose more or less
roots in digging. If but few arc lost ,
but little pruning of the top is called
for ; if many arc , a good deal of the top
must come away. Nonattention to this
is the cause of the loss of thousands of
trees. Numerous branches make more
mouths than the roots can supply , and
the trees die. Do not be afraid of a
good pruning of the top. There is another -
other reason for pruning at planting.
The trees may be unshapely , the branches -
es too low or the top spindling. Pruning
or cutting away of branches to remedy
these defects aid the roots at the same
time. "

Castoria is truly a marvelous thing for the u
children. Doctors prescribe it , medical journals -
nals recommend it and more than a million
mothers are using it in place of paregoric ,
Bateman's drops , so-called soothing syrups
and other narcotic and stupefying remedies. I
Castoria is the quickest thing to regulate the '
stomach and bowels and give healthy sleep
the world has ever seen. It is pleasant to the
taste and absolutely harmless. It relieves
constipation , quiets pain , cures diarnccea and
wind colic allays feverishness
, , destroys worms
and prevents convulsions , soothes the child
and gives it refreshing and natural sleep. 1
C'astoria is the children's panacea-the moth- t
er's friend. Castoi is is
put up in only one size ,
bottle. It is not sold in bulk. Don't allow
any one to sell you anything else on the plea
or promise that it is "just as good" and "will
answer every purpose. " See that you get
