THE state fair management are
. - being roundly roasted by the press _
-
for their illiberality in the matter
of complimentary tickets for the
" press. And not without desert.
IINDEB the provisions of that
famous anti-Rosewater police bill
of the last legislature , the new
chief of police of Omaha is reorganizing -
. ganizing the force as nearly as
may be on the lines of competency.
And still there are people in Omaha -
ha less happy than Rosewater.

MOCOOK is carefully grooming
a Republican candidate for the
state auditorship nomination in
1896. He is a "keen kutter" , a
"white hot number" , if you will
allow the expressions. So just observe -
serve his smoke and the width of
his swath.
f
THE Republican convention of
the Fourteenth Judicial district
will be held in McCook ,
Wednesday
day September 13th , commencing
at one o'clock , at which place , date
t and time the Republican successor
to Judge Welty will be named-if
ordinary judgment is used.
/
THE anserous newspaper Col-
. ones of the bucolic sort are now
announcing with their usual and
customary bravado , "that there are
several self-constituted politicians
in this vicinity who are trying to
put up fobs to further their personal -
al ends , " etc , ad libitum ad nau-
seam. That they are after such
mercenary wretches with a sharp
pole of satisfactory length , etc.
But the Colonels don't mean anything -
thing or anybody in particular.
They are simply endeavoring to
impress the scheming politicians
- with the force bf their intelligent
and valorous virtue-and really
providing a little innocent amusement -
ment for the scheming politicians.
We would distinctly discourage
the use of blank cartridges.
THE TRIBUNE regards both .gold
and silver as constitutional money ,
and favors the use of both as freely
as the maintenance of their parity
will allow. Just how freely the
idea of parity will warrant perhaps
nothing short of actual experience
will demonstrate. Doubtless the
American product will fill the bill
for thQ present. The use of silver
should be expanded according to
the rule of integrity of the two
coins. In the discussion of this
financial problem it may be well
to appreciate the fact that the heaping -
ing of approbium upon the contending -
tending parties by each other will
do more harm than good. There
are conscientious advocates of both.
THE TRIBUNE believes neither in
gold or silver monometalism , but
in the widest consistent use of
both , and of the full restoration of
any rights silver may have lost or
been deprived of since 1873.
America wants a sound , stable currency -
rency as well as it wants a bountiful -
ful volume. The country's cur-
rency or financial system must be
sound , stable , ample and honest.
BY Placing the coins on an equality -
ity this condition can be more
readily attained perhaps than by
purchasing gold which the bondholder -
holder may at pleasure demand ,
thus jeopardizing an impossible
reserve. Give us genuine bimetal-
ism.
