E1.50 A YEAR IN ADVANCE
THE "Jingoes" on both sides
of the big pond are doing a , land
office business now ,
COLONEL MOCK of the AImn
Record appropriately locates the
alleged gold find near Alma as in
"Fool's Gulch" .
THE Red Cloud Golden Belt of
last week contained a very clever
and touching tribute to the late
lv. A. McKeighan.
THE Republican party always
makes a better showing when
campaigning for party prirniples
than when merely hustling for
the offices. She's built that way.
THE newspaper Colonels have
all enlisted for the war. The
Colonels , however , appreciate the
small likelihood of there being any
demand upon their patriotism , and
blue blood.
UNCLE SAM'S dignity will be
maintained-aiid without the necessity -
cessity of a war with England or
any other nation. Let's send the
fire-eaters to Cuba , if they fancy
they must fight.
- THE financial question is still
the hardesj nut congress has to
crack. Like the famous ghost , it
won't down. There are doctors-
but they disagree as to the diagnosis -
sis and treatment.
OouNTnY newspaper publishers
never encouraged a ranker heresy
than this clubbing scheme. Like
the darkey's coon , the weekly newspaper -
paper man is "worked to a finish" ,
"coming and going" .
IT is gratifying , to observe the
I unanimity with which the news-
3 , _ , _ papers and the peeP le gererall Y
_ are listanding up for Nebraska" .
The general feeling is one of con-
4 fidence and hopefulness.
1' WE have survived the Schlatter
craze , and will no doubt pull
through this war folly. The people -
plo and the politicians have to
have about so much nonsense-
and these demonstrations have
not been very expensive so far.
NEBRASKA'S weekly newspaper
men are slowly coming up to the
transaction of business on business -
ness principles. But it's slow work.
I One sensible indication of this
l
wise movement is the effort being
made by the craft to place the subscriPtion -
: scriPtion list on a cash basis. It
ought to be there.
/
STATE ADDITOB EUGENE MOORE
has been suggested as a possible
successor to Congressman Meikle-
john. What his qualifications are
for that place we are not capable
to state. But he has made a
splendid officer in the state's aad-
itilig department , and his political
and official course has been clean ,
able and dignified.
I
THE TRIBfiNE admires t h e
prompt and courageous manner of
Congressman Meiklejohn's a n-
3 ,
trance upon the race for the
gubernatorial nomination , at any
rate. By the same token it despises -
spises the skulking methods by
which politicians often seek such
honors. The congressman evidently -
dently don't fight well from am-
I bush.

W.D.Gillett has been using his
paint brush in J. C. Shumaker's
store , and it now presents a much
more attractive appearance.
R.L.Beckwith reports on his return -
turn from his recent visit to his
sister , that her injuries are such as
she will entirely recover from.
Everything is about in readiness
for the dedication of the new Masonic -
sonic temple on the 27th. There
should be a large numberin attendance -
ance , as there are no other entertainments -
tainments on hand for the holidays.
George Short has been very unfortunate -
fortunate in the line of burglaries.
The raid made on his store , last
week , is the second nocturnal visit
robbers have made him. It is to
be regretted that the strong arm of
the law cannot be laid on these
scoundrelly thieves. .

Treasurer and Mrs. J. B. Me-
serve enjoyed Christmas with
their daughter in McCook , going
up on Tuesday morning.
Rev. Isham's lecture on India at
the Methodist church. Christmas
eve , was not so largely attended as
it should have been. It was entertaining -
taining and instructive.
Christmas exercises at the Con-
.gregational church consisted mainly -
ly of a "Ferris wheel" , which went
around carrying six little girlswlio
handed out boxes of candy to be
distributed among Sunday school
scholars. It was a novel and pleasing -
ing form of entertainment.
It costs between three and four
thousand dollar each year to keep
the poor of Red Willow county-
which is too much by 'half. It
now takes about one-third of our
general fund to meet the numerous -
ous and continuous demands of
I
the poor. A properly r managed
poor farm will materially reduce
not only the demand , but the ex-
pense. Under the present arrangement -
rangement it seems to be quite
difficult to save the county from
being frequently and sadly imposed -
posed upon. T Ii e poor farm
scheme merits the closest investi-
gation.
