HERE'S the right hand of fellowship -
ship to Colonel Phillips of the
Reporter.
THE death of genial "Bill" Nye
will be widely deplored by American -
can readers at least.
TIIE McKinley boom is in danger -
ger of breaking its back "pitching
the tune" . There is such a thing
as overdoing the enthusiasm bus-
mess.
THE First Presbyterian church
of New York city is gaining some
notoriety over the land from the
stated fact that "Old Glory" floats
from its steeple every Sunday.
IT will not be safe or conclusive -
sive to overlook the influence of
Platt of New York and Quay of
Pennsylvania in betting upon the
nominee of the next Republican
national convention.
. THE controversy between Col-
, oue ISniifli of the DanbuiY News
and Colonel Mitchell of the In-
dianola Courier has readied the
pathetic stage , and it should be
abandoned. Truth and pathos
must be respected.
TIIEIndianola Courier referring
to Oscar Wilde of the Culbertson
Era as a "really eighty" humorist
in embryo , reminds us that the
prospect will remain tolerably
pleasing as long as Oscar's scrap
book holds out.
'T'HE Republican party will need
to make no excuses for Czar Reed
if he should become their national
staularcl bearer in the coming Republican -
publican victory , this fall. Tom
speaks for himself-and like most
men of convictions and courage-
he speaks right out in meeting
when the occasion demands.
THE people of western Nebraska
niust arouse to the overshadowing
importance of the question of impounding -
pounding winter and flood waters.
Everywhere ditches should be excavated -
cavated and the water of the rivers
and creeks stored away iii reservoirs -
voirs for summer use. Embankments -
ments should take the place of
wooden bridges over a thousand
canyons and thus innumerable
ponds and lakes be formed. This
policy should not be further de-
layed. It's practical , and sensible.

The drama "Ton ' the Convict"
offered by the band , last Saturday

the sour old maid was filled by a
portly woman with a physiognomy
