FOR STATE AUDJTOR
Mayor S. S. Troth of This City Now
Well in the Race.
WELL QUALIFIED FOR OFFICE
An Old Resident of This Section of
' ' Nebraska and His Friends
Very Energetic.
Mayor H. H. Troth of our city is now
well into the race for the Republican
nomination for state auditor. With the
solid delegation from Red Willow coun
} ty and warm assurances from other del-
+ agations in this part of the state , he
and his friends are feeling quite , hopeful
, , i of his prospects for securing the nomination -
,
nation at the coming state convention
in Lincoln.
t4 As to the qualifications of Mr. Troth
for the office , they are ample and sufficient -
cient in every particular. THE TRIBUNE
, takes pleasure in reproducing the follow-
lug complimentary reference to his candidacy -
didacy from the Red Cloud Belt :
McCoog and Red Willow county will
have a candidate in the state convention
for state auditor in the person of H. H.
Trothi. Mr. Troth is an old acquaintance
I of this department and will make a
- I strong pull for the office. He has got
just dadoodles of friends in the western
part of the state and is as competent and
as well fitted for the office as any man
that could be named. He is a rock
ribbed Republican too and knows why
he is such. He was postmaster at
McCook under Harrison and is mayor of
that city now and Job is here to say'that
if the delegates from the Republican
. valley don't support him they will always -
ways wish they had.-Job in Barbwire
Department of Red Cloud Belt.
IN their open fight against McKinley
in Kentucky and Indiana , the A. P : A.
is "endearing" itself to the old line
Republicans all over the land. Little
by little THE TRIBUNE'S prophecies
concerning this secret political organization -
zation are being realized.
ONE of the causes that will endear
McKinley to the hearts of thousands of
Republicans over the land , Will be the
r fact the A. P. A. is fighting him. The
Republican party must be immeasurably -
bly larger than the A. P. A. or its glorious -
ious mission is finished , its sun of promise -
ise is ingloriously set and forever.
AT the Republican state delegate convention -
vention held iii Omaha , Wednesday ,
John L. Webster , Thomas P. Kennard ,
Peter Jansen and George H. Thummell
j were elected delegates at large , and 0. G.
Smith , C. B. Dempster , L. P Judd and
A. C. Wright alternates to the St. Louis
convention. Delegates were instructed
for McKinley first , last and all the time.
It was Senator Thurston's convention.
- THE latest important decision of the
supreme court will do much to return
prestige to what should be the most
august tribunal on earth , and the cause
of individualism as against arbitrary
combination receives substantial support.
If the interstate commerce commission
with the power given or rather affirmed
by this decision does not justify its existence -
istence by the suppression of pools and
trusts , it will be clearly guilty of corrup-
tion.-Red Cloud Belt.
THE Deming ( New Mexico ) Headlight
says , "it has built railroads , planted
trees , inaugurated irrigation enterprises ,
overthrown cattle quarantines , opened
custom houses , discovered mines , furnished -
nished bustles for beauties and even
graced pantry shelves ; it has extolled
I candidates until angels were nothing -
ing in comparison , and decried others
until the devil was ashamed of himself ;
it has smiled and cried as occasion demanded -
manded , but it can not be run to suit
everybody , and we have landed ourselves
in danger of investigation by a lunacy
I commission by attempting it" .
JOHN L. WEBSTER has been one of few
lawyers in the state who have been able
to stand and hold their own without cor-
rate assistance. We have admired
him for his independence , as a characteristic -
istic product of the best traditions of the
bar. But if he is to surrender himself tea
a secret political organization whose
members are taught to dissemble and
deny their membership that they may
have more power , an organization which
in its political methods is more ] jesuitical
than the jesuits , and which would delight -
light the heart of Machiavel were he
living , then we must give over our ad-
miration. He has talent , even genius ;
rt
so had r1achiavel and the founder of the
IJ ] esuit order , and association is as dan-
-
-r
r gerous to hini as to them.--Red Cloud

Gossip from Antaltrurla.
A sojourn of months in Antaltrulia has
brought to notice so many traits of character ,
which to say the least , are peculiar , that I
shall give you illustrative instances and shall
watch with interest your club discussions and
nee how you place them from an Ethological
standpoint. I spoke in my last of the stern
sense of duty which actuated the inhabitants.
Myjtostess had callers , and knowing my
desire to have a personal knowledge of the
citizensinvited me to make their acquaintance.
I was an interested listener to the conversation -
tion which was lively and general , PERSONS
being the subject , more than things. Near the
close of the call , an elderly lady , Mrs. Green ,
who wore mottled glasses , leaned over to my
hostess , saying-"My dear , what do you think
of Nora and Tom ? "
"In what way ? "
"Why , do you think he is in love with her ? "
"I don't know , I am sure. I've never seen
them together. "
In a thrilling whisper the old lady said ,
"Why , I never saw anything like it ! In Sab
bath School she always sits right by him and
whenever they are in the same company , she
claims his attention and almost makes love to
him ! It is ridiculous ! It is a shame for her
to be so bold ! Now , what do you think of
THAT ? "
" 0,1 know nothing about them. I inferred
from his talk that he had a sweet-heart at
college , and I laughingly advised him not to
stay here too long and break that girl's heart. "
A few days later , I found my hostess much
wrought up. "Now , Mr. Reporter , " she said ,
"You have a beautiful example of the famous
Antaltruria ! You remember when Mrs. Green
was here ? \Vell , Sir , the old mottled-eyed
thing went straight to Nora's mother and told
her that she felt it to be her duty to let her
know that I said , I didn't want poor Nora's
heart broken and she ought to be told that
Tom was engaged to another girl ! "
"And how did you know this , " I asked.
" 0 , Nora's mother attacked Tom about it ,
and Tom told Dick and Dick asked I-Iarry if
he thought I said it"
"All acting from a sense of duty , suppose. "
I said.
"Yes , Harry thought I ought to know it"
Seeing me laughshe broke off and exclaimed ,
" 0 , Mr. Reporter , it is dreadful for you to
show us up in this way ! But I don't care !
It is just as mean as can be for old Mrs. Green
to act so ! And she is so given to it" Hers
the indignant tears interfered with speech ,
but she soon recovered and grew eloquent
over her wrongs.
' 'One day we were all invited to dine with
Mrs. Jones. The dinner was splendid and
everything as nice as could be. Afterwards ,
Mrs. Green called to see Mrs. Wells , who was
sick. Mrs. Wells said she had heard of the
dinner , that a woman had told her , that Mrs.
Jonesthought that she bad some mighty nice
ice-cream , but that it was nothing , but cold
skim-milk. Mrs. Green then went to Mrs.
Jones , and told her that she thought it was
her duty to tell her that II ! ! mind you-
should have told Mrs. Wells about the skim-
milk. Mrs. Jones , of course , felt hurt , and
came to me to know why I had treated her so.
\Vhy , I told her that I had never heard of
such a thing ! I didn't even so much as taste
the ice-cream and if I had I was too honorable
to speak of it , if anything had been wrong
with it. When I met Mrs. Green , I asked
why she said what she did for. 'Whymy
dear , I knew you had been to see Mrs.Vells ,
and I was not very well acquainted with you ,
and I thought it was you : And she was the
very one , too , who spoke of the white sauce
eaten with the plum pudding. She said to
me , 'My dear , ( lid you eat any of the sauce ? '
Yes. 'What ( liI you think of it ? ' It was delicious -
licious , I replied.Vellshe must have given
me gravy , by mistake , for it was not sweet at
all. ' "
I laughed heartily at the woes of my hostess
as she related'many instances of where this
sense of duty caused trouble. The baskets of
eggs , or glass-wearing will next be spoken
of by YAUR REPORTER.
