A famine is predictec ' , " for the near future. It is announced that the silvei \ s forces will meet in Lincoln on Sep. * \ tember 1st in three conventions foi 11 ' - the purpose of fixing up a f usior \ * scheme for the fall campaign. . Yi ! MM f J "For one , I do not believe it possible - sible to succeed upon a platform , j I' that demands the unqualified free . f coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 to 1 with gold. We have fought the battle and it is lost. We can it under circumstances p never fight over stances more favorable to ourselves. If we hope to succeed , we must a- bandou this extreme demand. " Ex-Gov. Boies of Iowa in letter to Col. D. M. Fox , of Des Moines. w m mm i m s Juht one-twelfth of McKinley's administration has passed and in that time Republicans have done , more in the way of carrying out the pledges of the platform than was ever accomplished in double that time by any previous administration. When you consid er that this has been done with a Senate in which the Eepublicans are in a minority you should cele brate the close of the first four months instead of grumbling be cause the full four years' under taking has not been completed. The position of secretary to the code commission has been tendered Frank W. Collins of Lincoln by President McKinley and the same "will be accepted. The commission "consists of Culbertson of Texas , Thompson of Ohio and Botkin of Minnesota and their work will em brace the codification and revision of the criminal and penal laws of the United States , with power to , \ make recommendations to congress for needed changes and additions Mr. Collins well earned this rec I ognition at the hands of the pres ident. Senator Thurston wat | 1 l helpful in securing the place. "Protests" coming from foreign - ! eign nations relative to the tarifi : ' , which we are about adopting art not looked upon as a serious mattei by our statesmen in Washington , A cold-blooded statistician whc wanted tosee whether these nations would really carry their threats ol retaliation against our tariff has found out that the fifteen nations I " • " 'in question enjoy in their trade , ' - - with the United States a balance i ' . in their favor amounting to § 1- 750,000,000 in the past decade , a condition they are not likely to disturb by adverse legislation even if our new tariff is not framed es- . pecially in their behalf. I. I The editor of a paper published 5 : , at Grass Valley , Cal. , published a : . strong- editorial the other day ad vocating home industries , and received - : ceived a flattering letter of thanks written on a cheap letter head print- J. ed in a neighboring city. There * "would be much more enthusiasm over the home industry business * among the newspaper men of Ne braska if so many of the men en gaged in the crusade did not do the bulk of their advertising on fences and with circulars printed in other states. When the movement is made wholly mutual , the Nebraska - - - ' raska publishers can be relied on to a man to forward it as much as j lies in their ower.

All things consideredthen , , the ariff has ceased to be a political 3sue. The majority of the people lelieve or acquiesce in a protective ariff , and most of those who do ot are not interested in it at pres ent , or likely soon to be. The fight is on other lines. The tariff which is now In conference will be likely to remain on the statute bo'oks for a long time if it produces revenue enough for the government - ment ; and if it does not produce revenue enough , the modifications will not be dictated by politics. Protection is master of the field. New York Sun. The Populists will open the county circus at Indianola on Aug ust 4th with a three-ring perform ance , and then the season may be considered opened. But the main show will come later. Date will soon be announced by the officers of the Kepublican committee. The conference committee seems to have run against a stump in the sugar and wool and woolen schedules , and the present outlook is not reassuring for the early passage of the Dingley tariff measure. The national meeting of Kepub lican leagues in Detroitthis week , has been notable for the presence and push of the young Republican element and the absence of the old wheel horses.

Let me sing of the onions so large and so round , Such an agree- . able flavor quite seldom is found. How the turnips have grownthere's one on the shelf ; Please call in your carriage and see for yourself. Let me sing of the peas , such pleasure they bring , When once on the table , let me sing , let me sing. Let me sing of the currants , I find some each day , They're going , yes going , I'm sorry to say. Never Grows Weary. Colonel Mitchell never grows weary of roasting the Populist county officials for giving the county printing to The Trib une , notwithstanding the officials only discharged their duty in contracting with the newspaper that gives the best service at the lowest price. The iron has entered • the Colonel's soul to suicidal depth. The Colonel his self-ad avers in patent , - justable ethics , that a one-half cut is within the pale of honor and self-right- iousness , but a two-thirds cut is a disgrace to the profession. The reader will ob serve the delicate difference and will appreciate the same fully when they understand that the Colonel's bid was one-half and The Tribune's one-third. The Colonel refers to his Populist official friends , "clothed with a little brief au thority , as constantly anxious to show their smartness by forcing publishers to take work at a discount" . And get those same smart fellows , make it possible for Colonel Mitchell to buy a home out of sheriffs sales profits and live on the fat of land. Truly the Colonel is amusing if not be taken seriously. The Populists will hold their county convention in Indianola , Wednesday , August 4th. &AKlK < 3 POWDER Absolutely Pure.
