Bixby , the philosopher the Nebraska State Journal asked his readers this question : After you have obtained revenge , how much better do you eel ? " It is a very pertinent question and one that few , if any of us , have ever ' asked oursel vrs. Perhaps at times when you had . . claimed your revenge and were fired with the first thrill of exultation - tation ; when you had demanded .and received of your enemy an # i eye for an eye , or a tooth for a i tooth you have cried aloud , "Af- l ter you have obtained revenge , i how much better do you feell"- ! hut you have ended the expression with an exclamation point. But after the first sense of gratification - tion has passed away , and your enemies tears no longer fall and his sighs are hushed ; after every thing has been said and clone , have you exclaimed , "After you have obtained revenge , how much better do you feel ? " and ended it with an interrogation point , and made it a pertinent and searching question unto yourself ? The next time that you have obtained revenge - venge , ask yourself this question I and you will be surprised at the answer you will receive How much better do you feel ? Has it brought you that peace that nothing else could have . brought ? Has the game be\11 ! worth the candle ? If you are uf ; ! honest with yourself ; if you have r - asked these things of your con- science in the spirit of one who I . honestly seeks information , the answer must always be a nega- tive. Your conscience ! : will re- mind you of all the evil thoughts r of all the unreasoning hatred , of aU the hours wasted in the malicious - licious planning of evil of all your contemptible plotting , and your conscience will upbraid you and when conscience calls any man to account , how much better does he feel ? Does an outraged conscience all.w in any case a peaceful ! mind ? There arc those r. . w , who hold that hell is but eternal accusation on the part of con- science. Is there any peace of mind in hell ? When the cards have an been played and you have robbed your victim of his all , was the stake of tears and the wager of sighs worth the time and the candle ? Were it.I I gold you had won it might buy you momentary joy and fleeting pleasure , but what can you buy with another's tears ? As you turn from the table over which the tcar-stained cards arc scattered - ed , and go back to your life work how much better do you feel ? EATING DOGS. Considerable furor has been raised because the savage Igor- rotes who have been transported from their native wilds to St. Louis for exposition purposes , in- 'sist on having dog meat served as rations. The effete civilization of St. Louis stands aghast at the thought of human beings regal- ing themselves on canine flesh. But after an it is only a matter of taste. The Igorrote stomach probably craves dog - sneat in much the same manner as the civilized stomach craves beef or mutton or pork , and why should not that appetite be gratified ? The hu- mane organizations threaten to interfere , but unless it is proposed to subject the dogs to torture , the interference is unwarranted. The killing of dogs for food would be no more brutal than the slaughter - ter of sheep and steers and hogs as it takes place in our big pack- ing houses every day The sheep is the symbol of innocence , but the humane organizations do not seek to interfere every time a lamb is led to the slaughte-r. This . is because civilized man likes his lamb chops. The colored - ed man delights in eating the flesh of the fatted opossum , while but few white men care to par- take thereof , yet there is no par- ticular objection to the son of Ham pursuing , killing and devouring - vouring the opossum if he so de- sircs. If a civilized man should decide to have Fide served for his Sunday dinner and should he kill thc beast as humanely as he would kill the fatted calf , his neighbors might question his taste , but they would hardly question his right so to do. 'Vithout ' snaking much fuss about it , Fall City is going to do considerable growing this summer. \"hen two things happen , , the republicans in this neck of the woods will feel mighty good. These two things arethe appoint- ment . of Harry Lindsay to clerk of the supreme court , and the selection of C. B. Dempster to be delegate-at-Iarge to the national - al COI1\'cn tion. - - - - . . , , . . , HOLT'S - . . : " ' " " " \ ' . , \ , .j" ' : ' . , . Shoe Store . Palls City , Neb.

Assessor Jorn demands that the motto of each deputy assessor shan be "Equa1ity before the new revenue law. " Just now the paramount ques- tion is not , who will be the next president of the United States , or the next United States senator from Nebraska but who win be the next chief of police of 'Fa 11s City ? The senatorial convention will be held at Pawnee City tomor- row. The convention will endorse Hon. E. A. trucker for state sel ; - ator and then , . . adjourn. \Ir. Tuckers election will be practi- cany assured from the start and as a sequence this district will be assured of thc most able of representation - resentation in the upper house of the next legislature. When it came to appointing a successor to Judge Baxter the newly made district attorney Gov- ernor Mickey took the reins in his own hands and named Ed- mund M. Bartlett to fill the va- cant district judgeship.tfhe appointment is conceded by host everyone to be a good one , and it is also generally understood that the prompt action on the part of the governor prevented a lively factional scrap over the pum. ] The Journal has again attacked C. F. Reavis , this time charging him with having fought Falloon during the recent city election. The inference is that he supported - ed the prohibition candidate It has only been a short time since these same people were sending out circulars denouncing Reavis aR a drunkard. The various edi- tors of that misguided periodical should get together and compare systems. The Tribune has no reason to believe that l\'lr. Rcavis . fought Falloon , but he had a per- fcct right so to do if he desired. .Mr. Rcavis was not even present at the citizen convention and / I having taken 110 part therein was not bound to support the ticket. Furthermore on the day that the city election was held 1\11' Reavis went to Omaha to argue a case ; and probably took no part in the election further than to cast his ballot. But there is a standing f rule in the Journal office that when copy runs short the editor . . . . . . nearest the desk shall grab a pen ' ! f' and roast Reavis. Unless the unexpected happens the entire republican county ticket - et will be elected this fall We have heard democrats comment on the strength of the ticket and have heard them freely admit that it is a hard combination to b at.trhis is not saying that they wi11 not make an attempt to p beat it but it will not be as ener- getic and as enthusiastic an attempt - tempt as it would have been had the republicans nominated any- body else but Smith , Griustead , .
