OUB 80UD GROWTH EDITION.
The Tmbuite is making prepara
tions to issue a bier edition
early in the spring for the purpose
of properly setting forth the advan
tages and merits of Lincoln County
and North Platte. It will-not be a
"boom" edition, but a solid growth
edition. While surrounding towns
and counties have been booming
North Platte has been, making
solid substantial growth, while the
county has more than doubled in
population, indicative of permanent
investment that has come to stay.
The preparation of this work will
involve the expenditure of a large
amount of labor and money, but we
trust the people will give the move
tneir corwai cooperation and assis
tance. For the historical part,
facts, ffufes, biographies of early
semen, ana incidents or pioneer
history tee earnestly solicited from
thoat who have personal knowledge
xf the ettring events that made up
the early history of the county.
Statements is regard to the yield of
crops, anl other branches of hus
bandry, are invited. Also articles
on stock growing, dairy farming,
etc We hope our farmer friends
will not be backward in furnishing
this information. The edition will
be printed on fine book paper, and
will consist of eight, and perhaps
twelve, pages of The Tribune, giv
ing illustrations of prominent men,
buildings, etc.
Those who can furnish us data
are requested to do so without delay.

Atteb all Cleveland is a shrewder
politician than the leaders of either
party are willing to admit. He dis
cerned the importance of making
himself an issue. Had he only in
cidentally touched on the tariff and
devoted the balance of his message
to the consideration of many sub
jects, it would have been common
place, eliciting only the ordinary
comment upon such documents.
Cleveland could see this would not
make an issue, and would not make
him the issue. By his one subject
message he mis thrown down the
gauntlet, and the democrats are
obliged to take him for their cham
pion. So far as the nomination of
a presidential candidate is concerned

With May corn at 55 cents per
bushel in the Chicago market do
our readers realize what a."bonanza"
Nebraska has this year? The crop
in this state this rear will reach
120,000,000 bushels. Put this at 40
cents a bushel,, or even 35 cents, and
here is a grand aggregate of $4S.
000,000 down to $30,000,000. As
this is higher than it has been for
sereral years, it represents a clear
gain of at least 20,000,000 over and
above the crop of last year.
With the enormous amount of
fresh financial blood pouring into
the state, it looks for tne present as
though next season will be the most
prosperous ever known in Nebraska.
Omaha will get her share of the
general prosperity, and the number
of big buildinds going up, and other
improvements will be enough to
make the' head of .eastern capital
swim. Omaha Republican.
The fact that, under the rule
prescribed by the last republican na
tional convention, state conventions
are required to be held at least thir
ty days before the national conven
tion, will bring about jauearly open

ventions are undesirable; it will b
nesessary to nominate the state tick
et at the same time when the foui
delegaaes-at-large to the national

rule this cannot be later than the
