The hand of Death is preparing
the way for the "man of destiny" to
make a new supreme court.
Years with three 8's are said to
be lucky years. They ought to he,
for they only come once in a
thousand years.
Indications at present point to
the nomination of Gresham as a
wise act on the part of the National
Republican Convention.
Nebraska Republicans feel kind
ly towards Allison, for he is a good
man; but they do not think he is
the strongest man, and a strong
man is what is wanted.
Members of the Republican
county central committee will make
a note of the cail for a meeting is
sued by Chairman Nesbitt. It
has . been set for a convenient time
during the session of the district
court, when many of the promi
nent people of the county will be
in the city.
Several papers having nomin
ated goodman Van Wyck for Vice
Presidential candidate on the Dem
ocratic ticket, we have been trying
for two weeks to get in a second to
the motion, but were not able to
"catch the eye of the speaker."
Being finally recognized, we second
the motion most heartily.
Referring to the Inter-Ocean's
suggestion, that the President
should appoint Judge Cooley, of the
inter-state railway commission, to
the supreme court, the Omaha Re
publican very sensibly remarks that
such talk is an idle waste of wind.
We do not ask Cleveland to appoint
a Republican.
We notice that in some counties
at the assessor's meeting to agree
on uniform valuations, that as low
sis "one-sixth of actual cash value"
was agreed upon and made a mat
ter of record. It is a question if
such proceedings will not invalidate
the entire assessment. The law
provides that property shall be as
sessed at its full value, and directs
how that valuation shall be ascer
tained. agreement TfffioriEr as-
sesors mat property shall be as
sessed at one-fifth or one-sixth of
. "actual cash value" is clearly a vio
lation of the intent of the law, and
would it not also be a violation of
.obligation? They are sworn to
perform their duties according to
law. What the law contemplates
by requiring the annual meeting of
assessors is that they shall agree up
on the value of the various classes
of property to be assessed, that
there may be uniformity, as near as
possible, in their valuations. For
instance, an average work horse
may be worth $75 in the estima
tion of one man, while another may
not consider him worth more than
$40. To agree upon a fair and un
iform valuation is the undoubted in
tention of the meeting. To agree
io assess him at a certain per cen
.tage of his valuation is an error, of
which vwe hope the assessors of this
county have not been guilty. I
Chief Justice Watte died at his
residence in Washington at 6:30 on
Friday morning, the 23d inst, veiy
unexpectedly. He was born in
Connecticut in 1817, being in his
72d year at the time of death. He,
was appointed chief justice of the
supreme court by President Grant
in 1873.

As soon as pleasant
weather sets in. now close at

the County should begin to prepare

made interesting for the Democrats,

DUTCH FLATS.
Well, Mr. Editor, I will represent
Dutch Jb ats as it is worthy of its
name, all lively, rain or shine, the
German will plow and sow wheat
and oats and if they starve others
will follow.
Joseph Bouf man went to North
Platte last week. He has his wheat
ground ready for seeding; he moved
on his homestead last week. Stick
to it Baufman.
C. M. Bollisli has his wheat in
the ffiound awaiting sunshine to
sprout it.
C. Stagemenn says he will not be
out done on crops this year, ten
acres of wheat and ten of oats will
go in the mother earth in a few
days. He is industrious and hig
enough to do, and to stick to what
he savs.
A. Barnekie went to the Platte
last week; he has lots of small grain
sown, has purchased a bran new
corn planter and a lazy cultivator,
so he can ride and plow his corn
and potatoes at ease.
Joyful day for two of our voung
eople on the Medicine. Charles
locke and Miss Sue Green were
ioined in wedlock Marcli 19. We
had looked for"" it to happen long
ago. Thev are well mated and the
Dutch Flats sends them much joy
and happiness.
Our school will begin about the
second Tuesday in April, with Miss
Whisler as teacher. Schooling is
needed badly and it is time to begin.
James Elder and wife took a live
ly trip to Curtis last week.
Louie Lourke is preparing ground
on his timber claim for trees; its a
pity some of the fair sex have not
stormed his tort yet. He says, come,
I am worthy.
William Elder has been assisting
at A. Davis store for several days.
Well, Mr. Editor, every paper we
get from you we think is best; The
Tribune is getting better and more
interesting every week. The people
want all the news and look anxious
ly for The Tribune.
Henry Horn went to the Platte
last Saturday to prove up and he is
happy. Now a wife would make a
happy home; go for him some one.
John T. Labille says some of
these days when he gets mad he is
going to declare war against the
Dutch Flats' dogs and slay all such
as come at ' him, off of their pre
mises. Fred Kester has been busy sow
ing wheat; he has about ten acres
broadcasted and not harrowed in on
account of the last snow; he will
sow fifteen acres of oats and other
small grain.

Chicago, HI., March 28 The
Burlington engineers and firemen
iractically cut away from their
eaders and their grievance com
mittees, to-dav, and took hold of
the strike with a firm grin. The
reason for this action was that the
more impulsive had become impa
tient over the slow and apparently
unsuccessful methods of Chief Ar
thur. They wanted to strike the
nail on the head, so they appointed
committees and sent them out to
work. Every road running into
Chicago was visited, and pledges
were obtained from all the switch
men and switch engineers that un
der no circumstances would ,they
move a Burlington car. Later in
the day a mass meeting was held.
Delegates from all of the roads
were present and the pledges made
to the committee were repeated.
To-night the strikers claimed that
an inflexible boycott against the
Burlington cars "had been estab
lished, and they were positive that
not a Burlington car would be
moved to-morrow in Chicago ex-:
cept on Burlington tracks. The
strikers intimated that further
steps in the great struggle with the
T, T ' i 11111 'i
rmrimgton would oe taten in a
day or two. All this, it has been
given out, has been done in defi
ance of Chief Arthur and other
leaders. Such statements, however,'
are not generally believed. The
ostensible revolt is looked upon by
man as simply a covert change in
the strikers' plans of campaign.
The result of the new tactics may
not have been seen for the present.
The Burlington is not ready to ex
change freight with the connect
ing lines. When the company is
sufficiently equipped with switch
men to again offer its cars to other
roads the real battle begins. The
leading feature of the new boycott
will be that the men will quit
work individually when ordered to
handle Burlington cars. No gen
eral strike will be ordered and the
instructions of the men's own exec
utive officers will be disregarded
at least in appearance.

The death of Chief Justice Waite
will precipitate upon the country in
the approaching campaign the ques
tion of the political complexion of
the supreme court. When Mr.
Waite's successor has been appoint-

ed, tnree places on tne supreme
bench will be filled with democrats.
Three ofthe present justices- have

This makes it practically certain
that the next president will deter
mine the political character of the
court, and the voters of the coun
try will be called upon to decide
this fall whether or not it shall be
democratic, with all that word im
plies. State Journal .
The Faber saw two tree claims,
near Cambridge, the other day, on
each of which final proor was made
last year. The preponderance of
the trees were Cottonwood but on
each there were walnut, catalpa,
boxelder and a few of some other
varieties but none had grown more
thriftily or presented a more pros
perous appearance than the catalpa.
One trouble with that variety is,
however, that the rabbits make sad
havoc with them while they are
voung. The stand, on both claims,
was excellent and they were of good
size for lour years growth. They
had evidently been kept pretty free
from weeds which is a very impor
tant consideration m the cultivation
of trees. Stockvillc Faber.
