A crreat manv DeoDle in the
country think they are robhed by
i 1 - 1 i 1
tne mercnanis hi rown, or at lease
thev so express themselves. They
think if they only had the money
invested in their farms and stock
wrarmed iid in a stock of eoods of
some kind in town that they would
soon be rich. During the past ten
years a number of farmers nave
tried it, and every one of them have
lost money, a few of them having
all their earthly possessions vanish
lie dew. Those who were not
bankrupted by the experiment got
out of "business" as soon as possible
and went back on the farm, where
thev are again making money. It
is all a mistake to suppose that
enormous profits are made by
merchants in our towns, as
competition is so sharp that
margin of profit is very small
manv classes of eoods. especially
groceries. If you have a good farm
stick to it. as it will pay vou better
than coming to town and going
into business.
The above from the Seward
Blade, one of the best farmers
papers in the state, contains a lare
amount of good truth. Within the
vear riast we have had two cases in
this county where disaster' attended
the change from farm to store.
30tb. Senatorial District Republican
Committee.
The last senatorial convention
for this district was held at Ogalalla
on the 30th of August, 1888. At
that time the following gentlemen
were appointed a senatorial district
committee:
Lincoln J. E. Evans.
D:wson J. W. Patterson.
Cheyenne Ed. O'Neil.
Logan J. P. Gandy.
Keith E. M, Day.
Perkins J. A. Wertz.
Arthur C. W. Keyes.
McPherson J. W. Clous.
The representative district con-
yention was held the same day in
the evening, of which no proceed
ings were published, The Tribu2je
reporter having left, and we are
unable to give the representative

This is said to be an off year in
politics. The assertion should in
duce every Republican to put his
shoulder to the wheel and insure
success.
Gov. Nichols returned the lot
tery bill to the legislature with his
objections. After the veto had
been sent in, it transpired that the
measure was in the form of a pro
posed constitutional amendment,
and the question was raised that the
governor could not veto a joint re-
solution. However tne Dili was
passed over the veto, and the
Louisiana lottery fraud will con
tinue to do business at the old
stand. North Dakota, Old Mexico,
or any other out of the way place
need not make any more bides.

Some people are natural kickers
thej want to find fault, they
want to be contrary. They are not
so much to blame lor practicing
this delectable habit for they were
built that way, and are only follow
ing nature's bent. But there are
some who are kickers from pure
cussedness. They cannot be
pleased, no matter what concession
or fair argument is used. While
the action of the Republican county
central committee in deciding to
hold two conventions meets with
general approval, a few very few
find fault and indict the party on
general principals for this action.
The committee discussed the subject
and there was a free expression of
opinion. The time for the repre
sentative, senatoral and congres
sional conventions had not Teen
decided upon,
and
the matter of
candidates had not been discussed.
To elect delegates to those conven
tions and nominate candidates for
county officers under such circum
stances would have been manifestly
improper. Under the circumstances
the action of the committee could
hardly have been otherwise.

Suflrereetlons in Regard to the Sugar
Beet Culture.
Reports from the sub-stations
established in the spring, by the
State Experinment Station, for the
purpose of determining the effect
of the varying conditions of soil
and climate on the growth of, and
the production of sugar in, the
Sugar Beet are, in the main, good.
In many places, especially in the
i extreme western part of the state,
beets have suffered from hot wether
and a lack of rain, as a rule though
they seem to withstand these un
favorable conditions as well as corn
and better than small grain.
From some points reports tell us
that insect enimies have begun their
ravages.
As the best methods of cultiva
tion with us are to be determined
by experiment, the suggestion is
made to those having small plats,
that during the dry wether the.
ground be frequently (at least once
a weak) hoed or stirred. Not only
will this method of procedure keep
the ground free from weeds, but it
will also aid the plant to withstand
the efforts of dry and hot wether,
This last effect is caused bv break
ing up the little canals or channels
formed in the soil by the passage of
the moisture from the ground to
air, thus retarding the evaporation
of moisture from the son and per-

If possible, hoe one half of the plat

once in two or even three weeks
and carefully note the effects on, the

As there are several kinds

Directions for sending such
specimens I copy from Bulletin

Young Trees on Tree Claims," just

"Whenever possible, insects

In the House of Representatives,
on the 26th of June. Mr. Dorsey,
the chairman of the committee on
banking and currency, reported a
substitute for the bill chartering
the International bank. The de
sign of the committee, in preparing
the new bill, was stated to be that
the new measure should retain all
the essential features of the orig
inal bill, and that the largest and
I il i t a
most tnorougn control ot the cor
poration should be kept without in
any manner making the govern
ment responsible for the business
the bank may do, or for the risks it
may incur. The bill contains some
of the provisions of the National
Banking act, requiring reports of
i n ms n
the condition of anairs or the cor
poration to be published, ind vest
ing m the Comptroller of the Cur-
rency and the secretary ot the
Treasury full power at any and all
times to examine into the affairs of
the corporation, empowering these
officers to compel any impairment
of its capital stock to be made good,
failing which the corporation may
be wound up. Mr. Dorsey says
that the corporation proposed can
in no manner become a competitor
of the National banks in their or
dinary business. This, however, is
a debatable matter. The new bank
will have the privilege of branch
banking, and its charter specially
gives it the power to borrow money,
to act as a guarantee or a trust
company, and to issue mercantile
and bankers1 letters of credit, just
as such letters may be issued by
private bankers. In one respect,
however, this bank is to be restrict
ed. It will have no power to issue
note3 to circulate as currency.

After a fierce and protracted
struggle, the house passed the Lodge
Federal Election bill at 9 o'clock
on Wednesday night. The exciting
scenes attending the passage of the
McKinley tariff bill wece re-enacted
with increased violence and aug
mented bitterness. Only two Re
publican members voted against
the bill Lehlback of New Jersey,
and Coleman of Louisiana. The
Nebraska delegation voted for the
bill. It now goes to the Senate.
Half a million people are sup

a small part of the plate is tin, the
bulk of it being iron or steel that

tween $20,000,000 and $20,000,000
are sent abroad every year simply
because we have not the gumption
to take care of our own interests to
the extent of building up the home

Yankee shrewdness deserting us?

been nominated to different posi

tried nearly every political party,
"and now if the Alliance does not
take him up and make him repre

concerning 109 leading American
colleges and universities. Of all
the institutions mentioned but ten
are younger than the University of
Nebraska. In point of attendance
our university ranks twenty-eighth;
in 1890 graduated our rank is forty
fourth; in volumes in library the
rank is fifty-eighth; in endowment,
thirteenth. The showing is on the
whole favorable to the University
of Nebraska. The attendance and
number of graduates would . of
