The Tribune notices that the name o H. M. Grimes, of this city, is frequently men tioned by state politicians as a probaWe candidate for Mr. Kern's shoes, and one who could poll the full vote of the party. Ox Thursday of last week there were 612 bills and eight resolutions presented in the senate, amor them one bv Plumb to provide for the retirement of national bank notes and the free coinage of silver The work of the dav broke the record of all past senates. A "WELL conducted board of trade is helpful to a town as well as to the individual members, and we may expect much good to result from the one which is about to be organized in this city. The com mittee appointed to organize the a meeting of the citizens. Nothing would hare a greater tendency to bring back disaffected Nebraska republicans into the party than the nomination or rlaine as the standard bearer for 1892. It has been noticed that at every state, district, county or township repub lican meetinsr the mere mention of Blaine's name has caused a wild and prolonged applause. He is the man needed to solidify the party in Ne- braska. With a working majority of one "hundred and twenty-five in the house of representatives, the demo crats will have great opportunity to pass and send to the senate tor con currence many laws which they claim is needed by the country. But as the democratic party is conceded to be a party of blunderers It likely its majority in congress wil work evil rather than good both to the country and the organization is The Chicago Inter uceau says that if a man wants to settle m wide-awake community all he has to do is to look at local newspapers A wide-awake well-supported home newspaper is always associated with rood schools, cuurcues. active uusi new and intelligent people. I sever fails. JNo business man or i i pioseer in any community manes "any better investment than the dollars he gives to the support of a food home newspaper. Our Nebraska senators lost no ime in, offering measures in the senate. Among those offered bv Senator Paddock were the following: A bill for the protection of trees and other growth on the public do main trom destruction by the light ing of fires on prairies; to create a permanent tariff commission to make investigation and report facts as a basis for legislation similar to he amendment which is offered to the McKinley bill; making the com missioner or hsh and fisheries an officer of the department of agri culture; providing for a public building at Hastings, to cost S75,- 000; providing for the deposit of Forts Hartsuff, Sheridan and Mc- Pherson under the homestead laws; providing for a federal building at Lincoln to. cost 1000,000; for the relief of Wesley Montgomery and the heirs or Lieutenant Commander Wilson McGunnigle. Senator Man- derson reintroduced his three batal- lion-bill, and and also offered a bill to create postal savings banks; one to establish a branch mint at Oma ha; one to divide Nebraska into three judicial districts, the Platte river to be the line of division; to provide that notice of sale of real estate held under the orders, judg ment or decree of a United States court shall be pub lished in the county and state where the property is situated, etc. (this bill was favorably reported in the last congress); increasing the appropriation for the purchase of a site and the erection of a public building at Omaha to cost 2,000, 000; giving Norfolk a public build ing to cost $100,000; preventing the summary cancellation of pen sion certificates and providing for hearings in relation thereto; appro priating S00,000 for buildings for the military storehouse and offices at the military depot at Omaha, the amount to be immediately available. Mr. Manderson also introduced his old bill increasing the rate of pen sions of certain persons. The first bill introduced in the senate on Thursday was senator Paddock's pure food bill. It is nsmbered S. F. 1, and will be pushed by the Ne braska senator for all he is worth". Senator Paddock has reason to hope that the measure will recsive favor able attention at the hands of tha present congress. Statistics show, says an ex change, that the cattle supply is gradually decreasing. The farmer who owns many cattle during the next five years will make more money out or them than has ever heretofore been realized. The short crops of Europe has resulted in the killing of many of the cattle kept for breeding purposes, and the beef Kunnlv will have to come from this country for several years to come. At least four years of unprecedented prosperity is ahead of the farmer and stock-raisers of America. The census statistics and the claims of the Peffer-Donnelly crowd are. at variance to a notable degree. The latter claim that the farmers own twenty-two per cent of the nation's wealth and pay eighty per cent of the taxes, while the former prove that the farmers own forty per cent of the taxable wealth and pay thirty per cent of the taxes. Fair minded men will accept as re liable and correct tne census giaus tics, knowing as they must that the claims of Peffer and others are made purely for political effect. The desperate efforts of the in dependents leaders and press to make appear that they suffered no great loss in Kansas at the election this fall is not borne up by figures. Last year there were 424 county officers and to elect, and the alli ance elected 324 of them, the repub licans 71, and the democrats 29. This year the republicans elected 277, the alliance 127, and the demo crats 20. The alliance lost 197 offices and the republicans gained 206. It will take an alliance expert to show how that party has held its own. After securing location of a beet sugar factory, North Platte wants to" turn her attention toward getting a plant for manufacturing twine and rope from hemp. Expensive machinery is not required in such a manufactory and the capital needed could probably be raised among the residents of our city. Hemp grows luxuriantly in the Platte valley and an industry which requires such raw materials as we can grow are the kind we want and the ones which will prove the most profitable to the investors. It is of double benefit, making a home market for the product grown by the farmer and giving employment for many laborers. The Tribune endorses the opin ion of au exchange that President Harrison made an unfortunate over sight in neglecting to mention in his message the growing evils of nnrestricted immigration. As long as the offscourings of other coun tries are allowed to laud on our shores we may expect a gradual degradation of American laborers. A large per cent of the foreigners who have been arriving during the past ten years, and especially the treacherous Italians, are not of the class who become industrious law abiding citizens and the fewer we have of them the better. The United States offers homes for the thrifty foreigners but should not be turned into an .asylum f6r the igno a rant, degraded and vicious. i 33?'

Our chief national dagger, he says, lies in the possible overthrow pf , majority control by jtbjBwnppres sion or perversion of popular suff rage, and he believes that it would be possible to constitute a commis sion, non-partisan in its member ship and composed of patriotic, wise and impartial men. to whom a consideration of the question of the evils connected with our election system and methods might be com mitted with a good prospect of securing unanimity in some plan ior removing or mitigating tnose evils. In conclusion the president says: "I have been greatly rejoiced to notice many evidences of the in creased unification of our people and a revived national spirit. The vista that now opens to us is wider and more glorious than ever betore. Gratification and amazement strug gle for supremacy as we contem plate the population, wealth and moral strength of our country. A trust, momentous in its influence a i 1 1 upon our people ana upon tne world, is for a brier time committed fo us, and we must not be faithless to its first condition the defence of the free and the equal influence of in the choice of public officers and m the control of public affairs. V NOT LINCOLN'S WORDS; JNo paragraph has beenjtniore constantly and persistently quoted by calamity organs and pessimistic orators than the following1 !eged quotation from President Xmcoln: "I see in the near future," Eaid Abra nam Lin coin in 1865, "a crisis approach ing that unnerves me and causes me to tremble for the safety of my country. As a result of the war, corporations have oeen enthroned and era of corruption in xiign pinces v.in lollow and the money power of the country will endeavor to prolong its reign by working upon tb& prejudices of the people until all wealth! is aggregated in a few hands and- the' republic is destroyed. I feel at this moment more anxiety for the safety of my country than ever before, even in the midst of war." Ex-Senator Ingalls, in a letter to the Kansas City Star, points out the facts that neither these words or anything resembling them appears in any ot the letters, messages or speeches of Lincoln. The internal evidence is against theis authentic ity. Lincoln did not live more than a fortnight after the fall of Rich mond dad decided the fate of the rebellion, his death occurring in fact sometime before the war actu ally closed. Mr. Nicolay, former secretary and later his biographer, has never seen such expressions in the writings or utterances of the martyred president. Evidently if Lincoln had given expression to such gloomy forebodings during the last two weeks of his life, the only time he could possibly have' used such language, it would have attracted such wide attention that there could have been no trouble in citing the exact time, place or cir cumstances. As it is, nobody has" ever professed to give the letter, conversation, message or speech in which these words occur, making it absolutely certain that the entire Suotation , like the famous "Hazard ircular" and other calamity fiuger posts, is a malignant and stupid for gery. Winfield (Kansas,) Courier. More serious sickness is produced by allowing the bowels to remain in a torpid or partially constipated condition than from any other cause. In many instances diseases are pro duced, from which people never wholly recover. Dspep3ia, piles and nervous disorders are three, of the most common and most serious. They are caused by neglecting the bowels, and can be prevented be an occasional dose of St. Patrick's Pills, which always produce a pleasant cathartic effect, and hot only physic but cleanse the whole system and regulate the liver and bowels. 25 cents per box, for sale by A.

There is a lady in Lincoln wants a 50 beaver cap and is ing nickels and dimes to buy THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE. The Tribuxe cannot devote space sufficient to give the presi dent s message m full, but gives the following resume. The message which wa3 trans mitted to congress at noon on Wed nesday of last week, opens with the affairs of the state department touchinsr upon the Behring sea question, meat inspection, tho Bra' zilian troubles, the New Orleans lynching, our relations with Chili, and other matters. In regard to the Chilian troubles, he intimates that full and prompt reparation from that government will be ne cessary. The Nicaraugua canal project is endorsed and government aid recommended. Under the head of treasury de partment he congratulates the country upon its present prosperity and contentment, and says: think there are conclusive evidences that the new tariff has created sev eral new industries which will within a few years give employment to several hundred thousand Ameri can workiugmen and women." Speaking of silver the president ex presses himself in favor of the double standard but declares that free coinage would be disastrous. The war department is briefly treated. He approves of Senator Manderson's three batallion recom mendation. The administration of the post office department is approved, and he points with pleasure to the fact that eight thousand, miles of new postal service has been established upon Tailroads, the car distribution to sub-stations in the great cities has been increased about 12 per cent, while the percentage of errors in distribution has, during the past year, been reduced over one-half. He approves the proposed rural free delivery and advocates the modified use of telegraph in connection with the postal service. The satisfactory growth or the new navy is referred to. He says: L commend to your iavorable con sideration the recommendations of the secretary, who has, I am sure, given to them tne most conscienti ous study. There should be no hesitation in promptly completing All 1 1 I a navy or the oest mouern type, large enough to enable this country to display its flag in all seas for the protection of its citizens, and of its extending conimercre. The world needs no assurance of the peacef ul purposes of the United States, but we shall prooabty be, m the tuture, more largely competitors in the commerce of the world, and it is essential to the dignity of this na tion, and to that peaceful influence which it should exercise on this hemisphere, that its navy should be adequate, both upon the shores or the Atlantic and the Pacific. There is nothing under the in terior department heading of special importance. The work ot the agricultural de partment, particularly in securing meat inspection, is commended. He refers to the fact that the grain crop of this year was the largest in our history 50 per cent greater than that of last year, and yet the market that has opened and the larger demand resulting from short crops in Europe, have sustained prices to such an extent that the7 enormous surplus of meats and hreadstuffs will be marketed at good prices, bringing relief and prosperity to an industry that was much depressed. The civil service commission nas done a good work, and he recom mends that the appropriations ior the commission be made adequate to the increased work of the next fiscal year. TTndfir the head of "Improving Election Methods" he suggests the appointment of a non-partisan comr A Safe Investment; Is one which is guaranteed to bring you satisfactory' results, or in case of failure a return of purchase price.

He sizes up the situation about right when he says that their only object in switching was to get a pull at patronage. He does not want them back in the democratic ranks, "for," he says, "not one of them will add one iota to the cause of democracy in 1892. They know nothing of democratic principles and cave less. They are torch bearers for free drinks. They did their dirtiest to destroy the demo cratic party when' they left it, and now when they find themselves dis appointed they come running back like mangy curs. Any democratic ediior who a f'.w weeks ago was playing his mud guns on democrats and howling for the independent ticket, and is already reconverted to democracy, is a stinker of stinkers and is not safe to trust feeding hogs with corn at 30 cents a bushel." Bee. Merit Wins.

It is to be feared that Colonel Van Wyclc is taking a course that will result in the administration of another spanking from the Burrows end of the farmers alliance machine. The ex-senator, acting as a member of the Nebraska alliance, has written on to Washington asking that certain measures be passed by con- gress to secure Tenet lor the peo pie." Among other thiugs he wants the senators elected hv pop ular vote, the enactment of a law providing for loaning money direct ly to the people, the establishment of postal savings banks, the control of the telegraphy bv the goverumen and the coinage of more silver. If these things are clone he intimates that the alliance will not get up and kick the root oil the hrmameut, as it certainly will if nothing is done "for the relief of the people the Nebraska alliance may want all these things and more, but the powers that be will never forgive the senator for the presumption he has shown in making the demand personally inste r.d of allowing it to go through the regular official channels the medicine is kept on hand, as we are convinced it should be."

The treasury department has appointed a special aaent to whom thi manufacturers are re- I quested to make report of the amount of tin and terne plate manu factured daily from the present time until the 1st of October, 1897.

The editor of the West J3 ranch, Iowa Record, gives his readers some good advice: 'We have used Chamberlain s Cough Remedy in our family in cases of suuueu cuius uuu sure iiircac anu find it all that is claimed for it. One bottle or less, if taken accord- ; to directions, will, we believe effect a cure in anv ordinary case and save the expense of large doctor bills. Especially do we recommend it in families where the children are threatened with croup, as it will afford immediate relief, if taken in j time which can always be done if Sutherland ! Sutherland is located near the center of a beautiful level section of land on the Union Pacific Rail way about eighteen miles west of North Platte. Good bridges span the North and South Platte rivers at this point, making a large sec tion of fine agricultural country tributary to it. It must necessarily become a good town and keep pace with the improving country which it will suppty. It affords a good opportunity for the location of a hotel, grain buying, lumber and coal yard, merchandise, livery stable blacksmith shop or other businese that will be patronized by a thrifty agricultural community, and it is always the case that those who come first and establish a business acquaintance reap the greatest ben efit in the rise of tha value of prop erty as well as in other respects.
