NORTH PLATTE, NEBRASKA,
Is centrally ritunted .in the triangular figure
boifadcd by lines drawn from Omaha to Cheyonne,
thence to Denver, from thence to starting point.
It is 291 miles fiom the first named city, 22Ti miles
from the second, and 250 miles from the third,
naving a population of 1,000 people it is the head
quarters of both freight and passenger divisions of
the II. P. Il'y Co., and is tho home of about 500
railway employes whot-o monthly pay roll amounts
tobome $3:,000.00. Almost 200 miles of irrigation
canals uro rapidly ueurfcig completion, which will
bring into tho highest state of cultivation 150,000
acres of tho most productive land upon which the
sun's rays shine. The citizenship of North Platte
is that of tho best afforded by tho older tlutes, and
her poople are active, progressive anil prosperous.
To the iudustrious. energetic home-seeter from
the crowded east North I'latto and Lincoln county
presents unusual advantages. Thousands of acres
of vacant government land, in close proximity to
those nlready being brought under irrigation, may
be obtained by consulting the United States land
oflicc in North Platle. A letter o inquiry to "U.
S. Register, North Platte, Neb.," relative to Ihe
above will bo courteously answered. Irrigated
farming is no longer an experiment, but has
reached tho point where it is acknowledged as
pre-eminently the safest in all seasons method
of conducting ngricultur.il and horticultural oper
ations. The salubrious and life-giving climate of
Lincoln county, where malaria is unknown nnd
where pulmonary troubles are uuthought of, is
another Incentive to the location therein of thoe
who nre anxious to enjoy the good things of this
lifo as long as possible North Pialto churches
nuil schools are above Uiomj of eastern communi
ties, tho latter being one of the few in Nebraska
pormlltlng the graduate thereof to enter the State
University without an Intermediate preparatory
training. Tho people of tho community gladly
welcome tho honest, industrious eastern citizen
whu is eager to betterhis condition and assisting in
the upbulldiug and development of a comparatively
new country.
The more or less able lawmakers
down at Lincoln are now serving
the dear people without reward, the
sixt3'-da' term provided by law
having- expired last Friday. It is
likely the session will be continued
until the middle of next week.
Maxy farmers who left western
Nebraska last fall are now return
ing, and a number of new settlers
are to be seen wending" their wvy
westward in prairie schooner-.
Last year gave Nebraska a black
eye. but fortunately this state
rapidly recovers from such misfor
tunes as that of 1S94.
There is reason to believe that
H. M. Grimes, of this city, will Joe
the republican nominee for district
judge this fall, at least the feeling'
throughout the district is favorable
to his nomination. As a lawyer
Mr. Grimes has no superior in
western Nebraska, and that he
would make an able and impartial
judge must be admitted by all.
His candidacy would mean his election.
The city- council should, at the
end of the present municipal year,
direct the clerk to have published a
statement of the receipts and ex
penditures of the city during' the
past year, and also a clear state
ment, of the municipal debt. Such
statements have not been made
regularly each year, and the citi
zens have had no opportunity to
keep posted on the exact condition
of the city's finances.
At the coming- city election there
will be put one ticket in the field,
a condition that has never before
existed in the history of North
Platte. The lack of opposition is
not due so much to apathy on the
part of the citizens as it is to the
belief that the ticket in the field
could not possibly be defeated by
anv combination which might be
made. It is safe to say that the
vote cast on Tuesday of next week
will be very light, and also that the
several candidates will need spend
very little money on election da-.
Up to date the prospects for a
crop this season is not flattering.
but it should be rememberd that
prior to April 1st, 1891. we had little
if any more precipitation than we
have had this year, and get 1S91
was the greatest crop year ever
known in the state. There will.
of course, be a scarcity of seed, vet
it is gratifying" to note that quite
a number of cars of seed irrain are
being- shipped into the count.
The S4, 000 which this county will
et from the state appropriation
will also be a great help to the des
titute but persevering farmers.
Yes, Charley. The Tribune has
refused in times past to publish
some of your communications re
fused to do so because the matter
was so much more slushy" than
Maxwell Correspondence or Rail
road Resume. But you remember,
Charley, on several occasions this
paper published several of 3-our
articles on "Negro Outrages iu the
South." and before the ink was dry
you had mailed copies of the paper
to a certain gentleman in "Wash
ington and in the same mail for
warded a letter stating that you
were "the editorial writer" on The
Tribune. It also happened that
just at that .time jou were an ap
plicant 'for the' postoffice at North
Platte, and you were evidently
gratified to call yourself "the edi
torial writer on The Tribune."
As to your republicanism, Charley,
there is room to doubt your fealty
to trie party and it is not out of
place to ask if you gave your sup
port to the election of John E.
Evans for county clerk several
years ago, or if you used your
wonderful (?) influence to secure
the elect-on of Dr. Longley to the
legislature. It may not be out of
place to also ask how liberally you
responded to tjhe..calt for funds- for
county campaign expenses during
the four years you were a federal
office-holder.
Bevival of the Monroe Doctrine.
The almost simultaneous actions
of Spain and Great Britian are
curious, to say the least. Great
Britian, after a vain attempt at
control of the destinies of Hawaii
and of the commerce of the Pacific
by means of a perpetual lease of
Necker Island, a lease to the grant
ing of which President Cleveland
and Secretary Gresham were fat
uously favorable, seems to have
gone to work with intent to secure
such a footing in Nicaragua and
and Venezuela as may make her
dominant over the projected ship
canal, and over the trade of the
great Oriuoco River. Very oddly,
just at the time of England's ener
getic action on the continent Spain
makes such au unfriendly demon
stration in the Caribbean Sea as to
make it likely that the Atlantic
squadron of the United States will
be withdrawn from the coasts of
the Central American republics. If
the concurrent actions have been
planned by the two European
powers they cannot be regarded as
threatening the existence of the
Monroe doctrine as a political as a
political factor; if they be but ac
cideutly simultaneous they are
suggestive of future danger.
Whether accidental or premeditated
recent events demonstrate the ne
cessity of a renewed and extended
assertion of the great doctrines f
America for the Americans, and of
the construction and maintenance
of a navy adequate for the enforce
ment of the doctrine.
The conquest or forcible posses
sion by an' European . power of a
foot of soil upon any part of the
American continent or on any of its
islands that have au independent
and specially a republican form of
government, should be regarded as
an act of war upon the United
States. No efforts should be spared
to unite all the republics of North
ern. Central and Southern America
and of the contiguous islands, in an
offensive and defensive league for
the maintenance of Pan-Ame ican
independence. The wise policy of
Blaine and Harrison, of Washing
ton, Jefferson, Jackson and Monroe
should be revived.
At the present time the country
needs a Secretar' of State as bold
as Marcy and as diplomatic as
Seward. Sailors as bold as Duncan
Ingraham, of the St. Louis, or
Winslow, ot the Kearsarge, or as
Commodore "Wilkes this republic
ahva-s has had and always will
have. It is only when hampered
by the instructions of timid or
dilettante civilians that our naval
officers hesitate in vindication of
American honor. When Ingraham
took Costa from the Austrian
frigate he knew that Marcy was
Secretary of State, and when
Wilkes took Mason and Slidell
from the Trent he knew that Sew
ard was Secretary. What Walker
would have done in Hawaii had
Blaine been secretary may be
guessed at easily enough.
Just now there is need of revival
of Americanism. Great Britain
ought to be made to know that the
United States will not consent to
her obtaining freehold, leasehold,
or protectorate in Venezuela or
Nicaragua. Spain ought to be
made to apologize for her assault
upon a United States ship, and if
circumstances give gsod color of
justice to the act the Cuban pat
riots should be recognized as bel
ligerants. The sooner that all
America, insular and continental,
shall be governed by Americans the
better it will be for the peace and
prosperity of the world. Inter
Ocean.
Careful European estimates place
the beet sugar crop for this year at
4,910,000 tons, or an increase of 26
per cent over that of last year, and
an increase of 43 per cent over that
of two years ago. German alone
manufactures twice as much sugar
as Cuba, and theGerman govern
ment has increased the bounty to
sugar growers, while the demo
cratic congress has taken the
bounty from the sugar growers of
the United States.

Allianca Affair Will lie One of the
First Subjects Considered.
CHANGE IN FOREIGN POLICY.
Diplomatic Force Will Be Replaced by
Men In Accord With the New Regime.
Chans In Captain Generalship or
Caba Sum to Follow.
Washington, March 25. The organ
ization of the new Spanish ministry is
being watched with interest by officials
nnd diplomats here, owing to the direct
and speedy effect it will have oti affaire
between the United States and Spain.
Official advices received hero state that
every member of it is conservative.
This is directly contrary to cable reports
saying that five of tho new ministers
were Liberals. The effect of this will
be far more sweeping in the change of
officers, including foreign ministers nud
the adoption of a new policy on for
eign and domestic affairs.
Another change sure to follow will bo
in the captain generalship of Cuba. It
is expected here that the new captain
general will share the radical sentiment
of tho new ministry, which is said to bo
in favor of crushing the revolution in
short order. His presence in Caba is
likely to be accompanied by heavy rein
forcements of Spanish troops and ma
terial of war. This being tho first day
of the new ministry a reply to the Unit
ed States on the Allianca case is not ex
pected nor had it come up to a late hour.
It is thought, however, to bo one of the
first subjects which will engage tho
ministry.
FI ANN CD TO ATTACK THE PALACE.
Serious Uprising In Iluvana Averted by
Prompt Actlou of Authorities.
Key West. March 25. A passenger
from Havana, who has just arrived,
says that only by prompt action Captain
General Calloja narrowly averted a ser
ious uprising in Havana. Since the im
prisonment of Gomez, the negro leader,
his sympathizers have been very much
incensed and worked up a scheme to at
tack the palace. The time chosen for
this attack wa3 Friday night. The gov
ernment learned of tho impending
trouble, however, and the captain gen
eral instructed his officers to use every
possible precaution. Tho guards around
tho palace were quadrupled aud 100
soldiers wore stationed inside. The city
patrol was heavily increased. The neg
roes, hearing of these precautious, gave
up tho scheme. It is said that the plau
was for the solo purpose of releasing
Gomez.

Washington. March 25 The United
States supreme court today began tho
hearing of arguments in the case of Eu
gene V. Debs, president of the American
Railway union, and others who partici
pated with him in the Chicago strike of
th8 summer of 1S91. The fact that tho
casewa3 to come up did not attract such
a large audience of distinguished peoplo
as were present in tho courtroom when
the income tax cases were being pre
sented, but the attendance outside of
the bar was considerably in oxcess of
that on ordinary days aud was greater
than could bo accommodated with seats.
It was noticeable that those who wero
there gavo very careful attention to the
proceedings. The counsel numbered
three ou the sido of tiie defendants,
headed by Hon. Lyman Trumbull, aud
including Messrs. S S. Gregory aud C.
S. Darrow Attorney General Gluey,
Assistant General Whitney and Mr.
Edwin Walker, special United States
attorney, appeared for the government.
Tho early proceedings in the case today
developed that while tho argument
would be extended, the question at is
sue was not complex. Debs and his as
sociates ask for a writ of habeas corpus
relieving them from tho sentence of im
prisonment passed upon them by Judgo
Woods of-the United States circuit
court for tho northern district of Illi
nois in December hist on the charge of
contempt iu failing to obey tho injunc
tion of tho court requiring them to de
sist from interfering with tho iuterstato
transportation of the mails, passengers
or freight, and also from preventing
employes of the railroads concerned in
transacting their business. The fact
was also developed that the niaiu con
tention of the petitioners would bo that
tho original bill stated no caso cogniz
able in chancery, and that therefore tho
injuuetiou was void, and that the per
sons at whom it was aimed were not
bonnd to observe it.
PKOCTOll F.VVOUS KKCIPROC1TY.
Differ With His Col leas" hs to Annexa
tion of Cubit.
Washington, March 25. "I do not
agree," said S.-nator Proctor of Ver
mont, "with the views of my colleagues
in the senate who court trouble in Cuba
in the hope that it may have an oppor
tunity to annex the island. The char
acter of a part of the population of Cuba
is such that I should not consider it a
desirablo state of the union, as it would
necessarily become if it was annexed. I
consider Cuba of vast importance to this
country commercially, but prefer that
it should remain tis it is, or be an inde
pendent state, to its becoming a part of
tho United States. I am for the com
mercial annexation, but not for terri
torial annexation. We can accomplish
that-result without a war of couqnest
aud without purchasing the island, sim
ply by reviving the policy of reciproc
ity." or Interest to Kditors.
Washington, March 25. A caso
which has just been dockoted in tho
United States supreme court will prob
ably test the question of tho length to
which a newspaper can go iu the use of
objectionable language and still find ac
cess to tho mails. The caso is that of
the United States vs. Dan K.Swearingen,
and comes to tho supreme court ou alle
gations of error in the United States cir
cuit court of Kansas, which found
rfwearingen, who was the editor of
paper published at Burlington, Kan.,
gndty ot the improper nse of the mails.
The offend consisted in the publication
of an article abusing an employe of a
rival paper, in which language was used
which tho post:d authorities pronounced
obscene.
