Tlintnsnn fiilltr rn1irc holds Office throucrh the personal effort of Harvey, The Terrible, and not through the votes cast for him by republicans and others. Mr. Thomson should admit this every time he meets Colonel Hill. ColoneI E lung ham has been mentioned as a possible candidate for county clerk on the pop ticket, and one country republican has suggested Colonel Hill as a repub lican candidate for treasurer. Both are likely to liave honors thrust upon them, much to their dislike. Ip The Tribune rehashed any of the Telegraph's charges in the campaign of two years ago, it was only to venfv that they were not overdrawn. It is sometimes neces sary for some one to approve the Telegraph's heavy editorials before the general public accepts them as not exaggerated. -. The remnant of a once great party in Lincoln county the dem ocrats threaten to jiominate a full county ticket this fall. The only trouble apparent to such action is the fact that the party is about evenly divided on the money ques tion, but it is claimed these two elements can be unified. Up to the hour of going to press not one of the 800 republican sub- senbers to The Tribune had pre- sented a protest against thedissen- sions (?) which this journal was making in the republican ranks, Colonel Hill is not greater than the rpnnhlirnn nartv nf t ?ir. f.r republican party of Lincoln county, even though he is harboring such a thought. a novel system ot western crop A t e- m raising has just come to hand. A Mr. Weaver, in 1894, planted a field near Quick to potatoes. The dry season of 1894- failed to start the tubers into active life and now the lapse of a year is being reme died and a splendid stand of pota toes has appeared on the ground from the '94 planting. The Tribune is metropolitan in its oolicv as to occasionally accept and publish correspondence which may advance views directly opposite to those held by its editor. This course is pursued by all newspapers which. are not narrow-minded and selfish. The writer who signs bis name to an article is held as the responsi ble party, and not the editor. IT is said, that "jealousy is the apprehension of superiority," and wiien the lacks and spleen of Har- vey, The Terrible, are simmered down, the dregs are found to con- sist ot a nature described in the quotation. The Tribune i& a thorn in Harvev's side in numhpr1fM? ways, and if, it would suspend he woum oe very nappy. But The Tribune positively refuses to make Harvey happy. Had Mr. Cleveland tried he could hardly have selected a Secretary of state who would have been more displeasing to the democratic lead- ers in congress than Attorney Gen- eralOlney.

As that precinct is Mr. Bu- cuanan s old nome, it would seem as tnougn tnere migut- oe some truth attached to the report, but The Tribune can scarcely believe it. Office seeking- with Mr. Bu chanan has become incurably chronic, and it will only be when his party turns him down that he will cease his efforts to capture an office. Mr. Buchanan may be re nominated, out he will not be re elected. Here is the difference between the Harrison and Cleveland ad ministrations in a nutshell. Har- j nson paid ott iwy&,uuu,uuu ot the; national debt and'left a surplus of j $124,000,000 in the treasury. The expenses ot tne crovernment were not higher than the. revenues for a single day during the whole period The Cleveland administration 'has given us an addition of 5163,000,000 to our debt. The government has fallen behind to the amount ot $225,- 000 for every day since Cleveland l i ec Cnn was inaugurated. This is $6,500,- 000 for every month and $81,000,000 ! for every year since the "change" ordered by the people in the fall of 1892 was put into effect.- Those who talk of the good old mes being the best are not well up in history. Between January 1, littU, and April 1, la, ,4V4 per sons were imprisoned for debt in Boston, 2,000 of them owing less than $20 and 430 of them being women. One brute had a woman l liif' Mu aas tue miant oecame insane and was taken away to die, the mother still being incarcerated. Another creditor imprisoned a . . -m woman for ,a debt ot $360 and forced her to leave two children under two years of a&e at home A debtor in the Cambridge jail froze to death, while another was imprisoned for thirty years. LET the intention of the ware- house law of tlusf state be carried put and the grains raised on JSe- braska farms need not be crowded onto an overdone market. It is sure to be the case that farmers feel the necessitv the oresent son more than ever of realizing cash irom tneir crops, as soon as raised. crops should not be sold at a I sacrifice. The-drift of trade, one year with another, shows .-a. very marked strenrrthenintr of m-ice at about this time of vear when there is always more or less uncertainty as to the outcome with crops.

Fremont Tribune. The balance of trade against the United States foots up eighty-four million dollars during the past year as a,brief experiment with the Wil- son tariff reform law. This being falien through, it is not imorobable that the p-overnment will have to call on the.ets ot the administra tion in London to take care of an other bond issue. The crovernment still has good credit, and while that lasts there is mo reason why the Cleveland administration should borrow any trouble about the de ficit. . Congressman Sibley of Penn sylvania is making a, strong bid for the people who want silver at 16 to 1, regardless of consequences. He said on his return from his south ern excursion: "The south is lor free silver and no power on earth can make those patriotic people down there shut their mouths about the scoundrels of Wall street. Not even tirover Cleveland and that second God, John G. Carlisle. I look for a split in the national con vention next year. Would I be a candidate for the presidency in the event that the silver wing should bolt the convention? Well I don't know about that. Maybe I would and maybe I wouldn't. I say this, however, I am against the monometallists of the east as strongly as I am against the devil himself," Dun's Weekly Review of Trade last Saturday said: It is no longer a question whether business im proves. JNot tor a long time nve our reports from all parts of the country been so uniformly favora ble. The daily average of bank clearings in June is 24.8 per cent larger than last year, though 11.4 per cent less than ia 1892. The most ?otent influence has been the receipt of more favorable advices . - .. regarding growing crops. hiren official statements helped because altogether less gloomy than pre vious rumors, laoor troubles are getting out of the way, wages in many establishments are rising, and with the iron industry just now leading, tiiere is general improve ment in manufactures. Monetary conditions also help. The time draws near when, with good crops, exports will bring gold hither, and though foreign operations in stocks this week, the effect of previous transactions nas not oeen exnaust ed. Much diminished receipts of money irom the latenor indicate better employment in business, es pecially at the west, -and the volume of commercial loans steadily rises, and is now fair for this season, even in a good year. The government crop reports were so much more dis mal thaa expected, that they really extinguished for a time a host of calumnious rumors. There are evidences all along the iine Gf better times. The tariff tinkers have been sent to the rear, and while there is little hope of un- doing the mischief done for two assured that work of "tariff reform" is effectually stopped. It is not unsound money that has brought 6J distress to the country; it is not platform of silver that has depleted and impoverished the United States tcr. mac f-,f: L,i c iaw.rc u. t, mischievous tariff tinkering of ex- perimenters.

As far as the repub lican party is concerned, it has only to stand up for the policy and prin ciples of all the j'ears of the past. Its great and leading principle is protection to American industry, and with that a firm demand for gold and silver and" paper dollar as good as that of either metal. Inter tfefean.

I Original Owners of One of the Wliljkj Trust's Xeaaed Distilleries Make aa Unsnccessfnl Midnight Attempt to Recover Their Property. Chicago, June 17. The anticipated attack on the Shufeldt distillery, one oi the plants of the whisky trust, occurred at 1 o'clock a. m., when an armed party of a dozen men attempted to take possession of the distillery. The attack ing party was met by the deputy mar shals who had been placed on guard by Receiver McNulta of the trust, and after a harmless exchange of 25 or bC shots the men were arrested. Trouble has been expected at the trust's distilleries since the recent de cision of the Illinois supreme court de claring the whisky trust illegal. Sev eral of the former owners of the various destilleries declared that under the de cision the plants reverted to those from whom the purchases were made. Re ceiver McNulta promptly applied to the United States marshal for assistance, and for several days each of the dis tilleries has been closely guarded by armed deputy United States marshals. The Shufeldt plant, whore last night's trouble occurred, is located at Chicago avenue and the river. The attacking party secured a large scow, and when first seen by the guards was gliding silently down the river. The deputy marshals quietly bunched at the land ing, and when the scow neared shore the men aboard were commanded to surrender. They replied with a volley of revolver shots and the deputies promptly opened fire. Under the hot volley the men quickly dropped down the river and, reaching a landing, dis appeared. The force of deputies at the plant were doubled in anticipation of further trouble. Who is responsible for the at tack the authorities refuse to say. The Shufeldt distillery was sold to the whisky trust by the millionaire Lynch family. One of the Lynches, Thomas Lynch, jr., had been reported to have declared his intention of regaining possession of the distillery, and his name was frequently mentioned today in con nection with last night's raid. The officials of the trust and the government Authorities, however, refused to discuss thepos-rla connection of Mr. Lynch with the affair. Serious Trouble Was Feared. That serious trouble at the Shufeldt r Calumet distilleries was feared by the oncnoriGies was enaenc irom tne war yke preparations made during the day. Receiver MaNulta had arranged, it was M fftr iTmT,Bli?!lte f , tt said, for immediate help from the Unit ed States troops at Port Sheridan in case cf need, and a large force of deputies js placed on guard. It was stated at e receiver's office that the troops at" art Sheridan were practically under orders to move at any time, but this in formation could not be confirmed at army headquarters. The fear expressed by the authorities was that in tho event of a determined attack on either of the distilleries seri ous trouble would be caused by the spec tators, many of whom were likely to join in the attack. The possibility a mob turned loose on a wen stocKea aistuiery was not a pleasant one to the authorities, and the police ? well as the government officers were uu the alert all day. Trying to Burn an Ohio Tmrn. Greenville, O., June 17. Fire broke out last night in a stable in the rear of the Winter block, surrounded by busi ness houses, and burning up Mozart's Store, Westfield's wholesale house, three printing offices, the Methodist Episco pal church, five dwellings, a large livery stable and damaging several other dwellings and business houses, making a loss of $150,000, with the fire still in progress.

Attorneys For the Befense Make a Final Effort to "Secure Blscharge. Butte, Neb., June 17. The work of securing a jury in the trial of the men accused of the murder of Barrett Scott was finally completed this forenoon. After the jury had been sworn Attorney Harrington for the defense gave notice to the court that he would file a motion that he hoped would dispose of the Bar rett Scott case as far as Boyd county was concerned. The motion, he said, would be in effect that tho state should be required to make a showing in regard to the allegations in the information which eharges that the conspiracy to murder Barrett Scott was laid in Boyd county. In the event that the court sustains the motion then the defense will move to dismiss the prison ers at the bar on the ground that as they have already been placed in jeop ardy no further action can be taken against them on the charge of murder.
