West Front street, in front of
the Scharmann and Douglas prop
erties, is being filled in with dirt.
This point in the street has needed
filling up for several years. The
present city administration believes
in putting the streets in good con

good part of the tax levy to do it.

Judge
Hoagland
believes that McKinley will be
elected and by increasing his stock
hopes to be financially benefitted
by the general prosperity which is
sure to follow republican success
at the polls.
The republican club will hold
court house this
to speeches by
and others.
A male quartette will render a
couple of campaign songs. Dele
gates to the state convention of
republican league clubs at Lincoln
will also be selected at this meet
ing. That Bryan and Watson ban
ner strung across Spruce street is
causing mental disturbance. A
half dozen silver democrats who
stand before the pictures of Bryan
and Sewall three times a day and
pray for success, demand that
Sewell's name must be substituted
for Watson or else the banner must
come down. But the populists will
not listen to such a proposition; it
is their banner, and it will stay.
If the Bryan and Sewall fellows
want a banner, say the pops, they
are at liberty to fling one to the
breeze. In the language of Bob
Arundale, "the democrats have not
swallowed the pops by a jug full."
The democrats have made overtures
to the populists to join in the parade
to-morrow evening, but we under
stand the latter have not as yet
accepted the proposition. In case
they do, it will be a little interest
ing to know whether the Bryan
and Sewall people will head the
procession, or the Bryan and Wat
son fellows, but as the latter con
stitute virtually the tail of the
ticket it is supposed they will be
relegated to the rear where they
properly belong. It is also a source
of speculation as to whether the
yells and cheers will be for Bryan
and Sewall, Bryan and Watson, or
only tor Bryan. The Tribune
trusts, however, that peace, har
mony and good fellowship will pre
vail within the silver circles; from
now until November 3d is the period
for free silve rites to feel happy;
after that date they will wear crape.

The matter of having a system
of street lamps seems to have
dropped in a hole, at least up to
date the city has not "sent in an
order. The committee appointed
to acertain how many citizens
would erect lamps at their own ex
pense, are not meeting with any
great amount of success, and few
ights can be expected from that
source. As the 18 levy is about
exhausted, the city is not really in
position to purchase many lamps
unless the manufacturers agree to
give one year s time on the bill.
