Mr. J. W. Cutrigtit has just closed a

citv editor and he leaves for Oaiaha to-
mortow to iicc pt a place in joui nalUtic
work in that city. Mr. Cutright ha no
superior in the state as a newspaper man
as his splendid work upon the Cll the
past year bears testimony. Although
only a i oident of Lincoln a year, Mr.
Cutright has made a very large number
of friends, who have appreciated his
thorough, conscientious and always reli
able work, and tliey will witness h.s de
parture with sincere regrets. The Call
realizes the loss its staff sustains in the
departure of Mr. Cutright, but it has
the very b-st wishes for him in his new
work, which will always be successful
because he is a suecessful newspaper man
wht. can fill any portion in any field
with credit to himself a- d with every
satisfaction to the. paper that lists bun

A Slight Turn of the Wrist.
Nebraska City, Neb., March 25.
Sptciitl to World-Herald. 'The Hon.
cUiurch lluwe passed through this city
Saturday on bis way home from Omaha.
fbe Nemaha statesman, in an interview
published in last evening's News, said
lie was not at all surprised at the btaud
taken by ex-Senator Vn Wyck, and he
was glad to see it. Mr. Howe eaid he
was a farmer and Van Wyck was a great
man, an aid and friend to the farmer,
and was therefore helping him (Howe).
He thought Van Wyck would bo the
winning candidate for governor. Mr.
Howe said that while he was not a mem-
r of the farmer's alliance, he was with
them heart and soul. The cause of the
alliance was his, and a noble one. and
every move made by the organization
was aid to him as a farmer."
The foregoing is rich, racy and sug
gestive. It puts us in mind of a famous
saying of the late lamented SHas A
Strickland. U- S. District Attorney, dur
ing Andy Johnson's turbulent adminis
tration. On day a prominent politician
reminded "Strick,'' in a jocnlar manner.
that the sudden change of policy by
Johnson's administration, rendered his
'(StiickV)-term of rffice uncertain
Oh ."exclaimed "Snick." "if this
administration can make a shorter turn
than I can, let 'em try it." Church
Howe has a record as a granger, and
while he sterns to be able to do anything
in polities in Nemaha county, it is safe
to say that his acrobacy ends in Nemaha.
Fire at Wabash.
A second d-structive fire at Wabash
occurred yesterday morni-g, and con
sumed D. C Hayes' implement store, P.
J. Johnson's blacksmith shop, and the
building and outfit of the Weekly News.
Hayes' loss is $1,200, insured in the
Phoinix of Brooklyn for $750, Weekly
News' loss, $700. insured in the German
of Freeport, 111., for $500; Johnson held
no insurance. Tue origin of the fire is
unknown.
