The Plattsmouth Weekly Tribune will make its initial appearance next week. It will bo Independent in poli tics anil starts out with plenty of capi tal behind it to make it a stayer. The oflico is in one of the roar rooms of the Sherwood block, opposite the Hunk of Cass county. G. Fweu Williams was one of the Hitchcock brand of patriots who kept carefully to the rear and jelled for war, and then as soon as it is over he has nothing but scandalous criticisms for those who were loyal to the Hag and tried to uphold it. Such citizen, are worth nothing to the country, and their political opinions should be looked upon as trasu. Nevici: in the history of Cass county has a populist held a county oHice and as long as the- tie up with democra cy thoy can count on it that democracy will take the lion's share of tho spoils. Old democracy has played her cards well but tho game is becoming old and some of the more intelligent pops are opening their eyes and will refuse to be made cat's paws to rnke demo cratic chestnuts from the lite. Louis ville Courier. John Bull, seems to be getting his fighting clothes on. A recent order to begin no work on the ships of the reserve squadron that would detain them over lorty-eight hours, looks as though he wanted to run a big bluff on his French neighbor, or else he wanted to be ready to fight on short notice. The order is a porten tious one in any event, and will be read all over Europe today with un feigned interest. In those days of sudden friendship and ovcrbounding love for the old soldier it might be well for them to reflect that candidates on the repub lican ticket never havo to make spe cial personal professions of a "liberal pension policy." The traditions of the republican party make such un necessary. Ft-ienlines and liberality toward the men men who saved the UDion is instinct in a republican, oth ers of coure may acquire it, and some times do so, but it is e unusual and so unexpected that they have to speak about it, lest it be overlooke J. The speeches made by President McKinley at Omaha, St. Louis, Springfield, Chicago, aud intermedi ate points, are a new revelation of the greatness of this simple-minded, un pretentious, conscientious man who occupies the post of chief executive. In all that he has said there has been no bombast and no rant. He h is spokea plainly, feelingly and unreservedly of the problems that confront tho admin istration and the country. He has not glorified himself nor I'm republi can party. He ha pointed to certain results and indicated the line of poli cy that would be pursued in the fu ture. Kearney Hub. It may be said, in parenthesis, that we are now making in this country nearly all the tin plate we are using. In 1890, the year we put the justly celebrated McKinley law on the broks, we bought 31S,00) tons from Wales, whereas last year we bought 83,517 tons and the amount has bsoa growing rapidly and beautifully less every min ute since. And it will be remembered that Mr. Bryan and the rest stood up and everlastingly howled at the tax on tiD, just as he and the rest six years later howled at tho "iniquitous gold standard" and tin plate is cheaper now than then. Stand up for Ameri can tin and the gold standard. Ex. Hon. J. P. Dollivek: It rests with the American people now to say wdelher the business world is to be allowed to go on in security or whether we are to give a new commission to the defeated leaders of 1890 to organ ize anothor raid upon the credit and . uLvrity of tho community.

The fiople of tho First congress ional district of Nebraska cannot af ford to send to congress a man whose political associations will In any way hinder his best and heartiest support to Major McKinley in the closing up of the Spanish war. A free silver congress could not enact a free silver law, nor a free trade congress displace the Dingley law, for McKinley with his veto could defeat an3' such legisla tion, but either could, and undoubtedly would, absolutely defeat Mr. McKin ley 's plan9 for settling the Spanish oinbroglio by attaching to administra tion me;.t.urt:d free silver and free trade ride s. Tho next two years in congress will be taken up iu adjusting this war, and if tho people havo confi dence in McKinley's honesty and ability to conclude thete war matters as successfully as ho has prosecuted them, then they should surround him with men who at all time.-, and upon all occasions will be unembarrassed by political prejudices. Vote for E. J. Burkott and mi p port the administra tion. JL'Ic;h C KITES f Cnadron expresses himself on the fusion situation in the following terse letter which is worth perusal: "Affairs in the state, in the congressional districts, in the legisla tive districts and elsewhere, have been so conducted as to leave demo crats nothing worth striving for. In difference and apathy, not to say dis gust, prevails among them all over the state, and the best reasons exist therofor. The democratic party can not contin ue to bo a mere loiterer at the tables of the populist Dives, ac cepting crumbs and kicks with equal equanimity. I am not opposed to fusion, but lam opposed to absorption. Fairness and justice are quito as ap plicable to politics as well as to other affairs and had these principles pre vailed during the last four years' you would now behoid a much different sentiment among democrats all over the state. To quiet them and hold them in line, it is now said that all opposed to republicanism will, in an othor year, classify themselves and act as democrats, but such an expec tation seems to me to be as baseless as the rainbow." The withdrawal of Judge Crites from the race for county attorney insures the election of W. H. Fauning, the republican nominee, as it is believed that tho entire de mocratic support will be thrown to him. INFORMATION AND OPINION. Because Senator Thurston captured and controlled Senator Allen's vote in the senate on numerous occosions, it has been claimed that Thurston is now supporting Ailen for re-election, which is without the slightest founda tion in truth. Thurston's loyalty should not be questioned. E- J. Burkett, the republican nomi nee for congress in the First district, as a man whom every voter can take pride in supporting. He came to Lincoln a j'oung man without an ac quaintance. He devoted himself stud iously to the legal profession. He was an indefatigable worker and at tended to the business entrusted to him with such care and energy that he grew into a fine practice in a com paratively short time. He is a man of excellent character, and good judgment. He will support President McKinley in carrying out republican principles and a republican policy. State Journal. Oa tho suif .ee of things Franco may need a war to prc-serv.s the government by diverting attention from domes-tic scandals, and yet it is scarcely possible tht a test of strength witn England would do more for the government th in the Franco Prussian war did for the dynasty of Louis Napoleon. France needs, more than anything else, a big importation of Anglo-Saxon st-nse and pa'.ience. Until the pe ple learn to look upon public affairs more calmly and phil osophically the material welfare of the nation is bound to be seriously impaired by political discord, if not actual revolution. Ex. Tho Nebraska exponent of yellow journalism is uouing its be$t to divert attention from the state house ring by wildy beating the air in the direction of a modest scientific gentleman in Philadelphia. The ruse will not work. Nobody knows that the Philadelphian ever did anything wrong, but the whole state knows that the states house people have sent out false campaign material, have broken every pledge they made to get into office, and have involved nearly every state institution they control in scandal and misman agement. The republicans are per fectly willing to discuss state as well as QHlional itsues in this campaign. but they refuse to enter into a debate over Dr. H uidekoper just because the Wourld-IIerald can find nothing else that it dares to descuss.

Butler, of pack-train No. 3, writing from Santiago de Cuba, on July 23, says: "We all had diarrhoea in more less violent form, and when we landed wo had no time to see a doctor, for it was a case of rush and rush night and day to keep the troops supplied with amunition and rations, but thanks to Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy, wo were able to keep at work and keep our health; in fact, I sincerly believe that at one critical time this medicine was tbo indirect savior of our army, for if the packers had been unable to work there would have been no way of getting supplies to the front.
