In and visit uh in our euuiodlons room

Tim llloomirigton Advocate opened
Its editorial put'" .last wcel with the
suggestion that nil party news bo
eliminated until aftet the nomination
of the presldenlal candidate and then
filled a column of political observa
tions. It in no use to try to avoid the
subjoct Uro. Crane the nir is surcharg
ed with politics 'Die striking of n
little match will produce a big ex
plosion anywhere within the coufliH-s
of the United States.
Presidential jeur is haul on the pro
fessional base ball games. Instead of
oponllig tho daily piperto thesportlng
page the average man reads (list the
latest development of the political
fight. Tills is more interesting more
exciting. Tho politicians seems to be
master hands in the art of keeping the
public 'on tie tiptoes of expectancy
and anticipation. Issues and men, men
and Issues are mixed in one great
rough and tumble fight may the best
mau win
Not In years lias thore beou such a
profusion of sweet scented flowers
and blossoms in tills city The nlr is
filled all tho day long with fragrance
giving pleasure to all Nature semis
to bo relenting for the little dash of
extreme cold she 'itve us during tho
winter and now wishes to show us what
she can do wheu she is in a pleasure
mood. The gin in fields, the gardens
and the meadows are nil thriving as
only they can thrive when Nebraska
is at her best. Indications are that
there will be an abundance of all kinds
(t fruit and all signs point to a bounti
ful harvest this year.
Tlicic Is one thing which the Chief
does not like with inference to com
mencement exercises. Tlieie is an
omission ofull proiston for partici
pation by tho alumni of the school.
The alumni of the high school alteady
exceed in numbers the uudcrgi aduates,
aud tlie commencement season .should
be an occasion for them to assemble
and by their participation, unite the
past, the future and the present in
terests of the school together. Theie
are many names among tho nluinnl
which are gaining credit and distinct
ion abroad, aud our school system
would bo vitalized by the expectant
graduates.
Aud iu all seriousness should it not
bo looked upon as deplorable, that
two ini'n, high in olTice aud iu tho es
timation of their countrymen, should
be hulling uncomplimentary remarks
at each other which would oidluarily
be expected from a couple of quarrel
ing brrrcom loafeis. If the things
which acli of the moil hos said about
then her should be umdo to appear
true in even u general souse it would
not bo surprising if ihou and of soil
ous minded voters would yet decii'e
that neither man is needed iu the
white house at. Washington after

the duties of their otllco. The ofllce
involves a gieut deal of labor and sacri
fice, much more then is generally sup
posed, and the rewards are too ollen
nothing but adverse criticism and nu
Just censure; especially Is this the ease
when the community Is divided on a
matter of school policy. No matter
what our previous dllTerencPR have

ready tintv to accord the rctliing mem

true regard for tho bot intorestsol the
district. The incoming members will
have no dltllciiltles to encounter such

Everything betokens a harmonious
future.
The new mayor and council duly
iisiumcd their duties Tuesday night.
Tills administration commences its
woik with the unusual advantage of
enjoying tho respect mid confidence of
eacli oilier mid the rcspict and con
fidence of iho community. It w oil Id
seem almost Impossible for tho mayor
aud council to determine upon any
coiu.se of procedure which will not
have the general support of tlie public
in advance. Tliy me representative
business moii of tho city, giving of
their time anil energy to the city's
good ami enjoying iu an unusual de
gieo tlie confidence of ull tlie people.
They weic unanimously elected and
the Chief believes thst their coi duct
of municipal matters will be such that
futiite administrations will bo choice
in tho sumo rummer.
The. people of the Congregational
chinch hud u very enjoyable time last.
Tiiuitulsy evening, according to reports
brought to this otllce. The storm pre
vented many from attending, but those
who w ere present were very much pleas
ed with the cut ei tain niout provided
The liist pait of the evening was con
sumed in looking at the shadow pro
files of well known persons connected
with the chin ( h. There were twenty
five or thirty of these, and each specta
tor wus prov hied with pencil and paper
to write the nanus belonging to tlie
pictures us he guessed them This
proved, a pleasing occupation, and
gave ilso to much animated conver
sation. The people were then seated
and a musical contest followed.
Paper wus again provided, mid Mrs.
James Mitchell played a measure of
each of a number of familiar songs,
which wctc to bo instantly mimed
Hy far tho largest purl of tho ass nib
l.ige consisted of young people, who
were given ample opportunities for
pleasure. In tho judgment of the
Chief the church should furnish some
thing of this sort weekly. Much more
oTectlvc than thepinytr meetings for
t io oiii areuie meetings ror r lie young.
Tho laughter of childhood is more
sincere than tlie groaus of the saint,
and also more pious. When ministers
"it Id others roil'?." tbrU the tluo'oglcnl
dlsciisoiriiix which tickle the deacons
should give place to exercises that
at tract' the young, I ho church will get
upon flu right track to appeal to tho
coming generations.
A Word Of
Appreciation
The old council has passed into
history and a new a drninlstratlon has
resumed the inunngHiiiont of the city's
affairs. There Is one tiling for which
the out-going adminUI ration deserves
ciedlt. Tho sheets or tlie city liue
never been In such good coditlou a'
the beginning of the year us they aie
at prchcut. Notwithstanding the
abundant shown of the winter and the
amniiiitnf water from thosprltigthuws,
tlie grades of the streets have been
maintained and the middle of the
street has been high and dry. What
work was done on the streets last year
was well done There was not the
waste of labor and money that have so
often attended street grading iu the
past. Tho new administration will
find something to perserve mid enlarge,
not something washed away and to be
done over again.
Another thing to bs credited to the
out-going administration is the fact,
that, notwithstanding the necessity
of purchasing additional engines and
machinery, the debt of the city has
not been sonsibly increased. So far
as the financial affairs of the city go,
tlie'relirlng mayor and council have
deserved well of the pcoplo.
