WEEKLY TRIBUNE ,
F. M. & E. M. KIMMELL ,
EDITORS & . PUBLISHERS ,
' PRESIDENT ARTHUR at any rate is a
conspicuous social success , whatever
may be said of his administration , pro
or con.
' NUCKELLS county has an organization
composed of farmers who ship their
own stock. The organization meets at
Superior every Saturday afternoon , and
claims to be saving money.
THE property of Trinity church , New
York , is valued at $64,000,000 , and
comprises eight or nine acres in the
heart of the city , and several thousand
acres along the Hudson river.
JUDOE McCnAiiy resigns a $5,000
position on the bench for $35,000 a
year at the railroad bar. It was such
a tempting offer that even such a good
man as Geoige W. McCrary could not
decline.
THE first number of the Harlan Coun
ty Press , published at Orleans by T. J.
Cleaver , is on our table. The paper is
presented to its readers in good shape ,
but we fear the margins will be small ,
'unless the advertising patronage mater
ially increases.
JOHN A- LOGAN would probably car
ry more Republican dotes than any
other man in America , and Bob. Liu-
coin next. lied Cloud Chief.
It may not be clear just what the
Chief means , but we don't dote on John
A. not ver } ' much.
THE Crete Standard and the Union
have been consolidated , and will come
out under the name of the Crete Globe
M. B. C. True , is to have the oditoria
charge of the new paper. M. A. Dough
erty will be business manager and T ,
Cummings will have charge of the me
chanical department. And H.M. Well
of the Vidette is just more than Foss
Ing matters.
IT is now alleged that the late acci
dent to the Czar was almost anything
but an accident and that the runaway
was a mere incident to a desperate at
tempt to assassinate him after ho had
been duly tried by the Nihilists and
found guilty of fracturing all his fair
promises of reform. The story goes tha
he was not only injured by being thrown
from his conveyance but that he receiv
ed a bullet through his shoulder.
THE jury at Hillsboro , 111. , in the
case of the young men accused of the
Emma Bond outrage , after being out
a loug time returned a verdict of not
guilty , and the prisoners were discharg
ed. While the evidence of Miss Bond
from the nature ofthe case may have
not been sufficiently supported to re
move all doubts from the minds of a
jury , yet the public evidently feels that
they are really the guilty parties and
there may be a mob vengeance meted
out to them before the curtain drops
on the tragedy :
JAMES FREEMAN CLAKE speaking
of intemperance and its evil work , says
that the great and only real cure for in
temperance is the steady elevation of
the whole community. To keep men
from drinking you must give them some
thing else to do supply them with bet
ter amusements , with entertainments of
a higher order. You cannot expect
poor , hard working men to live without
amusement , llich people must have
their amusements , their theatres , their
balls , clubs , yachts. You cannot re
quire working people to do without
some sort of recreation. A total absti
nence lecture will not always attract
them , nor will a scientific lecture usu
ally be enough. Therefore we must
furnish them with every kind of inno
cent recreation possible public garden
and common and music and fire-works
in the summer , libraries and reading
rooms and as much more as can be ad
ded. I wish our theatres might have
good and entertaining plays acted , and
then be opened more freely to the poor ,
for I am satisfied that you can never
expel a low taste but by furnishing
something.a little higher.
BILL NYE RESIGNS.
The following is the only exact copj
of Bill Nye'd official letter in which he
resigned the postoffice at Laramie City ,
Wyoming.
POBTOFFICB DIVAN , LAUAMIE CITY ,
WTOMlNd , October 1,1883.
To the President of the United States :
Sir I beg leave at this time to offi
cially tender my resignation as post
master at this place and in due form to
deliver the great seal and the key of
the front door of the office. The safe
combination is set on the numbers 33 ,
GG , and 99 , though I do not remember
at this moment which comes first , or
how many times you revolve the knob ,
or which direction you should turn it
at first in order to make it operate.
There is some mining stock in my
private drawer in the safe , which I have
not yet removed. Tins stock you may
have if you desire it. It is a luxury ,
but you may have it. I have decided
to keep a horse instead of this mining
stock. The horse may not be so pretty ,
but it will cost less to keep him.
You will find the postal cards that
have not been used under the distrib
uting table , and the coal down in the
cellar. If the stove draws too hard
close the damper in the pipe and shut
the genpral delivery window.
Looking over my stormy and event
ful administration as postmaster here ,
I find abundant cause for thanksgiving.
At the time I entered upon the duties
of my office the department was notyct
on a paying basis. It was not even
self-sustaining. Since that time , with
the active co-operation of the chief
executive and the heads of departments ,
I have been able to make our postal
system a paying one , and on top of that
I am now able to reduce the tariff on
average-sized letters from three cents
to two cents. I might add that this is
rather too-too , but I will not say any
thing that might seem undignified in an
official resignation which is to become
a matter of history.
Through all the vicissitudes of a tem
pestuous term of office I have safely
passed. 1 am able to turn over the
office to-day in a highly improved con
dition , and to present a purified and
renovated institution to my successor.
Acting under the advioc of General
Hatton a year ago , I removed the feath
er bed with which my predecessor ,
Deacon Hayford , had bolstered up his
administration by stuffing the window ,
and substituted glass. Finding nothing
in the book of instructions to postmas
ters which made the feather bed a part
of my official duties , I filed it away in
in obscure place and burned it in effigy ,
xlso in the gloaming. This act madden
ed my predecessor to auch a degree that
he then and there became a candidate
For justice of the peace on a democratic
iioket. The democratic party was able ,
lowever , with what aid it secured from
; he republicans , to plow the old man
inder to a great degree.
It was not long after I had taken my
) fficial oath before an era of unexam
pled prosperity opened for the Ameri-
san people. The price of beef rose to
i remarkable altitude , and other vege-
ables commanded a good figure and
eady market. We then began to make
Active preparations for the introduction
if the strawberry roan two cent stamps
.nd black-and-tan postal note. One
eforin has crowded upon the heels of
nothcr until the country is to-day
ipon the foam crested wave of perma-
ent prosperity.
Mr. President , I cannot close this
3tter without thanking you and all the
eads of departments at Washington ,
or your active , cheery and prompt co-
peration in these matters. You can
o as you see fit , of course , about incor-
orating this idea into your Thanks-
iving proclamation , but rest assured
; would not be ill-timed or inopportune.
t is not alone a credit to myself. It
ijflects credit upon the administration
Iso.
Iso.I
I need not say that I herewith trans-
lit my resignation with great sorrow
ad regret. We have toiled on togeth-
r month after month , asking for no
jward except the innate consciousness
F rectitude and the salary was fixed by
, w. Now we are to separate. Here
the roads seem to fork , as it wore , am
you and I and the cabinet must leave
each other at this point.
You will find the key under the door
mat , and you had better turn the cat
out at night when you close the office
If she does not go readily you can make
it clear to her mind by throwing the
canceling stamp at her.
If Deacon Hayford docs not pay up
his box rent you may as well put his
mail in the general delivery , and when
Bob Head gets drunk , and insists on a
letter from one of his wives every day
in the week , you can salute him through
the box delivery with an old Queen
Anne tomahawk which you will find
near the Etruscan water pail. This
will not in any manner surprise either
of these parties.
Tears are unavailing. I once more
become a private citizen , clothed only
with the right to read such postal cards
as may be addressed to me personally ,
and to curse the' inefficiency of the
postoffice department. I may be in er
ror as to the attributes of the American
citizen , but I believe the above to be
the most prominent. I believe the voting
ing class to be divided into two parties ,
viz. , those are in the postal sen-ice and
thoss who arc mad because they cannot
receive a registered letter every fifteen
minutes of each day , including Sundny.
Mr. President , as an official of this
government I now retire. My term of
office would not expire until 1886. I
must therefore beg pardon for my ec
centricity in resigning. It will be best
perhaps to keep the heart-breaking
news from the ears of European powers
until the dangers of a financial panic
arc fully past. Then hurl it broadcast
with sickening thud.
Very respectfully yours ,
BILL NYE.
