SUBSCRIPTION : $2 PER YEAR INVARIABuY IN ADVANCE. > ' 4" * > THE Emperor William has accepted tbe resignation of Bismarck from the presidency. , of the cabinet , and ap pointed a successor , Bcetticher , the Prussian minister of state. THE metropolitan press is expressing sonic doubt of the propriety of the ac tion of the assistant postmaster general , 'Frank Hatton , in changing the name of a Tennessee postoffice from "Dam- phool" to "Blizzard. " Probably each editor that'kicks ' thinks it is a personal affront to himself. We all have our weaknesses/and the weakness most com mon is the .yearning to have your name prepctuated in a postoffice directory. THE national anti-monopoly conven tion , which assembled in Chicago , last Thursday , nominated B. F. Butler of Massachusetts , for president. They al so got up a platform of platitudes. It is ridiculous that a body of men like this should allow themselves to be duped by such a politician as Ben. We cannot aocount for it only on the theory that this is a phenomenal year in politics as well as 'weather and finances. There must be something in the atmosphere which gets away with men's judgments. -leaving our shores at San Fran- 'cisco the queen of Tahiti unburdened toefmind to a reporter of a paper there. She has been very well pleased with her trip , but acknowledges that she delayed landing , at 'New York , and stood off shore in the steamer till the last moment to escape the pestiferous swarm of New YorkMnterviewers who worried the life out of-her on her first passage through the city. The queen was ravished with the beauties of Chicago and the singing of Patti but Paris was her paradise. A COLORADO man stole a pair of socks the-other day and was waited upon by a committee of miners , who gave him a whipping at a telegraph pole with an hour's notice to leave the country. The leader of the vigilantes explained in a card to the local press that they did not care anything for the financial value of the hosiery , and but little about the sur reptitious manner in which the offender obtained possession of them. But it was hot * iron to their souls to see him bring reproach upon the hardy manhood of the tlf state by his effeminacy. > f 1 THE Eepublican Valley Editorial asso tltl ciation will hold its first annual meeting tlsi at Alma , on the 23dinst. " An interesting sia programme has been prepared , on which a appears the names of such veterans as ei eiai Pickctt , Hiatt , Hill and others not so ai | j well but equally favorably known. P1al aiP1 Among other things to be considered is al the propriety and practicability of an excursion to the mountains this summer. We hope the gentlemen will every one B of them by all means excurt. If the JB. Si & M. and D. & , IL G. railroads do not in provide our friends with all the facilities tr for a good time and a long-time , these of Topics shall perform ofI some antimonopoly - ° . ely exploits compared with which the 01 crimson career of the JBee shall appear It [ as a maiden's ink hair ribbon beside the th : blazoned robes of a cardinal. Topics. in an AN Omaha policeman , who is describ et ; ed as a very vigilant and efficient officer , th , saw a man standing on the corner the th other day. The man's appearance was an that of poverty , and the cop concluded se to take him in. The man ran away and th . the vigilant , etc. , chased him vigor Biwi ously. Another vigilant and efficient wi citizen saw the race and headed off the at fugitive , cracking him over the head at with his billy. The victim fell , and waspounced upon by the valiant peelers. He fought wildly , but was finally taken he to the cooler a mass of bruises and f rags. Then the discovery was made that he was a harmless , * half-witted U fellow , who had worked in the same hotel for seven years. He was of course in til * turned .loose , and "the circumstance is reported in the J3ee as a good joke on e < the policeman.

The indications are , also , that in that laud able aspiration they have been entirely successful. The debts of the firm , at first reported to be in the vicinity of ten millions , appear upon examination to largely consist in fictitious claims of "profits" that had no existence except on doctored books kept by Ward , and it is now said" that the actual indebted ness will not exceed three millions. The way Grant was swindled , when the managing members knew that the bu'w- ble was about to collapse , is one of the most disgraceful features of the affair. On the representations of Ward and Fish , Grant was induced to go to Vanderbilt and borrow $150,000 on his own paper and turn it over to the conspirators. It is to pay thatindeptedness that Grant has turned over his residence , his- two houses in Washington and his St. Louis farm , and further pledged himself that Vanderbilt shall not lose a dollar through him. THE stock jobbing and gambling in New York have culminated in the down fall of some of the .banks there that have been engaged in it , and there is , of course , a flurry on Wall street. But the time has gone by when these flurries can effect the general business of the country. With a solid coin basis , and no wild cat currency in circulation , the values of actual property are not affected by the bulls and bears to any appreciable extent , and no general trouble naed be anticipated. Prices are already down to bed rock , and the shrinkages are all in the values of speculative shares and stocks. No matter how many specula tors go to the wall as the result of the cessation , of the supplies from the"lambs from the country"that used a few years ago to contribute to the wealth of the New York.brokers , the real wealth of the nation is not affected , and legitimate , business will not be interfered with. , Journal. TltE Muhdi is an economic general and pays his army at the rate of forty cents a month per head , and it is able to subsist-on that , finding itself. This makes his 40,000 men cost him about $16,000 a mouth. As he fell heir to $2,000,000 when he captured Obeid and Burra , he has funds on hand now for a ten years campaign. Europe could profit more by making him professor of military economy at a large salary than in trying to use him up in Soudan. When he commenced to fight , the false ; prophet had no arms for his fol lowers ( but the spears and shields of the country. But he has captured from the Egyptians 40,000 Remington rifles , sixty cannon and 2,500,000 pounds of ammunition , besides other arms not enumerated , and.is . well fixed from the arsenals of his enemies. As a self-sup porting warrior he beats the record of all the generations. IT is confidently asserted that the British government is negotiating with Stanley Africanus , with a view of Inducing him to accept the mission to treat with El Mahdi and take the place General Gordon , who has , in the opinion I of the cabinet , failed to carry jut the programme entrusted to him. n is said that when itjs safe to 'make Nfc he avowal it will be found that Gordon's fcg nstructions were to avoid hostilities ai ind come to terms with the -false propli- scbi t. It is believed that he lias "muffed 0 he whole business , " 'as a member of al .he government tersely expressed it , tcbi tc tnd complicated matters instead of icttling them. If Stanley can procure .he necessary leave of absence from his Belgian employers he might go in and vin where Gordon failed. He would elbe be least make a very original attempt tedi diplomacy. - rim diri Hi Hiw THE Ord , Valley county , Quiz , asks M w ' question , ; * where in thunder is Mc- Jook anyway ? * ' And the "rural' ' editor THE TBIBUNE will enlighten the of uizical quillite of Ord that McCook nc ofm lay be fonnd without much difficulty ] Red Willow county , Nebraska , and ] liat no town in this great Common- realth of Nebraska , of her age , can pproach her in the matter of growth , rosperity present and future possibili- " ' A "P es.

The new pension bill , which will be favorably reported from the committee , is of great interest to the many suffer ers by the war , and we trust iu will pasi and become a law.

Titus , " inquired Sulpicius Verro of his friends Titus Trombonius , one morning , as the two sauntered through the forum , "how happens it that the people , casting about for a consul , pay no heed to the com manding virtues ofjCato , but regard with a friendly eye that obscure and unworthy man , Cneius Septilius ? " "Because , " quoth Titus Trombonius "Cato , being on honorable , and austere man , cannot carry the state of New York. " Eugene Field. THE manager of our opera house , Mr. W. H. McCartney , is not to be trifled with by small theatrical combinations. "If companies deserving of patronage ! want to show in our town , " said he the other day , ' 'they will always find a full house to welcome them , and no place west of Hastings to' Denver can insure as large receipts , and I want no troupes second-handed. " Courier. Oh ! As USUAL after a great financial crash there comes a number of suicides , The returns are now coming in. George B. Williams , stenographer in the Mexican' Central railway office in. Bos ton , and formerly a newspaper reporter , committed suicide the other day , owing to losses in Wall street , and he was at by followed by Alexander White , of Grand at Eapids , Michigan , who lost $125,000 wi % in stock speculations. to : allan f NOTICE TO CONTRACTORS. nu an Bids will be received by the Building Com qu mittee : and the School Board of School District to No. 17 , McCook , Red Willow county , Nebraska , pami for furnishing all material and labor to com mi plete u School House for such district , except of sai foundation ; also , separate bids for material and labor for wood work and plastering ; also , at separate bids for painting ana graining ; also , 10me bids for furnishing stone from best Cambridge me quarry , and laying foundation.
