The Tribune F. M. & E. M. KIMMELL , Editors and Publishers. SUBSCRIPTION : $2 PER YEAR INVARIABLY IN ADVANCE. OUR BIRTHDAY. WITH this issue THE TRIBUNE enters upon the third year of its journalist } existence. "When the present manage ment took the helm , last fall , little o no rhetoric was wasted in making prom ises , but they went to work with th secret determination to make THE TRIBUNE a journal in which its readers as well as its editors might take prid a paper in harmonious keeping witl the importance of the town and county , By reason of the patronage given us we have been enabled to enlarge the paper and to make a number of needed im provements , among which we tak pleasure in mentioning the Irnprovcc Prouty Cylinder Press with which this office has recently been equiped. In addition , the Job Department has been considerably enlarged to accommodate the demands in that direction. Th same rule and spirit will govern THE TRIBUNE as heretofore. Hoping th coming year may be a prosperous one to our patrons as well as ourselves we remain , THE TRIBUNE. WE had hoped to be able to give the name of the Republican nominee for President. But as the Convention has adjourned until 7 o'clock this evening , and no permanent organization as ye been made , we gd to press. Log-rolling may continue indefinitely. THE B. & M. railroad extension to Grand Island has been completed. This gives Grand Island a new connection with Omaha , via Lincoln. The city o : Grand Island is certainly to be congrat ulated upon her prosperity. She is now quite an important railroad center , am is growing very rapidly. TEXAS cattle men howled aloud thafc they couldn't pay eight cents an acre for the use of grass on state land , but the other day twelve of them got on a jury and rendered a verdict that grass burned by'an escaping locomotive spark was worth sixty cents per acre. The fitness of things doesn't always occur to the inexperienced mind. IT is probable that the commercial advantages to be derived by the United States from the opening up of Mexico have been overrated. The country has a sparse and poor population , and the small quantities of goods they are likely to buy must .undergo long and costly transportation. The development of the resources of Mexico will be the work of immigrants , who are entering slowly upon the task. NEBRASKA is young in years , but not in progress and prosperity in every line of work. One of the brightest pros pects before the state lies in the educa tional prospects and facilities this state enjoys , and aside from public schools and state education , the young and growing colleges for higher education are most noteworthy. Doane College at Crete , the Hastings College , the Baptist Seminary at Gibbon , York Col lege , Bellevue College , and numbers of others , comprise denominational schools in the state that are yearly growing in strength , numbers and influence , and are , as they ought to be , a source of pride to all. THE State Republican Central Com mittee met last Wednesday evening at the Millard hotel in Omaha , for the pur pose of selecting the time and place for holding thp State Convention for the nomination of State Officers and Presi dential Electors. The committee was well attended and general good feeling ; prevailed. The convention was called i for August 27th , at 10 o'clock A. M. The prevailing opinion being that the delegates could reach that city by morn ) ing trains from different points in the state and have ample opportunity to transact the business of the convention in time to depart for their homes upon ; the following morning. The basis of representation remains the same as that fixed for the Jate convention , which named the national delegates to Chica ' go. JiJarly nominations with an aggres sive campaign was determined upon. c Plattsmouth Herald. - - r : THE CONVENTION. Through courtesy of Chief Dispatch er , T.

Times says belief stronger than ever that neither Blainc nor Arthur can be nominated. Says Blainc men offered Logan Vice Presidency to combine forces. Offer was refused. Further says , Arthur practically out ot the race unless failure of independent movement brings Edmunds and Hawley vote to him. Logan men claim Arthur's south ern vote , after first ballot , while Ed munds men expect his vote in full if transferred. Sherman men also claim strong help from Arthur's forces. 9:51 : A. M.

Tribune says that seven of Mahone Virginia delegation , which Committee on Creden rials has decided to admit to Convention will vote for Blaine.

LYNCH , a colored Mississippian - pian , received the temporary Chairman ship , defeating Powell Clayton of Ar- cansas , who was ehosen for that posi- ) ion by the National Committee , not very conventional act. A SURPLUS of $155,000,000 was re- orted from the Treasury a few days igo. The emotion of Mr. Morrison and he friends of a horizontal revenue ro- brrn upon reading the announcement an be better imagined than described. "LUCKY" BALDWIN , of San Francis- O ; is a four-time winner. He has just fen his fourth wife , who is twenty 'cars old. As he is sixty years old , nd worth $10,000,000 , she may be W ailed one of the most successsul hi h < hiei 'bread-winners" of the day. ei T ? . M. HOLLAND , in the Index , gives utterance once more to the plaintive Avail that manhood is running down a the heel. He says farmers are not a good-farmers as they were , mechanics are losing their ingenuity , and so on through the list. Is it true ? Were the mechanics of a generation ago su perior to Edison ? Were the lawyers better than Evarts and O'Connor \ Were the preachers abler than Talmage Beecher and Swing ? "Were the news papers better conducted , the railroad more carefully managed , the telegraph more speedy , than now ? Were the crops equal in quantity and quality to those produced in these later degener ate years ? How do the horses , cattle , sheep and hogs of forty years ago com pare with the domestic animals of to day ? Was the thought of a generation gone bolder and broader and more vig orous than that of the present hour ? Were kindness , charity and truth more the rule of human conduct then than now ? Did peace then so widely bless mankind ? These questions answer themselves and silence the carper who declares the world is growing weaker or worse. It is growing stronger and better , and that growth will continue. No one need be uneasy about the fu ture. He may not be here , and if he is he will see the earth taking care of itself in the highest style of the art. Journal. THE opening of the Sioux reservation is likely to hang fire for some time. The.members of the Sioux commission have returned from their official trip to the Sisseton reservation , whether they went to arrange with the Sisseton Indians for a sale of a portion of their lands. The commission told the Indians briefly what they were instructed to do , namely , to arrange with them a plan by which the Indians could sell the greater part of the million acres owned by them at not less than $2.50 per acre. It is estimated that the lands would bring at least $2,000,000 which at five percent would yield $100,000 per year , thereby making a cash annuity of nearly $5000 for each family of six persons. In reply to the commission the Indians said they had fully considered the proposition and they did not at this time care to sell the lands. The Indians expected a parley and were doubtless surprised when the commissioners left them with the remark that when they got ready to sell they would come back and talk with them. While this is discouraging news to those who would like to buy these valuable lands , the Indians will probably communicate with the commissioners before long. On , by the way , Jim Keene we call him Jim because we know him so well was cleaned out in New York the other day amid the general joy of the street. Jim .took it pretty hard , and fussed round a good deal , while the boys laughed loud and long. But when they came to settle up Saturday night Jim was a million and a half ahead of the game. They have concluded to defer shipping him home in a freight car till some other Saturday night. LIKE the lamented Lord Byron , so did one Becky Jones wake up one morning to find herself famous.
