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

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.
