THE Lariat , a bright little sheet that
has been issued at Brush , Colo. , for the
past year , has suspended operations.
THE Pranklin Echo comes to us in i
new dress and printed on a Cainpbel
press , this week. The Echo is one oi
the very few country papers in the state
that can afford a Campbell.
The'attention of the administration
is called to the factthatMcCookis suf
fering for the want of a postmaster and
several democrats in that vicinity are
suffering for want of a postoffice. Let
the conjunction be made as soon as pos
sible. Journal Topics.
A PENNSYLVANIA millionaire has
been sentenced to five years in the pen
itentiary. The influence of New Jer
sey seems to be spreading. It might
make a trip west to get acquainted with
the country and restore its health to
the vigor of forty years ago.
A CLERK in the auditor's office at
Richmond , Virginia , has been convicted
of stealing $24,000 while in office from
the state. He was sent up for two years
It was lucky for him that he stole noth
ing but public money. Had he taken a
$75 mule he would have been sure of
five years at least.
IT is now beginning to be well known
that Morrison and Logan have an un
derstanding about the Illinois Senator-
ship which will make the selection oi
one of them certain. Neither will with
draw and all outsiders will be kept out
side. This is the first time that the
ownership of Illinois has been firmly
asserted. Philadelphia Times.
RUSSIAN journals are discussing fa
vorably the old proposition to cede a
portion of Russian Poland to Germany.
It will include the ancient capital , War
saw. It would probably be a good thing
for the Poles and would have a tenden
cy t8 reconcile the chancellor to any
little accessions of territory Russia
might acquire were she measurably suc
cessful in the row with England.
LATER dispatches from the seat of
war in Winnepeg indicate that the
charge of General Middleton's forces
on the ten Indians in the ravine was not
entirely successful , as "the leaden
storm" was too much for them , but
they ran away as "coolly as thougli-
they had been on dress parade , " or
words to that effect , and are sure that
they killed one Indian. The next morn
ing , after sleeping on their arms a mile
from the battle field , the general found
that the Indians had left. He is now
waiting for reinforcements.
"FOR years the Pioneer Press , almost
alone among the daily newspapers of
this state , has been fighting prohibition.
To-day we sheath the sword. Henceforth
it will offer no opposition to a constitu
tional amendment prohibiting the man
ufacture and sale of intoxicating liquors
in the stale. Tens of thousands who
have agreed with the Pioneer Press in
preferring the more moderate policy will
accept prohibition as the only means of
emancipating this state from the inso
lent rule of this oligarchy of liquor
dealers. " St. Paul Pioneer Press.
THE Mexican government will not
give any concessions to the Mormons
who contemplate removing from the
jurisdiction of the United States to es
cape the laws against poligamy. It
says that the Mormons may come there
like other people and settle , but that
they will be subject to the laws of the
country , which forbid polygamy. The
doors of the civilized world are closed
to the saints. Africa is about their only
chance. They might find a place there
where they could defy the progress of
civilization for a hall century longer at
least.
IT is now rumored that Attorney
General Garland is in the same box with
General Lawton in the matter of po
litical disabilities , and that never hav
ing had them removed by a two-thirds
vote of congress he is not competent to
hold a federal office. But this can
hardly be true. As a judicial officer , at
the head of the department of justice ,
we would hardly have consented to give
a legal opinion to the President in a
matter that was so personal to himself.
lie has also almost continually held
office for the past ten years. Journal.
THE Grand Army of the Republic has
quietly and without ostentation exer
cised a care and charity for its members
and veteran soldiers that is highly com
mendable. Perhaps in the public opin
ion the purpose of this organization has
been to preserve the memories of the
late war. This is one of the social feat
ures , but the practical work has been
to care for the infirm , bury the dead and
provide for the widows and orphans , and
in this they have done and are now do
ing a commendable work. The posts in
New York City are now adding another
department which may be followed with
great benefit in other sections ef the
country. They have t recently organ
ized an employment b'ureau , through
which they obtain eniploym'ent for all
worthy veterans. Thus far they have
succeeded very well both in obtaining
employment and in giving satisfaction
to those who patronize them. Phila

The question of the Red Willow As
sociation having advertised their round
up to commence May 15th , was taken
up , and while all the members present
were disposed to concede them the date ,
if possible , it was deemed impossible to
do so , after thorough discussion , as many
members had already planned their work
so as to commence on the 20th , anc
could not change their arrangements seas
as to be able to attend a round-up on
the 15th. Also , that the date had been
so thoroughly advertised that all out
side parties could come and get their
strays out of this county , that it was
considered inexpedient to change the
date at this late day. The Secretary
was instructed to correspond with the
officers of the Red Willow Association ,
and , to urge them to wait until the 20th ,
so that but one round-up shall occur on
the Red Willow.
On motion of W. J. McGillin , the
date of the annual meeting was changec
to the second Monday of April of each
year , and that the place of meeting be
at McCook , instead of Benkleman , as
heretofore.
Motion was made and carried that il
any member of the Executive Commit
tee fail to serve , from any cause , the
President shall have power to appoinl
another to act in his place.
Motion was made and carried that
the matter of fire-guards be left entirely
in the hands of the Executive Commit
tee , and that thev meet at Culbertson
Neb. , on the 18th of May , 1885 , and
hear any suggestions that any member
has to make , and determine , how much
the association shall expend on the same
and make arrangements for plowing by
