The Tribune - F. M. & E. M. KIMMELL , Editors and Publishers. Official City and County Paper. JOHN A. LOGAN will continue to do business at the old stand for the next six years. THE freight pool recently entered in to at Chicago by the great railroad cor porations of the west is the most gigantic affair ever consummated. These con solidations of capital have a dangerous tendency. WHILE our more pretentious riictro- politan papers arc harping about the stolen editorials by the rural press , we of the meek and lowly rural roosters draw considerable consolation , however , by seeing our humble observations daily appearing in the m. p. in. p. , sans credit. THE TRIBUNK , in common , we pre sume , with the other papers of the state , has received a proposition from Fox of Police Gazette fame to exchange with his notorious sheet upon stated terms. Well , hardly Richard , we be lieve we are not ready to take stock in your sheet , being very well provided for in that direction already. THE Adams County Democrat takes great interest in McCook matters now adays , especially in those things apper taining to politics. Among the men high in the counsels of the nation , in democratic circles , who received partic ular personal attention at the Demo crat's hands we mention incidentally Mr. James Harris , who wants office muchly. Dick speaks very recommendatory of his democratic brother the doughty Jeems. Tis sweet , brethren , even dem ocratic brethren , to live together in harmony. THE Holdredge Republican hastens in the following language to correct the mis-statement concerning the amount of the saloon license in that burg that has been going the rounds of the press : THE Hastings Gazette-Journal hus been taken In by some rc-IIa-able cuss , who gulled it into the Delief that our city fathers bere , have , for the protection of their sons , raised the saloon license hero to J3.000 per annum. On the con trary , the fee was.reduccd to 5750 , which goes into the school fund , and the saloon men each present the city with S250 , which is to bo ap plied to side walks and other needed improve ments ; so that virtually tlio saloon men are no better or worse off than they were before the ordinance was passed. THE Illinois muddle is at an end. Contrary to the expectations of the newsgatlierers of Monday , the republi cans of the legislature were all on hand at'the joint convention at Springfield on Tuesday noon , and on the second ballot John A. Logan received the vote of a majority of the whole number of members elect , being a quorum , and the dead-lock that has lasted for nearly five months is ended and the republicans have triumphed. It has been a memorable contest , second end only to that in New York in the summer of ' 81 , and the outcome will close up the breach in the party in Illi nois instead of serving as an entering wedge for future humiliation and dis grace. The republicans of Nebraska send their congratulations to their breth ren in Illinois , and to the veteran sol dier and statesman whose services are secured for another term in the national senate by the steadfastness of his friends and the blunders of his opponeuts.- State Journal.
