That Flag Episode Again.
Perhaps more rot and nonsense has alreadj
been written about the "JlcCook rebel lku
episode" than the public can stomach with
out feeling of uneasiness in the gastric region
But an article appearing in the Omaha Her
aid of a few days since , and copied in a meas
ure from the JlcCook Democrat , deserves ;
passing notice , because of its villainous mis
representation of the facts in toto and of ifc
outrageous insults offered to the republican !
of this city. We append the contemptible
and malicious diatribe. Tjik Tribune i ;
not a champion of the "bloody shirt" idea
neither does it brook insult to the old soldiers
which the Herald pleases to style , " mercenary
spoilsmen , " ' 'sutlergang , " "partisans of free
whiskey , " "drunken bums , " "loafers , " etc ,
Here is the bilious prevarication :
The ready malice of republicans flndsan out
let daily in the invention of bloody shirt yarns
As usual , these villainous concoctions of mer
cenary spoilsmen travel a league while trutl
is pulling : on his boots. The story telegrapher
from McCook that Jake Steinmetz , receiver ol
the land olliee there , had hoisted a rebel Has
on the Fourth of July , turns out to be a malic
ious lie , manufactured by a partisian of free
whiBky. Jlr. Steinmetz was himself a unior
soldier and fought from purer patriotic mo
tives than the sutler gang who now work theii
jaws for pelf. Steinmetz was unable to obtain
a regulation Hag to decorate hisoilicc on the
natal day , and instead secured three strips ol
cloth , red , white , and blue , and suspondei
them across the street. A drunken bum gath
ered a number of companionable patriots ,
who could not distinguish between the union
and rebel emblems , and threatened to teai
down the streamers. To avoid the loafers Mr ,
Steinmetz took down the emblems of I03 alty
From this incident the free wnisky advocates
and practitioners manufactured afresh tunc
for the organs of gore and gush.
A Rousing Ratification.
A special train load of citizens of JlcCook ,
both ladies and gentlemen , went up to Tien
ton. Saturday evening , to participate in tin
grand republican ratification meeting thai
occuired in that burg on that date. Our del
egation , which numbered about 200 , was
headed by the two bands of the city , besides
were supplied and equipped with torches
transparencies , etc. Other delegations fron
Indiauola , Culbertson and Stratton swellec
the ranks of the multitude. Speeches wen
made by Judge Cochran of our city , State's
Attorney Snavely of Indianola and others
The procession was the most imposing evei
witnessed in Hitchcock county. JIusic , botl
instrumental and vocal , added its inspiratioi
to the overflowing enthusiasm of the partici
pants. It was a notable event in the politics
of that county and an eye-opener to the de
mocracy.
The Mill Meeting.
A meeting of the board of trade was held
Jlonday evening , in the secretary's office , as
announced. The attendance was small , bul
a number of letters received by the secretarj
relative to the mill project were perused and
it was decided to prepare a circular letter tc
send to writers of the communications , set
ting forth in full our proposition , the advan
tages of our city and country , etc. , and it is
expected that a definite reply will be received
from some of them at an early date , when
another meeting of the board will be called ,
and the matter settled.
That "Write Up" Of McCook.
Jlr. JIcTJmber is diligently gathering dats
for the "write up" of JlcCook which will ap
pear in a special edition of The Tribuxi-
at an early date. With others we have read
portions of the article ; and its thorough ex
cellence will cerlainly meet with universal
commendation. It is accurate and graphic ,
If the matter meets with the approbation of
our citizens , the special edition will appeal
in illustrated form. This , however , will de
pend upon the generosity of our people , whe
will be approached later in this connection ,
A number of thousand copies will be issued ,
Attempted Suicide.
Last Friday , a young daughter of Abrani
Hammond , who resides about 12 miles south
east of the city , took blue vitriol with suicidal
intent , but was deterred from thus foolishlj
shuffling off this mortal coil by the prompt
administration of an effective emetic. It ij
stated that the girl , whose age is about fif
teen years , has not been entirely herself since
having a had fever , some two years since. Slit
had received a scolding at the hands of hei
father , that morning before he departed foi
the city. No other cause for the strange act
is known.

The publisher of a newspaper has one thing
to sell and one thing to rent. He-has the
newspaper to sell and the space in the col
umns to rent. Can any one inform us why
lie should be expected to give away either
one or the other ? He can do so if he pleases ,
nnd he does , as a matter or practical fact ,
furnish a great deal of space for rent free ,
but it does not follow that he ought te > do it.
It ought to be recognized as a contribution
sxactiy as woultl the giving away of coffee 01

space and the sale of the papers as merchants
space and the sale of the papers as the mer
chant's success depends on selling his goods
instead of giving them away.
