Did the Omaha Bee tell the truth
two years ago when , in a spasm of dis
interested virtuousness , it declared that
the license system as it exists in Omaha
under the Slocumb law , "has been a ,

"has exacted political support from the
low dives and bummers , " and "has used
the liquor men to do the dirty work at

it tell the truth now , when it denies that
state of affairs and sounds the * praises
of the High License law at $2.10 an

The farmers will rally to the support
of Samuel Ellis , election day , in a way
that will guarantee his election. It is
quite natural that the farmers should
vote for a "tiller of the soil , " too.
The Beaver friends are supporting
their popular son W. T. Henton with a
firmness and warmth that means suc

best of it is that Henton deserves it , too.
An opportunity is presented the fann

lie should receive a hearty support
from the horny-handed sons of toil.

For the office of county attorney J.
Byron Jennings is eminently qualified.
Voters having economy in mind , and
desiring the important duties of that
office to be efficiently discharged to best
interests of the people , should see to it
that he is elected.
Editor Carpenter , of the Bartley
Enterprise , who is a gentleman of ex
cellent discernment and who is perpet
ually mashed on consistency , makes
this truthful remark , which is wholly
devoid of flies : "The McCooicTRIBUNE
is doing a noble work tor the prohibi
tory amendment. "
All of the proposed amendments to
the constitution of the state may be
read in THE TRIBUNE from day to day.
They are official and may be relied on.
If you are in doubt about what the
amendment-will or will not do take a
copy of THE TRIBUNE and half a day
off and study up.
There is a rumor abroad in the city
that one of the McCook papers receiv
ed two hundred dollars for its efforts
against the prohibition amendment. Of
course the idea is preposterous. Yet
there are those who claim positive
proof. This seems to be an off year
for McCook Journalists the capital J
is intentional.
If you are of the opinion that the
county commissioners are the servants
of the people and should promptly com
ply with their requests , vote for Rich
ard Johnston and C. W. Hodgkin for
county commissioners. They are fair-
minded men and will deal justly and
without unnecessary expense with the
Deoole whom thev serve.
It is of prime importance to the tax
payer that the office of county treasur
er be conducted by an efficient man and
that the county funds are placed in
safe hands. W. T. Henton , nominee
of the Republican party , fills all the re
quirements. He is competent , trust
worthy and can give as good a bond a $
any man in the county. Work for him.
Vote for him. He deserves it.
The voters of Ked Willow county
have a duty to perform , this fall. They
.must establish that they are the people ,
and that the county commissioners are
but their servants at so much a day ,
subject to the expressed will of the pee
ple. The experience of this summer
teaches that the people must maintain
their rights , and must relegate to pri
vate life the man who dared to deny
their petition , and presumed to add in
sult to injury. Vote for Johnston and
Hodgkin and be served fairly and eco
nomically.
The independent rally at this place ,
Saturday , was quite a success so far as
attendance and demonstration are con
cerned , although the public were led
to expect something more vociferous by
the prospectuses issued by our misguid
ed friends. The parade was all that
could be expected under the circum
stances. MaKeighan's speeeh was
characteristic and seemed to suit his
following , but was a disappointment to
others. His subsequent conduct in the
Republican meeting in the evening , and
in the office of the Commercial Hotel ,
was , to put it mildly , disgraceful and
lost him many votes in this part of the
district. In fine the net result of the
affair is a failure , and THE TRIBUNE
prophecies a costly one to that erratic
and infirm champion of the independent
movement. McKeighan is his own Bur-
chard.
Kalstedt , The Tailor ,
Successor to L. Bernbeimer , wishes
to announce that he is now located in
the rear of The First National Bank ,
with. a new stock of latest and most
fashionable fall and winter suitings , and

and satisfactory results in all branches
of the merchant tailoring business. He
invites a trial and guarantees satisfac
tion.
MASON , RICHARDS , MAJORS , ALLEN.
The Grandest Political Demonstration
of the Campaign.
AN IMMENSE OUTPOURING
Of Enthusiastic Republicans of Red
Willow County.
There was not room in the opera house ,
Saturday evening , to accommodate the
hundreds that , poured into that edifice to
hear the speakers announced for that
date and place , and many disappointed
ones were turned away. The audience
was one of the most representative and
intelligent ones the hall has ever held.
Mr. J. C. Allen of our city made the
opening remarks. They were pointed ,
appropriate , terse and business-like. It
was necessarily brief , but nevertheless
one of the ncntost talks of the evening.
Hon. L. D. Richards , nominee for
governor , followed in order. His speech
was clean , clearand concise , plain , prac
tical and pointed. Delivered in a mod
est , manly manner , without unnecessary
verbiage or too gaudy flowersof oratory.
It created a marked and favorable im
pression.
Hon. T. J. Majors' speech was full
of characteristic and impassioned patri
otic utterance , and carried his hearers
by storm. Blue-shirted Tom is in
most sensitive touch with the people ,
the old vets especially , and his appear
ance is the signal for a warm reception ,
everywhere.
Judge 0. P. Mason , however , made
the speech ot the evening. The judge
is in the mellow ripeness of advanced
years , and yet.he has the mental vigor
of the "grand old man. " A keen ob
server , a full reader , of large and wide
experience , analytical , of exact judg
ment , logical , comprehensive , ' sarcastic ,
humorous , he covered the issues of this
campaign with matchless ability , and
rounded off an unrivaled meeting with
a master hand.
HON. E. ROSEWATER.
Well the Hon. E. Rosewater has
been here and is gone. He did not bring
his George Washington hatchet with him ,
hence was not able to chip off such adult
huncks of truth as was expected. But
he did fairly well considering how heavi
ly he was handicapped. Instead of the
Gr. W. hatchet Mr. Rosewater was arm
ed with a deadly array of "figgers" quite
as veracious. A very large and intel
ligent audience was therewith effectu
ally pummeled into the Land of Nod.
It may be said that the operation , like
modern dentistry , was painless. With
reference to Mr. St. John's respects to
him in a recent speech here "Mr. Rosewater -
water proved that while his ancestry
were worshiping in Solomon's temple ,
Mr. St. John's forefathers were hunt
ing wild boars , and indulging in sundry
other unseemly conduct in the primeval
forests of the "tight little island. "
Tracing his ancestry to the founder
of the Christian era , Mr. Rosewater
pointed with excusable pride to the fact
that while Mr. St. John wore a sunflow
er and in company with long haired
men and short haired men cranks and
fanatics made his living defaming
Nebraska's fair name , that Mr. Rosewater -
water "wore the white flowers of a blame
less life , before a thousand peering lit-
"tlenesses , in that fierce light which beats
upon a" newspaper sanctum or words
to that effect. As intimated in the out-
start , Mr. Rosewater left his G. W.
hatchet with the janitor of the Bee
building , and some of his statistics and
"figgers" were misfits ; and yet to his
sympathetic hearers his utterances are
as Holy Writ , while his more critical
prohibition hearers accept his effort with
a few grains of salt , and are uncharita
ble enough to rend not a few of his
statements into fragments. You pay
your money and make your choice. But
you can count the votes made by him
on the fingers of one hand and have at
least four fingers left.
SENATORIAL ELOQUENCE.
Hon. C. F. Manderson Delivers a Mag
nificent Address to a large
Audience.
Perhaps the people of this section of
Nebraska have never heard the political
problems of the day handled with greater
eloquence , vigor , comprehensive clear
ness than characterized the effort of
our Senior Senator at the opera house ,
last evening. It was a brilliant speech
setting forth the national attitude of
the party , its promises and splendid per
formance under almost insuperable op
position. He touched that great buga
boo , the tariff , with a' magic wand , dis
sipating democratic falacies concerning
it , and setting out in unmistakable
characters the beneficence of that and
other bills of national importance.
Congressman Laws also made a few
remarks ; taking occasion to acknowl
edge the warm friendship and fidelity
of his home constituency and express
ing his profound appreciation thereof ,
besides touching the issues of the cam
paign.

ARTESIAH WELL IRRIGATION.
While selfish office seekers in Nebrns-
ka and adjoining states are charging the
republican congress with totally neglect
ing the farm interests of the west , the
government is vigorously prosecuting
experiments , the success of which must
be of incalculable value to the producers.
The investigation ordered by congress
to determine the availibility of the under
flow and artesian water for irrigation
comprehends the arid and semi-arid em
pire between the eastern foothills of
the Rocky mountains and a line drawn
southward along the eastern boundary
of North Jakota , passing west of Lin
coln and south to El Paso , Texas. The
law requires tlmtthe work be completed
by July uext. The comparatively brief
period allowed for the investigation and
the vast territory to be covered , has
called out the energy and resources of
the agricultural department , and every
effort will be made to demonstrate by
practical tests the truth nf the claims
of all geologists who have examined
the region.
The experiments conducted in the
Dakotas during the summer fully sus
tain the assertion of the advocates of
artesian irrigation. The flow secured
from each well is sufficient to irrigate
4,000 acres of land. It is nuttheinteri-
tion of the government to bore wells
promiscuously , but merely to demon
strate the force and quantity of the un
derflow , to supervise the use of the water
obtained and report results. The feasi
bility of the scheme once determined in
the territory mapped out , the govern
merit will leave private enterprise to
do the rest.
Secretary Rusk regards the work as
the most 'important yet undertaken by
the government in the west. The data
in possession of the department con
firms what close observers have main
tained , that a large proportion of the
mountain streams is lost in the great
stratum of gravel and boulders under
lying the country from fifteen to one
hundred feet. The Frenchman river in
western Nebraska is mainly supplied
from this great underground reservoir.
Even in the dryest season there is no
perceptible depreciation in the volume
of water , thus proving its subterranean
source. To define the boundaries of
this great basin and demonstrate how
it will best subserve the interests of the
country is a work of far reaching possi
bilities. The success of the undertak
ing means the disappearance of droughts
and scorching hot winds which almost
annually blight sections of the Dakotas.
western Nebraska and Kansas. A sup
ply of artificial moisture during July
and August will render these sections
in productive fertility the peer of any
in the country. Bee.
Postal Improvements.
Postmaster-General Wanamaker has
an ambition to link his name with sev
eral important postal improvements ,
among them the reduction of letter post
age to one cent and the establishment
of postal savings banks and a postal
telegraph. That all these projects are
entirely feasible , and that their adoption
would eventually rebound to the advan
tage of the country , will be seriously
questioned. Every reduction in the
postage heretofore made has been jus
tified by the results which followed , and
why should not a change from two cents
to one cent prove as beneficial as did
the change from three to two cents in
1883 ?
Experience with postal savings banks
in England has strengthened the belief
that they could be made equally advan
tageous here. They need not necessarily
take the place of ordinary savings banks
in cities and towns , but in many villages
and out-of-the-way places there are
thousands of persons of limited means
who would only be too glad to lay away
a little money from time to time if they
had an accessible and safe place of de
posit. As to the postal telegraph , there
is a popular demand for it which will
have to be met sooner or later , and the
improvement cannot be introduced too
soon. Ex.
Will Answer Mr. Rosewater.
On next Sunday evening , Rev. Math
er of the Methodist church , will answer
Mr. Rosewater. Rev. Mather has had
large experience in dealing with such
men and measures , and a vigorous , ef
fective response to Mr. Rosewater may
be expected.
