ihafc 'he has done aught to merit
unfavorable criticism. He is a
republican from the soles of his

A Red Willow county farmer
says farmers "can't raise corn very
well at present prices and farming
can be carried on cheaper than in
the east part of the state. More
can be made by feeding. This
county is all right. Journal. "
George D. Meikeljohn nomi
nated for congress , Wednesday , by
the republicans of the third Ne
braska district. It was the very
strongest nomination possible and
there is no reason to fear defeat
under ordinary circumstances.
A great many of the disaffections -
tions in republican party of this
and other states are purely local
and are caused by the pernicious
offensiveness and the tyrannous
bulldozing of the county bosses.
Despotic and overbearing , many
of them drive men , especially
young men away from the party
by the scores. Bee.
WE learn with great pleasure
that ex-superintendent W. E. An
drews of this county , and now
Prof. Andrews of the college at
Hastings , Nebraska , has been
made the republican nominee for
congress in his district. He will
make a good. one the best kind
of a candidate and congressman.
In saying this we speak of that
which we do know. He possesses
the necessary gifts and qualifica
tions in a rare measure. Ring-
gold ( la. ) Record.
A bill has been reported to the
senate requiring railroad com
panies , within a stated time , to
supply all their locomotives and
cars with safety appliances. Sen
ator Cullom , chairman of the in
terstate commerce committee
which reported the bill , hopes to
have the measure passed at the
present session , and it is to be.
hoped he will be successful.
There has been a strong influence
against the proposed legislation ,
but it will undoubtedly be adopted
and there is no good rerson why it
should not be at the present ses
sion. It contemplates no hard
ship to the railroads , and it is nec
essary to compel the companies to
proceed more rapidly than they are
doing in adopting safety appli'-ri
ces. Bee.
