So much lias been said of the "nat
ural antagonism between labor and
capital" that people of ordinary good
sense have been led from the constant
repetition of phrase to imagine that
this hostility amounts to something
dreadful. Now as a matter of fact
hostility between labor and capital is
no more natural and generally no more
intense than the war between the buyer
and seller. The enmity between the
ordinary citizen and the grocer , and his
butcher , and between the woman of
the period and the dry goods store , is
fully as fervid as that between the em
ployee and the employer as a rule.
What does all this gabble about "nat
ural antagonism" amount to more than
to declare that as every person in the
community buys and sells something
there is a natural antagonism between
all individual units in society ? And
so there is , but what of it ? Laws are
made to protect every man against his
natural enemy , every other man , if they
go so far as to come to blows. But
they generally do not. What is the
sense of singingl out the day laborer
for hire as the victim of anything par
ticularly new and strange and deplor
able , because he wants to get the high
est price for his labor and his employ
er wants to get his labor the lowest
price possible ? That is the primal ,
fundamental aspiration of every human
being in his relation to his fellows.
He wants to get the most he can for
his stock in trade and they all want it
at the smallest price attainable. But
.t- it would look a little silly writing long
leaders in the newspapers trying to
prove that the world will therefore
-i- come to an end , if something isn't done
right away to stop it. The world has
managed to last quite a while without
anything startling being done. The
gradual tendency toward a higher civil
ization , must be relied upon to soften
the asperities of the competition of life.

villainous aspersions of the chaste char
acter and correct habits of the editor

Some of the political newspapers are
engaging in epithets , that , even in the
midst of a heated political campaign ,
are enough to cause supreme disgust
and to excite contempt in the minds of
decent men. If shameful billingsgate

self-respecting man should pray to be

facts. The plain and clear cut state
ment of incontrovertible facts will do
more to influence a sensible man than
volumes of personal abuse. We are
disposed to give the people credit for
understanding plain English without
the need of a coat of ribald varnish.
One of the best sales made in this
vicinity for some ti ne was that of the

Dutton of Unadilla , Monday , for $5-
000. It is Mr. Dntton's purpose to
move out and take possession of his
newly purchased farm in the near future.
He has in mind extensive improve
ments and will farm the place here on a
large scale. The entire farm lies under
the Meeker irrigation ditch , which adds
greatly to its Value. Mr. Dutton is of
the desirable class of settlers of means
and energy through whose money and
efforts this section of Nebraska will
rapidly and permanently develop as it
should by reason of its fertility. THE
TRIBUNE extends a hearty welcome.

September 5th many of the schools
of the county will begin their fall term
and I would urge upon the patrons of
the schools the necessity of sending
; heir children the first day and every
day. More benefit will be derived by
the pupil from three month's regular
attendance at school than from twice as
nany days in school scattered along
luring the year. It encourages the
eacher to do better work. In Nebras-
ere the boy can be employed at
on the farm all the fall and far in-
winter it requires some sacrifice
d him to school , but it is our pat-
uty to fit every boy for intelli-
pitizenship. The state realized
