Once more it is announced that
the passenger agents are unable to
agree upon rates for the world’s
fair and it is likely that one fare
will be charged for the round trip
in some parts of the west. This
is a reasonable rate, and will prove
profitable to the railroads.
President Harrison retires
from the office of president of the
United States with the esteem and
confidence of the best people of all
parties. His administration has
been pure and conspicuous above
all others since the war fcr its abil
ity. History will give him a high
place among the presidents who
have been inaugurated since the
adoption of the constitution.
The young Democratic Governor
df Massachusetts toasted the young
Republican Governor of Ohio at a
banquet held at Washington last
night as “a manly man in misfor
tune.*’ “Stronger than politics is
friendship, and stronger than pol
itical principles is human sympa
thy.” This language, uttered by
Governor Russell, is coming to
be more than a mere sentiment in
America. It has taken the form
of a practice which is becoming
rapidly incorporated into our nat
ional life.
The acceptance by Ex-President
Harrison of the professorship of
constitutional law in Leland Stan
ford university seems a wise move.
It indicates that Mr. Harrison does
dot accept for himself the popular
belief that the regular fate of an
61-president is to go into a few
years of melancholy retirement
atid then die. To devote active
years to the instruction of Ameri
can youth in the constitution of
their country would seem an ap
propriate work for one who has
filled the highest place under that
constitution.
With the death of M. H. A.
laine a peculiar figure passes out
of life and a unique pen is put
away forever. M. Taine was best
known to English readers by his
popular work on English litera
ture. Although written by a
Frenchman, and although essen
tially French from point of view
and in treatment—even to preju
dice—the work is accepted as
authority by many if not really a
nfajority of the teachers. It is
perhaps the most extensive treatise
extant on the subject. Certainly
no other work on the same subject
covers so much ground. It is
Taine’s monument, and will live
after pounded brass and carven
marble are shapeless and forgotten.
The Omaha Bee is desirous to
know something about “Mr. Coch
ran of Nebraska who ywas lost in
the shuffle.” It is possible that
the Bee refers to that sterling re
publican, Judge Cochran of Mc
Cook, who was one of the last of
the gentlemen complimented by
President Harrison prior to the
late change in the administration.
He was appointed consul to San
Salvador and through the activity
of Senator Paddock was duly con
firmed, He was confirmed, by the
way, without a dissenting voice in
the senate, and will soon be on his
way to his post. If that is being
“lost in the shuffle” verily there
be many of Nebraskans these days
who would be delighted to find
themselves lost in the same way.

It would seem that all efforts to
abolish the Nebraska railroad pass
and substitute a uniform tariff of
two cents a mile are doomed to be
vain and futile. Journal.

It is a sad thing to jpe a little
boy smoking a cigarette; it would
be more pleasant to see him steal
ing anvik or breaking into jewelry
stores. It is sad to look upon his
rosy countenance and reflect that
in a few years a, few fleeting years,
the same face will be pallid, and
the eyes lustreless, and that the
boy himself will be locked in a
padded cell with a refrigerator
strapped to his temples. When
you see a grown man smoking
cigarettes you do not need to worry,
or lose sleep, because the grown
man probably knows what is good
for him, and has obtained his
grandmother’s consent; but the lit
tle boy’s indulgence is clandestine
and unauthorized, and somebody
should take him by the finger and
lead him back to the lotis-land
of abstinence. The average little
boy is a creature of whom great
things may be hoped and expected
if he is not permited to drive his
opportunities into a corner and
strangle them to death.—Walt
Mason in Washington News.
C. H. Meeker is doing some energetic
rustling these days endeavoring to secure
the establishment of a canning factory
in our midst. A brief canvass among
the farmers has shown a disposition to
encourage the project; quite a number
have agreed to plant a given acreage of
tomatoes ior delivery to the factory,
should one operate here during this
season. The Tribune submits to bus
iness men and farmers that the project
should be given hearty co-operation and
encouragement. A factory that makes
use of the product of the farm must nec
essarily be beneficial to us all.
Fowler Wilcox has about closed the
purchase of the John Baton ranch, ad
joining his place on the south side of the
river. There is a good round sum in the
consideration. This will give Fowler
820 acres of as fine land as Nebraska
affords, and together with the holdings
of his brother Gerald they have 1060
acres in a body. They will break 200
acres up, this year, and will put in 80
acres to alfalfa at once. The mantle of
Eli rests upon them.
The McCook Irrigation and Water
Power company, with a capital stock of
$150,000, has filed articles of incorpora
tion. The company has bought and will
extend the C. H. Meeker canal, located
in Hitchcock and Red Willow counties.
The incorporators are C. H. Meeker, C.
A. Hanna, N. H. Meeker, George Hock
nell, S. A. Osborn and R. O. Phillips.—

You never can be just quite certain of
the weather, even in Nebraska, which
has more fine days in the year than any
other state we know of. Philosophers
say that it is by the changes of things,
the varieties of surroundings and emo
tions that human nature is developed.
Probably that is the reason we have so
many great men and noble women in
Nebraska. __

attle, Washington, in 1891, arrived home
