The MiiCook Tribune thinks a
democratic paper will not thrive in
McCook. This news, though it
may embarrass the projectors some,
will not prevent its establishment.
—Hastings Democrat.
Not one house committee chair
manship has been given to the
numerous members who came from
the states west of the Missouri
river. Rather shabby treatment
for western democrats, we should
say.
England is satisfied with the
Bering sea sealing decision ;Canada
claims a complete victory; and the
United States has clearly gained
the main object of its contention.
International arbitration is certain
ly a grand success.
The farmers of Connecticut are
trying to break the drouth by bom
barding the skies after the fashion
of General Dyrenforth. Rain
Maker Jewell of Kansas is at
leisure just at present and the Nut
meg state men should send for him.
The western railroads are now
climbing over one another in their
haste to offer reduced rates to
Chicago. They have finally come
to the conclusion to make hay while
the sun shines, and evidently re
gret having wasted so much time
in making up their minds.
The meeting of the republican
state central committee Wednesday
evening was largely attended,
almost every member of the com
mittee being present. It was an
enthusiastic meeting and every
member reported the signs all
pointing to the election of a repub
lican judge this fall.
Senator Sherman declares that
Congress is not indifferent to the
needs of the country, but is hon
estly divided on the best policy to
be pursued. The people have
known that all along, but would
like to be informed definitely when
the honest division will be trans
formed into honest action.
The New York Sunday Tribune
publishes a little cartoon that illus
trates the situation in so simple a
way that he who runs may read
and the reading carries conviction
with it. It is a picture of a sheep
fold with Uncle Sam as the shep
herd. The old man has become
wearied with well doing and has
gone to sleep in the shade. The
gate has been left open. The big
flock of sheep are panic stricken
and are beginning to rush for the
further horizon. Crouching in a
corner is the striped tiger that has
become the emblem of the national
democracy. And the tiger is say
ing: “What are they runing for,
I haven’t done anything—yet?”
The power of Secretary Hoke
Smith to hang up several hundred
pensions per day for “investiga
tion” and keep the recipients out
of their dues for an indefinite
period until he gets ready to see
whether they are legally awarded
or not, is to be tested in the courts.
The premises taken by the plaint
iffs in the case will be that the time
to suspend a pension is after an
investigation and not before, and
that there is no more authority
vested in Mr. Smith to stop the
payment of pensions to those on
the pension roll of the government
than there is to suspend the pay of
a congressman or officeholder duly
certified or commissioned, until
some member of the cabinet has
“investigated” the legality of the
election or the appointment.

Announcement.
Having purchased the stock and good
will in business of J. Albert Wells, I desire
to announce the continuance of the busi
ness in the same stand and my purpose to
make it more popular than ever.
Adhering to my past method in busi
ness of selling for cash only—thereby main
taining myself a cash buyer in the markets
—I shall hope to demonstrate the advan
tage of that method to my customers by
selling goods cheaper than they have ever
been sold in this section of the state.
During the next thirty clays and be
fore the arrival of fall lines I shall continue
the CLEARING SALE of remnants and of
summer goods, and of many other goods,
especially carpet remnants and millinery,
at prices even lower, in many instances,
than during the past thirty days of clearing
out stock.
Lack of time prevents any quotation
of prices this week. Watch the papers and
CALL AND SEE. SEEING IS BELIEVING.
George E. Thompson.
