The politicians are looking for
ward to the result of tomorrow’s
county convention with considera
ble interest at least.
Ed. J. Mock promises to revive
the Alma Record soon. He has
replevined his outfit, and the case
goes to the district court.
That waB very keen sarcasm—
the sending by Denver of aid for
the starving laborers of metropoli
tan New York. Very keen.
The president has issued his
proclamation opening the Chero
kee strip to settlement at the hour
of 12 o’clock noon, central stand
ard time, Saturday, September 16.
The county democrats seem to
be a little slow or backward about
their convention. Perhaps it will
not be called until after the repub
licans have made their nomina
tions.
A case of rape in each of Neb
raska’s large cities, this week.
Judge Lynch might profitably
move liis seat of operation north of
the Mason and Dixey line, and
west of the Muddy, for a season.
A little unceremonious hemp
stretching might prove efficacious.
The excited populace shot about
a, ton of unsympathetic lead into a
poor dog’s anatomy, down at Lin
coln, the other day, while laboring
under the hallucination that the
animal was mad; and then the Call
added insult to death by claiming
that the canine died from natural
causes!
Nobndy need starve to death in
this country or suffer food and
elothing if all the persons who can
secure employment will work and
if the people who have abnndant
means to aid those who are really
tn distress and who are worthy
objects of charity will do their
duty and exemplify the fellowship
and philanthropy which the great
American nation professes.
The cause of silver has been
given a very sombre optic in the
lower house of congress—the ma
jority for the repeal of the Sher
man act, and against free coinage
at any ratio, being over a hundred.
The effect on the senate is expect
ed to be as tremendous as the size
of the majority against silver was
unexpected. But the cause of sil
ver will be valiantly fought in the
.senate. -_
The Republican state convention
which meets in Lincoln, Thursday
morning, October 5, at 10 o’clock,
will be composed of 958 delegates,
of which Red Willow county is
entitled to nine members. There
is a recommendation that no prox
ies be allowed in the convention.
One associate judge of the supreme
court and two members of board of
regents of state university will be
nominated.
The Philadelphia Times advo
cates a state bank circulatinn as a
“temporary currency,’’intended for
the “immediate neighborhood” of
the banks. Nothing could better
describe the currency as furnished
by these banks when they were
“on earth before.” The currency
was indeed “temporary,” and in
fact transitory. Its value might
vanish between sunset and sunrise.
It was also limited in its circula
tion; it was worthless a hundred
miles from home, even while its
temporary existence continued.
Any citizen who remembers 1857
can comprehend the beauties of a
“temporary” and “limited” bank
currency.
