This is How it Stands.
In Red Willow county, Nebraska, ac
cording to the American Newspaper
Directory for 1894, now in press, the
McCook Tribune has a larger regular
issue than any other paper.

ARGUED AMD SUBMITTED.
On Tuesday the Red Willow
county-set removal case was ar
gued before the state supreme
court and submitted for the de
cision of that honorable body.
Just when the court will render a
decision in this now somewhat
famous case is yet a matter of
conjecture.
Red Willow county is entitled
to nine delegates in the Republi
can state , convention, Omaha,
August 22.
Jack MAcCoLLof Dawson coun
ty becomes stronger each day as a
candidate for governor. The peo
ple want a western man this time
and Jack is just about the fellow
that will get there.—Red Cloud
Chief.
With Jack MacColl for govern
or and W. E. Andrews for con
gress, the Republicans will sweep
the platter clean in southwestern
Nebraska, this fall.—Cambridge
Kaleidoscope.
State organization of the Re
publican legion w-as effected at
Lincoln, Saturday, with about fifty
charter members. The objects
are to further Republican princi
ples and doctrines. Lincoln is to
be headquarters for the state.
Ia will be best appreciated how
many persons are publishing news
papers in this portion of Nebraska
and adjacent parts of Kansas and
Colorado, that ought to be in the
penitentiary on bread and water,
when we state that Hayes county
is the only county cf forty coun
ties in which the rate provided by
law is charged for legal printing.
The Hastings Democrat sug
gests that Andrews and Mc
Keighan might cut down campaign
expenses by making the district
on a tandem bicycle. But wouldn’t
McKeighan’s predisposition to
“rheumatism” bar him out of such
an arrangement? It would cer
tainly be a delightful arrangement
for the professor, whose legs are
as agile as his head is clear and
his heart is clean.
A Colorado divine said in
a recent baccalaureate address:
“Here stands the youth, a thing
of energy, of potentiality. He
is the highest product of creation;
the heir of all ages. All that
science, art, literature philosophy,
civilization have achieved is his.”
The youth no doubt agrees. He
will not really begin to doubt un
til he hits the ground with a heavy,
• jarring thud when he begins hunt
ing for a job at $12 a week.—
Journal.
Three weeks more of the miners’
strike will stop all but emergency
trains on the railroads, close more
than half the factories and give
business almost as much of a jolt
as the panic. The west would
not be effected by this trouble if
it were not for the interference of
the walking delegates. In the
west and the south the question
of wages is in no sense an issue.
The men strike in sympathy with
the Ohio and Pennsylvania miners.
This is the whole story.—Journal.
The Iowa weather report shows
that the month of May was the
driest known in that state for more
than sixteen years. The rainfall
was but one-third of normal, while
the heat was considerably in ex
cess of the average. Considerable
alarm is expressed over the con
dition of the crops. In view of
the conditions prevailing over a
very large area of this country
farmers with grain on hand ought
to hold it if possible for better
prices. It does not seem possible
for wheat, for example, to go low
er. In fact the tendency of the
markets ought to be upward from
this time forward.
