NEW YORK is pushing the candidacy -
didacy of Governor Levi P. Morton -
ton for the Republican nomination
for president with a vim and earnestness -
estness which must be very encouraging -
couraging to Levi and his friends.
TE A. P. A. propose furnishing -
ing Nebraska's next governor ,
so are pushing Mayor Broatch of
Omaha for the place. These early
booms of teninflate themselves to
the bursting point.-Hastings
Democrat.
' CANDIDATES for national delegates -
gates are bobbing up all over
the state. In order to be in the
-style THE TRIBUNE suggests the
name of W. , J. Morlan of Mc-
Cook. The deacon is national
delegate size.
ANENT the move being made to
send a McKinley delegation to
St. Louis from Nebraska , it
strikes THE TItIBUNE that it would
be the proper caper to send an
uninstructed delegation. McKinley -
ley is all right , however.
THE Beaver City Hyphen suggests -
gests that "a thick skin is 1)refer-
able to a thick pate" . True. But
when the combination is found , as
in Kelley's case , and a job lot of
over-done cerebral tissue in the
bargain , the case is hopeless and
unspeakable.
THE Beaver City Hyphen presumes -
sumes to call in question the
straightness of the Beaver City
Tribune's Republicanism. And
this reminds us of two or three
things : The demi-mondaine ditti ,
"Once I Was Pure as the Beatiful
Snow" , the devil o the mount ,
and similar specimens of historic ,
indivisible mastodonic gall.
THE Nebraska Editorial nssoci-
ation will meet in Lincoln , next
week. They will pass resolutions
favoring , standing up for the profession -
fession , then go home and underbid -
bid their competitors , cut business
to a bare-point living and then return -
turn , next year , and do the same
over again.-Beaver City Hyphen.
Colonel Kelley evidently knows
all abotit it from exercise.
A GE3I by Senator Wolcott of
Colorado : "Whatever of advancement -
ment and of progress of the human
race the centuries shall bring us
must largely come , in my opinion ,
through the spread of the religion
of Christ and the dominance of
the English speaking people , and
wherever you find both you find
communities where freedom exists -
ists and law is obeyed. Blood is
thicker than water" .
THE new rule compelling the
weighing of stock has gone into
effect. It is claimed by the freight
men that this new rule will prove
more satisfactory to shippers than
the old , after the stockman is
familiar with its workings , and
that it will prove far more satisfactory -
tory to the railroads , as cars will
not be overloaded. . By this new
system all stock will be weighed
for shipment instead of being
shipped in carload lots. The scale
of prices varies with the distance
from South Omaha yards , the average -
erage a being 33 cents per hundred
pounds from Nebraska points west
of Kearney and Holdrege.

Sunday morning last , a suspicious -

three inches in height and was
nearly as thick. It was made of
some kindyof blue clay or like maternal -
ternal and was provided at one end
with a candle. This had burned
down to the edge of the composition -
tion and had there gone out. The
burned paper and a burned match
made evident the design of the I
miscreant who left it , if it be really
a bomb , as is generally believed.

This town was favored last week
with two exceedingly interesting
events. One was an evening meeting -
ing at the church , which developed
into a speaking meeting , and the
interest became so soul stirring
that many had a word to say. The
Rev. Bell of McCook was presfnt ?
and favored the brethren with a
short talk , which added spirit to the
meeting , and some came near
shouting. It was a time that will
long be remembered by the good
people of that neighborhood. The
other event occurred at the Coleman -
man school house , Saturday even-
ing. Rev. D. S. Morris was to
preach on Sabbath , and so came out
Saturday , and put up with Wm.
Coleman , who told him that the
friends intended to meet at the
school house that evening and have
a little "sing" , and suggested that
they go up a little early. After a
time friends commenced to drop in
on foot , in carts , buggies and
wagons , until the house was full.
Extra seats were provided , but
would scarcely hold all. After
singing an hour or more , Wm.
Coleman announced that they
would have a recess of fifteen min-
utes. The ladies , young and old ,
repaired to the buggies and wagons
and soon returned with baskets ,
and baskets , and baskets , and to the
surprise of the reverend gentleman ,
the "sing" had developed into a
full grown basket supper. The
baskets were sold by numbers , and
then for an hour what a time they
did have. Nothing occurred to
mar the pleasure of the evening.
Everyone was in the best of spirits.
The sum of six dollars was raised ,
which was handed to Rev. Morris ,
who gave the friends a talk , and
with prayer and song dismissed
them. One meeting was soul
stirring , while the other was
stomach pacifying.
