Jl. Colonel- Mitchell is still try-
I ing to boom an "impossible circula-
t\r \ tion. In a bloviating fit , last week ,
f I he makes the astounding statement
| that "Jamiary 1st. 1897 , will see
1 ' our list crowding 2,000" . But , as
| The Tkibune has had occasion to
} remark in the past a few times ,
the Colonel must not be taken
seriously.
The suicide of Barney Barnato
1 is one of the sensations of the
week. "Worry and drink caused
him to drown himself in the ocean.
And now the wind may be expected
I to be knocked out of the South
I African stock swindle with dis
patch , and hundreds of speculators
I will be ruined. But the supply of
[ suckers will remain undiminished.

J curse.
Among the Nebraskans that have
| been recognized by this administration -
| tration , thanks to Senator Thur-
| ston's efforts , none are cleaner and
[ abler than W. E. Andrews and
| George Meiklejohn ; and it is a
| , ' satisfaction to observe how unani
mous are the expressions of con
gratulation and gratification upon
their appointment. Such men are
a credit to the party and will never
disgrace it.
In England a "society of church
beggars" has been organized for
the purpose of lessening the num
ber of bazaars and entertainments
held for charity and church pur-
| poses. The arguments in favor of
I keeping religion and charity and
amusements separate may not ap
peal to us over here very strongly ,
but there will be a vigorous assent
to the proposition that the returns
from these entertainments are not
large enough to justify the amount
of money and energy put into
them. A daughter of Lord Salis
bury gives the society considerable
prestige in England. Lincoln

The tenth annual convention of
t the National Republican League
to be held in Detroit , Michigan ,
July 13-15 , promises to be one of
the most interesting conventions in
the league's history. The necess
ity is felt of keeping the organization -
< " • tion well equipped and in readiness
for the congressional contest of
*
* • 1898. The splendid work of the
if league in the past is recognized by
J President McKinley who has borne
f the following tribute to its effectiveness -
/ iveness : "There has never been in
| the history of parties in the United
p ' States , any such potent agency for
jf * the dissemination of political information -
\ formation as the National Repub
lican League" .
The movement for a tariff commission -
% mission has taken a definite form
wi ' in a bill introduced by Kepresen-
* " tative Fowler , which offers to es-
P' tablish a tariff commission for the
P- purpose of investigating federal
% - > t taxation , recommending changes
X" therein , and adjusting any inequalities -
? ' ities in existing law. The measure -
| * ; ure provides for a commission of
W seven members , to be appointed
| k , by the president , defines their
\ / ' " powers and duties , fixes salaries
Xi ' of commissioners and their secre-
f taries , fixing proper safeguards ,
P- and is a reasonable and safe measure -
ure looking to the amelioration of
the ills of perennial tariff agita
tion and tinkering , and consequent
quent business disturbance.

The Courier is at least amusing
betimes , and its recent utterance ,
"there are 6o few stalwart Repub
licans in McCook" , reminds one of
how unspeakably and ridiculously
funny the Colonel can become on
occasion. 200 and over stalwart
Republican plurality are "so few"
to a funny mind.

The programme at school creek ,
ist Sunday afternoon , was good , ,
the children all doing well. In the
absence of the absence of the Supt ,
Mrs. J. C. Sidden the assistant had
charge of the services.
The Children's Day exercises
were conducted in both churches ,
last Sunday morning. The Rogers
orchestra rendered efficient service
at the M. E. church , and the whole
programme was good.
Owing to some useless talk about
school matters , Prof. W. J. Dob-

gave a very good entertainment at

superb with cornets , and Mr. Cha-

The reception which the south
has just given to President McKin

ever accorded a republican chief
magistrate in that region , and has
not been surpassed in heartiness by
any ever given to a president of
any party in any locality. Section
alism in politics has virtually dis
appeared. The present time de
serves the name "era of good feel
ing" almost as fully as did the pe
riod covered by Monroe's presiden-
3y which received that designation.

Postmaster Gets Into Trouble.
James McAleese , until Intely postmas
ter at Thornburg , Neb. , wnsnrrnignedhi
the United States court Tuesday ou the
charge of using cancelled postage stamps.
He pleaded guilty , but his sentence was
suspended during good behavior.
McAleese found it difficult to make
both ends meet out at bis home iu Hayes
county , and be conceived the notion df
gathering the cactus which abounds in
that section of the state and selling it to
parties in the east. The idea was evi
dently n good one , for he did a land office
business so much so , that he exhausted
the supply of stamps in his office. He
told the court that he sent in a requisi
tion for more stamps , but they were slow
in arriving , end ns bis outside business
needed prompt attention , he took can
celled stamps and used them. When
the inspector called upon him he denied
having used the cancelled stamps , but
the evidence was so clear against him
that he weakened and confessed. He
then sought to compromise the matter
with the inspector , but found that this
plan would not work. He had a sack
full of the'Cactus in bis office when the
inspector called , all of them being ready
to mail to expectant purchasers. He
says he has made in the neighborhood
of $275 in the business , and his eagerness
to make shipments is what caused his
trouble. Omaha Bee.
