OFFICIAL COUNTY PAPER.
REED WILL BE SPEAKER.
The statements of democratic
newspapers that a movement had
been started among Eepublicans
to defeat the nomination of Thomas
B. Heed for the speakership of the
next house and that the adminis
tration desires his defeat , have
been given an unqualified denial
by Representative Grosvenor of
Ohio , whose authority will hardly
be questioned.-
General Grosveuor says that the
name of Mr. Beed will be the only
one mentioned in the caucus of the
Republican party for speaker of
the house of representatives and
that he will be nominated unani
mously and enthusiastically elected
by the same unanimous vote of the
Republican membership of the
house. The administration , said
General Grosvenor , will not only
not oppose Mr. Reed , but in his
opinion it would be the height of
bad politics if any known friend of
the administration should be found
engaged in anj'thing of that char
acter. "If it was deemed advisa
ble four years ago and two years
ago to elect Mr. Reed speaker , "
said the Ohio congressman , "by
much stronger reasons it is desir
able now that he should not only
be elected , but that he should be
elected without opposition by the
entire party. " There can be no
doubt that all republicans who
have the interests of the party at
heart will be in accord with this
view.
It is well understood that Mr.
Reed is not in sympathy with the
territorial expansion idea and also
that he does not approve of the
proposal of the currency reformers
to retire the United States legal
tender notes. Doubtless there are
some among these elements who
would like to see him deposed from
the speakership , but they should
understand that his influence would
not thereby be weakened , though
his power in giving direction to
legislation would be abridged.
On the floor of the house the com
manding force and authority of
Thomas B. Reed as a leader would
still be felt. But his place in a
republican house is in the speak
er's chair , where he has never had
a superior and there is where at
least nine-tenths of the republicans
of the nation want him to remain.
Bee.
ALLEN'S plurality is 80.
ILRAEL was defeated in the 67th
representative district by three
votes.
THAT was a body blow to Sena
tor Allen , and incidentally to Col.
Bryan.
THE Atlanta Constitution thinks
that poets are nearly all men and
women who are suffereriug from
liver complaints. And the Denver
Post has all along believed it was
'pendicitis.
SPECULATION is already rife as
to who will be Senator Allen's suc
cessor. Among the possibilities
are : D. E. Thompson , M. L. Hayward -
ward , A. W. Field , B. J. Hainer ,
G. M. Lambertson , M. B. Reese.
And the campaign is just opened.
"I WOULD not , " says Senator
Hale , "take the Philippines if
Spain would give 840,000,000 with
them. " This is the first intimation
we of the distant west have had
that an effort had been made to
saddle the islands onto the honored
senator.
IT is given out on very good au
thority that the war tax will remain
for another year at least , and that t
no tariff legislation will be enacted
during the coming short session of
congress , which will be devoted
quite exclusively to passing the
appropriation bills.
" \
WHATEVER rnay be the prospects
for the continuance of the war
taxes , the gum on the goverment's
documentary stamps was certainly
not made to stick. This is really a
a serious matter , as the "shedding"
of a stamp from a check or docu
ment may render it invalid in law
and entail serious loss.

morning , via the stage route from

East Valley , this week. He was
transacting business in town , Tues
day and Wednesday.
It was a merry company which
spent a few hours at the home o
A. B. Wilson , Friday evening o :
last week. The sosial environ
ments , games and kindred amuse
ments served to make the evening
of happiest recollections for those
present.
Miss Anna and Will Boucher o
Kearney have been renewing ac
quaintances here the past week ,
Miss Anna arrived early last week
and Will came over on Friday to
take part in the band concert , Sat
urday evening. They left , Tues
day morning , to continue their
visit with Culbertson friends.
The free distribution by the
government of Senator W. V. Al
len's speeches , which was perfected
here , some weeks ago , did not seem
: o have the desired effect. It is
; hought that had they been prop-
jrly distributed over Frontier coun-
; y rather than along the Burling-
ion's right-of-way that his royal
jobs , Allen , would have won in a
santer.
The band concert , last Saturday
sveniug , was not a rollicking suc-
: ess as regards the monetary feat-
ire , but the musical programme
vas all that could have been ex
acted and thoroughly enjoyed by
hose present. The inclemency
if the weather no doubt kept many
, way , as the boys have always
leen accorded a good patronage
mder favorable conditions.
THE Tammany tiger will now be
ompelled to go into retirement ,
bserves the Denver Post until it

Coleman exchanged parables and
ate peaches at auntie's a half day ,

turned from a visit of about two
weeks in Perkins and Dundy coun
ties and will be at home to their

Farmers up here are in the corn
fields early and late , these fine
days , and the cribs are filling up.
M. H. Cole brought out a new crib ,
Monday. There is no excuse for
any young man fooling his time
away now while there is so much
corn to pick.
A young man up here wants a
job in the round-house , and spent
two and a half days of this fine
corn weather in town , this week ,
when a half day should have an
swered every purpose. Two days
lost and Jwo ; dollars not earned.
Followed up this will insure pov
erty in this or any other country.
We learn that a hunter said he
would not pay any attention to the
notice from up here in last week's
paper. We kindly and gently hint
that all persons hunting here will
be turned over to the proper offi
cers with instructions to prosecut
to the law's utmost limit. A man
who will kill a prairie chicken or i
quail now is the farmer's wors
enemy.
