By F. M. KIMMELL. OFFICIAL COUNTY PAF Largest Circulation in Red Willoi AlJ tlie other court house "t envy Boatman his "stand-in" will : Comfort. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Tim court house Pops are fiudii more and more difficult to take Co Comfort seriously. IT is not questioned but that Bennett would make n good sli But that isn't the question. AFTER yeurs of laborious and j taking effort , Treasurer Berge fi succeeded in getting his name it Comfort. Now he is sorry that he d fail "for keeps. " NEW YORK and Brooklyn have a i car strike of promising proportioi their hands. The average Gotln prefers walking to being made th ject of brickbats etc. at the han riotous strikers. THEY do say that S. R. Smith is ing out all the stove-pipe joints an < pieces of crockery in sight , putt ; proper edge on his political snicke in gleeful anticipation of Ike Smit : ing nominated for sheriff by the Po EVEN the Populists admit thai Democrats of Red Willow county modest. For instance , this year Democrats only want the county s intendency , the shrievalty , and the gation for district judge when thei so many things in sight. OUR Democratic brethren are al : beginning to wonder whether or no Populists got the better of them ii arrangement at Indianola.lastSatu The Populists seem to be fairly wel isfied with the result , which fact i more disquieting to the former. THERE may be competent Pop enough in every precinct in Red W county , as Colonel Comfort avers , t all the offices in the county with ci but even the colonel insists that tin only one genuine , all-wool , yard-1 Populist editc \varranted-not-to-np earth and the colonel is "it. " ACCORDING to the agreement ar at by the joint meeting of the Poj and Democratic county central COD tees at Indianola , last Saturday , parties will hold conventions , ant nominees must be the nominees of conventions. This arrangement enl the importance of the steering or si committee immensely. A. E. HASSLER of the Pawnee R < ' veterans i : lican , one of Nebraska's newspaper business , dropped dead i Masonic hall at that place , Wedm afternoon. He , with other Masons assembled in the hall to attend tl neral of a departed brother of the when the summons came to him such startling suddenness A Ion ; clean record of usefulness remains. THERE seems to be a distinct ca recognition of the young Reput element in the nominations , this for county offices. Without undul larging upon this claim , THE TRI : suggests that it is not without p foundation , and urges the wisdom recognition. No party thrives and j without plenty of young , new bloc fusing enthusiasm and vigor into it this end the young Republican ele should not be lost sight of in mi the nominations , this fall. Their t prise and vigorous enthusiasm si have motive and food for action. THE friends of the McCook Coi are having a hard time harmonizin colonel's utterances on "principle' his attitude in the booming of one White for the district judgeship not tion. In his effort to "get even" certain office-holding Pops by pli emphasis on an almost forgotten " ciple" of the Pop party which opi third terms the colonel is still w the pale of "principle"socalled ; b grooming a Democrat for the judgt the "question of "principle" seems lost sight of entirely. As Deacon Ian would 533 % "Where are we Poj I anyway ? " HAVING given the country a vivi scription of the "kissing bug"incli a scientific name , some wicked ne\ per men in Washington are now si that there never was such a bug that the name was manufactured fo occasion. They laugh and make r over the reports of the appearance c bug in other parts of the country say that it is a case of pure suggej like the appearance of air ships it west a few years ago. Having swall the original story , the country will this ( denial with a good deal of inc lity. If it is necessary to read fat the silly season , the kissing bug is i as interesting as any the boys gc On the whole , it might as well I lowed to stand. Journal. Alger's Resignation. SecretaryAlger has tendered his gnation , to take effect at the pie > f the president. It will probabl iccepted at an early day , or as so ( tfr. McKinley shall have selectei accessor. The resignation of Secretary Alg < mdoubtedly a voluntary act. ' . lave been rumors of hostility to hi he cabinet , but there was probabl 'oundation for them , while so far a resident is concerned there is reas > elieve that he has never intimati jeneral Alger that he desired his lation. For more than a year pas ihortly after the beginning of the vith Spain , the secretary of wa jeen the object of criticism and d : iation to an extent which few j nen in our history experienced. ] : rror , or defect , or short-coming in lection with the enormous task c janizing and equipping a large arm jeen charged to him , and it has jeen persistently alleged that pol "avoritism has characterized the a < stration of his department. Some lave not hesitated to charge him : orrupt use of his office. These at Seneral Alger has borne withcomr ible patience , but it is not surpi .hat he should have finally deterr .o relinquish an office the meritc vork of which was not recognized > nly the faults for which others it least in part responsible were ided before the public. He will for defensf lave a free opportunity t is not unlikely that he will avail ielf of it. General Alger is a candidate fo Jnited States senate from Michiga succeed Senator McMillen. This d ess had much to do with his resign ) f the war portfolio. He has a seen popular with the Michigan R icans and it is quite possible th : will make a winning fight for the : orship , although McMillen desir iucceed himself and is a strong m Dmaha Bee. AN eastern parson told his conj .ion that Texas was stricken by a aecause the name of God was en irom the constitution. To avoid 1 lisasters of that nature an extra st > f the legislature should be called I ip the defective instrument. IN June , the "Progressive Worn America , " a national club having i jurpose high the attainment of pra iltruism , passed its first year \ \ nembership of nearly 300 and nin : ircles in the states of Iowa , Sout' : ota , Alabama , Massachusetts , Pen ania , Kansas , Louisiana , Indiana forma , Missouri , Michigan , New J tnd Colorado. Its strongest rt neudation is claimed to be "The if altruism , which prompts hundrc lindly acts and which leads to ill ; elfish love that is the working prii > f true Christianity. " RED WILLOW.
