Commissioner D. A. Waterman of Lebanon
SroTTS and Hill have everything their
own , way practically.
Olf course D. A. Waterman is handi
capped with a Fusion plurality , but
stranger things have happened in this
county than his election.
ONE good tenn deserves another
hence Judge Bishop will succeed himself
by the same comfortable plurality re
ceived two years since. It may go
higher.
ADMIRAL DKWKY doesn't seem to
think the United States government is
making any mistake in making its con
trol of the Philippines complete and per
manent.
THK exports of the calender year 1899
are likely to be the largest in our history ,
in spite of the doleful predictions made
as to the prospective effect of the Ding-
ley law upon our foreign markets.
THK money in the country has in
creased nearly 33 per cent , in the three
years since Mr. Bryan and his followers
were trying to make us believe that only
free coinage could cause an increase in
our currency.
THK measure of O. L. Thompson's
popularity will be best known after the
votes are counted in November. But if
you keep your ear close to the ground
you cannot fail to hear indications that
he will run for county treasurer like a
hare.
FRED KINGHORN is not making a
brass-band campaign for sheriff , but his
friends and admirers all over the county
will see to it on election day that the
balance of trade is on his side of the
ledger. The young veteran of the gal
lant First will not lack for votes.
IT seems that the advance in the prices
of beef is not altogether chargeable to
the "beef trust. " Reports from Chicago
quote the prices for live steers $6 90 per
hundred as the highest paid in Septem
ber since 1884. Can it be possible that
the larmers have organized a Live Steer
Trust of their own ?
RED WILLOW county has no better
samples of able and clean young man
hood than is found in the nominee for
clerk of the district court , Foster G
Stilgebouer of Danbury. There is nought
to be said against him as a man and
there is no question as to his ability to
fill that office efficiently.
\
SAM CTAK is measuring political t
swords with one of the most popular o
nominees of the Fusion ticket ; but then 1d
Saui is some pumpkins himself when it d
is a matter of popularity. And he is sili
well qualified , lee The woods are full litl
of Sam Clark's friends. You will hear tlo tltl :
from them on November yth. tl ;
:
THE Comfort is not singing so loudlv
since the convention of "principles" and
the "unwritten law" of the party. The
"principal" thing with the colonel now
is the offices and the emoluments and
perquisites and the appurtenances there &
unto belonging. In that respect , at
least , the colonel bears the ear-marks of
the modern reformer.
b THE TRIBUNE has encouragement to :
bV believe that Red Willow county will be is
V proudly in line for IManoah B. Reese for :
i supreme judge in November. Judge
Reese is preeminently a lawyer and judge ;
laying no special claims to acuteness i
in politics and on this account recom
' mends himself to the "great common >
people" we hear so much about from ,
our political opponents. We believe
that "the people" will remember Mm
with their votes at the coming election.

COLONEL PHILLIPS , in his treatment Pile
of the Republican county ticket , reminds
ns of the debater's -'straw-man. " The
colonel simply calls the ticket the "Mc
Cook ticket , " and then he feels at lib lo
erty to punch away at it at will. Never .
theless , it is the Republican ticket of sii la
Red Willo.v county : properly constitut lawi
ed ; honestly nominated and without of
any attempt on the part of McCook Re ha
publicans to dictate in the least , and it hi
deserves and THE TRIBUNE believes it tuV
will get the votes of all who claim to \V
be Republicans in Red Willow county , th sa
regardless of locality. Let the Republi
cans of Red Willow county , once for all.
eliminate factionalism and sectionalism
from politics and the day of Republican
success and domination has already
dawned. _ _ _ _ _
THE office of county superintendent
is in a sense above political considera
tions is one that especially demands
special and expert qualifications. Large
sums of money are paid by the people
to maintain the great public school
system ; great interests are involved ; in
fine the position is a most vitally im
portant one. All these facts the late
Republican county convention seemed
to have prominently in mind , when
they named Martha J. Cordeal for the
office of county superintendent. Ad
mittedly , she is the best qualified woman
in Red Willow county for the position ,
by education aud experience. Abreast
of the times , she would make an ideal
county superintendent. THE TRIBUNE
warmly and confidently urges her upon
the favorable consideration of the voters
of this conuty.

IVORY SOAP PASTE.
In fifteen minutes , with only a cake of Ivory Soap and water ,
you can make a better cleansing paste than you can buy.
Ivory Soap Paste will take spots from clothing ; and will clean
carpets , rugs , kid gloves , slippers , patent , enamel , russet leather and
canvas shoes , leather belts , painted wood-work and furniture. The
special value of Ivory Soap in this form arises from the fact that it
can be used with a damp sponge or cloth to cleanse many articles
that cannot be washed because they will not stand the free applica
tion of water.
DIRECTIONS FOR MAKING. To one pint of boilinjr water add one and one-half ounces
( one-quarter of the small size cake ) of Ivory Soap cut into shavings , boil five minutes after the soap is
thoroughly dissolved. Remove from the fire and cool in convenient dishes ( not tin ) . Itvlll keep well
