S. MORLAN of Red Willow. "DEACON"MORLAN. The expected has happened. The fusion organs are pointing to the nomi nation ot W. S. Morlan for congress as proof positive that the Burlington rail road owns the Republican party. Let us see about that : It is true that Mr. Morlan has been the Burlington's legal representative at McCook for a number of years , and why ? Because Mr. Morlan is a good lawyer , a hard worker and worth every dollar paid him. If Mr. Morlan has been worthy of his hire while an employe of the Burlington , is that not a good indication that he will be worthy of his hire when he is em ployed by the people ? Why should the fact that a man has represented a cor poration be urged against him when he seeks to enter the employ of the people ? Why allow the corporations to monopo lize all the talent ? Heaven knows , and so do the people who have watched the figure cut in congiess by the Fifth dis trict's representative during the past six or eight years , that it is high time to send to congress from this district a man who has ability enough to attract atten tion of a "soulless corporation. " If Mr. Morlan is elected to congress and he will be if the people of this dis trict want to be represented in congress he will be as faithful in serving the interests of his new employers as he has always been serving the interests of the Burlington. The denunciations of "Dea con" Morlan because he is a man of such ability that a great corporation is willing to pay him liberally for his services , is a species of petty politics that has cursed this great state just about long enough. The Tribune believes with all its might that W. S. Morlan will represent the people if elected that he will be true to their interests and true to his interests aa a Republican. Beaver City Tribune. SENATOR QUAY will be a candidate for re-election to the senate. The people of Pennsylvania "wont do a thing" to him. THE supreme court of the United States has decided the Kentucky gover norship contest in favor of Beckham , the Democratic contestant. THE foreign demand for cornnieal is becoming quite a factor , thanks to the efforts of the department of agriculture , under this administration. IN 1895 the world's production of gold was $17,000,000 less than the world's production of silver. In 1898 the pro duction of gold was $73,700,000 greater. Not much danger of a scarcity of the yellow metal. IN two years of the Cleveland admin istration , 1894-95 , we exported $151,199- 092 more gold than we imported. In two years of the McKinley administra tion we imported 41.703,309 more gold than we exported. The difference to the country , in the two periods , was $292,902,401 in favor of McKinley. This doesn't iuclude his billion-dollar favor able trade balance. IN 1894 there were only 231,848,596 bushels of wheat retained for home con sumption ; in 1899 the quantity retained was 452,530,285 bushels. In 1894 there were thousands of people too poor even to buy bread. In 1899 everybody could buy bread. These two comparisons rep resent the different conditions of the country under Democratic and Republi can administrations. EVERY newspaper editor in the United States who desires to study facts in rela tion to the prosperity and panic periods of the country should secure copies of the speeches delivered in the house of representatives , May 3 , 1900 , by Hon. John F. Lacey , of Iowa , and on May 10 by Senator J. H. Gallinger of New Hampshire. They contain many inter esting statements and will be useful for reference during the next few months. TllB free trade papers wince under the oft-repeated statement which they can not deny that foreign ships earn and take out of the United States each year $200,000,000 for carrying American im ports and exports. There is no satisfac tory answer possible to the suggestion that by paying this money to American ship owners the result would be to keep the money at home , employing our own people instead of employing aliens abroad.

Flags and bunting at the "Bee Hive. " Best Grades Sunday Closing. At the last meeting of the W. C. T. U. at the home of Mrs. C. H. Boyle , the subject of Sunday closing came in for discussion , observance of the Lord's day1 being one of the departments of the organization , especially when it pertains to the meat markets , that being consid ered largely in the power of the house keeper to remedy. The thought was generally expressed , that if we are con sistent men and women , we ought to do without meat , rather than buy and cause others to labor on Sunday. Your cor respondent , in talking with both of the proprietors , found them heartily favor ing the closing. One young man said , he liked to attend church with his wife , Sunday morning , but on account of the open market , could not. Another one said , he had no best suit , for he could not attend church now , and did not need it. So you will see the tailor is a loser too. They said , too , that sometimes women would order by telephone , almos noon , when they were nearly cleaned up , and want the meat sent up , thus de taining not only the men , but the faith ful delivery boys who should be in one of our Bible-schools. Surely as the Good Book says , "No man ( or woman ) lives unto himself. " This is largely a matter of custom. May we not arrange Satur day for both days , and thus give to others the "personal liberty" we hear so much about. We believe no one who stops to consider will do otherwise. So we hope there will be an amicable agree ment on the closing of this and all other business places ; that these busy men may have this quiet day with the loved ones at home and in His service.

SCOTT & BOWNE , Chemists , New York. W. C. T. U. COLUMN. MRS. MINNIE FIN IT Y , Press Supt. The Methodists at Oakland , Nebraskahave organized an anti-saloon league. An attempt is being made at Sioux City to start a crusade against the saloons. The only saloon at Hebron is to be removed to Beatrice. The new council is anti-license. The next business meeting will be held at Mrs. Thorgrimson's , June 1st. A full attend ance is requested. The anti-saloon league at Marengo , Iowa , is making vigorous efforts to stamp out illegal liquor-selling m that town. A floating saloon has been launched in the river at Decatur and is now anchored on the Iowa side. The authorities at Decatur will try to suppress it. A Creston , Iowa , blacksmith named Luke made his six-year-old son drunk , and when his wife remonstrated he struck her m the face , knocking out one of her teeth. A new village board at Decatur commenced business , last week , with a capital of two cents in the village treasury , that amount being the surplus over all expenses of last year. All the saloons have been closed. A Coffeyville jointist caused the arrest of 125 boys for shooting craps. In revenge each boy has Hied a complaint against the jointist for selling red liquor contrary to the statute in such cases made and provided. The ladies of the union passed a delightful afternoon at the home of Mrs. Charles Boyle , recently , in honor ot Mr. Boyle's mother , who is visiting with her son and family. Mrs.Boyle is an earnest White Kibboner , and her pres ence exemplified tins fact. We were cleverly entertained and adjourned feeling well repaid for the afternoon's meeting.

THRILLING FIGHT WITH A FISH Monster Tuna Lindetl After si Contest Lasting- Four Hours. From the San Francisco Examiner Professor Charles F. Holder , the naturali&t and author , describes how he caught what he believe to be the largest tuna ever taken with rod and reel. It was early morning , outside of Avalon , bay , Catalina island , when he got a strike which threw the heavy flying fish halt which he was trolling far up the line. "Then , " says the pro fessor , "the magnificent fish came boiling along the surface , throwing the foam high in the air , in a manner that has given some anglers here the 'buck fever. ' Fortunately I hooked the fish and its Itfst rush took about 400 feef of line screaming and hissing from the reel , and had not the heavy brake been soaked the line would have burnt off at ince. I succeeded in turning the fish , which then came in on me , with the greatest velocity. I had managed to reel in the slack , and when the fish reached within twenty feet of the boat it turned and was away again , taking 500 feet of the thre'ad of a line. Again I turned it , and again it came in at me. Turning once more , the fish dash ed away , towing the heavy boat a mile out to sea at a rapid rate. Finally I turned it , and , after a superb play on the surface , circling the boat , it turned toward us a mile inshore , so near the rocks that I thought we should lose it in the kelp. Here the fish fought me for nearly three hours , rushing in and out , plunging down into the blue channel , circling around , darting away , and then coming at me from unexpected points , showing the most remarkable cunning I have ever observed in many years' experience in rod and reel fishing. At 9:30 o'clock , after I had played the tuna three hours , I turned it after one of its rushes , when it gathered its en ergies and headed for Avalon , mak ing a single run of six miles , and at just 10:30 : a. m. I stopped it in front of the Hotel Metropole , where it gave a wonderful exhibition while surround ed by the launches of several friends who came out to see the finish. The tuna was , so far as I could judge , stronger than ever , yet it had towed the boat against the oars of my boat man at least eight miles. A heavy sea had picked up and threatened the boat , but this was forgotten , and at the su preme moment my boatman slipped the ; aff under the lish and it was our ( ? ) not yet the gaff went to pieces and the fish got away 100 feet again. I reeled it in ; this time a big gaff was hooked into it , and , with a cheer , the monster fish was slid into the boat , almost capsizing it. The tuna weigh ed 183 pounds. Its length was six feet two inches , girth four feet , and the catch gives to California the hardest fighting game fish in the world with rod and reel.
