HUNG CHANG is unlike "The
Father of His Country" in one particular
at least : It's no trouble to him to lie.
lNDAlrtn.A gave birth , last week , to
two new members of the newspaper
family , the Sun and the Republican. J.
S. Phillips is responsible for the Fusion
Sun and W. C. Bond is god-father to the
Republican Republican.
THE Republican senatorial committee
of the agth district will meet in McCook
on iiext Tuesday afternoon for the pur
pose of selecting a date for holding the
next senatorial convention , and for the
transaction of any other proper business.
WHAT if all these terrible charges be
ing made by the Fusion newspapermen
in Red Willow county against each other
are true ? At all events , the Populists
are proper objects of sympathy. Their
most earnest , anguishing prayer musl
be to be delivered from their fool ( news
paper ) friends.
RANDOLPH , whom nature
unkindly obscured by "borning" him
Smith , calls Fusion an "Accursed , putrid
mass , a stinking carcass , " and adds the
heartfelt prayer that it may be swept
from the face of the earth. Samuel evi
dently does not want the Democrats oi
Red Willow county to vote for the
"Warming Pan" for congress.
THE Republican party has demon
strated that self-government is not only
possible , but honorable and full of glory.
The leaders of today take council of the
wisdom of the past. They are the dis
tributors not the hoarders of liberty.
They gave freedom to Cuba and Porto
Rico and will give that freedom to the
Philippines which will best protect indi
vidual rights and guarantee the respect
of other powers. This is the imperialism
of true freedom , the royalty of justice ,
and will soon be recognized as the
-crowning glory of national achievement.
WHAT is Mr. Bryan's plan for the dis
position of the Philippines ? The only
inference from his speeches is that he
would let loose fair promises and hon
eyed words , and on the strength of these
would withdraw the American troops
from the Philippines. What would pre
vent , after withdrawal of the American
troops , the same horrors in Manila that
have visited Pekin ? What would be
come of the natives who had helped to
suppress the Tagal insurrection after
they were thus left to the devices of
Aguinaldo , whose cruelty did not stop
at the murder of his own generals ?
THE "Full Dinner Pail" is an argu
ment for the farmer as well as for the
city laborer. Who supplies what is put
in the pail ? The farmer. If the city
laborer has his wages cut in two by free
silver , and is put out of a job by the
closing of the mills , the farmer suffers
equally ; for the farmer may give away ,
but he cannot sell , the products of his
farm which the city laborer cannot af
ford to buy. It is because of the "full
dinner pail" that the farmer is getting
so much better prices for what he sells
than he could get before the election of
McKiiiley. It is because of the "full
dinner pail" that he has paid off his
mortgages , and become a lender of
money' where he used to be a borrower.
WITH the exception of two years ,
years productive of distress , hunger ,
bankruptcy and panic , the destiny of
the nation has been partially or entirely
under the control of the Republican
party ever since the inauguration of
Abraham Lincoln in iS6r. During these
forty years the country has advanced by
leaps and bounds in population , wealth ,
material , social and intellectual develop
ment. The Trans-Mississippi region has
been converted from buffalo ranges to
imperial states , bridges have been thrown
across mighty rivers , railways have been
built over the mountains , millions of
homes have been created , schools with
out number have been built , colleges
have been endowed , human liberty has
been extended , the verdict of the ballot
has been respected ( in Republican
states ) , and the republic has a deeper
hold on the affections of its citizens than
ever before , and compels respect abroad.

THE practical turn of the Fusion mind |
is now being well illustrated in Redj
Willow county by the attempt being !
made to maintain three Fusion newspapers - |
papers in a field where it has taxed. Colonel - '
onel Comfort's ingenuity and lung power
to make one grow profitably and credit
ably. Such methods applied to affairs
of state or business would inevitably
wreck them , and are additional evidence
that the Republicans should win in this
county , this year.
, WHILE THE TRIBUNE believes in en
forcing the present game law , it believes
that far more radical legislation is needed
and should be enacted at the coming
session of the Nebraska legislature. The
killing of all wild or game birds should
be absolutely prohibited under severe
penalty for a period of years five years
at least. The grasshopper plague alone
demands this action. These pests are
appearing in eastern counties and the
necessity of action must be apparent to
all Nebraskans. This seems to be a
practical action it should become a fact
of the next legislature.
BRYAN would give absolute independ
ence to the Philippines. This of course
means that the flag shall be furled and
the army recalled. Will he explain
how this can be done ? Is there any
constitutional provision for alienating
American territory ? If there is one con
stitutional argument against acquiring
territory there are a dozen against
abandoning territory. The rebellion
settled that question once for all. As
well talk about abandoning Texas , Alas
ka , Kentucky or Ohio. Methods of ad
ministration are legitimate questions for
party differences , but to deny a fact
solemnized by treaty and ratified by
congress is to betray unpardonable ig
norance of the powers and functions o
government.

We publish an advertisement of Kodol
Dyspepsia Cure in our columns , this is
sue , and wish to say to our readers that
we believe this preparation is worthy of
a trial by any person suffering from that
agonizing disease. We honestly believe
it will do for you all the manufacturers
claim for it.
Kodol Dyspepsia Cure is prepared by
the well-known and reliable firm ofE.
C. DeWitt & Co. , Chicago , and from our
lorig experience in a business sense ,
with that firm as advertisers , we feel
safe in saying , that they would not place
on the market a preparation'for the cure
of dyspepsia unless they had a remedy
of the highest merit and conscientiously
believed it would cure that almost uni
versal complaint.
We further add that if this preparation
is equal to the other well known remedies
made by them , viz : DeWitt's Little
Early Risers , DeWitt's Witch Hazel
Salve , and One Minute Cough Cure , it
will speedily win its way into public
favor.
We cheerfully and heartily give our
public endorsement to this concern , and
the reliability of the goods they manu
facture , which latter has been largely
the means of their success ; and in writ
ing this voluntary endorsement on our
part , we feel that we are simply perform
ing a duty that we owe our readers.

RAN A RACE WITH DEATH.
Narrow BInrein by "Which a Man on a.
Ilailvrny Bridge Won.
A high trestle bridge more than a
Quarter of a ihlle long , supporting the
single track of the Nickel Tlate rail
road , spans the valley of Grand river ,
east of ralnesvllle , O. The bridge Is
little wider than the distance between
the rails , and the ties are placed eight
or ten Inches apart , the space between
being open to the river below.
A young man who crossed recently
had a thrilling experience on the
bridge. lie had just passed the center
when a fast train rounded the curve
behind him. As the engine whistled
he quickened his pace. With every
step the train was rushing nearer , and
there was not a moment to lose.
Once the young man stumbled and
seemed about to fall , but quickly re
gained his balance and hurried on. As
he reached the place for which he had
started the train was close behind , and
he had just time to swing himself over
the side of the bridge as the locomotive
thundered by. The ends of the ties
were slippery with grease from drip
ping axle boxes , and his foot slipped
wide as he left the track. His right
hand , stretched blindly out before him ,
touched a. round Iron bar , bracing two
parts of the bridge , and , with a grip
like that of a drowning man , his fin
gers clasped around it. For a moment
he swung in empty air. In auother'his
left hand had found a place beside his
right , and his feet touched the wel
come edge of a brace below. With
bleeding fingers clutching the slender
Iron bar that vibrated widely from side
to side , moments seemed hours.
At last the train passed , and the
young man was able to climb slowly to
the track above. Unnerved by the tryIng -
Ing experience , he lay for a moment
stretched across the rails and , then
rising to his feet , with blanched face
and unsteady limbs , made his way to
firm ground. Cleveland Leader.
THE MILL RUNS ITSELF.
Economical Way of Doliipr Business
on a Connecticut Farm.
Joe McCormick of the International
Pulp company tells a delicious story of
paper making In Connecticut , which
shows that operating a mill is not such
a serious matter as these big proprie
tors would have us believe. Strolling
along the countryside in haymaking
time , Mr. McCormlck happened on a
little paper mill which buzzed merrily
In a shady dell , with everything clean
and sweet around it. A look In the
office showed no one there , and the vis
itor then wandered over the mill , hop
ing to find some one to whom he could
talk business. The machine was hum
ming along , and it seemed impossible
that there should be no one in attend
ance. But even shouting failed to bring
forth signs of life , and Mr. McCormick
was about to leave when he spied
some men in a hayfleld some distance
away.
"I say , " he called out to the nearest
one when he got within hearing , "who
runs this mill ? "
"I do , " was the. reply.
"Well , who's the owner ? "
"Why , I am , to be sure. "
"Do you mean to say that the mill
runs itself ? "
"Cert. We start her up at G in , the
morning , and she runs till G in the
evening. This mill's been weaned ,
stranger ; she don't need a nurse.
While I'm getting in hay she puts half
a ton of paper on the roll. Gee up ,
Bess ! " Paper Trade Journal.
Table Talk.
j Rather curiously Roxane in "Cyrano
| de Bergerac" belongs to the modern
type which dates from the days of
the Hotel do Rambouillet and has al
ways had its votaries in France. To
those precieuses mere conversation
was une betise. They liked declama
tions ; discussion , not on the right of
woman to the ballot , but whether she
should be held a little higher than the
angels or consent to be beloved. This
phase of preciosity led up to the
French salon , where that hothouse
fashion of preparing an intellectual bill
of fare for guests found its most ac
ceptable phase.
Mme. Canipan , whose advice may be
said to have formed a whole genera
tion of charming women , used to pre
scribe the subject of talk for dinner
tables , just as" certain coteries of wo
men prescribe it loday. This was her
system : "With 12 at table , talk voyage ;
and literature ; with eight , the fine arts ,
science , invention ; with six , politics or
philosophy ; with four , sentiment , ro
mantic adventure ; with two , talk of
yourself ; egoism belongs to the tete-a-
tete. " Ellen Oluey Kirk in Lippin-
cott's.

The London Daily Mail says if an
aerial machine were capable of travel
ing at any rate up to 1,000 miles an
hour a traveler in it , starting westward
from London at a speed of GGO miles
an hour , would arrest the progress of
time. If ho started at 10 a. m. , it
would always be to him 10 a. m.
Should he find his unending day mo
notonous , he could reverse his direc
tion and get a quick succession of
short days and nights of some six
hours' duration , but he could regulate
the length by the speed of his ma
chine. Suppose he traveled from Lon
don one night at 10 o'clock westward
at a speed of 1,000 miles per hour. He
would soon experience the sensation
of seeing the sun rising in the west
where it had set a short time before.
