County Judge Eldred was over in
the Danbury Lebanon country first of
the week and reports conditions most
attractive and encouraging for Republi
can success in November The ticket is
generally satisfactory to tho people

this section than cMin Hasty the Re

An amusing county contemporary last
week in roasting the Nebraska public
school system and at the same time mak
ing a plea forreadin writin and rith
metic was guilty of atrociously mis
spelling nine words in an article in an
adjoining column not to speak of the
lapses of veracity etc the article con
tained
It has been the history of all nations
that in time of great prosperity there is
always more or less contention between
capital and labor The present coal
strike was not precipitated on account
of political conditions and no amount of
fallacious argument on the part of Dem
ocratic orators can make the public be
lieve it Better have splendid prosperity
with strikes than years of hunger and
destitution under Democratic rule
The fight that is being made on J H
Mickey because he is a temperance man
is more to his credit than against him
When the time comes that a man in
order to be qualified for tho office of
governor of a great state like Nebraska
has to be a saloon habitue and beer guz
zler it is time for the millenium The
sober intelligent and law abiding people
of Nebraska will rise up enmasse on the
fourth da of next November and elect
J H Mickey governor for the very rea
son that ho is temperate and respecta

It is stated by an authority who has
given some attention to the question of
the post check currency that if business
men and business organizations urge the
passage of legislation to provide it the
action of congress can bo secured at the
next session That being the case there
should bo a general call for that action
Tho post check currency means simply
the printing of circulating notes in such
form that the holder endorsing a note in
his possession can convert it into a draft
payable only to the person named in the
endorsement This will do away with
the loss of time annoyance and expense
of a journey to secure a money order
every time that the sending of a small
remittance is necessary The saving to
the public will immensely outweigh the
slight increase in cost to the government
and tho loss of revenues from money
orders There should be a strong rep
resentation to congress in favor of the
bill Dispatch Pittsburg Pa

Just a Slight Correction
The Tribune learns that our old
friend Sidney Dodge tho fusion nominee
for county attorney is trying to make
some campaign thunder in his own be
half by circulating that he was respon
sible for placing the warrants of Red
willow county at par thus securing a
large saving to the people of the coun
ty all of which would be very interest
ing and creditable to our friend Sidney
if it were a fact But unfortunately the
fact is lacking and tho claim ridiculous
If we remember aright Sidney Dodge
was not chosen county attorney until
1891 and the records show that no
county warrants were registered after
June 1887 and that the last registered
county warrant was paid in October 1887
or more than four years before Sidney
flashed across the politicad heavens of
Redwillow county as prosecuting attor
ney and financial agent
It will bo found to be a fact however
that from and after the date of the
funding of the floating indebtedness of
Redwillow county the warrants of the
county have been at par and that Sid
ney Dodge had nothing to do with mak
ing them at par
We do not refer to this because there
is anything new in the information given
but just to correct any false impressions
that may have come to any who are not
posted about the matter
If Sidney Dodge ever saved Redwillow
county a cent it was because of what he
did not do as the record of his occu
pancy of that office will prove absolute
ly And The Tribune is willing to
credit him with doing practically nothing
but draw his salary He might have
done worse
The free trade Democrat says smash
the trusts by taking off the tariff
That means besides the destruction of
American industries that the trusts of
Europe would swarm into this country
Are there trusts in Europe Just a few
In Germany syndicates have increased
since 1870 until they cover practically the
entire field of industrial activity In
France although there is a law against
them they control furniture groceries
coal borax candles matches pig iron
rice cheese silk spinning sugar refin
ing sulphur tiles tobacco and trans
portation bj land In Belgium they
control coal coke glass stone mirrors
and sugar refining In Norway wood
pulp paper and lumber In England it
is difficult to say what they do not con
trol It is similar to Germany every
thing is under the trust Dont talk to
a Republican about taking the tariff
wall down for any purpose please We
had it down in 1893 and 1895 and the
ferocious foreign pigs rooted up Uncle
Sams garden entirely
Evidence is accumulating with para
lyzing rapidity to prove that there is no
darker blot or more humiliating stain on
America and our republican form of gov
ernment than the foul boodling in our
cities Few of the larger cities escape
the curse
