' ; BAXTER.
The appointment of Judge Bax-
. ter of Omaha , to succeed W. S.
Summers as United States district
attorney , came as a surprise to
the republicans of Nebraska. It
fl , took some time for the wisdom
of the choice to become fully ap-
paren t. The adherents of both
Summers and Gurley : had done
1 good , hard work on be half of their
I favorites , and each were confident
. ' , ! that they had a fair show of suc-
t cess. The appointment of a
I
: "dark horse" was not seriously
i1 considered as a probability. A
< 1 I contest of the sort that was be-
: ing waged for Summers place ,
had engendered considerable
.
r strife in the party. The appoint-
.
ment of either Summers orGurley
. meant simply a widening of the
breach and there was but one
source for the administration to
pursue and that was to affect a
compromise. This course has
. been followed and judge Baxter
appointed. This does not mean
that either Lindsay or Gurley
have been turned down" by the
party. The work that Lindsay
has done is duly appreciated .nd
he will be taken care of probably
receiving in due time an appoint-
ment as clerk of the supreme
court. Gurley is a faithful worker -
er in the party and his reward
win probably be a seat in con-
-
- g-ress. The appointment of
Judge Baxter was simply a piece
of political diplomacy , which will
not be without a good effect. The
= - fact that Judge Baxter is a clean
and able man will go a long way
in preserving the party integrity.
! Had the compromise been affected -
fected'on a weak man simply be-
cause he was available , the result
might have been different. .As it
is , all is well that ends well.
RETRIBUTION.
Nothing in this life is more
certain than retribution. It is
the relentless detective that fol-
lows ever on our tracks , finding
new clues in every sin that we
S

r

commit and new evidence against
us in every wrong act that we do.
Have you wronged another ?
lIave you lied about him and
filched from him his good name ?
lIave you found delight in the
tears and heartaches that you
have brought to him and his
family ? Very well. Conscience
which you suppose to have been
bribed and silenced , has set its
detective , Retribution , to work
on the case , and he is following
you , drawing nearer step by step
and some day , some place , he will
over take you. The banquet hall
may be lighted , and you may eat ,
drink and make merry , and find
solace in self-praise , but in the
midst of it all there will come a
] knock at the door , and when you
open it you will find yourself
face to face with Retribution.
Then your bribes and your hypocrisy -
pocrisy and your lies will avail
yott nothing The laws of nature
and of nature's God will exact the
penalty. Stripped of sham and
deceit , you will be held up before
the world in all your hideous
moral nakedness. Your sin will
have found you out. The : stones
which you have thrown so ruth-
lessly , have shattered the glass
house in which you dwell. And
above the crash of its falling
walls , and your groans and cries
shall ring the words of the-Naza-
rene , "Let him who is without
sin , cast the first stone ! " But in
this terrible hour blame none but
yourself. Our human courts hold
that ignorance of the law excuses
no one , and the same holds true
in the courts of moral and spiritual -
ual justice.
HATE
We were talking to a man the
other day and in the course of the
conversation a certain 1\r. A-
was reierred to. The man to
whom we were talking said , "Oh
I have no use for Mr. A. I hate
him very cordially. " "Why , It we
asked , "do you hate 1\'lr. A ? Has
he ever wronged you in any way ? "
"Oh , no " was the reply , " he
never wronged me personally but
you see he is a friend of : Mr. B.
and I believe Mr. B to be a scoun-
dra1 therefore , I have no use for
Mr. A. " The man to whom we
.ere.talking is a merchant , doing
business with the general public
and a daily bidder for patronage.
He prides himself on his business
acumen , and therefore his position
in this instance appeared some-
what peculiar. Mr. A and his
large family spend considerable
money in a year and there is no
reason , all things being equal ,
why this merchant should not
get his share of it. But : Mr. A
knows that the merchant hates
him , and that without reason , and
of course neither he , nor any
. member of his family ever enter
this merchants place of business.

1\1r. A also has many friends and
they resent this treatment of him
to the extent of passing to an-
other store. There is no telling
how many dollars this merchant
has lost for hating A , simply be-
cause he is a friend of B.
It never pays to hate anybody.
Laying aside sentimentalities and
getting down to the ethical foun-
dation of man's relation to man ,
it becomes more and more appar-
ent that hatred never pays.
Least of all can the man of busi-
ness afford.to hate. The fire of
hate will not consume your ene-
my but it will draw the warmth
away from friends It is bad
enough to hate for personal reas-
ons , but to hate because some
friend asks you to is foolishness.
He is not a friend who asks you
to do this. He is an unprincipled
schemer who would punish his
enemies at your expense , morally
and financially. The merchant
to whom we were talking can't
see this. He will probably go
right on hating A for being a
friend of B and at the same time
wonder why his trade does not
expand and why some people con-
tinue to pass his store but never
en ter.
Since the recent county con-
vention many republicans from
all over the county have called at
The Tribune office. These men ,
regardless of any faction to which
they may have previously belonged -
ed , express lively satisfaction in
the apparently bright future of
republicanism jn this : county.
They realize that the party trait-
ors have been convicted and put
to death , politically speaking and
that it has been a good riddance
of bad rubbish. These men , representatives -
resentatives republicans as they
are do not hesitate to express
their gratification at the good
work done by the convention.
They are especially enthusiastic
over the county tick t. They
have only good words in' behalf
of Messrs. Morrow , Smith , Grin-
stead and IIogr fe. The future
ahead of the party and its county
ticket is certainly very bright.
The New York democracy has
declared Judge Parker to be its
presidential choice. The New
York Journal has its largest circulation -
culation of course in New York ,
and Willie Hearst is its editor
If Hearst cannot go into the
national convention with his own
delegation he may as well stay
dot home. Mr. Bryan does not
like Judge Parker and Mr. Bryan
expects to be in the convention.
So you see the democracy is not
yet reorganized.
When men pass along Stone
street and hear the exhaust of a
of a certain gasoline engine , they
pause to ask each other who the
circular is about this time.

The government is urging the
people who live along the Platte ,
the Arkansaw and other western .
rivers , to fill their irrigating
reservoirs at once , as the light . A
snow in the mountains will render
del' the future supply uncertain.
If this condition exists , we need
not look for excessive floods this . . . . -
spring. vVe hope that the government - -J
ernment authorities know what
they are talking about.

A fairly large diamond can be
bought for one hundred doll rs.
An imitation diamond of the
same size can be bought for about
two dollars. Will you admit to
the assessor that your diamond is .
the real thing or swallow your
pride and give it in as an incitation -
tion ?
The Burkett senatorial boom is
getting to be a bigger thing every
day' l. By the time the state con-
vention meets , it will be irresist-
able.
Every time the people look at
our nice smooth streets they feel _
like calling a mass meeting to ex- '
tend a vote of thanks to D. Ward
King.
lvlany people have been recently -
ly set to wondering what a foot-
ball has to do with easter.
