REVENGE
A. T-4. Bixby , the philosopher
the Nebraska State Journal asked
his readers this question : After
you have obtained revenge , how
much better do you eel ? " It is
a very pertinent question and one
that few , if any of us , have ever
' asked oursel vrs.
Perhaps at times when you had
.
. claimed your revenge and were
fired with the first thrill of exultation -
tation ; when you had demanded
.and received of your enemy an
# i eye for an eye , or a tooth for a
i tooth you have cried aloud , "Af-
l
ter you have obtained revenge ,
i how much better do you feell"- !
hut you have ended the expression
with an exclamation point. But
after the first sense of gratification -
tion has passed away , and your
enemies tears no longer fall and
his sighs are hushed ; after every
thing has been said and clone ,
have you exclaimed , "After you
have obtained revenge , how much
better do you feel ? " and ended it
with an interrogation point , and
made it a pertinent and searching
question unto yourself ? The next
time that you have obtained revenge -
venge , ask yourself this question
I and you will be surprised at the
answer you will receive
How much better do you feel ?
Has it brought you that peace
that nothing else could have
. brought ? Has the game be\11 !
worth the candle ? If you are
uf ; ! honest with yourself ; if you have
r - asked these things of your con-
science in the spirit of one who
I .
honestly seeks information , the
answer must always be a nega-
tive. Your conscience ! : will re-
mind you of all the evil thoughts
r of all the unreasoning hatred , of
aU the hours wasted in the malicious -
licious planning of evil of all
your contemptible plotting , and
your conscience will upbraid you
and when conscience calls any
man to account , how much better
does he feel ? Does an outraged
conscience all.w in any case a
peaceful ! mind ? There arc those
r. . w ,
who hold that hell is but eternal
accusation on the part of con-
science. Is there any peace of
mind in hell ? When the cards
have an been played and you
have robbed your victim of his
all , was the stake of tears and
the wager of sighs worth the
time and the candle ? Were it.I I
gold you had won it might buy
you momentary joy and fleeting
pleasure , but what can you buy
with another's tears ? As you
turn from the table over which
the tcar-stained cards arc scattered -
ed , and go back to your life work
how much better do you feel ?
EATING DOGS.
Considerable furor has been
raised because the savage Igor-
rotes who have been transported
from their native wilds to St.
Louis for exposition purposes , in-
'sist on having dog meat served as
rations. The effete civilization
of St. Louis stands aghast at the
thought of human beings regal-
ing themselves on canine flesh.
But after an it is only a matter
of taste. The Igorrote stomach
probably craves dog - sneat in much
the same manner as the civilized
stomach craves beef or mutton or
pork , and why should not that
appetite be gratified ? The hu-
mane organizations threaten to
interfere , but unless it is proposed
to subject the dogs to torture , the
interference is unwarranted. The
killing of dogs for food would be
no more brutal than the slaughter -
ter of sheep and steers and hogs
as it takes place in our big pack-
ing houses every day The sheep
is the symbol of innocence , but
the humane organizations do not
seek to interfere every time a
lamb is led to the slaughte-r.
This . is because civilized man
likes his lamb chops. The colored -
ed man delights in eating the
flesh of the fatted opossum , while
but few white men care to par-
take thereof , yet there is no par-
ticular objection to the son of
Ham pursuing , killing and devouring -
vouring the opossum if he so de-
sircs. If a civilized man should
decide to have Fide served for his
Sunday dinner and should he kill
thc beast as humanely as he
would kill the fatted calf , his
neighbors might question his
taste , but they would hardly
question his right so to do.
'Vithout ' snaking much fuss
about it , Fall City is going to
do considerable growing this
summer.
\"hen two things happen , , the
republicans in this neck of the
woods will feel mighty good.
These two things arethe appoint-
ment . of Harry Lindsay to
clerk of the supreme court , and
the selection of C. B. Dempster to
be delegate-at-Iarge to the national -
al COI1\'cn tion.

A man is more liable to suffer
for the truth than a liar is for
his lies.
Assessor Jorn demands that the
motto of each deputy assessor
shan be "Equa1ity before the
new revenue law. "
Just now the paramount ques-
tion is not , who will be the next
president of the United States , or
the next United States senator
from Nebraska but who win be
the next chief of police of 'Fa 11s
City ?
The senatorial convention will
be held at Pawnee City tomor-
row. The convention will endorse
Hon. E. A. trucker for state sel ; -
ator and then , . . adjourn. \Ir.
Tuckers election will be practi-
cany assured from the start and
as a sequence this district will be
assured of thc most able of representation -
resentation in the upper house of
the next legislature.
When it came to appointing a
successor to Judge Baxter the
newly made district attorney Gov-
ernor Mickey took the reins in
his own hands and named Ed-
mund M. Bartlett to fill the va-
cant district judgeship.tfhe
appointment is conceded by host
everyone to be a good one , and it
is also generally understood that
the prompt action on the part of
the governor prevented a lively
factional scrap over the pum. ]
The Journal has again attacked
C. F. Reavis , this time charging
him with having fought Falloon
during the recent city election.
The inference is that he supported -
ed the prohibition candidate It
has only been a short time since
these same people were sending
out circulars denouncing Reavis
aR a drunkard. The various edi-
tors of that misguided periodical
should get together and compare
systems. The Tribune has no
reason to believe that l\'lr. Rcavis
.
fought Falloon , but he had a per-
fcct right so to do if he desired.
.Mr. Rcavis was not even present
at the citizen convention and / I
having taken 110 part therein was
not bound to support the ticket.
Furthermore on the day that the
city election was held 1\11' Reavis
went to Omaha to argue a case ;
and probably took no part in the
election further than to cast his
ballot. But there is a standing
f
rule in the Journal office that
when copy runs short the editor
. . . . . .
nearest the desk shall grab a pen ' ! f'
and roast Reavis.
Unless the unexpected happens
the entire republican county ticket -
et will be elected this fall We
have heard democrats comment
on the strength of the ticket and
have heard them freely admit
that it is a hard combination to
b at.trhis is not saying that
they wi11 not make
an attempt to p
beat it but it will not be as ener-
getic and as enthusiastic an attempt -
tempt as it would have been had
the republicans nominated any-
body else but Smith , Griustead , .
Hogrefe and Morrow. -
