The telephone question is not n matter of personality , neither in it to be settled by disserta tions on motives. The question IK one of righter or wrong and should be settled dispassionately and with but one end in view , vithe ; good of the town. The Falls City News lias seen lit to decline the issue by attemp- ing to confuse the proposition with personalties and accusa tions of the political graft. The motives of those who favor the admission of the rural com panies are impujined by in nuendoes. Conduct of thi-i character tends to engender bitterness but throws no light on the-question of right or wrong. The News claims to be thu op ponent ot town rows , slili no citi/.en can hold view on any question contrary to the posi tion assumed by the News and be free from the attacks of that paper. The News should be as fair as its opponents ; it should credit the advocates ol mutual com panies with the same sincerely in lighting for Ihe farmers as Ihe News is credited wilh in lighting against them. Thu Tribune so far has seen nothing suggestive of political graft in the methods of the ad vocates of mutual companies ; ' nothing has been attempted , so lar as we can discover , that tends to prostitute the purpose of the commercial club to pri vate ends. There has been nothing unfair in Ihe attempts of the farmers muluals. There seems no reason for the intem perate statements of the News If one of those who favor the mutual companies had been Secretary of the Commercial club and had been instructed by the unanimous vote of the club to notify the Falls City company and Farmers mutual companies to appear at the next meeting of the club and state their cases , and such Secretary had remembered to notify those companies which he fav6red ami forgot to notify those com panies which he opposed , there might be some ground to com plain of motives and unfairness. But nothing of thai kind was done. A full and fair hearing is all lhal is desired by the mutual companies. Is it not possibe to grant this withou accusations from the News o impure motives and polilica graft ? If the majority of the citizens of this city desire to encourage a friendly feeling between the town and the subscribers to the mutual companies by granting them admission , that shoulc settle the question and ther need be neilher slrife nor furlh j i | Is Now Going * on at F.

Judge Paul Jussen. Judge Paul Jussen of Nebraska City has been appointed territori al judge for Arizona to fill the vacancy created bj the resigna tion of K. A. Tucker. There is inori : in this than the honor con ferred on Judge Jussen. The ap pointment is pregnant with hope for those who have battled for a condition within the party. Five years ago Judge Jussen could not have aspired to an appointi\ ofiice. Five years ago appoint ments were given onlto those who were the collar of the ma chine and who by their deeds acknowledged themselves to be somebody's man. " Judge Jus- sen "is his own master. For years he has fought in every state and district convention on the side which favored independence and integrity in politics. With this element he has been the leader. That such a man should be given the appointment just tendered proves that the independent ele ment is at last a force that de serves recognition , and that the question will no more be asked in Nebraska "I am Tom Tinker's dog , whose dog are you ? " There will be no investigation of the administration of Judge Jussen. . See the Portable Cribbing , all oak ami guaranteed to stand. For sale by the * Chicago Lumbei &Coal Co. We are informed by one of the democratic members of the horse thief association that the annual parade will be held on the Sat urday before election. The line of march will probably be up Stone street and east by the News office. Tlieciy of third term , machine politics ami other wails of despairing democracy dies in the distance. This is a republican year in a republican county under republican conditions and the re publican voters are not going to be fooled into electing the oppo sition candidates. It is a great convenience to the Cierman tax-payers of this county to have some one in the county oflices who speaks their lan guage. Jake Tanner is a german - man and speaks the language lluently. He k a member of the German sociatiesof this city and will doubtless receive a ver\ large \ote fiom his countrymen. In addition to this , he in one of the most accomplished and accomo- dating voting men in the county and will prove very acceptable to the citizens as county treasurer. A vote for Tanner is aote for clean politics and acknowledged merit. "Do you think a pass would in fluence meV" asked a prominent oflicial last week. We don't know but we do know that if the rail roads did not think so it wouldn't give the pass. Railroads are not the most generous corporations. They give transposition only to those who have something to give the railroads , If they thought the transportation so given would produce no results the gifts would be witheld. If that oflicial will convince the railroad that he is above the in fluence of the pass he will be paying fare in a very short time. The News seems displeased with the action of Bill McCray in insisting t hat the ballots be printed by the local newspapers at a price that will grant no profit. Kill , in the rag time lan guage of Artemus Ward , is an "Amuzing Kus. " Bill's motion was prepared and introduced at the request of Johnny Martin of the Journal. The Journal has always received higher prices for printing the ballots than any other newspaper in the county. It printed the special election ballots that were about as large as a hand bill and received $40 for the job , There is not a print ing office in the county that would not have welcomed the job at $25 , but Bill and Johnny thought $40 the right figure and $40 it was. The Journal knew that it was not its turn to print the ballots this fall so Johnny and Bill contrived to introduce a motion that means just this , if the Journal doesn't get the job , the rellow who does will lose money on it. The Journal has pursued a dog in the manger policy so that its latest move : lees not surprise anybody. In politics it has ahvavs acted on the theory that all offices should go to the Martins , and if by any chance one of them failed of nom ination , then to beat the success ful candidate and do it purely from patriotic and phihintrophic motives. It is the same wav with the printing , it all belongs to the Journal , the other fellow has no right to expect it and if he happens to secure it then the penalty for beating the Journal must follow. Bill is the fcllo\\ that is used to accomplish this purpose and the News should not be heard to complain. But Bil as a supervisor is of a few days and full of trouble.

Porter Stringlield is gaining strength every day. The better le becomes known the larger will > e the vote he receives. Mr. Stringfield is without reproach is a candidate. His ability is unquestioned and his services to the county will measure up to every requirement. Judge Wilhite is acknowledged by all men regardless of p arty to be the best county judge the county has ever had. His re cords are models and the respon sible duties of his office have been idministcred by him in the most careful and exacting manner. When such an oflicial seeks re election it becomes the duty of the property owners of the coun ty to see that he does not fail. A few weeks since The Trib une published an inconsequential little squib concerning a Falls City girl , her shirt waist and what the boys called it. The next week it was published without credit in the Hiawatha World and last week was copied by the News giving the World credit. Thus do we prove the old adage , "If you want to read it and read it first , try taking The Tribune. " Salem. UIMI Mohli'.x left rinit-daj for Alma Fred bUiock vMtfd in l-'ulU Citj on Sundiu \V 1) .
