Even a spider's web throws a t tadow. Main street looked like an .. Jtomobile paratle Saturday. An overdrawn argument usu ally covers a nigger in the wood pile, ________ Itock beer signs and garden t-eeds are in the show windows, Spring is here. The new coins will have the date and head on the same side. This is a severe blow to the I eads or tails crowd. E\ - Congressman Pollard is out with a long interview giving reasons why he deserted the in surgents and voted with Speaker < annon on the rules. Something should he dune about the city water at once. Find out what is wrong and ap ply the remedy without delay lor the present condition is in tolerable. Mr. Bryan states that he is not an “out and out candidate lor president, “ to which the pa ragrapher replies that he is right being only a "flown and out” candidate, 1 he Tribune is in receipt of many congratulatory letters on the historical articles we are running. Among the letters re ceived is one from I mted Slates Judge Monger and another from Supreme Judge Letton. The in terest in these articles is very gratifying to us, and especially die fact that they are being read in many schools of the county. What do you know about that democratic meeting held to force ^ lark and Katouc into lint1 with Bryan * assinine position on tin' Harnegie pension. How many attended this mass meeting where was it held and who called it? If rumor is correct there were but eight in attend ance. A democratic mass meet ing is about as big a joke as one would care to laugli over. Although the Lind session of the 00th congress was a short one, the congressional record shows that Senator Burkett has employed the time well. Head dressed the* senate on dd differ cnt occasions,introduced 17 hills and joint resolutions, offered It amendments to proposed legis lation. made si\ committee re ports, presented Ido petitions! anil papers, offered four motions and resolutions, and did not miss a vote during the entire session. Before the committee having control of the t aruegie pension bill ]Vlr. Bryan was talking ve hemently against the bill. Prof. Caldwell ol the state university had nettled the peerless one with some very pointed ques tions. ”1 do not care it not a proles sor in the I’niversity will speak to me," said Bryan, "I will al ways do what l think is right." "1 have a petition here,” tiin idly broke in a meek old lady, “which has -15,000 names peti tioning the legislature to give us state wide prohibition and we would so like to have you sign It” “1 never petition for or dis cuss anything not covered by my platform,” replied the one who never fears to “do what is right. ” But they do say the silence of the room was tangible enough to be felt. WHAT HAVE THEY DONE? In Friday’s State Journal Col. Bixbee has the following to say in the Daily Drift column “An old friend of Richardson county writes to know what tins j legislature has accomplished for j the good of Nebraska? It is a I hard question to answer this i early in the session. I'p to the present moment very little has been done except the introduc tion of almost as many bill- as Were ever introduced in the same length of time by a previous leg islature. It has reinstated the | saloons at Fort Crook -o that I tin* soldier boys stationed there [can get drunk without making j a trip to South Omaha, and that I is going some. It. has made ample provisions for paying the expenses of the present session, and has blocked all measures looking toward the regulation of stock yards p r i c e s t o t. Ii e downtrodden shipper. It is seek ing to make the revenue law of the state a little worse instead of a little belter, and will prob ably succeed in tying the hands of the railroad commission so that nothing can be clone in the way ol “regulation” for at least two years and a half. It has listened to oratory, and lias or ated itself into the What do you. Hunk ol me as a states in a n ? class. What do you expect for the price, anyway?” And speakingj.ot platforms for economy how much reliance can be put in our local democra tic brethren. Wasn’t something said in the county platform about doing away with primary elections (Jerdes, Clark and Katouc ail voted in tavor of primaries. Still the “mass meeting’' congratulates (ierdes on his fidelity to platform prom ises. Do you remember what the local democratic platform prom ised about"tne obnoxious high school law, how it was to be re pealed hands down. Well, these great promisors have not re pealed it and every democratic legislator Irom this county is working against the repeal. Why not have another mass meeting. Wasn’t there something said during the late campaign about the republican legislature of two years ago squandering moneyV Were there not promises galore as to what our democratic breth ren would do in the way of econ omy ? Well, the democratic leg islature is about two thirds over and the appropriations already exceed the last legislature by one and one quarter million dol lars. The two cent passenger law in Missouri was knocked out by 1'. S. Judge McPherson, on Monday. He held the law un constitutional because the rail roads could not pay expenses. Nebraska will probably In- next. Did you notice the two little boys who shoveled the snow oil the court house walk Fuesday r They earned their money all right, and everyone*had time to stop in the bliz.-.ard to -ay a cheery word to them. It doesn't seem to take much to make a democratic “mass meeting.“ Clark and Katouc seem to be on the comes of Hon. Henry Cerdis. A number of eastern people are trying to live as Jesus did. A number of western people are living like the devil without any effort. The Missouri 1’ac‘nc is bu 'd ing shops in Atchison at a cost of a half million dollars. Ned Towle is saying nothing. You may not have noticed th< Change, but Bill Taft has beer sleeping in the white house for a week. __ While answering the other question, why not tell us where to get a competent city clerk. —•1 The present proposition -- to be to submit the >aloon uues tion direct. THE CARNEGIE PENSION Ninety per cent of tiie voters of Uichardsmi t'ounty endorse the po-ilion oi Messrs, (iark and Katouc on the I .trnecie pen sion fund. This fund is merely a sum set apart by Andrew Carnegie to pay a pension to worn out teach ers when their po wers are spent. These professors, next to clergy men, an tiie poorest pa id of an v class of our citizen-. Theirs is the burden of preparing the youth for the work "i the world, and this burden is often so ere at and the salary - > meaner that old a ire finds them without funds or property to provide the ne Cess.iries of life. To meet such condition this fund has been provided. The otter was accepted by Minnesota and the bill was signed by Governor Johnson, aj democrat, who seems about to I assume national leadership in Ins party. In fact in no state outside of Nebraska has the of ler been seriously opposed. But now comes Mr. Bryan, who says to tl»- legislature, "you must not accept llii-> fund. Mr. Carnegie i- a plutocrat, an enemy of the people, he voted against me, the frit nd-ol the people.' and other similar rot. Not so many years ago Car negie gave the city of Lincoln a $7h,000 library and immediately Mr. Bryan publisned a picture of himself and Carnegie and re fated in detail how it was through his efforts that the gift was secured. That was when Mr. Bryan was seeking politi cal strengtli with the people of Lincoln. But now those of our teachers who journey down the sunset road must be deprived of this pension because, forsooth, Mr. Bryan says so, because Carnegie is not the friend of the people and, ‘‘did not vote for me." In spite of Bryan's protest there were but * votes against this bill in the senate, what tl - house will finally do remains I be seen. Self-Knowledge. The last of a long line of recurring plumbers stood at the pumpless w*.‘l of a suburban residence. "This well has been badly tinker <<t with,” he announced, as others had done before him. "Half the pumping apparatus seems to be gone, is then'* a sucker anywhere about the place/” "Oh, yes,” replied the chasten •« o "here I atn ” At My Place on the Fast Side of Preston, Neb., on .1 q © Sale to Commence at 12 o’clock, the Following: || Coming 3 and * Years Old i pair Black Percherons coming 3 years old a mare and a horse weight, 2,600 pounds.
