GOOB Editor sad Publisher Official Psper of Cherry Coun ty Nebraska jjplOG Jer Year in Advance m m I Mli Mf PUBLISHED EVERY THURSDAY Entered at the Post office at ValeHtine Cherry -county Nebraska as Second class matter This paper will be mailed regularly to its -subscribers until a definite order to discontinue is received and all ar rears are paid in full Advertising rates 50 cents per inch per month Hates per column or for long time ads made known on to this office According to populist doctrine as it is exemplified by Eeinert a man to be 41 good partisan must change his views on public questions as soon as one of the opposition agrees with him This 5paper was always in opposition to the amendment recount and because The Republican agrees with it it does not propose to change base Had the er newspaper men opposed the court house bonds Beinert and the goose very fortunate foi the party that all populists are not of his stripe What good is a consarned thief any way A few more shining examples like the one in question the killing of Frank Cole and a mans hard earnings will be perfectly safe to hang or tie in the stable over night without using him the trouble of sitting up and watching it with a Winchester If Bro Berkley or any one else contem plates rustling saddles on this side of the bloody waters of the Niobrara our tumble advice to them is to keep their weather eye to the north leave no trail and travel more than sixty miles on the first day To young bloods who have a tendency to pose as -toughs this mayound jokey but put into practice it might prove more serious than picturesque Springview Herald Democrats will note with a degree of satisfaction almost akin to elation that the Dingley bill puts a tax of 144 per pound on tea and adds 48 cents per barrel to the internal reve nue tax on beer These tariffs are purely for revenue not a pound of tea being produced in this country and beer what is used here being strictly a borne product But that which elates us most is the fact that the levy ing of these taxes by the f ramers of the new tariff Mil is a direct admission that a protective tariff cannot be a rev enue tariff This move of our repub lican friends places them in line with democratic teachings and we congrat ulate them upon their conversion If they will now put wool and hides and other raw material on the free list of their tariff bill their conversion will al most be complete One of the richest things which has occurred during the present extraordi nary session of congress occurred Mon day when Congressman Bailey made the republicans take water The house had tinder consideration a bill appro priating 50000 for the relief of Amer ican citizens in Cuba and unanimous consent was asked for its passage The Texan arose and said he would of fer no objection if he was allowed to offer an amendment This was object ed to by the republicans and amid the confusion which followed the house adjourned until Thursday The amendment Bailey wished to offer was one in favor of recognizing the Cubans as belligerents and the fire eaters who last fall were so anxious that we go to Caba and lick the socks offn Spain the patriotic oratorg who were so loud in denunciation of President Cleveland because he wouldnt at once declare war didnot cre face that innocent little amendment and go on record with their votes Oh the manliness of it The honesty of their action How dif ferent the meaning of patriotism when tfcftBWiSPratlon changed AN OBJECT LESSO tt - C N CLIPPWQS AND COMMENT Those newspaper boys living off this line of road can secure transportation on advertising contracts if they wish to attend the meeting here on June 5 Write J R Buchanan G P A at Omaha The printers ot the northwestern part of Nebraska are called to convene at Valentine June 5 to perfect an or ganization in the interest of printers We will liKely attend if nothing pre vents Norden JBorealis Dont let anything prevent you Col Brewster because this is going to be a splendid meeting The editors of the Sixth congression al district will meet in Valentine on Saturday June 5 We are going be cause Bob Good is treasurer and it wont cost a cent- Atkinson Graphic Thats good Col Jenness and good ness gracious what a good time -Good and his good brethren of the press in Valentine will show you The Tribune acknowledges the re ceipt of an invitation from the editor ial fraternity of Valentine to attend a meeting of the pencil pushers of North west Nebraska which we gladly accept fcnowing such meetings are beneficial to not only the attendants but to the people they represent Such meetings give information whereby editors may pen ideas furthering the interests of berry would very likely have been an their communities -to a great extent- earnest advocate of thn issue Tfc is t ayamas xrioune Bight you are Col Lounsbury and the sentiments expressed have secured for you a nice little place on the pro gram of the coming meeting t The association should appoint a committee to draft some kind of legis lative measure for protection and in duce every paper in the state to run it as standing matter in the editorirl col umn When the time comes for again placing in nomination candidates for the legislature let all papers drop par tisanship on the one office and unite in supporting only thecandidates pledged to enact into law such measures as the press may demand Alliance Grip The suggestion is excellent and we will be very sorrv if Col Broome is not present to advocate his idea in person The press united should be able to se cure any and all legislation it desires and the people at large can rest assured that the press will ask for nothing un just or unreasonable Once more this paper feels con strained to call attention to the laxity with which our divorce laws are en forced or rather the freedom with which they are broken or disobeyed Last fall we called attention to a case where a couple were married about two weeks afterone of the parties had ob tained a divorce the law being evaded by having the ceremony performed in an adjoining state More recently a marriage occurred where one of the parties had been divorced less than six months without the more or less ex pensive formality of leaving the state being indulged in The parties simply swore to the customary affidavit that no impediment existed to their mar riage thus adding perjury to the other crime The Democrat does not wish to be quoted as being in opposition to remarriage after a divorce has been obtained but it does most strenuously object to having the state laws broKen with such impunity Divorce and marriage are serious things and should not be treated lightly Laws are made to be obeyed but the divorce law bids fair to become as dead a letter as the law which forbids treating The pre sent session of congress is the thirteenth extraordinary session called by a president since the estab lishment of the Union And the Cuban policy of this administration was announced on May 13 And the senate finance committee which had charge of the Dingley tariff bill is composed of thirteen members And the administration is in a hard row of stumps anyhow Omaha has secured the Indian sup ply depot which was formerly located at Chicago and the entire west will join in congratulating the metropolis of Nebraska in securing the supply
