Congress adjourned on the 18th
last Saturday until -the first of next
moath
Although it is almost a year yet un
til the next election we have heard of
half a dozen candidates for county
legislative and congressional places
There isnt much being said about
tbo alleged shortage of G000 in the
accounts of J H Mallalieu ex super
intendent of the state reform school at
Koarney It is presumed that a Neb
raska state oificial who cant get away
with 25000 to 100000 of the public
funds during his oQicial career is not
worthy of newspaper mention Por
tion Journal
The editor of the Gordon Journal is
taking a two weeks vacation and in
the meanwhile his two sons are run
ning the paper and we must confess
that the sheet gives no evidence ol
-deterioration under their youthful
management If we were not afraid
of shocking some of our readers we
-might give expression to the wish that
we had a couple of sons with whom
we might leave the paper when we
took a lavoff
Hon Samuel Maxwell the venera
able judge from Nebraska and who
Represents the 3rd District says that
during Ms vacation e was very busi
ly engaged in some legal matters aod
had but little time to go through the
country llo is of the opinion how
ever that times in his state are grad
ually improving Judge Maxwell is in
excellent health and will be heard
from later on in the session -He is
one of the ablest men in the 55th Con
gress News Letter
Some two months ago we received a
proposition from a firm in Omaha
known as The American Business
College ofQmaha but not as we
supposed the Omaha Business College
which is a sound institution This
confused a great mauy editors jn jSeb
craaka and misery likes company so
wo are not alone Well to return to
our story we accepted the proposition
as it seemed to bo a fair one and be
gan the advertising Our readers
no doubt have noticed it in our col
umns and if any have bit they hold
no edge over us Last week the
founder of this institution was arrested
by Uncle Sam for carrying on a
fraudulent business through the mails
The government now has the gentle
man Vanderberg by name in tow
and will endeavor to land him where
he belongs nis Tribune
There is no necessity for georgie to
use up a lot of his valuable space
to give his few readers our political
hiBtory or record Everybody can
learn it right at home This is the
first town in which we ever ran a
newspaper and we were never actively
engaged in but one campaign before
coming here and our efforts were at
that time put forth in behalf of a
democratic candidate for the legisla
ture in the 50tb district composed of
the counties of Rock and Brown
The candidate was J A Fike the
time was the fall of 1892 the scpne
was Longpine and we were working
on a republican paper at the time
We are thus minute because this fact
will destroy his carefully constructed
Story that we had always been a re
publican prior to coming to Valentine
The letter which he published some
time ago ostensibly from an Ains
worth citizen was written in his own
office several Ainsworth people whom
he approached refusing to become par
ties to such an infamous He George
cannot produce a single reputable cit
izen of Ainsworth who will verify the
statements contained in that letter
This is not the only time he has writ
ten letters to himself since coming to
Vql cntitje

POSTAL SAVINGS JiANK JHLL
The Chicago Records postal savings
bank bill was introduced in the house
of representatives on the opening day
of the congressional fession by Repre
sentative Lorimer the Chicago member
of the house committee on postolPcs
and postroads The bill was referred
at once to the postolfice committee ac
cording to the usual custom It was
introduced into the senate a day or
two later by Senator Mason who is a
member of the senate postotnee com
mittee It is upon these committees
that attention must center for the
present of those interested in the pas
sage of a law for the establishment ol
the postal savings bank system The
earnest agitation among the people
has forced upon U the members of
congress consideration of this subject
with the result that it is discussed in
Washington to an extent tat it never
has been before The chairman of the
house committee is au opponent of the
postal bank idea but other leading
members are friendly to the plan
The first ind indeed tke severest test
of strength therefore must come in
the postolfice committee If a postal
savings bank bill is reported favorably
by that committee and brought to a
vote in the house there can be but lit
tle doubt of the outcome on the lloer
Fortunately as the result of popular
agitation and because of the aggress
ive spirit which the friends of the
measure in congress are manifesting
tlve subject is one that cannot be ignor
ed or pigeonholed Never before has
the number of members actively inter
ested in the success of this project
beeu so great
MUCH TRUTH LITTLE POETRY
Wben Georgie comes
To take our liide
And Iiang it on the fence
HeiI cry Enough
Hands off MeDuiT
Ive learn d a little sen30 I
Our grit is great
A3 Goorgle knows
And iiO we must refuse
Te give onr hide
To the man who lied
Wben he said he tried to fuse
And -later on
He lied again
To this we call attention
Without a blu h
He said Hush hush
Goods at the gold convention
This Is the worst
Lie he has told
It hasnt the least foundation
For we were home
And did not roam
With the gfddbugs of tlietiayon
Now Georgie dear
Youd better stop
Thisblained infernal lying
For Its a crime
Andweeno time
To save jour soul from frying
The license board of Omaha recently
passed a resolution designating the
World Herald as the official paper of
the board and Kosewater of the Bee
secured an injunction against the Her
aid issued by Judge Keysor the in
junction prohibiting the latter paper
from publishing or referring to the
resolution or solicting advertisements
for liquor license And they call this
free America and we are supposed to
have a free press Is it any wonder
that men become anarchists when
such things are allowed The injunc
tion has its uses but when it is used
to prevent a man from pursuing his
legitimate business it is going too far
To the World Heralds credit be it
said that it published the resolution
despite the injunction
When a stockman places his brand
in this paper he knows that he pays
the same price as his neighbor no
more no less We do notjpublish one
brand for 500 a year and another for
100 and another for 2 00 and an
other for whatever we can get We
publish these brands for the monpy
there is in them and for the benefit
the publication is to the stockmen nut
for the purpose of making advertisers
think we control the stock trade of
the country thus enabling us to solicit
advertisements at good rates
The Valentine Democrat charges
the Newport Republican with pub
lishing Hanna syndicate matter as or
iginal If not why not We edit a
paper and will beg as a favor of the
erudite editor of the Democrat that
we be not considered original in any
sense of the word We believe one of
the inspired writers has said rhere is
nothing new under the sun But
what is the matter with Hania We
thought be was engaged in editing the
Klondike fever Neurport Republican
In speaking of this paper last week
the Clinton 111 Public said
The Democrat is the official dem
ocratic and leading newspaper of
Cherry county The editor of the
Public Is a man of discernment
