W il Weeks has sold his Scribuor
News toC K Fields of Omaha and in
his good byo to tho people of that town
Mr Weeks poiutodly says During
tho nine and ono half years that I have
lived in Soribuor I havo mado many
true friends that it pains mo to leavo
ami tho only balm in Ciilcad is tho com
fort experienced in getting away from n
few enemies whoso patrouago has con
sisted in tho advice they gave and who
never had a good word for The News or
its publisher 1 do not liko the idea of
leaving hero but 1 havo found n placo
where I can uuiko a living a thing that
has beon impossible hero for five years
The words of Mr Weoks apply with
equal force to many another community
besides Scribuor but tho trouble with
most of tho newspaper men is that they
io not havo the nerve to quit a town
whou fheir papers havo ceased to earn
enough m furnish them a decent living
Wo veuturo to say that ouo fourth or
more of the papers now published in
the state have not mado a living for
their proprietors during tho past five
years hut most of them havo hung on
eating up what they invested in hopes
that the other follow down street would
shut up shop and give them a larger Held
and a bettor opportunity to keep their
papers alive The ditliculty is pot
wholly with the newspaper mou either
but the peoplo themselves pro very
much to blame for this condition among
tho newspapers in Nebraska Every
town of 100 or 000 peoplo must havo two
papers to roprcsout tho two political
parties and tlieu whou the town is a
little larger there must be two papers to
represent the two factious of the dom
inant party Then the businoss men
who should be especially interested in
buildiug up a legitimate number of
strong newspapers in a town capable ot
ably represeutiug the community in
which they aro published with good
circulations and commanding the ro
spect of the people porsist in dividing
their business to such an extent that all
are obliged to run on a cheap basis and
very few are what they would be could
they have the hearty aud uuited support
of tho people where they are published

Ouullllrittlonn oCtlie Nevt Speaker
On tho first Monday in next Decembor
unless unforeseen events occur you
Gon David B Henderson will be
elected speaker of tho house of
representatives Tho position is one of
remarkablo power and honor It was
formerly only twice removed from tho
presidency nud nlthough the lino of
succossiou hns been properly diverted
there is no diminution of its glory
Speakers of tho house have been in tho
pnst and will continue to be in the
future important factors in moulding
tho countrys history nnd you may
well feel honored thnt upon yon will
fall the mantlo so worthily won by
many uotnbly Clay Colfax Blaine
Randall aud Heed It will seenistruugo
in this day nud generation to see the
gavel in the hands of a republican
othor than Mr Thomas B Reed
Nothing but the lnttors voluntary
choice could mako this possible Mr
Reed is such a dominating charaoter he
towers so loftily abovo all his colleagues
in the house that the distinction of
leadership would naturally be accorded
to him with unanimity as long as he
desired to accept it As tho immediate
successor to so great a man ns Mr Reed
you will sutler at first from comparison
It is fortunnte therefore that you are
in natural temperament nnd charac
teristics his very antithesis For
instance Mr Reed is a master of sarcasm
you do not know the moaning of tho
word Ho is cold satirical aud
calculating you nro wnrm nnd generous
hearted IIo is not companionablo
you could not and would not
avoid sociability Ho moves like a
massive car of Juggernaut not hes
itating to crush oven tho prostrate forms
in his path your genial and sunshiny
nature would shrink from inflicting a
wound He measures every word with
careful precision while yon pour forth
eloquent sentences with volcanic force
aud prodigal indifference In scores of
other characteristics the ooutrnst is
equally marked but I have enumerated
snfllciont to show that nt least you vyill
not be a miniature Reed You will be
Hendorson Consequently you will be
judged by your own standard and you
possess an individuality that will prevent
your being veiled in the shadow of the
physical aud mental giant whose place
you are to occupy
It is extremely fortunate that you
hnve had mauy years of experience in
congressional lifo that you are a good
politician that yoa are a man of broad
veiws and endowed with the prime
quality of common sense developed in
large degree A word to tho uext
speaker by a friend of Gen Henderson
in tho September Forum
It is said apropos to the becoming of
a British subject of William V Astor
that Queen Victoria is going to bring
suit against Uncle Sam for passing a
bad bid oft on her
Justice Again llcrcntcd
Franco has mado nnothor iloapcrnte
oust in tho hope of snving from tho ilia
groco it dosorves hor idol tho nrmy
Or rathor at this timo It would bo just
to flay that tho nrmy hnB mado tho cast
as many of tho peoplo of tho republic
havo bocomo nwakoncd to tho truo situ
ation nnd nro no longer firm in thoir
worship and support of thoir onco idol
Dreyfus has boon re convicted of tho
ouorinoiiB crimo for which ho spent bucIi
bitter years of intetiBo misory on Isle du
Plable IIo was convicted not becanso
ho was guilty not becanso ho hnd en
dangered tho safety of Franco or the
honor of her army not becauso tho
people of that republic domandod his
conviction but becauso tho high and
heretofore honored head of tho nrmy
ncedod n sacrifice to thoir honor bo
ciiuso tho toils wore slowly but surely
closing nround this head nnd would cor
tnlnly result in its eouiploto and dis
graceful overthrow
Thoy hope in this way to escapo tho
punishment that is surely coming but
will they Tho mills of thogods grind
slowly but they grind exceeding small
nnd if tho head of tho army of Franco
does not in timo moot its merited pun
ishment peoplo will be compelled to ac
knowledge thnt tho abovo proposition
heretofore infallible has for onco met
defeat
Tho nrmy hns ulready received its
partial puuishmout in suicides heart
aches aud worry nnd thnt worry is still
distressing the actors in this horrible
tragedy Thoy renlic that their
honor whilo for tho present it is tem
porarily upheld the time is coming
when a greater snenfice will be needed
nnd that sacrifice will bo nothing short
of this same head
Thoy have staved off tho calamity
but at what cost Forgery intriguo
porjury attempted murder and all the
evils that could possibly serve their ends
have been employed to the conviction of
Captain Dreyfus Fear of their lives
from an outraged pnblio compelled those
engaged in tho trial to observe tho ut
most precautions Armed guards and
secret detectives were in attendance on
all thoir deliberations and tho result is
still far from satisfactory
Tho people outside of Fiance had con
fidentially up to a few days ago looked
for Dreyfus to be cleared and given his
liberty but sober second thought ac
knowledged its impossibility as that
meant tho overthrow of men high in
power and the disgrace of the army
The Rennes court martial which
stood five to two for the conviction of
the suffering captain has often mani
fested marked partiality to tho prosecu
tion admitting the most suspicious sort
of evidence that would lend plausibility
to its course whilo the defense was
handicapped at every opportunity
It is gouerally believed that tho people
of Franco are justice loving and take
the same viow of tho proceedings that is
taken by tho outside world aud that
they will not submit to this outrage is
considered probablo A continuance of
such farcical proceedings means the
disgrnce uud overthrow of the republic
but it is safe to presume that thoy will
not be allowed to continue Friends of
tho republic sinoerely hope so at least
The spirit of fairness nud harmony
which prevailed throughout the repub
lican conference Saturday evening in
dicates that the desire of every dolegato
present was to promote the interests of
tho party with a willingness to do
everything possible to secure tho snecess
of the ticket at the fall election Every
thing considered not nenrly the bitter
ness was developed in the conference
that was ftared At the critical time
when the next few moments meaut

some shnrp exchauges of oratory but
when the result was flunlly renched

one of tho delegates expressed it
When I camo into this hall I was a

which was mado jKissible only through
his witdrawnl from tho race aud which
ho did in a manner that gained for him
many new friends Mr Gardner will

What desperate efforts the democrats
