The State Republican Central Com,
mittee met last Wednesday evening at
the Willard hotel in Omaha, for the pur.
pose of selecting the time and place for
holding the State Convention for the
nomination of State Officers and Presi-
dental Electors. The committee was
well attended and general good feeling
prevailed. The convention was called
for August 9th, at 10 o'clock A. NJ.
The prevailing opinion being that the
delegates could reach that city by morn
ing trains from different points in the
state and have ample opportunity to
transact the business of the convention
in time to depart for their homes upon
the following morning. The basis of
representation remains the same as that
fixed for the late convention, which
named the national delegates to Chica-
60. Early nominations with an aggres-
sive campaign was determined npon.-

NEBRASKA is young in years, but not
in progress and prosperity in every line
of work. One of the brightest pros
poets before the state lies in the educa-
tional prospects and facilities this state
enjoys, and aside from public schools
and state education, the young and
growing colleges for higher education
are most noteworthy. Doane College
at Crete, the Hastings College, the
Baptist Seminary at Gibbon, York Col
lege, Bellevue College, and numbers of
others, comprise UNCONVENTIONAL schools
in the state that are yearly growing in
strength, numbers and influence, and
are, as they ought to be, source of
pride to all.

OUR BIRTHDAY.

WITH this issue THE TRIBUNE enters
upon the third year Of its journalistic
existence. When the present manage
ment took the helm, last fall, little or
no rhetoric was wasted in making prom
Uses, but they went to work with the
secret determination to make THE
TRIBUNE a journal in which its readers
as we'll as its editors might take pride
"a paper in harmonious keeping with
the Importance of the town and county.
BY reason Of the patronage given us we
have been enabled to enlarge the paper,
and to make a number of needed i'm
provements, among which we take
pleasure in mentioning the Improved
Prouty Cylinder Press with which this
Office has recently been equipped. In
addition, the Job Department has been
considerably enlarged to accommodate
the demands in that direction. The
same rule and spirit will govern The
TRIBUNE as heretofore. Hoping the
coming year may be prosperous one
to our patrons as well as ourselves,
we remain, THE TRIBUNE.

THE opening of the Sioux reservation
is likely to hang fire for some time.
The. members of the Sioux commission
have returned from their official trip
to the Sisseton reservation, whether
they went to arrange with the Sisseton
Indians for sale of a portion of their
lands. The commission told the Indians
briefly what they were instructed to do,
namely, to arrange with them plan
by which the Indians could sell the
greater part of the million acres owned
by them at not less than $3.50 per acre.
1t is estimated that the lands would
bring at least $4,000, 600 which at five
per cent would yield 100000 per year,
thereby making a cash annuity of nearly
$4,000 for each family Of six persons.
In reply to the commission the Indians
said they had fully considered the
proposition and they did not at this
time care to sell the lands. The Indians
expected parley and were doubtless
surprised when the commissioners left
them with the remark that when they
got ready to sell they would come back
and talk with them. While this is
discouraging news to those who would
like to buy these valuable lands, the
Indians will probably communicate with
the commissioners before long.

+. NJ. HOLLAND, in the Index, gives
utterance once more to the plaintivc
wall that manhood is running down at
the heel. He says farmers are not as
good farmers as they were, mechanics
are losing their ingenuity, and so on
through the list. Is it true =? Were
the mechanics of a generation ago SUI
perior to Edison ? Were the lawyers
better than Evarts and O'Connor
Were the preachers ADLER than Talmage,
Beecher and Swing? Were the news
papers better conducted, the railroads
more carefully managed, the telegraph
more speedy, than now =? Were the
crops equal in quantity and quality to
those produced in these later degener-
ate years ? How do the horses, cattle,
sheep and hogs of forty years ago COM
pare with the domestic animals of to-
day? Was the thought Of a generation
gone holder and broader and more Wig
orous than that of the present hour e?
Were kindness, charity and truth more
the rule of human conduct then than
now2 Did peace then so widely bless
mankind? These questions answer
themselves and silence the carper who
declares the world is growing weaker

better, and that growth will continue.

ture. He may not be here, and if he
is he will see the earth taking care of

IT is probable that the commercial
advantages to be derived by the United
States from the opening up Of Mexico
have been overrated. The country has
a sparse and poor population, and the
small quantities of goods they are likely
to buy must undergo long and costly
transportation. The development of
the resources of Mexico will be the
work Of immigrants, who are entering
slowly upon the task.
