The McCook tribune. (McCook, Neb.) 1886-1936, 1885-12-24

The senate is going slowly to the
matter of confirming the appoiatees of
the President. 1t has. ordered all the
appointments to be published III the Con-
gressional Record the day after they are
sent in, so as to save the labor of look
ing over every case in manuscript, and
whenever the President has made a re-
moval so as to have Il vacancy to Eli
with an appointment, the senate sends
up TO the White House for the reason
of such removal, and they are also pub
lished in the Record. This gives each
senator an opportunity to study the sit
uation for himself. But it is too slow
going a process to suit the democratic
occupants of the anxious seat, and they
are nervous, Offensive partisanshlp,"
no longer sounds so much like a bloody
joke as it did. Practical jokes can never
be considered Il success until completed,
and of course one of these jokes is not
entirely turned off till the senate has
had q whack at it.

FROM the State Journal we learn that
Quin Bohanan' lawyer had a telegram
from Washington, yesterday, stating
that Justice Miller of the supreme court
had allowed a writ of error to the SUI
preme court of the United States. This
will stay proceedings in the case until
the question can be determined. The
supreme court of Nebraska fixed the
time for his execution on the 18th of
next month at the. time they refused to
grant him a new trial and the present
proceedings will carry it over that date,
although the attorney general is deter
mined to bring the matter before the
court for their decision at the earliest
possible moment. His first step will be
to file IL motion, as in the Simmerman
case, to dismiss for want of jurisdiction
and he feels confident that the supreme
court will make the same ruling and will
promptly dismiss the ease out of court.

GENERAL BRIsBTN's description of
the way the Rosebud agency Indians
butcher their beeves will be likely to give
the noble red man a basket in Boston.
So long as the poor Indian did nothing
more severe than scalp, ravish or tor
ture the bad frontiersman and women
who invaded their hunting grounds, the
philanthropists of the eastern slope
could sympathize with him. But when
they learn that he also fortunes to death

they will shut down on the brute right
away. Cruelty to animals is not toler-
ated in the latitude and longitude of

THE recent trial of a number of Den
yer parties for making fraudulent land
entries at the McCook and North Platte
Offices, which transpired before the Unit
ed States Court at Omaha, last week,
resulted in the conviction Of but one
poor devil. Yundt by name, who had
been led into the difficulty by the de-
signing scoundrel (who turned states
cvidence) by whose evidence in the main
he was convicted. A more outrageous
travesty on justice, than the conviction
of a comparatively innocent man at the
hands of the culpably guilty wretch,
were scarcely imaginable.

WE quite frequently hear the hope
expressed hat the Senate will refuse to
confirm Commissioner Sparks. And to
this end many of our western Senators
have been petitioned to use their utmost
~endeavors. In view of the unfortunate
fact that General Sparks was duly con
firmed Land Commissioner on the 25th
day of last March, all hopes of defeat
ing his confirmation will be rather bar
rem of fruition. We commend some Of
the Commissioner short-sighted rul-
ings to the tender mercy of the Secre-
tary of the Interior, however.

HEN of Mar Shout world Ahoyr'
IGalignani's MssSengar.

An amateur astronomer Of Teramo,
in the Abruzzi, named Pemignani, has
ascertained the presence on the face OF
the planet Mars of several luminous
points of exceeding brilliancy, which
shift from place to place with method
ical regularity, as if they were con-
trolled by some intelligent action. The
observer has therefore concluded that
the sparks are telegraphic signals sent on
speculation by the inhabitants of Mars,
to their neighbor, the Earth. Up to the
present the meaning of the signals has
not been interpreted.
