The McCook tribune., 1892-10-07

The death of Joseph Ernest
Renan, which is announced today,
was brought about, as in the case
Of SO many distinguished men,
especially scholars, by the contrac-
tion Of cold developing into con-
gestion of the lungs. Mr.. Renan
was born in 1928, and so lacked
but little Of having attained his
three score and ten years, but his
intellectual vigor had not abated
and he was in the full tide of liter
ary production, working on his
great History Of Isreal Before the
Birth Of Christi of which two
volums have been published.
Renan was born of devout
family and was intended for the
priesthood; in fact, he had begun
his preparation for it, when he
developed beliefs, or perhaps a
lack of belief, which led to his
abandonment Of the seminary Of
st. Sulpice as theological student.
Instead of becoming a minister of
the Christian religion he became
one of the most powerful opponents
along a certain line. It is doubt
f,,l if any other writer in the ranks
of unbelief ever possessed more of
the peculiar learning which is
usually arrayed on the side Of
faith than Renan possessed. He
was a great Semitic scholar and
he made himself familiar by per-
sonal visitation with all the country
so often spoken Of as the ''Land Of
the Bible His best known book
i'll this country, the ''Life of
Jesus" exhibits all the charms of
his wonderful clear and fascinating
style. The objection to other
writer's, that they dealt with their
subject in coarse and, to the de-
vout, in a blasphemous manner,
did not in the least apply to M.
Renan, whose chapters were full
Of tenderness and reverence. His
private life was most happy, and
to believer and to unbeliever he
was most interesting parsonage.

SECRETARY of State John G.

SECRETARY of State John G.
Allen, or Johnny Allen,'' as he
is called by all classes, is making
a quiet, but none the less effective
campaign for republicanism this
year. His personal friends are
numbered by the thousand. They
are scattered all over the state,
and never lose an opportunity to
say good word about the
geniality, the honesty and the
conscientiousness of the secretary.
He has made SO many firm friends
by his courtesy and his able and
just management Of the office that
his part of the campaign goes
marching on whether he is in his
office hard at work or out among
the people kissing the babies,-

PROF. ANDREWS is winning
golden opinion wherever he goes.
Wherever he goes crowds gather
to hear him. More they hear and
know him the more the people
believe they should send him to
Washington to represent them.
When they seat Prof. Andrews in
the congressional chair western
Nebraska can for once expect to
have a representative there that
will represent them in such a way
that they will be proud.-Hol-
drege Citizen.

THE interviews with Secretary
of State John G. Allen published
by this paper in relation to the af-
fairs of the insane asylum as con-
Quoted at present have met with
the hearty commendation Of the
business NEIL of the city. Many
merchants who have had dealings
with the asylum management are
satisfied that the present method
of purchasing supplies is essen
TALLY vicious and productive Of
loss to the state. They earnestly
desire to see the adoption Of a
system that will make the mani
pulation of figures by sharp
bidders an impossibility.-Jour-

The supreme court of Iowa has
affirmed the decision Of the court
below in the celebrated meteor
case. The decision is that when q
meteor falls from heaven on a
mans farm or into his door yard
it is a gift from heaven to the
owner of the land, and no passer
by has right to dig it up, cart it
off and sell it for thousand dol
