bed. AS Tom Reed said, Let go the
bird You have in your hand; there
may be one in the bush. -
Such sophistry is on par with the
argument put forth by the editor
of the Spirit and his confreres. He
knows, as does every sane man in the
whole country, Democrat and Repub-
lican, and more especially the editors
of newspapers who have the very best
of opportunities for gaining informa-
ton, that the people were prosperous
until Cleveland was elected President
on a platform which declared Protec-
ton unconstitutional, and it was
known that all departments of the
government would be controlled by
the Democratic party.
When mills and manufactures and
banks began to fail, the hue and cry
was that the Sherman silver law was
the Jonah and it must be cast over
board. Republicans knew better and
said SO. Democrats on the contrary,
shouted. Away with it'' Away
with it" When they found them
selves powerless TO accomplish the OBJ
ject SO near their hearts-the conf
plete demonstration OF silver-Repub-
licdns were implored to lend hand,
and the purchasing clause of the Sher-
man law was repealed. The result
was exactly what was predicted by
every Republican. Poverty and Mis-
cry, closely related to Death, stalked
through the land A new industry,
one which has lain dominant for a
third of century, was resurrected.
Soup houses appeared everywhere.
The work of making paupers continu-
ed and continues, and will grow and
expand until the tariff smashers with
draw their beaks from the great heart
of the NATURALIZATION. Then, and
not till then will Industry lift her
dropping bead and Prosperity smile
upon the people.

SHAME AND DISGRACE.

The House of Representatives refus-
ed to adjourn over Washington birth
day. Bland, of Missouri. in charge Of
the seigniorage bill, aptly termed "a
bill for the coming of vacuum, had
been striving for sey eral days to Sc
cure quorum. Warrants had been
issued for absentees and the day be-
fore half dozen Republican members
were arraigned at the bar of the House
Republicans were naturally indignant
but powerless in the face OF the mob
When the House met on the 22d,
Amos Cummings, the printer men,
Der from New York, found himself un-
der arrest, likewise Gen Dan Sickles.
Amos undertook to explain and the
more he explained the madden he got.
He talked loud and long and others
joined in until Bedlam was outdone.
The mace was brought out, and for
the first time in the history of the
country was disregarded
Friday was repetition ofthe same
mad scenes. except that the prisoners
were released, and although $50 men,
bers were present voting quorum
could not be secured. Republicans
frequently called attention to the fact
that quorum was present, yet such
was the bullheadedness of the Demo-
Gratis that they would not avail them
selves of it.
And thus it goes, day after day, moth
ing being done. Business languishes,
the Treasury deficit grows larger and
larger, the House does nothing. the
Senate is held by the three briga-
diers." as Senator Brice of Ohio says,

effort, and source of inspiration to all
who had the pleasure of hearing it.
The doctor is one of Nebraska's strong
est all-around men, cultured and accom-

into the pulpit, he has gained renown
there as well as on the lecture platform,
and as an educator. 1t is high pleas
ure and educational to hear him on any
topic Without the puffs and frills of
superficial oratory he is a most engaging
and earnest and convincing talkcr In
fact the doctor captured the town, and
THE TRIBUNE will not be surprised to
see him back here in the not distant
future, at the earnest request of many,
to deliver another lecture. The doctor
is wholesome.

Was he Siugged and Robbed?

A stranger giving Oxford as his home
claimed to have been slugged in our city,
Tuesday night, and robbed of IS.
The chief of police discredits the idea
that the party was robbed.
The doctor who sewed up the injured
mans head, Wednesday morning, thinks
the wound is such as might be made
with piece of gas pipe or weapon OF
that kind
There seems to be no doubt but that
the fellow was drunk and his head and
face gave evidence that he was hurt.
AS to his having been robbed there may
be room for question, although he claims
that the fellow who struck him was slim
and small and wore a light suit OF
clothes. The injured man laid all night
in his blood in the nelghborhood of the
White Line transfer barn.
Suspicion attaches to the young Eaton
brothers who got out of town, Tuesday
night, on the blind baggage it is thought.
