Corn is in fair condition but in need of cult

THE editor of Newspaperdom talks
as though he had at some time had ex-
perience in Nebraska politics. He says:
First and foremost, the man who owes
a newspaper an honest debt and will not
pay it, can be counted an enemy. The
man who wants an Office, and complains
because the newspaper will not champion
him in preference to all others is pretty
apt to become an enemy. The man who
wants to dictate to a paper, and is not
allowed to do so, is a sure enemy. The
rufian and the bully never like a bold
and fearless newspaper. The sneak and
the coward fear newspapers, and conse-
quently do not like them. But Of the
men that a newspaper should dislike, it
is the man whom it has befriended and
assisted, and who proves the migrate
who turns his back on the p after
securing all from it possible. We can
respect in a certain degree an open and
avowed enemy, but the migrate, never.

OUR great and good friend, Colonel
Abbott OF the Hayes Center Re publican,
who makes a habit of eating a small edi-
tor or two before breakfast every day OF

roll of the Old Man Terrible, and wastes
a half column or so Of ~mendacity and in
science upon the publisher hereof anent
a local episode that appealed to his fun
ny bone with much p%otentiality, We
distinctly decline to enter or continue a
controversy with Dur friend Abbott. for
reasons, however, quite foreign to that
insultipgly intimated in his closing SEN
tence. The Colonel is a gentleman when
he is in his proper role and we prefer to
remember him in that capacity, rather
than in the guise of a braggart as he
temporarily appears in the article re-
ferred to.
As the Colonel has not in the slightest
disturbed the integrity Of any of our
statement of facts. Int has only the
more tangled lImeeit ap - unIsslate-

himself as q gentleman OF honor, the in
c1dent is closed so far as THE TRIBUNE

Eckles Wants Representation.

CHADRoN, Neb., June II, 1896.
EDITOR TRIBUNE, McCook, Neb.
Dear sir:-In Nebraska there are four
teen saiaried state officers, including the
three supreme court commissioners. The
west half of the state, geographically
divided, is entitled by its population, to
two of these Offices year after year. We
have none and never had but one since
b state was organized. Or, if repre-
sentation is to be divided by congress
ional districts, the 9th district covers
three-ffths of the state, and by its popu-
iation is entitled to three state offices at
all times; but the east two-ffths, usually,
takes thirteen and permits the west three
hfths to have one. Now I believe this
has not been Intentionally, but inadver-
tently done. The question is, can the
party hope to hold the west Republican
by this neglect or refusal to recognize
this whole west half of the state on the
ticket? We will gain thousands of votes
and redeem almost every senatorial and
representative district as well as the 9th
congressional district, if given proper
recognition on the ticket. am the only
candidate for auditor in the 9th district,
and anything you may do to help secure
for US proper recognition for the west
will be appreciated and remembered by
people. Respectfully,
@. A. ECKLES.
