No paper willbe discontinued until arrearages are paid, except at the option of the publisher. Papers sent out ofthecounty must be paid for in advance. Lynching may once have been a disease, hut it is rapidly becoming a habit. Well, everybody will now con cede that G rover is the greatest ex-President in the country. Why doesn't some real enterpris ing editor invite Boni to come over and edit his paper for a week. Boni might be glad of the money. The Democrats are declaring how much they admire General Harri son. Times have changed since the old days of the so-called force bill. Poor "antis". The Philippines are so quiet that they can't find anything to grumble over, and even Cuba seems about to accept the protection offered to her and be good. Why not extend that "Cabinet on Wheels" idea by shipping Con gress to the Philippines in a big steamer that will allow speechmak ing togo on en route? China has declined to yield Man churia to Russia. Now we shall see whether Adamzad wants that country badly enough to fight for .t. Bryan will only bring himself in to greater contempt than ever by such attacks as his latest on Mr. Cleveland. To offer an ex-Presi dent of the l T nited States S"> for an article may be funny in Nebraska but it is ridiculous elsewhere. m . Milkmen in many parts of the country have taken a hint from the footpads, and have adopted rubber boots so as not to disturb their customers unnecessarily. They are also a protection from water. It is reported that the President did not know that Representative Rodenburg had voted to starve out the civil service commission only a year ago, when he appointed hitu to a post on it. It is possible that the appointment may be revoked. Secretory Root may goto Manila his summer in order to study the conditions there for himself. No written or verbal report can take place of personajl investigation 1 it is to be hoped that the Sec retary's plan will not be allowed to fall through. The Philippine Information So ciety, and "anti''association, after careful investigation has admitted publicly that the war in the Phil ippines was started by tin; natives. Its members haven't apologized for past falsehoods on the subject, how ever. Educational tests are things that two people can play at. How would the Democrats like it if the Republicans should adopt the Maryland qualification in New York,disfranchising about one-half of Tammany's foreign support in the greater city? Great Britian's reasons for refus ing to accept the 1 lay-Poncefore treaty as amended, strike us as be ing merely a variation of the old bargaining customs that won her the title of a nation of shopkeepers. She wants to know what we'll give to boot. Possibly, she will find out. ALL AROUND THE COUNTY. Sterling Run Tannery News. The Buffalo club is all the rage at the Run. George Dillen who has been on the sick list is able to be out again. Wonder what the attraction is for the Sterling Run girls at the tannery.
