Many people now in Omaha will doubtless remember the ludicrous soenes enacted in our city during the memorable Indian soare of 1864, For two weeks our streets were barricaded, business suspended, men and horses were pressed imto militin service, shotguns, old sabres and horse-pistols were in active requisition, and men in buckram, dubbed brigadiers, colonels and majors were strutting themselves to death in drilling recruits. All this terriblecommotion wascaused by a band of peaceable Pawnees crossing the Elkhorn within twenty miles of Omaha on their return to their reservation from a buffalo hunt. fHE WEEKLY BEE, published ov- ery Wednesday.

The scare subsided in due time, the militia were disbanded and Omaha became the laughing stock of the balance of the state. The prosent military invasionof Omaha in many respects is more ludi- crous than the bloodless Indian scare of 1864, More men have time and again been knocked down in an Omaha beer garden in three minutes on a Sunday afternoon than there were in the so called bloody riots during the past woek. There is no more need of gatling quns, howitsers, breach-load- ing rifles and sabre bayonets in Oma- ha to-day than there is in any city in the union where a Iarge force of labor- ing menare employed. And what has called forth this array of cannon and musketry? The great blusterer who, as mayor of Omaha, notified the governor that he is utterly powerless to maintain order has caused the city to be put under martial law, when in fact he had made only the most feeble effort to maintain order. Instead of exerting his full authority in conjunc- tion with the sheriff of Douglas coun- ty, this bombastes furioso lost his head and invokes military intervention be- fore either he or the sheriff have sum- moned law abiding citizens to aid them in suppressing disorder. If Every mayor in every city where labor troubles occur should emulate the ex- ample of mayor Boyd, we should have to enroll a standing’ army of a half a million men and bankrupt STAY AWAY. Workingmen of Omaha must not omv;i around or congregate in the streets or near the grouuds where soldiers are stationed. By keeping away you will deprive the authorities of every excuse or pretense that you mean to create disturbance or resort to violence, Let the expensive farce of military occupation of & péaceful city proceed. The stupid blunderers who have called for the army will in due time rue their folly. — Brapy has furnished bail in the sum of $20,000 under the indictment for star route conspiracy. For a poor man, Thomas is evidently valued at & good round figure. Tug free trade demoorats don't seem to como to, the front in congress as boldly as was expectea. Absolute froe trade is very generally admitted to be impracticable. * Frox the days when Rome was agi- tated by labor troubles, every conflict betweor: capital and labor has been only satisfactorily sejtled by mutual concession and compromise. Tur latest thing in neckties in Arizona is hemp. Three desperadoes were presented with these tokens of regard last week in that territory and it didn't cost the county a cent. militia expenses. We should not ob- ject to an occasional military dress parade in Omaha to gratify the vanity of officials who want to parade their names in the papers with bombastic proclamations and military requisi- tions. But it is a damaging blow to Omaha to impress the country with the idea that our streets are ruoning red with bloody riot and our citizers have to be guarded by the army to protect them against a red- handed hob, when in fact not a regu- lar policeman has struck or received a blow, not a single arrest has been made, and no resistance has been made to either sheriff or constable in any attempt to arrest a. disorderly person, ———— AN ANTI-MONOPOLY\VIOTORY The real facts about the defeat of the republican candidate for the legis- lature in the New York Eighteenth senatorial district are coming to light. A republican majority of over 6,000 was overturned and a democrat elect- ed, and the press reluctantly ad- mit that anti-monopoly was the cause of the revolution. Mr. Stan- ford, the candidate for Webster Wag- ner’s seat, was a monopolist of a very flagrant stamp. When in the legis- lature he voted for the outrageous stock-watering scheme of the New York Central, and also to permit that road to raise its fare, He is a brother of Leland Stanford, of the Central Pa- eific railroad ring, and altogether has a most objectionable monopoly record. As to spending money, Mr. Stanford spent ten dollars for every one ex- pended by the democrats and anti- monopolists, and the result is all the more gratifying when we take this into oconsideration. It shows that workingmen won't sell their vote for a mess of pottage when they understand that in doing so they mortgage their future and that of their children to the monopolists. Ina circular rolnting to the facts in the case the Anti-Monopoly League say that for some time previous to the election they had been quietly organ- izing through the State and when the election consequent upon the death of Senator Waguer was announoed they turned their attention to the district, Withio a month 17 branch leagues were formed there, more than one hundred thousand documents distri- buted, and a district which had been repeatedly debauched with money and which was looked upon as one of the surost republican districts in theState went largely democratic, As soon as it was announced that the republicans had nominated a monopoly candidate in the person of Mr, Stanford, a man who, in 1866, voted for the increased fare bill on the New York Central railroad, and in 1868 for the Consoli- dation Btockwatering Bill, each league was invited to send delegates to an Anti-Monopoly Conference to be held at Schenectady on the same day as the Democratic Convention, February 18th. The democrats were notified that if they nominated a wman who was sound on this question, he would receive Anti-Monopoly support, They did so. Mr. Baucus signified Eiour national banks have been or: goanized within the past two wueks with an aggregate capital of $700,000. The Nebraska national of Omaha heads the list with a capital of $260,- 000. Tae statistios of the increase of orime and vice in Massachusetts show that they are increasing more rapidly than in any other state of the Union. The descendants of the Pilgrim fa- thers seem better at preaching virtue to others than practising it them- nelves. Lumeering up the congressional calendar with private bills continues at an alarming rate and it is stated that if the session continues until July the list will foot up a round two thousand. Of these it is safe to say that three fourths will slumber in the commit ee room pigeon holes. e— Ir every state had no more dif- fioulty about settling the apportion- ment question than Vermont, there would be little need of extra sessions of the legislature for redisrioting pur- poses, The two new congressional distriots will be divided by the back- bone of the state, the Green conven- tion range Taz Néw Jersey senate has adopted the constitutional amendment provid- ing for biennial sessions of the legisla- ture and a four years' term for sena- tors and governor. . The New York legislature will vote on a similar meas- ure. There is a general impression that “‘we are govorned too much,” and that the more unfrequent the meetings of our law makers and the shorter the sessions the better it is for the people at large. Tug minority of the Massachusetts woman snffrage committee, in their re- port to the legislature, stato as an ar- gument against the measure that “‘If the wife of & republican goes to the polls with her husband, the wife of the democrat is either compelled to do the same or see her husband prac- tically disenfranchised as compared with his neighbor.

Indeed they made the only notive canvass that was made; the democrats had been beaten in this district 80 often by monopoly money that they were discouraged and apa- thetle. In ‘concluding the league asks whether this result is not indicative of the strength of the anti-monopoly sentiment and of the necessity of both parties putting forward candidates who will protect the public interest against the encroachments of corpor- ate monopolies, If they do, then the anti-monopoly league will not take sides; if they do not, it will support the candidate who professes our prin- ciples and see that he acts up to his professions. That is what the league has come for, and it has come to stay until the people’s rights are obtained. It will affiliate with no one party; it will trade with notody, but it will watch everybody. ——— MOB RULE AND MILITARY RULE. Last Wednesday night Mayor Boyd notified Governor Nance that he was utterly powerless to maintain order in this city and invoked through him military protection. From Wednes- day night until Saturday morning, when Omsha was given over to mili- tary rule the ‘‘mob” had complete control. For three nights and three days Omaha was absolutely at the mercy of a ‘‘blood thirsty red handed and riotous mob."” It was a terrible and desperate sit- uation, The suspense was simply awful! For three days and three nights the streets, avenues and lanes of Omaha were thronged with the tin bucket brigade of ‘‘socialists, communists and nihilists,” The B. & M. steam shovel stood unguarded on the dump, and The Omaha Herald office was exposed to five thousand ‘‘merciless fiends.” But during these seventy-two hours the “‘red-handed mob” did not molest man, woman or child. Not a dollar’s worth of -property was damaged or destroyed, not a win- dow was broken. Jim Stephenson, whom the ‘‘bloody rioters” hate so intensely,rode through the streets at all honrs of the day and night unharmed, and Dr. Miller was allowed to heap insults and exasper- arating abuse upon the strikers with- out any other resentment than a harmless set of resolutions. The advent of the army has given us military rule in place of mob rule, The sabre bayonet has been thrust into the faces of the ‘‘rebellious in- surgents,” and the majesty of the law has been vindicated with Gattling guns and howitzers. On the second day of army rule—on the Babbath day, comsecrated to prayer and meditation—while idle men, women and children were con- gregating in the stréets where the oitizen soldiery” are quartered, a diversion was created and a defense- less old raan bayonetted through the breast, because he did not understand martial usage. If these diversions of our armed protectors are kept up dur- ing the rest of their stay, we shall have occasion to mark the contrast be- tween mob rule and military rule. TREAT THEM WITH COUR" TESY. The men enrolled in the Nebraska National guard and regular troops who have been quartered in Omaha in response to the call of the chief 'magistrate of this state, should be treated with courtesy by all classes of our citizens, The Nebraska militia are for the most part farmers who have organized ' un. der the laws of this state for the com- mon defense, and they deserve credit for the promptness and loyalty they have shown in coming forward to suppress what they were led to believe a dangerous riot. The reg- ulars are here under orders from the president of the United States, who had been imposed on by representa- tion that the civil and military author- ities of this state had exhausted their resources in an effort to suppress an insurrection. It is no fault of these soldiers that they have been called to Omaha prematurely on a fools crrand, However inexcusable the appeal for military protection may be, the sol- diers who are quartored in Omaha should not be jeered at or insulted by the populace, to whom their pres- ence is offensive. Let us show these men by courteous treatment that we respect them as fellow-oitizens and as soldiers. Let them carry back to their homas the most friondly feeling toward the population of Omaha, Let them go back with the conviction that our citizens are as pesceably disposed as those of any other section ef this state. Sm— Tae civil authorities of Omaha are decidedly courageous. When the peace of Omaha was imperiled by a “‘blood-thirsty mob,” they made no attempt to arrest the so-called ring leaders. They assumed in advance that the arrest of these parties would be violently resisted, and the *‘pris. oners” rescued by a ‘‘red-handed mob.” Upon} this assumption is his approval of the principles of the "bued their notice to the governor that N they had exhausted all civil author- ity to repress violence, But as |soon s the troops were on the grounds these courageous offieinls served the warrants that should have been served botore troops were ealled for. The only charge which these ‘‘ring leaders” could be ealled upon to an- swer, is inciting a riot or conspiring to incite a riot. If sustalned by oredi- ble proof, such a charge should be proferred and prosecuted to the fall extent of the law. But they arrest these men on a charge of assault, with intent to commit murder, which, in the face of the fact that they were not engaged personally in the assault, and actually were appealing to the assailants to fall back, tends to make the whole ? proceeding a farce. For our part, if any man or set of men can be convicted of counseling or abetting violence and riot, we desire him or them punished through the criminal court. But the arrest of any class of oitisens, on a charge that cannot be sustained merely to make a showing of justification for calling on the army is indefensible. ————— And this is the way in whioch sensi- ble editors of the state press look upon the call to arms of the state mi- litia to suppress a riot which doesn’t exist except in the imagination of howling idiots like the editor of The Herald and white-faced cowards of the Marshal Angell stamp. The Central City Courier says: The following ulefmm came to Oapt. Greiner at 10 o’clock this morn- ing, from Col. Colby: ‘‘Get your company under arms and report by wire to me at once. Excuse no man exoept for sickness.” There was no explanation as what was the duty which they are expected to perform. It is conjectured, however, that the strike at Omaha is developing into a riot, and the boys are wanted to go down and perforate the individuals who refuse to work for $1.25 a day. It will be remembered that a little farce of this kind was played last year on a similar occasion, when several companies of militia went to Omaha and sat around on beer kegs several days watching the rioters. It i8 very sad thus to have our most promising young men ruthlessly ex- posed to danger. Itisto be regretted that the mayor doesn’t save the State this expense by appointing a half dozen gritty special policemen to ar- rest the leaders of the trouble and dis- perso the rioters. EEE——— Tas electric light has its disadvan- tages as well as its advantages and ac- cidents from its use are almost daily reported. Some time ago a young man in Denver, while repairing an electric light, mounted a high step ladder and with a wire in each hand was about to connect the circuit when the current was suddenly turned on. The shock completely paralyzed him and he fell backward off the ladder to the ground. He has now brought suit against the company for damages. One side of his face is paralyzed and the doctors say that it will remain so the rest of his life.
