Isn’t it a fact that the only life which has been lost since the commencement of the trouble was that of a peaceable old man, who was bayoneted while pros- trato on the ground! The sole cause of the alarm is the presence of the military, who are holding drunken carouses on our streets and inflaming the passions of our people by actions that would not -be justifiable under the rules of war by an army of in. vaders in an encmy's country. SENATOR VAN WYCK'S OF- FENSE, Senatar Van Wyck made a grave mistake in replying at all to the dis. patch from the leader of the mob, the man Walsh, who is held in heavy bail for appearance on a charge of assault with intent to kill. Such men as this loafer and demagogue, who has not and never had a dollar’s interest in this city, are not the men for a sen- ator from the state in the congress to hold communication with.

He simply congratulates Omaha workingmen npon the assur- ance that there was no truth in the report telegraphed the president that the civil and military auth-rities of Nebraska were unable to protect life and property and maintain order in Omahs. He congratulates the work- ingmen upon the assurance that they had no intention to viclate the laws, —— Tae Herald represents the Grand Army of the Republic as tendering their services to Mayor Boyd and Governor Nance to suppress strikers and rioters. This statement is abso- lutely false. The Grand Army isa purely benevolent organization, and no post has the right to volunteer in tho name f the Grand Army thana lodge of Masons or Odd Fellows. Ir isn't proving so easy to keep graders on the dump, even with seven hundred troops within calling distance. Yesterday afternoon the impressive spectacle of seven hundred soldiers protecting three men and a scraper against a dangerous mob of two little girls and a small boy, could have been witnessed by any spectator passing down Eighth streot. New York is revelling in another and informed them that he would at their request call upon th> president and submit their statement and remon- strance, X Was there anything improper in this?

Is and they are required to find the not the poorest among our citizens as cowardly brave who takes the life of much entitled to his services as the & non-combatant. millionaire? Mr. Walsh appealed to In this case the military are here; the senator on behalf of the labor to enforce the criminal laws, not to union of Omaha and the senator only violate them, and all men or papers di.d his duty in treating their request that have invoked military protection with the same courtosy ,th“ he would cannot gloss this marder over by any | the request of corporation managers, sort of pretense. bankers or merchants. Such'conduct b only increases popular respect for Senator Van Wyck as aman, and asa true representative of the people. But we can assure the senator that their officers plead ignorance and exert all their influence to cover up the party guilty ot this criminal breach of discipline. Contrast the re- cent trial of Sergeant Mason, sen- tenced to eight years hard labor for firing at Guiteau.

Life and property workingmen have been concerned. The only life that has been lost was oruelly sacrificed by an undisciplined militia. There has not been an hour in which the civic authorities could not have enforced any order if they had possessed the backbone of a dis- mantled gamecock, The laws of the state were never defied, and the only breach of the peace which ocourred could easily have been prevented if the mayor and his deputies had not skulked to the rear of hostilities and given orders to the regular police to re- tire just when the breath ef the poace became imminent. For three days after the knocking down of a special policeman caused Mayor Boyd to call on the government for protection, no visitor to Omaha could have told from the appearance of our streets or busi- nees house that any difficulty between capital and labor existed in our ocity, ‘What was there ‘“‘alarming”.in the character of the strike on Wednesday, Thureday or Friday afier the affair on the grade, which the railroad organs magnified into a bloody riot?

The sigoificant pont brought out by the comparative table of figures is the ratio of condition in the winter wheats reported fromall the wheat- growing states, a falling off being re- ported in very few instances indeed, with the exception of some damage done by insect plagues and frost. In respect to the acreage, a large increase over last year is indicated in the tases ot Missouri, Kentucky, and Indiana, while there has also been a gain in this regard in the cases of Ohio, Illi. nois, and Kansas. In the latter threo states, however, this gain was coun- terbalanced by the losses sustained in certain counties. The summary indicates that there was in many lo- ocalities a very important increase in tho moreage of winter wheat over the crop of lust year, and that the con- dition of the crep was much abovo the average. Of the old crops of wheat and Indian corn planted last year but a small proportion remains on hand in Michigan snd Wiscoesin, with a small percentage in Kentucky, Indi- aun and Minnerota. A large p-reent- age, however, siill rewains undisposed of in Illinois, Iowa and Missouri. More of the wheat crop remains on the farmers’ hands than of the corn, however, over one-third of the entire wheat crop still being left in Minne- sota, Towa, Tllinois and Ohio, with a similarly large ratio in other states, The exact average of the wheat crop eations are that the supplies of wheat and corn for esstward shipment are likely to be very limited from now un- til next August. ArrorsRY GRNERAL DILLwoRTH act- ing at the back of corporation auto- orats has caused Judge Savage to im- panel a special grand jury to indict the so-called reckless demagogues who have incited a dangerous mob to mut- derous assaults. On Wednesday night at the vory hour when Mayor Boyd was tolegraphing for troops and three days beforo Omaha was put under the protection of the military one of these reckless demagogues addressing the “piotous mob” made the following in- cendiary speech: ‘‘For God's sake do not do anything rash to bring down the condemnation of peaceable, law- abiding citizens and put the union in a bad light, but stick to your colors, Be honorable; act like men, not like a mob, and discourage excitement, Keep away from saloons and let va- grants and loafers that are always sure to hang around the edge of a strike entirely alone, and above all things do not violate any law.” Taue proposition to arbitrate on the differences of opinion between em- ployers and employes came from the so-calied blood-thirsty strikers of Omaha. This gory prtposition has been in- dignantly refused by the managers of the B. & M., who declined to hold any negotiations lnoking to an end of the trouble. And who is responsible for the fact that the difficulty still remains unset- tled, 1In other cities during the past week in at least two instances serious labor troubles have been settled by mutual concessions between the men and the employers. In what respect are the Omaha high-mightinesses superior to eastern capitalists? And doesn’t their refusal to treat with men now open to argument lay them open to the charge of wilfully continuing a trouble for whose re- sults they profess so much fear and trembling? 3 Way don't the attorney general call upon Judge Savage to instruct the special grand jury to indict the man or men that murdered Geo.

When both met in the court room to-day vituperative words d, and drawing pistols al- most simultaneously both commenced firing.

SAMUEL STEVENSON testified that he saw the man getting hurt; he was in the middle of the street; was laying down and three or four soldiers were over him with their bayonets, but none of them touched him; some one rushed in and made a strike at the man that was down; couldn’t‘see whether he struck him or not; he pushed at him and the man kind of rolled over and he made another jab at him; then he went back and said, ‘‘Didn’t I do it up good boys?
