That may be ungrateful, but it's politics. Ir will be advisable for the aspirants to Pendleton’s senatorial seat to keep their eye on old man Thurman, He has lately visited old Simon Cameron, and has got a pointer. Tur Springfield Republican, in com- menting upon General Howard's recom- meondation that deserters be branded, says: “‘It is now said that Gen. Howard did not want deserters from the army really branded,—only marked with in- dolible ink as clothes are. We believe this is his first appearance as a humor- ist.” CricAGo now knows how it is horself. She is having a fight with the Chicago & Evanston railway and her city council, which reminds one very much of Omaha belt railway tactics, There was $100,000 put for the Chicago belt line, but the mayor vetoed the ordinance and put a stop to the job. Kenrtucky judges do not hold enviable positions so long as Tom Buford is at lib- erty. It will be remembered that he killed Judge Elliott a fow years ago on account of an adverse decision in a law suit. He was sent to an insane asylum, f£rom which he escaped, and it is now re- ported that he is out gunning for Judge Pryor. We advise the judges of Ken- tucky to increase their life insurance. Dowx in Yazoo the compliments of the season were passed between a number of oolored men and white gentlemen on Christmas. It is the first time in the history of Mississippi that the colored man's revolver went off before the white man's shot gun. The city council of Yazoo was called as a coroner’s jury, and they came to the conclusion that this lit- tle quarrel, in which several gentlemen " were killed, was due to a mere difference of opinion, Ix his lecture on America Oscar Wilde atates that the national game of this country is euchre, This shows that Oscar did not learn very much about America after all. He has done the United States an injustice in giving euchre the pre-eminency . ver poker. Oscar for- gets to mention anything about the bunko | game, to which he was introduced in New Yeork by Hungry Joe. It is very likely that he was a loser at poker, as he was at bunko, and hence he intentionally omits mention of those games. SHALL it be peace or war! That is the queation which agitates railroad men in this part of the country, as well as the business men. That the Towa pool is mear its end, everybody concedes. The only problemnow is whether the tripartite pool will take the place of the lowa pool, _or whether we shall have two pools, and ‘a war of rates, While this section of country has been compelled to sub. . to a good deal of extortion and un- just discrimination at the hands of tho - Xowa pool, a rate war is by no means de- DLER, in responding the toast, ““The Army and Navy,” ST 1 DAILY BE£--OMAMA, WEDNESDAY DECE MBER, 25, 1884 THE LABOR QUESTION, The question is now being raised in the east whether this country shall have protection against imported labor as well as against importad wares and commodi- tios. Some months ago when a large number of Italians and Russian Jews en- tered into active competition in New York, a revolt was raised among the freight handlers and dock hands in that city against this cheap imported labor. For weeks there were riots nearly every day in the streots of New York, but finally the excitement subsided, and the imported labor became Americanized enough to demand higher pay than they at first received. Matters were then equalized. And now we learn that simi- Iar labor troubles have arisen in the Connellsville coke region of Pennsylva- nia. War has been declared by the min- ers and laboring men of that section against the Hungarians and Slavonians, and'the cry has gone forth that ‘‘they must go.” A manifesto has been issued which charges these people with crowd- ing out the miners and laborers who are ostablished, and good citizens, from employment and homes. It is charged that they are extremely ,filthy in their habits, and live on what the American people cannot eat. Their habits grow worse the longer they stay, until they can no longer be endured. Their morals are said to be the lowest of any Cauca- sian rave, and their intelligence lower than that Jof the Chinese. Only about five per cent can read and write, and they will not become naturalized cit. izens, but with all the cash they can save they finally return to their own country. “These people,” says the manifesto, “‘are degrading American labor,are an in- jury to our commerce, and a blot on the commonwealth not to be endured. American labor as well as American manufactures must be protected.” Here wo have substantially the same complaint against white immigrants from southern Europe thathas been made by Denis Kear- ney and his followers against the Chinese ou the Pacific coast. And this brings us to the question, where is the line to be drawn? If any one class of peo- ple who come to this conntry to better their condition can underbid the labor of another class by reason of being more frugal, in food and dress, or by being ob- stenrious and able to save by living in wretched squalor, and subsisting upon what others would throw to the dogs, are they to be driven back? Can we estab- lish by any law or by any system of police regulation what men shall wear, eat and drink, and how they shall furnish their homea? This is not now a problem as to the Chinese alone, but with nearly all foreigners. There are Irishmeu who come to this country willing to live upon food that the American laborer rejects and willing to live in houses in which Americans would not stable their cattle, There are Germans, Scandinavians, Bohemians, Polanders, and people of all races and all climes crowding into our labor market, against whom the same complaint might be made. It is not the question of morals, nor of education, nor of naturalization, that is at the bottom of the outery against cheap imported labor. Dennis Kearney and his followers would not insist that the Chinese must go on ac- count of their ignorance or their low tions, if it wero not for the fact that the Chinaman enters the labor market at a greater advantage over the white man, because he can subsist on less costly food, dress in cheaper clothing, and work more hours than the white man for the same money. It is the conflict between cheap and high labor, and not between high and low morals, or between education and ignorance. To protect American labor and to keep up high wages it is no longer sufficient to exclude foreign man- ufactures by a high pretective tariff, be- cause a high protective tariff begets man- ufacturing monopolies and over- production, which in turn forces a suspension of manufacturing and keeps thousands of workmen unemployed dur- ing certain seasons, High wages for six months and no work for the balance of morals, or their refusal to vote at elec- fi TR, TR a1 o T g dict that the conflict will be fierce and farious from the vory outsct. The evi.| dent purpose of the speaker in choosing | pronounced protectionista from among the ropublicans in forming this com- mittee is to commit the republi can part from the vory start against tariff reform, If the repub- licans are stupid enough to fall into this trap, and adopt Judge Kelly's inflexible high tariff as a party measuro they will give the demoorat the inside track in the coming presidentialjrace., While it is true that a great majority of the republican party favor protection because that policy has been pursued by that party for more than twenty years, a very respectable portion of the party are outspoken in favor of tariff reform, thorough tariff revision and reduction of import “duties. This class of republicans are liable to stay at home or vote with the democrats, if the issue between tariff reform and high protection is forced. ‘TARIFF RE ] While many ef the old hacks and bourbons, who were educated in the pro- toctionist school of politics from the cradle up, seck to array the ropublican varty againat tariff reform there is a silent revolution going on among the republican the legislature should require the publi- ocation of the pass list every year after sdjournment, A comparison of votes with the freo rides would probably throw a flood of light on the winter's work, It strikes us that a comparison of the legis- Iative record with the dead-head list a year after the legislature has adjourned would be still more suggestive. Here in Neobraska many of the ‘‘honest” members make no use of their passes until after the legislature has closed its session. Turre are those who still lr;ok forward to the candidacy of General Grant as among the probabilities of the coming presidential campaign. Colonel McClure, of the Philadelphia Ziwes, stakes his reputation as a political weather prophet by the following assertion: It is Grant's ambition to be recalled to the presidency. He has defeat to atone, and I shall be greatly surprised if he does not become the foremost republican can- dilate for 1884 within the mext three months, He could not have made him- self a formidable aspirant, but southern sectional folly can do for Grant in a day more than all his friends could hope to achieve in a lifetime. The one obstacle to Grant entering the race is the proba- ble persistence of Arthur as a candidate in the present reasonable certainly of an olection; but with Arthur out of the way masses, This sentiment is not confined to the prairic states of the west, but is vapidly spreading among all classes of people in the manufacturing districts of Ohio and Pennsylvania. Ex-Congress- man John B. Rice, who represented Governor Foster's district in the last congress, has recently given utterance to the views that are taking root in northern Ohio in favor of a reduction of taxes by a revision of the tariff, according to Mr. Rice. The fol- lowing extracts from a letter to the New York IHHerald show what Mr. Rice thinks of the situation. To the question asked by the correspondent, whether the de- mand will be general in 1884 for a change in the tariff, Mr. Rice said: ¢1 have no doubt of it. The people have no other issue, whatever the poli- ticians may be fixing up for agitation. It is bound to come to the front next year and be agitated as it was in the Whig times, Then dprutwtiun was ag- gressive.” Now it is defensive, and with the demand for the reform of the tariff it will have hard work to hold its high points. Republicans must recognize not only the demand but the necessity for a reform of the tariff. The republicans have heretofore courted this issue, but it is no Jonger safe for any party. It should be adjusted ;80 as to preclude tinkering in the interest of parts of the country against the whole.” “What would you suggest as the way to get at this reform?” “‘What is necessary first is sincerity, and then to get the tariff adjusted on a low and equitable basis. = I found no principles of justice in congress entering into the acts on this important matter. Business men could adjust it, but the lawyers and politicians in congress vote to suit their selfish advancement with their constituents without concern for more than their own district or their in- terest in the vote of that district. With a tariff patched up for the many localities everything is too high, and the tariff is a burden to the thou- sands and a benefit to only a few. Take such a high-minded man as Senator Bayard; he would reduce the tariff on other things, but it must be kept up on matches and powder manufactured in Delaware. No less a statesman than Randolph Tucker insisted on reduction generally, but high protection for sumac athered by the negroes in the wilds of is district, a constituency that does little else than hunt and vote. The time is certainly ripe for doing some- thing. I hardly think yet be drawn on it. cannot ask the people to pay more for their cotton goods, woolens and grocer- ies than they are worth, and they are not ready to trust the democrats with any- thing less specific than a plain open pledge. The tariff should be taken off of such a commodity as sugar at once. It is leading to fraud. People are buying glucose for sugar and paying for it the price of sugar. The cost is one-third that of cane sugar. All candies are made of it, and it is the common article sold for sugar. It kills bees and may in- jure man. The stronghold of repub. iiolm in Ohio is the western reserve, and here the farmers and others are agi- tated on it. Their crops are failures this yoar., The hard times from the poor crops will be felt till after next November. They are concerned at finding prices the' year is worse than steady employ- ment at low wages all the year round. To maintain wages at uniformly fair rates there should be ns obastruction to com- merce by extravagant tariffs, At present our factories are over-stimulated, and when they produce more than they sell occasion to praise the steamers of American Steamship company as be- the only line of foreign steamers fly- the American flag. The gallant old ‘seadog, however, was struck amidships ust ot this point by Mr. Shortridge, or of the American Steamship com- pany, who interrupted him and said that is company was negotiating for the sale its ships, as they could not be made to ay under the American flag, but could under that of Great Britain, Mr, dge rather took the wind out of retary's gails, and we are told that hortridge's statement was not re- with applause, ———— Chineso are knocking the stufling Awerican eagles, They put ten gold pieces on a small lathe and a hard tool like a fine graver's tool hollow the middle as deftly as it is » to doit.

The minority, consist- ing of five republicans, namely, Kelly, of Pennsylvania; Kasson, of Towa; Me- Kinley, of Ohio; Hiscock, of New York, and Russell, of Massachusetts, are pronounced protectionists. Messrs. McKinloy, Russell and’ Hiscock are in full sympathy with Judge Kelly on all questions relating to the protective tar- iff, and will follow his leadership in op- posing the efforts which Mr. Morrison and his associates on: the democratic committee will undoubtedly make to re- dyce the existing rate of duty, claims to be & protectionist, but would favor further reductions of duty ona number of commodities included in the high when they havo nothing to sell, and 1 think this is tho situation throughout the ontire west, I heard them speak of it as an outrage that they should be so hard up and the government collecting from ,000,000 to $100,000,000 per year more than it needs by means of the oxtra price added to nearly everything in the market, and especially to the nec- essaries of life ” S——— Ex.Govervor Raven P, Lowe, who died at Washington Saturday was one of the Towa pioneers who rose to eminence by his sterling qualities as a citizen and public man, He was born in Mont- gomery, O., about 1805, and spent his early life in Ohio.

Checkered Life,” by Col, John A. Joyce, has just been published by 8. P, Rounds, Jr., of Chicago, The volume is bound in old gold cloth, over three hundred pages, and is illus- trated with chapter cuts, autograph let- ters of rare significauce, and a fine cut of the author as a frontispiece. The book treats of childhood and school days, experience as a lunatic, and the philosophy of insanity and treat- ment by attendants and dootors; early war days in Kentucky during the late rebellion, and a detailed history of the 24th Kentucky in all its marches, sieges, battles, defeats and triumphs; study of law in the office of Senator Allison at jocts, and the defiant speech made before a United States judge. At the conclu- sion of the narrative a few short poems are given for lovers of the ideal. There are fac-simile letters, pivoting on certain things, from Chauncy I. Filley, a busi- ness politician, Gen, F. E. Spinner, late treasurer of the United States, Gen. W. T, Sherman, ex-President Hayes, and an old letter from Gen. O. Babeock, touching the celebrated ‘‘Sylph” dis- patch, upon which Bristow had the gen- eral indicted. The reading public will be amused, astonished and instructed by a careful perusal of the volume, and gain wisdom for future private and public action, “‘The City of Success,” and other oems, by Henry Abbey, published by . Appleton & Co., New York, price 81.25, is an attractive volume. This collection of Mr. Abbey's poems will repay a careful reading. He is an Amer- ican author, and one who is destined to take a high place in the literary world. His verse is smooth and full of poetic sentiment, charmingly expressed. He sings of noble deeds and chivalrous men, acts of daring and bravery, and of men who have inspired the world. His chief object seems to be to set forth the praises of manliness and nobility of character in sweet and musical language. His poems invariably convey some useful lesson, founded for the most part on historic incidents. Refined taste and genuine sympathy with all that is beautiful and neble characterize Mr. Abbey's produc- tions.

Demorest's Monthly. In a Bessarabian province lives one Savtchuk, who at last accounts was 130 {am ole. Heis what is called a little Russian by birth. His eldest son is 87 years old, and is far more decrepit thau the father. The one family Mas multi- lied into 50 families. The age of thi ussian is, of course, not as well authen. ticated as that of eld Parr, the English- man, It has been noted that reported cases of extreme old age always occur in the ranks of the very poor, whose date of birth can rarely be verified, while kings nobles and members of the noted families whose records are kept, in no age or country have ever lived 100 years. Generalizing from this fact, a diatingl\iuhed English writer, Mr. Lewes, ives it as his judgment that 1t is very fioub(ful it any human being can claim the distinction of being a centenarian. Yet from the analogy of the animal races, every child that is well born should live acentury. The rule seems to be that animals live five times the length of their s | adoleacence, that is, they ought to live five times longer than the period it takes to attain their full growth. There is no uestion but what the whole human race oes not enjoy the health and vigorwhich it is possible to attain. There is some defect in the constitution of even the strongest of our race. In the golden age of humanity yetto come, every child will be well born. Its life and habits will conform to the scientific laws controlling our existence on this earth, and then man’s environment will help him to achieve the highest possible phys- ical vitality. To-day the great buR{ of of the human race are born with weak strains in their blood. Thev eat im- sropar food, use hurtful stimulants as rink, They are peisoned by malarias subject to contagions due to their sur- roundings. The two great objects of the best men and women in this life should be firat to improve the race itself, mor- ally and physically, and secondly, to maks this earth on which man lives a fit abode for the superior people who will then occupy it. e — ‘Wei De Meyer.
