ROSEWATER, Editor. Wit the Republican plense answer Kayser's impertinent posers, O1 lamps and tallow dips are all the rage in Omaha since the late improve- ment in the gas-works. Tue lollu_w who writes Japanese lettors to the Herald, from Tokio, is probably living somewhere in Ohio, Oun contingent congressman, Pat O. Hawes, has taken his seat—in the lobby. There’s where ho is most useful. Tae American senate is degenerating.

Among the provisionsof this bill is a clause repealing the act granting the right of suffrage to the women of that territory. This has roused the wrath of women suf- fragists who meem to see in it a reaction- ary movement that would act as a fatal procedent toward repealing the woman suffrage laws in Wyoming and Washing- ton territories. The woman suffeage party state executive committee in Now York has issued a manifesto instructing the senators from New York to appose Mr, Edmunds’ anti-polygamy bill. This only affords a striking proof that women are practically unfit for the discharge of political duties. It is a notorious fact that polygamy in Utah has received its ther space, and all future communica- tions will be placed on a level withhome- made pootry. They will be consigned to the wasto basket. COMPETING WITH CONVICT LABOR. There has been a great deal said and written against the importation of cheap laborers from foreign countries, particulariy the Chinese, who work for almost nothing, live on what white peo- ple would not touch, save all they can, and finally return to their own country. The Chinese have been the objects of es- pecial warfaro for many years on the Pa fic const, and notwithstanding the oft- ropeated cry, “the Chinese must ge they are still there. 1In the east objec- tions are being made and constantly urged of late against the importation of paupers and cheap laborers from the chief support through woman sufirage. The bishops and elders of the Mormon church exert absolute control over their wivea and daughters. They go to the polls with wagon-loads of their wives, their sisters, their cousins and their aunts, and every ballot cast by the women simply records the will and wish of the Morman priesthood. The mormon woman outvote the gen- tile women more than ten to one, thus multiplying power which polygamy wields through the ballot box. Only a year ago last summer two of the woman suffrage agitators, Mrs, Young and Mrs, Wells, came all tho way to Omaha to take part in the grand woman-suffrage demenstration, They were candid to ad- mit to the editor of this paper that po- Iygamy was a religious institution which they believed to be right. These women are fair representatives of those of their sox who professgbelief in the mormon creed. To continue woman suffrage in Utah under such conditions would render in- offective all efforts to abolish polygamy through the machinery ot legislative en- actments, The woman suffragists in New York are doubtless opposed to polygamy in Six nunpren and seventy bills were | every shape and f""_“v b‘"' th_ey ‘?“ not introduced in the house on Monday, | ¥ant polygamy abolished if it will do Six hundred and fifty of them will re.|away with their pot hobby of sexual raain in tho pigeon holes. equality.

The next step will be for the company to sue for the amount of its bill in the ordinary way. The public knows only too well how common it is for gas companies to settle disputed bills by summarily taking out meters, and the Van Vorst decision will be a good precedent to refer to in Takixa it all in all, Omaha is one of the most solid business towns in Ame:- ica. During the year, which has been so disastrous to business everywhere, there have been only three failures in Omaha, amounting altogether to less than $20,- thickly populated countries of Europe. It is not likely that the immigration of poor people to this country from Europe will ever be restrained, as such restraint will be inconsistent with the principals of freedom on which this republic is founded. This country will ever remain the refuge of the down-trodden from the monarchies and empires of the old world. Chinese immigration, however, will probably be held in check. le slavery has been abolished in this country, there is still another class of involuntary servitude which is equal to slave labor. We refer to convict labor. The Chinese question and the cheap labor problem are not any more worthy of consideration than this sub- joct. People generally have but very little iden of the extent to which convict labor enters into our manufacturing industries, thus materially affecting commercial af- fairs and the labor market. Most of the convicts in our peniten- tiers are being worked at skilled labor under the contract system. They manu- facturo hats, boots and shoes, cigars, wagous, agricultural implements and ma- chinery, toys, clothing, and many other articles, which find a ready market at prices far below that of the free factories. This naturally destroys the value of hon- est labor, as no honest mechanic can compete with convicts under the present contract system. Nobody can successfully carry on manu- facturing in competition with convict labor. The free laborers have to be paid at living rates, while convict laborers are let to contractors for a mere song. The convict is fed, clothed and housed at the expense of the state, while the free la- borer has to pay the living expenses of himself and family out of his earnings, and in most cases, after he does this, he has little or nothing left. Admitting that the state should get the benefit of the proceeds of convict labor, no articles from the penitentiary factories should be allowed to go into the market for a less price than that of articles manufactured by free labor. The labor of convicts gauges to a great extent the price paid for other labor. So long as convicts are allowed to engage in manufactures so long will competing manufacturers find it difficult to profitably carry on their business. Several of the largest eastern hat factories have been ruined by attempting to compete with the products of the convict factories. If this result has been accomplished in one line of manufacturing by the contractors of con- vict labor, it is fair to presume that it can be done in almost any other line. The number of inmates of our peniten- tiaries is constantly increasing, and the question naturally arises what shall we do with them? It is a serious question, and one to be most carefuliy considered. In New York this matter is being taken up and disoussed, and the agitation in that state, as well as eolsewhere, may eventually result in a reform of the sys- tem of contract-letting of convict labor. In the Nebraska penitentiary there are future cases by hundreds of people who get their bills inflated by a process which only those initiated into the mysteries of gasometors can understand.

We do not deem A it advisablé"o give this subject any fur- B probably about three hundred convicts, and in less than five yeacs there will very likely be over five hundred. The state pays the contractor, William H, B. Stout, fifty cents a day for each conviet, and gives him tho labor of the convicts for nothing. In other words, the state has three hundred convicts to let, for whom it furnishes free lodgings, while the contractor draws fifty cents per man each day for food, and disposes of his labor as best suits hisin- terests. Three hundred slaves, whose board and lodging are paid for, are put into active competition with as many free men, who have to pay for their own liy- ing. Is it right for the state to force the working man into such competition? This is one of the social problems that must sooner or later be solved. It is safe to estimate that there are more than 80,000 convicts in the penitentiaries of this country. In California at San Quen- tin there are 1,600 convicts, who are really doing as much harm to degrade honest labor as the CLinese. But it is not the fault of the convicts. 1t is proper enough that they should be made to work, either in penal or reformatory in- stitutions, but it is essential and just that laws should be onacted to prevent the selling of convict labor in the labor market below the ruling price. If contractors will not hire such labor at the ruling price for freo labor, the state must devise means to employ the convicts, and see to it that their products from penitentiaries shall not undersell the products from the American factories. As a matter of justice, the state should set apart the surplus of the earnings of each convict, above the cost of his main. tenance, for the benefit of himself and his family, That would encourage con- victs to work, and give them the means, when they have served their term, to be- gin life again with some show of earning an honest livelihood, —— Taexe is nothing like having good OMAHA, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 9, 1884, backing. The bold stand taken by the Burlington in refusing to enter the new pool is explained by the fact that the Lincoln board of trade has passed reso- lutions endorsing the independent action of that road. Susser Cox and the bounding Bill Springer have coms up smiling, and ac. cepted the inferior places assigned to them by Speaker Carlisle. Mr. Cox will sot himseif in motion to navigate the American navy yards under the pilotage of that old son of & sea-dog, John Roach, and Bill Springer has taken the contract to straighten out all the kinks and crooks in the department of justice. PRESIDENT ARTHUR's special message to congress urging an appropriation for the protection of the lower Mississippi valley against disastrous inundation will doubtloss receive prompt attention. This is the proper season for pushing river improvements snd rebuilding levees be- low Memphis and the southern people will appreciate the president’s efforts in their behalf.

Tue barrel is nominated, Gentleman George is beaten, Johnny McLean is happy, and the Cincinnati Znquirer will jubilate. What an Ohio idee! Weaver on O'Donnell. Congressman Weaver has placed him- self on record as follows, in the “Irish World,” on the execution of O'Donnell. Circulars were sent by Patrick Ford, the editor of that firey sheet, to all members of congress, requesting their opinion: House oF RrpRE: PATIVES, | Wasuiseron, D, C. Mr. Patrick Forp:—* * * T have carefully read the proceedings in the case of the queen against Patrick O'Donnell, and from the inquiry addressed to the court by the jury, am of the opinion that had the court properly answered the jury by giving a clear statement of the law under the hypothesis assumed by the question and not have trenched upon the domain of the jury by the suggestion that no such state of facts existed, the verdict in mno event would been guilty. This is a clear case of judicial murder and a disgrace to Eng- lish jurisprudence. The irregular manner of impaneling the jury, the concealment of their identity, the regularity and knowledge of which facts are the most potent factors relied upon in this country to obtain justice, certainly tend but to the one proposition—namely, that but one side of the case was to be fully heard, and that the side of the government. If this be what the jury trial means in England it were better abolished, as affording no aid in the administration of justice. Assuming that Patrick O’Donnell was an American citizen, a gross insult has been offered to this government, which will probably be taken into consideration when our government shall be awakened to a sense of the duty towards American citizens, A. J. WEAvER, e —— Conservative Socialism, Chicago Tribune, It is singular but it is true that the ‘‘rights of property” and the ‘‘vested” immunities of corporations are much more strictly limited and the right of the public to share in their control and even their profits are more clearly defined and realized in the monarchical and aristocra- tic countries of Europe than in free cnd democratic America. This is true not only of the great railroad companies which in this country enjoy something like the license of trigandage, but of a great variety of enterprises, like street- railways, gas companies, electric-light companies, and telephone companies, and others which purvey io the needs of the community, The Gorman emperor claims that he holds a position of nearly absolute power, and that the lezislature is merely an advisory and ratifying body. What most Americans would expect to see as the re- sult of the exercise of such powers by a King would be the strongest kind of alliance between the supreme authority and countless rings of speculators for the accomplishment of schemes of consolida- tion, stock-watering, pooling, increase of charges, and obtaining of special privi- leges and immunities that would throw far into the shade the united efforts of our Huntingtons and Jay Goulds and their logislatures. But it is the opposite of all this that has occurred. To say nothing of the complete sub- jection of the German railroads to the state, which is too well understood to need more than a reference, other cor- porations whose functions are of public importance are kept under a discipline which in this home of the frec and the brave would be stigmatized as socialism of the most virulent type, and would be directly attributed by the capitalists in- terested in them to the ‘‘demagogery” (as Huntington said of Thurman when the latter passed a law for compelling Huntington’s corporations to pay a part of their debts to the government) of ad- venturers who were willing to bid m{thing for l[mpuhrity with the masses. When an elecric-light company, or a steam heating concern, or a gas company, or a (Chicago & Evanston) railroad wants to entira city it tezs such a charter as it wants from the common council and the mayor, and then pmoesd- to tear up the streets at its will, with not the slightest regard to the scant provisions which it graciously assumed to consent to for the protection of the community, It is not 80 in most Kuro) countries. The gas companies of ndon, for stance, are under parliamentary regula- tions a8 to every privilege xq have, as to their charges, and even their dividends. When the Edison Electric Light ecompany was recently admitted into Berlin, it was under restrictions for the profection of the rights of the people that, with all our boasted apparatus for the protection of the life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness of our citizens, it would have been impossible for us in the prosent state of affairs to exact. Bosides guarding sll the private rights of person and property that are so ruth- lossly overridden by our corporations, the German Government liu}:‘ud the charges and the J’"’fl" of the Edison company, provided for a liberal contribu- tion out of its receipts tothe public treas- ury, and stipulated that at the end of 'Jul::‘{un its plant should become the property of the municipality. - The recent request from the London = metrepolitan board of works to the English board of trade to withhold its approval from the proposed consolidation of two gas com- panies is an instance of the same kind of conservative socialism on British soil. The London Gaslight and Coke com- gany wanted to swallow up the South etropoliton Gas company. But beforo if could do 80 it had to ask the permission of the municipality. The consolidation will increase the profit of the condensed concern, and the board claim, quite so- cialistically, that part of this must go into the pockets of the public. The prices charged by the company to be ab- sorbed were by its charter regulated by parliament, and the London board de- clares that its tariffs ‘“‘embody the latest expression of the views of parliament” on this subject. This is a very shocking phrase. The idea that parliament should have any ‘‘views” as to the price to be charged by a gas company is very heterodox from the standpoint of the orthodox political economists and mo- nopolists who hold that “‘the laws of trade” must have their own way in the field of price, no matter what laws the consuming people might like to put in force to protect themselves. 1t does not seem a strained conclusion from facts like these that we have still something to learn with regard to the regulation of corporations, and .that the supervision which can be exercised in be- half of a people by aristocratic and mon- archical rulers ought to be within the powerof the governmentof the people by the people. o ——— PERSONALITIES, Sarah Bernhardt can do Hail Colombier bet- ter than most Americans, Mr. Bret Harteis a thin, nervous man, with restless oyes and delicate features, He i 45 years old. arl Spreckles of San Francisco is the sweetest man on earth.
