Bill Holman's party will never stultify itsclf by admitting his chief failing. STEADY, permanent, substantial growth is better than half a dozen spasmodic booms. Steady and permanent employ- ment of iabor at good wages is the solid foundation of a city’s continued prosper- ity and advancement, Omaha must have more manufactures. The city treasurer of New Brunswick, N. J., who 1s also treasurer of the Dime Bavings bank of that city, is said, ina special dispateh, to be suffering from “acute mania” at his home, while the bank is suffering from a deficit of about £80,000. ‘‘Acute mania” is the polite name in New Jersey for stealing.

He has placed his party in an awkward position by forcing a vote upon his nation to expel the royal from: Yiunco, and his enemies are now circulating a report that he has made a large fortune from jobbing in govern- ment contracts, M. Clemeneenu suffers, 0o, from the gradual subsidence of that political clement in the republic which has been ¢ sponsible for the cesses, socinl and political, which have marred its history. SEVERAL of our busing men haye a wrong idea about the encouragement of local manufactures. They are willing to assist in aiding great mills and factories in locating in our midst, but do not care to bestir themselves in securing small en- terprises. If an establishment employing .o thousand men were to seek encourage- ment they would readily put their shoul- ders to the wheel and help to start the ball a rolling, but they turn a cold ear to the arguments of men who are prepared to plant an industry with a pay roll of loss than fifty, Thisis a mistaken policy. A large number of small factories are better for the stability and growth of a clty than a fow large ones. Every labor employing industry is valuable in build- ing up the material intorests of the com- munity. The more diversified the indus- tries of any scction the more assurance ‘there is of permanency in the employ- ment of labor. Small tactories in time become large enterprises. Not many ars ago our smolting works which now employ 400 men, found it bard work to give employment to fifty. nices RE proposition to remove Fort Omahu to another location where the post can be = B gxpanded and improved will meet with i " wme of ability to procu eral favor. 7 ds upon which aew stands are much too small fora garrison such as the importance of the wity and its relutions to the western eountry demands.

They Should Be Free to All An inquity into the operation of the telegraph lines on the land grant roads has been begun in congress under a reso- lution introduced by Anderson of Kansas, who is an unflinching opponent of all forms of corporate monopoly. The reso- lution passed by the houso directs the committee on postoffices and postroads to investigate and report whether legisla- tion is needed to prevent a monopoly of telegravh facilities and to give the south- ern, western and Pacific states the ben fits of competition. Under their charters all the land grant roads are required to operate their telegraph lines under the same restrictions as to the rights of com- mon carriers that they do their rails This assumes that there shall be at least the same frecdom in regard to the car- ringe of intelligence that there is with the transportation of property. As com- mon carriers, the Jand grant lines can- not refuse to accept goods from the other roads for transportation over their own. The object of the clause in their char- ters, compelling them to build, maintain and operate telegraph lines, was to afford the public the benefit of wires which ~wonld mnot be placed un- der the exclusive control of any private monopoly. As a matter of fact the land grant roads have long since sub- stantially transferred their telegrapn franchises to the Western Union com- pany, and by so doing have given to that closost of all private monopolies exclu- sive control of the transmission of intelli- gence over a large portion of the west. The Western Union refuses to receive business from ofher companics on fair terms, ana through its use of lines built with government loans is foreing many newspapers into making exelusive con- tracts to transact all their business over its wires. Mr. D, H. Bates, ident of a competing line, lied hefore the comiittee thut he had used every eflort {o sccure from the Union Paci railroad the same fac enjoyed by the Western Union but had wiled, and thatnoother tel ph company could obtain any faeilities west- ward over its lines from Omaha and Kansas City, The land grant companies in their operation of their telegraph lines have shown their usual d rd of their charter requirements. The intention of the clause relating to the telegraph was clear] to prevent the exclusive occupation of the lines by any one company. The mm of congress was to prevent monopoly of the fransmission of intellizence and to sccure equal rights to all com- panies conneeting with the wires of the land grant roads. The charter requir ment has been steadily avoided and dis- obeyed. The chicanery of contracts with inside rings, of mortgages and bonding of transfers back and forth between par- ties interested, has been freely used to perpetuate the grip of the telegraph monopoly upon the wires of the land grant roads constructed by the nation’s bounty to be operated for the interests of the publie. Congress intended that the wires should be as free to all as the rails are to connecting roads. 1t is specific ally so stated in the charter which it gave to the company and under which the roads and telegraph lines were accepted. The deliberate and continued evasion of the terms of this contract between the nation and the Pa- cific roads isa proper subject for a searching investigation. The surface needs only to be seratehed to prove all of Mr. Anderson’s charges. Arbitration the Remedy. Intelligent and thinking men, whether capitalists or laborers, will endorse cor- dially the views of Master Workman Powderly of the Knights of Labor with regard to the value of arbitration. mr. Powderly boldly asserts that the majority of strikes are needless. He says that they menace returning prosperity, and that thoy mpy cause widespread suffering with but little compensating gain. In his judgment arbitration could be se cured in nine out of ten cases where strikes take place, if those concerned showed more tact and less temper. Strikes, says Mr. Powderly, aro weapons for only in cnses of urgent If used too often they lose i This is the verdict of experience. It is level, common sense from a level-headed man. The vast ma- jority of all labor disputes can, and should be, scttled by a peaccful conference be- tween the employer and the employes. Many labor troubles have proved to be the rosult of misunderstandings on the one side or on the other, which arbitra tion has promptly removed. Arbitration is simply diplomacy—the clfort to secure the object sought without resort to war, It is an inexpensive remedy. A strike or lockout is always & costly one. Labor has its rights, and is properly combining o defend them from assault. Against ¢ he vast consolidated interests of capital labor is now opposing an organization powerful cnough to make its demands felt and to resent unjust aggressions upon its interests, The size of the Knights of Labor order is its strongth, It can en- force its own decrces whether they be of peace or of war. For this reason the order ean do more than a large number of organizations of workingmen in foster- ing the principle of arbitration as a peaceful settler of labor disputes. It has alrendy done much in this direction, The work of the Knights of Labor has so far been beneficinl to its members and of great ue to the publie. It nas saved hundreds of thous- | ands of dollars vlaced in civeulution fn communities of working men, by prevent- ing strikes in mills and factories. At the same time it bas secured in every case whore the rights of labor were involved the victory for whichit w striving ‘Phe wants of the organization, of which the cool-headed Powderly is the chicf, lias proved boyond dispute that arbitra: tion is the b remedy for settling dif- rences between wage pay and wage SixoE 1884 the Standard oil company, one of the greatest monopolics on eurth, has had a special rate of 72§ cents per 100 ponnds from Chicago to California terminal points, while other shippers ve been obliged to puy $1.20, This is a fuir sample of the outrageous diserimin- ation that has been practiced for ye: by the railroads. The Standard oil com- pany would no doubt have continued for many years to enjoy this speeial tariff hadit not been for the breaking of the transcontinental pool, which has result- ed in rates much below that monopoly’s special vate, It remains to be -seen, whethe upon the readjustment of j the transcoutinental. - difioulties the Standard oil company will bo be restored to its former position asa special favorite with rates below all com- petitors. Is it any wonder that the Stan- circumstances has frozen out all compet- itors? What show has anybody to com- pete under such discriminations? Does it astonish anybody that the people are ripe for revolt against the high-handed robberies of railroads and the aggressions of monopolies generally? Is it not about time that an interstate commerce bill, such as has been presented by Reagan, be passed by congress for the relief of producers and shippers by putting them all on an oqual footing? A Strained Argument. 1r. Edmunds’ argument that all papers relating to oflice in their nature ofticial”’ under a station of the term, 18 a strained one. he distine- tion between oflicial and non-oflic responden cannot rest on any such broad basis. To admit it would force the conclusion that every letter addressed to senutors and congressmen regarding pul business by private citizens, is “oflicial” and subject to inspection on call. Custom and particular precedents unitein terming those letters official which come from official sources. Mr. Edmunds ignores this distinetion wholly, and he also ignores the fact that Mr. Cleveland's position is precisely similar to that taken s ago by Danic) Webster, then Presi- dent Tyler's seerctary of state. M Webster was called upon to make a ruling on the same point as that involved in the controversy which Mr. Edmunds has boen so carefully nursing, and is quoted as follows in Niles® Regist Applications for office or letters respeeting appointments or conversations held with in- dividuals on such subjects are not official proceedings, and cannot by any means be made to partake of the ¢ ofticial nroceedings, unless aftec the nomination of such person o writing or conversing, the president shall think proper to lay such eo respondence or such conyesations before the senate. On another ocension Mr, Webster sa in the senate: ir, since the practice lias become o settled ractice, sinee every administration has in- dulged in it, and sinee it must now be consid- cred as the legal construetion of the constitu- tion that it1s one of the po dent to remove incumbents from which they hold, it follows, as u necessary and as an inevitable consequence, that this power thus legally vested in the president must be exercised by him as independently of our control us any otner power that is to be exereised by him under the constitution. * * And Isee no ground upon which we ean call upon him to give vs reasons for the manner in which he excrcises that power any more than we can eall upon him to give reasons for the manner in which he exercises ¢ other power under the constitution. Mr. Edmunds is respeetfully referred to the opinion of ns great a constitu- tional lawyer as himself. The claim which he makes is a strained one through- out. Itisone which has not the backing in the precedents fixing the relations of nate and the exccutive which he s to establish. All the co-ordinate 'ts of the government have their pre- atives. They do not conflict when properly exercised. Mr. Cleveland scems to know his own in the present little dif- , and the senate is powerless to ssail them with anything more violent than the battery of debate. Moderation Will Win. The industrial situation throughout the country is much disturbed by the succes- sion of strikes and lockouts of the past fortnight. The organs of capital arc combining to convince the public that labor has organized to clog the wheels of enterprise and to exact demands which, if granted, would close the doors of mills and factories and draw the fipes of furnaces and forees. Their readers are 101d that the state of the markets will not permit a general advance in wages, and that the scenes of 1877 will be re peated if laboring men do not withdraw from their aggressive attitude toward em- ploying capital. The public will not be deceived by the comparison. The situation in 1836 is vastly diflerent from that of nine years ago. The industrial revolution of 1877 was a mistake, because it wus made on a falling labor market. It failed because all the conditions of the period were against continued overproduction. Man- ufacturers had overstocked the mar and could better afford to close their doors than maintain their expense rolls. To-day, after a long period of depression, industry is reviving. The market is short. Demands upon the manufactur- in many lines are heavier than their The market is rising. The abor market is also advancing and labor demands a share in the increased profits of capital. There is only one danger “which is now menacing combined labor, That danger is over-confidence and a rash and need- less display of its power. Moderation will win, Wages are being voluntarily advanrced in all the manufucturing cen- ters of the east. The arbitration com- mittee of the Knights of Labor have already settled more than a hundred di putes between employers and working- men without the loss of a day’s work to the moechanics involved. Every such victory helps organized labor. It draws to the support an unorganized pub- lic. It shows the power of com- bined labor in the strongest possible light. Strikes and lockouts are forms of social warfare and war is always a seri- ous business and & costly busingss, It means loss of propierty and {\msu' time. It infliets injury uffoh every community from which the warriors are taken, A victory won by war is an expensive one if the same terms could have been secured by diplomacy. Moderation is a tramp card in any controversy. It will be the winning card in the present labor trou- bles if played by men of cool heads and clear judgments QUEEN VICTORIA insists on reading and correcting personally the proof slins of the Court Circular.
