( . DISSOLVING MARRIAGE TIES, The Beedy Side of Human Oharacter As 8een In the Divoroe Court. A STORY OF TWO FRAIL WIVES, Differences In the Brick Making Trade — Experience With an Affectionate Dog that Wouldn't Drown, IPROM THE BER'S LINCOLN RURRAU.] The mere fact that people live together and sustain intimate relations, even for years, is not always good proof that they know each other thoroughly, In no manner is this botter illustrated than by the rocords of the divorce courts, The allegntions often made in petitions for a severance of the marriage bonds, it handled by a eynic, would go far to show the uncharitable condition that mon, and women, too, are base, vile, double-faced creatures, whose chief aim in life seems to be to wrong and deceive those who should be nearest and deurest to them. In this conncction the application of Willinm O. Brown for a divorce from his wife, Mary, filed in the district court yes- terday is expressive. The Browns were married at Mount Pleasant, Towa, on the 19th duy of November, 1870. For eight yours and over everything went well, until one day in January, 1878, Mrs, Brown met n man named Huddleson, with whom, her husband alleges, she committed aduitery, and has been guilty of like improper conduct at various times since. In the ar, which seems to have bad one for Mrs. Brown, she [ od of wandering_in the paths of sin with one Burnett. “Her conduct became so bad that Brown left her late in 1878, and now applies for | | separation and the ody of two cnildren aged 9 and 11 of whom he mother, owing to her gross nature, is nota fit uardian. Another child, born to Mrs. Brown in 1880, two years after the plai tiff' had left her, he does not scem to e about. Of a smilar nature is the case of Edward He k who wants a divorce from his w Flaurie. This couple had been married for a long time, and lived together in peace and unity until May Just when, Mrs, Heacock went astray. with Sporza R. Colby, unmindful of her uty to her husband and her four children. Once in a while the defendantsin a di- vorce suit will fight back, but not often. They generally mim to keep the case from going to trial,and give a silent con- sent to the proceedings by allowing the plaintifl’ to get a decree by detault. This is done often when the defendant insists that there is really no cause for com- int, a8 in the Jumes case, where Mrs. James, while denying every allegation in_her husband’s petition, says she is willing and even anxious to have him get a separation. A FALSE REPORT. At a recent meoting of the Bricklayers’ Union the scale for the coming season was fixed at fifty cents an hour, or $4.50 per day of nine hours. This is an ad- vance of 10 per cont on wages ruling last :ar. Contractors have as yet not signi- flcd whether they will pay the advance or not, but a number of parties who had intended buildicg have postponed all negotiations. 'ha paragraph above appeared in yes- terday morning’s Journal. Later in the day & committee of journeymen bri layers came to the BEE oflice” with uest that the real facts as printes Tuesday’s BEE should Be republished in order that the people can sce that there is no strike, and no danger of one. These facts are about as follows: Three months. o the bricklayers served notice on their employers that on and after May they would demand $4.50 for nine hours work. As a consequence all contracts have been figured for on that basis, and employers are fully pre- pared to pay the price asked. Indeed nearly every contractor in the city has avowerl his intentions ot doing so. “That there is no brickwork in progress just n wf‘s on account of the wet weather, w?uc h has made the building of founda tions difficult, and put the ronds in _such shape that the hauling of brick is im- possible. 'There is no strike 1 Lincoln and none is anticipated, both men and employers being anxious to avoid one. A NOVEL DOG HOUSE. Wednesday evening while entering the yard at his home on Tenth street near the university, Mr. George Schemmer- horn was intérrupted by a dog that had evidently been instructed to look out for late comers. Not caringto arguethe matter with the canine stranger, Mr. Schemmerhorn made a break for the house closely followed by the dog. Directly in tho path standsa well, sur- rounded by a high board ecurb. Mr. Schemmerhorn, of course, dashed around the curb, but the dog in his haste to get him essayed F flying leap 801088 it, Much to Mr. Schemmerhorn's relief at the time, however, the animal miscalcu- 1ated the distance and dropped into the well, Yesterday morning Mr. 5. went gaily forth to fish up the corpse, smiling almost audibly at the thought of how the wretched cur{uul been punished for his « bad manners. Greatly to his surprise however, when he glanced down the well, the impish dog, sticking his head out of & hole in the side just above the water line, yelped out a “good morning.” The ani mal, it scems, after taking a bath, had excavated a hole in the earth, and made himself a comfortable nest. All of Mr, Schemmerhorn's efforts to coax him out were futile, and now that gentleman is in conference with his friends as to the best meuns of getting rid of the unwelcome lodger. Mr. Schemmerhorn insists that he hus no use for a well with a dog in it, and wants to know what he is going to do aboutit. Jeft Glass, the landlord at tho Windsor, has suggested that Schem- merhorn have himself lowered into the well, and let the dog take a good hold of his logs, when both can drawn out, Montrose, the other Boniface, wants to amend this by ing the rope cut after the dog sets his teeth in Schemmerhorn, ond send them both to the bottom, Neither plan has been patented, BRIEF MENTION.

B Emerson, THE NATIONAL CATTLE TRALL A Proposed Gigantic Land Grab Which Ought.to be Summarily Squolch OBERLIN, Neb., April 30.—To the Editor: I noticed a fow days ago in the Washing- ton dispatches that a bill has passed the United senate, granting for a period of ten years all of range 41 west for a national cattle trail from Texas to Mon- tana. Range 31 west is the wes! of Nebr: includs ern boundary and eastern Colorado, and cultural states. To permit the cattle kings of Texas to oceupy this range of land for the purposes named in the bill, is to virtually drive out the hundreds and thousa nds, I might say, of homesteaders who have located ure now on their way to settle and py Dundy, Chase and_other border counties of Nebraska. And why our Nebraska senators should allow such a bill to pass without a vigorous effort on t part to defent is something they —may have to explain 1o these people Kansas has said, *No, you can’t bring t;our diseased cattle and murderous cow- oys on our soil,” and as Nebraska has had enough of her men killed, crops de- stroyed, and settlers driven off, it is time she, too, should say to the cattlc monopo- lies, keep away. But, says thé cattlemen, “‘we only want a strip six miles wide and want that little only ten years.” To grant this would be giving away at least thirty miles on each side of range 41, for we all know that the millions of cattle that would an- nually pass over this trail could not be kept for weeks and months on a narrow strip of land only six miles wide, And woe'be unto the settler who would inter- fere to protect himself, family, and crops from the large herds that would scatter all over the land, and the savage-like Mexican cow-boys in charge of the herds, £ it is de: ble, or if it is the wish of our national law-makers to vunish the hardy pioneers who are doing all they can to make themselves comfortable on the frontier, they can succeed beyond a doubt by establishing a national cattle trail along the westein borders of Kansas and Nebraska, as provided in the bill in question, A small-pox hospital on every section of land in this proposed cattle trail, would not retard sutt‘cmeut or keep set- tlors in 80 much drend as to again turn this land over to the cattlemen of Texas. The people so far as 1 can learn, are bitte: opposed to the bill and wish to see it defeated in the lower house. J. W. PEARMAN. e o How Spong! re Prepared. Alta California: Previous to about 1850 the Bahama Islanders cared little for anything that was more tame than wreck- ing. That was the favorite business of both men and women, who thought vir- tually nuthinm of pursning the ordinary methods of obtaining a livelihood. But when the number of wrecks were less- ened by the erection of lighthouses and the substitution of steam for sailing craft, the islanders gradually turned their at- tention to the cultivation of the soil and the explorations of the depths of the sea. Tho outcome became two fold. The two industries that sprang up were the pine- apple business and the sponge trade, w'hich are now of such importance that they bring considerable money into the colonies, and furnish steady and lucra- tive employment to several thousand;per- the measure sons. When the first sponges were taken out they were commercially divided into two classes, the coarse and fine, worth 5 and 10 cents a pound. Now there are recog- nized to be nine classes, which, in order of their values, are sheep wool, white reef, velvet, dark reef, boat, hard head, vass, yellow and glove. Of some of these varieties there are several grades. Bahama ann Florida sponges are about of the same value, but they are hoth rated in the market as inferior to those of the Mediterranean. Previous to the rebellion, the amount of sponge guthered annually scarcely exceeded one ton., and it was worth on an average $36 per 100 pounds. There are several hundred sponge craft, each of cight or ten tons burden, and carrying from six to twelve men. Though these vessels merely const along the banks and among the reefs, they carry six weeks' supply of provisions and do not run under lee cxeept in case of a storm. The spouges are found where the water is shallow and are to he seen growing on the roc They are caught by diving or by means of iron hooks fastened to slender I)olud, When first bronght to the surface they are black, gelatinous and soft, for the sponge proper is only the skeleton of & jelly-i sea apimal, ~ The catch, spread on the decks of the vessels, dics and the living coverings docay, emit- ting » horrible odor in decomposing. When & cargo is secured tho vessel puts in at its home bay and the sponges are placed in a pond of stakes, at the water's edge, where the action of the tide tends to remove the black coyering. The pro- coss ts comploted by pounding by hand, and thoy are strung on strips of palmetto, each strip having four sponges, and be: ing called & “boed " A cargo of “‘beed’” is worth from $10040 $309, and the sales and handling are suh.-mntinll[y controlled by the Nussau Sponge Exchange Com- pany, limited, which is chartered and makes 1egular exchange sales. After the sponges are clipped to good shape, they are put to souk in vats of lime-water, and after several hours are dried and bleached in the sun. Nextday they are pressed into bales, each 2 by 8 foof, and weighing 100 pounds. These balds, when Inensed in' bagging and strongly corded, are roady for shipment. All (l:flho work, from eatching to ship- ment, is done by native blacks. Near all either the United States or England. . ——— A wonderful eleotric clock that runs without winding, is not affected by the atmosphere, cannot vary, and can be sold for one-half the cost of the ordi- nary elock, been inveuted by Mr, Huseey st Menlo Park. THE OMAHA DATLY BEE; FRIDAY, STRIKES AND ARBITRATION, T. V. Powderly Gives His Views Upon the Future of Labor. REDUCE TEH HOURS OF WORK, There Must be Arbitration—The Right to Organize—The Strike and the Lockout. Tte North American Review for May: The prospect for the future of the labor- g man in America is brighter to-day than it ever was, notwithstanding the seemingly “strained relations” at vresent existing between employer and em- ploye. That we are passing through an epi- demic of strikes, lockouts and boycotts is true, but the fact must not he lost sight of that were it not for the growing pow- er of organization we should have a great many more strikes to contend with than we have had for the first three months of the present year. The growth of organization for tho last ten years has been steady and healthy, It is only wh organization is in its in- fancy t ious troubles such as strikes and lockouts exist. The causes from h strikes and lockouts spring are to be found in all parts of the country, but the methods of dealing with the troubles as they arise are different. In places where no organization exist, or where the seeds of orgamzation have not been planted, disputing parties are apt to be- come involved in strikes. The reasons advanced in support of that proposition are as follows: Until recently very workingmen dared to oxpress_ their oy ion in public on the subject of labor, for the reason that they were almost certain of an immediate ~ dismissal from the service of the man or company they worked for if it became known that they in any way favored the association of workingmen for mutual protection. With such a sentiment existing in the breasts of workingmen they orld ot bo d to feel vy indly toward th r who so jenlously watched tacir every movement and who, by his actions, made them feel that they were_regarded rather as serfs than fréemen. While the real bone and sinew of the land remained in enforced silence, except where it could be heard through the medium of ;}ho pross and rostrum through chosen leaders, another class of men who seldom worked would insist on ‘“representing labor” and in making glowing speeches on the rrghts and wrongs of man, would urge the ‘“‘abolition of property,” or th “equal division of W(-nltlll' ; such speak- ers very often suggesting that a good thing to do would be to “hang capitalists to lamp posts.” The em- ployer of labor who listened to such speeches felt that in suppressing organi ation among his workmen he was pe forming o laudable act. Yet he was by that means proving himself to be most powerful ally the anarchist could wish for. He caused his employes to feel that he took no interest in them other than to get as many hours of toil out of them for as few shillings as possible. The conse- quence was that the employer, who was himself responsible for the smothering of the honest expression of opinion on the t of labor became S ed of the 1dea that the raw head and bloody bones curbstone orator was the real representa- tive of labor, and determined to exercise more vigilance and precaution than_ever in keeping his ‘“‘help™ out of the labor society. Tho speaker who hinted or ad- vocated the destruction of property or the hanging of capitalis shrewd enough to speak very kindly and in a knowing manner of libor associa- tions, giving out the impression that he held momhnrshi‘p in one or more of them. Workingmen who were denied the right to organize very frequently went to hear M, Scientific lecture on the best means of handling dynamite. And when the srm\kcr portrayed the wrongs of labor the thoughtful workingman could read- ily trace a resemblance between the em- ployer painted by the lecturer_and the man he himself worked for. Workmen employed by those who frowned on labor organizations became sullen and morose: they saw in eyery action of the superintendent another innovation on their eights, and they finally deter- mined to throw off the yoke of oppr ion, orgamize, and assert their manhood. The actions of the superintendent or boss very . often tended to widen the breach between employer and employe, When the organization did come it found a very bitter feeling existing on both sides, ‘and, before studying the laws of the society they joined, or becoming con- versant with its rules and regulations re- garding the settlement of disputes or griovances, the workmen dotermined to wipe out of existence the whole system of petty tyrannies that had been practiced on them for years, Not being drilled in organization” and feeling that the em- ployer would not treat with them, the only remedy suggesting itself was the strike. And, on the other hand, the em- ployer, who felt that every move of his workmen in organization “would be di. rected against his interests, determined to take time by the forelock and turn them all out on the street. Thus we find the organization in its infancy face to face Wfill a strike or lockout, & This condition of affairs existed ina reat many places throughout the United States in “the beginning of the present enr. Absorbed In the task of getting arge dividends, the employer seldom in- quired of his superintendeut how he managed the.business intrusted to his keeping or how he trented the employes. In thousands of places throughout the United, many superintendents, foremen or petty bosses are interested in stores, corner groceries, or saloons. In many places the employe is told plainly that he must deal at the store, or get his liquor from the saloon in which his boss has an interest; in others he is given to under- stand that he must deal i these stores or saloons or forfeit his situation, Laws have been passed in some states agamnst the keeping of company stores, but the stores are kept, nevertheless, and work- men are made to feel that they must patronize them. In many cases the owners of mills, factories, or mines are not aware of the isten of such institutions as the pluck me"—the name applied to the company store—but they stand so far away from their employes that they can not hear the murmer of the eomplaint, and if a whisper ever does reach their ears it comes through the boss, who is not interested in the store but in keeping its existence & secret from his employ: The keeping of such stores is another source of injustice to workmen, for their existence tends to widen the breach be- tween employer and employe. It may seem that Iwm dealings with insignifi- cant things in ths paper, but when the statement is made that seven out of eyery ten superintendents or bosses are interested in the management and de- rive profits from the operation of stores which employes are forced to patronize 1 make an assertion which can be proved. In a country where every man, however bumble, is taught from fis infancy that he stands the equal of all other men, it is but natural for a citizen who is given to understand that he must patronize a certiin store, or that he cannot join a certain socicty, to fecl restive, and where much is promused and little obtained, men are apt to lose faith in a law-mak- ing systemi which obliges the workman himself to become complainant and pros- o poutor in_cases, where the laws are vio- lated mm, detyimont. 1f he does not prosecute for ififractions of laws but sim- p{;complnlnl he is told to inyoke the majesty of the #aw1n his own behalf. Tn this way law 1sdistegarded; it becomes & dead letter; men lose hope in law and lawmaker: & The constant iftching and irritation caused by the ind#fference of the employ- er to their welfare, and the injustice practiced on them by petty bosses, go on until men feel that” the only remedy s through the strike. In this way the men whn% long to no organization are launched into strikes. Workingmert: ate not, as a_rule, edu- cated mon. When the strike does come, while they feel' that they have been wronged, yet they are lacking in the command of language necessary to state their case properly to the world, and lence set forth their elaims in sucha way as to arouse ‘m-jml' es or create false impresions, The “other side having the advantage of education, either personally orby right of purchase, can and docs mold |v|fiyl|c opinion in a great many cuses. 1 have pointed out one or two of the little things which cause a great deal of uneasiness and vexation to the working: men; others have pointed out the root of that evil. The workingmen of the United States will soon see that he possesses the power which kings once held—that ho has the right to manage his own affairs. The power of the King has passed away. The power of the wealth i<]|- ssing awny. The evening shadows are elosing in upon the day when the immense private for- tunes can be acquired. The new power dawning upon the world is that of the workingman to rule his own destinies. That power can no longer be kept from him. How will he wield it The question is of great concorn not only to the workingman but to overy cit- izen of the republic, and the hand of it who loves his country tended to assist the new ruler. e no fears because of the present apparently disturbed condition of the labor world; on the contrary, the signs are very hopeful. Wendell Phil- lips once said: “Nover look for an age when the people can be quict and safe. At such times despotism is forging ne i The people’ are not quiet to-day, but they are . It is the power of ‘mono- poly thatis not safe. The men who pile up large fortunes must compensate for that privilege in the payment of a grad- uated income tax. The blessings which they derive from wealth must be shared by the nation from which they extract that wealth. The hours of labor must be reduced throughout the nation, so that the toilers may have more time' in which to learn the seience of solf-government. Labor- saving ma instead of making a slave of man, must become his seryant. How will the workingman wicld his power? Organized labor suys the power will be wi andled, but we must have the co operation of the vast middle classes. The employer and employed must no longer stind apart. The barriers of pride, caste, greed, hatred and bitter- ness must be torn down. T an and his emplo face; they must discuss every dot the management of the concerns th Jointly o')(-ru!ing. {No sacrifice of princi- pleon the one hand or of manhood on d attond such a transaction, ement of great a 1 grieyance, each trouble or whether!in relation to discip- line or wages, shotld be talked over in a conciliatory spirit ind arbitrated. Joint boards of x\l‘Litrutjun should be formed between manufactui over tho countey, Each party should de- vote considera kic time to the perfecting of the plans bedt snited to their interest or surroundings; for rules governing one case or locality might not work well in another. Having after careful deliberation agreed upon the rules, enci party should sign the articles of agreement, bindinj himself to abide by them until changed by consent of both. Agreements of this kind will be the means_of settling differ: ences ns they arise, and with their inaug- uration, strikes, lockouts and boycotts will not be entered upon so readily, and, if ever called into pha,\il then only "as the very last resort. .
