Baker has defeated Morrison twice betore, although it was a long timo ago, and probably no manin that district could do it again but Baker, He is an ablo man and very populay, and is making a very strong canvass, Added to this 1s the fact that Morrison’s friends have grown lukewari, and are not giv- mg him the mssistance of former days, pithor in personal service or money Protectionists from abroad are worrying him on account of his persistent offorts in the direction of free trade, snd his party friends are disafegted by the nian- ner in which hedispensed his oflicial pat ponage. Mu is vonsequently feeling very blue over his prospects, and to his inti- mate friends has expressed grave fears dbat he will be defeated.

There can be no other finul solution of the vrob- lem. while it 18 and erritory is being met by wh of these ch is striking north o county from Wahoo the counties and the [ line Criminal Conspiracies. During and since the trial and convie- tion of the anarchists i Chieago, Mil- waukee and New York, the people all over the country have had their atten tion specially dirceted to the laws on conspiracies, and doubtless it was a sur- prise to many to learn that, while these socialist and anarchist erimes were new to this country, our law makers had had the forethought to provide for their pun- ishment should these enemies against society, after being driven trom their own countries, attempt to continue their work here. The punishment adjudged by the courts in New York and Milwaukee is now being administered, and not been appealed from. The sentences passed in Chicago will doubtless be ap- L to the supreme court, und if there ustained, the unfortunate men will hus proving that the laws made before any such crimes had been committed here are nevertheless fectual for their punishment. But in another fleld of conspiracy our law makers have also been provident, yet, although these crimes have often been committed, the laws w pumsh them have rarely been invoked. We refer to combinations of capitalists to control the production and so determine the price of the necessaries of life. Such combinations are no less conspiracics against the people beeause they aim at extortionate profits, than if they aimed at destruction of life and property. The crime differs only i degree, not in kind. For years the “pooling,” or combimation system has boen spreading, until in one shape or another it pretty nearly touches all the social interests and conditions of Iife. So fur as {t atfeets only the output of mails or iron or whisky, the poor are not made to sutfer, except by depriving portion of employment. and as to whisky, all restrictions on production are a pub- lic benefit. But when great coal com- panies combiue, as they often have, to greatly restrict the output by reducing the days or hours of work, or by closing mines altog-ther, they not only take food from the mouths of miners, but enhance the cost of living of every laboring man within the field of their operations, whatever his employment may be. Notwithstanding there has long been a law against such combinations in Pennsyl- vania, another agreement has recently been made by nune owners to restrict output and thus enhance the price of coal at the approach of winter. The court of quarter sessions of Philadelphia decided in 1881 that “‘all combinations to increase the cost of anything bought and soid are oruminal conspiraoies,” and as such are punishable under the law. This decision makes the law very comprelionsive in its effoer, and if general would punish *‘cor- ners' in grain i Chicago and stocks in Wall street. The supreme court of Pennsylvania has also declaved that a combination to eontrol the output of cosl and to determine prices thercof to be illegal as agaiust publie policy Horc is one state, nt Jeast, with law enough to protect the people against extortion in the nocessaries of life, if it wus only en- torced generally and as often as the offences were committed, In Chicago the milk men have a com. hination which, by lovying a tax of over 13 per cent on the members of the union, groatly restricted the supply during the summer months, and now they have just agreed to add a further tax of more than 6 per cent during the winter, In their own language, they have reccived $500 per day more for the amount of milk they Lave allowed to cote into Cuieage than it would bave sold for inthe absence of any combination. And in order to secure the additional levy, which, on the same basis, will amount to nearly $2,50 a day or $900,000 & year, they openly urged the destruction of the milk ter a time rather than allow its sale at less than the upion price. Here we recognize an important field for the Knights of Labor te oceupy. Let them especially inquire into the laws re- lating to criminal conspiracies in state.

He should rogister carly and note whether his name appears in the published list. 1f it doos not, he ought to learn the reason why, At the last oloction many voters who neg: lected to register or who counted on see- ing their names on the books beeause they had registered a year before failed to vote atall. Their baliots were refused atthe polis and their aflidavits of rvesi dence were not aceepted for the good rea negligence had dis vote, exouse to the is given judges of should see to it son that their own franchised them. There has been too much laxity about this matter of registration vight here Omala, and the julges of election are only performing thew duty when they deciine any aflidavits of voters except those based on sickness as an excuse for not registerimg' For this reason a per sonal visit to the ward registrars whoso places and times of session are published will be necessary.

Make sure yourself that yon will have the right to vote on the 2d of November Other Lands Than Our: Much excitement has been ereated European circles this week by the dis. closure of the fact that Russia and Tur key ere aeting in complete concert on the Bulzarian question. On Wednesday Gadban Effendi, the Turkish representa- tive, informed the Bnlgarian mimstry that he has been instructod to act in con cert with General Kaulbars, the Russian agent, whose arrival at Sofia, Gad f- fondi announced he wonld await before making for Turkey detinite proposals to Bulgaria, strongly advising the ministry, however, in the meantime, to concede the Russian demands and postpons the meeting of the great sobranje to ‘clect a successor to the Bul- garian throne. As soon Gadban Effendi’s informution was received a specinl eabinet council was held to con- sider what he had presented. The result of this council w that Gadban Effendi informed that the Bulgarian govern- ment would no more brook Turkish than it would Russian interference, but would resist both, with the comforting convie- tion that any misfortunes likely to over- take Bulgarin would never compare in ousness with the retribution awaiting the infatuation of Turkey. This dis- closure of Russian intrigue with her old enemy was a startling revelation to the Bulgarians which has not been decreased by the massing of ‘Turkish troops on the Bulgarian fronticr. The report was current at Sofia t the ezar had made an arrangement with the porte, the czar guaranteeing the integrity of the sultan’s dominions, reducing the Turkish war in. demnity, and obtaining permission to garrigon and fortify tho Dardanclies and i:. occupy Bulgaria with Russian and Roumelia with Turkish troops. Such an arrangement would be of course out of the question. It would be an open violation of the treaty of Berhn which guaranteed th udence of the Balkan principalities and as such would be resented by Europe, in as sel ¥ Meantime the election of a new prince approaches the excitement in- cre The Bulgarian regeney have publishtd & decree convening the sobranje or great national as- sembly on October 27 to select a successor to Alexandria. Russia and Turkey have each protested against the session, and officially urge its inde- finite postponement on the ground that the delegates chosen are unfriondly to the czar, and that no eandidate for the throne bas as yet been selected by the great powers. Paris dispatches assert that the three empires have come to un understanding that Russia shall not oc- cupy Bulgaria, and that Austria and Germany shall not regognize either the regency or the prince elected by the sobranje without the assent of Russia, while advices from Vienna deny Aus. trian knowledge of any such concession to Russian dictation, The crisis is evidently approaching which will determine the peace of Europe for the next six months or until the disappearance of the snows from the Balkans plac Russin in a position to move her armies toward the gateway of Turkey and the goal of hor ambition, e The situation in Ireland, which may be described as » suspension of hostilities, although o few landlords continue to evict, is an overwhelming argument in support of the justice and need of Mr, Parnell's land bill which the government s0 contemptuously rejected.

Briefly told, the history of this plan to hand over the country to Tilden and democracy is as follows In 1876 Nebraska elected Silas A Strickland, Amasa Cobb and A. H. Connor presidential eleetors by a vote of 31,516 08 against a vote of 16,054 cast for the Tilden and Hendricks electors. After the eloction it was discovared that the 53 of this vote could not take place the then existing law before the islature conven The electoral vote had to be canvassed in December at the latest, and the reguinr sion of the legislature did not begin until January. In order to make a legal canvass of the clectoral returns, Governor Garber ealled a speci of the legislature to convene on the December, *76, at Lincoln, for the Wwassing the electoral vote of the state, The demoeratic effort to c: ture republican electoral votes is histos ‘Tilden’s friends, notably Dr. Miller, had been plotting for the capture of .one of the electors from Nebraska, and it 1s also historie that a lurge bribe was offered to one of the electors, General Strickland. The call of the lc ature broke into the plan of the plotters, and they found a will ing and reckless tool m Chureh Howe, When thelegisluture convened at the eapi- tal,Chureh Howe tiled a protest which may found on vages 6, 7and 8 of the Ne aska House Journal of 1877, The fol- lowing extract makes interesting reading *1, Chureh Howe, a member of the legisl ture of Nebraska, now convened by procl mation of his excelleney, Governor S nable session hof pur- pose of Ne- ors for president and vice sident of the United States, hereby enter my solemn protest against such act, denying thiat the governor has power to call this body in special session for any such purpose, or that this body bas auy authority to canvass or declare the result of such voteupon the following grounds: First. This lezislature now convened hav- ing been elected under what is known as the old constitution, Las no power to act in the premises, the new constitution of the state having been 1 foreo since November, 1575.” The second and third clauses deal with techni objections and are somewhat lengthy. The concluding sentences of this precions document are as follows: “For the foregoing reasons I protest against any canvass of the clectoral yote of the state by his body, and demand that this, my protest, be entered upon the journal.” (Signea) Church Howe, member of the legislature of Nebraska. The democrats did not respond to the call of the governor and there was barely a quorum in the senate, while there were several to spare in the house of which Howe was a member. The protest en- tered by Howe was doubtless prepared by the ‘lilden lawyers in Omahka and Howe had the glory of being the sole champion of Sam Tilden. The legisla- ture ignored Church Howe, spread his protest on its record and canvassed the electoral vote in spite of it. When the legislature convened in Jan- uary, 1877, the presidentinl contest was at 1ts height i Washington. Church Howe had ehanged places from the house to the senate. Barly in the session, a resolution was introduced expressing the conviction on the T of the senate that Hayes and Wheeler haying received a ority of the clectoral votes were en- titled to their sents, This resolution gave rise to a very lively debate which lasted two days, Church Howe asked to pe excused from voting when it first came up and was so excused. On the final passage of the resolution the record [page 376, Senate Journal 1877,] shows the following result: Yeas—Ambrose, MRS.

This she mailed with some misgivings as to the answer she would receive, but was destined to be greatly surprised and de ighted.

She told the usher who she was, and a card bearing her name was taken i to Mus Cleveland. What was her surprise, on being shown in, to be received in about the same manner ghe would have been welcomed by her mother. Little Ettio was given a warn hog and a kiss, and told she was very welcome, indeed She was quite dazed at this, but it was only a preface to more graciousness to follow. Hor hostess entered into con versation with her freely, and took great interest in hearing all about the child's home and home folks. She was then shown over the white lo nd given the unusnal privilege of being introduced mto the private apartments of Mrs Cloveland, whore she was entertained with every expedient that could amuse her. Shé was shown pictures, flowe and told about everything. In'this way two hours were consumed, and when the httle English lassie went back to her hotel she carvied with her two pho tographs ot Mrs. Cleveland, with hor autograph on each, and a picture of the president, together with many wishes for her good fortune. She recited the incidents of her visit rapturously, and her father was pleased by'the honor bestowed on his daughter'that he forthwith cabled the circumstances to his wife in Liverpool, who in turn confmunicated it to her circle of lady friends, all of whom united in sending o return message expressing their appreciation to Mrs, Cloveland for the favor she had shown the little English girl, and assuring her that she would enceforth ocenpy n place in their affections, and they would lways 'think of her with the me love they bore their sovereign.

Once in ptivity, 1t was learned that there wero seven of them, mostly young winte men of American birth, The vigilantes o ized a court and tried the prisonc due form, the result being a verdict of death as fo five of them, the other two be ing held for trial before the regular author 3. When preparations for tho Iynching had been made it was nearly ark, but the fow settlers near the scene had gathered and were silent witnesses of the proceedings. Thie and lynch crs wore alike strangors to all of them. apparently, and they offered no object ions. The doomed men were taken with their horses to convenient troes and there hanged with their own lariats. Just as the desperadoes had been left dangling there was a commotion in tho vieinity "of the place where the two pris- oners who had boen spared had been' Jeft bound, and all hands dashed thither to see what the trouble was, It was found that the two thieves had made an effort to escape, and that their guard had fired afow times, but no damage had been done. When the excitement which this affair had caased had died out it was after 8 o’clock, and the men went into camp where they were. Early the next morning the vigilantes with their prison- ors started for fi\ ashington territory, and the people hereabouts, some of ‘whom liad remained all night around tho trees where the lynching had ocenrred, pro- pared for the burial of the vietims, Some one finally suggested that one of the men must have got away, us he was sure that five were lynched, whereas only four were found hanging. As to this there was a difference of opinion. Several men were prepared to swear that thero had been only foar, while others were equally positive that thero had been five. The four dead men were buried beneath the trees where they had met death, and save by a few the dispute as to the num- ber of victims was forgotton. One man, an old fellow, living some distance from here, who had a daughter, a wild and dissolute girl, had heard o the missing man, and 'as the girl was missing also he had his suspicions, but he kept them to himself. Later on, when the Oregon and Washington papers were received, it was discovered that the report in cireulation on the const was that five men had been iynched here. This set the people to talking again, and by midsum- mer all hands were preparea for the tid- ings which were received from Arizona to the effect that Jenny Filger, the old man’s missing girl, was in Tombstone in company with Charley Ham, one of the men that the Washington lynchers in their report athome had declared they had executed. In the course of time, torough the medinm of men who haa come from the south, the whole story leaked out. The girl had been in town on the day of the lynching, and, rccognizing” in Ham an old acqnaintance, she watehed for an oppor- tunity to saye him. Creeping up as near to the scene of execution as possible, she waited until the main body of lynchers beat a hasty retreat, and then, slipping up in the shadow of the trees, she drew a kmife and quickly cut the lariat by which Ham was hanging. Then seizing him - and the ru}u as well, she made oft fielm' the confusion haa subsided. She dragged the limp body a fow rods into the bushes and when her strength gave out she did her best to revive him. At first this seemed impossible, but after a time ho gained consciousness, and with a little Vigorous excrcise was rendy Jdong before midnight to fles the country with her.
