I bave just received a Jetter from Ben- nett, Lancaster county, which contains the following extract: Mr. Howe, the candidate for congress, was at Bennett on the 19th. His public abuse of you and your paper did not meet with as much success as he desired. Mr, Howe's next method was to whisper something be dared not state in public, viz: that there was a conyersation held botween you and him at Beatrice after his nomination, Did you, Mr, Rosewater, call C hurch Howe into a private room at Beatrice after his nomination for congress and ask him (Chureh Howe) how much he (Howe) would give you to keep quiet during this eampaign? ~Did Howe reply that ho w ould not give you auything and would not buy his way to congress? Our informantsays that the story about my pretended interview with Howe at Beatrice is being circulated privately, to- gether witha statement that I had offered to support Howe for the nomination if he would come to my terms. There is not & word of truth in either of these revorts. Lhe only conversation I had with Church Howe at Beatrice was in the street and in the presecnce and hearing of Paul Schmiuke und soveral delegates from Otoe county. Paul Schminke had Justsaid to Church Howe that he could rely on the whole delegation, when I stepped up and denounced it, adding that it would be ruinous, to Van Wyck for Otoe county to cast its vote for Howe. I was talking to Schminke, but Howe turned around and scornfully said: “I'M make good any votes that Van Wyck will lose or that you can take away from him.” I replied rather tersely that Howe would have novotes to give to Van Wyck after the clection, when the trampet of Gabricl would not resurreet him. This was the only talk 1 bad with Howe at Beateice. 1 did not even see him after the conven- tion adjourned, Equally untrue 1s the story that [ cver offered to support Howe on any terms. He ealled at my oflice two or three times st summer, and the last time he called put the question squarely whether I could be induced to support him. I told him it was utterly out of the question with his known record and the position the Bee had always maintained with regard to hisconduct. Howe then begged me not to oppose him until after he was nominated. To this I simply d I would see about that On re flection It struck me that Howe might possibly be nominated, if jiis party treason and general bad reeord were not shown up. It strack me also that Howe's anxiety to be let alone until after the nomination was designed to pluce me in afalse light hefore the party. To kecp still about him before the nomination would have given him a chance to charge that my opposition at that juncture was the result of a bargain with the demo- crats. Republicans would doubtless have asked why the Bee did not dacy, why 1t did not show up his record before he was party a chance to select a better man. Having deeided :to give no such excuse for Howe and his supporters, I made a very vigorous fight aguinst his nomina- tion. I kept betore republicans the ree- insune warn | the purty against Churoh Howe's candi- | nominated, and give the | OMAHA DAILY BEE: MONDAY, THE ord of | ong posed the « te for mom mvassing nt. | 1876, when of the electoral juotéd from pported Tilden ed for demo » with a e op 1 preside the Ve lidat followed this egation to Beatrioc swa that 1 had quict Howe. 1 the on, packed nominated i in spite wnd now they ean « I, Church Howe enough to procure the Bre never dared to come with a de wized fig wl in a no dummic 1y opposition my | d mone of ti t he m to m without vl sipHort and he knows it so mrchase my support ROSEWATER The At the Pennsylvania s time Orde th rendere unconstitit System. me court 1 the onnl the of decision de the law of store order prohib woe made extended comment subject, concluding with the garestion that it duty of w inzmen everswhere (o resist the appli tion of the system.

Con trary to the view held by the supreme court of Pennsylvania, it operates to de stroy the manhood and independence of | the worker. The system is not peculiar to Pennsyl vania, but exists in many other states, and in nearly all of them where mining is earried on to any great extent. Hence it matter in which the horin g classes generally are interested, and in reference to which they should assume a definite and positive position. It was ex- veeted that the convention of the Knights of Labor would have taken cognizance of the decision of the Pennsylvania court and made some declaration on the sub- jeet, but we have not observed that it did s0. Howeve the omission need not estop those nterested from aking such action as the cir- circumstan shall require, or those in sympathy wtth them from extending proper support. Workmgmen—min us well as others—should insist upon re- ceiving their wages in cash, and wherever practieable payment should be made weekly, though the latter require- ment 18 perhaps not of vital importance. Some employers of large numbers of men, notably Mr. Andrew Carnegie, have, however, found the plan of weekly payments to work most satisfactorily. He maintains ghat the welfare ot the men i best subserved by payments of wages at short terms, and no one is botter qualified than he to speak author tively on a matter of this kind., But whether payments be made at short or long terms—weekly or monthly—justice to the wage earner requires that they be made in cash, and not in some substitute therefor which will compel him to pro- vide for the wants of himself and family in n prescribed channel,at extreme vrices, and thus turn back mto the pockets of employe who are interested in the store-order system an undue percentag of his earnings. From every point of view the system is unjust, and should not be tolerated or submitted to anywhe General Van Wyck's Appointme Senator Van Wyck will coyer a gr deal of ground this week in addressing his constituents in various parts of the state.

Briefly told, the history of this plan to hand over the country to Tilden and democraey is as follows In 1876 Ncbraska elected A Strickland, Amasa Cobb and 1. Connor presidential clectors by a vote of 81,018 as against a vote of 16,954 cast for the Tilden and Hendricks electors. After was discovared that the canvass of this vote could not place under the then existing law before the legislature convened. The electoral vote had to be canvassed in December the Iatest, and the regular of the legislature did not begin until January, (n order to make a legal canvass of the clectoral returns, Governor Garber ealled a special session of the legislature to convene on the 5th of December, '76, at Lincoln, for the pur- pose of canvassing the electoral vote of the state. The democratic effort to cap- ture republican electoral votes is historic Tilden’s friends, notably Dr. Miller, had been plotting for the capture of one of the electors from Nebraska, and it 15 also historie that a large bribe was offered to one of the electors, General Strickland. The eall of the legi ure broke intothe plan of the plotters, and they found a will ing and reckless tool i Church Howe. When the legislature convered at the capi- tal,Church Howe tiled a protest which may be found on pages 6, 7and 8 of the Ne braska House Journal of 1877. The fol- lowing extract makes interesting reading: *1, Chureh Howe, a member of the legisla- ture of Nebraska, now convened by procla- mation of his excellenc rber, for the purpose of canvassing and ring the result of the vote east in Ne- braska for electors for president and vice president of the United States, hereby enter my solemn protest against such act, denying that the governor has power to call this body in special session for any such purpose, or that this body has any authority to canvass or declare the result of such voteupon the following grounds: First. This legislature now convened hav- ing been elected under what is known as the old constitution, has no power to act in the premises, the new constitution of the state having been mn force since November, 1575, The second and third clauses deal with technical objections and are somewhat lengthy. The concluding sentences of this precious document are as follows: “For the foregoing reasons I protest aguinst any canvass of the electoral yote of the state by -his body, and demand that this, my protest, be entered upon the journal.” (Signed) Church Howe, member of the legislature of Nebraska. 'he democrats did not respond to the call of the governor and there was barely aquorum in the senate, while there were several to spare in the house of which Howe was & member. The protest en- tered by Howe was doubtless prepared by the Tilden lawyers in Omaka 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 i When the legislature convened in Jan- uary, 1877, the presidential contest was at 1ts height 1 Washington. Church Howe had ehanged places from the houso to the senate. rly in the session, a resolution was introduced expressing the convietion on the part of the senate that Hayes and Wheeler haying received a majority of the electoral votes were en- titled to their s This resolution gave rise to a very lively debate which lasted two days. Church Howe askea to be excused from voting when it first cume up and was 80 exensed. On the final passage of the resolution the record [puge 876, Senate Journal 1877,] shows the following result: Yeas—Ambrose, Baird, Blanchard, Bryant, Calkins, Carns, Chapman, Colby, Dawes, Gar- field, Gilham, Hayes, Kennard, Knapp, Pepoon, Powers, Thummel, Van Wyck, Walton and Wilecox—20, Those voting in the negative wore: Aten, Brown, Covell, Ferguson, Hinman, Holt, Church Howe and North —8. During the samo session of the legisla- ture, Church Howe's vote on United States senator for the fivst three ballots is recorded as having been cast for E. W. Thomas, a South Carolina demoorat, [pages 198 and 208 Senate Journal.] All this time Church Howe professed to be a republiean independent, republican on national issues and & temperance granger on local issues.
