WENCELAUS, penny Sheet—The Telephono Ex- change In New Quarters— Buccessful Schoolma’ams. Solids anid Liquids, For two weeks and more the water furnished the city by the city water works * has been of a character and kind that Justly deserves condemwnation from all who are forced to use it for any purpose. * It is muddy. fuil of grit, and very little . better than when it is pumped into tho #ettling Lasins fromihieriver. The cause this condition of the water 1s found in ihe fact that the works are utterly inca- le of meeting the demands of the ci responsibility for the luck of c: cannot justly be placed to the the present management, because jose who are at the head of alfairs now nothing to do with the building of waterworks. The original projectors the works, had they forseen the rapid wth of the city, would doubtless have red suflicient land to settle a suffi- nt supply. The more water consumed, greater is the_room required for set- ng purposes, When the present man- ment took charge of the works last iptember, the settling basing were of e and one-half ncres in extent, and only capable of allowing the water from the river to stand six or eight hours. The demund for water has increased since Beptemberto such an extent that the basins will only permit of from four to six hours settling; whereas, to provide the best results the water should stand from thirty-six to forty-cight hours. When the present management took hold of the works last September, Ihc{ were not only confronted with that difticulty, but others, among them the t that owing to the growth and expan- n of the city, a large amount of large rlpe wus required to be laid throughout the city in order to keep up the pressure required, and to supply the water demanded. Accordingly, a very large amount of large sized pipe has been laid during the last nine months, New twenty-four inch mains for Emplnz statipns, and twwelve and jurteen inch mains on numerous reets, replacing . in manfi in- ances smaller p pes which have n thrown away. This pipe-laying has olved an expenditure of about $175,- . This enlargement of the pipes seemed to the manngement of the works tg be very nccessary, and the thing ich was to be done’ first, as it was be- Digved absolutely essential to the safety "the city. In addition to_ this it was ed necessary to provide a service the hilltops, which, when the works were originally built, were not occupied by residences, and therefore not consid- ered in the original contract. 8o to give pressure to the hilltop hydrants, a new pumping station was built and P in operation at the reser- ir on Walnut hill. Adequate pressure is now had where formerly the water hardly ran from the hydrants. While these improvements were ‘desired, the most vital have been accomplished. The improvement of the quality of the water, by additional setuling basins, has not been lost sight of. It was found no more land could be procured at the pres- ent ?umping station, and the company would have to look elsewhere for a situa- tion for & pump house could be obtained not resent need but for all " time, he only place which possessed all the requisite for the works was a site * at Florence, where & rock foundation “could be secured for heavy machinery, and which will be above all possible con- tamination by the sawerago of the city in the future. It was accordingly deter- mined to obtain tho property at Flor- ence for that purpose, and part of it was purchased, and steps were under way to condemn the rock, when the mnority of the stockholders intervened by an’in- junction suit to prevent the ‘building plant in Florence. The g:mr of condemnation was slow at Lilul there was 160 different claimants to the land desired by the company, whose titles would have to be satistied before it would be safe to spend any money. All trouble 1 the board now, however, has been settled by the pur- of the stock held by the ‘minority, the majority, and the work of build- the new plant is progressing with utmost expedition, The new works to be very large, and fully capable lnpplylni all the needs of the city, to furnish the best quality water ob:ainable from the ri river. Fifteen acres of settiing ins will be provided tostart with, with ,000,000 gallons of water, where land only for ing machinery of double 0ity of the present pumps will be ine of ver'y large pipe six miles will extend from Cuming street to umping station, and the char- thoroughness of the work may dfio‘l when 1t is known that this jpe line alone will cost in the hborhuod of $300,000, and the total nditurea of the new plant, including new line, will reach in the neighbor- ,000,000. All this is a matter time, but the company hopes to have new_station in operation within a It might have been in operation lewhat sooner, but the company could give its orders for the pipe ary to the improvements until )y were sure of the means to pay tho same. menns could be raised, and the work of building plant proceeded with until the oppo- 3 mong the members of the com- . pany was quieted, which has now been ~ doue, as said before, by the purchase of the kickers' stock by the majority of the rd.

The reason there- for was a strike among the newsboys. The grievance that the newsboys have is that they huve had the price of the shect raised on them. Some time ago the World was furnished to the news- boys at one cent per copy. Recently the rate was raised to one and a half cents per copy, and to induce the boys to ac- cede to the advance, a prize was offered ng the greatest num- s, the second highest also ing’ a prize. The first prize was $15 and the second 210, The newsboys accepted the new deal re- luctantly, and for a few days sold the papers. But they were making ealeula- tiong in the meantime, The; lfiund that to win first prize the lucky boy would hy to sell fifty copies every day on an average, and they held that the best rus- tier among their number could not reach that number. If first prize was won, it didn’t amount to much as the extra one- half cent paid for the papers would amount to the principal portion of the So, too, with second el{ any of the $10 would efory ng World's p Le left. ¢ the shrewd venders agreed that they were being ‘‘hogged,” as they = termea it. The _ boys met in an aliey near the office. Myron Howe, Johnnie Lindsey, Frea Sly and Jack i(lcC:mn were the speechmak and with youthful eloguence and a sion fired the newsboy heart with the sense of the injustice that was beingdone to them. They struck to a boy, and each lad_declared “he will not sell a World until they are sold to him at the oid price of one cent per copy. ‘Workingmen, Attention, The members of the Bricklayers', Plas- ters and Stonemasons’ Tenders unions call upon all laboring men in the city of Owaha to remain away from all build- ings and not scab our work, as we are now engaged in a gigantic struggle with combined and orgamzed capital in the formn of the contract system, which has combined for the purpose of crushing the manly hopes of labor, and to forever crush that independent and patriotic spirit that characterize the average Am- erican workingmen. Workingmen, our battle is your battle. 1f you assist the enemy to crush us by fil %1 our places on the enemies’ terms, it will not be long until yourselves in turn will sink a hope- less prey to the greed and avarice of the unproductive idle cluss, who defraud labor of its rights and by their ill-gotten ains live in luxury and ease, while we, the producers of all material wealth, live an average life of toil, misery, want, !mverty and squalor, Once again, labor- ng men, we call upon you not to assist the cnemy.

The white faces without any hands moving across them look y dismal indeed. The fact is, however, that this state of things is not s0 much to be wondered at. The trust of the people of Omaha in respect to that clock hus been cruelly betrayed. When the high school building was first put up it was the intention, of course, to put a clock in the tower but somehow they ot the building all completed and no clock was put in. Then school was opened and still no clock perched itself in the tower, The thing ran alonguntil peopie had, about given up the iden of & clock and reconciled themselves to the situation when a stranger came along who pro- osed to put in a magnificent time keeper or $500. He was a stranger of most en- gaging manners, and seemed to enter into thejproject with all the enthusiasm of a man who had lived in Omaha twenty-five years. He started out witha subscription paper and visited a large number of leading citizens to whom he pointed out in eloquent terms the humil- iation the city was subject to on account of the big clockless tower on the high school buildings. The 1. ¢.'s came down liberally and the patriotic stranger svon had $500 collected. Then he suddenly and mysteriously disappeared, and has disappeared and has never returned so far as anybody knows. 'This of course, acted like a wot blanket on the clock question and nobody has had the hears to agitated the subject since.” A NEW OHURCH. That of St. Wenceslaus to be Dedi- cated This Morning. The Bohemian Catholics of our city will have a great celebration this morn- ing, when their new church on South Fourteenth street will be dedicated. For nine yeurs they have held their services at the old land mark on Thirteenth street, near Williams. About a year and a half ago they concluded to build a new house of worship that would be a credit to them, It is now finished. There are about nine hundred Bohe- mian families in the city, of whom about one-haif are members of the Catholic church. They have seven Catholic so- cieties, three benevolent ones, with a membership of about two Imndrml;nns soctety of knights (uniformed) with twen- ty-tive members, and three ladies’ so- cieties with about onc hundred members, The first efforts toward organizing the Bohemian Catholics into a church so- ciety were made by Rev. Father Koeamik nine years ngo, who was called here for that pnrpose by Bishop O'Conner. At that time there was but a handful of Bo- hemiam Catholics 1n the city, and they were unable to build and- sustain o church, but the bishop has looked for- ward, and to keep them together has ad- vanced fundstoward buying the uror erty, which for years hasbeen used by the church, the efforts of Rev. Koeamik the flock of the faithful has been kept well together, but until recently circum- stances did not allow any cffort towards procuring a more imposing place of wor- ship. The Bohemian populstion, how- ever, has increased and so have the Cath- olics in numbers. The old church be- came too small for the congregation, es- Euclull_v after the present priest, Rev. Father Choka, took charge about two years ago. The Boliemian Catholics of this ritr are very fortunate in securing the services of this eminent priest. He had labored in tee vineyard of Christ in Chicago for several years previously, and is now con- sidered one of the forcmost in the Bohe- mian priesthood, being a thorough the- ologian, a forcible speaker and an ad- mirable gentleman. Torough his efforts Bishop O'Conner consented to sell the old church property aud apply the p towards putting up the present imposing structure, Accordingly the old property as sold and a lot was bought on South Four- teenth street, near Hickory, 125x105 feot.

T, Ely, in Harper’s Ma: zine for July: The best thinkers on eco- nomic topics seem to be more nearly unanimous than ever before in the opinion that co-operation is to be the ulitmate so- lution of the industrial probiems of our day. This view was held, it 18 well known, by the christian socialists of England thirty-five years ago,and at that time they had mapped ont uron{ clearly the form of co-operation which they thought future societies would adopt. Among them weré some of the most Mfiumhman of the century, who Ve demons| lovg 2go that they were not mere visionaries, but that, om the contrary, they far excelled in practi- cal wisdom their detractors. Many of these early Christian socialists. now old men, after a life rich in experience, still maintain their former opinion about co- operation. Mr. ‘Chomas Hughes, for ex~ ample, writes: *I still look to this move- ment as the best hope for England and other lands.” John Stuart Mill frequently gave ex- pression to somewhat similar views, al- though he doubtless held that public au- thority would play a more important role mn future industrial society than did the Christian socialists. He sympathized —at any rate in his later days—to greater extent with the state socialists of the con- tinent. Perhaps the result of recent studies in cconomics 18 the best given by Prof. Henry C. Adams 1n these words: **The co-operative principle is the one to which the wages system must_give way; bhut what particular from industrial or- ganization will take no one can say.” The world has ever been restless under any social systom which tolerated a sep- aration of labor and capital; for although the things for which these words stand may, as tho trite saying has it, be allies, not encmies, the same has not always been true of those who furnish capital and labor; nor can any honest man sa; that their interests are precisely identical., The point of thvor‘;encc of interests is so sharp, and the ultimate separation so wide, as to give a good deal of support to the doctrine that their enmity lies in the nature of things, They have not always been so separated as they are to-day. In the middle n{:cu vroduction was carried on under the guidance of men who owned their tools, and employed them with their own hands. Capital” was not an important separate factor, for it was, as a rule, united with labor n ownership, = Still earlier, and also still later, we have slavery, which united labor and ecapital in the same hands, namely, the hands of the master, who owned labor precisely as he owne capital. Both were chattels. The argu- ments urged for this union by the ablest advocates of slavery were powerful. Again and again they pointed out the impossibility of permanently harmonious social relations should labor and capital be supplied by two distinet industrial classes. They never were satisfactorily answered on this point. But their con- clusions were nevertheless unwarranted. The first stage in the cvolution of indus- trial society tinds laborand capital united and the stage of evolution to which we must come will also witness their union, but there will be this radical difference; in the one period of evolution they are united in the hands of the capitalists; in the other, they will be found in the hands of the labovers. As John Stuart Mill says, this must be brought about by a developmenl of the partnership principle. No one, as al- ready stated, can tell exactly what form this will take, but some things seem al- ready clear, Corporations will play an important part in this development, as they gradually become more democratio in their tendencies. Corporations and co-operative cnterprises will become more and more nearly assimilated until they can scarcely be distinguished. President Francis A. Walker, in his treatise on political economy, dwells on the importance of industral leadership, and believes that co-operative enterprises have not a great future because the cap- tains of industry are not in their employ. Every word which he says about the im- ortance of the services rendered by the eaders of the economic world is true, but there are other things which he over- looks: First, the power of per- fect organization, which s dail becoming more apparentin every domain of life, and which is now achicving iumphs remarkable beyond precedent. he second is the fact that the captains of industry will yet be found at the head of co-operative enterprises, It was thut kind of co-operation which we find in corporations which first gave them their grcncnt position—which, it may almost e said, firet called them into existence. When corporations became more truly co-operative with respect to the labor element, the captuins of industry will not disappear. Some have advocated a total suppress- ion of corporations; but, even were this possiblo, it is plain that it would bea retrograde movement. There is, fore tunately, a conservative middle ground between the radicalism which would sweep away these useful industrial forms ana the equally dangerous obstinacy which rejects all suggestions of change, The arguments advanced by the enemies of corporations must convince any fair- minded man that there are evils insepara- bly connected with_corporations as they exist to-day in the United States, but an analysis of these arguments reveals the fact that they do not apply equally to all classes of corporations. — ————— A Village Blaze, Des MoiNes, Ia, July 2.—The mayor of Mitehellville, sixteen miles east, telegraphed at midnight last night that his town was burning up and asked for help.
