ROSEWATER, Epitor. THE DAILY BEE Sworn Statement of Ulrculation, Btate of Nehruk-' * a8 County of Douclas. Geo. B. 'Tzachuck, secretary of The Bee Publishing company, does solemnly swear that the actual circuiation ot the Daily Bee the week ending Sept.l6, 1857, was as condition the great majority would pay tribute to protection. It is shown, how- ever, by the figures of the census, and these can be verified without very great effort, that labor in . the protected industries, taking the entire ge of wages, is not so well paid as that which 18 not protected. Carpenters, bricklayers, furniture makers, for exam- ple, receive a better average of wages than workers in iron and steel, and in woolen and cotton mills, . This was true seven years ago when the census was taken and has been true ever since, Nothing is more clearly es- tablished, and the evidence can be found in abundance, that what can alone prop- erly be callea protected labor is, so far us the vital matter of wages i8 concerned, really not protected ae all, but is worse off than other labor which can fairly be compared with it. How is 1t with the claim that the protection policy gives employment to labor? During the past ten or twelve years, with the exception of perhaps three of excep- tional general prosperity, the number of workingmen in enforced idleness in the country has rangea between one and three millions. Ten years ago the esti- mate was of the latter amount, and dur- ing the past twelve months of great activity and prosperity the number is believed not to have fallen below the former amount. Another very import- ant fact to be considered 18 that most of the protected industries do not keep their work-people employed more than three- fourths of the time. According to the last report of the Pennsylvania bureau of statistics, out of the ninety-eight chief industries enumerated only twenty-nine kept their men employed 300 days. The coal industry, which occupied nearly one- third of all the laborers of the state, kept them employed less than 200 days. One industry kepnt them only 133 days, em- ploying on the average 11,000 laborers. Woolen goods, employing 7,000 laborers, kept them busy only 250 days. Rolling mills, employing 32,000, could find work for themonly 236 days. A similar result, or perhaps one even less favorable, would be found by an investigation of the sit- uation in other states, whose industries are most largely under the wgis of pro- tection. hursaay, Sept. riday, Sept. 16,..

Everywhere workingmen, largely of the class alleged to be protected, have been struggling to maintain or improve their wages. Dis- content has becn general, and a great deul still abounds. This labor hasample reason to know that the protected capi= tal has prospered, but it justly complains that it has not shared in the benefits of the system, It is seeking its own way of redress in organization, social and polit- ical, and promises to urge its demands with considerable force. Protectionists may ignore but they cannot put down the facts which confute their false claim that labor is protected by protection. The unanswerable argu- ment of the figures is that the policy gives no benefit in wages to labor, the unprotected faring better than the pro- tected, while of both it makes an exac- tion which is but so much tibate to the monopolies, which are the real and the only gainers from protection. JusTIN MCCARTHY says that the home rule question is settled and that it only remains to arrange the terms. Mr. Mec- Carthy may be right, but viewed from this distance it appears that the arrange- ment of terms will be moro difficult of accomplishment than was the present settlement, E———t—— THE railroads are greatly interested in proxies to the state convention nnd passes to Lincoln, will be plenty for all who oppose the return of Judge Maxwell to the bench. O1l room men who have been cut of business recently are rejoicing over re-employment. ‘TaE very latest monopolistic combine is in salt, and all the large manufactur- ers in the country are expected to join the organization and put up prices. Things may come to such a pass that it will requiro the best energies of a poor man to earn his salt, and the old saw about a worthless man will lose 1t mean- ing and give place to “‘not worth his pie and cake.” e ‘Tre breach 1n the Plymouth church in Brooklyn made by the Beecher trial was not healed even by the death of the fa- mous divine, but the installation of a new pastor is expected to once more unite all factions. 1t takes more than death to end a church quarrel, but if the &ood book is Lo be believed there will be nl? renewal of hostilities on the golden shore, JAck DEBOSE, who was recently ar- rested on suspicion of murdering the Woolfolk family at Canton, Georgia, is said to have confessed his guilt. 1t will be remembered that Tom Woolfolk, the only member of the family who escaped, was suspected of being the murderer, and at once taken into custody. The in- furiated neighbors were determined to lynch him, and his neck was only saved by the strenuous efforts of the cooler heads.

He claimed, however, that the murder had been committed by negroes, and that he had escaped by jumping through a win- dow. Debose’s confession confirms this story. Since the massacre there has been a great deal of comment over young ‘Woollolk's inhuman depravity, but the sequel shows that those who judged him 80 severely have done him agreat wrong, and that the would-be avengers came near committing a fearful crime. Again and again innocent persons have been lynched. Itis time that this relic of bar- barism were more generally discoun- tenanced by public opinion. than it 1s, and so done away with. The conditions under which this rude form of justice arose no longer exist, and there is no necessity for its conttnuance. The list of its innocent victims is .a long one and a blot upon our history. Tue Indian bureau intends to stand by its decree that the instruction of the In- dians must be carried on in the English language. From a practical standpoint this is no doubt best. Some opposition has been raised by the Indians and by white people who look at the matter from a picturesque point of view. But if they are to be treated as citizens, the sooner they learn to understand the “language of the constitution and the laws" the better, WHEN it is admitted in financial circles that the present money stringency is caused by the manipulation of the great money holders, there is not much room left to stand on for those who argue that the way to mend financial matters is to let them ulone. The correct, method of treatment is to make it misdemeanor for money kings to put a check upon.bus- iness and to create distress throughout the country in order to obtain a little higlier interest. ; A Pointed Suggestion, ‘'he’ democrats of Massachusetts do not cut 3o large a figure in- political ¢al- culations as-do those of some other states, heace np yery great signilicance is given their utterances, ' True there have been two democraticvictories in the state in the last ten yeirs, andit cannot be consid- ered impossible that there. shoild be an- other, bat no one. seriously expects it, and with this feeling’ general, Massuchu- setts democracy commands only a pass- ing attention, For a year or.two there has been a’ good “deal of disaffeetion in. the party administration and suu-admin- istration élements, and some of it still ex- ists,though the organization is probably in somewhat better shape now than it was a yeerago, There 1s u very:lurge pro- portion of -Mussachasetts: democrats, however, who are too heartily hostile: to eivil servige reform ever to 1 very cor- dial toward the administration so long as it 'professes devotion to that volicy. The platform adopted at the late con- Emm——— Tne inefliciency of the law h again been demonstrated in Kansas: The pro- bate judge of Smith county, that state, has become insane, The governor can’ wvot ‘fill his ‘place until-his insanity has been judicially determined, and that can ouly ba done before the unfortunate man. himself in bis cupacity of probate judge. uatil the judge pro- nounces himself insane, he can not be disturbed in possession of s office; Evi- dently Gilbert & Sullivan did not stretch & point whon they msnufactured their “lord high executioner, 5 vent_lon was clearly an effort to: satisfy | « (0) both elements in the party and smooth over factional differences with respect to .the administration.. Therefore the usual, complimentary referetices tere made as to honesty in carrying out promizes and pledges, and so on. But there was one pointed suggestion. which showed thatthe element which has not had the ear and favor of the administration required to. be placated. Federal offi- cials in Massachusetts have not been able to keep their hands out of politics, and their interference has been especially of- fensive to the unrecognized wing of the party. A plank in the platform reads that “‘no officer should be retained in the public service who has shown himself an offensive partisan, and we think that a sense of propriety to the administra- tion of which these are a part requires federal office holders representing the administration in-this state to discharge from the public service any of the subor- dinates agninst whom charges of offen- sive partisanship can be substan- tiated.” There is of course no sincerity in this as an avowal of principle. The average Massa- chusetts democrat, in common with the average democrat everywhere, doesn't believe that any ofliceholder should have his political rights curtailed. It is sim- prly a warning to the fellows who have got the best of it 1n the favor of the ad- ministration that they must be satistied with what they have and leave the man- ipulation of state politics to those who are not recognized at Washington. It remairs to be seen how far the pointed admonition will be respected. It is an unpleasant and dclicate task for an editor to make a graceful flop on any question, and especially one which has been hotly contested ana strongly supported. Yet when a flop is made out of respect to the demands of a growing public sentiment itis tosay the least commendable in any one to acknowledge the error of his way and fall in with the majority. Mr. McShane’s change of heart upon the poliey of police starvation by the council will meet the approval of nine-tenths of the readers of s paper. And it is refreshing to see that sheet give expression at this late day to a little com- mon sense in the discussion of the police question, Its advice to the council to pay the starved policemen is evidently forced by the recent movement inaugur- ated in this city by business men to afford substantial relief to the policemen legally appointed, but unrecognized by the council. When the taxpayers of any community unitedly back their senti- ments upon public policy with open purses, it is enough to set the ovposition to thinking. There is absolutely no ex- cuse for the stubborn and 1llegal action of the council with reference to the police, and the people are determined that the conncilmen shall not ride rough- shod over the wishes of those who elected them. A JupICIOUS nnd practicable plan for a public market, that shall be free from all handicapping conditions, will not lack a very general and hearty support Such a project isso strongly commended by every consideration affecting the inter- ests of a large majority of the people, that they need only to be presented to unprejudiced attention to secure favor for the project. There is no other way that can be quite so effective in solving the problem of cheaper living for the masses of Omaha's population, a mutter that has a very important bearing upon the future progress of this city, and particularly upon the position it shall take as a nmanufacturing centre. The danger to be avoided 15 one common to the inception of such enterprises, and thatis a multi- tude of chimerical and impracticable schemes in the confusion of which the object sought will be tossed about hope- lessly for an indefinite time. It is an en- tirely practical matter about which there 18 nothing experimental. The value of such an institution to a community and also as a source of municipal revenue has been amply demonstrated by the expori- ence of other cities. There is not the shghtest reason why this experience should not be repeated in Omaha. THE council did well in putting acheck upon the over-zealous cnterprise of the street railroad constructors which ex- hibits itself in tearing up the strects at their pleasure, regardless of time or pub- lic convenience. The restrictions im- posed upon these parties by the resolu- tions adopted by the council on Tuesday evening, as well as the requirements de- manded of them in the prosecution of their work, are entirely reasonable and should be enforced. ‘L'he people will wel- come the completion of these improve- ments, which assure ampler facilities and more expeditious travel, but there does not appear to be any reason why they should be asked to make the sacrifice of every convenience to themselves in order that the corpora- tions may carry on the work wholly with reference to their own convenience and advantage. The franchises are very val- uable, and the companies can very well afford to conduct their operations so that the public shall suffer the it possible annoyance or inconvenience,even though in so doing they will have tosomewhat increase their outl THE predictions of a coal .famine by one of the robher coal barons, shows that the grinding monopoly has not been con- spiring and plotting against the public in vain. That they now try to throw the odium of the high price of coal upon the inter-state commerce bill shows that there is no limit to their brazen audacity and no sense of moral shame leftin them. The scarcity of coal, if 1 exists as stated, and the high and still rising prices have all been brought about by the coal monopo- lies. There can be no question about that. The coal is there, the men and the ‘means for producing it are at hand, and nothing but the conspiracy of - the cont highwaymen can keep it locked up in the mines. ‘If snch wide-spread distress s experienced as i now threatened, an outraged pubite may rise in its might and give the monopolists a lesson which they i will not soon forget. — THE streets of the city were never be- fore quite 50 badly torn up as they are at present, and unless more vigor is shown than is customary in putting them into condition,. ‘the winter. will' come with numerous almost impassable places in the thoroughfares that must remain un- cared for until spring, to..the great dis- tress-of pedesirisns and the ‘hardship of travel generally.

One Mamie Smith was notihied the other day by ofticer Clark of the Humane gociety that she must change her con- duct towards her eight-months-old babe, or be arrested. She pronused to do so and leave for Honey Creek, Neb., where she clams to reside. This is a very sad case. The woman Smith was in the habit of taking her infant into low dives and force it to drink beer until it was stupid, all for the gratification of a lot of drunken loafers. She would then roll it around on the floor and kick it like a football to show its grit.

Washington Critic: In one of the exhi- bition cases near in the northern entrance to the National museum, and a fow paces from the cases containing the Grant relics, is a bronze medal some four or five inches in diameter, which is & copy of a gold medul that by vote of the American congress was awarded to the man who heroically saved the life of Hon, William H. Sewurd from the hand of the assassin on the day and at the same hour when President Lincoln, in Ford's thea. tre, on Tenth street, fell beneath the miscreant’s bullel As many objects of universal interest acquire their brilliancy and lustre from their association with men and women of other days, who have been famous for something or other, so this bit of bronze, to casual glance similar to hundreds of other bronze medals on exhibition, bo- comes an object of special notice by rea- son of the event it commemorates. The obverse of the medal has a fine profile figure of Secretary Seward, the work being finely executed, circled around which are the words Awarded Dy the Cmuzrexlls ll\”l7!.lle An Incendiary Fire, About 9:30 Wednesday evening the old Pacific house at 820 North Tenth was sot on fire by some unknown parties and $300 damage was done, ‘T'he fire scemed to have started in the basement.

On_ his trip he was accompanied by his wife. Both he and Chipeta had in" a measure adopted the dress of civilized life. They owned their own ranch, their herds fed upon their own pastures,and in essentials lived as white people and enjoyed the comforts of civilized liie, These facts preceded the chief and s consort to Washington, and with all the romance of their moun- tain life clinging about them, added to the heritage of an ancient and warlike lineage, they were received with open arms_ by the high social circles of the capital city. Everywhere they were feted and the doors of the mansions in the plates are used, on which two hundred stamps are engraved. The men aro kept at work coveéring them with he colored inks and passing them to & man and & girl, who are caually busy at printing them with large. roinng hand presses, “Three of these little squads are employed all the time, although ten presses can be put into use in case of necessity.

As souvenirs of her visit ‘to Washington, Chipeta carried away with her quantities of silver plates a portion of w’liuh wus presented . to her by the government through the interior depart ment.
