THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: MONDAY, MAY 7 WILL STAND BY THE BOYCOTT. The Pope's Rescript Discussed By the Lincoln Luague. PRESIDENT FITZGERALD'S VIEWS, Btirring Resolutions Adopted — A Movement For the Reliefof Uharley Eaton, the Injured Traveling Man-Capital City Brevities. 020-P STREET, Lixcoux, May 6. The regular fortnightly meeting of the Lincoln branch of the Irish National League in America was held at the league hall to-day with a large attendance. An excellent pro- gramme was rendered as usual, but the most interesting part of the exercises ocourred in the adoption of resolutions regarding the recent edict of the pope in Irish affairs, Secretary Sutton opened this question by reading the following letter written by President Fitzgerald in Chicago: John P. Sutton, Secretary Irish National e In America: I think it would be well at this critical time that the Lincoln ‘branch of the Irish National League should lace itselt on record as détermined to stand y Parnell, Dillon, Davitt and their colleagues a8 the representatives. of the Irish mfln, and as such, the only ones empowered to guide the politics of the people. No one has reater respect for the sovereign pontiff an I have, and I bow to his decision in every matter conflarnlnf: my_religion, but if be has condemned the plan of campaign and boycottng, the only weapons left our people to save them from destruction, it 18 evident ho has based his decision on in- complete knowledge of Irish affairs if not upon false evidence furnished by England’s agents at Rome. Our duty is to show the world that in a question of Jmlmcnlummuon,while we re- spect any advice the holy father may give us, we prefer to accept our political doctrines from Parnell and his Irish collegues, and from the venerablo statesman William . Gladstone who, in his old age, sacrificed {nllae and power as a testimony of his devo fon to the policy of justice and conciliation Yours faithfully, Joux FITZ0ERALD, Following the reading of the letter and the evident satisfaction received from its con- tents, the following resolutiohs were intro- duced and discussed in an enthusiastic man- ner, after which they were adopted. They spedk in no uncertain words of the position of the national league in political affairs, and will be grected by profound interest by all who have watched the action of the pope in Irish matters. The resolutions are as follows: ‘Whereas, His holiness Pope Leo XIfI by a rescript dated 20th of April, 1858, and signed R. Cardinal Monaco, has condemned the means employed by the Irish tenant farmers to defend their rights and interests in the soil, and which is known as the ‘‘plan of campaign,” and has also condemned the pop- ular interdict commonly called **boycotting™ as being contrary to good morals; and, - Whereas, The national executive committee of the Irish National League of America in session at Cincinnati passed a resolution Ythat we indorse the tenants’ ‘plan of cam- paign’ in [reland as legal and equitable, and wo hereby pledge our efforts to its support, and as the record of the plan of campaign has abundantly proved it to have been an effioient weapon of self-defense in the hands of the tenants and a preservative against the ruthless destruction of themsclves and_their famiilies by crucl and extortionate landlords aided by the forces of a foreign and usurping government; therefore, be 1t Resolved, That, notwithstanding the al- alleged reeript of Leo XIIL, we, as members of the Lincoln branch of the Irish National league of America, do hereby endorse the ro- solution of the national executive committee of the league passed in January 1557, and that ‘we renew our pledges to support the plan of campaign while it can protect a single Irish tenant from landlord oppression, and that we will always maintain that Ireland is a nation, with all the privileges that pertain to nations hood and among them her right to chose her own weapons 1n defending her children from destruction and death. Resolved, That as the league is composed of men of all creeds, it is not within its province to discuss religious questions, but @s Irishmen devoted to the cause of Irish freedlom we deny the right of any authority whatever, outside of theduly elected representatives of the Irish people to interfere with the political move- ments of the Irish nation and we especially deprecate the interfercnce of the Roman court in the political contest now being car- riod on by the people of Ireland against a foreign government and its landlord gar- rison in our long-suffering sad unhappy mwotherland. Resolved, That while we recognize as em- fnently just that free contracts should have binding force we deny the existence of free contracts in Ireland between landlords and tenants and denounce the so-called courts of appeal as hostile to the people who alone are entitled to pronounce upon their usefulness; and while anxious that justice and charity should at all times prevail we commend the popular interdict known as “boycotting” s a just and efficient means of punishing knaves and traitors to the cause of Ireland, and we trust that in no case will it be re: laxed against men who have leagued them- selves with the enemies of this country. Resolved, That we renew our expressions of contidence in the wisdom of Messrs, Par- nell, Dillon, Dayitt and their patriotic col- leagues, and exhort our brethren i Ireland to stand loyally by whatever poliey their Jeaders shall adopt, since they alone are en- titled to receive their ailogiance and support, and we ulso hope that the British democrac, under the leadership of William E. Glad- stone, will continue to follow their policy of peace and conciliation until popular liberty shall be the unchallenged possession of the Irish people. RELIEF FOR UHARLEY EATON. Charles Ent who was 80 severely in- jured in the wreck at Alma, on the Burling- Ton road, is a favorite with the traveling men of the state, who feel a great deal of interest in both his caro and recovery. Mr. Eaton owns a house in this city that he has nearly paid for, aud there seems to be & general de- Bire to assist him in his trouble. To bring this before the public, Mr. L. W, of this city, Las issued tho following: LaxcoLN, Neb., May5.—To Traveling Men ; Biuce secing our unfortunate fellow traveler, Charles Eaton, last Priday, whoso life is now banging in the balance from injuries reccived at the Alma wreck, I have been urgentl; reguested by & number to notity them ol any move in the direction of raising a small sum for inmediate uso in this, the trylng moments of as “kind-hearted, whole-souled and gentlemanly young man as & was ever the pleasure of anyone to be as- sociated with. Hence, upon learning as I did to-day, that the §1 assessmont for April that he was so solivitous to have forwarded to his relief as- sociation immediately upon reguining con- sciousuess from the wrock, could not be re- ceived, from the fact that a similar one for March had been neglocted or miscarrie Yendering the possibility of his receiving this ever wolcome assistance doubtful, I Waerefore take this unauthorized liberty appointing tho Lincoln Journal ulmFl Gazette Journal, John M. Cotton, of the Lincoln Demoorat, and Tur Owmana DaiLy Beg, receipents of a #1 fund for Mr. Eaton's bencfit hoping thut each will an- nounce themselves at the service of traveling men generally who wish to contribute. Concerning his condition, besido a severe in the back of his hoad, the side of his face from the ear is laid bare to the point of the chin and laid open *o the bone, and his collar bone, one rib and ieg are broken. I am giad to quote his wife, her companion, Mrs. Martin, and his present attentive physi eian, all to the effect that Charlie’s nerve has not deserted him for & moment. Your fellow traveler, L.

The contracts between the city and Stout & Buckstafl for paving two of the new dis- triots with cedar block have been signed "The contractors, however, refuse to sign tl contracts us propared for the brick pave- ments, averring that the cia i they ave asked to ki the p pair for 8 year they cunnot agree to.

A rencweod effort is being made to raise the funds for the erectionof a Y. M. C.

Ten thousand dollars toward the building has al- ready been subscribed and Mr. John C. Bonnell, one of the directors, will immedi- ately open the way toward securing the re maining amount necessary. The state droggists' convention, which moets Tuesday, will be a great gathering and an entire success, from present indications. The gentlemen who have the arrangements in charge state that the number of exhibits made by wholesalers will be |Ill"x1‘ and many of the displays magniticent. humber of wholesale houses have their men already on the ground, and exhibits are being placed in position. Tt is expected that there will be in attendance at least three hundred retail drug- gists from over the state, aud the proceed- ings throughout will be replete with interest. The banquet at the close will be an elegant affair, and the promoters of the association propose to make this the greatest convention in the history of the association. The con- ;ullllllon and exhibition will be at Bohannan's all. Providence and propitious skies admitting the opening game of the Western league will be played in this city to-morrow between the Leavenworth and Lincoln clubs. The management are anxious to see what interest the public will take, and it is a general desire that the \)pflnillF game be attended by as many as possible. The work of making brick for paving from Lincoln clay has commenced, and the first kiln will be burned out in a short time. It will require an immense number if the differ- ent districts are completed before the winter months, and a great many interested citizens are watching the progress of the work with a great deal of interest. it An Absolute Cure.

Arrivalin Hartford of a Former Kesi- dent of Colorado. Hartford (Conn.) Times: A “burro,” which is Spanish for a four-legged jackass, arvived in this city to-day from Denver, Colo. He was shipped April 12, and came on a through way-bill over the United States express line. The weight of the beast is 480 pounds, and the expense of getting him here was $50. He was enclosed in a crate, well built, on the outside of which was this placard: “My name is Jack. I am from Den- ver, Colo., and I am going to 63 Willard street, Hartford, Conn., there to serve my young masters, Howard and Ned Worthington, the rest of my natural life. Please give me a drink of water and a lock of hay, and I will remember you in my devotions. ‘Written in between these lines were the following in pen; “I was watered at Kansas City by Haley & Canty.” T was watered at St. Louis, Friday, 13th, at 7 o’clock.” “A beefsteak by Dick, the m “I watered and fed the jacka boken, April 15, I was watered at Hoboken at 9 o'clock, Sunday, April 15.” “Feed of cut hay when I left New York.” “I was watered at 12:30, April 16,” “I was watered on hoard the City of Richmond, 2 p. m., April 16.” ‘“Jack was fed on bread and tea at 5 a. m.

Just try and see how nice he eats it.” A newspuper toread and watered accordingly.” A big crowd surrounded the crate when the ‘“‘burro” evas liberated in front of the United States express office for the purpose of being photographed. This, however, was difficult, by reason of the almost ceaseless motion of his head and long ears. At the juncture of his tail and body the bark had been worn off by constant rubbing against the rear end of the crate., A well-defined look of disap- pointment was observed on his face as razed about in vain for some of his rades, but he seemed to feel the import- ance of being called by a foreign name. After being photographed, he was taken to the residence of Mr. Alfred Worth- ingtou, the publisher, on Willard street. jackass with a Spanish-name is a novelty in Hartford, but he also takes pride in his hind legs, as will be sworn to by the young man who chased him around in the street to catch him after he had temporarily broken loose from the crate. The burro was forwarded to Mr. Worthington by Mr. Mclntosh, of Den- ver. ainted e Hired For the Occasion. Avretailer: *'I just accidentallylearned of a uew society wrinkle, which I must say almost took my breath away. A little while ago a well known fashiona- ble lady came, says the Jewelers’ Weelkly, and after looking over some silverware and jewelry, asked me how mueh I would charge to hire alot of it to her. She said she ouly wanted the use of it for a few hours, and was pre- pared to give ample security that it would be returned in the same condi- tion as that in which it was reseived, 0**You see’ she said, ‘my daughter is going to be married next week and I want to make sure that the Il be a good display of wedding presents.

The state conventions of the Traveling Men’s associations are to be held during this month preparatory to the national convention which 18 to be held in June, A number of the state associations are working in the line of reforms that they will present at the national meeting, and as a thirty days’ notice with the secretary is required to have a mat- tor come before the national convention some of the states are already serving notices of subjects that they will ecall up for consideration, Among the plans that will be discussed will ~ be e reorganization of the association, and fthe state division which can present the most practicable scheme for reorganization and present it in the most concise and practicable manner, may be entitled to the honor of rescuing the National Association from total wrockage, If the members assemble in the proper spirit this can be done, Ifthe present really desire to save the association, retire bodily association to perform its work without their aid or suggestions. The old association is in such shape that it cannot live much longer, and it is only a new enthusiastio, live set of oficers that can ever revive it. - e Bettering Their Condition. Mr. John Tunn, a veteran Chicago travel- ing man, in a letter to the Merchant Trav- eler, gives the following good advice to his brother traveling men which, if followed by the men, would be a great benefit to them as well as to the houses they represent. In it he says: “By meeting occasionally when a number of traveling men are together in any town, to discuss our mutual interests, our mutual influence, our mutual advancement in the skill of salesmanship, judgment in determin- ing credits, andto what extent, and all other qualitics necessary to the suc- cessful ~ salesman, Again, this 18 an age of organization for Self protection. Last, but not least, can we not in some way arouse the moral sentiment of 1l our “boys” till they will feel that they are in every sense gentlemen, engaged in a calling at once hon- est, honorable, respectable and consistent with the highest moral elevation. We ought, we can, we must command the respect of the world by being undergll circumstances re- spectable. _“Let those of us who appreciate and_prac- tice what elevates and refines mind and heart, whatever gives strength to body and force to convictions, whatever will add to our own self-respect, and to our reliability as business men, as citizens, as employes, as salesmen, as true sons, husbands and fathers, let us, I say, assert our convictions, so that the world will know what these convi are, instead of listening to and noticing o our less refined companions of the grip. Drew His Pay'in Advance. G. A. Chapman, a traveling man, late in the sorvice of Singer & Co., the wholesale drug house, situated on South Washington street, was arrested recently in Peoria, IL., for embezzling by appropriating funds be- longing to his company. He was $320 short in his accounts, and he was called upon to ex- plain the very remarkable state of things on his book. He ocould not explain. He ad- mitted being short, and knew it was wrong, but could not tell why. He could not tell where the money went to, nor had he any cash to pay up to the firm. . An Omaha Man's Good Fortune. W. S. Helphrey, traveling representative of A. Booth’s Omaha branch house, now wears diamonds. One of hus uncles, an East India merchant, died recently and left him his jewelry, amounting in valueto a very snug fortune. One of the diamonds received through this legacy is nearly as large as a walnut, and as brilliant as the famous ' Kooh- inoor. " 1t is set in & rough silver ring, and is a great sparkler. Its value is estimated at $10,000. Helphrey is wearing it for the ntmagm, and is very proud of the precious stone. . Travelingmen's Reception. The entertainment committee of the Tray- eler’s club, of Philadelphia, is making great preparations for the final roception of the season. It will be held on Saturday, May 13, Among the speakers will be A. K, McClure, Senator Robert R. Dearden and City Solic- itor Warwick. The musical features will be of the best, two ladies, Miss Mears and Mrs. Fleming, baving kindly volunteered their services. “ Not Reaay to Bury. The following story has been told at the expense of W. N. Wilkin, a traveling sales- man, of Tifiin, Ohio: Three weeks ago Mr. Wilkin came east, and his family heard noth- ing of him until a body was found last weelk in Central park, New York, with a card bearing the name of Wilkin. The family sent dispatches, and the body had been, us everybody supposed, identificd. When the train came in from the enst Wilkin's body was expected, and arrangements had _been made for the funeral. Instead, Mr. Wilkin himself came forth, and there ' was great ro- joicing. He had given a New Yorker his card in course of business, and the man had died with it upon him. _ Southern itobbers. ‘The real story is told at the expense of a New York traveling man in the south. It is as follows: While making a country team trip recently for 7. M. Hill & Son, & whole- sale boot and shoe firm of Mewphis, Tenn., W. T. Barnett, a traveling salesman, was held up by highwaymen and robbed of his prsonal effoots undl two trunks of “samiplos, he day after this little episode Mr, Barnett was surprised o receive this note written in an uncouth hand: *“When you come again bring two shoes of a kind. We're not one- legged in this country, Youw'll find some of your stuff in the smoke house in the t. Ve keep the others to sell to one-legged Sure enough in the smoke house found half his samples—all for the Mr. Barnett lost over $200, They are Angels of Commerce, A female traveling “‘man” who has made a big success, says & writer in the Phila- delphia Record, is Mrs. K. Kabok, repre- senting a New York dry goods importer. She has recently sold large bills of goods in this city. In1s78she came from Vienna with ler father, was married in Chicago, but dur- ing the past six years ber Lusband and two children died. Then she wenton the road to earn a lving, This is what she said sev- eral weeks 8go to @ Philadelphia merchant when asked about her work. “Yes, I like it; [ travel as quickly and do as woll as my malo competitors.

And, after all, 1 still remain & woman 1n all that'word im- plies. Ouly & little while ago I saw a couple at the brealsfast table of the Palmer house with a dear little boy between them. He re minded me of my child, and I went upstairs and bad a good cry.

The eyes of the grocers aud th men were on the Wilkesbarre which was held last week. Resolutions were adopted boyeotting wholesale dealers who scll their goods at retail to the detviuent of local merchants; the - practice of giving Presents 1o customers was condemued; a per capita tax of twenty-tive cents for legislative purposcs was adopted, and the by-laws were ameuded so as to bave but one convention & sales convention Among the well-Bnown Philadelphians present were John J, t‘..mn.

The Northwest Dead. “It i eight years that I have been located at St. Paul,” said Billy, Noblos; of K. J. Jeft- ray & Co., the New York importers, a few days ago. “Ihave néver scen busincss so quict in the large cities of the northwost. Not that there is a scarcity of money, for merchants and the binks are well supplied with that useful commodity, but_customers are ohary of buying. Tho best bills of goods are sold now in the small towns, and people would _be surprised 1o see the trade that is being done in places that have been regarded merely as hamlots and hardly worth the trouble to visit with a trunk.” **x The Ole Fashioned Tavern Bell. Like the old oaken bucket, the old-fash- ioned tavern bell is becoming almost extinct. It is only now and then you soe or hear the Jinglejingle of the bvgones, which in the venerable old tavernkeeper's hands made such merry music in the early dawning, or by its ding-ding called in the star boarders (82 per week) from the remote corners of the village to the noon-time or the evening meal, or perchance groeted the passengers of the incoming stage coach and by its medley an- nounced that good cheer and food for the in- ner man awaited them, True, now and then one can be seen or heard, but now changed. In its hulu{gn days the weary traveler or constant boarder retired to his couch only to be awakened by tho rising bell, rung at5:30, to be followed thirty minutes later by another rinr announcing breakfast. This was a meal which in those days lasted from 0to 7. Now the traveler, as he retires, says: ‘‘Put me down for 6:30, 7, 7:30 or 8 call,” and near that hour in most, hotels (now called) the porter can be heard stalking through the bare halls, or pounding up and down the un- carpeted stairs and playing tattoo (witha noise a little less than thunder) upon the several doors, in o deep base voice shouts, “7:80.” In those early days the meal was primitive, well cooked, served with a good cup of coffee, and without ostentation. and the whole digestible. Now, too often, one is served with illy-cooked (or not cooked at all) food, unclean and indigestible, so that to-day self-protection demands that the traveler be well fortified with pepsin and other like anti- dyspeptic tonics, if he does not wish to reach apremature grave.

Frank Leslie’s: The latest contribu- tion to the solution of the much vexed problem, “What shall we do with our aughters?” will be heard with respect, at least, since Mr, Walter Besant has proved himself not only a man of senti- ment and bright ideas, but a man of a kindly bheart and abundant common sense. Nobody will be inclined to turn a deaf ear to any plans for social ameli- oration which may be brought forward by the originator of the ‘‘People’s Palace.” We all know, or think we know, the various phases of the question of what to do with young women not brought up to work, who have no apti- tude for any particular work, and who yet must support themselves. This isa serious problemin our older commuuities and in England, owing to the long agri- cultural depression and other causes, it has become alarming. The number of educated and cultivated women who are trying to earn a living has been, both "actually and _proportionately, enormously increased. ek e goes so far as to claim that “‘no woman should be forced to work at all, except at such things as please her,” and to bim it seems ‘‘a shame that a lady should ever have to stand in the labor market for hire, like a milkmaid ata statute fair.,” He therefore urges the adoption of the French plan of provid- ing au endowment for every daughter of ufamily, In Frauce, as soon asa girl is born, her family, however poor, if they cluim respectability, at once be- gin to accumulate her dot, or dowry. In Germany there are societies ona modified tontine plan for providing for unma d daughte On the birth of a daughter her name isentered in the books of the society, and the father pays a small sum yearly on her account, If she is unmarried at twen- ty-three, she has the rht to live rent free in two rooms, and receives a small annuity. If she marries, she gets noth- ing. Mr, Besant advocates some like method for England, and his suggestion has opencd & lively discussion and brought him a multitude of letters from and daughters, spinsters, and The subject is ‘0ne of . growing importance in this country, where the | question of how to provide for daughters is an anxious one for fathers with small incomes. Both German and French methods contain some good points, and it would be well if the subject was agitated here, and practical action de- vised in place of unprofitable talk.
