PENNSYLVANIA iron manufacturers announce a cut of 10 per cent in the wages of their iron workers, to take effoct this week.

NEW YORK'S novel plan of di ng the support of its delegates between four vice-presidential nominees pre- sents an easy way of getting outof a tight box.

A monster political demonstra- tion wus made in the City of Mexico by twenty thousand worlk in favor of the ve-clection of President Dinz, It is a healthful sign when workingmen take part in advocating the claims of President Diaz for a second term, It demonstrates that Mexico is prosperous and progressive, and welcomes the in- flux of foreign capital which has given steadier and more remunerative em- ployment to the wprking classes than hey have ever had, Es————— Tie New York Zimes has special ad- vices from Chicago that the Rock Isiund must of necessity extend its line into Nebraska at Omaha and from here radiate to the southwest and northwest., This will be done, in all probabilities, as soon as that road, now busy with ex- tensions in Kansas aud Colorado, can turn its attention to this state. The Rock Island has very expensive work on its hands in the construction of ter- anal facilities at Kansas City. Buu that will not in the least deter the road from its entering upon Nebraska terri- tory, Since the Union Pacific has turned its back on the Rock Islund and joined hands with the Burlington it is obvious that speedy measures must. be taken by President Cable to hold his own in Nebraska. COleveland Has It. The first part of the programme at St. Louis has been carried out. Grover Cleveland was yestorday renominated by acclamation, with all the accessories of demonstrative enthusiasm, as if the convention had done some unexpected thing of surpassing significance. Tt is eomewhat difficult for most people to become greatly excited over the per- formance of a purely perfunctory task, but the democratic delegates at St. Tonis seem to have had no trouble in working themselves up into an costasy of excitement over having dome what they were sent to do. was placed in nomination by Mr. Dan Dougherty, formerly known to fame as the Philadelphia orator, butnow, we be- lieve, a resident of New York. Mr. Dougherty made some heavy drafts on his imagination, not the least sug- gestive of which was his declaration that, ‘“To-day determines that not of his own choice, but by mandate of his coun= trymen and with the sanction of heaven, he shall fill the presidency for four years more.” A great deal may be pardoned 1in the utterances of an ora- tor on an oceasion of this kind, but an attempt to acquit Grover Cleveland of having any choice in the matter of his candidacy and to involve heaven in the affair is going beyond the pardonable point. Very likely none would be more ready than Mr. Cleveland himself to relieve heaven of all responsibility, and to . claim what justly belongs to him, the full ecredit of having brought the democratic party to his feot and traned it to respond to his ambition. Few men in our history worked harder tosecure arenomination than has Grover Cleveland, or used more freely the great power and patronage at the command of the executive in furtherance of this purpose. So anxious has he been in this matter that for months there has been no restraint upon the political activity of federal officeholders, who in every state of the union have been con- spicuous in the management of caucuses and conventions where the interests of Mr. Cleveland were involved. He has himself in the most unprecedented manner interfered in the poli- tical affairs of states, mnota- bly in New York and Massachu- setts, while a member of his cabinet has been operating in Michigan in his in- terest, and elsewhere his emissaries have been continually busy. Fora year past every move of Mr. Cleveland has plainly shown that he was most anxious to be renominated, and that all the political skill and ingenuity of which he was possessed was being directed to that end. Give Mr. Cleveland all the credit that belongs to him for his suc- cess in subjugating the democratic party to his will, but do not make heaven an accessory to this business, which has involved an amount of turpi- tude and stultification hardly paralleled 1 our political history The convention adjourned after nomi- nating Cleveland, and it is expected that to-day’s session will develop some interest. The probabilities strongly favor the nominatlon of Thurman for vice president, but the next thing in order will be the platform. There is re- ported to have been some hot and stormy discussion in the committee Tuesday night and yesterday, and there is likely to be a great deal more of this when the platform is submitted to the convention, whatever its character may be. The probability is that the convention will finally agree to an explicit and unequi- vocal endorsement of the president’s tariff policy as presented m his last message, and even if nothing be said in reference to the bill now before con- gress the endorsement of the president’s views would be in effect an approval of the most unfortunate features of the bill. It would seem that this course is absolutely necessary to consistency, and that anyeompromise or “straddle” will stultify both the candidate and the party. Undoubtedly the managers for the president in the convention will in- sist that his position on the taviff be fully approved, and doubtless they will be able 10 convince the convention that nothing less than this will be satis tory to Mr. Cleveland or wise for the party. Omaha and the Union Pacific. Senator Manderson has presented to the senate of the United States the pe- tition of the Omaha board of trade in favor of the Union Pacific funding bill, In Washington this will be taken as the expression of a commercial body representing the mereantile interests of the Nebraska metropolis, In Omaha it is known to be a transparent sham. The Omaha board of trade is com- posed of 230 membe There were just fourteen members preseut when the resolutions instructing the secretary to forward the petition were adopted. The whole proceeding was a farce so far as it pretended to represent the sentiments of the board of trade or of the citizens of Omuha generally, But it will serve the purpose for which it was gotten up just the same by affording an exeuse to our representatives in cou- gress for supporting the Union Pacific bill, The only veturn which we are prom- ised for favoring this bill tocontinue the exorbitant trans-Missouri tolls for fifty years longer is the construction of new yranches to the Union Pacific system. Where these brancnes will be built is problematic, Ten chances to one they will be built in Kansas and Colorado for the benefit of Kunsas City, the Boston managers of the Union Pa- cific have extensive pevsonal invest- ments. Possibly some of them will be built on the Pacific coast, If the Omalin board of trade had exacted some tan- gible guarantee from the Union Pacifie that it would carry into effect some of its long standing promises of improved transfer and depot facilities, the might be a shadow of excuse for allow- ing itself to be used asa decoy to our senators and representatives. ‘Lo in- sist upon such & guarantee from the Union Pacific would have been both timely and Dbusiness like. It has been give, give, on the. part of Omaha ever the voad was located here. Millions bonds, lands and rights-of-way been of the voad. -And all where give since in have we haveiun re- Mr. Cleveland | erously placed at the disposal | turn is broken contracts and unre- deemed pledges. If the managers of the Union Pacific had lived up to their obligations to this city, its population to-day would be double what it is, and the road would have the benefit of the traflic of a great city. As it is, we are fed on promises of great things which grow beautifully smaller as we grow older. B The Voice of Oregon. There was no encouragement for the democracy 1n the result of the Oregon election. The party had undoubtedly expected a different outcome. The cam- paign was made on national issues, and the influence of the administration was thrown into the scale to the fullest ex- tent practicable. No restraint was put upon the political activity of the federal officeholders in the state, outside talent was imported to stimulate democratic zeal, the duty of endorsing the policy of the administration was vigorously urged for the impression it would make upon the country at the opening of the national campaign, the im- portance of securing a demo- cratic senator, which would tie the two parties in the United States senate, was earnestly presented, and‘in short every possible effort was made to place Oregon in the democratic column. The result is a republican victory by an increased majority. The first expres- sion at the ballot box on the policy the administration is condemnator Whether it be ascribed to the propos tion to make wool free, or to that and other causes, the repudiation is unmis- takable, and it removes all question as to where Oregon will be found in No- vember if the republicans make no mistake at Chicago. There is a moral influence in this re- publican victory, by an increased ma- jority, at this juncture, which is of very substantial value. Its effect upon republicans everywhere will be reassuring. It proves that the influence of the administration, exerted through federal officeholders and by every means known to political manipu- lation, may be less formidable than has been feared. It shows that the people are very much alive to the issues that will be most conspicuous in the national campaign, and that their action will be largely determined by what they be- lieve to be their interests. The Oregon figures give evidence that a great many democrats deserted the party. Why may it not reasonably be supposed that there will be a similar experience in other states? All is not serene and har- monious at St. Louis. It is inevitable that the completed work of the national convention will disappoint many and embitter some. There are demo- crats in every state who will sacrifice party to personal interest. The in- fluences that swelled the republican vote in Oregon will not be absent el: where, and they will be nowhere more strongly operative than in the doubtful states of New York, New Jersey and Connecticut. There is great encourage- ment to republican confidence in the Oregon vietory J. STERLING MORTON, by far the ablest and most prominent of the Ne- braska delegation to the St. Louis con- vention, was deliberately snubbed by Mr. Boyd’s packing-house gang and purposely ignored in the division of honors bestowed by the delegation. Jim North, who knows a great deal more about mules than he does about plat- forms, was given the most prominent position on the committees. He was made a member of the committee on resolutions, for which J. Sterling Mor- ton is so eminently fitted. Jim North making a platform for the national democracy is enough to make a horse laugh. WarLe Mr. Morton was calmly lay ing outa park in Nebraska City—his gift to the town—Mr. Boyd was ene ically laying out Morton as a polit, cian. And now that Boyd is on top in the St. Louis convention, the high water of his enthusiasm has again widened the breach between the slaugh- ter-house and packing-house state men. The new Omaha bridge would not span the breach. It 1S getting late in the season for Chairman Baleombe to “order’ contr: tors to begin work on paving and curb- ing strects, the contracts of which had been let in 1887. From past experiences contractors will take their time and delay the work until the end of the year. The board of public works should take more stringent action to insure prompt- ness.

No further in- jury was done than breaking the glass. No clue has been obtained as to who the partios were."” In an interview with Mr. Howe, he stated to a Hastings Gazette-Journal reporter that the company had in view the construction of an extension of the Missouri Pacific road from its present terminus at Prosser in Adams_county w Kearney.

The citizens of that town are ~heartily in favor of this proposition, and it is probable that this kind of a deal will be carried out, and work begin luter this season.

The case was given to them at 8 o'clock. On the first ballot the vote stood seven for convic- tion and eight for acquittal. The penalty for this offense is imprisonment for not more than fifteen ) and not less than two years. A motion was filed for & new trial in the case. WOODS ON TRIAL. The case of the state against William Woods, charged with assault with intent to kill James Milton Kerns, was next called. Woods made an assault upon Kerns the night of April 6, last, with a pistol, and shot him twice in the head and three times in the hands and then beat him over the head with the butt end of the pistol. One of the shots struck Kerns' cheok just below the right e and came out near the nose, The other struck in the back of the head and made a scalp wound. The shooting took place on South Thirteenth street, near Murphy's brick yard Mr. Kerns was the first witness put on the stand for the state. He testificd that he had had a few words with Woods and his wife the night before the shooting about their treatment of their child, There was noth- ing said about the child until the next night, wiien Kerns was going home from being up town and Woods met him on the street and began shooting at him. On cross-examination the defense en- deavored to show that Kerns had been living with the Woods family and was interfering with their family affairs and endeavoring to get their child from them. Tt would secm from the testimony of Kerns that the trouble between the two men wout of a supposed intimacy between Kerns and Mrs. Woods. Kerns was not asked directly on this point, but all the ques- tions asked would indicate that this fact will be brought out during the triul. T first originated when the Kerns family an ‘Woods family lived in the same house in Illinois. C Physician Ralph was the next wit- ness called. He had dressed the wounds that Kerns had received the night of the 6th of April. He testified thatthe wounds on the head face and hands of Kerns were made by pistol shots and some blunt instrument like a club or the butt end of a pistol. Captain Cormick, of the police force, was the next witness called. HE WAS SLANDERED. Samuel Cohen began suit yesterday against Joseph Furguson for £5,000 damages for slan- der. Furgy used the following words about Cohen: “He stole a quilt from my store.” He also_ caused the following to be published in Tue Bee the 19th of May, 1888: “Cohen went to Furguson’s the other day to settle, and got into a dispute about a_quilt, which he says he purchased of Mr. Cody, one of the clerks, but which Mr. Furguson claims he stole from in front of his store.” 1t is for the aboye utterances the plantiff claims the $5,000. A SMALL VERDICT. The jury in the case of Redick against Russell tried before Judge Doane returned a verdict yesterday for the plaintiff, giving him possession of the prop- erty in question and fixing the damages at $1. NOT INSURED AGAINST WIND. e of Flannigan against the Conti- surance company was called yester- day for hearing. Flannigan is a colored man who supposed he had insured his house, barn, goods and chattels, in the above named company, against firc and tornadoes for €500, It seems that the tornado clause was not filled out in the policy and the plaintiff claims the insurance company took this ad- vantage of him because he could not read. The house was stru y a_cyelone and de- molished and he sues for £300 on the ground of fraud on the part of tho insurance agent The ecase was appealed from the county court. ASKING FOR AN INJUNOTIO!

Ghe funcral of John Mack, the switchman, who was killed on Monday last, took pla yesterday wmorning, from his late residen, on South Teuth street. The funeral services were neldat St. Patrick's church. It was attended by a large number of fricnds in car- riages,while the membersjof the switchmen’s uzion turned out in a larg The procession was headed by the A. O. H. band. By special request of the superintend- ent of the division, the funeral after leaving the church took 1ts line along Tenth street, wh at the crossing four draped engines were drawn up on either side, the bells of which were tolled as the procession filed be tween th locomotives.

He claims that he got the money iu question from the sisters in tho hospital, tho same having been given them by Murray when he entered the institution. The sister supposed O'Nill was a friond of the dead man and re. turned tho money 80 that it might eventually reach those who had the besttitle to it or that it might be used in defraying the expenses of Murray's burfal. O'Neill adheres to the story published, namely, that Murray had paid Dr. Smith $300 a short time before entoring the hospital to be cured of Aropsy. In a card over that gen- tloman’s name, which appeared in Tur I the physician says that Murray did nob p him a penny for medical treatmont, In ad- dition to froe treatment, Dr. Smith went to St. Joseph's hospital and paid $10 out of his own pockot for two wecks' board and attend- ance. Thus the matter stunds. When the mystory will bo unravelled and the incon- sistent statements harmonized cannot be imagined. GRIFFIN.

Mrs. Griffin was aged sovonty-six and the causo of her death senility. Atnounce- ment of the funeral will be mado later., DOES 1T ME;}J A DEPOT? Why Have U. P. Officials Formed a Real Estate Association? The talk of a union depot and alarge freight depot for the Union Pacific has been revived by the extension of the tracks of that company westward from Twenty-fourth street which, 1t is claimed, is being done be- cause the read requires more yard room at that place. There is doubtless some truth in this, but it is a well known fact that for s the different managements of the com- pany have been considering various locations in that part of the city for both passenger — and _ freight depots. This move is considered a larger one than is made to appear on tho surface, espocially when taken in connection with the incorporation which was filed a few days ago, whieh tells of the organization, with a capital of £50,000, of an association to buy and sell land and composed almost exclusively of Union Pa- cific officials, the leaders being T. L. Kimball, Erastus Young, C. J. Smith, John M. Thurs- ton and T. M. Orr It is not at all likely that the present engagements of these gentle- men would enable them to carry on a regu- lar real estate business,such as has been car- ried on here during the past few years. Neither would it be at all likely that they would have others to attend to the conduct of the business for them. The mos® probable inference is that these gentlemen have received a pointer as to the intention of the company to build a freight or passenger depot in a certain lo- cality and that accordingly, they intend to purchase in the neighborhood before the an- nouncement of the location is made and then secure a good return upon the investment when the proposed improvement shall have enhanced the value of their purchase. The gentlemen are quiet about the mattor bt so 1;: ml:nr],y everybody who is working a quiet deal. AMUSEMENTS. Nellie McHenry in “The Humming Bird" at Boyd's.
