THE OMAHA DAILY BEEj, ONDAY. OCTOBER 29, 1388, THE OLD STORY OVER AGALN, Towa as Surcly Republican as for Thirty Years Past. THE UNION LABOR PARTY DYING. Old Pete Dey Scared Clean Ouat of His Boota—His Double Dealing Meth- ods Disclosed—The Rate In- Junction Case, They Must Swallow Defeat. Des Moises, la, Oct N, —[Special to Tue Bep) —One more week and the agony will be over, and the democrats of Towa will swallow their defeat as philosophi cally as they have for thirly years past. arly in the canvass it looked as if some of the democratic candidates might pull through, especially for railroad eommission ers, but the p ts 0f & swoeping republi can victory have materially improved in the past two woeks, I'he splf-respecting farmoers could not stand the dictation of republican railroad lawyers and have “taken to the Swoods in latge numbors, and some of them have even gone over to the Fisk and B party. The defalcation of Chairman Hunt and the radical free trade utter Frank Hurd have com) tion, and the democracy of the campaizn in a ho condition. Blaine carried plurality of less than 20,000, but I uajority over Cleveland will be large unless the democrats speedily from their apath; This campaign will practically witness the death of the union labor party. Last year bk armer Caine'' r hout 15,000 votes for governor, but the party will hardly poll halfas many for Strecter, their candidate for president. The party is torn asunder by internal dissensions. The Weller faction mn the northeastern part of the state is in favor othigh license aud opposed to fu: The Gillette f: mear Des Moiues prohibition and Weaver's crowd will support any movement calculated to make votes for thoir idol. Whether Weaver will get back into congress or not is & question. Mayor Lacey his republican opponent, is crowding him closely aud has boldly entered the fist and faced the greenback leader on the ‘atump-in joint debate. mer Caine,” who Lives in his district, has openly bolted We: er's nomination and the end is not yet. Wea: xefuses to say whether he will vote for St or for Cloveland, and evidently does mot know whether he is running on the union labor or democratic platform. The Gillette faction 13 headed for the prohibition and another year the disintregation of enback or union labor party will be complote. Sovereign of Atlantic, in his wild “desire to get Judge Harris, the democratic candidate for concress in the Ninth district, Off the track, has gone completely over to the democrats, or at least is making speeches wnder the direction of their central committee, Still Harris sticks, and likely will until the ond of the campaign, and Sovereign’s hope of B0ing to congress will vanish. *_ The worst scared man in lowa to-day is Peter A. Dey. His anti-monopoly profes- Blons have been shown to be a hollow mock ery. Itis now pretty well established that e suspended the taking effect of the sched ule for five days in the absence and without the knowledge or conseut of his_republican colleagues, in ve the railroads time o serve their injunctions, and that he se- v fyrnished the roads rate sheets in ad- wvaace aitl intormed them of the probable action of the commission. The latest dodge o secure votes for Dey is the printing of u long extract in circular form of Governor bee's recent speech at Guthrie Center erely arraigned the corpora- fionsiwwith a ¢ comiendation at the bottom ¢ and two republicans, aud scattering it broadcast throughout the state. (‘The circular was‘unsigned, and to a_casual réndor it would appear ns if the govertior rec- _ommended this ‘action. The speech was Pprinted i 3mall type and a person looking over it hastily and reading only the words in arge type ocould” not hely congliding that arrabee was supporting Dey, which 15 not trhio,. ‘The governor says Dey’s unwarranted action in suspending the schedule is the most embarrasing thing the attorneys for _the stato have 'to meet and that had 1t not ‘been for this the schedule cutting down freight rates nearly one-third would have boen in operation long ago. That Dey will _Ret the solid railroad vote goes without, say- ‘ing, and this is his only chance of election. 'he appeal from the Fairall injunction re- straining the railroad commissioners from putting the schedule of June 25th in force in gespect to the Burlington, Cedar Rapids & Northern, the Chicago, Rock Island & Pa- <ific, and other roads chartered by the state and incorporated under Iowa laws, was ably mrgued In the supreme court this week. The atlorneys for the state insisted that “&he injunction was virtually sagainst the stato and if sustained would prohibit the state from exercising her sovereign powers gnd therefore clearly unconstitutional, “yhile the attorneys for the roads took the Position that even if it was, no atate had a #ight to establish such 8 ratc as woula bank- FupL tho railioads, or ut least prevent them from earning any dividends upon their in- aestments. Both sides were well argued and the court took the matter under advisement. T'he judges will §ive the question thorough tion and their opinion on the case wvill hardly be filed this term. - Judges Beck, Weed and Robinson are £eled on by the ped. le to overrule the ipjunction, and_even Beerers and Hothrock may concur. Should the injunction be sustained, it will be on somo technical . point, aud not on the broud Ehmlpll contended for by the corporation wyers. Should the decision be in favor of the roads Governor Larrabee in all proba- Bility will_convene the lecislatire in extra session, Rud recommend the emactment of tbe schadule proposed by the commissioners, #nd other stringent measures that will make the corporations wish they had takeu their first dose of medicine uncomplainingly. The suits instituted in the local courts will likely @wait the determination of this point, as verything hinges upon the question whether he schedule is legally in force, the republican candidate for lector in this (Seventh) cou- ressional district occupied the same posi- Lo years ago on the fusion ticket, Mr. Wilcox was formerly a grecnbacker but re- lizing that his party has seen its best days lie came over to the republicans last fall aud 48 doing effective work on the stump. The democrats are running a rencgade re- ublican for prosecuting attorney in this Polk) county, who is willing to accept their wvotes but is going to vote tho republican na- Gional ticket. The issue is on the enforce- ment of the prohibitary law. ‘The frantic efforts of the democrats to capture & part of the Scandinaviau vote is really amusing. Two Swedes are on their state ticket and any person of that nationality hing of the democrats they far their efforts have not beeu_crownea with very brilliant success. The Swedes are a reading and thiuking peo- plo and not easily hoodwinked. A small lowocratic Scandinavian club has been formed in this city, made up chiefly of mail carriers and others in public employ, but we hear of no spontaneous uprisiug ' of the Bwedes throughout the state as the demo- erats predioted.

A great many bets ave reported Bnd a great many bluffs are put out instead ofbots. Oneof the most remarkable cases ‘of this kind was that of anold gentleman mamed Claflin, a brother of the notod Tennie ©. Claflin.

Drs Moixes, Oct. 25.—(Special to Tie Bre.|—The abuse of the mail service for partisan purposes is creating much indigna tion i this state.

L — Assesying Office Holders, Des Morxes, Oct. 25.—(Special to TuE Bre.|—The democrats are putting the assess ment thumb-screws into federal office hold- crs in this state with great vigor. The state committee has milked the cow several times, and now the uational committee is working for what is left. A letter from the Towa member of the national committee, Mr. J. J.

It is extraorinarily large and of fine quality. In this part of the state farmers report a. yield of from 150 to 200 bushels an acre. The season closed dry, with late frosts, sa that the crop matured nicely and is of the best quality. Prob- ably the largest single crop in the state was at Independence. There on less than forty acres a crop of 8,125 bushels has been safely housea. This was on the farm attached to the insate asylum there, and the work was mainly done by inmates of the hospital. — Where Do they keep the finest first water blue diamonds? - Answer, Edholm & Akin, opposite postoffice, cor. 15th and Dodge. e A New York Policeman Shot.

BLOODY ORDER OF ‘LA MAFIA." Assassing and Blackmailers—The Hex agonal Mayoralty Pight—Trinity's Tower in Danger—Nell Nelson's Crusade in the Metropolis. The 1talia; New Yonk, Oct [Special Correspond- ence of Tur Bre.]—Whatever the Calitor- nians may think about the Chinese, it is cer tain that here in this empire city the Italians area more unpleasant,’a more dangerous, and an iufinitely dirtier class, Tbere is an Italian quarter in Brooklyn as well as in New York, and T have occasionally found myself in both, The Chinaman is profoundly vicious 1 have no doubt. The experience of the Pa- cific slope and of Australia proves conclu- sively that they have no moral sense. But they have a comprehension of the decencies of existence and of city life, which enables thew to get along smoothly enough, o long asonly the surface of things is examined. Not 50 with the Italians from the south, and especially from Sicily, for they havo no no- tion that they are expected to be decent. New York is disgusted with them. They are cternally shocking the community in one way or another, und apparently the Catholic church cannot control them. They do not want to be married by priests because questions would be raised which it would be difficult to answer. So they come to the mayor and to aldermen and to justices of the peace who will tie the kuot for nothing. In this way uncles and nieces become man and wifc and aunts and nephews, and also di- vorces and romarriages are arranged among themselves i the most offnand way. Girls appurently not twelve are married to grown men, and all the assistants either swear that the child, s sixteen or mutter “‘nix Inglese,” and shake their hoads. Mayor Hewitt made such a marriage recently, and after it was over he leanod his elbows on the table of his desk, dropped his bead into his hauds and romained ruminating specchlessly for twenty mioutes 1 predict that whether he is «e-elected mayor or not, he intends to commence a crusade against Italian immigration, and none too s00n either. WIAT IS THE MAFIA, So long as there was reason to believe that the murder of Antonio Flacconio under the shadow of the Cooper Institute was a simple act of knifing, 1 sent you no word of it. What was the use of gathering information about crimes to supplement telegraphic intel- lizence! But the police, probably the famous inspector of the detective force have come to the conclusion that it was an oficial assas- sination ordered by & secret society called “La Mafia.” T have pestered all my Italian acquaintances to discover what La Mafia is, and am able to inform you that it 1s precisely the same thing as the Camorra of Naples, the only difference between the two bei that Lu Mafia is confined _exclusively to Si- . Flacconio was & Sicilian, and it believed that he was murdered either be- canse he had left the society or because he refused to obey its orders, La Mafla like La Camorra, is an orgunization comprising all classes of socicty, associated solely for the purpose of levying black-mail. Under the bourbons the two societies flourished 5o that a man could not bring figs or melons to the market without paying so much to them. In consideration for this blackmail they under- take to assist all these who are their clients in all their business transactions, to_molest their cnemies, to help their friends, to harass their rivals, to give them the benefit of secret mflueuce in civil suits, and to help them if the commit crim- inal acts. Aud prior- to the coming in of | the Amadel they actually carried out ‘theit professions. So longas a man paid his dues to the Oamorra and the Mafia he might mur- der, ravish, burn or steal with impunity, angd it was because decent people were 80 sick of this state of things that the bourbons were expelled, Tho general government will miot stand uny nonsense, and so these degraded wretches from tue south are flocking into New York that they may practice here the horrors which have been too much for Italy. SIX RICHMONDS 1N ‘TIiE PIELD, Erhard, Grant, Hewitt, Coogan, Wardweil and Cynthia Leonard. All theso ‘are_oandi- dates for the mayoralty of this city, and the fun is immense. - The divine Cynthis repre- sents the candidate for mayor upon Belva Lockwood’s ticket, and it is possible that she will receive many more ballots than, the. re- sponsible head. No one cares for Belva, who is simply regarded as an outcome of the fad for political equality of thetwo scxes—an absurd doctrine, because a man’s political rights are based upon the right of tho state to take him for a soldierwhen it wants soldiers. But Cynthia has some claim to popularity because she is the mother of Lillian Russell, the actress and singer. The candidate parted from her husband ten years ago in Chicago becauso he scouted her doctrines, and she maintainea them all the more because of the marital opposition. Lots of young fellows who idolized Lillian Russell before she ma ried Solomons, the composer, have re. sumed their idolatry now that the wayward pair are parted and will vots for Mrs. Leonard 10 show their devotion to her daughter. Men do not hold their right to the ballot for such tomfoolery, but this is a special occasion, and no one can regard the six candidates without an inclination to laugh. It is & fact that this is a bouffe campaign, and - this is largely due to the character of Grover Cleveland and to the determination of his mugwump supporters to_educate the public up 10 their ideas. We have been so dosed with political economy that a reaction has tuken place, and men are beginning to regard the whole business as profoundly farcial. ‘There is a very serious side to it, and this eternally crops out. Nobody knows what the labor vote thrown for Coogan wil amount to, but everybody knows why the armories of the Seventh and Twelfth regi- ments have been made practically forts, and why the armory of the Kighth, the corner stone of which was laid recently by Governor Hill, is also to be a fort. I learn that the Twenty-second regiment is hkewise to have @ fortress armory, and it is obvious that it is the intention of the rich men of the city to cover it with these menaces. They are built with the money of the people under the pre- tence of providing against the possibility of mob law, but it is notorious that only those regiments are furnished with these struct: ures that are known to be fricadly to capital. No fortress armory will be built for the gallant Sixty-nirfth, a regiment with a heroic record. Whyt Simply because the men and the offi- cers are all toilers, are all hard-fisted workers and it is supposed that they would not aid in opposing the constituted authorities if by a turn of the wheel the labor men should suc- ceed in electing their candidates. It is difi- cult to see any difference between these structures and” the castles of the Roman barons that were destroyed by Rienzi, or those of the robber barons of Germany that were put down by the guilds and the vehmgerichl. There is, however, an essen- tial distinction. The robber barons built their castles with their own money, but the money barons of America have built theirs by the taxation of the oppressed working classes, TOWER TOTTERIN thrilling racter has been emitted by the Kpiscopalians of this city. A series of ugly cracks and fissures in the chancel arch, and in different parts of the western roof, and in the Broadway facade on each side of the tower that is surmonnted by Trinity's famous spire, have terrified Dr. M an Dix and Colonel Cruger who man, ages the pecuniary interests of the parishion ers. Kxperts were enguged to make a thorough investigation and they have made a roport which is far from consoling. They state in effect that all the tower part of Hroadway has been built upon nuu‘ which had been swept on the southern end of Manhattan Island years ago, and that the gnoiss rock which everybody believed was our founda- tion, only commences somewhere near A. T, Stewart's store, between Ninth and Tenth streets. Sand ordinarily makes the best kind of foundation, but the experts say that in this sand there are pockets of quicksand, which may be set. in motion by external oction. lu the case of Trinity it ix supposed that the predisposing cause is the elevajed railroad whickh ruus behind it. The cou- tinual farring gnotion communicated to the 80il by the iron Beams that support the strue- ture have set il agtion several small pockets, and these have brike down here and there the sand foundation of the church, Old New Yorkers remewber that when Kendall, the famous archite¢t of the Cyrus Field building at the battory, iy for the Wood Bros. their great carriave Tagtory nearly opposite the Astor library, the entire north wall fell with @ hidoous roar just after the roof had beeu put on. Evervhody said “‘bad mortar" and cussed the building. inspector, but investiga tion proved that tho damage had been done by a pocket of guigk sand. It was pessible to remedy matiers, there, and 1 cannot see why the same ¢angot be done for Trinit Colonel Cruger could easily learn from Mr. Kendall what he did at that time AMON@THE SWEAT BOXES, The New York: World evideutly cares much more for Nell Nelson’s letters th for the campaign. That much is clear There are indications that the editorial mind has come to the conclusion that the jig is up for Cleveland, for otherwise it would be im- possible to explain two things—the Nell Nel son letters, which play directly into the hand of Coogan, the labor candidate for mayor, and the practical retirement and dis. grace ‘of Ballard Smith, who interviewed Cleveland and was, s ond might say, the ad- ministration man of the paper. He has been manager of the Brooklyn branch of the World, and no one who does not know Brooklyn can realize the insignificance of such “a position. It is practical dismissal, The whole gist of the Nell Nelson letters is to show that the tariff plays no part at all in the question of cheap clothes, and that they are an outcome of the conditious that permit a degradation of labor so fearful that 1t cannot be contemplated without a shudder. The main condition is the divorce of the interests of those who make things from the trade in them. Capital puts its money 1nto something und goes into the mar- ket for sweating labor, as the cant tvord is. The consequence is that here in New York have been reproduced all the horrors that Kingsley described 1 Yeast forty years ago. The prices paid under these circumstau are independent of 41l tariffs and all trades unions and can be measared only by the in- humanity of the employer. He gives not what the labor is worth, but just as little as will enable his work-peaple to continue work- ing. All the papers are noticing cases of ex- treme hardship and destitution, and in one instance, that of a German tailor, a widower, who was trying to support four little children by work in one of these sweat boxes, the public sense of wrong was so aroused that @ subscription was made for him, and he was given work by a good tailor who did mot sweat his people. One man saved: but in the name of suffering humanity how does that solve the probiem for the thousands whose moans are unheard and unsuspected ! They die and make no sign; but will God forgive their deaths by slow. starvation? And the capitalists answer these cries ot suffering by building armory-forts!

His ro- marks were supplemented on the part of the Dominie as to the causes, origin, objects and resultsof valley fogs in gen- eral, by which his companion was very much edified, ana doubtless convinced of the good man’s condition. As the ebservers looked over the ap- parently boundless expanse of cloud, they noticed a gentle movement in the mass, which gradually became rough- ened and then broke into billowy shapes until it resembled a great white sea with innumerable waves rolling and tumbling under the influnce of the wind. Then the movement increased, ut white masses broke off and drifted aiong Like billows of snow; rifts sud- denly opening showed glimpses of a world beneath, then closed again, The golden fingers of the sun were pia with the Lfmnl:. or, a8 the Dominic pressed it, <Old Sol was stripping the coverlet from the sluggish earth.” “By and by, said he, “the people in the valley will know that the sun is up; they have notseen him yet.” Then wider rifts appeared. the little plateau half way down the mountain, with the cottage and stables, came into sunlight, and gray strips and streamers of fog floated ll)rnug{l the adjoining woods: then trees in the valley, patches of the plain and stretehes of ~ the river showed. Now the whole mass was in motion, broken into curling fragments, some of which drifted away before the wind. Others, driven against the side of Mount Tom,crept slowly up its steeps, but all fast dissolving under the influ- ence of the sun’s rays, till in half an hour from their first view, Tinto and his_friends looked down upon the earth bathed in sunlight, with not a speck of cloud or fog to dimits brightness. —— Warner's Log Cabin Sarsaparillaregu- lates the yegulator.

My, Stuffiebean, of this county, went: to hié well, a distance of some 200 yards from his dwelling, to replenish his water bucket, writes a Greenville, Tex., correspondent. Thewater being drawn aud the bucket filled, just as Mr. Stuftle- bean stdoped over to set the buoket onm the ground, a large black snake which lay coiled wpon the branch of a tree projecting just above the man and within.a few feet, dropped from the tree upon his neck and in an instant al- most was coiled about his neck. Mr. Stufflebean called for help as long as he could; but this was not long, as upon his secopd attempt to his voice he was frustrated, for the ser- pent had so tightened itself about his throat that the little shout he was able to make was inaudible. In his despera- tion he caught the snake around the neck,and with a well nigh maddencd effort zradually loosened its tight em- brace. It by degrees relaxed its hold. On tearing it from his neck he threw it on the ground and ran toward his house. He was s0 weak and exhausted by this time that he was compelled to stop and rest. At this juncture his brother, seeing him and knowing from his actions that something must be wrong, went to meet him.

Forum: The hours of labor as a whole have heen diminished. [n. the factory ten hours have become custom i place of eleven or cven twelve: usual hours of work in textile factorie forty or fifty years ago have been thir teen and even fourteen, In the build- ing trades, nine and ten hours have become customary in place of eleven and twelve and even more. In all the great retail shops and wholesale ware- houses in which goods are distributed, the hour of closing is earlier und the hour of upening is later than it used to be. The optimist can thus find on every side facts which sustain his view that the gencral struggle for life is becom- ing easier and not harder, while the statistics of the life insurauce com- panies prove that the duration of life is lengthening. Forty or fifty years since, the daughters of the farmers of New England worked thirteen hours a day in the cotton factory in order to carn $175 a year; to-day Irench Canadians, work- ing ten houis a day, carn $300 a year: yet the cost of lubor is less now than ever before. In a broad and general way it might be proved that Uncle Sam and his children have obtained such power over the mechanism of produc- tion and distribution during the last twenty-fiv rs, that if the long hours of work required thirty yeavs ago to produce the materials for'a narrow and poor subsistence were now applied under the new conditions, the same hours would yield at least one-third more of all the necessaries of life than they did then.

Mr. Stimson, in his card to the St. Louis Globe-Democrat, speaks in a disparaging tone of the Continental Sunday. Having spent the sumwmer in Paris and Antwerp, I observed with much pleasure that on Sunday the mu- seums and gardens were filled with workingmen and their families, appar- ently deriving much enjoyment and possible good from the works of art and nature with which they were sur- rounded. On the other hand, upou my return to St. Louis I was forcibly struck at the sight of a number of men and boys, on Sunday afternoon, skulking up alleys and sauntering into rear entrances of low dives in guest of liquor and degra- dation. Itseems to me that it is just barely possible that certain features of the Continental Sunday might with profit be grafted into our own institutions Advice to Mothets. Mus.
