THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: SUNDAY, MARCH 22, 1801.—SIXTEEN PAGES, GREELEY'S NOSE FOR NEWS How tho Editor of the Tribune Objected to Pool Belling, BAYARD TO RESUME POLITCAL LIFE. Btories of Bayard Taylor's Early Man- hood Told by One of the Oldest Editors in the Country, Wasnixaroy, March 19.—|Special Corre- spondence of e Bee.|—I understand that ex-Secretary Bayard will reenter political 1ifo auring the coming campaign. 1 got some now information concerning him at Phila- delphia the other day. It wes from G W. Vernon, the editor of the Wilmington Re- pubiican, a man seventy yeurs of age, and ono of the oldest. editors of tho Uaited States. Sald he: “Yes, I havo known Tom Bayard since he wisaboy. He was the son of James A. Bayard, senator of the United States, and Lo suceseded his father in the senate, and the Bayards have for years had a sort of right vo the senatorship® from Delaware. James A. Bayard was a finer looking man than Tom. Ho was six feot tall and had & magnificent head. He was & good- lawyer, but not an ex- traordinarily fine speaker. He went to New York and tried to practico law thero, but did not succeed, and 1 happen to know that John M. Clayton gave him the money which brought him back to Delaware. Ho needed $1,000, and Clayton lent 1t to him. Ihave no doubt that he afterwards paid him.” 4ls Tow Bayard wealthy " [ asked. No, 1 dont suppose he s, replied Mr. Vornon. ‘““He is probably worth about $100,000, o has not been a money-maker, and the most thathe has ho has gotten by marringe. Ho got somo with his first wife and he got something with tho wife whom he hasnow. Ho lives very nicely at Wilming- ton and has hung out his shingle and is agmn cing taw. Ho has not a very large but I suppose it pays very well. Ho started life, you know, as a m chant, and it was then #ho intention to make ais brothior, James Bayard, the statesman of She family. t to Philadelphia toro 1o a store, butJames Bayara died and they sent for Tom and brought him back to Wilnington and educated him as a states- man. He studied law and took his seat, while he was & young mau in the United Btates senate. HE KNEW BAYARD TAYLOR, “Where did you do your first newspaper work, Mr. Vernon!” “I began lifoas a printer,” said Mr. Ver- non, *‘and T was apprenticed in West Chester, Pa. While Iwas working at the trade Bay- ard Taylor was apprenticed in the same of- fico, and ho there began his nevispaner reer. Howas & tall, thin young man with a thin face and very dark hair. Ho was rather handsome looking, Shortly after he had finished his apprenticeship he wenton a paper at Phanixville, Pa. T think ho started the paper, but1t faled and ho then took up hisideaot going to Europe. The Evemng Post of Philadelphia and the United States Gazettoeach agreed to pay him 80 for his foreign letters, and he left for Europe with $140 in his pocket. Horace Greeey gve him an order for acertain number of letters, making the stipulation that they must be 00d enough for him to use, and in this way 0 becane connected with the Tribune, which connection hodept up all his life. He was @ very brilliant fellow and he wrote somewhat while he was at the printing office in West Chestor. He then signed himself James Bayard Toylor, aud he was named iaftor James A. Bayard of Delaware. After his majority he dropped tho name of James and_signed himself sim- ly Bayard Taylor. His first book bore on ts title pago the name of James Bayard Tay- lor, Isaw him several times during the lat- terpartof hiscareer. He had then grown very fleshy. and I believe that his death was astened by driniking too much German beor. 1o was very popular in Germany and he got too fond of German lager.” HOW GREELEY OIECTED TO POOL SELLING. Speaking of Horace Greeley, a man who worked nnder him iu the Tribune oftice, gives me the following : “Like many editorial proprietors in the United States,” said he, “Greeley was not supreme in his own newspaper office. Some of his men were better newsmen than he was and their judgmentas to the policy of the paper was beiter than his. AL ono time the races were on in New York and William . G. Shanks was city editor of the Tribme. There was a great oxcitement as to the races, and the pools in New Yok sold very high. Shanks reported these sales, and while ho was doing S0, Mr. Greeley coming down from his country Home, met him and said: ‘Mr. Shanks, I don't want the reports of that pool sollingpublished in the Tribune. This paper {0 high-toned amily paper and T think It i better to kkeep ail gambling and pool sellin; outof it. 1o _youunderstand? ~‘Yes, sai Shanks, ‘but I thought it was a matter of news and the peoplo were interested in it.” “It don't make any difference,’ said Grooloy ‘it's & bad thing and I don’t want it.! ‘Al :lx.fiz,!.,v said Shanks, and with that Girecloy “Shanks still thought the matter was too good o lose and hoping that the old man would_forget it, he printed the report agin next_day. Groeloy came down to the offica in a rago, called up Shanks and said: ‘How’s this, Mr. Shanks? I thought 1 told you to Jeave thiose blank pool sales out of the papor. T want you to understand that this is moro of a Sunday school sheet than @ Police Gazotte, and I want them left out.’ 10, said Shan'ss, ‘I'm sorry thoy gotin. I know you ordored them out, but my re- porter evidently did not understand it and thoy skpped in. uring these last two days, however, the races had got hotter and hotter and Shanks again hoping that Mr. Greeley would forget it, pus them jn, He then waited in fear and thembling for his editorand it was not late the next day when Greeley came in ib & tow- ermg _but helpless rago. Ho had a thin, squeaky voice and he shrieked out as soon as ‘he saw Shanks : “iBlank blank you, Shanks! Didn’t I tell Jou to leava those ool sales out of tho paport T'm going to punish you. I will seeif ¥ can't master {n_my own ofice! Blank blank you! If you put those pool sales in tne paper again Tyill have you indicted by the grand Jury!’ By this time, however, the mces were over and the pool selling stopped.” HOW GREELEY TREATED THAD STEVENS' LETTER. “No one could disturb Greeloy when ke e bue wrling," this men went on. ‘He was grufl even to rudenoss aud he would pay ne attention to any callor whoover it might be. One day & man came inwith a lotter from Thaddeus Stevens. Ho was a prominent man in Pennsylvenia. He ROt in somo way past the wateh dogs at the door and into (reeley’s sanctum, where, in an old gray duster, with his bix head nearly touching the ]mrvr upon his desk, he was soratehing away. He did ot look up as the man came in, and the man stood awhile waiting to be moticed. As Greeley did nov Lok Ip, e finally suid: ‘M. Greeloy, 1 have a lotter of introduction which Thaddeus Stovens asked me to presont o you.! Grocley said nothing and did not givoa sign that he had heard the romark, and the man laid down tho lotter fu front of bim and sat down. After sitting about ten minutes and getting nowign of recognition from Mr. Greeley, he ‘becamne hmfl ted hla ::c 15"'““';‘1 and o b pushe @ lettor of intro- funbon tfown. gty Groaley's. mamuscrpt. Grealey did not 1ook up, but keeplng his pen still going, Mo took his loft hand and with bis thumb ad foretinger snapped tho lettar oft tho othor side of the table. The man was more augry tham over, but there was a cer- tala bunor in the cconsion snd he picked up the envelope, took out the letter, opened it and laid it before Greeley; and Greeley kept o0 writing. The man then pushed the lewtor sslowly nfm aguin onto Greeley's manu- cript, 80 that he could mnot fail W see the signature of Thaddeus Stevens at tho bot- tom, Ureeley w il it got almost to his then he flipped ft away aguin, shy- A I s old Thaa, poywayl' and '}Y‘o- writig. It was halt )‘ 10 know. an hour beforo L him, ana when he did his interview short by Greeley again goiwg to work. THE PRESIDENTIAL 1TON KILLED HIM. ‘When Greeloy made that tour of his around the country ns a presidontial candi- date, he made a series of the most brilliant speeches that, ever came from the stump. He spoko at ove Iroad station and nearly always sald something new. 1 have talked with men who travelled with him during that campaign. ‘They tell me ho was moody and unsociablo, relapsing into an almost idiocy while he was fn the cars. He would protest aguinst going out to speak when the train stopped, but when dragged before the crowd, he would brighten up and make great There is but. little doubt that he ano and there is little dount in the minds of many but that his presidential am- bition had much to do with his death HOW SENATOR REAGAN REFUSED TUE SPEAKEI- s, General Cutcheon of Michigan and Senator Reagan of Texas were chatting about the coming speakership contest the other day, when the conversation turned to the numer- ous speakership fights in which Senator Reagan participated. ‘“The first,”” said he, “was i 1859, when John Sherman came within an ace of bekg elected, and though it is not generally known, 1 came very near be- ing clected speuker at this time " ““The fact is," continued Senator Reagan, “I believe I could huve had the speakeship at that time if ] had agreed to malke a cer- tain promse concerning it. The coatest was very closoand it lasted for weeks. Sher- man's friends stuck to him like those of Grant's at Chicago, and the parties were so divided that itseemed to be impossible to clect anyone, Bocock, of Virginia, was the el domocratic _ can- didate and Horace Clark, of New York, though not a_candidate himsclf, was the leader of the Douglass democrats and of that faction of our party which belioved in squat- ters' sovereignty. 1t was he who denounced Sherman as having endorsed the Helper book, and he was one of the influential men of the house. Toward the latter part of tho contest, which ran on into January, 8 got as high as 105 vot a me, and Pennington of New Jer- was elected on the fortieth ballot. Just before this Horacce Cinrk called upon me at my room and said: ‘Mr. Reagan, T can make su speaker of the house if 1l promise ©one tuing, Shorman bas just so many otes, and he cannot get any more. It is tho ame with Bocock and with the othe di- dates. 1f you will consent to be a candidate I will throw you the force of the Douglass democrats and can get you enough other votes to secure your election. The one thing 1 waot you to promise is that when you are elected ‘vou will make up a majority of the committee of territories of Dougluss demo- crats, and that you will make mo the chair- man of that committeo.’ " “ was rather surprised at this remurk from Mr. Clark,” said Senator Reagan, *‘and I veplied: *Mr. Clark, I like you very much, and I don't see any objection’ to the plan you pronose, provided 1 biad nov been told of it be- forchand, I can seono objection to your hav- ing the chairmanship of the committee on territories, nor of the committee being coustituted as you suggest, but inas much as you have asked me to do so, can sce that it would bo entirely wrong for me to ac- pi such a proposi I cannot promise to n, and [ donot care oikar c| 'ms.’ " sult o afow duys afterward 1 mada his speech of withdruwal,and unington was elected.” HOW SENATOR IATE VISITED ANDREW JACKSON. Senator W. B, Bate comes from tho Nash ville district of Tennessee, and he went to school as a boy within a few miles of the Hermitage. His teacher was the preacl of the Flermitage and he describes a vi which ho ouce paid to Andrew Jackson in company with this parson. “Itwas during the last years of Andrew Jackson's life,’ said he. “When we entered the house we saw Mr. Jackson sitting in an arm chairat oneend of the hall with his big white hat aaored with its black band beside bim. He nhada gold canein one hand and a long pipe in the other. He laid down the pipe as we camo in, arose and offered his hand to Mr. Hume, and then turning to me asked asto what was the name of the youngster he had brought with him. He told him that I was oneof, his Sumner county boys and that my name was Bate. He asked me if my grand- father was not one of his old officers, men- tioniug his name, and I replied that he was. Iremained at the Hermitage for two day: and upon leaving he gave me some very nice peaches and told me to take them home and plant the stones, I did soand they produced a fire variety of peach. This was as far back as 194 and tho trees were bearing at tho time of the war." COLOKADO'S NEW ELDORADO. A western congressman gives me the fol- lowing glowing talk about the new mining regions of Colorado. Suid he: *'One of the best of the new regions is that abont _Aspen. It will produce more than $8,000,000 worth of ore this year. Leadvilie produces an average of about $15,000,000 annually. It sometimes rises as high us 18,000,000 and sometimes 15 as low as $12,000,000, and this average of production has been kept up for more than eleven years. The mining region of Colorado is practicully inexhaustiblo. ~New mines are belng opanedt every day, and T doubt not, but thaymore than 35,000,000 will be turned out during the next twelve months. It is ad- mitted that there ave $11,000,000 worth of ore in sight at Aspen. One of the most success- ful miners in the west is Dave Moflat, the man who was bulldozed out of a fortune by & man and his bank at Denver not long ago. He owns the Frankln, which is paying very well and out of which $2,000 was taien in two montus. The ore of this mineis of a very high grade, and a wagon 10ac of it has been worth as muci as $26,000. The Smuggler is a good producer. The Molly Gibson looks like o jewelry shop, the silver is so apparent. Henry Gillispie, who went out to thls rogon on snowshoes, madea fortune out of the Spar and the Smufiglol’, and he had §4,000, He lost all this and then got an interest in tho Molly Gibson which is now worth $300,000 to m,” HOW SESATOR JONES MET CONGRESSMAN LAIDLAY, Senator Jones and Representative Laidlaw are both great men, and it Is surprising that two such mighty intellects should not have comein contact before, inasmuch as both have been in congress together for several years. Thoy have not mev however, and up until during the past session, they were not personally acquainted. Their introduction came through a littlo talk on silver in one of the cloak rooms of the house. Laidlaw see- ing Jones and evidently taking him for an ex- congressman or a stranger who had in some way slipped into the holy of holies, tho funor sanctam of the house, accosted him and asked him what he thougut of the silver bill of last session. Senator Jones made no bones of saying just what he thought of silver, Laidlaw straightway differed from him and the discussion soon an to wax warm. As the talk grew loud, other members gathered around aud listened, and Laidlaw in a bull- dowzing way, tried to bluff Jones and langhed at his arguments. At last, not dreaming that he was talking to Senator Joues, he said : “Idon’t know of anyone who has as foolish ideas on this subject as you have except that cranky Joues of the senate, who says’—and hereho quoted from one of Jones' speeches, “But Jores don't know what I am talkig about. . No one thinks anything of his opin- ion and he is a first-class crank.” “If you think so, 1 guess we had better dis- continue our discussion,” said the now irate senator. “Who nmrnu anyhow! “Tam a member of the house of represen- tatives, sir,” said Laldlaw, ‘‘from the state of New York, sir, and my name is Lmdlaw, sir, Now l)erluq\s, sir, you will tell me who in the devil you are, sir i 0, said Joues, very coolly, I am a mom- ber of congress from Nevada and I belong on the other side of the capitol and my name is Joues " Tableau! to by The Sheria ERANK G.

These employes include the messen- gors, drivers and their helpors, clerks, book- keepers and others who handle money or goous, and they number 10,000 or more. he men do not like the idea. Not ouly does the company demand likenesses, but it also reguires complete descriptions of the men. Theprinted blank says that the fol- lowing information regarling cach employe must be prepared and subscrived to by the superintendent or agent: Name, residence, place and date parents’ name and vesidence, height, complexion, color of hair, color of ey what hair is worn on the fa of hair on the face, and auy particular marks ordeformities ' by which the employe n bo identified.

If Gompers on Hours of Labor. During the past week the council of federated trades has been holding its annual session in San Francisco.” One of the features of the session was tho address of President Gompers, which was delivered Friday. In substance he spoke as follows : I'rom the time that Aristotle declared that “that is the most perfect system of socioty which provides for the happiness of all its members'’ down 10 our present cra, when wo ave living under a_constitution based upon “that all are born free and equal,” L lo has been waged between the wealth-producers and the wealth-absorbers to obtain a larger share of the result of human exertions,commonly known under tho name labor. At one time the greatest aim in life and the loftiest aspivations were to de- velop the militant side of the human charac- ter; now we find, through the ever-increas- ing spirit of commercialism, the demand for groater industrial progress and development. ‘And yet, while the new order of progress is still batflng with the last vestiges of feudal and medieval conditions, the new order con- tains elements within itsolf struggling with each other for ascendancy—for still greater progress—for the full realization of the decl ration of that grand and earliost of philoso- phers, Aristotle, There can be 1o question in the minds of observers that the greatest offorts and deepest thoughts of the human family are to conquer that most important of all things— Time, How can we encompass tho continent! How can we reach another partof the world quickly? How can we prodace such and such an article swifter! are alt in themselves quostions that seek to conguer the fleeing moments of time, On the other hand the wage-workers, who, being the producers of the wealth of the world, are considering for themselves, tho question, which, while pressing upon the minds of others with so much persistency, is one that reaches nearcst theie life and belug than all other considerations combined— time. Meet corporate power or the employing class under any clroumstances and you will find the tendency on their part to secure the longest number of hours of toil from the workers. That hundreds of thousands of the veople of the country are walking the stroots in idieness, that those who ave employed too many hours a day wearing away their lives uud driving them vo o premature old age and doath, forms no part of tholr econouic oresd. They waut all the time they can squeeze out of the human as well as the steam lua- chine, Argue with them that sucha policy is shortsighted, that it1s false political econ- omy and that' it has a tendency to prevent the full development of the mental as well as the physical part of the human family, and puts & quietus upon industrial aad o mercial progress, and you will bo met with a shrug of the shoulders, implyiug, “After me, the flood,” or *“Each for himself and the d—— take the hindmost.” He forgets, bow- over, that if his inforred or uttered’ senti- ments are fully carried out, bis sataic majesoy will be continually taking the hind- most, until be who is in the front rank will be veachad, for he will then be the hipdmpst. On the part of the Wage workers we also urgothe consideration of the question of time, for 1 us there is no question of great- er moment, How can we maintain the politi- enl rights achieved for the human fawmily How can we secure o lavger share of the pro- duce of our labgri How can wo prevent the ressing concentration of mind and muscle, anfhl about by machinery, from wearin our lives out prematurely ! must be answel 10 the satisfaction of the constantly growing investigating chawacter of the labor move- ment, apd those who sympathize with the x'.fnm and noblo aspirations of the member- ip of the Amerigan federation of labor, 1 0 offer &5 & meaus to the solution of this | del of the reduetion of the words the saving of 1t must not ml ltflmcl\l bo Imagined that a redaction of thb hdurs of labor would at &l have A tendency to diminish either the produc- tivity of tue laboreror vhe aggrogate produc tion of the peovle, for it is demonstrated that that wherover the hours of lobor have boon reduced it has béan followed by an increased production per capfta and as a whole.

View the movement to reduce the tonrs of labor from any standpobnt, and you will find it based upon science and economy, po- litical and social necessity or -expedien and {8 in the lino of progress and humanity.

A Washington papor in commenting upon the situation says STt is probable that this means war, as the Job oftices as a rule cannot standsuch a raise.
