FIRST REPUBLICAN RALLY, Campaign of the Party Opened at Judge | Post's Home, SITUATION IN NEBRASKA REVIEWED. | Bon. Edward Rosewater's Logical Deductions—Interesting Facts and Figures on the Popular Issues of the Day. Corvmnus, Neb,, Oct. 10.— Special to Tur Brr.|—Tho first republican rally of this year's campalizn was heid this afternoon in this city, the homo of Judee Post. The meeting was held in the opera house, which had been appropriately decorated for the oc- casion. Thero was an attentive audience, composed of representative residents of Platte county, amopg them being several members of the farmers allian, Mr. Edward Rosewater, Colonel C. Scott, ox-Congressman Connell of Omaha, Judgo Post, ex-Senator MeAllister and others. Tho meeting was called to order by Mr McAllister, who introduced Mr. Rosewator 83 tho speaker of the occasion. Mr. Rosewater plunged at once into his subject, speaking first of the discontent among Nebraska farmers and the origin of the alliance movement. The growth and gradual roiapse of the allianco movement were dwelt upon and the attempt of ambi tious leaders, mostly old greenbackers, to re vive the old party for their own ends touched upon. He followed this by an ac- count of the recent movements of the party in this state and proceeded to show by facts and figares from cfiicial reports that the last logisiature, aithough in the hands of the iu- dependents, was the most reckiess and ex- travagant in the history of the state. The highhanded methods of the leaders of the independent party was shown in their true light. The national platform of tho in- dependent varty was then taken up and ‘the spenker showed, by num- erous documents, the many fallacious statements made in that ~ instrument. The national bank question, the siver issue and other topics of like natire were taken up and discussed at_length, the speaker using numerous statistics to substantiate state- ments made by hun. Coming to the question of the state campaign, Mr. Rosewater spoke of the well known honesty and excellent rec ord made by Judge Post and the necessity for electing a competent man to the supregno bench. The metbods pursued by Edgerton in his efforts 1o be eiectd to some oftice, were exposed fully. The double dealing’ Paul Vandervoort, who is stumping tho state for Edgerton and endeavoring to turn the soldier voteto the independent tickot, was shown up and some savory incidents connected with that worthy's record were substantiated by ample proof.

Warner, chairman of the recop- tion committee, introduced Bishop White- head, who aelivered the opening prayer. Adjutant General McClellan welcomed the delegatos i behulf of the state. Mayor Gour ley welcomea the delegates in behalf of tho people of Pittsburg and Alleghany. The president of the association, ex-Pres:- dent R. B. Hayes, was then introduced and delivered his unuual address, Mr. Huyes said that a large majority of tho prisoners accused or convicted of crime in the United States were dealt with in defiance of justice and wise principles in these four vital particulars, First—The begloners in lawbreaklng and those only suspected of gullt are detained for teiul, nuddiod together with old and hardened offenders. Socond—Professional eriminals at the end of thelr terms are sent forth to prey again upon soclety and to Influence others to lead oriui- nal lives.

Ciicaco, TIL, Oct. 10.—Discoveries have been made which loave little doubt that at least one roaa has decided to cut the rate on corn between Chicago and the Atlautic sea- board. Gill & Fister of Baitimore, who are the most extensive exporters of the grain in the United States, are said to be np to their old tricks again. Two years ago, when thero was a heavy corn crop, this firm sent agents into Kansas and Nebraska and made con tracts for immense quantities of corn on the basis of a 20 cont rate from Chi- cago to the seaboard, although the rate then in effect was 25 cents per 100 pounds. Whon the corn_was ready to be shippod t Baltimore & Ohio reduced the rate to cents, and, of courso, the inference was that it did so by previous agreement with the shippers. That the same game is to bo played this year seems almost certain. It has been discovered that Gill & isher are again contracting for corn, and at prices that othor dealers cannot touch. I'he lowest price at which competing firus can agree to deliver new corn in_Baltimore is 52.06 cents per bushel, while Gill & Fisher have booked it at51 cents. It 1s claimed that this could not be done without assurauces of an ad- vaatago in rates, and it is believed that when the new corn begins to move the Baltimore & Obio will reduce the rate either openly or otherwise. Porhaps the Indians, Illicols & 10wa line will be called upon to stand a ne tion of the reduction. ‘The conteacts provide that the property shall be delivercd at Balti- more prior to Juraary 1, and it is said_that enough corn has been bought ap by Gill & Fisher alone to keep the Baltimore & busy upto that date. Tho general freight agents of some of the Chicago lines are wearing long faces in cousequence of this state of affairs, Such manipnlations are, of course, calculated to injure Chicago as a erain market, and many roads that have been ex peecting an enormous tonnage as soon as the corn begins to move will find they bave been badly “'scooped.” The Board of Rulings of the Truuk ino and Central Traftic associations have ad journed. The following statemer t was given out today: Tho Board of Rutings investi gatea at Chicago the charge that the Wabash company had authorized a return to the pay ment of commissions, and the explanation of its general manager was received to the offect that tho dlars 1o the party who issued it were intendod only to apply to Canadian_and_colonial traftic, upon which tho Canadian Pacitic and the Grand Truak companies have continued to pay commis sions.

Bavtivore, Md., Oct. 10.—The report that the negotiations with English sharcholders of the Ohio & Mississippt Railroad company for unification of tne Baltimore & Ohio South western_and tho Ohio & Mississippi, have beon substantially completed, is accented nere as correct. It is undersiood that tho arrangement contemplates putting the Ohio and Mississippi 1nto the very best phssical condition and cquipping 1t thoroughly from end to end, involving an expenditure of pos- sibly over §2,000,000 on the line and reducing the rate of interest upon the bonds, the Bal- timore & Ohio Railroad company and the Baltimore & Ohio Southwestern to become responsible for the reduced interest. The arrangement also contemplates the settiement of the differences between the preferred and the common shareholders of the Ohio & Mis- sissippi. e ECUMENICAL COUNCIL Methodists' Delegates Aadressed by loquent Speakers. Wasmixaroy, D, D, Oct. 10.—The fourth day’s session of the Methodist ecumenical coupcil was presided over by Rev. Dr.Artour of England, The committee on busiuess re- ported a number of resolutions and memo rials, whici were held for consideration at a later day. The regular programme of the day was then taken up, the subject for dis cussion beion being “Tte Church and Scien- tific Thought.” The first essay wis one pre- pared by Percy Wr Bunting, editor of the Contemporary Review, entitled. “lufiuence f Modern Scientific Progress or Religious hought.” In Mr. Bunting's absence the paper was read by J. B. Slack of London. Rev. James Trabletree of England thought it very desirablo to establish tbe greatest friondship between religion and ccience. In any divorce between them it was religion that will suffer. W only exvose ourseives s thinkers and teachers to ridicule if we as- sume that all those who criticise us do so out of u bad heart.

Through a lack of information on th subject the peopl tha city in their travels over couutry and in meeting Straugers gave the impression that Omaha was not & manufacturing city They were ail aware of the existence of two or three of tne oldest and largest plants and never failed to call tne attention of stran to them, put they were not awure of the dozens of fine plants that had been located during the past three or four years alonz the Belt line in the outlying aaditions of th city, and in fact all over the city from Nor to South Omaha. Few cities in the country could prosper as Omata has doue under such adverse adver- tising from its citizens. This city of Omaha has grown so rapidly during the past few years that it has been n difficult task for even the most wide awake citizen to keep up with the develop- ment of home industries. Tii Bri's icles on local manufacturing intorests have been a_great surprise to most peoplo who had no idéa that such a large variety of goods swere made 1 Omaha nd that the fuctories were doing s0 much to help the city by giving employment to labor. When they realize how much more these factories might do for the city if onlv patronized by the people of Omahia they recognize at once the folly of sending east for overvthing. The dull times of the past few months have given the people a chance to pause and study the true situation, and the more the subject is thought about and talked about the more evident it becomes thaf the practical way of increasing the city’s prosperity is to build up manufacturing interests The only way to acromphish this end is by patroniziug those factories alrcady located hero, thus enabling them to eniarge their plants and to increase the uumber of their employes. At the same time other fuctorics will be encourazed to loeate hiere where thoy would be certain of receiving their sharc of patronage. The realization of thasa facts by the people of Omaha accounts for the rapid development of the home patronage sentiment, which bids fair o give & new impetus to locl manu facturing and put new life into every kind of business, While the people have commenced in good carnest to purchase howe made goods, they nave limited theic patvonuge largely to such lines of business as have been specialiy brought to notice by Tur Ber. There are. however, a great many other branches of industry’ which are equally deserving and which could be made of far greater use o the city it home patronage were extended to them. one o ot the aundries of On Oue branct of industry which las erown beyond the owledge ot the ndrying business. oW vears ago m laundries iu Omaha were few in n and small in size, but they have improved until no city in the union can show finer piants. Théy bave the very latest and best machinery 1o bo had, ana are conducted oy wide awake and cnergetic business men. In spite of this fact there are still peoplo here who send goods t iroy, N. Y. to vn laundried aud_even to_western cities, rivals ot Omaha. Some of the people doing this are prominert business men who depend upo Omaha patrouage for a living. The emplovment of child labor in thesc outside laundries enables them to do work at 4 1ess price than the Omaha laundries, which helps to make up the cost of shipping tho goods. I is barely nossibla that some of tho Omaba people whose laundry goes out to other cities are not aware of the fact, but are simply giving itout to whomever calls for it without asking where the work is done. In order to better inform the people Omaha as to the importance of the local laundries and of their worthiness of home patronago, 1 rccently visited a num- ber of them ond made a car fur investigation, Among those ex: amined were: the Model at 1110 Dodge street; City Steam, 211 South Eley the Frontier, 1512 Howard: the Neb 1523 Howard: Juckson Street laundry, 915 Juckson strect: the Empire, North Twentj-fourih strect: the Boston, 513 South Eighteentn: the Northwestern, 1015 Saunders and the Gate City, Seventeenth near Capital avenue There aro several other laundries scattered over the city but there was not time to visit them all Ou enterng an Omaba laundry the first thing that strikes the visitor is ihe general nce of cleanliness overywhero appar- This is especially the case if the visitor has uever beeu through the laundries of otoer cities. Tuere is a total absence of sioppy floors and rhat general untidy apn characteristic of the laundries of most There is also a total absence of another eyen more objectionavle feature, child labor. Mauch of the work in a laundry can be done by giris 13 to 14 years of age whose services au be obtained ‘at from .50 10 $1.00 per week and this kind of labor isemployed largely in other cities which gives, them un advantage when it comes to turning out low. priced work. ‘The Owgha laundries employ girls from 16 vears of ago up and at wages ranging from $0 1o $8 per week. 1 saw several thut are recelying §10 per week and that have held their positions for years. Work 1u an Omaba laundry must ve desir able judging from the®Fparent contentment of the employes and tualength of time that the majority of them hold their places, A few boys and menare emploved but the oumber is' comparaft¥dly small. They ro ceive all the way from #40 to $100 per months. S0 much for the general appearance of the laundries ana the character of the help. When it comes 1o the machinery use some slight differences will bo noted but, the general meth- od emploved ' is ' the same in all and a description of one would answer for tho whole number. ' First comes the whsh room where the garments are placed i large perforatcd cy'inders with a certata’ amount of soap and water and the steam turned on aud the cylinders revolvea un®il the last particle of dirt is washea away. The next step i8 to wriug out tHe water which 1n haud laundries is usually done by passing the garments between two rollers. I'his may take the water out, but 1t also takes off th buttons, so that the Omaba laundries have put {u a machine knowu as a centrifugal ex tractor, a rather high sounding name for a clothes' wringer. Briefly described tnis machine consists of a kottleshaped copper tank full of holes, and placed inside sn- iron casing in such shape | that it can be revolved st the rate of about 2,000 revolutions & minute, s tank, filled with the wet garments, is set in motion sua according to the law of centrifugal force the water files out throogh the holes aud is caught by the surrounding casing of iron and conducted into the sewer, In four or five minules the garments are drier tuan they could be made by any old fash ioned wringer. Colored goods, H in uvels, silks, eotc., are | well caleulated to break down the best eity 11 SINTE wasned by band in distilled water. that is, condensed steam, which being free from line and other impuritios is better for tbis pur. pose. K might be added here that all the water used has to be filted and the filters in use in the larger laundries are very extensive affairs, They usually consist of two iron tanks, one placed on top of the other. The lower one is loaded with sand and pulverized coke. The water enters at the topof this tank and comes out at the battom. No one would recognize this filtered water as having come from the Missouri river, us it is rendered as pure and sparkling us the purest of spriog water. Such a filter, from the amount of muddy ver water passed through it, soon fills vith mud and has to be leaned and it is then that tho upper tank comes into play. ‘Ihe pips running into the top of the lower tank is turned off and a pipe connected at the bottom turned on and the water forces its wav up tnrough the filter carrying the mud and sand with it into tho upper tank. ‘The mud rising 10 the water flows off through a vent at tha top, while the sand settles to the bottom. After the dirt nus all_been washed away a valve in the bottom of the tank is openod and the said drops back into its original place in the fil Iu cities whero the water is pure, laundry men are saved the trouble and expense of filtering. But to return to the description of laundrying garments, broken off above. When the zoods leave the wash-room they go in different directions Table linen and other straight articles go into an ironing room fitted up with machinery especially for that class of work The goods are passed through iarge ironing machines, consisting of a series of hot rollers, which smootl. and dry them. Girls feed the goods into one side of the machines while other girls receive and fold them on their exit. Some of these wachines cost as high as £,000 each. As tothe speed with which the work is done, one of the laundries, which makes a speciaity of hotel and restaurant work, col- lects table linen on Sunday afternoon and on Mouday morning washes, irons and delivers it 1n time for oreakfast The ironing of men's shirts complicated operation, and a different machines are required. From the wash-room the shirts are hung on racks which slide into the drying room, where the temperature is kept very high by means of steam pipes, and the remaining dampuess on the garments 15 soon evaporated. The starch- ing of the besoms is done by passing them unaer a roller over which stareh is poured. Another machine called the dampener per- forms what is known as “sprinkling” the garments, after which they are ready for the ironer. The operation of ironing is performea by a number of different operators on as many aifferent machines. One girl irovs the bosom, another the neckband, still another the sleevoband and so it passes on_down the line through other hands who iron the eoves und the body. The rollers in these ironing machines are heated by gas. rs and cuffs are also ironed by ma- but the operation is less complicated than is the cuse with shirts, So much for the methods employed in the Omaha steam laundries. I’ laundries of Omana are at the present time giving employment to 311 people and are paying out in wages $121,700 per year. As near as can be figured the capital invested machinery, ete,, amounts to §215,500. Surely, 1o one will deny thata branch of business riving emplaymént to such a num- ber of people and and _distributing so much mouey in wages is worthy the patronage of every citizen. But the money paid out for wages 15 notthe only benefit derived by the city from the lauadries, as they are large con sumers of water,fuel, gas, starch, paper and soap material, ail of which are purcha from local dealers aud companies, ‘The work for the laundries is coliccted -and distributed by about thirty-five wagons of Omaha manu facture. It might bo added that the work turned out by these laundries is first class in overy re spect and cannot be surpassed in any city. “I'ne people of Omaha have reason to be proud of these establishments and can well afford togive them every encouragement in their power. is a far more © numoer of Men of Iron. Owmaha is Deatad a long distance from tho wmiues of iron and coal and 1t is not to be ex pected that this city can ever have great roilng mills or become celebrated for the wanufacture of pig iron, but it can have and already has large manifacturing ostablish- ments engaged 1n turning out the more fimshed productions of iron and stecl. Just at the present time business in this braneh is extremely dull, owing to the limited amount of building and to other apparent causcs. Many of the machine shops have re- juced their force nearly ono-half and some even more, but tnare are still 344 men em- ployed by the foundries. machine shops, boiler shops, wire works, ete. Thesc wmen are receiving wages at the zate of 26,110 per vear, and there have bien times when business was es- pecially active that the amount paid out in wages would reach a balf million, It wust be borne in mind that the above tigures do not include the amount of money paid out by the Uniou Pacific to its iron workers, nor are the blacksmiths, horse- shoers or similar lines of business included, although they are really iron workers, It is to be doubted it one citizen in_8 hun- dred, not engaged in the business, has usny idea 0f the size and completeness of the dif- ferent iron plants of the city. If they knew more about them they would take more inter- est in them and not send so much money out of tue city for articles that can be mado just as well and justas cheaply at home. Foundries and Machin To consider the subject moro in detail thers aro a number of plants in the city that would come under the above heading, but it will be a difficult matter to give a very clear idea of their size and completeness to ‘one who has never visited any of them, and i1t will bu im- possible to go into any lengthy description. The Paxton & Vierling Iron works, in ad dition to machinery, make a specialty of architectural and ornamental iron works. ‘This necessitates the employment of a num ber of pattern makers, who carve out in wood @ pattern, which 1s usea in making the mould in sand for the casting. To see tho iuterior of the pattern department alone is well worth a trip to the works. Then there are tho large steam hammers, so waell regulated that the operator can make them strike blows of soveral tous force or only a light tap. The operation of casting is highly interesting to the novice and _every corner of the works coutans surprises for the uninitiated. Davis & Cowgill and the Omaha machine works devote their energies to making and rvepairing machinery. The latter firm is making preparations to_put in a plant for the mauufacture of all kinds of shovels and expects to employ a large numoer of men, but that will depend entirely upon the en couragement received in the way of patron- age. Wearne Bros, do castine and machine work and just at present are making a specialty of turning out wheels for the motors. . M. Trevett also conducts a machine shop and his specialty is the manufacture of elevators. The Phonix foundry as the name would dicate do & geaeral foundry business and have a fine plant out on the beit line, The Martin Steam Feed Cooker company have been mentioned in & previous article, but in addition to the manufacture of cookers they are doiug a general foundry business. Boiler Works, Owmaha uses any number of boilers made at eastern citios which are bought without the local makers being given the opportunity of oven bidaing on them. The buyers take it for granted that they cannot bo made as cheaply in Omaha, when in reality the local ooilermakers would be glad of tho chance to duplicato the work at castern prices, Soine buyers send east and get figures on & boiler and then want the local maker to put up the | same boiler ava furnish the extras at the price askea for the boiler alone by the east ern makar. In other words they will buy east unless tho Omaha manufacturer will undursell il eastorn competitors That is the kind of home patronage that is Shops. iu the country. Another thing which works against the boilermakers is the fact that Omaha bas to look to the east for engives aod the eastera manufacturer frequently re- ’nm. | work being done here | trict, afirmed: Reynolds & C| fuses to guerantee the working of his ‘m chine unless he 1s allowed to furnish the | boiler with it.

Wire Works. The Omaha Burbed Fence aud Nail com- pany bave a plant that would surprise the averago citizen if ho woro (o visit il. At the present time they have forty-threa men em ployed and have a capacity for turning out nino or ten million pounds of the barbed wire used for fences. Iy aiso manufucture iron staples, woven picket fences, ete. They have macbinery for making nails, but are not manufacturing any at the prosent time. Tho manufacture of barbed wire, which consists of twisting two wires together and fastening tne barbs into it is & most interesting opera- tion, but it is all machine work. The ope tor starts the machine ranning and then sits down and calmly smokes whilo the machine doos the work. A machine will put on 255 barbs & mioute, twists the wire and winds it onto & spindle. When ono spindle is full the operator stops his machine and puts in another and then resumes his seat. This is & manufacturing establishmont that the people of Omaha ought to take pride in, and they would if they kuow more about it. There are sevoral firms in the city engaged in the manufacture of iron, wire and brass work, such as oftice railings and fixtures, roof crestings, wire mats, flower pot stands, eto. They are the Acmo Iron and Wire works, Reliable [ron and Wire works and Leo Baroch. This is anotherline of business which should receive the benefits of home patronage, but which is too often neglected for some eastern manufacturet. One of the largest buildings put upn Omaha this year went east for office fixtures that might nave been made in Omaha, but Omaba manu- facturers did not get an oprortunity to bid on it Cornice Works, The manufacture of iron cornices, window caps, iron roofing, etc., 1s another industry that is carried on verv extousively in Omaha The firms making this class of work are tho agle Cornice works, C. Specht, P. Berger, McBrien & Carter and I, Ruemring. These firms not only do a good deal of work in Omaba, but they also receive a considerable patronage from other citios. Omaha Safe Works. Gustave Audreen has an extensive plant for the turning out of safes and vault works, jail work, iron shutters, wire work, ete. At the present time quite a numoer men are empioyed in the works and the pay roll runs up into the thousands. Iron Fences, The Omaha Manufacturing company is a new establishment for Omaha, and ono th at promises well for tho city if the proper en- couragement is extended. They are making and putting up a superior class of durablo and ornamental 1ron fences. It is an estab- lishment that can be maden crodit to the city by applying to it the principles of home tronage. peronagelis Ve s e G There having beer. considerable inquiy for goods manufactured in Omaha, we beg to publish for the bonefit of such the following list manufactured by us with about the usual retail price.

Arrangements for Entrrtaining the Guests at the Tri Dexver, Colo., Oct. 10, — lliiam Harp, chairman, and Sir B. S, Josselyn, socretary, of the hotel committes of the triennial con- clave, Knights Templar, today issued the following circular to their fraters through- out the United States: “Circular No. 1, issued from these headquarters under date of July 25, states that the groater part of the hotel accommodations in this city could not be secured by contract for a timo so far abeaa as August, 1502. This obstacle has now been removed to a very great extent and we find no diffieuity in permanently locating all who call on this committee for ho tel ac- commodations, These accommodations have alieady been secured for over 16,000 visitors and we do not appear to have touched the re- sources of the city only so far as larg e hotels are concerned. Denver will be amply® prepared to take care of 50,000 visitors comfortably, but those desiring tho choicest quarters should apply to this committee without further delay, stating how many you wish to tract for, at about what rate per aay, furopean or American plan. In the ground floor of tho H. V. Brown Palace hotel will be located nearly every grand commandery of the United States. This building is reached by three cabie lines. It will be one of the finest hotels in the world, ten stories high, has nine dining rooms, seven elevators, us nearly fire proof as it is possible to make it and will accommo date comfortably 1,500 peoplo all in outside rooms, each gaining astreet, Directly across the street from this buildiug is the Hotel Metropole and Broadway theatre. This hotel is a jewel of excellence and can accom modate 350 people oluing the *Metropole’” will be erected a building for subordinate commandery head. quarters, tne plans of which are now com pleted and contracts can be made for occu- pancy by addressing tue undersigned. This will locate nearly every erand and subordinato commandery not further apart than oue block, and will be the center of tho Templar attractiou and 4 prominent feature of the conclave. The grand encampinent session will be held at the Masonio temple, only three blocks from the above headquarters. ‘The circular also gives the resolutions adopted by the Transmissouri and Colorado Passenger associations, by which a rate of one first class uanlimited fare for the round wip to Denver and return is made. It also contradicts the impression that the Denver hotels are increasing their rates for the con clave week. e fowa Supreme Court Decisions.
