The annual exodus of lawyers from this olty does not seem to be suffering any serious interference from the strike. Passes still hold good. Wiley 18 out of town.

Just now Long Branch and the Thousand Isles pre- sent greater attractions than Chicago to the millionaire car bullder. The rumor spread from railroad headquar- ters that Justice Brewer had come to a de- eision adverse to the validity of the maxi- mum freight rate law proves to be a trifle premature, but it shows what the railroads are ardently praying for. There are a few things which Peffer forgot to include In that omnibus resolution. But those that have not been covered In previous efforts of the same kind will certainly come in for consideration when the Kansas senator decides to “‘resolute” again. — The democratic conferees on the tarift bill are sald to be making slow progress with their work. Perhaps this Is to be explained by the fact that President Cleveland is too busily occupied with more pressing affairs to be able to tell them exactly what he wants done. & Grover Cleveland has now issued two mar- tlal law proclamations, but not a word to congress which represents the nation as much as he does and should by rights be taken into the confidence “of the executive whenever domestic insurrection calls for suppression by federal authority. We believe it was Hascall who ins no court would declare tne bond filed by Pardeo & Co. to be valid. But the court has recognized the bond as perfectly legal in every respect. Hascall's advice as a la yer Is almost as reliable as Wheeler's opinion as an expert electrician, e I all the trades of Chicago go out on a strike the roads won't be so anxious to move the trains which they say are re ceed as soon as the track Is can make up special trains for the United States mails, but their profits on mail cor tracts will scarcely compensate them for lack of passengers and freight sted that By finally agreeing to designate bage dumps, the members of the Board of Health have at last taken away from garbage collectors their last excuse for o tinuing to violate the law and ordinances by dopositing refuse wherever they happen to see fit.

But the story that they have gone way out to Denver to ralse an unprecedented complaint that he has violated that clause of the fed eral constitution which forbids impair- ment of the obligation of contracts Is too ridiculous to be credited. In the first place the prohibition of the constitution s qi- rected solely agalnst the law-making bodies of the several states and not against an individual. To the second place congress has enicted no legislation to provide punish- ment for any oune who should violate that clause. The whole plan is so frivolous that no one with the slightest common placing plenty of the sen THE MR.

In posing as a self-appointed martyr to an inevitable con- flict he is trying to play a role which the circumstances hardly warrant. no mer Lawrence their utmos A WORD OF CAUTION. The workingmen of Omaha, and especially members of the various trades unions, will be subjected to a very severe strain during the continuance of the great railway strike. Within the next forty-eight hours they may be importuned to follow the example set by the trades unions of Chicago and make com- mon cause with the railway union and strik- ing Pullman employes. They will be urged to quit work in a body and thereby embroil Omaha into a conflict from which she has 50 far fortunately been free. The Bee would caution workingmen to take no rash steps that would entail great hard- ships upon them without materfally aiding the cause with which they sympathize. We do not believe that anything that might be done by Omaha workingmen beyond giving expression to their sentiments would in any way promote the settlement of the strike or force any concessions by the railroad .managers to the railway employes. In the present precarious condition of our working people it would be foolhardy for those who are employed at fair pay to throw up their Jobs as a matter of sympathy. Thero is a hard wfihiter before us, and every wage worker will need all he can save up during the season to keep the wolf from the door. There are those, of course, who have nothing to lose and everything to gain by a walk-out. But such men have no right to. insist that others shall take the bread out of the mouths of their own families by joining in a sym- pathetic strike that will be won or lost with- out reference to anything that may be done in Omaha. It is eminently proper for the wage work- ers in Omaha to make known their sym- pathy with the cause of labor, and to con- tribute of their own means whatever can be spared toward sustaining that cause, but a general walkout would hardly be justified unless victory or defeat were hanging in the balance dependent upon such action. Individually and colectively Omaha working- men have no other grievance that that com- mon to all wageworkers in America at this time, namely, a lack of constant employ- ment. There is no controversy between them and their employers, and they 'have everything to lose and nothing to gain by rushing into a strike at a time when work is scarce and labor over-abundant. RED ANARCHISM. There Is promise of concurrent action by the governments of Europe looking to the repression of anarchism. Last week a bill introduced in the British House of Lords to increase the powers of existing laws respecting immigration. In explaining this measure the marquis of Salisbury said that Englard was becoming, to a great ex- tent, the headquarters of anarchists, Many of the products by which the recent crimes in the name of anarchy were effected were manufactured in Great Britain, which alone among European nations, said the pre- mier, has not the power to expel aliens from her shores. He sald the force of events has wrought an entire change of opinion in Great Britain as to the right of asylum, and that to maintain the right of asylum to those ngaged in a conspiracy to a-sassinate would cause the nations of the world to look with indignation upon the country where crimes could be safely organized, The German government, it is unde desir SION OF was stood, to co-operate with Great Britaln in the matter and also with other among them the United States. So as known the government of nany has no definite policy to propose, and the inference m the language of its officlal organ fs that it Is the disposition of the emperor to pursue a conservative course. It Is reported measure I8 being prepared for the consideration of the parliament, but nothing 1s known of its character. Meanwhile pub- lic discussion of the subject in the press discloses a strong sentiment on the part of the conservative papers in fayor of the re- nowal of the antl-soclalist laws, while the liberal newspapers argue against any im- pulsive or passionate action nations, that a The French government has a radical meas ure before the Chamber of De, ut vides for the s which pro summary trial of per:ons in- clting to acts of violence and giving judges POWer to pass sentence of banishment, The dispatches say that while this bill is en- countering vigorous opposition from clalists and the extreme section of the press it uppears certaln that it will pass, and in the present temper of the French people it 1s possible that even a more radical measure would recelve popular approval. Other Bu the so gould for a moment have entertalned It. Fopean governments may be expected to take a hand in the effort to repress anarch- | change In the situation in any of theso states fsm, each working to that end In its own way, but in effect all operating together. The declaration of Premler Crispl that an anarchist is a man without a country seems to be accepted by the governments of Eu- rope generally as a righteous verdict against those who counsel assassination as a means of remedying existing soclal evils, and the purpoe of most of the proposed legislation is to exclude such persons from the right ot That the growth of the anarchistic lement In Rurope and the manifestations of its savage and malignant spirit jJustify a policy of this kind will not be questioned by any friend of law and order. However valld the reasons may be for popular dis:atisfac tion with existing conditions, no ra- tional man belley that the remedy is to be found in murder and the n de- struction of property. The bullet the knife or the bomb of the assassin not the means through which the oppressed are to be evils of which there is ju:t compl nd means any man- they W stern and it s both the right and the duty of governments them of asylum. The danger is in going too far in legislat- ing against those who give expression to their discontent and d tis tion. There are millions of people who Justly complain of the wrongs they suffer from prevailing social conditions and earnestly demand who a not an~rchists and who have no sympathy with doctrines. The great body of socialists are of this class, and it would be most unjust to condemn them to suffer penalties such as are proposed for anarchists. There is a very wide difference between socialism, which contemplates a peaceable reform of soclal conditions, and the barbarism of anarchy. It is especially important that this distinction be kept in mind by the state:men of this country who are proposing legislation for the repression of anarchism. The American people have no sympathy with the policy of assassination, but they are willing to accord the largest liberty to those who seek social reform through legitimate methods. asylum, soclal iclous or are abuses and int or resort to relleved or the removed, who such those counsel are the encmies of civilization, without claim kind are to the toleration of enlightened Criminals in proper punishment spirit and pu ry discovered, pose objects of summ whenever to refuse right reforms anarchistic A SERIOUS PHASE OF THE There is one phase of the strike situation of which little has been said, but which is being widely realized, and that is the ef- fect upon the food supply and the prices of some commodities. Dispatches of a few days ago from a number of towns in the west reported almost a famine in some of the necessarics, with prices of everything advanced to unprecedented figures. Re- ports from the east state that meat is very scarce in every southern New England town, and the price of bepf has gone up 5 and 7 cents a pound. All over the east, in- deed. as well in the large cities as in the small towns, the supply of meat is unequal to the demand, and those who can afford to buy it have to pay a good deal more than before the strike shut off the supply. There is also scarcity in dairy products and fruits, the prices of which have, of course, ad- vanced. Taking the country through this state of affairs Is costing consumers a great deal, and among those who were before com- pelled to practice the utmost economy it must be causing a great deal of privation. The situation can hardly fail to be ag- gravated if the order for a general strike of the organized labor of the country Is re- sponded to to the extent Which the labor leaders profess to expect. A cessation of production in the food-making industries for a single week would be a very serious mat- ter for all communities, and particularly so for the poorer classes of people, who only buy supplies from day to day and to whom higher prices for the necessaries of lie would be a decided hardship. The daily food consumption of the country is enor- mous, and the supply on haid is never greatly beyond the demand, so that only a brief stoppage of production would be neces- sary to bring about famine in a large part of the country. There is an abundance of everything, but this does not matter if it is not put in form for consumption and dis- tributed. It is perfectly obvious that so far as a general strike of organized labor would oper- ate to reduce the food supply and increase the cost of living, the greatest hardship of such a condition of affairs would be exper- ienced by the multitude of unemployed, and cspecially by that portion of them who have been long idle, among whom tens of thou- sands are destitute. From this point of view it is plain that the carrying out of the order for a general strike throughout the country may entail a vast amount of suffering. But it is hardly probable that there will be any such general response to the order as those who have promulgated it hope for. It is to be presumed that a large proportion of work- men who appreciate the value af employ- ment under existing conditions and who have no grievance will be disposed to re. gard their personal interests and :omain at work, however strong their sympathy with the striking Pullman and raflroad men, Still it is to be apprehended that the number who will comply with the order is so considerable as to materially increase tho seriousness and the difficulties of the situation. From pres- ent indications the next few days will have developments of the profoun interest. el SITUATIO, What the gold standard or the free coin- age of silver has to do with the present railway strike is not quite visible to the ordinary but President Debs insists upon referring to the money question as one of the underlying causes of the trouble, Whether the Pullman employes were paid in gold, paper or silver would have been immaterial to them so0 long as the wages recelved were insufficient to pay the rent exacted of them and support thelr families at the time. The underpaid workmen in Pullman would have had better portunity of getting their hands upon money whether the government adopted a new financial policy or adhered to its old one. It will be useless for the more money men to attempt to draw capital from the pending labor conflict. eye, same no op- the There 18 no use for the railroads to hire Piokertons or mercenarles to protect their property when a simple application to the federal *government will bring them all the United States troops which they can use for that purpose. If the Burlington managers had only bethought themselves of this ready expedient that road might have saved the vast sums expended for this ser ice during its disastrous strike of six years other ago. —_— tardy proclamation from the white house places the rallroads in halt the western states and territorles under direct protection of the federal troops und warns the people along those lines to desist from obstructing inter- state trafic and to disperse to their homes, There had not been & single Important A second during the period @%sing between the two proclamations and® nothing - demanded the second at the time of its fssue any more than before.

It is no less than retribution sent upon the people of Chicago for the awful sacrilege committed in opening the gates of the World's fair grounds on Sundays last year. The same Lord which sent seven years of famine and all the plagues upon the Egyptians has chosen this modern mebhod to chastise the wicked Chicagoans of today. Such being the case, why attempt further to avert the inevitable disaster? Coxey's army has into the service. N not yet been pressed ither has Kelly's navy. POLITICAL POTPOURRI. North Bend Republican: “Fifteen votes for Jack MacColl.”” That's the way the Dodge county vote will be announced in the republican state convention. This is official. Wallace Star: The only genuine, fast-color boom that has been uncorked so far as the state ticke concerned is the one in be- half of Jack MacColl. The Lexington gentle- man looks more like a winner every day. Blue Springs Sentinel: From a careful perusal of the papers over the state, it would seem that the boys have the MacColl for governor fever awful bad. There is no doubt but what Jack would make the welkin ring were he nominated. Humboldt Standard: ~ The Jack MacColl boom for governor has reached the eastern boundary of this county, and, were it not for the unusual freshet in the Missouri river, there is no telling but the popular MacColl wave would be far out in Missouri before this time. ’ Plattsmouth Herald: We are pleased to see the county papers endorse Hon. S. M. Chapman for congress, so vigorously, as it proves_ the sentiments of the peopie who support them. Right you are, gentlemen, and set her out another notch for good govern- ment and we' will stay with you till the last dog is. hung. e Lincoln Courfer: Tn the face of a general opinion to the contrary, the Courier ventures the prediction that r. Bryan and his friends will be in the minority at the coming demo- cratic state convention. Tne populist clamor at the silver conference In Omaha was one thing and the sentiment of the democratic party in this state another and entirely dif- ferent thing. Fremont Tribune: R. I. Moore of Lin- coln is being brought forward as a candi- date for licutenant governor. Mr. Moore has sorved Lancaster county as senator for three successive terms, and he did it with signal ability. Thero has not been in any session of which he has been a member an abler debater and a man of wider knowledge as to the state's needs. Ansley Chronicle: We still hear occa- sionally the name of Hon. A. E. Cady of St Paul being mentioned as a probable candi- date for governor before the republican con- vention. Mr. Cady is not without friends in this county, and should that gentleman an- nounce his candidacy before the county con- vention is held he would not be entirely ig- nored in making up the state delegation. Tilden Citizen: Charles S. Coney of Stan- ton seems to be the most prominent candi- date for the office of state superintendent of public instruction on the republican ticket. Mr. Coney is a man who has devoted his life to school work:, having been a prac- tical teacher, and is now serving his fifth term as superintendent of Stanton county. Perhaps there is no other man in the state more pre-eminently qualified for the office. Beatrice Express: The candidacy of Mr. C. G. Pease, superintendent of the Beatrice public schools for the past several years, for the nominatlon of state superintendent of public instruction, is becoming more popular as the merits and abilities of the gentleman become known. In many portions of the state he has a large following, and if the conditions at the state convention are favor- able, his nomination is assured. He is a product of Nebraska schools, being a grad- uate of Doane college, and s a gentleman qualified in every particular for the im- portant office he secks. Cozad Tribune: The republican party must not stoop to gratify merely the personal am- bitions of any one man. When it meets in convention its purpose should be, and will be, to make such nominations as will mean suc- cess in November. While we admire Tom Majors for his many acts of party loyalty, it cannot be denied 1 even his most ardent supporters that the party has fully repaid every obligation to him. Neither can it be denfed that to nominate him will be to of- fend many whose aid is essential to victory, and will incur the open hostility of some who can by a wise nomination be placed in line for loyal service in the coming cam- paign. Fremont Herald: ‘Colonel Walt M. Seely made a few footprints in the dust on the streets of Fremont lagt evening. It was rumored that he was Histributing samples of Wild Hay Bitters manufactured by Tom Majors, but no bottles of the decoction have been left at this offiee far analysis. L. C. Chapman of Tecumseh is among the aspirants for the noinimation for the attor- ney generalship on the populist ticket George Marsh is Richardson county’s can- aidate for the office pf land commissioner, if the republicans will only nominate him. J. B. Piper ot Harlan county would like to receive the republican nomination for sec- retary of state. H@ belleves that his posi- tion in the Republican valley is favorable to his success. Colfax county has h chndidate to come be- fore the populist state' convention. Henry Bolton is his name, and he thinks he could fill Joe Bartley's shoes to perfection. York county will present the name of H. R. Corbett to the republican convention for the office of superintendent of public in- struction. Tim Sedgwick says Corbett is a winner. His name I8 an omen of success, e Unfalr Naturalization Laws, Chicago Herald, events render the Interpretation of the naturalization laws by Judge Coit of Boston unusually Interesting.

Thus the most ignorant and dan- gerous uropeans—creatures little abov; anlmals In the scal of creation—may be come cltizens, while the cultured and Intel- ligent natives of Japan are debarred from the, privilege.

The idea that men will starve to death or submit to enslavement any more readily in the country than in the city is characteristic of the satrap, but it is not the less false. The problem will not be solved that way. It will be settled only by the renunciation of ducal powers by the head of the Pullman company.

ON, July 190, ate met and after transacting of some routine business, the resolution intro. duced by Senator Peffer yesterday was laid before the senate. Mr. Peffer discussed his resolution, which looks to the government control of the railways and coal fields and the adoption of the doctrine of a single tax. He appealed to senators to listen, for while he was not a prophet nor the son of a prophet, nor an alarmist, yet he had time and time again called the attention of the country to what seemed to him to be within the range of an ordinary man's vision—the public dan- ger. All his propositions related to oue fundamental error which the country had fallen into—the danger of allowing a few men here and a few men there to usurp svernmental functions. Al public functions should be exercised by government officers. He referred to Debs as a man of whom the country heard a great deal lately, but of whom it was likely to hear very much more before long. Mr. Peffer said that when the Pullman company established what the people of the world thought to be an ideal community, in which all should have equal rights and none special privileges, every one commended it for its philanthropy. But the charges for rent and for the necessaries of lite were deducted from the men's monthly pay and when ther wages were reduced the men submitted, but asked that their rents and taxes be reduced, but found they were in the power of a corporation without soul, until finally they came to the conclusion they might as well starve in support of their rights as in filling the coffers of Pullman He referred to the arrogant attitude of Pullman and of the Pullman officials and read from this morning’s papers dispatches of the interview of the Chicago aldermen with Vice President Wickes, during which the latter reiterated and reiterated: *“The Pullman company has nothing to arbitrate.” Whether it was right for the A. R. U to strike in sympathy and refuse to haul Pullman cars it was not his purpose to argue, but the ominous situation confronted the country and it was our duty to deal with it. Mr. Hawley inquired whether Mr. Peffor did not know the railroads were under obligations to haul the car Mr. Pefier replied the railway were under no more obligations to Pull- man than Pullman was to the railways but this was no time to talk of contra between Pullman and the railway compa and he was urprised that a senater who HE FLAG. Utah Statohood the Senate When the sen- companies " 50 often championed the cause of the work- ingmen should talk of such things. Mr. Peffer proceeded to arraign congress for its defense of monopolies and its stand gainst the people. He did not wonder netimes that there was a growing fee ing against the congress at Washington, and that some wished to abolish the senate, He would go a step further, and besides second- ing an effort to abolish the senate, he -vould wbolish the house of representatives and have the country governed by one man from each state. Senator Davis, speaking of the Kyle reso- lution, said it was put in at a time when the troubles in the west were in prog for the purpose of making the United State a partner in the lawlessness. The strike grew from a strike to a boyeott, a boycott to a riot, and now to an insurrection. He deseribed the various acts of lawlessnes and said Kyle's resolution was to the power of the United States to pun such gross acts of violence. 1t the acts of violence had been commltted on the great lakes or the high seas it would have been piracy and punishable by death. The sen- ator from Kansas had said the troops should be withdrawn, but he hiad not given a sug- gestion of what would protect life and prop- erty. Debs could not do so if he was given full power, no more than he could restore the cars burned by his men. The ship of state, which two wecks ago was floating proudly without trouble, —was now upon troubled waters. He would not speak of parties, but democrats, republicans and populists should unite In restoring peace. General Gordon of Georgia followed in brief speech, saying that when a great was threatened with bloodshed and fire ator descended very low when he talked of party as did the senator from Kansas The woe which threatened was not sectional and he spoke not from a southern standpoint, but as a citizen of this great nation, and he urged that the law be enforced Senator Gordon finished by saying that his heart felt for the blood that had been shed, but that was as nothing compared to the pride of the republic. The sons of those who made it would save it, be the cost what it would.
