Candidates who had not yet secured quarters were in the city making rangenr ts for rooms in which to entrap e unsuspecting delegate Men came along to take charge of the headquar ters, and altogether there was a general ac- tivity that has been unuoticed up to the present time. R. B. Moore tenant governor, came and made arrangements his campaign in earnest. \With him came R 8. Townley, chief clerk of the State Banking department. Mr. Townley is a political vet- eran and will have charge of the Moore boom until the convention makes up its mind whether or not.the Lincoln man shall be the next lieutenant governor. A. R. Cruze a Frontier county man who wants to be sec- retary of state, put in an appi e in the afternoon. Shumway of Wakefield, who is also a candidate for lieutenant governor, ar- rived and began to get himself well settled. AT M'COLL HEADQUART The MacColl headquerters were not closed, but there were few visitors. A scheme in- vented by the enemy was uncovered. Late in the afternoon it was learned that Majors and his workers had devised a plan to gather the delegates from the Fifth congressional district together for the purpose of having resolutions of in- struction voted before the convention as- sembled. The discovery was grected with broad grins by the MacColl men, for they have all along conceded the fact that Majors would have almost the entire vote from the Fifth district. Taking instructions from Ma- jors to the Fifth would be about as brilliant @ stroke of business as carrying coals to Newcastle, It is expected that all of will be in the city by noon today, with th exception of Treasurer Bartley and Auditor Moore. These gentlemen feel that their presence will not be needed until tomorrow. All of the numerous candidates for places on the republican state ticket will have their quarters at the Millard, and that hostelry will be the scens of unwonted activity from this evening on to the close of the convention. Local arrangements for the convention will hardly be completed until tomorrow. The convention will be held in Exposition hall and a)l necessary arrangements for the con- venience and comfort of the delegations will be made by energe’ic committeemen fron this city. Those interested in the state ticket hope that the convention will be able to complete its labors in one day. There will be but little speechmaking. Chairman Slaughter promises for himself to refrain from a lengthy address and the sentiment of everybody seems to be in favor of getting down to business at once. HAS HAD MARKED EFFECT. The effect of the action of Douglas county in instructing its 108 delegates to the state convention to vote as a unit for Jack Mac- Coll has had a marked, stimulating effect upon the uninstructed delegates in other parts of the state. Many who have been wavering have now come out openly for MacColl. The Majors men are trying to discount the effects of the Douglas county vote by assuring all comers that it makes no difference, that Ma- jors will.be nominated casily without the as- sistance of Douglas county. The assurance comes 15 a braggadocio tone and it lacks the ring of siucerity. Lacal sentiment respecting the probable in- fluence in the conveniion of the instructed delegates from Douglas county was expressed yesterday as follows: D. H, Wheeler—I think the action of S day's ] fon will be in favor of Mac eandidacy. I do not know many of the out- side dclc;:x\ns. but Donglas county will cer- tainly exert considerable influence in favor of MacColl, St. A D. as if It would result in a tie-up. county goes for MacColl and Platte delegates go for Majors, with a large neattering for a third nominee or a dark Jorse, the dark horse might have the best of it In the case of a close contest between MacColl and Majors.” Neither of these men has any reason to feel assured of the nomination. There is a prejudice against Douglas county, and the action of Saturday's convention may not benefit MacColl. W. J. Broateh—Owing to the small major- ity of one side over the other, I am inclined to think that the ‘action of the convention Saturday will not have the effect desired. Still it will probably help MacColl's candi dacy. Ben S. Baker—I think the influence of it will carry at least that many more votes with It, and it really looks as if MacColl's nomination must fcllow. Judge Stenberg—The structed delegation will encourage other countles to do likewise. This action will be a benefit to MacColl's candidacy. Thomas Swobe—I don’t think there Is any question but that the action of the Douglas county convention will be favorable to Ma Coll's candidacy. I voted for an instructed delegation for that purpose. B. H. Robison—The action of the conven- tion Is evidence and notice to the state of the good intentions and judgment of the repub- licans of the county who are interested in securing the strongest possible state ticket. All_candidates and republicans are looking to Douglas county for a fair share of the re- publican wmajorities at the election.

Twelve of the German, Bohemian and Danish athletic socletics of the uity had a tournament at Ruser's park yesterday after- noon. It was under the auspices of the Danish Turner club. The soc'eties met at Washington hall and marched in procession to the Webster street depot, headed by the Union Pacific band At the park exhibitions were given on the vaulting horse, parallel bar and turning pole. A tug of war between German and Dinish teams created much interest and some excitement. The Scandinavian Glee ¢lub sang a number of selections.

ON THE MCURNERS' BENCH. wires Praying for Relief from Incomn Tax M the and the most men of wealth 1t millionaires ever humble man will admit that are sometimes suppliant, it is be pre- sumed that there are many silent petitions being sent forth that President Cleveland will veto the tarift bill and thus kill the pro- vision for the levying of an income tax. Al though the two per cent tax provided for on incomes of mors than $4,000 will be a con- tribution of but §1 out of $50 to Uncle Sam, it is generally belleved that in many man- slons the wealthy owners look upon the tax as a great hardship. It is estimated by treasury the revenue derived from the will be $30,000,000 a year. Other estimates vary from $25,000,000 to $40,000,000. OF this New York's men of wealth and others not termed wealthy, but who live comfortably on more than $4,000 a year, will pay a large pray, experts that income tax some of the leading says a New York The tax to be paid by millionaires of this city, dispatch to the Philadelphia Times, will In many instances run up in the thousands, Willlam Waldorf Astor will undoubt:dly lead the list. His income is estimated at $8,000,- 900 per year, and on this he will have to pay a yearly tax of $178,000. John D. Rockefeller whose Income is estimated at $7,611,230, will have to pay $152,225; the Gould estate $30,- 800, and poor and unhappy Russell Sage about $00,000. Cornelius Vanderbilt, with an esti- mated Income of $4,048,000 will have to con- tribute a yearly tax of $50,060, while Willlam K. Vanderbilt's contribution to the natfonal exchequer will be about $75,000. John Jacob Astor will be let off on a paymen® of $60,000. Other millionaires and their probable in- ome tax are Henry M. Flagler, $60,000; Frederick W. Vanderbilt, $35,000; Louis Tiffany, $35,000; Collis P. Hunt'ngton, $20 000: Willlam Rockefellor, $60,000; Mose Taylor, estate, $50,000; Robert Goelet, $25 000; Ogden Goelet, $20,000. There will be some fair hands, too, that | will count out cash to the internal revenue collectors. It will cost Mrs. Bradley-Martin, Mrs. Anson Phelps Stokes, Clementina Fur- niss and Sophla R. Furniss about $10,000 | each if the bill goes on the statute books, | and if Mrs. Hetty Green doesn't succeed dodging the collector it is estimated she will have to part with $40,000. The feclings of the millionaires who are to be taxed, If Mr. Cleveland says so, may be partially ‘alleviated by the fact that the net earnings of corporations are to be taxed before being paid out in dividends, so very few rich men will be obliged to give over | the entire amount of their tax in a lump sum. Like men who buy their cigars singly instead of by the box, because it doesn't scem to cost so much, they may thus be kept from believing themselves on the verge of bankruptey when the tax collector comes around Just before the Fourth of July. e Funeral of OfMcer Kobbins.

DBUFFALO, Aug. 19.—At a meeting of the Lake Line Manufacturers assocfation it was resolved that eastbound lake and rail tarifts from Lake Michigan to Lake Superior on April 21, ‘1894, be restored and maintained and the tariffs from Minneapolis, issued by inftial rail lines, be maintained on the basis of 2214 cents per 1,200 pounds from Minne- apolis to New York.

The delegates (o the convention of the Nebraska State Federation of Labor reas- sembled yesterday at 10:30 a. m. in Patterson hall for the purpose of completing the busi- ness left over from the session the evening before. Ona of the ¢ afternoon of the most interesting discussions nvention was brought on late in the when Jason R.

Bryan in his candidacy for the After an earnest debate, lasting hour, a motion to table the carried by two-thirds senate, moro t resolution majority Then a resolution the federstion to nominated by the and it was also tabled On motion J. W. Vcgan aeted as chairman in the absence of the president. The secre- tary of the executive council submitted a mplete report of the actions of that body the last eession. The report was a 1 and placed on file, the recommenda being referred to the executive council be eclected later in the session. J. R. Lewis of Typographical union No. 190 pro- tested that a_committee upon which he was appointed had been ignored by the executive council, and members of the executive coun- cil retorted that the committee appointed had falled to act _and left the work upon that body. There was considerable discussion regarding the action of the executive councl in recom- mending a local paper. In order that all of the delegates might have something to suy on this subject the convention went into committee of the whole, where it was decided to consider the paper recommended as only a political paper and not a labor organ. After the committee arose the convention passed a motion to the effect that the state federation would endorse no paper as an officizl organ. At 12:15 p. m. the convention adjourned until 2 o'click. In the afternoon the committee on resolu- tions submitted a report. This was a signal for some interesting discussion and those who were expecting to hear the labor ques- tion discussed upon all sides were not dis- appo'nted. The declaration adopted was: The representatives of the federated wage workers of Nebraska in convention assembled, extend the hand of political fel- lowship and unity to the farmers of the state and nation, and declare our interests to_be identical, ‘and that legislation that affects th one unfavorably bea with equal force upon the other. We consider ou the fail t land on earth, and while we che h its iInstitutions and revere the names of those patriots who offered their lives and fortunes for the oppressed, yet we feel and assert that today in this land the vilest tyranny is practiced, and the most abject servility Is taught and exacted from the wage workers, We endorse the Omaha platform and pre- amble with everything that it implies, and we emphasize the fact that metallic basis for money is a humbug. We do not want our money redeemed in gold or silver, but in food and clothing and warmth and_shelter and in objects of comfort, art ' and beauty, for ‘the adornment of our homes, that our children may be noble and refined, contented and happy. AIM OF GOVERNMENT. We declare that the proper aim of govern- ment is not to rule the people, but to be an instrument for securing equality, prosperity appiness mong the people, and that therefora It 18 the first duty of government to guarante to every citizen an opportunity to earn a living for himself and family, and any government that fails in this is a bad government, and should be remodeled. In order fhat oursclves and our children and our children’s children may forever be secured against privation and want, we de- mand that the zeneral government estab- lish a cabinet department to be known as the Department of Co-Operative Industry, for the purpose of providing ways and means and capital for employing in c operative productive labor - every citiz who may need employment, the worl 8 in said department to have the full proceeds of their bor without profit to the govern- ment. e declare that our mothers and wives 4 daughters are by their virtue and in- telligence and finer moral sense entitled to equal voice with ourselves in the affairs of government, We condemn the Ism which an an was a pledging the support of the candidates to be populists was introduced new form of Pinkerton- consists in the recruiting of pri- vaie armies under the name of “deputies’ by sheriffs who are merely the agents and tools of corporations, as was done in the s ado recently. extend thanks to those governors, senators and representatives who have ad- vocated the rights of labor so faithfully at every opportunity. We recognize that in the late decision of Judge Caldwell, in which he ordered the receivers of (he'Santa Fe road to pay their employes their wages before the i5th of each month, he has taken a stand in favor of right and justice which is commendable, We recoznize in Judge Caldwell a just Jidge, & fenrless mah and & true frisnd of the people. We glory In the pluck of the American Railway union and its grand leader, Eugenc V. Debs, and we denounce the combination of government officials and railway man- agers by which the rights of working men are trampled upon, and declare it high time the people to o to the ballot box and the government, which is now in of traitors, Experience with the inter law and our own State Bo: portation having shown that it is impossible for the government to control the lawle way corporations, we demand nothing short of government ownership and opera- tion of these highway We declare the p tition among wealth 1 and barbarous and not in laws of natur advocating and using eration merce tem of compe- to be viclous ord with the we believe in effort toward through which alone s made possible lenounce the I’ systems of pro- o Amer a fraud, a n and a s A systemi that has protected manufs to the extent of $30,000,000,000 in_thirty years over and above A reasonuble urn on_their investments, nd at the same time denied unto labor a living wage, has in part built up robber barons like ‘Carnegie, Pullman and oth for whose benefit a ' horde of undesi servile emigrants have been imported and army of militia maintained to coerce Amerlcan workmen into abject slaver DENOUNCE THE ADMINISTRA' W nounce the present administr as time servers of the corporations and emies of the producing classe with those sycophantic Judges fons would not be tolerited by. enlighte c opinion even in monarchial Bur denounce as brutally intolerant that Gonstruction of the interstate commerce law that makes it conspiracy for labor to make stand for living wages and makes the same law Inoperative as to the corporations who have he public, coerced their employe slatures’and subverted a frec government by corrupt methods.

The committee having charge of the forn tion of new unions and assemblies reported a system to be followed in the future. NBW CONSTITUTION ADOPTED. The committee on constitution reported al- most an entire new constitution, which was unanimously adopted by the convention The constitution provides for semi-annual meetings at times and places to be named by the conventions in session. It also pro- vides for a number of committees to carry on the work of th> labor organizations of the state. One of the most important of the committees is a committee upon leglslation, whose duty it will be to ascertain what are the demands of labor and urge the passage of such biils as are agreed upon. After hearing the report of the committee on_constitution the election of officers was had. D. Clem Deaver of District assembly No, 126, Knights of Labor, was chosen president by ‘acclamation. W. H. Coleman of the Federation of Labor of Lincoln was elected vice president by ac- clamation. Charles B. Matthews of Typographical union No. 190 was elected corresponding secretary by acclamation. Herbert H. Boyles of Elevator Conductors union No. 5,998 was chosen treasurer by ac- clamation Con P. of South arms. The five exccutive officers will, according to the constitution adopted, also act as the executive council of the State Federation. Messrs. W. S. Sebring of Machine Wood Workers unfon No. 1 and R. H. Jenniso and J. W. Vogan of Tpographical union No. 190 were clected as the board of trustees. The committee on legislation is as follo D. Cl:m Deaver of District assembly No. 12 Knights of Labor; C. E. Woodard of Lincoln Central Labor union; H. H. Boyles of vator Conductors union No. 5,998; John C. Ti:rney and Edwin Le Fevere of Lincoln Labor “club. A motion was carried that the Nebraska Federation of Labor endorse the political candidates for office who publicly advocate the demands made in the resolution passed by the body at this gession. The next meeting of the state federation will open at Lincoln at 2 o'clock p. m. on the third Saturday of January next. At this time the Nebraska legislature will be in ses- sion and the delegates considered it would be a good move to meet at the time the legisla- ture was beginning its business. Just before adjourning a move was made to get some candidates endorsed for political offices, but the majority was not in the en- dorsing business. At 5:30 the newly elected officers and committeemen were installed by the retiring vice president, after which the convention adjourned.

This new idea of two well knéwn companies consolidat- ing and playing both shows the same night, with two entirely different casts, has cer- tainly met with public approval, and in these hard times they are not slow to take ad- vantage of it. Both of these companies are first-class and weli known. They have guaranteed Man- ager Burgess that they will not cut the shows, but will commence sharp at 7:45 and end about 11:45. They allow two hours for each performance. The waits between the acts will be only five minutes each. AR P L, Courtln h Notes. “The Last Days of Pompeli” morrow night. Excursicns from St. Joreph and from Perry, Ta., visited the beach yesterday. The carriage driveway at the beach will remain open on Pompeiian nights as usual. Extra trains will be put on both the Sher- man avenue motor line and the East Omaha line during Pompeiian nights. Reserved scats, as well as chair seats in boxes, may be obtained for “Pompeii” down town or at the entrance to Courtland beach. The dog circus s such a drawing attraction that Manager Griffiths s concluded to con- tinue it today and tomorrow, both afternoon and evening. There was the usual large Sunday attend- ance yesterday afternoon at Courtiand, but the threatening weather last evening kept the night crowd down to abont 1,000 per- sons. While begins to- chairs in the box as well as the reserved seats at “Pompeil,”” will be the most com- fortable, no one who simply pays the general admission will have any cause whatever for complaint, as the general admission seats will command & full and unobstructed view of the entire exhibition. The scenes yesterday at the city of Pom- peil were quite the reverse from what they have been during the past two weeks, While all has becn bustle and excitement hereto- fore, everything was quiet and reserved. Not a single workman put in an appearance, and outside of the vast crowds that visited Pom- peil the only individuals visible were the watchmen. But today it will again be differ- ent. An extra force of men will be put on and by this evening all is expected to be in readiness, with the exception of a few finish- ing touches, Twenty-two electric arc lights have been put up and the ushers have all been engaged, with Frank Furay as head usher. While' rehearsals have taken place every evening recently, tonight the first full dress rehearsal will be given. It will include everything except the fireworks. the Reun Weeping Water, located in the center of Cass county, withirallroads runi.ing through from north, south, ‘east and west, has been selected as the place for holding the next and Army of the Republic reunion in the Qistrict comprising the counties of Lancaster, Cass, Otoe, Sarpy and Saunders, on August 21 to 24,inclusive.
