St Ynlcntlnc ,
Another milestone In the progress of tbe
year added to the social variety of the week
In the celebration of St Valentines day ,
A cuMom that originated in pagan rites
and ceremonies has grown nmong us nine
teenth century foils a nowor-covorcd ninnnor
* Of love feast A day when damsels and
- * swains for the nonce lay bare the heart
nr.d its tender sentiment , veiling thorn only
In the manner of exchanging affoctlon ,
Among the supcrstltous there exists a belief
that nil birds ehooso their mates on the morn
ing of February 34. From this no doubt or
iginated another which taught that -If a
maidens first glance after day dawn foil
upon one of the oppoBlto sex younger than
herself , the coming year will know her a
brick , the following verso addrosscd to the
good saint who Is patron of this day Is sup
posed to cxpcdlto matters On the llrst look
abroad the dumsol must repent :
"Oood Saint Valentine show unto mo ,
Who will my future husband bo "
There are almost ns many ways of com
+ m polling the secrets of fate on this ovcnlng as
HHPh * on that night of the witches , Hullowcen , and
* auy number of oar belles and beaux tonic oc
casion on Friday ovonlng to liinUo merry
with this object In vlow ,
The postman's bngs during the day were
( awning with written tenderness and the
foot of the rosy-chookad , brnss.buttonofl
mossonccr boys were known to forgot their
cunning owing to the fatlguo of dolivorlug
so many boxes of sweets and tiosios as u val
online greotlng of some civalior
T v All the world sooaicd love mad and even a
tlmo-houorod Bplnstor from the contagion
Wns hoard to exclaim with my lady In the
"Tulooftho , Tubl"
This frosty morning wo will take the air
About the Holds for 1 do mean to bo
Somebody's valentine , in my velvet gown ,
This morning , though it bo but a beggcr-
t mans "
The "Knlonilar Karnlvnl" on Tuesday nnd
Wednesday evenings lent the nid of its post
-olllco in the ice paluco presldod over by
charming maidens in cosiumo a la ltusse to
utterly undo the young men about town by
their gcntiral flattering and navcrso person
alities
Happily , the so-called comic valentine with
its rldicnlo and ribald jest is a. thiugof the
past and oven among the Ignorunt and coarse
minded they are no longer made the medium
of abuse
I think It wlsoto say that mnnv of the
Bccrets dlsclosod on Friday through courage
born of the day will glvn bachelors and
maidens food for happy thought nnd'tnako 11
feast rather than a fast of the coming forty
days

for a lareo increase of population is excellent ,
and many tenement houses are plnnnod , and
some are already building , to moot tbo in
creasing demand It U singular , though
nntural , that the now comers are mostly
mnlus The native population presents the
right proportion of muls nnd femnle.but It is
not so with the outsiders This is cupeciallv
apparent in the Gentile churches Ono sees
live men to ono woman iu the churches ,
while In the taberuaclo women rutnor pre
dominate I venture to predict that this
whole vexed question of local politics will
And its natural solution by the Gontllo carpetbaggers
petbaggers" marrying the Mormon girls
The latter are pretty , ns a rule , though a
little proud , and make the best wives
As the telegraph has loag since informed
your readers of the success of the libornl
ticket , I will only say in reference to the
election Itsolf.lhat It was as orderly as possi
ble 'Ihoro were some arrests for illegal
voting , but the dofootcd party accepted its
fate with a good grace The effect on the
real estate market when it became probable
at noon that thu libarals0yould win , was to
create n good demand A great deal uf property
orty changed hands undilicfcos were raised
on nearly over thing in tljp real estate line
Every one predicts thpfithis city will out

least , be no doubt , that it will double its
population in a very short time

What do wo do In the wlntor I"
Well , that's ' uu awful hard question to an
swer "
Tbo query wns put to a man known m
Omnba as one of the swiftest and boat off
bear * brlcitvard mon in the country
Ho was a stalwart fellow , face bronzed ,
roughly but warmly dressed and had an hon
est-looking eye lie was conversing with a
group of acquaintances on n cold corner , nnd
stared at the reporter as though some Bpy
was endeavoring to win bis confidence Mut
ters were explained in a second , nnd thu two
repaired to shelter
Now that I know that you nro a reporter ,
I dent care If wo do have a chat , " said the
brickyard man , and , In fact , I am glad to
be placed In a position where
I pan sot rigut certain criticisms and other
street remarks which have been made from
time to time about the boys who do similar
labor to initio "
After making a bootjack In a plug of to
bacco the brick artist continued ; "We are
not such a bad lot as some people imagine
'Ino most of us , especially tbo tnoldors and
off-bear men , are married Wo have our
families to support and the most of us do It
properly It Is true there are a few bums
in the gang who float from town to town ,
but that cuts no figure with the Btoady ole
ment Then there is another class of brick
yard laborers who iujuro our respectability ,
who aspire to be politicians , but tbo hoys are
onto them , and next season some of them
will be looliiuK for a job Workmen in every
trade , however , have their backsots , and
ours is po exception to the rule
What do wo do In the winter ) Well ,
that depends altogether upon bow much a
fellow saves during his summer harvest ,
bopio of the boys are more economical than
ethers Hut tbo average moulder and off
bearer who has followed tbe work for sever
al seasons nnd who understands hit work ,
lays away enough sbockels during tno work
ing season to.tide him over through the win
ter Hut we are a strong , lusty lot and if it
comes to a sbow down wo can work at al
most any common labor
Some of the boys , In fact a large number
of them , work on the river cutting ice -Tbo
pay is good and it doesn't take anything but
muscle and health to do tbe work
"Jd'the summer wo make It and 15 a day
Most of us llvo cheaply , and if our wives
are good , savors and most of thorn are we
have a nice little nest-egg laid away by tbe
time tbe yard season is over
Other common labor such as hod carrying ,
mortar mixing , helping tbe carpenters and
stone masons on big buildings Is indulged la
by tbo bonost brickyard laborer , Tbe good
ones are not afraid of work of any sort ho
far as that is concerned Then there are
boys among our craft who can run a sta
tionary engine Some of them get inside
work at small pay At any rata tbe sober
fellows never want ( or same sort of a Job ,

Omaha , Feb 13. To the Editor of Tub
Bee : I have no means of knowing the exact
nuinbor of worktngmon employed by corpor
ations , syndicates , railroad companies , man
ufacturers , contractors and builders , sur
veyors , planters , farmers , merchants , house
boldors , coal dealers , landlords , eto ; but
they constitute the major portion of our pop
ulation Are they organized as a body for
aotive and efficient work In theirown behalf 1
By no means I
A federation of agriculturalists nnd work
lngmon representing the most skillful trades
has been effected but so far it may bo re
garded as nn experiment of doubtful utility
And why ? Because the skilled mechanics
appear to forgot that they are part and par
cel of the great mass ot toilers engaged
in tbo struggle for a Hvollhood ; because
they hold the laborer la supreme con
tempt and look with lofty disdain
on the under paid carpoutcrs
and woodworkers ; because the wants
of the laborer nro not considered when a
Btriko Is contemplated and are totally ig
nored whan the strike is on , while the better
paid but spendthrift artisans are well pro
vided for , In the case of railroad einployos
tbo tlckot agents , baggage masters , conduc
tors , engineers , llretnen and brauemen receive -
coivo wages that will tide thorn ever a long
strlko , but tha poor section men who hoop
tbe roads In rouuir for the paltry sum of
$1,10 per day are obliged to resort to the
alternative of runnlng'hopclessly in debt or
denying themselves the common necessities
of life In many cases the latter method is
compulsory anu if the strike Is continued for
an indefinite period the poor mon are re
duced to absolute penury
Lot no ono suppose tnnt the strlko has no
bearing on the aoction men , because tha
roadH must bo keptln repair , The company
boos the noccsslty of reducing expenses una
in nearly every case lay off all but the fore
roan and ono assistant
There Is a largo number of worklngmen
employed on and around the new buildings
of our cities and towns that ought to bo a
unit In their efforts to iuprovo their condi
tion , but tbe reverse Is the rule Bach clubs
or trade has a separate or distinct organiza
tion that has nothing In common with its
brother unions and when a strike is ordered
by one its members take no thought about
the effect it will have on tlio ethers This
course is not only suicidal to the welfare of
all those Interested in the construction of
the buildings , which includes owners , con
tractors , architects , plumbers , gas litters ,
tinners , painters , stone cutters , briok layers ,
carpenters , hod carriers and roustabouts , but
has a direct bearing on lumbormeD , wood
workers , brlckmatcers and all other workmen -
mon engaged in the manufacture and baud
ling of tbo materlul besides all common la
borers who owe their subsistence to the
building boom It retards the building
boom and to that extent affects the general
prosperity of the whole community , It is
alleged that Omaha loses annually upwards
of 1100,000 through tbo discord created by
the brick masons union , but mora of that
hereafter <
It is to be hoped that the worklngmen and
agriculturalists of America will eventually
form a union that means strength , A feder
ation that represents the brawn and sinew
of tbo great body of workers-ongagod In the
building and tbe upbuilding of this great re
public God speed the time

justly bo paid to the great prison ro-
formur , snvs the London Times With
nil Howard's reputation und his name
is household word among1 his eountry-
mon his precise title to honor has
boon ganorally misundoratood , Ho la
loosely spoken of as a philunthroplat
who wont from prison to prison Ana
from hospital to hospital of Kuropo
tnliilstorlnp to tlio wants ot prisoners
and stole parsons Howard was without
doubt a good and oharitnblo man , Due
the errand upon which ho traversed
Europe ever and ever aaln ; was not an
errand of mercy in that uonso Ho bad
a far doapor conception of the philanthropists
thropist's function than to soattor doles
Nor web ho ono oi these friends of humanity
manity" whose friendship to their fol
low creatures consisted in evolving
grand theories out of a so-called natu
ral law ' ' Howard really did for im
prisonment what Beccarlannd Dontham
did for criminal legislation placed il
upon a humane and logical basis To
his credit , be applied to phllanthropny ,
almost for the first time , a patient pro

missionaries whom Stanley bus cole *
