Tlio Anchnt Order of United Workmen ,
strong right hero In Omaha , with
a thousand members , and In No.
braska , with over seven thousand members ,
yet nn order that Is not well known , or , if
known at all , is comlcmnud with the hun
dreds of secret orders which hair no resom-
lihincu to it , cither In formation , strength or
purpose. It is a purely benovolout order ,
CTiO.OOOstrontr , enrrylngnii insurance of { 3,000 ,
on the life of each member. Originally got
ten up for the purpose of giving Insurance at
ox net- cost to each and every member , twen
ty-three years ago , it has carried out Its pur
pose in every case , and during its brief ox-
litcnco has disbursed lens of millions of dollars
lars to the widows and orphans of its de
ceased brothers. In territory It covers the
United States and Canada , and n member of
any lodge In any jurisdiction can always find
relief and care tn any part of the country ho
may bo in , if required.
In Omaha there are flvo lodges , varying In
membership from sixty to nearly three hun
dred. They are all In a good financial condi
tion , frequently clvlngholp , not only to their
own members when sick or out of work , but
N _ _ _ nho frequently Inking up outside charities ,
K nnd whenever they undertake to assist where
\y \ charity or protection is needed , they not only
do It , but do it well.
In so manv ndnds Is tbo Idea of secret so
cieties existing only for purposes of buffoon
ery and nonsense imbued , that it may ha well

n fair samnlo of the rest ,

Hhip of about ono hundred and seventy-five.

flu-plus. Before it are heard , in parliamen
tary practice , nil questions of the day , intel
ligent debaters , essays , recitations , etc. The
. / botid uniting the members is of thn strongest ,
- but a penorous rivalry always exists between
this and its slater lodccs , and frequent enter
tainments , open to all members nnd frc-
quontlv to thu public , tends to keep up enthu
siasm in tbo good work.

The action of the Minnesota senate com
mittee of the whole , in recommending the
passage of the now Justly celebrated bill pro
hibiting the wearing of tights on the staao ,
would Indicate that wo have spurts of reform
and spasms of vlclonancss , now and then
breaking out side by side lus t as the vllo
smelling sunflower occasionally grow in the
same bed as the lily ot the valley.
These upright Judges of morality would
place Viola la vestments and Rosalind in
a Mackintosh , miner than that tholr sons and
daughters should bccomo depraved through
the display of fleshing _ tn a burlesque or In
somoof Shakespeare's ' plays.
Should this spasm or reform Dccomo gen
eral wo H.ay all Uvo to seu the cods placed in
dress suits , and the goddesses in Kcdfern
( jowns high necks nud long sleeves.
Hail the bill been aimed at the Indecent
piftutt.j which now and then adorn the dead
walls of the city , If it had provided
ngalnst the * suggestive thrco shoots of
several minstrel shows which nro touring the
country , there could not have been anything
but rojoicmg that so earnest a stand for the
purity of the drama had been taken , but
when they aim to place an embargo upon the
wearing of tights , instead of the highly col
ored lithographs of hnpossibio blondes and
brunettes In very qucUiotiablo positions ,
their ctlorts in the cause of morality amounts
to little better than n farco.
But the Minnesota reformer ? are not with
out associates In the matter of reform. A
number of well known Philadelphia women
bavo raised a protest against the studies of
tlio nude displayed In the Academy of Fine
Arts of tlio good city of brotherly lovo.
"Wo deslro lu the nnmo of the womanhood
of Phllndephla"recitea ! this now index expur-
gatorious , "and as voicing thecxpressed senti
ments of very many several of whom are
stockholders of the academy respectfully tote
to protnst against the flagrant indelicacy of
many of the pictures now on exhibition.
"It Is the general sentiment that never before -
fore in Philadelphia has modesty been so
ruthlessly assailed. As Christian women ,
wo feel this to bo an offense to our woman
hood , an attack on the delicacy of our daugh
ters nnd the morality of our sons. "
And yet many of the women whoso names
nro signed to this protest are
society favorites. loaders in the
exclusive circles of ttio city which prizes
blood above every other consideration. And
yet without the least qualms of conscience
they will attend the Assembly balls , tno
Mcadowbrook hunt parties , the Horao
Guards' dances in the most ultra of decollete
gowns , glorying in the charms of neck nud
throat , flattered at the covert glances
bestowed upon them by the male moths that
flutter about them.
Per contra these artists , their friends and
the public generally deny that there is any
impropriety In exhibitions of the human
form , either on caava * or on the stage , unless
the representation makes a direct appeal to
the senses ; tbey claim that mere nudity is
not indecent except to minds which aio de
praved , and that the complaints which are
made of the evil effects of classic art emanate
almost invariably from prurient prudes
whoso minds are so constantly dwelling on
improper themes that they llnd indelicacy In
a picture of the crucifixion and abroach of
good taste in a ref urcnco to the legs of a
piano.
But If Phlladolphlnns are content with
pictures of red-brick houses and nea-greou
meadows , und LliUik well of the Italian who
draped Mlclmol Angela's figures with
trousers and petticoats , who shall gainsay
ttiern ? This Is a wide world nnd there Is
room for every eccentricity of las to.

We have at a great cost of money , labor and loss of sleep , secured
the ONLY ACCURATE TALISMAN no\v in existence. By it we are
told of every Fire , every Failure and every Railroad Wreck of mer
chandise at least three weeks prior to their occurrence. Our talisman
lias also secured for us the imperial cutter of all the courts of Europe ,
( for we now stand in with all kings and queens ) -who remodels every
garment to suit the shapes , forms and wishes of the most fastidious and
best dressed citizen in this community. Thus it will be seen tlmtwe are
in ADVANCE of all competitors. We are on the ground , tell them of
their coming afflictions and thus secure enormous stocks at about our
own figures.
By the aid of a few congressmen , whom we control at Washington ,
\ve have made a contract with the government that enables us to man
ufacture our own currency , which will be taken at par wherever pre
sented , with no cost to us except the printing. Thus it will be seen we
have been enabled to distance all competitors.
And when it becomes necessary to improve our condition we will
write more truck like this. But experience is the bast and only teacher ;
that is a well established fact , and when houses who have been , here
scarcely a fortnight attempt to tell you that they can do things so much
better than we who have been here over a third of a century , it sounds
as if the eggs were trying to teach the chickens to cackle.
We say nothing of our advantages of owning our own business
building and the ground it stands upon.
In the meantime we shall be equal to all and second to none. You
may rely on the best styles , the lowest prices , for all your wants in
