TALK about the subsidised pressl
There has not boon a binglo republican
paper of national reputation in the
United States which uphold the Pinkerton -
ton men in their attack at Homestead
and all cousuro Mr. Carnegie.
THIS insinuation that Governor Pattl-
son refused to call out tlio militia because -
cause of fear of the labor vote when ho
runs for governor this fall is tlio malic
ious invention of a partisan press. Of
course , of course. Tlio governor is n ,
bravo ra.in , as are all democrats.

.1 I'nniTOVS SITVAT10X.
The convention to nomlnato the
ropubllcan state ticket Is to bo held
within less than four weeks. Victory
or disaster in the coming campaign will
depend upon the action of that com on *
tlon in the principles it enunciates and
the candidates it nominates. If clean ,
competent and reputable mon are nomi
nated on n platform that detls squat ely
with the vital issues which concern the
masses wo shall have a fair chance for
redeeming Nebraska. If corporate
interests and political wicckors domi
nate the convention and dictate its can-
dates lopublican success will bo imper
iled if not hopeless.
Up to this tlmo the party seems to bo
drifting toward the political maolsUoin
without sail or rudder and there is
imminent danger that wo shall strand
on the tocki by a reckless disregard of
popular sentiment.
Two ypars ago when republicans felt
conlldont that they had at least 10,000 us-
stticd majority in the statn the party
took advanced position on the reforms
that woio doomed most vital by InsertIng -
Ing the fol'owlng ' plunks in its platform :

And to emphasi/o iu sincerity the
convention refused to rcnommato two of
the three state ollicors who had failed
to - , to the
io-pond popular demand for : i
reduction of freight uites , and the third
escaped being shehed by a more
scratch.
The question that confronts republi
cans of Nebraska is
shall the party m-
vito defeat by nominating any candidate
who as a public oflicer has boon loci-cant
to hib trust ?
Cen we afford to nominate any man
for any position , high or low , whoso con-
durt or rccotd will place the party on
the defensive ? Wo have not a single
vole to spare this year ; nay , more , wo
cannot hope to win unlcsb wo can con
vince several thousand of the discon
tented republicans who strayed from the
fold thut the candidates wo nominate
this jear will redeem the pledges of
the patty. It remains to bo seen
whether wo have the wisdom , prudence -
donco and patriotism to sacri
fice personal preferences and select for
our standard boaiors in the coming
campaign mon \vlioaioti platform in

the people and in whoso integrity the

The committee appointed by the Now
Yotk senate to investigate the combine
of the anthracite coal 10 ids has ontyrod
upon the discharge of that duty. The
testimony HO far taken is not of a par
ticularly important character , except as
showing a consensus of opinion that
tlioto is no other toaaon for the advance
of coal but the power and greed of the
combination. This
was nlioadv very
generally understood , and the fact that
the apologists for the monopoly offer
o.xcuaes for its bold bchoino to plunder
the public has not changed the popular
mind regarding the wanton character of
this latobt example of trust robbery.
When this combination was formed
ouo of the assurances given by its pi o-
motors was that it would not result in
any maturial changoin the pi-ice of coal.
It was plausibly explained that the de
sign of the deal was to reduce the cost
of the handling and the transportation
of coal , and that In the saving to bo thus
ollocted the public would .share There
were eotno persons who bolloyod that
thoio was sincerity In this assurance ,
and curtain journals whoso Inlluonco ,
locally at least , was iijoful to the combine -
bino In silencing popular dissatisfaction
and dintriist , which were manifested in
the action of legislatures , commended
the scheme as likely to ptovo bonoiielnl
to the public.
Tlio fo'ly of this is now apparent and
everybody is enabled to sue that thin
monopoly was organl/.j 1 with the simo
purpose that prompts the orgnnl/atlon
ol all other monopolies , that is , to on.
rich their promoters by pluniioilng thu
public to the full oxiont of the public's
ability to Htund plundo-ing. Despite
the fact that tills coal combination wns
win nod that any attempt to put Into
elloct monopolistic mothoJs would moot
with tonUtan-jo , it has gone right on ad
vancing freight rates and putting up
the prlco of coal , and tin pros | ot now
Is that tlio consumers of anthracite will
Imvo to pay during next winter $ U or
$3 more per tpn than thoypildlant
winter. Tlio rapacity of the combina
tion , thoi o Is every reason to o.xpoit ,
will bo carried to the fatthost limit
practicable , and from $20,000,000 to $30-
000,000 wrung from the helpless people
will bo dlHtributod within the next
among the projectors of the monopoly.
The outlook Is an exceedingly discom
forting ones for the tons of thousands ol
anthracite coal consumers throughout
the country , to whom this fuel la as
much a necessity as tiny domestic want ,
but the knowledge of this will have no
effect upon the cupidity of tlio monopoly.
It is not worth while to conjecture as to
the possible outcome of the investiga
tion by the Now York son Uo commit
tee. It irf to bo hoped that a way willba
found to deprho this monopoly of the
power to phi n dor the people at will , but
past experience doca not warrant confi
dence that such will bo the result.
iv Tin : IIOVSK SIIHULU HI.KCT.
One of tlio most absurd notions outer-
tallied by members of the people's
party Is that which assumes that tliero
is a possibility of electing the candidate
of that patty if the election of pres
ident should bo thrown into the houso.
Of conrso they do not expect to win in
th'j electoral vote , but they contend
that if they c.m got a sullicionl number
of the electors to throw the election
Into the house their candldato will
stand a good chance of being chosen
The constitution provides tint if no
person voted for for president receive
a majority of the electors , then the
house of representatives shall , by bal
lot , choose the p-osldont "from the
persons having the highest numbers ( of
electors ) not oxi-eedlng three on the
list of these voted for as president. "
If it should devolve upon the house to
olcct the next president , the persons
from whom it would ohooso are Ilar-
rUon , Cleveland and Weaver.
Tlio house votes by ntatos In such a
case , the loprcsontation from each state
having ono voto. In the present house ,
upon which the election would devolve ,
the democrats huvo a tmjotity of the
represent'tion ftom thirty status , the
iopubheans from twelve and the faim-
01 s alliance from two It is poaiihlo that
in the voting some changes might taUo
place , giving perhaps three or four of
the democratic states to the candidate
of the people's ptrty. There are forty-
four states , and it will require the \otos
of twonty-throo to olcct a president. A
careful analysis of the delegations loaves
no room for a doubt that the following
twenty-live stitos would \oto for Clnvo-
l.ind : Alabama , Arkansas , C'otinncticnt ,
Dolawaio , Florida , Georgia , Illinois.
Indian : ) , Kentucky , Louisiana , Mary
land , Massaehusett3Mtohigau , Missouri ,
Montana , Now ll-impshiio , Now Jersey ,
New York , Ohio , Rhode Island , Tennessee -
see , Texas , Virginia , West Virginia ,
Wisconsin. This rcgatds as doubtful
the following Iho states , the majority of
the representation of each being demo
cratic : Iowa , Mississippi , Minnesota ,
North Carolina a-iJ South Carolina. It
is by no means probable , however , that
any of the o states would desert the
democratic candidate , so that the DOO-
plo' & party canjlidato could count with
certainty upon only two votes in the
house , those of Kansas and Nebraska.
Tliero is no conceivable contingency
that would defeat Mr. Cleveland in tlio
ptotent house of representatives , and
those leaders of the now party who are
preaching such a possibility are wan
tonly deceiving their followers in the
intoiost of the democratic party. There
is no hope for General Weaver from the
electoral vote and the idea that ho
might be elected by the house of ropro-
sen'ativos is as wild and visionary as
some of the other notions of the people's
puty. Sy m path i/.cis with that party
who do not want republican principles
supplanted by these of the democracy ,
and who believe that the interests of
the people and the wolfuro of the coun
try would bo as well subserved during
the next four years by Benjamin Harri
son as by Grover Cleveland , will do well
to thoughtfully and candidly consider
this phase of the situation. If the elec
tion of president is thrown into the
house the choice of Mr. Cleveland is in
evitable. The democratic managers
will work to this end. They do not expect -
pect to elect their candidate by the pee
ple. They do not believe they can se
cure a majority of the electors. Their
scheme is to make such a deal with the
now party in the naturally republican
Btitoa as will dcvolvo the election of a
president upon the house of representa
tives , whore they would bo absolutely
certain of success Tins is the full
measure of their interest in and sytn-
path } with the people's p irty.

The pro-iont labor ttoublos in Penn

otlorts of those interested in tno organ-
i/atlon of branches of the Order of Im
proved Workmen of America , the ob
jects . ) f which arc to promote a friendly
and sympathetic fooling between em
ployers and omuloyos , to proyont agi
tators from stirring up strife and dis
cord and to doaway ontiraly with
strikes as a moans of settling labor ditll-
cultlcs. The insurance and benefit feat-
turos are similar to these of many other
orgnniitlons , and the social advantages
common to nil associations of mon for
mutual profit tire not wanting. Tlio ob
jects of this order have boon explained
at length in the columns ol this paper
by its high riiipromo grand matter , John
L'urrio. who formerly resided in Omaha
and who is now engaged in the work of
oignnization.
There can ba no denial of the right of
worklngrnon to organl/o strikes , but the
utility of strikes as a means of securing
substantial and permanent advantages
to employes is often questioned oven by
these who take u irt In them. There
are always many mon in the labor
unions who join toluctnntly in move
ments to fotco omploiOiH to pay higher
wages , bolloving that other a'nd more
conservative methods might bo mete
fruitful of benefits 10 themselves and
tholr associates. Tlio perfectly natural
fouling of resentment that was aroused
in the breasts of the workingmen at
Homestead upon the arrival of the men
who had boon imported to protect the
property of their employers by force
was at least akin to the resentment
which every man fools when It is pro
posed to compel him to do anything
against his will , llonco it follows that
a sit ike , which Is a more moans of com
pulsion , usually gives rise to indignant
and determined tcslbtnnco on the pail
of the employer , and dlllluultics which
might huvo been amicably adjusted by
pacific methods Mftl.o outset result in
serious losses to bifth sides concerned in
the controversy. _ The mediation of out

The del'ty of our public Improvements
has become most exasperating and It has
already driven hundreds of working
people away who had located in this city
but were compelled to leave for want of
employment It has crippled our retail
merchants by keeping from circulation
the money which the poopto voted for
the construction of sewers , pivoments
and school buildings last fall , chiolly
with a view of vitalising the channels of
trade and giving employment during
the building season to thousands of
workingmen.
If this delay continues much longer
there will bo an open revolt against the
methods of the Hoard of Public Works.
There is no valid excuse for further delay -
lay The people are not blind as to the
cause of the delay. They know that it
has arisen chiolly from an attempt to
i tile out one sot of contractors for the
bonellt of a more favored sot. Whether
this has been done out of pure smto-
work or from corrupt motives is imim-
torial. The citizens of Omaha , outside
of the preferred contractors' combine ,
are a unit in demanding that * ho work
of paving and sewer construction shall
begin at once and continue with a full
force nil along the line so long as the
season will permit.
Tirn best thing the World's Fair com
mission can do is to got rid of their
President Baker of the local directory.
That individual has been an obstacle
over since his election , and ho has re
cently exhibited his spleen nnd inca
pacity | in a most otlensivo mini nor.
TIIUKI : is no good reason why the
school board should dump out Mr. Ham

as a lesson.
