IOWA people in Nebraska will learn with deep regret of the .suicide of Mrs. James Wllbou at Amos. Mr. Wilson , popularlycallod "Tumii Jim,1' ' was onuo a congressman from the Fifth district and Is a man of much ability. The sad death ciimo from illness and the fear of going itiBiuio , and the suicidoof a promi nent morchaut of Amos on Sunday had much to do with the rash act by the un fortunate woman's meditation about it. ONI : of the noticeable foaturps'of i the negotiations between the tolo'graphors and the Union Paoillo's oflicors , which huvo resulted in the men securing u handsome increase of pay , together with satisfactory iogulatlons concerning hours , was the persistent determination with which the mun's committee stuck to the text. It took two inonthb , but quint , earnest application finally curried the point. That a batter understanding between employer and employo has boon reached Is apparent. . A. B.

" This Is true and as portl- nont coming from Dakota an it would bo f earning from Nebraska. Let the rich of the great metropolis use tliolr chnrl- lloi In sending their poor from their congested districts to tliU free country and the question of poverty in Now York will bo rid of its moat vexing phaso. Ijl-SS than forty years ago the name of John P. Halo was on the lip * of every American for his llury denunciation of his party in its annexation of Texas mid . lulhiurvlonuy to the growing slave pirty by the ronoal of the Missouri coiupro * mUo. Ho was one of thu greatest mill- slavery agitators in the hlstorv ot America , but his memory has almost pimiod u way. Lust week a statue of this man was presented to the statd of Now Ilunpahlro by Senator Ghandlor , his son-in-law , and the celebration of that , ovunt will servo to awaken In the niiiuU of muu iv knowledge of one of the really courageous men of Auiurluaa history. 1'if-r.intxn von L.inon o.tr. The Omaha ContnU L-xbor union lins issued a circular to the labor organiza tions of the state Inviting them to join with the Central Labor union , com posed of trades unions nnd Knttrhtrt of Labor assombtlos , In n , grand celebra tion of Libor day , to talto place ( n this ulty on Monday , September 5. It Is ox- pooled that till1' will be the groalost demonstration of the kind over wit nessed west of the Missouri river. A feature of the exercises will bo a pro cession composed of the various trade and labor organisations. Labor day has como to bo ono of the red letter days on the calendar. It is the one. day In all the year when workIngmen - Ingmon of all degrees moot upon n common footing to do honor to their respective callings and to proclaim their devotion to honest toll. Labor is everywhere acknowledged to bo the bedrock upon which society rosts. All wealth Is the product of labor ; toll Is the only. , known creative agency , and without It there can bo neither social nor material progress. It is well that labor unions here and elsewhere should make atnp'.o prepara tions for the cdlobratloii'of the day es pecially sot apart for the enjoyment and profit of the wage-earning masses. It is well that they should magnify the dignity of labor and make public dem onstration of their numerical strength , and In doing this they will do honor to themselves and to the whole country. They will not fall into the error of setting ting the members of labor organizations apart from the rest of mankind as the only representatives of the great wage- earning class , nor will they assume that the only real toilers are these who work with hand and brain at the various trades or these who labor in the factory or the mlno. In ono respect L'tborday will bo an oc casion of moro than ordinary interest this year. Owing to labor dilllcultlos unusual In their extent and very serious in their consequences there has arisen of late in'the minds of some people n mis- tak-31) notion that organized labor has placed Itbolf in an attitude of antagon ism toward vested intorobts ; that it re fuses to recognize the rights of em ployers , nnd that it menaces the noaco and security of society. This is not only a mistaken apprehension of the leal position of the great mass of these who alllliato with the labor organizations , but it Is an injustice to them. It is safe to predict that the Labor day demonstra tions this year jvlll bo as orderly and pcacoablo as they have boon hitherto , and that recreation and social Inter course will bo the features of the great holiday. It is to bo hoped that the call of the Omaha Central Labor union will moot with a generous resnoiiso and that citi zens of all classes will endeavor to make 'the celebration In this city a memorable lone. opit xoitTiitiiix M-nannoits. The attention of the Now York Chamber of Commerce has boon called to the movement now on foot in North and South Dakota , Minnesota and Mani toba looking to the establishment of closer trade relations batwcon this country and Canada. As Tin : BKI : has already stated , a convention is to beheld hold at Grand Forks 6n September 1 and 2 next , at which tbo representation will bo on the basis of 1,000 delegates from Manitoba , Assiniboia and Alberta in Canada , nnd Montana , South Dakota , North Dakota , Minnesota and the region of tlio great lakes. Among the prominent advocates of the extension of trade relations who are expected to bo present are Joseph Nimmo , jr. , Erastus Wimun and ox- Congressman W. D. Hill from the United States , and Consul Taylor of Winnipeg and Premier Groonway and others from Manitoba. It is proposed to discuss trade relations between the Canadian northwest and the United States and also lake navigation and a deep water outlet fiom the great lakes to tidewater by the natural channel of the St. Lawronco. An effort Is being inudo by our north ern neighbors to create a gonnral in terest throughout the country in this movement. For the localities in which it originated it is particularly import ant , and oven in Nebraska the conven tion will bo looked forward to with some Interest , as wo have a trade of growing importance in the Canadian northwest which might bo promoted by a success ful issue of the elTorts whieli are being made in behalf of closer trade relations between the two countries. FACTS AGAINST 'fUKQliKS. The Now York Journal of Finance , which may bo presumed to know some thing about the condition of the coun try , has the following editorial comment upon the outlook for the year : "Our agricultural classes are prosporons. Corn will not bo burned next winter be cause It lacks a market Wo hear loss of what wo have become familiar with as grangorlsm the bitterness of un happy fanners , seeking vengeance on vested interests. Our mechanics are employed. Wage ? are good. Manu facturers are busy. Such labor troubles as appear do not In any way rollout , pau perism among our people. Indeed all strikers now In sight are relying upon their prosperity to enable them to gain what they are contending for. Probably our crops this year will bo greater than * they were taut. Europe will need 0.1 much of our grain as she did then. In our trade with the world the balance is hoAvlly In our favor. " The journal quoted undoubtedly understands the biHlno a situation , for it Is devoted to that and nothing else ; but porhapd it Is at fault in its assump- tlon that there Is loss now than formerly of what it calls "tliu bitterness of un happy farmers Reeking vengeance on vested Interests. " It soonis to take it for granted that the prosperous condi tion of the country to which It refers must huvo dissipated the discontent that gavu rise to the fanners' nlllanao , now called the people's parly ; but that Is not true. Whon-qnco suali a movement is started and a considerable iiumbor of people are led to bollovo that the time Is rlpo for great ami radical experi ments in methods of tlnanco It is not to bo expected lint fuels will at onoo prevail - vail against such soduutlvo theories as they ura cherishing. They will need a J. lltllo time to think the matter over. It Is to bo hoped that the moro rational and cool hern clod of them will become sufllclontly calm to glvo a little attention to facts baforo next November. They will bo subjected lo nil the Influences which professional demagogues can bring to boar upon them , but It will no doubt bo found that many of thorn will como to their senses at length and BOO the folly of the course which they are pursuing. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ TIIK OCBKV 7ZBCOKD IHtK.lKKllS. Most people take prldo in the wonderful - ful progress that is bolng in ado by the greyhounds of the sea In reducing the time required for passage across the Atlantic , but no nervous person who has occasion to take the trip can fall to bo slightly npprohonslvo when ho knows that ho Is on board of n racer that Is bent on breaking records. A few days ago the Inm in llnor City of Paris arrived at Sandy Hook after a Voyigo of flvo days , fifteen hours and fifty-eight minutes , boating the record of the Teutonic , of the Wlilto Star Uno , by thlrty-threo minutes. The Teutonic had for some time enjoyed the distinction of bolng the fastest of the transatlantic llyors , and when tier record was beaten her sklppor resolved to nut her through for a oulckor , nassago than that of the City of Paris. The olTort was made on the Teutonic's last voyage from the ether side. She not only failed to boat the time of the City of Paris but she disabled ono of her engines and reached Now York consider ably behind her own regular timo. Before - fore she was orlpplod , however , she made ono dav's run of 523 knots , which is olght knots bettor than the b3st pre vious day's run over made. This ocean racing and record broak- inir is exciting and calculated to stir up the enthusiasm of the partisans of the competing ships , but it cannot bo denied that it is attended with some danger to passongors. A vessel that is bolng sent for a record will lese as little time as pobsiblo on account of fogs or ether dangers of the sea , and In splto of the host seamanship she must bo exposed to perils which under ordinary conditions could easily bo averted. THE TKXnKXCl' OP TltADK. The weekly trade reviews are inter esting reading to all who desire inform ation concerning the condition of busi ness throughout tlio country. This week R. G. Dun & Go's report is fully as en couraging as It was last , and shows that trade is everywhere active and the out look for the fall business very bright. The report for Omaha is Mattering , as it has been for several weeks past , and the cities of the west and south generally appear to bo doing well. This is duo to various causes , most important of which is the excellent crop prospect. The volume of trade is reported to bo 15 par cent greater durlng July than during ( the same month last year , nnd greater than in any previous year in the history of the country. Ono of the most interesting features of the report is the information given covering the wool and cotton market. In the former ttio transactions arc largo and the prices firm , as manufacturers nro buying freely. The cotton mills are sold out of stock for several wooka ahead and the southern cotton markets are active in consequence of the de mands of the manufacturers. In the boot and shoo business trade is active , as it has boon for nriny weeks past. The significance of this steady and largo donvind for woolen and cotton goods , boots and shoos and othorarttclos which the people consume in greater OP loss quantities according to their ability to buy , will bo readily understood. An in creased consumption In these lines moans that the people at largo are prosperous and that they have faith in the future. The signs of the times are full of promise , and the American people never had bettor reason for con tentment than they have today. THE ADJOUHKMKNT OF COiVORBiS. The first session of the Fifty-second congress will bo moro memorable for what it did not do than for what it accomplished. No house of represen tatives over mot under conditions moro favorable for making a good legislative record than did the house of the present congress , yet what a contrast it presents to the splendid record of the preceding congress. In the house of the Fifty-first congress the republicans had a compar atively monger majority , and owing to the revolutionary methods resorted to by the democrats to obstruct leglslallon the majority mot with obstacles in Iho way of Iho transaction of business such as no ether house had over encountered in the history of the country. The present house mot with a democratic majority , Including the alliance votes , of 150 , the democrats thus having the power to do practically as they pleased. But with a two-thirds majority the record of Iho house finds a parallel only in the Fiftieth congress , which wont down to history as that of the great "do- nothing houso. " . When the present house mot it pro posed to distinguish Itself in the matter of economical appropriations , butu its economies were chlolly in the direction of putting a chock upon public work , most of which will probably have to bo provided tor at the next session or by the next congress , juid with all the efforts in this direction the appro priations exceed in amount these of the first HOSSIOII of the preceding congress by $41,000,000. Beyond the aj propri- ation bills not a single raoasuro of great importance will go on the statute book as the rpsult of the work of this houso. As wu pointedly said by ox-Speaker Reed : "Not ono measure above the dignity of rye straw will mark the annals of Iho house of representatives of the Fifty-second congress. In his tory U will present .the doad- level of a Dutch landscape with all its windmills , but without a traca of its beauty or fortuity. The only plctur- osquoobjoct which will break the sky line will ho Mr. Holmun , draped as u statue of economy , standing upon the rallroad-orownnd summit of the Law- roncoourg embankment , for which ho secured an appropriation , trying in vain with a BoyglaBs to. find any trace of iv rlvoi- the embankment was intended to conllno. " After passing a rlvor and harbor bill which carried a larger up- pr"pnutlon than any ether similar m casuro in the history of the govern ment , the doinocntlc house of ropio- senlatlvos refused a respoclablo appro priation for Increasing the navy , n minority under the loadorshlp of the chairman of the cbmpiitteo on appro priations maintained a deadlock for days on n propoMton ) to glvotho World's fair moro money , Involving n stoppage for a t mo of important gov- ornmont business , mil failed to pass n single measure f < r the construction of public buildings , a though a number of such bills passed by ttio senate were un questionably meritorious. The record of liToTfirst session of the nrosont democratic house of rep resentatives has amply demon strated , though not for the first time , the utter Incapacity of that party for giving the country wlso legis lation. It has shown conclusively , how ever , that the democratic party is In favor of destroying Uho protective sys tem ot the country an"d of debasing the currency. All the ofTorls of Ha ropro- 'sontallvos have boon In the dli'eclion of free trade and the defeat of measures for the free and unlimited coinage of silver was duo to the votes of the repub lican minority. The democracy can find nothing In the record of the present house of representatives to commend the party to the confidence of the country. A POETS CBiVrtfiV/lBr. Thursday , August 4 , was the centenary - nary of Shelley , and wherever the Eng lish tongue Is spoken and English lltora- turo Is loved , the day was observed In nubile or in private. Numberless Shelley loy societies on both sides of the Atlan tic eulogized and lauded the genius ' which their ancestors and his contompo- rarlos axooratod. Thj greatest poet o his time and Ono of the few truly immor tals ot nil time , it was not until tko short span of his lifo was crossed that ho received raoro than the partial recognition of the world , save from a few personal acqualntarcos. Born at a time when the spirit of the French revo lution quickened into lifo the genius of independence and free thought , his In nate hatred ot tyranny in all its forms , voiced itself in a manner especially do- toslod by the representatives of the rot ten aristocracy of Iho time , and his out spoken utterance of the truth brought upon him a storm of denunciation whoso echoes may still bo hoard from the bigots of our day. But today no ono questions his sincerity , no ono doubts his philanthropy , none dare bollttlo his gonlus. That ho did not always act In accordance with the established code Is true , but in all ho was true to his honest am1 deep seated convictions. Ills poetry is thVof \ a real singer , not the sensuous swootjioss ( of Keats , not the mire strains that dlslitruro Byron's brightest verses , ! but''lofty ' ' in purpose , brilliant in imagd ry prand in diction. Ho was no dlllotante weaver of rhyraos , but a poet in the highest , purest sonso. The genera ) tendency to honor his con- tonay while that of Byron was barely recognized showsljtho development of literary taste sinlo their day and Is of the highest crodltjto the latolligont dis crimination of this ago. His faults in teaching and lifo were faults of his time and the best of his thoughts and poetry is that by which ho will and should bo judged , j A WELSHMAN'S VIEWS. Ono of the most prominent men en gaged in manufacturing in Great Britain is J. H. Rogers , chairman of the Welsh Tin Plato Makers association , who has recently boon in this country to look into the growth and development of the tin plato industry horo. Since his re turn to Wales Mr. Rogers has boon in terviewed upon "tho subject of his in vestigations by thoSwansoo Intelligencer , the official organ of the association with which ho is connected. In reply to the question , "Supposing Mr. Cleveland were aloctod , what would bo the offcot of his policy ? " Mr..Rogors roollod : "I think the result would bo that the tariff would be lowered and that wages would consequently fall. The working classes would , of course , not bo willing to remain without work , and the manufacturers would have to reduce wages to enable them to compete suc cessfully with ether countries. Wages in America are at present double what they are here , but if America adopted frco trade they would probably bo re duced by one-half , nnd thus become equal to the wngos paid horo. " Ho further stated that from his own ob servations in the United States ho could say that the working classes earn higher wages and the cost of living is BO llttlo moro than It is In Wales lhal the Americans have much greater com fort and are able to save moro rapidly. Rents are higher in America , but the necessaries of lifo to workingmen and families are cheaper. The visit of Mr. Rogers to this coun try was occasioned by the apprehension of the Welsh tin plate manufacturers that the growth of the industry In the United States would prove serious to them. The condition which ho found here explained to his mind why so many workmen from foreign countries Have sought employment here , and why the condition of the American working classes la so mud ? Ii'ollor than that of the same class In. Europe. The prodlc- * tlon an to the effect t/lmt / democratic suc cess In the coming'o pqtlon would have upon the Ainorpo.p { ( manufacturer and wagoworkor Is apparently an entirely Indnpondont and. .dialntorostod ono. It is worthy of thd Kttohtlon of all who are in search of tho't1iY | ; ] i concerning the in- iluonco of the protective tariff. WHAT CllAfi SHOULD VO. After days oMlllbustoring , which has brought ropro $ b'upon { the country , congress flnallyrigc0od | to approprlato $2,600,000 to aid in defraying the cost of completing the work of preparation for the World's Columbian exposition. This is half the amount which Iho directors of the great onlorpriso asked for , but the stubborn democratic opposition to any appropriation compelled a compro- jrniso , which was finally accepted by the friends of. the fair In congress. This donation , thrown ungraciously to Chicago cage , us was said by Sana tor Sherman , llko a bono to a dog , is burdened wth | a condition whloh would result in a. loss to the fair of several times the amount. It is provided that If the appropriation bo uccoptod the exposition shall bo closed on Sunday. According to con- sorvallvo estimates this wbula entail a loss of from $5,000,000 to $7,000,000 of revenue and It wotltd exclude hundreds of thousands of people from the fair on the ono day of Iho week when they could attend without loss of time and Income. Every consideration In the Interest of the oxposlllon and of the masses of the people who will bo most largely benefited by the educational Inlluonco of the ex position dictates that the Columbian commission should reject this appro priation and appeal to the generosity and patriotism ot the people of Chicago to provide the additional amount neces sary to complete Iho work of prepara tion. There can bo no cloubl that such an appeal would moot with prompt and hearty response. If $5,000,000 is still required - quired Chicago must provide half of It If the appropriation of congress bo no- Copied , and she can easily raise the whole amount. Let the people of that great city say lo Iho democrats of the house of representatives , who fron ? soo- ] tlonal prejudice or In the spirit ot a nar row and unpatriotic economy refused to glvo thq needed aid lo Iho World's expo sition , that Chicago can carry It to suc cess without their help , and will manage It without their dictation. Having raised $10,000,000 for this purpose her resources are not yet exhausted nnA she can ralso half as much moro without exhausting thorn. Such action would redound moro to the honor of the city than what has already boon done , and It would have the approval of liberal minded people ovorywhoro. The proposal to close the exposition on Sunday ouirht not to receive sorlous consideration. It is preposterous from every rational nnd pracllcat point of view. The only classes to bo benefited by doing so would bo the saloonkeep ers , the fiudrs and the proprietors of the many schemes for llcocingtho people which will abound in Chicago during the fair. The Columbian exposition will bo essentially u great educational enterprise , illustrating the scientific , artistic and material progress of the world , and particularly of the United Stales. The class who will bo most benefited by Us instructive character are the plain people the working mon and working women of Iho land thou sands of whom are oven now preparing by small accumulations lo visit the fair. Many such within a radius of a hundred or two miles of Chicago will go oflon lethe the exposition if they can pass a Sunday there who could visit it but once , and some perhaps not at all , if compelled to tvko a week day for doing so. Wholly apart from , and far moro important than , the financial loss that would result from Sunday closing Is the consideration that it would doprlvo a very largo number of people of the opportunity to acquire instruction which would bo very much to their advantage , and thus the f air would como short of fulfilling ono of Its most important functions. The exposition authorities cannot afford to accept the gift of congress with the condition it imposes , and its rejec tion would undoubtedly glvo the enter prise u slrongor hold upon popular in- lorest both at homo and abroad.
