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.

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. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

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.

Demoralised Condition of tlio Country-

EL PASO , Tnx. , Aug. 0. The Times of to

General Luis Snndovnl , In which the revo
lutionist loader scouts tbo idea of Texas
deputy marshals arresting Catarluo Qarza.
But the most important feature of the inter
view is n discussion of the financial condi
tion of Mexico. Jlo says that the affairs of
Mexico are not thoroughly understood by
the pcoplo of the United States bocnuso the
newspapers ore subsidized by the Mexican
government.
The actual condition of the country Is ono
of financial embarrassment. Gcnoral Din ? '
lack of knowledge of governing the country
has led to'.his cilsls. Ho mortgaged tbo fu
ture of Mexico to the extant of $ : ! 00,000,000
for the purpose of building railroads , nnd
now thnso roads by their exorbitant rates
have killed the prosperity of the country.
The national treasury has not the money
to pay the Interest on the railroad bonds for
the coming roar and to cover this deficiency
It Is proposed to float a loan of & 0OIU,000. )
Destitution is universal In the country. The
demoralization in the ofllclal atmosphere Is
such that last WOOK Snnor Homero , recently
nominated minister of the treasury , declared
ofllclnlly that $4,000,000 per unnum might
have been economized during the sixteen
years lu which General Dlar has boon in
power ; that Is to say , SU',000,000 moro than fa.
the railroads bnvo cost. If the proposed
930,000,000 loan Is not floated no otnor ro-
sonrco Is loft but to take the money by force
from the national banks to pay tbo outstand
ing foreign debts , The state of Zncatoeas
has already rcachod this stage mm Is forcing
a loan from the pooplo.
