Over 200 to $ oOO , IB per cent. Over $ TXX ) the cut is 20 per cent , which will affect the big guns loss than the man receiv ing $ iio per month. What action the brotherhoods and fed erations will take now that the olllcul order has gone forth Is n much discussed question. The continued postponement of the order reducing salaries on the Union Pacific had given the employes cause to hope that In creased earnings would effectually stop nil intention of a reduction on thu part of the odlclnls In' Boston , But increased earnings cometh not , and the longed-for brightening of the financial horizon Is seemingly Just as far off as ovor. While there is nn increased movement of grain and live stoclc It is by no moans commensurate with thc > demands mndo upon the system by reason of operating ex penses , lixed charges , etc. , and the hope of tivo months has 11 nn I ly changed Into hope- lossuoss ever the Situation. llroko the Now * to Thorn. When Mr. Dickinson called his men to gether Saturday In general conference through their accredited representa tives , nnd showed thorn the exact situation , it was tlio beginning of the otid. No propo sition was made at the meeting on Saturday because n proposition was not necessary. Acting under instructions received from Boston the general manager had no other recourse than to acquaint them with the Inevitable. The men know the situation thor oughly , nnd wliilo they did not acquiesce In all Mr. Dickinson said they agreed with him that something had to bo done. Having scaled forces In all other depart ments tlio retrenchment order struck the employes ut iho union depot Saturday , four men receiving their time chocks. But not content with this the depot force were llrst to feel the clTect of a reduction in wages , an order having boon issued reducing all sala ries 10 per cent , effective SoplomboilQi The Union Pacific is not by any means tlio only road interested in the question of a re duction in salaries , tlio Southern Pacific's pay car being from two to three weeks behind - hind time and then employes are compelled to see hold out a certain tier cent of their salaries to tide the road along until bettor business brings a brighter condition of affairs. It is asserted that President Huntington - ington of the Southern Pacific had to glvo his personal note forl,000,000 to secure the payment of $ SOO.OOO , the amount of last month's pay roll. lloir llrothorhood Jlen Fcol. Some of. the representative mon In the labor world. It is understood , nro opposed to the reduction on the grounds that the force lias been cut to the utmost limit nnd a reduc tion in salaries is a still further hardship upon a class of mon who now barely make u living. A number of the beads of the sev eral organization ; meeting Mr. Dickinson on Saturday are still in Omaha , and it is thought a conference of all the employes of the Union Pacific will bo called within a day or two to dccido upon what course to pursue. The men fear that if salaries are reduced it will bo a very long time buforo they are restored to the old figures. lu consequence , there is a desire to get together and talk ever the turn affairs have taken on the Union Pacific. Santa Fo Kumnrj. About the railway ofllces there was a very interesting rumor that the Santo Fo would not pay salaries this month , notwithstand ing that President Uhinohart made the somewhat sensational statement the other day that his road was "wading in money up to its nook.

While 'Simpson is unpopular in his own district , ho is not without friends In the rest of thostalo , and lie will stand around next year for senatorial llghtnlnc1 to strlito. If the ponullsts win the legislature Judge Mar tin will bo succeeded by n populist , and Simpson would dearly like to have the place. Thcro Is a growing sentiment among the populists to nominate the senator by the state convention , ns Sen ator Palmer was nominated by the demo crats in Illinois. Should this plan bo adopted , Simpson would start oven In the raconnd failing to win , It Is the scheme of his friends to help W. A. Harris to the nomination , and cntor jpimpson for the nomination for congrcssman-at-largo , the position now occupied by Harris. But it Is admitted that Simpson's chances for further political preferment just now are remote , and the fates will in all proba bility permit him to carry out n long cherished project. SlmpHon'g Proposed I.eeture. Simpson believes ho was cut out for'an Irish agitator , and It is said ho Is already at work on n lecture on thu Irish question , which , after a short tour in tlio United States , ho will take to England and board the British lion in his don. Ho has the double purpose In this cutcrpriso of gaining notoriety in the now Held and of r .snowing his.popularlty at home. But Simpson's follow -dalesmen in the bouse need not bo in haste to congratulate themselves upon his prospective retirement. Another character equally as odd and much moro persistent is preparing to ask for n nomination. Secretary of State Osborn finds state-house lifo too humdrum for him , and although ho will not admit that ho Is a candidate , n boom has been started for him for congrcssf Mr. Osborn lives in in the Sixth district , which Is now represented by a thrifty old gentleman , who never fails to draw his pay the day It is one , and being equally faithful in recording his vote according to the populist theory , ho is fairly satisfactory to his party. But Os born is the populist ideal of u statesman , and if ho will signify a desire for the congres sional nomination ho may have it , and an election would follow , as the district is hope lessly populist. .Morn Original tlmii 1'nlTer. Osborn is ovnn a moro original character than Senator Poffer. and can spring nioro now ideas and financial schemes than a dozen men Ilka the faithful "Milkman'1 Otis , who represented the Topcka district in the last congress. Moro than this , Osborn Is loaded with figures nnd statistics and is never at loss for words. In congress ho would keep tno house in a fovcr of excitement. Ho would welcome the speaker's recognition because - cause it would injure the attention of the house , but failing to got it , ho would talk Just the same If ho thought it was his turn. Osnorn is a very popular man in his party , albeit the newspapers call him crazy. Ho is honest and sincere and although his schemes are impractical they suit his kind of people , and when ho starts in the race forconcrcss Mr. Baker may as well surrender. Now , between haying and the corn crop is the popular picnic season , and Osborn is in great demand. Ho spends two-thirds of his time on the stump and every speech ho makes puts him that much nearer to congress. Itf'pulillcnn * nd Deinoenits Fuse. Toi'KKA , Aug. 23. The ropuolican and democratic state committees of Seward county have issjied a call for a joint conven tion for September 2 to 'nominate a county ticket. This now fusion deal botwcen the republicans and democrats has gro.itiy excited - cited the populists , who fear other counties in western Kansas will form such a combine for the local elections this yoar. The call urges "nil good citizens who dcsiro to beat back the wave of anarchy which is destroy ing the good namo'and credit of Kansas , and making her people the laughing stock of the nation , to unite in this movement to over throw populism , " which they designate as a monaco to good government. Dispatches from the west state that in a score of coun ties a similar fusion will bo effected. ICunsns Filmier * In Is'eud or Aid. TOPF.KA , Aug. 28. Secretary Mohlor of the Stnto Board of Agriculture has issued an ap peal for seed wheat and money with which to buy it for the farmers of western Kan sas. The appeal states that the wheat crop is a total failure In that portion of the stato. The appeal adds that ' .ho popular opinion that western Kansas In not adapted to the growing of wheat is erroneous ; that In three out of the four last years this entire section shows as largo a yield per aero as the east ern part of Kansas and a larger yield per aero than Illinois and Indiana.
