The political campaign In Nebraska Is be
ginning to show signs of activity nnd from
Jiow on the Interest will grow from day to
) lay. The campaign promises to bo Intensely
pelting , ns the election this year Involves
not merely the whole- state government , but
hlso n legislature that Is to elect a United
plates senator In the place of Charles P.
Jilandcrson , whoso term expires on the -lib
pt March next. From correspondents at the
( various county scots The Dee has been able
lo gather the following details as to the sllu-
) Ulon and outlook. The reports so far cover
about one-fourth of the state , but they pro-
fccnt a perspective that takes In a portion of
pvery section of the state :
LINCOLN COUNTY.
Ilopubllcans hero are firmly Impressed with
tfio idea that John 13. Evans should bo the
next secretary of state and are laying plans
accordingly. MacColI , Majors and Cady all
Jiavo friends in this county who champion
lliolr respective Interests In the fight for the
Kubernntorlal nomination. It Is surmised
lliat the Evans following , which Is strong ,
% vould prefer seeing Tom Majors the nominee
for governor , Inasmuch as western Nebraska
cannot hope to furnish both governor and
Secretary of state. The flght.wlll be made
lo secure a solid Evans delcgatjon to the
Btnle convention , but the friends of Jack
MacColI may have something to say In the
tnattcr. It Is very apparent that John Evans
Is developing considerable strength. He is
fan old resident and has always token on
Sotlve part In local and state politics. He
was postmaster hero during the Hayes nd-
ulnlstratlon and has served two terms as
jounty clerk. As chairman of our county ,
Senatorial and congressional republican cen-
; ral committees he has gained a wide ac-
luolntance In western Nebraska and Is very
popular with the rank nnd ( lie of the party.
For the state senate Captain Alters of Gor
ing seems to bo the le.idlng republican can
didate , while Dr. II , U. Harris of Ogalalla
scorns to have the lead from this , the Flfty-
Jourth , district.
The populists will probably nominate J. G.
Peeler of Wallace for senator In this district.
Ho Is a popular man and has no recognized
Apposition as yet for the nomination.
For representative It Is expected that Daw-
ion county will name a favorite popullbt son.
< The democratic party Is rapidly losing Its
Organization In this county and there are no
Indications that any local democratic ticket
Will bo nominated. The populists are gainIng -
Ing strength by this democratic disintegra
tion , so It Is claimed , but republicans are
fonfldent In their ability to down the com-
Jjlrmtlon.
VALLEY COUNTY.
' . Politics very quiet and there Is very little
political talk batng Indulged In and but few
candidates.
The democratic party may bo said to be
non est. The postodice fight and the course
Of the administration has alienated the few
Ithoro were.
A strong effort will bo made by a few of
Iho stalwart republicans to secure a Majors
udlcgatlon , and , as no other candidate secrna
Jto bo popular here , they may succeed In
totting one.
Judge M. P. Klncald of O'Neill Is the
Jnoat popular candidate for congress and
. will almost certainly get the delegation
BOltd.
A. M. Robblns of Or < l Is a .candidate for
httorney general and as he Is an "out and
out" republican will get a strong repub
lican support. Ho Is a leading member of
, the Ord bar. Was for three years county
httorney of the county of Wheeler when
Its territory Included what Is now Wheeler ,
aarflold and Loup counties. Was state sen
ator during the winters of 1SSG and 1SS7.
ffheso are the only political ofllccs he has
Jichl.
Jichl.B. J. Clements , who , with A. M , Robblns ,
( divides the leadership of the Ord bar , will
most likely bo the republican candidate for
Iho state legislature. The only political
Dfllco ho has held Is that of county attorney
of Valley county for four years.
With regard to the populists , Henry F.
Rhodes Is the only candidate mentioned ,
flo Is said to be working for a nomination
on the state ticket , cither that of auditor
or secretary of state. It Is believed thst ,
falling of that , he will be renomlnated for
the legislature. Valley county Is strongly
populist and the prospects are It will remain
eo for some time to come.
i DODGE COUNTY.
J 'As senatorial candidates In the Tenth dis
trict Dodge county wilt probably present the
lames of Trovoyon L. Mathews and John
Thomson In conventjon , Mathews Is an ac-
: lvo republican and a fluent speaker , has
served one- term In the Illinois house of rcp-
esentatlves. Thomson Is the present In-
mmbcnt and as a straight line democrat has
icrved several times as treasurer of this
: lty. Neither of them will make all effort
Jor. the nomination , but should either bo
nominated ho will make a vigorous effort
tor nn election and both will draw the full
itrongth of their respective parties.
E. C. llurns of Scrlbner. W. IX Haldbrook
, nd Alexander Tunberg of Hooper with Earn-
ist Kern of North Hcnd are spoken of as
opublican candidate for the assembly , and
ilther of them have the qualifications for an
nllmmllal member.
William M. Maupln , editor of the North
Xlcnd Republican , has the assurance of many
friends that he possesses the proper < iuall-
Ucatlons for secretary of state and will bo
kind of any assistance In securing the nomi
nation ,
MacColI , Majors , Crounse and A. n. Cady
kach have their friends as gubernatorial can-
Uldates , but the test for delegates will bo
between MacColI and Majors , with the odds
In favor of MacColI , while the Cronnso and
Cady man hope to pick up what crumbs may
fall while MacColI and Majors are shaking
the basket ,
ROCK COUNTY.
AVe have for legislative- ticket , republican ,

Don't think the democrats will have n mnn

in my knowledge. As near as can be as-
tortalnod here Majors Is In the lead hero for
rover nor.
GOSPBR COUNTY.
No candidates In this county for cither
the state or legislative tickets. Delegates
Will bo for MacColI for governor , 1'opullsts
and democrats do not seem to hava a choice.
MANNER COUNTY.
This county has no candidate for places
on either the IcgUlatlva or state tickets.
For governor Jack MacColI Is the favorite
nnd will receive Ilnnner county's vote unless
another candidate enters the race farther
For congressman cpnUinont'ls divided bp-
twccn lluynor of Cheyonue and Daushorty of
Keith. .
SALINE COUNTY.
As yet none of the parly county conven
tions have been called , but there will bo
no lack of candidates tor legislative honors
\rhcn the time comes. On the republican
Ida It U understood that Senator J. D.
Tope and Representatives J. N. VanDuyn
ami William Kaup ore not nvcrsa to a re-
nomination. Among other aspirants whose
names are being discussed by their friends
ro 1) . T. Dr ko and W. O. Clmpman of

ti. O. Westcott of Swanton , F. W. M > te of
ttJoWltt , with W. II. Stalcy and W. II. Lea-
coclc ot DeWitt , for the nomination for
the float district , Saline and Qage.
For governor , MacOoll has eome friends ,

county will favor MaJ'ir ' *

those ot II. L. Mclntyre of Friend , T. C.

Hamey of WHbor , for representatives.
The nominees , whichever they be , expect
to secure the endorsement of the demo-pop
or Ilryan wing of the democrats , and will
bo first , last and nil the time for Uryan for
governor , United Stales senator , president ,
road supervisor or anything else. On the
democrntlo side the names ot Mayor Wil
liam liurkc of Friend for nunalor and J. R.
Holllngworlh of DsWItt and Sidney II ,
Smith of Crete nro the only ones mentioned.
NEMAHA COUNTY.
Politically speaking , Ncmaha county Is
very quiet. The republicans have called
their convention for the election of dele
gates to the state and congrejslonal conven
tions und for the nomination ot a legislative
ticket for the 11th of August , but neither
the democrats nor the populists have called
theirs. The democrats and populists will
probably fuse and give to the voters of this
counly a demo-pop legislative Ucket with
"Ilryan for senator" as their watchword.
It this Is done , and party lines are closely
drawn , tlio republicans will nave .a hard
fight on hand.
This county Is entitled to two representa
tives In the legislature , ana this county
and Johnson county together are entitled
to one state senator and one representa
tive , and If past Usages arc followed , John
son county will take the senator and Nc
maha county the representative this year.
This will give this county three representa-
llvcs and no senator In the legislature next
winter.
The names of Dr. S. W. McGrow , Thomas
J. Crummel , John H. Pohlman , and M. C.
Shurtllff are mentioned as candidates for
representatives on the republican ticket ,
whllo no one has yet declared hJmself on
the democratic or populist side for that
ofllce.
It is conceded that a solid delegation will
bo chosen favoring Colonel Thomas J.
Majors for governor on the republican ticket ,
and llarney Johnson would be more than
pleased It the populists would choose him
for their standard bearer , and he will prob
ably name the delegates to their stale con-
venllon.
The career ot Colonel Majors Is too
well known to need comment. Barney
Johnson came to this county from Missouri
In an early day , and up to the time of the
populist movement was an old line demo
crat. Ho was a member of the legislature
In 1S93 and acquitted hlmselt with a good
deal of credit , being elected as a populist , by
the aid of democratic votes.
BUFFALO COUNTY.
The Buffalo county republican delegate-
convenlion for the purpose of electing dele
gates to the congressional and state conven
tions will be held In Kearney on Saturday ,
July 28. There will be 113 delegates en-
f tied to seats.
So far the fire under the political pot In
Buffalo county lias been burning very low ,
but the1 Indications are that It will get hot
enough before the campaign Is over wllh.
The popullals claim that the county belongs
to them and that they have It solid , while
on the other hand the republicans believe
that with an earnest , organized and har
monious effort on their part they can elect
every man on their ticket.
There has been but very little talk so far
from any source concerning probable candi
dates. The populists will umloubledly again
put up A. J. Scott of Divide township , who
represenled them In the legislature two
years ago and served them satisfactorily.
Ho has already consented to be a candidate
and lhal means ho will undoubtedly get Hie
nomination. On the republican side George
E. Ford has beea prominently mentioned
and he would not throw the nomination
over his shoulder If It was given him , but
ho Is not going to sacrifice harmony among
the ranks for the sake of securing It.
The friends of Rico Eaton are urging him
to make a race for , the office of secretary
of 4'ate on the lepubllcsn ticket , but so
far Mr. Eaton has not given them any en
couragement , . Should he decide to go Into
i convention there will be no question as to
whcro the delegates from this county will
stand. He will get their undivided vote.
Mr. Eaton has lived In this county for a
great many years ; -was appointed postmasler
under President Harrison and filled the
ofllco with credit and honor to himself and
satisfaction to Iho public.
Moses II. Sydenham , the oldest setller In
tills part of the country , has a congressional
bso In his bonnet , and would imke an hon
est , efficient officer , but Matt Dougherty
seems to have the preference among republi
cans In this county at present , and. will
undoub'tcdly gel the delegat.on or at least
bo well represented.
For governor this county Is apparently
solid for the hero at Lexington and will go
Into convenlion wllh the cry , "We are all
for Jack MacColI. " That "there must bo a
western man for governor" Is all the talk
hero now , and lhal will be necessary lo en-
Ihusu and harmonize oil the factions.
The democrats have so far made no attempt -
tempt to put up a ticket or a man for any
position. They will undoubtedly Iry to
squeeze one In somewhere on a fusion com
bine , and , In that case , W. D. Oldham will
try to come In for a good slice of the pie
as a reward for his generalship In conductIng -
Ing the counly campalmi lasl fall when T.
J. Scoll was elected register of desds. The
populists , however , do not seem to bo very
anxious for fusion this fall and will not
let the democrats come In under the canvas
If they can help It. Time alone can tell
what the result w'll be.
NUCKOLLS COUNTY.
The two men most frequently mentioned
ns candldalcs for the legislature ( lower
house ) are George L. Day of Superior and J.
Warren Kolfer of Bostwtck. Mr. Day has
been a member of the state central commit
ted from tills district and Is personally popu
lar throughout the county. J. Warren
Kulfer , jr. . Is a son ot lite father , who was
at one time congressman from Springfield ,
O. , and was speaker of the national house
of representatives. Mr. Kolfer Is proprietor
of a largo ranch In this county , Is a man
of ability and a slrong parly man.
On Iho populist llckel David Guthrlo of
Superior can undoubtedly have the nomina
tion It ho wishes It. Mr. Guthrlc Is mayor
ot Superior and Is personally popular. The
general Impression among populists seems to
bo that with Mr. Guthrle on their Ucket he
can draw enough democratic support to them
to carry the counly. Mr. Gulhrle has been
a lite lung democrat , but the populists cialin
his ( dens on finance are- acceptable to them
and ho would doubtless support Mr , Bryan
for senator.
The republican delegation from this county
to the state convention will go unlnstructed
nnd will probably be divided between Majors
und MacColI ,
The populist delegation to their state con
vention will probauly bo In favor of Mr.
Gnftln for governor. There was .considerable
talk ot Mr. Bryan , but his candidacy docs
not seem to meet with any greal favor with
the middle of the- road pops. If Mr. Bryan
should come squarely out and declare him
self a populist he might get the support of
this county In Iho populist convention , but ho
will hardly get It unless ho does so.
W. O. Bradley , the county clerk of this
county , has been frequently mentioned as a
candidate on the populist ticket for the office -
fico ot state treasurer. Mr. Bradley Is a man
of education nnd ability , Is now tcrvlng his
second term as county clnrk of this county ,
Is personally popular nnd In the Iwo elec-
lion1 In which he Iris been a candidate has
proved himself stronger than his party. As
an ojllclnl hn Is etilclonl and painstaking and
lias given general ratlsfacllan , Mr. Bradley
Is about 4 $ years old and U a man of good
address. Ho was a democrat before the or
ganization of the populist party and the dem
ocrats of this county have always teemed
to entertain a warm , brotherly feeling for
him when ho has been a candidate on the
populist ticket.DAWES
DAWES COUNTY.
Dawas county agiln comes to the front
with Its usual number ot candidates for leg
islative Donors. T. A. Coffey of this city
is an avowed aspirant for the senate on
the republican Ucket. A. E. Sheldon , editor
ot the C In il roil Signal , n populist paper , U
also a candidate , wh le the present populist
senator from this district , II , G , Stewart
ot Crawford , will again be In the fight. Ni )
democrat has as yet got up sufficient coung ?

WASHINGTON , July 15. Private Secretary
Thurbcr has In his custody nt the white
house a gold pen sot In a silver holder. The
Inplemcnt , from the .artisan's standpoint , Is
a flno piece of work , but If It fulfills Us
mission It will never be dipped In ink but
once. That will be on Monday , July 1C , 1894 ,
and It will Inscribe the name of Drover
Cleveland on a parchment headed : "An act
to enable the people of Ulah lo form a con-
slllullon and state government. and to be
admitted to Iho union on an equal foaling
wllh the original states. "
Delegate Rawllns ot the territory of Utah ,
whose efforts were largely Instrumental In
bringing about the passage of the act , secured
the pen and holder and entrusted them Into
the keeping of Secretary Thurber until the
time for their use. Tomorrow Mr. Rawllns ,
having secured the signatures of Vice Presl-
dcnl Slovenson and Acting Speaker Rich
ardson to Ihe enabling acl , will carry II to
Ihe white house for the presidential auto
graph. The ceremony would have taken place
Saturday but for Air. Richardson's absanco
from the city , and It was hoped to have
Speaker Crisp's name on the document , but
Iho speaker will not return from Georgia In
time. No one doubts that the president will
sign the acl , and when ho has done so Mr.
Rawlins will take charge ot Iho pen which
has made it a law. At first It was Intended
to have a solid gold pen and holder , but as
Utah comes In as a bimetallic stale and the
westerners , who are makingIho sliver light
In politics , atlach some sentiment to the white
metal , silver was allowe.d lo share honors
at the accepted ratio. After the pen has done
Its work Mr. Rawllns will take possession
of It. It will be suitably engraved and en
shrined In the slate capital ot the new
state with Its oilier historical souvenirs.
WHAT REMAINS TO .BE DONE.
The signing of the act does not make
Utah a state , but merely sets In motion the
machinery by which she becomes one. De
cember of 1S95 will probably be Ihe time
when Utah will be entllled lo Iho forty-fifth
star In the ling. The constitutional conven
tion will meet next March to frame n late
constltullon , which will be submitted to Ihe
people for ratification at nn election in No
vember , 1SD5 , when the governor and other
state officers and a member of congress will
be elected. If the constltullon Is ratified
and If the president finds that It provides
for a republican form of government under
the provisions of the act of congress , he will
Issue a proclamation announcing the fact
and declaring Utah a state. The legisla
ture elected at the November election will
meet parly In December and one of Its acts
will be to choose two United Stales senalors.
It may be safely said the senior senator
Is likely to bo the present delegate from the
territory , whosefight forietatehood Is expected
to certainly receive recognition , If Ihe views
ot his congressional colleagues are shared
by his constituents.
The government pays the expenses of the
territorial convention , as It does of the terri
torial legislature. There will be a new r3g-
Islrallon of Iho volers , upon which Ihe ap
portionment of delegates lo constitute the
convenlion w'll be made. Each 'county Is to
have at least one delegate and one additional
for every 2.000 v population. First , the con-
venllonlsls declare on behalf of Ihe stale to
adopt the constitution of the United Stales.
Several Important requirements for Ihe stata
constitution are made by congress ; that it
shall be republican In form and mnkc no
dlstlncl'on ' in civil or polillcal rank on ac
count of race or color except as to Indians ,
who are not taxed ; thai It shall not be re
pugnant to the constllullon of Ihe United
Stales and the principles of Iho Dsclaralion
of Independence.
RELIGIOUS FREEDOM ASSURED.
Ono of Ihe mosl crucial requirement of
the stale constitution , which was evoked
by tha power of Ihe Mormon church , Is lhat
It shall provide by ord'nance , Irrevocable
without the consent of the United Stalls and
the people of the stale , that perfect tolera
tion ot religious sentiment shall bo secured
and that no Inhabitants of tlio slate shall
ever bo raolesled on account of their mode
of religious worship , provided thai poly
gamous or plural marriages are forever pro-
hlblled. The state is to disclaim all lille lethe
the unappropriated public lands and all In
dian tribes are to remain under the absolulo
Jurisdiction of the United States. However ,
the government concedes liberal grants of
lands to the state for public purposes. One
hundred sections are given for public buildIngs -
Ings at the capital ; 90,000 acres for an agri
cultural college ; two townships and 110.000
acres for tli2 University of Utah ; for Irrl-
gallon purposes , 500,000 acres ; for nn Insane
asylum , for a reform school , for a state
normal school and for an Institution for the
blind , each 10.000 acres ; and for a miners'
hospital. 50.000 acres.
The United Stales penitentiary near Sail
Lake Is given lo Ihe slale. All granled
lands are lo bo sold al public auction at not
less than ? 5 an acre , but the stale may
lease them for terms of five yearn. Ten
per cent of the proceeds of the sale of public
lands after the admission of the slate Is
to bo paid by the government to Iho slale
as a permanent fund for the support of the
common schools , of which Iho interest only
U available. It will be seen thai liberal
provisions are made for educational Institu
tions and charitable purposes , All , of Iho
educational Institutions are to remain under
the exclusive control of the state and no
part of the proceeds of the land
can ba used for the support of any sectarian
or denominational school. These are Ihe
principal provisions of the contract upon
which thu government of Die forty-four
existing fctntes admits to statehood tha state
of Utah. Her population Is now estimated
nt 225,000 and the proportion ot foreign born
Is less thar In thirteen ot the states.

firritlly on tliu Cunferciiru Itrport.
WASHINGTON. July 15. There Is no set
tled program for this week In the house.
Everything will be subject lo displacement
In favor ot the conference report on the tariff
bill , when one is agreed upon. The house
managers , in case a report Is made this
week , are not disposed to allow too much
tlmo lo ba consumed by debate , especlally.lt
an agreement is reported on Iho vital dif
ferences between the two houses. Though
the tlmo will be limited It Is the desire ot
Iho house manngers to glvo sufficient oppor
tunity for the leading house members to
place their positions squarely before the
country. The absence ot Speaker Crisp , who
Is expected on Tuesday , unless the condition
of his sun docs not Improve , makes tha bus
iness of the house pending the report from
the conference problematical. Tomorrow Is
suspension day and Tuesday will probably bo
given to the committee on judiciary. Fur
ther than that , however , no program has
been mapped out.
The only positive Indication for the week
In the senate is that the consideration of the
appropriation bills will be continued. There
Is a probability a day or two will be given
to the Chinese treaty and a possibility the'
tariff conference report will call for attention
In some shape. The taking up of the treaty
will depind upon whether the manager of
the appropriation bill will consent to yield
the tlmo for it nnd the further consideration
of the tariff question will depend upon
whether the conferees shall make their re
port , and incidentally upon the character ot
the report when mado.
Senator Gray , representing the Administra
tion , Is very anxious to hnvo the treaty dis
posed of nnd he has expressed the opinion
that It will bo possible to | ; ot It up Tuesday
or Wednesday. When considered It possibly
will consume nn entlrel day If nol more
time , -executive sesslod. Secretary Gresh-
nm does not conceal the concern ho feels
with regard to the treaty , nnd he has been
reinforced during the past week In his ef
forts to sccuro early nnd favorable consid
eration by the presence nnd arguments of
Minister Dcntsey , Who has visited the senate
on two or three different occasions on thai
behalf.
It Iho tariff conference report shall reach
the senate It will undoubtedly evoke con
siderable discussion If It should attempt to
lower Ihe rales or change any of Iho material
amendments of thesenate. .
When the senate adjourned Saturday the
executive and judicial appropriation bill was
under consideration. It Is expected when It
shall be disposed of , as It Is thought It will been
on Monday , the Indian appropriation bill will
be taken up , nnd with that out of the way ,
Iho agrlcullural , Dlslrlct of Columbia , sun
dry civil and general deficiency bills will be
considered , probably In the order named.
These will complete the list. It Is possible
there will bo more or less debate on all of
these bills , but If other question nro not al
lowed to Interfere , all liamed can bo dis
posed of during the week.

WASHINGTON. July 15. The operations
of the census office for the fiscal year endIng -
Ing Juno 30 , are reviewed in detail In the
annual report of Superintendent Wright. The
tolal disbursement on account of the
eleventh census to and Including June 30 ,
1894 , were $10,365,077 , This was expended
under different appropriations , as follows :
Expenses , elevenlh census , $3,475,1-19 ; farms ,
homes and mortgage statistics , $1,287,073 ,
and printing , engraving and binding , $603-
155. The tolal force receiving campensa-
llon at the end of the year was 072. . II
Is expecled Ihls number will bo reduced dur
ing Ihls year , so Ihe census work can be
completed ready for the printer under the
present appropriation. Small approprla-
lions , however , will bo necessary nt the
opening of congress In December for print
ing nnd binding the final results , and for
continuing a force 'of proof readers nnd
revisers. The total number of printed
pages of the census volume Is 22,290. Of
Ihls 19,440 pages of copy has been pre
pared and Iho rest will be finished during
the next few months and under available
appropriations.
In accordance with the act approved April
21 , 1S94 , an abstrct of the census has been
prepared , containing , however , only the re
sults so far reached. A previous act called
for a digest of Iho census , .which Colonel
Wright considers unnecessary , and he recom
mends that congress provide In some de
ficiency bill next Dece'raber for dropping
the digest and substituting for it a second
edition of the abstract- extending Its size
lo 300 pages and containing all essential
tolals , and comparing' thm with , the tenlh
census lotals. The report concludes : "In
accordance with an act of congress , I took
charge of the census -otUco October C , 1S93.
After examining the. condition of the eleventh
census , I reported ttrat"by June 30 , 1894 ,

approprlallons 'now available. In com-
plellng Ihe eleventh census the plan originally - '

NEW WHISKY TA SCHEME.
Five Cents I'or'fiallon n > Yrnr to Ho Added
Afterrivo Years.
(
WASHINGTON , July 15. The tariff con
ferees have had suggested to them a plan for
taxing whisky , one , of the largest revenue
producing Hems , which has not herclofore
been considered In cither the house or sen-
ale bills. It was 'proposed by one of Iho
senalors of Ihe conference and the sentiment
toward It wllliln Iho committee Is quite fa
vorable. The plan _ contemplales a sliding
scale , minimum lax 'being $1 per gallon on
whisky taken out of bond at the end of five
years nnd advancing five cents per gallon
for each year In bond beyond five years and
not exceeding eight years. On this basis

CHICAGO , July 15. The A. R. U. officials
have determined to make a desperate strug
gle to regain for Ibat order the prestige It
has lost In the great strlko now rapidly approaching
preaching a close. The cxecullve board of
Iho union held a meeting this morning , the
object ot which was to mop out n course for
the future. After a lenglhy discussion II
was decided lo send out "revivalists" to all
Important sections of the west. Six agitators
had been sent out Saturday nnd It was de
cided to augment this number.
"The names of Ihoso sent out Saturday
will not be given out , " said President Debate
to a reporlcr , "for fear of Ihelr being arrested
for Inciting a strike. " It was learned else
where , however , that this morning Dlreclor
Kern was sent to St. Louis to rally the
forces there. Hogan was sent out over the
Norlhern Pacific lo stir up -employes of
that company and Goodwin was sent over the
Northwestern to use his Influence with the
employes of that railway system and If pos
sible Induce them to go out. These dele
gates arc all membsrs of the executive board
of the union. Other emissaries were sent
out to work with the employes of the many
lines entering this city. After this meeting
adjourned nn enthuslasllc meeting was held
In Uhllch's hall , President Debs presiding.
Ho made a rousing speech , reminding one
of the early days of the strike.
"The strike. " said he , "Is now right now
more prosperous nnd more encouraging
limn ever before. We can and musi win.
The men who have gone back to work will
again come back to us and vlclory Is ours.
"Grand Chief Arthur of the engineers Is a
scab Jobber , and he' will go down In history
as a traitor to organized labor. He Instructs
his men to work with scabs and tells them
that scabbing Is honorable. Ho Is a tool In
the hands of Hie general managers. The
strike Is weaker In Chicago than elsewhere , "
continued Debs , "but It will grow stronger ,
Just as In the west It Is growing stronger
every" hour. "
Fifteen meetings were held In different
parts of the city during the afternoon and
evening , several of which were addressed by
Debs. He will tomorrow give out a state
ment In answer to the one made by Pull
man.
"Mr. Pullman's letter , " he said , In an In
terview this morning , "Is the silliest and
most foolish letler on such n subject that I
over saw , and I shall make such an answer
to It as will make him appear one of the
most despicable persons on eirlh. "
Mr. Debs said that several of his com-
t
mllleemcn had reported to him that the
Rock Island. Lake Shore , Eastern Illinois ,
Grand Trunk and Western Indiana men
would all bo out-.agaln lomorrow. Nothing
could bo learned o'ulslde to verify this asser
tion , however.
CLAIMS HE WILL YET. WIN.
President Debs visited the stack yards to
day and addressed a crowd of strikers , who
'have foVflTe tnoSt'parf falleH'to secure thefr
od : positions. Ho urged them lo continue
the strike , which , he dsclared , was never
nearer to victory than now. The men agreed
to stand by Dobo , but at Ihe same lime ex
pressed Ihemselves vlolenlly against the men
who have taken their places. The switch
men and englnemen were especially loud In
their protests against a surrender. The
butchers also had hitler words , all these
men having their Jobs filled the day before
by nonunion Imported men. The opinion was
expressed loudly that the war was only be
gun. During the day the district was plas
tered and covered wllh bids and posters
rending its follows :
The executive board of the Knights of
Labor do hereby advise all workmen to keen
away from the stock yards on Monday , as It"
Is the desire of all organized bodies that all
honest worklngmon should do so and wo
further condemn the action of the coopers
In returning to work as high-handed and
selfish , without asking concessions for the
laborers , and that all men found working In
the yards on Monday will forever bo branded
as enemies of organized labor.
BY ORDER OF THE COMMITTEE.
Thomas F. Healhcote , one of the leaders
of the Pullman strike commltleeT admits
that Iho strlkn , so far as the Pullman em
ployes are concerned , Is practically over.
According to his views , the men have been
literally slarvcd oul. The dlfterencas be
tween employes and employers , ho says , is
slight , a mere matter of rent. Mr. Heath-
cote was somewhat disheartened today as
ho spoke about the strike and the prospects.
"The men ( hero arei becoilng unman-
ageble. It takes all the leaders can do to
keep them In line. The people have no
money. I believe lliat not one-third of
the man have enough mousy to pack their
goods and move as far as Kensington. I ,
myself , have not a dollar In the house.
Those who had a little saved up have used
It up , and every day more and more are
coming to Ihe relief fund In order to keep
alive. "

CHICAGO , July 15. Archbishop Ireland ot
St. Paul being asked what ho had to say
upon the railway strike today , spoke as fol
lows : "I dislike to speak of the Chicago
strikes because , In EO doing , I shall blame
labor , while because of my deep sympathy
wllh It , I should wish to have never but
words ot praise for it. Yet , In a momentous
social crisis , such as the one through which
wo are passing , it is n duty to speak loud
and to make avowal of the Irnlhs and prin
ciples which will save society and uphold
justice , and I am glad of the opportunity
which a representative of the Asosclated
press affords mo. The fatal mistake which
has been made In connection with this
strike Is that property has been de&lroycd ,
the llberly of clllzens interfered wllh , human -
man lives put in danger , social order men
aced , the Institutions and freedom ot the
country put In most serious Jeopardy. The
minute such things happen , nil possible ques
tions as lo the rights .and grievances ot
labor must bo dropped out ot sight and all
efforts ot law abiding citizens and of public
olllclals made to servo In maintaining oredr
and guarding , at all costs , the public weal.
Labor must learn thnt however sacred Its
rights may be , there Is something above and
absolutely supreme social order and the
laws of public justice. There is no civil
crlmo as heldcous , as pregnant of evil ro-
eults as resistance lo law and the constitu
tional authority of the country. This resist
ance Is revolution ; it bcgts chaos ; It Is an
archy ; It disrupts the whole social fabric.
"Labor , too , must learn the lesson that the
liberty of the citizens Is to bo respected ,
Ono man has the right to cease from work ,
but ho has no right to drive others from
work. He who respecls nol the liberty of
others shows himself unworthy of his own
liberty and incapable ot citizenship In a free
country ,
"Riots and mob rule , such us has occurred
in Chicago , do Immense harm to the cause ot
labor and sets back Us advance whole decades -
cades of years. Labor thereby loses the
earnest sympathy of thousands of friends and
gives courage and triumph to Its enemies ,
"Worse yet , the principle of popular gov
ernment suffers. It U no wonder that , read
ing ot the occurrences In America , Eurojo
announces that the republic Is a failure and
that a strong monarchy only can hold so
ciety together.
"I am far from saying that labor has not
had Its grievances In America nor that re
dress must not be sought. I would not re
spect Iho laborer who socks not to enjoy nil
his right ? and to improve his condition. But
all this must be done within the lines of
social order nnd law. The remedy for the e
Ills Is a healthy public opinion nnd fair pub
lic legislation. And nil legitimate efforts In
these directions , wlulo by flngtc net or united
force are laudable. For my own part 1 be
lieve the largo number of men who Join
strikers nro more to be pitied than to bo
blamed. They are led on by nn Irresponsible
and tyrannous chlof. Labor unions have
greal statues , but one marked cvH In them ,
In that they put the liberties of tens ot thou
sands In the keeping of one man or of a
tew who bocnmo their absolute masters , their
despotic czars.
"The solution lo the differences between
capital nnd labsr Is nccfssarlly complex nnd
no one precise formula has been or can bo
found. A generous reuse of Justice toward
nil , deep love of ono's follows nnd attentive
listenings to the teachings of Christ will
lead on all sides to a better understanding
and to- happier mutual relations. Certain It
Is that so far as It is possible , the laborer
should not lack the means of support fur
himself and his family ; lie should not bo
overburdened cither In weight or time of
labor ; ho should bo treated as n rational and
a moral being , with all respect duo hh
human dignity. Ills remuneration , If dimin
ished In periods of depression , should In
crease In periods of prosperity ?
"Yes , I approve highly of President Cleve
land s course In the strike ; his prompt nctlon
brought state officers and strikers to their
sense and It Is certain tha In no fur as he
went ho did right with them. Mr. Cleve
land deserves well ot Iho nation ami'ot the
pcopla of Chicago In particular.

DENVER , July 10. Rev. Myron Reed de
livered an address before a larne meeting
held under the auspices of the A. R. U. , In
which declared that he was an' anarchist.
He continued by saying , "Jesus Christ was
not only an anarchist , but he was killed by
the representatives of the law , the church
and state , for daring lo practice humanity.
Jesus Christ was an anarchist and a socialist ,
but I never read of his being a deputy
sheriff. ( Cheers. ) Nothing has discouraged
me so much In the past few weeks ns to sec
so many men anxlous'lo lake a gun and offer
to go out and shoot their fellowmen for Iho
pittance ot $3 per day. I look at this effort
now being made by such men as Pullman as
an effort lo break up all organizations of
laboring men , so lhat they can deal with the
worklnpmen one by one and gradually gut
them down to pauperism and serdom.
-"I have been criticised for saying that any
man had the right to take his labor away
from any employer , but had not the right to
interfere with any other man for taking his
place. I say now that he has a right to In
terfere If ho docs It In a peaceable way. It
Is right and Just for every man to protect
his wages and his job. 1 also say that a
man who does not belong to a union and
slands ready lo lake anolher man's place al
less wages Is an enemy , a spy and an obstructer -
structor and ought In some peaceable way
to bo removed. "
He predicted that unless something was
speedily done for the laboring classes , this
country would be plunged Into one of the
greatest revolutions Ihe w'orld has ever
known.

NEW YORK , July 15. Rev.- Thomas
Dlxon , jr. , who finds a text for each Sunday's
sermon In the events of the preceding week ,
preached In association hall today on the
strike. "This greaT nprlsrng "bl tmT'loborlng
classes , which had cost the country $10,000-
000 and was likely to cost ? 5,000,000 more ,
had Its origin In a great injustice perpe
trated by somebody. It was Impossible to
imagine the laboring classes , after enduring
the miseries consequent on tlio depression of
Ihe past year , leaving their workshops unless
Ihero was injustices somewhere. Three les
sons , however , had ben learned by Iho slrlke :
Firsl , lhat the railroad managers were ut
terly Incapable of handling the railroads the
moment a strlko was precipitated. Second ,
that mob vloh-nc and disorder would under
no circumstances bo tolerated by the Ameri
can people. 'Third , that the national'govern
ment alone has the power to break such a
strlko and raise Ihe railroad blockade , from
which follows the logical conclusion the na-
Uonal government should own the railroads
of the country. The railroads , he said , were
built strictly for Iho accommodallon of Iho
public and neither labor leaders nor railroad
managers should have tha power nor be per
mitted to Interfere with the public rights.
If the national government owned the rail
roads , it would be high trason for anyone
to do such a thing.

ing that the strike was a decided success

Henry Welssman of Ihe Bakers union
blamed Dabs for calling Ihe Blrlke oft.
"When Debs declared Iho strike off , " ho

would have conferred wllh Ihe Federation
of Labor as well as the Knights of Labor ,
Instead of forming a partnership with Sever
eign. Sovereign assumed too much when he
said ho would call out 1,000,000 men In tliij
country , lie has not the power lo do It. "
Master Workman J. U. Archibald- said
that Debs conducted Iho strike admirably
until labor lent a helping hand by sending
leaders from New York and then , the strlko
went lo pieces. Meyer , Dauiiiff and Bar-
ondes hoped lhat tome of these leaders would
be called to account for their action.

nothing less than an attempt to enlist nil
the members of tliat organization with llio
leading ilenoinlnatloif.il boards In a wldo-
rciiehlng anil thorough campaign to arouse
the missionary spirit among all Christians ,
It Is a missionary extension movement sim
ilar to university extension , The plan was
evolved by Stephen L. Mcrshon , u Chicago
business man , who became Interested In the

Idea was to have the various boards unlto
In securing good lecturers to speak In
various places upon missionary work and
thus arouse Interest among the people. Mr.

his plan by the society. For two days ho
was In conference here with representatives
of all the denominational missionary boards.
A meeting was finally held with the En-
dr.ivor trustees and the following resolu
tion was adopted by the trustees : *

Society of Christian Endeavor grant to the
Christian Endeavor missionary extension
course their approval and endorsement as a
wise and economical method of arousing In
the young people on Interest In life mission
ary uorlc of the Church of Christ and that
the United Society of Christian Endeavor 'hid
In this by advising their state and local or
ganizations to avail themselves of the plans
of the Christian Endeavor missionary course.
Mr. Mcrshon explained his plan at the tent
meeting this afternoon and succeeded In
arousing much enthusiasm. He said 5,000
