LINCOLN , Sept. 14. ( Bpeclal.-Tho ) larg- cot audlenco of the Week gathered this after noon In the big nwiombly tent on the Grand Army reunion grounds to hear the address of Areldtant Secretary of War Melklcjohn. On account of the parade no morning meetIng - Ing wn held today , but thin afternoon the blR tent , estimated to hold 8,000 people , was crowded long before the tlmo for the meetIng - Ing to open. Many people were unable to ecuro admission at all. Before Mr. Melklejohn was Introduced the Ord Military .band played a program of patri otic airs , and Miss Helen Wood ot Nebraska City , recently returned from the Philippine Islands , delivered an addrrea on the work of the lied Craw society In the Islands. Dr. Wood was one of the first sent as a nurse by the State Red Croea association. She is a woman of raUicr small stature , dark complexion , striking features and very at tractive personality. Her easy delivery , clear voice , splendid Kngllsh and intense enthusi asm In her subject all combined to make her a most charming speaker. In spite ot her tnodont avoidance of rofercnce to her own personal service and the trials and discom forts she tnuot have experienced , the careful obsarver could not help realizing what a ro- tnarkablo career this frail though bravo , woman had had. Her address , in part , fol- i Iowa : 1'rn.lno for Kcbrnnkn. Soldier * . "It la "With the greatest pleasure that I como before thin assembly , for If there ex ists ono body of men that I delight to honor above all others it la the First Nebraska regiment. Having been' ' reared , na most ot these men were , in the same state ; having wandered , as they did , into the same far away country , I roallfe , as no ono who has remained at home con do , what they have endnred , what they have suffered , worked lor , fought for , died for In the past year. "Havo you ever loft the country that hold father , mother , brothers , sisters , nweethearts , all that was most dear to you , and sailed out Into what ecemo'd the limitless blue of an unknown sea with a deep sot fear In your heart that you might never return ? If not , you will never know what these men felt when they sailed out of the Golden Gate , away from the cool western shore , of this continent , across the broad Pacific Into the tropic heat ot the China sea. "Havo you ever , with this oamo weight on your heart , boon called to bear It surrounded by an environment contrary In every par ticular to all your pre-established Ideas of comfort and enjoyment ? If not , you will never know what llfo on a government trans port for four long weeks meant to the en- llfltod men. Hayo you ever lived in a strange land , whore ofll you ate and drank and were differed unpleasantly from that to which you had been accustomed ftom your very cnlli- hood ? If not , you will never appreciate the extent of your daily comforts. "You have no idea how well fed you are , how well dressed , how pleasant are the con- ditlonfl under which you lie down at night and how rested you arise In the morning. Have you ever boon subjected to a dlsdpUne I that you recognize ao juv , necessary , inev- j itable , but that was , at the same tlmo , averse to your moot cherished ideas ot personal equality between man and man ? If not , you will never love as the American volunteer t henceforth will your absolute liberty in your intercourse with your fellow men. Fearful' ' Alincnoe of the ITiianl. "It la the fearful absence of the usual that fosters discontent , propagates profanity and engenders homesickness in the army. "It Is possible to Gurfelt one with novelty till he has a sort of heart dyspepsia , and the doctors call it nostalgia , and the latty know It aa homesickness. Every day home scenes nnd events are the bread and butter of the heart , and novelty cannot " take their place. Familiar discomforts" unimportant. A man would rather have hts nose and ears frcatcAln Nebraska than bo called upon to Burmount the difficulties of the Mariqutna road. This longing for the natural , for the usual , is omnipresent. "We women with the Red Cross reached ( Manila September 28 , 1898. Soldiers would follow us Into a store and , approaching apologetically , ask if wo were the Red Cross women and , we would pardon them for epeakjng , but they did so wont to ahako | bands with an American woman. "A gentleman whom I had met In the I States called. As I eat sowing I became conscious he was quietly watching me. Suddenly ho exclaimed : "It's the best thing that has happened for months just to sen a woman sew. " Another man taxed my credulity by telling me that he became - came et times so homesick for bis child that ho used to go around and stand in front of a Filipino hut by the hour to hear a Filipino baby cry. "I remember vary well the day a certain high official rushed into the ward and with the greatest exhibition of prldo and eelf- eattsfactlon presented me with one stick of chewing gum , the first that had been Ira- port * ! . Toward spring a firm bought a loda water fountain and nerved soda water with ice cream made from the St. Charles brand of the condensed article. We drank It , out of respect for Its name , and pre tended that wo thought It wan rood. Atone ono tlmo I was invited to dinner by fome Nebraska officers. We had fried chicken and gravy. Talk about oil on troubled wat er * , that gravy woa balm to my homesick eoul , aa well as Joy to my palate. I could h ve written poetry about that gravy. NuliriinkniiH Not CnxcniiH. "I am most fortunate to be able to speak today for many reasons. There is much that It BWUH to mo no one could sav quite eo appropriately aa I can , Those of the rnglment would appear simply braggarts If they did themselves , or their comra'lca , justice. The better the deed performed the leas nllllng Is the chlot actor to re port It , yet wo all love to have justice done us. "Thero were many of you who have watched each move made by thu regiment and you know It was foremost In tlic battle of August 13. During the first four months following August 13 the regiment ? as sta tioned In the most disagreeable dUtrlc'a of Manila. I called them at that rime my friends of 'the Dowery. ' There they per formed their duty so efficiently that those lums became as honest as England In Al fred's tlmo , I have heard others .wy that they allowed nobody but themselves to s't-al ' anything. But the Nebraska sick llt > t went up In proportion to the work do no. "H was here that I met some of them the flrst day of my coming to Manila. Jm- . 1ha Kind Vou Ha Always Boohl Have Always Boujlil 3 Klni1 YM Haw Always Bouchf p&tlcnt to catch a glimpse of the novel scenes I knew nnftltcd mo I left others to attend to the baggage and wandered oft Into the streets adjoining the captain ot the port's office. Behold ! I was no longer n Btrangcr In a ntrangc land , There I found American soldiers , with familiar 'Neb. ' on their coat collars. Soon I had a tittle crowd about mo , they telling mo how I WAS the first American woman they had seen 'or months , and I telling them how I had Lccn reared In Nebraska and how much i.uat same 'Neb/ meant to me. Couldn't Stnr Sick. "But the sick list continued to Increase , and out of consideration for this nnd the excellent work done the regiment was moved to Santa Mora , the beautiful campIng - Ing ground on the Paslg river. This com fort could not lost. They had come to Manila to fight , and soon there was fight ing for all , A Nebraska boy fired the first shot of the Insurrection. All night long that shot orhoed anil re-echoed through this suburb of Manila , up and down the Paslg river. From that tlmo on wherever the bullets were the thickest , thcro were the First Nebraska troops. In the hospital people would exclaim when wounded were brought In , 'Great heavens 1 moro No- braakans.1 Or 'More Nebraakons , will thcro bo any of them left1 "Wo of the hospital force saw them brought In day by day and the sympathy for them became strong. But they asked for no sympathy. They had como to flght , and flght they did. Soon came the news that Colonel Stotsonburg hod been killed. The night before I had seen and talked with hfcu , and the next day at noon I heard that ho was dead. "Few men will ever forget their ono trip In the little hospital launch up or down the river. And few of us women will ever forgot how wo listened for the three whistles that told us wounded were noarlng the hospital , or how bravely they bore their Buffering when there. ColonnlVoodhuH'i Viilue. "Colonel Wpodhull , who took charge of the medical department a few months ago , la certainly a good man In his place. Per haps I approve of him because he loves the scrubbing brush as I love It , and clean liness is the first requisite of a good hos pital. I saw In his early movements that he would bring about a satisfactory con dition In the diet for the sick and in the general order and cleanliness of the wards. Good hospital corps men of which there are many and earnest , trained nurses , who are working conscientiously will find In him , I think , an able overseer. "There is one point about which I wish to speak especially and about which I al- Tvays speak when opportunity offers. There should bo a large enough number ot good , trained nurses , eent to the Islands to do the skilled work required in the hospital there. No women should bo sent as nurses unless they have diplomas from good train ing schools , of well established hospitals In America. It is skilled labor In this line that Is required. And the wounded American soldier has a right to it. I have heard that the government has lately sent more women nurses , and I hope that this report Is true. There were certainly not a sufficient number when I left the islands in June. IIoHpltnl CorpH Men. "While speaking upon the subject of nurses I would say there bos an erroneous idea gene forth that all hospital corps men are useless , shiftless and lazy. I have known many men who worked as honestly and con scientiously as any woman nurse could , for the good of the patients under their care. Was young Ladller shiftless or lazy when ho gave his life on the field of battle for his wounded comrades ? I have been told that he did the work 'of three men. His name should go down with that of Colonel Stotsenburg , Captain Forby , Fred Pegler , Sergeant Cook and Captain Slssons , and many others , whom you all will forever honor , aa the Nebraska heroes ot the Filipino pine insurrection.

NEW HAVEN , Conn. , Sept. 14. Today's business session of the United Typothetao of America developed a heated discussion of too question Involving recognition ot union labor and before the hour ot ad- jurumcnt hnd arrived the Typothetno had gene on record as generally opposed to ofll- ctal recognition ot typographical unions. The discussion \vaa precipitated by the recommendation ot ono of the subcommit tees that the executive committee ot the Typothotao bo constituted arbitrators In case ot a dispute with a committee from the Typoffniphlcat union. A. 11 , Pugh of Cincinnati , O. , was the Qpst speaker to declare - clare against this resolution. Ho stated that ho wa a nonunion printer nnd opposed em phatically to recognition ot union labor no suggested. Ho claimed that the recom mendations of the committee constituted concessions to the labor union which were entirely unwarranted. Ex-Congressman J. J. Little of Now York favordo the resolution on the ground that It displayed only a spirit ot fairness. Mr. Little was followed by Robert J. Morgan ot Cincinnati , who strongly seconded the position ot Mr. Pugh. Other speakers ad- drosaod the convention and finally the reso lution was stricken out. Another resolution "discountenancing the use ot union label * " was adopted almost unanimously. fl CContlnued from First Page. ) need of the enforcement ot penalties which run against Individuals hiding behind trust organizations , as well as they do against Individuals who stand upon their own re- eponslblllty. "These nro simple remedies nnd the won der In not that they are needed , but that , being needed , they are not applied. The reason Is to bo found , I think , In a certain weakening of the moral flber of the Ameri can people , partly as a result ot the economic errors which have been Inculcated BO In dustriously and partly In response to the tireless propaganda of calumny and calam ity which has become. In a manner , a public disease , affecting Injuriously the enttro body of the people. This habit of complaint Is something moro than more discontent. Its existence Indicates quite clearly that the development of great financial energies In this country has been by a decided lose of tone on the part ot the people. "There Is not an unlawful combination In America today that does not owe Ha exist ence to some unfaithful representative of the people. There Is not ono that cannot bo destroyed In short order by an honest enforcement of the law. Those trusts or combinations against which the laws do not run arc no moro to be decried than any other manifestation of business enterprise. "The American republic needs a tonic of sound doctrine for the Instruction of youth and for the admonition of the aged , which will show that no abuse of power Is too deep-seated for correction. "One immediate and wholesome effect f of such a tonic would bo the Impartial enforce ment of wise laws against all offenders , and the repeal of obviously unwise laws , regard less of the protests of their beneflclarlee. No unlawful trust could stand for a day In the face of a public sentiment so actuated. " The convention then took a recess until 3 o'clock. Former Governor Foster of Ohio was the next speaker. He said : "Denounce trusts as we may they have come to stay. Why ? Because the gigantic business operations of the present and future - turo cannot be carried on without them. Through the trust the enormous waste that Is entailed on business operations by com petition Is saved. The product and the service performed are cheapened. Labor will have the better opportunity to enhance wages and shorten the hours of toll , as Is so signally illustrated in the railroad serv ice of the country. "When the trusts shall have been prop erly safeguarded by law their securities will furnish a means of safe investment at a somewhat higher rate of interest than will be paid by government , state and municipal bonds , thus affording an opportunity for In vestment by people of moderate means. "A bureau of government or a board simi lar to the Interstate Commerce commission should bo established , to whom all trusts shall apply for license after being Incor porated nnd to whom reports as required of national banks should be made. The terms of the license should provide against overcapitalization. "All profits beyond 6 per cent should bo taxed for the benefit ot the government. It seems to mo that it Is the duty of this conference to require congress to submit amendments to the constitution , giving it necessary power to control the trusts and tax their profits.

"It the withering blight of trusts Is to overshadow our free American Institutions , " naid Mr. Davis , "then , In ray Judgment , away with American liberty , American patriotism , and the good of American people ple , The trust Is but the ripened fruit ot misused tariff legislation , and the robbery of the pcoplo on the stiver question.
