Tim resolution passed at the union meeting of the local labor organizations last Wednesday evening is the beginning of a movement that will do much 'toward securing the defeat of K. I). Thompson as a candidate for United States senator, unless he can clear himself of the charges preferred and this we not think he will be able to do. The B. & M. is and has been a foe of or ganized labor, and Thompson is the 13. & M. candidate for senator, and if elected would be under obligations to that road. Labor organizations, and especially those pertaining to railways, are therefore perfectly justified in waging a contest against Thomp son. The resolution also cen sures Thompson for his attempt to secure fusion voles two years ago by the promise to espouse certain fusion principles, thus giving evidence of his willing ness to forsake his former politi cal beliefs for the honor and emoluments of a scat in the sen ate. In that aclJon Thompson is also entitled to strong censure, as it gives evidence of utter lack of fairness, honesty and integrity. The opposition of organized labor to Thompson will not be local, it will extend to every town in the state which has labor organi zations, and it is believed will develop much strength in Douglas county. Gho. D. Mkiki.hjoiin arrived at Lincoln from Washington the early part of this week and will at once begin active work in sup, port of his candidacy for United States senator. There is no (fucstion but that Mciklejohn's candidacy is growing in popular favor, and that if an expression of the republicans of the state could be secured he would be the choice of a large majority. A North Platte man who returned from the east part of the state a few days ago said he found jjMeiklejohn more favorably ! spoken of bv a greater number of people than any other candi date. This is true in the west . crn part of the state to even a greater extent. Mciklcjohn is young, very energetic, level headed and the acquaintance and influence he has gained at Wash ington as assistant secretary of war would give him a prestige over any of the other candidates in the Held. If the legislators ddsire to carrv out the wishes of a large majority of the republi cans of the state they will elect Mciklcjohn one of 'the two senators. J. A. Oi.ms, Jk.. representative elect from Valley county, evidently believes that he is to truly represent his constituents. He has published a card In all the local papers inviting his con stituents, regardless of party affiliations, to tell him what they want in the way of conservative legislation, and he promises to do all In his power to the end that something may be accom plished that will be of lasting benefit to the community. Okganjzhd labor closes the century in better trim than ever before, The trades unions have greater membership and more potent inlluencc than at any previous period in their history, While the wage schedules have been raised along almost the entire line.- Bee. A Nnv Yokk authority states that there arc 4,000 cases of small-pox in that city and the number of cases in the country between the Mississippi river and the Atlantic seaboard exceeds 25,000. Thus it appears that Nebraskans are not the only sufferers from the disease. SiNCuithas been demonstrated without the possibility of doubt that diphtheria was communi cated to children at Hartford, Conn., by a cat, there is need for extending the quarantine of in fected houses to the pet animals. The cat in the Hartford case was suffering from a cold, and an examination disclosed the germs of diphtheria in the matter taken from its throat. Lincoln Journal. A i .am isn't goes up from Cali fornia that it is impossible to buy the best home grown fruits and wines there, because the cream of the product Is all shipped away to eastern markets. A visitor from Kansas writes some thing to this effect, and the San Francisco Argonaut admits that 'it' would be comforting if one could say that the Kansas man is a liar, but he Is not. It is a melancholy faci that it is impos sible to find good fruit, fresh or dried, in California." What ' the seasoned congress man joyfully recognizes as "pork" turns up during the cur rent session of the federal legis lature in the guise of a stalwart river and harbor bill which carries an appropriation of about $60,000,000. This is not a record breaking figure, the maximum having been 1 cached in 1S()7 with a bill carrying over $72,000,000. Of the total appropriation about $23,000,000 is designed for new wot while over $37,000,000 is to provide for contracts on con tinuous work already autliGrizcd. The requirements of shippers and shipmasters for Improved harbors and waterways have vastly increased of late years, and public expenditure in this direction has been on a scale of corresponding magnitude. Philadelphia Record. Tun sales of American horses and mules abroad have been greater in 11)00 than in any other year in the country's history, and the end of the year is not bringing any "let-up" in the movement. .England is renew ing its heavy purchases on account of the revival of the fighting in South Africa. That quarter of the world is as much of a sink" for horses and mules these days as India and China have been and arc for gold and silver. The "mounts" which go into South Africa at present leave hope behind. They never come out alive, The exigencies of warfare in that country kill the quadrupeds very quickly. The mortality among horses on the Hritish side in the Boer war has been many limes greater than it has been among the men, large as this has been'.-Globe- Democrat.
