Official County Paper.
The circulation of the Chicago Times
is climbing at the rate of several
thousand a day, and well it deserves.
The Times is the most fearless demo
cratic newspaper in America.
Mk. Debs' letters were promptly re
turned to him on instructions from
Attorney General Olcey. The wooden
headed deputy marshal who first con
fiscated them deserves severe punish
ment. Tn k oat and wheat crops in the west
have improved so much in the last
few weeks under the favorable con
di'ious of weather that have prevailed
as to astonish even the most san
guine. The Chapman forces had best be on
their guard, as Strode is making a
strong bid for the Cass county delega
tion. He wants to be second choice,
anyway, and if he gets the latter it will
be equivalent to a nomination. A unit
rule, like Strode worked up in Lan
caster, will fix Chapman all o. k. here
at home. Meanwhile the Strode peo
ple will bear plenty of watching.
In 1386 President Cleveland sent a
special message to congress recom
mending the appointment t-f a com
mission of labor consisting of three
persons, whose duties should be the
consideration and settlement, when
feasible, of all controversies between
labor and capital. Such a commission
could have accomplished good work
during the past three weeks.
An Iowa farmer who is up to snuff
on growing crops of corn and clover
gives it as his established conviction
that land will produce more corn in five
years if it is given over to clover two
seasons out of the five, than if run to
corn all five seasons. This is, no doubt,
pretty close to the truth in the case,
and it ought to set back-number far
mers to scratching their heads in the
interest of clover culture.
The national house has concurred in
the senate amendments to the house
bill conferring the dignity of statehood
upon Utah. The measure now only
awaits the president's signature to be
come a law, and it is not likely to be
refused or delayed . After many years
of probation the saints of Utah are now
in sight of the promised land. We
trust they will curb their matrimonial
exuberance and conform to the laws
and customs of the republic when the
boon of full citizenship is conferred
upon them.
The question of the water supply of
a great agricultural state like Ne
braska, says the Nebraska Farmer, is
one of the chief features of interest in
the course of the development of all its
latent resources. In the light of the
possibilities of irrigation Nebraska's
water supply has been, and is yet be
ing canvassed by and through every
known means for arriving at the true
status of things. Just what the ver
dict will be in the end it is quite out of
the way to anticipate. But is is com
ing to be somewhat generally believed
that the available water supply of the
state for irrigationand other purposes
is far beyond what it formerly was
supposed to be in extent.
A western Nebraska farmer writes
to the Louisville, Ky., Courier-Journal
that a great many people in that sec
tion of the country would immigrate to
the south if proper inducements were
offered. Information regarding the
southern states, as an agricultural reg
ion, is evidently hard to get in the
west, and the writer states that if any
one of some of the southern immigra
tion companies would take the matter
in hand and let the people know what
the south offers, great results would
follow. "The people here," says the
writer, "are all badly in debtand dis
couraged with the country, but they
don't know where to go to better their
condition. There are poor induce
ments in this country, too much dry
weather', hot winds and chinch bugs."
If it's warm weather the man objects
to, let him go south and catch it worse,
but if he wants to live in a state that
soon will lead the entire country in ag
reulture, he should stay right here.
CAPITAL. CORRESPONDENCE.
About the Late Strike.
Washington, D. C, July 13, ISiH.
An extra edition of one of the city
papers (the Star), issued at noon today,
announced that the great railway
strike had been declared off by Presi
dent Debs and his associates, and
Washington breathes easier than it has
for a week. When I say "Washing
ton" I mean the government officials,
from the president down, and includ
ing all the members of both houses of
congress. For while it lasted it was
unquestionably a time of troublous
ties for all honest and patriotic people,
whose first desire is for the promotion
of the good of their fellow men and the
permanent prosperity of popular gov
ernment. If we are to take the
declaration of independence as express
ing the real fundamental principles
aud the true object of government, we
are led to reverence the interests of
corporate capital less and those of the
individual man more. When we Bee
the arrogance and supreme indifference
of corporation kings to the welfare of
those who make their possessions
valuable, we are almost ready to be
lieve that the very existence of a cor
poration is incompatible i itb any form
of free government. Its sole object is
to make money or, in other words, to
accumulate property while the fathers
laid down the the theory that the great
object of government was the main
tenance of the fundamental rights of
man, which they declare to be that "all
men are created equal;" that they "are
endowed uy theik creator with cer
tain unalienable rights," and among
which are the right to "life, liberty and
the pursuit of happiness." And it is
declared that it i "to secure these
rights that governments are instituted
among men, deriving their just powers
from the consent of the governed." It
is, therefore, the "life" and "liberty"
of the individual citizen which are of
the first consideration in the formation
of government, and I infer that when
ever the accumulation of property "be
comes" such a mania that it is
"destructive of these ends," it is a
wrong which ought not to be en
couraged, contiuued or tolerated, and,
indeed, it can not be, with safety to
the liberty of any people. Indeed, this
basic principle of free government is
founded upon a higher than human
authority. We find it in the New
Testament (Matt. 7:12): "All things
whatsoever ye would that men should
do to you, do ye even so to them; for
this is the law and the prophets." This
does not mean that a few men shall
be placed by majesty and power of the
law into a position where they can
have the power to acquire the right or
ownership of most of the earnings of
the labor of the land, any more than it
means mob rule, riot, arson or anarchy.
It means, in common phraseology, the
greatest good to the greatest number.
In this connection it is well enough to
remember that almost all of the labor
troubles of this country have occurred
with corporations; not one strike in a
thousand ever took place where an in
dividual owned the concern. The
last public utterance of Horatio Sey
mour, the great New York democrat,
contained a most solemu warning to
his countrymen to beware of the over
weaning power of corporate greed,
which he believed to be the greatest
enemy to the perpetuity of free institu
tions in this country. The arrogant as
sumption of George M. Pullman in say
ing "I have nothing to arbitrate" gives
a slight inkling of the truth of Mr.
Seymour's warning words. To the
mind of sordid avarice, government was
formed for his exclusive use, and, like
Vanderbilt, he can say or thinks he
can "the people be d d," with per
fect indifference to the "consent" of
the masses. It is time to inquire is
this, as Lincoln said, "a government of
the people, by the people, for the peo
ple," or is that patriotic declaration a
mere sham ana delusion a living lie?
One is almost compelled to believe the
last proposition, when he sees a director
and stockholder in one of the chief
corporations recently combined against
labor at Chicago and the chief legal
advisor of the president, and that it
was upon his advice that the United
States troops were called into action.
If the chief object of government is not
to conserve the interests of corporate
wealth, what ia Mr. Olney in the
cabinet for? Law is the great con
servator of peace, and it ought to be of
justice; but lately one is inclined to
doubt it. But such as it is, we are in
duty bound to stand by it as far
preferable to the rule of the mob.
While Mr. Cleveland is the representa
tive of authoiity all loyal people must
stand by him whenever the public
peace is threatened, be it from what-
lever source, but it is to be seriously re
-;- -
gretted that he has no better discretion
in the choice of his advisors. I am
quite sure if he were au active attor
ney, and had a case in court for a client
Hgainst a corporation, he would not
deliberately choose as a juror a director
in that corporation thut is, if he ex
pected lo get a verdict for his client.
Under any rule of law or justice Mr.
Olney should never have accepted the
place he holds, because his acts were
Bure to be criticised and his motives
impugned, to say the least.
But happily the strike is virtually
over now, and sill is peace once more.

ChicaKO Times
The passage of the Wilson bill in the
senate would appear to have been in
considerable measure dependent upon
the votes of Messrs. Allen and Kyle,
populists. Had these gentlemen, who
were freely charged during the bill's
discussion with coquetting with the
sugar ring, but voted "no," it now
seems that the bill must have been de
feated. This would have come about
in all probability through thedefection
of Senators Blanchard aud Caffery,
democrats, of Louisiana, where natural
sugar affiliations would have moved
them to oppose the bill as amended had
they seen any possibility of securing
its defeat. As Kyle and Allen, popu
lists, stood staunchly and firmly by the
democratic majority, however, Caffery
and Blanchard, democrats, could do no
less. Had Kyle and Allen voted "no"
and they were under no party obliga
tions to do otherwise and been joined
by Blanchard and Caffery, the bill
would have been defeated by a vote of
37 to SC.
All of which goes to show that these
two populist senators, who were
elected by the co-operation of the sen
sible democrats in their states in spite
of the bitter opposition of the republi
cans and certain "straight party demo
crats,'' rendered the state and the
democratic party service when the op
portunity afforded, and to prove true
the Times' oft-repeated argument that
tor all practical purposes a populist is
as useful to the western democracy as
a dyed-in-the-wool democrat.
The democrats and populists in
South Dakota, Nebraska, Wyoming
and Montana have yet a chance to
make common cause for the forthcom
ing elections in line with the plan out
lined by the Times tor the elections in
Oregon and Kansas. The plan is
simple: Whenever a populist can
beat a republican by democratic aid
let that aid be given him, with the un
derstanding that wherever a democrat
can carry a county or a district with
the help of the populists they shall use
every endeavor to secure his election.
The wisdom of this offensive and de
fensive alliance between the democrats
and populists in states, districts or
counties having republican majorities
is made manifest in the loyal and
valuable service rendered by Senators
Allen and Kyle in this Wilson bill
crisis. Neither of them could have
been elected but for the votes of demo
crats, who were shrewd enough to f-ee
the wisdom of voting for a populist to
defeat a republican, and without their
aid the bill would almost certainly have
been defeated.
Representative John Allen, of
Mississippi, called on the president the
other day, and not in vain. The Wash
ington Post has the following gossip
about the interview, and events which
led to it: "Mr. Allen has captured
comparatively few of the good things
dispensed at the pie counter. As one
of the leaders against the repeal of the
Sherman act he unintentionally sub
jected h'mself to the displeasure of the
administration. While he has liberally
indorsed his constitutes for every office
from gauger to ambassador, the com
missions that have been issued from
the white house at Mr. Allen's request
have been gruesomely few so few, in
deed, that Mr. Allen can sum them up
in one figure representing a large
goose-egg.
"Like other men of wealth and in
fluence, Mr. Allen has his poor rela
tions. Hut, unlike most men of wealth
and inlluence. he does not turn them
down. One of them wanted to get an
appointment and appealed to Mr.
Allen to secure it for li.ru. Inasmuch
as he has been uniformly successful in
having his indorsements ignored, he
concluded it would do no harm to say a
good word for his worthy and emi
nently respectable relative. Going to
the white house one day last week he
shook hands with Mr. Cleveland.
"'Mr. President,' he said, 'you have
never appointed anybody I've asked
you to appoint, and I have asked you
to appoint a relative of mine; now let's
both break the record.'
" 'All right, John,' said the presi
dent, laughing, 'I'll make the appoint
ment.' "

The Chicago Herald yesterday con
tained a telegram from Omaha re
citing the fact that the !emocratic
state central committee had decided to
hold a late convention in this state in
order todefeat Mr. Bryan's nomination
for governor. This action of the com
mittee is directly in line with that
policy w hich has well nigh obliterated
the demociacy in this state. It is of
the species of sagacity that has distin
guished the Morton element of the
party. A sagacity characterized by de
feat and disaster, a sagacity distin
guished by its magnificent lack of re
sults, and it is a poMcy calculated to
drive democrats from the party, in
stead of making recruits. It is from
the east that this "master)" policy
has come, from the place where thede
mocracy of Nebraska is scoffed and
sneered at, and Euclid Martin, in his
continued refusal to call the commit
tee together, is but carrying out the
dictates of his masters. If there be
any manhood left in the state commit
tee, let its members sign a call and
meet without Mr. Martin. If the mem
bers are of the cuckoo brand they will
not do th;s, if not, the call will come.
George M. Pullman's explanation
is admirable and well calculated to
carry conviction with it but for one
thing it is founded upon a fundamen
tal untruth. If George will state
squarely how much he profited in re
pairing Pullman cars at the cut rates
of wages, as well as how much he lost
taking contracts to build freight cars
for less than co3t, the public will see
that his "attempts to keep his men at
work, even though he lost money,"
were quite remunerative in the end.
