THE STRIKE IS STILL OH.
A Card from the Om:r of Lincoln
Typographical Union.
Tothe rrlendsof ths Worklnarmtn:
For some time past the Nebraska State
Journal hat Industriously circulated the
.report, by mill, by its agents, and even
by telegraph, that the strike of the print
ers against that paper had been settled
and that there was harmony now exist
ing between The Journal and the work
ingmenof Lincoln. 'We want to say to
our friends throughout the state that
such is not the case. The differences
between the State Journal company and
the printers have not been 'adjusted, nor
has the strike been declared off, nor will
it be. Oa the contrary, the fight against
The State Journal as a pronounced enemy
of labor will be prosecuted as vigorously
in the future as at any time in the past.
The attitude taken by The Journal on all
matters affecting the working people
makes this fight the concern not of the
Typographical union alone, but of every
labor organization in the state, and as
such it will bs fought out.
Friendly papers please copy,

HIS WEDDING PRESENT,
Barker came down to breakfast to
find the usual number of letters lytng
beside his plate. Long letters from
friends, short notes from slight ac
quaintances, tradesmen's bills and in
vitations mixed together indiscrimi
nately. He did not mind the bills,
though they reached him with re
markable frequency. He had plenty
of money with which to pay them at
any time, but somehow he hatd to
do it though the payment would not
have deprived him of a single luxury
for even a day. He was a thorn in
the side of the people with whom he
dealt, for they had to wait indefinitely
for their dues. Vet they did not like
to proceed to extreme measures if
they could avoid it for his custom
was extensive enough to be well
worth keeping, and they were sure of
being paid eventually. And they
know that Barker's check was as good
as greenbacks when they could
get it
Barker pioked up the last letter.
He knew, from the shape and from
the quality of the paper, that it was
an invitation. "Mr. and Mrs J. B
Smith request the pleasure, etc., etc
Barker seldom wasted time on the
clerks at Ifa nmett's; he usually
walked through the store to the little
o.tlce at the back, from which Ham
mett seldom issued except to attend
to some speoially honored customer.
Hammett was busy when he entered,
and Barker sat down to wait until
the other had finished the entries he
was making.
Good morning, Mr. Barker; we
haven't seen you for sone time,"
said the dealer as he closed tho book.
"It's partly your own fault, Ham.
mett," iaid i'arker. "You have fit
ted me out so completely that there
is hardly anything left to buy for my
self, and it has been rather an off
season for weddings."
".So it has, so it has," smiled Ham
mett. "I've noticed that mynelf,
even more than you have, probably.
But I suppose something has turned
up at last, since I see you here?"
"Yes. here it is," tOHsin? him the

"Oh, just a moment, Mr. Harketj,"
exclaimed the sllverMmlth." hastily,
"I am rather cramped Jut at pres
ent; could you make it convenient to
send me a check on account of your
bill some time scon? I hate to have
to ask you," he went on apologet
ically, "but during the last few
months I have had an unusually large
number of bills out, and they have
left tne very short"
"That's all rlarht,' Hamraott, of
course." leturned Barker, pleasant
ly. "How much do I ewe you?"
Hauimott named the amount.
"So much?" queried Burker. "I
had fancied it was leaf, but I suppose
a man always underestimates such
things. Well, I'll send you a check
In a few days; If I forget it just re
mind me again."
"Thank you, Mr. Barker; it will bo
a very great convenience to mo. You
would be surprised to learn how
much I have ut in that way, and
what straits I have been put to some
times of lato even for the means to
pay nfy workmen."
"It's too bud; people ought to pay
up more promptly. You should come
down on them if they don't"
"Loyou think soP" smiled the sil
versmith. "But you see, they would
be very likely to be angry and with
draw their cuHtom."
"No man of sense would do that,"
asserted i'arker. "You have a Hjrht
to the money, and no honent man
should feel insulted at tain; asked
civilly to pay his just debts."
"Well, some dny I'll cone down on
you," laughed Hammett, "and we
will see how you relish your own
prescription "
I'm not afraid of that." smiled
Barker, in return. "Hut if you do,
I'll promise to take the medicine like
a man."
Hammett was as good as hie word.

Various matters prevented I'arker
from calling at the Smith house until
the very day before the wedding.
People ought to have more consider
ation than to call at such a time;
but Barker was sufficiently intimate
at the Smiths' to know that he would
not bo in the way. or, if he should
be. that he would bo dismissed po
litely. Miss Mamie, though in the midst
of enthralling preparations, was de
lighted to see him. "Come upstairs."
she said, "and see all my presents.
I haven't pretended to count them,
but there are an astonishing number,
and they are just lovely. My feel
ings run away with me when I think
of all those beautiful things."
Barker went and duly admired th
display, keeping an eye 0on for
his own, which he not unreasonably
expected to see in the place of honor.
It was nowhere to be found.
"Hasn't Hammett sent mine yet?"
he attked, at length. "He promised
faithfully to have It done in plenty
of tlnio, and he has never dlnap
pointod me yet." '
Oh. yes," answered the girL "It
came several days ago, tnd was just
magnificent I don't know how to
thank you enough for It It was the
very pettiest thing of the whole lot
But" with a merry laugh, "a very
funny thing happered In connection
with it Yesterday the man who
brought It called again and asked to
be allowed to take it back to th
store. He said that it wasn't paid
for yet. and that Mr. , Hammett
badn't intended to let it go out of his
hands until it was paid for. It had
been sent up by mistake, the man
said. Of course we knew there had
boon some mistake, but we gav It to
the man, and no doubt it is still
thereat Hammett's, waiting until
your bill is settled," with another
laugh of enjoyment at the joke. "We
knew it wouldn't make any differ
ence, and we were sura It would turn
up again before to-morrow."
Th more Barker thought about It
the more his anger Increased; and by
the time he reached Hammett's place
be was ftilrly boiling over with rage.
"Look lioro, Hammett," he cried,
as he strodo into the little otllce,
what the devil do you mean by
sending up to Hmith's for my present
and with such a message, tooP"
"Good afternoon, Mr. barker," re
turned the dealer calmly, Has any
thing gone wrong?"
"Wrong!" Harkor was ready to
explode. "Didn't you send for that
present of mine and say it wasn't
paid for yetP"
"I bolleve-I did, Mr, Barker.
Wasn't the fact correctly stated?"
"Confound you, yes; but did you
think I was going to cheat you out of
your moneyS"'
Oh, not at all," answered the Jew
eler. "Nothing of the sort. I knew
perfectly well that you were perfect
ly good for a hundred times the
amount of your bill any time that
yen chose to draw a check for it. " He
opened a fat ledger. "Hut do you
happen to remember our last conver
sation' at ''the tlnrbyour ordor was
given P" i "V
"Perfectly. What about it?" '
"Woll, sir, you may remember
giving me soma advice about how to
treat some of my patrons who were
perfectly able to pay their bills."
"Yes, that is true," murmured
Barker, who was cooling rapidly.
But 1 didn't expect you to try it on
me, and you needn't have taken that
way of doing it, either, Hammett
Think what a position it puts me in."
"Don't let that trouble you for a
moment," said the jeweler quickly.
I can put that right in ten minutes.
I hated ta have to do such a thing,
but it really seemed the only way to
make you realize the state of affairs."
"If you can make it right, Ham
mett, I'll draw you a check on the
spot," rejoined Barker.
"Thunk you, sir; you shall see,"
said the jeweler. He called a ines
senger.and gave him some directions.
"You see, sir, I tell them it was all
a mistake of my own men, apologize
humbly, and take all the blame upon
my own nhoulders. No one could
imagine there wat anything behind
all that"
"No," said I'arker as he wrote out
the check, "I suppone not But I
have half a notion to deal with some
other man in future; some one who
ittn't loaded as dangerously as you
seem tole."
"1 hope not, sir," returned Ham
mett, as he pu the check away care
fully. "And I think you would not
find anyone who would arrange such
a matter more delicately or more
satisfactorily titan I have done tnls
one. For your own satisfaction, Mr.
Darker, and in my own justification,"
he went on seriously, "I will toll you

I wa reminded very forcibly of the
above quotation by reading an article lu
one of the morning paper not long ago
deriding labor organizations. The article
in question stated that labor unions were
the means of bringing men's ability down
to a dead level; allowing no man to do
better work than his fellow man, and es
tabllihing a measure of mediocrity which
was death to our skilled workmen, f rem
the very fact that a uniform scale of
wages gave to the Inferior workman the
same remuneration at hi mora skilled
brother laborer.
In combating this Idea let me here as
sert tbat no union establishes a rata of
pay which haa no variation. They say
to employers: "You shall not pay lea
than a certain sum for certain work," but
there is nothing to prevent tho employer
from paying more. The fact 1 that or
ganized labor has raised - th general
standard of labor without lowering the
Individual skill, snd will continue to do
so, for it gives men opportunities for In
terchange of Ideas tbat can be don jn no
other way. Labor unionists ar band
of brothers that ar Joined together for
common good, th education is on of the
aeentlal principle of all unions. It la
utterly Impnsslbl for ait men to bs equal
ly proficient la all thing. One might aa
well say that organization of any kind
establish a lower order of thought, if
labor unions establish a lower order of
skill or thought, what then about our
grest educational orgsoUathios f Do they
strive to attain a lower order ot ticalka
cv ! Ho on for a moment think so.
Then what ar unions but school for th
