J. P. SQUIRE. NEXT Tuesday one week , is election day. THE people's convention did not pan out at all. It adjourned sine die. As usual , the railroads will bo out politics , this year , until about election day. THE Chicago strike is ended. The packers return to work under the 10 hour system. OF course Van Wyok will be the "people's preference for U. S. Senator. " His will be about the only votes cast. do in ago is in" is a very gen eral complaint in the fall campaign , according to the newspapers through out the state. OVER 500,000 people have died of cholera in . Corea during the present season. The average death rate is yet 1,000 per day. THE President has got a new parlor grand piano , and Mugwumps are breath lessly waiting to see whether he will invite Carl Schurz to play. "CousiN BEN FoL903i"gets the best ioreign Consulship in the list. The "cousin" ' business pays with this 'Jeffer- sonian simplicity1'administration. . POLITICS in the 5Gth representative district are boiling merrily eneugh to satisfy the most enthusiastic. The fight over the assemblyman is becoming most interestingly warm , while boodle and trade and dicker are not unknown in the canvass. I "OUR VAN" is kept busy these days working his "submission to the dear people" , dodge. The probabilities are that the people have taken Van's meas ure already , and that the matter of ap pealing to the popular vote is entirely unnecessary. IN 1883 the Courier considered and styled S. L. Green a ' 'drug store sa- loonist. " In 1SS6 he tries to make it appear that Mr. Green is a prohibi tionist. The fact is that S. L. Green is about as much of a prohibitionist , practically and theoretically , as Beelze bub is saintly. Just about , and a river of alleged prohibitory water can't make his whiskv record clean. ON account of the great rush of busi ness , and the fact that the new officers have not arrived to take charge , lleginter Laws , our next Secretary of State , has not been able to make any visits through out the state , during the campaign so far , as he confidently expected to do. It is a matter of regret to Mr. Laws that this unfortunate state of affairs has been beyond his power to change or rectify. Nevertheless , the boys will roll up a handsome majority for the Valley's can didate , just the same. AMONG the evils ? of the age are the ! over recurring difficulties between la bor and capital , the strikes and lock- ! out ? , with their train of misery , want' and woe , riots and bloodshed , destruc- . tion of property , business and indus trial stagnation , fear , uncertainty and coyness on the p.'irfc of capital , and the consequent withdrawal of wealth from the channels of all the activities of this busy world. That there is a.continual friction and strain in the relations between labor and capital , we need scarcely state , the difficulty in Chicago , as well as scores of other facts are plain evidences of that unhappy condi tion of things. That arbitration , ( that sovereign panacea for such a state of affairs. ) has for the most part failed to arbitrate is equally undeniable. That the troubles continue indicates the in sufficiency of the remedies or the incurability of the malady. But why this friction , this strain ? Is capital , ( which is conservative ever , ) too grasp ing and relentless in its acquisition of still greater worldly possessions , or is labor too unreasonable" and imperious in its demands ? Or is the blame a partnership affair ? That the prosper ity and happiness of the people is ham- j pered and retarded , that property and life are in hazard , that uncertainty and fear reigns perforce thereof in no small degree none den } ' . That a sure and speedy settlement of the labor ques tion is desirable , if not possible , will be readily acknowledged. There are at least two points to settle. First , the location of the responsibility for the malady. Second , the administration of the remedy. The far-reaching im portance of the case suggests the ne cessity of sagacity , wisdom , judgment , cool-headcdness , firmness and impar tiality in prescribing the specific. He who can satisfactorily solve the prob lem will be the benefactor of the age. The want and unhappiness that pre vails among the laboring classes , the silent spindles and unlighted furnaces demand its settlement and adjustment. Lubor is honorable in this "land of the free and home of the brave , " and the laborer is worthy of .his hire. While on the other hand , capital , genius , en terprise and ingenuity are just as es sential. As the hand is to the brain , so is labor to capital , and the sooner both recognize their mulual dependence the better it will be for them. J. P. LINDSAY , the nominee of the 30th Senatorial District , was a caller at our sanctum , Tuesday. Mr. Lindsay is formerly from the same county in Iowa that ye editor is , and we remem ber to have met him some three years ago at Oxford , where he had but re cently located. Soon after this he re moved to Beaver City , where he has since been engaged in the practice of law. Mr. Lindsay is a young man of pleasing address and of more than aver age ability. He bears a good reputa tion at his own home , which is the best recommend a man can have. The main point of interest to the people of Gospcr county regarding his eligibility is , is he a railroad tool ? That this question is truthfully answered in the negative , we can prove beyond a doubt , by stating what can be proven , that the heaviest kind of railroad influence was brought to bear on Mr. Lindsay to force him to withdraw from the race , but feeling that he had the sympathy of the farmers of his county , he declin ed to acquiesce , and is to-day the reg ular nominee of the party , and one in the election of whom , we believe neith er the people nor the railroads or other corporations will receive the plightest injury. In the support of J. P. Lind say we imagine we descry a point upon which the factional elements of the re publican party throughout the district will become a unit. To this end let all good republicans work and roll up a spanking majority for J. P. Lindsay and the straight republican ticket. Gosper County Citizen. JAY GOULD has come and gone. Of course he fell in love with Omaha. He always ( foes , just as he is in the habit of doing with every city where he wishes to make temporary friends for his latest road. Fie went into raptures over St. Louis , threw himself into hysterics of joy as he contemplated the future of Kansas City , and smiled in ecstacy as he discauted upon the marvelous prospects of the saline industry at Lincoln. By the time he arrived in Omaha he had swept over the whole gamut of emotions and had to begin again. Mr. Gould's compliments mean nothing , and they are taken for just what they are worth. Omaha Bee , THE surrender of the Knights of La bor in the strike against the Chicago packing house was a well advised mean- , ure , all things considered. It would ! have been a bad-send-off for the order , if during the session of its national con vention , a strike had been inaugurated that ended in disaster to many thousands of the members thereof. That the pack ing house strike could not succeed was apparent from the first. The prompt preparations made for defending the packing houses and yards and the new ' men employed from violence , and the rapidity with which the Iresh men came in to supply the places of the strikers , indicated that the strike was a mistake. Slaughtering , cutting up and packing hogs and cattle with the improved ma chinery of the period , is not skilled labor in the true sense of the term , and it takes but a short time comparatively to turn a green hand into a tolerably ex pert workman. The great demand for situations for unskilled labor at this season of the year is apparent and the best thing the strikers could do was to stop the demonstrations as soon as pos sible. The packing house men have voluntarily improved the wages for ten hours' work , meeting the strikers a part of the distance , if not quite half way. It is very likely that the move for eight hours will not stop here and that the controversy will reopen from time to time as the conditions appear more fa vorable. They certainly are not favor able just now and the strikers were butting against a stone wall. Journal. THE Burlington & Missouri construc tion train , when backing for dinner , Tuesday , ran upon a bull and was thrown off a bridge thirty feet high , one mile west of Dewcese station. The cars were mostly loaded with ties and were totally wrecked. There were fifty in the wreck , of whom five were killed and eleven wounded. The dead are : K. II. Marvin , Deweese. ( Jeorge Burke , St. Louis. Daniel Commr , Weston. Mo. Dennis Hamilton , Michigan. Kobert Collins , England. The wounded are : Thomas Kelley , Ottawa , Can. , internally injured , will die ; T. F. Gordon , Arcadia , 0. , flesh wound ; William Cutter , Germany , broken thigh ; John Edwards , Kansas City , leg broken ; Walter Ames , Aurora , leg and ankle broken ; Alex. Campbell , Dewcese , leg and wrist broken ; Chas. Clark , thigh and leg broken ; Ed. Fraza , Harlan , Iowa , head cut ; John Fitzger ald , slight bruise ; Owen Sharky , Kan sas City , arm and foot crushed. Sev eral others were wounded slightly. Re ports just in , state that two others were found under the wreck. THE demagogue who recently said that a workman is far better off in Rus sia than in America , should note a re cent cablegram , which says that hun dreds of women in St. Petersburg would be glad to accept work at 20 co pecks a day. Twenty copecks is about equal to 10 cents , and the purchasing power of 10 cents in St. Petersburg is not greater than that of 6 cents in Xew York. We are not all that we should be in America , but one strong indica tion that we shall be so , some time or other , is to be found in the fact that we are conscious of our imperfection. But , as compared with any other na tion , we are in a condition to arise and call ourselves blessed. IT is said that all the powers are threatening the Bulgarian assembly that has been chosen to re-elect a prince for their sovereign to succeed Alexander , with their dire displeasure if they happen to re-elect Alexander or any other man who hasn't been agreed upon beforehand by the signatory pow ers. The Bulgarian might be permit ted to ask the signatory powers what is the bloody use of asking them to elect anybody , if they are restricted in this way. ] t is the roaringest sort of a farce and the signatory powers ought to be ashamed of it. Lincoln State Journal. THE Louisville Courier Journal says : "Of the babies born in the white house not one appears to have gone there to live in its maturity. The babies des tined to live in the white house in their later years are born in cabins , cottages or houses of modest dimensions. " But why discuss babies , may the Greek ed itor ask ? THE contest in the 5Gth representa tive district promises to be the closest and most hotly fought one that hat- ever taken place in the district. Both candidates are canvassing their possi bilities thoroughly. Beggs' Cherry Cough Syrup Will relieve that C9iigh almost instantly and make expectoration easy.

Chicago Journal. ] I Parisian bakers excel all others in the quality of their bread and yet its pro cess of making seems todate almost from the timo when Abraham com manded Sarah , to knead fine meal , an I make cakes to give a morsel of bread to his three angel visitors. The bakers are the most inoffensive of citizens ; like the butchers , they will never be foun J to figure in political riots or revolutions. The baker's life passes away in silence ; ho works by night and sleeps by day. He is generally married , and his numerous family shows how he ignores Malthus. Ho leaves that philos opher to recruit his adepts among the wealthy. Being only passing rich , on 5 francs a day , he can not enjoy the liberality of the new college tariif , which allows the parent having live sons boarders in the establishment , the fifth to pay nothing. That resembles the assistance tendered in early days by the pawn- brokiuuj institutions which lent only to the rich. The baker is a living anatomy pale , thin , prematurely old. a martyr to rheumatism , and ever suffering from a graveyard cough. He works in a cel lar , from 7 in the evening tilli in the morning , almost naked aud between i\ \ current of air liowing from the street railings to the mouth of the fiery fur nace. The work is so severe that no lad is taken as an apprentice till between 1 or IS ; his life is worn out at 50 years. and I never heard of any insurau e o.Iico accepting bakers' lives for any risk. isten to the sigh , and note the head drop as he puddles at the dough. Each thud is a premature beat in his funenl march to the grave. A o wonder that in early Home , slaves , aye , and in chains too. were condemned "to the kncadin ? trough and Hour-mill as penal punish meat. In tho fourth cent ry in I'rance , so difficult was it to obtain men to make bread , that the master bakers estab lished publiu houses near their work shops to entice men inside , and when the visitors wore muddled they were dropped through a trap-door and m ido captive for life. It was a soldier who escaped divulged this Tour de Nesle. This may explain why the Romans in sisted that tho sons of bakers should be- coino bakers. TIio Meteoric Shnircr of 1832. Tor. TJ'T hev Cft 1 G "v-c-ai. ! It was a rain of fire , not stars. The stars , or sparks , not only occurred at the end ot tho lines of iire Imagine a rain of molten iron striking tho earth , each drop bursting into sparks. Moth- ing else will compare. I could not now describe it , if experience with foun dries and smith-shops had not afforded the comparison The iire fell in streams like the heaviest lire rain I ever wit nessed and swayoJ to and fro just as the water is by the motion of the clouds or wind The only stars I saw were just such as one sees when molten iron is running into or from the ladle , or when iron with a welding heat is with drawn from the forge , or such as seen when the liquid metal drops upon earth , or such as seen in the wake of an ex ploded rocket. The strangest feature to mo was no sparks or stars appeared except at the en 1 of tho line of lire rain , which stopped about live feet from the earth. as near as I can judge. Tho pia : za had three steps from the ground. I could not have been moro than thrco feet high , and the line of fire rain burst into sparks on a level with my eyes. Non-- that I saw struck the earth , but a tur sparkling on this lino disappeared , to be succeeded by others in juick succession I recollect distinctly o'usarving the scene around the yard , and tho road led di rectly from the gate , and wondering why none of tho tire or sparks reacho.l the earth. It was not as light as day. but a lurid light gres r than I hav. ever seen since. Ob.ects were perfect ! } ' discernible , though not so well as by daylight. Tho Fire G < 1 s [ Cincinnati CoivrereiU Gazette. ] Them is perhaps no excitement to which the average Xew Yorker is more susceptible than that which arises from a burning building. He will leave his business , his dinner , or any other occu pation which ho may be engaged in at tin time , to run to a fire , anil whether he has stopped to put on his hat or pck : up his coat will be with him an alter consideration. A fire engine drawn by a pair of infuriated steeds , tearing the arms out of tho sockets of the hat- less driver , with its sparks Hying and its gong beating , can draw in its wnke a perfect army of small boys and turn the mostpeaceful neighborhood at any hour of tue day or night into a perfect bedlam. A lire can gather together a bigger crowd in a shorter space of time and hold it longer than a political meeting. a brass band , or Barnum s circus. ' 1 he mere whisper of the word "tire" ' in a crowded hall or theatre will suffice to bring an audience to its feet at once , and will cause women to shriek and faint aud men to turn wiiite as their own shirt-fronts. ' 1 he wildest tempust at sea could scarcely give more alarm to tha passengers of an ocean steamer than tho information that the s ip was on fire. However great may be the excitement consequent upon a con : agration at the time , it soon dies away after th. : ca ise has been re moved , and it takes r.ut a few hours for the matter to be forgotten by all except those who have suiler-jd the loss.
