A BIG THINC FOR CHEYENNE.
It Secures the T.ocalion of Union Baclfio
Kcpaiv Shops.
Cheyenne ( Wyo. ) special : Eor some
months representatives of the Cheyenne
board of trade have been negotiating
with the Union Pacific officials with a
view to securing the location at Chey
enne of the car and machine shops of
that company. A consummation of
these negotiations was reached last night
at midnight when the Cheyenne city
council ( formally accepted a proposition
in . the form of a contract submitted by
the railroad company. By the terms of
contract ( the city gets the location here "
of ; the general shops of the company ,
Buildings covering 100,000 square feet
will be erected during the present year
at a cost of $500,000 , work to be comvi
menced within thirty da's. The city
gets ' free freight for materials needed
in building extensions to tho presu
ent s\'stem of water works ,
and also secures from the compi
pany at a nominal figure160 acres of
land for a reservoir. On the part of the
citj" , portions of twenly-niuo streets in
the : district to bo occupied by the shops
are to be abandoned to the use of the
company. Yiaducts , costing 660,000 , Sf
are to be built across the railroad trades m
on three streets , and free water is to bo or
furnished by the city for the shops and ri
locomotives of the company. jz
The propositions were first submitted sj
tc the board of trade
by its president , p.
ex-Governor Warren , and by that body
presented to the city council , with a reccj
ommendation that they bo accepted , jj
The council approved and adopted the
,
propositions unanimously , and directed >
1
that proper ordinancesbe drawn to carry to
them into execution. The benefit to
Cheyenne will bo incalculable. At the jQ m
start 300 to 450 mechanics and their fam- at
ilies will bo added to the population , and Bj.
upwards of a half million dollars ex
pended. < During the next four j-ears the ar
shops will be greatly enlarged , and will fE
ultimately employ l,0 0 to 1,308 men.

PERFECTLY WILLING TO BE KILLED.
What Zucy Parsons Says Concerning the
Meeting She Was Hot Allowed to JUold.
, Chicago special : A reporter called on
Mrs. Lucy Parsons at her homo this
evening to see what she thought of the
prohibition of tho meeting at which she
was to have spoken last night :
"There was nothing so terrible in the
,
lecture I was going to deliver , " she said.
"I delivered it in London , and just be-
fore coming here , I gavo it to a large
audience in Cooper Union , New York.
There ; was nothing specially personal for
mo to object to at the action of the potl
lice last night. I was there only on the
invitation of the assembly , and on them
the ] wrong was perpetrated. They
should have done what I told them there
ought to have been done. The captainp
in command told me his orders wero to
prevent the meeting , and of course no
blame can bo attached to him ; but the
men who came to that meeting
should ] have held it. They should
have thrown themselves against that
door , broken it open , and entered that
hall , cost what it might. Trouble ? Of
course ( there would be trouble. Half a
dozen or so would probably have been
killed ] by the police , and I was perfectly
willing to bo one of the number. Some
of us would have been killed , but we
would have emphasized our claim to the
privilege of free speech , and free assem-
blage , in a way that would not have
been forgotten. When those men va-
cated that stairway and meekly obeyed
the command of tho police , they forV
feited , as I told them , the right of free
assemblage { anywhere. Tho men who
boarded the British ship in Boston barf
bor and threw the tea overboard , took
all ] the chances of being killed , and they
attacked * , and destroyed private propF
erty. But to-day thoy aro heroes. "
Mrs. Parsons spoke of tho possibility
0j a dozen men being killed , and herself
also , without an extra vibration in her
tone.
"America , it seems to me , " she cona
tinned , after a moment's pause , "has
fallen into an economic and political
slavey , from which it will bo difficnlt
tc rescue it. We do not blame tho
police < so much for their persecution of
us ! , as we blame the men who aro back
of ; them the rich , who value their
property : more than human life , or hu91
man welfare , or human advancement.

THE ECLIPSE ON THE PACIFIC COAST.
The Tieios Taken hy Prof. Picltering of
Harvard University.
. San Francisco dispatch : Prof. Pickerfa
ing , of Harvard university , telegraphed
from Willows that the sun was perfectly
clear during the totality of the eclipse.
Over fifty photographs wero secured.
The , party consisted of four observers
from . Harvard and twenty-nine local asw
sistants. Fourteen telescopes and cam- *
eras were employed and eight spectrogj
scopes , besides miscellaneous apparatus ,
The first contact was lost through the
clouds. Eight negatives were secured
with the thirteen-inch telescope , giving
images two inches in diameter before
enlargement. Seven observations were
made with a photometro measure. The
general < illuminations during tho totality
were found lighter than tho eclipses of
1878 and 1886. The corona was similar
to those of 1868 and 1878 , but showed
much . more detail than the latter. It
was an exceptionally fine carona , extc
tending usually on one side to two solar
diameters. A striking characteristic
,
was two-forked wings of light. The
solar raj's were well-defined and consid
erably shorter. The meteorlogical obci
servations were under the direction of
Winslow Upton , of Providence , R. I. , tl
and A. L. Botch , of the Blue Hill obsi
servatory. The photography and specsi
troscope Avere under the direction of
Prof. A. W. Pickering , of Harvard coloi
lege. The party was assisted by S. Bagni
ley , E. S. King and Robert Black of d
Harvard.
At Cloverdale the eclipse was obli
served with great accuracy b3r the Papi
cific coast amateur photographic assotl
ciation. ; A party of observers from w
Carlton college , Northfield , Minn. , con
sisting of Professors Payne , Pearson
and Wilson , were located on an openn
plat on the famous ranch of General di
John Bidwell. The party used a six- y
inch photograph telescope and other g
photographic apparatus and a two-inch In
zenith telescope. Professors Wilson and re
Pearson < exposed nine plates during tho it
period of totality and six between the si
first and last contact observations. jn
At San Jose observations wero taken cc
* the normal school observing party
and were veiy successful.
At Leipan , seventy miles north of ,
Reno * , Nevada , Gen. C. W. Irish , sur- . j
veyor general of Nevada , and a party

A BRIEF BUT POINTED ADDRESS
Made by Gov. Xhagrr on the Occasion of nit
Jnuitijiiriitloii.
Following is tho inaugural address of
Governor Thaj/er of Nebraska ou tho
occasion of his taking tho oath of office
for a second term :
With a full and grateful appreciation
of tho kindness of tho people of NoJJ
braska and of tho honor bestowed upon
, mo by my election a second timo to tho
office of executivo of tho stato , I have
appeared hero in 3our presence to tako
the ; oath of office prescribed by tho con-
stitution , and to givo assurance of a
faithful discharge of duty.
Government is formed for tho boncfit
and protection of all tho peoplo who
como within its jurisdiction. Tho apj
plication , purpose and source of governa
ment aro clearly described iu tho mempi
orablo and impressivo languago of Linw
coin : "A government of tho peoplo
and for tho people and b3'tho peoplo. "
Tho statesmen of the revolutionary
period seemed to have imbibed tho same
idea ( , for tho3' aimed to establish govdi
ernment upon a new principle , namely ,
upon tho recognition of tho people as
tho source of sovereign power. Thoy
proclaimed this principle in tho declaratc
tion of Independence , and thoy aimed
to < make it a living , tangible reality in
the government which thoy organized.
They overthrow tho time-honored dogg
ma which had como down through tho
: ages ; , that divinity hedges kingly sovp
ereignt3T . They swept awa > with a
ruthless hand tho old notions of rank ,
ro
of caste , of infallibility , and substituted
iu their stead tho broad , comprehensive
and only true philosophical princitl
plo of government , that sovereignt3" emp
enates from tho hearts and minds of
thoso ' who make and unmake thrones ,
and kingdoms , and who create princisj
palities , and powers , and republics.
They saw that in tho monarchial govli
ernment tho ruler is tho sovereign ,
They declared that in this country tho
ruled ' should bo the sovereigns , and tho
true theory of republican gvernment lias
been realized in this land. Tho peoplo
can ) only be deprived of this sovereignty
by their indifference and supiueness to
the insidious assaults mado against its
very foundations.
THE BALLOT.
Tho instrumentality by which the sov-
ereignty seeks expression is tho ballot.
By it a freeman's will is mado known.I
B3r it tho sovereign speaks. It should
be , as sacred as honor can make it. It
should , be as pure as the sunbeams. It
should be treasured as a I10I3' thing. No
polluted hands should ever la3r violence
upon it. It should over be guarded
with all the sacredness of a religious
faith.
. The intent of tho mechanic is illus
trated 1)3'tho wonderful mechanism his
genius has created. It works perfect '
without the variation of a hair. It ima
plicitly obe3's tho will of its sovereign
and creator. Tho machinery must bo
perfect J ! and without alloy. The purity
of the ballot is tho safety of the nation.el
In it rests tho permanence of our rere
publican , form of government. Defile
tho ballot and tho fountain source of
government ' is polluted and its efficacy
is destroyed. Tho mau who biys the
yote of another and the man who sells
n , are alike deserving universal public
reprobation and should be speedily
,
lodged for a long term of 3ears in tho
cells of a penitentiaiy , for the3r are unfit
to live Auth decent people. They are
public ' enemies. They have committed
a crime against tho state , a crime
against : government , a crime against so-
cietja crime against civil order , a
crime | against humanitIt is lament
able that in these latter days there aro
some who have come to regard the barpi
ter and sale of their votes as a legitiar
mate transaction as legitimate as the
baiter ' and sale of any commodity raised
91 the farm. The coining around of
the . annual election is their harvestv
time , and they look forward to it with
as much anticipation when they can
barter their votes for tho highest prices
blPi
paid in the election market as the farmpr
Piei
ei does for tho best time to sell his
wheat , corn or beef.
When a man is known to have bought
his way through to office once and apn
pears again as a candidate for public
favor and honor , tho naval and vile
gather > around him for their share of the
lucre , , as vultures gather around carion
for their share of the prey. Such a man
js teaching others to be corrupt. Ho is
corrupting < societ3He is committing
burglary of the ballot , though he works
with means different from those used by
the ordinary burglar. He should be rehi
garded with scorn and detestation. Ho
should be branded as an outcast among
men.
In tho late political campaign in this
stato there was discovered a degree of
venality < and corruption that was
astounding. It would seem that the bold a
scheme was planned of biding up almost
the whole state formone3" to corrupt the
voters < was sent into every count3r . The ie
attempted capture of the state b3' wholeen
sale pollution of the elective franchise
was tho boldest and the most dastard
scheme of political corruption ever atvn
tempted in this western land. But if sti
met with merited condemnation and the it.
great ; crime now stands exposed in all its ti
hideousness.
gi
The argument that the exposure of th
crimes against the ballot will prove an
injury to the city , town or state where
the3" : are committed is unworthy of con
sideration , save that it is a clear confes
sion of conscious guilt. The ferreting -
out of frauds and the punishment of tho *
offenders vindicates the honor of comce
mnnities and acquires for them confihe
dence ( and lespect. Nothing will conJe
duce more to the promotion of the pub-
lie * welfare , and to the prosperit .v and _ wa - ,
progress of a people than the knowledge *
that the laws are enforced and crimes of K
whatever nature are punished. * *
The declaration went forth on the 6th 1
ol November last that , though some otl
were found low enough in moral degra- by
dation to sell themselves aud their jy1'
votes , the vast mass of the people are the
governed < bthe highest sentiments of
honor and patriotism , and bej'ond theJ
reach of such pernicious influences , and ar
also makes it morally certain that the
such a crime will not again be attempted CJ
tho future ; at least for a long time tc y.n tiff
come.

KEGISTRr IiAW.
as
In my judgment a stringent registry ria
law is demanded for the preservation oi p
the , elective franchise and the protection eai
the rights of tho people who have
been . knighted with the highest honors
American citizenship. I therefore [
earnestly recommend the passage of
such a.law for cities of five thonsand or pvt
more inhabitants. If it be objected than
that it is attended with inconvenience , jjs
and that many business men will not - •
register , the answer is , no man who val-
ues citizenship and the blessings ol was
good government Avill hesitate to take h
the time and trouble to bo registered in atj
order to vote on election ilay , or to ac- tels
tend the pririfary elections. If he negq0
lects these essential duties , he fails to from
come up to a full measure ot a good cit-
were
izen. By this neglect plotters , schemam
and knaves reach positions of _ trust COI
and socura the control of public interthe
ests. This is true in cities where diswa
honest and corrupt men taking advanwni
tage of the indifference of the better 'ju
class to the importance of elections cold
manage to secure the election of dele-
gates who will be fit instruments in exe aU
cuting nefarious schemes. They seek t
those places for their own enrichment.

bo lot. Then it is that councilman and
contractors ofton corabino to rob thoir
honest constituents.
Tho latter thus becomo victims to
their own almost criminal folly. Tho
history of tho trials of boodling aldor-
mon in tho cities of Chicago and Now
York in tho last few j'ears show how tho
peoplo ; of cities aro plundered ; whilo
th'oy should also admonish tho evil doors
that { justice does not always slcop , that
though slow , it strikes at last. Somo
0110 has said that "justice moves with a
leaden foot but strikes with on iron
hand. j " Tho good peoplo of any com-
! muiiity J can prevent tho bad from ob-
tabling control if they will but tako
that } interest in public affairs which
titoir climes to society clomand ol tbom.
j would that somo powor existed which ,
by sounding tho noto of warning , could
awaken ; them to a consciousness of tho
pornicious and disastrous consequences
which must follow tho perversion of tho
elcctivo franchise. If all irood citizens
could < be inspired with a fixod and uua
alterable purposo of preserving and
maintaining tho purity of tho ballot , no
danger would threaten our froo institu
tions. But if tho integrity of that
great ; right of the citizen is assailed and
overthrown then thero is serious danger
tc a republican form of government. I
respectf 11II3 * urge that you roviso our
present election laws with tho purposo
Qi making their provisions moro strinf
gent , and effective in securing tho ob
jects in view , and to make it moro imt
peratively , the duty of the prosecuting
attornoy of each county to tako cog-
nizanco : of theso frauds and prosecute
the offenders to tho full extent of tho law.
If ) theso officers noglect their duties in
this respect they should bo im-
peached , and removed from office. I re-
gard , it as the duty of tho district judges
tc impress upon grand juries the neces
sity of investigating election frauds
whero thero is reasonable ground to bot
liove , that such frauds and corruption
have existed. If they aro not exposed
and the perpetrators punished , cities will
becomo tho prey of repeaters , votoa
buyers , , scheming contractors and bood-
ling ] j aldermen. It is time tlio decent cit
izens of municipalities and of all other
localities should unito with the authorisi
ties in putting down forever this gigantic
aud still increasing crime against all that
is good and valuable in government and
in > society. The good of all parties
should 1 make common cause against it.
I will suggest one penalty in addition to
fine ' and imprisonment , namely , perP
petual ( disfranchisement from voting or
holding ' • < office. An election law can be
framed so as avoid tho difficulty caused
b3' the decision of the supremo court in
the : case of tho state of Nebraska ex. rel.
R. D. Steams vs. R. R. Corner and
others.
After announcing their decision , tho
court makes the following suggestion :
"A registry law so far as it provides for
a registry of qualified electors to bo
made , aud which constitutes such regisv
tration one mode of proof of the elector's
right , and so far as it might require an
elector whose nnmo is not upon such
registiy , to make other reasonable proof
of his right to the judges of election at
tho time of offering his vote , would be
valid. "
With tho enforcement of such a law
and a relentless prosecution of the ofo.
fenders , aided 1 > 3 * the power and influ
ence . of a united public opinion , it is bes
lieved ( that this evil can be arrested and
suppressed.
Gentlemen , 3011 must either vindicate
the sacredness or integritj' of the ballot
01 you must be .silent witnesses to the
fuct that popular government becomes a
delusio 11.
COATiITIOjr OF EXTirMES\ :
Nearly akin to this subject of tho
pre-ervation of tho elective franchise
and as affecting public morals , though
not a subject of legislation , a most uuS
seemh' and extraordinary spectacle was
presented in the late canvass of thoso
who ! claim to be par excellence tho
champions of temperance and reform
being closely leagued with the liquor
interests of the state , in support of that
party which has heretofore been known
as the enem3r of that cause , prohibition ,
to which the champions were devoted
and which party in its platform de
nounced submission as almost a crime.
Shch an exhibition of moral lunacy ,
such a sacrifice of principle could not
fail to arrest public attention , especially
if it was true as has been charged the
democrats funds for tlio prohibition
candidates to make tho race.
This unnatural alliance has shaken
public confidence and weakened faith in
the professions of these reformers , and
has worked an injury to tho cause of
temperance , to true reform , and to pubsu
lit morality which j'ears cannot undo.
It is only one method of trafficking in
votes. It is oni3r one method of polhitQ
ing the ballot. It is to be hoped that Q
such a degrading spectacle may not
again be exposed to view in the present w
or coming generation.
I conclude , gentlemen , with the heartq m
iest ; assurance of my co-operation in tho
enactment of all legislation which shall fe m
promote the public interests , and with
the hope that the result of our labors „
will be satisfactory" to the people of tho
state. You have it inour power to save
. I ask 3ou to take the necessary ac- |
tion , and a waiting constituenc3' of a Bjj
great commonwealth will render to j-ou
their gratitude and praise. ec Qj

Tha Northern Pacific Tax Case. L1
. Jamestown ' ( Dak. ) dispatch : Juage g
Ross has delivered his opinion on the
celebrated Northern Pacific tax case
here. The particular cases on which the W
decision is made are the suits of the rail-
q
> companj against the treasurers of Rj
Foster and Lamonre counties in DaBi
kota , for a perpetual injunction against JJl
the J | sale of railroad lands for the taxes of
1887. The cases also decide about thirty )
other suits of the same character brought h
the Northern Pacific company re-
straining the sale of their lands in both qn
( indemnity belt and original land i > '
grant case along the road in Dakota. * rv
The amount involved is upwards of half Ap
million dollars. The decision is against Be
" railroad company and in favor of the Ca
counties. However , it gives the plainCa
ten da3s to amend tho complaints , To
it is probable that the case will go
the supreme court on the pleadings * *
they stand. The counties claim the Vi"
right to tax the land in addition to thep Hay
pro-rata J they receive under the gross jj0 -p
earnings law of the territory. jjo
