It used to be said out west that
all "good Indians were dead Ind-
' ' republicans
dians. From appearances
licans believe the same of demo
crats. While John vAtgeld lived
republicans could say nothing too
mean against him. He was held
up by republican newspapers as a
"red handed anarchist , and all round
villian , but since his death those
traducers are willing to recognize
his great and good qualities , and
ll t the other day the republican legis
lature of the great state of Illinois
set aside' the anniversary of his
death , and eloquent eulogies were
pronounced upon his memory by
men of all political beliefs and 85000
was voted to his widow. Now if
Mr. Bryan wishes the eulogies of
the republican party he should die
and republicans would then not
only give him credit for honesty ,
integrity and pure life , but would
be so pleased that such a dangerous
opponent to their tricky schemes
was powerless to further expose
them that they would fairly canon
ise him. Such is republicanism of
to-day. York Democrat.

Court Xotes
I
The district court adjourned afc
tor nearly a three weeks session ,
This 1 has been the longest term of
court in the history of the county.
While litigation all over the state
seems to have materially decreased ,
in Cherry county , judging by the
amount of business at the present
term of court it has increased.
None of the litigation was of a tri
vial character and many of the cases
'
were of the utmost importance. In
t the criminal business transacted
there were two murder cases and
in each instance a conviction of
manslaughter was secured. This
is pointed out to the people of the
county as evidence that even this
far west in Nebraska , human life
may not be any longer taken with
impunity. The civil suits were
generally < controversies between
cattlemen over the sale of cattle
and wintering thereof , and , one'
very important insurance case in
volving many intricate questions
of law was disposed of. Judge
"Westover was to hold the present
term of court but owing to the
sickness in his family he exchanged
with his associate , Judge H rring-
ton , and held the term of court at
his home in Kushville where it was
intended Judge Harrington should
preside. The number of import
ant cases tried brought to Valen
tine several distinguished counsel
.
from outside the county and has
made this term of more than usual
interest and importance. The en
tire local bar and the visiting at
torneys as well as jurors and citi
zens ( all highly compliment Judge
Harrington for the fairness and
impartiality with which he has con
ducted the business and also for
his ] prompt method of disposing of
cases. Every case was tried that
the attorneys were prepared to try
and not a single criminal case was
continued except one and in that
case the offense was committed af
ter the court convened and the at
torneys had no time to prepare the
case as they were engaged in court.
The comment is quite general |
that the business of the district. ,
court is being kept right up , and
that cases are not allowe'd to 'dragt
along on the dockets for years/
This condition is very satisfactory
to the bar and to the people and
taxpayers and cattlemen in partic
ular are especially loud in their
praise of the judges for the prompt
method in which cattle rustlers and
in fact all classes of law breakers
are compelled to stand trial , and
for the justice meted out to them.
fcti fcA few years ago tliis whole coun
try was infested by rustlers to the
tiS
great detriment of the stock inter
ests < , which is the principle indus-
try in north-west Nebraska. The 'Ii I
present judges have sent terror to
the ? hearts of these midnight gentP'
lemen and the leaders have either I
,
been sentenced to the penitentiary
or : . have gone to new fields to oper-
ate. " \
Judge Harrington sentenced 1
John Green , who was found guilty .
of manslaughter for the killing of
Wm. Stover at Merriman , to ten
years at hard labor and on the an-
niversary of which he committed i
the crime , to a dungeon. In pas i
sing sentence he called attention
tc the fact that murder Avas the
.greatest crime in the category ex
cept treason and that a man's life j
was the dearest thing he had and \
that sentences imposed were not' 1 ' \ j D
sc much to punish the criminal as 1 "
set an example to others who } "
might be inclined to break the law.
few sentences of this kind will 01
cause those who are inclined to .
committ crime to pause and hesill1
tate before they do so ; it will have ti
tendency to deter lawlessness because - to
cause violators of law , when they jj
know that a speedy trial and a w
heavy sentence will be imposed
will think twice before they are so ft .
frqe to take human life or violate f1
law. V

\ Omaha Eustaces Men's Association *
j ! Corrocta a False Impression.
{ Oma'ja , June 9. An impresoion seems to
| b.ivo gone < > " * through various channels
tliKt the Business Men's association , recent
ly organized in Cnaha , Is bent oa crushing
out the labor unions of t.s ; ! city and is af-
Hllitel in some way with a national body
similarly Inimical to organized labor. A
statement recently- Issued by the authority
of the Omaha Business Men's association
denies this completely , and further shows
that e\fii ri liie c'oscrt meetings of the as
sociation the .speeches of members have al
ways been marked by the most respectful
attitude toward the laboring man , and not
a word has been said that would suffer
from public repetition.
TLc conference between the labor lead
ers and the special committee or the Busi
ness Men's association that w'as called by
j j Governor Mickey brought out a clear and
emphatic statement of the position
of the two bodies , as shown by the
stenographic report , which has just been
transcribed. It has been claimed in some
quarters that this conference was barren
ol results , but the exact alignment of posi
tions obtained through it should afford con-
tlsi
sideraole , t-ati&factlon , even if no advance
' was made toward arbitration of the dis
I pute.
This conference seems early to have set
tled down to an effort on the part of Hon.
T. .7. Mahoney , the attorney of the Busi
ness Men's association , to pin the represen
tatives of labor to a definite and explicit
statement of the position and aims of the
strike then ou in Omaha. In this he seems
to have slice-ceded very well , though at
times calling upon himself expostulations
from Mr. Bell , the president of the Central
Labor union , who insisted that he was not
a witness to be cross-questioned , and that
Mr. Mahoney used very harsh terms in de-
lining tucir position.
Iu the tirst place Mr. Mahoney stated to
the confeienc'1 that the Business Men's as
sociation had never questioned the right of
the laboring man to organize in unions , nor
did they now question the rights of such
unions to exist , but he wished to establish
the corollary of this by ascertaining
wni'ther the representatives of labor there
present would also acknowledge the right
of existence to unorganized labor. This
right was thereupon admitted by Mr. Bell
and his associates , but they stoutly main
tained the union men could not be expect
ed to associate with or work alongside of
nonunion men. They would not deny the
ug.it of employers to hire nonunion men ,
but they would insist that such men at
unee make application to enter the union.
Asked if that did not result In forcing all
employes into union ranks , thus in reality
driving out the nonunion men , the reply
wax made that they had no desire to crush
, , - . they "only Avanted to get hold of him
tail : to him and make a man of
. i. '
11 w.s finally4 brought out , however , and
l-i m it unequivocal terms , that the rcprc-
: Qntji'ives of the labor unions present
would never be willing to submit to arbl-
liation the three salient poiuts of the dis
pute : ( t ) The right of the employer to
hiiu both union and nonunion men with
out discrimination ; (2) ) the use of the boy
cott , and ( . ' ! ) the sympathetic strike. They
insisted that these were their weapons
land peifectly legitimate weapons ) in their
warfare against the nonunion man ; as they
expressed it , "warfare against the man
who rtaists the onward march of organized
labor. " It was further maintained with
considerable- show of effrontery that in the
laboring world the majority is to rule and
I he minority must eventually yield. Final
ly , Mr. , Bell declared , quite , hotly , . "The
Lime has gone by in this community when
the individual has any very material rights
left. "
On the part of the Business Men's associa
tion , on the other baud , the point was very
clearly made that they do not refuse , to
grant to the unions that much sought for
"leeognition. " if such recognition implies
. imply an acknowledgment of their legal
existence , or even an agreement to settle
questions affecting wages and hqurs with
the olliceis or committees representing
such unions : but the association , in com
mon uith similar bodies of business men
in Denver , " Kansas City , Chicago , New
1'ork and other cities , does refuse to "rec
ognize" the unions if that recognition can-
be accomplished only by signing contracts
in which the employer is pledged to cm-
ploy union men exclusively and to refuse
supplies , merchandise or service to any in
dividual , lirm or corporation that may be
pronounced at any time "unfair" by the
unions.
The kernel of the whole dispute seems to
lie ( in this. The union men believe , or lire-
tend - they believe , that their unions are in
danger of disruption if they concede these
principles to their employers. The latter ,
while absolutely refusing to surrender to
such dictatoir.iip , have endeavored to point
out that there will still be left much for
organized labor to accomplish iu this world
without trying to run 011 union lines both
the employes and the employers' ends or
the entire business of the 'community.
This position was voiced recently by a
well known business man of Omaha , who
said : "Where would this sort of thing
lead us , were fhc unions to win out in their
.strike ? Ht would result in a form of oligarchy
garchy , in which the dictators would be a
few men sitting -behind a table In Labor
Temple , a little government within the gov-
issuing their mandates to the
business mm. the professional n eii , the
moneyed men , the statesmen qf Nebraska.
Not a laborer could lind work who did not
belong to a union ; ijor could he , on tljc
other hand , belong to a union unless that
union saw lit to elect him. Nor could any
employer offer work unless hp agreed to
abide by all the rules that the tnilon might
create , of the justice and equity of which
the ' union should be the sole arbiter , "
The daily press of Omaha ha.s attempted
to cloud tlie ibsue. By skillful use of head
lines ] and juggling with thp facts thes
papers ha\e given out the impression , for
reasons bt" < t known t" themselves , that in
many ' cases the strikes had been won l > 7
the ] men , and that in other instances the
"bcale" had been "signed up" by the em
ployers. rStieh defections have , only oc
curred among the smaller establishments
and have not in any way affected the gen
eral result , The terms on which the vo.st
majority of strikers havp returned to work
Omaha indicate a complete surrender of
their di'mands , Indeed , there have
no terms at nil , except that the men to.Uc
their places and co.iitinue their employ
ment as before , wages not having seemed
cut jiiuch figure iu this altercation , The
Business Men's association has not been
jarred in the least. It is by all odds the
most representative body of employers ever
gotteujtogi'ther in Omaha for any purpose ,
UWde up much a'long the same lines as the
famous Knights qf Ak-Mar-Bun , So fart \

follows !
