from Milwaukee that in the West
ern Milwaukee railroad shops, a
body of 1,500 strikers visited there
and forced 2,000 men employed to

Dora Th-ton, of Hastings, Neb.,
attempted suicide the other evening
by taking arsenic. The cause of the
rash act was the unfaithfulness of an
old lover, who deserted her for an
other. At last accounts she was at
the point of death.

Omaha a port of- entry. The Presi

Tke WmtmrtTm CJe;
One of the greatest problems of
American statesmanship 1b the ex
tension of our commerce with other
nations. Broad as onr own land is,
it is not enough for American enter
prise, unless she can find some means
for enrbing the domineering, glnttony
of the transportation companies,
which literally rnle the country, and
dictate not only the price of com
modifies, bnt also whether they shall
be transferred at all from place to
place. Nebraska could readily ex
change her corn, oats, pork and beef
for California's fruits, Pennsylvania's
hard coal, Wyoming's soft coal and
Minnesota's lumber, and have all we
wanted at very fair prices, if the
cost of transportation were not based
on the theory of levying all that the
traffic will bear, instead of a reason
able compensation for services.
Come to think of it, we shall have
to curb this spirit In some shape
before it devours us. The struggle,
when it comes, will be short, sharp,
decisive, and very thorough, conse
quently lasting, for thiB is the way in
which the nation deals with a prob
lem of this sort
This question settled, the United
States will enter npon the most glor
ious era of her history, the extension
of her commerce to the furthermost
ends of the earth, in her own ships,
by her own seamen and merchants ;
our goods will be in demand every
where ; our inventions in the mechan
ical arts, eclipsing everything else,
will be sought after, and this whole
country, from ocean to ocean and
gulf to lakes, will be one vast garden
spot, mine, orchard and work shop,
combined. Vacant, tillable land will
be occupied; the now hidden treas
ures of the earth will be revealed,
and energetic human souls will here
advance several steps nearer the
perfect man.
It belongs to the men of to-day to
face this problem for themselves.
Their creature must not be allowed
to usnrp sovereignty over them or to
foster highway robbery under the
form of pretended vested rights.
The generations before us, on this
soil, have done their duty as best they
could, leaving ns, however, one
legacy of blood, which was to them,
beforehand, a source of anxiety, and
to us, afterwards, a matter of in
finite expense, in treasure and lives.
Let us see to it that, as far as we
are capable of doing so, even-handed
justice is done by all interests, to all
interests, to the end that there may
no cause for tronble. The solid,
everlasting foundation for peace and
prosperity, is justice, whose even
balanced scales should record the
people's desire.
Buuieaa Coanea Sense.
It does seem as if there was less
business common sense brought to
bear upon the problem of extending
American traae to otner countries
than in any other matter in which
this country is interested.
In developing the trade of our own
great country, we know that quick
and frequent communication is the
first requisite ; that the mails mu6t
be carried over the sparsely settled
parts of the country regularly, even
if the postage on many routes does
not pay the expenses ; that when one
business centre "reaches out" for the
busines of a certain territory by fur
nishing quicker communication and
lower rates, competing centres must
do the same or lose the trade ; that
trunk lines build up their respective
termini, and tho great problem in
trade is to get the business started
your icay, even if it costs something
to do it, after which the natural in
crease may be relied on to reduce the
percentage of cost and in time pay
a profit.
Now, the foreign trade is governed
by the same rules. Steam and elec
tricity have made tho world one vast
market open to manufacturers of all
the world on equal terms, but those
which can reach it the quickest and
the most frequent will get the bulk
of the trade. When a merchant sees
a competitor getting the best of him
he finds out where his competitor's
facilities are superior to his own,
and meets them with equal improve
ments, but the Government of the
United States refuses to sustain its
steamship lines to even the extent
that third and fourth class nations Bus
tain theirs, and while expending mil
lions of dollars on mail routes on
land that do not pay expenses, refuse
to apply the same principle to com
merce on the sea. Private citizens
have endeavored to restore the
Ameican flag to the proud place it
onco occupied on the ocean, but have
gone down before the competition of
foreigners who were backed by their
governments. Even now such efforts
are being made, notably by the
American line to South Amorica,
hut it seems to meet with but little
encouragement from the United
States Government, and it is not im
probable that it will go down as its
predecessors have before the unequal
competition of foreign lines that are
sustained by adequate pay for carry
ing the maiis. If it does, it will be
a long time before another set of
men sufficiently patriotic and enter
prising will be found to again put cap
ital and effort into establishing
American steamship lines. Dry

Tke Trae SyRteM of Pay !: For
Iabor.
"The common sense of the prob
lem is that no labor should be paid
by the day. All should be paid by
the hour." So says the Sun. The
principle thns set forth is entirely
wrong and vicious, and is at the
bottom of a large part of the labor
troubles. Labor should be paid,
whenever possible, neither by the day
nor by the hour, but according to its
results. To pay a workman accord
ing to the time spent npon the work
is the worst for him. It puts a
premium on tardiness and incom
petence and brings the mdst skilled
and expert mechanic down to tho
I level of the least fit The true theory
is to pay the workingman for what be
does, not for the time occupied ia
doing it. In this way skill will be
stimulated and industry rewarded.
This method, too, will have the effect
of removing from the trades unions
a stigma that has long clung to them
that, by putting all the laborers in
any given trade on the same scale of
wages, tbey offer no inducements to
special exceilMce. New York Times. I
The Chicago RIota.
The first blood was drawn on the
3d inst., in Chicago by the mob mov
ing, yelling, towards the McCormick
reaper works. The windows of the
factory bad been broken with stones
and bullets, and when the police ar
rived to disperse the mob they com
menced firing indiscriminately, U6ing
their clubB npon the mob, which soon
fed in every direction. The liberty
loving mobites claim that six of their
men were killed, but it is denied on
the part of the police who say that
five of their men were shot and badly
wounded. The mob received an
effectual dabbing when they at
tacked the police within their wagons
going to disperse the mob and some
of them may have received fatal in
juries. The mobites, after battering in
the windows of the McCormick
building and trying to kill or drive
the inmates from work, got them
selves a tolerably good drubbing at
the hands of the police and fled from
their inexcusable work. They after
wards issued a proclamation of:
"Revenge Workingmen to arms !
Tour masters sent out the blood
hounds, the ponce, xney Killed six
of your brothers at McCormick's.
Will you rise in your might, and
destroy the hideous monster who
seeks to destroy you ? To arms we
call you ; to arme !" This is only a
part of the proclamation but enough
to show the spirit of the whole.
Another day and night of riot and
violence in Chicago. The police was
attacked in the night by throwing
into their ranks a deadly bomb,
which was followed by firing upon
the police. The rioters were con
cealed behind boxes and barrels on
the sidewalk. The police have suc
ceeded in arresting three of the prin
cipal rioters, who have used their in
fluence by public speeches and ut
terance of one of them recommend
ing the use of dynamitic warfare in
his newspaper against the police.
Their names are August Spies, A. It.
Parsons, and Samuel Fielding. They
were all three arrestod in a close
room of the Arbeiter-Zeitung news
paper, and taken quietly to the Cen
tral Police Btation for safe keeping.
Dynamite discovered in Spies' print
ing office, and twenty-five printers
arrested in the Arbeiter-Zeitung
building. They were charged with
murder, bail refused and their cases
continued until May 14. The dyna
mite found in the printing office of
Spies was taen to the lake front and
exploded. A piece the size of a hen's
egg was placed between a coupling
link and oxploded. The heavy iron
was shattered into fine bits. John
Diegan, a police officer, was killed
during the night Forty-four wound
ed officers and men arc now at the
county hospital.
A report from Bay. View and Mil
waukee that the militia fired on tho
mob, on the morning of the 5th.
The mob was marching towards the
Allis works, which startod up under
military protection that morning,
and were intercepted by the police
and military, and refusing to desist
their mobish work, were fired upon,
and two men were killed, and two
more mortally wounded, and a
number of others slightly hurt.
Shellenberger and his wife were
taken the other day from tho jail at
Nebraska City, and takon to tho pen
itentiary at Lincoln, via Plattsmouth.
They are charged with the murder of
Maggie Shellenberger, his daughter,
she being found in his cellar not long
ago with her throat cut. Their sud
den taking to the penitentiary was to
save them from an infuriated mob
that was organizing to hang them.
Mobs are more liable to make mis
takes than would result from a fair
and impartial trial before a court and
jury; all such cases should be dis
posed of by the laws of the state.
Mobs only add a few more mur
derers to the list, and if ever detected,
and proper proof adduced beforo a
court and jury, they must abide the
result of their guilty work, and the
enforcement of the law. The law
really is at the foundation of our
civil and social organization, and
every citizen should take a pride in
abiding by it, and, under all circum
stances, advocate its enforcement.
The Unioa Pacific is seriouslv con
templating a system of suburban pas
senger trains, and is now about ready
to start the ball rolling by the early
introduction of an additional train on
the main line between Omaha and
Grand Island, running each way
once every day. It is also possible
that dummy trains may be run on
the Republican Valley and on the
Omaha, Niobrara and Black Bills
branches, running into the main line
from Norfork on the latter road, and
connecting with the Grand Is
land train at Columbus. On the Re
publican Valley branch the dummy
will run from Stromsburg and Beat
rice and make the connection at Val
ley. The time table will be arranged
so the people at all points already
named and all intermediate stations
can come to Omaha, arriving here
about 10:30 or II o'clock, have five
or six hours to transact such business
as they may desire and return home
in time for supper. Bee.
Miss Mary Kennedy, an intel
ligent yonng woman of Cincinnati,
visited the jail at Indianapolis the
other day to secure the photograph
of Henry Telteman, and some facts
regarding him. She believes that
Telteman killed a man named Baker
at Greensbnrg in 1884, for which
mnrder her brother, J. W. Kennedy,
is now serving a life term in the
Southern prison. She appears con
fident of being able to establish
Telteman's guilt, he being in the
crowd at the time the shooting oc
curred, and turning np only a few
months ago in connection with the
robbery of the Attica post-office, for
which mm it bow awftitiaf trial.
Bcaayler Ceart Notes.
Two cases a little out of the gen
eral run were decided at Schuyler
during the last term of the district
court. First, dentist Powers asked
for an injunction to prevent dentist
Thurston from practicing in
that vicinity Thurston having sold
his business to Powers with a prom
ise not to practice, &c. The injunc
tion was dissolved on the ground
that there was no proof to show
that the full purchase money was
ever paid Thurston for the business.
Tho other was that of Ballou v.
Ballon, petition for divorce, in which
was brought up thequostian of limit
ation of silch actions. We give, in
full, what the Sun says of Judge
Post's decision, as it may be of in
terest to some of our readers, even
outside the legal profession :
"The Judge went over the ground
of the trial very fully, and quoted the
authorities in New York and Wis
consin in like casos and from which
states our statutes on divorce aro
copied. The case came up at this
time on an amended petition. The
Judge in substanco said the plaintiff
was entitled to a bill of divorce un
less her equities were cut off by lapse
of time. "Does the statute bar this
prosecution?" Ho then read at
large the statute on limitations of
actions, sestions 16 and 39 on divorce,
the 4th division of which says action
must commence within five years
after tho offence. At the time, thought
plaintiff entitled to divorce, but on
his attention being called to this stat
ute and examination of decisions in
states from which the statutes are de
rived, was forced to conclude the
lapse of five years before commence
ment of suit was a complete bar.
Dutcher vs. Dutcher, 29th Wis. Quo
ted the Q. Bohanan case where our
statute ou criminal code being cop
ied from Ohio, the same view of the
meaning thereof was adopted by the
court, as had been given such statute
in Ohio by previous decisions. One
of the coincidences in the case was
that the Judge quoted a case of
"Ballou vs. Ballou" in New York
State in 1873, so similar in points
that he read at large, and the opinion
of Chancellor Walworth thereon.
Divorce not granted."
The United States has several times
demonstrated her ability to hold
England level in war, and in diplo
macy to prevent disturbance, so that
she can easily congratulate herself on
her ability in that direction, but it is
something to have a British poet
laureate sing our praises, even after
the lapso of a century from the
events be alludes to. In an ode the
other day on tho opening of the In
dian and Colonial exhibition, Mr.
Tenuyson, among other things, said :
"Britain fought her sons of yoro. Bri
tain failed, and nevermore,
Careless of our growing kin, shall wo sin
our father's win.
Men that in that narrower day un
prophctic rulers they
Drove from out the mother's nest that
young eagle of the West,
Who foraged for herself alone. Britains,
hold vour own!"
General Ckook, upon his return
to Omaha was banqueted by a large
number of distinguished friends, the
other evening, including Mayor
Boyd, who delivered a very happy
address of welcome. Tho response
of Gen. Crook was in a similar strain,
but marked with the extra good
quality of brevity. He expressed
pleasure in being with them, and the
interest he had always taken in the
city of Omaha, and had watched its
growth sinco '75, and takes a pride
in it and its people, and like Pat Mol
loy, although ray pockets are empty
I return to you with my heart full of
joy. Gen. Cowin, Judge Thurston,
Governor Warren and General Car
lin all made addresses.
Jotei'H Cook, of Boston, delivered
a lecture on "Tho Seven Modern
Wonders of the World," the other
evening at tho M. E. church at York,

wonders he stated to consist of speed
of intercommunication between na
tions, self reformation of the hermit
regions, parallel advancement of edu
cation and representative govern
ment, tho prospective moral alliance
between the nations, the triumph of
Christianity in our country, the ful
fillment of the Biblical prophecies,
the establishment of a scientific

Ok the 3d inst. lightning struck the
school building and the residenco of
J. M. Rice at the same time at Ster

in the school room. It shattered the
flag staff into splinters, and tore three
great holes in the roof. Rice's house,

Ed. Journal: It appears to me
an unfortunate thing that our people
lack judgment in the -matter of still
keeping alive the bitter, uncontrol
able feelings which pervaded the
minds of the citizens North and
South before and during the war of
the rebellion. Whenever an ovation
is tendered the distinguished rebel,
Jefferson Davis, and he gives public
utterance to his old, disloyal and
despised sentiments of treason against
the government, it naturally excites
in the minds of Northern citizens the
same old bitter feeling felt by them
against rebels doring the war, And
results in calling public meetings and
entering protest against such senti
monts. At these meetings, held at
Albany, N. T., patriotic speeches
were made and the assemblage sang
a familiar song, "We will hang Jeff

resolution : i
"Buolved, That treason Is odious ;
that the Union of the United States
of America and the liberty which
American principles of popular gov
crnment illustrate is worth the blood
of all the loyal citizaos of our
country."
Why net consider these old aad
bitter feelings at an end ? The South
yielded to the force of arms and cir
cumstances; the men iu authority
fixed the terms of surrender, and
tbey have been, so far as I know,
submitted to and complied with, and
that should forever end the con
troversy. If hanging traitors was
not made one of the conditions, it is
too late now to raise that question.
The present generation must raise
that question at the end of the next
rebellion, or before its beginning.
The indulgence in this terribly bitter
feeling on both sides, is well calcu
lated to bring about such an event.

After a. Proteased Straggle.
In 1864 I contracted blood poison.
Since that time I have suffered tor
tures from an affection of the skin,
rheumatism, and ulcerating sores.
During those long years of disease I
underwent treatment at the hands of
leading physicians in Norwich, Hart
ford, Providence, Boston and Chicago.
Failing to get relief at one place I
would go to another, but met with
the same treatment and effect every
where. The quantities of mercury
and potash I have taken have not
only done me no good, but I believe
it has done much harm. I have been
taking S. S. S. six weeks, and it is
hard to believe my own feeling,
though the fact that it has done more
for me in that short time than all
other medicines bavo in twenty
years is plain and undeniable. Six
weeks ago I was a total wreck, with
out hopo. Now that I have taken

matism is among the things of the

Swift's Specific there was a large
eating ulcer over my right eye which
alarmed me greatly, and no one who
saw it thought I would ever get well.
Like the other it is gone, and I thank
God for the creation of the Swift

First appearance of Martins on the 9th,

very heavy black cloud rolled up from

wind which continued through the night ,
probably an accompaniment to the cy
clone in Kansas at that time; also on the
25th and 26th, followed by sudden change
in temperature and frost and ice. It
would seem from looking over the weath

backward season, though the mean tern
perature of the month Is very nearly the
same as last year, but upon referring to
my record I ind that April, 1877, was
much more so, frost and Ice occurring
several times during the month and the
ground slightly frozen as late as the 29th
and 30th, aad six laches of snow on the
ground at the close of the month.
