WHEN the worklngmenof Omaha at
their mass meeting lut Sunday past
resolutions placarding The Omaha
Herald as an enemy of the industrial
c'ases , anl pledging themselves to
withdraw their patronsga from that
sheet , nuny good people in this city
who sympathise with laboring men
expreucd their disapproval of this
course. They regarded the adoption
of such resolutions as a blunder be- ,
caute it had the tendency to evoke
active sympathy and support for The
Htrald from cipitaluti and corpora
tions.
The coarse , brutal and indecent as-
siult of the IlcraW on Omaha wcrk-
Ingmen in rotalliation for the with
drawal of patronage must now deprive
tint pap or even of the sympathy of
mn whose sentiments on the labor
question are in accord with these en
tertained by Dr. Miller. Dennis
Kearney , in his worst harangues ,
never applied as file , blasphemous
and insulting epithets to the Califor
nia nabobs and monopolitts as have
been applied by the Herald , in its edi
torial on "Grown , " to the workingmen -
men of Omaha
Such choice epithets as "leprous
lazzironi , " "conspirators , " "crazy
men , " "communists , " are promiscu
ously flung in the faces of these men ,
who , even if they were laboring un
der the delusion that labor has the
same right to self-protection that is
enjoyed by capital , scarcely deserve
such vituperation. This paper has no
disposition to incite hostility toward
the Htrald , nor does the withdrawal
of patronage from that sheet benefit
us in the least. Our circulation will
not be increased by the withdrawal of
subscribers from the Herald , be-
causa ire already have' as many
irorkingmen on our list as ara able to
pay for a pspsr , nor can we derive any
bene6t otherwise , since the well ,
known and indisputable fact that this
paper circulates fally five hundred
more dailies in Omaha than are
circulated by all the olher
dailies combined , insures us as
much local advertising patronage as
caa be obtained by any paper. We
sincerely regret that the eroW should
o lower the profession of journalism

NATIONAL RAILWAY BEQULA-

The necessity of national legislation
on the restriction of transportation
monopolies is becoming more appar
ent every day. This all .important
issue is eagrcsiirg tha stteniion of
tome of the ablest thinke's ani writ-
era of this country. The following
extract from an able a-.ticle in the
latest number of the PennMonthty
hits the nail eqnarily on the heid.

As the constitution stinds , a Unite *

first would be preconcerted action b ;
the central and state governments , in

competent experts for th-3 control o
all the railroads. In the existing
sta'o of publio opinion , such an
airangement would be quite pos
siblo. Even the tf&cers of th
Pennsylvania railroad have ad
milled the necessity for some uucl
action. It is ns much required to pro
tect the owners of the railroads fr. > m
the wasteful excesses of competition

be necessary tj amend the Unitei

The Illinois Conven ion The Unit
Rule.
Clcivc'and Laer. !
The action of the minority in the
recent republican convention of IUi-
noi > , in recording its solemn protest
against the. proceedings of the major
ity , renders it almost certain that two
sets of delegates will apply for admis
sion to the nation * ! convention from
that state. The state has forty-two
votes in the iiit'onal convention. The
state convention which met last week
in-.tructed the forty-two dtlegatea it
eletted to v .to as a. unit fur General
Gr at. The delegates from ten con-
gretsional districts have entered
their solemn protest against thefC
instructions. Their p-otest reads :
"Wo hereby protest againsHbe ap-
poititmentor selection , or against the
attempted appo'ntmeut and ( election ,
by ilu'j convention , of any other dele
gates than those nme3 , ( viz : the del
egates appointed by the dutricts ) , and
we deny the right of thia convoili n
to make any other appointment. " The
meaning of tMs language is clear.
'I he delegates elected frcm ten con-
grisu mat dUtriIB , twenty in number ,
will apply for admission to the nation
al convention , and if admitted will re
duce the vote for Grant from that
Ute from forty-two to twenty-two.
Whether they or admit'ed or not
will depjnd net mo'e'y upon thtir
r'ghts to be there , but upon the
rapac'ty of the ent'-Bliine men to
keep them out It is unnec ssaiy to
say that t is state of aff.irs ii far from
being jtut , but we might as well re
cognize its existence. A.I o nvo-.tiorjs ,
wbotber ward , c'ty , county , district
or state , are divided into classes re
presenting diverse ( hides of opinion
and favoring different candidates.
The etro-gcst and most skillfully
nunaged faction wins the day. We
hope that in deciding the claims of
the Illinois delegates the national
convention will be governed by a de
sire to g vo all paities Iheir jubt re-
prelection. Should the twenty pro-
test'ng del-gites ba admitted , the
next question to ba coneihred wi'l ' be
the unit rule.
The admitsion of the different sets
of delegates , and the adoption of the
unit rule , are queatiocs purely and
solely within the province of the na
tional convention to decde. They
are by no means new. Evoiy fear
years in one or the other .of the na
tional parly conventons , similar
questions are agitated and disposed ot.
Four years ago , when Penu ylvania
was cilled in the roll of slates , Mr
Don. Cameron ca .t the vote of his
state solidly for Gov. Hartranft A
member of the delega ion , Mr. Fur-
they , thereupon rojo to a question of
privilege , saying that he , with
another member of the Pennsyl
vania delegation , dt sired to "cast
their votes for Mr. Blaine. The prey
ident , Mr. McPherson , declared thai
it was the right of any and every mem
ber to vote his s n'imonts , and as
this remark was greeted "with general
applaute Mr. McPherson decltrcd bis
opinion sustained. Then a formal ap
peal was made from the decision o !
the chair and the question was thor
oughly discussed. Tha discussion
was a f qussi-admission on the
part of all the members that
the question was eminently
proper for the convention to decide.
Among the many experienced
parliamentarians on the floor not one
opposed the question as out of order ,
or beyond the jurisdiction of the con
vention. At the close of an exbaus
t'tve debate the chair was sustiined by
a vote "f 395 yois" to 353 nays. In the
convention of 1872 no such issue was
raised , but in the republican conven
tit. n of 1868 it was raised in regard to
the vice presidency and d-ciced
agaimt the unit rulo. We cannot
call to mind any instances where
the unit rule has received i
learned discussion in Democrat
ic conventions. In 1876 , at the
St. Louis democratic convention , S.
S. Cox , DeWitt Littlejohn , JohnKel
ly , General Thomas Ewingand others
were hiseed down while attempting to
speak in behalf of the minority. Dur
ing the voting for candidate for preal
dent , delegates from New Jersey ,
Virginia and other states attempted in
vain to vote according to their in
dividual views. The chairmen of the
respective delegations announced the
vote and it was recorded without
allottinganyformal remonstrance. The
Associated press dispatches of the day
report that before the ballot was an
nounced there were some twenty dele
; ites on the floor at once striving to
be hoard. Many of them were stand
ing on tables and cuairs protesting
against having their votes recorded
contrary to their views.
_ A review of the history of convtn
; ions will demonstrate tbat is. within
the power of each convention to adopt
whatever rules it thinks proper for its
government.
The Silver-Mining Industrr.
Vcw York Tribune.
Silver-mining in the United Slates
s steadily working out of tbe reckless ,
pecuhtive phaee which marked the
larly st gos of its development , and is
rginniug to take rank as an import
ant national industry , contribu'ing
unnually to the wealth of the country
in amount that can ba calculated in
advance with
approximate
accuracy ,
find depended on with aa much confi-
lence as the coal product or the \ield
f wheat. It is evidently des'ined to
grsat but not feverish expantrn.
he area of silver-bearing deposits is
3 ng constantly extended by the ra-
esrcbes of prospectcra and the enter-
rse : of capitalist } ; and with all
ae activity of tke past two jeirs
iere still remains so large
expense of unexplored territory ia
the precious metal likely to be
found that no limit to the future pro
ductiveness of thia new industry can
now be fixed The fact that silver
mining requires a heavy outhy of
capital before it yio'ds any returns ,
tends to mike the business more and
more conservative. Heavy losses hive
been tufftrei by investments in
patt'ally explored loJes and by at
tempts to work mines without suffi
cient me in a , and the re u't of such
costly experiments liai been to make
investor * cautious about trying doubt
ful stocks , and companies slow t"
undertake expensive operations until
the value of theirjroparlies hai been
fully ascertained by thorough exanrni
tion.All
All th's is healthful fcr muvi'g ' aa n
permanent and profitable iniuitry.
The enormous gains and losses of the
pait will not bo likly to be repeated
in tl.o futum , but the business will
got upon a sonnd , t table basis , where
its net yield will be amply remunera
tive for the money spent in carrying
it on. Public sentiment about mining
stocks as an inveilment w 11 then un
dergo i gr. at change. Indeed , the
change bvgius to be acea already.
Men no longer put a few hundreds or
thousands'as a ' "flyer" into a c mpiny
they know nothirg about , in the same
spirit that they might iaveat the money
in lottery ticke s or lay it down on a
roulette table. Careful inquiry is now
made about the prospects of tuo com
pany , the reports of experts on its
property , and the character cf the
men concerned in its management.
People who condemn miningaa a ruin-
OUB , demoralizing , gambling sort of
business are usually thcsa who- have
lost money in it by a reckless ds'Cgdtil
of the meat ordinary principles of
business life. Amon-f conservative
capitalists the industiy grows in favor
with increasing knowledge cf its capa
bilities and an intelligent comprehen
sion of its fu'ure.
It is certain that in the high , arid
water-ehf d of the continent , embrac
ing the states and territories of Colorado
rado , Dakota , Monism , Idaho , Utah ,
NtVdda , Atidona and New Mexico ,
there isavist store of argentiferous
ore ; that the location of only a small
part of it has been determined and its
development barely begun ; that the
mines which have been opened and
workei , when opened on well-tes'ed
veins and worked with -sonsblo
sagicity and economy , hive yield d
handsome profits. The Lustrees
is therefore a legitimate one , inviting
to investors of surplus C'pital and
to men of enterprise. If people will
exercise tbe same prudence in buying
mining chores that they exercsj : in
buying bank f hares or railn ad share- ,
the gambling feature in it will scon
d'sippear , and tbo risks of lots will
not be nero : serious than in mere n-
tile or manufacturing ventures. Bo-
cent experience has shown that the
s'r.ng ' companies which are nble to
make large expenditures for shafts find
levels , and fcr the purchase of ma
chinery , so as to be prepared for thor
ough operations before expecting any
returns , succeed the best. The result
is to throw the business more and
more into the h > nds cf tiuh compv
n'e ' , and to discourage the formation
of weak concerns which have barely
means en * ugh to scratch the eur-
face of the ground , and must break
dowu if they cm nit speedily earn
dividends. The hazards of mining are
thus diminiihed , for the strong com
panies bickel by ample capital are
not likely to spend large sums on un
certainties. The history of the m'nes
of precious metals in Europa is in
structive in this regard , showing
as it docs tbat such mines do
not , tn a rule , become p oSt-
able un'il thoroughly openo'jand ' | ]
equipped. The royal Hungarian
mines of Tchemnltz and Kremnitz ,
for example , opened in Maria Ther
esa's time , are worked b ? the aid of a
great drainage tunnel 45,000 feet ! oip : )
constructed at a heavy expense.
They have been operated for over a
hundred years , and their jit-11 does
not vary much from 6,000 pounds of
goldannually , woith about § 1,440,000.
The net work of veins is appa-omly
inexhaustible , and scch is the c se
with all true mo'a'liferous districts
The importance of th- role wlrch
silver mining is dest'noi to p'ay amen *
our national industries cannot now le
estim&tjd , but it is certain to bo viry
great. Hera i ) a product which all
( he world wata , and is ready at
all times to la' e off our hasds at
a pr'ca that is -a-ly tt ble , in ex
change fir i's commodities , cr in
p ynieut of our debis. Its increased'
yit-ld must bo a smrco of satitf.ctiun
to tha p.triot and the pDliticil
economist. All the facts thus far as
certained lead to the belief that the
output of our s'lver regions will bo
steadily augmented for the next ten
years , at L ast , by the discovery of new
mines and the moro thorough working
of old cnes , and that when it cul *
minatosit will remain without serious
diminution fcr generations.
Reaction In the Iron Trade.
Buffalo Commercial.
The great "boom" in the iron trade
is now a thing of the past. Instead
of daily reports of activity and ad
vancing prices , announcements of fail
ures and reductions in rates are the
order of the dny. Yesterday the
Road'ng Railroad and Coal and Iron
company , one of the largest companies
in the country , sucpended payments ,
while numerous other concerns in
various pirts are making consign
ments.
Tbat such is the case is entirely
dua to the reckless spirit of specula-
that seized upon all classes of people
as soon as the revival set in last year.
The outlook in the iron trade last
September was better than it had been
for many years previousthe ; etocks on
hand were light , the demand for im-
mcdhto consumption was active and
likely to continue ao for many months ,
and the uncertainty with reference to
the future that had been such a seri
ous obstacle to renewed trade , had en
tirely dsappeared. The heavy move
ment of grain , provisions and other
western prodmts , had inspired ra'lway '
managers with confidence and they
bought freely ; the revival in general
business particularly in building , in
duced largo purchases for general pur
pose ? .
This legitimate demand was suffi
cient to impart great activityxto the
iron interests and to advance prices
materially. But speculators taking
advantage of this improved condition
of trade entered the market and
bought all the pig they cculd find , and
in several instances purchased the en
tire product of furnace * for weeks in
advance. The iron thus bought on
speculative account was piled up to
await a further rise in prices which
was not long ia coming.
The speculative demand , added to
the legitimate ardors that were pour
ing in upon furnace men from all di
rections , put them almost beside
themselves. And they raised prices
in a way that indicated they thought
there was no satisfying tha mar
ket. Pig iron that had been a drug
in the trade at 817.50 to $18 a ton
was rapidly advanced from § 42 to § 45.
The unprecedented manner in
which prices were advanced alarmed
the manufacturers working on
contracts , and they in turn bought
more than-they really needed , and
stored the surplus for future use. The
extraordinary demand aid the high
prices ciueed the owners of eld fur- ,
nices that had not been in blast since
the psnicto start ther fires again , and
ulso induced the construction of some !
new sttoks. More than this , the
heavy rize in volnei carried rates be- j
rood the point at which foreign iron , !
could , be imported at a profit , and
Briti h iron has beea pouring in by
the hundreds of thousands of toni.
As evt ry sane person belhved would
ba the cace , the supply teen overtook
the demand , and then those directly
interested ' 6 ; an to cast about ani see
what vai thi condition cf affkin.
They dhcoiereda daily product more
than fufibient to meet current da-
minds , thousands cf ioni of pig-iron
hold rn si ec ilative account , and thou
sands mire being imported every
week. Aud ih n , for the first time ,
apparon'ly , furnace men di'cov-
ertd tha' they Lai made a 83-
rious mistake in advancing their
produc's to a point tbat would ad
mit foreign in n. They attempted to
remedy the difficulty by reducing'.quo
tations somes ] a . This alarmed weak
spccula'o's ' , who hastened to realiz- * ,
thus causing a further deulice , and
very soon th ? market was beycnd the
control of iron masters , and fell as
fast as it had aduanced. Foundry pig
thit a fuw week ago was held in the
leading iron centres at from § 45 to § 48
a ton according t ) location , hnaw of
fered at from § 14 to § 27 , while niils
that had reached § 5.50 'have dropped
togUO.
But , unfortunate as this reaction is ,
it may prove a blessing in disRiri.o.
The iroa business stirted off last
year m a legitimate , healthy way , and
if speculators had kept out of the
tradt ) there would not hive been such
a craze to buy , prices would not have
gone above § 30 or § 35 a ton , and the
business would have continued with
out any set-back. But speculators
have been taught a wholesome

Greatest Discovery of tbe Age.
Wonderful discoveries hi the world have ben made
Among other things where Santa Clans stayed ,
Children oft sk If he makes goods or not ,
If really he lives IB a mountain of snow.
Last year an excursion sailed clear to the Pole
And suddenly dropped in towhatseemedlikeiJiole
WhTe wonder of wonders they found a now land ,
iVhlle fairy-like beings appeared on each hand.
There were mountains like ours , with more
beautiful green ,
And far brighter skies than ever were teen ,
Birds with the hues of a rainbow were found ,
While flowers of cxquhite fragrance were grow
ing around.
Hot long were they left to wonder In doubt ,
A being soon came the/ had beard much about ,
Twas Santa Clans' self and this they all say ,
He leoked like tbe picture t esee every day.
He drove up a team that looked very queer ,
Twas a team f grasshoppers instead of reindeer ,
Be rode In a shell Instead of a sleigh ,
But he took them on boud and drove them
away.
He showed them all over his wonderful realm ,
And factories making goods for women and men.
Furriers were working on hats great and small ,
To Bonce's tbcr Bald they were sending them all. i
Kris Kingle. the Glove Maker , told them at once.
All our Gloves we are sending to Bunce ,
Santa showed them tuipenders and many thinfi

Santa CUes then whispered s secret he'd tell ,

H therefore sbooid send hia goods to hi * care ,
