BACKED DOWN.
Last Friday morning the Omaha
Republican published a 5 ; bombastic
challenge to Edward HoMwater to
WjMT - * - "HH1 * " * ! JSW *
* t
discmutihejnibMl lesne , in a series
of ten ardw . vThojshallinged party
was invltec to f urniahthe , points upon
which aati monoplittB are. at issue
with the railway inanagera , and the
challenger agreed in advance to de
fend -monoptlists , and disprove
every charge brought against them.
The challenge was accepted with
the -proviso that the debate should ba
conducted in impersonal editorials ,
which were to be published in f nil by
THE BEE.and &puoltom. This con
dition , waaA imposed -mainly with a
view to excluding all personalities and
confining the detita to fact" and argu
ment. This proper and reasonable
restriction has furnliKpd the Union
Pacific organ with a pretext for a
-square-btckdown. ThejRcpuWt'can
declines to entej nporT the debate
but aa obscure employe of that cm-
cern insists that we shall gratify his
sell-conceit and hankering after cheap
notoriety by publishing his views on
ihe railroad question over his name in
this paper. ' -
For these views he claims ho alone
will be responsible , and he wishes it
distinctly understood that he Is in no
sensa a representative of the railroads.
Now , in Ihe first place , hla assumed
independence Is a cheeky.Imposition. .
The Republican Is notorlonily own
ed and controlled by the Union Pa
cific and could fcot exist ninety days
without the patronage of that monop
oly. Nobody employed on Us editor
ial staff can dlecvss' the railway issue
from an independent stand-joint But
even If the obscure scrlbber'had not
dissembled about his , relations to the
monopoly w.e ahonld never gratify
his vanity t by entering Into a
profitless personal discussion with
him. There is no doubt that a better
understanding of the relations be
tween the railways and the people Is
desirable and must sooner or later be
had. We shall at all times cheerfully
grant the use of our columns to any
ccredlted representative of .the rail
ways to enable them to present their
deaf the questions at Issue.
-If - Mr.Poppleton , the general at
torney , Mr. Thurston , the political
attorney , Mr. Vinlng , the gene
ral freight agent , or Mr.
Kimballj- the generalrmanager of
the Union-Pacific , , dflsirel-to enter

full and .fair hearing , through THE
BEE , bat -we must emphatically
decline io publish the gasconade of

Furthermore the editor of this paper
will enter into no debate over his own

name upon niny subject , unless it is
purely a personal matter relating to

strikes in'tho various trades , and the
labor-market' generally Is .unsettled

Labor .througfiont the country ia so
closely , bound.togetKer by common In
terest and so universally , ffected by
common causes that , aay dUturbance
in supply and demand "which" makes
itself felt in one place Is almost certain
to affect another. ' '
In all cases where a difference exists
between the .employers and the em-
ployedIn < thls < city , as elsewhere , the
greatest care should be taken
by both sides to avoid use
less conflict and a protracted strike.
Such aatato of- affairs Ia injurious no
less to the parties Immediately con
cerned than to the community at large.
The loss of tme entails suffering on
the labrera and inconvenience on em
ployers , besides acting as a check , to
trade. In most cases labor disputes
can "be satisfactorily eetUed by a resort
Co arbitration. The greatest victories
have been iron by compromise and the
most satisfactory results in ihe great
majority of labor troubles h&ve been
gained by mutual concessions. In the
present case there is .113 doubt
that the increased cost of
(
of living , and the prosperous
state of many .trades fully justify the
demands of labor for a reasonable In
crease * inwages. . Most employers in
the east.have recognized this fact and
acceded to the request of their
employes for an advance in pay. By
so doing" we bellevo that they have
consulted their own interests and the
interests ol the communities in which
they live. On the. other hand our
Omaha workmen ehould bo very care
ful 'to make only reasonable demands
for increased wages. .Our city In
common with , all "other towns on the
river la jast'now Buffering somewhat
from the effect * of an unusually hard
winter and the ] atefloods which threw
nearly two thousand workingmen out
-employment. . ! The effect of this la
felt in every branch ol trade and will
bo for name weeks to come. The
working people are far from. ' flush 'and
-cannot well afford to contribute "to
support protracted strikes' . On
this account- oar workingmen
should bs moderate and just
avoiding 'unreasonable - demands ,
and open to a discatsion nd fair ad
justment cf anjrt labor difficulty in
which they onay become involved.
Wo have no doubt that arbitration
will be found the quickest and .most
aatifac ory tray of dealing with the
disputed questions of 'this character
which may arlsbiitfd' that by so decid
ing the most satisfactory resdta io
both parties will ba attained.

Agent How the Law

Chlojo Times Spedal.
NEW YORK , April 29. The steam
ship Wyoming on yesterday brought
to this city about two hundred Mor
mon immigrants. They are the first
company arriving this year , ind the
first instalment , as The Times correspondent
pendent la informed by Mr. William
C. Staines , the Mormon Immigration
tgent , la generally smaller than the
partlea.whlch follow. Four or five of
these Mormon colonies are to arrive
d.uring the season at intervals of a
month or so. Mr. Staines says that
the European missionaries of his
church' report that they are bavins ; ex
cellent success in winning converts.
There are now eleven thousand Mor
mons resident in Europe. A party of
thirty five Mormon missionaries now
en route from Utah will leave thla city
early rext week for the old world ,
aad will bo scattered through Scandi
navia , Denmark , and Great Britain ,
where they will remain two years.
Another Urge party of missionaries

was a dead letter. It had no effect at
all upon Mormon proselytlsm in En
rope , except to stimulate it , and the
foreign governments which 'were urg
ed to Interfere with the Mormon
propagandists took no steps whatever
In the matter. In spite of the opposi
tion of the United States ard terri
torial authorltiea , the Mormon church
has never pushed Itn interests more
vigorously than it la doing this spring ,
nor has Ic ever had a prospect of
achieving-greater results of its labors.
The immigration bids fair to bet some
thing larger than usual , probably
about three thousand five hundred
people. A good dial of missionary
work is being done in tha southern
states , and with large success. Mor
mon colonies , composed of 'hardy '
ojanpmejij nd women , are movlnfi
ions , and are rapidly transforming
ihe valleys In Idaho , Wyoming and
Arazona , into well-tilled farms. Mr.
Staines eaid to-day that thla

was simply a natural movement of
population , such aa has been seen
Lime and again in the history of our
states. Many of the younger people
re simply leaving comparatively
well-settled Utah for regions where
they can have cheaper farms' and a
better chance. Mr. Staines talked
with the Times' correspondent with
rather unusual freedom about the at
titude of the Mormons toward the
movements opposing them. This gen
tleman ia about 60 yoara of age , and
was one of the original party which
Brigham Young piloted across the
almost unknown plains of an undis
covered home on the borders of Salt
lake. He has had much to do with
the development of his church and
people , and for many years shaa had
charge of the Important immigration
interests of the church , spending his
summeia in New York city and his
winters , at homo. "Of course , " said
he , "we are annoyed by the opposi
tion we meet with and the falsehoods
that are told about us ; bnt we are not
alarmed. We are
BORROWING HO TROUBLE ,
and we are moving forward directly
In the course in which we have always
conceived our duty to be that is , to
build ourselves np as a church and a
people , doing evil to no man , bnt do
ing our duty to ourselves , no matter
what the world about us has said ; We
are attending to our own concerns ,
leaving the future to Him who has
seen us safely through mora than one
trial. To show you what I moan , let
me say that in our public and business
meetings we are giving no words or
thought to our opponents. In our
recent general conference , which , I
understand , waa unusually interesting
and Important , the governor , who la
bitterly opposed to us , was not alluded
to in any shape or manner during the
entire proceedings. Most people who
assail us Lave not the eliehtist idea
what our religion is to us. They don't
knowwhttwo have suffered for it.
They can't comprehend the power that
was In It ; which made us '
WANDERERS IN THE WILDERNESS
that we might be true to it. They
don't realize that our belief ii aa dear
to uaas the faith of the pilgrim fath
ers waa to them , and that we never
have and can not now abate one jot
or title of It. Neither do they re
member that Mormonism ia innate in
the 'moat of our people of to-day.
They- were born Mormons , and the
same spirit is in them that was in'their
fathers the same capacity to maKe
them do and suffer for their religion.
I tell you , sir , that no people any
where could have done what the Mor
mons have done unless strengthened
and 'encouraged by convictions as
sincere and aspote'nt as ours. "
Correspondent Am I to infer from
what you have aaid that if measures
were taken to destroy that feature of
your system which is obnoxiousto
the ronntry the Mormons would make
anarmed resistance to such meas
ures ?
Mr. Staines All talk 'about the
Mormon people taking up arms
against the United States government
is
SHEER KOKSEKSE.
Our opponents , some of them , have
intimated that we would fight , but no
such talk has , been heard from us.
Such a course would be worse than
folly ; it would be criminal ; it would
be acrime , against ourselves. What
ever extremity came , we would Have
every thlng'to lose and nothing to gain
by such a course. We are a peaceable
people. We don't wish to force our
opionions or our religion on any .pan ,

NOT SUCH TERRBILE WRETCHES.
Many of them who do hbthbld'our
religious beliefs , and who uasd to

day our excellent friends. They have ,
found in Utah a society that ii vlrtu-c
ons , happy , and prosperous. It ia
with us aa a people , 1 find , aa It ia
with us individually. I have often
noticed that some atrangera grotr sud
denly cool and distant in their manner
whan they iearn that I am a Mormon.
These same people have been aincerely
friendly after we'became better ac
quainted. We believe that we are
misunderstood ; that the practical re-
results of our religioaa syatem are
misunderstood , and that there will'be
far leas prejudice against us when the
country comes to know the good we
have done as a society , the communi
ties of honest , God fearing people we
have built np , and ithe real help our
religion has been to us in every good
sense.
EVADING THE LAW.
6or. May' I ask If the United
States law agoinst pollgamy la obeyed
to any extent ?
Mr. S. I-frill speak frankly to you
about that. When I am.at home no
one tells me that he has taken another
wife ; I am witness to no marriage cer
emonies. If I talk with the unmar
ried ladles I have known , even if I
suspect that they have become one of
the wives of some one , I address them
by their maiden names , and tbey can
not tell from my conversation that I
believe them married. All our people
follow the same policy. The reason la
obvious. If we had knowledge of
the occurrence of polygamous mar ;
rlagea we cculd ba used aa witnesses
against those who transgress the
United States .laws , however proper
their action might be in their own
eyes. We therefore studiously avoid
acquiring any Information that would
be competent testimony in a court of
law. I have told you what our bear
ing is with reference to the existence
of the law. As to the effectiveness
of the law to accomplish the ends de
signed , you may judge for yourself.
It is a fact that If I told yon all I have
heard or seen of polygamous mar
riages In recent yean , I could tell
yon very little. As to the question of
polygamy , it Is a
TENET OF OUR FAITH
a : much as any other article of our
religion. > In our social relations we
are as pure and happy as any people
on earth. I will not say that polga-
mous marriages have not occurred in
our midat from improper motives , but
such marriages have been the rare ex
ception. "
Mr. Stalnea also told the cor
respondent that in the farming dis-
trits , wherever Mormonism has
spread , a large part of the agricultur

With this I would publish , that I
have used St. Jacobs Oil , writes Mr.
August Price , Bergen , N. J. , and
found that it relieved rheumatism

As a.rnlo we do not recommend pat
ent medicines , bnt when we know of
one that really is a public benefactor ,
and does positively cure , then we con
sider it our duty to impart that in
formation to all. Electric Blltera are
truly a moat valuable medicine , and
will surely cure Billlousness , Fever
and Ague , Stomach , Liver and Kidney
Complaints , even where ail other rem
edies fail. We know whereof we
speak , and can freely recommend them
to all. [ Ex. Sold .at 50 cents a bottle
