It was straight burinoan though.
A connection had been made by mentis
of'thd Western Union wira , and a
lively condensation was noon begun
with Mr. Outtight , city cclitcr of the

Although the distance was about nix-
tean miles , the worda sent over the
wires wnro as distinct as if the spea
ker had only been a block distant ,
and the conversation was much easier

under the most favorable circum

After exchanging the usual courte

INDIGNATION MEETING.
Tlio Expressions at the Academy

A fovero Arraignment of Re
presentative Bartlotb.
Resolutions Adopted fof Preoi-
dent Arthur's Oonsider-
ution.
Bnrtlott'NBoomBndly SntDo-crn on
and Busted.
In pursuance with the call published
iu THE BEK , n mooting of the workingmen -
ingmen of Omaha was held at the
Aiadomy of Music yesterday after
noon for HID purpose of expressing
their Bonlimentn in regard to the re
port on the Into labor troubloo made
to the legislature by the committee of
which E. M. Bartlett was chairman.
Hpprcsontativea of the various
trades unions and labor organizations
were present in largo numbers.
The mooting tvna called to order
about 2 o'clock , and James Dooley ,
president of the Iron Moulders union
was elected president , and Edward
Waloh secretary. The president , in
the course of n tow remarks , said :
VJKU.OW WotiKiKdMEN : The objoot
of this meeting is to express our dis
pleasure at the conduct ot uomo of the
members nf the legislature and wo
shall bo glad to hear from nny of you
on the subject. Mr. Bartlutt had an
invitation to attend hero this after
noon , but ho is auoh a good Christian
that ho could not violate the Sabbath.
When ho was canvassing for votes to
send him to Lincoln , however , ho
wont around iu the boor gardens on
Sunday , and did not think so much of
the Sibbath then.
Ho don't dare to uliow his fnoo hero
thia afternoon. It is for you to say
whether ho ia going there again or
tint. Now , I would ask lor your
views , and your oxpressiona. ( Ap
plauso. )
Mil. KDWA1ID HOHEWATKU
being cnthuaiustically called for , said :
Mil. OlIAIUMAM AND FttLLOW ClTI-
/BNH : I regret that circumstances
over wln'oh wo have no control have
compelled the workinnmoa of Omitha
to transgress that part of their religi
ous creed that cominanda them to ob
serve the seventh dny , or rather the
first day of the week , as a day of root ;
but as a matter of fuota I under
stand it , the public halls in this city
are all engaged , at letitt this is , for
every night during the week , includ
ing Sunday night , and inasmuch as
many of you are unable , after n hard
day's work , to attend a ni ht meeting ,
BO it waa thought best to call this
meeting this afternoon.
I should have preferred that some
one among you should huvo preceded
me in ntatinn the general causes that
have brought you together. You are
all doubtless aware that there have
boon troubles in Omaha , oillcd by
certain parlies riots ; that a few weeks
ago the militia of this aUto , under the
command of the governor of this state ,
and federal troops were called into
thia city , and occupied your streets
and other places for the purpose , as
they claimed , to put dove u very dan
gerous riot. In duo course of time
they folded their tents and marched
away. And when the legislature mot
in extra seaa'ion , on the 12th of this
month , bills were presented for nearly
$13,000 to moot thd espouses of put
ting down this terrible riot in Omaha.
[ A voice , "To put down George Arm
strong. ] Yes , to put down ono man
in Omaha.
( iOVf.llNOtt XANOU
in his incmage , in order to justify his
course , ofllclally stated , that the troops
found on their arrival hero n very
doaperato riot. The mob wa defiant
ana u bloody collision was imminent ,
and he-congratulated the state forces ,
and the people of the dtato that thcro
*
was not any more bloodshed than
Lhero was. Now than , the legislature
before whom the claims were pending ,
appointed n committee to consider tuo
claims , and the Hon. E. M. Bartlett ,
from this county , was made hairmau.
After the committee was appointed
Mr , Moore , from York county , intro
duced resolutions , which were adopted
by the house , stating in substance
that the alleged riots Tu Omaha were
regarded in very many quarters as
exaggerated , and the protest for call
ing out the troops hero was not sus
tained , and , thnreforo , ho called upon
the committee to investigate the
causes that led to the riot , and re
quired them to report whether or not
the ofUcora had overstepped their
authority , Mr , Bartlett , as chairman ,
made n report , which I will read , aa
you cannot intelligently understand
his action without firat considering
wlnt this report wi\ ' . I underntand
Mr. Bartlett , who has not seen fit to
respond to your invitation , aayo that
this report is in every respect satis
factory. I presume it IB very Bath-
factory to him and especially to
TUB BUiaADIEnS
who swaggered around Omaha nnd
drew § 130 apiece for their time. Mr.
Bartlett claims that there is nothing
iu this report that reflects on you or
any workingmen in Omaha , but wo
shall presently aeo.
Mr. llosowator then road the report ,
which has already appeared in the
columns nt TUB BHB
Hero then ia the atatemont officially
made , which has been put into the
archives of thin atato as the truthful
history of the labor troubles of
Omaha. Iwaa in the house when Mr.
Birlutt made the ropoit , but of course
none but members cumu have a word
to say on the mtttor , and I remember
I noticed Mr. Mullen , a member from
this cmmty , rise indignantly as if ho
was about to lomonstrcte. But ho
repressed his feelings nnd concluded
to say nothing Objections were made
by Moore , liolmau iiud several others
that this report was
ONI : Hiuiii )
and only represented the yiowa of the
otlicora concerned in this matter , but
the report of the committee was
finally adopted. Mr. Btrtlott had
elated that ho had'no authority to
aond for persons and papers , Now
Mr. Bartlett knew that the house
would have authorized him to incur
the necessary expense to send foi any
body they wanted to have there , but
ho was acting attorney for personi
who did not want him to send for
persons and pipera or any informa
tion that would have led to cutting
down expenses. The stats could have
afforded to pay faro and time for
eight of ten persona rather than to
pay $130 tor oaoh brigadier who had
nothing to inspect except the whisky
jugs in the different saloons. ( Liugh-
tor and applause. ) Everyone will
concede that
THB Titoors
who simply obeyed the order of their
commander ought to bo paid , but
there woi no oxcusa for paying a gov
ernor's staff and a regimental staff.
Now then , whcnTL heard of thpso
ono aided and partial reports which
were to bo put into the archives of the
srato , nnd which would go do > rn to
history , I thought it best to write out
n statement , giving such a , veniou as
would bo uiven by nine-tenths , yes by
ninety-nine out of every hundred per
sons who were not instigators for call
ing out the military ,
I made a statement over my signa
ture and handed it tn thosamo member
who introduced the original resolu
tion. He was the proper person , because
cause ho had asked the legislature to
investigate the matter. As u constitu
ent of Mr. Bartlett I had just as much
right to do this as the mayor of Omaha
or the humblest citlzon , and Mr. Bartlett
lott was the last man who should have
objected ,
WHAT DID TIE DO ?
No sooner had tlio secretary sttrtod
to road the communication than ho
jumped up and shouted , ho did not
want any stump speech from Edward
Rosewater , of course n great many
gentlemen thought that was entirely
inconsistent , especially as the houco
was in a committee of the whole.
After a wrangle the communication
was ordered read. I do not know
whether you want that communication
read here , ( criea of "read it" )
Mr lloaowatcr then road the com *
mumcation , which has boon previous
ly published in , TUB BKE , after which
ho proeucdud. Fellow citizens of
Omaha , Task you if there in anything
in this statement that can bo success
fully contradicted , or that exaggerates
r misstates any of
TUB POINTS AT JHS0K.
( Loud cries of no , no ) I was very
particular in abstaining from all re
flections that were not necessarily re
flections upon the general conduct of
the campaign. J said nothing about
the committee or impugned its mo
tives.
tives.When
When this question was placed be
fore the legislature Mr. Moore re
quested that it should bo embodied
with Mayor Boyd'a Jester and the oth
er documents. A inption was made
to lay the nholo thing on the table.
That motion was voted down. A fill-
libustoriui ; game was played that last
ed a day aud a half.
The railroad strikers led by Church
Honro and Bartlett made anonslought ,
not upon the qubstious at issue be
tween the statesmen and official re
ports , nor a ainat any allegation , but
upon < tnv elf. Mr. Bartlett , in
his card , eaya we can find the truth
in "Tho Omaha Republican ; hero it
is ,
The speaker then road a report of n
spaoch made by lion , E. M. Bartlett ,
published in the Republican , In which
no announced
TUB WOUKINOUKV
ill strong terms , and slandered and
villified the editor of TUB BUB.
The spoikor continued * Well , this
is about the subitunca of nil the
apoflchoa made by B trtlott. Now , in
no placa does ho contradict a single
statement that woo made in my com
munication. In no place doea ho
question the voracity of it. lie aays
thab thia statement was made in be
half of nouo but cut-thnutfl , thugs ,
and thieves.
Well , then when about COO work-
inijmoii signed a petition , asking th.it
thia statement bo put on record just
the Bamo as the lotier of Mayor Boyd ,
Mr. Bartlett moved and voted that the
petition bo laid upon tlio table , Ua
assorted right there that not a voice
from
HIS CONSTITUENTS
should bo board ,
Mr Bartlutt stated in his speech
thai the laboring men of Omnha in
sisted that no man should work at
such wages ai he is willing to labor
for and that I had encouraged that
idea , I have encouraged no tush
thing , I have always assorted that
workingmen have tlio riyht to induce
others from working at loir wages by
peaceable moans , but : that they have
no right to force men from working
at any price they choose. That is a
fact' , and no man over hoard mo say
anything elso. It is a fact that I can
substantiate that this much abused
mau .
JIM STEl'IIENSON
after the affray on the dump was r < > ady
and willing to pay his laborers $1.70
a day , but the B. & M ofliciivls de
clared you must noc do it. Wo will
not allow you to pay the wages you
are willing to pay. It ia wrong and
unlawful for any man , or aot.of men
to say to- other men they sliall network
work for wages they are willing to ac
cept. I want to know by what author
ity the B. & M. can interfere with a
contractor , and order him not to pay
the wages ho is willing to pay. What
was the object of these officials/ /
talked with
OUABLIK OBEEN ,
who ia their attorney. Ho s.iid we
did not propone to surrender. Wo
wanted to vindicate the honor of this
atato.
DJ wo want the honor of thia state
vindicated at the point of the bayonet
when employers can settle their dif
ference piucibly ? Mr. Stophcnson
was willing to allow his men to go to
work and willing to pay the wages
they asked , when another party flop
ped out and says no you must not pay
thcao wages , wo will procipatato a con
flict between the pouplo aud the mili
tary in Omaha rather thun allow you
to do ao. Si p Hieothe contractor who
is grading taruam street should decide
cido to pay his men § 2.00 , and ho was
auro to lose money in his contract ,
what right would anybody have to in
terfere ? There * is not a ahadow
of doubt but there is
AN INSIDE KINO
that got this contract with Stephen
son , for whom ho is simply acting ,
and this ring profcrq to put the atato
to expense rather than lese some of
its profits.
I do not propose to stoop to criticise
all that too * place at the state lopisla <
turo , because , according to The Re
publican , it was an entertainment ,
which ttooe gentlemen appeared to
enjoy. I do not care how much they
enjbyi'd it , There will bo another en
tertainment sooner or later when
wo will all bo there , and they will du
the dancing. [ Loud laughter and ap
plauao.J
What waa the excuse for sending
half a dozen brigadiers 'to Omaha ?
There were about 140 private aoldiera
and 120 officers in ono regiment , and
thio was n skeleton regiment. Ono
company , the Blue Springs artillery ,
only drew $50 , and another only
drew 870.
TUB INSl'KOTOU OKNKRAI.
of the state of Nebraska drew 813G
the sampler general , I mean and
then they hud to run up a bill of $114
for medicines , and I know a ureat deal
of that won for whisky. There waa
no oxcnso for paying all of these ille
gitimate expenses , They should have
been knocked out. Instnad of doing
thia , they entertained the house
for two days with a fan
dango , just simply making an on
slaught on ono individual at the ex
pense to the tax-payer * of $500 a
d0y. * * * * *
Right hero vro got to another point
which ought to bo drawn out sooner
or later , unhus wo abolish the entire
militia , the question is this , where
the line to be drawn between the
military and civil authority ! It seems
to mo that ao long as the civil author
ity can bo exorcised by its oflicera the
military authority cannot legally in-
tcrfuio. The military authority
should only atop inwhere the civil
authority is forcibly resisted.
IK TUB UKCKKT TIIOV11LKH
ho governor sent troops hero and
then went to work and placed in
command the mayor of Omaha. Can
the governor of thia state delegate
the powers which are alone vested in
him to any other man ? If ho can
delegate the powers to the mayor , the
mayor can in turn delegate that
power to the marshal and the marshal
to his deputy and his deputy can del-
cgato his power to | Mr. Qranacher ,
the jailor. I claim that the
governor has no authority
wha'over ' to place iu command of
these troops the mayor of Omaha.
Such things can only bo done in Ne
braska , and Nebraska has been made
the bntt of ridicule in every part of
thin UnUn for this costly military
dress parade.
WE JMrKAOHBD DAVK HUTLEH
for misdemeanors in office , and over
since that time wo have been going
down the scale with our governors un
til wo have ono now as fie to represent
this sUto us an Indian in front of a
tobacco store. He has no conception
of constitutional government and
lacks every quality of a chief execu
tive.
1 should have been very glad to
have met Mr. Battlett right here ,
face to iaco with his constituent : ' . On
the floor of the houao he was entirely
free from responsibility. The consti
tution of the stile guarantees him
immunity from all liability for words
spoken iu dobate. IIo may call
men murderers , cutthroats , incendi
aries , or anything ho pleases. Ho
took that liberty of speech which be
longs to representatives of the people.
But it is right , when ho misuses that
liberty , for his constituents to call
him to account. You have a right to
ask him whether what ho stated on
that iloor was comporting with the
dignity of a representative , and
whether ho did justice to the people
who conr him. fie is not here , and
we will leave him to those who hold
him responsible , when the right time
comes. [ Loud and prolonged cheer
ing. ]
J1U. JOHN QUJNK
being called for , stepped on the stage
and said :
MR. CHAIRMAN AND FELLOW Cm
ZENS : I don't know that J have got a
Croat deal to say upon the subject' . In
fict , I think you all know just about
a ! ) much as I do , because you have all
boon in Omaha during the late trouble ,
I have no dpubt jou understand it
just as well as Mr. Bat-Holt. Most of
you have been at the dump ( laughter )
and know what occurred there.
1 do not think this mooting is very
proper. I think it ' is altogether im
proper. It docs 'such legal cquirta
and law lawyora too much honor to
notice them.
I am not at all surprised that Mr ,
Bartlett declined your invitation , for
as Mr. Il'jsouftter says a reprenenta-
tive dotrn in Lincoln has the privilege
to lie. Well , I propose ta take the
same privilege to speak
TUB 1 HUTU ,
and toll Mr. Bartlett that ho lies , and
if I had been a 'representative and
lied au ho had lied I certainly would
have declined the invitation.
( Loud laughter. ) It is nothing very
singular to find ono of his profession
lyinp ; that ia ono of the chief tenets
of their profession , It would have
been much morostranco if any ono
had diecovorod him tolling the truth.
I don't know why he lied. We all
know ho did , and why ho did ho
knows himself.
Wo frequently rend about
J'ltOMISlNO YOUTHS
o ming from tno east who are Euro to
make a mark in the west , in Omaha ,
If they come , what do they bring with
them , and what do they do ? Do they
go into the grocery business , or do
they engage in manufactures ? They
bring with , them nothing but their
cheek , and they go into law. Wo
have had a great many of those people
ple como into this city. I have been
here fifteen years , and I have road of
their coining ; the reporters always ,
notice them.
Mr , Battlott would not como on the
Sabbath. _ It is the Lord's Day , It is
the workingman'a day , and Gad gave
it to the workingman because the cap
italists would not. [ Loud cheers. ]
Returning to the promising young
men the next thing they do , they go
and put on
onA
A I'AlU OF aOClOLKS ,
attend church meetings and gflt nil the
old ladies to think he is a splendid
young mm. ( Loud laughter , ) Hois
reading law with an eminent lawyer ,
and then the firat thing wo find ho ia
running for ofiicovHe is the very
party to misrepresent the people at
[ jincoln although ho proposes to represent -
present them. The result is that ho
goes to Lincoln to represent the people -
plo aud misreprchonta them , and the
people iu electing him to be their ser
vant very soon discover that he is
their master , or assumes to be their
master.
Now Mr. Bartlett was a great work-
lugmon's champion some
YEAIIX ADO
and I suppose if ho had the opportu
nity to reconsider hia action ho would
till bo a norklngraen'a champion.
Yon all ia\r that hu eulogii d do-
ceaso.l member * , but ho left Lincoln
! and throw away a rare opportunity
j before the adjournment , llo did not
j I deliver hii own valedictory address.
' Ho forgot that ho ia just as dead po
litically _ as the other men wore whom
ho eulogized.
Who i responsible for Bartlott'-
miarepreaontations ? Wo are the para
ties. Wo are responsible nnd not Mr.
Barlott , as wo sonk him to Lincoln.
If ho had como hero ho might have
explained and yet not have explained.
ThcBO lawyers and politicians have a
peculiar faculty of appearing to explain -
plain when in reality they explain
nothing.
I will refer to another gentleman
who endeavored to explain at Wash
ington ,
HENATOn VAN WYCK.
You all know we went to hoar'him.
llo occuoied half an hour tolling us
about the greatness of our country ,
olc ; but did ho toll us what he
thought about Governor Nance , or
the conduct of the city authorities ?
Oh , no ! When ho wns asked what ho
thought of the killing of Armstrong ,
he-replied with great levity , unbecom
ing a senator : ho supposed' that ho
took hold of the wrong end of the gun ,
nnd senators always explain that way.
Thu senator had explained that ho
could not vote for
THE CUINESE DILI ,
on account of the Burlingumo treaty.
It was the first time ho discovered
that troates were'like the lawa of the
Modes aud the Persians , unalterable.
But the senator said that nothing
could bo done because of that treaty.
Who didn't ho bring in a bill to
modify the treat } ? It is the way
with these politicians tc go on tickling
the ears of the working people , and I
know thin is what Bartlett has been
doing. I have no hesitation in saying
that the report that Mr. Rosewater
put in was true , every word of it , and
was the only true report , and was the
only report that should have gone into
the archives of the state.
It will bo your care to Bee , as well
as mine , that when these men come fy
up again that wo got along without > "
men of their class , and see whether f *
other people ' *
CANNOT UEIUtKSENT
us as well as such lawyers do , because
they have not represented us yet.
They have always represented them
selves.
Statesmanship seems to be on the
decline , as well as patriptiem , which
appears now to bo nothing but a do-
Biro to share public plunder. It is
part of our duty en purify this state
of things. [ Oheorr. ]

Messrs. Wanglcr Bros. , Druggists ,
Waterloo , Iowa , write : We have been
in the Drug business for fifteen years
in di Heron t parts ot America , and
never before have wo sold any medi
cine that gave such general satisfac
tion as St. Jacebs Oil , or whose sales
could over distinctly compare with
the extraordinary "run" which this
incomparable remedy enjoys ; and in
proof of its wonderful ellicacy there
would be no trouble whatever for as
to obtain five hundred testimonials
in favor of St. Jacobs Oil. Wo re
new our personal endorsement of the
strong claims of this Great German
Remedy , in recommending it to euf
fercrs with Rheumatism and all pain
ful diseases.
