Tin : following advertisement appeared
in n Denver paper of last Saturday :
WANTKD A Newspaper In which n cltlzou
nnd tax-payer can express bis vlawa and opin

Omaha tax-payers do not have to go
the expense .of paying for such adver

in Omaha in which a tax-payer may express -
press his views on public afFir.ra frco of

KKNTUCKY judges do not hold enviable

from which ho o'scapcd , and it is now re
ported that ho is out gunning for Judge
Pryor. Wo advise the judges of Ken

Dow.v in Yazoo the compliments of the
season wore passed between a number of
colored men and white gontloinon on
Christmas. It is the first time in the
history of Mississippi that the colored
man's revolver wont off before the white

Yazoo was called as a coroner's jury , and
they carao to the conclusion'that this little -
tlo quarrel , in which several gentlemen
wore killed , vrns duo to n moro difference
of ppinion.
Ix his lecture on America Oscar Wilde
states thnt the national game of this
country is ouchro. This shows that
Oscar did not learn very much about
America after all. Ho has done the
United States an injustice in giving euchre

gets to mention any thing about the bunko
game , to which ho was introduced in Now
Yrk by Hungry Joo. It is very likely
that ho was a loser at poker , as ho was at
Imnko , and hence ho intentionally omits
mention of those games.
SHALL it bo peace or war ? That is the
question which agitates railroad men in
this part of the country , as well as the
.business man. That the Iowa pool is
near its end , everybody concedes. The
only problem now is whether the tripartite
pool will take the place of the Iowa pool ,
or whether wo shall Imvo two pools , and
. a war of rates. While this section of
the country has born compelled to sub
mid to n good deal of extortion and un
just discrimination at the hands of the
Iowa pool , a rate war is by no moans do
sirablo.
Tux Chinese are knocking the chiding
out of American eagles. They put ton
dollar gold pioccu on a email lathe and
with a hard tool like a fine graver's tool
they Jiollow the middle as deftly as it is
possible to do it. They fill the cavity
with a mixture of platinum and lead , ro-
mill the coin , gild its edge , and the work
is dono. The coin is equal in weight ta
the genuine , and by eomo deft process
the original ring is preserved. They
take from a ten dollar picco thrco dollars
and fifty cents. Their work is almost per
fect , but they arc closely witched , and
their natural timidity keeps the nuiubot
of "artUU" email Jndeod , It is quite
likely , however , tliut n largo numboi
of laundryinon will abandon their busl <
nes and eelablish branch mints. Oiuaht
may possibly get a mint in this way.
THK TJIADK SITUATION.
The present dejirojsion in commercial
circlet is duo mainly to speculation and
ovor-production. Ilailway securities have
boon expanded by watering the stock ,
nnd by fraudulent manipulations until
thoyhnvobccomoso inflated thnt thoiract-
unl value is not moro than ono-hnlf of the
quotations. Investors * becoming aware
of this fact , have gradually stopped put
ting money into any class of securities
subject to the variations of gambling.
The result has boon that the big holders
of such securities have boon obliged to
como down. The probable shrinkage in
railway securities alone during the last
sixty days has boon equal to two billion
dollars.
It is a natural consequence that such
an enormous shrinkage in anyuommoc'ity
causes a general depression in values.
The overproduction of all classes of man
ufactured articles , moro especially of iron ,
is largely in excess of the demand. The
industrial situation has nlnn become
somewhat blocked. An unusually largo
number of operatives have been thrown
out tit employment in the coal and iron
districts of Pennsylvania nnd in the Now
Enghnd factories. In some instances
the manufacturer/ / made a readjust
ment of wages. Slight reductions have
boon made , nnd the workers continue.
In other instances the capitalists have
thought host to close the doors of their
factories. This is the worst feature of
our syntom. The manufacturing mo-
nopolisU , who make fortunes in times of
prosporityand when everything is boom
ing , close the doors of their factories
when there is no longer any profit in the
business. Havintr pocketed the profits
of a prosperous season , they care no
longer for their operatives. Hathor
than continue work and give them a
chance to bridge over a dull period , even
though there is no money in it for the
cmployero , they throw thorn out until
affairs brighten up. When it comes to a
question of loss , it is the workingman
who has to stand it in nine cases out of
ten.
ten.As
As to the general outlook there is no
danger of n panic. Our currency is of
the most stable character , and is worth
ono hundred cents on the dollar. Thcro
is n general stability so far ns real estate
values are concerned. There has boon
an immense cutting down of debt
municipal , state and national. There
can bo no such panic as occurred in 1873 ,
For a time it may ho close work for busi
ness men and for manufacturers of all
classes. A good season , or a good har
vest , or n resumption of work in the
factories , will bring everything
out in good shapo. A war in Europe ,
which is not unlikely to break out at any
time , would immediately revive commerce -
morco in this country to a wonderful do-
groo. By retrenchment nnd economy
the commercial interests of our country
have boon shaped so as to avert a general
financial crash. Quito a number of the
heaviest bnsinoss features in the largo
eastern cities have boon duo not so much
to the depression of trade as to the mania
for speculation. As a rule business men
who have attended to their legitimate
dealings , nnd not meddled with outside
ventures , are safo. And those men nro
not by any moans despondent of the
future.
The west has no reason to grumble
The causes of the temporary eastern de
pression do not materially affect the busi
ness contoro of the west. Hero wo nro
moro dependent upon agriculture and
live stock. Our farmers , as a class , nro
hotter off now than they have boon for
years. This , of course , infuses confidence -
donco among trades people. It is also a
noticeable fact that there nro compara
tively few heavy business failures in the
west. This is very likely duo in a great
measure to the fact that our fnr-westera
morcjmnta nro remote from the great
speculative centers of the east nnd have
had little or no opportunity and but
slight inclination , if any , to dnbblo in
risky stocks.
WHU.K Iowa has drawn no capital
prizes in Carlisle's Christmas distribution
she cannot complain of being entirely
loft out. Mr. Kaseon ha boon assigned

HcCoid on judiciary ; Mr. Hondorson on

tVollor on agriculture and war claims ;
\lr. \ Strublo is on territories nnd pensions ;
tfr. Hepburn on patonta , and Mr. Holmes
m invalid pensions and enrolled bills ;
Tudgo Murphy on railways and canals
ind rivera and harbors. This assignment
is not only very gratifying to Judge Mut
iny , but It is an act of friendly fooling
o the Hcnnopln canal. The judge is
devoted heart nnd soul to this canal , nnd
Mr. Carlisle has put him in where ho can
bo of most use to it. Judge Murphy is
moro.pleased to bo where ho can help the
canal than ho is over the compliment
paid him , a now member , in assigning
Mm to these two important committees.
IlUTi.KH is setting all his machi
nery in motion to punish the democratic
loaders who refused to follow him , A
few days ago ho hold a consultation with
some of the editors who conduct organs
of the defunct grconoack party. Among
those was Orandall , the editor of The
Mittonal View , Ho had heretofore
boon very pronounced against Butler ,
but ia said to have boon conciliated. A
call ] ian since been issued for a national
convention , to mcot at Washington on
the first day of May. The object of the
call is the nomination of Butler for the
presidency , as the standard-beaver of thu
grcenbackors , knights of labor , the
grangers , independents , prolubitionUts ,
nnd other elements thnt desire to rally
under Sutler's standard. The evident
object is to compel the democracy to endorse -
dorso that nomination in Juno or lake
the risk of defeat. The chances are thnt
they will take Jhat risk.
TllK LAHOll QVKST10N.
The question is now being raised in
the east whether this country shall have
protection against imported labor ns well
as against importsd wares nnd commodi
ties. Some months ngo when n largo
number of Italians and Russian Jown en
tered into active competition in Now
York , n revolt was raised nmong the
freight handlers and dock hands in that
city against this cheap imported labor.
For weeks there wcro rioto nearly every
day in the streets of Now York , but
finally the excitement subsided , and the
imported labor bccamo Americanized
enough to demand higher pay than they
at first received. Matters wore then
equalized , And now wo lonrn that simi
lar labor troubles have arisen in the
Connnllsvillo coke region of Pennsylva
nia. War has boon declared by the min
ors and laboring men of that section
against the Hungarians and Slavonians ,
and the cry has gone forth that "thoy
must go. " A manifesto has boon issued
which charges these people with crowd
ing out the minors and laborers who are
established , and good citizens , from
employment and homes. It is charged
that they nro extremely , filthy in their
habits , and live on what the American
people cannot cat. Their habits grow
womo the longer they stay , until they
can no longer bo cndurod , Their morals
are said to bo the lowest of any Cauca
sian race , and their intelligence
lower than that of the Chinese. Only
about five per cent can road and write ,
and they will not become naturalized cit
izens , but with all the cash they can nnvo
they finally return to their own country.
"Thoso people , " says the manifesto ,
"aro degrading American \boraro l < an in
jury to our commerce , nnd n blot on the
commonwealth not to bo ondurod.
American labor ns wall ns American
manufactures must bo protected. " Hero
wo have substantially the same complaint
against white immigrants from southern
Europe thnt has been made by Denis Kear
ney and his followers against the Chinese
on the Pacific coast. And this brings us to
the question , where is the line to bo
drawn ? If nny ono class of people -
plo who como to this country to better
their condition can underbid the labor of
another class by reason of being moro
frugal , in food and dress , or by being ob-
stonrious and nblo to save by living in
wretched squalor , and subsisting upon
what othora would throw to the dogs , are
they to bo driven back ? Can wo estab
lish by any law or by any system of police
regulation what men shall wcnr , eat and
drink , nnd how they shall furnish their
homos ? This is not now a problem as to
the Chinese nlono , but with nearly all
foreigners. There are Irishman who
como to this country willing to live upon
food that the American laborer rejects
and willing to live in houses in which
Americana would not stable their cattle.
There are Germans , Scandinavians ,
Bohemians , Polandors , and people of all
races and all climes crowding into our
labor market , against whom the same
complaint might bo mado. It is not the
question of morals , nor of education , nor
of naturalization , that is at the bottom of
the outcry against cheap imported labor.
Dennis Kearney nnd his followers would
not insist that the Chinese must go on ac
count of their ignorance or their low
morals , or their refusal to vote at elec
tions , if it were not for tlio fact that the
Chinaman enters the labor market nt n
greater advantage over the white man ,
because ho can subsist on less costly food ,
dross in cheaper clothing , and work moro
hours than the white man for the same
monoy. It is the conflict between cheap
and high labor , and not between high
und low morals , or between education
and ignorance. To protect American
abor and to keep up high wages it is no
nger sutliciont to exclude foreign man-
factures by n high protective tariff , bo-
auso a high protective tariff begets man-
facturing monopolies and ovor- _
reduction , which in turn forces n
usponsion of manufacturing and keeps
lousands of workman unemployed dur-
ig- curtain seasons. High wages for six
nontlis and no work for the balance oft
ho year is worse than steady employ-
nont at low wngos all the year round.
'o ' maintain wages at uniformly fair rates
hero should bo nt * obstruction to commerce -
morco by extravagant tariffs. At present
iur factories nio over-stimulated , and
ivhun they produce moro than they soil
n America , they must close their doors
until their products are consumed ,
ilcantimo the unemployed laborer , the
'armor and other consumers , nro paying
two prices for everything they wear and.
'or the materials out of whioh their
louses nro built.
How UMJUATEKUI , nil these womau

ham , of Now York , who champions , their
causa nnd gees on the record in favor-

Tii5 | thing that most agitates the people

Senator Van Wyck has embarked upon
liis promised investigation of abuses con-
noctcd with the railroad land grants. The
senate adopted yesterday his resolution
calling upon the secretary of the interior
for information in relation to indemnity
grants which might have been or were
included in the original grants. Mr. In-
jails , who is the recognized defender of
the railroads and of the interior depart
ment against assaults of this kind , ob
jected to the language of the preamble to
Mr , Van Wyck's resolution , but his dis
satisfaction was removed by transforming
jpmo of its assertions into mere allega
tions. There is a very general de
mand for some moro precise nnd com
plete knowledge thnn the public now has
3f the history of the land grant opera
tions of the interior department , nnd
while it may bo true that Mr. Vnn
Wyck is over-suspicious , it is cqunlly
: lear that Mr. Ingalls rather prejudices
liis side of the case by hia marked readi
ness to moot and deny any nnd nil allega
tions of irregular or improper methods
in that department.
