SINCE when has the Jfcrald become a
great a defender of labor unions nm
labor in general ? When the Pittsburj
riota Tfero going on it wanted the work
ingmcn crushed out no matter Trha
means wcro employed. So it was also it
the labor troubles in Omaha and everywhere
whore else.
TUB absurd rumor that there is a pea <
aibility of the Union Pacific and Burling
ton forming an alliance haa again boor
boon started. Ifsuch an alliance ii
formed , it will bo like an alliance of water >
tor and oil , in which the oil , representing
-the Burlington , will always bo on top.
Tun BEE has no disposition to do ir
justice to Mr. James E. Boyd. Hi
claims that wo have overestimated tin
actual value of his property at § 500,000
the fact being , as ho saya , that it will fa !
§ 150,000 ahort of that amount. Mr
Boyd anscrta that ho paid ono per cent ,
of the acgregato taxes of 188 ! ! . Wo concede -
cede that thla is all wrong and an injus
tice to Mr. Boyd who probably does not
own more than ono thousandth part ol
the property of the county. This is tin
result of the low and unfair assessment ,
and Mr. Boyd's statements do not con.
trovort the fact that Mr. Doll docs nol
do his duty.
AMONO the articles in the Norl )
American Jtcuicw for September , thro (
in particular merit the serious considers
tion of everyone who studios the tenden
cies of our government. The loading one
is by Bishop J. Lancaster Spauldingwhc
insists that the only sure "Basis of Pop
ular Govorrmont" is morality , not culture
of the intellect , nor universal suffrage ,
nor the development of material resour
ces ; and that if the country is to be
eavod from ruin there roust bo a return
to the uncompromising moral cede of
of the founders of Now England. The
policy of "Tho Exclusion of the Chi
nese" is advocated by John ,11. Durst ,
who presents a striking array
of forcible and original ar
guments againts Mongolian immigra
tion. Four distinguished writers on po
litical economy , namely , David A. Wells ,
Thomas G. Shearman , J. B. Sargent ,
and Prof. W. G. Sumner , sot forth , from
every conceivable point of view , the
"Evihof the Tariir System ; " and it ic
announced that in the Jlcvicw for Octo
ber several writers of no less distinction
will exhibit the "Benefits of the Turin
System. " The other articles in the cur
rent number are "Tho Demand of the
Industrial Spirit , " by Oharloa Dudley
Warner ; "Inspiration and Infallibility , "
byllov. Dr. J. II. Rylanco ; "The Need
of Liberal Divorce Laws , " by Elizabotli
CadyStantonjond "Our Remote Ances

IN regard to tbo raise of 20 per cent it
the First-ward assessment , Judge Lalu
has r-ivon an opinion that evidence musl
1)0 taken to show that a district is relatively
tivoly low before it can bo legally raised
This may bo correct , but it does not controvert
trovort the statements of the BKK thai
Mr. Doll's assessments are not only out
raucously low but outrageously unfair it
many instances , If the First ward hat
an assessor who would make a fair am
honest assessment there would bo no no-
essity of equalizing that ward with the
others. That the First ward , aa a whole ,
ia assessed relatively much lower that :
the other wards , there is no question in
the minds of men who have taken paini
to look into this matter. The raise ol
20 per cent on the whole ward , while il
may have been done illegally according
to Judge Lako'a opinion , would work nc
injustice to any one. It ia simply putting
that ward on a level with the others , and
merely raises the Inequalities that alreadj
exist , without disturbing their relative
positions. To remedy the inequalities ol
individual assessments in that ward ,
whether the assessment is raised or re
duced , will require the election of i
man as assessor who will do hia wort
thoroughly and honestly , treating al
men alike. Will Judge Lake please tel
us who ia to pass upon the sufficiency o
the evidence , which ia required accord
ing to hia opinion , before a district assess
inent can be raised if it ia relatively toe
low ?
Now that the interest in the controversy
vorsy bolwofin the so-called printers
union and this paper has boon revived b'
the attempt to burn down this cilice , i
is timely to review the inconsistency an <
flagrant violations of union rules an <
principles by thc o typographots. Om
of the fundamental rules of every me
chnnic'a union is that only members o
the union are permitted to work side b ;
dido in any establishment or under an ]
employer. This is trtto of the brick
layers , the plasterers , tailors , moulders
and other craftsmen. Another rule i
that only a certain number 'of np
prentices are allowed in each concert
employing union mechanics , fine
only skilled mechanics are allowed , nftoi
a full period of apprenticeship , as masto :
workmen. Every union haa a scale o
prices below which no member is nllowci
to work.
The international typographical unioi
and all the subordinate unions ate re
quired to observe these regulations strict
ly , and only in extraordinary omorgcn
cios ia a suspension of the rules allowoi
and that only temporary. Now it is no
torious that for a number of years tin
Omaha typographical union has allowci
union ana non-union men to work in tin
same newspaper ofllco side by side. To
day there are union and non-union met
in the Herald and JicpubUcan ofllucs
just as there wcro in TUB BKK oflico before
fore the late strikeand aa there are now
Why then do these- printers want to dis
criminate against this oflico which hai
been maintained for years nearer to unior
rules and regulations than any oflico ir
this city ? It was in this ufllco that the
union was re-organized and ob <
tninod its strongest foot-hold ,
THE BEK has never used plates ,
except during the last strike. It ia nol
using plates now , while all the other dail
ies have used plates right along , and bj
submitting to the use of the platca the
rulca of the union have boon violated and
abrogated.
Because this paper has scpportcd la
bor in every vital issue during the pasl
ken years , and because it haa given i
lielping hand to labor'on every possible
accasion , and supported the workingmoti
in their political struggles , as well at
ugainst the aggression of capital , the
printers have imagined that they could
impose upon their friends and exact from
us what they would not demand from
any other oflico. The printers' acalo ol
prices two years ago was 33 centaporthpu
jand for night work , ami 30 conta for day
lomposition. Wo are now paying 3-1
conta for night work , and the Ucjnibli-
? an and Herald are paying 33 cents.
NVo are paying 31 conta for day work ,
while the printers only demanded 30.
[ n addition to all this wo have reduced
the quantity of bourgeois typo , to which
typo objection waa raised , and
liavo "fattened" the paper bj
adding a largo quantity ol
minion typo in which our telegraph re
port is now sot , together with a large
imount of miscellaneous matter. Tim
BKK is , without doubt , as "phat" a paper
is there is in Omaha , and wo boliova it
: o bo the fattest. What consistency or
leconoy , therefore , is there in calling out
irices "scab" wages when wo pay more
-ban the other papers , and furthermore
yhon wo do not discriminate against
inion mon ? Union men who want to
.vork In this oflico are allowed to do so ,
indor a permit from the union , and then
; hey are ordered out by the union. Why ,
f wo are paying "scab" wages , does the
inion allow its members to work hero at
ill ? The effect of all those inconsistencies
is to thoroughly demoralize and degrade
the union , not only among ita own respectable -
spoctablo members but among all other
unions of the diflnront trades. There is
not n union ollico in Omaha , and has not
boon for years. TJII : BKK has been the
icarost approach to a union oflico , and ia
; o-elny.
The Omaha union ia a bastard union ,
md violates its own regulations.
It haa no standard stjalo of prises , and
illowa ita members to accept wa eo below
: ho lowest Bcalo. It doca not restrict
ippronticoship , and haa admitted to
[ nomborahip boys and mon who uro ut
terly incompetent , and who have had
anly from six months to two years' ex
perience , whuroas it ia generally sup
posed that four years experience ia ro-
Huirod to make a competent printer.
1'ho Union pretends to have only respect-
iblo and orderly members , but it has ad
mitted tramps , vagrant * , drunkards , and
all aorta of outlawa. The union protondti
that the work of iU members la bettor
than that of anybody else , but every
"rat" in Omaha would bo admitted in
ton minutes to the union , if ho wore
willing to join , and thereupon ho would
immediately become a first class work ,
man. Admission to the union , It seems ,
makes the competent workmen , and
not skill or experience. II
Joes not live up to any international -
national funion rules , and allows it'
iclf to bo run by tramps and a gang of
political shysters , like Jason Lewis ,
who have not a grain of manhood or
principle in their composition , but who
use printer's Ink simply to blackmail
sandidates and hoodwink other working ,
mon into the belief that they are do-
rending the rights of labor. They area
sham and a fraud , and should not bo
jountenanced by respectable union mon.
TIIK conduct of tiioJIeratd and the
JJcpulllcan is n disgrace to journalism.
Wo do not believe that Mr. Richardson
ind Mr. Yost countenance or sympathize
with incendiaries , or would given oven
Indirect support to a sot of mon who have
waged this disreputable warfare upon
the BEK. Wo remember that when the
Herald building took fire the editors
nd the employes of this paper wore
promptly on hand to assist in carrying
out material , and otherwise assisting
It ia true that Mr. Argyle , the foromai
of the Jicpnbllcan , and Mt
Long , the telegraph editor o
that payer rendered material aid to Tn
lii ! : during the Sunday morning firoani
wo are indebted to them for their valuabl
atsistanco. But , on. the other hand , w
do not appreciate the insinuations am
nnuondocs of Mr. Jackman , of the Her
( d < l , and the city editor of that paporani
of Mr. O'Brien , the city editor of th
llcpublicun. Wo do not bcliovo that th
proprietors of these papers ondoran the !
utterances , nor would have al
lowed any such statements to ap
pear in their papers had the ;
been aware of the Intentions of their cm
ployco. O'Brien ia a contemptible sncal
who haa come to this oflico time am
time again to ask us to help him c.irr
out certain schemes to work up a ropu
talion for him as a detective , but when ,
gang of.guttersnipes , who pretend t
represent unionism , are arraigned by th
BKI ; ho rushes to their defense and stub
na in'.tho back , That's the kind of
cowardly sneak ho is. Ilia course ia \
diegraco to rpputablo journalism. Ii
any other city the newspapers wouli
denounce anything of this kind. W
do not ask for any sympathy , but wo di
not appreciate the sneora and abuse o
such whipper-snappers aa O'Brien am
Jackman , who have taken advantage o
their positions to stab us.
WAITING J-IOR THE DEFENSE
Wo have supposed the protection o
the school lands waa a sacred trust , ani
that public ofllcors would aavo thorn froi
spoliation with the same zeal the ;
would protect a parent's gravo. If re
ports are true the alleged syndicate an
the ollicors consenting are worse tha
ghouls who rob the graves of the doad. W
have been waiting to see the defense o
the state board. The facts alroad ,
stated rendered a defense from thor
absolutely necessary. The republican
aa a party cannot afford to keep quiet
The republican convention should denounce
nounco aucli outrages , and if the charge
nro true the guilty state oflicora shouli
bo Indicted instead of ro-nominatod.
Wo cannot consistently denounce thi
plundering of public lands by graspin ;
railroads , by foreign aristocrats and cat
tie syndicates , and quietly witness tin
more villainous robbery of our schoo
lands.
The members of the state board an
worn especially to protect the intorcsli
} f the people , and are paid for that pur
pose. Why is it that the fraud in Koitl
: ouuty was exposed by Its citizens ane
brought to light by its press ? Is it ox
poctcd of the private citizen that hi
ihall bo a guard and detective to protoc
the state from the ravages of its swori
lofondors ?
Wo are patiently waiting for the do
Fonso. It should bo made before the as
jombling of the state convention. Thot
the convention should act fearlessly , denounce
nounco the wrong if there bo any , aue
not reward defaulting or inefficient of
leers. Unless that is done , the pooph
nay hesitate to endorse- what the conven
tion does.
Lot the present state board justify lit
xmduct or stop down and but. The
nombora cannot plead ignorance. Thai
ilea will bo moro than ono of guilty ,
Neither can they hide behind the sub-
orfugo of a national campaign. The
lational ticket will take care of itself in
Nebraska. It requires no sacrifice ol
itato and local issues. Nothing , not
ivon the alleged misconduct of thoschool
> oard , can prevent a largo majority for
iilalno and Logan , so that the people ol
his state have nothing to do but keep
.heir own record clean and punish any
ittompt to rob the state of any portion ol
ts school lands.
If it is true these lands wore appraised
it twenty-five cents per aero and that
ract was known as it should bo by the
itato board and if it is also true that
ailroada landa were sold at throe to five
lollarti per aero in that county , which
'act Is known to all the people , certainly
ho defense Jor excuse of the board
rill bo watched with ercut anxiety.
TIIK Frowuns , who own immense herds
) f cattle in Wyoming and Montana , are
itill endeavoring to convert those terri-
orics into British provinces , by getting
.ho . British government to allow cattle
'roni these territories to bo shipped to
England without quarantine and other
ostrictions , provided they are sent over
.ho Canadian Pacific railway. Whether
.ho . British government will make an ox-
: option in favor of the Frew-
ins' proposed route remains
o bo soon. Perhaps our own govern-
nont may hare n word to say about this
natter. The shipment of Montana and
iVyomiug cattle by the Frowens' pro-
> osod route would certainly inflict
. heavy loss on American rail *
rays and stockyards. It is claimed
> y the Freivnns , who control 250,000
load of cattle , that the transit of
Imorican cattle by their route through
Canada will not six millions per annum ,
md that there will bo an outlay of half
hat amount in Canada for fodder , while
ho stock is in transit. It is not likely
hat American railway managers and
itockyards men will stand idly by and see
nilliona of dollars turned from their no
mstomod channel. Wo question whoth *
> r the Messrs. Frowon will over bo able
o carry out their scheme. They cannot
> xpect to obtain privilege * that are not
iccordcd to cattle mon in other torrito-
ies , besides Montana and Wyoming.
THE board of education should take
mmodiato steps to fit up rooms for jan
itors in the several schools that are now
icglcctod. This is essential for the pro *
orvatiou of the property from the depre
dations of gangs of ycung hoodlums who
crowd the yards and outbuildings ever
evening. In the Lcavenworth strcc
school n largo number of windows hav
bocn broken and the outbuildings straw
with filth. Gangs of young and grow
boys frequent the yard up to a Into hon
every night playing cards and bal
throwing stones and romping throug
the basement and upper floors of th
building , smoking cigar stumps or pipci
No ono interferes with them and a pc
liccman ia a stranger to the noighboi
hood. For the care and protection t
this school a janitor is paid about § 10
month and an extra allowance of SI
for rent to live elsewhere , while th
work of ruin goes on. The dostructio
of the buildings by fire Is not among th
impossibilities and the board shoul
either employ n man to guard the pec
plo's property during the evening hour
or compel the janitor to do it.
THE probabilities for to-day in Nobrae
ka are : Extreme heat ana violent politi
cal storms. Thoro.aro three ropublica
congressional conventions to bo hold.
The Labor Vote.
St , Louis OIobo-Dcinocrnt.
The certainty of the candidacy of O'er
Butler brings into prominence an element
mont of politics which has always boo
powerful , but also nlways heretofore
hidden force whoao mighty atrongth hn
been swallowed up , now hero , noi
there , firat by ono political organizatior
then by another , according as local intoi
ests or personal preferences swayed th
individuals composing it , but alway
carrying victory to the side on which i
fought and bringing defeat to its oppc
nonts. The terra labor vote is , as
general thing , used so indefinitely tha
it ia n matter of no small difficulty t
toll exactly what is meant by it. In on
sense , every man who earns his living i
a laborer , whether ho work with hi
hands or his wits , but the expression i
Eoldotn understood to have so broad a
acceptation.
As a rule , the labor vote is undcrstoo
to comprise these who work with thei
hands in some manufacturing or indue
trial occupation as the employes c
ethers , but oven this definition is nc
exact , since it would exclude many wh
labor in their own interest , and yet ar
as truly engaged in industrial occupation
as if they worked in manufactories. Th
small farmer , for Instance , would not
with his understanding of the term , b
counted as a laborer , though hia condi
tion may bo but slightly removed fron
that of his hired man ; nor would th
owner of a blacksmith shop , though h
himself might bo the solo employe. Th
difficulty is only partially removed whei
the laborer ia understood to bo the inoi
who works for wages , since n very larg
class of persons in this country recoivi
wages and do not consider themselves a
laborers , nor are they so regarded b ;
others.
The difficulty of drawing the lim
therefore- almost insuperable , but if wi
accept the statements of the tenth censu
without calling in question the moans bi
"
which these reslilts were attained , w"
shall find that there were in 1880 employed
ployed as "laborers , " the kind of labo
not specified , 1,85'J.223 persons , whiii
employed in industrial manufacture
there were 3,837,112 , making the labor
era of the country number 5.094,335 , o
about a tenth of -population. . Tin
entire voting population , according to tin
tenth census , was 12,830,340 , but tin
full voting strength has never boon called
od out by any election , the vote in 188 (
being 8,891,088 , or but-two thirds of thi
entire vote. It will thus bo aeon tha
if there bo but ono voter in ovorj
five of the laboring population , the laboi
vote will amount to one-eighth of the
entire popular vote , but the probabil
itlea are that the proportion ia much
Creator ; that at least ono-half of the la
borers are voters. Their political strongtl
Is thus enormous , if they only know it ,
but herototoro they have boon unable tc
concentrate their force , and it has gone
to one or the other of the two leading
parties. It is not likely that Gen. But
ler will poll any considerable part of the
laboring vote outside of certain limited
localities , but ho is a wonderful organizer
izor , and may develop an unexpected
strength among the laboring men , ovoi
outside of Now York and Now Jersey.
Ill Michigan.
Chicago lleralJ.
The political situation in Michigan ii
peculiar. General Garfiold's plurality n
: hat sUto was 53,000 and his hiaorit >
ivor both Hancock and Weaver about 20-
300. Since then a coalition of democrat * :
and grconbnckora haa carried the state ,
electing the governor and aovoral con
gressmen. The farmora and workingmen
jonorally are not now favorably disposed
xiward the republican party , with which
: hey have lotig acted , and there is a very
formidable prohibition movement in
progress which threatens to cut an im-
jortant figure in the approaching can
vass.
vass.Tho republican convention just hold at
Detroit made an effort tp harmonize all
.heso conflicting interests , but it wae
not wholly successful. * ' * Mr. Luce , put
'orward by the farmers as a candidate
for Governor , was defeated by General
Alger of Detroit , and then Luce waa
nominated for lieutenant governor.
Ufa positive refusal to accept the honor
may bo accepted as an indication that ho
is not entirely satisfied , and it is prob
able that the great interests which pre
sented his name will not bo particularly
enthusiastic in support of the man who
defeated him. An unrnis tali able bid foi
.ho suffrages of the prohibitionists is con
tained in the platform , ono plank of
which advocates the submission of the
question of temperance reform to a
popular vote. While this does not corn-
nit the party to that issue , and is , in
'act , only a convenient way of dodging
an important question in a year when it
s liable to make trouble , it is presumed
hat it will bo satisfactory to most pro-
libitionists ,
If Farmer Luce had consented to stand
is a candidate for lieutenant-governor
the republicans of Michigan might have
reason to congratulate themselves on their
diplomacy. As it is , the alienation of
he farmers , Groenbic era and working ,
lion has probably boon brought about
and only the prohibitionists have been
placated. Whether the first step toward
prohibition will attract moro voters to the
party than it repels , remains to ha soan.
General Algor does not appear to bo a
very heavy weight. His speech in the
convention accepting the nomination was
an amusing piece of fustian. "I would
rather , " said this doughty warrior , "lead
n cavalry charge against an enemy , than
'ace this assemblage. " So far as a stu
dent of war history may know to the
jontrary , General Algor , if asked to lead
\ cavalry charge , might plead that ho had
i good deal rather bo at home making a
political speech. He may be a good man ,
however , notwithstanding this silly aflcc
tation. If the democrats , grccnbackcr
and workingmen coalesce , as It is noi
thought they will , the campaign in Mich
igan will bo an interesting ono , wit !
something more than a possibility thn
Butler and Cleveland may divide th
oloctotal vote between them.
Koltli County School imiid FramU
Bl.itr Republican.
On last Wednesday an injunction wa
served on the county treasurer and cler ]
of Keith county , restraining them fron
issuing leases of the school Innd in Keitl
county. This injunction was sued outii
behalf of prominent citizens of Westeri
Nebraska , with A view to heading off om
of the moat stupendous frauds that wo
ever attempted in the stato. The histor
of the leases as shorn by the potitioi
filed in the district court of Keith county
presents a picture of wholesale briber ;
and corruption rarely witnessed. It i
alleged that ono Doran , of Omaha , A. G
Kendall , commissioner of public lands
U. 0. Bloasdalo , county clerk of Keith
and ethers , conspired fraudulently together
gothor to aocuro to themselves all tin
school landa in Keith county , ever 100,001
acres , at nominal figures , and in defiance
anco of law and justice. In furthoranci
of this scheme , II. 0. Bloasdalo appointed
od three appraisers , who , for a nomina
consideration , signed their names it
blank _ to the appraisement , and tin
values in said appraismont were after
ward filled out by Doran or his follow
conspirators. Ono of these appraiser ;
boasts that ho received ever § 500 foi
signing his name. No doubt the otheri
were paid in proportion , Bloasdalo ad
mils that his share in the traneactior
was $250 In cash , and several sections o :
the land * According to the leases these
lands have been leased at from (
to Oi per cent on a value of 40 to 7C
cents per acre , a mere fraction of thoii
real value. Their real value would bi
from § 3 to § 5 per aero , and they woule
bo readily taken at that price. [ No

There is little doubt that the above al
legations concerning our Land Oommia
sionor and his pals , contains a great doa
of truth. If the charges can bo proven
as above stated , condign punishmen
should folllw. Such public plundorori
are usually so clover in covering up thoii
crimes that though there is a moral certainty
tainty of their guilt , it is impossible t <
secure conviction. Not only this , butbj
the help of political confederates , thej
are whitewashed and continued in oflic <
to steal again the firat opportunity.
Wo have a solid and Influential ring o
such thieves in Nebraska , and its rarai
fication extends into every county , ant
some claim oven Gov. Dawes is impli
cated. For the good of our state ane
the republican party whicli they dis
grace , they ought to bo repudiated at oui
coming conventions. If not , by tin
voters at the polls.
A Monopolist's Candidate.
] Jca Moines Leader.
It is developed in the Fifth congress
ional district that "Tama Jim" Wilhon
waa defeated for re-nomination by ogunu
and interested parties evidently working
for the Washburn and Moon barbed win
monopolists. Wilson is interested In the
Farmer's Protective Association and has
vigorously fought for free wire in Iowa.
This is the principal reason why Mar
shall county revolted against him and
made the nomination of Smith , Judge
Hubbard's man , possible. Wilson indicated -
cated the causes of this opposition in hia
paper during the canvass a > s follows :
Ono of the chief owners of the Mar-
shalltown barb wire factory moved , in
in the Marshall county convention that
the delegates to the congressional convention
vontion do their utmost for Milo P.
Smith's nomination. Merritt Greene ia
oppcsod to James Wilson because James
Wilson is opposed to Merritt Greene's
gigantic monopoly and has fought it with
out fear or favor. Every railroad man ia
opposed to Wilson. They know his in-
luonco in the halls of legislation , hence
; heir opposition. Barb wire men hate
lim because ho was ono of the men that
aided in breaking up their nefarious
schemes to compel the farmora of Iowa to
pay them the or twelve conta for every
) ound of wire used. Marshallcown barb
wire _ mon and railway employea
combined manipulated the caucuses and
tent a united delegation in opposition to
Wilson , and the voters of the county have
illowod themselves to bo duped to vote
: or the men who , to say the least , are in
; ho interest of barb wire and railway mo
nopolies.
While the eulngy-paid to Mr Wilson
: akos on n rather roaoatn hue it is need-
ess to deny that the main point is cor
rectly sized up. Washburn & Moon
lave played many deep games in Iowa.
3omo have won and some have failed.
Wo do not believe that this corporation
can como into Iowa and dictate the

tricts.
