CONOUIS.SMAX : JOHN P. FINKRTV , of
Chicago , who lia buon a life-long
democrat , id now delivering campaign
speeches in Ohio for Blaine and Logan ,
and ho is doing some excellent work. Ho
is an excellent orator and his visit to
Ohio will make thousands of votoa
among Trisli-Amcric.itia fortho republican
ticket , bath state and national.
A CORRESPONDENT of THE BEK thinks
there is as much need of a coal inspector
as there in of a gas inspector. Ho sug <
gesto that a coal inspector bo appointed ,
and that every ton of coal bo weighed on
the city scales. There certainly could bo
no harm in oandlinc ; the coal bunlnoos in
thin manner. It would satisfy the con
sumer at least that ho is getting full
weight. _ _ _ mm _ _ _ _ _ _ _
TUEIIE always are and there always
will bo moss-back grumblers in every
city , and Omaha has its aharo of thorn.
The Omaha moas-backa are now raisin ;
their periodic howl about too much ira
provomont. Aa a matter of fact the 1m
provomouts inado this year have no !
only given Omaha world-wide
n - reputa
tion , but hare kept this city from abso
lute collapses. With the Union Pacific
reduced to a moro nothing , and no pub
He improvements Omaha would hav
been as iht a ? a pancake , and moro clout
than Loavonworth.
COUNCILMAN WoomvouTii was vor ,
loud about calling the editor of the Br.i
into court to provo the charge that ho i
moro or less interested iu paving con
tracts and should thoioforo resign fron
the council. Bnt when the opportunity
was presented for his vindication in opoi
court Councilman Woodworth waived M
examination and had the case referred t <
the grand jury. Tina is a confession o
judgoent on its face. If Mr. Wood
worth was really desirous of clearing
himself before hia constituent * ho woult
have given full acopo to the investigittoi
in open court , whore his relations to the
contractors could bo fully inquired into.
JJy referring it to the grand jury , on the
advice of Air. Tliuraton , ho expects to
smother the charges in a star-chamber ,
Ho takes his chances of escaping througl
the grand jury the penalty imposed b ;
the law rather than throw daylight on tin
transactions which everybody knows ari
very questionable.
THE democrats of the Second congres
sional district of Wisconsin have nomi
nated General Edward Bragg , of Fen du
Lie. It is indeed a creditable nomina
tiou. General Bragg has boon in the na
tlonal legislature before from Wisconsin
having served iu the forty-fifth , forty
alxth and forty-seventh congresses , am
made a brilliant record. It will bo remembered
mombered that during the years 1877.78 ;
Lo giined considerable fa mo by his un
flinching attacks upon the southern brig
adiera , Ho served throughout the war ,
entering the volunteer army as captain
and being mustered out
PS brigadier-gen-
oral in October , 1805. Ho has always
been an active democratic politician , bu
lie baa Dover allowed liin politics to aworvo
him in his loyally to tljo flag fr which ho
fought ao gallantly. NotwithaUuding hii
excellent qualities , ho-vovor , his chances
/or success ia this campaign rue not very
encouraging , as the faction of Delaney
hU defeated rival for tie ! nomination , it
Utterly opposed to him , and the proba
bility is that a strong and papular repub
Jem will ba nominated Pftaintt him.
LAIUD'S APPEAL.
Congressman Laird is now ntumpinrj
lis diattict for rc-olection.and his appeals
ro cheifly made on the ground that sn a
republican ho is entitled to the cordial and
undivided support of loyal republicans.
Such an appeal from a clean Imndcd re
publican , who had earned popular respect
and confidence by a faithful dlochnrpo of
lis duty , would not have been made in
vain. Republicans , regardless of party
{ action or personal prejudice , would rally
around him and glory in his triumphant
re-election.
Mr. Laird in not such a republican can
didnto. His nomination two years ago
was procured by diaroputablo methods
against which the republican ! ) of the ncc-
end district had been in revolt for yearn ,
His election by .1 mcro plurality in a dis
trict that contains from 12,000 lo 15,000
republican majority was a rebuke that
should have relegated Mr. Laird to pti-
vato life forever. Moro than ton thou-
mnd republicans had repudiated Liird
through the ballot box , and had not Laird
traded republican candidates for the
legislature for democratic support
ho would , have boon defeated
oven iu that triangular race
This political juggler , who two yoaru ngo
was willing to give the democrats
United States senator in exchange for hia
own seat in congress , has the impudence
to appeal to loyal republicans in the natno
of the party for their individual support
Can republicans with any self-respect
support him ? Has ho shown himself
worthy of their confidence by his conduct
in and out of congrews ?
How did ho become the nominee this
time in the face of the remonstrance two
years ago ? Is it not notorious that James
Laird woa not then , and is not now , the
choice of the republicans of the second
district ? Did ho not procure his nomina
tlon two years ago and again this year by
the pass-book and the gravel train , by
bull-dozing , bribery and beer ?
Does a nomination fraudulently procur
ed bind any republicanor iiut not the duty
of reputable republicans to adminster n
moro emphatic rebuke than they did two
years ? This time there arc only two can
didatoa in the Hold , and Captain Stickol
does not yield to Mr. Laird in loyalty as
an American citizen , and hia character
and ability are beyond question. Bar
ring the question of Laird's fraudulent
nominations there are the very best
reasons why ho should not bo sent back
to congrcta this timo. First and
foremost ho ia a railroad lawyer
and does not represent the inter
ests of the district , His record in con
grcsa shows that all his promises of ro-
'arm and pledges to cut looaa from cor-
lor.ition influence amount to nothing.
His conduct in connection with the Stlnk-
ng Water pre-emption claims hna been
explained away to the satisfaction of his
strikers and associates , but no unpreju
diced person can justify his collusion
with a gang of land sharks who wanted
to deprive honest sottlora of their rights
hrough fraud and porjury. Mr. Laird
cannot shift the responsibility fir this
rascally transaction upon his relativca
and the affidavits of citizens and reports
of the government ofllcors show conclusively
sivoly that Laird was a party to this neFarious
Farious transaction and used his influence
na congressman to further his achomo.
Mr. Laird'a settlement of the Knovala
claims is ot a picco with his methods. II
will not boar close investigation , and nl
the explanation ! ! about thai
champagne supper are unsatisfactory.
Wo have already shown that Mr.
Laird'a absence from his seat iu congress
was n great deal moro frequent than his
presence , and his votes , whoa ho was in
hia scat , wcro not ouch as would com
mend him for ro-oloction. 11 iu frantic
appeals to republicans in the face of Urn
record should bo epurnod as an insult.
If the republican party of Nebraska is
over to bo regenerated and purified i
must send the Liirdn and the Thutstona
to the roar.
THE OHIO CAMPAIGN.
The tour of James G. Blalno througn
Ohio is a succession of enthusiastic ro
ceptioiu , which must indeed bo gratify
ing to the "Plumed Knight , " as well as
to the republicans of that state , towards
which all eyes are now turned. Ohio has
boon placed by calculating politicians
among the doubtful states , but the doubt
sooma to bo being rapidly owcpt array
and republicans , who owing to local Is
SUM , were on the fence or had decided ( o
vote with the democrats at the state
election , are now falling into lino. They
aoo the importance of voting the republican
lican ticket on the Mth of October , for i
the state should go democratic on tlm
day It would certainly have a depressing
influence upon the presidential election.
Mr. Blaino'a speeches , while brief , are
full of fire and life , and they are having
a stimulating effect. Meantime the can-
vats goes bravely on all over the stato.
Both parties are straining every nerve to
carry the election. The republicans are
encouraged not only by the presence of
Blaine , but by the fact thai
the domocratn have novcr carried
the state in a presidential year since
the Fremont campaign , The republicans
have , however , iu two successive cam
paigns in oil' years given the democrats
considerable power in the way of state ,
congressional and city oflices. It ia conceded
coded that , this year the prohibitionist
vote will cut but a email figure. It has
been gradually decreasing , until lost year ,
when it only footed up 8G2. ! ) They are
naturally republicans , and this year it is
maintained that a largo number of them
will vote the republican ticket. It U
estimated that at least : ) , COO of thorn
will help the ropublicana by their
ballots , leaving a little over 5,000
to vote the prohibitionist ticket. Butler's
followers are too few to affect the result.
Aa to the Gtrman voto' there is eonio
iltlo doubt , especially in Cincinnati ,
where for two years they have hrgoly
voted with the democrats owing to login-
alien taxing Daloons. List year the
domocralo eocurcd their yolo on the
nomine to liavo the ealoon law repealed ,
jut they did not do it for some reason or
other , ami hence the Germans nccuso
them of bad faith and are very much
dissatisfied with them. The naloou law ,
which has beoninopoiation foraomolittlo
time , Ima really produced a good effect
among the people for the reason that it
has been the moans of reducing the gen
eral taxation. AH this , it will bo acen ,
la greatly in favor of the republicans , and
among the Germans a much bettor feel
ing prevails. The Germans are being
hold pretty well in line by Sherman and
Ilassaurok , for whom they have alwayu
entertained the greatest respect. Fred
Uassaurok , with his influential Gorman
paper , has been making a gallr.ut fis
among his countrymen for Blaino. Carl
Schurz so far has made but little
headway among the Germans ,
who look upon him with considerable
suspicion.
Ohio ia ono of the largest wool grow
ing atatcs in the union , and naturally the
question of tariff figures prominently in
the campaign. Fortunately Mr. Blaine
and all the republican orators are hand
ling that question in a manner highly
satisfactory to the wool growers and the
mass of the pooplo. It ia claimed thai
on thia issue nlono the republicans are
pretty euro of regaining several congres
sional scats. A very full vote may bo
expected on the 14th of this month , out
the indications now are of the most en
couraging character for th6 republicans ,
and wo ahall bo greatly surprised if they
do not carry the state by a handsnmo ma
jority.
THE BEE AND THE PRINTERS.
If the roadorloss Omaha papers woulc
attend to their own business a little
moro and keep their noses out of the in
terior alTaira of THE BEB they would gel
along much better. Why they should
continue their stupid and vindictive
policy of attempting to build themselves
up by trying to pull THE BEE down , Is
incomprehensible , particularly after the
fruitless experience they have had it :
thia kind of business for the past ton
yoars. Thcro is not a thing done
in'jtliia oflico which ia not deliberate
ly lied about and misrepresent
ed. An insignificant walk-out of nine
printers occurred in the BEE oflluu on
Sunday evening , because ) the proprietor
auntainod the foreman in his act of dis
charging an agitator. These nine print-
orti composed about one-third of the
whole force of compositors. The BIE :
appeared cs usual ths next morning with
out calling on any outsiders , and wo did
not think the walk-out was of sufficient
importance to bo mentioned. Thia af
fair ia magnified by the Herald into the
following :
THE alleged unwarranted dischrugo o
D. 0. O'Kogan , a compositor on Tm
UEE , by the night foreman , E. S. Sooy ,
led to a fltriko in that oflico Sunday after
noon , twelve men walking out. Their
placeawore filled with union printers ,
and the morning edition came out ot
time as usual. There waa no trouble
with the day force , so the walk-out dit
not afloct the evening issue. The oxocu
tivu committee of the Omaha typ ograph
ical union were in conference with Mr
Ilonowator yesterday , and It ia not im
probable that ho will make arrangements
to pay the union echodulo to the nigh
force , and lot that portion of h'a ' ollicc
bo run by the regular prluta. (
The [ above is a tisauo of falsehood
from beginning to ond. In the firs
place only ulno printers walked out in
stead of twolve. In the next place th
union printers were not called in oa Sun
day to take- their place , but the morning
paper was gotten out with the assistance
of the day forco. There was a conference
once on Monday afternoon between th
executive committee of the typographic ! ,
tin ion and Mr. Rose water. The committc
called to say that they would like to ha'
the fight declared oft' , and resume amlc.\
bio relations between the BEE and tin
union. No concessions wora demanded
and the regulations of the ollico were dc
clared Batisfactory. They tendered th
services of union mon for &uch vacancies
as had not been filled. Their propositioi
was accepted , and five union printon
were placed at work. Nothing waa caii
about' ' the union "
'paying schedule , sim
ply bocatso the BEI : lias boon pivylni
nil along moro than the Jlcrald and Jtc
publlaui , In which oflices the unioi
scale is observed. THE BKE pays 3
cents for night work and 81 cents fo :
day composition. The Jlcrald and Jtc
vitlillcan pay 33 cents for night work
and day work ia being done in olho
printing houses for 30 conU. According
to the Herald THE BKK intends to pay
the union schedule. In that event wo
should have to redUce our
from 31 to 33 cents , whicl
wo do not propose to debut
but it is moro than probable , however
that the Herald and Jlcpubllcan may
have to coino up to THE BEE'H atandan
within the next sixty days , Wo do no
know whether the proprietors of those
papers countenance the underhanded am
contemptible course which their papers
have pursued In this matter , for they certainly
tainly have nothing to gain by it , and
they have simply sown dragon's tootl
that may at any time grow up to give
them serious trouble.
So far as TUB BIK : ia concerned their
malignant falsehoods have simply boon
aggravating , but have done us no harm ,
The differences between THE BEE run
the typographical union are now amica
bly adjusted , aud the desire of our woult
bo arrivals to keep THE BEE in hot water
with the working people hia utterly
failed.
"Ax anxious parent" suggests in ar
other column of THE BEE that the high
school building bo supplied with stand
p'pcs. ' TUB Bnn hcntlily endorses ( ha
suggestion , and hopes that tha "board cf
education will take Immediate action In
thia important matter. Several of the
business buildings of Omaha among the
number bains ono of the hotels nnd the
opera house have had stand-pipes
erected , and others are to bo supplied in
a similar way. Tha stand-pipes not only
nsiiro the elevation of the water , but
, hey also nerve In the capacity of fire-
escapes for the occupants of a building.
The high-Bchool building is ono of the
most beautiful and costly structures in
Omaha , and ia , the pride of the city.
It certainly ought to hayo every pro
tection. It in located upon on elevation
which makes the throwing of water to
the top story rather a diflicult matter.
With a stand-pipo , however , wo bcliovo
the water could bo easily raised to any
floor , and the firemen could reach nnd
liandlo a fire with much moro oaso. In
fact , wo believe that there ought fo bo
four atand-pipca attached to this building
one on each end , and ono on each oido.
But moro Important than the protection
of the building ia the safety of the chil
dren , which would bo well provided for
by these four fire escapes. In this con
nection , wo would olao suggest to the wa
ter worka company that it ought tq build
a stand-pipe reservoir , in order to give
moro pressure at the high points on Cap
itol hill and on the South Omaha hills.
IN accordance with the BEE'H sugges
tion , the Nebraska republican state cen
tral committee ia making an effort to in
duce James G , Blaine to visit Omaha and
address the republicans of this city and
vicinity. It ia hoped that the committee
will succeed. Mr. Blaino'a presence in
Omaha would draw an immonao crowd
from all parta of the stale , and would
have an enthusiastic effect. If Mr.
Blaine comes as far west as Iowa ho cer
tainly ought to visit the metropolis of
Nebraska which has always been such a
warm supportorof the "Plumed Knipht. "
THE men who are making such a
racket about the Farnam street grade are
the mon who have cither done nothing to
assist that improvement , or have actually
obstructed it at every stop.
The Dutyof Colored Men ,
Mr. Editor.
Pleaao lot mo have spaca in your paper
to aay a few words in behalf of the col
ored people in the state of Nebraska.
Firat , I will aay that I am not a politi
cian but have some interest in my fellowmen
mon and desire to see a pure republican
government. I doairo to say a word to
the thinking politician to take into con-
consideration the condition of the col
ored voters , aa they are a creed among
the political parties for reform. Aa a
race I think that a little reform can bo
had in the interest of the colored voters
of the frco and independent otato of Ne
braska , an a race they recognize that edu
cation and industry-are the foundation of
all good and prosperous government ,
What good ia education it not cultivated
or have any chance to do so ? What good
would the colored soldiers bo , by being
armed with guns auo not use them ? So it is
with their education. What good is it if
not allowed to bo made use of ? You give
them a fair chance to uao the muskets.
Why not give them equally aa good
chance to use the education that you give
them ? Give them a chance to improve
into the various arta , eciencos and
branches of trade like other nationalities.
There are aomo among the colored voters
that have a good business education and
are capable of being book-keepers , clerks ,
toachora , doinc any canvassing ; you will
find every branch of business. Men are
interested in it ono way or the other.
You will BOO merchants , manufacturers ,
machinists , are all interested in the tick-
eta that are in the field and they are all
now a friend to the colored voters. Yes ,
they come on election day and ask the
colored votora to vote for such a
man , if ho happens to bo
on the republican ticket , then they
will say that such n man is a good re
publican , if ho happens to bo on another
the plea will bo ho ia a friend to the col
ored pooplo. Lot any of the colored
men and women go around to the various
places , I mean these that pro capable of
baring a position , after election and aak
for oven the Ion-oat position , then wo see
how much of a friend these same ones
are no , they cannot give you n place.
They will make about a dozen excuses ,
after all it will bo on account of color
that they are not employed. Hero aru
manufacturers that employ mon , women ,
boya and girls , aud in some canes wo find
they ate promoted according aa they
learn. Can we sco oven a colored boy or
cirl employed in any of these instances ]
Wo cannot. Have the colored people
any chance of making themselves useful
when all the main avenues are shut
against thorn ?
Some are capable of being clerks and
teachers. They ro barred out of being
employed on account of color. Wo have
among us colored machinists that are
willing to work at their trade , and sonic
of all trades are hero iu thia free atato of
Nebraska but are deprived of being
given work on account of color. Some
say why not you do business among
yourselves. I will aay if wo had the
wealth that belongs to us , that what our
fore parents earned wo could do _ business
among ourselves , at the same time will
it ba a pure republican government , it
would moro like a selfish government , to
do all its business only with ono class of
citizens. I do not believe in free tarflia
but I believe in a free government , a
government that will protect homo Indus
triea and its royal citizens , a government
that have a pure principle and act with
principles. A government that looks not
on a man's color , buthiaquallQcatianaaaa
citizen. Agoverumont thatrocognizes every
inanand woman that ia a citizen regard-
IOIB of race or color. A government that
will give every can and woman an equal
show , The colored soldier fought for
auch < t government and they look to the
republican party to carry out such repub
lican principles , and auch are the founds
tion of this government. Yes , the true
royal principle is n bat tha colnwl voters
want. They nro noi till eeoklag ollico
but they want a chance to usoiulncea in
the arts and sciences and their children
may grow up to ba useful. Wo have
some lint nro all for themselves and are
Booking ollico while others care not for
oflico if they can bo employed like other
mon aud womeii Tliciowai once a time
when colored men did all the wbito <
trade , Iho principal barber
barber shops , and waa em
ployed In all the restaurants
hotels as waiters and porters. Wo now
find that the whites are filling such posi
tions. So , why not divide it up and
give all employment regardless of color.
-The money that the colored mon have , it
all passes back to their cmployein from
whorn It camo. The colored people have
10 country , only this ono , that they
lave to send their money to. To think
after they have foutght tor the rights of
citizenship , and have stood loyal to all
; ho principles of a republican govern
ment and are declared by a republican
court , not being citizens particularly
when they were born in this country.
No , it is not the republican principles
and true loyal republicans will not stand
uid sco such a form of law. Ono thing
I will say in regard to personal rights na
For marrying. If there is a law that pro-
liibits n white from marrying a colored
lady or a white woman to marry
colored in an , I think then
thorn ought to bo n law to prohibit the
two races to llvo together secretly , and
bo prostitutes na ouch are doing , and it in
not with any honor in having auch. Id
it not bettor to lot the two marry and
llvo honorably in a respectable commun
ityor have all kinds of evil that is car
ried on. It is bettor to marry than burn ,
lot morality bo in our midst , protect the
young , nnd these that are old enough tenet
net and choosu for themselves , do ao in
nn honorable way. The reason I speak
of this ia , in Lincoln last fall a colored
woman was to marry a white man nnd
they placed her in jail and declared their
marriage was void. I only hear the col
ored men discussing the matter , nud
they thought it was unjust. 1 could
write if 1 was to go bacK what was denote
to our fore parents , nnd what they had
to do , but wo will not , wo are for
progression and for good government. If
there ia such a law ns they call the
"Black law" in the free state of Nebras
ka , lot the next legislature change it so
that complete liberty and exact equality
in the enjoyment of all civil , political and
public righta should bo established. Effi
cient nnd appropriate state and federal
legislation neither should admit any dis
crimination in respect of citizens by rea
son of race , creed or color , or previous
condition of servitude. There are now
different parties springing up and some of
thcso parties will take hold of these ques
tions and bring them into issue. So lot
the republicans take hold of that which
belongs to them. As I have Enid colored
voters have always stood true to the party
as a race , aud they are now willing to
sacrifice all they have for such a pure
government if should come to do so.

Through Natural Koclr.
Philadelphia Record.
A novel machine , designed for cutting
through natural rocks of granite , marble ,
sandstone , flint and slate as they lie iu
the earth , is now at work in the Catas-
auqua quarry of the Poach Bottom alato
worka. It is the invention of John
Crump , of thia city , and Bichurd Bnro-
relon , the superintendent of the quarry ,
and is styled the "rock quarrlcr and
atono-shaper , " under which nauio it han
been pptentcd in all countries. The
great advantage of the machine is in its
economy of material and timo. By the
now device from ten to twenty tons of
fine building stones now wasted for
every ton sent to market are saved and
the same work ia done in one-twentieth
of the time required in drilling and
blasting , The cutter looks like n great
coarse circular saw , which Is not driven
srom the center but from the outside cir-
pumsorenco. The machine now in ute ia
intended to work twelve cutter disks , 12-t
inches In diameter , on ono shaft driven
by ono boiler and engine. The whole
contrivance ia not unlike a railroad loco
motive with a huge circular saw in front.
ft runs backward , cutting upward , , in
stead of downward , and moves very
slowly. Flint and granite are cut by it
32 inches deep and 25 to 75 feet in
length per day , while through soft rock
in the same time the aaw will cut up to
300 feet.
Miracles of HoaUnf ; Unparalleled in

"I have been afflicted for twenty years with an
