THE Omaha Tribune , a Gorman dally , has jusb celebrated its second birthday , and may now barcgarded as a permanent Institution. Under the able editorial management cf Mr. Sohnaoko the Tribune has made great s rides , and is receiving the hearty onppart of the best class of our Gorman population.

THE plank in the Mississippi domccralio platform favoring the giving of state pensions to dlaibled. confederate soldiers Is likely to cioalo a great deal of discussion. It is the opinion of a prominent lawyer that if Miislsslppl or any other state should attempt ta pension confederates In this manner , thorj would not only be strong objections raised , but numerous suits would result , owing to the injustice of taxing people for any such purpose. The collection of such a tax would very likely b3 resisted on the ground of ille gality , and the probability la that the tax-piyer would bo victorious , JUDGE FOBAKER , In his opening cam palgn speech , made cno of the blunder , commit led by John Sherman , and that was in defending John Roach and oharg Ing his "ruin" to the democratic adminis tration.

MENDELSSOHN AND MYERS. Until yesterday wo had ground for uiplclon , if not absolute belief , thn neatly all the racket m de by homo talon about the city hall placs emanated from Mr. Mendelssohn. Now wo hive no longer any doubt. Wo know that Mr Mendelssohn and no other person conli have inspired the uncalled for aisault as an architect , which has appeared in ono of our papsri. Mr. Mendelssohn came to Omaha from DJ troll and he hai taken it upon himself to show up Mr. Myora standing as an architect in that city His vaulting ambition to bo regarded a the peer of any architect in America loads him into an attempt to belittle Mr Myers , by reciting what ho has and wh\t ho baa not done in D troit. Mr. Myora has only lived in Detroit twelve yoari , and ho has doslgnoc only half a dozjn buildings in that city Ono of hla designs , that of a church , die not glvo satisfaction , This was a chape of Westminster Methodist church. I is true , says Mr. Mendelssohn , that Mr Myers designed the Michigan state capl tel at Lansing , but that waa the first and almost the last that ho was permitted tc do for the atato of Michigan. Ho wa given the plans fcr the construction o the capltol , but was not permitted tc have the superintendence of the asylum This , indeed , la a terrible arraignment But Mr. Myers will probably survive The slate of Michigan has had no occa slon to build moro thin ono c&pitol , one It is barely possible that just sue ! apltsfnl homo talent ai Mendelssohn may nave brought pressure to boar upon the board which had charge of the erec tion of the Pontiic asylum. There I nothing discreditable In the fact that Mr Myora has built only a dozen buildings In Detroit in twelve years. Mycn is n specialist on public buildings , and doe not pretend to compete with { ho tecond rate architect ! , who are slmpty ongsgot In creating and designing private rosl- dencJs and ordinary business housca. 1 would not pcy him to cmpolo with ths clais when he has a broader fiolc in public building ; . Hla standing in Michigan is a great deal bolter than that of Mendelssohn will bo In Nebraska if ho keeps up this controversy. Mr Myera is now building the city hall o Grand Rapids , which Is the second olty of Michigan. Ho is building the Texas capital , which Is to cost $3,000,000 , and has jast bcon awarded the contract for planning the capltol of Colorado toboorcct ed In Denver. Wo Imagine that there la just as competent arohlteota in Den ver as there is In Omaha. The Den ver buildings are superior to any in Omaha , but tha state board of public buildings in Colorado gave Mr. Myers the proferenoa over homo talent , because they have conGdonco in his ability , which has been proven in the erection of the Danvor court honso. If Mr. Mendels sohn had lived In Denver ho would prob ably have sDught to prevent the selection of Meyers. Now it Is extremely unkind and un professional in Mr. Mendelssohn to assail Mr. Myors in such a back-handed way. Mr. Myers did not force himself upon Omaha. His plans for tbo court house wora given proforanca over the ginger bread picture drawn by Mr. Mendelssohn and the doclsion of the commissioners has the approval of all disinterested tax payers. Hla admirable work on the court house justified Councilman Good rich , chairman of the committee required to select the plans , in inviting Mr. Myers to submit outline plans for the city hall providing he took the risk of tholr adoption , Mr. Myeis has ample patronage outside of Omaha , but this olty will be fortunate in securingHho ser vices of a man of his ability. Of all the architects In Omaha Men- dolsiohn should have boon the last to at tempt to belittle Mr. Myorj. Mr. Mou- dolesohn oitno hero from a Detroit archi tect's ofliso , and if Mr. Myera waa spite ful ho might ask of what great and costly buildings In Detroit was Mondelesalm the architect. Oertalaly no architect In Omaha has rocolved more generous treat ment than Mr. Mendelssohn. While ho was only reputed to be n skilled draufjhtt- rnan before ho cauio hero , ho baa almost at ono bound forced himself to the front as a first-class architect. Ho has fared very fottunatoly In his rivalry [ with other Omaha architects. Through his associa tion with Mr. ( Dufreno.ho csme Into prominence , and was given prefer ence over competitors. Ho haj no w moro business than ho can properly at tend to , i)3 should hvro boon content to let well enough alone. Ho was only re cently awarded the contract for tha beard of traio building over others who claim to have presjnted bitter plans , and today - day the board Is hampered ( n Ita Hurls to raise the money for the chamber cf com merce on account of the alleged favorite- Ism shown to him , With all this Mr , Mendelssohn does not seem to know when he is well off. Ho n y learn ere long that It is a very poor policy for a man to try to build himself np by trying to pull another man down , especially when that man is head and shudders aba vo him , ELEOriUOlTY AS AN ILLUMINANr The streets of Portland , Maine , ara soon to b ) entirely Illuminated with eloo- trlolty , which , It is oipected will abolish gai lam ; a from the city. Portland for merly used 408 gai 1'ghts ' and 125 naph tha lanterui , and oven then considerable illstrlcta werj left la th.3 darkness , For lomo Una pait , however , tha oUfzjns iiavo hi ! a taita of good serrlco in the > poratlon of 100 arj lamps , and now 25 nero are ( o ba placed , and the spares > n the outskirts , 01 well as Home lonl- ! ( s densely thidod bjr trees , supplied by ! 50 E-liiou "munijlpil" Incandescent ' amps from the ai'mo station. By this no ins the former wretched lighting Kill be replaced by a system which will make Portland th * best illuminated city in New- England , md one of tha bolt in the country , &s every gai and naptha lamp will bo removed. Limps of from 10 to DO candle power are to bo nstd as needed , and oparatol aa are llghlsaro io sotus , tholr circuit i being extended if neccsiary over lorg distances and supplied by a special Edison dynamo. The olty may thus bo limited nt the sama moment and the lamps extinguished In the mornln ? as quickly , thus dlsponting with attendance for these purposes. That this change has been made after the most careful consideration is evident when it Is re membered that two-fifths of the stock ei tha gas company Is owned by the city , and that no effort has been spared by tha gas Interests cutsldo the olty ownership to show the electric system too oxpenslvo for permanent adoption. Should tbo experiment provo successful , as it will In all probability , at Portland , the system will soon find Its way into every city of this country , Hlthorto the principal objections to electricity fet street illuminating purposes have been the uncertainty of the > llght and the ex pense , The electrician * , however , claim that they have overcome all defects' , and that the street light to ba introduced k Portland la simply perfect , and can bt depended upon for continuous illumlna tlon with CB much certainty as gas , while the expense will not bo any moro. It ii safe to say , thcroforo , that gas will soon ba auporsidul for all Illuminating pur poses by electricity , and the change will bo hailed with delight by the victims ol noxloua smells and exorbitant bills , which the wily gajomotcr has been taughl so well to build up oich month. OUR "RAILWAY REGULATORS. " The throe $2,000 secretaries , Mctsn. Gore , Oowdry and Basohow , together with State Treasurer Willard and Aud itor Babcock , recently completed a jank- otlng tour over tbo Union Pacific. The parly , which would have been complete had Governor Dawoa been included , ex tended ita "railway investigations" tc Ohfyouno , ia Wyoming. The eminent "railway regulators , " aa they are called by the Ohoyenno Sun , rolled into Gkov- onno in regal style In tholr "vory hand some coach , " the private car of Charles Francis Adams on last Sunday evening , and were given a drive about the city. The Sun Informs us that "all expressed the greatest admiration for the city , and said , in response to a remark , that the ono thing moat needed was a depot , that If Cheyenne were in Nebmka the depot would come in a hurry. " This kind of talk from the Nebraska railway commissioners may do in Wyoming , but it won't do In Nebraska , How about the Union Pacific oowahed in Omaha ? Is that much-needed new depot coming in a hurry ? Wo should say not. It la not coming in any moro of a hurry than the depot in Cheyenne. It would seem that the Nebraska railway oornm'sjlonors are fcbout as powerful In Wyoming as they are in their own state. The Sun was also equally mlslnformedby the voracious commissioners on other points. It was told that the duties of the commitEloccra "aro to stand between the railroads and the people , and too that jus tice is done to both. " If that is tbo caio , then why don't they do their duty ? The Sun wss also led to say that they both prevent discriminations against particular localities by tha rail roads , end also stand In the way of hasty or uncalled-for legislation detrimen tal to the roadt ? " So far as unjajt discrimination ! ] are concerned , fray prevent nothing of the kind. The people have no confidence whatever in them , well knowing that their complaint ] will ba pigeon-holed , and that they will 33 told that they must Book the courts 'or relief. They know that aorao excuse will bo framed to dclsy notion. As to 10 if the commltalon will act regarding railroad legislation , that cm only bo do tormlnod In the future , but wo venture to say that when the matter comes to a toitthey will ba found working In the interest of the r&llroads , for whoso benefit < ha commit slon was notoriously created. The Oboyenno paper concludes its laudatory article with the statement that "tho gentlemen compos- ng the Nebraska commission are al prcminont in tholr state , and of such rep utation for fairness that their selection is mrut heartily approved by the people and > rees , " Mr. Gare probably put that in. There is no paper In Nebraska that would jive him such a strong endorsement ex- opt the Lincoln Journal , in which the Sun's article will probably bo reproduced. FOOD ADULTERATIONS. People generally have no idea of the xtent to which the trade In adulterated miter is being carried on. Uleom rgar- no ani buttorlno are now irudo BO perfectly in imitation of creamery butter hat it ii difficult for the consumer to toll ho difTaruno between the bogui and enulna articles. Some months ago at n exposition In India a simple of Amer- ctn bogus bnltsr took the first premium or creamery , and the fraud was not dle- o ercd until aomo time afterrrards. A ecuit Invtat'gitlon In Chicago showed bat out of thlity tamplej purchased at aliens phoas In that city and labled and Bold as pure creamery batter "received fresh every day from the counliy" snly thrco proved to be genuine butter. Pecpodouot ! care how much of this stuff la manufactured if It la only properly labeled and sold for just what it If , Lui the practice of palming off these compounds for pure buttjr is sim ply obtaining monty under false pre tenses. It is a crime , and oan uo chubbbo punished. While tbo manufac ture of oleomargarlno and bntlorine can- ait bo etoppod , the msuofactarors can fory caiily ba prevented frcru tolling ttolr products under false names. There [ a a ? av in Illinois which cojipels the manufacturerj to brand their product ! with their right names , bat the lair in that state Is evidently n dead letter. It is about time that it should bo enfoicad , and it would bo il the producers of pure bnltar in that state would combine and take the matter In hand. If they do not do it iho adultera tions will continue to ilood the markolt as wall ai the country groceries , through out the west and northwest. Bat butttr Is not the only article ol food that Is being extensively adulterated and sold for "puro goods , " There IB hardly any article of general use that la cot In sorao way imitated or adulterated with deleterious ingredients , This business , whioh it certainly damsg- ing to honest Industry and harmful to the consumer , should bo checked in some way , but no long as U yields enormous profits and makes Immense fortunes for these en gaged in It , it will bo a difficult matter tc put n stop to it. Mr. Oolman , the com mit sion or of agriculture , in his address before the onnuil convention of the asso ciation of official agricultural chemists , discussed this subject in a very practical manner , and his suggestions will bo heart ily endorsed by the honest producers and the consumer * . Mr. Oolman nrgea co operation on the part of tha general gov ernment with the atato governments In passing etringent lawa cgalnst adultera tions of food , and ho thought that there should bo a fixed standard of purity and established methods for the detection of adulterations. THE city council ia ( lightly muddled about the city hall matter. The ordi nance pinscd nearly two months ego , which located the city hall on the corner of Eighteenth and Farnatn etroots , makoa It the dulv of the committee on public propotty and Improvements , in conjunc tion with the city engineer , to prccnro suitable plans for the bnlHIng , and after these plans have boon approved by the board of education to submit them for final adoption to the council. The ordi nance leaves the cholco of rnaani for pro curing pUn& entirely with the committee. It do ca not require the ccmmitteo to advor tiao for competitive plans. The employ ment of the architect la left entirely to ita judgment. The ordlnanco Is still in forca and cannot bo rcpoilcd or changed by resolution , if it can bo repealed at all. Mayor Boyd and the board of education have signed a contract under Its provis ions and wo doubt whether power exists in the council to amend or abrogate it. All it can do Is to reject the plans if they don't ' suit. Now that the § 2,000 secretaries of the railway commission have completed their tout over the Union Pacific and its branches in Nobratka wo shall soon look for as big a pafTfor the mansgers of that road as was recently given to the B. & M. management. ; t.Tho Sioux Olty it Pa cific will of course bo treated in the name manner when its turn cornea. Tha tecro- tnrlea of the Nobratka railway commis sion say that they have not mot with as many complaints as they expected. This statement does not in the least sur prise ui. The people know the timber of which tbo commiajion h composed , and they knotr that it is only a waa to of tune to make any complaint ; . Iz has come to a very pretty pass , indeed , when it ii necessary for A. . J. Hansoom to make en affidavit to bolster np his soa-ln-law ai a candidat for a federal office , and advertise J. Ster ling Morton as a bold , bid man. Moan- lime , Mr. Lunbeitson , an offensive par tisan , who goes gunning for snipe and brings down bourbons In every campaign continues to draw his salary with his usual regularity. WHAT dooa Councilman Funy moan when ho nay a "thoro is a hen on " in the effort to h vo Mr. Myera employed as architect of the city hall ? la there any thing crooked In It 1 Or tg inut public nttrost ? Is thcro ( .anything In it any where near aa selfish aa the scheme of certain parties who want to sell to the city a lot of ravines and gulleys In the tuburbs for parks and boulevards ? MAYOII BOVD'S veto of the ordinance creating the ofiloa of sidewalk Inspector was suitained by the council. The mayor held that it is the duty of the etrcot commhstoner to attend to the sidewalks , Now then , lot the street commissioner do his duly , and report all sidewalks that are out cf repair as well as the places that need new sldowalkr. COUNCILMAN- DAILY has been cap. tlvated by aorno very pretty plans drawn by home talent. Why can't they point to the bu'ldlngs they have phnnod ? It is easy onoujh to draw pretty pictures , hcC it ( a another thing to plan § 200,000 buildings that will stand the toit of time and fire. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ " Tin : fact that the polluamen'd bal ( Ia near at hand is a pretty sura Indication that the overcoat season Is not far off. \Vntcrwaya ( relegates , A number of the Nebraska delegates appointed by ( ha governor to attund the Northnestern Waterways o in vention , which oeoiia at St. L' ul , Mian , , to-day , pawed through tha city yesterday ou their way thither.

The Gnal Qntslion of the Working- Xno Mooting * t tlio Carpenters' ' Union Hull TuciiUy Nlplit Mr. ICosowAtor's Address Tououlng Up "Homo Talent" The public session of the Carpenters' ' Union Tnetday evening , as previously Jar.- nonncod , filled the hall of the organiza tion to the doors. Several prominent speakers had boon Invited and the greater number responded in person. The president , William E. Metsgor , made a neat welcoming addtosa and in troduced the first speaker of the evening , Mr. Edward Eotowator answered thee o 11 to speak with an Impromptu effort which was greeted with manifest pleasure by hla auditors , Ho ex plained that when some days ago he had bcon Invited by the labor committee to address this mooting , ho could not prom ise BO to do as It appeared then that ho would be away from the city at this time. But aa ho was this night In town , ho had gladly responded to tholr request. Ho was a wcrklngman himself. For many years ho had bcon the member of a laborious craft , that of telegraphy. Ho was ono of the orgnnlzara and cfllcois of the TeUgraphei's Protective League , irh'ch waa established in 1870. Ho had htd experiences with labor troubles ; had bain on both aides of strikes , BO that ho had ample ohanca for practical study of the labor question , The greatest problems in labor la to meet thu depression which overproduction pro duces. With that problem the statesmen of Earopo and Ameiioi have grappled , nnd have still left unsolved. It wonld thua bo arrogance on my part to pretend that I could Btho it. Tbo revolution wrought by machinery , and the marvel OUB mechanical Inventions cf the past fifty yoara have dhplaccd millions of skilled workmen the world over from their regular vocations , and compelled thorn to seek now fields of employment. The new Inventions continue to crowd workmen out of employment almost as fast as they become skilled in some cratt. It is concedcc that machinery has taken the place o tivo-alxtha of all the labor of the world Where six men were formerly employee twelve to fourteen hours per day , one man ttith the aid of machinery can supply the demand. How la this groa army of turplus workers to find employ ment cnnngi to supply Ihelr wants anc these cf their families ? This is thi problem which is wracking the brains o iho ablest thinkers of the world. On practical r.met'y is a reduction in th hours of labor , which will necessitate the Employment of a greater number cf men There srj nostium doctors who pretocc that Dome particular policy o act of congress would maki wages high and stimulate Industry this is ospec'ally ' trno of politician ivho want the workingmen'a votes. Dur ng the last campaign Mr. Elaine ea'.d ' to ; ho worklngmen of Ohio and Pounsylva nln , 'tho wonderful piosperlty which yon enjoy is entirely duo to the American r.licy of home protection. If you desire this pilisy to continue , you will continue in power the parly which has created it. ' And yet half the workmen were out ol work end nearly starving and the other half were working at from 70 to 9 ( cents a day. On tha ether hst.c the free trade rantsra are always howling about tha taxes anc robberioa imposed by the protective tariff. Last winter , the speaker said , ho had beard , , ) . Sterling Mor ten tell a crowd of granges that every ory yard of cjllco on the backa of thel- wtvis was tsxul BX cents by the protect ive tariff. As a matter of tact the calico waa bought by tha formers for four cents a yard , and that is cheaper than it can be bought In free trade England , With o'hers Morton had deluded himtell for years with the idea that labor had to bo lostcrcd and manufactures ttlmnla- ted by high tariff protection. There lane no doubt teat American industry has re ceived great benefits from protection in the p s % bnt today protection la as dead as a mackerel for all practical purposed. American machinery and American inventions with low pticad akillad labor , are now abe ! to compote with ell tlio world in open market. When the Union Pacific was built common Iron ral'a ' cost § 80.00 per ton. To-day Amorl- oin steel rails can ba laid down for § 24 a ton. A few months ate the ( Jinadian Pacific bought 10,000 tone of rail In Pennsylvania which shows that rails am chopper In this country than they are In England , ft Is BO with almost all chiaes of manufactures. American watches made by machinery have taken the place of the imported. American sowing mi- chinos , agricultural implements , guns , boots and shooa , cutlery and oven jewelry are made cheaper and batter hero than ( n Europe. The protection nostrum ii a doid letter. A moro dFjctivo atlmu- lanr , in hia opinion , wonld bo co-opera tion. In England ml Franco the work- icgmen have achieved great resulti by oo opcrativo Industry , Tbo first essential Is union and harmony among worklugmen. Jay Gould , Vandetbllr , end other capitalIsts - Ists oan meet at the Windsor hotel and agree upon any policy relative tn labor , while drinking tholr champagne , but it la a very different and dillioult matter for several hundred thousand wotklngmon to agree among themselves on any course. , The struggle with the problem of over , prodrctlon and over populitloa mntt con- . lluuo for many years. Ho believed , ( however , that tncro la a limit to dlacov- , ary and invention which will eventually t jive greater stability in proaeaslonal and ] skilled mechanical labor. The telegraph is the greatest Invention of this century. Fifty years ago the most rapid commit- ( nictation was by carrier pigeons , ind reflecting signals. To-day the con- j tlnouta are covered with a network of wires , and dozens of ocean oiblos girdle , iho globo. Communication with the ) Boat distant parta of the earth are ln- itantaueoua. Uau ny nno conceive of B ; olegraph that will ba more rapid than uslantanoous 1 Can any one conceive of Juratlon longer than eteinltj ?

Uafcra the era if naohln rg UadvH onionvreia much more I successful In elevating the standard ol mechanic * . Now the goits and the sheep are not separated ; the most skilled carpenter Is classed with mor who can hardly bnlld n fence. Employers frequently atfe why should the unions Intlst npjn equal wages to all daises cf workmen , trhothoi skilled or unskilled nnd they point to the fact that iho unions Include not only honest and good workmen but poor and dltropntablo mechanics. This can not bo avoided : whenever there is n strike over/ mm is picked up who can compete and thus the unions are compelled often to take in men who nro not a credit to their craft. IncldontallyMr. Roaowntor called attention to the ridiculous attitude which workingmen occupy in the rquab- bio over thn city hall plans. Omaha worklngmoh had been quoted aa backore of homo talent architect when in fact homo labor has never boon encouraged by Omaha orohltecta who alwaja insist that contractors and build- era should import building nutorlih from nbrcad. When men will put np four story bulldlnga to tumble down at the first gust of wind , they are hardly fit to bo trusted with Iho plans of public buildings and toners 192 fool high. In closing , the speaker reminded them that there is no relief for labor to bo had from the promises of politicians whether they bo in congress , thaloglehlnro or the olty council. Worklngmcn have their own destinies In their htnds nnd mutt help themselves. The ringing applause with which the andlonco endorsed Mr. ltsowatnt' posi tion on the city hall matter , Indicates that "homo talent , " aa no w popularly applied , has not the support of the mass ot the cltlzonr. W. J. Haevee , financial secretary of tbo union , supported Mr. Rosowntor'a ut terances relative to the city lull and en tered Into a most Intelligent and clear presentation of the labor problem , which was oppreo'ntlvoly received. Mr. Reeves was followed by J. H. Thomson nnd 0. Gladdke , after which the meeting adjourned. There urn in the United States forty cotlin factuiies , tha tersest being in Cincinnati.
