WYOMING'S CURSE.
The slaughter of the Chinese coal
miners at Rock Springs has directed the
attention of the whole country to the coal
miners of Wyoming , ai well as to the fact
that the Union Pacific monopolize the
mining business of that territory. The
question naturally arises why should the
Union PflclGo have a monopoly of the
coal mines of Wyoming ?
It certainly had no right , In the first
place , to go into the mining business be
cause it Is entirely foreign to the purpose
for which the government chartered it
and subsidized it. It is notorious , in the
next place , that the coal mines were
owned and operated by other parties ,
and that the Union Pacific ejected them
with force and violence and took otses
lon of tholr property y fraud
Competition In mining was entirely
crushed out by a tyrranioil system of dis
crimination against all mining operator
who would not yield up tholr property to
the Union Pacific. Mining property
otherwise valuable , was thus made ut
terly worthless. This selfish and mcrco
nary policy , originated and developed bj
Gould and Dillon , has boon the curse o
Wyoming territory and the people of the
western country. Instead of developing
the varied industries and resources o
that great region , which will sooner o
later bo equal to Pennsylvania in its iron
and coal products , the Union Pacific has
paralyzed every independent enterprise
and loft the country about as it found 1
almost a desert , The mineral rogtor
of Wyoming would have beer
a prolific sonrco of income to the railrcni
company if it had been loft free to com
peting enterprises with a liberal tariff tc
the Missouri rlvor , bur , as it In , the ral
company Is carrying on the coa
trcde under false clalmo , to the detrimen
of the people and to the lots of its owe
stockholders.
The bloody cccnos that have been e'n-
aotod In Wyoming during the past weeli
are not by any means the first that have
occurred thore. When the miners am
mine ownora were driven cut of tha
country years ego thcro was riot ant
bloodshed. The slaughter of the Chines
will not be the list of riot and blood
shed , if iho pig-headed policy of grosc
and pilhgo , benun by a former management
mont , is continued and persisted in.
LAYING asldo all other phases of the
expulsion of the Chinese minors from
Rock Springs , except from a human
standpoint , it was to say the least an
atrocious outrage. It was simply a mas
sacre , and no effort should bo spared tc
bring the murderers to justice , although
we question if it over can bo done. The
bloody episode attracts the attention o
the clvllzod world , and that such a whole
sale slaughter should have occurred In
this free and enlightened country creates
general surprise and provokes Eoverc
comment , It will be taken as an Indica
tion of the "civilization of the wile
west. " But It should bo remembered
that the whlto miners are , as wo are told
mostly foreigners , and principally Welsh
men who have not been naturalized.
They cannot bo properly termed Ameri
cana. Nevertheless the "wild west" will
bo held accountable. In the faoo of the
a'dverio criticism that is sure to follow it
Is encouraging to see that the outrage is
promptly denounced by the people o !
Wyoming , who demand " thai
justice bo done and the foul blot wlpec
ont so far as possible. Reverse the situ
ation , , Suppose a party of whlto minors
In China had been massacred by Chinese.
Would not there Invo boon an outbnral
of indignationIn all quarters of the clvil-
Izod world ! ( The Chinese are not re
sponsible for their being alive , nor are
they responsible for being employed in
the Union Pacific coal mines. The re
aponslbllty for tholr employment rests
with the- railroad company and Us con
tractors or contracting agents.
ANOTHER mutual association has jolne (

anoo companies which started ont to prove
that the facts taught by experience re
gardlng "tho oxpootatlon of life" which
guide regular insurance companies in es
timating rinks were all wtong. The re
marka of the News coincide BO near ) ;
with the oft-uttorod sentiment ] of the
BEE regarding wlld-cit Insurance , that
wo cannot desist from quoting the follow
Ing :
Buoh oifianizutloni , oven when honest ) ;
conducted , must eventually fail , heoania they
attempt the impossible. It Is easy enough to
start neil , but the operation of causes which
cannot be controlled makes It curtain thai
after a time the death rate will Increase out o !
all proportion of the ability of members to
tnooi their assessments , end than bankruptcy
is inevitable. It rarely happens , though , that
Inturanca companies of this class are honestly
conducted for any fongth of time , The op
portunities for fraud are so great , and tha
temptation to commit ; It so strong , that few
officers of such concerns have been able to
resist tha tendency to rob their patrons , It
j so easy for the officers to report a death ando
-o levy an aseesameut that it often happens
.hat policy-holders are called upon to p y an
njiessrnent for every obltuaiy nolico that ap
pears in the newipapers , and sometimes for
men who never either lived or died. These
companies should nil be brought within the
reach of tha law. They should bb compelled
o make complete reports of all their doings to
ho insurance commhtioners of all tbo states
n which , they seek builnesi , and they should
19 belli to the strictest possible accountability
or all tholr acts.
THE grounds upon which Mr , 0. A.
jaarjr Is objected to for member of the
joard of pnblio worka era neb personal.
.t is not to Ills discredit that ho enjoys
the confidence of the Union Pacific mam
ogors , who have made him foreman of
ono cf the departments in the shops. If
the company had no sandstone to force
upon unwilling tax-payers for paving ma
terial , and wis not otherwise in confllcl
with the interests of tax-payers from
time to time , Mr. Loary would do as well
as any other ordinary man. Wo do nol
bollovo that Mr. Loary Is any moro capa
ble of resisting the pressure from his
employers than was Charley Woodworth
and n dozen other men who held lucra
tlvo positions with the railroad while
they were in the council , the board ol
education , or In the legislators. Why
Mr. Lcarr , who la foreman of the loco
motive woodwork department in the
railway shops , should bo pushed so vig
orously In preference to other workingmen -
men , has not boon explained by his
backers. The board certainly has no
locomotive woodwork to do. A gooc
mechanic , who has had n varied export
once In the construction of publlo 1m
provemor.ts , would bo moro useful.
IT has boon suggottod that an olootrio
light display bo given on Sixteenth stroo
some evening during the exposition
Such A feature would ho novel and at
tractive , and It Is hoped that It will b
carried ont. It in suggestive of some
thing In the future on a much largo
scale than could ba attempted on ouch
short notice , If some enthusiasm coulc
bo infused into that clan of our citizen
who have time and money and taste to
got up an allegorical , classical , or even D
burletqno pageant , on an extensive scale
as a foatnrj of fntnro expositions ItwouU
provo an attraction that wonld draw people
plo from all parts of the country. St
Lonla has her "Vollad Prophets , " Now
Orleans has her Mardlgras , Baltl
moro has her "Oriolo , " and other citlo
have olmllar pageants which attract visit
ors from far and wide. Our exposition
are given at a season when the temperature
turo admits of a pageant , either by day o
night , without exposing anybody to dla
comfort.
THERE ia nothing Inconsistent in tha
position which wo have taken that , al
things being equal , Mr. Gray's sncccsao
In the board of publlo works should bo a
republican. Politics does not cf conrso
enter Into the duties , of the board , bn
the mayor has yielded to pressure from
the democratic machine. The chairman
cf the board ia a democrat , and it looks
likean effort to convert the board Into D
political engine for future compalgns. In
this connection it may bo well enough to
recall the Httlo incident of last fall , when
the late 'democratic chairman of the
broad ordered'all tbo grading contractors
to fall in with 'tholr ' teams and scrapers
and help to make np the Cleveland am
Hendricks parade. Mr. Loary , who was
probably a torch bearer In that "pro
cosh , " may bo entitled to'come reward
The republicans of the council may think
that he has been sufficiently rewarded by
the gift of the torch which ho bore alof
on that memorable occtslon.

IRISH NATIONAL LZAQUE OF AMERICA ,

OmciS OF AND ,
COLN , Nob. , Sept. 3 , 1883. YOUR GRACE :
I have just read the letter which your grace
addressed to Mr. John , P , Suttoa the man
deputed to organize the Irish National League
lu Canada. and I fool that I would bo want
ing In duty if I did not write to specially
thank you for tbo fronerous words of oncour-
ment and hope with which you accompanied
your subscription to the Irish parliamentary
fund. We foci with your grace that the dawn
of a bettor day for Ireland is fat t > pproaclug.
Wo feel that the question of the restoration ol
"Grattan'd Parliament" has been brought

that it only requires a continuanca for two or

during the past Qvoyeara under tha leadership -
ship of Air. Parnell to force from England the
restitution of onr national right * .
Such kindly endorsement as that contained
in tha letter of your grace must help largely to
maintain that perseverance , strengthen that
courage and increase that unity amongst our
people at homo , and should aorvo as a healthy

TUB COD TT CONVEKTION ,
The convention of Lancaster county has
come end gone. There are many rejoicing
politicians , but there Is a far greater number
who are nt homo nursing and trvtng to heal
the wounds received at the lata battlo. Some
are on thotr political deathbeds , and the head
stones on their graves , where the green grata
and sun flowers of this prolific county wave
above the mounds , will be : "Hero lies ,
a good man nnd true , who died of too much
machine. " Ihe ring was ranted , and Gere ,
llathaway & Co. ptood upon the outaide'and
looked on nnd listened to olcquonco from
other lips than their own. where once
they strutted with high impressions
o ! their own greatness , others stood. The
political editor of the BEE looked over the eaa
of humanity but ho looked in vain for the
classic profiles of R. O. Phillips and "Caffyn"
Hoggs. They were absent , but not of their
own volition ; the voters demanded it , and
although Messrs. Phillips and Boggs did not
gracefully tubmit , they finally understood
that they had been sat upon , The ring got
nothing , unless O. C. Bell , tha nominee far
county clcrkcnn _ bo called eco of them , and
this Is not quite eo , for the gentleman denies
that ho is with the gang. The Mitchell dele
gation to tha judicial oonvontlon will bo over
come by those from Otoo and Cast counties ,
BO if Mr. Mitchell gets ia it will bo by tbo
skin of his teeth. Those potted say positively
that he cannot make it , for the reason that ha
mil bo unable to draw a single vote outside of
this county.
The nomination of Roche for treasurer
gives satisfaction to a great majority of the
party , and if ho keeps ns clear from railroad
influences as ho is now ho will bo a valuable
official and odd to the strength bo already has ,
He certainly will poll a largo vote a&d aid
the balance of the ticket.
The nomination of Alva Brown over Dick
Carley , for county commlsrioner was a victory
for anti-machine men. The fight over this
office wflfl ono of the hardest of the convention
and the rctult was a rout for the Field crowd ,
which is the railroad crowd.
Altogether the convention was nearly free
from ring Influences and proved a damper on
that institution which will dim its luttro for
uoma time to come ,
TUB IATE SILAS A. STRICKLAND.
In n show window on O atreot for several
days past a large portrait cf tha late Silas A.

of having the picture made originated with
the members of the Fiftieth Ohio regiment
who now reside in Nebraska. The general
wni commander of that regiment. It will bo
presented thla'week , nt tbo G. A , It , reunion ,
to Mrs. Strickland , widow of the general
J , B , Livlsoy , of company 1C of tha regiment ,

portrait In charge , A delegation from Silas
A. Strickland post No. 13 , of Hatting ? , will
go to Cfmabn to morrow to escort Mrs. Strick
land to Beatrice where the presentation will
be made. * The portrait is an excellent ouo of
the general , and doubtless will long ba preserved -
served by his family as n cherished memento
of the esteem in which he woo held by bis
companions In arms.
DII'IATKD TUB PROPOSITION.
On Saturday tbo proposition to soil the
the ecftinc-houso property on Eleventh street
was cubmltted to the voters of the city , and
wns badly beaten , Tha BEK was tha only
paper to expose the probable fraud which
would have been perpetrated barl tha rale
been made , It has been clearly understood
that a certain real estate dealer and another
man stood ready to cobble up the property at
a CO per cent valuation ; but , as seen , they
failed to maka It. The engine house will
probably bo uied for fire purposes after the
city jail and oflioes are moved to tha new
house on Market iqunro.

To Iho Hclitor of The BEE ,
As the subject ia up regarding discrimina
tions and a railroad from Omaha to the North
west , I { think it proper to ndd a mite of
argument from this part of the stato.
On account of the bottar rates offered by
tbo Fremont , llkhorn & Missouri Valley rail
road farmers ship their cattle over that road
to Sioux City and east to Chicago. Mer
chants buy goods at eomo point on that road ,
or If at wholesale often direct ( from Sioux City
thus depriviug Omaha of the
Undo which belongs to it on nccount
of location aud which , aa n city of our own
atnto , it should have , Tbif , I understand , io
but a repetition of affair ] throughout north
western Nebraska. Wheeler county , of all
others In tbo fcttilo , la perhaps the greatest on
grata end catilo. A railroad from Omaha
throughout the county and northwest para-
lell with the Krouiont. nikhora & Missouri
Valley , intersecting that line at some point
west , would toenro to Omaha this and future
Undo , ns also that of western Dakota and the
Black Hills.
Ciimtnlnsvillo and Wheeler county , although
separated from the railroad by n iifty inilo
drive , ia taking tjuito rapid strides in the
way of Improvements and prosperity , nnd to
day will rank with any other western county
for population and wealth ,
Cmmnluavillo , located in tbo centro of the
county , is tha proponed county sent , and with
the many advantages over other places which
it embraces there nra no doubts as to the do-
dston of the people at thepolls this fall.
Parties from Iowa have buught a largo tract
of land surrounding the town end a great deal
of city property , and are at work hauling lum
ber and putting up business houses and resi
dences. Thenolsoof the raw and hatchet is
beginning to bo heard on nvery hand. The
pied piper eoems to have blown his horn , and
tbo "grumbling ia growing to n mighty rum
bling" in this little city. It is tumored
that the Omaha , Niobrora & Black Hills rail
road will next spring build cihty miles up
the Beaver volley , via Oumminvlllo and
Lake City. WHEELEB.

The Favorite Washing Liompound of
the day ia unquestionably JAMES PYLU'S
PEARLINE. It dispenses with the nccosei

does not injure tbo fabric.
A young woman giving the name of Mary
Smith , apparently about HI years old , arrived
in Creaton by rail Wednesday niternoon with
a babe in her arms that oho claimed bad boon
handed to her bya etrango woman at a stationer
or two south of that town , 'and that the
woman had failed to return and claim the
child an infant not moro than five weeks
old. Miss Smith refuted to longer care for
the wolf , which was then taken charpo of by
the wife of a locomotive engineer living in
the town ,
