The attempt of the Union Pacific man agers to crado rciporslbillty nod hold Ihomeohcs entirely blameless for the massacre of Chinamen at the Rock Sprlrgi coal mines will not bo successful with the thinking people. Whllo it is true that the prevailing syitem of coal mining in Wyoming was begun years ago under the Gould and Dillon administra tion , the protect managers cannot plead ignorance of iho abuses to which minors have been subjected , The officials assart that the mines are operated by contractors , who employ the miners , and therefore the railroad corn- piny is not responsible , as it bio nothing whatever to do with the men. It trans acts its buitncss simply with the con tractors , Even if that were the caae , the Union Pacific cannot nbaolvo itself from a share ot responsibility In permitting the contractors to continue the employment of Chinese and steadily Incrjaio tholr number. But lot us look at the facts In the case. According to the statement of a reliable man , who ipent a number of years at Rock Springs , the contract with Bockwltb , Qalnn & Co , to furnish ccal to the company at so much per ton , and supply all the nocosiary machinery and labor , is a more subterfago. The con tractors are slmplo agents or ( superintend ents , bohlnd whom the Union Pacific operates , In order to prevent the govern ment from interfering. The Union Pacific pays the minors , furnishes the machinery , and holds Itself responsible for all the running expenses of the mines. The oompiny also maintains the system of dealing out supplies from its stores to the minors. This [ is simply an ingenious method of robbery , which wa BO prevalent in Penn sylvania , Ohio and other elates until tbo last year or two , when the legislatures of aomo of these states passed laws making it a penal offense , In Wyoming , as it was in Pennsylvania , the coal miners are compolhd to trade at the railroad com pany's . stores , operated by Beckwlth , Qalnn&0o.by whomthoyareohargod ex orbitant prices , Not satisfied with hav ing a monopoly In the coal trade in that territory , the greedy corporation main tains n monopoly on the merchandise trade In all its tributary mining towns. Between low wsgcs for labor aud the outrageous prlcrs for provisions and other necsasarles the miners are ground down until they find it difficult to live even if with the otrbtout oconomy. Nona but Ohlnimcn can Etind any such pro u nro. As they can live on almost nothing , they can afford to work for the Union Pacific contractors at low wages and pay high prices for what little they buy and consume. Under all these cir cumstances the whlto minors have been driven to desperation , and becoming co - . vlnoed that the Union Pacific was attempting - 1 tempting to either reduce them to the level of the Chinese , or gradually frecza them out altogether by the importation of Chinese , they resorted to force to ex pel the obnoxious clement. Who WCB mainly responsible for the massacre ? The maddened minors' mob , ar the men who cot up the oyatom that Jrovo these men tomnrderousdosperatlon ? rho agents of the company have at all Limes encouraged Chinamen , as well as Mormon minors , and in this way have bold down all others as with a rod of Iron. That the Union P-tclGa contractors bavo systematically tyranlzed over the whit a miners and treated them HKO slaves , and subjected thorn to all sorts of unnoyancea and indignities , there is bnt little doubt. Wo have denounced In un measured terms the action of the whlto miners in slaughtering the Chinese , be- BJUSO the Chinamen were not ro- . sponslolo for being alive nor for being employed | In the mines. . Bat the incentive for the crlmo was fur nished by tholr employers and a giant monopoly , which has destroyed all pos- slblo chance for competition and fair dealIng - Ing In Wyoming. The lesson taught by the desperate minors , bloody though it was , should not go unheeded by the Union Pacific. That company should as noon as possible abandon the employment of Chinese , and if it will persist in mon opolizing the coal raining bnslncsi , lob it at least have the decency to do away with Its stores and permit competition In the necessaries of life and miners' supplies. Qlvo the whlto miners a chanoo to bay svhero they can buy the cheapest , and there trill bo less csuso for complaint. The Rook Springs massacre presents mother phase which calls for serious re- . lection. At the instance of the railroad , nrhlch has had a mortgigo * on nearly ivory governor of Wyoming , federal f iroops have baen called for to suppress ho Insurrection , and to prevent a farther II ' tatbroak. No sooner did the troops put a an appearance than the company ro- lamed ita tyrannical policy , and ike an- lonnooment waa mido that the coolies rill bo put to work again under tha pro- ectlon of Undo Sim's bayonets. Now whllo It la the dnty of the govern- . icnt to suppress Insurrection and-rabol- on , and enforce law and order in the arritorloi , it bosomes a sorluns question 'hether the army is to bo employed as a ollco at the dictates of a corporation , I . hlch was mainly instrumental incius- ( . , ig the outbreak by a lairlots system tt hlch It unraputylcau and contrary to th 10 spirit of oar institutions. Ig the thTi my to ba degraded into a aort of alavo- Tigc | gc rlver ? The slave diivora in the south I , I at their palmiest days never prisunod tat tha army should bo employed as a ) sjo to bo placed over tholr chattels and xp them from multlny. PI WE never belittle enterprise , and hence o BEE , without reserve , complimented' ' th o Herald on the excellence of its luday issue , Whether the matter in ofke o paper was entirely original or partly th ids up of reproduction from other all source ) , Is of little concern to the patrons of that journal. No dally paper c n be entirely original. It Is essential that n dally paper shonld contain not only the news of the day and original editorials , but alio the boat features of its exchanges. It Is purely a milter of tisto on the part of the editors , who desire to cater most successfully to the public , as to what the quantity or quality of the varied contents of their paper shall bo. If n cook gats np n Rood dinner , nobody cares whether ho borrowed his recipes from a cook book or whether his dishes were entirely original , The potty and spiteful effort of the Re publican to disparage the efforts of the Herald only shows that It Is a great deal easier for some persons to run down the productions of others than it is for them to excel by tholr own efforts. The efforts of the llcpubllcan to bo a monitor of Omaha journalism are almply im- portlucnt. _ TUB rainy wo&thor which has so seri ously interfered with the opocing of the Omaha exposition shows that it Is very foolish to limit an exposition to four or five days. The tlmo is altogether too short , and makes the success of the expo sition almost wholly dependent upon the weather. Ono or two rainy days knock the programme sadly out of joint. Wo wouldlsuggest , under the circumstances , that the full programme of the exposition bo carried out , commencing on the first favorable day , and that in the f aluro the tlmo nf the exposition bo made to cover two weeks at least. If the exposition was of two weeks duration two or throe rainy days would not interfere to any eoiioiii extent. WISCONSIN'S census shows a popula tion of 1,903,030. This is a gala of 21 per cent over 1880. The development of the lumber interests and the building of railroads In the northern half of the state ore tha main ciusos of this largo increase in that old state. Some of her northern towns have had a most remarkable growth during the last five years , incrois- ing from small villages to the proportions of gjod-s'zjil ' cities , finely built , and equipped with all modern Improvements and conveniences. Wisconsin is ono of the boat atatoa In the Union , nnd her many sons and dtu htera in Nebraska will re joico at her continued prosperity. POETRY Is by no means a royal road to wealth. Walt. Whitman , whom some people rank as a poet , has jnat received from his American publisher the royally for six months on his productions. It amounted to $22 OG. Wo are not sur prised , therefore , to learn that Mr. Whit man , nhoao works find qulto a number of readers In England , baa manifested his ( rllllngness to gratefully accept anything tnat may result from the English move ment to raise a testimonial for him. THE BUSINESS OUTLOOK. The business situation throughout iho ; ountry , particularly In the largo com mercial centers , continues to Improve with the advancement of the fall season. According to the New York bank state ment cf last S aturday there was an increase jfovor $4,700,000 In the loans , whllothere iras a falling off In the deposits. The 1m- monso surplus reserve , which was Indica tive of a stagnation of business , has been lecreaaed nearly $13,000,000 dace the 1st of August. Thnse facts are taken as soncluslvo ovldonco of the revival of legit imate business , as most of this money aaa been called for to ba nsod among norchantn and manufacturers , whoso tes- : imony is to the effect that business has improved , ; and their opinion ia that it Till continue to Increase in volume , Af- 'alrj In industrial circles are : ertolnly very encouraging. The : oxtile mills of the east , which have been pursuing a very conservative course and jirefully feeling their way by running on ialf or three-quarters tlmo or with a rc- lucod force , are nownoarlyall working on fall tlmo with the usual number of opera tive * . The woolen mills are reported to } 0 having all they can do , and tome are iven reported to bo so overcrowded with [ nrork that they will not accept orders for mmodiato execution and delivery. In rarloas other branches of Industry thcro looms to bo considerable activity , and al- ogothor the outlook Is quite encouraging , The railroad situation , however , Is com- ilicatod with other great matters , two of vhieh grain and coal arc now partlcn- arly discouraging. If It were not for the urplns from the harvest of 1884 , oar rhent crop of 1885,1 with a good Euro- IOSD demand , would bavo to bo counted i disastrous failure the worst or many years. But having that sur- ilui , and the European demand being 'ght , it results that our wheat has fallen 0 prices that in the long tun would ba ulnoui to the mass of farmers , At such rices our usual export of wheat would onnt us comparatively llttlo In oar btl- nco of account abroad , while unfortun- tely the quantity which wo can market 1 diminished. The danger of war be- ireen England and Ruislala entirely put > r the present , and the Russian crops ill como forward freely through the open arts of the Black Saa , whllo no threat f attack upon the Surz canal discourages 10 free movement of India wheat by tat route to tbo English markets , and 10 tyuntity coming is larger than over , ho harvest In Great Britain is fairly ted the acreage being somewhat ro. icoJ , but the- yield per icre an average 10 whllo too Hungarian crop Is re- irted excellent. The coal business is in bad shape , The ulladolphla American s yt : The combination of anthracite coal miners pr&ctiually dissolved. The quantity mined Is year will ba twj , possibly three , milllo&a tons leis than was proposed , yet the matt - t u full , and nil storage room awaillocr 9 mirket it pomed. It It the testimony ol who know the facts that never WM there-1 T < so ranch unsold anthracite above ground , And yet , with the certainty thni afforded that th'rlyono or oren thirty millions of tons o\nnot ba marketed , It ii well known that thaneoodslllos of some of tha parties to the combination forbid to onsent to a reduction ol their shares. It seems certain that an thracite mining will not bo made profitable- fjriomo tlmo t3 come , that prices mu t bo low. and tbai railroad tolls on coal must do- cllno rather than ndv&nce. " HOSE HOSHONAH , The Novr Year 5(110 ot the Jewish Calendar Tlio Day ana Ita Observance ! ) , To-day at sundown the Jewish people throughout the world will celebrate - brato the advent of the year 5G4G. This being the seventh Jewish month "lisbri" there occurs some of tha most important festive days celebrated by that pooplo. Ne-w Youa is the holiday cam- monclng the first of "tho Ton Days of Ponltonco , " and "Yom Kippur , " Is the laat of those days. To explain the ob ject of colobratiug the now year in the seventh Instead of the first month "Nisan , " it may bo said that in auoord- anco with the Jowlih tradition the world was croatotl in the month of Tishlr , whereas the fuat month la only commem orated as the period of tholr Indepsndonco by being delivered from the Egyptian bondngo. The object of the Jo wish Sabbaths , holy and festive days commencing always at sundown is bated upon the theory in accordance to biblical quotatitn , "It was evening and morning , " hence the Ho- brows' day ends at six o'clock , instead of twelve o'clock , and the time after belongs to the succeeding day. A noticeable ica- tnro npon these two important days Is the entire suspension of business , and every Isiaelito repairs to his hcuso of worship , and there devotes his tlmo to moral reflections. This Is more percepti ble on the "Day of Atonement , " where every adult fasti from evening to evening - ing , nnd devotes the entire day in the sanctnaiy. The dlvino services at the synagogue during these occasions are awo-insplrlng and edifying to the Hebrew , and both solemn and Instructive to even these not belonging to this faith. The maslo on these occasions are traditional selections. Rabbi Benson will lecture to night upon the euhject of "Tho Re flections of the Hour , " and In the mornIng - Ing upon the subject of "Tho Proper Computation of Time. " In this city the day will bo observed by a general cloalr g up of bualneea housed , and in attendance upon the dl- vine services &t iho synagogue. Services will commence this evening at 7:30 : o'clock. A cordial invit ation ia extended to the public. The Jewish society , "Ohovra Blkur Oholim , " will hold services &t Lytle'a hall this evening and Thursday and Friday morning. The hackmen and cabmen occupy the ohoica place at thu depot "stand" now , whllo the poor oxpreasmen are driven out into the mud. Jndgo Brandies last night rmarried B. H. DIcberaon and Mil.
