Telegram of Snttmlny is taken up with n

wrilliinff in the coils of tlio railroad nna-
contln. Over this fiURBcstlvo picttiro is
the title "Strnngled by Monopoly , " nnd
beneath it are the words "The Heal Cause
of the Strike. " The .present strike on the
Gould system is not. ns tlio grcnt railroad
wrecker has stated the walkout , of large
numbers of men to benefit ono man , but
it is the protest of the employes of n. great
railroad system agninst n long series of
abuses put into operation nnd curried out
lo increase the millions of n single cap
italist. Mr , Jay Oonld will not
deceive the public. The abuses of
management in corporate monopolies
have been responsible for tlio great rail
road strikes of 187 * , 1881 and 18SO. Reck
less jobbery in the stocks of the road ,
dishonest manipulation of the securities ,
deluges of "water" injected into the
capital , bankrupt systems struggling to
pny the interest on their bonds have
nil been followed by sweeping reductions
in the wages of employes nnd oppres
sive exactions to secure moro work for
less pny. In every instance where tlio
crimes of tlio rnilwny kings hnvo ren
dered economy necessary tlio pruning
knife hns bcon applied not to the salaries
of the high priced olllclals but to the
wages of tlio poorly paid employes.
l-.abor troubles have been instigated by
trouble in tlio treasurers ollico and the
protests of the workingmcn hnvo nat
urally followed. Hack of all the strikes
nnd walkouts and boycotts among the
employes of the corporate monopoly lies
the dishonest management of the cor
porations nnd the wrongs which com.-
bined capital in the hands ol the railroad
wreckers visits upon labor in order to
bolster up its schemes for further rob
bery of the public. Behind tlio troubles
of the street rnilwnj-s in New York lay
the insensate greed of grasping capital
ists not content with 20 per cent dividends
on their inflated slock and anxious lo roll
up still heavier profits out of tlio
sweat of their toiling drivers. The same
evil precipitated tlio coke troubles , the
lion mills strike , the puddlers' nnd
miners' walkouts. Monopolyentrenched
behind millions of capital , with no other
aim but to pile up the wealth of ils promoters -
motors , levies its contribution first upon
labor in its employ , while it taxes com
merce and agriculture to the limit which
"the trnflic will bear. " "Novor in the
history of Iho world , " said a prominent
Now York merchant recently , "hnvo wo
seen such enormous accumulations of
wealth suddenly acquired by any class
as wo have seen in this country
during the Inst quarter of n cen
tury through the careers taxing
all other classes in the community.
Within twenty-live years the Vandcrbilt
estate has grown from $5,000,000 to over
$200,000,000. Within the same time the
Central Pacific quartet have , it is esti
mated , extorted from tlio public more
than $250,000,000. Twenty-five years ngo
Jay Gould was not rated as a single mil
lionaire ; within two years ho exhibited
to nn admiring group of Wall street
friends railroad securities , variously
estimated , worth from § 50,000,000 to
$75,000,000 , nnd it was announced that
this was only a portion of his gains. The
men connected with our transportation
system , who nro rated at $10,000,000 and
upwards nro too numerous to mention ,
nnd by far the greater portion of this has
been accumulated within twenty years.
The coils of the monopoly anaconda
hold labor , commerce and industry in its
grtisp , and indignant protests from the
sufl'ering victims nro denounced ns a con
spiracy against social order. But protest
must be made , and marto effectively.
Combined labor is making itself felt in
unfastening the relentless grasp of cor
porate monopoly from its throat. It is
the natural result of combinations of
capital. Against a great corporate mo
nopoly controlling the railroad service of
several states nnd gathering enormous
profits from the public necessities ,
the individual laborer is n mere
helpless atom. If ho could deal
with his employer face to face ho might
settle his own disputes , but ho has to
denl with the impersonal power of con
solidated capital , nnd ho sees no means
of meeting il but by an opposing consoli
dation , in which his individual judgment
and action shall bo absorbed in the im
personal judgment and action of his labor
organization. Trades-unionism is thus
thn necessary consequence of monopoly.
It is an eflbrt to preserve the rights and
interests of the many against the threat
ening power of the few.
The Real Estate Marker.
There nro signs of heavy speculation
in Omaha , real cslato during the present
season. Prices of all classes of properly
are rising witli remarkable rapidity and
hundreds of acres of now additions are
being platted nnd thrown upon the mar
kot. There are enough lots now laid out
in the outskirts of Omaha to meet the re
quirements of a city of four times its c2o
While the steady advance & . p0lly' , ' , ;
n growing city Ike our own Is natu-
J * HiU noallhy there is such a
tning as fostering nu. unnntu-
ral nnd a damaging speculation
in municipal realty. When lots on the
oubildrts are advanced in a proportion
four times that at which real estate in the
business portions of the city increase in
value , the boom is largely a speculative
ono. Wholesale purchases of property on
a narrow margin of actual investment
simply for the purooso of turning them
over lo n higher bidder nt the first oppor
tunity presented , is nothing more nor loss
than speculation , pure nud simple. It
creates an artificial demand , which lasts
while the crnzo continue ? , but it does not
advance the general interest in the long
run.
run.Denver
Denver has undergone a spec
ulative craze in real estate nnd
the Whine reads Its patrons the follow
ing Iceluro iiDon Iho ollucts :
The attempts to get up n real estate boom
nro lo bo deprecated , ijpeculiitlvo excitement
in city property Is not halt' so desirable for
tlio community as many sensible men aie In
clined to think. A steady , regular growth Is
by all menus to bo piefeirwl. A raplit ad
vance nt nny time- simply means that a check
nnd reaction must conm In its Jialn. Tlio
more lapld the advance tlio moro sevcio tlio
chock and the moro prolonged thn reac
tion are euro to be. Climbing up the
hill to stfito down n ihi Is fun for boys ,
built doseu't pay in business. It'has now
taken Deliver fully four years to it-cover from
the exaggerated .prices which Her rt .xl estate
icachi'd nudur the Impulse of the boom.
Si > ucidttors ; wild then bolfaved that there wns
uo toil to tLo sky have buon holding the bag
ftnd cooling their enthusiasm through all
this lone dull period. They have simply bcon
compelled to wait for the city to grow up to
the prices they jntt on their property. Now
that It 1ms done this and reality Is beginning
to move upward it Is folly to expect n repeti
tion of the Inst unprecedented advance. It is
the pait of wisdom not to overdo a forutnnto
situation.
Tliis is good advice which Omaha can
prolit by in advance of the necessity
which in Denver has called it forth.
The Hitslncss Situation.
The expected spring boom hns not yet
put in nn appearance in business circles.
The trade movement is characterized ns
one of moderate activity only , nnd it lias
not gained the force nnd volume pre
dicted by sanguine traders earlier in the
season. The widespread nnd extending
labor troubles are mcasurcably responsi
ble for the hesitating progress of com
mercial nflaira. Tlio crippling of opera
tions in affected industries lias an adverse
cITect upon doncndcnt business interests ,
nnd the spreading agitation Increases
conservatism in many branches of
production not directly concerned in
existing disputes. Much of the pro
fessed apprehension of Inbor strikes or
the oll'oct of higher wages upon certain
manufacturers and projected industrial
operations Is doubtless the makeshift qt
buyers lo depress Iho market prices of
raw materials ; but enough of it is real lo
throw nn clement of uncertainly inlo
business calculations nnd dull the edge
of enterprise. There is satisfactory im
provement in the dry goods trade , but the
general jobbing interests do not show a
similar gain. All tilings considered ,
however , the merchandise distribution is
very fair , nnd there is a general hopeful
ness of an early adjustment of labor con
troversies and moro confident and active
movements in all branches of business.
Trade failures are decreasing in all sec
tions of the country especially in the
Eastern nnd Middle States.
Manufacturers report extensive orders
ahead. This is especially the case in tex
tile fabrics. Iron continues firm , with n
moderate demand. Tlio grain trade is
fairly active , with wheat showing a hard
ening and corn n lower tendency. The
strength of wheat is duo to Iho gradual
reduction of domestic stocks , the mod
erate improvement in foreign demand
nnd the possibility of nccident to the
growing crop. The March report of the
department of agriculture makes the vis
ible and invisible supply of wheat
in tlio country on the .21st in
stant 150,003,000 bushels , against 210,000-
000 bushels at the same time last year.
There is nothing to indicate that any seri
ous damage lias been done to the grow
ing winter wheat by the variable weather
of the past month. Spring seeding in
llio northwest is not likely to gnt fairly
under way before the first week in April.
From the Pacific slope the crop reports
tints far are very encouraging , and a big
yield of wheat is confidentially antici
pated. Corn stocks at principal points
of accumulation in this country have in
creased in the aggregate nearly 1,500,000 ,
bushels since last week , but much ot the
supply now at the commercial centers is
banked against contracts for future de
livery , and is not pressing on tlio market.
Where Wns the Conspiracy ?
The tax payers of Omaha who are in
terested in the question of paving- have
been congratulated by the Herald upon
their hairbreadth escape from a very dan
gerous conspiracy. This was nothing
more nor less than an effort to procure
delay on the part of the council for the
purpose of enabling property owners to
revise their judgment with regard to
paving materials. This effort to prevent
hasty action under pressure from inter
ested contractors is denounced as a con
spiracy against the welfare of Omaha.
Since the BEE is arraigned as the great
conspirator , it picks up the gauntlet and
challenges the champion of the wooden
pavement job , or the contractors , to pro
duce a scintilla of proof lhat Ihis paper
ever has beenor'ls , now influenced by cor
rupt motives or pecuniary gain in the
position it has maintained in any discus
sion relating to public improvements.
Wo dare tlieso parties to name a single
instance in which this paper or its owners
were directly or indirectly interested in
paving , water-workssewering or gradi/ig ,
On Iho contrary , wo hnvo , from the out
set , opposed every species of corrupt job
bery in connection with public works.
Can tiio Herald say tlio same for itself
and its owners ?
Tlio BEI : has no interest , financially or
politically , in the choice of paving mater
ials , except so far as wo are interested as
a general taxpayer with all other tax
payers In preventing foolish and reckless
investment in improvements and materials -
ials that have failed to .stand the test any
where. When wo urged the council to
extend the time for the choice of
paving materials , wo did so in
the public interest. If this 1' "
clashed with the m-yita | 7lUol.est"of
contractors , lyliot r they bo frloml or
foe , w aiY0 , no apology to oiler.
ii there has boon any conspiracy wo

A Boston dispatch of March Ifitli says :
A vigorous nuti-tobacco crusade lins
sprung up Hereabouts , which hns begun
to make serious trouble in the churches ,
The most ] ) roinlnont of Boston clergy-
innn who enjoy n good cigar Is Hov. il.
H. Morodlth , pastor of one of the richest
Congregational churches in town. For
years Tromont Tcmplo has been packed
every Saturday afternoon by Sunday-
school tonchorH of all the ovangollcal
dununiiniitlons , who gather to listen to
DiMeredith's view upon the inter
national Sunday-school lessons. A week
ngo Saturday , among the questions
asked from the audience was one rcllect-
ing upon Dr. Meredith's habit , of smok
ing , rite audionoo made a vigorous
demonstration in support of the question-
iir's position. Hov. Dr. Meredith re
plied very onergotieaily , but ho was
highly incensed , and after the fcerviciss
he notified the committee in charge that
he would novel- again conduct their
Saturday afternoon Bible class. Every
body was taken aback by this decision ,
and the combined urging of bis friends
induced Dr. Meredith to change his
mind. Before considering the lesson as
signed for last Saturday afternoon , how
ever , ho nddruxftcd his great audience
with much emphasis as follows :
"hast Saturday a class closed with a
scene that was painful and discouraging
to me. Some one on the lloor quotwl a
passage of Scripture with which , in the
subsequent application others seemed to
desire to make it apncnrtlmt 1 was not in
sympathy. It was intimated that Idid
not make it one of the guiding rules of
my life. I argued in invar of careful
discrimination in our teaching. The dis
cussion led to the nsking of a question
regarding the use of cigarottcs by boys.
I denounced the practice unsparingly.
Thou some one shouted out :
'How about A good cigar ? '
J'l responded : 'That is a very different
thing. ' And I repeat that answer now.
Understand mo distinctly , however , that
what I said and say now was not said in
defense of myself. Ho is a very weak
man who defends himself before n court
having no jurisdiction. I am not on trial
before you. I deny your right to judge a
single net of mine. What 1 say hero you
may judge of , and if you do not like my
words throw them over your shoulder.
But yon shall not one of you sit in judg
ment upon any act of mine. You have
no jurisdiction. I endeavored to argue
the necessity for discrimination in teach
ing , and you forced upon mo the appli
cation. I am willing to make that applica
tion again. Let mo toll you there is a
great diflerenco between the use of vile
drugged cigarettes by growing boys and
the indulgence of a cigar by a lull grown
man. It is true , and you might as well
face the fact , that there are tens of thous
ands of God-like , God-fearing men in the
church of God _ to-day who honestly believe -
lievo it is as innocent to enjoy a good ci
gar as it is to drink a cup of collee. You
might as well take the fact as you find it.
If you discrimiimtoly denounce the use of
tobacco to a young , boy. ten to ono ho
will laugh at you and side with his father ,
who smokes I may bo wrong in all this ,
but I am open to conviction. Under
stand , however , that I cannot bo con
vinced here ; neither can I bo convinced
by anonymous letters. There may bo
men who would lose their lives rather
than smoke a cigar , but who would stoop
to write nn anonymous Jotter. I would
rather cut oil'my right hand rather than
write such a letter. It has boon my habit
for years never to read an unsigned let
ter. For some time , however , I have
asked you , with good results , to send md
anonymous questions upon the lesson to
bo answered from this platform ,
but this week I have found men who
could got so much that is vile
and abusive upon the back of a postal
card that I toll you , now that I will never
road another that is not signed. If any
one wants to roach mo Jio must sign his
name. I am a vigorous Protestant. 1
do not believe the best man that oyor
lived had a conscience big enough to
govern more than ono man. Turn what
conscience yon liavo , brother , upon your
own habits and lifo. If yon want to con
vince mo that I am wrong in this matter
you must como to mo respectfully. I
cannot listen to you otherwise with any
self-respect. If yon want to convince
me. como to me pleasantly and calmly ,
and I will give you every spare minute I
have , and let yon sail in. Understand
mo perfectly. I am not saying this in
solf-dofonsc , only that wo may perfectly
understand our relations here , I always
seek to avoid controversies oyer sub
jects upon which there are honest dif
ferences of opinion. When I have
yielded and expressed my viowa 't ' .nit
been because it would
to bear toward you , wo will consider to
day's lesson. "
This stinglns rebuke was received b
the audience almost in silence. A few
applauded the more caustic sontqnces , but
the sympathies of the majority were
evidently not in harmony with the
speakers views.
