Mr. Andrew J. Sawyer , president of
the Law and Order League , the gentle
man who so "strongly deprecates news
paper notoriety , " paraded himself in n
column Interview in Iho Journal yester
day morning , the chief point of which
was an intemperate attack on the Mr.K
for presuming to print the complaint on
file against him in the district court.
The representative of the linn at Lin
coln is paid for obtaining and printing
the nows. 0no of his regular stations
in this line of duty is the ollico of Clerk
Sl/.or , in the county building. Calling
there Tuesday the reporter found the
amended petition making Mr. Sawyer
chief defendant In the action of Holmes
vs. Shinier , ct al. This document formed
the basts of a legitimate item of news ,
nnd ono in which the people of Lincoln
are largely interested. A plain state
ment of the case , framed entirely on the
allegations in the plaintiffs petition ,
was given to the public. With the Until
or falsity of those allegations the re
porter has nothing to do. They are made
under oath , and consequently entitled to
consideration. If the case is over put on
trial a judge and jury will decide
them , and it is the scribe's duty
to "draw the line at that " Colonel Web
ster and Captain Billingsly had nothing
to do with the publication of the item , as
Mr. Sawyer unjustly intimates. On the
contrary , when asked by the BEE man
for further particulars , they both de
clined to give any information , saying
they did not want to try tlio case in tlio
papers , and would prefer to have it kept
( | iilot. This may sound strange to Mr.
biuvyor , whoso fondness for rushing into
print on every flimsy pretext was well ex
emplified m the Billy Barr case , but it is
thn truth nevertheless.
Mr. Sawyer's main grievance acainst
the lien man seems to hinge on iho fact
that an endorsement of thu charges was
expressly withheld. This , to Mr. Sawyer ,
appears "guarded and cowardly. " To
the general public it will look like an
able-bodied example of fair play , and n
desire to refrain from hitting the under
man. 'Iho bottom facts of the whole case
are that the item was published merely
as a piece of news , without regard
to Mr. Sawyer's personal or pub
lic position , and with as little
care or thought as would attacli to the
recording of a row at fisticuffs between
two of tlio humblest laborers on tlio
street. If it is just and fair to publish
the fact that plain Pit Maginnis has been
jailed for drunkenness , or Tom Carr has
been arrested for violating the excise
law , it is equally proper to let the read
ing public know that a loading lawyer ,
the professed guardian of tlio peace ami
morality of the town , has boon made de
fendant in an action charging him with
conversion of property. Tins may not
bo palatable to Mr. Sawyer , but it is be-
oaubo his 'tastes have been pcrvoited
frC7u"u VoftfTlng of - " ! !
> o ooiiSlfiul , r-C"C ;
papers whoso duo ? aiTif scorns to bo to
smother the news , especially when it
affects prominent people in Lincoln. It
may also injure his chances of appoint
ment to bo United States district attorney
for Nebraska , but that is a matter over
which all democrats in the state will not
weep , and with which the BEE man has
no concern.
Mr. Sawyer intimates that the article
was published because he is an otliccr of
the league , nnd was intended as an as-
B'uill on the the Law and Order move
ment. The BEE has been a strong sup
porter of the league ever since it was or
ganized , and is tlio only paper circulated
in Lincoln , with the exception of the
Evening News , that lja < l back bonp
Lg < aiJZll to. critics uSl aenomicb Mayor
iiurr's action in Foiuovlng Olllcor Little-
field. Mr. Sawyer should shako off the
sJincKlcs of fanaticism , nnd get out in the
world long enough to learn that all men
are not bigoted > and contracted in their
views , and that newspaper men as a class ,
and the BEE man in particular , have a
wholesome regard for truth , that , judg
ing from an interview published yester
day , will compare very favorably with
the infinitcssimal quantity in the mind
of a certain lawyer.
TllinU TO KILL HIS WIFE ,
Bertha Molntoe appeared before Justice
Coehrano yesterday and swore out a war
rant against James Mclntco , her divorced
husband , for trying to kill their daughter ,
a girl of about ton years. Mrs. Molntco ,
who is now working as n house servant
for Mrs. Dr. Childs , says that when she
obtained n divorce she was allowed $5 a
week for the care of the child , who is
sick and unable help to herself , her body
being covered with largo sores , the result
of continued violence and abuse by her
unnatural father. Mr Mclnleowho had
grown tired of paying this money for the
child's support , mauo n brutal attack
upon her about two weeks ago , with the
intention Mrs Molntco alleges , of
"putting her out of the way. " Justice
Coclirauo issued a warrant and sent a
constiiblo to servo it on Molntec. who is a
farmer , living about fourteen miles north
of town ,

Anton Dlotz , the manager of the "Crab
mill" near this city , has commenced un
'action lu the district court in which ho
asks , $1,000 , damages from Theodora
Karr. for slander. Diotx'a complaint ,
which is drawn by Messrs. Sawyer &
Snoll , contains four distinct charges. The
first alleges that on the 8th of February
last , the defendant , in the presence of a
man named Baldwin , said that Diet/ , was
"a danmi'd thief , ' ' and had stolen forty
bushels of buckwheat. A repetition of
this language on the liith of l < obruaryto
11. 0. Van Cleave , and later on the same
day to Colonel 11. Crabb , nnd on the 8th
of April to Justice Cochrano , is made the
basis of the other charges.

A. Colored Protege.
R. S. Halo and his niece , Mrs. W. B.
Grcnthan , of Plattsburg , Mo. , passed
through Omaha yesterday on their
way to Helena , M. T. They had with
them a bright-looking colored girl 8 or 0
years old , whom they brought from
Plattsburg. Mrs. Grenthan told a re
porter for tliB BEE that she had taken a
lancy to the girl , who was living
in poverty , with apparently no
frienas or relatives , and being struck
by her manifest intelligence deter
mined to educate her. She took her into
hei family at i'lattsburgwhere she helped
the servants in performing the work of
the household. A few weeks ago she do-
tornilned to go with her uncle to Helena ,
and , of course , thought that there , would
bo no objection to taking the little col-
ond. elrl with her , _ Thp negroes injho
'
town'however , were at oncoup in aims.
They did not know where Helena was ;
in fact had never heard of such a place.
Some ono told thorn that it was
3,500 miles away , this distance was
too great for their minds to comprehend.
Mrs. Grenthan told them that tno child
would bo a great deal better oft' with her
than living in poverty in Plattsburg.
They did not see it in that light , however ,
and when Mr. Halo and his uiooo reach
ed St. Joe , they wore detained by the po
lice at the instance of the Plattbbiirg uo-
groos , who accused thorn of abducting
the girl. Matters wore finally explained ,
and the party allowed to continue their
journey.

apt to bo , tt very good successor to
"Blind Tom. " The poor follow has lots

Easter Cnrds.
This year's Easter cards from the house
of L. Prang & Co. , of Boston , from whom
wo have received a beautiful collection ,
show n great variety , and embody in a
more striking way the difl'eront senti
ments appropriate to this season than
these of previous years. This season's
publications compose an exceptionally
attractive line , not only in the variety of
subjects , but the artistic execution of the
designs , the happy selection of suitable
sentiments , and the lusty embellishment
of their moro pretentious publications.
The following artists have contributed
designs to this year's line : Mrs. O. E.
Whitney , Miss Uolon W. Emory , Miss L.
B , Comins. Mrs. Phebo Jcnks , Walter
Saltorloe , Henry Sandhain , Miss E. Mat-
laek , Miss L , B. Humphrey , Miss Fidelia
Bridges , Mrs.E.T. Fisher , H. Giaeomolll ,
F. Schuvler Mathews and W.
Hamilton Gibson. Among the
more attractive ihniro cards are
n series by Miss L. B. Humphrey , and a
card by Mrs. Phobo Jcnks. The latter ,
two cherubs among lilies , is a thoroughly
Easter conception , and the former can
be classed among the best reproductions
of this house , as tar as drawing , color and
piintmg are concerned. One card repre
sents a female figure , who holds a pas
sion llowor in her hand , resting against a
tomb and looking out to the breaking
cloud of an early morning. In the other
floats an Easier angel with outspread
wings , lilies in her arms , against blue
sky and delicately tinted but undefined
ornamental background. All these come
plain and fringed , and some are made
into double cards , with appropriate
Easter versos. Original and delicately
tinted backs are on all. Several of these
series are printed on satin , and this part
.of the extensive line is further enriched
by a lurco Easter dove from the brush of
Henry Sandham , which has been printed
on satin only. Thu diiVuront fancy mounts
are almost entirely now in design , com
prising many of a decidedly Easter
character , such as un Easter Doyo Wing ,
Crosses , kggs , Calla Lily Leaf , and au
Easter Crown. The sentiments nnd
Yon > es have been carefully selected , two
books of Easter Hymns appealing partic
ularly to a literary predilection.
JAMES PVLE'S PEARLINE is highly
indorsed by housekeepers and otliers
who have tried it. No soap is required ,
and cleaning is done with a saving of
much time and labor. All housekeepers

and Ilcbntcs.
To the Editor : The movement re
cently inaugurated in Nebraska , looking
to a co-operation of the farmers aiul me
chanics of the state , in an effort to secure
right legislation and administration in
public aflalrs , is being watched with deep
interest by many thoughtful men outside
that wonderful young commonwcath.
The exceptional intelligence , civio virtue
nnd patriotism of the people of Ne
braska , as a whole , has been abundantly
manifested in the past , and that state is ,
therefore , regarded as a fair field , upon
which to lest the qapacity of the com
mon people , for such wise nnd patriotic )
action as would result in the emancipa
tion from many of their hard conditions ,
by which they are environed throughout
the common country. If the experiment
proves success in that stale , the example
will bo potential with other communities ,
which suffer and apprehend evils similar
to these which nflllct the people there.
The writer is not pat licularly informed
as to the plan formulated by which the
proposed co-operation is to bo secured ,
but presumes it a wise ono.
Labor unions , of various kinds , have
brought and will continue to bring many
substantial benefits to the member
ship composing thorn , but hitherto , a
nervousness in action , if not in spirit ,
lias characterised such organizations ,
which has tended largely to individualize
or localize , instead ot generalizing their
inllueneo. In the special sphere of each
there will necessarily remain many mat
ters of interest , policy and administra
tion , to bo controlled by these organisa
tions separately. There are , however ,
other and bro.xd interests , reaching in
common all who win bread by muscle
or brain , which can bo observed cft'oc-
lively only by au intelligent , judicious
co-operation of ajl those who under the
constitution of things share in them.
To meet this broader requirement ,
there must needs bo some sort of federa
tion of industrial organization and
powers. The added strength which
comes from union will bp obvious when
these separate organizations are feder
ated for a common purpose , as it was to
the individual comprising them , when
they united with their respective organ
izations.
Tlicro will inevitably bo some friction ,
inconvenience , and needed sacrifices all
round , at least for a time , when these
various organizations of workingmen un
dertake to make common cause against
common adversaries. But to pro-suppose
the noble of bread-winners
army - incapa
ble , or unwilling to make thet needed sac
rifices for the common goodis to estimate
them no higher as to motives than
we do the cormorants that prey upon them.
Selfishness manifested by nn organiza
tion of farmers or mechanics is not a
whit morq lovely than when exhibited
by a grasping monopoly , and no amount
of specious reassuring can make it appear
so. The unjust burthens imposed upon
tlio industrial classess of our country
under existing conditions , nro obvious
and grievious , but , if in the pursuit of
remeuies for prevailing evils , the methods
of the sufferers take on no higher charac
ter than that of narrow individual or
limited class interest , the hearts of men
will apprehend little difference between
the actuating mutinies of tlio oppressed
and tlia oppressors , and wjll witness their

comparative indifference. Evidences of a
willingness to do , and if need be to sutler ,
for the common welfare , will alone in
sure the approval of the just judgment of
mankind for their efforts ,
Are the farmers , mechanics and other
bread winners of Nebraska about'to ris6
to the magnitude of the issue of right
against wrong , of the people against
their confederated oppressors , forgetting
for the time who among them are farm
ers , who mechanics , who unskilled wage
workers forgetting who have boon , or
are republicans , democrats , crconbaol crs
or pro hibitionists-rfor-gcttiug alsosttio
fmVJceuont or present party proferoTTc'cs
of the men , who , being true to their cause ,
ask their suffrages at the polls remem
bering only their common wrongs and
the justice of their cause ?
How the intelligent , patriotic citizens
of Jfebraska , through tjicir actiop , "shall
make ans\Ver to suoh Tfuestion is what
some of us , tiieir conscious tcllow suffer
ers in other states , are waiting with ab
sorbed , hopeful interest to see.
Wo are painfully alive to the fact that
an aflirmatlvo answer to such a question
will not be easily made. Through tho'
ignorance , negligence or vcnally of their
chosen agents , the people have permit
ted or created the advantages which
monopolies , under color of law , now use
to in ono way or another extort from
them a largo percentage of the product
of their labor. Whatever has been un
wisely or viciously lixod beyond recall
must of course stand and bo borne. But
the highest court of Iho land has decided
that tha people through their legislatures
may regulate the operations of the most
oppressive of thcso monopolies ; and this
wo understand the good people df Ne
braska now propose , among other things ,
to do. It goeo without saying that tlio y
have entered upon a very great and Im
portant undertaking. Corporate power ,
intrenched behind its privileges and con
centrated wealth , will contest oycry foot
of their advance , and its resources uro
marvelous in number , and in effective
organization everywhere. It may bo
profitable to hero glance at soma of these ,
not because they are unknown to many ,
but because they must be mot and coun
teracted in the contest.
Corporate power has , doubtless , in ono
way or another , corrupted the sources of
the peoples' counsel and information , in
Nebraska , as in Iowa and elsewhere.
Going no higher than county ofilcials , wo
will iind the principal elective officers
with railroad passes in their Dockets , and
their voices , as a rule , are either in de
fense of , or apology for railroad moth-
ode and practices. Having the confidence
ot a majority of their fellow-citizens , as
shown in their election , their utterances
necessarily have an influence on the
wrong sido.
It is not insinuated hero that a free
pass on a railroad would actually buy the
honor of those ollioials. They probably
persuade thomaclvcs that their individ
ual outgivings are of little consequence
cither way under existing circumstances
but that frco transportation is of actual
value to them. What Is meant is , that
the railroads e\pect , and generally do
have their favor in a contest with the
people , These engaged in the reform
movement in Nebraska need not bo as
tonished if they find the force of their ar
guments ana appeals broken , or parried ,
by a brigade of ollioials with "dead-head"
railroad tickets in their pookots.
Then will come the heavy favored
grain and stock dealers and larger mer
chants , who dread losing their special
"rates ; actively , or passively , tjieir inllu-
encoyill tso on the side of monopoly.
Then come the little "putoiit-ouuido"
local papers , which exist all ever the
country , wherever two or three stores
are gathered together. To the extent
that thcso sheets are read and relied
upon and not a few voters subseribo for
no other newspapers their influence
may bo expected , as a rule , to bo found
On the side of monopolies. They are for
the most part useful and true to local in
terests and could nut well bo spared. That
they are the potty minions of corporate
power is not alffnys and perhaps not gen
erally the fault of the publishers. A case
under actual observation will Illustrate
the situation of many )
In n prosperous younj ; railroad town
in lown , the ccntef of \\-pll-to-do , Intel
ligent agricultural population , two young
men of charnctfir and ability wore pub
lishing ono of the two very rospcctabln
weekly newspapers of the place and
wore prospering. The property of some
farmers situaled hlong their lines was
destroyed by the railroads and fair com
pensation therefor refused by the roads.
Their news ape espoused the cause of
the injured individuals as against the big
corporations. For doing this they were
kindly warned of danger to their busi
ness. Hut with ntoro courage than busi
ness prudence the publishers persisted in
their course. They also ventured to crit
icise the discriminations , rebates pcclal
rales , etc. , practiced by the railroad man
agement. Soon the principal shippers of
grain and live stock abandonee ! them.
eon afterward , the heaviest merchants
wilhdjow their their advcttisiuc and job
patronngo , nnd thcso were followed by
nil big nnd liltlo who in the course o'f
business wuro in the habit of receiving
unequal fa\or3 from the railroad man
agement.
Trims "boycotted" by the railroad
power the publishers were forced to lay
their case before the farmer and me
chanics of their community and ask them
to sustain their own cause , by supporting
the paper. Expressions of approval ami
sympathy were abundant , and many
gave subscriptions for the paper , but
there was no general or ofl'ectlvo move
ment in the right direction , and consequently
quently the publishers were driven into
biiiikruntcy in less than a year. When
the industrial classes fail , or refuse to
sustain their own friends , as in this case ,
it cannot be reasonably expected that
others will advocate their cause nt the
cost of property and bread.
Through the present movement the
farmers and mechanics of Nebraska may
bo able to give their local papers such as-
fetiranco ot proper support as Mil make
them feel safe in heartily joining hands
witli them in the impending contest , but ,
if they cannot or do not , from any cause.
they may expect the iullucnco of many of
those papers will bo directly or indirectly
against them , and the aggregate of such
inllueneo will nol bo easily overcome.
We then como up ( or down ) to that gee-
tion of the metropolitan and provincial
press which is either owned or subsidized
by the great corporations.
For broad liberalism in politics , com
mend mo to your powerful monopolist.
His is the broad catholic spirit which
embraces republicanism and dom-
oenyiy alike all parties are equally good
to him , which equally serves his purpose
ho has neither loves , hatreds nor prej
udices in politics. It is scon that all the
monopoly organs in Nebraska , irres
pective of politics , are just now trying to
divert attention from the only living is
sue , by powerful appeals for fidelity to
their respective party organiiations. Lo
hero ! and Lo there ! strike the ear of the
citizen , let him turn in whichsoever way
he may. Like all the tactics of monopo
lists when plaj'hifi ' against the people ,
this trick is shrowiYto the last degree.
The appeal to'party ' names , party asso
ciations and pavty pride , is always po
tent with men jiul ( exceedingly hard to
resist. In common with most men the
writer can boar testimony to this fact ,
from his own experience and inner con
sciousness. He has been identified with
one of the great 'political ' parties for
moro than a quarter of n century , and
takes great pride in its honorable
achievements. It costs him a very great
ollprt to admit , it , and to declare that
neither the republican nor the demo
cratic party as a part3' has been , as is ,
true to the bread-winners' ' cause , in
their struggle against the tyranny and
spoliation of .intrenched monopolists ,
nnd that neither. n'arty can now right-

AVe have frionds.good and true , in each
of these parties , such for instance as Re
publican Van Wyck , of Nebraska , or
Democratic Reagan , of Texas ; but , thus
far , the henclimcn of monopoly , have
dominated the political organisation and
policy of both parties , and will continue
to rule them until the industrial classes
shall unite for the vindication of their
own cause. To make their united action

old parties from the domination of mon
opolies , men Qvarywliore imist bo reads

the men of Nebraska prepared to make

It Should Bo Generally Known
that the multitude of diseases of a scrofn

LINCOLN , Nob. , April 15. [ Correspon
dence of the Ben. ] The usual quiet after
a storm Is being experienced hero at the
political Mecca of Nebraska. The city
election is over , and the task of removing
the dond uml wounded has been about
completed. Whisky and the gravel
trains work wonders when they work
together as they always do horo-nnd
this year they have exceeded all preced
ing years , and now feel competent t6
"taoklo" the Van Wyck question and as
they say "down the old man. " Gore
recently saddled Jim Laird's oK-secrotary
on to General Mandorson , and now the
Journal 1ms a correspondent paid for
by the United Stales who can lie about
Van Wyck at so much per line , and thus
draw sustenance from both ends of the
lino. Of course General Mandorson
knows nothing about tlio matter ; cer
tainly not. Each edition of the State
Journa ! contains a big puff from Marnier-
son's secretary about
AVIIAT A WONDEr.rUI. SKNATOn
General Mandorson is ; what a hero Jim
Laird is ; and oiil what a scoundrel old
Van Wyck is ! Wo who are almost com
pelled to read this trash daily are willing
to admit if lie will stop the slush that
General Mandorson and the Marquis of
Stinking Water are immaculate and that
Van Wyek is a veritable "crazy horse. "
The clement that has been hired again
and again to bring victory to the railroad
ring will bo called on again this fall ; the
railroad commission , the live stock com
mission and the other gangs are all being
rubbed down preparatory to tlio great
race. Dawes , Nance , Cobb , Weaver ,
Laird , Paddock and tlio whole gang will
bo put forward some as candidates and
others as btool-piccons in order
TO CATCH THI : LOCAL sTitnxaTii ,
and if possible elect anti-Van Wyck
members. Dawes has promised to make
it interesting for Van Wyck in. Otoo
through his new Judge flayward. It is
au open secret that Hayward was not a
candidate for the place , and did not
want it ; but after much llattery by
Dawes and a strong press by Thurston
ho decided to acoopt. If Jim Uawcs
could succeed Van Wyck , and John
Thurston could oust Maudcrson , all
would be smooth sailing in the sweet
hereafter. Jim and John would make a
very heavy pair. Old Logan and Ed
wards and Hoar would take to the woods
at sight of that great pair.

Atlanta Constitution : The yarns that
newspaper men never talk about except
sub rosa illustrate the strange vicis-
situbcs to whicli the man who embarks
on the great sea of journalism is subject
ed. 1 know not long since that tlicro were
seycral of us congregated together in a
favorite haunt , and wo naturally began
to spin out weird legends connected witli
that profession which lay nearest our
hearts. Said a veteran editors "Somo
years ago I was editor , proprietor , typo ,
mailing clerk , bookKcopor , pressman ,
and devil and Tom Walker of a country
weekly. Perhaps weakly would bo the
proper way to spell is.
' 'Well , subscriptions wcro coming in at
the rate of two every three weeks , and i
was waiting for the forlorn hope of a
three-lino ad. to assist mo in whistling to
keep the ghosts ofl' , when a lawyer the
lawyer ot the village in which tlio An-
go halves in the team , so wo bulldozed
the owner of the only buggy and set out
on our journoy.
"Ragged Edge was a city set upon a
hill. The court-house square was a ten-
acre lot , and the jail was built far enough
away that the citizens wcro not disturbed
by some fractious criminal engaged in
the illegal occupation of jail-bieaking.
Around tlio square were several dwellings ,
two or threogoncralhtoros and a grocery.
"I put up at the only hotel in the place ,
which was a cross between an inn and
a farmhouse , and when I ate supper I did
so with a timid feeling , for I still had a
conscience then , knowing that unless
Providence interposed I would leave the
town indebted to the landlord the amount
of my bill minus ono year's subscription
to Iho Agitator and a half-column puff.
"After supper I strolled down to the
grocery. In and around it wore assem
bled ten or fifteen jurors , litigants and
court bummers. On a barrel in ono cor
ner of the room sat a iiddlor , sawing away
for dear life , while the audience chatted
in low tones , so as not to embarrass the
musician.
"I introduced myself as editor of The
Agitator , and all looked at mo in a sus
picious way as if they wore uncertain of
my calling , Two or three outsiders
caiuo in to gel a good look ut mo.
"Having learned to play the iiddln in
my youth , the thought struck mo to try
it on that audience , and when the iiddle
stopped for a rest I took up the instru
ment and began to rasp out a few notes.
" 'Do you play the fiddle , mister ? "
asked the grocery-keeper.
" 'A littlo,11 replied.
" 'Play the dickens1 ! muttered a follow
as hn took a fresh chew of tobacco ,
"That remark got my blood up. and
tuning the riokuty old instrument I began
to "ivo them 'Old llosum the Bow.
"By the time I got through the boys
were all silent , and the crowd had in
creased uutil there was no longer stand
ing-room in the building.
" 'Give us another , ' That's bulljV 'My
treat , como on and have somelhiii' , ' ncre
the remarks heard on every sido.
"After the drinks I began uirain , and it
was late before they let mo oil' .
' " that feller deserves '
"Boys , something ,
said the man of groceries ! chip in , now ,
and take his paper. '
"And I'll H)0 blessed if I didn't got
twenty now subscribers before 1 left the

"But sho's in JMkotn. She wont out

"I didn't sco her. "
"Didn't you happen to rhlo by any

"No. "
"Sarah whistles , but you may have

' Sarah and her husband have a regu

you may have taken another road. Didn't
hear any woman hollering , 'Dtirn it to

"Don't thinu so. "
"Sarah hollers that when she stubs her

"No. "
"That's Sarah , you know. Didn't stop

' 'No. "
"That's Sarah again. I guess yon
didn't travel muoh.'r
"But Dakota is a great territory , yon

husband to dinner at the other you must
have heard her. Maybe you are a liltlo
