[ SENATOR VAN WYCK Is away from Vashington , but the literary bureau whoso headquarters is in Senator Man- dorson's committee room continues to .olograph abuse of the senior sonutor to Nebraska papers without intermission. TIIK agonizing struggle of the demo cratic party at Washington for a policy a very painful to witness. But it is no jinoro painful than the disgust which the imbecility and cowardice of the loaders 'at ' Washington have caused in the rank pnd file throughout the country. . . . - - - i i - - i i THE Chicago police deserve the great est credit for their bravery and cflicient Performance of duty during the anarchist riots.

These fully set oft * bo uncomplimentary remarks of the Buiigtown Gazette and Doadhorso Whang- doodle , which are quoted with so much i by the Nebraska tin cans. probability is that there will bo BO : labor disturbance In Omaha. The workingmen of Omaha are peaceful and honest citizens , many of whom possess homos of their own , and are satisfied with the present condition and prospects ol tiOairs in this city , They ara inter ested in the prosperity and welfare of Omaha and tlio country generally , and emphatically denounce socialism and anarchism , which can only result in riot , bloodshed , plllago and ruin. bo doing inimensodamago to settlement , but the number of entries 'tit Nebraska this spring , as reported from tiio various land olUcos , show no Evidence of the fact , There will bo hundreds of thousands moro acres of land taken up under the general land laws this year than were entered a year ago , Settlers who enter land to comply with the law know very well that their patents will bo forthcoming , The chorus acainst Sparks , however , docs not originate f torn this class. And that is whore the shoo pinches FOUTV-SIX pqlico olllcers of Chicago wore cither killed or wounded in attempt ing to preserve the peace in that city against tlio riotous mobs led by such ruf- . fi h $ us Schwab and his follow anarchists. , ' Teu thousand dollars was promply raised fi the board of trade yesterday for the Victims of dynamite and the red flag , 1 Such eceuoj as those which have ills- igniccd the great city on thu lake will mnd the battle cry of ' 'the anarchist * must go" ringing throughout the country d the loudest voices will be those of rlcan workingmen on whose geode o and reputation these posU of bo- are trading. Some * Oonserrntlvo Adrico. Mr. Arthur , chief of llio Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers , has recently presented somn views upon the labor question which must meet with the hearty approval of all who wish well to work ingmen in their struggle to improve their condition. In the first place Mr. Arthur took occasion to warn workingmen azainst the false notion that tlio chief end of labor organizations vrns to dictate terms to tlioit employers. lie boldly assert ed as a worktngman , and head of a great labor organization , that it is as wrong for them to demand that workingmen who do not belong to their organization shall not ba employed as it Is for employ * crs to rcfuso work to a man simply be cause he belongs to a labor union. Tlio right of ono man to begin work on such conditions as suit him is as much beyond dispute as is the right of another man to quit work because tlin terms do not suit him. him.Theso These arc the same views which Mr. Powdcrly nnd other wise nnd far-seeing lenders of labor have expressed. It is unforlunato that they have often failed to enforce their mod- crate and just sentiments upon the organizations of which thov arc the admitted heads. It is not to thn interests of workingmen to attempt to oppress their employers an d their as sociates. The success of orga nizcd labor will not come through force. It will bo attained by convincing workingmen and employers alike of the justice of their do- maiuLs. The demand' ) must como from tlio free deliberation and the full con sent of the masses and not from tlio arbi trary will or excited impulse of a few hot headed agitators. An irresponsible des potism which attempts to rule by fear can never take deep root among the free political institutions of America. The spirit of liberty which this country fosters cannot thrive amid arbitrary coercive practices , either on the part of the government or the gov erned. This -is what the great labor or ganization , the Knights of Labor , rccog- ni/.os as ono of its cardinal principles wli'ch ' cannot be too perfectly committed to heart by American workingmen. TlibMidlothian Manifesto. The appeal made to the electors of Midlothian by Mr. Gladstone indicates that the premier fools strong enough in his position before the country to forego a personal appearance on the platform in Edinburgh to conciliate his Scotcli constituents. His manifesto was accord ingly written and given to tlio public through the press. Mr. Gladstone gives it to bo understood very plainly that his homo rule bill in its present form is lilce- ly to bo extensively magnified before it is put on its final passage , and that provided its vital principle is sustained ho is quite willing that the details of its application should bo settled by parlia ment. This leaves the doors open for the return of some nf the socedors who have their defection upon certain clauses of the measure. The premier probably lias in mind the reform bill of 1807 which was brought into oxistoneo in much the same way as the homo rule bill of 1880. Lib erals under Mr. Gladstone established the principle that an enlargement of the franchise was necessary , and though tltoy were defeated and resigned on the form of the bill which they pre sented it was owing to liberal work and the education which liberals had given the country in agitating the measure that Disraeli was forced to take up the great questions and pass a bill em bodying its main features in a succeeding parliament. Mr. Gladstone insists that the neeesslsity for homo rule for Ireland shall bo admitted. Ho demands that the liberal party shall commit itself to work and vote for self-government on the part of the Irish people , This principle ad mitted , ho will make such concessions as may bo needed to pass the measure , pro vided always that they do not conflict with the principle which it was formulat ed to establish. Tlio Fight Has Begun. The campaign in Nebraska is about to open. The never-failing sign of the irre pressible conflict is the revival by the Lincoln paper , that subsists upon the pro ceeds of fraud on plundered taxpayers and monopoly pap , of the exploded and moss-grown story that Jay Gould once upon a time hushed the Omaha BEE with tv thousand dollars. No matter how often this impudent falsehood has been buried , it is always sure to bo rcsurrectod at the outset of every campaign. Nobody knows the true history of this transaction bettor than the rogues and jobbers on the Lincoln Journal. But that docs not matter to them. They know what Is notorious , that the BKE never for ono smglo Issue has been hushed by Jay Gould or any of his min ions , and If Jay Gould really did pay. hush money to the BEB.it was the first time in the life of the Wall street finan cier that ho put his money wliero it did him no good. It Is as wall known to that venal mercenary , Charles H. Gore , whoso whole career in Nebraska has boon that of a common prostitute to everybody who had money to purchase his favor , that the thousand dollars which was collected nine years ago by the Omaha BEB from the Union Pacific was for a broach of contract involving over five thousand dollars of job work which had boon tukon away from us after part of the work was done , because the BEK refused to dance to the music of the Union Pacific in the effort to defeat .a local railroad project which Omaha busi ness men were trying to inaugurate. Tlio papers that did prostitute themselves and sold the interests of Omaha and Ne braska for a moss of railroad pottage were given the job work for which the BEE had tlio contract and they , with just fetich pliant tools as Charles II. Gore , had the impudence thereafter to besmirch Hosowator because ho enforced his just claims for broach of contract. Fortu nately no such dispute can occur again to furnish the brazen brood of railroad editors material for assailing our intcg- rity. Tito BEB wont out of the job print ing business four years ago , and has left tlio Held clear for the owners of Lincoln and Omaha job olliccs with railroad newspaper appendages to till their coflbrs with its profits. Their failure to cope with the BEE iu its chosen Held as a newspaper is duo to the utter ack of confidence which the people have in mercenary editors like Mr. Gore , who can thrive only through collusion w > th publio plunderers and corporate mono poly , Since this gttug buvo seen fit to open this campaign , wo sorro them divine no- tlco that it will be waged on our henceforward with all the vigor nt our command. In the coming fight wo will ask no quarter. Wo are ready to measure swords with the corrupt confederates , nnd will teach them and their backers , bcforo the fight is over , that the day' ' is past whnn the people of Nebraska will submit to misrule and higliway robbery nt the hands of organized jobbers and public thiovcs. To Increase Frontier Protection. Both the house nnd the senate com mittees on military affairs have favorably reported the bills for the Improvement of Nebraska's two frontier posts , Forts Hobiuson nnd Niobrara. There should bo no aucslion of tiio pass ago of the bill making the necessary appropriations , especially in the case of the former.men tioned post , which lias been raised into commanding importance by the exten sion of tlio railroad to ( ho very heart of the reservation. On this account , next to Fort Omaha , It becomes the cheapest post to maintain and supply in the department of the Platte nnd the most available in case of calls for troops which can bo loaded on trains in front of their quartern while in every other instance a journey of from live to two hundred miles to thu uiilroad Is needed. Those considerations with the added ono that Fort llohlnson holds the key to the position at Pine llidgo agency guarding as it docs the White Hivcr valley with its thousands of settlers , makes it of the highest importance that'll should receive immediate attention. Nothing has boon expended on it for ten years and tlio post .originally built of logs lias fallen into a decay which makes it scarcely habitable. The appropriation which the congressional committee asks for will bo expended in rebuilding the post in a permanent and substantial manner , and enlarging the capacity to that of a ten company garrison. North western Nebraska , including that won derful and thriving little city of nine months growth and 2OCO population , whoso other name is Chadron , is vitally and intensely interested in the outcome. FortNiobrara , which is also mentioned in the bill , guards the right llauk of the Sioux reserve and while on this account scarcely as important a position as Fort llobinson , would afford protection if needed to the section lying south-oast of the reservation. Its importance has already boon substantially recognized by generous appropriations which have made it the best built post in Nebraska. The additional sum asked is to complete the improvements made and fix the garrison risen with all the accommodations needed for the muintonanco of a regiment. Nebraska and especially tiio frontier portion of the state is entitled to full protection on its exposed line. As long as 28,000 Sioux menace our northern border , at least two regiments should bo stationed to guard the exposed lino. The extension of the Elkhorn Valley road into Wyom ing will take away the hist excuse for the retention of Fort Laramic , which will lie fifty miles south of rail connections. A sound military policy would seem to dictate that the troops there stationed should bo transferred to the Nebraska frontier. PitETTr positive evidence has been secured - cured showing that the man who threw the dynamite bomb in Chicago is under arrest. If the evidence is sustained in court ho will shortly ornament a scaffold , and in all probability some of his coconspirators spirators will keep him company. The indignant citizens may not wait for the red tape and delay of a legal trial , but may introduce Judge Lynch and his wild western method of disposing of such worthless and inhuman fiends and mur derers. TIIE Chicago Herald , an independent paper with democratic inclinations says of Jeff Davis" march to the sea : "Davis is a croaking old raven still eager for re- vcngo. and when the ebullition of mingled curiosity and enthusiasm evinced in tlio present tour shall have ceased , a soberer south may be inclined to ask it self what it meant by extraordinary honors to a man who still proclaims himself - self implacable. " ACCOUDINO to the BEE'S Nebraska crop reports Cheyenne county , tlio largest in the state , leads all the rest m increased acreage , the increase being 350 per cent over last year. Our Sidney correspon dent states that a radical change of crops has been made in that county. "Former ly wo raised h 1 and cow-pnncliors , " ho says , "but now wo are raising good old king corn and small grain. " HEHK MOST , Mr. Schawb , Biobolbegcn and the crowd of boor-guzzling Hro- brand socialists which Germany lias vomited into this country should bo taught that the people rule iu f rco Ameri ca , and that there is an Iron hand to preserve - servo order in a democracy as powerful as any which they have felt in Europe. ACCOUDING to our - ad vices J. Sterling Morton is expected in Washington in a low days to spike s.onio office guns that have been loaded by Dr. Miller. This startling information is likely to cause an immediate trip by the doctor to the national capital. PRESIDENT CLEVELAND has signed the bill adding two now land districts to the number in Nebraska. Chadron and Sidney will unquestionably be designated as the points at which the new land oflices will bo located. THE aim and object of American labor organizations is to build up and .not to destroy , Lot the crazy foreign fanatics who are doing their best to , injure the cause of labor , paste this in their hats. Mu. CLKVKLANO , it is intimated , pro poses to bo married on tlio qulot. So ciety will never stand this , but will strike against it. Wo would suggest that the matter be arbitrated KNIGHTS of j > abor will not fratoruizo with the rod-mouthed knights of laziness who are trying to inveigle workingmen into the commission of the crimes of murder and arson. HONEST nnd sober workingmen of America are everywhere denouncing the blatant blatherskites who are stirring up disorders in our cities to advance their own wicked interests. To nuiLU or- not to build ; that is the question with many contractors who arc waiting fur ( bo labor tvoublos to subside. The moment that wor kingmcn nnd their employers in this section settle their minor differences Ihoibooin will begin in a way that will" frfghten the Omaha inossbacks out of Jhcir second childhood. fi Is no occasion for the slurs of the Herald agahis } , organized labor.

Declare that they have also apostatized ? It's a bad box those papers p laced themselves In. Hits tlio Nail on the Head Every Time. Crete VIdtttc. Senator Vau Wyck seems to hit the nail on the head every time. We don't see all his blows but tiio result of his constant ham mering Is apiKirent to ono who reads each issue of the dully Journal . Usually ono man on the organ was siilliclent to defend monop olies. Since Van Wyck has taken to the an vil , the monopoly defender is put to his wits end In his heroic defence and it takes an other able-bodied and able-brained Individ ual under the head of Topics to denounce the labor organizations , fanners nnd mechan ics. The outlook Is cheering. By All Means Let Him Marry. Kmth ISend Flail.

Ijlfo Among the Ncz Forces. Sim Francisco Examiner : The Indians of this coast have nearly all discarded their peculiar costume , and wear old and now civilized dress in a decidedly Indian fashion. Among the Nez Purees is seldom seen an entire Indian costume. Some times , however , ono is forcibly reminded of the parody : Jo ! the poor Indlan.whoso untutored mind , Wears all his clothes In trout and none behind. These Indians live in tents made of poles and covered with cloth or bull'ulo robes. The tents are left open at the top , and. as the lire is built in the center , tlio gmoko naturally goes out at the top. At night each individual wraps his blanket around him and lies down on the bare ground , without any other covering , The bucks arc fond of gambling and understand the value of a bob-tailed Hush. They know how to play u lonu hand , too , and if there is ever a scrapping match over the pot , there is u good Indian for breakfast already carved. A bird's-oyo view of their encampment reveals sonio curious phases , In the largest tent every night witnesses a high jinks which is made hideous by Uiu dis cordant notes of several tom-toms , a peculiar llute witli u bourse whistle , ao- companied by the women , who crone through their teeth. The dances and athletic exorcises are thu same as the POW-WOW and sun dance of the Sioux. Not the least interesting and nioturusquo are the children and tlo" * , which abound in great numbers. Tfju little infant is firmly tied to a bourd with a fatraii , which tlio mother puts across her forehead when who is walking about.

In their childish way tboy mimic the life of their elders , and they nra as quaint and ugly as tlioy are mirthless , The dogs contribute their share to the general fun and patiently submit to be ing ridden and made to carry nil sorts ol bundles. The children hnvo no com < punction about rnldinc ono another's play-houses , and many laughable things occur during llio mclco which follows. The children receive but little attention from their parents and are covered with vermin. They are all bow-logged be cause they nra not taken from tlio board until they can walk , and a great portion of that time their hands and foot are pinioned. They nro remarkably quiet , seldom if over crying. Less than half of them reach maturity. The Story of Dnti Smart. Emhozzler. Chicago Herald : " It is not gcnor ally known. " Bald a stock yards man , "that Dan Smart , who has just boon overhauled in Montreal for em bezzling $50,000 from Fowler Bros. , was ouco a resident of tills city nnd work- iiig for $1 a day. 1 remember him well. Ho was a common laborer in tlio Fair banks refinery , but was willing and apt , and finally secured an advance of ills wages to $1.50 a day , and afterward to $2.W ) . Ono day ho surprised his foreman by demanding n still further increase of his pay. " 'Why , Iaii't , < aid the foreman , 'you're already getting half a dollar a day moro than any laborer hero. You ought to bo satisfied with that. ' " 'You think hut I don't ' may so , , was Dun's pert rejoinder ; 'my opinion is that I'm not gutting anything like what my services nro worth.1 " 'And perhaps you'll bo good enough to toll mo just whatvou do consider your self worth , ' said the foreman sarcas tically. " ' \\ell , ' was the reply , in a nonchal ant tone , 'I reckon I could bo satisfied with three thousand a year for awhilo. ' ' 5 You could hnvo knocked that foreman down with a feather , " resumed the stock yards man. after lie had shifted a quid to the other side of His mouth. "Ho looked at Dan with a kind of vacant stare , and ftnally blurted outs "Why , man , you must bo sheer daft , crazy , Dan. ' " 'Not much , ' replied that worthy , as ho shut his eye and threw his head in tlio air ; 'you can bet that I know what I am talking about. My terms to this house are three thousand a year , commencing to-morrow morning. If that don't suit I quit to-night. ' "To make a long story short , Dan quit the same night. Ho hied himself as soon as possible to Ktumis City , called on the 1'owlor Brothers , ami in two hours had been etignged ami put to work on a salary of $3,000 a year. "Tho secret of it ? Certainly. Dan was smart in disposition as well as in name , thotigh he didn't take any pains to show it. Ho was , moreover , particularly observing , nnd he turned this faculty to good use. His labors took him into every corner of the works , and nothing escaped his eagle eye. He had a good memory , but , as the sequel proved ; he didn't trust to it entirely , for there was a little memorandum book in the hip pockets of his pantaloons into which as many ns a dozen points a day wont down whencuer Dan could got into a dark corner. In this way ho gradually got the hang of things until he know as much about the business and the processes in the factory as any of the high-priced em ployes , while his natural brightness en abled him to think of ninny improve ments which might be mado. It was this knowledge which secured him a place with the Fowlers , who advanced him to $4,000 at the end of the first year , and finally sent him to manage their New York branch at $5,000. He was getting , I believe , six or seven thousand a year and a share in the profits when ho bt-gau to dip his fingers into the firm's money. This is how Dan Smart degenerated from a dollar a day laborer in Chicago to bo a member of the American colony in Mon treal. " Not So Bad.
