The parade bad for its initial point Iho corner of Is'intb and ( i streets , and when tlio long column was in motion it extended in lonfjlb ovorsovcn blooks. The procession was beaded by the police of the city , tlio iiro department wore out in full force , and the entire line was one. of interest : ind amusement. It was Infill noon when it disbanded and tlio crowd began to take up tlio line of niareli for tlie park , to which street oars and carriages con veyed loads upon loads of sweltering , liappy , celebrating Immunity throughout tlio early hours of the after noon. At the grounds those who wished to picnic , picnieed ; thosea who wished boating , boated ; tlioio who wished oratory , listened and learned from the eloquent speakers the knights had secured for the day ; and tlioso who. wished saw tlio races , and others watched with listlessno.sstho game of ball. It is fair to say that , never before lias Durfco'.s street car line been more heavily laved to handle humanity , and earn went out from tint business center of the city loaded inside and out , on top and dragging at Iho guard rails , until a Turkishinuth was an leo house in : i fair comparison.

So intently are the wire workers engaged tlmt the grass on vacant lots in the city has not been cul nor the back alloys cleaned and as a con sequence we are to bo alllieted with po litical malaria , worms and the like. \Vo \ have about ! ! 00 Doliticians in soulh- orn ( ! ago , all ambitions to monkey witli the republican legislative machine. To say that it is a motley crowd does not fairly express it. Jim Clapp , the genial editor of the Motor aspires. Len Austin , of Sicily , aspires ; Captain O.M Murdock , Mayor Lallan , Itanker IJurch , J. I ) . Bloom and Dr. S. 11 Craig of Iowa 'Ten1' fame , all aspire to legislative honors. One or two are Van Wvek re formers from principle and tlio other fel lows are like Jay Gould , who was a republican publican in republican districts , demo unit in democratic districts and doubtful iu doubtful communities , but at all times are reaching after the swag. In fact , some of tlie candidates have a reach on thorn like a wagon toiiguoand every time they grab , it is for swag. The law of ad dition , division and sile.nco was loug .since learned in other lauds. Some of this species of genus homo have seized upon the immense popularity of Senator Van Wyek's senatorial boom to collar the granger and load him cap tivu to the polls. The mass ol the people hero pay no at tention of the rant of tlio subsidi/.ed press of the stale and Sonalor Van Wyck has more to lear from pretended friends than from open foe.s. Gage county is thor oughly organized , the result ot the unit ing olforU of the Wymoro Eagle and Omaha BKK. Almost every school dis trict boa its Van Wyck club and every legislative candidate must answer this question , Will you support Van Wyck for tno United States senate ? If a satisfactory answer is not given , backed by evidonon of a consecration to the peoples' cause , ho will bo smitten py the I'liUislincs hip and thigh with their ballot. Dr. fc > . II.

Idlers Kenp tlio Fruit of Industry null Hull lit Inuii'yVlillu ImlKii * ( iocs In llngi llto Keystone of Success. To the Editor of Iho HKI : : In previous communications I luivo endeavored to awaken renewed attention to the injus tice and wrongs imposed upon the pro ductive clashes by corpnrnto monopolies and other great aggregations of money. Neither the time nor space available would bo adequate to fulh point out the unequal and Iniquitous burthens which oppress tlio bread-winner classes in our country under existing sooiul and Indus trial conditions ; nor is it deemed neces sary ut present to iurtlicr uncover the hideous nakedness of these conditions. The occasional vigorous complaints sent up indicate that the people ot Nc braska ut least are coif-nous in largo Darts of the facts and source of a portion of their wrongs. Those tohlcli refer ence has been more prominently made in these letters , and to which the attention of the people of Nebraska should bo most strenuously urged , pending the present senatorial contest in that state , arc such as arise from thu abuse of corporate pow ers and privileges.Ve \ think it has been sulllelonlly shown 1. That our govern ments. . , national and local , in the exercise of the paternal functions with which they are invested by the common consent have created and tailored these corporations , us public agents anil for the nubile good , i ) . That tlie solo authority unit power possessed by our governmental agencies to create und contract with corporations rests uiioii the accepted theory and reason that such associations of men are able to inaugurate and curry out certain enter prises for tlio public welfare which could not well bo undertaken and carried out by governments themselves. ! 5. Tlmt these associations of men well know that our governmental agencies are possessed of no power or authority to grant to or invest them with privileges , immunities , benefits or powers Incompatible with the general welfare ; anil Ihatinso far as they liavo , by means of deception , bribery , corruption , undue inllucnco or other im proper instrumentalities procured advan tages of such a character , in or with their charters , they knowingly procured tlio naming of that which llio governmental agencies had no authority to grant ; that the transaction was therefore essentially fraudulent in its nature , of which the us- socialions had full knowledge and notice , and consequently the people are not equitably bound by the damaging condi tions.I. . That many of these corpora tions have heretofore and do now openly and defiantly violate the spirit and sub stance of their contract with the public , and luivo of right forfeited the advantages they hold and exercise. 5. Thatfor these reasons the people hnvo an equitable right to abrogate the charters of such corporations , and may do so if they so elect. Upon such high grounds should the " 1'eoplo's case in equity" be pressed against the confederated corporate rob bers whoso unconscionable greed has no parallel in the history of human sellish- nens and cupidity. There should be no parley or compromise- with men who have proven themselves destitute of all conception of .justice , honor , right or hum-in sympathies. In the readjust ment of conditions , now imperatively de manded , the people may and should ho the supreme arbiters and dictators. There is no fear that they will bo unjust to any one. It is impossible for a re liable people to mediate and consummate deliberate dishonesty. Actual capital in vested in corporate enterprises must and will bo protected , but not the thieving devices known as "watered stock. " The interest now systematically wrung from thu toiling masses upon fictitious mil lions of alleged capital will of course bo stopped. METHOD OP IMtOCKDUItn. That the hard conditions by which wo are now environed , througn corporate power , originated through and are por- putuutcd by our political agencies , ad mits of no question. That the only prac tical remedy for the grievous wrongs which the people sutler from that source is through our political agencies seems too obvious to require assertion. Haying studied out their wrongs , learned in what they consist , the source from which they came nnd the only prac tical remedy , it now remains for them to give ojVect to that remedy. Let it bo boruo in mind that familiarity with tlio facts and story of wrongs while it has its uses is not , in itself , remedial. No amount of mere complaint , no matter liow hard , indignant , grievous or pa thetic , over yet cured an evil. Action , intelligent , concentrated action is the supreme premo demand of the times ! Without this , all else will prove utterly futile with this , relief is within grasp. In union there is strength ; in organiza tion there is power , are maxims so uni versally accepted that ono Is at a loss for any words or form of expression by which any force can bo added to the sim ple statement. Organization has been the basis of all progress , whether moral , social , religious or political. In a troy- eminent oj ajid ljvtlw UOflJ'lCp Sr nnT/.d- H'jr. is a prerequisite to any utteetivo po litical action. The common experience and observation of American oiti/.cns nuiko them familiar with th's ' fact , but , strangely enough , they uro often not suitably impressed by it. Minorities uro apt to bo mindful of it , but ovor-oonli- dent majorities sometimes knit their or ganizations loosely , and when they do , they soon find their party has become the minority party. Whenever , In the history of this coun try , any considerable number cf people hnvo bccomo possessed by an idea or which it was desired to embody in the economy of the state , tliu first stop has over been in the direction of organiza tion. Sometimes the process has been gradual , like the gathering of the stream lets in the mountain sources of thu finally irresistablo rivers ; at others , men liavo sprung into the columns of a mighty host , us if summoned by u magician's ' wand. Men of middle ago have wit nessed such movements. When , with us , organization reaches from the central national head down through state , dis trict , county , town , ward , precinct and flliib when the inspiration of eloquence , and music , and torches , flying banners anil marching columns of free men , till the land then the grandeur und force of mor.il ideas , which constitute the wonderful power of this government be come apparent , and their movement is moro sublime than that of the mightiest lorcos of physical nuturo. lint thu force of Ideas are made manifest only through organization. It may tend to encourage the doubting , stimulate the slothful , and lix the irreso lute , lo briefly cite a few instances , show ing the rapidity and power ot organisa tion in our public ufluirs , taken from thu later history of the country , which are chosen solely for the purpose of illus tration , und with no intention to survey a personal opinion a& to the merits of issues from tiuio to time involved. About the year 1891 , the managers of both thu then principal political parties began to bo astounded at tlio results of local elections. In sows localities' thu dominant pai'fy. habitually resting quietly in tin 'assured largo majority , found after the b.xilotsoro counted Hint they hail boon ignontimion ly de feated , and the result traceable to no assignable cntish. In other placi where the strength of parties was admitted nearly equal , nnd the contest fought with much vigor , heat nnd bitternes * , the count of ballots showed the election of some man whose candidacy was , ( ill then , wholly unknown to any otto who would admit nny knowl edge of it. Politicians all over the coun try .suddenly found them-chcs "at eu" in thu matter ol political calculations- , and the "knowing ones" nmonc them soon found that they knew nothing at all. Tliis was the early work of that short lived , but vigorous parly called Amer ican , or know-nothing , which in thn space of a little more than two years , sjiruug from nothing to a strength sulll- cient to dispute for power with both thn old parties. An apprehension of danger from certain sources had taken pimes- sion of the minds of very many citizens , and organization gave force to the senti ment with a fiiddenness and power which startled the whole country. The organization of the republican party was ollooted in February , IS'iO , ami in the following November It succeeded in ciioo-ung the presidential oleetors in all the then free states , except four , and in the meantime laid the foundation of its political power , in the nation , which continued unbroken for a quarter of a century. This was simplv the organiza tion of the conscience and i judgment of the free state's , aroused by tlie arrogance and aggressions of tlio slave power in the government. During the war the patriotic sentiment of HID loyal states lound stimulus mid ex pressions through the Union league , Sol diers' Aid societies , the Sanitary com mission , etc. , the aggregate influence of which was wonderlul and grand and beyond computation. A more recent and still more striking Illustration of the power ot organization In giving force in this country to the sentiment of the people , is furnisher1 by the examples of the southern states of tlio union. After the close of the late war , tlio great mass of the southern pro- plo were taught by their leaders to be lieve , and they did actually and honestly como to believe thai the federal govern ment In its attitude toward them was false to the terms and spirit of their sur render ; that the reconstruction measures of Hie government were inspired by envy , hatred , malice und low revenge ; that thu enfranchisement of their former slaves was n wanton insult to a bravo but unfortunate people , purposely intended to humiliate and degrade them ; Hint the result of the enfranchisement of the igno rant negroes would lead to anarchy , and the wipiuir out of what they most prized in civilization throughout their seetion Subjugated , disarmed , impov erished amid the ruins of their former homes , the proud spirit of this people , chafed against the iron rule of circum stances the bound thorn. Physical resist- since was of course out of the question , yet thu people were de termined to resist hud uvado whatever they conceived to be harsh , insulting , de- gradinir and destructive conditions which tlie govcnimenUwas attempting to force upon them. At this juncture llio brain andskillof the leaders of this indomita ble people , hon y-conibed southern so ciety with organizations , mostly secret , embodying the common sentiment and purpose of the people. The inlluencu of these organizations soon became as all- pervading as the Air , and for the most part as unseen and intangible as that element , nnd yet in their cllccts at times terrible. They in deed and in truth con- stilutcd an irresistible umpire , which was within its sphere all powerful. Whom it would this empire ruined his private business ; whom' It would it made social and moral lepers ; whom it would it van ished from iu domain , and sent further with blackened reputation ; whom it would it destroyed utterly from the face of the earth. It eliminated society , the press , the church , and the temples of jus tice. _ In twelve years from the close of Iho war these people hud regained absolute power in every state of the defunct con- lederucy and had made the senate a po litical unit in harmony with llielr own views. In eight more years they gained political ascendancy in the nation and to-day their infliiouoo clammatos the government to which , us rebels , thoyaur- rendered unconditionally , only two short decades ago. From their places in the minority , present loaders of the once omnipotent , republican party , indulge in oratorical pyrotechnics , impotently shako their lists in the faces of the once loaders of the dead confederacy who , from their seats of high power , serenely smile at such performances , as being only fustian and buncombe , intended for use with the gudgeons among the honorable gentle man's constituents at home feeling sure thai in Iheir own minds no measure or policy submitted or suggested as yet , by republican leaders will jeopardize the lease of power upon which they entered March , 1835. All moral considerations apart , a moro forcible illustration of the power and of- liceney which comes through close or ganization , than this example of lha ox- confederates could not well bo found. A still moro recent , and in ninny re spects timely illustration is found in the various labor organizations , and conspic uously in Iho young giant , the order of tlie Knights of Labor. The lesson hero taught mighl bo followed at great length undwith much profit , did spnco permit. It must snlllce to say that , by means of those organizations , wagoworKors have lifted themselves from the helpless do- penitence of virtual slavery which marked their condition as separate individuals , tea a power which Is often ublo to compel re- instances whoroin' they have , compelled fair treatment at the unwilling hands of greedy linns und corporations are too numerous to be referred to in tills connection , but are familiar to most in telligent readers. Tlio other instances , wnore the grcml of capital has boon de terred from attempts at oppression , are ot coin-so unknown , but may safely bo put at thousands. The Knights of , Labor have compelled the most haughty , arrogant representa tives of corporate power and greed to call n halt in their courses of highhanded rob bery and oppression. The morn exist ence of this organi/atjpu has drawn the attention of ( Jig liigTiObt executive and legislative fuitTiorities of our government to the special ngodK of the productive classes , Never. In the history of this country , has tub "laboring man's inter ests" hold such prominence at Washing ton , as within thn hist eight month * . Such hasty glances as the foregoing at the manifestations of the power of organ- i/ation shown bv the recent history oFour country , ought to strongly impress oven the imfilloront with the value of that agency in shaping our public affairs. It is not all essential that a man should see clearly the whole course to the lini h. before - fore making a movement. Tlio dullest man among us is conscious of some une qual burden , which might be lightened or luted Irom his shoulders altogether , by the political agencies of the country. Ttiia 13 reason enough for him to take ono step by joining his fellow in an effort to readjust the existing wrong adjustment. The iailuro of mon to take this lir t stop to advance as far as they sco clearly , Incause tlio linal results and the proei.-o methods by winch they are to bo wrought out tire not in full view , is tlio chief mi- son why they find themselves so cruelly environed us they do to-day. The wrlter had passed from one ex treme of this broad country to the other , mingling with all classes und conditions of people , lidding few outside tlio moneyed plutocracy who do not fool themselves the victim of some unjust .social or industrial burden , chargeable to partial , or which iniclit be lifted by right legislation. The lot of "tho com mon people" everywhere ts felt to bo hard. The wrong of the discontented em braces a l.irg.-'p art of tlio whole people. An undelined feeling of restlessness is everywhere apparent. They * eo , or be lieve tlu < \ ? < v , that there is no corresponding pending impro\ement in the rendition of the marges , while the aggregate wealth of the country i being piled up billion upon billion ; that idlers reap the fruits of the workers industry ami roll in luxu ry while labor goes in rasr . that govern ment is rapidly passing Into the hands of a wealthy plutocracy , and society fn t becoming organized in the interest of roliliorv that the courts , while theo retically open to nil are practically closed to him who has a grievance against n wealthy adverviry. especially it that ad versary bo a rich corporation , because thole is then IK ) real equality between the persons ; that while the law rules in the country nnd ordinary lohbers are pun ished by the courts , ( lie corporate robber is permitted to rob with Impunity , There is a wide-spreading , deep-seated feeling that there is something funda mentally wrong in the prevailing order of things , but men stand as if da/.ed and .stunned by the contemplation of the an- omoly presented. The genius of leader ship seems for the time either to have departed - parted from among the masses , or men now hick the tolf-relianee which charac terized our immediate predecessors. Hut it is impossible that this condition of public opinion and feeling should con tinue very long. Like chemicals held in solution , which may bo orystali/.ed in a moment , the now inactive host will spring into compact organization and gather jmto their own hands all the powers of government which of right belongs to them. Then will thn people's cause in equity be tried and won. won.CATO. . Sttr.XANDOAH , Iowa , July 1 , An InlereqtliiK Projjrnmnio The Ora tion of Gcnnrnl Hrl-Uiln.

Never in the history of the county has so many people been together , und if this is sign of loyalty and patriotism , Cherry , in proportion to population , should bo the banner county of the state. The immense concourse mot in town and headed by the Niligh brass band marched to KvarlV beautiful grove on picturesque Mimic- chadu/a , a half mile north of town. The procession was over twice that distance in length. After music by the band ( a line ono ) , prayer was offered by Hev. Iloldsclaw. Chaplain Lewis not having come , ami the Declaration was read by 11. C. Dear. General lirisbin was tne orator of the day , and never in life has it been our pleasure to listen to a more masterly oration on jhis our nation's birthday. It was brilliant in its concep tion , yet showing careful , painstaking in dustry in our government's statistical history , sublime in its pathos , convinc ing in login , and delivered with splendid oratorical clfoct. The vast audience applauded to the echo. aixnit.\.i , mii-nix's ADDIIKSS. General Hrlstiin began by saying ho imag ined the gceno presented to-day In noitli- western Nebraska was very similar to tlmt presented a hundred vears ape In Pennsyl vania nnd Ohio. We have a new people in anew now country redeeming the soli from barbar ism and converting it to the wants and con veniences of mankind. Ho believed In the patriotism of thp people and prcdieted that the men and women of the punsent day weio not ono whit less patriotic than the men and womtin of ! 1670 , should occasion rbijiiliu them to display tliblr patiiotism. Ho then spoke of tlio war and said the union was thoroughly reunited and stronger to-day than it over was. Partisans for political purposes might display the bloody shirt , but the proplo took little stock in such political domai(03iics ( and the mnn of the north and the south were thor oughly united once more with not a stripe erased or a star obscured In our ling. Tlio genoinl reviewed tlio causes of. our separation from Cireat Britain and paid a glowing tri bute to the sires of 177(5. ( Ho then showed our growth ne a , nation from 177ti np to the present duy , the latlo of increase of popula tion ench tea years , and tidd we now had by actual demonstration nnltm.4Kt Inhabitants. He next took up the Louisiana pur chase , showed what It waft and the effect this purchase. made by Thomas Jefferson had had upon the United States. Ho noted the prediction of the great Napoleon that tlio American people some day bccomo too powerful for Km ope. Ho spoke of Napoleon's wonder- lul foresight when he said , "Perhaps It will bo said that Americans will overrun Knropo In two or Ihree centtnles. Hut my foresight docs not embrace ftiich icmoto feait ) . Ue- > ides wo may expect rivalries among the states of the American union. The confederation which they call perpetual only lasts until ono of thi contracting pni tics llnds It to his Interest to bieak the confederation , " "It was wondoiful , " Bald General Hrishln , "how the great Napoleon had predicted ex actly what had liappnncd in 1801 , but even the gieat Napoleon was nils- taken , for the Union I nut proved stronger than ho thought It would be ; It had gone through the test whore ho thought It would bieak down , and now , tlmnk ( ! od , it would never break down. rChoors.J The exact prediction of Nupoluon that the union would disrupt and the events from IbOl to 1W15 riveted our attention on his nation would do when It had a population ot two or three hundred million. 1'tio general then showed , by quoting statistics , tlmt the United States was by age , population , wealth and commerce thu first nation ot the wet Hi , being only 110 years old , while ( Ireat Mritaln was dating from William tlio Conqueror , MX ) years old , rianco dating fiom Chailmnango 1,100 , ( iormany the same , Kiivslu dating from I'oter tlmgreat , KOO years old , Austria il'Ulhg ' troin Charlomaugo 1,100 yOittd old. He showed too floin actpldiitU > tlcB thntnot- wlthstaiiillngpur ! iiolt ! of complaining , our Kovijr.njjiontnFor Its size and wealth waw the moM economically administered on the face of the globe. Ho said wo would have 0,5,000,000 of people In IbW ) , anrt probably go Into UKW with a population of W.000,000. H was expected that ( jcnural Itrlbbln would touch upon the labor question , and this imit of inn addicss received the closest attention. Ho said ho saw no hope of a decrease ol riots until capital and labor could bo binuirht to a better understanding The labor question was to-day thn Ihst ques tion of impoiUinco in the United States and appealed ahko to all classes and all comiuun- ItuM. Capital , as now organized , was sys tematic lobborv. Capital was a polite robber' preying upon the poor and lobhlngtho poor man of lib just racompunso. Nobody filed to rlevatu the laboring man , make his labor more iitliai'tlvo or iccompunso him better lor his tool , The Inboicr could not understand why the banker , with u capital of HOJ.ouO should toll in luxury und btill clear $10,000 a year \\hllo the poor man , toil and save as ho might , could baruly keep body and soul to gether. The ono dressed his wife and children in silks ami satins , the other dressed Mis wife and children In rags , liut how could this ho remedied ? The general Raid : " 1 do not pre tend to know , but 1 do know that It must he lemedicd somehow , and the cotulltlhn of the laboring man made uuuo attiuctlveand lus oppressive. I , of course , have my own no tions about U , but f do not knew If they are thn right ones. I will tell you , howfner , frankly what I think , for he Is a poorptiullc teacher who points out a wrong without at least trying to suggest a icmedy. Labor sliouUljieacuiibly combine the labor of tlio rich. The operative should have an Interest in the factory , the miner in tlio mine , the farmer in the soil , the builder in the house and the dljieer In the well he digs. In a word labor must co-operate , build Houses nnd cea&o to- pay pro tits to boarding housu keepers ; they should keep stores uiid us lar as pobsiblo get their goods at first cost ; In one word cooperate ate nnd combine the labor ot their IiaixU acalnst the capital of the ileli. It hud boon found tlmt capital associated tmcthcfe\en when bfldly umnntcd : pioduccd eient pinliu ami It would tie the aimilth labor if U would Intelligently a oolatc its Inleiest to- sether. One man coiiul not build a fartmy , luit a doz.'ii associated them < < 'l\es toirctho , Imllt It and made mnnc.\ . One operative in that factory could not rent a house and fur nl-h it hut ten cmdd combine and do It and thus a\e themselves fiom theextoitlotH of lMMidlnchou e keepers. If they sot their own table what they would save In the COHI-MI of the ) . ear would pnj their rent ami thev would Inno besides the advautaceof a pleas ant and peimanent home. These are some of the lemedies against the picscnt discon tent and pi'rlmpsIMT men tlmnlamcnii suiriresi other * . " Tlie ccneral then took up the IrlfOi auc tion ami said , "The other day In speakiuvc heie to the ( Irniulirny solilleis I said It I were not an American I would at thi * time most wNh to be au KnglNhmau that I might help Hint Ki'.iud old man ( ilmKtone obtain home Mile for Ireland.
