oivr. TIIIM : A VACATION.
Today's WnMilngton Herald , In speaking
of the leave of several months which Secre
tary Manning Ims taken nnd Is enjoying at
the sea shore , calls attention to the many
poor women who aie dying fiom disease and
overwork In the treasiny ilenattmcnt who
aronot giantcd leave at all. These arc the
scrub women , whoso aalmles have Just been
raised from $15 to S-On month. The Herald
'ways ; " 1 know women , women just as well
born and gently nurtuied as even the distill-
finished secretary himself , whose only op
portunity for n week of lost and frchh air is
taken fiom them , Part of the cause of the
secrotaiy's Illness , say his physicians , was
the teirfbly utihenllhy sanitary condition of
thotieasury building. Vet his room Is largo
nnd better ventilated tlmn almost any in this
modern black hole. While ho Is away enjoy
ing sea air on full pay , wilt
he think of the delicate women
shut m > In small eloso rooms that
nte almost undeniable because * of the neglect
of ordinary decent .sanitary conditions , who.
.by reason of soineono'h iiider , me pievonted
from taking Urn little pittance of rest and
air they once had. Von should wo II. em.
Their faces aio bloodless. Their delicate
lives aio being slowly poisoned. They nro
" pale , Illoless almost , and yet tlioy cannot
"mill. Who Is responsible for their condem
nation to this slow death ? I speak for no
one In particular , but for C-J5 ; women who-mo
lighting their own battle with the world
with their own slender hands. Let them do
tholr work , but for ( Jou's sake do not con-
. . dcinn them to death by slow poison just be
cause some one wants to make a lecoul for
ccoiiomy. This rule exists in no other de
partment of the government. Let the piesi-
( lent take tlio cause ot those who seem to
have no helper and make It bis own. "

DAKOTA'S DKglltK.
Another constitutional , or statehood move
ment , convention adjoin ned at Slonx Kalis ,
Dak. , a few days ago. The object of tlio con-
, volition was to consider n number ot projects
1 ciurcnt to tnither the Interests of statehood.
By a decided vote the scheme to topeal a see-
tlon ot the constitution , or to attempt it , and
sot up an Independent htato government , was
voted down by a decided vote , and adjourn
ment was taken without doing anything. A
number ot letters havu been iccelvcd trom

ing of prominent lepubllcans whether thn
statehood movement is likely to die out In
coniiess , and whether , if the next house Is
republican , thcie will be anydelay In passing
a bill dividing Dakota and admitting apait
of It to statehood.
rt Diligent Inquiry has been made by repub
licans here as to this matter , and It Is found
that there will bo no delay If the next house
is seemed by them In passing a bill for Da
kota ,
" 1 will venture- the prediction , " said one
old member , "that throe months will not pass
IH tlio iiuxteonr.re.ss , if it Is lepnblican , till a
bill dividing Dakota and tuiniutlng as u state

it. Vos , Mr. Cleveland will sign It. He has as
good as said so. No , there will bonolcchnlcal-
Ules , no balks , with tliu lepublieana. They
MO all for Dakota. The circumstances have
entirely changed since the lepubllcans had
both houses or congress. Dakota has ncaily
'doubled in population , and the sympathy of
the whole country is with her. Hut If she la
admitted two years lience , nho will not take
jiait In tlm presidential campaign of that
year. No , the it'pnblic.ins as well as the Dem

not ask Mr. Clou-land to Mgn a bill which

July -5. ( Special Telegram to
the Br.n. ] Since the Cleveland meeting of
tlto'geneml assembly of thoKnlgliUof Labor ,
there has been a peeullarmovement going on
within the ranks which has attincted atten
tion , but nn explanation Ims been slow in
forthcoming. At once , as If by pieeoncerted
action , the radical or socialls-lle element be
came united , and presented a solid front
evo.'ywhcie. In Pennsylvania , Now lorl :
mid Massachusetts , as well as In the west , the
contest for supiemacy beirau between the
radical and conservative wings of the order ,
mid the struggle hnrc tlio same chaiactcrlstlcs
In every assembly. It was evident
that some powerful Influence was at
work , but what It was and where
llcatno Irom remained for some weeks a
mystery. It was known thaltho New York so
cialists wore working through an Inner circle
styled the "Home Club , " but this did not explain -
plain events transpiring elsewhere. Then
there came conclusive pioof of n secret cabal ,
reaching from Denver to Man Fr.xnclsco , led
byj. It. Buclinnan , of Denver , who was
elected at Cleveland as a member of the gen
eral executive board. With this as n trntdc ,
nnd by extensive correspondimcfl with west
ern points , it has been ascertained thai the
socialistic Inner circle Is widespread and Is
immediately confined only by Ihe limits of
the order.
The secrecy with which It has boon able to
shield its machinations Is due to the small
nnd select membership , which has been
picked out with the greatest of
care. The number In Chicago is
placad at ten. The small number
in the society Is the sourceof ] influence , bO-
canso they are enabled , by together secretly
working , to accomplish far" more than a
larger would do if their objects wore known.
The chief aim of the cabal i < ? to defeat Pow-
detly , wlioiepresents In a largo degree the
con ervatlvoness of the Knights of Labor ,
and the composition of the Ulchmond a-ssoni-
bly , which convenes In October , will bo a
gieatald to their pUns. The basis of repre
sentation Is one delegate for each 1,000 mem
bers , which will hi ing together .somo GOO delegates -
gates nt Richmond. In lanro assemblies , like
dlslilet No. 39 , which includes all ot Ms.sta-
chusctts , and district No. 4' ' ) , witli its 00,000
members In New York , the delegates will
be so near Richmond It will
bo an easy matter for the districts
to save tne expenses of their full
quota , while in the west the burden will bo
too great to be borne , and but halt or one-
third of the delegates the districts aie enti
tled to can be sent. Owing to the laige num
ber each district is permitted , it will also bo a
much easier matter to hero nnd there secure a
stiong antl-Powdcrly man than it has been
when but one or two delegates have attended
the general assembly.
Speaking ol the situation yostcrdaya prom
inent knight said : "The stand taken by
district No. SI against the anarchists In the
order seems to have been misundeistood by
many members , and it is time something was
s.ild In explanation. The statement , as 1 un
derstood it , was not aimed at Pnroons at all ,
although in his usual egotistical way ho
look it all to himself. Its object was ,
lirst , to place the order on
record In unmibtukablo terms against an
archism in general ; and second , to learn the
realMiensth of the .anarcbibt.wJnK.au ithb
order. Wo know.Jhobteiet ; 04lil&iS o'- ,
ciety , had located to our , own aatistactJpu--thp
mobt of its membeis , and dctcinifncd to
make a stand then and Ihere , and make the
contest on its tiue ground and not on somO
false position they might take to carry tlieir
point. The state assembly virtually upheld
our action. The rc.solntlons of the district
meant wliat they said , and some oue is liable
to get Into trouble befoic long. This Is all
theio is of it and I am satisfied the older
stands , lar better to-day than It did
when it was being made a
tool of to arou.se sympathy for
the eight anarchists on trial. We aio
watching night and day this aiitl-Powdcrly
movement and know very iieaily what shape
It Is going to take in Chicago. But what it Is
1 cannot tell you. 1 will draw the line
theie. "
The future of the order depends largely
upon the Issue now pushing to tlm test by the
radical wing and Its undcrgiound machlna-
tlons , and the lesultis of vital Interest , iipt
only to its bUO,000 members , but to the conn-
Irv goneially , ns It decides whether the con
servative policy is to bo continued or a wllj
.sy.stom of stiikes and boycotts , a lair Index
of which was shown in Martin Irons' career
In the bouthwestern strike , Is to prevail as
was the case in 1877.
AN AUTONOMIO ANARCHIST.
A Wlncly Reporter Finds the-Man

CHICAGO , July 25. [ Spollal Telegram "tq
the I5in. : | A New Yoik paper yesterday
printed a sensational story about an alleged
talk with one Jgnaco Swobotka.'an Austrian
socialist , who , the reporter claims , Is the man
who tlucw the dynamite bomb nt the Hay-
market massacre in Chicago. Tie | story goes
on to say that fiiday night the lepoiter met
the editor of Most's paper , who said In con
sideration ot profound secrecy for twenty-
four hours ho would bilng the reporter face
to face with the man whom States Attorney
( arlnnell would give $10.000 lo get hold of.
After many Injunctions of secrecy the re
porter and the socialistic editor went io a
house in Uast One llnnciiccl 'mid
Fifth btreet , wheio Swobotka has
been Bojournlng. hwobotka's alleged
talk is to the effect that ho was
an autonomle anaichibt and did work on
his own hook. Ho didn't affiliate much w ith
the Chicago anaichlsts and made his. own
bombs mid kept them In bis room. On tlm
night at the Ifaymaikctho attended the meet
ing ns was his custom , with a loaded revolver
ver an done ol his bombs. When the police
: ulived on the scene ho thought the moment
for action had nnlved and hurled his bomb ,
expecting all the Chicago anarchists to follow
wilt When ho found no more bombs cx- >
plodcd hudiewhis revolver and commenced
shootlnc but soon received two wounds which
caused him to seek shelter and a day or two ;
after ho lemoved to Now Tork for
safety. lie claimed to be in
communication with tlm attorneys for the oin
archlsts here , who , ho said , were sure of ac
quitting their clients. In conclusion , he said
he would go to Europe Saturday morning ,
but threatened to reluln unit wreak dire von-
go.inco In case luum befell Spies , Parsons or
any of tlio ganjf. The reporter wound up his
nariatlvo by putting Swobatka on board nn

RIDNG
* The Different Styles of the Cowboys
nucl the Cross-Country Men.
Theodore Iloosovolt in the Century :
Lost spring 1 haul to leave the cast in the
midst of the hunting season to join a
round-up in the caltlo country of western
Dakota , and it was curious to compare
Iho lolally different styles of riding of Iho
cowboys nnd the cross-country men ,
A stock ; saddle weighs thirty or , forty
pounds instead of ten or fifteen , and
needs an utterly diflbrent seat from that
adopted iu the east. A cowboy rides with
very long stirrups , sitting forked well
down between liis high pommel and
cnntle , nnd depends greatly upon mere
balance. In cutting out a steer from n
iierd , in sitting a bneking broncho , in
stopping a night stampede of many hun
dred maddened animals , or in the per
formance of a hundred other rcokloss and
diiriiiir liorsoiiiiuiship. the cowboy is ab-
soiutoly unoqiialod ; mid when ho has his
own horse gear he sits on his animal with
the grace of a cenlaur , and yet ho is
curiously helpless tlio first time lie gets
astride of one of the small eastern sad
dles. Last summer , while purchasing
cattle in Iowa , one of my ranch foremen
had to get on an ordinary saddle lo ride
out of Iown and see a. ranch of steers.
IIo is perhaps llio best rider on Iho ranch ,
and will , without hesitation , mount ami
master boasts thut i doubt if the
boldest rider in omj of-our eastern hunts
would care to tacWpv3j ° t > his uneasiness
on the now saddW , iys fairly comical.
At lirst ho did liot.Uuro to trot , nnd the
last plunge of the horse bid fair lo unseat
him ; nor did ho lje''iiito ' get accustomed
to llio situation ujml the very end of the
journey. In fiioMtlYuJWQ kinds of riding
are so very dillerenl that n man only ac
customed to one teelk'almost ns ill at case
when ho llrtit tries tiu other as if ho had
never sat on a horfto'ft'lHwk before. It is
rather funny to see a man who only
knows one kind , JindW conceited enough
to think that IhaUw really the only kind
worth knowing , wlion first lie is brought
into contact with'tho ' other. Two or three
times I have knuWJi men iry to follow
hounds on fitotM > - sAUdlcs , which tire
ndout us ill-suited ffor the purpose
as they well dan be ; while it is
oven more luughublo to BOO some young
fellow from tno east or from England ,
who thinks ho knows cnlirely too much
about horses to bo taunht by barbarians ,
attempt to do cow-work with his ordinary
-riding or hunting rig. Each kind is best
in its own place , and the man only no-
oustomod to one will at lirst find himself
a t a disadvantage whoa ho trios the
other , It must bo said , however , that in
all probability cowboys would Inarn to
ride well across country much sooner
than the average cross-country rider
would master the dashing qnd peculiar
style of horsemanship shown by those
whoso life business il is lo guard the wan
dering herds of the great western plains ,
A cavalry oillcer trained at West Point
is , perhaps , for all-round work , not un
likely to surpass as a horseman both cow
boy and fox-hunter.

Fully fifteen hundred people were gath
ered at Atlilolii * park at 8 o'clock yester
day afternoon to witness the game be
tween the Union Pncillcs and the Lcav-
worth nine. The homo team t.ppeared
in good sliapo aud were fully equalled
in that respect by the visitors , who were
ail follows and exhibited
big , good-looking ,
ited themselves to great advantage in llio
practice before Uio game. A few min
utes before 3:80 : o'clock B.andlo lifted
his cap to his mascotto , tlio big "coon"
who sleeps in the park , as ho walked out
to sprinkle whitewash on fliu batter's
plate and the game was called. The
Union Pacifies went lo lite Held and
didn't got into working order until Iho
visitors had pounded the sphere three
times in succession nnd made three
tallies with but litllc ellbrl. Sails-
bury recovered himseh then ami
fanned out three men. The home team
scored four runs , leaving llio game
closer al the end of the lirst inning than
it was again during the trnmo. The
Union Pacifies went to work in the second
end inning and the rest of the game was
marked by a series of brilliant plays thai
shut thu visitors out without another
sqore and showed , for I hi ) lir.sl time this
season , the true metal of Ihe favorites.
] ) ttgan caught with but few errors , his
throwing to second being astonishingly
swift and accurate. Ho is a big addition
to the nine also as a good batter and base
runner. Anderson was in his element in
right Held and made two line double
plays. Eli got there in left , and Brandt
did more than his share in center. Hoek-
well plaved lirst without a broak. Bundle's
second was as good as anybody's could
bo , Mclvelvoy's good work on third , ami
especially his unerring thrown lo first ,
formed a feature of the game. Dwyer was
hardly at himself , yet did all that was re-
quireu of him at short stop. Salisbury's
work' is shown by the fact that
in the last three innings only one man
hit.n bill and Salisbury got that on nn
easy bound nnd/jaughtthe batter on Ural.
"
The batting and" base work of llio home
tea'in Was exceptionally fine Ihe Union
l'acilics wore never stronger than at
present ami , as long 03 llio weather is
warm enough to permit Bundle's ' mas-
eollo lo sleep in the park , they will have
no trouble in doing up any nine iu the
Western league. The game was a great
surprise to the Leavenworth's , who
thought they had an easy victory iu sight.

PREACHING I'KNITENOE.
A. Missionary From Wisconsin With
a Word For Democrats.
The most noticeable veteran among all
those who passed through this city on
Saturday last was not the ex-governor
nor the department commander of Wis
consin. On the contrary , ho was a man
who had never risen to distinction in
civic lifc dllisiuamo was Edward Akins ,
'and ' he lives three miles from Mineral
Point , in the state mentioned. IIo was
of medium height , but as thin as a rail.
His attenuated form was wrapped in a
grey duster and his head was covered
with an aged felt hat. In the front of the
hat near the crown was placed a minia
ture Hag. Beneath this was an extract
from a newspaper , advising holiness in
the Lord , and still beneath this was
another suggesting temperance and
piety. His hair was dark and
dirty and fell in tangled masses around
his cars and upon his shoulder , dwariing
his small and wcaxcn features. A broad
strap rested upon his ri < ; lit shoulder nnd
went under his left arm. A hook was
fastened to this upon his breast , and upon
it liiuig a piece of cardboard , upon which
was printed the cabalistic words : "Demo
crats llcpont , " A scries of G. A. K. and
corps bailees covered his coat front ,
while in his hand ho carried a book and
a number of tracts. He sought seclusion ,
but when spoken to by Others replied
without hesitation. He seemed strongly
impressed with tlio fact that the demo
crats had tried to steal the country in
1861 , ami that they had not yet
atoned for their heinous crime. They
are still .stealing , in. his is imagination ,
and they are the devil's children. The
latest thieving act of theirs was the
stealing of his farm near Mineral Point.
Ho therefore feels called upon to exhort
them to repentance before the vengeance
of God is visited upon them. The old
gentleman quotes the bible with peculiar
llueney , and talus at a speed which ena
bles him to say a great deal in a very
shorttime.An inspection of his outfit
showed the canteen and rubber blankets
ho had used during the war , together
\yjth \ a number of other articles which lie
proposes to use on his way to Sail Fran
cisco , This singular personage is about
fifty years of ago , and since the killing
of General McPiiorson , which look place
near him , ho has been partially de
mented , lie was treated kindly by
everybody , though the questions pro
pounded to him by the curious , would
have vexed the Spinx.

An incident that caused considerable
unfavoaable comment concerning the ac
tion of Conductor George Kinkaid oc
curred on the incoming passenger on the
C. , St , P. , M. & O , Saturday afternoon ,
A pilgrim named Tom Donahue who was
lying asleep on the track nour C'alhoun
station was run over by the train nndluul
one of his hands cut nearly off. His in
jury demanded prompt medical attend
ance and as there Is no physician nt Gal-
liouu Donahue boarded the trnin to come
to Omam ) for treatment. Ho did not have
the munificent sum -IQconts with which
to pay his faro and Conductor Kinkaid
refused to carry him , notwithstandingtlio
fact that the man had been injured by
Ids train and was in great need of ructli-
on I attendance , As Kinkuid was about to
eject the unfortunate Donahue from the
train the indignant passengers , who were
acquainted with the facts in the casepro
tested unit puid Donahue's fare , besides
taking up a collection Builicient
to enable him to aecuro the

myself more at Salt Lake than at any
other plaeo I visited , if Omaha people
want lo take a vacation that will Uo some
good , I would advise them to go to Salt
Lake and bathe in the salt waters. That's
what 1 did , and never enjoyed anything
so much in my life. Excursion trains
run down to the lake several times a day
and they are all crowded. There- are
numerous bathing houses , and every con
venience is provided for visitors and
bathers. You cannot drown in Salt lake
the water is so thick with salt that it is
Impossible for any one to sink. All you
have to do is to keep your balance. You
sit upright , as if in a chair , and you can
float around all day. Wl.ile I was bath
ing I saw si hundred men , at least , iloat-
iugaroundinaaiUing posture and coolly
smoking cigars. By the way , I met Mr.
Shelby at Salt Uiko. You can rest as
sured that any Omaha people who visit
Salt Lake will always get a warm recep
tion and kind attention from Mr.
Shelby. "

SENATOR JONES' VICISSITUDES.
His Ups and Downs-- Ijucky Strlko
in Alaska ,
Senator Jones , of Nevada , has at
tended very conscientiously to his duties
this season , says a correspondent of the
Globe-Democrat , writing Irom San Fran
cisco. He is a man who ten years ago was
regarded as ( he equal in wealth of any of
the millionaires on the coast. He 'has
the faculty of rapidly acquiring wealth ,
which was never equaled liero except by
Milton S. Latham , the banker and spocit-
Jator , and he lias Latham's gift of rap
idly running through a vast for
tune by embarkiilg in visionary enter
prises. Jones niiKlc n huge fortune iu
lucky mining investments on the Comstock -
stock , but lie ifi not content to draw his
revenue from his mining properties. Ho
branched out into a tto/.en enterprises.
He sunk a million m Southern Nevada
tryjng to develop a camj ) which has ro-
maincd niorimind ever since. Ho imid.o
a similar attempt in Inyo counijin thia
state , and started lo build a railroad from
Santa Monica , the seaport of Los Ange
les , and was built on precisely the same
plan that the 1'annma canal is being duff ,
Every one connected with it had a lofty
scorn ot economy , and the petty narrow
gauge road cost as much as though
every tie had been made ot silver. Ik
linally reverted to the Southern Pacilio ,
winch is making money out of it as an
excursion route. Jones also sank a pile
of money in the Palace hotel with Hal-
ston , and this white elephant fell to the
share of Sharon wlicn the noblesl spccu
lalor California has ever seen ended his
life by suicide at North lieacii.
A BONANZA. IK ALASKA.
It seems ns though ovcrythine that
Jones touched brouglit disaster upon him
and six years nso no was living on the
fragments of his once princely iorUmc ,
regarded in much the same light as Jim
Keene is looked now by the men whom
