Protection and Imbor. '
Those people who advocate the policy
of.protection on the ground that it is In
( lie intdrost of labor either are not ade
quately Informed as to the facts' regard
ing the situation of labor or wilfully ig
nore thorn.'In the first piano the labor ,
employed In ilin' protected Industries U
only a'very small percontugo of the .total
lubor of the country , so that if the policy
did secure any direct and positive bcno'
Utt to labor , thny would bo enjoyed by. n
comparatively few , to improve whose
condition the great majority would pay
tribute ta protection. 'It is shown , how
ever , by the figures of the census , and
these can bo verified without very
great effort ; , that labor in , the
protected Industries , taking the entire
range of wages , is not so well paid a :
that which is not protected. Carpenters ,
bricklayers , furniture makers , for exam
ple , receive a bettor average of wages
than workers in iron and steel , and in
woolen and cotton mills , .This wat
true seven years ago when the census
was taken and has been true ovci
since. Nothing Is more clearly es
tablished , and the evidence can bo found
in abundance , that what can alone prop
erly bo called protected labor is , so far iu
the vital matter of wages is concerned
really.not protected ao all , but iu worse
off than other labor which can fairly be
compared with it.
How is it with reference U
the claim that the protcctlor
policy gives employment to labor
_ During the past ton or twelve years , will
the exception of perhaps three of cxccp
tional general prosperity , the number o
workingmen in enforced idleness in tin
country has ranged between one ant
three millions. Ten years ago the csti
mate was of the latter amount , and dur
ing the past twelve months of grca
activity and prosperity the number if
believed not to have fallen below thi
former amount. Another very import
ant fact to bo considered is that most o
the protected industries do not keep thcii
work-people employed more than three
fourths of the time. According to th <
last report of the Pennsylvania bureau o
statistics , out of the ninety-eight chic
industries enumerated only twenty-nim
kept their men employed 300 days. Tin
coal industry , which occupied nearly one
third of all the laborers of the state , ken
them employed less than 200 days. Oiv
industry kent them only 133 days , cm
ploying on the average 11,000 laborers
Woolen goods , employing 7,000 laborers
Kept them busy only 250 days. Uollinj
mills , employing 3:3,000 : , could find worl
for them only 230 days. A similar result
or perhaps one even less favorable , wouli
bo found by an investigation of the sit
nation in other states , whose Industrie
are most largely under the ajgis of pro
tection.
Nor docs the policy of prolec
tion conduce to the peac
and contentment of labor. I
has never exhibited'greater unrest thai
during the past two years , and it will
probably bo found when the record i
made up that the present year has beei
without a parallel in the industrial his
tory of the country in the number am
extent of labor disturbances. Hvery wheri
workingmen , largely of the class allogcc
to be protected , have been struggling tt
maintain or improve their wages. Uis
content has been general , and a groa
deal still abounds. This labor has amp !
reason to know that the protected capi
tal has prospered , but it justly complain
that it has not shared m the benefits o
the system. It is seeking its own way o
rcdross in organization , social and polit
leal , and promises to urge its demand
with considerable force.
Protectionists may ignore but the ;
cannot put down the faets which conful
their false claim that labor is protectci
by protection. ThO'Unansworablo argument
mont of the figures is that the pohc ,
ewes no benefit in wages to labor , th
unprotected faring better than the prc
tccted , while of both it makes an exac
tion which is but so much tribute to th
monopolies , which are the real and th
only gainers from protection.
JACK DUDOSE , who was recently ni
rested on suspicion of murdering tin
Woolfolk family at Canton , Georgia , i
said to have confessed his guilt. It wil
bo remembered that Tom WoolfolK , th
only member of the family who escaped
was suspected of being the murdorei
and at once taken into custody. The in
furiated neighbors were determined t <
lynch him , and his neck was only save
by the strenuous efforts of the coole
heads. Tom's wits appear to bo som <
what befogged , and being obstinate als <
ho could not bo induced t
say much about the trap
edy , and this reticence wn
construed Into an evidence ot guilt II
claimed , however , that the murder ha
been committed by negroes , and that b
had escaped by jumping through n win
dow. Doboso's confession confirms th !
story. Since the massacre there lias bee
a great deal of comment over youn
Woolfolk's inhuman depravity , but th
sequel shows that those who judged 1m
so severely have done him agreat wronj
and that the would-be avengers cam
near committing a fearful crime. Agai
and again innocent persons have bee
lynched. It is time that this relic of bat
barism wnro more generally discout
tonanccd by public opinion than U i
and so done away with. The condition
under which this rude form of justic
arose no longer exist , and there is n
necessity for iVs conttnnanco. The II :
of its innocent victims Is a long one an
u blot upon our history.
' A 1'nlntcd
The democrats of Massachusetts U
not cut so largo a figure in. political ca
dilations as do those of some otlior.staU !
heuco no very great .significance is give
their utterances. ' Truothere , have boo
two democratic victories in the state in tl :
last ten years , ahd'it cannot'be consid
orcd impossible that there , should be ai
'other'bnt no one. seriously expects i
and with this feeling general , Mrtssaclu
eutts democracy Commands only , a pas
ing attention. Fpr a year or , two thei
has been a' good deal of dlsailtction i
the party administration and auti-admii
istratiou elements , and some of it still e :
iststhough the organization la probably i
somewhat bettor shape now thnn it wn
ayer.r'11 0. There is a very ; largo prc
portion of .Massachusetts- democrat
however-who arc too heartily hostile-I
civil service reform ever to feel very col
dial toward the administration so lohg' >
it 'professes devotion to that Dolicy.
.Tho platform adopted at the late coi
Tendon was clearly an. effort tongatbl
roth elements in the party nnd smooth
> vcr factional differences with respect
: o .tho administration. Therefore the
usual complimentary references were
made .as to'honesty In'carrying out
promises and pledges , nnd so on. Bui
Ihcro was ono pointed .suggestion whlct
showed that the clement which has not had
the car nnd favor of the administration
required to bo placated. Federal ofll-
3ials In Massachusetts have not been able
to keep their hands out of politics , nnd
their interference has been especially of-
Pensive to the unrecognized wing ot the
party. A plank in the platform reads
that "no ofllcor should bo retained In the
public service who has shown himscll
an offensive partisan , nnd wo think that
a sense of propriety to the administra
tion of which these arc n part requires
federal ofllco holders representing the
administration in.this state to discharge
from the public service any of the subor
dinates against whom charges of offen
sive partisanship can bo substan
tiated. " There Is 'of course m
sincerity in tins as an avowal o
principle. The average Massa
chusctts democrat , In common with tin
average democrat everywhere , doesn'l
believe that any olllcoholdor should havi
his political rights curtailed. It is si in
ply n warning to the fellows who have
got the best of it in the favor of the ad
ministration that they must be satisliud
with what they Imvo and leave the man
inulation of state politics to those win
are not recognized at Washington. I
remains to be seen how far the pointo <
admonition will bo respected.
IT is an unpleasant and delicate last
for an editor to make n graceful Hop ot
any question , and especially onn which
has boon hotly contested and strongly
supported. Yet when a flop is made ou
of respect to the demands of a growing
public sentiment it is to say the leasi
commendable in any ono to acknowledge
the error of his way and fall in with UN
majority. Mr. McShane's change ol
heart upon the policy of police starvation
by the council will meet the approval o
nine-tenths of the readers of his paper
And it is refreshing to see that shoot giv <
expression at this late day to n little com
icon sense in the discussion of the polici
question. Its advice to the council ti
nay the starved policemen is qvidcntl ;
forced by the recent movement inatigur
atcd in this city by business men to allbn
substantial relief to the policemen legall ;
appointed , but unrecognized by the
council. When the taxpayers of an ;
community unitedly back their sentiments
ments upon public policy with opci
purses , it is enough to set the Oupositioi
to thinking. There is absolutely no excuse
cuso for the stubborn and illegal actioi
of the council with reference to th
police , and the pcoplo are determine )
that the cotincilmcn shall not ride rough
shod over the wishes of tl.o.so who clcctci
them.
A JUDICIOUS nnd practicable plan for i
public market , that shall bo free from al
handicapping conditions , will not lack i
very general and hearty support Suel
a project is so strongly commended b ;
every consideration affecting the inter
ests of a largo majority of the people
that they need only to bo presented ti
unprejudiced attention to secure favo
for the project. There is no other wa ;
that can bo quite BO effective in solving
the problem of cheaper living for th
masses of Omaha's population , a matte
that has a very important bearing upoi
the future progress of thi
city , nnd particularly upon th
position it shall take as ;
manufacturing centre. The danger to bi
avoided is ono common to the inreptioi
of such enterprises , and that is a ninltl
tudo of chimerical and impracticabl
schemes in the confusion of which th
object sought will bo tossed about hopelessly
lossly for an indefinite time. It is an entirely
tiroly practical matter about which thcr
is nothing experimental. The value o
such an institution to a community am
also as a source of municipal revenue ha
been amply demonstrated by the experience
enco of other cities. There is not th
slightest reason why this oxporienc
should not bo repeated in Omaha.
THK council did well in putting uchec
upon the over-zealous enterprise of th
street railroad constructors which ex
hibits itself in tearing up the streets a
their pleasure , regardless of time or put
lie convenience. The restrictions m
posed upon these parties by the resoli
tlons adopted by the council on Tucsda
evening , as well as the requirements di
mandod of them in the prosecution c
their work , are entirely reasonable an
should bo enforced. The pcoplo will we
come the completion of these improve
ments , which assure ampler facilities an
more expeditious travel , but there doe
not appear to bo any rcaso
why they should be asked t
maUo the sacrifice of every convenionc
to themselves in order that the corpora
tious may carry on the work wholly wit
reference to their own convenience an
advantage. The franchises are very va
uablo , and thu companies can very we
afford to conduct their operations so tlir
the public shall suffer thu least possibl
annoyance or inconvenienceeven tboug
in so doing they will have to somcwlu
increase their outlay.
THK predictions of a coal famine I
one of the robber coal barons , shows tin
the grinding monopoly has not boon coi
spiring and plotting against the public i
vain. That they now try to throw tli
odium of the high prlco of coal upon th
iuter-stalo commerce bill iho ws that tiiet
IE ) no limit to their brazen audacity and n
sense of moral shame left in them. Tl
scarcity of coal , if it exists as stated , an
the high and still rising prices have a
been brought about by the coal monop <
lies. There can bo no question abet
that. The coal is there , the men and tl
means for producing it arc at hand , an
nothing but the conspiracy of the coi
highwaymen can keep 'it locked up i
the mines.If such wide-spread distres
Is experienced as is1 now ' threatened , a
outraged public may rise In its might an

will not soon forget.

that there is great danger in the crossing

ATTENTION of interested parties ia
called to the manner jn which the vari
ous street railways pave between tin
rails at crossings. Instead of using tin
hard granite blocks , a flat sand or othui
stone should bo put in wherever a cross

to apply to the old as well as the new

The Career of Ourajr'a Widow.
Denver Republican : Among the
squaws Accompanying Colorow in hi ;
peripatetic journoyings about the White
river country is Chipeta , the wife of the
lamented On ray , the Into head chief ol
the Ute nation. The career of this woman
is beyond anything yet written ; even
Fonimoro Cooper , in his description ol
aboriginal life , falls far short of anything
like it in his character sketches. Follow
ing Ouray's election to the chieftainship ,
thu first official act he was united upon ta
consider was the advisability of a re
moval of his tribe from the mountains ol
Colorado to Utah , and in connection with
a proposed treaty between the United
States and thu Utu nation lie was sum
moned to Washington. On his trip he
was accompanied by his wife. 15oth hn
nnd Chiputa had in a measure adopted
the dress of civilized life. They owned
tluur own ranch , their herds fed upon
their own pastures , and in essentials lived
ns white people nnd enjoyed thocoinfoits
of civili/.ed liie. These facts preceded
thn chief and his consort to Washington ,
and with all the romance of their moun
tain lifo clinging about them , added In
the heritage of an ancient and warlike
lineage , tnoy were received with open
arms by the high social circles of the
capital city. Everywhere Ihu.y were feted
and the doors of the mansions in thu
West End swung inward at their ap
proach.
Chipotn was idoli/c.d. She was clothed
in silk , hur raiment was tlm fancy of the
bust eastern dressmakers and the tn\vdj
finery associated with u life of savagery
was conspicuous by its nbsmicu. The ii-
lustrdtcit journal took the cue HIM ! the
wife oj Ouray became labelled through
out thu breadth of thu land by thu pencil
of special artists. She was thu rage foi
the season shu was in Washington and
the epistolary correspondence from at
taches of tlm English legation to tin
court journals at London referred to hoi
us a "Modern Princess. " and bespoke foi
her a hearty reception from thu peeraac
of Kngl'ind should she visit that country ,
which she at that timu actually contum
plated. As souvenirs of hur visit -tr
Washington , Clupota carried away will :
tier miantillus of silver plates a portion
of which was presented to hur by the
Government through thu interior depart
ment ,
Shortly after his visit to Washington
and the conisummatiun of thu treaty
Ouray died , Ho was sincerely mourned
by his people , and ns nn Indication of
thnir criof. nnd in conformity with lone-
cstabllshvil custom , the horses of the
dead man were led up to the grave nnd
ono by ono shot. All that was valuable
in earthly oxlstanco was to accompany
him to the happy hunting grounds of his
race all but Chipeta ; nnd she too ,
would probably bavo accompanied her
llcgo lord had she lived a con pie of cen-
tnrlo.s ago. As it was the custom of her
tribe , by the greatness of her exalted
position , condemned her to a life of per
petual widowhood. Any deviation from
this unwritten law would draw upon her
head the maledictions of the entire nation
and she weald become an outcast , n
pariah among her people.
Hut Chipeta had n will of her own. She
had tasted ot the prlvclegus which her
Caucasian sisterhood enjoyeU , and when
the opportunity occurred to marry n
handsome buck she did so , not stopping
to consider the great fall thereby in the
i ;
social scale. As might have been ox-
pcctcd , the head men of the nation , with
unanimity nud dcoison , condemned both
her nnd her husband to ostracism. They
had both violated a sacred law of social
government they must sillier. With her
now alliance she turned her back
upon civilized lifo in every form.
Hur.sllks nnd satins were discarded , and
oven her plate was molted down to make
gewgaws for her husband's friends , llui
stock was taken from her nnd reverse
followed reverse tilt she wa < absolutely
forced beyond the line nf tribal kinship ,
nnd she with her husband became a
wanderer.
This , doubtless , was hurried by the un
fortunate mistake which she made in
locating a ranch on thu new reservation ,
It was an excellent slto. There was
plenty of water , and bulfalo.niesqult and
gramma grasses gave nourishment to the
stock. When the lines were made divid
ing Utah from Colorado it was found that
Clupota's ranch was on the wrong side ol
the line , and not in the reservation. It
became , therefore , legitimate plunder
for the settlers , who lost no time in di
viding the spoils. *
Like the renegade of hur tribe. Cninota
in her wanderings tended to the White
river country. There at least she would
be welcomed nnd some respect paid to
her tnllen greatness. She and her hns-
husband joined'Colorow , and are now
with him environed by the military forces
which the governor has despatched for
protection of the settlers of Garlleld
county.
Telegraphic advices say that so mo
apprehension is felt for Chipeta's safety.
She was in n tent which was fired by
Sheriff Kendall's party on their first visit
to the Indian camp , and she has not been
seen since. It is not nt all likely that
she has bcon harmed , she has bcon com
pelled lo practically take to the bushes.
Chipeta is growing' old. Shu must bo
in thu neighborhood of fifty. Colorow
was once her enomy.as ho was the enemy
of the peace-loving Ouray ; but when her
white friends turned on hur she sought
straits in lifo where she could find friends.
It is not now believed that she entertains
a warlike spirit toward thu whites , but ,
being with Colorow , she is in bad com
pany. One'O the queen of the nation , who
is now leading the lifo of a common
squaw.
THE "ROBINSON MEDAL. "
A Tribute to the Brnvo Mnn Wlio
Saved Mr. Sownrd'n Lire.
NVashington Critic : In ono of the exhi
bition cases near in tluinorthurn entrance
to thu National museum , ana a fuw paces
from the cases containing the Grant
rulics , is n bron/.n medal some four or
five inches in diameter , which is : i copy
of a gold nicdiil that by votu of the
American congress was awarded to the
man who heroically saved thu life of Hon.
William H. Suward from the hand of the
assassin on the day and at the same hour
when President Lincoln , in Font's thea
tre , on Tenth street , fell beneath the
miscreant's bullet.
As many objects of universal interest
acquire their brilliancy and lustre from
their association with men and women of
other days , who have been famous for
something or other , so this bit of bronze ,
to casual glance similar to hundreds of
other bronxo medals on exhibition , becomes -
comes an object of special notice by rea
son of the event it commemorates.
The obverse of the medal has a fine
profile liguru of Secretary Sowaul , the
work being finely executed , circled
around which uio the words :
To ( icprge P. Hohlnson.
Awarded by the Congress of the
United States , March 1,1871.
Across the face of the modal in hori
zontal lines , both on the right and left
sides of the portrait , is this inscription :
For his heroic conduct on the
14th day of April. IbO-'i , In saving
the lifo of thu Honorable
Win. 11. Howard , then Secretary
of State of the
United States.
The reverse contains a realistic sccno
of tiiu desperate encounter between Rob
inson and Paine , or Powell , the assassin ,
thu knifu being visible in the latier'a
hand ; while in the background , upon the
bed , laytho form ot the wounded and
half murdered secretary. There is no
inscription upon the reverse of the
medal , except the name of thodesigccr.
"O. W. Coffin , des , " and the word
"PaquotF. "
Secretary So ward at this time occupied
the fine old mansion on Fifteen-and-a-
half street , the east side of Lafayette
Square , which is still standing. It waa
occupied as a club house for many years
previous to its occupancy by Secretary
So ward , and it was in front of its door
that General Daniel . Sickles in 18,19'
shot and killed Phillip liarton Key. The
details of thu affair will bo remembered
by the older residents of Washington , ns
well as thu excitement attending his trial
in the District court house and his ac
quittal.
How t'cmosrn-stninpi Are Mode.
Summervillo Journal : In prlntingsteel-
plates are used , on which two hundred
stamps are engraved. The mun are kept
nl work covering thorn wit1' lie colored
inks and passing thum to a man and a
girl , who nro eaually busy at printing
thum with lanro. roll ing hand presses.
Three ot these little squads nro employed
all the time , although ten presses can bo
put into usu in CIHO : of necessity. After
the small shoots of paper upon which the
two hundred stamps arc engraved have
dried eno'igh they are sent into another
room nnd gummed. Thn gum used for
this purpo.su is n peculiar composition
made of ttiu powder of potatoes and other
vegetables , mixed with water , which is
bolter than any other material , for in
stance , gumarabic , which cracks the
paper baulv. This paper is also of n pu-
cuimr tuxturn , sornowlntt similar to
thai ot bank notes. After having
ugain , neon dried , this timu on littlu racks
which nro fanned by steam powur for
about an hour , they are put in luitwcon
shouts of pasteboard and pressed in hy
draulic presses capable of applyiing a
weight of two thousand tons. The next
thing is to cut thu sheets in halvus ; cneli
fthui't , of course , when cut contains a
hundred stani)3. | They are then passed
to two oilier squads , who , in as many
operations , perforate the shouts between
the stamps. Nnxt , limy are pressed
oneo more , and then packed and labulml
mid stored away in another room , prep
aratory to buing pat in mail-bags for
dispatching to till orders. If a singla
Htuinp is lorn or in any way mutilated
the whole sheet of one hundred Is burned.
Five hundred thousand nro burned every
wcuk from this cause. For the past
twenty years'not tv .single sheet has been
lost , such cilro hasbmsn tnkun in count
ing thum. During the progress of man
ufacturing thu sheets are counted ejovca
tinioj.
