" THE hardest thing yet said against Mahono is the charge of ox-Congress man Brady that ho Ijas appropriated to his own use thousands of dollars received for campaign purposes since 18SO. Brady estimates the amount entrusted to Ma- hone at fully $100,000 , of which ho be lieves the greater part remained in his keeping. The charge has madoalivoly bonsation in Virginia politics. Tin : latest disaster on Lake Michgan , in which all on board the propeller Vernon are reported lost , is the most terrible of the season. More people have found watery graves in our inland lakes this fall from shipwrecks , than have perished in a similar manner on the Atlantic. It is high time that pas- bongor boats on the great lakes wore constructed on more seaworthy plans than they aro. A CAitEKUii estimate of the wheal crop for the prcbont year in Minnesota ! and Dakota has been made by the St , Paul Pioneer Press , It states the total product for the two at83,000,000bushels moro than half of which will bo thippoO and the balance turned into flour at Min nesota mills. The grade in both the Htato and territory is higher than usual There is an increased acreage devoted to wheat in Dakota , but in Minnesota' the wheat acreage is slowly but btcadilj decreasing. THK projected Red River road to tin Manitoba boundary has fallen through The citizens of Winnipeg , who won askcdjo contribute $300,000 , were sus picious that the local government wai not acting in good faith about the con Btruction of the road , but in collusioi with the Canadian Pacific , and refuse * to contribute the money. Such an outlet lot would bo a great benefit to th ( Canadians of the west and also to tin Americans in the northwest , and i formidable competitor to the Northon Pacific. A PJIILAIJULVIIIA paper bays the pee pie of that city "havo in nothing show : their independence and common Eons so much as in their complete emanclpn tjon of the election of their judges fror the control of party.

' , ' IB Tlicro Discrimination ? A Lincoln paper , which blows hot and cold at 'the BEE by turns and de votes most of its time to abusing and misrepresenting Omaha , pltchos'.lntotho IKE ferociously because it has scon fit a favor concerted and united action by .ho commercial bodies at Kansas City , St. Joseph , Omaha and other Missouri river cities to bring about a national reduction of railroad tolls and a stop page of unjust discrimination in favor of Chicago. Wo are challenged to produce any facts that would justify the proposed appeal before the inter-state commission. Wo could cite columns of facts and figures to justify our sup port of the movomontby Mis- < bourl river cities , but wo need only cite one single example of the out rageous discriminative exactions bo- tu'cen * Chicago and the Missouri river. Take the rate on iron building beams and Iron castings , for Instance. From Chicago to Minneapolis , a distance of 488 nillcs , the tariff on that ( fourth ) class of freight is 12J cents per 100 pounds , while from Chicago toOniahaadistance of 600 miles , the rate is 00 cents per 100. This is a difference of $3.50 per ton against Omaha and all Missouri river cities , when the distances are practic ally the same , and the traffic botwconChicago and Omaha and Chicago and Kansas City is greater than between Chicago and St. Paul or Min neapolis. This is a drawback not only to the growth and prosperity of the cities af fected but to the entire region west of the Missouri , including Lincoln. But anything that tends to cripple Omaha never enlists the sympathy of the bat- blind editors of the Lincoln papers. With them it is "anything to down Omaha. " An Unfair Comparison. There has recently been a great deal of misinformation and misrepresenta tion contributed to the eastern press re garding alleged real estate speculation in the west. Beginning with the "booms" in California , the correspond ents have given their attention to ev ery locality in which there has been a very marked activity and progress dur ing the past two years. The general character of their statements hhows their attention to have boon purely per functory. They evidently had a specific duty to perform , which was to assure the people of the cast , and moro partic ularly the capitalists , in as plausible and convincing a manner as possible , that the rapid growth of western cities was built upon insecure founda tion , that speculation rather than legitimate conditions has been at the bottom of it , and that there is not far oil a general collapse with all that such an event may imply. Intelligent people in the west , knowing the general ab surdity of thcbo statements so far as they apply to cities like Omaha , St. Paul and Minneapolis , for example , dis miss them with indifference , but they undoubtedly make an impression on the cast and therefore should not bo ignored by those whom they affect. For this reabon wo commend the notice taken of these misrepresenta tions by our valued contemporary , the St. Paul Pioneer Press , which defends its city by facts and arguments with patriotic earnestness. Wo have to re gret , however , that it fell into the mis take of making comparisons which roilect cither upon its knowledge or its sense of fairness. It says : "Omaha is a city of about half the sine of St. Paul , with not a tithe of its commercial im portance ; Yet the same classes of prop erty which are held hero at from Sf,000 to $1,200 per front foot , arc hold in Omaha at from $2,500 to $3,500. " The Pioneer Press can have no excuse for its statement regarding the population of Omaha , which it ought to know is fully 100,000 , and therefore at least two- thirds the size of St. Paul according to its claim , which it is entirely bate to as sume is not understated. As to prices of real estate in Omaha it may plead ignorance , but it can hardly justify it self on that score for so gro s a misstatement - statement as is made in the above quo tation , when the truth could easily have been learned. It is not improbable that there nro owners of real estate in the central busi ness portion of Omaha who hold it as high as $2,000 per front foott anddoubt less , in time it will bo worth that , but the very choicest property sold hero up to this time has not brpught that amount. A largo proportion of the business property in Omaha that is pur chasable can bo bought to-day for the figures which the Pioneer Press says are asked for the best business corners in St. Paul. Wo believe the average price of real estate in the two eitios will bo found to differ very little , and there is a reason why property in Omaha should bo a little higher in the fact that St. Paul has a rival which is quite as enter prising and far moro attractive. Equally unjust is the remark of our contemporary regarding the relative commercial importance of the two cities. The aggregate value of the business ol Omaha is unquestionably less than that of St. Paul , but it is growing as rapidly or moro so , and having quite as largo an area of country as St. Paul in which tc extend its trade Omaha has the advant age of being the undisputed metropolis of the territory tributary to it. Not tt consider this in making a comparison ol the commercial importance of the twc cities would be to omit a most essential part of the question. The prosperity o St. Paul is undoubtedly legitimate , sub stantial and permanent. That of Oinulu is equally so , and neither city will bt benofitted by misrepresenting or seek ing to detract from the other. Impartial Juries. "Tho federal constitution guarantee ! to persons in all criminal prosecution ! r trial by an impartial jury nectsouril ; the constitution of every state doeb tin samo. There ought , to bo no diUlcult ; in determining what constitutes an im partial jury. Clearly it must be com posed of men who are wholly frco froti any bias or prejudice for or against thi accused. The old practice of oxcludin ) from n jury a person who Imsknowludgi i- ol the .case to be triedyobtaincd fron newKpap.er accounts 'or ciirrorit report 'has'bcen a"bando.ucd 'in many of | ln bUlp'sj and'doubtlct.v in time will. bo ii all of them. Intelligence and informa tion are not so universally a bar to jury service us they' were ' not many years ngo. In some of the states the fact of a man having ex pressed an opinion docs not disqualify him as a juror if ho can give satisfactory assurance that such opinion will not interfere with his reaching a judgment according to the evidence. Nobody will seriously question the wisdom of the reform that has taken place in the jury system. The old idea that complete ignorance was necessary to impartiality made trial by jury ridic ulous. Evtyi If this were not so the Idea could not bo adhered to in communities where nearly everybody is a render of the newspapers. Under the old rule It would Inevitably happen in many com munities that a jury could not bo obtained. The latitude in this matter , however , has its lim itations , and it is the claim of the attorneys for the anarchists that these were overstepped In the case of at least ono of- the mem bers of the trial jury. This man , It is alleged , had not only expressed - pressed pronounced opinions regarding the case , but was known to have a very fctrong prejudice against socialists and anarchists , and the charge is notdonicd. Though the supreme court may not re gard this fact as sufficient to show that the jury was not Impartial , it is very certain that it is bo regarded and will continue to bo by a great mans * people who have not the least sympathy with the doctrines and practices of the con victed men. As indicating the probable action of the court in the case of the anarchists , so far as the only admitted federal question , that of the constitution of the jury , is involved , reference has been made to the murder case of Hayes vs. Missouri , in which the ground of application to the supreme court was the discrimina tion made by the state law respecting challenges in cities and rural districts. In the decision of the court , to which Justice Ilarlnn alone dissented , it was pretty broadly declared that the whole matter of the constitution of juries is ono of legislative discretion , but the necessity of securing impartiality was nsistcd upon as among the highest luties of the legislature. "It is to bo 'Oinembered ' , " said the decision , "that uch impartiality requires not only freo- lom from any bias against the accused , > ut also from any prejudice against ds prosecution. Between him and ho state the scales are to bo evenly lold. " The claim of the anarchists' at- ornoys is that they wore not so held , nasmuch as at least ono of the jury had i pronounced prejudice against the ac- ; used , and there are a great many in- elligent and law-respecting people who igreo in that view. Pertinent ami Impertinent. At the risk of being pronounced very inpertinont , the BEU proposes to put a ew pertinent questions to Commissioner icorgo Timmo , to-wit : 1. What became of the buck-board wgffy bought of Lininger , Mct- alf & Co. on Juno 13 , 1SS7 , and why vas the bottom of their bill torn off vhen it was attached to the county voucher ? Will Mr. Timmo enlighten us about this investment in buggies and explain whether or not it was county or lor&onnl property ? 2. Why was the bill of J. B. Southard for $300 , dated December 81 , 1881 , al lowed during Mr. Timmo's term , when lie must have known that the commis sioners in office at that time rejected the bill ? 3. Why did Mr. Tirnme vote away $11,000 more for tho.retaining wall of the court house on Voss' plan than the contract called for ? 4. Who is Ch. Nagol , where did ho do county work amounting to $15.05 , and why did Commissioner Timmo sign the voucher when it was already endorsed over to him ? 5. When Ch. Nagel sold forty-eight dollars and seventy-five cents' worth of potatoes to the county why did Honest George receive the money ? 0. And last but not least , why docs Ch. Nagol's nnmo appear on the vouchers in different handwriting ? How about those potatoes anyway ? The BEE is very inquisitive , and when Mr. Timmo has answered the above questions , wo have a few more to propound. 1 _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ SOME of the indemnity lands recently withdrawn from the Northern Pacific have now boon definitely opened to set tlors. Applications will bo received on and after November 7 , at the United States land office in St. Cloud , Minne sota. Those settlements will bo subject to claims by the railroad company and if such claims are presented within thirty days a hearing and decision will bo given by the register and the re ceiver. It is not probable , however , that the railroad people will go to the trouble and expense of disputing the claims of settlers after the secretary of the Interior has decided that they have no right to the lands upon which the now settlements may be located. THE report comes from Washington that an effort will bo made In congress to abolish the signal service. This doubtlcfcs refers to the army simply , in which signal instruction has been for f-overal years regarded by most army officers as of very little value and nn ex pense that might bo properly lopped off. There is not the slightest probability that the weather bureau will bo discon tinued , but it is far ] moro likely to be enlarged and rendered moro thorougl : and efficient. Unquestionably there is room for this , but admitting the exist ing defects In the system there would be a general popular opposition to itf discontinuance. WE had almost overlooked the gveni event that took place the other day h high social circles , when the paving and sweeping contractors and Mr Bechol vied with each other to oxhibi their appreciation of one of our mostdis tinguished councllmeu , Mike Leo. A this unique social gathering of kindrc * spirits , Mr. Bechol was the most genla 'participant.

This is stalwartism with a vengeance ! LOCOMOTIVE sparks were responsi ble for the destructive fire nt the fair grounds , and locomotive sparks nro bo- liovcd to bo the cause of the disastrous fire at Dictz's lumber yard.

Ono thousand coke ovens are being built in Birmingham , Alabama. Finillcy , Ohio , the great natural gas place , is to have another railroad , Philadelphia brick-machinery makers are Bonding machinery all over the boutli. Ten acres have been bought In Baltimore on which to erect largo electric motor works. The Now England electric light companies are crowded with orders for factory light ning. Ship building on the Palfic coast is very actlvcfon account of the growth of coastwise rafllc. A Belgian manufacturer has Just rccctxtd i contract for 12,000 tons of steel rails for an African railroad. South America is exhibiting a marked prcf- srenco for machinery and equipments from , ho United States.

In Canada manufacturing enterprise is rap- illy developing and machine shops are bolng tilled with the very best machinery. Good authority says that Uio boaMniildlng capacity of the yards along the lakes will be doubled within twelve or eighteen months. The Sprague electrical system for moving street cars has been sufficiently tested in Boston. A company will bo formed to intro duce it. . A company has bought Or 0,000 acres of land n several counties of West Virginia and 100,000 acres in Tennessee. The Iron ore is very rich. A Now Bedford ( Mass. ) company has just shipped a two-inch rope 2,800 feet long , weighing 2,250 pounds , to Illinois for oil-bor- ng purposes. Western machine shops were never so full of orders as at this timo. Everything In the way of building material has been ordered away ahead. The manufacturers of looms , boilers , en gines and nil tools , largo and small , have a larger amount of business on hand , now than they have had since January 1 , The manufacturers of corn-shellers and harvesting machinery are meeting with what Bomo of them term startllngly rapid increase la the demand for their machines , A new cartridge tool has Just been invented to enable the shooter to make his own am munition as ho desires , for long or short range , with much or little powder , A cotton oil mill at Little Rock , which cos $200,000 , Is crushln g 200 tons of seed dally A $1,000,000 cotton mill is go ing up at Calves- ton and a $500,000 cotton mill at Dallas.

Abraham Lincoln , no doubt , died In the happy unconsciousness of the fact that his trousers would bo a detriment to his personal appearance in the eyes of posterity. Yet wo notice that his statue Just unveiled in Chicago presents the same unspeakable trousers to the public graze as those which aflliet the eye on Union Square in this city , where his efllgy is placed "with malice toward none. " Notwlthstanding hat trousers do not make the man , It is a sorrowful fact that no man has a sulUeicnUy sublime character to look digni fied in this ago in the trousers which , possi bly with historical truth , the artists scum to have conspired to put on the statues of Lin coln. * The CliniiKC of the Year.

They hope by Now Years to have it in condition to swear by , The appearance of Gcorgo P. Train in Omaha1 ' says the Hastings Democrat , "was the signal for the reporters to take a bath. Mr. Train has certainly been of some benefit to that city. " William Wnugh , a railroad man in Chndron. put an end to the ills and np- pctltcs of the flesh by sending a bullet through his bend last Thursday. Ho was forty years of ago , a member of the Grand Army and Odd Follows order and formerly resided in Blair. A now feature has been added to the campaign this year. Out in Sheridan county a candidate offered a woman $10 for an nflldavlt charging his opponent with burglary , while In the moro civil ized Cnss 8100 is the highest price yet offered for newspaper sllcnco. The amount of lying going on would dam the Missouri. Says the Cheyenne Leader : "Gcorgo Francis Train hopped off the cars in Omaha with two requests on the end of his tongue : "S'dcath. show mo to a Turkish bath and send mo all the re porters in the town. " Ho was shown tea a Turkish bath establishment , and in a moment had a Hock of newspaper men his heels. They all wont through the bath together , and finally the eccentric Train , wrapped in a sheet like a Roman in his toga , gave the boys n tallc in his usual epigrammatic and spasmodically brilliant stylo. Citizen Train , with all his mental eccentricities , did much for Omaha in the early days , and there wore many people there ready to wel come him. Train registered as coming from "Cock Ifoohovlllo , " a way ho has of dubbing Chicago since ho was gently , but firmly bat upon by Mayor Koche , of the Lakeside city. " Wyoming. The commercial condition of Chey enne has been forced to rock bottom by recent failures. The increase of passenger trains on the Union Pacific is hailed as a long delayed blessing in Wyoming. W. A. Carpenter , a creamery man rom Sutton , Neb. , is in Choycnno in search of a bonus to start a plant there. The Burlington tracklayers are within thirty miles of Cheyenne , and pushing the work at the rate of ono and a third miles a day. . McCoy , the escaped murderer , is still among the missing. The ollicers are trying to avenge their carelessness by prosecuting a woman named Emma Riggs , who Is accused of aiding the prisoner to escape. The Leader thinks there is no city of its size in the United States which can ) east of such ecclesiastical honors as Cheyenne. It may now claim to bo the homo of _ two bishops , Bishop Talbot , of the Episcopal diocese of Wyoming and Idaho , and Bishop Burke , Catholic bishop of Wyoming. Two hundred citizens of Buffalo have petitioned the president to sot aside a largo portion of the old Fort McKinncy [ cscrvation for public purposes. They : vsk 320 acres for a site for a territorial agricultural college , forty acres for a city park , forty acres for a city cemetery and 100 acres for a town site purpose. Dresser' , of the Rock Springs Inde pendent charged Barrow , of the Doug las Budget , with being a literary thief. Barrow vigorously denied the allcgn- ti < n and invited the allogator to meet him on neutral ground In Cheyenne next January , promising to decorate his person artistically. Dresser has ac cepted and the details of the meet are now being arranged. The only ques tion to bp settled is whether gooseberry rules will bo enforced or whether knives and shotguns will bo used to arbitrate and vindicate their honor. Montana. A farmer in Gnllatin valley this year raised 5,200 bushels of oats off of sixty acres of land. This is nearly 100 bushels to the aero. The supplementary tax list for Lewis' and Clark county is now in , and it in creases the assessment of the county to about $11,600,000. Deputy United States marshals have been sent out from Miles City to compel the removal of fences from public lands which have been unlawfully enclosed by certain stock men within service dis tance from that city. The owners of the Curlew mine in the Bitter Root valley have most favorable reports from it. A body of very rich ore has been struck at the 100-foot level ; ono report gives its value at $0,000 per ton. ton.On On the north slope of Cinnabar Moun tain , on the upper Yollow.stono , there is an immense deposit of cedar agate of beautiful hues and patterns. It can bo taken out in largo pieces , from which the most elegant dinner sots can bo turned. The report comes from Rod Lodge , sixty miles south of Billings , that there have been placer mines discovered there , yielding besides largo nuggets , ton cents t6 the pan. Considerable ex citement has been caused by this , and there are indications of a stampede from Billings. The Indian gardens at the Crow agency have yielded very largo crops this season. The Indians have moro potatoes than they can use and nro sell ing them at low figures. General Wil liamson , the agent , has in his own garden over 100,000 pounds of potatoes and 32,000 pounds of oats. A Fatality From Sunday's Flro.

In the dramatization an attempt to preserve this uulty has been satisfactorily madp , so much so. indcctl , that the work may bo considered , of Its kind , ono of the most successful stage adaptations that lias been for many years.

In others It far excels Its predecessor , As n whole , the combination is n strong ono and some of its members exhibit exceeding Individual ability. Of Mr. Grismcr's Gilbert n great deal may bo said in commendation. It is a furnished portraiture. It is strongly imbued with a tender , yet warmly love , for the heroine , and this tenderness find manliness Mr. Grismer admirably portrays , albeit , at times , his imimttioslty and oven loud-toned soliloquy raise the question as to whether Mr. Vmign , as drawn by Con way. was such n man. This impetuosity in the performance of the mar riage , and the hustling treatment ho accords his friend , the doctor , are pleasantly entertaining but somewhat inconsistent with the method and manner of Conwuv's hero , whoso haste doubtless was dis tinguished by an utter abscnco of ludicrous features. There Is little rant in the moro ex citing scones , though Mr. Grlsmor'ssoliloquy when ho llrst gives expression to the dis covery that there is something painful in Paulino's treatment of him , Is moro robust than is called for , either by the situation or the discovery. It may bo nn impression , but Miss Davlcs seems to bo moro at homo in Pauline than Bho was when she last appeared hero. She scarcely icalires in person the young woman drawn by Conway with dark brown hair , darker eyes and rotund features. Never theless , her assumption of the character Is Intelligent , painstaking and consistent. In the last scene , when she has recovered from her "Illness" she throws a wonderful wealth of tenderness and love inlo the gratitude she expresses for Gilbert , which serves to re lieve the oppressiveness which unfortunately pervades many of the earlier scenes. Tlio meeting between the young wife and Gil bert's nurse , Prlscllla , though bhort , was well enacted , and Miss Stephens , who played the latter character , exhibited a great deal of tenderness , the effect of which , however , was destroyed by some rowdies in the gallery , who. unfortunately , were beyond tho'reach ofMaitin Kelly's baton. The piece was ad mirably brescnlcd as a whole , and the audi ence , ns largo above as it was below , which is a compliment , was liberal in its applause , One-half of the first act was lost by two- thirds of the auditors who were in their scats when the curtain rose. The loss was occa sioned by late-comers , not servant girls who were compelled to wash the dishes before starting to the theater , but a class of pcoplo who go to the theater in a mechanical wny and who feel that others have no interest in the play which may not ruthlessly bo do- stioyed. Mr. Boyd has u rod in piuklo for these and will draw it out soon. ADVERTISING OMAHA. The Initial Steps Taken at n Meeting Yesterday. There was a fair attendance nt the mooting of the board of trade yesterday afternoon to devise means for advertising Omaha. Mr. Shclton explained the objects of the meeting , and on motion Governor Saundcrs was invited to preside. Tlio latter gentleman urged briefness in the way of advciUsing and said that Omaha's resources for pork and beef packing and manufactories , should bo made known to the outside world. Mr. Shclton said that Omaha had been misrepresented by newspapers out side the city. Ho denied assertions inndo in the Chicago Tribune that pi ices on Omaha leal estate weio inflated and B. F. Test spoke briefly and to the point. Major Clarkson remarked Unit thcio was no spot dearer to his heart than Omaha. Ho had lived in the state of Nebraska over twenty years , and thought it ono of the best agricultural producing states in the union. Omaha has the resources , and Mr. Clarkson predicted that ho would. live to sco the day it would boast of 50,000 population. Ho de plored the conduct of bankers , who ho said , stood in the light of Omaha's prosperity , and cited ono instance of a certain banker discouraging a man from Boston to pay f'25- 000 for a piece of land , saying that m a year's time it could bo bought for half the , money. The Boston man pocketed his $2T , - 000 , went back home , and since that time the same piece of property was sold for $50,000. Mr. Gibson was in favor of getting up cheap excursions from the cast. Mr. J. L. Hico said railroads would not give Omaha excursion rates. Mr. Upton was satisfied that the railroads were discriminating against Omaha and ho strongly urged that something bo done to route the niggor from under the wood pile. Motions for the appointment of committees being in order , the chairman named the fol lowing : Committee to prepare articles and ascer tain the expenses for having them printed in eastern newspapers E. P. Test , chairman , G. W. Hitchcock , Major Clarkson. Committee to raise necessary funds Messi s. Crcary , Hill , Chase , Hicks , Shelton , Kitchen anil Upton. Committee to consult with railroads on ex cursion rates Messrs. Benson , McCago and Griffith. There will bo another mooting nt the same place next Saturday afternoon at 3 o'clock.

THE WORKING CLASSES. Tin ; Value of Candor With the AVork- liiK Men. General Frances A. Walker , in an ar ticle entitled , "What Shall Wo Toll the Working Classes ? ' . ' published In Scrlb- iior'u Magazine for November says : I confess I have little respect for the objqction which is often interposed to the use of the term "wording dilssos. " Every now and then rome lawyer or profcfcbor or editor Informs the publlo that ho works twelve or fifteen hours a day himself ; that ho is just as much a workingman as any carpenter or cotton s-pinner ; that wo , ui'Q all worklngmon together ; and that the use of this term , in application ton facet ion .of the 'com munity , is.'both otyinologlcally , wronjj . ' . , " ' . ' and economically misleading. Indcol | I know ono highly intelligent gentle * man who sincerely , boliovcs that the correction of our popular speech iii this regard will nearly , if uot quite , remove nil our labor troubles a'nd restore Indus- triul'poace. Now'I cannot tnko this vlow of the expression In question. * * * There are few familiar phrases whoso purport is not larger , or smaller , or in some way different from the logical sig nificance of the words composing them , if brought together for the first time. The term working-classes is Buillclontly descriptive for the use to which it Is put in discussions regarding the organ- izatlon of Industry and distribution of wealth. There are largo and important bodies of producers who nro clearly enough pointed out thereby , and who well enough understand themselves to ho meant. It is not an offensive appella tion , for it is fcolf Imposed. It is not nn inexact expression , for no ono not in to nil oil by it would deem himself , or bo deemed by others , to bo included. As to the notion that the use of this term deceives anybody , or creates the impression that professional mon and employers of labor , shopkeepers and clerks , artists and teachers , do not , in their own way , work , and generally work long and hard it seems to mo too trilling to deserve attention. If the labor problem is to bo solved by calling the working classes by another name , it numt bo a very simple problem , and the working classes must bo very simple , too. CANDOll WITH WOllKlNaMKX. Whatever wo may have to say to the working classes , the spirit is likely to ho as important as the mutter. It is a thing of coin-so that politicians , having respect to the recompense of reward , will Hatter and fawn upon those who hold so largo a mass of political power ; but moro house and more self-respect might fairly have bcon expected of many of the persons , themselves altogether disinterested and f-incoro , who have of Into contributed to Iho literature of the labor question. Some of tlioso writers cannot refer to the general ibsuo between laborers and employers , or even to a specific demand for higher wages or fewer hours , with out gushing over the virtues of the worKing classes ; without talking na if there were something peculiarly noble and bolf-sacriilcing in occupying that position ; without assuming , in advance of investigation , that any body of labor ers must bo right in any claim they may cheese to make , and casting re proachful glances at every employer who entertains notions of his own re garding his interests or rights , as if ho were a persecutor of the saints. Some of those social philosophers always speak of the position of a day laborer or a factory operative in a tone which intimates regret that the de ficiencies of their own early education prevent their sharing in the moral and spiritual advantages of such a lot. Others write us though they felt it a duty to make up to the laboring class in tally all that , owing to the hardness of the employers' hearts , they may not bo able to secure in broad and meat. Now , this sort of thing is foolish , and , so far as it has any olTect at all , is mis chievous. If the working classes are not spoiled by Iho unceasing adulation of which they are the subjects , it is be cause they have too much rugged sense of their own and too much native in sight into character. But there is little tlo reason lo doubt that this kind of tallc has its olfect in a degree that many a laborer has bcon made restive by it , and that it has prepared the wny for the se duction of the demagogue. A Voice From Wall Street. Rufus Hatch in New York Star : When the Standard Oil company pays $125 for a box at Mrs. James Brown Pot- tor's opening performance it shows be yond a donbt that the "bull" market has started. When Hon. Chauncoy ' Dopow says that ho did not bay tha't everything was going to the "everlast ing bow-wow , " but "quite the re verse ; " it is another evidence of a bull market. And when Brother Dopow tolls the inquiring reporter lliat , al though Western Union Telegraph com pany has bought the only formidable rival it had , and Is virtually in control of the field of telegraphy , yet it will not raise the rates , but do just what the public asks in furnishing the maximum of accommodation nt the minimum of cost , wo are forced to acknowledge that not only is there the strongest reason for a bull market , but that the millennium is near at hand. Wo expect to ECO Jay Gould and Mackay , Bennett tc Co. , lying down to gether and a little child leading thorn. As to which is the lion and which the lamb , wo decline to say. Yes , it is a bull market and the bears had belter cover at once. No ono can read the future correctly , without being a bull. Uonry George Is going to bo elected secretary of state , then governor , then president. There will bo ono powerful party the labor party , and thus all the disquieting influences resulting from city , state and govern ments elections will disappear. Con gress will legislate to wipe out all rail way , telegraph and other monopolies and assume control of all euch corpora tions , all of which will have a quieting olTect and lead to restore confidence. Now railways , and those that have built extensions and branches , will re organize , scale their securities and take a fresh btarl. The block market for the past week lias shown a great deal of sco- tawing mostly buzy saw. DIIOI ) . STANDHOnN Thomas , at 8:30 : October 31 , at his son's residence , 1,811 , Cass. Ago , 74 years.
