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

room for this , but admitting the exist

be a general popular opposition to itf
discontinuance.

- AMUSEMENTS.
Production of "Cnjleii tinck" ' nt
lloyd's I-inst Xignt. ' '
The play which Introduced Mr. Gristlier
and Miss Davics nt Boyd's lust night , it need
scarcely bo remarked , fs n drnhiatlrntlon of
Conway's novel , "Qallcd Back , " which lias
been pretty extensively rend by people in
this country. The story hasiiot been u diffi
cult ono to adapt to the Bingo. It is n con
nected ono. The Incidents follow in consecu
tive order and at all times the hero , or at
least his spit it , Is manifest upon the sccdc.
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 porno respects Mr. Grismcr's company
is not BO talented as it was when the play
was last produced here. 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

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.
