Thnycr'fl View of the l lnkertoni.
LINCOLN , Nob. , May 20. [ Special Tclo-
gram to Tun BHE. ] Oovornor Thayer , In
conversation upon the editorial which ap
peared in TUB SUNDAY Bun in reference to
expelling the Plnkertons , said :
"My view Is just this that If the Plnkor
ton men are guilty of violation of law If
they nro acting as ofilccrs without authority ,
the courts of Cass nnd Douglas counties
must take cognizance of the matter. If they
arb committing offenses , any citizen of Cass
county or of Douglas county can go before a
magistrate and maKe complaint , aud it Is his
duty to do BO. Then the Pinkerton men can
bo brought into court. That Is the
only course that can bo pursued. I
have no moro authority to force them
out of the state than has nny other citizen.
There seems to bo n great deal of ignorance
upon the part of some parties as to the ( rawer
IKmsessod by the governor. I can only net
when the civil authorities nro unable to pro
tect llfo and property. Then and then alone
can I call the military force of the state into
action.
" 1 am not in favor of the Plnkcrton men
at all , but I am not going to violate the law
by forcing them out , n3 thcro has been no in
vasion of the state such as the constitution
contemplates. I do not know whether the
Pinkcrteus are armed or not. I never saw
thorn have anything but the ordinary police-
man's club , which all policemen carry.
"I want this distinctly understood , that It
Is for the counties whcro the Piukertens
iavo been kept to take the proper stops to
bring them to task. Should I tnko steps to
force them out how long would It bo before I
would bo denounced ns n usurper ? I &m
ready to execute the law whenever IAm
called upon to do it , but no call has been
made upon mo as yet. I have been from
the start opposed to the presence of the
Pinkerton men , but no case has yet occurred
In which I could interfere.
"I can not order the attorney general I
can only request him to take action in nny
caso. But should I request him to pro
ceed in this matter , his answer would
bo that tbo prosecuting attorneys of Cass
nnd Douglass counties should take the neces
sary action In the first place. It Js not for
the attorney general to commence proceed
ing , but it is the province of local authori
ties , wherever the Pinkorten's may violate
the law. They arc there for thnt purpose ,
nnd the Plnhcrtons would hnvo to bo treated
the same as any other violators of law.
Just are acting as policemen contrary to
law the prosecuting attorneys should proceed
against them. " .

a population of nearly a thousand pco

Pacific railway , 215 miles west of Omaha.
She is not having a temporary boom , but a
continued , steady growth , and we predict
that In a few years Cozad will bo ono of Ne
braska's substantial towns. Thcro is no for.
oigu clement in our population. The citizens
are all from good families in Illinois , Indl.
ana , Pennsylvania nnd Now York. For push

Istcnco. They bavo built a wagon * bridge a
tulle In length across the Platte river at this
point , the cor.t of which was $15,000 , and last
year built ono ono of the best roller Hour
mills in the state , which cost them $25,000 , ,
This year they talk of erecting a largo brick
hotel and opera house. Thcro is a good
open ing hero for a brick manufacturer , und
just now thcro is talk of some parties from
Fairmont locating a yard hero. Our town is
well supplied with banks , newspapers , and
business houses , but strnngo to say no
lowolor has yet located hero and , wo von-
iuro to say , that the party who comes llrst
will reap a good harvest. Thcro Is a good
farming country on the north of thlrty-flvo
miles , and on the south of eight miles , tribu
tary to this placo. The heavy fall of rain
last week was unprecedented , nnd was just

largely attended , spontaneous and nonpolitical
cal reception was tendered this evening to
Hon. A. J. Streetor , presidential candidate of
the union labor party , on his return from
Cincinnati. Men of every political creed
spoke , giving utterance to the most cordial
congratulations and heartiest good will. An
address was made by Dr. Emerson in behalf
of the citizens , to which Streoter responded :
"This spontaneous demonstration in honor
of the event that ono of your citizens has
been nominated to the high ofllco of presi
dent was wholly unexpected by mo and I
hardly know what to say. I thank you
kindly , friends , for this distinguished nnd
cordial ovation. This demonstration marjcs
an epoch in your history ; ono that
I hope may long bo remem
bered. I did not desire the nom
ination , but when It came to mo
from every section of the country I thought
It was the voice of the industrial people. Ono
of your number-has been honored by a nomi
nation for the presidency. This is a now
deparluro. In the past presidential candi
dates have been chosen from two classes of
our people the lawyer nnd soldier while
the great industrial classes , comprisingthreo-
fourths of our pcoplo , have had no candidate.
Is it any wonder that their interests have
boon neglected 1 I deem it unwise to discuss
political issues , and as you have done , I , too ,
will throw down political questions. "
Toasts were also responded to "Our Hon

Hnppy Jack Ileaty occupied tUo box for
Omaha and ho WAS the hero of the tiny , The
crowd gave him an ovationnnd ho carried that
Mephlstophllltio grin of his' clear through
the game. His pitching was most praise
worthy , and the visitors wcro outplayed nt
every point. TUo struggle teemed with pret
ty pieces of Holding , and thcro was some
good oattlng nnd daring bixso running. All
of tuts inado the outcome delightfully uncer
tain.
tain.When
When Umplro Bronnan called play Flynn
stepped to the plato , and was qulokiy'pro-
scutcd with first on balls. Then Conway
awolco the slumbering echoes by a safe tlrlvo
to left. But that ended the good work , as
Annis , O'Connoll und Burns were retired In
order.
St. Louis also drew a blank , as did both
sides In the second. For the visitors Stnlcy
struck out the sido.
But the young man -was horribly wild , and
hcforo the game ended managed to send eight
men to base on bad balls. In the meantime ,
however , ho partially offaot this by fanning
out no less than twelve.
In the third Gastficld , who caught a pretty
game , went to llrst on balls. Hostolo second
and ran down to third on a wild throw by
Dolan. Mr. Flynn now cnmo forward , and
without much preliminary monkeying ho
smashed the ball against the right Hold fcnco
and on the rebound scampered 'round to
third. Qastllold scoring. How tup populace
did shout.
On Cooioy's hit to She , Flyun was thrown
out nt the plato.
"Too bad , " they nil said , ' 'ho ' ought to have
staid whcro ho was. "
And that was truo.
Annis vainly agitated the atmosphere , but
O'Connelll was given first on balls. Burns'
out , however , retired the side.
Another Easter egg for St. Louis.
Both teams accomplished nothing in the
fourth.
In the fifth the Omahas Increased their
lend by two. Gastllcld went out from pitch
to first , but Flynn got his base oii b'alls and ,
naturally enough , stole second. And then
Coonoy just walked up to the plate'-llke a
great big man and hauled , oil and barfgefl the
ball clean out to center field fcnco for & homo
run. " -
Cticcrs 1 The ground shook with thorn , and
the boys made- Captain Crooks'satl with their
cries of "Ah , there , Hnrxv ; that's the way 1"
Another cipher for the Mound City.
The next man to como forward was our
French friend from Cork , Jimmy Burns. Ho
braced himself , winked at Columbus , and the
first ball pitched sent it sibilating out. into
the pouter garden for two sacks. Then there
was a cry of jubilation , and as ho rushed to
third on a half passed ball and then homo on
a wild throw by Daddy Dolan ; 3,000 pcoplo
laughed % md cheered to their hearts' content.
Every face was briirht as a dollar. And
when the tumult had subsided somebody
started afresh the cry : "That's the way ,
Harry.
But Harry isn't easily rattled and ho hod
n quiet laugh all to himself when Shannon
struck out.
In their half St. Louis scared , the crowd
badly , for they made two runs and threat
ened to tie the score. Staler reached first
on an error of Miller , then Nicholson made a
two bagger , Stnloy going to third , Right
hero Coonoy made a bad thrdw" of , Creoles'
grounder , on which Staley and Nicholson , on
the return of the ball by O'Connell , scored ,
and Creoles perched triumpliantly-on second.
Burch wont out , but Hcrr got his base on
balls , and the crowd hold their breath until
Happy Jack made Kenyan fan the air three
times , when , of course , the crowd cheered.
In the seventh both sides added a 'score' to
their total , and in the eighth our Gallic
friend , Burns , knocked out. a lovely homo
run.

Progress of the Conference.
Nnw YOKK , May 19. [ Special to TUB
BKB. ] Having Thursday , In n formal but
deeply Impressive memorial service , dropped
ts tears over the dond bishops , the confer-
cnco will bo ready shortly to drop its ballots
for the election of the new ones. The three
who have gone wcro each distinguished for
some special Irait. Simpson was the peer
less preacher. Wiley was the great mis
sionary , nnd most appropriately , therefore ,
has Ins burial plnco In China ; whllo Harris
was the great disciplinarian of the board.
By n strange coincidence each of those had n
prominent part in the closing services of tlio
conference four years ago. Bishop Simpson
made the closing address , Bishop Wiloy of
fered the concluding prayer , and
Bishop Harris road the final hymn.
Thus , the part they took , viewed in re
trospect , scorns to have been premonitory of
the fate which awaited them. Whether
these circumstances will make the remain
ing bishops timid as to the part which maybe
bo assigned them In the closing of the pres
ent conference , remains to bo seen. It is
certain , however , that neither this or any
thing else has had the effect ot lessoning the
number of candidates for episcopal oftlco ;
nor is It anticipated , for a moment , that nny
circum stances past or to come , will load any
of the present or prospective bishops to re
sign. Thcro are rumors thnt one will ask to
bo relieved of episcopal dignities to allow of
his taking the presidency of an eastern uni
versity , and it has been alleged that
in case of the election of a certain can
didate for the ofllco , still another
of the present incumbents would want
to step down nnd out. But all such rumors
must bo discounted heavily ; for whatever
their excellencies otherwise , Methodist
bishops bavo certainly not been noted for
the virtue of resignation. And who can
blame thorn , when it is a fact , as Dr. Blake-
ley said on Monday , that "tho power held by
a Methodist bishop is the greatest held by
nny ofllcpr in the Protestant church. " Still ,
thcro have been two instances in which this
dignity has been declined , and by a fortunate
circumstance these cases are divided between
the two sections , ono bciug the case of Dr.
Haygood , of the church south , and the other
that of Wilbur Fisk , of this church.
In ecclesiastical affair * } no less than in mat
ters culinary , the proof of the pudding must
bo in the eating. Hence to judge correctly
of the quality of the now bishops wo must
wait until wo Xnow who they arc. The con
viction has been entertained by many that
thi conference would put into ofllco these
only whoso characters and accomplishments
would reflect credit upon the denomination ,
nnd that It would bo an improvement upon
former conferences in keeping itself trco
from objectionable forms of lectioneoring. If ,
however , some of Its own members are to bo
credited , it is but another of the same kind
with several of its predecessors. At nny
rate wo have been treated to similar ex
posures to those which have distinguished
former conferences ,
The storm of acoueatlon which had been
gathering for many days , broke upon the
body on Monday last. Mr. Hunter of Illinois
wantcd'ono bishop elected at a time. 'Ihls ,
ho said , would break up combinations. Every
candidate , in that case , ho said , would have
to do business on his own capital , nnd , for
his part , if any candidate proposed to set up
a peanut stand , ho didn't want him elected.
He was prepared , he said , to sit down upon
all combinations , nua ho "didn't care a peg
whether the bishops came from Now York ,
Boston , St. Louis or Peorla , so that the best
man pot it. " Dr. Buckley , agreeing sub
stantially with the former speaker , thought
the election of a bishop so important that the
vote ought to bo taken by orders. Hero was
another proposed scotch upon the wheel of
struggling ambition , for when avoto is taken
uv orders it not only requires a majority of
nil to elect , but a majority of both the minis
terial delegates and the lay delegates. Dr.
Olin of Now York , who is chairman of the
committee on episcopacy , said "ho had been
pained and shamed with the whispers that
had stolen into his ears respecting combina
tions for the ofllco of bishop. " lr. Duo of
Illinois , claimed that ho had not heard such
whispers. "But think , " ho said , "of the
Apostle Paul going down this alslo and mov
ing about the corridors of this opera house ,
asking the members of the conference to
vote for him bccauso ho had a call from the
Lord to bo bishop. "
Lay Delegate Brown favored Dr. Buck
ley's motion to vote for bishops by orders.
This gentleman took a busincss-liko view of
the situation , holding that if a man had a
genuine call from the Lord the Lord could
pull him through just as surely if the confer
ence voted by orders as if it voted as a whole.
Dr. Leonard , of Ohio , was another who was
so fortunate as to not have heard these flying
whispers about combinations. Ho wouli
scorn , ho said , to receive n proposition to
cast his vote for any candidate. Ho had
not heard whispers of that kind , ho ob
served , but ho had hoard It alleged
that millionaires had been electing
the bishops of the church , nnd it
was plain to ECO , ho said , that voting
ing by orders would glvo these millionaires
even more power than they already had.
i < 'inally ' the conference concluded that It had
heard enough of this kind of talk , and the
matter was disposed of by a refusal to adopt
cither the motion to elect ono bishop nt a
time , or the motion to elect by orders , leav
ing the situation just as it was before the
bit ; palaver began , precisely the result which
followed from a similar touipost of words
and a similar series of motions , in the two
conferences Immediately preceding this.
The Methodist wortnies never full to have
it out in this manner just before the real bat
tle of the ballots. It is a way they have ,
just as the final decision lu the ring proper is
always preceded by a hot contest of big talk
when a lot of healthy school boys got into a
wranglo. It is safe to assume , too , that these
Methodist brethren do not mean all they say
at such times , any inoro than the boys do ,
and that , like the boys again , they are not
half so bad as , in these tussles , they try to
mnko ono another seem , As to electioneer
ing-and the canvassing of the strong and
Weak points of the various candidates ,
it is dtllcult to BCO how such work
as this could bo dispensed with
altogether , considering that the
delegates co.mo from such widely scattered
sections , and that no opportunity Is given to
nominate men for these high oftlcos in open
conference. And as to the moral question
involved , if the Lord accepts the help of
presiding elders , and church committees ,
added to the godly judgment of the bishops
in stationing the preachers , what can bo the
harm in a few experienced hands lending
Him a littleassistance in this inoro delicate
nnd important work of promoting men to the
episcopacy , The favorites in the episcopal

with , however , any number of dark horses
waiting the call. Excepting that Dr. O. J.

tions the candidates uro too numerous to
mention.
Not only is the episcopal offlco in demand ,
but there is a great clamor from various
quarters for episcopal residences. Among
the cities who have applied thus early for
the distinguished honor of havihg alive
methodist bishop in their midst are Cleveland ,
Detroit , Portland , Oro. , and Charleston , b.
C. Detroit baits its request with the prom
ise that the bishop sent there Bhall have a
good housa presented to him. Toxjs also
u bishop , arid offers a larger induce-
mont than any other applicant , In Iho fact
that she gives tlio ono who may bo
sent the privilege of taking up his
nbodo nny where he pleases In the
entire state. Thus wo nro reminded again
that , ns the scripture says , todeslro the ofllco
of n bishop is to doslro n good thing nnd a
big thing , and yet a bishop's lot Is not alto ,
gothor n happy one , not , nt least , during gen
eral conference , for they do got talked to
these days most outrageously. Ono tosolu-
tion , read before the conference and referred
to n committee , declares their recent action
In "arrogating" the iKJWcr to leave the names
of the women delegates from the conference
roll.to bo"unprecedcntcd In hlstorynlartulng
In its itntiiro nnd revolutionary In its ef
fects. " There are these , too , who openly
charge that parts of the episcopal address
were a subtle argument Intended to Inlluonco
legislation , and that thus , though legally debarred -
barred from speaking in the debate * , they
got In a spccph by unfair meant Some of
the brethren , too , nro so httlo mindful of
episcopal prerogatives thnt they will not
oven consent , without protest , to have n
bishop enjoy a good cigar If ho wants to.
Actually , a resolution has been Introduced
on this subject In fact several havo. It is
supposed , too , that these resolutions cut both
ways , having reference not only to souio who
are In the ofilco , but to some of the outs who
want to got In , but whom somd of their moro
jiunctlllious brethren think should not bo nl-
lowcd to do so until , ns the resolution ex
presses It , "thoy swear to forever abstain
from the use of tobacco. "
Tee only occasion since the woman ques
tion wns settled when there has been a full
hocso was when Bishop Taylor reported his
work in Africa. In appearance this man is
tall nnd gaunt , with lone patriarchal beard ,
deep set and lustrous eyes and the air of a
man who believes iiunlicitly both In God and
in himself. By multitudes ho Is regarded as
ono of the greatest heroes of modern times.
His pet idea is the christianizing of heathen
dom on the self-supporting plan. On this
plan ho established n great mission In India
and another in South America. Owing to
the prestige of these achievements the
last conference elected him by an
almost unanimous vote , n missionary
bishop to Africa , nnd m the very
heart of the dark contincut and ho has
planted missions on the sumo plan. Ho has
disdained to use mlssJonaryinonoy , excepting
as he could use it without dictation from
headquarters , and has refused to draw his
salary from the missionary treasury , though
? 3OOOIa year have been offered him. His
contention is that ho is as much a bishop as
the rest of his follows and that ho ought to
get his pay from the same fund. Ho also
objects to having his self-supporting
missionary work controlled by the
regular missionary board , Ills reason
for this being , as ho characteristically
expressed it in his report , that "their meth
ods and his would no moro harmonize than a
coal yard nnd a millinery store would work
lu haomony. " What the conference will do
with this heroic genius remains to bo sccu.
Probably , however , they will send him back
to Africa with increased authority , though a
desperate effort will bo made by some to
have his te > m of Episcopal service brought
to a speedy and inglorious termination.
Echoes from the great debate on the ad
mission of women are still hoard occasionally.
It Is said that a great gcnloun once observed
to his wife , "Woman , with nil thy faults I
love thco still : " but the trouble is here , as it
was there , that woman won't ' be stillr nor
will the knights errant who have entered the
lists as her champions. It is now alleged
that the contest on this question was a secret
fight for third party prohibition , in which , by
the defeat of Miss-Willard und her fellow
delegates , of W. C. T. U. fame , that cf.uso
came to grief. It Is also alleged , on the other
side , that personal spite and oftlciul jtfalousy
had much to do in keeping the women out ,
some who worked against them doing so in
settlement of old scores cherished against the
fair applicants , nnd others laboring to keep
them out for fear that if they got in they
would run off with some of the offices as for
instance , so those people aver , the editorship
of the New YorkChristlan Advocate. Really ,
however , such allegations and rumors are
unworthy of credence , nnd what is moro ,
they nio discreditable to the side which
organizes them. The status of the ques
tion now is , that to make woman's admission
legal , the annual conference are to pass upon
it. But thcro is a proposition now pending ,
and likely to bo adopted , which will give the
entire church an opportunity to bo beard on
the subject. The plan is to allow every mem
ber , male or female , who is over twonty-ono
years of age , to vote upon this new departure ,
just as was done when it wua proposed to
admit laymen to this body. *
The question of Methodist union is com
manding attention. Great strides have been
made in this direction in recent years. Tlio
methodist bodies of the world , after a long
period of separation , marked by various de
grees of hostility , first looked into ono
another's faces and felt the throb of n com
mon mcthodlstio heart beat , In IBSl.at the
great ecumenical conference hold in London.
Shortly after that gathering a union of all
tbo methodist churches of Canada was an
nounced. Then in 1884 came the centennial
Methodist conference in Baltimore , affording
the American brethren another favorable
opportunity of shaking hands and exchanging
greotlng.s Since then there has boon u
strong movement toward organic union In
Great Britain ; in fact the Irish Methodists
have effected such a upion. Aud now como
two or thrco propositions before the present
conference for a union of the Methodist
Episcopal church with the body which
wont off on the slavery question forty-
four years ago when the general confer
ence last held in this city , a body which now
has fully half as many members of this
church. These resolutions , which were re
ferred to the committee on the state of the
church , call for the appointment of a commit
tee of thirteen , consisting of live laymen and
five ministers.with three bishops , to confer
and act on this great question with a similar
committee which it is hoped the Church
South will appoint.
What the immediate outcome will bo Is not
yet apparent. It Is settled , however , that a
ecumenical confoionco will bo had thrco
years hence , nnd that It will convene on this
side of the Atlantic. It goes without saying ,
too , that such a gathering will help along this
holy cause of Methodistlo union. And
means while Methodists both north and
sputh will rejoice to know thnt this cause Is
being sensibly advanced by the wise nnd
genial ministrations in private and pubilo of
Rov. S. A. Steele , D. D. , whocomos from the
southern church as u fratctnul delegate to
this body.

Significant Speech atHho North Amer

CIIIOAOO , MtiySO. The thirteenth annual
convention of the Nerd Amorlknnlshcr turner ;
bund began hero to-day. Delegate * to the
number of 571 are present from nil parts of
the country. Dr. H. M. Stnrkloff , of St.
Louis , the president , called Mio assembly to
order nnd made the opening address. Ho
said thnt a number of important nnd
delicate questions would bo Urotight before
fore the body for Its consideration mid that
only the greatest calmness and deliberation
should bo Invoked In dealing \vlth them. Re
ferring to charges made , ho said that the
turnbund has nothing in common with iho
doctrines of anarchism that declares War on
the state in any form or wllh Iho
doctrines of revolution by violence nt
nil hazards oven In n republic. The events of
the last few years had Intruded thomiolvcs
within the precincts of this organisation nnd
ho trusted they would bo disposed of In n
businesslike , just nnd harmonious manner.
The tenor of the ontlro speech Was fnr from
being anarchistic or oven socialistic in ita
tendencies. When the temiwrnry organiza
tion was perfected and standing committees
appointed , the radical clement mined
every point , the following showing Its presence -
once to the number of 400 voters. Tlio dis
position of the Green Bay circular , so-called ,
and the status within the organisation of its
organ , the Milwaukee Turn-Zoltungwlll bo a
part of to-dny's business. Both questions
grew out of the Haymarkot riot and the sub
sequent judicial proceedings. The Green
Bay organization demanded In the circular
the Immediate expulsion from the bund of all
having nny sympathy with the anarchists ,
whllo the Zcltuug characterized the convic
tion nnd oxccutlou of the anarchists as Judi
cial murder.

rofcrenco to the recent papal rescript. There
wcro no prlosts present. Lord Mayor Sexton
presided , nnd Messrs. John Dillon , William
O'Brien ' nnd other Pnrncllltes made speeches.
The manifesto of the Irish members was
endorsed by acclamation. Dillon denied
that the rescript was only n moral doctrlno.
Ho said the Vatican would treat no other
country In thosame way. The Irish would
neither submit or bow to Rome ; they would
show the world that they were nblo to dis
cern between I Us spiritual and political do
mains. O'Brien said the present ordeal was
worse than twenty years of Balfourlnn coer
cion. The Irish had enemies enough with
out taking blows from hands from which
they least deserve them.

his "devoirs" to the daughter of a ro- / /
Hot of Boston's Beacon Hill aristocracy , r i
now sojourning with a maiden aunt In
the Garden City. Ho wished to impress
the guard of the Boston belle that ho
was way up in astronomical loreand in
duce in her the belief that ho possessed
a classical education and was up in all
of the essentials of a young man of cul
ture and rctlnomonl. And this is tlio
way ho started out :

And then it cumo her turn to sling

Boston maiden dollvof herself. Said
she :
"Young man , you had boat square the
