The Plnkcrton JnnlsHnrlcs.
General Palmer , the democratic can
didate for governor of Illinois , is waging
n vigorous warfare against the Pinkerton -
ton police , Ho justly regards this or
ganized army of mercenaries , controlled
by a private individual , as a stigma on
the state , and ho demands that it shall
bo suppressed. In a recent speech ,
General Palmer said of this army : "It
has its armory ; it sends its men out
everywhere when they are called for ;
they are responsible to nobody ;
they report to nobody ; they nro
enshrouded in mystery. Whenever
there is occasion for an armed
force they spring into life , ready
to fighl the battles of those who hire
them. Their names are enrolled nowhere -
where 'that I know of. They are
answerable to nobody that I know
of' The law doesn't know them ,
the governor doesn't know them ,
the sheriff doesn't know them. "
General Palmer docs not talk recklessly
nnd without knowledge of this matter.
Ho knows from experience and accurate
information what this organization is ,
its character and purpose. Ho has
learned from experience that it has become -
como a most dangerous power in Illinois ,
menacing the rights and liberties of the
pcoplo , and that it has bc.cn used ef
fectively in other states to overawe the
people. As an American citizen ho
urges that this most unamorican system
of maintaining a private organization
of armed men , ready at all times to servo
whoever will hire them to operate
against'tho pcoplo , must bo put down ,
nnd in this ho will have the approval of
all men who are concerned for the nres-
rvntion of popular liberty in this rc-
[ lublic.
There is no question of politics in
volved. It is not a party issue whether
, his irresponsible private organization ,
of which the law takes no cognizance ,
hall bo permitted to continue and in-
iroabo its dangerous power. No party
ivill dare to attempt a defense of it. The
imt'tor is one that appeals with equal
'orco ' to the men of all parties who have
iho intelligence to understand
the true character of this organ-
zatibn and 'to 'discern the
danger , nnd perhaps the inovit-
blo ( Jonsequonces , of allowing it to gen
n gathering strength and to become so
firmly rooted as an instrumentality for
use against the people that in time it
ih'all grow to bo a vast machine of abuse
ind oppression , covering the whole land
vith its armed hirelings , nnd to bo
overthrown at last only with the great
est , difficulty. No citizen who will
seriously reflect upon the fact that only
n this free country docs there exibt
such an organization as the Pinkerton
detectives a band of armed men re
cruited from nil classes , nnd operating tea
a largo extent independently of all coh-
titutcd authority will need any argu-
nont to bo convinced that
ts oxis'tcnco hero is a wrong
and a danger that should bo removed
ivith the least possible delay. In the
very nature of thirfgs such an organiza
tion is the fee of the pcoplo , an instru
mentality available only to the few for
overawing nnd oppressing the many.
This is the service inyhich it has been
employed , and will continue to bo so
.ong as it is tolerated.
In bringing this matter prominently
, o tlio attention of the people of Illinois
General Palmer is to bb commended ro-
uardless of the fact that ho is the demo
cratic candidate for governor. Ho will
bo defeated , but his agitation of this
subjoctought not to bo without beneficial
esults , and it will not bo if the pcoplo
of Illinois can bo impressed by obvious
truths and the lessons bf an already un
fortunate experience. ,
Democratic Rule and 'the Nofiro.
The colored voter is commanding the
attention usually bestowed on him in a
presidential campaign. Once in four
years at least ho is cot-tain to be recog
nized as an important political factor ,
and as often tis this ho is found pressing
forward with a demand for recognition.
He has made himself heard early in the
present campaign through a convention
hold last week at Indianapolis. The ef
fect of the convention is , however , not
likely to bo far reaching in view of the
manifest intent to play into the
hands of the democracy. It is
to bo expected that the col
ored voter will bo hoat-d
from again during the canvass under
different auspices , and there is the best
of reason why ho should bo. It would
bo an injustice to the race to permit
tho'cut-and-driod affair at Indianapolis
to stand unchallenged. The self-seek
ing leaders of that movement , some of
whom are now enjoying the reward 'of
recreancy to the republican party , must
not bo permitted to misrepresent the
true sentiment and feeling of the col
ored voters of the country. There is
need of a vo > y explicit and vigorous
protest against the effort of the Taylors
an' ! Trotters to make it appear that the
colored men are forgetting their obliga
tions to the party that gave 'thorn
freedom and citizenship , and that
any largo number of them is
disposed to enter into affiliation with
the party which bought to hold them in
slavery , Und in at leat a doz'on states
still denies them the full enjoyment of
the rights of citizenship. It is im
portant that those who cast this asper
sion bn the colored men of America
shall bo properly pilloried before the
world for just what the are , and their
false pretenses as leaders and represen
tatives of the colored voter's ol the
Country "bo hilly exposed. It is to bo
expected tlmt in .due time this will bo
done , and with such thoroughness ns to
quite obliterate whatever inlluoncamAy
meanwhile bo toxertcd by the Indianap
olis gathering.
But it is to bo observed
that it is only the colored
voter of the north who is enabled to
thus assert him lf. His brother of the
south has ho such prlvologo. In the
section that h solidly democratic the
colored voter does not Icnow himself as
a factor , or if ho possess the knowledge
that ho has the right to be , ho does not
betray it by word or act. There is a
penalty , severe ahd summary , for the
colored voter in Georgia , T > Iisslsslppi ,
Louisiana and other states of the south ,
who bdUovca ho is a political factor and
insists upon being recognized as such.
Yet thov Atlanta QinsRtutton has ( ho
assurance to say this : "To-day there is
not a negro in Georgia who is not bet
ter off udor the present democratic
state administration than ho would bo
under a republican administration. "
It-is doubtless true that in a general
way the colored citizens of Georgia re
ceive somewhat bettor treatment than
is accorded such citizens in most of the
other states of the South , and perhaps
Governor Gordon is entitled to some
credit for this fact. Ho is not the most
illiberal and unprogrosslvc man in the
South. But it remains true that the
colored voters of Georgia , in common
with those of the other Southern states ,
are not permitted under democratic rule
to enjoy fully nnd freely their political
rights.
It is simply absurd to affirm that the
negro is bettor off under democratic
rule , which deprives him of the most
important and sacred privilege of citi
zenship , than ho would bo under a dif
ferent rule that would allow him the
free exercise of all the rights of a citi
zen.
zen.Thoro
There is nothing so strangely anoma
lous in American politics as to find col
ored men declaring in favor of demo
cratic rule , in view of the indisputable
> fact that wherever such rule is complete
the colored man is a political nonentity.
As yet this class comprise a very small
minority of the colored voters of the
country , and wo think are not at present
dangerous.

the Fourteenth senatorial district , composing
the counties of Hrown ( Koya 1'ahn. Cherry ,
Sheridan , Uawcs , liox Butte and Sioux , are
making strenuous efforts for success this
fall. Both parties nro being thoroughly or
ganized , clubs being formed In every village

Imlf the time and attention of the people ns
nt present , showing that they nro thoroughly
allvo to the importance of the campaign and
the Issues of the day. The name of C. II.
Cornell , of this place , will bo presented to
the republican senatorial convention of this
district. Mr. Cornell Is chairman of the
county central committee nnd u lending ro-
publlcau of this progressive north\\.ost. with
which ho has grown up. Ho came into this
county In April , 1SJSO , soon after the arrival
of the troops at Foi t Niobrar.t , when the
land , which now forms thcso seven counties ,
was unorganized territory. At that time the
terminus of the railroad was nt Nollph , UK )
miles distant. On the completion of the road
hero , Mr. Cornell ut ouco removed to tins
plain , wliero ho engaged In merchandiz
ing and banking. Ho helped to
organized the new county mid served
as county treasurer tor two terms. Ho Is
now the priiu-ipal owner of thia townslto nnd
president of the Bank of Valentino. Mr.
Cornell has always been a straight republi
can , n hard worker in tlio party and occupies
no half-wav ground , but lias always bcon an
enthusiasticlo.idcr in the ranks of rfsDiib-
HcaniBin. Although ho has Irid largo deal
ings , both in n business nnd politio.il way ,
with the people , of the whole district , his
record is exceptionally clean , and his in nn
acquaintance that iuiptovcs with time. He
will go Into the convention with the solid
backing ot thh county and ICc.va Paha , with
n strong following from the other counties ,
as his many friends and admirers throughout
the district strongly induce him , nnd the
majority of the press that have exurassed
themselves favor his nomination. Mr. Cor
nell is thirty-live years of age , and foiuiorly
lived in Now York. Ho is active , energetic ,
nnd if clouted , which hoyoulil undoubtedly
bo if nominated , would innke a loxiulatqr of
whom his constituency would justly feel
proud.

Slavery nflYor was the actual cause of
dissension botwcou the north and south ,
though it was always resorted to as an
available pretext. In the opening chapter -
tor of "Destruction and Reconstruc
tion , " by Richard Taylor , lioutonant-
general in the confederated army , tlio
author saya that "tho Missouri compro
mise of 1820 was in reality a truce be
tween antagonistic revenue Bystonis ,
each seeking to gain the balance of
" and that "tho
power , nullification
movement in South Carolina was en
tirely directed against the tariff. "
In the course of a letter to a northern
friend , wh'loh was published , this same
General Taylor said :
"We mr.do two gioat mistakes. Had wo
avoided them wo should have conquered you.
The first was , that wo did not substantially
destroy the protective features of the tariff
In the winter season of 1S57 nnd 1858 , by an
act which provided n rapid sliding scnlo to
free trade. Wo could have passed such n
law , and hold it tight on you till it closed the
furnaces , workshops , woolen and cotton mills ,
and stool and bar-iron works of the whole
north nnd west , and scattered your workmen
over the prairies nnd territories. When the
war was ready for you , you would not liaVo
bcon ready for the war. You could not have
armed and equipped and put in the field a
large army , nor built a largo navy. You
would have been without supplies , machinery ,
and workmen , and you would have been
without money and ciedit. "
That it id the determination of the
democratic party , us nt present organ
ized in the executive and legislative do-
piirtmonts of the government , to inllict
upon the country the most fatal results
that could flow from a sliding bcalo of
tariff duties , la proven by the terms of
the president's message and the provi
sions of the Mills bill ns it was given to
congress fresh from the. hands of its
framord. Its evident design was not to
promote symmetry of protection and the
prosperity of the entire country , but to
maintain the industries of the old south ,
which may bo conducted by unskilled
nnd ignorant laborers , and to reduce the
people of the north to the level of the
imisbes of the pcoplo of the south , by
closing Uio "furnaces. workHlio)3woolon ) ,
and cotton mills , steel and bar-iron
works of the whole north and west. "
THE WAR OVER THE BUSTLE.
It Is Not to Be ISiinishcd Without n
Struirjjlc.
Pittaburg Dispatch : The recent Inno
vation ot Mrs. I rnnciri Folsom Glove-
land , in which thatlndy , , in spite of all
rules of etiquette and in dcflaiico.of all
established priiiijiplos , discards a buitlo
entirely , iu meeting with but few follow
ers in this western part of Pennsyl
vania. . At least that is the result of
several interviews lust evening with
leador-j who 0'ijrlit to have known what
they wore talking about , especially as
they were each attached to one them
selves.
"The fashion Mrs. Cleveland is trying
to inaugurate , " said a vivacious young
lady who was almost boricd behind a
stack of bustles of every st.yle , color and
description , "w.ill never bo a success ,
and I 'hear that ov.on the Jew daring
ladies wno attempted to follow her lead
have deserted her entirely ; and no
wonder , for it certainly won't dp. "
"Why qan't the liidlos po back to the
old style of dross before bubllos civmo
into use ? "
"Fortlic Rfimo reason that inon won't
go buck to kuoo breeches because , the
average , form of the ; man of the present
day "wouldn't look well in knee
breeches. "
"Then you menu that "
"J siinply mean that Mrs. Cleveland
is blessed with a plumper form than the ,
average woman nnd she can go without
u bustle and look well , whore ninety-
nine handsome women would look flat.
That's what I mean.
"Thevo was a lady in hero from the
cas.tyestorday , and she wiiSj tolling mo
what a great flutter was created by the
quic t circulation by Mrs. ,0.'s , girl
friends that the first lady had discarded
the bustle. Her tulinirors really tried
to follow her and for a month there was
a great refitting of magnificent fdressbs
and they wore ribbed and stools run in ,
and still the dresses hung limp an
awkward. "
"And they gave it up. "
"Certainly they gave it up , if for no
other rcaSon than that a lady hates
above all things to have the fold of a
limp , soft dross fall about her heels.
Mrs. Whitney and the cabinet ladies
are still getting their dresses made
with a small bustle attached under the
folds of the lining.
"Now 1 Will tell you a little feminine
secret a lady pays far more attention
and worries more about the lit and hang
of her dross behind than she do s in
front. She is also inoro particular
about the snug lit of her waist in the
back than she js in front. Above all
things , a nicely dressed lady desires to
present a good appearance where others
will see it if sbo can't , and this intended
onslaught on the bustle will bo fought
to the bitter end , especially by your
thin , graceful girls. "
"What sort of bustles are the favor
ites ? "
"Small ones , by all means. The largo-
sized Paragons nnd Acmes have almost
entirely disappeared. They looked like
a bird cage stretched out , and some of
them actually flopped 'from one sidp to
the other in the tidiest fashion imaginc-
abo. ) This motion , howavor , was given
to them by the wearer , who swung her
self purposely. The 'Lnngtry' is quite
u favorite. With it on , a girl can sit
deliberately and squarely down just
like a man , when the 'Lnngtry' shuts
up like n jack-knife. ,
"The Potter gossamer is , the favorite
of all. You can fasten it this way , "
said the girl , cleverly putting it where
it belonged without over glancing at
the mirror. "Now , you see , when 1 sit
down if I sit on it squarely , it doubles
all up like a telescope , and if I sit down
with it on either ono side or the other ,
it is so flexible it givps way perfectly ,
and then recovers its usual shape at
once.
"Then there is the 'Prnnkio Cleve
land. ' It is made of grass cloth , but !
think it is both ugly and uncomfortable.
Of course , beauty in bustles doesn't
count , but if a. young husband were to
sco one hung over a chair for the first
tirao ho would think ho Had the night-
maro.
"Tho Empress bustle is very nice for
stout people. They only need a small
arrangement back there to hoop their
skirts in order , and they would prob
ably bo wlllliiff to discard it entirely
hut the thin girls will never give thorn
up. They have boon wearing them.
sovoh years now , and all the stools and
ribs and roods that can bo put into a
dross will hover replace them , Be
sides being extremely graceful , they in
a great measure take the heavy load of
skirts elf the hips , and I bollavo them
to bo really beneficial in that way.
You will have to o.xcUso mo , plonsp. I
see I am wanted at the counter by that
thin young lady , and they are the
hardest to suit. She is too bashful to
try ono on while thbro is a geniloman
pretent , but you will hardly bo out of
the room before she will have bn iho
biggest ono wo liaVo in stock. "

LINCOLN. July 23 , J
Written upon the "Sunday page" C/
tlio Capital liotol register is the scrawl
ing autograph , "Mrs. Vanloat and sister -
tor , Columbus , O. , " and just underneath
tlio names of these fair Indies tlmt of
"Charles O. Elliott , St. Louis. " But
there is nothing very startling in this
simple statement of fact. This is an
ago of ceaseless activity and change.
The great world of humanity comes antl
goes. And yet those munos furnish
proof that deception is so successfully
practiced that the trained eye of aus
picious man can not penetrate or unmask.
The Moore-Norton escapade has not
yet escaped the public mind. Their
llight from St. Louis and the sub
sequent arrest of Mrs. Norton atTopoka ,
Kan. , with all the sensational incidents
connected with this elopement , her ar
rest for the alleged stealing of $ 'JOOOOof
her husband's money and release from
custody on a writ of habeas corpus , arc ,
not matters that a reading public would
easily forgot. Those little incidents of
human loves and unfortunate domestic
encounters are turned over at breakfast
table talks , from the pulpit by the mor
alizing minister , and in the columns of
the press , until they became a part
and parcel of the topics of the times ,
such as Colonel Walt Mason loves to
ran his pen into for an after-nap para
graph.
Mrs. John \V. Norton and maid wore
thus registered at the Capital to-day by
Mr. Ilenry W. Moore , and somewhat
nervously , too , when ho discovered that
an acquaintance of former days was
standing by and recognized him. And
Vet there is nothing wierd or particu
larly romantic about this story , The
chief parties to the unfortunate St.
Louis domestic episode and scandal
sought a quiet Sunday in the city of
Lincoln , and to insure it hid under as
sumed names in a measure successfully.
I3ut the old adage , "Murder will , out , "
again linds verification. The facts sot
forth wore obtained by Tin ; BKK rop-
rebvn.tii.tivo and are true beyond any
question , of doubt , and the whereabouts
of Mr. Moore and Mrs. Norton have
again been located for one short day.

N6.100 is the second lodge of the order
in numbers , The full camp meeting of
the order will bo hold some time during
tlio moTith of November. This is an
event always anticipated and enjoyed
by the membership of the fraternity.
The G. A. U. boys of the Capital city
will attend the reunion at Norfolk in a

General Van Wyck : registered nt the
Capital last Highland loft for homo this
morning ever the Missouri Pacific.
Yesterday ho spoke to the farmers of
Island Grove , Ungo county , who held a
harvest picnic at that plnco.
A jtnrty of Burlington strikers got
into at altercation last night that camu
near resulting in bloodshed. Some
"scab" employes of the road throw out
some taunting remarks In a saloon on
Tenth between O nnd P streets , which
were resented and the whole party
were arrested and put In the city cooier.
They were , however , released on bail
to appear before Judge Houston Mon
day morn ing at 0 o'clock.
Mayor Sawyer is improving , and hii
physTC'sn thinks that ho will
be able to resting his business and offi
cial duties in a very few days.
The contract work on thd c.-.jiilol and
grounds is moving along somewhat
faster than a snail's pnco. It will bo
finished by-and-by. and , barring tha
nncionov of the building's architecture ,
will bo fairly creditable to the stato.
The work is being done in a workman
like manner , and tiles will not stick to
it as they do to fly paper. The contract
work in every particular is modestly
fair.

The sidewalks on eomo of the bust-
ness streets nro being leveled to the es
tablished grade. Indeed , there is sonm
evidence now that the city intends to do
a wonc that will bo in accord with met
ropolitan pretensions. This is right.
The walks have boon presenting a mis-
ably ragged and disgraceful appear
ance , and ought to havosecured atten
tion before this. And , more , the pavers -
ors are moving and promise to furnish
the work before the inilluniuiii. There
is still hope for Lincoln.
SALVATIONISTS MARRIED.
A Very Plo.iflnut Ceremony to tlio
IMiiHlc of Plnnf'orc , Klo.
San Fraiioisco Examiner : The Salva
tion army barracks at Oakland , Cal. ,
presented u scene of "glory. " It wag
"glory" as a regular exercise , and "hal
lelujah" between timos. . Ilcd predomi
nated in everything but handkerchiefs
and checks.
Tlio services ol the day and the early
part ot _ the evening were uneventful ,
but as , it had boon announced that two
soldiers were to be married during tlio
evening oxoroisos , a largo crowd gath
ered about the door before 8 o'clock.
At the tinio the procession arrived at
the barracks and filed in , running the
gauntlet of the band as it separated and
stood in double file , reaching from the
sidewalk to the door.
"Plenty of room for ust Glory to 1
God I" shouted the brothers and sisters ' 1) )
in a uniform chorus , as they filed , up the 'V I
aisles. The jam continued , seats were | \
brought in , and yet more pcoplo came
in and clamored for room.
Brigadier Fielding arooo at this junc
ture and said :
"Can't wo make everybody comfort-
abloV Sit closer on the platform , even
though you do BOIIIO more squeezing ,
and make room hero for our brothers
and sisters , so the people in the back of
the hall can bo seated. "
ClThis stage ofJJ the proceedings was
marked by more music ' , in which the
wordp were somcthiug'about "tho lily ol
the valley , " and the air was a combina
tion of "Tlio Babies on Our Block" with , ,
a chorus of other sounds and jungles. * '
" ' I'm married. '
"I'm glad I'm clinging
to the cross , " shouted the briRudier
again. "I'm glad I'm married. " ho re
iterated , "and am hero to sco Adjutant
Robinson married , too. "
Then came Rev. Mr. Ilayos , who road
a series of resolutions to which Adjutant
Frank Hobinsou and Captain Anniq
Joico woto ; to vow fealty , Those resolu
tions consisted of promises to bo true to
'
'tho Salvation Army at all hazards and
to the marriage covenant. If ono foil
out ot the ranks by reason of sickness or
other cause of disability the other
should continue the work of serving tha
Lord.
Rev. Mr. Hayes concluded with the
quotation : "Sufficient unto the day is
the evil thereof. "
"Up with the Army Flag and Fly
Away to Glory" was then fung by the
halleluiah lads and lassies.
At the close of the ceremony tha
"groom leaped to the front , shouting , " 1
ain't a bit 'sorry ! I'm clinging to tha
cross , " which was the cue for music , tha
bridegroom walking up and down wav
ing a white handkerchief during ths
sinpi'ig. '
"I ain't ' a bit sorry , " ho continued.
"If any of you nro sorry , now is youi
time to say it. " [ Laughter. ] "I'm ' cling-
iiVg to Iho cross. " Then all joined in ,
the air being something like that sunn
by Ralph Rackstraw , Dick Dcadoyo nnd
the crow , whoa they joined in Sir
Joseph's song , after tolling him that
they could "hum a little. "
"I ain't a bit sorry , " continued the
bridegroom. "Perhaps homo of you
think you could do bettor , bul I think I
was in luck when I made Captain Annie
Joico Mrs. Frank Robinson , Hallelujah !
I never expected to bo married in the
Salvation army to a hallelujah laSs. II
you'd 'rioon mo three years ago , with
only an old rum bottle for a companion ,
you would congratulate mo now , 1 am
sure. This precious wife of mine has
overlooked my past , and now both of us
are clinging.to the cross. "
"Wo will now hoar from Mrs. Robin
son , " said tlfo brigadier a tor another
kong. ,
"I'm glad I'm married , " she began.
"Hallelujah ! "
More milsic fdllowed this declaration ,
nnd then it was announced that thq
niffht would bo consumed in prayer.
