GOVKUXOU THAYKK'S challenge to
McShano has boon politely declined
This will surprise nobody. McShan
would not moot Governor Thayer in
public debate if he could , and could no1
debate with him if ho would.
IP memory serves us. there were two
contracts between Omaha and the
Union Pacific. The moro important
one was hold by the late Ezra Millard ,
one of the committee that negotiated it
with Durant , Duff and Dillon. It is this
particular contract that has turned up
Sui'POSi : that the Union Pacific fund
ing bill fails to pass the present con
gress , as it did the last , and is again
defeated in the next congress ? Does
Mr. Adams propose to hold back the
new depot and union transfer for the
next four years ? Or , is the Union
Pacific going to repudiate its contract
obligations to tnls city altogether be
cause they have become "ancient his
tory" by its own Jack of good faith ?
IT has leaked out cleai'ly that there is
a close combine among paving contract
ors in this city with perhaps ono single
xcoption. That accounts for the pres
sure which ono sot of con tractors brought
to bear on the board of public worka in
favor of their pretended comnotitors.
As long as this state of affairs continues
there is-little prospect of getting honest
work done in the paving and sewerage
linos.
TITK moat enthusiastic supporters of
Clen eland in Now York are among the
dry goods dealers , who huvo formed a
special club and are working like
beavers for the democratic party. At
all their meetings the attendance is so
large that the hall is Oiled and there is
a crowd upon the stair ways and a side
walk delegation upon the pavement.
The secret of this energy is that they
are tree traders to a man. The demo
cratic party may not mean free trade ,
Dut nil free traders believe they do
TITK railroad problem starts up in the
mobt unexpected places. The Californians -
nians of San Francisco are complaining
that the Canadian Pacitio line is rob
bing them of considerable trade. For
merly the Hour of Oregon came to San
Francisco and was shipped to Hong
JCong by the Pacific Mail steamships.
Now the Canadian Pacific gets It all
nnd ships it to China by a-Pugot Sound

trout the northern counties of California
Coeds can bo shipped to eastern points
cheaper by this British line than by the
Northern Pacific or the latest connect
ing link of the Central Pacific. Must
the. intor-atata commerce bill be supple
mented by an international cliuisoV or
will the remedy be the annexation of
the British. American possessions from
the Canadian shore in the east to the

The Clinnm Widening.
The di nfToOtion in the ranks of the
Now York democracy in a fact as well
defined as any other in the political
situation , and the evidences multiply
which show that the chasm between the
Cleveland and Hill factions is steadily
widening. This is duo to Mio fact that
the president has given not a single in
timation that ho is favorable to the re
flection of the governor. The friends
of Hill gave assurance that if ronomi-
natcd ho would labor vigorously for the
national ticket. It was al.su biiid that
a satisfactory understanding hud been
reached between Cleveland and
Hill , which ould enable the sup
porters of both to harmoni/.c. The
promise of the governor's supporters
lias thus far boon kept. 11111 Imf spoken
freely nnd fulbomoly in behalf of the
president , and has agreed to aid the
canvass in other states besides Now
York. But on the part of Mr. Cleve
land there has boon no notion , and no
intimation of a purpose to in lho least
degree reciprocate the friendly conduct
of Governor Hill. If ho desires the
governor's ro-olcction ho has thus far
failed to manifest it , and if there was
over a satisfactory understanding be
tween the two it is evidently known
only to themselves.
The Hill inoii are showing a very bitter -
tor feeling in consequence of the fail
ure of Mr. Cleveland to do what they
regard as a sacred duty both to the
party and to the governor. They look
upon his silence as utterly selfish and
Utterly ungrateful. They feel that in
order to retain the mugwump vote
Cleveland is prepared to see Hill sacri
ficed. They see no reason why the
president may not now write a letter in
behalf of the governor with as much
propriety as ho did in behalf of Prose
cuting Attorney Follows in the last New
York city election , and they have de
manded that ho shall give them this
evidence of his friendliness to Hill and
this help to the party. Meantime there
are reports of anti-Cleveland and anti-
Hill organi/ations among the democ
racy , of schemes for trading , and of
thrcatenlngs of knifing by each faction.
The dilemma in which Mr.Cleveland is
placed by this state of affairs is appar
ent. If ho endorse Hill he will lose a
part , and perhaps a largo part , of the
independent vote , with probably a con
siderable number of the democrats who
are opposed to the governor. If he do
not cndorso him ho will almost cer
tainly not got the votes of thousands of
the devoted followers of Hill. It Is im
possible to say in which direction the
lo s to Mr. Cleveland would bo the
greater , and doubtless this uncertainty
is perplexing the president not a lit
tle. But would a man entirely
loyal to his party and his political
obligations , rather than chiefly con
cerned for himself , long permit amattor
of this sort to perplex him ? Seeing dis
affection in the ranks of his party would
ho not make a brave and nianiy effort
to harmoni/o the party , even though ho
should appear to thereby ha/ard his
own political fortunes by driving from
himself an element the full value of
which cannot bo determined , and which
has proved to bo a somewhat trouble
some and disturbing influence in the
democratic councils of Now Yorlc ? But
Mr. Cleveland is chielly concerned for
himself , and whatever ho shall do or
omit to do will be duo to his
conviction that thereby he will
best promote his own interests. Mrv
Cleveland is using the democratic party ;
ho does not inten'd that it shall use him
His concern for it begins and ends with
the ambition to secure a second term in
the presidency. Meantime the demo
cratic situation in New York appears to
grow daily moro desperate and the diflV
cullies in the way of improving ii
steadily increase.
A Campaign Canard.
Among the statements for campaigr
purposes sent out from democratic
sources is one to the effect that the east
ern manufacturers are endeavoring to
make republican votes by intimidating
their employes. A Now York papdr pro
fesses to have received from many quar
ters reports that this is being done , and
it concludes that "there is a deliborat
effort making to carry this year's elec
lion by the wholesale intimidation o
workingmen at the hands of their cm
ployors. " According to this authorit
the method adopted is to tell working
men that if Cleveland is elected by thai
votes they will be punished by the clos
ing of the shops.
Of courto if anything of this sort
being done by employers anywhere n
language reprehending it could be toe
severe. Intimidation of voters , by
whomsoever practiced and upon whom
soever , is a wrong to bo condemned a
all times and under all circumstances.
The right of every citizen to cast his
vote according to his convictions of
duty should in no case be interfered
with , whether such oiti/on bo the white
worker in a northern factory or the
black laborer on a southern plantation.
But wo are compelled to regard as
wholly absurd the statement that there
is any general and systematic intimida
tion of workingmen in the east. No
employer of fair intelligence having a
business of any importance would approach
preach employes capable of forming a
judgment of how they should vote with
a threat of closing his mill or shop if
they did not vote the way ho thought
best. It is not improbable that some
employers have said to their workmen
that there is danger of having to sus-
pcnd business if the tariff policy of the
democratic party should prevail , but
whatever may bo thoughtof the wisdom
of such an opinion it will not bo said
that its expression is not legitimate.
It is a reflection on the Intelligence of
both employers nnd employed to
suppose that any auch method of
intimidation as that cited would be
generally adopted by the ono or have
any general effect upou , the other.
How many intelligent.worktngmon are
there in the easb or elsewhere who
would not aeo the absurdity of the
threat to close the shops in which they
worked in the event of their voting tha
democratic ticket , and how many em
ployers would put themselves in such a
ridiculous attitude before their em
ployes , with the certainty of exposure ?
That there manufacturers who are
, uaitig- theiriuduenco by urguuuint auti
appeal to Induce their voting employes
to vote the republican ticket , may Ins
granted , but there is no intimidation
in this , and wo venture to say thcro
could not bo found in the entire east a
do/on instances of employers who have
gone boj end this. Another thing , the
supporters of the Mills bill have claimed
that most of the manufacturers in the
woolen industry and f.omo in other in
dustries approved that measure. Are
these democratic manufacturers using
no Influence with their employes In behalf -
half of their party ?
If the workingmen of the east are at
all Hue those of the west they are doing
their own thinking this year , and will
very generally do their own voting. The
intimidation charge is the weakest yet
sent out to a country already burfolted
with democratic canards ,
Otnnlia'M Position
Talk about the embargo laid upon
Nebraska roads by the btato board of
ransportationl It is all moonshine.
The board is a doad-lettor , and the rail-
'oad ' managers know as well as wo do
hat a majority of its members are their
ibject creatures. They merely keep
up the farce of schedule-making and
'ato-roduction. ' Goncr.il Loose and
Treasurer Wlllard are In the minority
ivheiicvcr it comog to reduction of
rates. The next board will bo no hotter.
The railroads have made sure of their
majority and entertain no tear of serious
ntorforeiico with their methods of doing
business.
The pretense that railroad building
has boon stopped in Nebraska by reason
of the threatened reduction of railroad
earnings is all for effect on the dupes
, vho are to bo used in the present cam
paign to support railroad candidates
'or the legislature. It is the same old
game played so many times on timid
Omaha business men and people who
want a subterfuge for selling out the
material interests of this city and state.
Those are stubborn facts.
The merchants of Lincoln , who have
no such capital behind their backs as the
business men of Omaha , havoabandoncd
the time-bcrving policy. They have
quit paying tribute and boldly assume
the aggressive. Their loading mer
chants have forced the issue and turned
their political power to some account.
Instead of cringing and whining for
what they believe to bo their rights
they demand fair play , if ml back their
mandate with all the influence at their
uommand. Their candidates for the
legislature are selected with ono view
only , and that is to secure concessions
and appropriations for Lincoln.
Contrast that position with the lack
of self assertion on the part of Omaha
nnd her mercantile and manufacturing
lassos. Omaha , with her senator and
congressman , with her twelve members
111 the legislature , her millions of hunk-
ing capital , and millions of jobbing
and manufacturing patronage , volun
tarily surrenders all her political power
to be used against her own interest and
for the special service of the giant cor
poration , which has repudiated its
sacred obligations to Omaha anci re
tarded her growth and prosperity by
the most selfish and short-sighted pol-
icv.
icv.Is
Is it not about time for Omaha to
wake up and servo notice on the Union
Pacific that she will no longer remain
a moro newer of wood and drawer of
water , politically and commercially , for
that company.

THEUK was placed on file at the re
cordor's office in Council Bluffs recently
live bills of sale aggregating three
hundred and forty thousand dollars
They represented the transfer in owner
ship of locomotives and cars from tin
Union Pacific to various trust companic
east. They are in reality mortgages on
certain rolling stock owned by th
Union Pacific. But marif the subter
fuge. When the tax asscs < oiin ; Iowa
comes to make his assessment , h
will bo shown these bills of sale
Ho cannot assess this rollingstocl
because It will be claimed that it is not
owned by , but leased to the Union Pa
cific. When the tax assessors east come
to the Roger locomotive company , to
the Michigan car works and to the
Pullman company , they will bo told
that this same rolling stock has only
been mortgaged to them. Hundreds of
thousands of dollars of property an
nually c&oapo taxation by this sort of
trickery. Tax shirking is an evil which
must bo met by radical legislation.
WCSTKUN dressed beef has gradually
taken the place of the domestic article
in the oast. The prejudice whioh once
oxLstod is now gone since consumers
have found that beef dressed in the
west is of bettor quality and of lower
price than the homo product. In the
past few years the beef packing indus
try of the west has grown to great pro
portions. It is likely to supply the
whole country within a few yearf , since

The exhibition at Mclhouino has been 11
gratifying success , which seems to bo duo to
the Australian fondness for such things
as much as to the intrinsic excellence of the
lisplay. The American Court is conspicuous
in the Avcnuo of Nations for its line en
trance , which 1ms been treated with much
originality and artistic skill. There is , i
colossal semicircular archw.iy springing
from the capitals of six Corlnthl.ni columns ,
and the voussoirs are paneled with devices
representing alt the stall's of thoiinion. The
keystone is nil enormous golden eagle , which
is flanked by fla.'staffs witli the national
banner. At tlio doorway of the United
States commissioner's office is n pretty well

but , strange to say , notGeorgo , and ho ushers

hibits from Virginia , and these have oxciUri
real enthus'ni'ai iVjiiong the antipodians of
Australia. Indeed-tho display Is so thoiough
and so unique , nnd in some particulars so
amusing , that manj' visitors consider it to bo
the best in the whole exhibition. Besides a
thorough showing of tobacco of every variety
displayed in a business like way , there are
an infinity of objects formed out of cignrs
und plugs of , James rher cavendish
and natural leaf , and these tickle
the Australlana'to the last degree. In ono
plnco is a Catling gun formed of cigars nnd
cigarettes , in another a star of loaf tobacco ,
in a third there is A gigantic pair of shears
formed of plugs. There Is also a large si/ed
model of a tobacco factory and a magnificent
case made of mahogany and silver-plated
metal filled with smoking and rhowing to
baccos of many brands put up in paper of
the most gorgeous coloring and startling de
signs as trade marks. California has dis
tinguished itself by a piano with an attach
ment for tuning , and by some very line
furniture , but the Australians are laughing
at the enterpiiso of a San Francisco real
estate dealer , who makes a display of maps
of various sizes and tons of pamphlets about
California and its golden climate. Australia
is hardly an emigrating country.

The departure of the Gorman expedition
for the relief of Emin Hey bus been delayed
until the rising of the natives m East Africa
is quelled. Such is the information tele
graphed recently in Builln , nnd no doubt
will bo entertained of its accuracy , seeing
that the route of the relief expedition was
through Xan7ibar. Two and two make four.
What the telegram does not toll us is the
time in whieti the doughty Hismnrvk pro
poses to quell a rising witli which American
patriots must sympathise , nnd which appears
to bo general throughout Central Africa.
Much as wo admlro nnd fraternally as we
regard the German race , wo rue disposed to
sympathize with the people of Zanzibar who
are driving Gorman colonists from their
lands. These Zniuibnrians are by no means
savages , but , on the contrary , boast of a
strong infusion of Arab blood m their veins ,
and have acivilization of their own wtueh has
its merits. No treaty with the sultan of
Zanzibar can possibly confer any rights of
settlement on the Oermuns , for , though the
sultan theoretically owns everything , includ
ing the land , It is as a trustee for the pooplo.
This trusteeship is not a part of the sultan-
Ship , which is purely military , but belongs to
the religious title of Imnum. All the Arabic
tribes nro intensely patriotic and care very
little for their rulers , who , In most cases ,
combine religious nnd military authority to
very little purpose. It is about time that
this grab game in Africa should bo stopped

It is Inconceivable that a government so
strong as that of Russia should stoop to the
vexations ot the passport system. The news
comes that so farfiom relaxing thrironerous
rules they have added others , some of them
directed squarely against the .lows , not only
these who are of Russian nationality , but
against men of the race , whatever their land.
What is the secret of this Slavonic hatred
against the .Tows ? It is n mystery , for na
turally the Slavons nro light-hearted , friendly ,
good-natured people , who , in reinoto ages ,
certainly displayed no animosity to the Jews ,
but on the contrary , a strong lilting for
thorn.

The Franou propose to restrict immigra
tion into Franco. This decision is aimed
against the Italian laborers who tramp over
the Alps and find work as railroad laborers ,
and as stonecutters. They are wi'lmg to no
cept lower wages than tlio native laborers ,
who certainly have not been very grasplng-in
their demands. The French cividently uc ,
copt the formula-tuat the work of a country
belongs to the workmen of tlmt country , and
that is , in fact , the basis of the social com
pact , and the only reasonable ground on
which a state can claim a citizen oa a soldier
for Its defense from invasion or for the prc
sarvatlon of order.

HANDLING MEN IN LOTS.
The Business of Furnishing Gnnift of
Iinliororn to Employers.
Milwaukee Sentinel : "Enclosed find
order for pass for 100 men from Milwau
kee to Hurley. Send in twenty and
twenty-five lots. Send anything except
Gorman. "
"Can you send us 150 men at once ?
No Iri.sh unless you know them. "
Some of the employment agencies on
tbo enst side receive letters ) and tele-
prnnis like the above every day. Some
idea of the magnitude of the business
may be gained from the fact that last
year this iigroucy supplied : , < > 00 men to
applicants for unskilled laborers. Thus
far this bcubon it has biipplieti 1,500
men.
"I have little trouble in getting1
men , ' ' said the manager the other day.
' 'I make it a rule to get my orders first
nnd then advertise for the men. I am
kept pretty busy ns yon may see from
those letters and telegrams. I will send
forty Italians to the Hurley mines on
Monday and Tuesday. Twenty-six go
out to-night to two different places in
the northern part of the state. "
"What wages do such men command ? "
"Woll'day laborers , got $1.75 wheel
scrapers and graders got $1.75 a day ,
while in railroad work from li ( to iJO
cents a cubic foot is paid for what is
called station work , and the men usually
put in long hours on it. I think
they average from twenty-eight to
thirty foot a day. One dollar a cord is
paid for catting wood. Swedes always
prefer piece work , and they will do an
astonishing1 amount of work in a day.
Sometimes they begin tnoir labors be
fore daylight. There is a great differ
ence in the manner of the various na
tionalities among laborers. Take the
Italians , for instance ; they invariably
go in gangs. One is always looked up
to as a leader and ho is expected to do
all correspondence , arrange for trans
portation and so forth. They prefer to
do their own cooking , nnd c.m live on
about SvS a month. The loaders of the
gangs of Italians in variably defraud the
mon in various ways , but they seem to
escape detection. The Italian's great
ambition is to make money enough to
go bark to Italy well heeled. They
have their bankers in Now York , and
send their savings there little by littlo.
The Italians are almobt the only ones
who will pay their own railroad fares ;
others will use almost every possible
effort to got their transportation paid
for them. "
"Where do you send monV"
"All over Wisconsin , Minnesota and
northern Michigan. I did send quite a
number south on the government works ,
but the interstate commerce law liitcr-
ferrod by raising the price of tickets
fourfold. I handle the mon over and
over again. When the gangs -ire about
through their jobs , their leaders write
mo asking if any orders for men are
in.1'
"There are risks in your buitness , of
course ? "
"Yes , I have Ui bo careful. For
auhilo the men had a habit of borrow
ing money ot mo and giving mo an or
der on the salaried to come. I had to
shut down on it , M some of them had a
practice of changing their names when
thov got to their work , and thus boat-
ing'mo out of my loan. The men thom-
solveb often defraud euch other. Those
I sent south from here I gave sealed en
velopes containing an order for their
tickets on a Chicago firm. By giving
bonds I was enabled to do this. Well ,
some of the men would "buy orders for
tickets to Cairo from mo and then on
the train to Chicago would try to ex
change envelopes with those going to
Now Orleans. They would pretend to
compare envelopes and then make a
secret exchange.

"I came here to Om.ilm , " continued Jfr. I.nti-
fenberg , "alxnit four \ears iigo , from Mlnne *
sow. Anyone who has e\er Ihed In that state
Know show cold it gutathoic , well the last winter -
ter that I was In Minnesota 1 took n snvoro cnld
which snon turned Into n li-ul case of catarrh ,
and all I could do to stop It WIIB of no nvnll. I
suffered a long lime with It. too. I tried numer
ous dllToientcaMurh lemedlen that were advor-
tlhod ns a "sure cuio" for cntnirh. nnd doctored
more or less w ith different doctors , but I could
obtain no cure. I was sometimes relieved , but
that was when the we.ither grew warm : then 1
would get better , but as soon lira cold snap
came on 1 took a fresh cold and wan asli.ld ns
ever. I could not rest at nlglU and often would
have to set up to avoid the Htrnnijlliig feeling I
w ould have from the dropping of mucus In the
back of the throat. I would arise Intheihoin-
Ing feeling more tired than when I retired the
night bofoie ; then my trMiblo would begin In
earnest ; I was continually hawking nnd spitting ,
so much so tlmt my throat was In nn aw fill con
dition ; 1 had continual headaches and pains
ovqr my oei , and my ejes wore Inflamed and
sore : my breast felt sore and there was nil aw
ful tightnesH on my chest , so much that I had
dllllcultvln Ino.ithlng ; It soon extended to my
stomach and there was scaicely a morning that
I did not vomit directly aft < T eating my break-
fast. causing me to woik all morning on an
omptyMoniach.
I w'astn this condition and almost discouraged
when I learned from a friend that Dr. 0. M.Jor
dan hart cured his catarrh and ho advised mo to
Co beehlm ; I WIHM : > disheartened with the at
tempts that I Had made for relief that f consid
ered for quite n time befoio I called on him , but
at last I concluded that 1 had bolter make the
tilal , anil I net or will regiet having come to that
conclusion for I only doctored few weeks wit/ !
him until
1 Felt So Much 11-ttor ,
and I kept on until now. I warroly know what
catarrh is ; I can get a good nlidit'H rest and eat
thicemenlH a dnv , nnd they do m good too ; I
do not have that hawking and spitting any more
nor do I have the dropping In the back of ttio
tlnoat , and my tlnoat does not get nero any
more as It dlil ; nil in all. I feel like now man ,
nnd I feel to day that tbo best thing 1 ever did ,
wan when I tooK my friends , advlro and called

time on patent medicines but go at one" to Dr.
C. M. Jordan , and liavn It cured. I was told by
one doctor Ilmt catarrh was mcurablo , but ho
either did not know how to euro it or did not
know what ho wnx talking about , for Dr. Jordan
