Plcnsnnt ,
I'ntlier Ilimtliigton'ri ( jccttirp.
The Uov. Father James O. S. Huntlngton ,
A member of the Order of the Holy Cross of
Now York city , addressed the members of
the Central Labor union last evening on the
clchthourniicstlott.
"Wo nro told , " began the speaker , "that
wo are suffering from over-production. It
takes very llttlo thought for us to sco that
the meaning of the word over-production Is
wioni ; . It means that the people have
no means of giving a raturn
for the goods Included under the
head of oror-productlon. What Is necessary
In order to create Industry nil over the coun
try I'H that people who rc.illy need such goods
nnould bo nblo to Ilnd an rqulvalent for
them , Tnoro would bo n far bettor distribu
tion of productn If all were ublo to work but
eight hours. What wo want is n larger
iiomo mantel , a larger homo consumption.
Then will the condition of living bo butter.
Wo base the argument ol tbo eight hour
nrgumcnt upon the fact that there are too
many working over eight hours. It is r mis
take to think , however , th it the cutting
down of the hours of labor will provo the
remedy desired. Where all workers are em
ploy cd their wages will increixo. The no
lion of the wage fund is common , but It is n
gross mistake. Wages are not paid by cunl-
tnl , but bj wapo-woritors. For instance :
So ninny pairs of shoes have been made
nt n factory on n Saturday night. What
is obtained from the sale of these ahorsrcpru-
BCBts much more than wtiat the woikmon re-
re ivo It represents n great profit to the
factory owners , besides a payment of nil ex
pense1 ? . The more these nro creating the
more there is to distribute among these cre
ating.
"Men who workmen or twelve hour a nday
care nothing but for food nnd sleeping. I
know this to ho so , for I won tout ns u work
men myself , nnd I wont through the experi
ence very thoroughly. 1 found that whoio I
worked ten hours n'day I cared for nothing
but eating and sleeping. When I worked
eight hours a day I bad time for and wanted
to do seine reading nrd writing. Whenever
men work ten cr twelve hours a day they
have no demands for anything clsn but
animal demands. SVh.y is it that foreigners
nro willing to work for so little )
Simply bccauso they have boon so
crushed down that they are
content simply with having plenty of eating
nnd sleeping. They experience no desire for
education don't know what It means.
"I say , thereloio , that an eight-hour law
will given man timu for doing something
else aside from ratine and sleeping will give
on opportunity for something better than
mere animal existence.
"Some men say that if an eight-hour law
was in existence the extra time would bo
Kpcnt in beer drinking or something similar.
Who says thisl The capitalists the
very mon who spent J20.000 in n
Binglo night for flowers , and another
f 10,000 for some other pait of a night's iov-
elry."Wo
"Wo have nn argument drawn from
history. Three hundred years a o , in Eng
land , the eight hour rule was in voguo. If it ,
was n success then , as it most certainly was ,
why should it not bo in this day ? Place no
dependence on the talk going on today
against the eight hour systonf.
"Wo nro not going to secure the eight
hour law simply by legislation , Why demon
mon work for twelve nnd thirteen bouts to
day I Is It because they are so enamoured
with work ! Nonsense. You know it Is
nonsense , bocausq your common sense tolls
you so. The [ insertion that the eight hour
rule cannot oxlst in this country bocnuso it
is over-populated Is absurd. There are
millions of acios hero yet untouched. Uho
trouble is that so much of it is owned by
great landlords who arc Heating high , taking
expensive pleasure trips toPiuis and other
eayccntoia. Justus soon as n man gets
better xvngcs ho has to pay raoio rent. If It
is not one thing it is another the rich land
owner must bo supported. UhU goes to
ahow that something more than IcgiRlatlon
is nccohsnry. Ihls 'something more' Is bring
ing about a change In the arrangement
by which a man can secure the power to
hold vast tracts of land supposedly on a sort
of govoi nmcnt lease , or by government con-
BCIII , and rent It out again at n big profit
Without wonting n foot of it himself.
"I don't believe that landloids can hold
prooorty or are entitled to prollt by property
simply a * landlords. What n man
makes or manufactures is his own.
How can n mnn manufacture
land ? God is the only landlord , lor Ho is
the only ono who has mauo land. The na
tion holds the land In trust for its citizens.
ICvory tlmo n child is born the nation for
feits n part of the land.
"If you think that a certain class of mon
have been created who have nil privileges
nnd no duties , then you should drop this
struggle. "
In closing the reverend gentlemen said ho
Hoped that all present would como to hear
Ills lecture at Boyd's opera house tomorrow
afternoon ut t o'clock.
The speaker was given a vote of thanks by
the union lor bis lecture.

do not doubt that many u man who lias
reached fiuno and honor and tibofulnoss
to his country owes all his proatnoss to
the title of "colonel , " which his
admiring friends have conferred
upon him. As BOOH QB u man

OHO , when nti order was Issued to close thorn
nnit OMC house was raided wlnlo tbo others
were ijlvcn a quiet "tip" In advance. It Is a
bona fldo deal , by which nil the gamblers
have agreed with the executive committee ol
the anti-gambling association to not only
close up but to remove their furniture nnd
gambling appliance * . They had their cbolco
ol doing this or of being rattled and having
everything destroyed. They have faithfully
promised to carry out their part of tha agree
ment , and there Is little dnngor that they
will break faith , It was Intended to close
them tip Monday morning , Just before the
advent of the now administration , but the
patnblcra professed a willingness to close
tonight , and that Is how the time was finally
llxeil. The now administration will take
possession without a gambling house In the
city , so far as Is known. The committee h
determined to shut out all of these places ,
and request any one who nmy now know or
boroaftrr learn of the existence of such a
pines within the city limits lo no
tify ttiom of It , antt they will
RCO that the place Is closed.

only announces his willingness to close , but
Btntes that ho Is n reformer from "way

bling houses have been taken oil the frco
li t the saloons must go too. Ills theory Is
that the move to close the gambling houses
criminated and wat fostcicd by saloon men
In other portions * of the city , who felt that
the gambling houses drew n largo portion of
tholr rightful patronage to the more centrally
located saloons , and that for this reason they
.want , the gambling houses closed. Ilo pro-
noiM to sen that , every saloon In the city is
closed tightly at , both PHUS , and will selzo all
liquor brought over from Omaha. In this
way tin says ho will shut up all the saloons.
The other saloon kccpcrn insist that Carrigg
is Mmply blulllng , and will be as anxious lo
continue in the saloon business as an.v of the
rest of them.
The committee will not mtcrfcro in the
Raloon fight , but will conflne their warfare
to the gambling houses. They say they have
secured what they went after ana are per
fectly satisfied. They will remain on tuo
lookout for any palter rooms or other gam
bling places that may bo run "on the quiet , "
nnd will close them whenever Information of
the kind Is brought to thorn , They have
visited the high 11 vo resorts and all card
rooms nnd notified the proprietors that all
gambling must cease or the tables will bo

The genial warmth of the real estate exchange -
change contrasted so pleasantly with the
bore.ui blastB yesterday that an extra in
ducement was offered the crowds , and whan
the exchange opened at . ' ! o'clock a crowded
house greeted President Jildd. A great deal
of good lively discussion was holu on import
ant subjects. The matter that attracted
the most interest was the report made by
the president that alargo boiler manufactory
now located In un eastern city and employ
ing ffom live hundred to eight hundred men ,
could bo brought to this city ; that the pro
prietors were dissatisllcd with their present
location and wore compelled to move on ac
count of scarcity of water. The manage
ment of the concern was favorably impressed
with Council BlufN and was willing to come
hero provided they were guaranteed n portion
tion of the expense necessary for the re
moval of such n largo plant.
Tills discussion ntimulated the moneyed
men present , and the proposition was made
to orgnnio a manufacturing association with
a capital of $100,01)1) ) ) , the capital stock of
which was to no used for the encouragement
of manufacturing enterprises , tun members
of the association to bccomo stockholders in
every enterprise assisted , and the ussistancs
to take the lorm of stock in the various en- ,
terprises. After n good deal of discussion
the following agreement was drawn up and
approved :
"I'lio undersigned agree to booamo stock
holders to the extent or $1.000 each to a cor
poration to encourage the location of manu
factories in Council Bluffs. The business
of the said corporation to bo managed
by a board of directors of not leas than thir
teen mombois. This agreement is condi
tioned that fifty full members and 100 half
members arc obtained. The board shall
. have power to mnko assessments uuon the
capital stock , but no assessment shall bo
made fur more than 10 per cent of each
member's stock and not oftoncr than the
board requires for the location of manu
factories , "
The agreement was signed by u large rum-
her of these present and It will be circulated
generally for signatures.

A Itctirlne Ofllnlnt'n Views.
Judge Aylesworth will today close up his
superior court businots preparatory to turn
ing it ever to Judge Mcdoo on Monday , at
which time the March term will convene.
Judge Aylosworth will again open n law of-
ilcc , but whether in this city or in Omaha ho
1ms not yet determined. Ho Is negotiating
With a prominent Omaha law firm to become
a partner and open n branch otllro on this
aide of the river. Ho expresses great satis
faction at being able to turn over the odlco
ho uow holds to so gentlemanly n successor
as Judge McUco , and announces the belief
that the latter will bo "all right. "
Among other things , Judge Aylcsworth is
speculating as to tl\o \ policy to bo pursued by
the now administration with reference to
collecting "Hues" from the saloons and dis
orderly houses. "I nm Inclined to think , "
said the outgoing ofllcial , "that the now
council will put a atop to the system. U is
not ut nil likely that Mayor Macrao will
countenance It , and I should Do very glad to
BOO It stopped. If the mayor nn-i council
propose to levy It , however , n they
have In the past , the court will
have very llttlo to do In the nutter.
At 110 tlrno hsu It boon lawful m this state to
collect u license , and tbls monthly line U
nothing loss than a license , from prostitute * .
The supreme court has so decided , yet this
U what our oQloials have been doing for tbo
past two years. The same is true of the
galoous. When we have a llcenie law
tbo saloon business la legalized , but under
the prcteut circumstance * tbo business It
lllog.ll. nnd to Is the llconoc , tar or flno derived
rived from it. It Is nothing but blackmail ,
and that Is all you can make of It. It was
this very thing thai caused the trouble between -
tweon the mayor and the marshal. The
mayor wanted to collect the fines nnd the
marshal refused because ho know that It
was Illegal. That was why the work was
delegated to the chief of police. Of course ,
the marshal got bis fees out of It , ns ho was
entitled to them under the present ordi
nances ,
"By the way , I sf o that the council wants
to cut down the salary of tbo marshal. A
very simple nnd effectual way of doing It
would be to but off the fees on arrests tnadn
bg n regular policeman. At present ho ro-
celvcs N. 10 for every nrrost tnado by any
member of the police force , In ca o the ar
rested party pays his line , and It is very evi
dent that ho is not entitled to It.
"You see , when the mnn is arrested ho U
turned ever to the marshal's caro. The
marshal mnkoi out thn warrant after the
man is In jail , nnd all ho docs is to see that
thu fellow Is taken baforo the police magis
trate. A slight change In the ordinance
would change nil that. It is just ns easy to
regulate M It Is to pass an ordinance requir
ing a common carrier to take out n license.
If those fees were cut off the salary of the
marshal would bo noao too largo. A court
oQlccr could then bo appointed to tuko these
follows into court , nnd he could take the
place of the day jailor If necessary. That is
the only manner In which the feoa can bo
out off. The marshal is the executive oniier
of the superior court , and muu receive his
fees as such , but ho cannot collect fees In
cases whcru ho is not interentod If the
council passes an ordinance forbidding It. "

"Not guilty. " No more ehoerv , gladsome
vvorda over fell upon the ear of the Ucv. Mr.
Helmlck than those , ns they were uttered
yesterday by Judge Thornoll , ns ho closed
the reading of the formal llndng | of the jury.
Mr , Holmlck was Bitting just within the rail ,
having been hurriedly summoned by n mes
senger , who informed him that the jury had
como in , nnd was ready to report. Mrs. ,
Hcltnick was by his sldo , nnd both loaned
forward eagerly listening for every word
written upon the mysterious piece of paper
which had just boon handoJ to the judge by
the foreman. While confident that in all
justice nnd right there could bo no other
verdict than that of acquittal , yet the fact
that the jury hud boon out hours , where only
minutes were oxoc-ctoJ , naturally uiado him
anxious and in a ceitaln degree un
certain. As the words "not eullty" were
read by the judge relief was < iulcily
nnd strongly pictured on his face. The wife ,
n fr.iil appearing lady , who had been strug
gling with her emotions , exclaimed , "Thank
the Lord , " and gi\vo way to her tears , while
wcaltncss , following the intense strain unoti
her fcclingft , caused her to almost sin ! : . Her
husband caught her with his arms , nnd kiss
ing her. the two wept together. Friends
gathered about and tno expressions of joy
and eongiatulation wore as varied tu the in
dividuality of those who proffered them. The
machinery of the court was soon started on
another and less sensational case , while Mr.
Ilclmlclc walked out surrounded by his
family and friends. On reaching the corri
dor he was kept busy shaking the hands of
others for some time.
Tno result of the trial was generally ex
pected. The only disappointment was in the
length of time the jury remained out. When
tno case was given to the jury at 4 o'clock
Thursday afternoon the court room was
crowded , and ns the twelve men Hied out to
their room very few loft their seats , expect
ing that by a short wait they would bo ena
bled to hear the verdict , It being conceded
that but a few minutes would bo necessary
to roach nn "agreement , acquitting the de
fendant. Au the minutes rolled Into hours
the numbers grow leas and their anxiatv
greater. "What is the matter ? " No ono
seemed to know. All sorts os rumors were
afloat ns to the secrets of the jury room.
They increased in numbers and variety as
the hours wont by , and yesterday forenoon
the nlr was full of them. It was 3 o'clock ,
the hour for the opening of the afternoon
session of court , when the jury reported.
The case has.attracted a great deal of at
tention , not only because of the prominence
of the defendant , but because of its peculiar
character. The Btato had n number of wit *
nesses who admitted being mcmbeis of u
Vang of conspirators , who under the law
would rightly be sent to the' penitentiary ,
and yet none of these conspirators had been
oven subjected to nrrost , whllo the man
against , whom this conspiracy was formed ,
nnd who defended himself from their at
tacks , was subjected to nil tha humiliation
mid torture of being tried for the charge of
murder. That u verdict of acquittal would
be the result was apparent , but
that these who had confessed to a crime-
should bo allowed to go free , whllo the law-
abiding citizen who repel ted tholr attacks
was being prosecuted , if not persecuted ,
seemed passing strange
No verdict has been returned which has
given such general satisfaction. The eon-
ildcnco felt by Mr. Ilclnuck's brothers of
the church has been made manifest by his
rcappolntnicnt to the pastorate of the Metho
dist , church nt Ncoln at the last session of
the annual conference It was decided , however -
over , at that time that ho should not preach
so loner ns ho was resting under so heinous n
charge. In other respects ho has continued
as the active pistor of the church. His ac
quittal remove ) all bar to his uow entering

"Will you preach noxtSundayl"
"Vos , " replied Mr. HolinloV. "Now that
I am clear of this chnrgo I shall engage in
my work as usual nnd expect to preach on
Sundnv. There is to bo a formal investiga
tion of the matter by a church committee ,
but that is simply a matter of form , thin ver
dict noltlln everything. I have arranged
with inv presiding elder nnd shall preach us

some tltnn ago , depending on the result of
this trial. "

The money market has boon relieved by
