THE PRIMARIES THE PLACE , Attorney General Lccsa Points the Way to Party Parity. OEN , VAB WYOK MADE A MISTAKE. \Vhllo I lie Motive That Prompted Ills Manifesto In Golden tlio Adop tion of the HngKCHtlon Would bo : Ltxcor.x , Nob. , April 2S. [ Special toTnp. BKE. ] In speaking of General Van Wyck's manifesto , pronounced nt David City the other day , Attorney General Lccso says : "Tho general says a great many good things and I concede that his heart Is In the right place. Men differ , however , as to means for the accomplishment of purposes , nnd I am compelled to tnko issue with him when ho recommends action that can not help but bankrupt the republican party In this state. It wont do to lose sight of the fact that the party carried us safely through the critical test of the nation's life. It won't do to tear down an edifice built upon n rock and then build upon the sand. There Is no question but what the farmers of Nebraska have suffered , and still suiter abuses from corporate powers , but It Is folly to recommend disruption of party at the iwlls when the evils that bo can bo remedied at the primaries and In convention , "Them is no use talking about using the ballot nt this stage of the game. That Is just where the people have missed It for many years past. They have always waited until the nominations had been made and then used the ballot. If the people will only attend the prltnai ies and semi men to do the nominating they can control the political organization of both parties. The power Is In the hands of the people. They have but to yield it in the proper man lier and success will crown their efforts. The Fanners' alliance is doing the \vork well. It Is a strong organization , nnd holds the bal ance af rfowcr. If It should follow General VanWyck's advice and -put up n ticket it would have the effect of draw ing away from the republican party enough votes to let la the democrats. Then ! Is no doubt but wlmt there are enough republicans In the alllanco to control all the nominations of county and state of course with the assistance of those who live in the cities nnd towns that , are In sympathy with them. "There is a greater principle at stake than any olllce. The conflict is between the 'classes and the masses' and the masses will win If they assert their rights through the ordinary channels. "The republican party h good enough for me and I shall stand with it as long as cor ruption can bo doctored within itrflines. All republicans who care to assist in throwing oft oppressive shackles owe the party a duty and should attend the convention called for May iiO in this city. " NOTARIAL AITOlSTMJIXTS.

This is the famous White-Roberts assault and buttery case that was tried at Tckamah , October ! . ' , 1889.

As n result of their meeting nt Clioycnno lost week with division oOlclnla of the road , the Union Paclllo conductors have given an ultimatum to General Manager Dickinson , which , they say , "means business. " One member of the committee asked that several statements In Cheyenne , Denver and certain other papers regarding this contro versy IKS corrected. Thcso made It appear that only a few conductors on the Nebraska and Wyoming divisions were Interested , whereas the brotherhood of brakcmen , the baggagemen and all the conductors belonging to the cntlro system have been giving the movement their support. " \Vo had , " said he , "representatives from every district and they were not all conductors orseither. . The Impression that wo alone nro responsible for any disturbances the mutter may have created Is what I wuntTiir. IJin : to remove , because every railroad organization having anything to do with the running of trains Is In it with us. "Xhcro were forty-three coinmlttccmcn present. I stated that every division was represented. That Is not quite true. There was no one from the Oregon Short-Hue. "Our demands for pay less mileage , ad ditional crows and a conductor for every light engine run have already been rnadt ) pub- lie. They need not be repeated. "Managers McNcnl and Hessogulo of the St. .Toe ft , Craiid ! Island and the mountain divisions Indicated their willingness to grant anything wo asked. "Managers Ulckenson and Meek of the Missouri 1'aclllo and Pan-Handle divisions held out. "Division Superintendent Choato of the Colorado system felt as Mi-Meal and lies- scguio did , but being subject to Mr. Dicken- son'.i orders , could do nothing. "Kvcry ono of these men gave us respect ful treatment except Meek. Ho was very uncivil and loft an impression among the boys not entirely complimentary to htm. " it is understood that Meek went up to the meeting ono morning from Denver , made a speech to the committee , which the latter did not Hlce , and disappeared. Vigorous ex ceptions , it is said , were taken to some of his statements. Continuing his conversation , the conductor asserted tills matter could neither be passed over lightly nor compromised. "They say there Is no danger of a strike because theeou- ductors are a non-striking body ; further , that n clause in the constitution of the brother hood brohlblted them from striking. "While all this Is so now , it may not bo so very long. Our annual meeting will be held next month in Rochester , N. Y. , and then wo hope to have that clause stricken out. The issue is up In a light for chief conductor. William I' . Daniels , secretary and treasurer of the order , is our candidate. In other words , he represents the element favorable to doing away with the prohibitory strike e.ause. 'If wo fail to elect him , then there will bo a split in the order. All of the conductors west of the Missouri * river propose to with draw and form an organization of their own. They feel strongly inclined to take this step anyway If for no other reason than they are opposed by the eastern brethren in nearly every proposition. The struggle is certain to bo a hot and and hard one. " "Thou , if you succeed in electing your man and a settlement be not made with the Union I'ui-ilic will you inautninite a strlkoi" "Time will toll. Willie tlio moutain divi sion men got what they wanted , every one of them has pledged himself not to accept it until those on the Nebraska or Missouri di vision also have their demands nccccded. "Our ultimatum requests Mr. Dickcnson , providing ho cannot accede to its provision , to appoint a conference for Juno 2 , with Vice- President Holcomb , when every member of the committee , as well as Mr. Daniels , if ho succeeds at Rochester ; C. C. Clark , general organi/er of the order ; S. E. Wilkinson. grand master , brotherhood of bmkemen , and T. T. Slattery , who loolcs after their interests in the northwest , will be present. " Mr. Diekoribou was seen , and said that some of their demands weie , according to his views , more than the company could stand. "These men cannot say that I treated them in any other than the most respectful manner. "I simply argued my side of the question from a business standpoint. I said to Mr. Holcomb last Saturday atternoon that I would bo perfectly willing to adopt the sched ule of any road west of Chicago. The men , however , I am satislied , would oppose that proposition. There is not another road pay ing as big wages as the Union Pacific. In a few instances passenger conductors get more , but freight conductors and brakcmen reteivo considerably less. Where they pay this class ? IO , $ lr > ami ff > 0 u month , our sched ule runs from $00 to § 75.

Coup and his company of trained horses performed at Boyd's ' opera house last night to a very largo and highly pleased mull- onco. To many people the attraction Is more Interesting than n circus , minstrel show , spectacular drama or farcecomedy. . They marvel at and go Into raptures over the knowledge displayed by that noble animal , the horso. Mr. Coup's company is miido up of very Intelligent boasts , and they Iwvo been trained to do some clover things. The star. Bonito , probably won the greatest amount of admiration , though little Nick , an ex tremely small actor , and Pack , the comedian , came in for a great deal of applause. Pack is a donkey , and his actions showed how easily that species can bo trained to obey a master , lionito , however , did some very clover things In mathematical calculations , in picking out colors and finding articles called for by persons - sons in the audience. Then the entire troupe went through a military drill and fought a buttle. In his programme Mr. Coup states that tlicoo horses understand moro than MK ) different commands containing u vocabulary of UOwoiiK The entertainment Is inter- sHrst d with other pleasing features , such as double cornet playmg by 11.

Repre sentatives claim that the union had not even decided as to whether or not that body would recommend u parade of the labor unions on May 1. They claimed that It would not require a very long time to make preparations for such a display , In fact , that the matter might bo attended to in it day by means of the press. It is not Im probable , however , that n parade will bo or- dured at the last moment. Secretary Collins of the builders' and traders' exchange said yesterday that so far as ho know there was nothing which Indi catcd that the trades In this city would pur. tlclpala In the great movement. "There has been no meeting talk whatever" on the floor of the exchange. A few casual remarks have been made In private by two or three of the members , but they wore comparatively uiiconsequcnilnl so far as news is concerned. For my part , I do not really believe the men in Omaha are going to make any demonstra tion on May 1. If they were , I should think they would bo saying u little something about it , that Is , if they want to find out how the contractors feel on the subject. Do you know that I think there wouldn't bo so many labor disturbances ns tlicro uro If the papers were to say less about them nnd not continue to work up every little Hurry that occurs. " Superintendent Coots was seen at the now city hall site where there are sixty-one men of various trades , principally however , stone workers and laborers steadily employed. " 1 have heard nothing whatever , " said Mr. Coots , "to make me think there Is going to bo any strike or trouble of any sort. The plain fact of the mnttcr'fs that there Isn't overly much work in Omaha at the present tlmo for men to do. There would bo less , should n strike occur. No sir , I can't give you a bit of information oir the subject. " A foreman was spoken to nnd said : "If there is to bo a strike I honestly don't know a thing about It. Wo are moving things along in a very satisfactory mnnner for nil that I know , hero on the city hall building. " Several workmen were talked with on the subject but all expressed the same idea us that of the foreman. Over at the now carriage repository build ing at the northwest corner of Hartley and Eighteenth , however , the carpenters at work talked as though Omaha men might join in the move. Ono very intelligent and appar ently well posted workman said : "We , at least- propose to see how the Chicago cage strike comes out before doing anything. If , with the fine organization which they have there , they cannot succeed , I doubt the wis dom of trying to do anything here. There is no doubt in the world but that the eight hour move will bo a success sooner or later and , I think not very much later. There about tweuty-flvo hundred carpenters in Omaha to day , but only one out of every ten is a m-st class man and entitled to nine hours pay eight hours work. Fif teen hundred of the ' . ' ,500 are now at work , but from the looks of things there wont bo work enough even to keep that many busy in Omaha all summer , for building is slack. " "Then , if Chicago carpenters win the Omaha men will try to. " was asked. "Yes sir , that's about it I guess. " "And you think the Chicago boys will win ! " "I certainly do , and I think the latest re- poits bear mo out. " "Would the 2,500 hero all stick together or only the ono out of ten good men , you spoke ofi" "There would bo enough of them stick to make the thing a su'eeess. It would bo a rather bad thing on Omaha to have the work now being done hero stop. " "Do you own property hcrel" "You bet I do. " "Then the strike would bo a bad thing for you ns well as the rest of Omaha ? " "Oh , 1 could get a job somewheres or lay idle till the thing blow over. We're llxed for such emergencies. " "Do you hear much talk about May 1 among other carpenters or workmen of any kind ! " "A little , now and then. " "What seems to bo the feeling ? " "Just about as I have told you I felt. If Chicago wins well , I wont say any more. " THE TKAM OWNKUS. * Stops Taken to Organize Under the KiilghtB ot * ImlxnISiumcr. . A meeting of teamsters and team owners was hold at Green's hall on Farnam street last night. About one hundred were present , and the meeting was presided over by T , II. Stewart. The committee , appointed at the first meet ing about a week ago to prepare and pre sent a bctiemo for organizing , presented its report , recommending that application bo made to the general assembly of the Knights of labor for u charter. The report was adopted , and the declaration of principles of the Knights1 of Labor wat > read lor the in formation of those present. The idea of restricting the membership in the assembly about to be organised to team owners was advocated , and it was suggested that the drivers organize an assembly among themselves with the same object in view. Ono speaker advised thu formation of a union , and then suggested that a delegation bo sent to the city council to ask for relief from the teamsters who come In from other states during the best season , bringing their supplies with them nnd underbidding the local team owners so that In order to got any work the latter wore compelled to worka't starvation prices. After an extended debate upon the ques tion of organizing separate assemblies of team owners and expressmen It was decided to organl/o ono assembly comprising all team owners who work their teams for a living. C. W. Miller , the state organizer of the Knights of Labor , was present and explained the methods of operation of the order in order that then ) might bo no misunderstanding. Ho assured all present that by going into this oiilcr they would gain many friends. lie would not say how many members there were in the city , but the order was much stronger than was generally supposed. After deciding that a meeting would beheld held at the same place on Wednesday evenIng - Ing for the purpose of Instituting the now assembly , a recess was taken to allow all who wished to do so to sign their names as charter members. Soliciting Aid Tor Idaho Farmer * . Hon. W. V. Perkins of Caiuas Prairie is In the city soliciting aid for the farmers of the central portion of Idaho , where the crops were destroyed during the past two seasons by grasshoppers. Mr. Perkins does not able for money , but wants seed grain and garden seed to bo sent to the board of trade at Halley. Idaho. Ho wants a car load of oats ami n car load of potatoes , besides JOtl pounds eue.li of sorghum , sweet corn , gar den peas and onion sets , fifty iwunds of tur nips and twenty-live pounds each of carrots , beets and beans.

How the Sheriff Made His Deputy IiniiKh at n Hanging. The train was duo nt Springfield about 4:30 : o'clock. Those who \Voro to got out there wore collecting their baggage , says the Boston Globe. The bustle woke up the fat-faced passenger , who turned over and began to talk to his companion as follows : "As I was a-saylng , I gave up the job after Bill died sounoxpcctcdlv. Ikctho sheriff , I his deputy , and Bill , the poor lad who was going to bo hanged foe shooting u United States marshal , wore boys together. Naturally wo wanted him to go as easy and happy as possible. Wo fed him from our own table , and used to send clear over to the Corners to got him whisky and tobacco. No prisoner over got treated better than he. "But somehow lie didn't want to die. So , about a week after ho was going to bo hanged , ho asked mo to rig a knife era a scythe or something sharp over the cross-bar of the gallows , 50 that when ho dropped his weight would cut the rope and ho would fall to the ground. I told him it would bo a big fall , aud he would be ant to got his legs broken , but he didn t seem to care so long as ho wasn't killed , and ho argued so warm about it that I consented. "I had the fixing of the rope and all that. Two nights before the execution I fixed a sharp bush scythe into a big block , edge up , and took it up with cross bar , and brought the bight of the halter right down across the edges. When I told Bjll of it ho was tickled enough , lie said the fall would hurt him so that nobody would try to hang him againund ho would get out in a year or two. "Friday forenoon Ike and I led him from the jail to the gallows. There was a big crowd I can tell you. Bill whis pered to mo that it was the bebt joke ho over heard of , and asked mo if I had pad ded his knees and logs so that ho would not be hurt too bad by the fall of forty feet to the ground. 1 told him he could do it like a parachute. "lie heard the warrant read , spoke his little piece in good style and then \vo put on the black cap and noose , and I led him unuor the cross-bar. I looked at Ike. lie snapped his linger. I cut the line holding the trail and looked down expecting to see BH1 drop clear to the ground. Among tlio crowd. But ho did not. lie fell about ten feet , the rope brought up with a snap. "And it held him right there until he was dead. 'SThat dirty Ike of a shorilT had dropped to our little game and taken the scythe out the night before. "But it was a terrible good , joke on poor Bill. Don't you think so ? " "Springfield ! " yelled the brakeman , and the conversation was dropped. Hearts are X'ruinps. The queen of hearts is monarch of all she surveys and the jewelry shops have all their designers busy bringing out now ideas in hearts , says a Philadelphia Times Now York special. The most ex pensive have either an opal , a moon stone , a sapphire Or a turquoise iji the center , with a framing of diamonds ; but the one in most general u&o is of gold or silver with a little inscription on it. A very line gold chain suspends the heart about the neck. It is supposed to bo very lucky to keep it on all tlio time. On the tiny gold ones sqmo very amusing inscriptions are done in line letters. Ono that I saw the other day had on it , "To n good girl. " The jeweler said : "When that order was given mo I knew exactly who it was for. It was for a woman to give another woman , and she is the only ono in New York that I believe would got such a complimentary inscription and deserve it. Good ? Yes. I will toll you how she is good. She never interferes - fores with her friend's love affairs ; she never makes trouble by repeating disa greeable things , nnd she is quick to toll the agreeable ones. She doesn't ask questions , nnd she thinks woman to woman should bo as honest and honor able as man to man. That's the reason I know the little heart was meant for her. " BETTER THAN GOLD.
