Well , if this here's one of
them new fangled , fold beds
and book cases , combined , as
my dear Sally sez it be , I'll be
gosh darned if I don't think I'll
have to be born agin afore I'll
fit into it.
She bought it of the Nebras
ka Furniture Co. for $ , and
she sez it air the cutest , neat
est , and most comfortable
foldin' bed she ever did see.
I'll allow it looks mighty peerty
and shiny , but folks is gettin'
to have queer ideas of comfort
now days , and how on earth I
a'm going to sleep in this 'ere
pesky thing I dunno. I guess
I'll hev to go down to the Ne
braska Furniture Co. and find
out if they haven't got something -
thing more in my line in , their
large and elegant stock , or I'll
have a creek in my back if I
stay any longer in this pesky
foldin' bed.
We furnish houses and homes
at spot cash prices. If parties
desire credit , we add 5 per cent
for the occommodation. This
is fair and just to each. We
have everything you want , and
it is a pleasure to show goods.

World in all itH Aspects Both
ut Homo anel in Other
Placet ) .
OMuit , May 27. In ono of your Into pro
ductions I Uriel the following expression :
"In the party of the future the man who tills
the soil will own it , and not the man who
deals In mortgages.
How do you propose to bring about such n
{ rand desideratum ? Have you a plan ? If so ,
give it lo us. If you have no plan permit mete
to offer ouo for your calm consideration nnd
deliberate reflection. I think I have developed
n scheme by which all the poor and needy of
this nation may become freeholders having
Rood comfoi table homes of their own with
land enough to make a good living ; nnd to
accomplish this nothing shall bo confiscated
neither shall any ono bo taxed nor asked to
contribute ono cent.
Moreover the inauguration of the scheme ,
will give employment to all seeking It , force
millions of money into circulation , raise the
pi ice of labor and all kinds of produce and
enable the pecplo to get out of debt dovclopo the
resources of the country mid add billions to
its taxable property. That you shall have
the whole plan before ) you in n nutshell , I
shall formulate It in a few short whereascs
and resolutions :
Whereas , All men nro created with eepjal
I'lghts and have , by virtue of their existence )
in this world , an Inalienable right to all the
land that Is needful for a good living and no
moro ; and ,
Whereas , Governments nro ordained to so-
euro to men their inalienable rights ; and.
Whereas , Agriculture Is the base of all
other industries the foundation of individual ,
state and national prosperity , security and
happiness :
Hesolved , That the government of the
United States proceed to furnish Improved
homes for all her elttions who desire them
and wish to live by cultivating the boil. To
this end she can Improve ) all her public lands
that are lit for farming and parcel them out
In homesteads of suitable size. She can also
purelmso lands of parties who have them
forsulo and make homes for her citizens
who dcsiro them and need them.
Under the right of eminent domain ,
bho can , when It becomes necessary ,
seize upon lands and thus use them by com
pensating the owners ,
He-solved , To carry out the foregoing reso
lution the government shall Issue an rulcquuto
amount of legal lender paper currency which
shall bo refunded lo her by homesteaders on
these lands , who shall bo required to rotund
at least 1 per cent per annum on the cost of
their homesteads , until the government Is re
imbursed for lilting up the same. A failure
to pay the annual Installment duo the govern
ment shall work n forfeiture of the home
steader's claim , but shall not dollar him from
taking one elsewhere when all dues on the
forfeited clelm arc paid up.
Hesolvcd , That thcso homesteads shall bo
transferable1 , but no person shall bo permit
ted to own moro than 100 acres of thcso lands
ut any one time of life.
There you have the scheme outlined. I
hold that the man who has no homo nor the
means to purchase ono Is , from neces
sity , forced to work for what
others see tit to glvo , beg , steal or starve.
The right to live carries with it the right of
means to support life hind is Indispensable

erty and consequent i-rlmo and wretchedness

tear up homes during the war , she can now
issue millions ol "flat'1 money to employ men
to build up homes for those who need them.
If there was a necessity then there is also a
necessity now , for no government is safe
when a majority of its citi/ens have no prop
erly interest in its perpetuity. The homes of
the people are the bulw.uks of the nation. If
vou like this plan advocate it ; if you do netlike
like it get up something bettor and I will ad
vocate it for you.
If it bo possible ( and I hold it is ) to help
all the poor and needy of the nation to homes
of their own and tax no ono to do it , it ought
to bo done. No man need bo sorely oppressed
by rings , monopolists or trusts if the govern
ment stands ready to furnish him a homo on
the terms herein proposed
If the alliance will adopt n measuie so full
of proffered blessing as that set fourth in the
above resolutions , millions would { lock to
their standard. It has in it somethinp that
meets the wants of human natuio the desire
for a homo. Some clear , well defined , simple
scheme that the masses can comprehend and
adapt to their sorest needs is necessary to
brim ? about a unity of action.
To those who reject this scheme I have
this question for them to answer : What do
you propose to do with that large class of
people who are dependent on others for work

their services ( JACOU BUCK.
The hotter Carriers' llequest.
The letter carriers of Omaha , as well as
those of other cities of the country where the
frees delivery system is in vogue , nro taking
decided interest in n bill which is no\v before
congress , giving them ? 100 , a year salary
after three years ot service.
The men hero believe the bill should pass ,
nnd , with this idea , have petitioned their
congressmen to not only vote for the meas
ure , but to use their influence with other
members.
Taking everything Into consideration , the
bill is regarded as a good one , bccauso it is
held that a letter carrier has as responsible u
position to till as many men who rcccivo
double the amount of salary paid these men
who put in three handred and sixty-live days
each j car working for the government.
Then there is another measure affecting the
e-nrrier , which the late Senator Co.x had in
his mind and Intended to present to congress
and push pensioning of curriers after thirty
years of service. As it Is now , a , man may
carry the mall thirty years , walking twenty
miles each day and handling letters with the
most scrupulous care and honesty ; but , when
sickness or old ago comes on , as It will In
time , ho must go to the nlnishouso or the
hospital , unless ho has been fortunate enough
to have saved something from his pittance of
$1,000 n year , which it is next to Impossible )
for him to do if ho has a famlny dependant
upon him for support.
Millions upon millions pass through the
hands of these faithful , but poorly paid
servants each year nnel the least congress can
do It is urged is to give them some incentive )
to their toil nnel rowiml to their honesty.
Few people realize , they claim , wh'at the
life of n letter-carrier is , and as
the latter pass the door day after day , dressed
in their neat groy suits , ono is led to believe
that such a life is one of cose. But such Is
far from the case.
The carrier rises at 5 o'clock , cats his
breakfast nt 0 nnd , an hour later , Is in the
stone building at the corner of Fifteenth and
Dodge streets , busily engaged in sorting let
ters and papers that go to residents along his
route.
This work performed , with n pack , weighIng -
Ing at least twenty-live pounds , ho starts out ,
going along muddy streets , up dark and nar
row stairways , down into basements and out
of the way places , until the delivery Is made.
But this elocs not conclude his work. Ex-
cent In the heart of the city , the carrier must
tnko up the mall along his route , so that ,
by the tlmo ho Is rcaily to start
on his return trip , his load Is
cejually as prcat as when ho left the postoftlco
In the morning.
Alter reaching the oftlee , It Is a repetition
of the same story , as the mail for the next
trip must bo worked In ardor to have every
thing in shape for the delivery which conies
n few hours later.
This continues until 7 o'clock in the even
ing , when the letter currier returns to his
homo , tired and exhausted. This must bo
repeated the next day and the next and until
sickness or old ago cause him to bo placed

Clerk * and Knrly Closing.
Just what will result from the stand taken
by the clerks to biing about the early closing
of the stoics in the city is something diflieult
to predict.
Thc-o gentlemen have burned the bridges
behind them and there is no retracing the
stops they have taken.
The meeting held last Wednesday night , at
which they organized under the Knights of La
bor assembly.placcs them in a position where
they will have the support of the unite 1 labor
element of tlio city when the limo arrives for
making their demand for shoiter hours.
The list of charter members now contains
the names of nearly two hundred men who
earn their daily bread by selling goods over
the counters of the Omaha stores. But the
work Is not to stop hero. The members of
the Central Labor union and the Knights of
Labor , reali/iug the work that is to bo accom
plished , have carried the war homo to the
merchants and not only propose to organi/o
tlio mule clerks , but also the female wage-
earners into a union , looking to the improve
ment of their condition.
Interest in tlio Assemblies.
A few days ago an Omaha Knight of Labor
addressed a personal letter to Grand Master
Workman T. V. Powdorly , asking the ques
tion , "How can wo make our assembly meet
ings more interesting. "
Yesterday , the gentleman received an
answer which is of unusual interest , not only
lo the Knights , but to all other societies. The
rcplv is as follows : "A great deal more nt-
lenllon ought to bo given to make the assem
bly meetings of our order intcie'sting and in
structive. Much has boon said from time lo
lime by writers and speakers as to the duty
incumbent on nil true Knights of Labor of
regular atlcndanco on meetings. But It Is
difficult to blame men for irregularity in at
tendance when night after night thoio Is
nothing hut outline business or weari
some and profitless discussions over
trivial details or points of order. Only
the most thoroughgoing enthusiasts will
under such circumstances fcol like turning
out in bad weather or leaving u pleasant so
cial gathering to go to the assembly , it ought
to bo a pleasure as well as a duty to attend
meetings of labor bodies , ami especially tlioso
of our order. These gatherings should bo
made attractive , so that those who , in many
cases , have to make considerable sacrifices to
attend may feel that at least they have not
wasted their tlmo. This , however , can not
bo done without giving the mailer duo
thought nnd nttentlon by loading members.
Assembly meetings ought not to bo loft to
run themselves , nnd the discussions and pro
ceedings to bo determined by Imp-hazard , as
as Is too much the case. There should bo
inoio endeavor to make , them educational
centers nnd training schools in which the
younger and less experienced members may
obtain n thorough insight into our principles
bv means of readings , addresses and debates.
Wordy discussions over routine business In
volvlng no matter of principle should bo dis
couraged , nnd the time llius frittered away
given to the consideration of how to advance
our cause and the inculcation of
sound labor-reform principles , In nearly
every assembly there nro pooel readers
and speakers , or men who might become so
with a little practice. Seek out all such
available ) talent , Encourage the young men
to speak and tnko p irt In the programme.
Don't place too much reliance on getting
leading speakers , welt known men , from n
distance. It Is always well to have peed
lectures when It can bo managed , but It In
volves some expenditure of tlmo and money
to hold largo publlo gatherings. It is bad
policy to put all your strength Into a special
effort to hold a grand publlo demonstration ,
nnd then let the enthusiasm aroused gradually
die away and the cause languish for want of
keeping up the Interest In the regular assem
bly meetings and continuing the educational
work among the newly made recruits. "
The Cftrpontcrs' Success.
Tlio Brotherhood of Carpenters nnd Joiners
lu this city is rejoicing over the result of the
eight-hour movement. Twenty-seven cities
nnd town 23,353 carpenter's have secured
the eight-hour day. Nine cities still prolong
the light and alx have compromised on uuluo
hour day.
lu seventy-two cities arid towns a nine-hour
day lias been established , with the under
standing that eight hours shall constitute a
day on Saturday. By this last concession ,
1I,1K > carpenters aro"aflcctcd. . In eighteen
pthere-ities and towns 2,2(12 ( men have secured
increased pay. Everything taken into con
sideration , the c 11 pouters think they have
won a signal victory. The signers of the
union scale in Chicago number almost 1,000 ,
with others coming in every day. Up t3 the
present time iho siriku committee of the old
association In Chie-ngo has sent to work 00
men , fully seven-tenths of whom are said to
lie from other cities. During the lust few
days thei e has been no defection of men from
the employ of the old bosses , as was expected.
Now Iho general opionion prevails that the
second Chicago strike was not deferred -it
was simply not intruded.
Ijnlon Labor Convention.
I. D. Chamberlain , of the Strornsburg
Headlight , this st.ite , and who was a mem
ber of the Parmera' alliance and Knights of
Labor convention , held at St. Louis last
December , has issued n call for n meeting
which willboheld at Lincoln on Juno'J.I , to co
operate for the marntnlnnirco of the platform
formulated by the National farmers' alliance
and Kniglits of Labor and also to put in
nomination a slate licket representing the in
dustrial interests of the st.ile. Tlio basis
of representation will bo us follows : In
counties where there is an organization of
tlio Farmernllnnco , of less than fifty voters ,
sni'h organi/atrou shall bo entitled to ono
delegate ; and when such organization has
more than fifty voters , it shall bo entitled to
ono delegate lor each fifty voters mid major
fraction. The sarno representation granted
the Farmers' alliance , shall ho granted to the
Knights of Labor , the granges , the Fanners'
and Peoples' union , Farmers mutual beneiit
association , the Carpenters union , and all
other labor organizations in Iho stile ; rep
resentation to bo by counties and each county
shall bo entitled to 'at least two elelegates.
Cifiju- Makers Strike.
The cigar makers of Now York city arc on
a strike that promises to bo an interesting

union men throw down their tools , refusing
to work until tlio restoration of the schedule
of washes is established. A meeting of all of
the unions was called for Friday , ami after
discussing the now schedule which reduces
the price of manufacturing 5 per cent , 1OJO
more of the men , including several hundred
strippers , resolved to go out last night. Un
less the old schedule is restored it is believed
there will bo a general walk cut baforo the
cud of the present week.
A Iliiit ie ) Secret tiry Koejhe.
Frank Bandle , whllo ho docs uot seek the
position , would accept an umplreship upon
the staff of the western association , nnd in
view of the fact that every ono of Secretary
liocho's appointees so far , with the exception
of Tim Hurat and Hardy Henderson , have
been the rawest kind of failures , it seems as
if the Omaha management should surely
have influence enough with Uocha to induce
htm to tender the appointment. Bnndlo is an
old ball player , ono of the upright , manly
stiipe , and a man thoroughly conversant with
every common and technical point of the
play ; Is honest and iinpirtlal , quick , but In
variably correct in his decisions , and the very
man this association is in need of. The re-
nppolntment of Blogg was a mistake Bandlo
should have had the place.
The coal miners' strike In the mines at
Cokcdalo , Mont , has , been settled and nt last ,
the miner's have returned to work. A propo
sition in writing was made by a committee
representing the Cokcdalo assembly of the
Knights of Labor and handed to the chief of
the force of detectives at the cainp of the
miners during the trouble. The proposition
was referred to ox-Governor Hauscr , who.
last Thursday , went to Cokcdalo and cttccted
n compromise at once. The terms of the
agreement were that the miller's shall receive
$1.10 for hard coal and f 1.03 for soft coal per
ton of : .Y.MO pounds , Laborers' wages around
the mines will remain as formerly , $ - ' 60 per
day. All of the old hands who commuted no
violence were given work , and but few were
excluded from the mines. The miner's agreed
to boycott two saloonkeeper * who. the com
pany claim , have bee.u the principal agitators
of the strike ,
