Grout Celebration.
Tie early days of September In this vicin

storm and of disappointment.
They lave feriously affected the holding of
fairs , the gathering of largo representative
bodies and have even repressed the enthusi
asm of the laborer , wlio has selected one of
then upon vtldch publicly to testify to tlio
deference ho pays his calling.
Ono jcMr ago , the lirst Labor day
, . .celebrated In Omaha , was attended
. ? /jvitli / lowering clouds , drizzling rain
and chilling blasts. It was a day upon which
only an enthusiast could bo expected to take
nu Interest In a parade , and , as a consequence
quence , the celebration was far from attain
ing the Imposing proportions which had been
anticipated.
"Yesterday , however , no dlscouraging clouds
hung in the heavens. No nutumnal rain
kejit women nt Lome. No piercing blaMs
swept llerceljby. . All was bright anil warm
and the observance of Labor day was a inojt
pronounced success.
The heart of Omaha lias witnessed the
assembling of some rcimrkuule parades.
Her stivets have resounded to the tread of
civic bodies and marthl hosts , while the air
has been filled with the inspiring strains of
many binds and the streets bocn lined with
thousand * of interested sjiMtators. But on
no occasion has she witnessed the imposing
assemblage antt marching of the masses
which characterized yesterday's display. Into
the heart of the city , from an hundred high
ways , llocied union man , spectator ,
musician and guardian of both prop
erty und life , until the streets had
bca > me ono dense mass of humanity , which
of Itself was a tribute to labor that could but
aarm the coldest heart

which has brought on the trouble.
Many men and women of pure minas ,
who have never parted from the paths
of virtue , have unconsciously contracted
diseases which , sooner or Inter , will sap
the springs of life or lay the foundation
for a miserable old ape , unless chocked
and cured. Having had a largo cxncri-
enco in this class of diseases , wo can , in
all sincerity , assure the afflicted that
under our method of treatment rapid
cures are effected in the worst conceiv
able cases in a short time and at a rea
sonable expense. Remember that the
only danger conies from neglect or at
tempting to euro yourself by using pre
scriptions that have proved successful
in curincr your friends. Do not there
fore waste time and complicate the dif
ficulty , nor let false modesty dotcr you
from at once applyj - to us , cither in
person or by loiter. Strict
will bo observed-and , exposure
never come at our handa.

Senator VanlVjck's Address.
All nations have bad sacred holidays for
recreation , amusement , advancement nnd
profit , to renew the drooping energies , restore
waste nerve and muscle , forsocial intercourse ,
cultivating affettions in the dome circle , ce
menting the fellowship of man nnd clamping
In stronger hands the fatherhand of God ,
gathering up the best elements of hutnanitv
in efforts to increased prosperity on earth
by union of thought and union of effort.
All pursuits in life except those connected
with manual labor involve the daily exercise
of mind in continual delit > erations as to the
mode of securing their shares generally the
shares of others in the great beneilts of the
earth and government.
The intellects engaged In banking , merchan
dising , railroading und kindred occupations
aiij always active to plan , devise and execute
methods which will multiply tlio dollars , oven
at the expense of other interests.
In this ago the highest education , refined
cultured aud aesthetic religion inculcate the
dogma that business is business , DO matter
bow oppressive , unjust , or even dishonest ,
provided always that it is shrewd enough to
avoid the intricacies of the law or has power
and Influence enough to defy it.
But those in workshops and on farms have
daily routine for toiling hands , their occupa
tion Involving the mere outlay of brawn with
exercise of thought sutHcicnt to do well the
work in hand , whether In wooi or iron , or
working nnd watching machinery , cultivat
ing the land to raise abundant crops , anxiety
about the eaily ana later rains , ever studying
the clouds , with little concern about finances
or revenues , even of protection of the favored
few at the expense of the tolling millions ,
The only opportunity to consult beyond
earning daily bread by dally toll , whereby
THE KIOI1TS Or LJLBOlt
nnd its Just compensation can bo secured , Is
at the \veckly meeting or alliance , and ono
day during the year , llko this day , for social
communing or the graver subjectr what
shall bo done to bring labor and capital into a
more perfect and pcuerous union , whereby
the claims of the former may bo recognized
in the acknowledgmet not only that the
laborer is worthy the biro , but that the hira
should bo in proportion to the part contrib
uted in securing the weattb or iain.
Six thousand years show that the con
cessions inado by power to the demands of
freedom , or capital to the interests of labor ,
bavo been yielded slowly , grudgingly , with
long Interval of > cars.
The natural wickedness of mankind is but
little modified by form of government , educa
tion , religion or lapse of cges.
The rights of liberty and labor have ad
vanced slowly from the time the patriarchs
had their ( locks tended in Palestine nnd
Christ gathered his apo.stles from tbo carpen
ters and fishermen of Galilee.

thought and brain of that bo isted intelligence.
called man has neither established facts or
settled theories upon the one matter nt the
bottom aud the basis of all business , for
which men of all centuiles , all ages , have
struggled.
And even today the people cannot have a
needful amount of circulating medium unless
coupled with the condition of adding millions
to the i\onlthof those who own the sliver
product , yet this situation was intended by
these controlling , at first desiring thcro
should bo no increase of the currency because
agalast tholr interest , they determined that
tbo multitude should have no relief except a
greater benefit to the favored few.
In this connection may bo pardoned a state
ment and inquiry , you will rouiemljer the
laborers in the smelting works of this city
have been begging an increase of wngss. Of
all labor theirs is probably the most exacting.
Twelve hours daily , and in that degree of
heat and noxious fuuiej as to necessarily sap
the vitality and energy of life , jet the em
ployers said the profits would not justify any
advance wait until silver was moro Valu
able. Uy mere operation of this law without
a dollar expense to the owners , with the
silver then on hand § 100,000 was added. A
mere gift by congress to them.
and many 5100,000 will bo added
andthusgreatfortui.es bestowed upon capi
tal invested in the works hero. Now the
the pertinent question Is , have wages been
advanced. No need to wait further , wealth
has been poured into tlieir laps with less ef
fort than Aladdin secured by hisrnaj ; > 3 lamp.
Capital professes willintfncss to divide with
employes.rlho n-Jue owners , civat manufac
turers of metal and moro delicate fabrics
made millions by the criminal stupidity or
criminal generosity of the people by laws
they are supposed In theory to make , always
professing great icgard to protect American
labor , giving assurance that an increase of
profit will bo followed by an increase of
wages , do not bestow in that direction with
the same intelligence and zeal they receive it
A syndicate Is owner of alleged
rilOIICCTIVE TIN MINES
in Dakota , and statesmen in congress make
the welkin ring for nn increase on the
already high tariff rates on tin , on the pre
tense of protecting labor , when every ono
of ordinary intelligence- knows that the
only result will bo to make millionaires of the
syndicate , vihlch will soon dominate their
employes as they do congress.
With the absorption of wealth and the con
centration of power in the hands of the few
wo are still boasting that the result of our
civilization nnd freedom has been not only
the enlargement of liberty hut the general
diffusion of wealth and the enjoyment wealth
produces , when directly opposite has been
the result.
By the formation of syndicates , trusts and
corporations the people nnd the courts are
defied , while legislatures and congress only
record their demands.
Muny now awake as did Hip Van \Vlnkle ,
from a long slumber , and express surprise ,
but this condition did not come during a
night nor after ono slumber , but gradually
from small lieginnings and in the broad day
light , with the knowledge , approbation and
too often active assistance of the people who-
have been cajoled by politicians , then plun
dered by the rings that control , nnd now at
once they see n vision revealing the width
