IF OMAHA becomes a non-union city it will bo the direct lopical result of the dastardly outrage upon inoffonding citi zens by striking union printers.

TJIOSK cowardly bullies who assailed two young men on the streets and brutally beat them into Insensibility should bo lodirnd in the nonitontiarv without delay and the typographical union owes it to common decency to assist in the prosecution. JUST as soon as honest workingmen discard the hypocrites who are pretend ing to bo their friends and advising them to make consummate fools of themselves for the bonollt of those hypo crites , just so soon can wo begin to look for a settlement of the labor troubles. IIONKST workingmen anxious to earn honest wages must spew out the Quiuns , Urowstors , Kolsoys , Bacons and others of their ilk , because no decent laboring moil's organizations can assimilate with them. They tire consdoneoloss agita tors and are trying to load this eight hour movement for personal advantage solely. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ GOVKUNOK FI.ICMINO of Florida re fuses to issue a certificate of election to Senator Call. There are three reasons for this action : Governor Fleming would like to appoint a senator ; at the time of the senators ru-olootlon there was no quorum of the state senate present ; Sen ator Call ought not to bo ro-olcoted because - cause ho is very poor senatorial timber oven for Florida. UNTH. the labor organizations of Omaha got rid of the brainless idiots and gabbling agitators who have led the working men in the present contro versy , they cannot hope for cordial sym- pathv among decent people. The or ganizations will fall to pieces under conseiuucelivss , hypocritical , absurd and contemptible leadership and will deserve - serve sui'h a fate. GuvC.

The unfortunate ovontf of the woolc past have grievously alTccted the pres ent and future pros | > orlty of Omaha. The tUU'mpt by strikes to put Into im mediate effect the new eight hour law owing to IndlscrotiotH on the p-irt of the workingmen and the Inability of em ployers to moot the somewhat unreason able demands of the solf-constitutod labor loaders , have brought business to n standstill and resulted in great loss to largo industries directly and to thn bus iness community generally. Looking back over the past seven days wo can all BOO that errors have boon , committed whli'h In the light of subsequent reflec tion ought to have boon and might have beun avoided. It is now too Into to gain anything by criminations and recrimi nations. Wo are brought face to face with a crisis and it is time reasonable mun in all ranks of society devoted tholr thought and attention to the important duty of extricating all parties from the costly embarrassments of the present situation. Tlio Omaha and Grant smelting and re fining company is an institution in- which every citizen of Omaha not only takes pride but in which every man in Omaha has a pecuniary interest. It has grown in our midst against unfavorable conditions from small beginnings to ono of the largest institutions of its char acter in the world. It is largely owned and entirely operated by Omaha capital ists. It employs from six hundred to seven hundred men and pays out in wages to workingmen in Omaha to bo expended in this city the handsome sum of from thirty-six thousand dollars to lifty thousand dollars per month. The 050 men omnloyod represent a popula tion of over throe thousand. They sup port another 2,000 by tholr wages. Sev eral other institutions in the city work ing with the smelting works , employ perhaps half as many moro men and support a corresponding population. Aside from the railroad headquarters and shops there is no ether ono business enterprise of half their importance. Those works are idle. The fires are drawn and the smoke of industry no longer floats over the city. Not only do the mon , women and children directly affected feel the evils of tholr mtuation , but the whole city is nnprohonsivo and business is practically at a stand still. The enforced idleness hero is disastrous and the prospect of an early resumption of work is not at this moment encourag ing , ftralnloss blatherskites , blatant demagogues and professional agitators are offering the suffering families of the idle workingmen noth ing in return for work or wages but in cendiary speeches. The self-constituted leaders , with a single exception , are not employes of the great institution on the bottoms. They are men of no occupation whatever , for the most part. They have absolutely nothing to lese by ( cooping up the agitation and misleading the mon who have blindly followed their advice to their own detriment and to the detriment of every interest in Omaha. They pro pose no reasonable concessions. They simply harangue the rank and file and by iniluoncos too well known to merit discussion hero , encourage them to stand out against their own wolf tire upon the doubtful argument that the law will force a conclusion in their favor. The pitiont public on the outside , notwithstanding the great interests it has at stake , has thus far withhold com ment and refrained from interference or intercession. The tune has oomo , how- over , .vhon the public interest demands that there shall bo no more foolishness ; when the sophistries of hypocrites bhall cease to prevent reasonable creatures from settling a difficulty to which anarchists , socialists , walking delegates , professional agitators and time-serving politicians nro not properly parties. The Isaac S. Ilascalls , tile John Quinns , the George Browstors and the Krcshmyors , Kolsoys and Klnnoys have already accomplished moro damage than they will over bo able to repair. Honest people - plo who earn tholr living in legitimate occupations have had enough of empty declamation and absurdly useless dis cussion. The citi'/.ens of Omaha want a settlement of the controversies. They desire the smelting works reopened and the misiruidod men who have followed these rampant hypocrites and lazy loaf ers under the impression that they hold the key to bettor wages and easier work and could lead them to a victory which should benefit laboring mon generally , buck in their places at work. Tlio workingmen ingmon themselves perceive tholr error and ttioy too are about ready to cast the Jonahs of their movement overboard. AsTiii ; I3i3G hns already suggested , an eight-hour day in Omaha Is imprac ticable at this time. Mon cannot be paid for eight hours in this city at the same rate pot * day as these of Council Bluffs , who work ton hours. An eight hour day under such circumstances cannot mean more than eight hours pay on a ton hour schedule. An eight hour day is right in the abstract if expedient and practicable. It is to bo hoped the time is coming when no nnn in America need work longer to earn a living. This can only bo Drought about , however , by na tional action. In a time of depression like the present , with tlio terms of the law open to moro than ono construction , and its constitutionality in doubt , it is simply suicidal on the part of workingmen - men to attempt a literal enforcement. Until it has passed the test of the courts they should bo willing to accept the law as a declaration of sentiment rather than a peremptory rule of conduct. It should ho taken Into the courts without delay and its exact effect determined , and then time should be allowed the business interests of the community to adjust themselves to the changed con ditions its ultimate literal enforcement involves. Pending such action by the courts , contrauts for work by the hour , week or month are a necessary protection to em ployers and no hardship to employes. The United States supreme court has uphold similar contracts in the dopnrt- munts of the government notwithstand ing the nxistonca of an eight hour stat ute. The contracts are not In fact nor Impliedly In violation of either tlio spirit or letter of the eight hour law. Tlio smelting works mon , with a few ex ceptions , signed agreements for wages by the hour , They were not inclined to complain at tholr remuneration. There was no purpose or disposition on the part of the managers to reduce tholr pay. The mon were glad to bo employed upon former conditions adapted to the letter of the noxv law. It was the otttsido agitators , who had nothing to lese , who incited the men to abandon the works and who by force compelled thorn to kill the furnaces and damage that great property many hundreds of dollars. It Is the same out siders who have kept up the agitation nnd pro von ted a prompt settlement of the difficulty. They are the cause of all this trouble. Their reputations among business mon are well known and they have no stand ing In the community , but before the late employes of the smelting works they have posed as benefactors and have sought to advance tholr own selffsh pur poses and gain notoriety by using mon Ignorant of the laws and language of tlio country. Tlioro is no statute unuor which they c.xn bo convicted and pun ished , but they are morally rioters and thieves. They have stolen the wages of these mon and deprived their families of proper support. They have injured the property of citi zens who never did them harm. They have purposely , maliciously , almost feloniously attacked the credit and inter ests of this great city , and have nothing to show for their pretended valor in the cause of the weak but blighted homos , sobbing children , sad eyed woman , pen niless fathers , silent industries and gen eral paraly/.ation of business throughout Omaha. It is high time such individ uals were avoided by honest workingmen mon and ostracized by citizens who have the real good of the city at heart. If they were deposed from tlio leadership of the strikes and tl oasonablo gentle men in the ranks whose hands and faces provo tholr right to the title of laborots were bro.tght to tlio front , citizens of acknowledged character aim ability , would stop into the broach and end the controversy between the smelting works and their men in a very few days and wo could hope to see the llros relighted within a brief period. It is to bo hoped the rank and file of the workingmen in this city appreciate this truth a id have the stamina and good sense to remove the only serious obstacle to an early amicable and just settlement of differ ences by discarding tlieso hypocritical loaders. ffKHKASKA. Nebraska will bo well advertised this year through her splendid crops. These will bo tno largest in her history , and if all signs do not fail the great staple of the state , corn , will bo of bettor quality than over boforo. The claim that Ne braska is unsurpassed as an agricultural state will find most convincing confirma tion in this year's harvests , and the fact will not fail to bo known far and wide. The corn of this state will find its way to every market where there is a de mand for corn , and wherever it goes this king of the cereals will bear wit ness to tlio superior soil and climate of Nebraska. But it is desirable that no opportunity bo lost to make known to the world the resources and advantages of Nebraska , and the advertising which the state will got this year from its bountiful crops may very properly bo supplemented by some extraordinary effort to attract at tention to its agricultural superiority. A suggestion for this purpose is to send a special train filled with the products of Nebraska on a tour through the oast. Tlio plan is practicable , and if it could bo carried out on an adequate scale , that is , such an exhibit made as would bo representative and attractive , it would doubtless have good results. The only thing in the way of the success of such an enterprise is the possible difficulty of securing the necessary funds , it being estimated Unit from $15,000 to $20,000 would bo required , but on the plan proposed by the State Business Men's association there ought not to bo very much trouble in raising such an amount. These who estimate tlio merit of every undertaking with reference to possible immediate results may not think favorably of this project , but no effort that could bo made to at tract attention to the resources of the state would bring desired results at once. No argument ought to bo necessary to demonstrate that some extraordinary effort should bo made in this year of great crops and an assured revival of prosperity to extend as widely as pos sible" a knowledge of Nebraska's capabili ties , and the time is at Hand for suggest ing and discussing plans for this pur poso. Tie | opportunity is exceptionally auspicious and it would bo a very great mistake to allow it to pass unimproved. Other states will not neglect to draw attention to thom.iolvcs by moans that promise the best results , nnd Nebraska cannot afford to omit doing likewise. TIIK FKKU SrllUOfj IN KNGI..IKI ) . Tlio friends of popular education everywhere , and particularly in the United States , will heartily welcome the institution of free public schools in England. This is the happy culmination of half a century of progress in popular education , and is the inevitable gutcomo of a process of evolution which English conservatism has been able to retard , but could not prevent. The first grant in aid of elementary education was made by pat 1 lament < r > ( ) years ago and amounted to only $1)0,800 ) a year , since which there has been a steady increase until , under the net passed 10 years ago and now a law , $10,000,000 annually will bo appropriated. For ! JO years develop ment wan slow , but a forward movement of great importance was maito In 1870 * by tlio passage of an act which gave the irovornment sys tematic control of public instruction. Provision was made for unsectarian' schools and attendance was undo com pulsory for all children between five and lit years of ago , whllo every parish was compelled to provide suf- ilcient accommodations for Its children. For 20 years this law remained practi cally intact. Under the now act , which abolishes the fee system , the English school becomes free , and as it was nl- ready in many cacos unsoctarlan , It must now noon become entirely so. Par liament makes a foe grant under the now law of $2.50 annually for ouch child in attendance at the schools , and the total IB moro likely to ex ceed than fitttrbolow the estimate of $10,000,000. ' result IB the extension of free education throughout Great Britain. The bonollts of this advance will bo wide dmrchlngnnd Its Importance cannot well bo ovoro'tttnnto'J. It takes a considerable xpoiiHO connected with education frotn the shoulders of the people nnd puts It on the back of the state. It will enable thousands of poor children to secure an education who could not otluwwtso do BO , ana it will tend moro and moro to narrow the gulf between the children of the poor and the rich. It will provo to bo a most potent lover for elevating the lower classes , and it cannot fall to exert a tremendous Inlluonco In behalf of dem ocratic institutions. From all points of view this educational advance in Eng land Is of the greatest slgnlllcauco , and there is every reason to expect from it radical political changes within the next generation. CO.O''KKTIVK VltOOKKOXKSS. TUB Bun has received a long com munication from Mr. J. A. Dudgeon of Arapnhoo , Nob. , in regard to the con clusions of tho'state banking boardln the case of the National Mutual Build ing and Loan association of Now York. These conclusions were clearly sot forth In the letter of Examiner Garbor , pub lished in TIIK SUNDAY UBB of the 20th ult. Mr. Dudgeon does not touch the vital questions raised by the state board. Ho ienoros them and resorts to abuse and insinuations to such an extent that the publication of the letter would bo a grave injustice to state officials. The state banking board , in passing upon the application of the Now York concern for a certificate to do business in the state , uid not question the solvency of the association. The refusal to grant a certificate was based on the objectionable - able features of the articles of the asso ciation in respect to withdrawals , fines and forfeitures , repayment of loans before fore maturity and tlio voracious "ox- ponso fund. " The conclusions of the board are fortified by an array of facts that must convince all disinterested people ple of its impregnable position. What is true of the Now York asso ciation applies with equal force to scores of so-called national associations. They are totally wanting in tno vital princi ple of co-operation mutuality of in terest. They scour the country for business , employ agents who receive their pay direct from stock subscribers , and having pocketed their " $1 a share , " are indifferent whether or not their promises are fulfilled. Indeed , it is a common practice for the head office to disclaim responsibility for promises made by agents. Thousands have boon inveigled into these wildcat concerns by false representations. In most cases the expectation of securing loans prompt investment , but tlio number of loans granted Is insignificant. Bor rowers are put oil under various pretexts - texts , and becoming weary of delay , stop payments , and loose the amounts already paid in. An occasional small loan made is merely n blind. The bulk of the money goes into the speculative ventures of the officers. Oije pf the nationals in Minneapolis a ye.ii1 ago loaned a lump sum of $200,000 to a local insurance company on insufficient security , be cause the officers of the former were in terested in the latter. A St. Paul concern - corn was forced last spring to levy assessments of 33 per cent to prevent bankruptcy tjirough reckless mismanagement. Durinsr the past week the officers of a Chicago "national" acquired property valued at $300,000 by a species of financial Napo- loonism at the expense of the country gudgeons. Examples of "national" recklessness are innumerable , all bearing on their face the stamp of robbery , fraud and dishonesty. It was to chock and eradi cate this evil and protect the people of the state that the legislature enacted the present law. Heretofore foreign as sociations were beyond the roach of law. Now that they are pinned down to square dealings , there is "a wailing and a gnashing of teeth. " It is to bo hoped the state board will pursue the course mapped out by the law , regardless of consequences. The board should buar in mind that the vast majority of investors in building and loan associations are wage earners , me chanics , clerks and farmers , and all those whoso earnings are small and who are honestly striving to bocuro homes of their own. Tlio loss of their savings is attended with hardship , suffering and want , nnd the state officials cannot do them a better service than by rigidly excluding from the state all associations that violate the true principle of co operation , bo they local or national. THE deep water harbor which a few years hence will bo a fact at Galveston , Tex. , must bo reached by a direct line from Omaha. The Union Pacific and the Missouri Pacific railways , owing to their present relations with Texas rail way traffic , will open the way for Omaha to roach the gull , The present Union Pacific connection . via Denver is not available. The ' 'Manhattan , Kan. , branch can bo ; , extended through central Kansas n and Oklahoma to Fort Worthy | ; Tox. , and thus a through route 'may bo established. The traffic of such n line , both local and through , would b immense , and the line is ono of the probabilities in the way of railroad i'building within the next live years. JjJ o Missouri Pacific ' now roaches Fo'i-tiiWorth via Kansas City and the Missouri , Kansas & Texas railway. Wlthtyild at the helm of the Union PaoijUx [ ' the Denver , Fort Worth & Gulf road ] can bo utilized by both the Gould \t\\w \ \ \ , but the Manhattan extension will bo the direct route from Omaha. , BILL MouitisoNis right in the statement that the statesmen of the country are devoting the heated term to a discussion of possible presi dential candidates. It is a harmless sort of recreation and in bomo instances is particularly cool conduct. Ex-SKNA'iOK INU.U.I.S , In a public speech , pronounced prohibition in Kan- Baa a failure and himself a prohibitionist in the same bontonco. This was another way of calling himself a statesman out of a job. His remark that ho uovor takes a drink except when ho wants it will live as long nnd plnguo htm us much In Kansas as that other bon mot , ' 'Tho decalogue has no place In pol itics. " Some time In the future the lr- rldc3cont gentleman will attempt to mollify the rank prohibitionists of the Sunllowor state and soften the effect of this extemporaneous utterance. THB alcohol habit Is recognized us iv disease which will power nlono Is not competent to overcome in a great many Instances. The confirmed Inebriate is as much an object of pity as the paraly tlo or consumptive , and efforts to reclaim drunkards and restore victims of alco hol to health deserve the support of the community , Recognizing habitual drunkenness as a manifestation of disease , Institutions fcr the euro of inobriacy have sprung into ex istence nil over the world. Re cently ono has boon established at Blair in this slato. It is a melancholy fact that inebriate asylums have not been successful. They have effected temporary cures and In many instances have restored victims to tholr families , who have never afterward fallen Into the gutter , but have failed in by far the greater number of eases treated. The Blah-institution has adopted the Dwight euro and names itself the Koeloy insti tute. Investigations made by Chicago newspapers and examples of. cures which are beyond controversy , provo the effectiveness of Dr. Kooloy's romody. The Chicago Tribune urges the city to turn its Wnshingtonlan homo for inebri ates over to Dr. Keoloy with an appro priation for its support and pronounces the remedy discovered by him a specific. TIIK Bun knowing of instances whore the poison has been eradicated and the victims have been entirely cured by this system , does not hesitate to speak in behalf - half of the institute and the medicine with the hope that some of its readers who have hitherto despaired of escaping the rum habit may bo restored to health. TIIK bricklayers and their employers have taken the sensible way out of the difficulty. They have entered into a written agreement to abide by the de cision of Judge Wakoloy upon their dif ferences.
