Thora are good reasons for hoping
that the controversy bjtwoon the smelt
ing works company and the striking em
ployes will bo adjusted today , or within
two or throe days at most A confer
ence yesterday between .Mowr.s. Hartnn
and Nuali and a committee from the
striking mon resulted in n provisional
agreement , the term.of which are found
in the news columns today.
It is possible th .t the differences still
obtaining will intorfcro with tho" Imtno-
dinto settlement of ths dllllculty , but n
point has boon gained and the first , doll-
nlto stops toward a resumption of work
have been taken.
Upon comparing notes the strikers
find that they and their late omployor.s
are not HO far apart as both had sup
posed. By mutual concessions of no
particular consequence they are able to
got near enough to see the possibility at
least of re-establishing their former ro
tations.
IXCOXSISTKXr ItKl'OllME/J.S .
The promoters of the now political
movement profess to bo opposed to class
legislation. Yet the platform of tlio poo-
plo'ri party , adopted at Cincinnati , de
mands a policy which would result In
the worst form of class legislation. It
calls for the Issue of treasury notes to bo
loaned upon non-porislrihlo products as
indicntud in the sub-treasury plan , and
also upon real estate. Tills would bo
no benefit to tlio millions of laborIng -
Ing inori who have no products and no
roul estate to offer as soiwlty for a loan.
Tlio carpenter , the" bricklayer and the
wngo worker of every class , having no
resource but their daily labor , could not
go to the national treasury and obtain
notes at a low rate of interest , but/ under
the policy proposed by the people's
party they would bo compelled to receive -
coivo this currency , regardless of Its
depreciation and loss of purchas
ing power. They would doubtless de
mand a greater ntimbor of the nominal
dollars for a day's work than they now
receive of good dollars , but It is hardly
possible that the increase of their wages
would keep pace with the steady depre
ciation of the money in which they
would bo paid for their labor. Thus
there would bo tlio most direct possible
discrimination on the part of the gov
ernment against by far the largest pro
portion of its citi/.ens , and the
longer the w discrimination lasted
the more severe would bo the
hardship to such eiti/.ons. The proposi
tion of the so-called people's party is to
make the government the banker of tlio
property owners of the nation , who are
a small minority of the people , regard
less of the interests and welfare of the
largo majority upon whoso labor the in-
dubtrial prosperity of the country do-
ponds. Under the plan of that parly
the man who owned an aero or two of
land , or had a bale of cotton or ti few
bushels of wheat and corn , could go
to tlio public treasury and got a
loan at the lowest rate of interest , but
the mechanic , no matter how okilled in
his calling , or the professional man , no
matter now grOat his attainments , hav
ing no real estate nnd no imperishable
products such as are contemplated by
the bub-treasury plan , could got nothing
from the government and must accept
for their sarvicos the fiat paper issued
to the favored few , and which they
would not dare to keep , for fear of de
preciation , longer than would
bo necessary to get to the butcher
and baker and exchange it for meat and
bread. Could anything bo clearer than
that such a system would bo the most
absolute as well as the most dangerous
form of class privilege ? It is most difll-
cult to see how any intelligent wage
worker , dependent upon his la'ior ' alone ,
can espouse the cause of the people's
party , with the sub-treasury scheme as
the cardinal feature of its policy.
It. has been well said that there
can bo no legerdemain in legis
lation which will secure to
us money which docs not belong
to us , or which can provide the moans
to pay our debts. The government was
not ordained for any sucli purpose. It
can only give to the citizen the widest
opportunity of rnwnrd for his labor ,
energy and investment. It cannot sup
ply his losses , nor can it loan iu > taxes to
him. It cannot create money without
creating n debt chargeable upon the
people. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
MILLS COUNSELS HIS I'AttlY.
Mr. Roger Q. Mills , who is a candi
date for speaker of the next house of
representatives , has boon instructing
the democrats of Iowa as to their duty.
The Texas congressman can always bo
depended on to moot any demand of this
kind that may bo made upon him. lie
enjoys more than any other man in this
nation the privilege of Instructing and
counseling his party. This is because -
cause Mr. Mills has very great
faith in himsolf. Ho is conscious
of superior ability as an exponent of
democratic principle. * as they are today.
Ho has never for a moment doubted
that the tariff bill which ho framed In
the Fiftieth congress was by far and
away the wisest and best measure of the
kind that was over produced by the
brain of man. Ilo undoubtedly regards
himself as easily the foremost statesman
In the dom&cratlc party , nnd probably
feels that but for his location the democ
racy would now bo unanimously appeal
ing to him to load the party as its presi
dential candidate next year.
There Is difference of opinion as to
whether Mr. Mills favors absolute free
trade or simply desires tariff reform.
This is duo to the fact that the gentle-
man's statements of his position huvo
varied at different times and places. It
Is possible to find In some of his very
numerous addresses positive testimony
that ho Is a frou trader , but whenever
this charge has boon brought
to his attention ho his very ear
nestly dnhtod it and Insisted that ho
wished only ( or a reform of the tarilT.
This uncertainty regarding the real at
titude of Mr. Mills on this important
question somewhat militates agt lnst his
intluenco ns an exponent of democratic
tariff principles , but thlu does not inter
fere with his personal sense of superior
fitness to discuss this subject. It now
seems that Mr. Mills is likely to confuse
his follow partisans regarding Ids posi
tion on silver. The understanding
has boon that ho was ono of the
most earnest supporters of free
coinage In his party , and that In the
event of his elevation to the sim iKorshlp
ho would exert all his inlluonco In pro
motion of that policy. Hut now ho tolls
his party that It must put the silver
question out of present consideration
and not permit It to enter Into the
national canvass of next year. It is
Htittod from Washington that the ex
planation of this is that Mr. Mills has
reached an understanding with the
Cleveland democrats on the spo.akor-
ship , and hence It is necessary for
him to double on his silver
record and put hitiHolf In a pisltion to
chock , if possible , the savnga onset that
Isoxpoclod to 1)0 made In congress nntt
winter for free coinage. Ho is after
eastern votes and it appears ho is llkoly
to capture some of thorn. There io ovl-
donco that his atlvlco rugarding sllvnr
Is cordially received by the Cleveland
democrats in the east , who it is said
will at once undertake to educate the
party into the ncceptanca of his viow.
It is highly probable , in ftub practi
cally certain , that the counsel of Mr. Mills
regarding silver will not bo followed.
The democratic mijority in the next
house of representatives is overwhelm
ingly in favor of free and unlimited
Silver coinage , aml/it will not renounce
that policy either at the suggestion of
Mr. Mills or to please Mr Cleveland.
Tlio democracy of Ohio , Kentucky and
Iowa lias pronounced for free coinage ,
nnd will not now abandon that position.
Other southern and western
states will follow their example ,
and every democratic constituency whoo
representative in congress was elected
wjlh the understanding that ho would
support free coinage will Insist upon his
carrying out that understanding. Tlio
democratic party Is too completely com
mitted to frou coin igo to retreat from
that position , and it will not do so.

The weather service Is no longer an
experiment. It is the bellied policy of
the government to note , record and
prognosticate the conditions of the
weather in all purls of the union , through
its signal service bureau , now a branch
of the agricultural department. After
years of experience more or less success
ful in predictinjj the weather conditions
tlio government has concluded to estab
lish local forecast stations in the promi
nent cities. These stations will collect
data for local sections and announce
forecasts for their neighborhood just-as
the head otllco in Washington has
hitherto attempted to do for tlio country
at large.
Local forecast officials have boon ap
pointed fo.1 Now York- , Boston , Cincin
nati , St. Paul , Nastivillo , Cleveland ,
Galveston , Buffalo , St. Louis , Now Or
leans , Detroit , Milwaukee and Chicago.
Others will yet bo appointed , and
Omaha's importance as tlio principal
city west of the Mississippi river sug
gests the advisability of making a re
quest for a forecast nliico hero. Tno
grain mon will bo esnocially intcrostcd
in the reports which are available to
cili/.ons whore ono of those centr il ollicos
is located , and Omaha , as the center of
n large agricultural area , should not bo
overlooked by the agricultural depart
ment.
Tlio matter Is of sulliciont' importance
to suggest that the bo ml of trade take
it up and solicit the assistance of the
Nebraska senators in securing consider
ation of Omaha's claims. The present
olliciont signal service officer will cheer
fully furnish a committee of the Uoard
with all the information necessary to
intelligent action , and upon- request
would no doubt explain the workings of
this now und improved feature of the
wrather service burcnn.
1UK VOST OFFICE IIUILDING.
Our Washington correspondent has
boon shown a perspective of tlio now
post office building for this city and the
announcement is made thnt the plans
are now ready to submit to the inspec
tion of the three cabinet officers who
must approve them before they are
finally adopted. It appoarn that the
architects of the treasury department
adhere to the idea that the building is
intended primarily to embellish Six
teenth street and they have therefore
drawn their plans with that purpose.
A tower will mark the Sixteenth street
front nnd Seventeenth street will bo the
back yard of the building.
Without detailed drawings of the
building it is quite impossible to criti
cise the gono.-al plan or to suggest
changes. It is , however , proper to in
form the authorities in Washington that
the people of Omaha will not bo satisfied
with -structure which shall ignore the
future importance of Seventeenth street.
As Tin : Brno has hitherto suggested , an
ornate building in the form of a cross ,
sot In the middle of the block some forty
or more feet back from the sidewalk
lines of both Sixteenth and Seventeenth
streets with the end entrances on the
four fltrocts and parking at each corner
of the block would bo a far more satis
factory style of structure than ono which
shall sacrifice Seventeenth street for the
benefit of a parallel thoroughfare.
Postmaster General Wniwmakor
when In the city was shown the now
postofilco slto. Ho will remember per
haps the relations of the several streets
to the business of the city and will not
overlook the fact that Seventeenth
street is certain to ho an important
thorough faro. Since Mr. Wamunukor
visited Omaha Seventeenth street has
boon brought to a tralllo grade , and as
It runs between Tun Br.B and Now York
Life buildings and passes in front of the
county court house and Boyd's now
theater it is certain to become a loading
thoroughfare. II may never bo as Im
portant as Sixteenth , but it promises to
bo next in importance at least from St.
Mary's avenue northward.
Wnu.v the now postoffieo building is
completed if the present plans are adop
ted the quiet of Sunday worship in
the First Presbyterian ohuroh and
Trinity cathedral will bo at an end. A
score of mail wagons rushing in and
out over granite pavements all day Sun
day will keep u p noise enough to drown
the volco of both preacher and parish
ioner.
WIIKN the Sioux City Journal at
tempts to direct affairs in Nebraska , it
merely makes tin exhibition of Its Ignor
ance. Commenting upon the useless-
ness of the Nijliijoflka board of transpor
tation , it saislMth an air of tmpallonco ,
that It urged the legislature last winter
to create a bo mi "upon the model of ,
nnd clothed wjlhtiho same power as the
Iowa board , byt Ijho legislature noglooted
to do so. " Now the trouble with the
Journal's sugg oVtion is that undur the
Nebraska oonWfliuion no now executive
officers can ha created , and therefore it
would bo absolutely impossible to oroato
a board of railway commissioners clothed
with authority of any kind. The only
way open to tjio legislature was adopted
when three of'uVo executive officers of
the state were mutlo n board of transpor
tation and allowed tliroo secretaries to
perform the duties so imposed upon
them. The chief trouble Is not want of
authority , but want of disposition to per
form tlio duties which have boon dele
gated to the board.
CLASSIC simplicity Is to mark the
dresses of women , according to Mrs.
Parker , who is loading the latest dross
reform crusade at Chautauquii , N. Y.
The women of consequence in the east
are a good do il oxclloil over the now
departure and all doolaro It has bettor
staying quallliiij than tlio similar efforts
of Mrs. Bloomer , Dr. Mary Walker. Klla
WhcolorVilco \ , Mrs. .Fuiincss-MiHor
and Mary Seymour. The men of the weal
are on tlio tiptoe of expect ition , anxious
to see what sort of figure the homely
women will cut in the no'v-fanglod gar
ments. There isno danger to handsome
forms in those experiments. It is the
gaunt , ungainly llruro which isat n dis
advantage.
Tin : revolutions made by the commit
tee of the Heal Kstato Owners' associa
tion in connection with the diversion of
the sinking fund for the payment of the
bridge bonds , show conclusively Hint the
county government at least will boar
very close watching. Probably further
investigation will open up now mines of
information in the same line. There Is
a smoke curling upward from tlio neigh
borhood of Missouri avenue , Soutli
Omaha , which it will pay to investigate.
There is a smoldering lire in that vi
cinity.
Tin : park commissioners must not for
got that paries are intended primarily
for the benefit of the poorer classes who
have no carriages , but must either walker
or take Hti cot cars to those breathing
places. A park live miles from the center -
tor of the city is of very little consequence
quence to the WQincn and children who
reside in the eastern part of Omaha.
THIS county commissioners , are wil
fully wasting public money in per
mitting the saloons to run wide open
within the two-mile limit without
license. There are fifty of these saloons
and if each ono should pay the minimum
license foe the county treasury would
be enriched by $2.,000.
TIIC intricate ramifications of public
interest and private gain are well illus
trated in the bonds of city officials. An
inspection of thc-so insl rnmonts will re
veal the fact that contractors and men
interested in corporate franchises are
the most accommodating citixens of the
community.
THE perspective' ' of Supervising Ar
chitect Kdbrooko's building for Omaha
may be very attractive from Sixteenth
street , but a largo pirt of the people of
Omiha live on jtlio hills west of that
thoroughfare and will not bo ploo'sod by
glimpses into the back yard of the struc
ture.
SANI > , brick , plaster , drugs , lumber ,
stone , artificial stone , asphaltum , dog
tags , stationery , ' paints , oils , cornice ,
plumbing , school books , real estate nnd
cash all have -their inlluonco in the city
council and board of education.
Tins very mortar that goes into the
plaster and walls of city buildings is
mixed with tlio legislation of tlio city
council and board of education. Per
haps this explains why some of it is
worthless and rotten.
BAYIJSS park , Council Bluffs , consists
of a single square in the heart of the
city. It is resorted to by thousands

IT HAS been the opinion of Tun BIK :
from the beginning that no permanent
settlement of the labor difficulties ifi
possible until the constitutionality of
the eight hour law hns been passed upon
by the courts.
BY WHAT authority did the board of
county commissioners from time to time
divert from other purposes the sinking
fund Intended especially to moot the
bridge bonds'/
Wi : need parks and must have them ,
but a single square in the heart of the
city is far more valuable for the people
generally than a quarter section on the

The following railroad magnates were

Ironic manager of the Union Pacific.
A largo ntimbor of other parsons , mainly
attorneys and politicians , were present ,
among the latter bclug thu sinister mug of
Boss Burrows.
Mr. C. G. D.iwov n youna Lincoln at
torney , entered an earnest uppoal to the
board , asking for a reduction of the local
distance tarilT , declaring that the into'-ior
portion of the state was being discriminated
iignln.st. Ho showed considerable knowledge
of a part of his subject but ignorauco of
others. Ho IIrod a number of facts and
llguios nt the uoanl , and the railroad ropio-
scntativos present hitched uneasily In their
chairs und finally attempted to dlvort him
fiom Ins argument by asking him u number
of questions. Those bearing on thu question
ho answered if ho could. Those ho could not
answer ho admitted that ho could not or
Ignored them. Those of a harcistie'"naturo
ho replied to in kind. None of the fiiallndo
of questions appeared to bother him and ho
stuck to the text.
'iuo railroad magnates picked out a num
ber of leading products such as beet sugar ,
and asked if commodity rates had not boon
granted. Dawes admitted this , but declared
that the shrewd r.illro-id ropresentiitlvos con
tinually boirgcd the quoniou or evaded thu
point.
Auditor Denton called the attention of Mr.
Dawe.s to the fact that during hn three
voars' connection with Iho board that there
had not boon n single written complaint made
to the board concerning the railroad r.itoj.
"There Is a good deal moro to do than
merely to make u complaint to the board , "
retoi ted Dawes. "A moro complaint would
do but little good. This board owes an apol
ogy to the people for : i failure to do its duty
in the past. "
"Whom are the pcoplol" asked Burt.
J'You will find where they are If rates uro
nbo reduced , " replied Dawes.
"Do you really say wo have not done our
dutt I" nolltoly asked Auditor Bonton.
"There Is a good deal moro to do than to
ride on a special car to the Pacific coast , "
replied Dawes.
"Wouldn'tyou like to rldo on a passi"
retorted Bonton.
"I wouldn't if I was a servant of the people
plo and was supposed to bo working for their
interest. "
"Do you complain of rates on hogs , cattle
or corn i" asked Oonoral Hastings.
' "No sir , not exactly , but I do complain
that certain portions of a hog nro discrimi
nated against. Persons living only seventy-
Jive miles from Omaha piy as much fieiglit
for canned goods as people shipping from St.
Louis , 443 miles away. Tlio same is true of
hundicas of other articles. "
Dauos was asked If ho would present n
formal written complaint to the board , but
failed to do so.
Mr. Soarl appealed before the board and
called the attention of the members to the
fact that when class 'J wheat was bilnging ! H )
cents in Chicago that the buyers In western
Nebraska were offering only .V > cents. Ho
said that ho had heard that there was a
scheme amontr the buyers to hold down the
prices bv having the board chaiigo certain
rules. Ho asked the board to prevent such
a combine if possible. Ho also urged that
the board roitnlato and lower through rates.
He was asked by Attorney General Hnst-
ing * what portions of the rules were to
changed , but Mr. Soarl could not do so.
Mr. H. II. Oakley , president of the Lincoln
board of trade , made an intoiesting address
In which he denied that the statoironts of
Mr. Dawes were true , that tliodiserimnmtion
In railroad rotes had retarded the ptogross
of the state. Ho introduced Mr Utt of the
Lincoln paper mill. Mr Utt piuducotl
llguros showing thnt Nebraska hud
not boon discriminated against by
the railroads. Ho showed a number
of wav-bills both from Nebraska
ind Iowa showing that local rates wcro lower
in Nebraska than in Iowa. Ho aUo decluied
that paper could bo manufactured ton
71 outer advantage In obrasxa than in Hit-
lots on account of the low rates afforded the
Nebraska manufacture- ! the railroads. In
answer to a question bv Secretary Johnson
: iu declared that an adoption of Iowa froluht
rates In Nebraska would bo a detriment to
the latter stato.
General Hastings called the attention of
the board to thu tact th it Mr. Dawos hid
left and taken with him thu various tables of
IImires presented to the boaid.
Mr. Bui lows said that Mr. Dawos had
taken thorn away to the alliance o.'llce to bo
published in pamphlet form. '
General Hawlov asked if Mr. Burrows
would not also publish the figures prepared
by Mr. Utt. Burrows declined to do this.
Mr. Burrows was nsitod if bo wished to
say anything to the board. Ho replied tnnt
Mr. Dawos had boon omplojod by the alll-
nnco to attend to that matter. Mr. Burrows
said that ho personally know nothing about
the question of transportation "nothing
moro than the man in the moon , " ho added
Ho intimated that It would bo a good thing
to have passes prevented. Mr. Holdiogd
asked if that ratal-red to persons who hud
been passed ficu with grain for the sutlcrlng
farmers.
General Hawley of the ISlkhorn , arose und
.said : "Tho man who knows the least about
it IB thn man who * > avs the most about it and
talks the most about it. Hotels the publisher
of a paper that claims to represent thu farm-
011 , and ho admits that ho does not know
anything about it. Look at our broad and
prosperous stato. The mon who own the
farms now loaded with ciops came hero in
the main u Ith only thuir bold hearts nud
strong right arms. They are In good condi
tion. Hut destroy the young
and growing Industries of the
Ktuto und vou destroy the prosperity both of
the peoplu'und the railroads , There tins boon
moro demagoguery on this than on any other
question. Any man who wished to got an of-
lite or bocoino prominent has jumped upon
this hobby and worked it with might and
main. Is It not a moie preumso that such
complaiuU are madul" General Hawley then
showed by llguros that the profits of the
roads In Iowa , based on the actual cost , was
only l.W ! per cent.
"Is It expected that the railroads shall bo
ruined for the bonoflt of n rortnln riant
Huppoto "omo of tno railroads hove boon sn'i '
slimed , thu persons owning the stock ut
nrim'nt ' have paid full price for It. They nro
entitled to protection the same as any other
pcoplo who have Invested their money In unv
other onU'rpilso. "
The board then adjourned to moot at
