"You pays your money , nnd you tnkcs your
choice. "
Moth sides of the operators' strlko on the
Hock Island system snillu confldontly and
assure thonporlcr they arc l > ound to win.
In fact thd company representatives say
they have already won , -\vhllo the operators
laugh and say the company is bluffing , , nud
that If over a line was tied up , that line Is
the Hock Inland.
"Our trains arc all moving on time , " Bays
the company's agent.
"Thero was not a single. Itock Island
freight train left Council Bluffs today , " re
turn tliu operators.-
" \Vo have all the men \vo need , " says the
agent.
' There Is only ono operator working In
Omaha and Council Bluffs , " say the opera
tors. "Thero were two , but one quit
this ovenlng. If you want to know
what's right , nsk the trainmen.
They can toll you whether the cars
nro moving on time or not. Wo know they
are not. The company is trying to scare the
weak-kneed fellows hack to work , but the
game won't ' work. We're out to win , and wo
will win if the members stand linn. "
In Omaha yesterday a moro confident
feeling seemed to pervade the ofllco
of. the company. It was reported that
passenger trains are arriving and leaving
on ttmo , although considerable snow on the
Nebraska division interferes'some what with
the speed of trains.
Nearly all the ofllces in Nebraska are now
in working order , although there are still a
few keys silent at small stations west of
Lincoln , but as the train dispatchers have
not gene out , and as many of the members
of the Order of IJallway Telegraphers have
refused to comply with the order to strike ,
the road in this section is quite
capable of handling passenger trains
and through freights. The local
business is 'suffering somewhat , but
Superintendent Burleigh hopes to got things
in perfect working order before Monday ,
when business will go on as If nothing liaei
happened.
, The operators laugh at the statement that
"nearly all" the ofllces are manned , and saj
.that three out of five all along the line are
idle. F. I * . Gllliland , who is secretary and
treasurer of the division , with headquarters
at Council Bluffs , received the following
. message from Chief Ifcnnsay at 0:40 : las

Mr. Stillwell met ten operators iu the Dos

The ofllcials say they will have an operator

Nnw VOIIK , Dec. 10. In the concert hall of
the Madison Square gaitlen tonight the He-
form club gave a dinner to I'rcsldent-elcct
Qrovcr Cleveland. The prospect of brilliant
oratory nnd wise counsel from the statesmen
speakers filled the boxes and galleries with
men nnd women Intcrcsteel in tlic welfare of
the government. They heard a number of the
lending stnti'smcn of the democratic party
and of the nation , who gave wise counsel.
The statesmen aside from President Cleve
land who spoho were : Carl fiohurz , Senator
Hogcr Q. Mills of Texas , ex-UelYcrnor James
12. Campbell of Ohio , General Patrick Col
lins of Massachusetts .and Cemgrcssman
Thomas Johnson of Ohio. AVllllam II. Mor-
rlsoiiiof Illinois was to have made an tuldrcss ,
but death In his family prevented * his ut-
tcndnnco.
Everything was in readiness nt 7 o'clock.
Flowers and foliage and tropical plalits were
tastefully arranged about the hall. Mr.
Cleveland came half nn hour Jntcr , accom
panied by ox-Secretary AVhltnoy , 13. Ellory
Anderson nnd one or two others. As hi en
tered there was a general clapping of hands ,
to which ho bowed ,
A noticeable feature of the dinner was the. '
number of out of town statesmen present.
Almost every state was represented and at
least one-third of the 1T5 at the table were ,
from out of town.
As Thpy flit at the Tablpi
The speaker's table was on the platform ,
so that not only the diners but the people in
the boxes and galleries had no difficulty in
seeing nml.hearing. Fourteen other tables
were arranged on the floor , in rows seven
wide and two deep , eight aisles , extending
lengthwise of the hall. At each table were
thirty-seven persons. An additional table
was plae-cd in the assembly room at which
twenty members of the club sat. The presiding -
siding officer announced the speakers.
It was almost 8 o'clock when the president
of the club , E. Ellcry Anderson , rapped for
order. Divine blessing was then invoked
and the dinner was served.
AVhilo the dinner was in progress the
boxes and galleries were gradually filled
and when the hist course had been linisheel
there was not n vacant seat in the house.
The dinner over , President Anderson spoke
of the recent victory of the democratic party
and said thu time demanded that democrats
redeem their pledges.
AVhcn the applause following the address
had ceased Mr. Anderson stepped to the
front of the platform and announced that
the next speaker was President-elect . Ho
did not finish this : sentence. AVben the audi
ence heard the words "president-elect" the
applause broke out and became almost deaf
ening. AVhcn quiet was at length restored
Mr. Cleveland spoke as follows :
Grovcr Cli'vclund's Itcmurks.
"A plain feature of this gathering which ,
I am sure , warms the hearts of nil of us , is
our celebration of the grandest and most
complete victory ever achieved In the strug
gle for right and justice and our glad greet
ing of the brightest light of triumph our
generation has seen , bursting from the clouds
of defeat and discouragement.
"Lot mo suggest to you , however , that wo
can contemplate nothing moro gratifying in
connection with this assemblage than the
proof it affords that the American people ,
can bo trusted to manage the government
which has been given into their keeping. If
there are these who have been disapi > ointcd
and disheartened by the extent to-which our
people have been deceived and mis
led , or who , with fear , have seen
hecdlcssncss of the duty of citizenship open
wide the door of corrupting influences , or
who , with sad forebodings , have beheld pop
ular rule Hearing the fatal rocks of a de
bauched suffrage , or who have mourncel be
cause appeals to selfishness and promises of
unequal advantages were apparently under
mining that patriotism which alone Justifies
our hope of national perpetuity , let this oc
casion and tne events which have led to it
reinstate their faith and thoh1 confidence iu
their countrymen.
"If it has seemed to these striving for
better public sentiment that the disposition
was growing among our people to regard
their government as a depository of individ
ual benefits , to-bo Importuned and threat
ened , to bo despoiled , let them take heed of the
evidences now before our eyes , that there is
still abroad in the land a controlling belief
that our government should bo a source of
Just and beneficent rule , proudly supported
by freemen , protected by their care and
watchfulness , and returning to all our people
with equal hand the safety and happiness it
holds in store for them.
An Appeal to I'utrlotlHiii.
"If wo hnvo learned that an appeal to the
patriotism of our countrymen and an honest
presentation of political principles to their
intelligence and Judgment are not in vain ,
the thought must not escape us that while
our people will , in the end , repay with their
support the political party which addresses
their unde-rstunding and reason , instead of
broad prejudices and selfish interests , they
will surely rovcngo themselves upem those
who deceive or hetniy them.
"Tho national democracy and its allies in
political principle rojolco over the defeat of
these whose fate is full of instruction and
warning. AVhilo wo find in our triumph a
result of ] x > pulnr intelligence , which wo have
aroused , and a consequence of popular vigil-
mice , which wo have stimulateel , let us not
fora moment forgot that our accession tc
power will ilnd neither this intelligence noi
this vigilance dead or slumbering , AVe are
thus brought face to face with the rolleellor
that If wo are not to bo tormented by the
spirits which wo ourselves have called up
wo must hoar , above victorious shouts , the
call of our fellow countrymen to public dutj
and must put on a garb befitting public scr
vants ,
' The ontlmcut suggested by this occasion
which should dwarf all others , bus relatioi
to the responsibility which awaits these win
now rejoice in victory , If wo redeem tin
promises wo have made to the voters of oui

as the ultimate object of all wo do , the right :
and the wclfaro of our people In every i > osi
lion iu Ufa must bo placed upon a moro cqua
piano of opportunity and advantage. '
"I am confident the wisdom of the demo
cratio party will bo equal to the emergency
nnd I basu my confidence upon thu belie
that It will bo patriotically truoito its princi
pics nnd traditions and will follow the pntl
marked out by the true American sentiment

At frequent Intervals during his speech
the prcsldcnt-cloct was interrupted by
he-arty applause and when ho finished the
applause lusted several minutes.
Hon. Carl Schurz was' introduced and
spoke at length on reform In thu abstract.
After Mr. Schurz llnishOd speaking Hon.
T. Ij. Johnson , congressman from Ohio , was
Introduced and
Senator MUM Introduced.
Hon. Itopcr Q. Mills was the n 5xt speaker.
He said that while ho rejoiced with the club
in thu splendid democratic victory , his Joy
was not unnlloved. Their labors were
onerous. To fitly discharge the duties
imposed upon it the Incoming govern
ment must keep its pledges. It must
substitute for the present tariff system
onethat has forits solu puriwse the raising
of revenue for the support of the govern
ment. At the same time the legislators
must see to it that the , new tariff bill shall
not only not impair the right of the Ameri
can people to labor and to market the pro
ducts of thqlr labor , but that the employ
ment of the labor of the whole country
shall bo the prime object when they prepare
their measure.
The next speaker was James B. Campbell
of Ohio. He said ho did not know just ex
actly whom ho represented. As near as ho
was able to comprehend from the toast as
signed to him ho represented the college pro
fessors on the ono hand and thu boys who
wanted the postonlccs on the other. Ho
was in favor of both. Ho favored
the professors because as long ns they staid
in the democratic party the democrats were
sure of having somebody who could read and
write , which would relieve them of a great

Otlior Speaker * .
Congressman Breckimidge of Kentucky
nnd Governor-elect Stone of Missouri made
brief addresses and then Senator Carlisle of
Kentucky was introduced. .
"The democratic party , " said Mr. Carlisle ,
"stood on a tariff platform which embodied
a declaration that -would stand the closest
scrutiny of its opponents now and hereafter.
That declaration was > promulgated and
matured of a " 'man whoso name
would live .in the'political annals of
thu country as long ns constitutional
democracy had a friend in the land Samuel
J. Tildon. [ Applause. ] Upon that declar
ation Mr. Tildcn had received the majority
of the popular vote , and ought to have re
ceived a majority of the electoral vote.
[ Applause. ] The democracy now bad the
opportunityof puttififfMmt eicwjhiratioii into
effect , and they would rasp it bravely and
honestly. "
AVhcn Senator Carlisle concluded President
Anderson , after thanking the audience for
attention , saiel peed night.
Speaker CrHp Offended.
Speaker Crisp was-among these present.
It was thought , ho would , make an address ,
but at 11 o'clock ho aroso. and left the ban
quet hall apparently vciy much disturbed.
It was reported that ho was " ill , but this was
not thu case. Speaker "Crisp was seen by a
representative of the Associated Press as ho
was leaving the hull.
"Aro you not going to speak ? " ho was
asked.
"No , " ho said.
"AVhnt is the reason : are you ill ! "
"I have tt'ot been invited to speak. "
"But the Associated Press has already
sent all the papers in the country the speech
you were to deliver. "
"That is true , " said Speaker Crisp. "I
was invited to the dinner , and the invitation
was such Unit I thought I was to bo called
upon to make an address. I prepared one
and gave it to the Associated press at its re
quest. The Associated press also seems to
have thought that I was to bo called upon to
speak. However , I have not been asked to
speak tonight. "
Mr. Crisp then excused himself and left
the hall. '
The Associated'Press reporter then asked
ex-Secretary Fairchild for some explanation
of the withdrawal of Speaker Crisp. Mr.
Fall-child frankly said the reason why Mr.
Crisp did not speak was that ho hud not
been invite'd to speak.
"But Speaker Crisp is a democrat of na
tional importance. Is there any special rea
son why ho should not be Invited to speak ! "
"AVcll , " said Mr. Fairchild , with some
hesitation , "there were so many democrats
of prominence present that wo could not ask
them all to speak , so wo had to limit the
number of speakers. "
There was much disappointment in the
banquet hall because Mi- . Crisp did not
speak.

In this city looking nfter the affairs of the
Union Pacific , today made a statement of
thcdlniculty existing between his road nml
the Klo Grande' Western. He says that the
Western , Midland and other systems which
reach Ogden wnnte > d to prorate with the
Union Paetllc from' Ogden to points on Us
own line. His road offered a fair compro
mise to prorate from Denver , giving one-half
of the haul and taking one-half , but this ) was
not ae-coded to. and consequently the AVcst-
ern will not be able to issue tickets over the
Union Pacific.
Mr. Dickinson concluded his statement by
saying that his road had decided to decline
business on any such basis and will hereafter
prorate with no company that docs not de
liver its business to the Union Pacific at
Denver.
- A prominent Hto Grande AVestcrn oftlclal
gives his version of the controversy ns fol
lows : "Under our old arrangement , " said
he , "all the tourist travel was by way of
Salt Lake. That road now proposes to inrtlto
us give it a local rate on business from Ogden
to Portland. Wo do decline to accede
to this and the result is that
tourists will go through to Portland
by way of Granger without making Salt
Luke at nil. AVe claim that the Union
Pacific has no right to demand local rates
from us on through tickets. AVe don't ask a
prorate at all but only n fair division such as
will give us an opportunity te > handle the
business. To retaliate wo have taken off all
tickets over the Union Pacific and trans
ferred our business to the Central Pacific.
Mr. Dickinson is wrong when ho says wo de
mand a prorate. "

CHICAGO , 111. , Dec. 10. General Manager
St. John of the Hock Island denies the state
ment of Chief Hamsay of the Order of Hail-
way Telegraphers that 85 per cent of the
men in the telegraph department are out and
that the road Is crippled by the strike. St.
John siiid today : "Hero are roimrls from
nearly every station of prominence along
our lines and they indicate that trains are
running-well nnd that our telegraph system
is working as if no operators had contem
plated striking. AVe know nothing , of a
strike. Humsay is quoted as saying that we
recognize the chiefs of the engineers , train
men and conductors and that bo will compel
us to recognize him if it takes all winter.
AVe recognize' everybody who comes to'us
bearingthe label of the Hock Island road.1
Several important railroad meetings will
ho heal in Chicago next week. One of these
is the regular quarterly session of the AVest-
cm Freight association , which in addition to
transacting thu usual routine business
will probably hear the report of
the special committee of managers that
has been working out a plan for
the establishment of a tonnage pool. Another
will bo the meeting of executive ofliccrs of
the lines in the territory of the Central
Truffle association for the purpose of consid
ering among other things the question ot
AVorld's fair rates. A third will ho that of
thu general managers of the western roads ,
who have been Killed together to consider
the general question of passenger rates in
their territory. Moro interest is manifested
in the last named 'than in either of the
others , because of a feeling that upon the
result of this conference depends the fate of
the AVestcrn Passenger association. It was
especially called to decide what action
should be taken in view of the Atehi-
son's request that southwestern Mis
souri river business bo exceptcd from
the agreement. To grant the request
would bo to disrupt the association , while to
refuse it woulU be to force the Atchison out
of the association , and the result would bo
Just as bad. The only alternative is to in
duce the Alldn to join thu association , in
which event the Atchison would withdraw
its request.
The provisional freight Agreement adopted
by the transmissouri lines will go into effect
January 1. In addition to the establish
ment of rate committees , to have charge of
traffic affairs , the compact provides that on
the castbound freight the rates shall , in all
cases , bo the same as those on westbound
shipments of the same articles/

KANSAS CITY , Mo. , Dee. 10 , Judge Phillips
of the United States court this afternoon
granted decrees of foreclosure of mortgages
held by the Central Trust company of New
York against the Chicago , Kansas City &
Texas Hallway company for $475.000 and
against the Kansas City Bridge nnd Terminal
company for $1,000,000.
AValter H. Holmes is appointed master in

.MACON , Gu. , Dec. 10 , The question has
been raised as to the validity of the charter
under which the Georgia Southern & Florida
railroad operates ,
The affairs of tills company have occupied
the attention of the court for nearly two
"
years. Thu road Is now iu the hands of a
receiver. The bondholders , whoso majority
interests nro represented by tlio Mercantile
Trust nnd Loan company of Baltimore , have
endeavored to foreclose the mortgage 'and '
have thu road sold. This action has been
stoutly resisted by the Mucon Construction
company , which is trying to prevent the snlo
of the road. The latter holds 1,000,000 of
common stock among its' assets , nnd thinks
if the road is sold this stock will bo rendered
valueless , whereas if not sold at. this time
i they will bo able to realize from these assets
in the neighborhood of $2,000,000. The emus-
Q tlon as to the validity of the charter will
delay proceedings until the matter ia heard
b by court. '
An application will bq made bj [ the bond-
, holders for a receiver of the bonds , nnd the :

PROBLEMS OF THE TIMES.

AcconHnpr to Dr. Henry Smith AA'lll-
Innis there ia hut onu disease which , ns
soon ns he sees it , the physician must
stand nslelo , nnd , helpless , lot It run its
course till the rmtlent Is tloml.
"Of nil the diseases Hint nionnco the
rnco , " Dr. Williams writes in the North
American Jtaviow , "only n few nro nbso.
lutuly fatal. Inuoed , there Is but ouo
common dlecaso that invariably brines
its victims speedily to the grave. This
most ruthless of iiinlndic.s is that torri-
bo ! form of insanity technically called
general paresis or parollu dcmoncln ,
nnd known to the layman us "sottouinp
ot the brain. " Its unvarying history
entitles it to iirocodoiie'o over consump
tion , cancer , Urlght's disease , In short ,
jilnccs it peerless in bail pro-omiiionce.
And us if this were not enough , its
inallffntty is umplmslzod by the way in
which it juggles with ita victim before
It oxtiiigujshos his life. It changes his
personality , dethrones reason , almost
eliminates the mind , nnd , steadily weak
ening tlio body , loaves toward th'o hist u
moro skeletal , vogotntlvo being scarce
recognizable us the vestige of his former
self ; unknowing , unfeeling , mindless , to
his fricnas nt once titcnrltil memory and
tv terrible objective ju-esoueio. Filially
death comes in ti form horrible enough
to be the fitting uliinnx of so awful a dis
ease. To muku the image yet saddur ,
and hence truer , it should bo nddcd that
parobis usually selects for its victims the
intellectual members of the comiiumilv.
"Selects , " did I say ? Hathcr , I should
hnvo used the passive tcnso ; for paresis
docs not como unbidden. Kuthlcss.us it
is when once it has seized a victim , it
ncod have no terrors for any ono who
docs not invite it by his actions. And
this , perhaps , is the s\ddost : fact of nil
in the sad history of this baleful disease.
To stand helpless and see a strong muu
cut down by disease is always appalling ;
but to fool that his disonso was prevent
able ; to know that ho is hut reaping as
10 has sown ; to have the words como un-
iddcn to your lips , 'tho wages of sin is
oath , ' tiiis is indeed a bitter and
lumiliating experience. " '
The > Vd of Jjirgi * Cltli'S.
AY. P. McLoughlin intimates , 'in the
> oginniti2 of nn article in the Arena ,
lint benevolent people would" do bettor
o look nearer at homo for suffering to
eliovo before sending their moiioy t-j
iclp the evicted pconlo ot Ireland ,
Then ho paints a frightful picture of
nisory caused by the rapacity of the
undlords in Now York , who last your
dispossessed 129,720 families of their
ionics. Afterwards ho suggested a plnn
b help the deserving poor , which ho
.hinks . might well bo applied in any
argo city.
The clittrities of the city might com-
Mne , lip thinks , and establish a fund for
, ho relief of such ca es ns nriso in the
civil "courts where deserving people are
iablo to be evicted who o\vo very small
unounts. A responsible man should bo
) lnccd in onch court , unel when the
ustico meets with a case in which ho
iocs direct evidence of deserving want ,
t might bo referred to the roprnscnta-
ivo of the charities , .who would in
vestigate and report back to the justice.
: Ic then might give a recommendation
to the charities to pay the amount re
quired to keep the poison invostitratod
n a homo , or give the landlord his do-
crco if the circumstances culled for such
course. "It would bo a little stop in the
direction of relief before the real ro-
'orm comes , " says the writer. "It
would save thousands of the luckless
victims of poverty from being wist into
; ho streets in the biting colds of win-
.era' snows. It might save many a
Homeless young woman from desperately
bnrtoring away her virtue to provide
a homo for a sick mother , a frct&omo ,
emaciated sister or a , starving self. Such
sacrifices are horribly frequent , as
, s shown by the records of the night
missions and refuges of the slums. The
exercise of a little practical philan-
: hropy in the line suggested would help
to ward ofT , for a time at least , the in
evitable 'doael wagon' and ghastly pine
box of tlio city's morgue. "

In an interesting sketch of Cliincso
, ifo in this country in the December
Harper's , Ilonry Uurdon McDowell ven
tures n defense of the race. Describing
n custom of the people , ho says :
"In associating a mystical moaning
with the color rod , anil closely connect
ing this moaning with tin tree of life ,
tlio Cliincso have but followed out ull
analogies to their logical conclusion.
Tlio tree of life is the tree of man ; and
red is the color not only of man's blood ,
but of the universal life. By very defi
nition , then , red is the color of salva
tion operating to secure the health of
both body and soul. In Chinatown ,
therefore , it has actually become a sani
tary precaution a sort of spiritual
chloride of limo.
"But it has ether uses. No present ,
for instance , is over uoetowoil , oven upon
a whlto burburian , which is not care
fully wrapped up in rod paper. The
very name for present is ang-pao , rod
parcel. Hod Is the color of the ' ) OH-
govlty candles' and the 'birthday eggs. '
Again , no Chlnoso guiillomon would
over think of inflicting upon frJund or
uequalntauco such nn omen of death in
a white visiting card ; It is always red.
Rod , in fact , is used gohonilly on every
joyful ocoiiHlon , ns at mtirrlngo or at the
birth of a mule .child , and is only care
fully avoided In cases of docuuPQ or
mourning. Even the red llrucnickor is
more definitely connected with Chinodo
sport. In Chinatown firecrackers urg
used to drive out devils nn employ
ment which , though It brings thorn into
rather gen oral play , must not ho con
founded with the uso'our children make
of thorn upon the glorious Fourth. As
n , matter of fact , Uhlneso boys and girls
are not allowed to touch these imple
ments of religious wurefaro. "
