Don't count on Prendcrgast being hung until after the execution takes place. "Ono tardy proclamation deserves another" Us the way Grover paraphrases tlio ancient taw. Pullman Is the modern case-hardened Pharaoh. He says ho has nothing to arbi trate. That | 17,000 warrant for Wiley's company itlll remains unsigned In the hands of Mayor Demls. What do Hascall and Wheeler think of the reply inndo by Mayor Bemls to their frivolous Impeachment charges ? How many ot the railway strikers are wishing that they had not voted for Cleve land at the last presldcmllal election ? The annual exodus of lawyers from this olty does not seem to be suffering any serious interference from the strike. Passes still hold good. Wiley Is out of town. But his representa tives In the city council are eagerly Ipoklng out for his Interests and will see that they do not suffer during his absence. Mr. Pullman Is like the hero who prefers to sniff the battle from afar. Just now Long Branch and the Thousand Isles lire- sent greater attractions than Chicago to the millionaire car builder. The rumor spread from railroad headquar ters that Justice Brewer had como to a de cision adverse to the validity of the maxi mum freight rate law proves to bo a trifle premature , but It shows what the railroads nro ardently praying for. There are a few things which Peffcr forgot to Include In that omnibus resolution. But those- that have not been covered In previous efforts of the same kind will certainly come In for consideration when the Kansas senator decides to "resolute" again. The democratic conferees on the tariff bill are said to bo making slow progress with their work. Perhaps this Is to be explained by the fact that President Cleveland Is too busily occupied with moro pressing affairs to be able to tell them exactly what he wants done. ' Orover Cleveland has now Issued two mar tial law proclamations , but not a word to congress which represents the nation as much as ho does and should by rights bo taken Into the confidence "of the executive whenever domestic Insurrection calls for suppression by federal authority. Wo bollevo It was Hascall who Insisted that no court would declare trio bond filed by Pardeo & Co. In bo valid. But the court has recognized the bond as perfectly legal in every respect Hascall's advlco as a law yer Is almost as reliable as Wheeler's opinion ns an expert electrician. , If all the trades of Chicago go out on a strike the roads won't be so anxious to move the trains which they say are ready to pro ceed as soon as the track Is clear. They can make up special trains for the United States malls , but their profits on mall con tracts will scarcely compensate thorn for a lack ot passengers and freight. By finally agreeing to designate two gar bage dumps , the members of the Board of Health hnvo at last taken away from the garbage collectors their last excuse for con tinuing Jo violate the law and ordinances by depositing rofuao wherever they happen to see fit. Tlio garbage men should now bo held to a strict observance of the rules which the health board has laid down and the first ono discovered Indulging In objectionable practices should bo deprived of his license and forbidden to pursue the business cf col lecting garbage. The health and cleanliness of Iho city are not to be Jeopardized for the purpose of putting a few dollars Into the pockets of the garbage collectors. Let the wrangling cca e mil the business bo con ducted In a businesslike manner. If the corporations Insist upon placing Debs under arrest there ara plenty of charges that muy bo trumped up against him , some of which might possibly hold water before a carefully selected Jury. But thi ) itory that they hnvo gone way out to Denver to raise an unprecedented complaint that he has violated that clause of the fed eral constitution which forbids the Impair ment of the obligation of contracts Is too ridiculous to bo credited. In the first place the prohibition of the constitution Is di rected solely against the law-making bodies ot the several states and not against an Individual. In the second place congress MM unacted no legislation to provide punlsh- moat for any ono who should violate that clause. The whole plan la so frivolous that no ono with the slightest common sense could for a moment have entertained It. Mil. "Tho Pullman company has nothing to ar bitrate. " This Is the wny Mr. Pullman de scribes his attitude toward the strikers In the pending contest between Mmcelf nnd his em ployes. He maintains that the struggle has gotten beyond the bounds orglnally sot and that Its outcome no longer concerns him any more than It does every other law abiding citizen of the United Stntcs. Having made n statement to the workmen of Pullman When they sent a committee to him to de mand redress for their grievances that his company had really been Inking orders for the manufacture of cars at less than their original cost nnd that to restore wages would mean nn Increase of the constant daily losses under which his works were operating , he Immediately jumped to the conclusion Hint that settled the matter nnd left noth ing further In dispute. To n polite request that the differences be submitted to arbitra tion he replied sharply that ho had nothing to arbitrate. This nccottnt of the origin of the strike , although In somewhat greater detail , Is being carefully circulated by Mr. Pullman through his iigents as his version of the story of the strike.The purpose Is , of course , to counter act any current of sympathy that might pos sibly be setting In toward the strikers nnd at the same time to tone down some of the harsh views that have been expressed con cerning his conduct In this matter. Mr. Pullman's actions therefore belle his words , for unless he admit that the strike stilt vitally concerns him why should ho be so anxious to set his actions In the most favorable light possible before the public ? Ho knows that 1m Is being severely criticised for the nt- tltudo which ho has assumed , that people arc doubting the soundness of his statement , because , although claiming that It Justifies him In declining to restore wages , ho re fuses absolutely to submit It to the de termination of a board of Impartial arbitra tors. tors.Bo Bo these criticisms Just or unjust , Mr. Pull man Is certainly in the wrong when he as sumes tiat | ho has no other duty In the premises than each of his fellow citizens , or that ho can , without subjecting himself to adverse comment , betake himself to his sum mer palace amidst the Islands of the St. Lawrence while the authorities are doing their utmost to suppress turmoil and strife. There Is a responsibility resting upon Mr. Pullman which no ono clso bears. It lies within his power to put an end to the strike by submitting to arbitration. In posing as a self-appointed martyr to an inevitable con flict lie Is trying to piny a role which the circumstances hardly warrant. A U'OllD 0V CAUTION. The worklngmen of Omaha , and especially members of the various trades unions , will be subjected to a very severe strain during the continuance of the great railway strike. Within the next forty-eight hours they maybe bo Importuned to follow the example set by the trades unions of Chicago and make com mon cause with the railway union and strik ing Pullman employes. They will be urged to quit work In a body and thereby embroil Omaha Into a conflict from Which she has so far fortunately been free. The Bee would caution worklngmen to take no rash steps that would entail great hard ships upon them without materially aiding the cause with which they sympathize. We ilo not bellevo that anything that might bo done by Omaha worklngmen beyond giving expression to their sentiments would In any way promote the settlement ot the strike or force any concessions by the railroad managers to the railway employes. In the present precarious condition of our working people It would be foolhardy for those who are employed at fair pay to throw up their iobs as a matter of sympathy. There Is a lard wfnter bcforo us , and every wage worker will need all he can save up during the season to keep the wolf from the door. There are those , of course , who have nothing o lose and everything to gain by a walk-out. But such men have no right to. Insist that others shall take the bread out of the mouths of their own families by Joining In a sym pathetic strike that will bo won or lost with out reference to anything that may be done n Omaha. It Is eminently proper for the \vago work ers in Omaha to make known their sym pathy with the cause of labor , and to con- rlbuto of their own means whatever can be spared toward sustaining that cause , but a general walkout would hardly be justified unless victory or defeat were hanging in ho balance dependent upon such action , ndlvldually and colectlvely Omaha worklng- nen have no other grievance that that com- non to all wageworkers In America at this line , namely , a lack of constant employ- nent. There Is no controversy between hem nnd their employers , and they "have everything to lese and nothing to gain by rushing Into a strike at a time when work s scarce and labor over-abundant. There Is promise of concurrent action by the governments of Europe looking to the repression of anarchism. Last week a bill was Introduced In the British House of Lords to Increase the powers of existing aws respecting Immigration. In explaining this measure the marquis of Salisbury said hat Knglard was becoming , to a great ex- ent , the headquarters of anarchUts. Many of the products by which the recent crimes n the name of anarchy wqro effected were nanufactured In Great Britain , which alone among European nations , said the cx-pro- nler , has not the power to expel aliens from ler shores. Ho said the force of events lias wrought an entire change of opinion In Great Britain as to the right of asylum , and that to maintain the right of asylum to those engaged In a conspiracy to assassinate would can so the nations of the world to look with ndtgnatlon upon the country where crimes could be safely organized. The German government , it Is understood , leslres to co-operate with Great Britain In the matter and also with other nations , among them the United States. So far as tiiawn the government of Germany has no definite policy to propose , and the Inference rom the language of Its olllclal organ Is that it h the disposition of the emperor to mrsue a conservative course. It Is reported that a measure la being prepared for the consideration of the parliament , but nothing s known of its character. Meanwhile pub- lo discussion of the subject in the press dlsclosoj a strong sentiment on the part of lie conservative papers In favor of the re- lowal of the anti-socialist laws , while the Ibcral newspapers argue against any 1m- mlslvo or passionate notion , The French government has n radical meas ure before the Chamber of Ie. utits which pro vides for the summary trial of penons In citing to acts of violence and giving Judges tower to pass sentence of banishment. The Uspatches say that while this bill Is encountering - countering vigorous opposition from the so- ciallsu and the extreme section of the press t uppeara certain that It w.ll pass , and In he present temper of the French people It s possible that oven a moro radical measure vould receive popular approval. Other Eu ropean Bovcrumonta may bo expected to take a hand In the effort to repress anarch ism , each working to that end In Its own way , but In effect all operating together. The declaration of Premier Crlspl that an I anarchist Is a man without a country teems | to be accepted by the governments ot Eu- 1 rope generally as a righteous verdict against those who counsel nssasslnitlon as n means Of remedying existing social evils , ' and the ! purpoie of most of the proposed legislation Is to exclude such persons from the right of asylum , That the growth Of the anarchistic element In Europe arid the manifestations of Its savage and malignant spirit justify a policy of this kind will not bo questioned by any friend of law and order. However valid the reasons may be for popular dls-atlsfao tlon with existing social conditions , no ra tlonal man believes that the remedy Is to be found In murder and the malicious de struction of property. The bullet or the Itnlfo or the bomb of the assassin are not the means through which the oppressed are to be relieved or the abu'os and evils of which there Is Jint complaint removed , and thojo who counsel or resort to such means arc the enemies of civilization , without any claim to the toleration of enlightened man kind. Criminals In spirit and purpose they nro proper objects of summary and stern punishment whenever discovered , nnd It Is both the right and the duty of governments to refuse them the right of asylum. The danger Is In going too far In legislat ing against those who give expression to their discontent and dissatisfaction. There are millions of people who Justly complain of the wrongs they suffer from prevailing social conditions nnd earnestly demand reforms who ore not anarchists and who have no sympathy with anarchistic doctrines. The great body of socialists are of this class , and It would bo most unjust to condemn them to suffer penalties such aj are proposed for anarchists. There Is a very wide difference between socialism , which contemplates a peaceable reform of social conditions , and the barbarism of anarchy. It Is especially Important that this distinction bo kept In mind by the statemcn of this country who nro proposing legislation for the repression of anarchism. The American people have no sympathy with the policy of assassination , but they are willing to accord the largest liberty to those who seek social reform through legitimate methods. A SKltlOUS I'ltASK OF THE SITUATION. There Is one phase of the strike situation of which little has been said , but which Is belnu widely realized , and that Is the ef fect upon the food supply and the prices of some commodities. Dispatches of a few days ago from a number of towns In the west reported almost a famine In some of the necessaries , with prices of everything advanced to unprecedented figures. Re ports from the east state that meat Is very scarce In every southern New England town , and the price of beef has gone up 5 nnd 7 cents a pound. All over the east. In deed , as well In the large cities na Jin the small towns , the supply of meat is unequal to the demand , and those who can afford to buy It have to pay a good deal more than before the strike shut oft the supply. There Is also scarcity In dairy products and fruits , the prices of which have , of course , ad vanced. Taking the country through this state of affairs Is costing consumers a great deal , and among those who were before com pelled to practice the utmost economy it must be causing a great deal of privation. The situation can hardly fall to be ag gravated If the order for a general strike of the organized labor of the country Is re sponded to to the extent which the labor leaders profess to expect. A cessation of production In the food-making Industries for a single week would be a very serious mat ter for all communities , and particularly so for the poorer classes ot people , who only buy supplies from day to day and to whom higher prices for the necessaries of life would be a decided hardship. The dally food consumption of the country Is enor mous , and the supply on hartd Is never greatly beyond the demand , so that only a brief stoppage of production would be neces sary to bring about famine In a large part ot the country. There Is an abundance of everything , but this does not matter If It Is not put In form for consumption and dis tributed. It is perfectly obvious that so for as a general strike of organized labor would oper ate to reduce the food supply nnd Increase the cost of living , the greatest hardship of such a condition of affairs would bo exper ienced by the multitude of unemployed , and especially by that portion of them who have been long idle , among whom tens of thou sands are destitute. From this point of view It Is plain that the carrying out of the order for a general strike throughout the country may entail a vast amount of suffering. But It Is hardly probable that there will be any such general response to the order as those who have promulgated It hope for. It Is to bo presumed that a large proportion of work men who appreciate the value ; f employ ment under existing conditions nnd who have no grievance will bo disposed to re gard their personal Interests nnd : amain at work , howuver strong their sympathy with the striking Pullman and railroad men. Still It Is to be apprehended that the number \\lio will comply with t'he order Is so considerable as to materially Increase the seriousness nnd the dlfllcultles of the situation. From pres ent Indications the next few days will have developments ot the profoundest interest. What the gold standard or the free coinage - ' ago ot silver lias to do with the present railway strike is not quite visible to the ordinary eye , but President Debs Insists ( upon referring to the money question as one of the underlying causes of the trouble. Whether the Pullman employes were paid In gold , paper or silver would have been Immaterial to them so long ns the wages received were Insufllclent to pay the rent exacted of them and support tholr families at the same time. The underpaid workmen In Pullman would have had no better op portunity of getting their hands upon the , money whether the government adopted a new financial policy or adhered to Its old ' one. It will bo useless for the moro money ' men to attempt to draw capital from the ' t pending labor conflict. tt ti t t There Is no use for the railroads to hire Plnkertons or other mercenaries to protect 1 their property when a simple application to 1 the federal government will bring them all the United States troops which they can use for that purpose. It the Burlington managers had only bethought themselves of this ready expedient that road might have saved the vast sums expended for this serv ice during Its disastrous strike ot six years ago. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ A second tardy proclamation from the white house places the railroads In half the western states and territories : under direct protection of the federal troops uml warns the people along those lines to desist from obstructing inter state tralllo and to disperse to their homes. There had not been a single Important change In the situation In any ot these state * durlhg the period Arising between the two Koclarrtatlons and ? nothing demanded the second at the time of Its Issue any more than before. Both proclamations could easily Jmvo been combined In 'ono had the presi dent only thought of It. Both of them should have made their appearance bcforo the fed eral troops were ordered to assume control. It would seem that there Is'quite enough at present In the condition of domestic affairs to command all the attention of the govern ment at Washington , but it appears that Secretary Oresham ls growing anxious that something should e done by congress to carry out his recommendations regarding the relations of the United States to Samoa. The secretary's Idea Is that this country ought to abandon the arrangement by which It became a party with Great Britain and Germany In exercising a sort of protectorate over Samoa , and ho urges this on the ground that such an arrangement Is Inconsistent with our established policy and that It has not resulted In any advantage to the United States. Our only Interest there Is In having n coaling station , nnd flits ho does not re gard as of great Importance. There Is strong opposition to his view In the senate and It Is doubtful whether Secretary Grcsham's rec ommendation will be approved , yet It li hardly questionable that If popular opinion could be expressed his position would be endorsed. That a radical departure was made by this government In the relations assumed toward Samoa will not ba denied , and It Is simply a question now whether we shall continue those relations or return to the policy of keeping out of entangling alli ances with European powers. We think there can bo no doubt that Intelligent public opinion would favor the latter course. A so-called Omaha divine has been se lected by the All-Wise Providence to unfold the real cause of the great railway strike. It Is no less than retribution sent upon the people of Chicago for the awful sacrilege committed In opening the gates of the Woild's fair grounds on Sundays last year. The same Lord which sent seven years of famine and all the plagues upon the Egyptians has chosen this modern melhod to chastise the wicked Chlcngoans of today. Such being the case , why attempt further to avert the Inevitable disaster ? Coxey's army has not yet been pressed Into the service. Neither has Kelly's navy. I'OLITIVAL I'OTl'OirilltT. North Bend Hepubllcan : "Fifteen votes for Jack MacColl. " That's the way the Dodge county vote will bo announced In the republican state convention. This Is official. Wallace Star : The only genuine , fast-color boom that has been uncorked &o far as the state ticket Is concerned Is tlio one In be half of Jack MacColl. The Lexington gentle man looks moro llko a winner every day. Blue Springs Senlliiel : From n careful perusal of the papers over the state , It would seem that the boys have the MacColl for governor fever awful barf. There Is no doubt but what Jack would make the welkin ring were ho nominated. ° Humboldt Standard : ; The Jack MacColl boom for governor has reached the eastern boundary of this cpunty , and , were It not for the unusual freshet In the Missouri river , there is no telling but the popular MacColl wave would bo far obt In Missouri before this time. ( , Plattsmouth Herald : We are pleased to see the county papery' endorse Hon. Sj M. Chapman for congress , so vigorously , as It. proves , the sentiments of the people who support them. Right you are , gentlemen , and set her out ahother notch [ for good govern ment and 'we5 will stayi-wlth you till the last dog Is hung. -M , , , . , Lincoln Courlerflh the face of a general opinion to the contrary , the Courier ventures the prediction that r. Bryan and his friends will be In the minority at the coming demo cratic state convention. The populist clamor at the silver conference In Omaha was one thing and the sentiment of the democratic party In this state another and entirely dif ferent thing. Fremont Tribune : II. E. Moore of Lin coln Is being brought forward as a candi date for lieutenant governor. Mr. Moorer has served Lancaster county aa senator for three successive terms , and he did it with signal ability. There has not been In any session of which he has been a member an abler debater nnd a man of wider knowledge as to the state's needs. Ansley Chronicle : We still hear occa sionally the name of Hon. A. E. Cady of St. Paul being mentioned as a probable candi date for governor before the republican con vention. Mr. Cady Is not without friends In this county , and should that gentleman an nounce his candidacy before the county con vention Is held he would not bo entirely Ig nored In making up the state delegation. Tilden Citizen : Charles S. Coney ot Stanton - ton seems to be the most prominent candi date for the office of state superintendent of public Instruction on the republican ticket. Mr. Coney is a man who has devoted his life to school work' , having been a prac tical teacher , and is now serving his fifth term as superintendent of Stanton county. Perhaps there is no other man In the state moro pre-eminently qualified for the office. Beatrice Express : The candidacy of Mr. C. G. Pease , superintendent of the Beatrice public schools for the past several years , for the nomination of state superintendent of public Instruction , Is becoming more popular as the merits and abilities of. the gentleman become known. In ninny portions of the state he has a largo following , and If the conditions at the state convention are favor able , his nomination Is assured. He Is a product of Nebraska schools , being a grad uate of Doane college , and Is a gentleman qualified In every particular for the Im portant ofllco he seeks. Coznd Tribune : The republican party must not stoop to gratify merely the personal am bitions of any ono man. When it meets in convention Its purpose should be , and will be , to make such nominations as will mean suc cess In November. While wo admire Tom Majors for his many nets of party loyalty , It cannot bo denied by oven his most ardent supporters that the party has fully repaid every obligation to him. Neither can It be denied that to nominate him will bo to of fend many whoso aid Is essential to victory , and will Incur the open hostility of some who can by a wise nomination be placed in line for loyal service. In the coming cam paign. ' i' Fremont Herald ! 'Colonel Walt M. Seely made a few footprints In the dust on the streets of Fremont * , last evemng. It was rumored that ho w.iis Ulstrlbutlng samples ot Wild Hny Bittern manufactured by Tom Majors , but no bottK'Si of the 'decoction have been left at thli oflk'o. for analysis. L. C. Chapman of'Teejimseu Is among the aspirants for the nomination for the attor ney generalship on tji populist ticket. George Marsh Is Richardson county's can didate tor the oillce pi land commissioner , If the republicans will only nominate him. J. 11. Piper of Ia > Jan [ county would llko to receive the republican nomination for sec retary of stale. Ho believes that his posi tion In the Republican valley Is favorable to his success. * Colfax county has h candidate to como be- fora the popullBt state' convention , Henry Bolton Is his name , nnd ho thinks -ho could fill Joe Hartley's ghoea to perfection. York county will vresent the name ot II , R , Corbett to the republican convention for the olHco of superintendent of public In struction. Tim Sedgwlck says Corbett Is a winner. Ills name Is an omen of success. Unfair Niiturullzntlou I.uvvu.- , Chlcaeo Herald. Hecent eventH render the Interpretation of the naturalization laws by Judge Colt ot Boston unusually interesting. The case was the application of Mr. Salto , u Japan ese , for citizenship , The court held that the Japanese do not come within the de scription "white pcrbons" prescribed In the HtntutcB. Thus the most Ignorant ami dan gerous Europeans creaturea little above animals in the scale of creation may be come cltlzeiiH , while the cultured and Intel ligent natives ot Japan ore debarred from the. privilege. There Is certainly an op portunity for remedial leclulatton In thin matter. . INK I'Vtir.w JIB n- . Detroit Free Press' Were It not * o pltl- nblo a spectacle , It would bo laughable to note how luxuriously Pullman Is regaling himself In tlio salt-freighted sea breezes , whllo labor Is harassing and crippling Itself In an attempt to bring him to tcrmi by pun ishing pretty much everybody In the country save him , Chicago Post : Mr. Pullman , as our read ers hnvo observed , Is not In Chicago. He Is nt his summer house , "Cattle Rest , Pull man Island , " In Alexandria bay , New York. A reporter who asked him for an Interview wai met with the response that Mr. Pullman was too tired to talk. We suppose he Is. And the people what of them ? The people In Castle Penury nnd Castle Hunger and Cas tle Death ? Ah , they are tired , too. They nro tired of Pullman , so tired of him ! St. Paul Globe : That Pullman was n des pot all men have long known ; that he Is a coward as well Is piovcd by his avoidance of the scenes of carnage ho has created. While men struggle desperately In the streets and byways of Chicago , Pullman Is enjoying the delights of the sea breezes nt his seaside palace , refusing oven to listen to the stories of distress that como from Chicago cage , nnd mocking nil appeals for assist ance In Bottling the dispute. Pullman could have given Nero polnUra on the llddllng business. Chicago Herald : An unnuthentlcnted re port comes from the east to the effect that the Pullman company will , \\hwi the pres ent trouble Is over , remove Its whole plant from the town ot Pullman to some place far away from any city or large town. Such n proposition Is entirely In line with the unwise course of the Pullman company from the beginning , and It shown that the head of that concern has learned nothing from recent events. The Idea that men will starve to death or submit to enslavement any more readily In the country than In tin- city Is characteristic of the satrap , but It Is not the less false. The problem will not be solved that way. It will be Settled only by the renunciation of ducal powers by the head of the Pullman company. No Imperlum In Imperlo can exist In this country. Sweetening tlmVhl Uy Trutt. New York Sun. The senate has been almost us kind to the Whisky trust ns to the Sugnr trust. Estimating the present stock In the bonded warehouses at 200.000.000 gallons , the- In crease of the tnx from 'M cents to $1 10 n Ballon will put cxnctly $10.000,000 Into tin , pockets of the Whisky trust. The 200,000- UW gallons will be taken out of bond nml the duty paid at the present rate. When that duty Is paid the government revenue from whisky will be practically nothing for two years. The annual product Is nboul 100,000,090 gallons. Tlmt Is moro than enough to supply the present demand. The treasury will get a big lump soon from whisky duties , JISO.000,000 , If the whole bonded stock bo withdrawn. Then , for two years or more , the whisky tux would bring in nothing , or next to nothing. Hut the $40,000,000 Is not the only gratuity Riven by the senate to the Whisky trust. The bonded period , three years under the existing law , Is made eight years by the senate ; that Is , the trust gets five years more from the government before being obliged to pay the tax. All this time thu whisky IS Improving and the Whisky trust is saving Interest. At $1.10 a gallon the Interest at 1 per cent would be ) . ! cents a gallon. On 100.000,000 gallons the Interest would be $1,810,000. This sum the senate virtually gives to the Whisky trust every year for live pears. In other words , be sides making a direct donation of $10,100,000 to the Whisky trust , It saves that thrifty concern In live years Interest to the amount of $2I'JOO,000. We have reckoned the In terest at only 4 per cent , though 4'/4 nnd S would be nearer the true figures. The senate , thenj has sweetened the Whisky trust as follows : ISy direct girt JIH.OW.OOl Iy Interest saved 21,2)0,000 ) ! G 1,2)0,000 ) No wonder there Is a blissful feeling In the Peorla region.

Massachusetts has a law requiring the publication of a statement of election ex penses. It seems that the cost In the state ot the national election In lb'J2 was over $300,000 , and that a number of can didates contributed from $7,000 to $13,000 each. According1 to the returns $ S" ,000 was spent In torchlight processions , $50C < X > for naturalization of voters and $30,000 for carringe hirer-"A law jwssed this year will prevent any further expenditure In Massa chusetts for the naturalization of voters. From these figures In one .state the aggre gate cost of a presidential campaign In all the states may be figured up. Our long presidential campaigns cost even more than this Indirectly by their general effect on business.

When the sen ate met today , and after the transacting of some routine business , the resolution Intro duced by Senator Peffcr yesterday was laid before the senate. Mr. Peffer discussed his resolution , which looks to the government control of the railways nnd coal fields and the adoption of the doctrine of a single tax. He appealed to senators to listen , for while he was not a prophet nor the son of n prophet , nor an alarmist , yet ho had time nnd time again called the attention of the country to what seemed to him to bo within the range of an ordinary man's vision the public dan ger. All his propositions related to ono fundamental error which the country had fallen Into the danger of allowing a few men here and a few men there to usurp governmental functions. All public functions should be exercised by government olflcers. He referred to Debs ns a man ot whom the country heard a great deal lately , but of whom It was likely to hear very much more before long. Mr. Poffer said that when the Pullman company established what the people of the world thought to bo an ideal community. In which all should have equal rights and none special privileges , every one commended It for Its philanthropy. But the charges for rent and for the necessaries of life were deducted from the men's monthly pay and when ther wages were reduced the men submitted , but nsked that their rents and taxes be reduced , but found they were In the power of a corporation without a soul , until finally they came to the conclusion they might as well starve In support of their rights as in filling the coffers of Pullman. lie referred to .the arrogant attitude of Pullman and of the Pullman officials and read from this morning's papers dispatches of the interview of the Chicago aldermen with Vice President Wlckes , during which the latter reiterated and reiterated : "The Pullman company has nothing to arbitrate. " Whether It was right for the A. R. U. to strike In sympathy and refuse to haul Pullman cars It was not his purpose to urgue , but the ominous situation confronted the country and it was our duty to deal with It. Mr. Hawlcy Inquired whether Mr. I'effer did not know the railroads vtre under obligations to haul the cars. Mr. Peffer replied the railway companies ivore under no more obligations to Pull man than Pullman was to the railways , but this was no time to talk of contracts between Pullman and the railway companies ind he was urprlsed that a senator who had 10 Often championed the cause of the workingmen - ingmen should talk of such things. Mr. Peffcr proceeded to arraign congress or Its defense of monopolies and Us stand igalnst the people. Ho did not wonder sometimes that there was a growing feei ng against tlio congress at Washington , nnd .hut some wished to abolish the senate. Ho vould go a step further , and besides second- ng an effort to abolish the senate , hovould ibollsh the house of representatives and mve the country governed by ono man 'rom each state. Senator Davis , speaking of the Kyle reso- ulion. said It was put In at a tlmo when he troubles In the west were In progress or the purpose of making the United States partner in the lawlessness. The stilke rew from a strlko to a boycott , n boycott o a riot , and now to nn Insurrection. Ho lescribed the various acts of lawlessness nd said Kyle's resolution was to take away I ho power of the United States to punish i uch gross acts of violence. If the acts of lolenco had been committed on the great f ikes or the high seas It would have been 1 ilrncy and punishable by death. The sen- tor from Kansas had suld the troops should 10 withdrawn , but ho had not given n sug- estlon of what would protect life and prop- rty. Debs could not do so It he was given . ull power , no more than ho could restore ho cars burned by his men. The ship of : tale which two weeks ago was floating roudly without trouble , was now upon t roubled waters. Ilo would not speak of i , artles , but democrats , republicans and opullsts should unlto In restoring peace. General Gordon of Georgia followed In a rlef speech , saying that when a great city ras threatened with bloodshed anil lire any onator descended very low when ho talked party as did the senator from Kansas , ho woo which threatened was not sectional nd he spoke not from a southern standpoint , ut as a cltl/.en of this great nation , and he rgod that the law bo enforced. Senator Gordon finished by saying that . is heart felt for the blood that hail been led , but that was as nothing compared to the ride of the republic. The sons of those ho made It would save It , bo the cost hat It would. Loud applausa on the floor lid In the galleries greeted the senator as took his scat , unchecked for several sec- : nds by the vice president's gavel. I Senator Daniel offered a substitute- the tl -solution ot Senator Potter endorsing the d ctlon of the president , declaring the United Slntos had the power to enforce the lnwa rep - * p < -ctlng the mall routes nnd Interstate com merce nnd to put down riots nnd nets of treason. There were many rails for n vote on the Daniel' * resolution , but Senator QalllnRcr nsked thai It go over , nnd thU was equiva lent to nn objection. The potoinco nppro- lirlntlon bill wns then taken un and passed. The senate then took up the diplomatic ap propriation hill oil motion of Mr. Blackburn.
