TRIUMPHS NOT UNNOTICED BY GOD
Arc Oftrti the 1'ropnrntlon if the

At Castellar Street Presbyterian church
nev. Dr. J. M. Wilson preached from the
text , "Thy servant slew both the lion and the
bear. " Said he :
The eleventh chapter of Hebrews contains
a record of the great heroes of. faith. Paul
holds before the people a list of great and
renowned men to encourage them to run with
patience the race set before them. H Is
not strange that he mentions Noah , who by
faith saved himself and his family. He
rpeaks of Abraham and Moses , who chose
rather to suffer affliction with the people of
God than enjoy the pleasures of sin for a
season , and of Gideon , who through God
gained victory over the Mldlanltes.
God does not overlook things done by His
people In an obscure way. He drew attention
to what was accomplished by faith in obscure
places. Head the wonderful works of Christ
In feeding the 5,000 and stilling the tempest
on the Galilean sea. In the wilderness He
was hidden away from men. Amid the
agonies of Gethscmana He wag only Imme
diately surrounded by three disciples. In
silent solitude great' men fight the fight of
faith In obscure places.
WHEUB CHAIlACTKIl IS TESTED.
These victories In obscure places are the
greatest tests of character. David , a shep
herd amid the fields of Bethlehem , goes
forth to battle. In his work as a shepherd
nobody saw him. He was a sentinel at the
post of duty. Go forth to fight In obsctire
places. It Is a real test of character.
All these victories In obscure places are
preparatory to bringing out what Is In us.
With sling nnd stones David went against
Gollah of Gath. In tending his fathers
flocks he was prepared for higher work
awaiting him. He went forth In the strength
of God and overcame. He believed God waste
to be depended upon. Ho laid' hold of God
by faith. Here he ranked along with Abra
ham , Moses and other heroes of faith. He
took former victories with the lion and bear
hs ground of another victory. There Is
strength In moral character. Children pat
tern after father and mother. Good parents
beget good children as a rule.
These victories In obscure places are ground
of divine promotion. Joseph was faithful In
the dungeon , In Potlphar's house In all the
work given him In minor positions. He was
brought to a place of trial next to Pharaoh ,
king of Egypt. To Daniel God gave the
spirit of understanding and he was placed
next to Darius , who vas elevated to the
throne after Belshazzar bad been slain.
UNDER GOD'S EYH ONLY.
Lay hold upon the advantages by whlcli
wo rise and triumph In the small places ol
life. Young men go Into a city away from
former companions nnd friends. They arc
tempted to test things for themselves. Thej
are Invited to sin. Will they htand the tcsl
when no eyex arc upon them but these ol
God ? In positions of trust be faithful. Whal
Is right Is the rule when no eyes are upor
us. Young women , yield not from a hlgl
ecnso of honor , purity , truth and goodnes ;
to ajslnful current ot fashion , sin and Idls
ness.
It Is a special advantage to meditate npor
and Investigate things. Find out what li
right. Find out about men. God said t <
Moses : "Put thy shoes off thy feet , for tin
place where thoit ctandest Is holy ground. '
Come down and deliver Israel. Bring then
out of bondage Into the liberty of the chll
dreii of God. Be strong In tlin Lord am
the power of His might. Trust In the Lori
and do right. Do and tru < t.
On the coast of Africa a ship struck i
rock , February 27. 18.12. On beard were 47 :
soldiers and 1G2 women and children. Tin
boats were turned over to ii ? women am
children. As the ship went down a partlni
cry was hoard , "Faithful , believing , doing. '
Do right If It cost you your life. Trust li
the Lord , and He will bring about the rlgh
results. _

Local SlnUlnn KiiuilH \ l In Shape t <
1'rollt liy the \ < -iv Law.
Among tlio laws that came into being a
the Instance of the last legislature was hous
It *
roll No. CS , which authorizes the treasurer o
any county , township , city council or schoc
board to Invest thn sinking fund In reglstere
warrants Issued by county , town , city o
school board authorities. The object of th
measure Is to save a part of the Interest o
7 'per cent which Is now drawn by regltere
warrants. As this rate Is considerably In ex
cess of the rate that Is obtained on th
sinking tund , the advantage of applying th
funds to this purpose Is evident.
The new law will go Into effect August 1
but for the present at least It will be of n
avail In Douglas county. Neither Dougla
county , the city of Omaha , nor the schoc
board of this city Is now the proprietor o
a sinking fund which Is available for taklnj
up warrants. The county has no rcgula
sinking funJ. There Is a fund which Is dps
Ignatei as a bond sinking fund , but the lev
Is only suinclunt to raise enough to pay th
semi-annual Interest on the twenty-yea
bands. No sinking fund has yet been ere
ated to pay the principal of these bonds.
The Board of Education Is In the sam
condition. The twenty-year bands which ar
now outstanding ng.ilnat the school dlstrlc
amount to $200.000 , but as none ot them wll
be due until IflOS no sinking fund will h
created until 1893.
The city Is the proud possessor of
linking fund , but Its present condition I
such that It Is not available for the purpose
of the new law. The sinking fund of th
city Is nearly $100,000 overdrawn , accordln
to the figures of City Treasurer Dumont.

The Hace Question nnd the Law The legls-
ature of New York recently passed a law
.aklng It a punishable oflense to dlscrlmlmte
gainst any person on account of Ills color at
ny hotel , restaurant , theater or othsr public
lace of entertainment. Ifpon this many cdl-
ors nnd speakers have given vent tj the old
hroshcd-out talk that no law can change
ublle sentiment , that It Is useless to legls-
ate upon social matters , and BO on. nut
hcso remarks are not at all In point. There
s a distinction between matters of right and
cntlment. As long ns this country Is true to
ts traditions of freedom it remains the in-
llenable right of every human beliiK , cf
hatever race or color , to enjoy the privileges
f all public carriers nnd lugtclrljs nnd the
ke. Because some people object to the r.e-
ro ns a fellow traveler Is no reason why the
alter should be mnclo to rile In a "Jim-
row" coach. Suppose ( lie African s'.ould ob-
cct to the white man ? Hatn't one side as
oed right to protest ns the other ? Blmply
ecausc for a century or so wo have put n
trong upon an unfortunate race raises no
resumption as to the legal or moral right to
esplso It. The New York law ts good com-
ion law , good common sense , and good com-
non Christian civilisation.
The English Election The revolt of the
Irltlsh against tbe liberal party bids fair to
e pronounced. The secret of it all la thnt
o party of reform can hope to succeed with-
Ut moral Issue. When great moral ques-
ions stand out clear the progressionists win.
Vhen mere expedlentlal Issues nre at stake
ho battle Is to the conservatives. The sym-
athlos of most Americans nre with the llb-
rals ; but strangely enougli ( reactionary sen-
Iments prevail loday even on this side .of
he Atlantic. This Is not good weather
or radicals. The English people , too , arc
veary of the Irish question. While Ireland
as wrongs , without question , yet her cause
.as been so badly championed by extreme
nd foolish friends , nnd has been so perilously
nngled up with Jesuitism , that the strong ,
mrd sense of this English nation has become
omewhat cloy of It.
Civil Service Heform President Cleveland
3n the 13th of last month signed an order
vhlch hn's the effect df placing 2,500 em
ployes out of partisan control nnd under the
ules of civil service. .This Is a striking In
dication of the success of the civil service
dea. The old spoils system has never had
any defenders except place hunters and in-
crested politicians. It has been a blot upon
our government. Surely and swiftly the
public mind Is yielding to the reasonableness
md Justice of civil service. .

IN THE GRAND ARMY OF LABOR
Strength of Unionism in Omaha as Tested
by the Hard Times.
DEATH OF SEVERAL SMALL ORGANIZATIONS
Ilnril MnKi-r to Mnliiinlu the Union *
if the lli-tnll ClorkM n nil the llur-
liei-H HONN mill .lourni-.vnn.-n
m Mnke 11 Trent ? .
Within the last year not more than half a
dozen labor organizations In Omaha wcril to
the wall , and most at these were the ones
with the smallest memberships. '
At present there nre forty organizations In
this city. Of this number ten are under the
jurisdiction of the Knights of Labor , the
other thirty being federated and International.
The estimated and probable membership of
them all Is 4,000 , and nearly all of them have
money In their treasuries.
That unionism has been a benefit to workIngmen -
Ingmen In Omaha who have practiced It Is
beyond question. Since the organization of
Central Labor union eight years ago there
have been very few difficulties bstwecn em
ployers nnd employes which have not been
satisfactorily adjusted.
Nearly nil the Important officers of the Ne
braska State Federation of Labor are citi
zens of Omaha. This organization came Into
existence two years ago , and promises to be
come no small factor In the economic condi
tion of urban worklngmen. At Its last meet
ing It decided to receive delegates from
farmers' alliances.
Two of the hardest classes to keep organ
ized are the retail clerks and the barbers.
There Is apparently no good reason why the
retail clerks of Omaha should not get to"-
gether again and stay together. Hut there U
little hope for the barbers uniting on union
principles BO long as the majority of them
occupy the position of both employer and
employe. _
HorKCHlifioi-N MuUc mi Agreement.
Recognizing the virtue In the principle of
co-operation , Master HorEcshoers' Protective
association , No. 33 , and Journeymen Horse-
sheers * Local union , No. 19 , have cntereJ
nto an agreement for the ensuing year
tVlilch is calculated to settlcMhe wage ( ] ues-
lon between these two organizations wlth-
ut recourse to the boycott or lockout.
Under the terms of this agreement the em-
iloyers promise to maintain good wages , and
ho employes promise to uphold fair profits
o the employers. "t'or , " It has been asked ,
'unless the employers receive living prices
liow Is It possible for them to pay living
ivages ? "
It Is not the object of this conjunction ,
he co-operators claim , to form a combination
and make the public pay more for horse
shoeing , but to keep prices from going any
ewer , and to prevent further reducing of
ho earnings of skilled labor.
A prominent provision of the agreement
s that members of the masters' association
shall not * employ any journeyman unless he
bo a member of the journeymen's union , and
hat no Journeyman shall work for any em
ployer not a member of the association. An
other provision Is that a committee of seven
shall bo appointed from each organization
and confer once a month , to Investigate any
rouble which may arise between employers
and employes nnd endeavor to arrange the
amo fairly and peacablyv
The old scale of wages Is continued , $3
and $3.50 per day of nine hours.
Members of both bodies feel satisfied with
the agreement , and are of the opinion that
their example can be followed by other or-
; anlzatlons with conflicting Interests with
profit to all concerned.

The committee appointed by the Central
Labor union to make arrangements for ths
celebration of Labor day K. S. Fisher , J.
D. Schtipp , W. S. Sebrlng , J. L. Dalrd and
August Deerman met yesterday at Knights
of Labor hall. These gentlemen have re
ceived propositions from the managers of
Courtland beach and Tiuser's park , but will
consider offers from other picnic points In
the city before deciding , where the celebra
tion will be held. Sub-committees on speak
ers and other details will bs appointed In a
day or two.
The regular monthly meeting of Omaha
Typographical union No. 190 , held yesterday
afternoon , drew out a large attendance. In
addition to the election and Installation of
new officers there was other business on the
program of special Importance. tThe new

The cigarmakers are booming the union

Union picnics seem to be unpopular this
summer.
A good many railway men of the different
classes expect work when "crops begin to

J. C. Darnell , auditor of the International
Cigarmakers union. Is In the city checking up
the books of Cigarmakers union No. 93.
The Omaha Street Railway Benefit asso
ciation has not yet decided to burden Its
business meetings with the question of keep
ing up or raising Its members' wages.
Any one deslrlng-a copy of the constitution
and by-laws of Central Labor union can ob
tain It from the secretary , K. S. Fisher , P. O.
box G70. The basis of representation In this
union is three delegates for each organiza
tion , and one additional delegate for every
fifty members or majority fraction thereof.
According to the American Pressman , pub
lished In this city as the national organ of
the Independent Printing Pressmen's union ,
the trouble that has been on some time be
tween that order and the International Typo
graphical union over the question of giving
the pressmen complete -autonomy Is about
at an end.

being a suspicious character , but a more
serious charge will probably be backed against
him tfidny. He Is supposed to be the man
who broke Into Adam Strachan's barn at 212-1
Cass street one night last Juno and stole a
quantity of clothes , pieces of harness anil
other property that was lying about. It IE
said that shortly after the barn was entered

There In trouble brewing between the Amer
ican Water Works company and the city coun
cil because the council claims that the water
works company Is not living up to Its con
tract regarding fire hydrants and pressure.
Not a great while < ego there was a fire In
the Second ward , Rod It was necessary to
lay a line of hose 2100ifeet } long. When the
water was turned on o stream about a foot
In length came from the nozzle , and the
firemen were compelled to carry water in
palls and throw on the flames. In this oU
fashioned way the blaze was finally exting
uished.
When the new council took hold last April
the bill of the water works company , about
$10,000 , was discussed , and It was decided to
do a bit ot quiet Investigating before the
bill was paid. A request was made of C. J.
Collins , local superintendent Of the American
Water Works company , for a chart showing
the location of fire hydrants nirJ the size of
mains. Collins declined to allow the council
or the chief of the nre department to have
a chart. City Engineer Deal WHS then sent
to Omaha and procured a sort of chart , and
It Is with this sketch that the quiet Investi
gation Is being made.
Friday afternoon Councllmen Dlanchard
and Walters Inspected every fire hydrant In
the city , and also decided the location of
hydrants could bo changed o as to benefit
the service.
In many places It was found that a six-
Inch main was used Instead of an eight-Inch
main. At the fire plug at Twenty-fourth and
H streets the main starts In with an eight *
Inch pipe and runs to Twenty-second and II
streets. There It Jumps Into a six-Inch main ,
which runs down Twenty-second street to
J street. There It taps an eight-inch line
which feeds eleven hydrants. On Twenty-
fifth street there Is a six-Inch line from I to
N streets , with a dead end at Kstreet. What
Is needed here Is a connection with the
Twenty-fourth street main for n feeder.
On Q 'street the main Is twelve Inches
from Twenty-fourth street to Thirty-third
street , then for a distance of 400 feet there
Is a six-Inch pipe , then a ten-Inch pipe.
Firemen say they cannot get any kind of
service with such piping'as that.
What U needed badly Is a good slxtccn-
nch auxiliary main on the west side and
pipes of the same slzo through the city.
.Slate IN AuriiliiHt Kefiiiiilliipr.
In speaking about the .special meeting of the
Hoard pf Education which has been called
for tonight to consider the $30,000 refunding
proposition Member Walter J. Slate said that
he had his doubts about the deal going
through. Six votes would be necessary. Mr.
Sl.-Ue said that he would do all ho could to
defeat the proposition.
"It Is nothing , " said Slate , "but a scheme
of the big property owners to get out of payIng -
Ing their share of the 20-mlll levy made for
school purposes. These fellows expect to have
bonds voted to pay the debts of the Uiard
and then unload their property before the
time comes to redeem the bonds. Ths peer
man who has worked hard to buy a little
home Is the one on whom the lurden wll
fall If this scheme goes through , while the
rich men will be made all the richer tt the
expense of the poorer people. "

Henry Sherman , tried to catch a moving
motor train at Twenty-fourth nnd E streets
last evening , and , missing his hold , wns
thrown to the pavement , receiving a severe
bruise on the forehead. Ho was trying to
.steal a ride Into town and first made an at
tempt to get on the , front car , when the motorman -
torman warned him off. Then he tried to
catch the rear cir , but could not get a secure
hold and fell. The train was stopped and the

"There are about l.GOO Grunt ] Army men
In Louisville , and all ot them and several
hundred others have been put on committees
to arrange the details of the coming national
encampment In that city , " said Adam At-
zlnger of Louisville to a lice man.
Mr. Atzlnger Is himself a member of the
committees on badges and entertainment. He
says that In the way of badges something
novel and significant will be furnished. Two
cannon which were In opposing batteries
and squarely faced eacll other at the battle
of Chlckamauga will be melted together , nnd
from the mixture plates will be struck off to
bo attached to each bit o ( trl-color. The
cannon were donated for this purpose by
the government.
"It Is the first time , " continued Mr. At
zlnger , "that the encampment has come
south , and we propose to make the occasion
a memorable one. We expect that while
there will be hosts of Grand Army people ,
their number will be almost equaled by that
of ox-confederates. H Is our Intention to put
all in one mammoth procession following the
stars and stripes. One hundred cattle to be
roasted stuffed for a barbecue are now being
fattened. We shall be much disappointed If
the attendance does not exceed that at any
previous encampment , and we are prepared
to take care of everybody who may come. If
the hotels of Louisville and of Jeffersonvlllo
and New Albany on the Indiana side of .the
river are Insufficient , we have made arrange
ments to furnish the school buildings In all
three cities wlthcots. "

No more attorneys will bo admitted to
practlpe by the district courts of this state.
The new law compels all prospective lllack-
stones to appear before the supreme court to
get their certificates.
A decided movement was made last winter
by a number of attorneys In Omaha for the
purpose of getting the law on this subject
altered to conform more nearly with the
practice In eastern states. To secure the
enactment of the new law a good many
stories were circulated concerning the history
of lawyers In the sand hills ot Nebraska who
had graduated from the humbler walks of
lite Into conservators of other people's prop
erty. The fact that many an attorney became -
came such because he was a general good
fellow and knew how to treat the bar com
mittee to the best to be found In town was
urged as a special reason why the grade
of the bar should be raised and all the
prospective lawyers ot the state placed on
an equal footing.
About five years ago a crazy man was ad
mitted to practice In Antelope county. He
had become a Justice of the peace In his
neighborhood and got the Idea that Provi
dence had destined him for a Rufus Choate.
A Justice of the peaca guide was about the
only law book he had ever owned , but armed
\\lth this he proceeded to the county scat
and demanded admission. For a solid hour
he was asked questions , to all of which he
gave answers readily , though they were all
totally Incorrect. He was , of course , not
recommended to pass , but became so Insistent
that he was allowed to become an attorney.
It cannot be said that any such abuses are
on record In Douglas county , at least of late
years , whatever may be true of earlier days.
Lately the examinations have been carried
on so rigidly that quite a number within the
past six months have failed to get Into the
fold by the good old method and will have to
try later on at the supreme court.
For years It has been the custom In Doug
las county to appoint a bar committee at the
beginning of each term from among the
leading attorneys. They were Instructed to
examine all applicants. About six years ago
Simeon Bloom , who served on the bir com
mittee for some years , says that the method
of written examinations was commenced ,
since which time there has been no complaint
of favoritism. The aggrieved applicant could
always secure himself by exercising an attor
ney's right and appeal.
A number of other attorneys were ques
tioned as to the need of the new law anil
united In saying that It would be of great
benefit In raising the standard of the profes
sion in Nebraska.
Probably three-fourths of the attorneys
it the bar came from other states with cer
tificates of admission. The early records
of the county , however , show that back In tha
50s and COs some of the present members
of the Omaha bar received their sheepskins
when Omaha was still a small town. The
last bar committee appointed consisted of
B. G. Burbank , J. W. Battln , W. L. Drew ,
P. A. Crape and M. R. Trauerman. They
will have no successors.

Tlio Northern Fanner mid tin- Fruit
HnlH.-i- HUH Now Fouiul the I'lner.
The characteristic northern and western
man was no sooner located In the south
than he began to experiment with a variety
of crops , and the result has bsen that he
has developed and , demonstrated the great
possibilities ot the rich soil and salubrious
climate ot that sectfon ot our common coun
try by the successful growing of wheat
oats , tobacco , corn , cotton , sugar cane , sorghum
ghum , strawberries , peaches , plums , pears ,
and every variety of vegetable. This Is no
longer an experiment , but an established
fact In southern agriculture. You no longei
ask , what .crops can be successfully grown
in the south ? "You know that anything al
most that IM marketable , grows there , ami
grows in abundance. One Mississippi uta
tlon shipped last season 3GO carloads of to-
matoss , and 220 carloads of other farm pro
ducts ; these shipments , It Is expected , wll
bo largely Increased tills season. Fruit and
vegetable growers in Central Mississippi art
adding new varieties to their already long
list of fruits and vegetables that pay a
profit. The ready access to tli2 markets of
the west , cast and south , that this sectlor
enjoys , is a very important factor to bo
considered by the Intending settlor.
The question is often asked as to how
many acres Is need.d for a successful fruli
and vegetable farm In the south. This de
pends somewhat on th3 number of workers
In a family. Our Judgment Is , however , that
a tw'enty-acre farm Is the model for the
southern fruit and vegetable place. This
can bo all worked and carefully worked , ani
the returns will be satisfactory , and the
tabor comparatively light. As for the cattle
likely to be kept on a small place , it must
b3 borne In mind that the forage plant
growing everywhere , has only to be cui
and saved In their season , and all coarse
fodder needed for the stock wjll he had
Thrc Is no snow on the ground for a long
winter , sheds are not needed for stock , and I
desired , cotton seed meal and cotton seed
hulls can be had at a low price. The schoo
advantages are excellent , the public schools
having an enrollment of about 328,000 , ant
within the last three years over 700 schoo
houses have been erected. The state makes
liberal provision for the school maintenance ,
The higher educational facilities are good ,
The State University stands high as an
educator. It Is a fact worthy of note that
the first chartered Institution for the colle
giate education of young women was lo
cated In Mississippi. It Is also worthy of
note that the first college for young women
established In the United States and main
tained at the public expense. Is located at
Columbus , Miss. Besides this .there are
several large educational Institutions estab
lished and maintained by different religious
denominations. It Is evident that there Is
no lack of educational opportunities In this
section of the country. The Intelligent en
quirer will find that the Investigation of the
superior advantages of the south and th ?
great fertility and accessibility of centra
Mississippi In particular , will disclose a
brighter prospect for Increasing and per
manent prosperity of this section and Ho
Inhabitants than shown by any other sec
tlon of this section. Wrlto for all Infer

And more than ever in
house-cleaning. Just
look over the list oi
things that you might
use soaps and powders
and fluids and what
not. Some of them don't pretend to help you as 'much
as Pearline ; some will injure paint , or surfaces , or fabrics ;
some are only meant to wash or clean certain things.
But with Pearline , you will save time and labor in clean
ing anything that pure water won't hurt. Not only can it
do no harm , but it saves useless and harmful rubbing.'M
