of taking, the findings of this board
as the basis of its tariff revision, the

,Enelaiid' Inconsistent Attitude
5 Those Americans who are falling
Into England's criticism of the
United States proposed policy of
exempting her, own ' coastwise ships
from tolls in the ' Panama ; canal,
should take time , to reflect upon
what Is and always has been Eng
land's policy in the Suez canal,
which though built by the French, is
practically as British in control as
the Panama will be American. Here
lsthe clause, in the Constantinople
convention of 1888. Joined In by Eng
land and all other nations concerned,
which governs the -outer of tolls
and management of tue Suez canal:
The canal shall be free and open to the
vessels of commerce and of war of all
nations observing these rules on terms of
entire equality, so that there shall be no
discrimination against any such nation,
or its citizens or subjects in respect of
conditions or charges of traffic; or oth
erwise. Such conditions and charges f
traffic shall be Just and equitable.
The 'Boston Herald, in a strikingly
impressive discussion of this subject,
says: . . .
It should be borne In mind that the
clause In the Hay-Pauncefote treaty on
which the British government rests 1U
case (agalnBt the United States in the
ranama is literally this same clause,
borrowed word for word from the Con
stantinople agreement.
So then if the remission' or ex
empting of tolls for the ships of the
United States in the Panama Is pro
hlbited, by the same treaty token
the remission or exemption of tolls
for British ships in the Sues is pro
hibited. And it Is a matter of record
and history 'that tolls have- been de
liberately repaid year ..after year to
Pritlsh vessels and no) others,,, w hich
Is the same in, effect as exempting
them in the tlTst place. And instead
6f the Suet 'canal under British con
trol being held open aa a natural in
ternational highway, as the Herald
points out, "It is actually a British
short-cut to India and Australia and
the whole world know it."
l it now appears., that most of
Britain's objections will be met' by a
readjustment that will run no risk
of offending treaty stipulations.

Omaha Typographical union No. 130
was chartered October 4. 188J, with the
following charter-members, one or two
of Whom are still in the land of the liv
ing: Edward Hartley B, Goodell, C.
Abernathy, W. A.unltles, W. Redfield.
A. J.'Mulleffand J. M- Stafford.;
' There had been a. printers" union pre
vious to the organization of. the. present
union ar.d possibly a second one, which
latter,' If it did exist at all, numbered Its
existence ty days rather than months. '
. Ita Membership.
So far. as numbers go, the membership
of Omaha Typographical urtlon Is' larger
than at any time In Its history. The
larger percentage ' of - its members are
printers Who have made Omaha, their
home for years, and ; many own their
own homes and are accounted among
the most desirable- of our loyal cltlsen
shlp. As compared with ihe past, those
addicted to-the exsslve use of intoxi
cants are very few. Whereas at a union
meeting eighteen or twenty years ago a
dozen' intoxicated persons ' might have
been present," today you see nothing' of
the kind. The meetings are carried on
In an orderly and business-like manner
and nothing occurs that might not hap
pen in the best regulated' organizations.
Its Accomplishments.
Omaha Typographical union has much
to Its credit that tho public knows noth
ing of. One of the most marked char
acteristics of its members Is the unself
ish manner in which aid is freely ex
tended to organisations in trouble, and
by far the largest item In its expense
account is that for donations. It Is a
well known fact that in time past this
organization has hindered its own prog
ress by leaving its problems temporarily
to extend a helping hand to another or
ganization. Omaha Typographical union has al
ways been In the forefront for anything
that looked to the betterment of the gen
eral public. It has a large share of the
credit due for laws enacted for the com
mon good, both locally and otherwise. Jt
has made and unmade men politically.
Omaha Typographical union has fur
nished many from its membership to take
their place in various callings, and the
writer does not recall one instance where
the training received In the typographical
union has not proven a public benefit
As a matter of fact, many a public man
points back with pride to" his connection
with suuh organizations. There are, of
course, brilliant men who never belonged
to a printers' union or- worked on a
newspaper, but show me a man who
has served In that capacity and you be
hold ' a success in his chosen line.
Omaha Typographical union has ' not
had a strike on the newspapers in over
twenty years, to the writer's personal
knowledge, 'and yet It has contracts with
Omaha's great dally newspapers-all of
them-and Is on the best of terms , with
their managements. Does not that alono
entitle it to a' high place In public
esteem? : ,
True, mistakes have been made, but In
the end they have proven stepping stones
to i better conditions. Like many other
organizations, the original idea for cre
ating a union was force the strike and
the boycott This Idea Prevailed and
grew, and is sometimes resorted to in
this age, but it Is rapidly giving way to
the more Invigorating , and satisfying
battlecry bf "Justice to all." , And here
again . the printing fraternity takes a
leading part. '
;When union were first organized the
definition for. "union" in Its narrow sense
was acceptedthat of combining inter
ests, the workers', interest. Today
"union" is beginning to be accepted in its
broader and correct sense the combining
of Interests all those Interests that go
to make up a business. In the printing
trade this would mean unionizing the em
ploye, the employer and the customer
the public. It is beginning to be under
stood that unless you have a union in all
that the broader definition permits the
real union hag not yet appeared. And
here also the printers are engaged In
a pioneer movement.
It used to be considered a breach of
union ettlquette to have anything to do
with an employer except to ask him to
"sign this scale." Why, not so long ago
h writer lunched with more than a
dozen employers at the Commercial club
and was as much at home as if he were
with his family.
Its Hopes for the Fntmre.
The future seems of no particular con
cern to the- great majority of members
In that respect printers are like most
others and are not apt to bother about
tomorrow so long as today's requirements
are supplied. Tet there are seers and
prophets in the organization who are
hopeful of the future and see the efforts
now being put forth for the common
good blend with that greater and uni
versal effort In bringing about the
brotherhood of man the reign of the
Golden Rulewhen men will no longer
plan and scheme to deprive another of
his lust dues, but rather take pleasure In
working to bring about so desirable and
profitable a condition.
END OF THE AMERICAN EEVOLUTION
By Eev. Thomas B. Gregory.
The last battle of the revolutionary
war was fought at Blue Lick, Ky., 130
years ago today August 20, 1783.
England died hard, and in ways that
were far from being In strict keeping with
International law
international law tried to postpone the
final surrender as long as It could. It
was In consequence of such tactics that
the battle of Blue Lick was fought.
On August 16, 1872, a force of several
hundred Canadians and Wyandotte In
dians laid siege to Bryan's Station, some
five miles from the present city of Lex
ington,, the capital or the famous blue
grass region. " ' ... v " ': " '
The next day a party of ISO frontiers
men, commanded by Daniel Boone, John
To-d and Stephen Trigg, hastened to the
rescue, notwithstanding the fact that
they were greatly outnumbered by the
enemy.
Upon rea'chlng the near neighborhood
of the station a council of war was held
to determine ' upon the line of 1 attack.
Boone's advice was to march silently up
the river and fall upon the rear of the
enemy, while, at the same time, the main
attack should be delivered In front. .
Unfortunately, this sensible advice was
spoiled by , the : rash action of a major
named McGary, , who dashed hls. borse

not cowards -follow me.", , Qi course. Mo

HOW THE MIGHTY HAVE FALLEN
What Twenty Yean Have Done to the Populist Party.
" " Kansas City Journal (rep). 1
Tears start and the heart beats a
solemn requiem to 'dead memories when
w read of the eight delegates to the
populist "national convention" who met
In St Louis the other day and argued
six hours over a platform. The pathos
of this ."national convention" is deep.
From a movement of militant activities
that once Sent representatives and sen
ators to Washington, elected governors
and had a more or less formidable can
didates for the presidency; the dwindling
populists now hold their "national con
vention" in a hall bedwom and pick at
the wreckage , of dead hopes.
The "gathering", at St. Louis Is rend
ered sadder-by the thought that prac
tically all the glowing "issues" of the
past are now appropriated by the bull
moos and the democrats. f With melan
choly loyalty to tradition the popullbt
"national convention reanirmed tne
platform of K8a with a number of new
planks, one being , the "recognition of
the Chinese republic." It Is a far cry
back to the populist platform of 1892.
A great many things have happened
since then. . One by one those old
populist planks have been stolen and all
that was left last spring went into the
Roosevelt "confession of faith." For the
populists to "reaffirm" their original plat
form: is much like a feeble old man re
affirming the golden .dreams of a far
off youth. The one bew demand is "re
cognition of the Chines republic." And
here', Is something - that seems to have
been overlooked by the , other parties.
Even Roosevelt forgot to "recognize" the
Chlnesse republic, but that may be . ex
plained on the theory that the colonel
does not hope to get any votes from the
Chinese. It the Chinamen in this country
had votes the colonel doubtless would be
a zealous champion of their "rights"
In China. , . ;
