R%EPUDIATED.

Political demagogues and design
ing impostors may sometimes sue
coed in decoying working men into
their meshes, but their success is
usually of brief duration.
The attempt of a few broken
winded and played out political
bummers 0 fboth parties to inagurate
a movement i'm the name of the in
dustrial classes has already received
its death blow.
The exposure made by the BEE
of the character and objects of the
impostors engaged in this move
ment have opened the eyes of the
real workingmen, and they have
promptly and unequivocally re-
pudiated the concern.
The Nebraska Trades Assembly,
composed of the various mechanical
trades unions in this city, has Off
cially pronounced the cooperative
Council of Protectors of Industry q
sham and a fraud. The resolutions
passed by the Trades Assembly are
published elsewhere. The conclu-
sions arrived at are eminently sound
and honorable.
They proclaim in most emphatic
language, that the mechanics and
workingmen of Omaha, do not pro-
pose to become the dupes of a gang
of unprincipled wire pullers, whose
only aim is to organize a pool for
political spoils. Omaha working
men are, therefore, not inclined to
pull the political chestnuts out of
the fire, for these designing dema-
gogUes.
They have no faith in the pro-
LESSONS of men who have spent
half of their time in the beer gar>
den and the other half i'm talking
politics. They know very well that
political reform cannot come
from men who have, for years,
been the intimate associates of the
most corrupt political scalawags in
the State. While they know that the
industrial classes are suffering from
many grievances, they cannot be
induced to look for relief to men
who have long since lost all public
confidence as political leaders.
Some good men have doubtless
been induced to join their organiza-
ton under various pretences. To
them the action of the Trades As
sembly should be convincing proof
that they are in the wrong boat.
Instead of becoming Protectors OF
Industry, they have become Protec-
tectors of Political bummerism, and
no real mechanics oil farmer call
possibly expect to gain anything
from such association.

THE electric telegraph is the most

THE electric telegraph is the most
marvellous production of the nine
teenth century. Just thirty years
ago i'm June, IS44,the first telegraph
ic message was transmitted over
the experimental line from Balti-
more TO Washington. Twenty years
ago the first practical experiment
was made i'm submarine telegraphy
by the British Government i'm lay
ing a cable i'm the British channel
between Dover and Calais. Six
teen years ago the first attempt was
made to connect Europe aud Amer
lea by telegraph, and owing to the
failure of that project every practi-
cal electrician on both sides of the
Atlantic became firmly convinced
that ocean telegraphy was imprac-
ticable.
1t will be only nine years i'm Au-
gust since the daring effort of Cyrus
w. Field to put America into in
Simultaneous communication with
Europe, was crowned with success.
Since then ocean telegraphy has
made such wonderful progress that
only one more link remains-be-
tween California and Japan-to
complete the electric girdle around
the world.
Only yesterday another link in
the great electric chain was success
full forged. Brazil. clasped hands
with Britannia, and Don Pedro con-
graduated Victoria upon the auspi-
cious event.
And this reminds us of a histori-
cal incident, connected with our
personal experience. In 1852, while
located at the War Department, in
Washington, as a member of the
u. s. Military Telegraph Corps,
We conceived the project to inaugu-
rate a system of telegraphy in Bra
I'll. Through Baron Lisboa, then
Minister Plenipontentiary of Brazil
at the national capital, We
made our proposition TO
the BRAZILIAN Government. That
proposition vas placed before
the Brazilian Congress, and by
them taken under Amusement. In
due time, Baron Lisboa transmitted
the following reply:
BRAZILIAN LEGATION,
WAsHINGToN, Feb. 10, 1868.
E. Roseepatcr, L. S. Military Ts!e-
graph, War Department:
SIR-Your proposition to construct
a system of telegraph lines for the
Brazilian Government has been un-
der consideration 10y our Congress,
and / am Instructed TO inform you
that onr Geographic lines only ex-
tend from the Capital at Rio Janiero
TO the Emperor's palace, some five
miles distant. a Geographic engin-
eer would therefore be unnecessary,
especially since the Government
has no intention to make more eX-
tensive experiments. Should they
eventually decide 10 construct such
lines, we shall be pleased to confer
with you. Respectfully,
NJ. LISBoA.
A few years later, when Brazil
declared wal against Paraguay, the
government discovered that the
failure to accept our proposition in
volved an expense of several hun
.red millions in money and thou
sends of lives. Since then Brazil
has constructed thousands of miles
Geographic lines, and the COM
of the European cable put
ler upon equal footing with other
civilized nations. |

What 1t Takes to Make a Newspa

used in a newspaper the size of the
Eagle at 600,000-i. e., the actual

We suppose few people think Of the
printing trade as one Of the most exact
and particular of all the handicrafts,
but it is. In making type variations
that might be allowed in the finest ma
chinery would render the type useless.
1t is very rarely that type furnished by
two separate foundrics can be used to-
gether without a great deal of trouble,
though they try to make it after the
same standard. We read once in a
while of a wonderful piece of

COMMERCIAL MATTERS.

St. Paul Produce Market. Aug, 81,
There is no new wheat in the market
to-day, and buyers for shipment quote
it nominally at Soc. The offer of the
Minneapolis millers to pay higher than
the Milwaukee prices still holds good.
The prices Of coarse grains and pro-
duce generally remain as quoted in our
edition of Saturday.
Butter is very scarce and eggs have
declined to 10 to lie dozen.

main good, but there will probably be
change tomorrow or next day, as
large invoices are on the way to this

govern. They are born to that po-
sition. hold it through life whether
competent or incompetent, and trans
nit it their children along with their
heirlooms and bloodhounds. They
may not be able to distinguish law
from passage Of the Koran or an cpl
taph, yet they are lawmakers by birth
and position, by legal right and title,
and ':by the grace Of God.''
These men are also born to enor-
nous fortunes, almost without exccp-
ton. And what is to hinder? Hav-
ing in their hands the source of all title
to property--the law making power, ,can
it be wondered that they use
it for their own aggrandizement? Being
born legislators, they are also born
public plunderers and cormorants.
They reap where they have not sown,
they gather the fruits of the labors and
tolls of others, and squandcr them too
in drunkenness and riotous living. They
claim that whatever the law gives them,
whatever they hold by legal right and
title is morally and in good conscience
theirs, notwithstanding the fact
that they themselves framed the
laws : for the very purpose
of reaching for, and possessing them
selves of the property that rightfully
belongs to others. They do not claim
to be more righteous than the law, but
they might have made the law more
righteous than it is.
Seeing and appreciating the great
wrong and injustice of this system of
legislation system that places all
wealth and property under the control
of a perpetual monopoly Of law makers,
our people. in attempting to avoid this
terrible evil have invited another of al
most equal magnitude, by swinging to
the opposite extreme. Instead of a
tenure Of office running from genera
tion to generation, and from century
to century, we elect for
thirty days! and then because
the inexperienced legislator does not in
that time prove himself thoroughly
competent to give just and wise laws to
the people-the most difficult thing
ever undertaken by mortal man-we
kick him ont at the end Of his thirty
days in the utmost disgust. Was there
ever such folly committed by.intclligent
beings!
Extremes arc always ,i;:5 "erous. and
in jumping from one extreme 20 its op-
positc, we rarely, if ever, bvttcr our
selves. There IS always a happy mean
f We could but find it. We do not
often find it sor the very :ea*on that We
do rot seek it. Wherever we find gre
vious wrong and injustice VIC fancy that
the further We can get away from them
the surer we will be to find right and
justice. This is a grieyous mistake and
most gricvously do we answer for it.
The hereditary tenure and the thirty
day term are to the extreme opposite
ends of the pole. This mischief and
injuries arising from the former,
do not probably arise from
the latter; but the latter is
productive of quite as serious wrongs,
which do not flow from the former. Let
us seek for that term that shall COM
bine the most of the advantages of the
extremes, and avoid the most of their
disadvantages.
We have already made this article
long enough and will defer the further
consideration Of this subject to another
occasion.

TIE Cannon Falls Echo complains

very strangely that poor and imperfect

TIE Waseca News, in reply to let

company would more than pay the
whole cost OF constructing and equip
ping their road if the lands were sold at

The st. Paul Press thcrcupon rushcs
to the defence Of Mr.. Drake with the
following argument:

then What On earth will it do with the

pcrches upon the IN. esse horn then the
Press will gore it to death with the

ing for the News to do but to throw
up the sponge, because if
it should even escape this fate, there
would still be the mighty gulf between
the sspotential value,' and the "actual

would surely fall and break its neck, if
it attempted to cross.
We do not wonder that after getting
off this mighty argument, the Press
should say, eve have no space for fur
