BoId Train Robbery.
OMAHA, June 22d.-A sleeping
car on the Chicago and Rock Is
land train, which arrived here this
morning from Chicago, was robbed
last night by two thieves during
the run from Wilton Junction to
Des Moines, Iowa. The robbery
was not discovered until about
daylight. The thieves entered the
car at Wilton at S.45 and left 1t at
Des Moines after midnight. Among
the passengers robbed was Mr..
Neigh, Of New York, en- route to
California, who lost $3.50 and his
baggage checks. Two Harvard
College students, en- route home to
California, lost 500, and Lieuten-
ant Bourk, Aid-de-Camp on Gen.
Crooks staff, lost $40. These were
the principal losses, some of the
other passengers being plucked
for small amounts. The pocket
books were rifled of their
contents and thrown back into
the berths. The thieves were
very adroit operators. but they
seem to have been very hurried in
their work or else they would have
robbed every passenger In the car,
which was about two-thirds full.
Some of the passengers, especially
those bound for San Francisco, were
very we'll fixed in q financial way
and the thieves might have secured
much larger amount than they
did had they made a clean sweep.
No clue has yet been obtained as to
their whereabouts.

Don't Call a Man a Liar.

Never tell q man that he is a liar
unless you are certain that you can
lick him; for, as general thing,
when you say that it means fight.
l have arrived at this conclusion
through sad experience. l know
that it is not safe 10 give the lie to
a muscular Christian. 1 did once;
lam sorry for it now, as l never
grieyed for anything else in the
whole course of my life.
We were standing on the side
walk In front of the club when 1
made the statement, talking poll
tics; and men who talk politics,
and get angry over it, are, to put it
mildly, lunatics, or else want an
office. This man made an asser-
ton, touching the fair fame of my
favorite candidate, which I be-
lieved to be untrue. 1t is probable
that if it had been as true as it
was false should have taken the
same course; because, you under
stand, a man has no sense
who talks politics anyhow.

but it is all the same. 1 want

mental eye.
1 mildly suggested that a man
who would make such a statement
as that was lost to all sense of
shame and would be guilty of any
base crime.
He disagreed with me on that
point. AS for himself he never
made statement except upon the
most ample proof. My candidate
was the meanest man unhung.
1 told him he lied. 1 have been
kicked by mule; have fallen out
of second story window on harl
pavement; eaten green persim-
mons; heard Miss Blow read poetry
for two hours and q half; skated;
hunted; rode sharp.backed horse
of mustang parentage, an adept in
the art of "bucking;;" suffered grief
of various kinds, and still chung to
life; but all these are a feather in the
balance as compared with the lit
tie word liar.
Immediately after saying it sat
down-not in the way people usu-
ally sit down. sat on the rim Of

ing when / made use of the express

wish 1 knew how to do it, and
would have propelled myself away
from that spot Immediately If had
possessed this happy faculty. 1
proceeded to bring myself to per-
pendicular, fully intending to use
the means of locomotion which ma
ture had given me; but when l
came right side up something
ran up against my nose, and as l
felt rather tired, l sat down on my
other ear. like change-it is
too monotonous doing the same
thing over and again.
Somebody took my large friend

he was gone. have concluded to
look twice at man before 1 give

finds himself only one remove from
starvation, tariff and all, the man
uiacturer has lost his hold on these
men. They are ready to quit vot-
ing the Republican ticket and to
rush into any new movement,with
the single result of largely
Strengthening the. Democratic
ticket.
Throwing California out of the
count, the Democratic party will
enter the next Presidential cleo
ton with the old Southern States
and the State of West Virginia,
certain. All it will need to win
the next Presidential election will
be New York and Indiana, or
Pennsylvania and Indiana, while
the probability is that we shall
carry both of those States, with at
least half a dozsn more. If all
the workingmen are segregated in
party by themselves it will only
result in still further weakening
the Republican party. In Califor-
MIA the preponderanoe of Working
men has been Democratic; in
Pennsylvania and other manufac-
turing States it has been largely
Republican. 1t was in Allegheny
county, Pennsylvania-the region
of iron, glass and cotton workers
that, in a total vote of forty thou'-
and, fourteen thousand majority
was rolled up for Grant. That day
is over, and the Democratic party
Is the beneficiary of the change,
and it will, none the less, be the
beneficiary of any energizirg OF
the labor movement which may
result from sympathy with the tri-
umph of the Workingmen of Cali
fornia, should such an effect be
noted. The politics Of the busi-
ness man and farmer will remain
the same as always; for, fortunate
ly, in the East and South, at least,
the Democratic party has always
been the determined foe of the in
science of corporations and aggre-
gated wealth.

SAN FRANCISCO, June 22d.-A
gentleman from Petaluma familiar
with the political affairs ofSonoma
county, states that the Working
men in that county voted for the
delegates at large nominated by
the county committee wing of the
Workingmen's party. Many OF
these are the same as those on the
Kearney ticket but the whole of
the delegates at large for the First
Congressional District and several
from each of the other districts are
different. AS the Workingmen in
Sonoma threw about 1000 votes
this fact becomes an important
factor in determining the status of
the Convention.

The Real Strugx'e.

There can be no question but that
sentimental politics have been re-
tired from the field in the United
States. All parties will hereafter
act on the motto of the poetical
free .booter, "He may take who
hath the power. and he may keep
who can" In this lamentable
phase of our politics, introduced by
the Eight to Seven Electoral Com
mission. it becomes interesting to
know just what the Democracy
may expect. They will have the
next Senate of the United States by
a large majority. We find the fol-
lowing speculations as to the COM
plexion of the next House of Rep
resentatives in the New York San
of June 18th:
When the present Congress met,
on the 18th of October, the Demo-
Gratis had numerical majority of
thirteen in the House Of Repre-
sentatives, since increased from
contested seats, and the Republi'
cans had a majority of five in the
States. In view of the possibility
of the election of President being
thrown into the next House, much
interest has been excited as to
whether this latter majority could
be retained in its present hands.

States stood as follows:
