surplus labor tool of trade which is
just as necessary to the country as tools

Money to the nation is like oil to

be supplied to make the machinery run

national debt should be paid immedi-

TYpoGRAPHIcAL union No. 100, Of
Omaha, is mssting with the success that
has now become a common result of
united labor effort, in its war on the Bee
of that city. In their boycott on that
employer of "rats" it is assisted by the
Tailors' union, Trades Assembly, Plas-
terers, Carpenters, Bricklayers, Iron
Molders, Cigarmakers and Boiler Makers
unions. Truly in union is strength; and
in no movement is this better illustrated
than in the solid movements of organ

THE detective system of the country
has for long time ioeen regarded by
thoughtful men as acorrupt and danger
ous one and to those who do not regard
it in this light, the recent developments
in New York city have enlightened. 1t
has been discovered during che last week
or SO that the whole force of that city
has been in the pay cf a notorious. re-
eeiver of stolen goodi; and proof has
been shown that many crimes have been
committed by them wherein their pals
have been sent to the penitentiary and
they, the instigators and leaders, escaped
punishment and received reward for
their baseness. 1t is well known fact
that the public good is, under the most
favorable conditions, but a secondary
consideration with these human hounds,
and that can they pocset more BY letting
a criminal escape than they can by
bringing him to justice they never let
the opportunity pass. They concoct
more villainies and do more blackmail-
ing than any other class of rogues in ex-
istsnce. They are professional COM
Founders of felony there being but few
cases that they work OH but what money
can buy them off. They retard justice
and are source of security to every
rogue who has money. You will gener-
ally find them the bosom friends of
bunko steerers, blacklet,s and confidence
men, whose style of.adress end habits
they affect, and whose principles are 30
much on par that bhe same features
are possessed by all of them, They are
never employed only oil the idea that
at takes rogue to catch i'ogue can
old idea that is as falh.cious as many
others Of the same kind which spring
from a false education. Another bad
feature Of this private detectiyesyst is,
that any rich rogue can hire ii to do any
dirty work that he may desire, and let
the case be what it may, money is the
only factor that counts. If there is any
good at all in it, the poor cannot, in the
nature fof things, avail themselves of
the benefit, as money is the only oil that
will luhricate the machine SO that it will
work-thus any benefits arising, socially,
from it are received only by the rich to
the disadvantage Of the poor, ssit makes
all questions and dispates that arise be-
tween the two classes, ten times harder
for the latter. Now that these fellows
are hired in packs by rich corporations,
as q specie Of bloodhound, to hunt down
and intimidate honest labor, when seek
ing to better its condition, by iegitimate
means, the hand Of every wsge-earner
should be raised against the institution
and every reform and humane paper be
used to Danish the hounds from the land.

Me regret the differences Of opinion
that necessarily. arise in labor questions
ON account Of difference of education,
surrounding circumstances and locality
Of view, which causes jealous and sus-
picious feeling to arise among Jealous
supporters of the cause. The very fact
that men are in earnest, makes them
suspicious of the Intentions Of one
another when subject is discussed from
. different standpoint, this appears to
be the trouble with "Old Reliable" and
Section Hand"-both give proof Of
being honest and in earnest, but they
cannot agree in their mode of dealing
with the disease of which they treat.
Brothers: bear with one another; it is
impossible with our present opportuni-
ties, education and person. surroundings
that we can all think and act alike, but
we are thankful to say thai agitation Is
fast Fastening the time when we shall
dc 80, to great extent, and then will
come final success.
"The truth, the who9e truth, and
nothing but the truth" is best at all
tunes and although it may appear to
retard the cause, it IL only for time and
is crowned with mole abundant success
in the end. Truth can be arrived at,
with better proof of-its genuineness, by
hearing subject by different narrators
who differ somewhat in their ideas, than
by any other method; hence we must
not get angry with ore another when we
seeand understand things differently; and
to show malice and ii will to one who
differs from us, is bad judgment. We
can see no harm in letting it be known
that oppressed labor is out of -four and
that prospective star iation is near. AS
we look at it, we think the heart of
capital, If it has any is in no wise
effected in its detern nations or actions,
or cares whether strikers have the
wherewith to buy GOOD or not, when
they turn out on strike. Perhaps it is
best that they, and all others, should
know the true situation, and then il
labor should wake ur to its wrongs and
realize its strength tnd c:ush capital
history will record the justness of the
act. Hungry men are dangerous and
capital can be moved by fear more than
by any appeal to tie heart, knowing
when men strike while hungry that they
are in dead earnest; while if it is only
a question of endurance tho chances are
all in favor of the CAPITALIST

From the Old Man.


OMAHA, August 4.-Well. here I am in
the noisy, homely, busy, hilly burg on
the banks of the classic Missouri, l have
few spare moments and / will give the
readers of THE ENQUIRER compressed
account of how got here, and what
saw on the way. .st.... -..-...
We stopped first at North Platte, Ne
braska, the end of a division on the
Union Pacific, purely railroad town of
about 1900 souls, and the home of the
long-haired and long-winded celebrity,
Hon, William F. Cody, better known to
the common world as Buffalo Bill
North Platte is principally peopled by
attaches of the Union Pacific railroad
and business community which caters
to them and the people engaged in the
cattle business. Things are not as lively
there as they have been; the railroad
force has been considerably reduced
within the past six months, and the
shops are not working one-fourth the
force worked year ago. I was little
under the weather while at Platte, and
didn't stir around much, but my straYel-
ing companion" proved to be a irst-class
running mate" and did great deal Of
stirring up. On Friday night we clinched
our nails and got. the machine into work
ing order, with large force of skilled
hands. We shall stop there on our way
back and complete the work. AT pres
ent, cannot tell you in detail what was
done, but will in the near future.
: / stopped off at Grand Island, with a
view to combining business with pleas
ure. So far as immediate results are con-
cerned Lam sorry to say the combination
was composed principally of the latter
ingredient. l had the pleasure of pass
ing several hours and night with three
younger sprouts of the B. tree, whom
had not seen before in over dozen
years. 1 missed grasping by the hand
the proud author of my existence, owing
to his temporary sojourn at neighbors,
some fifty miles away.
Excuse the reference to family matters;
for when fellow hasn't seen his folks
for dozen or fifteen years he should be
allowed little privilege.
i Grand Island is Thorough agricultural
town; it is surrounded by some of the
finest farms on the continent, and the
waving fields of golden grain through
which the Union Pacific runs present a
strong contrast to the rocky, barren and
sandy surroundings of Denver. At one
time the Union pacific company had q
force of 400 steadily employed at Grand
Island, and there are full set of the
most completely-equipped shops there to
be found at any point on the road west
of Omaha, at present. Just now the en-
tire force in the shops is less than a
dozen, and there Is some talk that they
viii ere long be entirely abandoned. 1
met several exceedingly we'll posted
workingmen in Grand Island, and, as a
natural consequence OF their intelligence,
they realize the CALLING chains with
which they are bound by the competi-
tive wage-system.
I arrived in this city at o'clock this
morning, and have been skimming
around pretty lively ever since that

which ten organizations will be repre-

The Palouse Country.

In another place in this paper will be noticed
an advertisement of lands in what is known as
the Palouse country, in Eastern Washington
Territory. Below is printed letter from Ex-
Congressman Jorgensen, of Virginia, with
reference to this region of country, which he
has visited. The letter is as follows:
NEW YORK, March &c. 1854
e. III. MORRISON, Esq.
I'M Dear Sir: Referring to your letter asking my
opinion of the soil, climate ETC., of what is knowa
the Hangman country. in Eastern Washington
Territory, unhesitatingy state that think it, all
things being considered, the richest section of
agricultural land in Washington Territory, and,
indeed, of the whole Northwest. In my recent
trip across the country from Walia Waila TO Spo-
kane Falls was impressed with the apparent
wonderful fertility of the SOIL and 1t is really the
garden of what is generally known as the Palouse
country 1t is accessible to timber. which Is found
along the streams and adjacent foothills of the
Couer d. Alene Mountains; is well watered by
springs, which are found upon almost every Sec
ton. The rainfall is abundant-about forty inches
annually. The climate IS like that OF Southern
New York, and will produce the same crops and
fruits. / passed over the Marshal Field tract,
which was most admirably selected, embracing the
cream Of the lands of that section.
Yours very truly,
JOSEPH JORGENsEH.
The "Marshal Field tract" Is the land ad-
vertised for sale by Mr.. Morrison, and Mr..
Jorgensen's statement as to its charactermay be
accepted as absolutely reliable in every respect.
