The " Ola Ticket"

The Democratic party came nearer
electing their President in 1876 than
in any Presidential campaign since
1856, when they elected their last Presi.
dent, James Buchanan. All contests
before that time were matters OF form,
as defeat was well assured beforehand,
but in that year the mistakes of the
Republicans coupled with the popu.
.arity of Tilden brought the Democrat
ic party within the reach of victory.
Ever since the celebrated to contest
Dver the result, the Democrats have
worked themselves up into the belief
that the Tilden and Hendricks ticket
was really elected. The party leaders
of the Democracy have repeated the
story so often that they are now prepar-
ed to swear that Tilden and
Hendricks were elected, though they
know very we'll that tho way Tilden' $
election was claimed was by counting
in the votes of the stuffed ballot boxes
Of four Kukluxed Southern States, and
to count out the honest vote of the
colored people of those States. That is
the only way by which Tlden and
Hendricks were elected according to
their own showing.
The Democratic leaders are now en-
gagged in an attempt to work the party
up to the belief that the "old ticket, "
which it is proposed to put in the field,
will surely be elected this year, and
that the candidates elected will surely
be inaugurated this time beyond a
doubt. The bravado with which this
assertion is made smacks very much
of the dishonest order and should the
program be carried through a CAM
paign Of fraud may be expected.
1t is doubtless intended to carry New
York by fraud with the help OF Tam
many in the city, and to claim to have
carried other doubtful States in the
same manner, SO as to give the Tilden
and Hendricks ticket, by this sharp
practice,an apparent ell ctoral majority.
That is likely to be the game, if the
vote is at all close in the doubtful
States. The great battle ground will
De in New York city, where with Tam.
many back in full fellowship in the
ranks again they can manufacture just
as many votes as are needed to carry tht
State, though the honest majority
against them may be fifty or sixty
thousand.
New York city defeated Henry Clay
in 1913 by this method of counting anc
made Polk President. What has beer
done once may be done again, 80 thai
the hope of the Democratic party, witt
a Solid South at its back and "sym

The Labor Trouble ek.

In Fall River, Massachusetts,, it is
the same story over again with those
who went ont of the mills on a strike
some months ago i'll order to resist a re-
duction Of wages. After being out
some four months and 'pendiIg not
only all the money they had saved and
laid up for rainy day, and the money
belonging to labor union associations,
they are willing to return to work III
whatever wages are given. But the
difficulty is that they now find their
former pla es occupied by Others, and
they are unable to procure employment
even at reduced wages. A similar re-
suit has attended the cigar makers
strike in New York. There the Union
ordered 200 men to quit work, al
though they had been treated eXcep-
tionally well by their employers and
were without any just grievance. These
men were perfectly satisfied, Were re-
Ceiving good wages and had plenty Of
work, but they belonged TO Union
that was exorbitant and arbitrary, and
they were bound by its behestS and
had to quit work when the Union said
30.
These men remained out of work four
months, engaged in an attempt TO boy
cot,, lost $780, 600 in wages, consumed
A8,UO of the Unions funds, and then
offered to return to work. 1t was too
late then to remedy the matter. They
n had
by others except 60 of them, who
were fortunate enough to get back. The
other l., l4O had to hunt work elsewhere,
and were satisfied with any kind of
work so that it only brought them
enough to keep themselves and families
from want The same result has gen
orally attended all labor strikes. Most
invariably when there is a surplus OF
productions and sales are slow and dull
there, is u reduction Of wages. one
follows the other with as much certain
ty as day follows night. In a broad
SENSE demand and supply always regu'
late wages. The latter cannot be rails
ed in dun times, anI it is not to the
interest OF the employer to lower them
in prosperous times.
Workngmrn and employers should
learn to bear with each other, knowing
that what is to the best interest Of one
is also to the best interests Of the other
Product and demand will regulate
themselves, and any attempt to force
them out Of their regularly well bentel
channel must result in serious business
and labor disturbances such as have
taken place during the last four or fiv'
years. Wilmington has in q happy
manner, escaped the disturbance. l
Is Sd"rbtful if there is city in tn
oillon where there is better under
standing and more real good feeling

COu u ii man JOh usOu's Re. eieosl0n

Councilman johnson has cheerfully
accepted the Republican denomination
for the Third Ward, which means, of
course, that he is still willing to serve
the people in his usual capacity as a
safe, economical and intelligent legisla-
tor. Mr.. johnson has had a long ex-
perience ip the City Council, and has
always been found to be on the right
side Of every important subject brought
before the local legislature. But now
the question is, can he be reelected :?
Every ybody knows that he is deservedly
popular, but it must be admitted that
a considerable amount Of popularity is
required to overcome majority of over
$50 in the ward Mr.. johnson, how
ever, has overcome that majority when
there was no special issue like the
Water Commission before tho people,
and there would seem to be no good
reason now, with large number OF
honest Democrats opposed to the Com
mission, why he should not be re-elect-
ed.
Mr.. Johnson's we'll known and de-
termined opposition to the Water Com
mission is but an additional reason why
his former majority should be hand
somely increased. Now, the plain fact
is, Mr.. johnson cannot be reelected
without Democratic votes. These he
has always had in the past, and why
should he not receive them now? He
is a Republican, it is true, but in his
actions as member of Council he is
emphatically man of the people, ever
ready to grant favor to q Democrat a.
to Republican. The reelection of
Mr. johnson would reflect the intelli
gence and good sense of the people Of
the Third Ward in a practical manner

AN OLD SCHEME REVIVED

Kansas City Times: The Missouri Pacific
engineers have just completed the prelimi-
nary survey of line OF road from lie Roy
TO point on the Fort Scott & Wichita road,
abaut one and one-half miles west of Yates
Center. 1t is stated upon good authority
that the Missouri Pacific managers propose
to build this link in the immediate future.
Kansas City is to some extent interested in
this line, inasmuch as it would give Mr..
Gould line of his own from Wichita to
Kansas City, first over the Fort Scott &
Wichita, and then over the Missouri Pacific.
The bonds for the Kansas City d South
western railroad having been defeated in
Greenwood county, that company will prob
ably form a combination with the Missouri
Pacific and build line from Winfield TO the
Missouri Pacific connection with the Fort
Scott & Wichita road, thus securing for
Winfield also competing line to Kansas
City, which is the object to be secured by
the construction of the Kansas City 4 South

WHOSE INJURED.

To the Editor of the Daily EAGLE.
In the EAGLE Of yesterday you published
an item from the New York Sun in which
| that paper says our consuls abroad have
called attention to the fact that spectators
in wheat in this country are injuring the ex-
port trade and working a great injury to the
country. There is nothing. remarkable in
the fact that our consuls abroad assume to
dictate to this American people policy to
be pursued by the business men of the
country. Most of them having been simply
local politicians, when they are elected to
an office of importance assume a great I'M
portance in the business transactions of the
country, when the fact is that they simply
do not know what they are talking about.
The editor of the New York Sun says this
speculation in wheat has interfered with its
export and thereby injured the country to
| the extent of millions of dollars. Now if
the spectators in wheat have stopped Its
export, they could only have done so by
keeping the price above the export price.
If that be so; if by means of these specu-
lators in wheat the farmers of this country
have received say ten cents per bushel more
than export price, in the name of common
sense how does that injure the country. 1t
i. fact that the $4,000, 900 bushels of wheat
now constituting the visible supply, will not
bring the spectators near the amount Of
money which they paid the farmer for the
same wheat But they intend to hold it un-
til foreign nations come to time and pay
reasonable price. That is what they are
kicking about, and the New York Sun is
helping them to kick. If all the wheat held
by spectators in this country had been
on tie foreign market, wheat would not be
worth 40 cents per bushel in New York to-
day. The Sun thinks that would be great
blessing to the country. This same editor of
the Sun, when Republican secretary of the
treasury, proposed to substitute sill
yer money for the postal currency
OF the country, gave his learned
opinion that such transaction was simply
impossible, that the government could not
get the silver coin. He tried to be funny,
and said the secretary Of the treasury was
going out with tea pot full Of silver to re-
deem millions of postal money. Inside of
four years this same editor of the Sun was
writing learned articles against the coinage
Of silver, that the super abundance of silver
would drive the other money all out of the
country. He knew about as much about
finance then, as he now knows about the
wheat trade. FARMER DooLITTLE.

THE LIGHT THAT is FELT.

A tender child of summers three,
Seeking her little bed at night,
Paused on the dark stair timidIy,
'Oh, mother! Take my hand, said she,
"And then the dark will all be light"
We older children grope our way
From dark behind TO dark before;
And only when our hands we lay,
Dear Lord, in Thine, the night is day
And there is darkness nevermore.
Reach downward to the sunless days
Wherein our guides are blind IS we,
And faith is small and hope delays;
Take Thou the hands of prayer We raise,
And LET us feel the light of Thee!

HOGS DYING.

The hog malady continues undated in
certain portions of Nebraska. Many farm
ers in Otoe, Gage and Nemaha counties
have lost their entire herds, in some cases
numbering more than a hundred head of all
ages, and they have been compelled to buy
meat for winter use. The disease, whatever
It is, is more fatal than hog cholern.

BEST IN THE WORLD.

Wichita is said to be in deplorable con-
dition morally. Saloons and gambling hells
are thick. We suppose it is the same down
there that it is everywhere else. The peo-
pie don't seem to care anything about the
prohibitory law, but otherwise they are as
decent as people elsewhere, and as people
on the average have always been in all time.

The most decent, the best people in the
world. There can be no better. Under
the prohibitory law, of course, saloons don't
