Labor Troubles in Chicago.

CHICAGO. July 4.-Everything is quiet in
the west division this morning. No attempt
has or will be made to run carp, and there are
comparatively few people on Madison street,
the scene of yesterdays disorder. A few Of
the strikers are lingering around the com.
psny's stable apparently on guard. At the
strikers meeting last Light il was decided to
keep watch over the barns during the 4th and
to be- on hand at the usual hour Sunday
morning to prevent the cars from starting.
A mass meeting has been called for this after.
noon on the lake front. In addition to the
stl eet car mems strike there has been cOnsid-
cradle trouble on the lumber docks here lately,
caused by the lumbermen attempting to IN,
load their umber with their own gangs"
of men instead of employing mem.
bers Of the lumber showers union, which
organization has heretofore enjoyed a com.
plete monopoly of this sort of work. In sew.
eral cases barges have remained unloaded
several days because the lumbsrmen would
not employ union men, and the latter would
not permit them to employ any one else. Non.
union men have been beaten and terrorizsd
and yesterday at South Chicago a
serious riot was only prevented by the timely
arrival of a squad of policemen.
At their meeting tonight the strikers aud
their allies passed q resolution accepting the
mayors plan of settling the difficulties with
the company by arbitration and appointed q

DIsLOYAL POLYGAMIsTs.

The Mormons of Salt Lake city made 8
difgraceful spectacle Of themselves on the
Fourth of July by lowering the national
flag to half mast on their public build
ings. Their impudent assertion, in ex-
PLANTATION of their conduct, that the
Fourth of July was a day of mourning
for them because "thelr best men ara in
the penitentiary by acts of officials sub.
versive of all principles of law and lib.
erty," will cause great indignation among
the law.abiding citizsns of this country,
who consider the curse of polygsmy q
blot upon the nation and who heartily
endorse the enforcement OF tho anti
polygamy laws.
The evident object Of the Mormon
officials In making this disloyal demon.
s~trution was to call universal attention to
what the polygamists regard as an outrage
on their civil and religious liberties. They
want all the world to sympathizs with the
martyrs who are now within the peinten'
tlsry walls for violating the laws prohib'
iting ~polygamy. Instead of arousine
sympathy for this relic of barbarian, the
sense Of the American people will be thai
polygamy must be suppressed, and that
federal authority must be exercised or
every foot of American soil over which
the national flag floats.
The lowering of the stars and stripes Oh
the national holiday by the p~olygsmlsts
was an insult to the loyalty of the people,
and a challenge to the United Stater
authorities. That insult will no doubt
prove q costly venture for the Mormons,
and the challenge to execute the laws
will be accepted by the federal author
ities., 1t was not q thought
less act on the part Of the
Mormon officials, but was In accordance
with q premeditated plan. The wonder
Is that a bloody riot was sverted. Not
only were the ex-union soldiers wrought
up to the highest pitch of indignation,
but also prominent ex-confederates.
The democratic federal officials in Utah
are certainly to be commended for the
firm stand which they took In behalf of
loyalty and law. When the Mormons dc
away with polygamy, respect the nation.
al flag, and obey the laws enacted by con.
gress their individual and religious llbsr-
ty Will be respected as much as that OF

ST. PAUL'S PRIDE.

1t must be admitted that ST.. Paul lie
an enterprising and liberal city. The
erection and opening of The Ryan hotel,
a magnificent seyen'story structure,
costing in the vicinity of a million dollars,
Is an event of which the people of that
city may we'll feel proud. Tho new hotel
would be a credit to any city In the
world. st. Paul to a great extent owes
It's marvellous growth and prosperity to
the liberallty, public spirit, and united
action of Its %prominent citizens, notably
the wealthy men. If Omaha's rich men,
although fewer In number and as u rule
possessing Individually less capital than
those of st. Paul, had In the past exercised
the proper spirit of liberality, enterprise,
and harmony this c!ty-in spite of the
various obstacles that have from time to
time been thrown in its way, particularly
by the railroads-would to-day have oeen
built up in a much more metropolitan
style and would have had at
least $4,000 inhabitants. When Mr.,
Ryan, the protector and proprietor,
made his proposition to build this grand
hotel In ST.. Paul upon condition of q
bonus OF 5000, 900 the citizens promptly
accepted the offer, and had no difficulty
In securing subscriptions amounting to
$265, 1875, the surplus over 5000, 900 be-
Ing taken to make up any deficiency that
might occur by reason of any defaulting
on the part of subscribers. One man
alone subscribed $50 900, seven others
pledged $4,000 each, eight others put
down their names for %, 0CO each, while
6 large number subscribed fro>a 81, 0O0

JESSE JAMES GANG.
A Lot of Boys Play Highway Robbers
and Hang One of Their
Number.

Friday q gang of boys, numbering
about thirty, and ranging In age from 8
to IL Year,, were playing In OH old barn
on Thirteenth street. Some of the mum.
Der had heard of Jeass James and his
notorious gang, and the boys concluded
that 1t would be just oceans of fun to
play highway robbers. After they had
been desperadoes (iu their minds
for awhile, they thought 1t
was about time to do something
desperate, SO they siezed one of the num-
Der and proposed to hang him. They
procured a strap and tied one end of 1t
around the victims neck, while the other
end was securely fastened to q rafter.
The lad was standing upon an old barrel
and after everything had baen arranged
the leader of the gang kicked over the
barrel and down came the lad, hanging
by the neck.
It was lots of fun until the hanging
boy had began to choke, and
then the Temperatures, in min.
ature, got frightened, ran out
of the barn and began tc hello at the
top of their voices. A gentleman, who
CHANGED to be passing rushed In and cut
down the lad, who by this time was black
in the face. 1t was quite a serious joke,
for the boy who was hung, and had 1t not
been that aid was at hand he would
doubtless have been a case for the cor.
oner.

ONE would suppose from the fuss
made about it in the %cablegrsms that the
recent election In the borough of Wood.

not less than $4,000 votes. We are
therefore surprised at the statement that
at the close of the polls the votes stood;
Lord Randolph Churchill, 532; Mr..

tion dwindle into an Insignificant affair,
