The workingmen,s Meeting.


At Kaspar's hall last night q mass
meeting of the worklngmen was held, at
which the subject of labor reform was
earnestly discussed.
Edward Walsh was elected to the chair
and DR.. F. S. Lewis chosen secretary.
Speeches were made in favor of the
eight hour and convict labor movements
by Hons. William Turtle and Wlnspear,
Lewis, Quinn and Kreshmare.
The following resolution was adopted:
Resolved, That we, citizens of the
state of Nebraska, respectfully demand
that the bill introduced by the Hon.
VIM. Turtle, providing for the abolish
ment of the convict labor system now in
vogue in this state, ehall receive at their
hands just and reasonable consideration,
to the end that it do pass and become a
law; and that any postponing of this i'm
portant matter by the Legislative will be
construed by the members of this meet
ing as showing willingness to betray
the people of this great ealtn
into the hands of willy and unprincipled
fortune hunters.
The meeting was then adjourned to
the call of the trades assembly.

more liberty, as is only natural in these days.

appearance to great occasions, when weighty
words of warning or advice are needfuL
The modern ghost has been developed into
q much less substantial and q much less
reasonable being than its ancestors. 1t is
sometimes reduced to a mere voice, or even
to message conveyed without q voice, or to
Q shadowy hand or dim vision floating
vaguely In the air at dark seance. And

supposed to be scientifically explicable. Now
a natural and commonplace explanation is
the ruin OF a good ghost story. When we have
turned down the lights, and prepared for a
delightful thrill of horror, one does not want
ones ghost to be explained away; one feels
cheated when the "true ghost story" is only
an account Of a fashy apparition, which
comes in stupid kind Of way TO announce
its own death; and one feels positively in
jured when it is explained by a scientific de-
scription Of brain waves and transmitted
