Alarm I'm Northern Nebraska
SETTLERS ANXIOUS ABOUT A PROPOSED WIS.,
OF THE SIOUX TO THE GROWS

CHICAGO, June ia special dispatch from
Omaha says news has been received here from
Fort NIohrara In northern Nebraska, that
Chiefs Two Strikes and Turning Bear. OF the
ogailala Sioux, visited that post to get permis-
sion from the commandant Gen Brishin for
ABOUT 500 Sioux Indians of the Rosebud
agency 10 visit the Crow Indians, a party Of
whom under White Bull are now visiting at
Rosebud. The agent at Rosebud had denied
permission 10 make the proposed visit. Two
strikes and Turning Bear informed Gen. Bris-
DIN that they aud their friends proposed To 20,
Notwithstanding any refusal, they wanted 10
trade ponies with the Crows and get back 100
stolen ponies which the Crows promised 10 re-
turn 10 them IL they would make .he visit
Gen. Brisoin advised them 10 remain on their
reservation. Consi ierable uneasiness IA felt
among the settlers along the northern frontier
owing TO the determination of SO many Indians
to make the trip, as it II feared they may be
tempted TO commit de?redations. Ma. Wright

Indians not long ago had some serious difficulty

HEAVY INCREASE IL THE NUMBER 90
cHArrKL Mortgages RECORDED IN CHI
CAGo.
CHICAGO, June 12-The number OF instru-
ments filed for record In the recorders office
has Increased within month In q manner To
occasion surprise. The great Increase has been
in chattel mortgages. Within six weeks the
usual number has more than doubled. A loan
agent attributes this Increase 10 the strikes
and labor troubles. Many mechanics and
laborers who were out OF employment were also
out OF money. Having no other means of rails
ing cash with which 10 purchase the neces
saries OF life and pay rent they were forced 10
borrow money and give chsttel mortgages
upon their household goods. Within one week
there has been 397 Instruments OF this class
recorded. They represented a total valuation
OF SSs,So2, or an average OF about 1921. %
these instruments there were 253 which were
mortgages upon furniture, such a. household
goods, with an occasional piano included.

In test case against boycotters in
Massachusetts, Judge Brigham gave the
following opinion in overruling General
Buffers motion to quash the indictment ::
at is a principle well established that
every man has the right to choose his own
employees, and any interference with that
right is unlawful. Every employer has
right to employ whom he chooses, and
every manufacturer has the right to buy
and sell from and to whom he pleases,
and to use in any lawful way any mate
rial which he may choose to buy But
the right of labor to choose its own en-
ployer is no more sacred than that of the
employer to buy what and of whom he
chooses. 1t is also principle that labor
has the right to combine for the ameliora-
ton of its condition. OF course such a
combination will reduce the profits OF the
employers. Employers may also combine
to regulate labor, and the value OF labor
may be reduced as a result, or labor may
be exposed to more rigorous conditions.
Both combinations act adversely and in
iuriously, but within their rights. These
being the rights of the parties, any man
who undertakes to prevent the manufac-
turer from buying what or from whom
he pleases interferes with legal right
So, if combination of persons be made
to interfere with that right, it is an UNI
lawful combination. If the means used
for interference are unlawful, there is a
combination in every sense of the law
AS to what means are unlawful a com
bination to prevent one man from using
leather made by another is a combination
to an unlawful end, and if effected by
threats or intimidation, there may be a
conspiracy"

INT is stated on good authority that the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company have I'M
der consideration plan for the disposition
of their surplus funds. This is the acquisi'
ton of controlling interest in the stock
of the Chicago and Northwestern system
of railroads. A director of the Pennsyl-
vania road has recently been over the
Northwest road for the purpose OF re-
porting to the management Of the Penn
sylvania Railroad as to the advisability OF
acquiring control of the stock and run
ming the road in conjunction and con-
nection with the Pennsylvania road.
The Northwest road is now feeling its
way to the Pacific coast, so that the
Pennsylvania road, in acquiring it, would
be practically paving the way for another
trans-contnental line.

WHY Is IT NOT DONE?

There can be no doubt now that the
opinion of the people of Virginia is being
enlightened on the political position OF
the debt question, and an inevitable
change of sentiment is imminent The
information from Petersburg is that a
lawyer publicly offered coupons for sale'
and sold them, after rendering coupons
for the license, which was refused. 1t
had been published freely, all over the
State, that such an act would be pun
ished with immediate arrest But
the thing is done, and the result is
that the State is put in the ridiculous att
tude of belittling her whole authority and
the dignity of the law by making an
empty threat.
Here's the policy: Order the collectors
to do certain thing and let them laugh
at the order, and dare people to use cou-
pons under penalty of incarceration, and
then, when they use coupons, say, "Wel,
you better not do that again

Prince Waldemar, Of Bulgaria, is the
third son of the King of Denmark, and is
twenty eight years old.
In fixing upon Prince Waldemar the
Assembly shows that it desires to avert
further complications by presenting an
xnexceptionable Prince-elect for confir-
nation by the Great Powers and the Sui
tan. The Princes acceptance OF the
honor is, however, very much questioned
He will certainly decline if there is risk
of the Cars opposition.
It is announced that the Car is not
favorable to Waldemar, and that his can
dIdaSe is Prince Nicholas, of Mingrelia;
AVN therefore Prince Waldemar may de-
S0ne.

pondence of the department.
ION several occasions your Legation
has transmitted copies of notes, tele-
grams newspaper articles in extenso, in
Guiding even merely formal phrases. In
the nature of Geographic correspondence
there is rarely a necessity for such liberal
transmission. Verbatim copying OF a
text is liable to two practical objections
when the cipher is employed:
First, The construction does not al
ways fit the phrases of the Department
cipher, thus increasing the cipher groups.
Second, The literal identity OF a
cipher telegram with known original
may give clue to important cipher
groups. BAYARD."

The assembling statesmen in Washing
ton have two very interesting topics to
discant upon. One is the reason for
the falling off of the Democratic majority
in the House. The other is the change in
the Senate next year when the Repub-
lican majority of six 60 will be changed
to doubtful margin that may be made a
tie. 1t would be a centennial joke on
the Republicans if they lost the control
of the Senate by having Systematically
crushed Riddleberger under the immense
dignity that the Senate brings down
sometimes on recalcitrant member, who
will not move to the party-whip.
The Daily times. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1886-1889, 1886-11-12

Political movements, like all others In
nature or human affairs, must inevitably
be governed by active principles, ana
even despot cannot by arbitrary com
mand control the popular elements In his
favor.
In the campaign between Daniel and
Cameron, the Democracy held that any
deviation from the par figure of the debt
was heresy, but under the alternative OF
the Black and Tan rule in 1888, the peo-
ple were forced to accept the Riddle
berger bill
We do not understand that it was ac-
cepted with an alternative attached to II
of reputation.
We understand that the Democratic
party did everything that it possibly could
to make it act and it has been found to be
an impracticable machine labelled a debt
Settler" and in fact, with no motive power
to il. and no mechanism that will keep 1t
going. 1t has turned out to be an autom-
atom juggle, with a string to it, which
politicians pull, while few newspapers
raise a cry to make people believe that it
is a success.
The great result of the Riddleberger
act is a disastrous issue between the State
and Federal courts, in which the State
has been horribly Norsted and all the
manufactured cry of victory cannot make
it otherwise. s-,z-Szezssi! rssz.ras=s,
We really believe that the Inder-Appea'
struck the keynote, which we quote to-
day, viz: That the reason for all this
doubly complicated absurdity is that a
debt settlement would cook the goose OF
a set of very narrow-minded politicians.
The Daily times. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1886-1889, 1886-11-12

With respect and kindness to our
friend, the Dispatch, we must criticise It's
great blunder act in representing the
Riddleberger settlement as practicable.
The bondholders have said that they
are ready to settle on terms that are easy
TO the State, and on basis OF the surplus
revenue; and as soon as the people know
this, they will see that it is absurd to con-
tinue a fight against the United States
laws and make confusion doubly con-
founded, when there is plain way out.
