Among the statements for campaign
purposes sent out from democratic
sources is one to the effect that the east
ern manufacturers are endeavoring to
make republican votes by intimidating
their employees. A New York paper pro-
fesses to have received from many quar-
ters reports that this is being done, and
it concludes that ''there is deliberate
effort making to carry this years cleo
tion by the wholesale intimidation of
worltingmen at the hands of their em-
ployers." According to this authority
the method adopted is to tell working
men that if Cleveland is elected by their
votes they will be punished by the clos
ing of the shops.
OF course if anythin G of this sort S
being done by employers anywhere no
language reprehending it could be too
severe. Intimidation OF voters, by
whomsoever pracJiced and upon whom
soever, is wrong to be condemned at
all times and under all circumstances.
The right Of every citizen to cast his
vote according to his convictions of
duty should in no case be interfered
with, whether such citizen be the white
worker in a northern factory or the
black laborer on southern plantation.
But we are compelled to regard as
wholly absurd the statement that there e
is any general and systematic intimida-
tion Of worlsingmen in the east. No
employer Of fair intelligence having a
business of any Importance would APP
proach employees capable Of forming a
Judgment of how they should vote with
threat OF closing his mill or shop if
they did not vote the way he thought
best. 1t is not improbable that some
employers have said to their workmen
that there is danger of having to sus-
pend business if the tariff policy of the
democratic party should prevail, but
whatever may be thought of the wisdom
of such an opinion it will not be said
that its expression is not legitimate.
1t is reflection on the intelligence of
both employers and employed to
suppose that any such method of
intimidation as that cited would be
generally adopted by the one or have
any general effect upon the other.
How many intelligent workingmen are
there in the east or elsewhere who
would not see the absur2ity of the
threat to close the shops in which they
| worked in the event Of their voting the
democratic ticket, and how many en-
ployers would put themselves IN such a
ridiculous attitude before their en-
ployes, with the certainty of exposure2

SUPPOSE that the Union Pacific fund
ing bill fails to pass the present con-
gress, as it did the last, and is again
defeated in the next congress2 Does
Mr.. Adams propose to hold back the
new depot and union transfer for the
next four years? Or, is the Union
Pacific going to repudiate its contract
obligations to this city altogether be-
cause they have become "ancient his
tory" by Its own lack of good faith?

TIE railroad problem starts up in the
most unexpected places. The Califor-
mans Of San Francisco are complaining
that the Canadian Pacific line is rob-
bing them Of considerable trade. For
merly the -four OF Oregon came to San
Francisco and was shipped to Hong
Kong by the Pacific Mail steamships.
Now the Canadian Pacific gets it all
and ships it to China by n Puget Sound
steamer line. And it even appears that
from the northern counties of California
goods can be shipped to eastern points
cheaper by this British line than by the
Northern Pacific or the latest connect
ing link of the Central Pacific. Must
the Interstate commerce bill be supple
mented by an international clause2 or
will the remedy be the annexation of
the British American possessions from
the Canadian shore in the east to the
furthest shores of the west? The Brit
ish Columbians, men say, are not un-
willing.

THERE was placed on file at the re-
corders Office in Council Bluffs recently
five bills of sale aggregating three
hundred and forty thousand dollars.
They represented the transfer in owner
ship of locomotives and cars from the
Union Pacific to various trust companies
east They are in reality mortgages on
certain rolling stock owned by the
Union Pacific. But mark the subter-
fuge. When the tax assessor IN Iowa
comes to make his assessment, he
will be shown these bills of sale.
He cannot assess this rolling stock
because it will be claimed that it is not
owned by, but leased to the Union Pa
clfic. When the tax assessors east come
to the Roger locomotive company, to
the Michigan car works and to the
Pullman company, they will be told
that this same rolling stock has only
been mortgaged to them. Hundreds of
thousands of dollars of property an
nually escape taxation by this sort of
trickery. Tax shirking is an evil which
must be met by radical legislation.

WESTERN dressed beef has gradually
taken the place of the domestic article
in the east. The prejudice which once
existed is now gone since consumers
have found that beef dressed in the
west is of better quality and of lower
price than the home product. In the
past few years the beef packing indus
try of the west has grown to great pro-
portions. 1t is likely to supply the
whole country within few years, since
better grade of cattle can be slaught-
cred in the great corn belt of the Mis-
souri, valley and laid down fresh in
every city at nominal price.

alton that the restoration of his temporal
power is the consideration ever before his
eyes In mundane matters. Private letters
say that the pope considers it his solemn
duty either to obtain the patrimony of Peter
as it is currently termed, or to withdraw
from Italy. AS he is far more popular than
Humberto, and as Italians generally are dis
satisfied with the Abyssinan fiasco, it is far
more probable that the Piedmontesc king
will be forced TO retire to northern Italy
than that Pope Leo will be forced to abandon
Rome.

THE most enthusiastic supporters of
Cleveland in New York are among the
dry goods dealers, who have formed a
special club and are working like
beavers for the democratic party. At
all their meetings the attendance is so
large that the hall is filed and there is
crowd upon the stair ways and a side
walk delegation upon the pavement.
The secret of this energy is that they
are free traders to q man. The demo-
cratic party may not mean free trade,
but all free traders believe they do.
