STAND BY THE STRIKERS.
Workingman States the Case ofthe
Waterworks Employees.

OMAHA April 2l.-To the Editor of THE
BEE: Knowing you to sympathize with any
just and honorable movement in the cause of
labor, / wish to say few words through
your paper in behalf OF the striking en-
ployes of the waterworks company. We
have the example before us of a corporation
that a few days ago boasted through the
public press of this city that during the last
year it had cleared, over and above all ex-
penses, a half million OF dollars, reducing
the wages of its laborerS 25 cents day, and
making open boasts also that the next year
would show its net profits to be over million
of dollars. l want 10 know what reasonable
excuse this corporation has to offer for re-
ducing the wages of it's common laborers. 1
attended meeting of these men at Green's
hall on Earnam street on Saturday evening
last, and found them to be honest, honorable,
sober and intelligent, most of them men of
families, and nearly all of them citizens of
this city; men chiefly of German and Scan
dinavian nationality, and determined to carry
their point by all honorable means. The
writer Of this felt interested in their cause,
and with the assistance of others
will endeavor, by all honora-
BILE means, to assist them in
carrying their point. Now Mr.. Editor, we
solicit your assistance in this movement in
behalf of these men. All of them are peace.
able, law-abiding citizens. Those that know
our German and Scandinavian citizens can
not say otherwise, and we solicit the moral
support of all fair-minded men for these, our
fellowlaborers, in their struggle 1or their
rights with this corporation. They deny
with one voice the malicious charge of inter
fering with or iniuring the companys prop
erty, and they claim that it is to their inter
est to protect and defend it, and will do so to
the best of their ability. They hereby re-
quest all laborng men TO stand by them IN
this, their struggle for their rights, as Amer
ican labor at the present day is ground down
by those corporations, and would request all
men to keep away from this work until this
question is settled.
Brothers of the Knights of Labor of this
city, address you in behalf Of those men

WILL PROBABLY CLOSE.
April 30 May be Observed hy Banks
as II Holiday.

The national bankers of Omaha, as well as
elsewhere, seem to be in very much of a
quandry just now as to whether they will be
compelled, under the proclamaJons of the
president to close up and observe the 3Oth
instant as Il legal holiday. g. w. Hamil-
ton, William Wallace, Ben B. Wood,
A. p. Hopkins and other officials who
could be found were interviewed on the sub
ject, but were not prepared TO offer
any decided opinions. The law desIgnates
certain days, and also provides that any
other named by the president for thanltsgiy-
ing and prayer come under the same head.
"That beng the case" said Mr.. Wallace,
"there is no DOUBT that the Both will be a
legal holiday and we will have TO close. 1t
will not interfere much with our business
We can close on any day except Saturday
and Monday without much Inconvenience. +"
The others expressed themselves in SINH
lar manner They have been discussing the
matter rather extensively, and will decide
within the next day or two what to do.

WHAT PEOPLE TALK ABOUT
Views and Interviews Caught in Hotel
Corridors aud Elsewhere.


ColonelJ. Wood Smith, the duke of Gala.
way, brings very encouraging reports from
Custer county Of prospects for big crops this
season. The colonel said last evening that
there had been an abundance of rain, and
the plant OF small grain is growing most
satisfactory. III have oats and wheat on my
place that are three inches high now" said
he. 1t was learned in a short conversation
with him that a stretch of country between
Albion and North Platte, is greatly worked
up just now over the probability of securing
a new railroad named the Missouri River,
North Platte 4 Denver. The towns along
the line, such as Ord and Galloway, have
raised money to pay for having it surveyed,
strong company has been organized, and
and work will be commenced at once. He
thinks that it Is n scheme OF the Illinois Cen
trail, and will undoubtedly be built this year
as far as North Platte.
The interview with Judge Poppeton,
printed in these columns three or four days
ago, seems TO have caused quite IA futter
among the exposition people. The declara-
tion made by him that, If his lots were va
cant and free from lease membranes, he
would erect upon them hotel costing not
less than 500, 900, has induced some of the
association directors TO express themselves,
rather vigorously, and in favor OF giving the
Judge call on his proposition. Mr., VIM.
Wallace said yesterday: "lf he was quoted
correctly, and means IT,, am satisfied there
will be no difficulty in clearing tho lots.
Furthermore, if Mr.. Poppleton agrees TO
erect 5000, 900 hotel there, l will not only
turn over all my stock in the exposition
building and grand opera house, but in addi-
tion give him my check for $1,000, l am sat
isfied too" he continued, THAT there are
other stockholders, who will gladly do the
same"
Senator Church Howe, of Auburn, said,
last evening, that if this quality of weather
continues six weeks or two months longer,
Nebraska will produce the greatest crops Of
every kind ever heard of. "The farmers
down my way,' said he, "are fully three
weeks ahead of all former seasons with their
work. and cattle are going to grass fifteen
days earlier than usual"
Arthur Moreland, the famous interlocutor
OF fDockstader's minstrel company is q regular
crank on base ball, but the game he witnessed
yesterday between Omaha and Minneapolis,
very nearly cured him. Said he, "I never
couldn't appreciate the sport of the
diamond. All l have got to say
is there's not single man in the Mime
apolis team who can play ball"
"Oh yes, the third baseman is a pretty
good player" interjected bystander.
Moreland looked at him and replied
"Well, suppose if mutfing an easy one and
letting in five runs is good ball, he's all
right" and walked away.
April 80 is perplexng the bankers. To
close or not to close-that's the question
and they can't decide 1t. a. U. Wyman says
it is very important matter. They are at a

THE SIOUX COMMISSION.

The president has appointed the
members Of the commission who are to
negotiate with the Sioux Indians for
the opening of their reservation. They
are General Crook, Ex-Governor Foster,
of Ohio, and Hon. William Warner, of
Kansas.
The selections have been wisely made,
and the commission may safely be ex-
pected to conduct, judiciously, the deli
cate duty it will have to perform. No
man in the country is more familiar
with the Indian character than General
Crook, and none would more fully COM
mand the respect and confidence of the
Indians. His long and successful service
among them gives him thorough ac-
quaintance with their mental charac-
teristics and the best method of dealing
with them, while it taught them to
know him as a man worthy of their en-
tire confidence. Ex-Governor Foster is
man of practical affairs, shrewd, care
full and intelligent, and Mr.. Warner is
equally well fitted for this duty. The
commission will receive instructions
early next month, and proceed at once
with its important task, the general
character of which the public is famil-
lar with.
The, most trustworthy advices are
favorable to the success of the negotla-
tions. The better terms offered the In
dians by the new legislation are UNDER
stood to be satisfactory to very large
number who opposed the first proposals,
among these being some of the most in
tluential chiefs. Certain strong in
tluences, also, that were operative at
the time of the negotiations last year
have been removed, or, at any rate,
checked, while in the meantime the
Indians have become aware of the fact
that the public sentiment of the coun-
try demands the opening of the reserva-
tion, and that q further peryerse re-
sistance would be more likely TO work
them harm than good. These circum-
stances warrant confidence in the sue
cess of the new negotiations. and this
feeling will be increased by Il know
ledge of the character and qualifications
of the commissioners. The opening of
the reservation will give eleven million
acres to white settlement, most of it
superior land, and undoubtedly the de-
mand would be such as to enable the
government to dispose of it as rapidly
as practicable, adding largely to the
population and material welfare of
South Dakota. 1t is quite possible that
this result may be attained colncident
with the admission of South Dakota to
statehood.

THE refinery established at Watson
Vile, CAL, for the extraction of sugar
from beets has proved much greater
success than was expected at the out
set. Four thousand tons of sugar were
produced last year, which was nearly
double the amount of the previous year,
and new company, with capital Of
five million dollars, has been formed to
prosecute this industry on more ex-
tensive scale. There is growing in

1ROUBLEsOME COMPETITORS,

1ROUBLESOuE COMPETITORS.
The competition of the Canadian rail
roads with American lines is trouble
some and perplexing factor of the rail
way problem which is receiving serious
consideration. The subject has recently
been presented to the interstate COM
merce commission, and both sides have
been heard. Ever since the passage of
the Interstate law there has been more
or less complaint of the disadvantages
suffered by American roads from the
unrestrained competition of the Cana
dian roads, and since the Inauguration
by the commission of a more vigorous
policy in enforcing the law, followed, it
would seem, by more aggressive COM
petition on the part of the foreign cor
porations, the matter has become one of
grave Importance. The issue discussed
before the commission arose between
the Michigan Central, which controls
the Canada Southern. and the Grand
Trunk, and related mainly to the trans
portation OF anthracite coal, large guam
titles OF which are carried into Canada
by both roads. The Grand Trunk,
being free from the restraints imposed
by the law upon the Michigan
Central made special rates TO the prin-
cipal points for large shipments and
the latter road appealed to the COM
mission for protection against this dis
advantageous competition, claiming
that inasmuch as the coal is taken for
shipment by the Canadian line on the
American side thai road is subject to
the restraints Of the law. The answer
Of the Grand Trunk was that the coal
