AMONG THE RAILROADS.



Tho passenger agents OF tho various limos
leading into Omaha are somewhat indignant
over the advertisements of the fair and Mer-
chants week rates as published in the press
and claim that they are very misleading.
Tho advertisements read that fare and
one.third will be charged for the round trip
to Omaha from points within $50 miles,
when they should read ono fare for the round
trip with admission 10 the fair grounds at
tached. II is claimed that this error should
at once DO corrected, as IL allowed TO stand it
will keep great many people away who
otherwise would visit the city.
In addition to this there Is special excur-
sion over tho Northwestern lines from all
points in the territory governed by the
Western States Passenger association, which
includes all territory within radius Of 900
miles from Omaha, which has boon entirely
neglected On this excursion the rate will
likewise be one fare for the round trip. 1t
was only by q dillgent effort that the west
ern passenger association conceded this ex-
cursiou, and the passenger men claim that
it is due TO them that 1t be advertised extern
siyely.

The best way to secure good government
is to elect good men to office. This cannot
be done by permitting self-seeking politicians
of the worst class to dictate the nominations
of the dominant party, These men must be
sent to the rear in the republican party of
Colorado, and some of them should be sent

returns show that there were more
democrats elected from the no rth than
from the south by small pluralities, and
the fact that there is but ono contestfro
northern state illustrates the radical
difference between the political meth
ods of the two sections. 1t must be OBJ
vious even to candid democrats that so
many republican candidates In southern
districts would not have brought con-
tests without having very substantial
grounds for doing so.
The disclosures which these
contests will make of crimes OF
various kinds against the right of SUI
frage can not fail to be exceedingly in
teresting. They promise to show q
state OF affairs OF which the country will
have reason to be ashamed. The pro-
ceedings regarding these contests are
also likely to be very interesting, par
ticulerly If the policy of filibustering
which the democrats are understood to
be committed to shall be pursued. A
desperate effort will undoubtedly be
made to prevent the unseatiug of the
democrats who hold certificates, and a
prolonged fight appears to be assured.

The interior of the building was nearly

was nearly destroyed, the drug and jewelry
store on the north was greatly damaged.
A man sleeping in the Jewelry store was
blown. out of bed but not hurt, and the
family of Squire Hilton, who lived over
the postofice was terribly frightened but
escaped injury 1t is not known whether
the explosion was caused by keg of pow
der in Fidler's store or whether it was the
work of burglars, but the latter theory has
the most advocates.

Your committee are agreed that the eX-

such trade OF trades as shall be best pre-
pared to achieve success and that each

assess their members ten cents per week
for so many weeks as shall be necessary TO
secure eight-hours day, the payment
upon such assessments TO commence not
later than March !, 1890; also,
that all trades affiliated appoint COM
mittees TO confer with employers to secure
if possible, reduction of the hours Of
labor TO eight hours. Adopted.
The consideration Of the constitution
was then resumed and the amendment
adopted declaring that the president, two
vice presidents, secretary and treasurer
shall constitute the executive council. Adj
