LINCOLN. Sept. IL
Monday, September 3, is Labor day, a pub
lie and legal holiday, created so by the last
legislature. This will be the first observance
OF the day and the laboring men Of this city
are making special arrangements to see that
the celebration lacks nothing to make 1t an
absolute success.
The exercises will begin at 0 O'Clock in the
morning with a grand parade, which will
form on Ninth street north Of o, and march
east on o to Tenth, north to p, east TO
Eleventh, south to O., east to Twelfth, south
to N, west to Eleventh, north to o, west to
the postofice, where the officer of the day,
Mr.. J. H. Kramer, will announce the various
modes of transportation to Cushman park,
where the principal exercises will take place.
AT the park the people will be addressed
by the Hon. Frank I. Ransom, of Nebraska,
state senator from Otoe county, aud author
of the bill creating labor day. There will
also be addresses by the Rev. j. Oliver, Hon.
l. w. Lansing ana Hon. W.. .. Bryan, of this
city, and Mr.. Chamberlain, Of the Stroms-
burg Headlight.
In the evening there will be dancing and
sports Of various kinds. There will also,
during the afternoon, be exercises in the city
for the entertainment Of those who cannot
go to Cushman park.
Thu train for the park will leave the Bur
lington depot at 80 p. IN. The fare will be
20 cents for the ound trip, which includes
admission to the grounds. All working girls
who apply at the hall will be provided with
tickets free. The following address has been
issued:
The people will enjoy for the first time the
legal holiday on September . of Labor day.
The Lincoln central trades and labor unions
| have resolved to celebrate the occasion by a
monster picnic at Cushman park. The
| Lords day, or Sabbath, Is also the laborer's
day of rest, and in that respect a priceless
natural boon not to he infringed upon, but as
the sunday is mora especially set apart as a
recognition of the Almighty Creator, and as
other days have been set apart, such as
WashingtoD's day and Independence day, it
is fitting that one day in the year should be
also set apart ia recognition of labor. 1t is
appropriate to offer a few words on the oc-
casion. The institution known by our Irish
friends as Dublin castle is not at all excep-
tional in its system Of working. 1T sees
tho people, united, calm, determined, steadily
pursuing a wise course. 1t employs agents
to go among them ana to talk cheap violence,
to urge dynamite and murder, keeping them
selves safe always and so divide the solid
mass. The same course exactly is pursued
by monarchles, aristocracies, laudocracies,
monopolies, corporations and bosses all the
world over. They are more afraid OF a dozen
sensible educated business men than they arc
of a thousand or ten Thousand anarchists,
! the leaders of which violent propaganda are
always paid agents of monopoly. Let the
people be wise, calm, steady, determined,
perseverlng in ttis just demand and care
fully and severely letting all anarchists
alone, and they are bound to make rapid pro
gress.
