An Attempt to Rob a Main Street Saloon
Broken Up,

An Attempt to Rob 81 Main Street Saloon
Broken Up
About two o'clock yesterday morning a
man named Williams, while passing the
saloon at the corner of Main street and
Eighth avenue, noticed the queer actions
of man on the outside and saw others
moving around on the inside. The man on
the outside was evidently acting as sentinel
for as soon as Williams approached he
tapped three times on the window pane
Almost Immediately the door was thrown
open and n man ran out. Seeing what had
broken up his operations he struck Will
Jams violent blow in the mouth, and both
he and his partner ran off. Williams was
too much dazed to follow and too much
hurt to cry out, 80 he hunted up the police
aad an investigation was had. The robber
who was operating in the saloon had opened
all the drawers, but found no cash. He
had taken quantity of cigars, which, 30
far as known, is about all he got.

Will Get on His Knees,

LONDON, June 13.-The prince of Wales
and the duke of Cam bridge came to town
this morning on business, which is under
stood to be connected with the baccarat
scandal. The prince, who at first was dis
posed to treat tho matter lightly, is now
awakened to the seriousness of the situa-

Leeds Mercury says he has good reason to
state that the secretary of state for war will
apologize on Monday next in the commons
in behalf of the prince of Wales for the
course the latter took in condoning the

SHOULD GO SLOW

Every great commercial nation must
have navy. 1t should have seaworthy
ornaments that shall tour about the
world occasionally and inspire re-
spect or fear by their formidable
demeanor. This is a kind of dress
parade business. Not many ships
are required for it. The government
has enough of these costly structures
to make fair show, and their charac-
ter and equipment comprise the pro-
gressiye features requisite for efficiency.
In fact, it has been decided by the
British admiralty that the tests with
the United States dynamite guns have
shown that most of the English ships
are useless. The demand is for appro-
priahons to build navy equal to those
of the great powers. For this many
millions are asked, and the cost of sery-
ice, when built, will be a constant
heavy expense. This would be more
reasonable if the war ship equipments
were final, or even durable in their de-
fensive virtue. The armor now in use
is likely to be worthless in few wears.
Inventive genius was never more active
than Of late in hunting out the most de-
structive forces and methods. There is
not the least danger that any nation
will want to go TO war with this country

thought would be benefit to the state,
but they feared that if the Currier bill
became law the power conferred
upon the railroad commissioners of fix
ing freight rates would injure the men,
for if the companies found that the
freight rates were detrimental to their
interests they would make up the def
cheney by either reducing the number
of men employed or lessening the hours
of labor.
A number of the men present made
statements to the committee showing
that a general reduction of expenses
had been made during the last year by
the railroad companies, the men in the
Milwaukee shops ON Nov. 20 having
their hours of labor reduced 20 per
cent, while the laboring men on the
track now are paid S1.10 per day. Engi-
neers receive from 80 to cents per
mile, but their hours of work had been
decreased, and the condition of the rail-
road employee at the present moment
was most precariouS. They respect

carefully the condition of the men be-

THE NEBRASKA BLUNDER

Political society would be much tanner
and good deal of spice lost. If all men
thought and moved in rational ways,
Strong popular movements need escape
pipes for the frothy and roily. Perhaps
such are necessary part to any pro-
gressive work. Over in Nebraska this
distemperate element has unfortunately
been able to awe into acquiescence the
conservative, well-meaning masses of
the dominant Alliance forces in the
legislature. For full month they have
kept the state government in semi
anarchical condition, by refusing to
recognize the legally elected and con-
Stituted governor, even after the SUI
preme court had so advised. A prom
inent newspaper organ of these iEtem-
perate refOrmerS goes back to the
French revelation, but is not quite
happy in bringing down those red-hand-
ed reformers to align with the really
peaceful Nebraska tiller of the soil who
has been kicking at obnoxious political
methods, but would not work a guIllo-
tine on any fellows that he could beat
at the polls. ''Vlle Villains" fraud,
conspiracy and treachery," are among
the gentler imputations. Then the
supreme court is alluded to as "a mock
supreme court. organized to throw pro-
lection anOund the asSassins of justice"
1t had not been suspected that there
were such unpleasant people in the high
places in the center commonwealth.
They must be viewed through very
highly colored glasses. The new gov
ernOr was officially declared to have
LOO votes more than the second man
in the race, but the fact that
he did have more votes seems to be re-
garded as great wrong to the defeated
into the executive chair. This is about
the gist Of the thing. The supposition
that there was fraud or illegal votes in
one or two cities has not been shown to
have any basis. The question whether
the governor was sufficiently natural
lied forty or fifty years ago is not be-
fore the legislature. There are symp-
toms that the irrational leadership fol-
lowed will result in revolt. and divide
those who have set out to effect real
reforms. But, be that as it may, ques-
ton of humanity comes in. The gov
ernor has now been for month charged
and nearly bursting With his official
message. 1t is cruel to keep even a
Democrat in this condition. The Alli-
ance men i'll that legislature should not
be SO sadly misled.

last evening at the Ryan hotel to dis

views of the officials of the railroad
companies and also of the employees

showing that during the past five years
the wages had been cut down to the
lowest margin. until at present they
were receiving just enough to live upon
with economy. In 1890 there were 1900
less men employed than in the previous
year, though $50 more miles of road
were operated which should lave given
employment to 1920 more, SO that the
actual reduction was over 1000. The
railroad employees were not opposed TO
