FOR OUR FARMERS.

A movement is on foot among our
farmers in some places to combine and
keep their wheat until it will command
better price. That is self-preserVa-
ton and may be successful within a
given limit. That limit is the price
at which wheat can be laid down here.
from other markets. If they try to
raise it above that figure they will fail.
Storing wheat is quite a considera-
ton Everybody has not the facilities
to keep large quantities on hand. But
where it can be done, farmers may re-
deem themselves from the bondage
that low prices have kept them in, by
concerted action in holding on to their
grain until it commands fair figure
in the market.
But there is this to be considered:
1t is common among farmers to antici-
pate their crops. They run in debt to
stores, to money lenders, to machine
vendors and others, so that their crops
are virtually mortgaged before they
are reaped. The consequence is they
have to sell so as to pay their debts,
and this is done at the very worst time
to dispose of their grain.
1t is right that these debts should be
paid. 1t is the farmers duty to settle
them before he goes to storing his
grain for a rising market. If every
body would try to pay what he owes
as soon as possible, times would be live
Her And if people would learn to do
without that which they cannot pay
for on the spot. there would be less dis
tress and poverty asd less depression
of trade.
Farmers. save your products, if you
can. till they command a fair price.
but don't fail to pay what you owe,
and in future years stop this everIast-
ing spring and summer debt business,
wait for what you want, if possible,
till fall and learn to pay as you go.
Then you will be in position to COM
bine as to prices, and you viii not be
in bondage all your days. either to
your creditors or to the traders in
agricultural products.

STRIKE FAILURES.

The strike business has been very
unfortunate this year. The Omaha
packing house men have done no bet
ter than the Pullman men, except that
they did not hold out so long and con-
sequently have not lost much The
lessons learned during 1894 ought to
be valuable to working people. 1t does
not pay to be revengeful. Destroying
property, stopping manufactures, pros
trating trade and transportation and
such heroic measures wherewith labor
seeks to injure capital, may do some
harm in the direction intended, but
they do no good to the perpetrators
of the mischief.
The result is bound to rebound upon
the working people. The losses ex-
perienced by capital render less likely
the payment Of the better wages de-
manded by labor. Capital is able to
hold out, while labor must in time sue
cumb unless settlement is made
Strikes ought not to be resorted to
unless as last extremity, and then
only with an assurance of success.
They will not do as speculation. The
OOAo al iiCdiiy Always against ldOOl,
and the fight is, therefore, so unequal
that the weaker should not challenge
defeat.
Both the strikes to which we have
alluded are an utter failure, for the
individuals who have suffered so much
for nothing, and also the organizations
that have ordered or countenanced the
conflict. Much more than the differ
ence in the rates of wages, which was
the point of dispute, has been lost by
the workpeople, never to be regained.
They are thrust that much farther
backward on the path to Independence.

OUR CITY OFFICIALS.

Ii is expected that the latest appoint
ment made by the Mayor for city physi-
clan will meet the same fate as the
previous nomination. That is an open
secret. 1T occasions a great deal of
comment, much of it adverse to the city
council 1t is believed and currently
reported that the reason why these
nominations are disapproved by the city
council, is because the nominees are
Democrats. And it is whispered, loud
enough to be heard throughout the city
hall, that mo Democrat need apply!'
We confess TO some doubts as to
the correctness of these rumors. 1t
is true that in the citizens movement
the non-partizan manipulators managed
to get majority of Republicans into
the city government. We do not say
this was designed Whether it was or
not, we have what is understood to be
a non-partisan city administration.
That being so, the non-partlsan spirit
should rule in appointments and
throughout all civic affairs. Perhaps
lit does. Many. however. believe to the
contrary.
In the present instance we are assured
from persons who ought to know, that
party politics cut no figure in the ap-
pointment or disappointment of the
city physician. 1t is stated that the
chief objections to both the nominees
are, they are not men of family and
they are not taxpayers. 1t is claimed
that if the Mayor will nominate capa

the Council will confirm the nomination
whether he be Republican or Demo-
Icrat We give this statement as the
position Of 1.-The other side"
1t appears to us that there ought to
be a more friendly and amicable asso-
citation between the Mayor and the
.Councilmen, between the executive and
the legislative branches of the city gov
'ernment. We make no charges on this
score against either.
We believe the Mayor 10 be honestly
devoted to what he believes the best
interests of the city. He is firm. as he
fought to be when he is convinced that
hesis in the right. And he is tenacious
as to his rights as the head of the city
government.
We also believe the Councilmen are
Iequally sincere and public spirited, and
as determined to hold their places and
contend for their rights and privileges
as public officers. They are to be res
pected in their sphere as much as any
other officers in theirs.
That is all well enough. But for the
sake of harmony, good feeling, and the
public welfare, we think there should
be more cordially and fraternity be-
tween these executive and legislative
public officials. They should get closer
together and talk over matters in pri-
waite so as to arrive at mutual under
standing. We do not approve of private
transaction Of public business. We do
not mean that. We refer only to con-
ferences to explain informally and con-
fidentially matters that may not be so
openly ventilated in official meetings.
If there is anything to prevent this,
at any rate there ought not to be such
a division between the Mayor and the
Council as to indicate hostility on
either side. They are all public servants
and should study, not personal or po-
litical preferences or personal or politi-
cal animosities, but solely the public
interest and the general welfare.
