ENGINEERS AND FIREMEN.

Chiefs Arthur and Sargent Make
Conservative Addresses.
There was a large meeting of the
engineers and fremen's brotherhoods
held at Labor hall last night. The an.
n0uncement that Grand Chief Arthur,
of the b. l.. E., and Grand Master
Sargent. of the B. l.. F., would be
present and make addresses drew out
not less than 300 members Of the two
brotherhoods, in spite of the drilling
rain. The doors were closed to news
paper men. From the frequent bursts of
applause which punctuated the adj
dresses it was evident that some tell
ing shots were being made.
AS soon as the gathering broke up
and the tramp of heavy footsteps an
nounced that the meeting was over
GLOBE reporter made his way through
the crowd. 1t was learned in general
way that the tenor of the addresses was
not one of approval OF or sympathy with
the strikers. Every railroad company
here was represented. Grand Chief
Arthur advised the members of the B.
l.. E. as he did on the occasion of the
strike on the Could system in '96. to do
nothing that would tend to violate their
agreement with the Great Northern
company or to break their obli-
cations with their brotherhood;
in short, to do nothing that
would impair their integrity or disgrace
their manhood, III the present trouble.
j. G. Nolan, chairman of the engineers
committee of the Great Northern, gave
similar counsel. He advised the MEM
bers of the Il. l.. E. to abide by their
agreement and obligations, aud said
that all engineers who have gone Into
the ranks of the strikers have so broken
their obligations. He intimated that

tried elsewhere; bur the most notable
example of its operation was in Illinois.
In 1899 the Democratic state convention
Endorsed John M. Palmer Tor senator.
while the Republicans named Richard
j. Oglesby. Both made an energetic
canvass of the state.and in many doubt
full legislative districts the issue was
determined by the preferences of the
candidate for senator. Since that time
the experiment has been tried in other
states, with uniformly good results. and
In Illinois the same plan is now being
followed. The Democrats have named
Gen. John c. Black. now congressman
at-large, for Senator Culiom's seat,
while the Republicans are divided be-
tween Senator Cullom and William E.
Mason.
This system takes the election of
United States senator practically out
OF the hands Of the legislature. That
body finds its work mapped out for 1t,
and dares not disregard the expressed
wishes of the people. 1t results in the
obliteration of the caucus system and
the purchase system, and In the selec-
ton of men who are known for their
fitness and experience in public affairs.
1t enables the selection of men for their
mental qualifications rather than for
their material possessions, and where
ever it has been tried has resulted to
the complete satisfaction of the voters.
The general adoption of the Nebraska
Illinois plan will be productive of uni
Z mill hn
necessity for constitutional amend
ment, which could hardly pass congress
and would be in danger of defeat by
the state legislatures even If it should
pass the national body. 1t gives the
people the opportunity they have long
sought of voting directly upon the
choice OF man to represent them III
the senate. and will put an end to the
disgraceful bribery of state legislatures
that has for so long been a scandal to
our country. Rich men might reach the
senate through this channel, but it
would not be for their wealth alone that
they were chosen. but for the possession
of other qualities that commended them
to the people.
Wealth is no bar TO official preferment.
nor should 1t be urged as a reason for
opposing any man. But it is about
time that it ceased to be the only re-
quisite for men entrusted with the gray
est of responsibilities. Worth makes
the man and should make the senator
as we'll, whether he be possessed of
millions or has no pillow upon which to
lay his head.
The success of the Nebraska.Illinois
plan of choosing senators will justify
the trial of the experiment generally,
and in view of the fact that change in
the constitution cannot be brought
about under existing circumstances it
may be we'll to adopt the next best
thing-the choice of members of the
state legislatures upon the issue of their
preferences for representatives in the
upper house of congress.

''What about the statement that this
struggle was in the nature of war
between the different organizations of
railway employees;
That idea Is not borne out by the
facts in the case" came the reply. I'VE
entertain the best of feeling for the
officers of any organization of railway
men. With us it is first question of
the interests of our men and not ques-
ton of individuality of organization.
This struggle Is to better the condition
of our men and nothing more. Any
other statement is not worthy to be con-
sidered. We are in this fight to win
and will use all lawful endeavors to do
so. Should any other organizations
find themselves in like position. they
would have our unqualified support"

MIR. Debs is young man of consider
able flrmness, and not at all autocratic
in his bearing. His presence will prob
ably tend towards all early adjustment
of the difficulties. as it is not improbable
that conference will be arranged be-
tween the officers and the officials of

thing was improbable. and hopes that
the troubles will soon be settled salts
