Upham's Fitness for Governor.

If ]. Y. Quarles was we'll acquainted
with the qualifications of VIM. II.
Upham for Governor when he presented
him to the Republican Convention for
nomination, there ought to be no
question in the minds of those who read
the following words which he used in
the presentation of his name. We
re-publish it for the benefit of our
readers who failed to see it:
Mr.. Chairman and Gentlemen of the
Convention: If the sun were shining
in the industrial world, five minutes
of a candidate for governor; and any
one of the twelve would answer the
purpose. But my friends, [ ask you to
remember fora moment the background
Of disaster against which this COnven-
ton must cast its nomination. | have
not time to outline the bankruptcy, the
disaster and the distress that has come
upon us. While this frightful conflict
has been going on between organized
capital on the one hand and organized
labor on the other, the bacilli of anarchy
have been ins1diously awaiting an
opening to commence their deadly
work. The palsy of the doctrine of
free trade has crippled our commercial
interests By that desperate evolution
the soup house has been substituted for
the savings bank and while mobs were
looting our cities we had from the
Democratic party and from the vintage
of 1892, official cripples, towards,
compromisers and cuckoos. The time
has come, gentlemen, when we cannot
afford to cater to individual ambition or
local pride The supreme duty of the
hour is to cast aside individual prefer
ence at this time and put in nomination
some man with supurb courage; some
man who is wise enough, conservative
enough to hold the scales even; to
protect labor, to rebuke laWlessness,
and see thatjustice is done. [ApplauseJ
| wish to name man who, as 1t
seems to me, has been almost divinely
commissioned to accept this great
responsibility. His name is William H.
Upham, of Marshfeld. [ApplauseI ].
Thirty-three years ago last Sunday, as a
young boy, he lay wiltering in his blood
on the battlefield of Bull Run. A few
| weeks after he was ushered from a
Southern prison into the White house
at Washington and stood in the presence
of Abraham Lincoln (applause), the
father of the Republican party, who,
seeing that boy clad in the garb of a
soldier, and with that fearful wound-a
! shot through his luDgs-the mighty

party perfdy and party dishonor. In
the circumstances it may well excite
our wonder that democrats are willing
TO depart from this, the most democratic
of all tariff principles, and that the
inconsistent absurditv of such prOpo-
sed departure should be emphasized by
the suggestion that the wool of the
farmer be put Oh the free list and the
protection of tariff taxation be placed
around the iron ore and coal for
corporations and capitalists. How can
we face the people after 1ndulging in
such outrageous determinations and
violations of principles"
No democrat will dispute the correct
ness of these statements. A good deal
more might be said of the abandonment
of ''party principle" But by permit
ting such a bill to become a law
President Cleveland has not only
abandoned tariff reform and party
principle but with these his convictions
of duty. He certainly knows that the
passage of this bill even without his
signature, with all its Outrageous
Determinations and violations of prin-
ciples" puts an end to any real tariff
reform for a long time to come. Had
he followed his convictions of duty and
vetoed the bill of 'party perfdy and
party dishonor," with its great mass of
Outrageous determinations and viola
lion of principles" there would have at
least been chance for real democratic
principles to come to the front and
achieve worthy party victory at some
future time. Now there is none. This
bundle of Outrageous discrimination"
in favor mainly of southern interests
and against northern interests must
stand while the democratic party is in
power.
And this is the fruit of year of
democratic supremacy, to which may
be added the record of financial and
industrial disaster such as the country
never saw Decentralization Democrat.

heart of the great man was touched,
and he put his hand upon the boys
| head and gave him the blessing of this
republic; and he said, my boy, if you
want to be soldier I will send you to
| West Point, where you can learn the
art Of war" BY the masterful hand of
| the great emancipation this boy was
adopted as a child Of Uncle Sam and
educated at his expense. Applause. ]
After the war he organized a brigade in
the prmeval woods of Wisconsin, and
ever since that time has been doing
stalWart service He has had a chance
to study the labor question III all It's
phases. and he is at the head. of an
industrial army of 400 men. There has
never been strike in any Of his works,
and never the slightest mutterlngs of
discomfort. Applause;
On motion Mr.. Quarles was allowed
) minutes more. Gentlemen, | thank
YOU for your consideration, and let me
/ give you another snap shot at the life of
| this man, to show you his superb
courage. Like Romulus he organized
and founded city; and when he had
built his mills and warehouses and
shops and stores, contlagration came
and swept it away. When night came
the only thing left standing there was a
solitary flag staff. That night the family
| slept beside the ruins of their home,
and they spent the night in considering
where they should go in the morning
| for it was evident that hope had died in
the ruins of the village. But when the
morning came someone looked at that
old flag staff There up to the very
peak, was cold Glory for which this
man had shed his blood; and as the
early rays of the morning sun kissed
those graceful folds it said to those
people as plain as words could say, "As
| there shall be another day, so shall
there be another Marshfeld." A cheer
went up, and in few moments these
poor, begrimed, suffering men were
dancing like Comanches around that
flag staff. Before those ashes grew cold
| the work began. The nerve Of that
man was not abashed by misfortune.
| urge, gentlemen, the nomination of
Maj. Upham at this particular time
| because he has backbone that is as
firm as white oak tree. He has beat
| ing in his bosom heart as tender as
woman's. No mob can move him, but
| the humblest toiler may make bold to
take "Bill' Upham by the hand and get
| his just deserts; and no nabob, clad III
purple, can extort from him anything
more.
The roster rascality will never pass
him without challenge. Money will
not buy him. Monopolies cannot own
him. Cliques cannot control him; and
| If | could only present III words the
| love and respect of those old pensioners
that live around his works, you would
understand that the nomination Of that
man, and his record with his men, is
| equivalent to an assurance to the toiling
masses that the Republican party, this
grand old party of freedom, has taken
count Of the necessities of labor. Zap

it passed and after which it was not
changed particle:
Every true democrat and every
sincere tariff reformer knows that this
bill in its present form and as it will be
submitted to the conference falls far
short of the consumation for which we
have long labored, for which we have
suffered defeat without Encouragement,
which in its anticipation gave US a

JUDGE oUNDY ORDERS A CUT ON
THE UNION PACIFIC.

Employees In Every Department Affected
Men From strIking--Labor Circles
Stirred to Their. Depths Over the Order
OF the Court.
OMAHA, Jan. 29.-Union Pacific labor
sircles were stirred to their utmost
depths Sunday when the order of Judge
Dundy. reducing wages on the system
was made public.
All employees in every department
ere affected by the cut, which amounts
to nearly 10 per cent. The motion of
the court was not altogether surprise,
although most of the men had thought
the wage question would not be dis
turbed, but Judge Dundy went his
brothers on the federal bench one
better and not only enjoined the men
from striking, but cut their pay and
ordered them to work on at the re-
dnced DAY
The proposed schedule does not
change the rate of pay on the Nebraska,
Kansas and Colorado division except on
slight Fights" wheel engine sixteen ane
posed schedule the wages paid engi-
neers,. firemen. hostlers and wipers will
be reduced to 60-l00 cents per mile and
the wages, $50 cents per mile, will be
in excess of that paid by any of the 81
roads mentioned in the enclosed state
ment except the Missouri, Kansas and
Texas and Great Northern.
In Nebraska on trainmen the cut is
from So to $50 per month, conductors
suffering least, and brakemen most.
When the amount of the reduction can
not be taken from monthly salary, a
reduction in mileage allowance is made
sufficient to cover the equivalent of the
cut on stated salaries.
On all but three divisions or districts,
the Sixth Wyoming district. the Shes
hone and Nampa mixed trains and the
Nebraska passenger division, the cut
on trainmen runs as high as in Ne
braska and on some of the mountain
divisions the reductions in mileage will
amount to considerable more than the
So to Sl5 per month.
The schedule is very carefully pre-
pared, covering everything that could
be considered portion of brakeman
or conductors work or specifying what
he shall receive for the same. The
telegraph operators are remembered in
the petition and while no schedule is
fixed, as the receivers deem such Who'll
ly unnecessary, it is agreed that $40
shall be the minimum wages paid per
month, in Nebraska and Kansas with a
proportionately larger minimum west.
The average reduction is 541 per cent
and average reduction per man $3.50.
The concluding portion of the petit
ton calls the courts attention to the
matter of strikes which might result
from the adoption of the schedule and
calls upon the bench to protect the
road against any overt acts that might
be brought about by agitators and
others who are not sufficiently ac-
quainted with the terms of the new
schedule, which seeks to equalize
sala.ies.

Nearly every body is having la grippe now
days, but what is still more unfortunate, a
large per cent of those who are afflicted with
this epidemic instead of getting we'll as they
ought to, will have chronic catarrh as the
result. This is almost invariably the case
unless Pr-ru-na is taken as soon as possible
after la grippe begins. E.ery one who has
observed the effect of Pe-ru-na during the
last three epldemics of la grippe positively
knows that this remedy will cure it perma-
nently. The fact Is, however, that great
multitude of people will not take Pe-ru-na,
and the foundation for chronic catarrh will
be laid. Here again, Pe-ru-na is the only
remedy. Even in cases that the chronic
catarrh has affected the Lungs and the early
stages of catarrhal consumption have been
developed Pe-ru-na can. be relied upon as a
prompt and lasting cure. la grippe. and
catarrh are at present the two greatest enc
mics of life in the land. Pe-ru-na is cure
for either.

italian Etiquette.

If the woman who visits Rome wishes
10 follow tradition and do as the Ro-
mans do, - she will be careful never t.
take an escorts arm in Catholic
church. Indeed, the guides instruct
those who stroll innocently arm in arm
about st. Peter S looking at the pictures,
frescoes and affairs of that wonderful
cathedral that they are committing an
impropriety.
Italians are very particular about the
etiquette of kissing the hand. A man
kisses the right hand of his mother, aunt
or elderly friend and the left hand of
his sweetheart. 1t is not permitted him
to kiss the palm of the hand except in
great and ajfectionate intimacy. 1t is
regarded as token that he is very
much in love. Upon arriving at a
formal. dinner a gentleman takes the
hand of his hostess and bends low over
1t as il about to kiss it, but does not
90 80. After dinner etiquette demands
that he take her hand again and kiss it.
