include CD an honest and workable

IN the old days, before the Amar-
gosa river ceased to water the vail
ley, the place was the seat of
powerful city ruled by princess as
beautiful as Cleopatra and as inn
perious as Elizabeth. An embas-
sador to the reigning Aztec monarch
described to her on his return the
glories of the kings palace in the
Cltv OF Mexico.
Resolving to equal the msgnii--

the erection Of vast building ALI

MES Of militia will be sent to South
Omaha and the packing house district
placed under martial law The stu
alton is most serious and the LOO
strikers have been doing about as
they please. at o'clock last evening
they forced their picket line. that has
for forty-eight hours surrounded the
packing plants. under the walls OF
the big buildings and their number
was increased by the addition Of sew
eral hundred men
At o'clock Mayor johnson of South
Omaha went before the Omaha police
board and asked that a detail of POI
lice be sent there as he was powerless
to control che lawIess element. He
said he had driven all over the city
and found gangs of strikers patroIling
the streets. waiting for some of the
workmen to show u9 on their way to
work. He had found gangs of fifty to
seventy-hve strikers all armed with
clubs. the local police force was
powerless to cope with these organized
mObs, and unless some radical meas
ures were taken to suppress the dis
orderly element tn re would be men
murdered and the packing house dis
triet would be in ashes before to-
night. The board was informed that
the governor was in consul tatiOn with
the packers with a view Of putting
the packing house district under mar
tai law. and concluded to await his
action
The packing house managers held a
conference and at its close Mr.. Cudahy
notified the adjutant general that un-
less the workmen could be given
adequate protection all packing
houses would be compelled to close
down to-day. He said the managers
do not feel like endangering their
plants by keeping them at work while
their men are in danger OF assault.
CIn the evening the governor and
a jutant general met the packers to
canvass the matter The packers de-
clared that the situation was most
critical, and the governor finally con-
cluded to do nothing until to-day. and
then. if there was no Improvement
to call for troops.

who left the plants Tuesday night
and went home to sleep were unable
to return to work yesterday. In some
instanc s their houses were watched
by strikers. and they were fraid to
venture out. Men who were on their
way to work were turned back by
strikers and not allowed to pass the
strikers picket lines. In one instance
three policemen were unable to
escort one Of the ght tank men
to his home. A mob Of fifty or more
strikers would not permit them to
pass and the laborerS had to re turn

Father Ignatius is calling attention
to the miserable lack of preaching abil-
ity among the clergy Of the English
church. His criticisms are fully justi-
fed. even when he declares:
1T is high time that something were
done to prevent the grievous torture
inflicted every Sunday upon SO large a
number of the church going population.
Why should people who are utterly IN
able to preach be compelled to try to do
SO Sunday after Sunday for the whole
course of their lives? They are a misery
to themselves and a torture to their fell
low creatures, and they cause many per-
sons to dread the Sabbath and the house
of God .
