Annual Excursion of the Employees
at the Lagoon.

Following closely upon the heels of
the pleasant trolly party of the night
previous, came the annual outing of
the employees Of z. G. NJ. 1. yesterday,
Lagoon being the place selected by
unanimous choice. AS is usual, the
various departments were closed early
in the day; as is usual, AIN excellent
dinner was served; as is usual, each
and every employee had a free ticket;
as is usual, every body had a good time;
as is usual, all the employees feel bet
ter today and have a kindlier feeling
for the men who manage that great in
Stitution known to the world as Y. c..
M. I.
To those who have become accus-
toned to factory excursions" as seen
in the east and In the west, yesterday S
worn-out woman or girl, such as Tom
Hood might have used for his model
in his famous Song of the Street." or
the half-Starved Sweat band" was not
in evidence. But the boys and the girls
and the men and the women who make
up the busy hives known as z. G. NJ. I.
factories were all there, and they were
bright and beautiful to behold There
was taste, there was even elegance in
dress; there was an air about it all
that added fresh proof to the adage
that there is dignity IN labor. There
are few cities or towns that can make
such a. showing.
And again. the employees were not
merely turned loose and told to go and
have a good time; the heads OF the
great house, from Superintendent Web
Der down, were present to see that they
did have it-and it is a question wtleth-
er the guests were happier in accepting
the favors shown than were the hosts
in giving them. 1t was altogether an
enjoyable affair, and the spectator
could not help but wish that such
scenes were of more frequent occur
renee in this as we'll as in other COM
munities.
A pleasing programme of out door
sports managed by Superintendent
Ronney, had been arranged for the
afternoon, and it included foot races, a
novel needle and-thread-race potato
race, children's race, boat race, target
shooting and a guessing contest-the
number of seeds in a watermelon.
The musical programme was one OF
the big features of the day. and the
performers, to the credit of the insti-
tuition be it said, were mainly the en-
ployees.
All in all, it is doubtful if the q. C.
M. [ people ever spent a more enjoy
able day.

UNION PACIFIC SALE.
Possibility of an Appeal From the
! Omaha Decision.

Washington, Sept. S.-Senator For
aker of Ohio and Senator Harris of
Kansas, who ara members of a, sub
committee appointed by the Pacific
railroad committee of the senate to in
quire into the sinking fund of the Union
and Central Pacific railroads and other
minor questions, held an Informal
meeting today. Inasrnuch as tine COM
nli1tee was appointed before the decree
for the sale Of the Union Pacific was
entered at Omaha, 1T was decided that
nothing could be done. Senator Harris
is anxious that the decree Snail not be
carried out and the road sold before
the next, session Of congress. II the
attorney general should enter an appeal
from the Omaha decision a question
he is now considering, 1T will be to
carry the matter over. pStll the next
session of congress. Senator Foraker
saw the attorney general a few minutes
today and he and Senator Harris have
an enga cement with him for tomorrow,
at which the situation will be discussed.
After q. further conference this after
noon the subcommittee completed its
work and adjourned. A letter was sent
to the attorney general bearing on the
question of the sinking fund of the
Union PaciGc for such action as he
may deern proper in the event of the
sale of THE road, a decree for which has
been entered at Omaha. In 1885, 1t Is
stated, Secretary Lamar reported that
up to that time large amount OF
money, approxi1nating 100000, paid to
the Pacific Mail Steamship company,
and charged to the item of GENERATING
expenses. should have been converted
into the Union Pacific sinking fund. As
the same practice probably has con-
tinued since that time the amount that
should have been converted into that
fund has continued. AS the understand
ing is that the sinking fund is TO be
included with the other property in the
sale of the road, the sub-comnlit-
tee deemed it proper that the attorney
generals attention should be called to
the fact.
This was the only question touched
upon by the subcommittee; that of the
investigation of the alleged fraudulent
issue of land patents to the Pacific rail
roads going over until December.

THE SHORT LINE JAPs.
Places of the Malcontents Are Being
Filled.
Especial to The Herald.)


Pocatello. Ida. Sept. S.-While the
strike of the Japanese track laborers
is practically ended, Contractors Rem
ington and Kumamoto are having con-
siderable trouble with the refractory
ones. OF the 400 Japanese section men
on the Short Line, 100 have either
been discharged or refused work
and their places will be filed by Japs
imported from Portland The Japs'
kick has never been against the Short
Line company, but against the big per-
centage OF their wages held out by the
contractors, through whom they are
employed. superintendent Vanhousen
said this evening to The Herald repre-
sentative that the grievance of the
Japanese agitators had always been
personal, and as rapidly as they quit
work the company would fill their
places, and understanding this most of
the Japs resumed work.

The number of cases tried at the last
term of Robson Criminal Court in which
the defendants were violators of the law
against carrying concealed weapons was
very large. These cases occupied nearly
half of the time of the Court and in every
instance except one the defendants were
let go upon payment of costs. We are
not an advocate of harshness upon the
part of judge, but the statute against
carrying concealed weapons is violated
more frequently than any other of the
laws of the State. 1t seems, therefore
that the punishment for violation of the
law should be sufficiently severe to deter
old offenders from a repetition of the
practice and to prevent others from be-
ginning it. The law should either be
more rigidly enforced or repealed. As
it now stands it is almost dead letter, a:
violators are let off with the minimum
penalty provided by the act.

FULL OF DISGRACE.
Allegro Politician Rejects and Selects Jurors.
Elizahcth City Economist

Elizabeth City Economist.
We had never thought we would have
to bow our head in shame for old Gates.
Her honor has always been dear to us
and her name the synonyme of all chat
was excellent in virtue and heroism in
manhood. But, alasi we have lived to
see it fall and have its name stained with
disgrace. Countrymen of the Willeys,
the Gatlings, the Parkers, the Coopers,
the Roberts, the Morgans, the Smiths;
and others as high up in the roll of honor
weep with us at her degradation. !.
The commissioners of Gates county are
Geo. J. Costen, J. F. Sparkman and Nath-
aniel Eure. The two first are pub-pops,
of the darkest, deepest dye. The last is
true Democrat, but helpless in the hands
of his ignoble associates. Some weeks
since they drew a jury preparatory to the
meeting of the superior court for the
county last week. When they were
drawing the jury they called on Jim Jen.
kins, buck negro and Republican poll
tician, to assist them in selecting jury
Every one of the names as drawn wa.
submitted to the negro, Jim, to pro
nounce upon his fitness as juror If h,
said no, he was thrown out; if Jim &C
cepted him he was accepted. When tn,
outrageous ceremony was finished jim
had selected fourteen negroes, and re
4 jected as decent white men as were to b.
found in the country.
We do not know Costen nor Spark
man, the two nice commissioners, and W
have no ambition to know them. w
once knew George Costen and his fathe
James, but we are sure he would not s
dishonor his lineage as to be party t
: such disgraceful transaction. The mer
, suspicion of it nauseates us. We dismis
the foul thought. We beg pardon fo
the unwelcome suspicion. Jim was not
commissioner, nor an officer of any kind
but was simply an of6cious adviser of
miserable majority of the county board {
commissioners, who needed the advice
: Jim's superior intelligence. Some of tt
negroes Jim selected had not paid the
taxes, and hadto pledge their jury tick
!. for the payment.
II When Judge Bryan learned of this di
/ graceful procedure. he directed the soil

The views of Mr.. Herbert, formerly
OF Alabama, but lately of Cleveland's cab
met. relative to the South will be widely
read and in the main approved. The
Northern people after thirty-two years of
peace, have held in distrust the South.
ON the other hand, and with equally as
good, perhaps much better cause, the
South has not had confidence in the
North. The Northern press with its vast
circulation and influence has done vast
injury to the South by Misrepresentation
and even SANDER. The legislation of
Congress, controlled by the North, has
been so often hurtful and offensive to the
South that the best informed and truest
citizens have held the North at arms
length and most naturally. Even after
thirty-two years of peace the war in the
Northern press has continued and the
bloody shirt has been the rallying symbol
ana the expression of Northern feeling
ana antagonism. 1t is passing away tc
some extent. But there are constan,
groupings out of sectional dislike and ex
preston OF very insulting sort seen il
Norther prints. If Mr.. Herbert has an,
reference to trusts" i'll what he says O
corporations" he is mistaken in believ
ing the South either favors or is in Low,
with such oppressors and robbers TIL,
Iiavemeyer and tobacco and other villain
GUS trusts are not in favor with the peopl,
Mt large. Individuals favor them becaus,
they are favored by them. The robbed
people do not like them now.-Wilmine
