How Is Your Company?

In the event OF war large number Of
oar best citizens could not serve their
country as volunteers without paying a
forfeit which any man might hesitate to
pay.
These are they who hold life-insurance
policies. They have for years paid pre-
miums on policies in order that at their
death their loved ones might be provided
for. With many of them life insurance
constitutes the only, or at least the chief,
provision made for their families.
Enlistment even in the hour OF the
country's sorest need would forfeit the
policies, and many brave fellow ready
to risk his life in the countryis service
may well hesitate to pay the fearful
price Of his family's impoverishment for
that privilege.

John A. MacMurphy, one OF Nehras-
ka's oldest journalists, died Wednesday
evening last at Omaha of heart failure
He was born in New Jersey and was Go
years old. He began his newspaper
work in New York city, at one time be-
ing contributor to Frank Leslie's pub
lications. He came to Nebraska in 1857,
locating at Decatur. When the war
broke out he returned to New York, and.
as member OF the First n. Y. Mounted
Rifles, served nearly three years in the
eastern armies, returning to Decatur in
1864. Mr.. MscMurphy was for quite a
while writer on the Omaha Republi-
can, his articles signed Tip Top" at
tracing considerable attention. In 1872,
he bought the Blair Times; after that
the Plattsmouth Herald. the Schuyler
Sun. the Wahoo Wasp, the South Omaha
Hoof and Horn, then the Beatrice
Times. When in his prime, Mr.. Mac
Murphy was lively, racy, witty writer,
and was considered an excellent cores
pondent. His fun wasn't Of the mechan-
ical sort, but had at times a rich natur-
alness that provoked hilarity from the
most sedate of his readers. What was
mortal of our friend will be laid to rest
at Plattsmouth. His wife, who survives
him, will have in this city many ladies
who will sympathize With her in her
deep affliction.

Commencing yesterday, mail clerks
are expected to weigh all mail they take
on or put of their cars, which will be
kept up for thirty-five days. This is
done for the purpose Of getting a basis
from which to make contracts with the
railroads for carrying the mails for the
next four years. The Bee remarks that
it is hardly complimentary to the morals
Of the managers Of our great railway
systems that it should be necessary for
the poa}& authorities to ask congress to
impose legal penalties on persons who
pad the mails during the period when
they are weighed for the purpose Of
fixing the compensation to be paid the
railroads for carrying them. Nobody
would have any incentive to pad the
mails unless the railroads made it worth

Socialism may be all right or
all wrong, or partly right and
partly wrong. Herbert Spen-
Ger thinks it is inevitable and
deplorable. However this may
be, it's progress in this country,
as we'll as in Europe, is proof
that no amount of persecution
and abuse will destroy pro-
paganda that holds as its ideal
state controlled by other prin-
cipals than those OF loot and
lust: Give every honest man a
hearing. That is the lesson of
the day, brothers and sisters.
Listen respectfully to him, if he
speaks for better men and bet
ter deeds, even if you have
difficulty in following the
strange leaps of his magma
ton. The man who hopes for
the development Of the best
traits Of human nature. may be
crazy, but he is Intimately more
1ovab1e than the man who goes
craftily ahead, gambling on the
rule of the worst traits.

Many of the railroad men are
disappointed that the engineers
refused to go into the fedora
ton of railway employees as a
national body. There were a
good many of the delegates to
the engineers convention who
thought it would be i'll advised
to make themselves liable to
have to strike on account of
other mems quarrels, and the
conservative element carried
the day. Nevertheless the adj
vocates of federation are conf
dent that before the next con
vention the engineers will be
ready to vote for the alliance.
In the meantime the engineers
are already affiliated with the
other orders on many systems
and even without a ). formal
treaty they have stood by their
fellows in many a former griev-
ance. The refusal of the engin-

Flush times are coming. The
country went through such a
period in the twenty years up
to the panic of '73 and had
another spell of it in the boom
years after 1880. They come in
spite of bad social adjustments
and one of those periods IS COM
ing now. Organized labor must
look sharp to get the benefit OF
it and be prepared for the evil
days that inevitably follow.

tries. Organized labor is not
going on record as limiting the
showing of human brother
hood.
Positively good and wise was
the proposal to take advant-
age of women's interest and
organize auxiliary societies
among sympathizers. Those
unions which have tried to
emphasize the social side Of
unionism can testify to the
benefits gained for the move
ment and for the members.
Again the position was we'll
taken, in line with union agi-
tation and the attitude of the
American Federation, urging
t h at charter commissions
should better embody the prin-
ciple of the initiative and refer
endum. No work is more i'm
portant for the common people
for whom labor organizations
stand, than direct legislation.
It is one of the things that can
be got, and that quickly, if the
unions and their declarations
will insist on it. =.
In the main the convention is
to be congratulated on it's good
taste and temper, and organ
lied labor is much more to be
congratulated on it's represenl-
tation there. The outlook was
never better from the union
mans point of view.
