INC EnemY o. Labor.

The laboring mans doom is fast
and surely approaching, and before
many decades have passed the
masses will be more destitute than
ever. tits a verified fact that
trusts are being formed daily,
which deprive the laborer of his
just and honest rights. Such a,
state of things are making therich
man richer and the poor man poor
er." But that is their purpose
to control the laboring people and
reduce wages. 1t is said that every
human being has an equal right in
this country of freedom. but it
seems that the laboring class is not
getting its just allowance.
Industries and manufacturing
plants of all kinds are being
brought up by few rich men who
form trust or combine for "the
purpose of protecting their inter
ests in the markets. :, Soon bust
ness becomes slack and they are
compelled to make a cut in the
wages of their employees" Their
factories are always kept in opera
ton but the wages of their en-
ployes are not advanced in accord
ance with the prices of their pro-
ducts. The poor man is, therefore
compelled to pay big price for
what he buys and take a low price
for what he sells. Is such state
of robbery lawful among christian
people, such as we? 1t seems to
be.
Labor only, can stop this national
evil, and that by organization. The
laboring men can accomplish as
much as the rich men can if they
adopt the proper plans. They
must organize and help to set the
price for labor. By SO doing they
can, to a certain extent, control
their interests. The market must
be supplied and the laboring man
must supply it.

between body Of striking miners aud
the sheriff of Luzerne county and his
deputies, in which % miners were kill
ed and Al wounded, of whom 10 of the
killed and IL of the wounded were
Austrian and Hungarian subjects.
This deplorable event naturally
aroused the solicSude of the Austro
Hungarian government, which, on the
assumption that the killing ard
wounding involved the unjustif1aib.e
misuse of authority, claimed repara-
Ton for the sufferers.
Apart from the searching investiga-
zion and peremptory action of the au-
;horities of Pennsylvania, the federal
executive took appropriate steps to
learn the merits of the case, In order
to be in a position to meet the urgent
complaint of a friendly power.
The sheriff and his deputies, having
been indicted for murder, were tried
and acquitted after protracted proceed
ings and the hearings Of hundreds OF

to uphold law and preserve public or

A representative of the department
of justice attended the trial and re-

We still occasionally see that Joe
BARLEY and Eugene Moore are an issue
in this campaign with the pop press.
The fact that these men proved recreant
to their trust is no fault of the republi-
can party. They stood high in the com
munities in which they lived and in the
business world, and republicans who
voted for them had no reason to believe
they were dishonest, otherwise they
would never have been elected. 1t is no
part of the principles OF the republican
party to elect such men to Office ii they
know it. No party will do such thing.
not even the pop party, and no political
organization should be held responsible
for the misdeeds of men elevated to hon.
orable positions unless it is known
beforehand that they cannot be trusted.
A large number Of pop county treasurers
and other officers in this state have
proven to be defaulters. some of them
for large amounts, and none OF them have
been punished, while Joe BARLEY is serv-
ing what is practically life sentence.
Nobody will charge that the pops would
have elected any OF these county treas
urers to Office had they known they
would turn out to be defaulters. 1t is
q settled fact that no republican or
republican newspaper in the state OF
Nebraska has ever attempted to justify
or excuse the crime OF BARLEY or any
other republican Official for stealing the
peoples money.-Blue Valley Blade.

sometimes leaving the bridge a wreck.
Therefore We believe there should be
some authority who should say what

seems a good idea to Us. if all new
bridges to be erected. be built with the

The republican candidate for Float
representative for the counties OF Platte
and Nance, was born in Sweden, August
II, 1853, and came with his parents to
this country in 1855. settling in Stark
county. Illinois.
In 1871, he came to Nebraska locating
in Walker township, Platte county. on
the farm where he has ever since resided.
He has held various Offices of q local
nature. among which may be named
Justice OF the peace for two terms, post
master OF Looking Glass for twenty-five
years, and county supervisor for eight
years, in which latter ONCE he has be-
come veil acquainted With many citi-
Gems throughout the county, and also
has gained an insight into the needs Of
the people With reference to the trans
action OF county, township, school dis
tEict and ether business of 0 public ma
ture.
So that, it IL little wonder that the
delegates Of his party, in convention at
0enoa, selected him to make the race
a&ainst Editor Tanner Of Fullerton.
We do not believe there would be q
particle of doubt OF the election of Nils
Olson, II he and Tanner could make the
canvass together over the district, and
republicans would give q pretty penny
il they could induce Mr.. Tanner to
make the race. Jim would find himself
away in the rear, because the great body
Of the people would be with his oppon-
ent.

election, notwithstanding the fact that
the three political parties, so-called. are
supposed to be solid in support Of Tan
