As early es Friday and Saturday be-

began to arrive and the hotel lobbies

through the lobbies of the three big
hotels where the headquarters of the

Wednesday at noon the convention

was made up Of the same kind of ire
sponsible, Gght-minded stuff as the one

A Misstatenaent.

A Misstatement.
Public speakers are tempted TO
make exaggerated statements in or
der to attract attention and to be
more impressive for the moment.
The Reverend Rowlands yields to this
temptation too frequently. But his
sermons are printed and read by
those who are not members of his
church and who regard the misstate.
ments Of a preacher with less pa
tience than those of other people, for
the very reason that the pulpit is an
elevated stand from which the or.
binary minister speaks to a congre-
cation more or less under the sacer-
dotal influence of the place and Of his
priestly calling.
In recent sermon the Reverend
RoTlands referred to trade unionists
as "murderers and assassins" and
their lodges as "hotbeds," "nests of
mischief" and "kindergartens of
crime where they have fostered assas.
sinations, engineered murderous cru
sades against the welfare of society,
against legitimate business and COM
merce; and instead Of helping they
have injured the toilers."
The most superficial knowledge Of
trades union meetings disproyes such
characterizations. Trades unionism
is development and the best men,
bers of any union are good students of
political and social economy and it is
in such intelligent study Of the hard
est problem in the world that will
eventually do more than anything
else in solving it. Mr.. Arthur in ans
wering Mr.. Rowland's undemonstra.
bic charges reminds him that there
are 100000 unionists in this country
and 100000 in Great Britain. "If
these were assassins this country
would not be the comparatively
peaceful land that it is" Desperate
oiihSiS SoilCoiluCS MIL tuC Lucu WIN
have taken their places and some.
times destroy property. They have
never committed unlawful acts by
the authority or advice of the union
Of which they are members.
In March. a year ago, Mr.. Rowlands
made some curious statements about
the United States which were CON-
mented upon in these columns at the
time. II he makes such breaks about
this country and its government,
which he has seen, how much ere.
dence should be given his words con-
corning the Filipines, which he has
not seen. or that fairest land of all,
which no man has seen?
1t is scarcely wise to call all unions
'hotbeds,' "nests of mischief and
"kindergartens of crime because
few members of unions occasionally
break the law and commit acts of
violence. 1t is also not justifiable
because there is occasionally a min
lister, whose statements are undemon-
strable to conclIed that ministers are
blind leaders, unscholarly, and given
to making assertions without inves-

will be proper that Citizen Barere in

have been q desire to animate the

First Baptist church Of this city to
pen, preach and publish some por-
tions of the sermon which he deliver
ed last Sunday. From that sermon,
as published, this is quoted:
"The negroes we enslaved and bru-
talized. When liberated by the for

that adopted the constitution and
thereby made human slavery part Of
the organized law OF the nation.
Having obOlished slavery we are sol.
emnly told by one who cannot be sup.
posed to have forgotten the command.
''thOu shalt not bear false witness"
that 1--WE" have lynched negroes not
by ones, twos, tens, or hundreds, but
by thousands. Not because they were
guilty of crime. not because they were
charged with crime, not because they
were suspected Of crime, but "when
they gave any suspicion of misbe-
havior." Lynched because of a sus.
picion of bad manners. Who is the
"we' he referred to? The govern
ment has not since the immortal
Lincoln issued his emancipation pro-
clamation lynched any negroes.
While the pastor may be slightly ad.
dicted TO exaggeration he will hardly
assert that he singly and alone or in
connection with the congregation he
was addressing. has lynched so many
negroes on mere suspicion of misbe-
havior. To quote farther from the
sermon:
"No Armenians have suffered from
the Turks and Bashi BaZOuks more
unjustIy and cruelty than have the
Indians suffered from the American
agent and soldier. What ground have
we for believing our treatment of the
Filipinoes would be any better?"
Our high standing as barbarians
will be appreciated by brief refer
enc to the su6erings Of the Armen-
ians. At page AS Of Turkey and the
Armenian Atrocities" by Reverend
E. NJ. Bliss, appears a tabulated state
ment of the outrages DO which the
Armenians were subject in the Har-
put district in the month CT NOvem-
Der, 1895. From this statement it
appears that %, 595 persons. including
81 teachers and ecclesiastics, were
killed, 1883 were burned. 1926 died
from hunger and cold. 1880 died in

repeats remark Mr.. Blaine made
when he asked the manager Of the ex-
cursion for the delegation from South
American countries, il he had ar
ranged the trip SO that the train
should pass through Iowa in the day
time. because he said that Iowa was
the finest agricultural exhibit in the
world. There is more Of Iowa under
cultivation than of Nebraska, but Ne
braska is plantation OF green now.
The long, dark green blades Of the

state. The corn leaves, for lack of
water, had begun to curl and crackle
in the hot wind like fodder stalks, but
the three and FIVE inches Of rain all

ana even the farmers have begun to
smile and admit that Nebraska is q
good agricultural state and that
President Mckinley is reliable man.
