is nothing new in the shop situation

does not know how many more will
be employed, if any. Mr.. Whitney, the
assistant superintendent, went west
with him.
w. c. Deming of the Cheyenne Tri-
bune. who was at Omaha yesterday,
telegraphed the following to his paper
last night:
The Union Pacific railroad situation
presents conflicting aspects. The en-
couraging features, however, are quite
as strong as the discouraging. After
five days conference between the car
builders executive committee and Supt.
of Motive Power McKeen, an agree
ment has been signed with which both
sides are said to be pleased. 1t was a
readjustment of affairs brought about
by changes in the conditions OF rail
way operation during the past few
years and resulted in concessions by
both sides and as an average give the
a builders a small increase in wages.
The executive committee of the ma
chinists asked for a conference with
the officials at 3 o'clock Friday after
noon and were promptly met. They
presented demands practically the
same as those made one month ago.
New rules and higher wages are the
chief contentious. Nothing. however.
was accomplished at the meeting and
the conference will be resumed Satur-
day at 10 o'clock.
When the machine shops closed at
Omaha Friday evening at $50, notices
were posted letting out one hundred
and thirty men including m%achinists,
carpenters. etc.

Part of the Individual in Politics.

Now that the campaign is over,
Bryan'S Commoner calls attention to
facts pertinent to every community
which are as important as good gov
eminent, and which in effect are that
much remains for the individual to do.
No government, however good, can save
a citizen from the punishment which
follows evil doing. and no govern
ment. however bad, can entirely rob
Il citizen of the reward which meri-
tOriOuS conduct earns. Under any
government. however good. the citi-
zen who is idle and slothful will lag
behind the one who is diligent and at
tentive to business; under any gov
eminent, however good, the citizen
who destroys his strength by dissipa-
ton will fare badly as compared with
the one who leads temperate life:
under any government. however good.
the citizen who wastes his substance
in riotous living will come out at last
to husks, while the one who econo-
mixes and saves is laying the founda-
tion of u fortune. While under any
government. however bad. those who
have high ideals. who exercise self
restraint ana VINO peTSeNere IN Inelr
labors will surpass those who live
from hand to mouth and surrender to
appetite and passion that supremacy
which should be held by head and
heart.
Government may raise or lower the
general level, but the position which
any given person occupies with rela-
ton to his fellows depends. as gen
eral rule. more upon himself than up
on any law.
Then, too, reform Legislation can
only be secured by cooperation among
many. while each one can reform him
self without asking the aid or con
sent of anyone else, just as anyone
can throw himself away in spite of all
that others can do.
Without abating his interest in po-
litical reforms, without abandoning
his efforts for social reforms, each
one can resolve to make the most of
every talent and opportunity, and,
under the inspiration of a high pur-
pose, devote every energy of body,
head and heart to the work of life,
finding pleasure in usefulness and
compensation in the consciousness of
duty DONE

Eager for a Change.

The position taken by The Argus of
last evening, that the time has arrived
for a change in the control of the af-
fairs of the democratic party in Rock
Island, has found responsive chord
in the hearts of all party members
who look unselfishly to the best inter
ests of their political organization.
The methods in general that have
been pursued since the last county
convention, as referred to in detail
last evening, are self-condemnatory
The one man control has had its in

The party is not only ready but

That Coal DntY.

Nobody will deny that Richard Oh
ney is good lawyer. and IN his re-
cent speech to the democratic club of
Massachusetts he made the following
emphatic statement as to the antlira-
cite coal roads of Pennsylvania:
Yet who are they who were so in
sistent upon the suppression of law
lessness in the mining regions? Why,
the most unblushing and persistent
lawbreakers. For years they have de-
fed the law of Pennsylvania which
fOrbids common carriers engaging in
the business of mining. For years
they have Disseminated between GUS
toners in the freight charges on their
railroads in violation of the inter
have unlawfully monopolized inter
state commerce in violation of the
Sherman antitrust law.
The members of the United States
senate had full knowledge of this law
lessness when, on June 30, 1897, they
were called upon to vote on Senator
Allison's amendment putting a tariff
on anthracite coal. The democrats in
the senate protested against it. SEN
ator Allen said:
Why exclude coal from elsewhere
and levy upon the poor people of the
Atlantic seaboard and other portions
of the United States a tariff in addi-
ton to the original cost of the coal,
and compel every freside in the thir-

Literary Notes.

\ magazine thirty years old: The
Christmas (December) number of The
Delineator is also the thirtieth ami
versary number. To do justice to
this number. which for beauty and
utility touches the highest mark. it
would be necessary to print the en-
tire list of contents. 1t is sufficient
to state that in it the best modern
writer's and articles are generously
represented. The book contains over
230 pages, with "a full-page illustra-
tions, of which 20 are in two or more
colors. The magnitude of this De-
cember number, for which 72S tons
of paper and six tons of ink have been
used, may be understood from the
fact that 81 presses running II hours
a day, have been required to print it;
the binding alone of the edition of
$4,000 representing over 2O.0O0,OO0
sections which had to be gathered
individually by human hand.
