"DICTATION BY UNIONISM"
Bishhp Declares 1t as Constituting as O
Detestab1e OEgarchy-It is Also
Un-Anerican, He says.


Un-American, He says.
Lincoln, Neb., June 12.-In his COM
mencement Grafton at Nebraska Wes-
leyan university Bishop II. w. War
ren, Of Colorado, discussed the strike
question at some length. He described
dlctation by unionism as constituting
detestable oligarchy, although APP
proving of organized laEor as general
proposition. He said:
There have been cities as readily
held up as if occupied by TO eign
army, and nearly every industry
brought to a standstill by the attitude
OF men numbering one in 100. All
this is un-American, and must inevita-
bly, go down. For any body of men
TO erect themselves up as dictators to
a whole community, is setting up an
0llgarchy as detestable as that of Nero
ana RObespierre. The cool sense and
experience of the American people that
has faced thousand difficulties will
eventually surmount this one"

MORGAN'S DOG-MEAT.
Foxy Foragers Saved Their Booty
and Played IL joke on
the General.

An old soldier of the Thirty-fourth
Illinois tells an interesting reminis-
cence of the Fourteenth Army corps.
which occurred during its race after
Hood, says the American Tribune.
Gen. Morgan had given orders one
night no one should leave camp; but,
as the boys were hungry, they sneaked
Off on foraging expedition. They sue
ceeded in finding a large number of
chickens, turkeys, etc, and, knowing
that trouble would follow their return
to camp, one of them caught a dog,
which he dressed nicely. Meanwhile
the absence Of the men was noted. and
Gen. Morgan ordered their arrest.
When they were brought to camp un-
der guard, they were made to pile up
their booty in front Of the generals
tent. The dog attracted his eve Che
thought it was mutton). and ordered
his cook to prepare it for him.
When the march was again taken
up, the general rode out, and looked
as slick and happy.as you please. The
boys could even imagine that he was
licking his chops over that mutton.
suddenly some one yelled dog meat!''
instantly the word was taken up along
the line. The general endeavored to
hunt upthe offenders. but it was of no
use, and dog meat came to be the one
morn that was constantly irritating
the general 1T was a by-word of the
Fourteenth corps, and il was not long
before Morgan understood the joke.
