These lines are not original with me. They
are taken from a tuneful little ditty sung
in George Ade'scomedy Peggy from Paris
The jingle danced through my brain the
other day as we lay on the siding at Prairie
junction, or some such place, to let the
Santa Fe's west bound California Limited
go by. 1t was a gorgeous train OF palace
cars, and behind the plate glass observation
windows beauty and fashion and youth and
old age were 1olling among the luxuriant
cushions, some visiting, some reading, some
pleasantly doing, some making wreaths Of
cigar smoke, some gazing dreamily through
the windows. at the passing cities, and
fields, and forests and rivers.
/ stood on the rear platform of the last
ear OF our train and watched the California
Limited as she faded away toward the gold
en- west. And I thought Of the difference
between travel now and travel in the days
Of 40, when it took the gold seeker half a
long, weary year, filled with all kinds of
covered in three days. / thought of the
slowly moving wagons, the dust, the stones,
the jolting, the thirst, the hunger, the
ho~mesickness, the snaillike crossing of
plains, the laborious climbing of mountains,
the weary dragging weeks, the never ending
trail.
In these palaces that had just glided by
were people going to the same place to
spend the winter months where the climate
is perpetual summer. And they were not
to endure a single hardship on the journey.
When night came they were to lie in beds
whose soft embrace makes sleep a luxury
and in the day time the velvet cushions Of
their seats were to be made deeper still by
pillows-and thy were to spend a delightful
part Of their time in the gilded and glittering
dining car, where every dainty that ever
tickled the palate is enticingly served-ins
comforts of home-and Of the best kind Of
home.
+ stood there and watched them pass out
of sight while my soul was consumed with
envy. But | derived some consolation out
'of resolving that sometime ], too, would
see California, and / promised myself that

THE OMAHA EmPL0YERs' UNIO

1.-THE OMAHA EMPLOYERS' UNIOT.
 The right of labor to organize and
 work for its own benefit has become | pretty we'll established. It has been pretty generally exercised, and lately
 it has been exercised in such a way as 1 to lead to some interesting movements
 among employers of labor. One of
 these has been made in Omaha, where eight hundred business men have got
 hold of the idea that they have as good l a right to organize for mutual protec- tion against the labor unions as the latter have to combine for mutual ag- l gression upon them. The Omaha Elm
 ployers' union isn't spelling for fight.
 It declares that it seeks no fight with organized labor in any form. so long as it's own rights Fare not interfered
 with. Its position is that. while or
 ganized labor has the undoubted right to become associated together for any lawful purpose, yet, when it becomes breaker of the law. by resorting to intimidation, threats or personal vio- fence; the picketing and boycotting of
 persons and firms who are unwilling to
 submit to it's dictation, when it be-
 comes an obstruction to commerce by
 interfering with the lawful pursuits of individuals or firms, or when it takes upon itself the duty of ehastising persons who are seeking to make an honest living in such manner as seems best, it then becomes an unlawful, illegal and unpatriotic combination of men, who must be met with whatever organization and force are necessary, in order that the principles of this gov ernment may be maintained, which
 guarantee to all Individuals life, liberty
 and an opportunity to secure the means of subsistence in such manner as they l may elect.
 Of course the labor unions of Omaha can't properly find any fault with the
 organization of the Employers union, or with it's declaration of principles. Probably there will soon be more Eln-
 ployers' unions. There certainly will be if the labor unions continue to be as
 aggressive as they have been lately.

WAS xEW HAFEx NOISE.

4 rumbiing sound accompanied by a slight vibration resembling an earth quake aroused people in Haddam from their beds at o'clock yesterday morn- ing. The noise was similar to that of heavy thunder, but those who looked from their windows expecting to see an approaching storm were surprised to find the sky entirely clear. Inquiry failed to show that any explosion occur red which would account for the dis turbance. and by general consent in Haddam it has been decided to class the phenomenon with the mysterious "Moodus noises The noise which alarmed the people in Haddam was heard also in Chester. several miles south, while on the opposite side of the Connecticut river in Moodus, East Had dam and as far as Middle Haddam the phenomenon was even more distinct.
 This is the thrilling tale which came from Haddam yesterday. The Moodus noise theory may be all right and it may not. There was an election in New Haven Tuesday. and the count was completed about one o'clock Wednesday morning. Democratic hope and harmo- ny fell down hard here Tuesday night. and it is possible that the shock of the fall was what was heard and felt in Haddam and other places. Things around here are not through shaking yet. and it wouldn't be at ali surprising if the shake were felt elsewhere.

MISSO SHAME.

One lobbyist, the chief of police at
 the State capital and four or five State
 senators indicted; one boodler a fugitive
 from justice, the lieutenant governor
 hidden from the arm os the law and
 like a pitiable refugee from his own
 conscience wandering distractedly about
 the country; and sixteen more legisla-
 tors, q prominent politician and a big
 railroad lawyer implicated in bribery charges--this, says the Kansas City
 Journal, is the result so far of the drag
 net investigation Of the Cole county
 (MissourD grand jury. It has long been
 known that Missouri's capital was a pretty rotten place, but nobody did anything about it until a preacher who was defeate for the chaplaincy of the house early in the session made a scathing arraignment from his pulpit of certain conditions which he claimed ex- isted at the capitol. He was followed by Speaker Whiteeotton, who, in ad- dressing a crowd gathered to celebrate
 the wiping out of the State debt, de- nounced the conduct of certain of his fellow statesmen as so outrageous as to call for the use of hemp. He repeated
 his charges in the house. and as re- suit that body appointed committee of investigation. Positive evidence was discovered that money was used to pre- vent the passage of the textbook com- mission bill. and to keep the alum clause in the pure foods law. Thereup-
 on Judge Hazell, of Cole county, sum-
 moned a grand jury and the legislators finished their business with dispatch and beat hasty retreat to their homes
 and summer resorts, where many now lie hid.
 How shameful is Missouris shame,
 and how glad and proud we all ought to be that there is nothing wrong at
 Connecticut's capital.

rrnE EnR oRAyGE.

Perhaps German army officers are not going to be always allowed to abuse those under them. 4 recent order is- sued by the Hereditary Prince of saxe- MeiniHgen, the General in command of the Sixth Prussian Army Corps. forbid ding the maltreatment of private sol- diers by their superiors has been the object of much approving comment in Germany. It is supposed to have been provoked by the suicide in the neigh borhood of Bresiau of a gunner who had been persecuted by a sergeant. The Prince declares boldly that soldiers de- base themselves by submitting tamely to such abuse, and that officers are to explain to their men that their honor as soldiers is affected. They are order ed to report promptly all such instances of maltreatment to their company off, eers, who in turn are to bring the conl- plaint promptly to the notice of head quarters. Moreover, the Prince directs all officers in charge of recruits to keep a. sharp eye on the non commissioned instructors. The new general order is to be read in the presence of all ranks three times year. The Liberal press generally welcomes the new rule with gratitude, but it is pointed out by some critics that the private soldier would be better protected if court of com plaints were created to which he could make direct application instead of hav- ing to report his grievance to his im- mediate superior and reach the ear of authority by slow stages.

THE CHARMS OF JOHN INGLE-
 SAINT"

For multitudes of every generation the Catholic church has had a profound aesthetic charm. But for many people doubtless in England something of the same charm, a perfection not less rare and delightful, was revealed in the English church, too. 1t may well be for the first time, in John Inglesant. " Perhaps that may go some way to ex- plain why this book has been so be- loved. Not so much for it's own sake, for it's charm, it's delightful pictures of England and Italy, its dainty philoso- phies, it's romance, but for the sake of it's exposition of the ideal perfection of the Church of England it has been
