Some Observations Made on General
Things by Union Man.
On Tenth and o there were some
men standing and the following is the
conversation overheard between
them:
whats the difference between nude
and naked?"
One said he did not know. One
said, "the excise board One said.
The city improvement club, the same
that kicked the poor bootblack's kit of
the sidewalk" A newcomer spoke
up and said: "You are evidently dis
cussing some pictures in an o street
book store window that I have just
seen,'' and they answered in the affirm
tive.
u will answer your question By
asking another: What would be the
difference in our stripping of our
clothing and running down o street
and looking in this book store this
Sunday morning, June 4th?"
What in the name of decency are
the police force and excise board and
other organizations that are supposed
! to look out for the morality of this
peaceful city doing anyhow? I want
to say that the man or woman that is
responsible for those pictures being
in that show window is worse than
any prostitute that. ever walked the
streets. Because a book store is sup
posed to be place where child
could go without being ashamed of it.
my advice is to every father and
mother and everybody else that has
decency enough left to have an hon.
est wish to go to heaven after they
die to cut that particular book store
from their visiting list, and spread
the knowledge of the character of the
place."
Having delivered the above the man
walked on.
1.-The conversation Jagged, and
| strolled down the street. / soon came
up with a crowd that was standing
around one Of the rare public institu-
lions of Lincoln, namely; drinking
fountain. The crowd were waiting
their time to quench their thirst. FL
nally it dawned on the intellect OF
| some Of them that they would starve
| to death before they would all get
| drink. It reminded me of a story
about grist mill in Kentucky where
a certain farmer had the material for
Johnnie-cake ground. Depositlng MS
sacks of grains and while they were
| being ground he thought he would go
and Ticker up some. When later ne
called, he asked the miller If his grain
was ground. The miller answered
No 'Shich-a-ell-of-a-mill,e eat it FASH

sarcastic tone asked him how long
he could eat it. It'll starve 10

IN CHICAGO.
The Teamsters' Strike Practically Lost
and Some Ugly Charges Made.

The Teamsters' Strike Practically Lost
and Some Ugly Charges Made.
The Transfers strike in Chicago is
practically lost, and nothing is to be
gained by denying the fact. The odds
were too great. Besides, the strike
seems to have been mismanaged, if
not ill-advised. President Shea made
gallant fight against tremendous
odds, and while he has lost he has
shown himself splendid general.
Early in the week he was thrown
into Jail on contempt charges, brought
before Judge Kohlsatt, who seems
bound to repay the sinister influences
that secured his promotion to the fed
eral bench. President Shea's impris-
onment seems to have been more the
result of Sheriff Barrett's hasty tenn
per than anything else. He is in no
danger of remaining in confinement
long.
The employers association is dis
covering that it played with fire in
instigating reports of rioting and
bloodshed when little or nothing of
the kind happened. The Chicago Pub
lie, edited by Louis F. Post-than
whom no fairer or ADLER exponent of
civic righteousness and fairness lives
says of the employers association
and the exaggerated reports of trou-
BILE:
Their newspapers called for Fed
eral troops, called for them in scare
head lines, before any violence had
been committed. They have called
for them throughout the strike, al
though the actual violence has done
less damage to life and property than
Fourth of. July celebration. They
are calling for them again, now that
the strike is extending, although no
violence has occurred, and nothing
unusual is observable in the streets
except policemen on wagons riding
UcS1uC luO uIlNSIS. ANOJ OAAy nave tAOy
shouted for troops in season and out
of season from the beginning, but they
have tried to make occasion for troops.
When they imported negro strike
breakers from the south they did so
because they hoped and expected that
the strikers would be excited to vio-
lence by the sight of negroes in their
places. A race war is what they
sought, and race war is what they
have almost given us. Their object
has been to involve the city in state
and federal complications, and thereby
to demoralize public sentiment re-
garding Mayor Dunno and his traction
policy, to such at extent as to battle
him in giving that policy effect"
The strike would have been settled
long ago and all trouble averted, had
it not been for the arrogant attitude
of the express companies. Some of
these days Uncle Sam will go into
the express business and then the ar
rogant express company managers will
have ample time to sit and bite their
thumbs. The sooner the better.

WASHINGTON, Feb. %. - Repre-.
sentative Vandiver MOI has intro
duced the following resolution in the
house:
Resolved, That the attorney general
inform the house at his earliest con-
venience whether or not any proceed
ings have been instituted, either civil
or criminal, against the armor plate
trust and If not why not; and further
Resolved. That the attorney general
also inform the house what steps have
been taken by him to determine wheth-
er or not the said armor plate trust
should be prosecuted for violation of
the United States antitrust law or 9th
er United States statutes against trusts
and combines in restraint Of trade"
The resolution was referred to the
judiciary committee.
A preamble to the resolution recites
that on Sept. 9, 1901, the attorney gen.
eral was petitoned to institute civil
and criminal proceedings against the
Carnegie Steel company and the Beth
lehem Steel company as combining and
constituting what the petition alleged
was an armor plate trust for control

there was filed with the attorney gen
eral and with the president state
ment of the facts and evidence showing
conspiracy whereby the trade and
commerce in armor plate had been mo-
n0polzed and the armor plate trust en-
abled to sell many thousand tons Of
armor plate to the United States gov
eminent at prices ranging from $445 to
$500 per ton after duly appointed
board of expert naval constructors had
reported that the actual cost of the ar
NOR did not exceed Sl97 per ton. The
preamble further alleged an agreement
between the Carnegie and Bethlehem
companies as to prices and that they
have divided the contracts of the gov
eminent between themselves, each bid
ding lower than the other for one-half
Of the armor required at any time by
the government Additional evidence
of this conspiracy to prevent free and
open competition In bids for armor

in the first degree, although he had
not looked into the case to any extent
as yet.
Mr. Martin is personally acquainted
with the prisoner and the other menu

been to school with the daughter. He
said that the prisoner was highly
respected young man of the place and
that he does not understand what the
motive for the shooting could have
been. Mr. Martin said the farm at
