A BROKEN PROMISE.
Omahogs Violate Pledge in Order to
Secure Business ADVANTAGE,

Omahogs Violate Pledge in Order to
Secure Business Advantage.
When the Omaha Commercial Club
wanted an endorsement from the Fed
Grated Commercial Clubs of Nebraska
for the national corn show in Omaha,
it's representatives promised to fix the
show dates so as not to injure the
holiday business of merchants
throughout the state. Having secured
the endorsement, the Omahogs pro-
ceeded to set the dates during the
busiest of the holiday buying season.
The corn show attraction, together
with the low rates, is calculated to
take thousands of Nebraska and Iowa
people to Omaha, with the result that
the big department stores of that city
will gather in the cream of the Holt
day trade, to the detriment of business
men in the smaller towns. 1t will be
a long time before Omaha again
works a dirty trick like that. Your
home merchants deserve your patron
age. The merchants of a city who
resort to tactics like those resorted
to by Omaha merchants might resort
to similar tactics in their dealings
with you.

THIS TIckLEs US NIGHTLY.
Local Business Men Up Against the
"Scab" Larkin Company.


It's about the funniest thing we've
noticed lately-this complaint from
local business men that the "Larllin
Soap Club" scheme is hurting their
business. AS long as these business
men thought that the "scab" Larkin
Soap Co. was only hurting union men
and women they didn't pay any atten-
ton to it. THE Larkin company had
right to manage it's own business to
suit ITSELF" don't you know. What
darned fools those union men and
women were, to be sure, for trying to
prevent their friends from patronizing
this unfair concern
It's different now. Those same
business men are hollering their
heads off because the "Larkin Soap
Club" scheme is taking dollars out of
their pockets. AS long as the Larkin
outfit only took wages out of the
pockets of the workers it was all
right, but just as soon as they found
out that they were being injured the
local merchants proceeded to make a
holler that can be heard from Alpha
to Omaha from Hades to Breakfast.
| As we remarked in the beginning,
this tickles us mighty near to death.
And the louder the merchants boiler
the more it tickles us. Perhaps it will
have the effect of making the local
merchant realize that what benefits
the wage Garner also benefits him.
When that great truth percolates
through his Uranium there is some
hope for him.

w. E. Sharp doubtless enjoyed his

Citizens crowd is now in absolute
control of the traction interests of Lin

that Mr. Scudder bet a suit of clothes
that the Citizens company would
never run a car.
The consolidation has already re-
suited in a decreased car service, and
gangs are now at work taking down
trolley wire and taking up rails along
the old Citizens route. 1t is to be
hoped that the new management will

Labor Temple Has Proved to be .
Profitable Investment


Profitable Investment.
The annual statement Of the d.
rectors Of the Toronto Labor Temple
shows that the years business was a
profitable one. The receipts amounted
to $13,568.33, leaving balance Of ST.
s56.18. The assets of the company are
the building, $35,sss.34; furniture,
81, 500. The profits show an unde-
cIared dividend of over 10 per cent.
The excess of assets over liabilities is
|$17,3o9.s7. The original allotment Of
stock has been taken up, and the SIM
gle transaction of $500 for the year
closed the final allotment. At present
there is no stock on the market, and
the company will not issue any more,
as the stock as it now stands is worth
more than double what was paid for
it.

THE MUSICIANS.
Take a Liberal Slice of Labor Temple
Stock and Boost.

The Musicians Union at it's last reg
ular meeting took hold of the Labor
Temple project and gave it nice
boost. By unanimous vote 1892 was
appropriated for the purchase of Tenn
pie stock, and it is generally agreed
that in the near future the local will
again boost in financial way.
Owing to the nature of their pro-
fession the musicians need a room
where they can indulge in band and
orchestra actice, and this, of course,
would hardly be possible in build
ing like the Labor Temple. For that
reason the Musicians Union is casting

GOOD FOR THE PREACHER.
Landed on the Optic of an lnsistent
Bill Collector.

Every now and then we hear of men
who think that because man is a
preacher he will take any old insult.
And when we hear of preacher who
will not submit to insult merely be-
cause he is a clergyman, We feel like
throwing up our union hat and cheer
ing him. That's why We cheer for
Rev. l.. G. Parker. We don't know
much about the merits of the case, but
we know that Parker is minister,
and that a bill collector seemingly
sought to take advantage of the fact.
The result was that the reverend gen.
tleman landed on the bill collectors
optic, giving 1t the color Of some
what decomposed piece of beef.
Rev. Mr.. Parker appeared in police
court, cheerfully admitted that he had
biffed the complainant, and just as
cheerfully coughed up the usual IS
and costs. II there Is any one man
we admire more than another, it is a
minister who has the courage of his
convictions and the readiness to re-
sent insult by laying aside his cler.
ical coat long enough to smash the
everlasting stufiin' out of the man who
seeks to impose upon his ministerial
profession. That's why We have &C
quired great admiration for Rev
Mr.. Parker, although we've never had
the pleasure of meeting the gentle
man.

But the musicians are a unit in de-

New York, Aug. s-Br9dstreet's review
OF the state Of trade tomorrow will say:
with the advent of August. the new
tariff has become an accomplished fact,
the leading crops assuming more tangible
form, with some tempering Of earlier ex-
uberant estimates Of yields; high premi-
ums on old supplies OF farm products are
disappearing. and the usual fall buyers
excursions are bringing purchases TO
leading markets.
"a measurable expansion in tobbing
distribution in the form Of house trade
is in evidence. while retail trade is still
largely OF a clearance character.
There IS also noted this year what
was absent for two preceding years-a
growing scarcity Of labor. This is still
most marked in the surplus crop produc-
ing regions, and the fast growing sections
OF the West and Northwest, but there
are also reports that employment IS
more steady in the leading Industrial
centers OF the country. With the enlarge
ment Of the new crop movement. wheat
supplies have begun 10 increase, and a
renewal Of expert buying is reported.
This. coupled with enlarged movement
OF coal, lumber. iron and steel. and gen
eral merchandise Is giving the railroads
more TO do. and there is already talk Of
the disappearance OF ilde cars from the
list. Money is feeling the call for crop
moving purposes and hrmer rates are in
progress. That the general business sit
uation IS essentially sound is also evil
denced by the comparatively small num-
Der Of business suspensions, and the
lightest monthly failure liabilities wit
messed for three years past.
