A member of the Order who was slightly concerncdln the same matter, would have-had no reason to complain if he had received "ten days." The writer does not beloive-that a single person has ever been discriminated against the B. C.

T-referred to above, waacauscd by tho action of tho Cedar Rapids train dispatchers, who. at first were the prime movers in asking for a schedule, but who basely deserted their fellows. Had the dispatchers, who occupy a semi-official position, kept their fingers out in the first place, there woolil have been no good cause for finding fault with them for aiding the company, but after ising their "olllcial" influence to get the operators Into the trouble, their desertion deserves theseverest censure.

railway have beea engaged In a struggle in which the former was defeated, and while we regret to be obliged to chronicle the defeat of any tabor organization, there are soino things con" nected, with this strike which should bo of benefit for the future. So rm.n conflicting and erroneous statements have been made In regard to the matter that, in justice to ourselves and the Order, we deem It our duty to correct some of Ihem. In the first place the strike was, in our opinion, ill-fldrlsed and untimely. The 15.. C.

It N. has a reputation for treating it employees better than almost any railroad In the country, and we know that the reputation Is weL'i earned, aud believe that there was reaUy no cause lor the strike. Wo do not core to take up the matter in detail and do not consider it necessary, fur thur than to say that after the break in the ranks of the members, it should have beea apparent to the officers of the organization, that no matter how just their cause might have been, it was a hopeless one. It has been stated in the daily papers that the company refused to recognize tho organization and that this refusal was the prin HOTEL: BLOCK, HERINGTON, KANSAS'.

15, 1892. It is All Qyer. Election passed off here Tuesday the most quiet ol nny we ever saw, especially in one where there was so much Interest taken in it by everybody. There waa'nt a hit of bad blood from morning till nltfht nnd everything went off just like clock work after it had been wound up. sud set a luring.

One thiag that made it so was the precaution taken to make a circle fifty feet away from the polls which precluded any one trom conning near the window where the ballot were taken in to do his election ecr.nfi. This thing ought always to be (lone and the rule should always bestrictLy adhered to. There were 625 vote cast which proved that we have the largest precinct of any in the county by a. good deal too. II.

Crary acted as judges, and 11. Poland Cieo. C. Mosier clerks, antl it took all night and until the next day at noon to canvass the vote. Weoulv have space to give a synopsis of the vote of a part of theolllcers voted for, therefore we will give enough figures to show how Lyon township will usally go, for the vote Tuesday shows that very, very few indeed stayed awuy from the polls, and that the party line were drawn just about as close as any you ever ever saw.

It was the Republican party against the Held and the fjghters on all sides were out with their war paint on both early ami late. On the electoral ticket the republicans carried off a majority of 104 on the state ticket, theii majority was 121. Anthony's majority over Harris was 104, while Burton's majority over John Davis was 118. Thlsler's majority over was 181 and. Hoffman's over KeUy was 131.

Peck got away with. i majority; Halleck with 812. phirk went out with 178 majority and Little with a clear majority over both cane and Seeds of 109. The township officers elected are Trustee, Lowe; Treasner Weavec; Cleuk. Schilling; Justices, Duck audi Crary and Constables LSarr and Cauby.

Taking it all together the vote shows what united aetion will do la an election of the kind, and if every town in the state rolls up as big a republican majority every year as Herington generally does, the republican party need fear but little of ever getting snowed under. A land Slide So far as the general election is concerned there is no doubt that the democrats have carried enough states to give Cleveland a good majority In the electoral college. The dispatches up to this morning indicate a Polar wave and cold day for the party which for so many years has managed the ship of state, and under whose ise administrative management the prosperity of the government and its people have hcen envied and saught by every nation on the face of the earth. Yet we were not satisfied. nuiivwtw, restless, and curious anxiety to do even better has a perennial bud in the American heart ready to burst into a magnificent flower with the slightest cultivation and a gleam of partisan auaaliine.

This fertilizing influence has been.eiau.irately Btrewn along the pathways of our laboring millions and they have bliadly we fear, rushed on the tidal wave. Whether ii will iiush the imaginary sewess and cleanse the corruption, and! filth. supposed, to be lodged iu the party In, powers.ro-mains fap.be seen, and, But bo it as it may, as republicans, wiUi the welfare of out aountry and its people at heart, bow grauofully to the popular will ul our fellow-men and hope that the governmental machinery will continue under the new management to turn, out food for the nation, as wholesome and Invigorating as that which is new in operation. The returns up to the present show that 3 states with an aggregate electoral vote of 270 have gone to rover Cleveland, and IS states with audi electoral voice of 118 will vote for President Harrison. Six states have declared for Weaver and will cant 25 electoral votes for him.

California, Montana and Wisconsin, are yet In doubt Kansas is still in the ranks or the grand fcld party. Though her majority is considerably disfiguered, she is still strong and healthy, and when the struggle for national purity, and' honor again perohes upon the banner of her, strong and unfaulterlng arm will niiw-Uie starry emblem high in the balmy breezes and hold it there till the political' storm, sub- aides and we are again lulled to sleep by a rpaceful and happy victory for thu princi ples we love and cherish.

BOUOAN, Maaaeer. What is Home. There are many So-called homes that do not deserve the name at all. Home means comfort, but when wo have it fixed up so elaborately that we must either sit im the garret or the back yard! to genuinely enjoy ourselves then it is high time we made a change and turned out the too-good-to-use article and substitute for them real homely things that we could enjoy ovei-y day of uie jtmr and every moment of the day. Of what good are cushions so elaborately embroidered that no head can ever repose on them? What sense is therein easy chairs of such rich material that they are quite the reverse of the name given them Is there any satisfaction in a room the furnishings of whicli cost hundreds of dollars, when it Is only open at rare intervals, while the owner, perhaps, sits 4y tho kitchen fire or in some dingy sitting room, where he can smoke if wants to, put his feet on the fender, and as a great indulgence tilt back in his chair? Let the sunshine into the gloomy rooms, have a couch to lie on, a piano to play on, In fact, a home to live in; one wherein a sense of hospitality and good cheer exudes from the very tables and chairs, Instead of a mausoleum of gloomy elegance, wherein everything is fer show and nothing to be used.

I Mn Sold by li. A. 'I ciple cause of the strike. This is untrue. The organization was fully recognized aad 1 its committee and the grand officers re- celved as representatives of the organization The schedule requested ey the telegraph-: ers was agreed upon between Brother Ram- sey and Superintendent Williams in every point but and that was the minimum; sivlary for operators, Mr.

Ramsey insisting that the minimum should be $45 per month fur every or nny person who didany operat-'. lag, while Mr. Williams declined to con-' cede this point. He offered to make a $45 minimum on the main line, but refused to do it on the.branches. On this, dijl'erence, and this alone, as we were informed by by (Jrand Chief Ramsey himself, the strike was ordered.

On the second day of the strike, the writer was asked by some of those Interested to intercede and endeavor to procure a settlement. He did so, nnd, after an extended discussion, expressed the opinion to Messers. Ramsey and Thurston that the strike was lost and advised them to accept the terms then offered. The strike waaa failure from the start, for the reason that comparatively few of the operators went out The oflicers O. of K.

T. claimed that from 1BQ to 200 men struck, but they were very badly Informed, for, from the best information that we have been able to obtain from all sources, principally fronvtiuinmen, them was not to exceed 75 or 80 who really struck, for suite a number who made believe strike, were out only a few minutes in some instances and a few hours in others, and of over 1000 miles of there was not fifty where 'some one was not at work, and on some divisions not a single man went out. The other organizations have bsco. censured for not joining iu the fray, but ifc should be remembered that none of them wure consulted In any way and no aid was asked until, after the strike was lost, except that before any schedule had been formulated and while tho O. of K.

T. committee were talking of preposterous demands which they said must be conceded or a strike would result, members of Valley City Division No 58 were asked to pledge their support to the telegraphers in the event of a strike and without any opportunity of having any voice iu the mutter. This they very prop erly declined to do. Finally, by tmest ol Bro. Ramsey, Grand Chief Conductor Clark and the writer called on Mr.

Williams to try again lo find some way to end tho strike. We found that gentleman veny utmdy todlsuuss the matter and to demonstrate plainly, the situation the road was in and his wish, for a cessation of the trouble. On our return the situation was plainly placed before Bro. Ramsey, and upon his expressing a willingness to declare the strike off, a niem- orandum of our understanding of the position of the company, as. stated by Mr.

Williams, was drawn up, and with this memorandum and an order from Hro. Ram sey ending the strike, we again returned to Mr. Williams' ofllce, asked him to read the memorandum and, if correct, to certify it, and whan he did so, the order ending the strike was given him. There was no agreement between the O. of R.

T. and the company signed by any one. The only agreement in an agreement between Mr. Williams and' the ofllcem of the Order as to the correctness of Uie statements made by the latter, to Bro. Ramsey.

We believe that under, the circumstances, we obtained.favorable terms for the telegraphers, as the company had it in its power- to end tue existence of the O. of R. T. on its lines, unless outside help was. given them.

It is a disagreeable fact, but one that is never tUe less and the telegraphers gained nothing and lost much, hut there is nothing to be gained by misrepresentation, and Uie easiest way to dispose of a disa greeable truth is to face it squarely and manfully. As to.tltreats made that the telegrapheia will take (he places ef the li. C. it. it H.

oonducUirs when they only those who are as well Informed t) as are some of the editorial writers who have oummuntr ed on the strike, can estimate them at their time value. Much, nan also been said of, the alleged action of the company in dismissing a train dispatcher. for the sole purposeof disorgan izing the telegraphers, aad It, is charged that the dismissal was solely, because of his membership in the organization.
