77/Ein nvrr is
The state board of transportation
must adopt a nclicdulo nf maximum
frolght rates. Authentic ndvlces from
the members of the republican stnto
central commlttoo show that body to bo
strongly in favor of this course. At lie
mooting next week n resolution request
ing the board to perform its plain duty
In this particular will undoubtedly meet
with favor. Tlio board has the authority
to fix reasonable rates. This question
has 'boon ruled upon by the supreme
court. The pcoplo of the state demand
that It exorcise this power. Tlio repub
licans nro very much in earnest in this
request. They wish the republican
board to do its duty to the people , and
show to the discontented farmers that
the republican party is not indilloront to
t'holr just demands. The board will not
ignore the request of the state central
committee.
The board will find no serious
obstacles in the way of establish
ing a schedule of rates satisfactory
to the shlppo sand yet not unfair to
the carriers. A reasonable reduction" is
all that'is demanded. No good citi/.on
wishes to bankrupt the railways or in
jure them. All that is naked at their
hands is fair treatment and an oriuitablo
adjustment of difforoncos. The Iowa
system can bo adapted to Nebraska.
The conditions are different mainly in
degree ; otherwise they nro similar. The
fixed charges of the railways are practi
cally the sumo in both states. Given
the same volume of tralHo the rates
should bo almost identical for the same
service. The Iowa method of classify
ing the roads by their mileage earnings
is fair and can bo applied to lines in this
state. The rate per to" can bo fixed
upon a not dissimilar basis. The volume
of trnlllc in Iowa is greater than in
Nebraska. The local rates should
therefore generally bo by a slight percentage
contage higher in this state than that.
A competent rate man or intelligent
bookkeeper can very readily es
tablish a ratio which shall put
rates in this utnto practically
upon the same basis as in Iowa.
The people do not demand or expect
a horizontal reduction of rates. They
only ask that the railways shall meet
them half way upon the proposition for
a schedule. If the board will adopt fair
rates for the transportation of stock ,
grain , produce , coal , lumber and other
heavy commodities , in which there is
necessarily a largo interchange of tralllc ,
there will bo no further complaint.
Stock , grain and produce going cast a'-o
exchanged for coul and lumber coming
west. A reduction of rates upon those
commodltios will relieve the people very
materially. In fact such a reduction
would remove reasonable cause of com
plaint. The people will bo satisfied ,
the board will have performed its clear
duty and the republican party will deserve -
serve and receive the grntitudo of the
producers. _ _ _ _ _
THK HEAL KSTATK JlfE.V.
Men who have suffered pecuniary em
barrassment because of real estate
speculations are prone to speak slight
ingly of real estate agents as 11 those
aggressive , forceful and useful members
of every enterprising business commu
nity were in some measure responsible
for the disappointments of investors. It
would IKS just ns reasonable for farmers
to hold country merchants at fault be
cause the price of e gs and butter in the
city markets does not prove satisfactory
or stimulating. The ' 'conservative"
business man is usually loudest in his
denunciation of the machinations of the
real estate operators , though ho may sit
in his bank at the same time quietly
squeezing the otlioi- purchasers and
making life a burden to the despised
operators.
The fact is , the real estate agents and
dealers are the life of every prosperous
city. They are the liberal contributors
to public enterprises. When solicit
ing committees for any public purpose
are to bo appointed the bankers and
steady going Jobbers and merchants are
passed by and live representatives of
the real estate business are chosen to
push forward the work of collecting
subscriptions , whether the object bo
charitable , of a semi-business or public
character. The real cstato agents are
not the busy-bodies of the community ,
but they are the rustlers. Omaha and
every other western city owes to thcso
vigorous , energetic gentlemen about
everything they possess in which special
pride is taken outside of public improve
ments. Manufactories , expositions , line
buildings , largo investments by foreign
capitalists , street railway extensions ,
now railroads and other similar
elements in the prosperity of every
promising commercial and population
centre in the west can in nine eases out
of ton bo traced to the genius of the real
estate agent.
In Omaha where this disposition to
blame real estate agents for hard times
prevails to some extent , it is particularly
unjust. Although suffering keenly from
the depression in all lines of business
and often driven at last to desperation
by the avarice of wealthy creditors , the
real estate mon have persistently and
successfully breasted the tide of misfor
tune. They have taken the blunt of It
while the moneylenders have hoard
ed their millions and squeezed
their victims into or almost
Into bankruptcy. Through evil and
through good report the real estate mon
have gone forward advertising the city.
Inviting and interesting capital , encour
aging the dishoartoncd and proving
their faith In Omaha by their good
works on her behalf. No man In Omaha
can justly speak n-lvorsoly of her real
estate men ns a class. They have boon
the very bono and sinew of her strength
through the years of business adversity.
They deserve the thanks of the com
munity for their aptimlsm , their gener
osity , their public spirit and their indi
vidual enterprise. Times would have
boon a great deal moro distressing if
they hud abandoned hope and boon what
interest gnthorora call "conservative. "
TUB NATIONAL CONVENTION.
Omaha and Council Bluffs are in the
center of the union. West and north
west of these cities are the six now
states , Colorado , Nevada and California.
Within twelve hours1 ride nro Minneap
olis and St. Paul , But a low hours moro
is required for the journey from Chicago.
Kansas and Iowa are our nearest neigh
bors. The hope of the republican party
is in tliu middle and far west The
party needs alt the states west of the
Mississippi river that have hitherto
boon republican. Missouri , Arkansas
and Texas are wedded to their Idols and
arc hopeless. The agricultural states
which wcro solid for Harrison have
suddenly veered from their course and
nearly every one of thorn has
given out signals of doubtful loy
alty to their old comrades. The
republican national convention must
como westward because the hope as well
as the danger to republican supremacy
is hero. If the agricultural west and
northwest is not saved the party will
face inevitable defeat.
Iowa guvo Harrison 31,000 plurality.
The Dakotas were not admitted in time
to vote for him but on their first state
tickets they were overwhelmingly re
publican. Kansas wont republican by
73,000 plurality , Nebraska , wns safe by
18,000 votes , and Minnesota rolled up a
plurality for Harrison of .24,000. Since
that election Iowa and Nebraska have
elected democratic governors and Min
nesota , Kansas and both the Dakotas
have shown a decided loaning to the
alliance movement. Montana and
Oregon have democratic governors and
even Colorado wavers a bit in its. allegiance -
logianco to the grand old party. Here
Is the danger to the republicans and
hero too is their hope. The moral effect
of holding the convention in the center
of the alliance stronghold cannot bo
overestimated : It inmt demand the
consideration of loyal thinking republic
ans everywhere.
Those homo cities nro the center of
nil the great east and west trunk lines ,
and the artorlos of travel lead out also
to all other points of the compass.
Omaha has in the Coliseum building A
hall ample for the accommodation of
from 8,000 to 10,000 pcoplo. Adjacent
buildings nro available for committee
and delegation meetings. Oinaha has
practically no competitor for the con
vention except Chicago. Minneapolis
is in dead earnest to secure the prize ,
but her geographical location is not
suited to the particular occasion. If
Chicago does not capture the convention
it is morally certain to como to Omaha.
Chicago will be in the midst of its
world's fair jam. Its hotels , al
ways crowded , will bo ovorllowing
and all its moans of transportation will
bo sufficiently choked with people , not
to speak bf the heat and dust incident
to midsummer in the great city. Chicago
cage is of all places the least suited to
the convention of 1892 , even if there
were no grave political considerations ,
making it necessary to go farther wcsl.
Omaha and Council Bluffs have all
the hotel and other facilities necessary
to the occasion. All talk to the con
trary is silenced by the facts. If wo can
entertain the Methodist Episcopal gen
eral conference for several weeks we are
abundantly nblo to accommodate the
convention throng for a few days. The
convention is ours if wo expend the
proper effort in the right direction at
the opportune time.
SCHOOLS FOIt THE IIL1ND.
Among other interesting statistics fur
nished by the census bureau bulletin are
those pertaining to educational and
charitable institutions.Wo have llttlo
conception of the munificence and extent -
tent of our public charities or of their
growth. The unfortunates dcniod the
light of day and the beauties which roach
and influence the soul through the eye
have In all times boon the objects of
especial pity. No faculty is so essential
to our idea of rational enjoyment as
that of the sight , and none of the
world's unfortunates are so justly entitled
to the consideration of their morofortun-
nto fellows as the blind save those in
whom reason is dethroned.
Since the year 1820 great progress has
boon made in the methods of instructing
the blind. The asylums and institutes
for their education have grown in num
ber and Importance until now there are
82 in America. . The Parkins
Institute of Boston was established ,
in 182 ! ) . The Yow York institution
in 18111. Since these dates etato
after state has opened institutions at
public expense until now no blind child
in America need bo deprived of the com
forts which como through the knowledge
imparted by instructors whoso lives
have boon devoted to the noble task of
opening avenues for thought , notion and
remunerative employment to persons
who have no conception of sunlight ,
color or form.
Today in the 27 public institu
tions which reported to the census
department , 2,031 pupils are instructed
at an annual cost of 3575,073 exclusive of
expenditures for buildings , reaching
$100,000 inoro. The per capita cost
at these 27 schools is $210 per
annum exclusive of buildings. In 10
years the number has increased by 800 ,
not showing that blindness is on the in
crease beyond the natural growth of
population , but that facilities for the
care of the blind are added yearly.
Probably there nro 350 in the live schools
omitted from the census report or 3,300
In all.
The Nebraska asylum was established
in 1876. Tn 1880 , 21 pupils were
in attendance. The number has steadily
increased from year to yoarxmtil in 1880 ,
at the ditto when the census figures were
glvon , there were 50. Of these 24 were
boys and 32 girls. The current
oxpondltures of the institution nro
slightly in excess of 311,500 per
annum. In 187o $10,000 was. in
vested in the original buildings. The
per capita cost , exclusive of buildings , in
1889 was $207 , which is below the average
for the country at largo by $9 per capita.
Some of the Institutions are very
small. The Florida asylum has in at
tendance hut five pupils , and that In
Oregon but 14. The Ohio institution
for the blind is the largest single school
and provides for 283 pupils. That in
Now York city has 240 in attendance.
Of the 27 instituted mentioned in the
bulletin , these in California , Colorado ,
Florida , Maryland ( colored ) , Oregon ,
South Carolina , West Virginia and
Texus ( colored ) , nro training fewer pu
pils than the Nebraska asylum. Ala
bama has practically the mime number
as Nebraska. Arkansas , Georgia , Illi
nois , Indiana , Iowa , Koutucky , Mary
land ( white ) , Massachusetts , Michigan ,
Now York , North Carolina , Ohio , Penn
sylvania , Torijiwsoo , Texas ( white ) , and
Wisconsin Imvo each a larger number
than Nebraska tinder instruction. Now
York has two usllums. In ono she edu
cates 210 and it/tho other 12(1 ( , or 3(10 ( in
all. At all thcso institutes pupils arc
not only taught to road and wrlto by
fooling and the ordinary knowledge of
the public schools so far as is practicable
with the grcjrt faculty of sight .xbsont ,
but all /Mvoii'Industrial / ' training.
Many of them leave their instructors
with useful ocjii\attoii3 \ learned whereby
they are relieved from pauperism.
KXTKNSION IN AMKHIGA.
The subject of university extension In
this country has boon under considera
tion loss than four years , having first
boon introduced to public notice by in
dividuals connected with the Johns
Hopkins university. The first experi
ment with the plan wns made in Buffalo ,
N. Y. , where , according to a writer in
the current number of Tlic Forum , Prof.
Adams , it was entirely successful. Sub
sequently the experiment was Introduced
at Canton , O. , at St. Louis , and nt
Baltimore , mooting with uniform
success. Prof. Adams states that
the idea of university extension
in connection with Chautauqua
wns conceived by Dr. J. II. Vincent dur
ing a visit to England in 1880 , when
ho saw the English lecture system In
practical operation and his own meth
ods of encouraging homo reading in
growing favor with university mon. The
first definite American plan , showing at
once the aims , methods , cost and history
of university extension lectures , was
drawn up at Chautauqua by Prof. Adams
in the early summer of 1888. In No
vember , 1888 , the first public announce
ment was mndo of the plan of extension
formulated by Mr. Seth Stewart , the
main idea of which was the pro
motion of courses of reading at
homo und in social circles ,
along special lines , under the direction
of competent professors. Many classes
were formed according to this plan , andover
ever 1,000 teachers in Brooklyn and
Now York pursued definite courses of
study under good guidance in 1889-90.
The success achieved has been notable.
Prof. Adams says the American field
for university extension is too vast for
the missionary labors of any ono society
or organization. The eastern univer
sities and the state institutions of the
west and south , ; as well as the agricul
tural colleges hroughout the country ,
have fields , nl their own , which
no iissooivtipii ( of middle mon
can work .half so well. These
fields are white to the harvest , but the
laborers are few. The regular profes
sors cannot fctfupon long missionary
journeys , and-Irof. Adams suggests that
a staff of university extension lecturers
should bo train.Q < l at our best universi
ties from tholcpwn graduate students.
This method of placing higher educa
tion within tho. ceaoh of persons who
could not otherwise obtain it , conducted
upon the highest standard of university
practice as far riS'it .can practicably bo
applied , has hadjromarkablo success in
England , but itr is noT altogether cer
tain that wo * canlook , for equally
great achievement in this country.
Prof. Adams observes that the condi
tions of permanent success in this coun
try arc so different-'from these in Eng
land that wo must look forward to the
establishment of a greater number of
illuminating centers. The state univer
sities of Michigan , Wisconsin and Min
nesota nro already in organic relations
with popular educational institutions
throughout wid'o areas and have only to
utilize existing connections for the suc
cessful promotion of university exten
sion in the great northwest , and into
this vast field will soon enter the now
university .of Chicago. Manifestly the
great success already achieved by this
movement glvosit the very highest claim
to the attention of educators and war
rants the expectation that it will become
in every portion of our country a power
ful and invaluable aid in promoting
higher education.
IF IT were practicable to turn the Pa
cific ocean or the Gidf of California into
Death valley a climatic change would bo
effected in the valley of the Colorado
which would make that section the
greatest health resort in the world. An
inland sea or gulf covering 1,400 square
miles in the locality named would tem
per the heat of western Arizona and
make the grout Salt River valley , of
which Phounlx Is the commercial center ,
a very Vale of Rassolns. The soil is
productive , the climate somltropical ,
the atmosphere dry , but the temperature -
turo is almost Intolerable in midsummer.
An arm of the ocean extending to the
westward would bring needed moisture
and reduce the evaporation , besides car
rying to the plains the cool breezes of
the salt soa. Not many years ago a plan
was proposed for tunnelling under Pilot
Knob mountains a few miles above the
head of the gulf with the express pur
pose of filling th.q great depression. It
would coat millions , but it would bo

Kansas City Star : In forestalling the con
flict between church nnd state , which nny
attempt on the part of the church to preserve
race distinctions in this country would surety
Involve , the pope has manifested much sagac
ity nnd shown hlnnelf the true friend of the
Rront religious organization of which ho Is
the head.
Chicago Inter-Ocean : If the I'ropnRatuln
do uot see fit to chuck Herr Cahcnsly and his
American confreres In tbo use of lancungo so
significant nnd treacherous as this , evidently
the Catholic church is entering upon u peril
ous course , and one which , tf persisted In , ts
absolutely certain to metaphorically split It
up tbo back , In America nt least.
Boston Globe : Cardinal Gibbons' rejoinder -
joinder to the Belgian misrepresentation as
to the policy of the American hierarchy toward -
ward Immigrants of the Homnn Cnthollc
faith who speak n foreign tnngungo 1 torso ,
pointed nnd convincing. No untenable the
ory was ever demolished moro effectively
than by tbo cardinal's nrrny of American
facts.
I'hlladelphln I'ross : The otittro project
was and is baseless from llrst to last , nnd
there Is not n Jot of proof thnt th'ls nttomptto
split up the Homan Catholic church In this
country Into organizations based on Immigra
tion wns over even considered at Komo ; but
the plan has done good servlco by demon
strating a strong national fooling In the
church throughout the United States.
St. Louls Uopubllit ; Many thousand Prus
sians have thus become n part and n vnlunblo
part of the American nationality. But Mr.
Cnhensly Is uot one of them , nnd it is to bo
hoped thnt ho will never attempt to become
ono. IIo is tocf dellciont In brains over tosuc-
ccod In nny nttouipt ho might make to be
come a part of the American nntlonality the
only ono that bas any right to n voice In the
politics of America.
Minneapolis Tribune : Herr Cahonsly's
schema of isolation with enforced ignorance
of our language , laivs and customs , will not
bo kindly received on this sldo of the Atlan
tic. It isso manifestly Impracticable nnd
impolitic thnt , m duo time , llcrr Callously
will propably receive an Intimation from the
pope that it were better to lot well enough
alone. English is the language of the United
Stntes , nnd nhvnys will bo.
Denver Republican : The pope could ndopt
no line of policy which would bo moro injur
ious to the Roman church in this country
than the ono which Herr Cahensly recom
mends. The Americans would resent tt.
Among tboso who are not Catholics it would
make the Homau church very unpopular. It
would look like a continuation of much that
protcstants Imvo said to the effect that the
growth of the Horann church is a menace to
American Institutions.
Chicago Post : Next to the principles of
religious independence there is nothing upon
which tlio people of this country nro more
united than in opposition to foreign Interven
tion In the affairs of this nation , nnd this extends -
tends to ecclesiastical ns well as to civil gov
ernments. And there are no more earnest
opponents of Cahanslyism than are to bo
found in the Homan Catholic hoirnrchy in
America , of whom may be named Cardinal
Gibbons , Archbishop Ireland nnd Hlshop
Spalding.
Chicago Hcrnld : It is no part of the bust
ness of a scculnr journal to concern Itself
with the religious interests of any class of
the people. But when Herr Cahensly at
tempts to replant forcignism among portions
of the American people who have voluntarily
cast it off , Herr Cahensly becomes a proper
subject lor consideration ; nnd when Herr
Cahonsly , in pretended zeal for religion ,
makes statements thnt nro in the fnca of fnct
nnd history , Herr Cahonsly must nccopt the
consequences of his assumption.
Minneapolis Journal : The whole schema
is an outrageous assault upon the union , upon
American institutions. That any set of men
in Europe should dnro conceive such a pro
gramme is astonishing , But it is perhaps
well that the conspirators have unfolded
their plan. Already the loading ecclesias
tics of the Latin church in this country have
denounced the Lucerne scbotno as a base
conspiracy. No loss out-spokon is tbo lead
ing clerical association of that church.
St. Paul Pioneer Proas. Herr Cahonsly
needs to bo warned that the American pcoplo
will tolerate no foreign interference In the
affairs of this country , nnd no schtmio which
looks to making nny such foreign interference
possible ; that they do not propose that any
foreign power shall ha\o nny Influence what
ever in this country , and that in pointing- out
this ono incidental feature or effect of his
plans ho has outraged und insulted tbo pa
triotic sentiment of the American pooplo.
Chicago Tribune : It is unfortunate , bow-
over , for this well-laid scheme of the secre
tary of the Aruhnngol Kuplmol society that
the pope himself In u letter to Cardinal Gibbons
bens declares ho never will concede to thu
demands made upon him. Leo XIII. is nn
astuta old statesman as well ns Pontiff , nnd
ho 1ms had the sagacity to perceive thnt if
such a scheme wore attempted it would bo
confronted not nlono by American protestants -
ants of nil sects but by the solid raulcs of the-
Irish nnd American Catholics of the second
nod third generations , and that tliu outcome
would bo complete dtscouilituro of the bold
scheme.

St. Louts Globe-Uomoernt , ( rop. ) : It will

It is too late to say that Quay must bo re

Chicngo Herald ( dom. ) : So long ns Matt
Quay won victories for the republican party
In Pennsylvania ho was not interfered with.
The defeat of his creature Dclamntcr Insl

ment by several hundred prominent Phlla-

the party cannot win with htm in command
than it is to any scruples ngnlnst his well
