ViaoiNiA is so overwhelmingly demo cratic that wo are not surprised to hoar that she'is seriously considering the re- estnbllshmontof that relic of barbarism , the whipping post. THE first page of S-iturdny's Fttke Fac lory , with a picture of General Jackson as a center piece , may bo taken as no tice to the democracy of Nebraska that a now democratic daily in Omaha is en tirely unnecessary. LlKUTKMANT RouiiKi : is interviewed at Pittshurg and predicts an Indian up rising at Pine Itidgo agency when the spring time comes. The interview is either a Pittsburir fake or the lieuten ant is a guileless tenderfoot. PKHifAi'S democrats never before had the present and past journalistic leadership - ship of their party so painfully brought to their attention as at the .Tacksonian banquet , when young Mr. Hitchcock rang the lire alarm and Dr George Li. Miller turned on the hoso. THIS square toed .lacksonian demo crats hereabouts who remember his antics slnco ho has boon turning the crank of their organ are very much afraid that the aerob itlo editor of the F.

OMAHA has lost ono of her most sturdy , industrious and rospuqtod ph > noors in the donth of Joseph lShooly. . A man of undaunted courage , Mr. Shooly took a prominent part in every movement that had for Its object the maintenance of law and order , the pro tection of llfo and property from Hood and llro and the acts of dosporadoas in the early days of Omiha. Public spirited and enterprising , Mr. Shooly contributed 'more than his full 8hn.ro toward the building up of Omaha. Modest and unassuming , ho never aspired to olllco , and frequently declined positions of honor and responsibility which wore tendered to him and which were within his roach. Few men among the early Bottlers In this section hud a larger number of warm and devoted - voted friends , and none was mom deserving - serving of popular ostoom. AMKUICA should hnvo been a party to Iho Brussels international agrnomont for the suppression of the alavo trade , notwithstanding wo have no possessions in Africa , It is the business of modern civilization to interfere for the protec tion of the innocent and holploas against the uruolty and rupaoity of the strong. There are 80,000 slaves sold in Kgypt and Mahommodau countries' annually. There IB np way of putting an end to the cruelties of the slave driver except for the enlightened nations to Interfere , The chief reason for remaining out of the convention is , of course , the tlino- honored application of thu prlnclpln tif noninterference In European allairs. This particular question is moral and not political , and , so far as wo are able to judge , America could III no po.-wlblo way become Involved with any friendly power by joining the Kurnpoan nations jit the otforl to cud the nofariouH tralllo in human beluga. //.IS riJ/.l/M / ( IHVWX MOIIH WH'KKI ) A prominent pronchor who has miuli his reputation through Bonsatlonal nor nioni/.lng has recently assorted from UK pulpit that Omaha IIIIM retrograded morally and rollgibmly In the past ton J'car.This ) conclusion , wo are told , was roachcd from oxpurlonconnd pnr- soiml observation. Without disparag ing the faculty p03c39cd by our Hoina- tlonnl divine to intiko observations that are more than superficial , n is atflimp' tion IH refilled by the fact that his Omaha congregation has quadrupled Ir nu'tnhorship and built a church at a co l of over $100,000 within the period Oinahn Is represented as on the high reid tu perdition. Tlio only basis oiled for thlt belief that Omaha has Increased it wickedness 1 the Sunday theater and Sunday biso : hall game. Coining from u source so well known , however , the statement deserves moro than a genera ] denial. What Is the truth ? In 1S8I Omaha had a population of 3,000. Divot and low dons Iliur- Ishcd and the social evil was rampint. : A rospoctiiblo wonnn could scarcely walk the streets east of Twelfth street unmolested. Gambling dent" " were numorous.and open day and night , Hnloons were never closed day or night , week days or Sunday. Election day was a golden harvest to bar keepers. There were 121 saloons and but twenty' eight churches. With few exceptions Christian congregations were strugglin g against serious linancial embarrass ments. The nowspupars were filled wljh reports of bloouy frays and beastly scandals from the slums. Low dance houses , wlno rooms and resorts for crooks and footpads were very common. Old citizens have not forgotten the Buckingham and the Gold Dust estab lishments. These low variety theaters were in full blast nightly and on Sundav. It is true that several theaters give Sunday entertainments and that in the season biiso ball games are played on that day. This is not an evidence of in creasing wickedness , but of increased popnla on and motronolitanlsm. It docs not show that the churches arc neglected or the young pcoplo becoming demoralized. It is merely evidence that the number of people desirous of patron izing Sunday entertainments has in creased. The proportion of patrons has not been enlarged. The city has simply grown and where there wore but 500 persons in 1881 who regarded Sunday amusements with favor there are now 1,500 or perhaps J,000. The actual figures show the truth of these conclusions. Wo now have moro thiin ono hundred places of worship. In 18 1 there were live small Methodist congregations in Omaha ; in 1801 there were liftoofy and nearly all strong and vigorous. The former year but three Presbyterian pastors were employed in the entire city ; today there are eighteen churches maintained by that denomina tion. Then the most of the Catholic people worshiped in St. Philomona's , though there were three other binall chapels ; now there are nine btrong churches. It is so with nearly all the other lending denominations. The Con- grcgationaliats have g'-own from one church to n dozen and the Baptists from throe to fourteen , showing that the material religious growth has greatly outstripped that of the population and commerce of Omaha. With n population of JJS.OOO in 1S81 the number of liquor dealers in Omaha was 124 , or ono to every 203 inhabitants. In 1891 there were 232 licensed liquor dealers and th.o population was 140.000 , or ono saloon to Coo inhabitants. The number today is considerably loss than during last year. In 1831 the gambling hells were undisturbed so long as they paid regular fines into the city treasury. Today there is not an open gambling don in the city. Gambling may still bo carried on , but the gamblers are obliged to conduct their business behind do'ubly barred doors , and nobody now falls into the temptation to patronize faro or other gambling devices , because ho must bo an export knownto Ills pals in order to secure the opportunity. The statistics of the penitentiary for 1881 are not at hand'but , in 1835 there were ihlrty convicts sent to Lincoln from Douglas county , or one for every 2,000 people in Omaha. In 1890 , with South'Omaha ' added to increase the number and u largo additional popula"- tion , in the county , there were forty-throe sentenced from the county. Assuming for argument's saku that these all learned and committed their crimes in Omaha , the ratio is only 1 in i,257. ! In 1881 the Young Men' ? Christian as- Hoclation was a small aft'atr. Today It is1 ono of the strongest organizations of the kind in the country. Then wo had no hospital except St. Josoph'3 , and no other charitable Institutions of any con sequence saving the City Mission anil some benevolent societies. Now wo have five Protestant hospitals and St. Joseph's has boon enlarged and im proved. The development of library , literary and other associations for Intel- IcctuaUlmprovomont h.'is boon also re- imvrlcnblo. The public schools have In- iToased In number and olllcionoy. In 1881 there were but 12 schools and 57 teachers. In 1891 there were 31 schools iind 27(5 ( toauhors. Several colleges , semInaries - Inarios and parochial schools have boon lidded In the last ton years. The whole moral tone of the city has boon elevated , ivnd , in spite of the reputation which 3omo people soolc to establish to the con trary , Omaha Is today as orderly , as moral , as Intellectual and as careful of her good muno us any city of her popu lation In the west , or In the world If al lowance bo mtldo for nor youth and rapid growth from a village to a metropolis , it can do the cause of religion no iiood to say that praying and preaching In Omaha for ton years has made no head way against the devil. It can do the L-lty and her citizens a great deal of harm. Wo regret exceedingly that any clergyman should glvo uttoranro to sen timents so much at variance with the fact * established by the record and hv CQiniuou observation.

Agriculture was regarded as Inr practicable. The Union Pacltlc railroad , which crosses the 100th meridian u1 Coznd , was then , building norosH thu plains , and , two years later , May 10. 1800 the last splko was drlvon at Promontory U. T. Kvon ns late as 1870 most conservative servativo people regarded the enterprise of pioneer farmer * , who had pushed oul Into HutTalo county , ao unwise. Today Kearney , the capital of Buffak county , Is by all odds the most pro gressive and metropolitan , city In the state outsldo of Omaha. HutTalo county has a population of 22,000 and the city number : ) 10,000 souls. By her own ef forts Kearney hns constructed an arti ficial canal and waterfall which not onl.v supplies the city with water but fur nishes power to operate extensive fac- lories , for electric lights , for street cars and for many loss import-nit purposes. The same canal fills beautiful lakes and beautifies the parks and lawns of thu city. She has made her name famous throughout ttio union by the application of electric power to the industries anil commerce of her pooplo. A year ago when the cry of dostltu tion came up from so largo a section of the state , Kearney was a marvelous llttl'j metropolis in the midst of misery. Her citizens , undaunted by tlu failure which attended the labors of her farmers , confident in the undeveloped resources of the land surrounding the city and in the promise which her enter prise hold out for factories ami ether ojctonslvo industries , wont on building beautiful homes and Inviting capitalists and working people to her midst. The loyalty of these people bus boon vindi cated. A single crop has lifted the farmers from destitution to plenty. During the month of iJocombnr thirty- three farm mortgages were ( llod in Buffalo county , representing an indebt edness of $30,710 and during the sutnO thirty days Ofty-ono mortgages for $18,237 ! ! were taken off the record of incumbrancoSt Slnco Juno 1 , when the crop of 18)1 ! ) was assured , the f irmors of this same county paid off S20 5,177.43 of their mortgage indebtedness. That is , the releases exceed the now mortgages by this lunuUonia sum. This is what Nebraska farmers are accomplishing within fifty miles of the old deadline of the 100th meridian. This is the way we have been crowding the great American desert back toward the Sierra Ncvadas. AXOTltlllt DHLAV. The expectation that the Bjrlng sea controversy would soon bo submitted to arbitration , based upon the assurance that nothing remained to bo done but the apnointment of arbitrators , has been disappointed by the demand of LorJ Salisbury for a further modification of the agreement roachcd hvst November. The nature of these demands has not been made public , and they probably re late to minor'points upon which it will not be dilliciilt for the two governments to agree , but none the loss the action of the British premier is ombiirr.isslngand irritating. The natural inference is that it is in pursuance of the policy of delay which has characterized Lird Salis bury's conduct throughout the nosrolia- tions , in total disregard of the resultant lossto the United States. Ho delayed the agreement for a closed season last year until the Canadian poachers wore enabled to take enough seal to reimburse them the cost of fitting out and prob ably something more , for it has been estimated that 00,000 seal were taken , and while it is not o.isy to believe that the British prime minister would play into Iho hands of a lot of seal ers whoso business is hardly bettor than piracy , his present course suggests that ho is not unwilling to do so. The sealing season opens next May , and tlio time until then would probably all bo taken up in settling the questions in controversy wore arbitration onto'rcd upon at once. Delay will ba an invita tion to the poachers to got ready for another invasion of the waters in dis pute , and they may bo expected to do this if the season arrives without a set tlement , unless our government takes extraordinary precautions at grout cost to keep thorn out. It is not surprising to learn that the patience of the Wash ington government is severely taxed by tills wholly unlooked for ai-tion on the part of Lord Salisbury , and that thorq is a disposition to regard his now demands as being insincere. They will of course bo given fair and temperate considera tion , but it is intimated that means will not bo wanting , when required , to com pel a moro prompt consideration of the questions at Issue on the part of Lord Salisbury. j 7/.1/-UJO KV Moral .hazard in tiro. insurance is an unknown and practically unknowable element in determining risks.

It appears that the number children In the state of school ago , that Is , between 5 and 21 years , in 1891 was l821,77i. ; The num ber attending the common schools in the same year was 1,031,041. Moro than 707,000 children of school ago , there fore , were cither not in school at all or received Instruction elsewhere than at the public schools. The proportion of public school children it 1891 consequently quently was about 57 per cent of the total number of school ago. The gov ernor states that in 1831 , 40 years ago , 75 qpor cent of the entire school pop ulation attended the public schools. During these forty years the stata has done much to Improve and strengthen its common schools , to increase their efficiency and to compel attondnncot yet during all that time there has boon a steady docro.vso juf atlondance in pro portion to tlio school popiilvtlon , and nearly 20 per cent fewer children , pro portionately , attend the public schools now than attended them 40 years ago. Governor Flower well s lys that * ueh facts are startlingly sugirostivo. It true , they moan retrograding influence , and lie urges that the state cannot allor J to permit thousands ofIs children to grow up in ignorance , only to increase that population whicti ct'owds ' the jails , the reform it , vies and tlio poor houses , and menace. Jia integrity of our public .ser vice and our institutions with the weapon pen of an unintelligent ballot. Now York's oxporionijejirlhis respoct.is not exceptional. Other states can show n record of decline in imolicbohool attend ance relatively as great as that in Now York. The serious question suggested is whether the schools of the people are 'really ' retrograding in inlluonco. or is there borne insidious pawor at work to attract children away from tliotn ; ' Un doubtedly in the older communities the private schools will account for a great many children who do not attend the public schools. There are parents who prefer the former , if for no ether reason than that their children may avoid pro miscuous association. But only a small minority of the children not registered in the public schools are to bo accounted for in this way , and it is to bo appro- bended that a much greater number , in most cpmmunilioSt are to bo found re ceiving no schooling whatever the children from whoso ranks are recruited the population which crowds the jails , the reformatories ! and the poor houses. This condition of affairs is undoubtedly less prevalent in the west than in the cast. cast.Tho The public school retains ils influence much bettor in the former than in the Hitler bcction , for one reason bcciuibo it meets with loss compotilion from the private school , which can prosper only in old and weallhv communities , where caste and class distinctions have been firmly established. Another reason is that in the newer communities there is tv livelier patriotism which embraces the public school as ono of the chief safe guards of republican institution ? . -But oven in some of the states of the west the tendency lo retrogression is. beginning to bo marked , and in a number of.Iho larger western cities Iho ratio of public school ntton.liuiL'o to the number of chil dren of school aye is not as largo us it wns ton yonrs ago. Among the causes for the condition noted , of course Iho growing demand from your lo year upon Iho services of children in the lask of securing aubslsleneo for the family is not to bo lost sight of. It would not ( iii 'easy to oxuguoruto thu importance of llils .mailer. The more suggcslion that tlio" public schools any where In Ibis country -are docllniiig in popular favor and Inlluonco is caloulnlod to have a disquieting effect upon these who regard lho.J'conp.non school system lib ono of the bulwarks of the republic , but wjiim It Is UU'qVt that in one com monwealth , wlim-q ; generous piovlslon has been imulu for the public schools , 43 per cunt of the 'uhUiJron of school ago do not attend those sVTiooIs , and It Is known that this comUtllmW affairs moro widely oxlHls , U prc nl. * ! a subjei-t for Iho serious attention of every citizen.
