when ono in the prime nnd full useful

It has been n long tlmo since this com

IttlUAIlDINU JMMMttATION.
Tlio bill of Senator Chandler of Now
Hampshire to facilitate the enforcement
of the immigration and contract labor
laws , which passed the sonnto a fo w
days ago , is probably all the legislation
on this subject likely lo bo adopted by
the present congress. It contemplated
no radical departure , buf provides
simply for additional safeguards against
the landing of immigrants excluded
under oxistintr laws.
In addition to the requirements of the
acts now in foroo regarding the landing
of tilion immigrants by water , the
Chandler bill provides that it shall bo
the duty of the master or commanding\
ollicor of the vessel having immigrants
on board to deliver to the proper inspec
tion ollicor lists or manifests , made tit
the time and place of embarkation of
the immigrants , stating the ago , name ,
sex , occupation , nationality and llnal
destination of all immigrants landed ;
also whether ever in prison or supported
by charity , whether a polypamist ,
whether under contract to perform labor
in this country , and the condition of
health , mentally and physically , of such
persons. It is also provided that the
surgeon of the vessel shall swear , prior
to the departure of his vessel , before the
United States consul , that ho has mtdo :
personal examination of the immi
grants , nnd verifications of lists must bo
inndo by some competent surgeon
employed by ttio vessel's owners. It is
further provided that no bond or guar
anty that an alien immigrant bha.ll not
become n public charge shall bo
received , except when special authority
is given by the superintendent of immi
gration , approved by the secretary of
the treasury.
There can bo no reasonable objection
to this measure. It imposes no obliga
tion upon the owners or otllcors of ves
sels transporting immigrants which can
fairly bo regarded as oppressive or odor
ous nnd it requires no statement from the
immigrant that is not p.-opar. The ef
fect of the bill , if it shall become a law.
will bo to cause the ulllcers of vessels
bringing immigrants to the United
Stales to exorcise greater care as to the
character and condition of the aliens
who take passage with thorn , and no ono
will question that it is the right of this
government to require that this bo done.
Every citlv.on will approve all fair and
proper safeguards against Iho introduc
tion to the country of undesirable per
sons nnd this is all thai the bill of Sena
tor Chandler provides for. It proposes
nothing that will prevent the coming to
the country of persons not excluded by
existing acts. Tlio bill ought to bccomo
a law before Iho expiration of the pres
ent session of congress.
In the state of Nebraska during the
decade from 1880 to 18911 the increase In
white population was 13.8 per cent , and
the increase in co'orod population was
27.4 per cent. This rapid srrowth of the
colo'-ed ' population in this state sug
gests the explanation that the negroes
of the south must bo working their way
northward , and upon looking into the
matter this is found to bo the case , for
there is a decrease in the colored popu
lation in some of the southern states ,
while In many states of the north the
proportion of increase in colored popu-
tion is found to bo larger during the
period between 1880 and 1890 than over
before. During- thai uacado the popula
tion'of the United States increased by
ll,5SOl)20. ) Of this inorewu 8,009,810
was at the north and 2,071,104 tit the
south , the percentage of colored in-
crciiso being -7.9 at the north and l'It.0
at the south. In at. least four of the
northern htates the ratio of colored in-
crciisu is greater than that of the whiles.
In California the whites have gained
41.0 per conl while Iho colored gain has
been 1)0 ) per cent , and Pennsylvania , Ne
braska nnd Illinois have albO gained
largely In poreonlago of colored popula
tion. In New Jersey , Pennsylvania ,
Ohio , Indiana , Illinois and Kansiis Iho
colored population increased at the rate
of 18.1 per com while the whiles in
creased at the rate of only -i ( per conl ,
showing n sloadynnd rapid colored gain.
The nogrous outnumber Iho whiles
largely In riouth Carolina nnd Mihslsblp-
pl , while in Louisiana Iho colored and
while people are aboul equal in num
bers. The proportion of colored people
in the couth Is smallest In Missouri and
Woht Virginia , whore they constitute
respectively 5.0 and -l.il per cent of the
whole population , in only two northern
states , Kansas nnd Now Jersey , docs the
proportion rise above U per cent.
The ilguros prove that the colored
people of the south are gradually mov
ing northward , and as the proportion of
thulr increase is larger in the cities
than In the rural districts it la evident
that they nro swelling the urban popu
lation and increasing the ranks of the
poor and dependent cliu. The colored
people of the country districts are al
most always employed us farm bunds
nnd nro more thrlfly nnd indi-poildonl
than those of the cities. The-steady
movement of the negroes northward
may bo supposed to Indicate thrU they
hope thereby to improve tholr condition.
Whether they will bo able to do so or
not depends entirely upon tholr willing
ness to work nnd ttiko advantages of
such opportunities ns they find.

An interesting experiment which may
prove advantageous to fruit growers
generally in this country is now being
tried. On Wednesday last the slonmor
Majestic loaded a largo quaritUy of fruit
from California , consisting of five car
loads of Crawford poaches , Bartlett
nears , plums nnd upricols , valued at
8' " > ,000 , for transportation to Europe.
Most of this fruit is consigned to a
dealer in Liverpool , Tlio time of the
train wliich c.irrlod this perishable
freight from San Francisco to Now
York was eight daysand ns it will prac
tically take ns much longer lo gel il to
Liverpool it will bo soon that the
undertaking is n somewhat risky one.
But it is believed to bo possible to open
n market for American fruit of this kind
in Europe. If Iho experiment should
prove successful 11 may bo that the
problem rcsu'tlng from the overpro
duction of some kinds of fruit in tills
country in recent years muy bo "solved.
American poaches would certainly bo a
rare luxury in Europe , and American
residents in London and Paris and other
European cities would buy all kinds of
fruit from Ibis country at fancy prices.
It is rather doubtful whether it is
practicable to transport fruit from this
country to Europe , but If California
fruit can bo successfully marketed there
it ought to ho comparatively easy for
Iho custom growers of similar delicacies
lo find a market across Iho sea. A stiv-
incr of a few days on n shipment of
peaches would bo very important. If
by reason of scientific methods of pre
serving fruit fresh -in transit wo could
furnish Europe with half as much as
she annually sends to us it would bo a
great gain for our producers.

Those who recognize the fact that the
industrial warfare which is common to
all countries is becoming more serious
from year to yoar. and that Iho strained
relations of capital and labor arc gelling
lo bo moro and more menacing lo Iho
pence and order of sociOly and to the
permanence of existing instilulions , are
earnestly casting about for means lo
remedy Ibis condition ofalTairs. . They
urge that capital and labor , which dur
ing late years have drifted , so far apart ,
should bo again brought together upon
the grounds on which they formerly
stood , those"of mutuality of interests ,
instead of those upon which they now
too commonly stand , distrust" and nn-
lagonisrn. ' The argument of force hav
ing failed lo accomplish anything for
the good of cither side , the wollwishors
of both insut that Iho argument of con
ciliation should bo given a trial. As
arbitration cannot bo madii compulsory
by lejrislalivo enactment- , but must fen
voluntary , it is urgoJ that organized
capital and organized labor could do no
wiser , bettor thing limn that of ngroo-
iug upon a comprehensive scheme for
the adjustment of any dilToronco.s aris
ing between them.
Suggestions of this kind , born of a
philnnlhropio disiro to conserve the
interests of botli capital nnd labor , arc
certainly worthy of the serious consid
eration of all concerned. If a practica
ble way can bo found to conciliate these
two great forces and give reasonable
assurance of keeping them al peace it
would bo Iho greatest of all boons to
mankind , and there is no question lhal
has ti stronger claim to the attention of
statesmen and philanthropists. It
would bo to discredit the Intelligence of
the ago and to lose faith in the influ-
ouco of advancing enlightenment , to
assume that no way can bo found for
bringing capital and labor together ,
and yet when wo consider how old tlio
problem is , and how little real progress
lias been made toward its solution , the
dilllcultlcs of the task which it p'rcscnts
seem well-nigh insurmountable. The
.true friends of humanity and ot society
nhould not , however , despair.
In the meantime , the working classes
themselves should seriously consider
what is Ihoir duly lo .cocioly and by
xvhnt peaceful methods they can best
promote their own interests. Organized
labor as it now exists undoubtedly has
ils uses , but thai il is accomplishing all
lhal it might accomplish for improving
nnd elevating the condition of inuor may
wall bo questioned. It should have
some other purpose , certainly , than thai
of making njrgrossivo or defensive warfare -
faro , and until il does il must bo nn
obstacle in the way of any plan for
bringing capital and labor togolhor and
keeping them logolhor. Onotiuggoslion
that appears to offer a moans'of relief is
that of productive co-operation. It is
true lhal experience in this plan has
not produced such satisfactory results
as wore hoped for from it , but it has not
boon an absolute failure , and il is quite
possible that ils trial has not boon made
under the most favorable conditions.
Another plan from which largo num
bers of working people in England have
derived great benefit , and which ought
to bo practicable in this country , is that
of distributive co-operation.
It is an interesting fact thai there are
over 1,000 distributive co-oporatlvo so
cieties in England , selling 8259,000,000
worth of commodities every year and
filling a recognized place in the system
of English industry. This plan has
done much for its followers in giving
Ilium the spirit and habit of united ac
tion , stimulating thrift , sobriety nnd a
conservative spirit of good order.
These expedients do not , of cpurso , solve
the question of how to establish and
maintain friendly relations between
labor and capital , but they do help to
create a mutual respect and confidence ,
which are necessary in order to bring
about that result. A practical and suc
cessful method of creating a fooling of
mutual Interest between labor and capi
tal is thut of profit-sharing , and If this
system wore tot become general thuro is
reason to believe thut labor disturbances
would be extremely rare. But the mis
fortune is that there are very few em
ployers who have the wisdom to see the
advantages of this plan apart from the
money return. ! if

Some Interesting fads rolnllng to the
causes of crime have recently boon pub
lished by Dr. William Dulllold Robin
son , who lias for ton years past boon
physician to Iho Eastern penitentiary in
Pennsylvania. The study made by Dr.
Robinson covers a period of sixty years ,
beginning with the founding of the
Eastern penitentiary In 1820 , and the
faels which ho adduces am of special in-
torcsl to all students nf the social condi
tions of the tlmo.
Reference has already been mndo In
this paper to Iho olTorts that are being
made to introduce rofonnntory measures
and influences In the Nobr.iska peniten
tiary , and"no doubt there are ninny who
will bj interested to learn what is
thought by Dr. Robinson as to the prac
ticability of reforming criminals. IIo
takes lilUo account of religious or edu
cational influences , but con flues himself
to Iho reforming power of such restraint
as i.s imposed upon convicts by law. IIo
limits the application of the word "re
formed" as moaning "neither christian
ized nor moralized , but that the habit of
cruno-doiug- been stopped , " and In
Ibis sense ho believes lhat. criminals
may bo reformed. Reviewing the whole
life-history of the average criminal , it Is
found that the greatest tendency to crime
is between the ages of 20 and 25 , just
when maturity i.s reached , and all the
natural impulses and powers , including
those of a vicious character , have at-
tuined their full vigor , and before expe
rience has had time to loach her lessons
or prudence has boon able lo make her
warnings hooded. II is likewise found
lhat at this ago the predominant
offences nro these of .sudden and violent
passion , and that dishonesty is particu
larly prominent. With advancing years
the crime habit is changed , and offenses
of cool-headed premeditation become
moat common.while the foiv individuals
who persist in wrong-doing to extreme
old ago arc mainly these of uncommon
vioiousncss and malignity.
In any general community , it is
pointed ont , 1G per conl of Iho individu
als are from 20 lo 25 years of ago , and
UtTs class furnishes 2D.U2 per caul of all
Iho penitentiary grade convicts. In
other words , lossHhan one-sixth of Iho
general populaliojj are responsible for
nearly ono-third 'of all Iho penitentiary
convictions. "Applying this showing
to " Dr. Robinson * '
individuals."says , 'wo
learn that men at Iho ago , of GO are
aboul eight timas ; as trustworthy ns at
2-5 years of acre. * l uulng it in another
way , of qlghl peb'plo.whq arjj , criminals
of Iho ponitontiai y gradtj. til 20 to 25
years of ago , when they shall have become -
come GO to 03 years old "seven will have
reformed and only ono remained n crim-
lii.il. The result is not caused by death ,
the potency of that factor having boon
fully eblim.itcd and adjusted go as to
eliminate its itillucnco from destroying
tlio equilibrium of the convict and non-
oonvict population at each period of
life. "
The conclusions reached by this pro
cess of reasoning are that criminal ten
dencies decrease with years and that
reformation is not only possible but per
fectly practicable. If the restraints and
discipline of the ponitentia-y are ofTecl-
ivo in orndiealing criminal tendencies
il is plain that educational influences ,
such as have been tried , and are to bo
continued upon a broader basis at Lin
coln i ( the friends ot Iho movament are
successful , would produce good results
in the reformation of the criminal
classes.

onoh woman of the party had n story ot the
wrongs she Imrt suflorcd at ttio hands of these

"Mr. Me. , you know , Is nn iiwful crank on

awful tlmo Keeping a girl ono summer when

quite 111 all summer , and had to bo watted

n great big colored woman from the Intolll-

we got along flrst-rato until'tbo fourth eama

couldn't think of musing the game , and wo
finally decided to bribe the woman , and I was
authorized to give her $10 to forego the pleas
ure of celebrating the day. Mo. wont down
town after supper , and I called Hose to my
room and told her 1 would give her ft extra
If she would stay in on the fourth. "
" 'O , Lordy , no ; I wouldn't , stay for noilol-

"I offered bar $3 , S..o'J ' , $ : ) , $1 , and finally

" 'But that won't utyou.Hose , ' I said. That

There was a lire on Cuss street the other
day. The homo of ono of the prominent citi
zens was ablaze , with nrospoct of being
totally destroyed. Water Uad boon nourod
Into the second story of the building until
the iloor was several Inches out of sight ,
l-'iromun woroun to tholr eyes in work and
were nearly blinded by the smoko. . Assist
ant Uhlof Barnes was upstairs watching the
llromen nnd directing their efforts. IIo was
calculating as lo how many seconds longer
the men would bo able to stand the light in
the siiioko when ho hoard a still small voice
at bis albow , asking him to kindly dig up a
pair of slippers from the closet. The volco
belonged to the lady of the house , whose feet
were getting wot. ' ' ( Jot out of hero , "
shouted liarnos , who wus looking for tbo
house to fall any minute. The lady was
very indignant aud talked very freely aud
forcibly of the wrong the city animals wore
doing In employing drunken ilroinou who
didn't know how to treat people decently.
Just then Assistant Chief Baiter came down
from auotlier part of the housu nearly
blinded by smoko. ills weeping eyes caught
the attention of the anry woman , who
shouted : "Thoro , look at tbo bloar-oyod old
souk. He's drunk as ho can bo now. Nlco
kind of a man to send to Keep your house
from burning up , Isn't hot" Sailor had not
heard of Barnes' experience with tbo excited
woman , and unless ho roads this sketch ho
will probably never know wby ho got such a
dressing dowu.
It was In the motor going Council Bluffs-
ward. Ho wore a tall hat and 'twas evi
dently his flrt ; she was pretty und stylish
nnd presently they began to talk of boons.
"Huvo you over road 'Why I atn Sad ? " "
she asicod ,
"No. "
"Why didn't you ! "
( With a languishing glance at her ) "Bo-
cause I know. " [ Laughter. ]
"Have you over road the 'Krautzor Son-
ntn1 ? " ho asked.
"No ; who is U by , Hossi"
"No ; Tolstoi. "
( With nn nir of decided and withering dis
approval ) "No , 1 never road any of bis. "
Then they talked about French novofs nnd
both of them concluded that whllo they
might bo very tntorostlug "onco you gel Into
them , " their pernicious Influence on young
persons wus very deplorable.
After that they talked about some young
man who didn't know what ollvoi ivoro mid
whom they thought to bo Itisulllcionlly edu
cated , on Ibis account.
They were two brlcht looking women.
They stood on u corner waiting for a oar.
Ono of thorn was saying to the other In a
tone of oxiromo weariness : "I have Juat
boon to Mrs. Blank's1 naming n prominent
dressmaker.
"Yes ! " said the other in an Inquiring ,
sympathetic tono.
"Talk about autocrats ; the czar ot all the
Ilusslas ts not a circumstance to a dress
maker with n good trade , nod I never go to

about my anatomy or my personal pon.iUnrl-
