WE DON'T blnmo the president for

EVIDENTLY the full force of the polit

A Nisw YOUK newspaper has dis-

that there is no jealousy or ill fooling
between the two cities.

The melancholy days of which the poet
enng , "Tho padddst of the year , "
With \vnillnc winds and wcoplnR skies ,
And inondown brown nncl scro ,
are not fa'r off , and. tholr approach
should remind all that after making
provision for their own wants and com
forts there is a duty to bo done in help
ing these who are losa fortunalo , and
who must suffer unless the hol Ing hand
of charity is extended to thorn. It 's
highly probable that the work of benevolence -
novolonco in Omaha during the coming
winter will have to bo on a larger scale
than for several yoars. A gro.xt many
laboring poonlo liavo found but scant
employment during the summer , no
moro than sulllclont to moot tholr dally
wants , and not a few of these will have
to bo assisted or wholly provided for
during the period when there is no do-
miind for their labor. Those who are
best advised regarding the situation an
ticipate a greatly enlarged demand for
charity , and it is not too soon to begin
preparing to moot it.
The "Associated Charities of the City
of Omaha " for the -
, was organized purpose
pose of instituting an olllolont and thor
ough system of charitable work. Its de
sign is to carry on-this work so that the
worthy poor shall have tholr wants
properly provided for and shall bo
afforded opportunities to help them
selves. It proposes that charity shall
bo dispensed in a practical way , accord
ing to the merits of every case calling
for it. Promiscuous alms-giving l an
evil because it encourages bogging and
docs not discriminate between the deserving -
serving and the undeserving. A great
deal is.glvon in this way , in the name of
charity , I hat is worse than thrown away.
The Associated Charities propose to do
away , as far as possible , with this pro
miscuous giving by nrovidlng a channel
through which the charitably disposed
may have their ben of actions dieponsed
with the assurance that they will got
into no unworthy hands , or at any rate
that the chances of their doing so will
bo reduced to the minimum.
The AssociatedCharitics is incorpor
ated , and its incorporators and ofllcora
are among our most reputable nnd re-
sponslblo citizens. It does not propose
a now experiment , but will operate upon
apian that has boon successfully tried in
other cities for years. It is superfluous
to say that the association is entitled to
the fullest confidence of the people of
Omaha and. . the work it proposes to do
ought to insure it a most generous sup
port. "Whoso givoth to the poor lend-
oth to the Lord. "

The northwest is the homo of the
Scandinavians in this country. According
cording- a paper In the September
I < br m , by Prof. Kondric C. Babcoclc ,
there are in this section of the country
750,000 inhabitants of Scandaiiavian
birth. Adding to these the second gen
eration , enumerated as native born , and
the number is nearly 1.000,000.
The story of tho'coming of this great
host of peaceful conquerors of
prairie ' and forest , says Prof.
Babcock , by the side of which
the early Teutonic migrations were but
small marauding picnic ? , is an uneventful -
, ful , but not an unimportant chapter in
our hibtory. It Wiis in 182-5 , according
to this authority , that the first company
of Scandinavian immigrants reached.
Now York from Norway nnd made a
settlement ncir : Rochester , N. Y. In
the next ton years only a few hundreds
came , and it was not until 1830 that the
first permanent western settlement was
made in Illinois. Settlements followed
in subsequent years in Wisconsin
and Iowa. Swedes and Danes ,
as well as Norwegians , began to como ,
and by 18411 the atroara was ilowing with
some regularity. The Scandinavian
population In 1850 was 18,000 , and ton
years later it had increased to 72,000.
The immigration of these people during
the civil war was light ; but later the
movement was renewed , with greater
vigor than before and reached itti cli
max in 1882 , when the population was
increased from this source to the extent
of 10520. ! } In the live yoara ending
with 18S5 , 352,83-1 Scandinavians arrived
in the United States , and in the next
live years the number was 301,160.
Prof. Babconk says that while famine ,
burdensome taxation and overpopulation
have been not inconsiderable factors in
promoting Scandinavian immigration ,
the natural love of adventure , the pros
pect of ownership of land , which Is
practically impossible to the great
majority in the old homo , and
the desire for greater per
sonal independence have boon the
motives of Scandinavian im
migration. "Tho broad , rich prairies
of the northwest have had from the first
an Eden-like attractiveness to these
north folk , coming as they have from a
land whore mountains , marshes , thin
soil and short summers made life a con
tinual struggle for "existence. It was
the vision of level fields of marvellous
fertility that could bo hud almost for
the asking that encored tholr tedi
ous way across the Atlantic , up the Erie
canal and around the great lakes in the
early days. Minnesota , Iowa , Dakota ,
are still the watoh words as they como
and are household words in almost every
cranny from Hammorfost to Gjedsor. "
With regard to the characteristics of
these people , who constitute a mo t valu
able element of the population , the pas-
Hlon for the possession of land and for
the Independence that goes with it is
prominent. Ono of the most important
Indirect results of the love for landownership -
ownership Is the hastening of natural
ization. The Scandinavian immigrant
loses no lime in taking out his
"llrst papers , " and ho does not
delay perfecting his title to full citizen-
ship. His aptitude for politics and hltt
interest in public alTatrs are natural ,
and no clnss of foreign born citizens
enter upon the rights and duties of
American citizenship with moro en
thusiasm or honest , Intelligent appre
ciation of Its high privileges , All who
are familiar with the character of these
poonlo will agree with Prof. Bibcock :
that society has little to fear from
Scandinavian immigrants ; certainly ,
as ho suys , not from illiteracy ,
fur Norway , Sweden and Denmark
uro among the live states of Kuropo
"nearly free from illiteracy. " A Scan
dinavian immigrant who has not n fair
education is rare , and many of the im
migrants are highly educated. They
are essentially a religious people , nnd
as a class are sober , industrious , frugal
and law respecting. No people who
come to the United States make bettor
citizens or in proportion to numbers
contribute moro largely to the general
welfare.
TltK COAT , OUM-HNK DKMAST.
The recent decision against the coal
combine by a Now Jersey court , the
substance of which has boon published
in this paper , is received with a defiant
smile by President MoLoodof the Reading -
ing railroad , which Is the lossco of the
Now Jersey Central and the Lohigh
Valloy. IIo says that the decision will
have no effect whatever upon the busi
ness of the combine , as the Now Jersey
Central , the road especially considered
by the court , will now bo managed by
its own officers and will continue to bo
operated in the interest of the combine
as if no decision against the lease had
been rendered. "Tho continuance of
the joint operation of these properties is
assured , " says President MoLcod , and
ho adds that whether the leases are ulti
mately sustained or not it "will make
but an inappreciable dilToronqo in our
plans. " The manifesto of the Reading's
president is one of defiance to the courts
and the people. Hero is an extract :
It will not affect , the coal trade , oittior.
No part of It Is In the hands of either the
Central , the JJhlludolphla & Heading Uait-
rend company or the Port Heading. That Is
i wholly different subject. The Philadelphia
nnd Road I UK Coal nua Iron company controls
the output of tno coal companion and most of
thu laHvldiyil operators on all three Hues by
contrncta In Pennsylvania , which it Is authorized -
thorizod by law and its charter to maUo , nnd
will continue In the future Its business of
putting its coal on the market at as fair
prices as it is able in socuro.
I am an uro of no obllgntioa under Its
charter , which was craated by the stnto of
Pennsylvania , which obllcutos the company
to soil coal at a loss anywhere , nor to soil
cool in Now Jersey at any price , and it is
even possible for the Philadelphia and Head
ing Coal and Iron company to ship all its
coal to tldo through the state of Pennsyl
vania without giving to the state of Now
Jersey the bonolltof any of this business.
When the leases were raado President
McLcod , assorted that the prices of coal
wou'd ' not bo advanced , and upon this
ground the newspapers in the coal
coal region , including all of the loading
journals in Philadelphia , claimed that
the combination would result advan
tageously to the public. But it now
appears that the anthracite kings arose
so greedy for gain that they not only
disregard the complaints of the people
but nho defy the courts. The combine
declares that it ' '
deliberately 'will con
tinue in the future its business of put
ting its coal on the markets at as fail-
prices as it is able to secure. " This
simply moans that it will demand the
last cent that thp people will pay for a
commodity which is almost an absolute
necessary of life.
The coal combine will probably find
that its policy of evasion will not work ,
The Pennsylvania courts will undoubt
edly render a decision similar to that
rendered in Now Jersey. The intent of
the law is to prevent such conspiracies ,
and the idea that the leased roads can
bo operated by tholr own ofllcers and
still remain in the deal will soon be
exploded. The constitutional provision
upon which the several actions against
the combine are based is intended for
the protection of the public. It will bo
found impossible to evade botp. the
letter and the spirit of the law , and the
time is not far distant when the attitude
of defiance now assumed by the coal
barons will bo abandoned. It is to bo
regretted , however , that they will bo
able to continue their robbery of the
people until they are crushed by the
higher courts.

The misrepresentations of the calam
ity howlers regarding the financial nnd
business conditions in Nebraska are
undoubtedly having an influence abroad
detrimental to the state , as indicated by
an article recently printed in the
Milliwj , World , an organ of the milling
interests of the country , to which wo
referred a few days ago. That publica
tion found in the crop figures and
mortgage paying statistics of Nebraska
satisfactory evidence of prosperity , but
turning from these to the statements of
the people who have mndo it their busi
ness for several years to disparage the
material conditions here , It was
naturally perplexed as to what to bo-
liovo. A batter acquaintance with the
persons who are responsible for the
calamity stories and with the motives
which actuate them would relieve the
mind of the editor of the JUH/i'iu/ / World
of all doubt as to the trustworthiness of
the crop figures and. the mortgage pay
ing statistics.
By way of showing- the financial con
ditions in Nebraska , as indicated in the
bank deposits , THIS BIJK prints else
where in this issue a tabulated state
ment of the deposits in the state banks
ol Nebraska , giving the amount In each
county as shown by the July report of
the state hanking department nnd the
total amount for the state deposited in
the national banks , as shown by the last
report of the comptroller of the cur
rency. It will bo soon that the aggre
gate amount of deposits loss than three
months ago In the banks of Nebraska
was over $32,000,000 , the per capita for
every man , woman and child in the
state , according to the last census , beIng -
Ing $40.35. Certainly this shows that
the people of this state are not impov
erished , but on the contrary are in a
very fair state of prosperity , comparing
very favorably , wo venture to assume ,
with these of other agricultural states.
They are interesting and. Instructive
figures , < which wo present , and they will
repay careful examination.
TIIK ORIGIN Oh'
The Chicago Herald has a remarkable
editorial artiulo entitled "MoKlnloylbin
and Cholera. " Many of the ills of man
kind have boon attributed to the repub
lican protective policy by democratic
nowspnporj , but wo believe that the
Jleruhl la the ilrut to claim that the
cholera scourge in Europe was caused
by the MeKluloy law. Bore is a para
graph from the Ilcruld'a article re
ferring to the olTect which our pro
tective policy has produced :
With utl their filth and poitlletico and per-
erty they are the product of that policy
which bolt * the cJaV4t-h with ropub'ican ' In
famy. They havo1 tjght to dotnand from
the dupes of McKialrvy.rofueo in this tholr
gront extremity. "Tho McICtiiloy bill will
do Its own inlkiniK1li ; did , nnd they heard
It around the clobo. j Uld , nnd tbolr empty
hands were llftea Jio pcoulngiy toward the
land that had smitten thorn , It did , nnd
they answered by mvL'oplncr a trail of sorrow
row nnd dontn froraf Hussia to Lionaon. It
did , and the blackened tongues of 400
corpses , corded in .tha deserted streets of
Hamburir , nrotrudoja hellish mockery of Me-
ICtnloy propross. It did , miO thosoa replied
with n grave for the .scores who made a bravo
race , hut could notcotcapo the death that is
leagued with MoKlrtlay.
Although this is presented as a serious
argument in bohalf'of free trade wo can
not assume that our readers will require
a refutation of the charge. It would bean
an Insult to the Intelligence of any
American citizen to suppose that ho
would believe the republican party re
sponsible for the cholera scourge in
Europe.
In the whole history of American po
litics there never has been made against
any party a charge so Utterly ground
less and foolish as this. If the HcmhVs
article were n little loss coherently written -
ton it would bo reasonable to suppose
that the author was a lunatic } . The sub-
Blanco of the argument is. that the Mo-
Klnloy law has given the American
workingmen an advantage over these of
Europe , and that the working classes
across the sea have thus boon reduced to
poverty ; and as poverty is sometimes as
sociated with filth , and filth encourages
the spread of cholera , therefore the
scourge is duo to the American protec
tive tariff.
Wo cannot assume that any intelli
gent American reader will take a se
rious view of this remarkable argument
against the McKInley law. It Is pre
sented only for the purpose of showing
how desperately the free traders are
butting their heads against 'the solid
wall of facts.
EXCLUSIVE of the single county of
Hudson , the state of Now Jersey has
given republican pluralities in the last
three presidential elections. It is
claimed by the democrats as a sure state
for Cleveland , but It is significant that
they are preparing to inako a grnat ef
fort there this year. There are various
reasons why Now Jersey is as likely to
give her electoral vote to Harrison as to
Cleveland , next November , some of
which are sot forth by the Now York
Sun , "Tho Now Jersey delegation in
the Chicago convention. " says that
paper , "voted solidly against the lunacy
section of the democratic platform the
free trade platik. „ Representing a
strong manufacturing state , they were
opposed to its adopt'lo . " The prohibi
tion vote , which luvs jlong been a con
siderable factor in the politics of that
state , has now in grfqat measure boon
regained by the .republicans. The leg
islature that parsed'"the bill making
valid the Reading lease was strongly
democratic in both branches , and as this
has placed the dehiOcracy "on record as
favoring the coat combine , against
which there is groatJwopulnr indigna
tion , it will inevitably prove damaging
to that party I a. , the coming election.
These facts afford" good , ground for the
belief that' the sysicSjiiatio and thorough
work which the republicans are doing
in that state will place it on the right
side this year.
THE plan of placing the national
guard under the direct supervision of
the secretary of war and establishing a
bureau of the national guard in the
War department is now discussed by
militia ofllcors all over the country. At
present the appointment of officers and
the authority to train the militia are
reserved to the several states. It is
thought that bettor results would bo
accomplished if the authority to control
the state militia forbes were vested in
the War department. The national
military system is regarded as dead
uqdor the present system by these who
have made a study of it , and the measure
which they propose may prove to bo the
only one by which it can bo made
effective.
THE JS.IIC Ol'J\f.i' DEFIED.
Chicago News : But the Reading combine
snaps its lingers In the face of the Now Jersey
soy court , defies publio opinion nnd marks
coal up another notch forSoptomUor.
St. Louis Post-Dispatch : President Mo-
Leod is not troubled by this matiduto of the
law. "Tho decision will have as much effect
ns if the Injunction wus directed against the
tiioux Indiana , " ho says. Here is open tlo-
ilanco of the law. Call out the troops. The
question at issue now is law or lawlessness.
TUG Heading insurrection must bo put down.
Chicago Inter Ocean : Does the president
of tbo coal combine wish tuo American DOO-
plo to understand that ho and these with
whom bo Is associated are as defiant of the
law as tbo Sioux Indians recently proved
themselves to bo i If so , lotus assure him
that the law will bo enforced against him
and his associates as rolontlcssly as it was
against the Sioux. It sounds strangely when
n mllllonalru preaches anarahy. And doil-
anco of law Is anarchy.
Now York Herald : Now , it needs no ar
gument to show that the open disregard uf
any law is a very bud thing for nny com
munity , but tbare are faaturoi about the
Heading's calmly purposed offence that are
particularly obnoxious. The president talks
as if what ho intended to do WUP in some way
In tbo publlu interest. As a matter of fact
the plun is simply .to levy tribute upon the
entire coal consuming1 country in order to
maUo profits for a wrecked , mlsmanacod and
practically banurupt roaii.

call out the troops to compel trusts to obey

Chicago Tribune i President McLcod of
the hard coal combine is quoted as saying
that the decision by Chancellor MeUUl will
have as much effect as if ( ho Injunction were
directed against the Sioux Indlaui. If not
disturbed by a higher court It would Involve

trolling Interest In the Central railroad of

turb these gcntlomoii in their "rights , " but
' the publio has rights also which Iho conl

rights of the public but of the law which Is

Judge Crounso is clearing his desk ns fast
ns ho can with n vlow to leaving Washington
early next week. Ho is duo in Nebraska the
latter pirt of the week nnd ho wants to spend
two or three days with his sister In Now
York before going west. A New York paper
published the statement that Judge Crounso
would return to Washington nfor | the cam
paign. Ho denies this emphatically.
"My resignation hns no string attached. "

insist on its acceptance nnd the president , I
have no doubt , will accept It ns soon as I
hnvo closed up my work here next week "

For a long time there has boon a feud be
tween Dr. Wymmi , the supervising surgeon
general of the marine hospital service ,
nnd Surgeon John S. Hamilton of the
service. It nroio from a contest
over the position of supervising surgeon gen-
oral. Dr. Hamilton resigned that position to
go to Chicago , but after nn bxpcrlouco lu
nrlvnto llfo ho mudo up his mind that ho
wanted to return to the marine hospital
service , and ho brought to bear nil the inllu-
once that ho hnd to procure u reappointuiout
ns supervising surgeon general.
Ho was brought in conflict with Dr. Wy-
man nnd Dr. W.vraun got the oflico. D'r.
Hamilton returned to the service , and ho is
supposed to bo waiting for n ohanco to suc
ceed Dr. Wyman. When it was announced ,
therefore , that Dr. Hamilton hud boon
summoned to Washington it was
thought that bis coming might bo
ngalnst the wishes of Dr. Wymou.
The fact that Dr. Hamilton was Socroury
Charles Hosier's physician und wont abroad
with him a year ago , added to tbo fact that
it was announced from Chicago that Dr.
Hamilton hud been summoned by a telegram
from the secretary , gave color to this story.
Wuntcil the Itciucilt of III * Kxparluncu.
Secretary Foster said thh morning to Tin :
Bran correspondent , before the arrival of Dr.
Hamilton : "Aftera consultation between
Surceon Wyman und mo yesterday it was
determined that it woula bo woll" for us to
avail ourselves of the knowledge and experi
ence of Dr. Hamilton , who has boon through
two epidemics. Ho is in the service , you
know , and wo thought it would bo weft to
avail ourselves of'his experience. Bo wo
sent for him. Just what his duties will bo
wo hsivo not determined. "
Dr. Hamilton appeared to hnvo determined
taat for himself later , for after a conversa
tion with tno secretary immediately follow
ing his nrrlvul ho told TUB BIK correspondent
pendent that ho would return to Chicago in
two or tbroo days. His return may bo due
to n disinclination to work under Dr. Wy-
inan. In answer to a question i.bout a report
that Russians were coming here via Canada
Secretary Foster said : "Wo are fully alive
to the situation and wo have reason to believe -
lievo that the Canaaian government
intends to take precautions similar to
ours to prevent the introduction of cholera.
Wo have communicated with the Canadian
government and that , I understand , is the
assurance that wo nave received. Wo may
find it necessary to scud some of our trusted
agents to Canada , thongh. . to see Just what
is being done.
The attitude of Dr. Jenkins towards the
federal authorities is regarded by the author
ities at Washington as a political move. No

auco of lus scheme for Investing Tnmmany
with the credit of keeping cholera out of the
