NEW YoitK republicans arc rejoicin ; loudly over the domocratio loss as showi bj the great labor votu but they fail t < understand Its signiOcancu if they emi to note the lesson which it ought to im * press on both parties. That lesson is tin earnest determination of labor to take ( hand in thu making of laws which atl'oc worklngmon us well as other classes o the community. It is the warning whicl brawn gives to brains that economii questions so long uvaded must bo brough forward as issues for settlement. Tin labor vote has entered politics mid i founds dellanco to time serving politl ohms that It must receive some returi for its strength , Labor's ' demand were suminari/.ud in thu petition which poured into congress at lha las jjosaioii. Theru was nothing asked whicl menaced properly rights or the stabiht ; " " of existing institutions. The rcpuil ii the lam ! laws , except the homestead act thu forfeiture of unearned railroad l-.uul- the opening of unused Indian reserve tlons , Uiu ] > rohibition ol alien liinil ownei Ghip , the making of election days hoi days , and tlm disbursement of the trot sury surplus comprised all the formulate i. jotitions of labor which wore presontoi \Vfibhingtou lust summer , Kvory ri fi n toucnod a generally admitted evil or In tliolino of ooouoiulo roforui Pauperism in The reply just made by the local gov crnmeiit board of Ijondon to a letter o the social democratic federation cnllinf attention to the nllpgcd great increase it the number of indigent mid idle pcopli in London , will have the cirectof correct ing the very general belief , supposed ti bo based upon tinqucslionablc facts tha panperNm and idleness In the Knglisl metropolis have had an enormous n.m unprecedented growth in the last fev years. The statement of the board i that the pciccntagc of paupers wns 22 l ( every 1,000 of the population in Octobe of the present year , whcrcns In the satin month of 1S03 It was 4'J to every 1,000 o the population. Stating the populatloi of London in 1801 nt il.OOQ.OOO and a present at.,000C03 , it appears , nrconlinj to the above percentage , that tlio total o those people of whom the local govern iiiont board takes cogujwinco , as reqnir ing public assistance , was at the forme period PJO.OOO and is at this time 110,00(1 ( So that not only is there it very dccldct reduction , a ? compared with ciglituei years ago , in the proportion of indigcn people to population in London , but : considerable decrease in the aggregate o this class. Incredible as this showinj will appear in view of the many st.ue munts that have been ma'lo within tin past year or two of the unexomplod in dustrial depression , it is dotibtlcs not far from correct. Trust worthy statistics show that in 1830 th paupers of London numbered in rotim ligures U,000 ! ) , , the ratio to population be ing ! > 7 in l.OOU. They also show that whil on January 1,1871 , the ratio of pauperism to population in Hngland and \Vnles wa ' 1.77 ! ) in 100 , at thosamodato in 1883 It wa but 'J.'JOl ' in 100. These verified statistic seem clearly to justify tin ! statementof th board , and must bo accepted as illsposinj of the assumption that pauperism in Kng land , or in its metropolis , is rapidly in creasing. A little while ago Lord Derby made i speech in Liverpool m which ho picture ! the bright side of England's industria condition and held out the promise- : prosperous future. Admitting that elate late trade in a ceneral way had not bcci good and that profits were small , h maintained that the general condition o the country was not so bad as it had bcei represented to be. He presented figure for the years 1880 and 1833 showing tha consumption of the necessaries of lif had increased materially , while the sav ing ability of the people , shown in th increased deposits in the saving banks had also greatly improved. The con sumption of beer , wine and spirits dt creased , not , as Lord Derby s : id , be cause the people wore less able V buy , but because of the spread o temperance , while the statistics ofd th consumption of tea in 1880 and 1835 shov an increase iu favor of the latter year o 15 per cent , and of sugar more than 2 per cent , the people at the same t'm ' adding more than 20 per cent to thoi savings. There is surely nothing dis coin-aging in ligures which show that tin Knglish working people a'ro able to botl spend more for the necessaries of life am to save more than they did live years age The inevitable inference is that they wcr more fully employed and earned more i the latter year than tluiy did in th former. It was further shown that th people who pay an income tax were mor prosperous in 1885 than in 1880 , th total gross assessments for the tw years showing nn increase in ftivo of the former year of over nin per cent. Other statistics wer given clearly demonstrating that the nn tion has grown in wealth in the last liv years , although the advance has bee slow , and except a few industries , mor especially agriculture , all interests huv gone forward. The landlords and farm ers have been the heavy losers , owing t bad seasons and low prices , and it 5 noteworthy that while Lord Derby heli out assurances of future prosperity t almost all other industries ho had n promise to make to agriculture. These facts certainly dispose of the ide that England's industrial and commerchi interests , omittinir that of agriculture arc rapidly moving on the down grad toward irretrievable ruin , and that idle ness and pauperism aro- every where in creasing. They are less prosperous , un questionably , than at some former peri ods , but as a whole they are not losinj ground. The showing will bo gratifyin ; to all who understand that the prospot ity of one country may have an inlluenc in promoting that of all other countric with which it has commercial relations The Inspiring Motive. According to the monopoly leader the democrat who hesitates to shoot o blank cartridges in the coming scnuloi ial contest is lost. If this is the case search expedition should bo organized i advance. There are a number of dome crats who owe their election loss to thoi party connection than to their solomi pledges to vote for the senatorial cand : date who was endorsed by their con htituoncy. In n nuniDer of counties roj : resentativcs were specifically instrncto by democratic conventions to cast thci ballots for a particular rcpubllcai candidate in case tlio legislatur should bo republican. There nn Joss than forty democrats in bet hoijscs and as small a chauc of electing u democratic candidate fo senator as there is for thu sulection of republican senator from Mississippi. Under these circumstances the dome crutic members of the legislature who ar not controlled by the corporation banded together to defeat Van Wyel ; , ar not likely to swerve from their duty Threats and cajolery ought to miss thei mark in forcing or inducing honestdemc crats to aid in furthering thu ends of th monopoly wing of the republican party The howls from "striughtdcinocrnttf" fo a strict party vote for a party candidat ami from "stalwart" republicans againt any interference by democrats with Hi business of electing a republican senate are inspired by a common motive. Tha motive isthu defeatof the people's ohoic for senator , Charles H , Van Wyck , am the selection of a republican candidat who will bo the pliant tool of the COD federated monopolies. The Sunday Hoc. To-day's issue of the Sunday BKK wil bo found as usual filled to overdowiii ; with crisp , Clear , fresh and readablu in formation. The foreign budget of now is full and instructive. It is u\clusivel the property of tha roadurs of this papu and is peddled out to no other journal i ; this part of the west. This single foatur of thu 15KE costs uioru every week thai all the syndicate stulT published in all it : contemporaries combined.Ihitdonicstii news is not slighted. The tclegrapl brings each week to the Sunday Br.r. tin freshest and most comprehensive sperm telegrams from ovcry center o Interest. Its special telegrams an Its own exclusive property shared will no other paper and collected by its paii correspondents and heads of bureau throughout the country. U'e print m stale miscellany marked "special. " ' \ \ ' < have no room for it. In its other features the Bur. alway leads the procession. Its society columi will be found to be the fullest , Its con trlbutcd articles timely and of interest and its local pages abreast of the lates now. . Every county in the state am In Western Iowa is covered by its corres pondonls. The HEB pays liberally fo news and it gels it , as its patron know. They ehow their apprc eialion of the fact by givinj it a circulation which its boaslini contemporaries do not dare to ns all Comparison would be much too odious so they Jcrlino to compare. The Sumla Br.r issues no circular to Its exchange urging them to pud' its merits througl the country press , and promising to re ciprocalo by printing its own praises That Is small business. It does not pa ; from nny standpoint. The reading puli lie cannot long be gulled by such i Mii'thod. Enterprise shows for Itself ii careful editing , liberal expenditures fo news and facilities for disseminatlii } now ? , and in a prompt mueVtng of tin wants of patrons. That is the sort of en tt'rprise that counts. It cos's ' money bu the public demands it , and in time mor than repays for the time and money laii out. Titles. With increasing property values ther i.s a noticeable increase in the number o suits brought to assail the validity o titles , Scarcely a month passes in wliicl some property owner who has pnrchaset in good faith is not called upon to pa' ' "blood money" or face a law Knit. Tri vial technicalities moss grown with year are raised to bcc'.oud the title of pieces o valuable real estate and shyster lawyer and agent leeches reap the benefits of mis takes or omissions which originally wcr not considered worth noticing. In the early days , there was tin doubtedly much carelessness in the cxc cution of papers relating to rei : estate transfers and incumbrancc ; Details which then seemed of no me mont because their omission could hav been promptly remedied , were passe over in the haste of speculative cntci prise. Acknowledgments were ofte imperfect , and the names and relation of parties to the instrument carelessly ir sorted. The statute of limitations has ) most cases remedied the errors , so far a confirming possession is concerned , bu they still remain as clouds on the titles and real estate owners by snbseqticn purchase arc frequently willing to pa for their removal. While courts of equity under our N < braska rulings can be depend ? upon to protect legal right against these real estate blackmailer- the. necessity of care in the scrutiny c titles cannot bo too strongly urged upo purchasers. A rigid compliance wit the statutes in the drafting and cxecutio of deeds , and the release of liens am mortgages , is all important. The ide that any ono can draw up a legal instrument mont involving often tlio transfer o thousands of dollars is ccnornl througl out the west whcro a wise codification c the laws has removed much of the verb ! age and rod tape which formerly sui rounded conveyancing. The very case c property transfer is its chief danger t purchasers , who too often depend upo men more ignorant than themselves t draft the papers and pass upon titles , j mistaken economy and a carelessncs born of haste furnish the capital for th real estate blackmailers. Moro care o the part of purchasers is the remedy fo these bloodsuckers who ply their trad with success because they are sharpe than their victims. The ] Amnrlcnn Hnniniiu Association The tenth annual meeting of th American Humane Association will b hold in Cincinnati on Wednesday , Thur ; day and Friday of this week. The asso ciation in a convention of the numorou humane societies that have been organi/.e throughout the country in the last t went ; years , and its object is to promote an encourage harmonious work among thes societies , as well as to accomplish reform requiring their united influence. It ha been said that "if human thought hn no wider compass now than it ha in the minds of the wise old Greeks , an if what are called modern discoveries i .science were known ages ago to the wis men of the East , we have ono console tion in the certain knowledge that in th general manifestation ot human love an sympathy at least no ago ha equalled the present. " The movomen that gave to every considerable cit , throughout the country a humane socict , is ono of the most marked and importun examples in vindication of the claii : above quoted. Prompted by the allot tion and sympathy which every huma ; being not utterly debased must feel fo the faithful brute servants of man , II : movement advanced rapidly attur i found a foothold , until now none of th larger cities is withoutiU humane suciet , receiving municipal recognition and im tection. In thnir separate work thosi societies have done a gr a amount of good , not alone ii protecting thu brnto from man * : barbarity , but in shielding helpless chil drcn from tlio nbu.su of brutal parents o rescuing them wholly from thulr tin happy lot ; while in their collective capac ity as the American Humane as sociation they have remedied man ; crying abuses and introduced many re forms , all in tlio interest of humanity ii the most comprehensive sonso. Th ninth report of the association reccntl ; issued presents a most interesting am iiidtructivo statement of the work don throughout the country during the yea covered by it , and doubtless the report o the coming meeting will supply to tin friemU of the movement n suit more en conraging and satisfactory account of th operations of the association ana it brunches.

The manner n which business Is conducted is far bchitu thu requirements of the postolllci patrons. Occasionally a spurt is nuuli by detaching a railway mall clerk fron his proper work and adding him to tin insufficient force. This temporary expo client only serves to show the contrns when the force is again reduced. The grossly inadequate force in oui postollico is unfair to all parties con corned. It is unfair to the public win pay for proper mail facilities , and an given a postollico management fit for ; second class country town. It is unfaii to the clerks who arc overworked in tin vain attempt to dispatch ami tlistribnti the increasing fiood of mail mattci which pours into the oflloo. Finally it ii unfair to the postmaster , who must beai the responsibility for the wretched ser vice which he is forced to shoulder while perhaps quite unable to improve. Somt of thu blame must rest upon our ropro suntativcs in congresj. If the conditlor of ntlitlrs in Omaha was properly Init before the department and urgently pressed wo migh ) secure relief. The t'itj has doubled in population in five years The statistics of the postmaster genera bear witness to the marvellous increase in the amount of mail matter handled There can be no dispute about the neceJ of more help. Why is it not .secured ? IncrcnsliiK Our .Jmllciury. A few days ago unmiucnt was made ii these columns upon the proposals of tin State Bnr Association for facilitating the dispatch of legal business in Douglai county and throughout thu state. We arc pleased to note that the plan sug gcsted has called out a lively discnssiot of its advantages and disadvantages Many members of the local bar .seem i.i clined to doubt the wisdom ot making Douglas county a single district and ob ject to the creation of a municipal courl on constitutional grounds as well as 01 the ground of expediency. An inter view with a leading member o the Douglas .county bar i published m anouierf column whicl tersely summarizes "the objections to tin proposed , changes , and suggests : doubling of the present number ot juelgo ; with the district boundaries left undis turbeel. i The reasons givdn 'foj- this method o relieving our district court ftom the ao cumulating burdonbf-tjmiinishctl | bust ness arc stiongly put. 4Jy increasing th capacity of the prcsentl court there wil bo no additional cxrlonso to the county the dockets can bo rapidly cleat ed , juris diction willnotbercstrictoel and the pub Ho will bo more clliciently served. It is very necessary that something shoulel bo done at the coming legislatun to relieve our district court of its over worked judires and crowded docket. It i quite as necessary that nothing shouli bo done hastily which may afterward not stand the test of an appeal to th supreme court. The Douglas count , bar should strongly canvass the matte and formulate their views in a bil which will bo ready for introduction a the opening of the legislature. Booth and the AloUuIloiiRh Monument A few days ago a New York pape printed nn item saying that the friends o the late John McCullough hael given u ; the project of obtaining funds by popti lar subscription to erect a monument t < the memory of the dead actor , and it Inn been determined that the memorial shal bo a tribute from McCtillough'.s persona friends. The plan was going on prosper ously until it encountered ilr. Boothwin refused to subscribe , saying that when i monument was erected to the memory o his father it would bo time to tr.lk of ; monument to McUuIlough. Even if it be conceded that Mr. Booth Is justified ii feeling aggrieved nt the failure of hi profession to commemorate in marble o bron/.o the achievements and fame of hi great father , his more judicious friend must regret that in this matter ho pu himself in a position which may bo casil ; construed as having been prompted b * jealousy. That unhappily 19 a cardina fault of the dramatic profession , pcrvad ing every grade of it. Eelwin Booth none ono of the very few actors who havi never been thought to bo a victim of it and it is not easy to believe that it hae anything to do with prompting his aotioi in the case of the McCiillough fund. Yu it is Inevitably suggested , and those wh ( would detract from Mr. Booth happil ; they are not numerous will accep it as the explanation of his action am u so it against him. No one can blame Edwin Booth that he should fool hurt at the profession's no gloctoi his distinguitihoil father , Kverj one must commeml thn esteem in which hi holds the work of that eminent actor Junius Brutus Booth'wis ' ono of the mosi illustrious exponents of dramatlo art the world has known a''gr6at original gc nins , a creator , a master , This gonejra tion of playgoers haVe not seen his peer and these who were privileged to witnos : Ids almost marvelous achievements art apt to holel in light regard the best work of the Htago of this time , But thu son ol this great man , hiifuclf eINtinguishcei above alt his compew * , i ought to have bethought him that the first duty ot the ; living generation is to these who are 01 have been a part of it , and that the claim upon the men of bis father's time to honoi his memory exists now upon those wit ! whom John filcCuliough was contempo rury. In denying that claim doo-j nol Eelwin Booth become a party iu dufaull with these who in their time failed tc honor his father ? But the fame of Juniti- Brutus Booth , oven morothan thatof Mei. Cullough , requires no bron/.o or marble to perpetuate it. it is immortal am fadeless in the annils and traditions ol the English stage.
