Inwmcn , those who are engaged hero seoklnt
to Improve the condition of tlioso of tlu

methods and modes ot preaching to thai
most unfouunate class ; those who are en
during the saddest of all earthly diseases i
olsca.se of the mind , and In the dispensation
of charity to those who are in need of a sue
coring hand : those who are thus engaged arc
imitating In an humble manner the uxamplt
of the Divinity itself , who , assuming the
form of man , went about doing good , seek
In ; out the humble and the lowly and thu
poor and the slnlul of this world affd raising
them up to a higher plane of lifo and making
better men and better women , nnd glvltu
them the assurance of thu hope of happl
ness. Those who are thus en
caged are Illustrating in a practlca
llfo the leadlines and the precept :
and the spirit of film who proclaimed thi
Bubllraest code of morals and ot the laws o !

My friends , I am clad you are hero for an
other reason , that you may bo witnesses t <
the great achievements which have boot
brought to nass within a lifetime of one gen
erntlon , and a llttlo more ; for , here In Nebraska
braska thirty-three yoais ago there was not i
sign of n habitation within all ita borders ; u !
that mot the eye were vast treeless plains am
the sod unturned. To-day all this then un
peopled wilderness of prairie has been carvut
into beautiful farms , occupied and cultivate !
by thriving nnd contented people , with farm ;
dotted all over with beautiful groves , planttx
by man's band. Ualtroads now Inturspersi
nil through thin stato. They are built si
rapidly that wo can hardly keei
track of them. Kvery eight or tei
sandvlllages

Uon ot over 1XX > ,000 people. Here has broi
witnessed n grand development of progres
and civilization : we have Christianity am
education and charitable Institutions , show
ing tbo influence ot odtic.itlon and Christian
Ity. This development has been made , thi
progress has been accomplished Inspired bj
Christian faith and enlightenment. Wo arc
therefore , pleased that you will hay
the opportunity of beholding what ha
been accomplished. You may oxcuie a llttli
pardonable pride on our part for callins

retain pleasant memories and recol

consciousness of duties well performed ; o
BOdd deedt done In the name ol humanity
and In the interests of the human race. Th
memory nf good deeds is ever btastiod. 1
benollts not only those who are performln
gond deeds but those who receive the bo noli
of them. It stops not with the pro sent , bu
roaches beyond and beckons us onward. A :
the twilight f des away into the shadows o
the evening , ns the darkness of the nlali
molts away into the light of the comlm
morn , so the memory ot good deeds molt
away Into the lleht of Heaven. Again in
friends of the conference , I bid you a mos
hearty welcome.
The governor's remarks wore rccolvoi
with hearty applause.
Prof. Gillospio then Introduced Mayo

SAUNDEKS.
He said that as the chief oxocu
tlvu of the state had cxtendcdud to then
the hospitalities of the state , and as tin
mayor of Omaha had extended to then
the hospitality of the city , ho did not sei
that anything was loft for him to say
except to say , as some o
the local energetic dealers did n
advertising their wares , "If you'doti't soi
what you want , ask f r it. " To the gen
tlemen and Indies , for ho understood thuri
wore ladies taking great interest in tin
matter , ho extended n most cordial wol
come. They had boon invited to Omaha
not because Omahans needed moro thm
any other people , cither charity or cor
reetivo influences , but because it was fel
that in the surrounding country then
'
were yet miles of territory'whicl
in the future would bo populated anc
thus render necessary the principle ;
which the conference advocates. He win
glad to sue them and toll them of wha
they had about them. When they had
left their homes they supposed they wen
going far wnat , but it was a fact tha
people out here didn't ' consider the wes
was reached until they had passed tlu
Missouri river. They were not farthoi
at this point from the 1'aoilio than thej
were from the Atlantic , noi
farther from the gulf that
from the great lakes of the north
They were therefore in about the ccntoi
of the country , and it was a good placi
for them to begin their work of reforma
lion and correction. It was here the ;
raised lioir beef , their pork , their whea
and their corn. The broad made of thu
corn was the best in the world , and i
there were any friends or his auditors it
Kentucky , they might find other uses foi
it tlinro. Ho closed with a hearty com
mctidation of the objects of the confer
cnoo , the good it had already dono. am
the exceeding benefit which it might b <
expected to work in the future in thi
country.
JOHN M. THtmSTOtf.
John M. Thurston was the nox
speaker. Ho said :
The clvlll/ittlon of the nineteenth centur ;
Is rapidly developing a compasslouato publii
conscience.
Almost nineteen hundred years ago tin
lowly Nnznreno walked the shores of Galileo
crying , 'Ttuco on earth , good will toward :
man. "
Slowly since that time , but surely , the Dl
vine leaven of thosn sweet words has beer
permeating , developing and mellowing thi
human heart.
The humanitarian Idea Is an outgrowth o
the Christian religion.
A public charity was unknown to pazai
civilization.
At the dawn of the Christian era the Got
ot the world was power. Both nations anc
men were ruled by the brute law of "the sur
vlv.il of tlin fittest. "
Governments were organized and main
talned by the strong for tno strong. Tin
weak wont to tbo w.ill.
Misfortune , suffering and distress appenlec
in vain to the blunted sensibilities of unre-
gunerate man.
The world seemed totally unable to recog
nl/e or welcome the sublime simplicity o
Uin misilon and teachings of tU Messiah.
Even that wonduiful people who received
lirm-hauded , Jehovah'.s declaied law , wuon
Moses led from bondage through the miracle
parted sea , and whom Joshua by sword am
spear established m the fertile places boyom
the Jordan , could not comprehend the Inli
nlto splendor and possibilities of a splrltun
kincdom would not consent to bo dellverci
from error and hardness of heart through thi
mediation of mercy and love.
I'agan Homo , the center ot civilization , thi
seat of power ; the homo of learning , holding
In domination almost the whole knowt
world , laughed In derision at the spectacle o
a crucified Christ , and mocked the alvinltyo
his mission with a crown of thorns.
Jerusalem is still held by the Infidel host
Rome sleeps In the dust of ruin and decay
Hut the solrlt ot mercy , charity , love , bo
qucathed tn humanity by a persecuted Savioi
Is evangelizing the world.
I know that crusader and conquerors
marched under the holy emblem of the cros
nnd that conquest and extermlnatloi
have been Justlllod In Its sacred name. Uul
Christ taught peace , love and hope , and
above nil , mercy and charity.
Some may say thntthlsorganlzatlon nssem
bled hero to night , Is the outgrowth of civil !
zatlon , but I maintain that it Is th
product of developed Christianity
Such a splendid representative bed ]
most magnificently demonstrate
the advancement , Intelligence , morality and
Christianity of the American people.
It shows that in the rapid development o
a new country In the continued amalgama
Uon of all nationalities Into one , and tn tin
unceasing strife for wealth and fame , tin
welfare , comfort and bapolnoss of the uufor
tunato are not overlooked or forgotten. Wha
more glorious union can than
bo on earth than that of ministering to dla
tress ? What heroism more subllmo than thi
sacrifices so many of you make for the bench
ot your unfortunate fellow men ?
We welcome you to this proat growlni
state and city ns our honored guests. W
are proud ot your presence lu our midst , am
we know that your deliberations will resul
In the accomplishment of great and far-reach
Idg eood.
\Ve trust that your formulated plans ma
bo accepted bv the statesmanship ot the nea
luturo , and wo hope that the time Is sooi
coming when only that government can bi
maintained which protects the weak , thi
poor and the unfortunate from the domlna
iton ot the strong , the rich nnd the favored
which foiturs and enforces universal Induw
try , sobriety and morality and which oncoiu
ages and dispenses an enlightened chrUtlnt
charity.
God speed tn the day when solf-lntercs
shall cease to be the mainspring of humai
action : when wrong can no longer Justify a
the bar of public opinion under the warran
of power ; when might shall bo merciful ani
justice kind ; when tile sword of thu soldlu
ahall leap from its scabbared to prc
tect the helpless and deliver the on
pressed , and when society shall open it
compassionate heart and extend Its sustain
Ing hand to the repentant sinner and th
hopeless outcast.
Once again , on behalf of the citlzanH o

and has trebled Its numbori since the las

with 01,200 and n fraction. This man-clou
growth Is equalled by commercial ludustr

During the past year her Jobbers have ills

The speaker clood with extending

trade and the press.
MU. M'INKS.
! . H. Wines , one of the earliest mom
bora of the conference , spoke next in be
half of the association.
Ho spoke of the modest manner In whlcl
some of the other orators had relerrcd t
Omaha's prosperity nnd referred to the tnc
that eastern people could listen to plali
statements of cold and
matter-of-fact no
Judgn tlioso statements to be tholmaclnlngo
western people. Although nn eastern mai
by birth , he jot hold that there wore ceitan
elements which were peculiarly western , am
one of these Is that we In the west do thing
better than they nro done In the nasl
Ihe nuson wa obvious. We begin when
they loft off. As n consequence , wo lay i
broader and bettor foundation for all ou
undertuklugs nnd therefore , surpass ou
briithorn In the east.
Speaking upon the object of the conference
once , ho said that one of the precedlni
speakers had expressed the hope that then
might , as a consequence of this conference
established In Nebraska a state board o
charities. That would be a good thing. Uu
there was something Tiottor and tbo poopli
ought to orgnnizo it. It was tboii
city charity. In our thriving , rapidly
growing and over-advancing towns , wo o
to-day ar often strangers In the place ot ou
birth. This growth was found In many west
ern town ? , although n friend of his had s'lli
that there wns nothing even In the growth o
Chicago. That reminded of the story o
the individual who had tried to hold In i
small vessel all the water which came from i
spring m a side lull. Soon ho was compellci
to use a pall , then a tub , ttion a barrel ant
finally a hogshead , which , howcvei
could not contain the water whlcl
continued to flow from the sprlue
That was an illustration of the people' :
delay. Their charities were the last tiling t <
be orgaul/.ed. Ho advocated the organiza
tlon of the charities ot this city so that al
mli-'ht meet on a common basis.
Mr. Wines said that the conference hai
not coino to Omaha to Instruct the people
They were not teachers , they woie slmpl' '
students. If the people had anything to tel
them , the conference would bo pleased tn hna
It , In the department ottlio interior at Wash
ington there was a list of the blind , the den
the dumb , the paupers and the cilmlnals nnc
the aggregate reached the appalling numbe :
of 500,000 , or ono in 100 of the population. 1
was appalling that such wns the case , but I
was worthy ot congratulation that thes <
figures did not bo < ln to compare with tin
pauper population of Europe , where it com
prised in some instances as many ns one Ii
thirty-live. If they wished to prevent such i
fate In this country , they should organize
come together , exciiango notes and do wria
tnoy could for the amelioration of the people
The conference had no plans , no principle
which It wished to Impose upon them , I
wanted sirarHy to ascertain the truth.
F. II. SANnOHN.
Mr. Wines was followed by Mr. San
born , who spoke as follows :
Mr. Mayor , Mr. President nnd Gentlemen
The fullness of your welcome nnd the heartl
ness of your greeting as our conferonci
visits for the first time this young giant o
the western cities , leaves little but thanks ti
offer you In return. To many of us , you
scenery is new and your achievements am
your possibilities take us by surprise bu
your hospitality makes us famllla
and at home. We recognize unde
your wild Indian names-Omaha , wlilel
makes us put our hands to our top-hair am
think involuntarily of the tomahawk Ne
braska , with its more soothing sound , am
the swift rush of syllables in Mlssourl-
under these names of the savage , wo rocognlz
the milder aspects of our national clvill/a
tlon nnd are well assured that wo can her
consider the sweet charities without furtho
thought of scalpini ; and roasting. Even th
blb/.nnl does not terilfy us ( being out of sen
soiu and wo trust to your Kindness to se
that wo are not visited by a cyclone durln ;
the session.
You have alluded , gentlemen , to the pccu
liar character of our assembly , that It doe
not seek the usual objects of woildly ambl
tlon , but labors and plans to alleviate humai
suffering and to give a new and fair chanc
to these who , in the hot rac of life , hnv
fallen behind or been trodden unite
foot. Whllo we cannot accept nl
your praises. for simply doln
our dutv , we join with you In upholding thi
work ot charity and of reformation as th
noblest in which men and women can b
employed , and wo nra told ( what wo Miouli
hardly have expected from ceaseless actlvlt' '
nnd evident prosperity ot your youthful coiri
munity ) that hero also are to be found li
dally oporatlon those sources of poverty
insanity , crime , and more than bestial de
gradation , which are so hideously active ti
older cities nnd lands of Innerltci
misery. If there Is anything In ou
experience that can be ot advantage to you
we desire to place it freely at your servlc
and renouncing our dearest Yankee privilege
privilege ot asking questions , wo atror our
selves to bo questioned and cross-examine !
upon these subjects to which some of ou
number have devoted yeara of thought nm
observation.
When Mr. Sanborn had concluded
President Giles was introduced am
grouted with applause. He road hi
spcooh , of which' the following is a sum
niary :
Ladies aud Gentlemen : This nations
conference of charities nnd correction w
organised out of the common Impulse o
scattered laborers In this department o
human activity , who felt the necessity o
mooting for association nnd helpfulness ) . 1
came into being to supply a generally recog
tilled need ot n moro intimate acqualutanci
and a more extended co-operation among thi
men and women Interested In the reform
and philanthropies ot the land. The sent )
ment prevailed that these tasks were to >
great to bn borne alone aud these problem
were too dlllicult to be solved by ludWldua
wisdom.
One of the most Important objects of tbi
conference Is to unity the methods ot phll
nnthropy. While wo must always try to Ii
our work to the special circumstance befon
us. and whllo differences ot ndmmistratloi
will be necessitated by differences of situ *
tlon , yet there are general principles whlcl
underlie all successful efforts , and there ar
essential elements which every true metho <
must embrace. To lay bare these uenera
principles by the report and comparison o
wide-spread experiences , and to arrive a
these essential elements by close observatioi
and searching discussion , In order that al
may work according to the wisest .systen
and that the many may enjoy the dlscoverle
made by each such la the purpose of this oi
gani/ntlon.
We meet from year to year to publlsl
whatever discoveries we have made In on
new fields of olfort nnd Inquiry ; to confes
our mistakes , that others may be saved fron
error and loss ; and to correct our methods b ]
thA aid of thn exnerlences ot our associates
Intimately connected with and includini
foreign Immigration , here are problems tha
touch not only the pockets ot all voters , bu
the deep-lying sources of tholr security am
hapmness , problems with which the legla
later must deal promptly , yet wisely. Thea
are ovlls which He across the pathway of thi
educator and limit lilt success , evils whlcl
confront the church as well as the state , am
make U hard to bring In the kingdom o

for the wretched who owe w voice to tel

Incapable of pleading for themselves , we

To deepen In ovotf talnd a conception oi
those social ovlls , tcUHKcvery heart with the
humanitarian Impulse , , , to organl/o the con
structtvo nnd reforrrratlVo forces ot soclot )
more eftlclently , to create a public sentiment
which shall demand tno wisest methods ,
even If they arc apparently the most oxpeiv
give to teach legislators to have fnlth Ir
ability and IntegrltyTattiartl .n In brlcic anc
mortar , to convince votars that the employ
ment of the best cqulppud and most taleiitci
men Is the truest economy , to bring to ar
end that American folly which Invests Ir
cheap methods and temporary expedient !
nnd rewards partisan services with the bes
places such as are some ot the purposes ol
this conference.
It has boon evident from the beginning
that , to accomplish these objects and to bar
vest this good , this conference must confim
Itself to the work of publishing information ,
of awakening discussion and creating public
opinion.
The work accomplished by this conference
in the last decade IMS outgrown the largos1
expectations ot it ) friends aud Justified tlu
largest hopes respecting Its fiitiuo useful
ness. At Its first muetliu , fourteen years
ngo , loss than n score of delegates attended
nnd they represented thrco states. At the
last year's meeting , at St. Paul , nearly Im
hundred delegates were In attendance , fron
thirtjMhe states nnd territories.
It Is a soutco of gratlilcatlon to noltco the
Increasing attention given to our mooting by
the press of the land that uncrowned klii [
of public opinion nnd unfrocked priest o
knowledge. Kiom year to year the dally papers
pors have made our words known to multl
tildes who , though Interested , could not l > <
hero to listen. The great ingans of publli

r London Correspondence Boston Globe
Visitors to London who are searching foi
now things to amuse thorn , should utuloi
no circumstances fail to visit the tele
graph department of the general post-
ofllce at St. Martins lo Grand , in Cheap
side. It is ono of the most interesting
places in London , yet comparatively feu
Americans , nnd even Europeans , ovoi
twail themselves of the opportunity o
visiting the greatest telegraph olllcti n
thu world.
The place is wound round and roum
with "red tape" mm it usually take !
from three to four days after an applica
tion for a ticket of mlmissiou has beet
liled before a reply Is received. Applica
tlons should bo made to 0. W. Patoy
assistant postmaster general , who ilolo
gates an otlleial of the telegraph depart'
uient to show visitors around.
The noi o which greets one's car or
entering the lirst room , or gallery , if
peculiar. Those who have visitud tin
operating room of the Western Unioi
Tele graph company at 105 Broadway
Now York , will readily recall the deafen
ing clatter of the instruments , sotimlinr.
like musketry In a great battle. Tlu
noise.ono hears in the London ollice is ol
another character , on account of the
difference in apparatus. It rolls toward
you like the grumbling of distant thum
dcr , then swells into un awe-onspirinu
roar and settles back again into at :
ominous moan.
Ono nan scarcely bcllevo one's eyes at
the sight. , Hero are hundreds upon hmr
dreds of old men , young men and boys ,
old womon.yonng women and little girls ,
all busily engaged In the work of trans'
milling , receiving and distributing mes'
sages. Not ono of them is idle. Un thcj
work , never looking up , sending and re
ceiving as if their life depended upon it.
As far as the eye nan reachit encounters
a sea of faces. Hero and there n senior
clerk , or chief operator , is ween walking
up and down thu aisles of his division ,
keeping a watchful eye on his subordi
nates , and urging on to renewed oQ'orts
the weary-looking cheek boys and girls
who are inclined to lapse into inactivity.
The operating rooms of the telegraph
department occupies the entire seventh
and .ijighth iloors of the immense post-
olllc'e builoing , and covers a superficial
area of 03,500 square feet. They are di
vided into live wings or galleries ,
The \Vheatstono automatic telegraph
is the principal system in vogue horo.
This system has lately boon used witli
moro or less success in the United States ,
but the old Morse .style is preferred bi1
American operators for numerous rca >
sons , the principal ono being that it re
quires but little telegraphic knowledge to
become an expert \V hcatstone operator
which brings down the salaries. Yankee
operators are shrewd 1
The Englishman has perfected his
Whoatstone system to such an extent ,
however , that the immeiibu amount oi
telegraphic matter could not be handled
without it on the same number of wires
as are in use at present. It is quite a
complicated system , consisting ot a per
forator , automatic transmitter , rcccivoi
and sounder. The pcrforator.or puncher ,
is an arrangement of three lint keys oi
stool , resembling piano keys. Ono koj
punches dots , another spaces and the
third dashes. A long strip of paper tape ,
about one-eighth of nn men wide , is
placed under the perforator , the ma
chinery is set in motionand as the paper
runs through the operator , with the aid
of two sticks of wood , one in each hand ,
punches the code characters through it.
Ulickcty , clickety , < ! liekoty , click goes the
punch with lightning rapidity , and the
young lady with the two sticks pounding
away on thn key-board , brings back
vividly to one's mind a suggestion of
Mark Twaiu's famous nightmare infla
tion :
Punch , fair lady , pnnch with care ,
Punch In the presence of the vlsltalrc.
Then the tape with the words punched
into it la run through the automatic
transmitter , which brings the matter out
on tape again at the other end at the rate
of 1,500 words per minute.
The Morse Instrument with an improve
ment on the old cede signals , is also used
to some extent , but in this Europeans are
lamentably weak. Their great , cumber
some instruments , which look more like
a boilorrnnkcr's machines , do not admit
of very rapid work.and it is indeed pain
ful for ono accustomed to seeing the
rapid and easy workers in the United
States , to watch the Eugish operator
struggling painfully along with a key
about the sUtt of a lemon squee/.er , at the
rate of twenty words uer minute nt the
utmost. Yet these same operators and
these same keys and sounders in the
London olllco have transmitted and re
ceived over 250,000 telegrams outside of
news matter in ono day.
There are 000 sets of instruments in
use. Some of these comprise four dis
tinct machines , such as the Wheat-
stone and quadruples systems. AH
of these instruments are con
nected at the switchboard or test-box with
tno main lines by "olllco wiro"
which , if stretched out in on continuous
line would reach from Boston to Richmond
mend , Va. This ollico wire Is laid under
the Iloors of the roomsimoh wire is
labelled at the switchboard , nnd it re *
quires but a moment to bring any one
wire , if needed , to the surface.
A special wing is reserved for the news
department where all the special di
spatches for tno newspapers mid press
associations are transmitted. Over
1,250,000 words of press matter have been
handled in this wing in one night.
Thrco miles of .shelving situated in the
basement , are barely sumcicnt to accom
modate the .W,0)0 cells of battery which
infuse the electrical lifo in the fi.OOO ter
minal wires running in and out of the
building.
The entire stall'of the London oflice
numbers 2388. The day force la com
posed almost wholly of women , while
thu mon do the work at night. The
operators are taken from thn ranks of
the chf'k clerks as they grow older
and moro proficient in telegraphy.
From a financial standpoint the Eng
lish operator is far better off than the
American. The government controls all
the telegraphs , and in order to secure
good service places a premium on steadi
ness and sobi iclr. When a man becomes
a continued drunkard or othcrwho nils-
botmvns himself after repeated warnings ,
ho is dismissed from the .service and 0.111
never ro-entor it. This is not tha case in
the United States. I have known hun
dreds of men to walk from ono com
pany's ollice Into another after having
violated every rule in the service. Thu
drunkard element is unknown In Eng
land for the simple reason that it is not
tolerated.
Every toll-graph employe from the
controller down to the battoryman is
given leave of ubsonco once u year , ac
cording to rank. Senior clerks and all
ollicials above that grade receive one cal
endar month's leave of absence per an
num with full pay. All employe * under
thu position of senior clerk ar given
three weeks. Who ever heard of the
\Vustern \ Union company giving an ui
ployo even two days' lonvii with par ?
\VUo eycr heard of tbo'U'estnr'n Union
or any other American company .provid
ing their slok operators with medical old
Rial continuing their nay during tholr Ill
ness ? It is done in England , if n to o-
graphcr id ill ho lias but to send to his
ofllco , nnd the stall'physician will attend
him , the government bearing the ox-
IHMISC andnll this time the slek man's
salary gooi on. , ,
"Are you Interested in lonjc-dlstnnco
toleirruphy ? " asked Senior Clerk Allen
when ho showed mo through the depart
ment recently. Replying in the nlllrmn-
ntlvo , 1 followed him to a ( look In R tils-
tant corner , where ho began to call
"Ms , M.s , Ms , " signing "Ts , " the London
ofllco call. Shortly after "Ms" an-
swercii.
"That is Marseilles , " said Allen. "Inm
going to have him give us Botta on the
northern coast of Africa. " Jerking
away at his monstrous key ho clicked out
to Marseilles : "Ploaso give mo Bona ,
qulok. "
i'All right , " replied "Ms. " 'Cull
him. "
Bona wns "raised , " awl was asked to
put Alexandria on. " ( Jail him , " said
Bona. Alexandria was reached wlthotit
much dlulculty , although the wire seemed
to give an occasional swing or lurch ,
caused presumably by some defective
pole.
"To 'Ad'i Can you give mo AdcnT
"I think so , " said Alexandria. "Wire
been in trouble and been raining much.
Can't got these liuy Arabs logo out after
wire trouble. Try'Do. ' "
"Do , do , do , " clicked the ponderous in
strument. Hero Alexandria broke in ,
tolling "Ts" to adjust his instrument for
Aden. Allen adjusted nnd Aden an
swered , "i. i. Do. ' '
Hero wo had a port In the Suez canal ,
thousands of miles away , nnd it took but
a moment for him to reply to our ques
tion that it was very hot. Could he give
us Bombay ? Of course. "Please call
'Bm. ' "
"It took just ono minute for Aden to
make his connections and for Bombay to
answer us with a cherry "good morn
ing" that sounded as clear as a boll. Ho
said it was hot ; so hot that ho had an.
idea lie would shrivel up if it continued
much longer. When told that I was an
American , who understood telegraphy ,
and that I represented the Globe , ho said :
"Glad to see you. i once lived in Bos
ton. Globe's n great paper. "
After n few more courtesies hud boon
exchanged the wiru "busted" somewhere
