goods over the Missouri Pacific from St.
Louis. Tlio chaigo was bO cents pur bundled
on the shipment , and the Omaha rate was 70
cents. As Lincoln is nearer St. Louis by the
Missouri Pacilic than Omaha , the linn
did not propose to pay higher
freight rates , and consequently they
sued the road for.tho excess freight in justice
court. The road said the coin t had no Juris
diction , but the court said it had , and a jury
was called and the case tried , resulting in a
verdict for the overcharge. The road ap
pealed.

Something About the Wretched

Three Clashes of Needy People A
Meeting To-morrow Night to Discuss -
cuss AVaysniul Means for
Itelicf.
Paradoxically speaking , tlio present
season is the feiuldc.it andinorriost o ;
tlic year. The approach of winter
brings to the rich only anticipations ol
joy. Social revels , with their music
flowers and gaiety will como , ant
tlm long , cold nights will pass rapidlj
away. Bright fires will bond forth their
cheerful glow , nnd in co/.y homes no
thoiighth of misery will conic. But in
what strange rontrast iiro the fore
bodings of the poor. The spectres o
misery , want , cokl and 'starvation are
over before their eyes , anJ to thorn the
joys of their more fortunate fellow creatures
turos scorn but hollow mockeries. Then
crime stalks in , and uses their despair
IM stepping Clones over which to lout
them to still lower depths of wretched
ness. Omaha has never neglected hoi
poor. Many thousands of dollars have
been spent to alleviate suffering , am
the purses of many good people have
been freely opened to give biiouor. But
it must bo remembered Unit the city is
growing rapidlyand the number of can
inflates for chanty has boon greatly in
creiibcd. Stop- , should bo taken at once
to prepare for atloriling relief.
TUB VICIOUS VOOIl.
The poor of Omaha may bo dividci
into three clones : The vicioustho help
less and the independent. To the llr
class belong those wretched people who
would rather btonl than work. The mule
portion are always drinking men , am
every dollar that comes to them , either
honestly or dishonestlyHnds its way over
the bar of the saloon-keeper. In man ;
instances those men have wive
who dolvp and slave at the wash
tub or in other menial capacities
honestly trying to earn a livelihood
But the continued brutality of their
masters , together with the knowledge
of crime that ia over manifest before
thorn , must of necessity bring thorn
down to the level of their associations
This particular phase of poverty ha.
been the subject of much philanthropic
investigation of lute , and \vhilu n lint
of action has not been fully
determined upon , heroic measures wit
undoubtedly bo adopted. In fact one
remedy has already been tried in Chi
cjigo and proved to bo very successful

that because thes-o people are criminals
their wretchedness is more deplorable
than that of any other class and should
receive attention.
Till : IIKU'IjK'-K 1 ( ) OU.
This class consists mainly of the sicker
or aged. A careful canvass of the city
should bo made and every case given
careful attention. llo\v they manage
to oxibt nt all is a matter of condor-
. Of ' the commissioners
meat. con I'M ) county
sioners supply their wants when made
known , and the city physician does bib
part if called upon , but the nanpcrs are
afraid to ask too often , fearing refusal.
A BKK representative during the past
week visited savornl hovels where there
is sickness. Ono old woman in tlio last
stngesof consumption , the only attend
ant being a nine-year-old grandchild ,
was found soaking a piece of stale bread
in water. This was the only thing nho
had in the house to eat. Being asked
why she did not apply to the county
commissioners , she replied that she had
done so lour weeks ago , and that they
sent her a supply of food and fuol. This
she had used sparingly , fearful that a
second request \\ould bo refused. In
the four families of this class visited
this seemed to bo the universal fear ,
though it seams to bo without founda
tion.
THK lNIii'iX : KNT I'OOll.
This is a cla-s which obtains aid only
when driven to it and meet with the
chocrfulest of givers. If by any means
the ignominy of begging can bo averted
it is donu. There uro no drones in this
class. The father , if there is one , seeks
to support his family , and each ono does
what ho or she can. In cases whcro
thciois an able-bodied father charity
is seldom or never asked , o.\ccpt when
sickircss strikes him down. Poor wid
ows are also mo t ambitious to escape
being identified with the pau-
pur element. Months before the
approach of winter she and her chil
dren begin preparations for the cold
season. Their wants nro few , clothing ,
food and fuel being the lending ones.
The two latter are comparatively easy
to obtain.Vhilo the mother is engaged
in her daily vocation .tho children are
gathering driftwood , blocks and refu o
lumber from now buildings , or perhaps
picking up coal along the railroad
tracks. Those youngsters work like
beavers , and often accumulate enough
fuel before cold wcathor both in , to keep
thorn comfortable until spring. Much
food is also obtained ny those busy chil
dren. Ono widow lady , living on the
bottoms , showed the writer a largo bin
full of potatoes. There must have been
at least thirty bushels. She proudly
assurrud her visitor that two of her
children had brought homo every one
of tncm during the past
month. The boys frequented the
upper freight yards where manj
carloads of vegetables were unloaded
and those that dropped to the ground
worn picked up and carried home. This
widow aKo had plenty of other vegeta
bles. Clothing is obtained in manj
ways. She some times accepts it in pay
ment for work done , nnd of course receives -
coives many presents from families who
know of her poverty and independence.
The cast-oil garments are carofullj
cleaned and remado. Moat is oblaincc
from the great packing houses at South
Omaha , and of course is much chcapoi
than if bought at a retail shop.

There is no doubt that the present
public organizations for charitable

to successfully cope with this problem.
A meeting has been called for tomorrow
row ( Monday ) night in the council
chamber at the city hall. The time
sot is 70 : ! ! o'clock , and it is to bo hoped
that every charitably inclined man and
woman in Omalm , irrespective of creed ,
should bo present. From Mrs. Dr. C.
N. IMnsmore , formerly secretary of tha
national conference of relief and cor
rections , it is learned that the princi
pal subject for discussion will bo the es
tablishing of a free soup house in thlB
city. Such an institution as this would
do an incalculable amount of- good , and
the project should moot with the hearty
support of all. Ways and means for
pausing relief will bo discussed. As
said before , it is imperative that all per
sons interested in this work should bo
present to-morrow evening.

It is now generally admitted that where
competition is entered into between the
several local railway lines that the cars
drawn by hoi sns will labor at n serious dis
advantage when compared with those of tlio
cable and motor lines. The latter may bo
run less expensively with greater speed and
consequently with more satisfaction to the
public. With these fuels , the horse railway
men have long been conveisant , and have
been seriously considei ing the best means of
saving themselves from injurious competition.
It was tills Ideu which , a slioit time ago , led
to a consideration of the feasibility of consolidating -
solidating all the local railway lines ,
of which mention was made in the
BKK. In such a move , however , the horse
line would unquestionably bo rated lower
than would the other lines , after they hod
demonstrated their superiority over the
former. To more evenly balance the pro
posed consolidation It is now Intended to do
away with horses on the sticot lines now
in operation , nnd substitute for them u motor
which , whllo furnishing pionclling power ,
will at the same time , in winter , heat the
cars. Several motors at o now being consld-
01 cd , but it U understood that MuLaughlin's
of Omaha receives most encouragement. This
tiunsfcr will cost possibly a $1,000 a car , but
it would do away with horses , thocostof sup
porting them , their wearing out , nnd a num
ber of other Items which nro now considered
of great impoitance.
