TOUIIK Wuiimn'u Plight.
Douglas County's Chnrlty Itooin.
Poverty Is on the increase in Omaha.
There Is nothing remarkable In that. It is
a natural sequence of growth in other
directions.
Four years ago , before Douglas county of
ficials had moved from the old ram-shacklu
mid weuthor-beutcn buildini ; an the corner
of Sixteenth mid Farnam streets , that did
duty as n court house , Into the more com
modious and modern structure on the hill ,
Ike Plorco , then superintendent of poor , had
n comparatively easy time of it. Once or
twice a week ho would sit In front of the old
building , sometimes using a clmir , but more
often resting his weary bones on the yard
hydrant , and issue orders for groceries , med
icines or fuel to needy applicants for relief.
An hour or two might be consumed In the
work. In the winter he would change his
post , and transact his business anywhere
within the old building that best suited his
imrpose on the particular day.
Things nave changed since then.
The. old court-house lias boon wipeu out of
existence , and a stately oflloo building marks
the spot. Ike Pierce has been succeeded by
John Muhonoy as county agent. Omaha has
twloe lut many people as then , nml Omaha's
jumper population lias quadrupled. Instead
of dealing with u few < loen u week as then ,
the prevent county agent furnishes relief to
upwards of three bundled families.
There Is nothing remarkable about it.
Some have grown rich , and the natural law
Is tliuV poverty will Increase ns the popula
tion Increases ,
A BISIJ repot tor spent two da > sof last
weolt Thursday and Friday in the county
agent's room , and watched the applicants for
relief us they came and went. Down in the
basement , In the southwest , corner of ttio
building' , Mr. Mahonuy and his assistant ,
Frank Zlinmcr , hold dally levees. In the
main room Is a largo bin , divided into four
compartments , one tilled with Hour , another
with bciius , another with coffee , and the last
with tea. At one. end is u pile of soap boxes.
Around the room are sacks of Hour , chests of
tea , and bags of coffee and beans. In ono
room is the county agent's desk and In an
other tlio county dispensary , supplied with
drugs of variety suflleicnt to 1111 the general
run of physician's prescriptions , borne
Idea of the culls nuulo for
relief can bo pained when it is known that
an average of 1,600 pounds of flour uro Issued
weekly , supplemented by ilOO pounds of
beans , 100 pounds of tea , 150 pounds of coffee
nndaoO burs of soap. During the last three
days of the past week orders were issued for
about 11 ft con tons of coal in half ton lots.
A chock must bo kept on the applicants to
prevent Imposition and a reckless squander
ing of rullof furnished. A certain quantity
of groceries is furnished weekly , ami to pro-
vcu t the. possibility of "ringing in" of tenor u
W\nJ i furnished each nupllvnnt on the Jlrst
vUit , If It was 1 hursday , January 10 , the
data is entered on the card. On subsequent
vlfits for rations the card must bo presented ,
and if the last entry shows that a week has
claiaed | a second Issue of rations la
allowed. If a week lias not olansod the np-
pllcnnt must go empty-handed until the
proper day arrives. No card , no grub. For
fuel orders are issued on the contracting

Jleiury 1 * warned to preserve the coal driver's
receipt , which shows the date of
delivery. If the driver's receipt shows that
two weeks have elapsed , another half ton Is
allowed. If two weeks have not gone by ,
lUp relief Is refused except where it U
known that sickness exists in the family ana
unusual demands uro made on the coal al
lowance.
It is an old savinp that one-half .of the
world is ignorant of the way tile other half
> Afnw , ° urs spent in County Agent
Mahonoy's rooms will 'afford abundant op
portunity for Btudy aim reflection. Take
some of the applicants and inquire into their
history. 1 ho Jirst to attract the attention of
I HE Hen representative was Mrs. Lipps.
Mrs. Lipps resides on the bottoms. To state
that she lives on the bottoms is equivalent to
saying that .Mrs. Lipps is positively poor.
Besides being poor Mrs. Lipps is the wid
owed mother of tnroo children and is a sufferer -
feror from epileptic Ills.
Mrs. Lipps enters the ofllco mid strikes
Assistant Zimmor for half u ton of coal.
Although she resides on the banks of the
Missouri where water is plenty , Mrs. Lipps
is unwashed and dirty repulsively dirty.
Her face is smeared , her tattered garments
unbrusiicd and her bony hands unwashed.
1 here was very little ceremony about Mrs.
Lipps.
"I want an order foi some coal , " she said.
"Where Is yourtioketf" demanded Cleik
dimmer. "I think it's only u week since you
got the last. "
"I forgot the ticket , " was the answer.
"Then you can't have any coal , " rejoined
Mr , Xiimnor.
"Look hero , " said Mrs. Lipps. "ticket erne
no ticket , I want some coal. The children
are sick and I must have something to keep
them warm. If I have to go homo and re
turn with that ticket I'll be sick. In fact , I
feel sick now. "
"For heaven's sake don't get sick hero , "
said Mr. Ximmor , as ho started to lill out an
order which he handed her , and she went
her way.
When she had gone the 13ir. : man nslced
him why he changed front so suddenly ,
"If I hadn't , " ho answered , "you would
probably have had an unwelcome icmalo fall
into your lap. She wouldn't fall there for
the purpose of receiving loving carcases , but
in the throes of an epileptic lit.Vo know
her of old. She can have a lit whenever
she wants to , and she generally wants to
when wo refuse her relief when she comes
for it. Wo would sooner strain u point than
have the lit. "
Another female applicant attracted the in
quisitive attention of the linn representative.
She called on Thursday afternoon. She was
extremely loquacious , decidedly pleasant for
a county charge , and dressed rather well for
one who is homeless and sick , and dependent
on strangers. She is young , fairly pintty ,
aud living In widowhood
She has a history. '
A few years ago she was living with re-
spcctublo Irish ( Jatholio parents in a town in
Minnesota. She met and loved n youth
named Kckert. A marriage was the result ,
but the union win , consummated against the
stiong protests of the parents. They ob
jected to her husband , und subsequent events
pioved the wisdom of old heads as against
young hearts. The couple came to
Omaha. Kcltert secured employment in u
Douglas street furniture house. Tune went
by and ho was arrested at the Instance of
his employers. Ho was an ombowlcr. Tno
crime was proven , and a year ago ho was
sentenced to the penitentiary to servo a four
years' term. In the meantime- his wife was
taken sick. She Is a skillful dressmaker , but
she can't work. She Is willing , but what
docs willingness amount to when u clnonic
ailment prevents her. She is suffering from
n complaint peculiar to her sex , and County
Physician Keogh ccrtilles to tbo physical Im
possibility of her working at a sowing ma
chine and \vlmt can u seamstress earn with
her lingers.
Thursday afternooil slio was at the county
building laughing , jolly , pleasant. Friday
morning a female friend conies in Lurricdly
with three prescriptions to 1111. Mrs. iJelfert
was taken seriously sick during the night
and was unable to leave her bed In the
morning1 ,
Yes , she has a history , and it Is a sad one.
A few years ago she murriod the man of her
choice. Then everything looked bright to
her. Now ho occupies a convict's cell , and
the girl ho swore to cherish and protect is
homeless , penniless , friendless , sick , a
county charge-ulouo In a great city.
Scarcely had she loft the room when a
strong , healthy , mlddlo-aged German en
tered. Ho wanted some coal. lie was well
dressed , and everything about hml bespoke
respectability. His request for assistance
was refused by Mr. Muhoney pending an In
vestigation Into Uls needs. Ho pleaded.
Itib babies were sick , and he was without
fuel to k/cp ! thorn warm , ho was told to go
und bring n certificate from nis physician as
a guarantee that ho was not an impostor.
Ho hurried off. and returned , soon with the
certificate. The order for coal was issued ,
and ho left.
Who Is ho ?
He has resided in Omaha Just six weeks.
He came hero from Green county ,
Jowa , with WOO worth of personal
effects. Ho was led , ho says ,
into a saloon partnership on South Tenth
street and in a few duvs lost all his means.
Ho resides in the neighborhood of Vintoti
and Seventeenth streets , with a wire and
five children , two of them sick , a stranger in
n , great city without wdrlc. Ho has not no-
quired a residence In Nebraska yet , but still
ho calls on the county for aid. Six weeks in
a great , city , sickness overtakes him , and ho
has not the means to buy medicine. Hut ho
wouldn't let $300 slip away so easily next
time.
Two days in County Agent Muhonoy's of-
lieo gave the Hun reporter an excellent op
poitunity of surmising , at least , how the
other half ol Omaha lives. How differently
the applicants act. There is the decrcpia
old eronc who has called so often she goes
about it in a familiar sort ol way ; the poorlv
clad children , with pinched and hungry
faceswho greet one another in u sort of I've-
mot-you-licre-boforo way the young widow
who comes In with n shy and frightened look ,
who talks in whispers lost , HIO ! thinks , the
crowd around will know.sho is asking aid to
help her feed and clothe her fatherless
babes ; the impudent and ill-bred boy , who
says his name is Hisliop , and
father's sick , and he wants some coal , aud
ho lives on Fourteenth and Leaveiuvorth ,
but who Is gently informed by Mr. Muhonoy
that the county can't undertake to provide
for professional beggar * . In striking con
trast were the two little German hoys who
came In with heads uncovered , poor , but lit
tle gentlemen , received their weekly portion
tion , and bowed a thank you as they went
out the door ; they are the children of recent
arrivals from Germany , who , perhaps to
their disappointment , failed to Und gold dollars
lars growing In the streets of Omaha.
Friday Is the busy day of the week. From
11 in the morning until 4 in the afternoon
over ono hundred people had called and were
supplied with a week's provisions. The al
lowance H equall/ed as near as possible with
out weighing , usually three ordinary grocers'
scoops of Hour , ono of beans , coffee and tea
each , Mid two bars of laundry soap. Each
strange applicant is visited by either Mr.
Mahoney or Mr. Ximmor nofore anything is
furnished. Where the applicant is found
worthy the name is entered on the register ,
with the residence and number In family. If
on Investigation it is found relief is not war
ranted it is refused. An honest effort is ap
parently made to prevent imposition.
Poverty is on the Increase in Omaha.
"Tho poor yo have with you alwuy , " and
the creator the growth of the city doubly
greater in proportion the Increase of poverty.
It is the natural law.

A SCHOOL TEXT BOOK SCHEME
A Peculiar California Job and Its
Management.
IT IS SOMEWHAT OF A SWINDLE.
How Much Money There is In it For
Some People Some Dimul-
of the Uni
form System.g i
A State Printing Job.
Los ANGIJU : ! * , .Tan 14. [ Special Cor
respondence of Tin : Bun. ] At the ses
sion of 1883 , the legislature of Califor
nia , passed a law that the state should
compile , publish and sell its own text
books. The lira t tu't provided for three
readers , ono speller , ono arithmeticonc
grammar , one United States history undone
ono geography. Two years later ele
mentary works on arithmetic , grammar
and geography and a book on physiology
and hygiene wore added to the list.
These are compiled under the direction
of the state board of education , who
were authorized to employ competent
persons for the purpose and to li.v the
remuneration of the compilers. It was
also provided in the law , that if any
individual saw lit to donate a text-hook
with a copyright , and the exclusive
privilege of'sale to the state , that the
board might accept the gift. The designs -
signs for cuts and engravings are all
prepared under the direction of the
slate board and the printing is all done
at the state capital under the supervis
ion of the state printer. Copyrights
arc obtained by the hoard and the slate
system is forced upon all districts willy
nlllv.
The first appropriation was $20,000
for compilation and $150,000 for the
purchase of material and pay of em
ployes. In 1887 tlio legislature appro-
uriated $10,000 for a warehouse in
wiiicn to store the hooks ; $7,600 to meet
the deficiency of the last appropriation ;
$1-.000 for compiling the additional
sorics-and $105,000 for material , wages
and other expenses of publishing , mak
ing a grand total of . .appropriations
to date of $ , ' ( (17,500 ( for the ohoino.
Tlio hooks are furnished to the school
districts through the county superin
tendents mainly , and the county boards
of supervisors are compelled to provide
the superintendent with a revolving
fund to ho used in conducting the
school book trade. Thoicounty super
intendents , principals ol normal schools
and secretaries or clerics iof school dis
tricts order their books- through the
state superintendent of public instruc
tion. The prices ol books are llxod by
the state board , and the cash must
accompany each order. The state
board of education undertake to fur
nish the books to pupils at the cost
price in Sacramento. A' margin is
allowed dealers about equal to the cost
of mailing tlio books , if mailed direct
to individuals. A dealer desiring to
hantllo the books forwards tm'allldavit
as follows :
"In consideration of receiving for
sale , upon the inclosed , or upon any
future order , the series of school text
books , or any part thorpof , published
by the atato of California , I hereby
agree that I will not soil to any person
or persons for the purpose of being sold
again , or to any person or parsons beyond -
yond the limits of the state of Cali-
forniaand that I will not sell said series
of text books , oi1 any part or portion
thereof , .it ii price exceeding the price
to the pupil fixed by the Btuto board of
education.1
The following table show-j the prices
of books so far prep.ired iind ready for
use :
It will bo soon that the dealer is al
lowed a very narrow margin of profit.
The only reason why any dealer it > will
ing to handle the books is found in the
indirect benefit resulting from has ing
tbem in stock.
The whole thing is looiced upon by
thinking men in this slate tib u gigantic
job. Tno benefits arising are two :
First , uniformity of text books ; second ,
cheapness to the pupil. The diHidvan-
tnges of the scheme are numerous , and
recognized very guner.illy by educators
outside of the state board. Some of the
books are ltd mi table , but they do not
all come up to that f-tandiml of excel
lence achieved by eastern publishers.
Nearly every teacher thinks it a disad
vantage to ho limited to the selection
of text-books to the production yf the
fraternity in this stato. The grammar ,
for instance , commended by one
teacher who regards the United States
History ns a very dry and uninteresting
work. It is entirely too heavy
for elementary students , and
lacks that brightness which gives
reputation to some of the works pub
lished by the great New Vorlf and Chicago
cage iirms. The state board selects
some eminent instructor and engages
him to compile a text book , ilo mm he
usiiporior teacher and a wretched edi
tor. His book comes before the board ,
is examined and a pressure brought to
boar at the right time secures its en
dorsement. The compiler obtained the
job through his political friends , and
forcas the result of his labors upon the
state by the same method. The princi
ple is admittedly bad.
The language of the law olToutually
shuts out competition , for it oilers no
bonus for excellence in the preparation
of a text book. The compilation is done
by some teachers in the state who are
paid a per diem. If it opened the com
pilation to competition of eastern ex
perience and knowledge , the results
would bo far more satisfactory. The
city of Sail Francisco , with its board of
education , its skilled teachers , is not
permitted to select the series of books to
bo used in its public schools. It takes
lie state books , good or bud.
The expense to the Btuto is enormous.
The character of printing , not alto
gether excellent ; the opportunity for
jobbery unparalleled in the history of
state printing schemes. The state
board of education , which is supposed
to father the idea , is obliged to appear
before the legislature as lobbyists in
order to secure the appropriations re
quired. The original plant and cost of
compilation is a fixed charge , and the
expense of printing the books depends
upon the skill , economy and honesty of
the printing department , The state
usurps u business properly belonging to
private enterprise , and all on the plea ,
of saving money to the school children.
A bettor plan would have been to invite
I competition from e us torn houses first
| ate the character of the text books ,
and iecond as to the cost of producing
them. A still bettor plan would bo to
keep out of the school book business en
tirely , and lenvo it where it belongs
' to men who maltoit abusiness , and who
i are forced by competition to olTor the
best goods at the lowest prices.
