of all government employes in highly
responsible * positions , the railway
postal clerk receives the poorest
pay. He works , regardless of hours ,
day and night , and is constantly exposed
to loss of limb or life when on duty. The
railway postal clerks should rncoivo an
increase of salary if any one in the gov

TIIK train wreckers on the Now York
Central must not bo called laboring men ,
who were dissatisfied with the road.
Even If it proves true that they were
Knights of Labor , the Knights of Labor
must not bo compelled to bear the
atlgmn. The wreckers were merely
diabolical cranks , who thought they
might do the road some harm , not fig
uring or oaring for the human lives im
perilled. After labor disturbances like
those that occurred on the Now York
Central , there is always nome Gulteau
to do the devil's work. Hut in this in
stance organized labor must not bo
blamed. Organized labor had no part
in the wicked scheme , nor will It endorse -
dorse It in any way.
INSTANCKS are not wanting to show
that the divine spirit of generosity ani
mates a few of America's moneyed men.
Several notable examples have recently
been brought to public notice. Alfred
Dolge , the founder of Dolguvillo , N. Y. ,
n prominent manufacturer and ono of
the plonoora of the profit sharing sys
tem , has constructed a superb academy
and library and presented both to hla i
native city. Equally goaorous , not to
Bay lavihb , Is the deed of J.
J , Hill , president of the Great
Northern railroad , who haa presented
half a million dollars to the arch-
dlocoso of St. Paul to found a theological
Hcminnry and a quarter of a million dollars
lars for tut endowment fund to maintain
that Institution. The munificent dona
tions made by John A. Crclghton toward [
the erection of the now St. Joseph's hos
pital Is equally worthy of commendation.
It may bo eald that these monuments of t
philanthropy nro local or sectarian and I
therefore restricted in their power for
good. ( Iranted , To broad minded people
plo , however , it is suHlcicnt to know that I
their object is to educate and olovuto
mankind and to alleviate suffering.
W Tilt' SCHOOLS.
The Hiiinmi-r vacation of the public
schools of Omaha ends with today , and
tomorrow between thlrlci-n and fourteen
thomand children will cntor the "col
lege * of the people , " an the public
tchools have been aptly styled , the
largo majority to resume their studies ,
but many to take their first stop In
school work. I'reparallons have boon
made for taking euro of most of the ox-
pccti'd increase by adding to the routing
capacity of many of the schools , but
the school authorities are confronted
with the usual annual trotiblo of a lack
of accommodations , and It is certain that
some who seek admission to the schools
will have to bo denied for a time. This
In to bo regretted , because there are few
disappointments more keenly foil , both
by parents und children , than the failure
of an application fur admission Into the
hchools , and it need hardly bo said
that Omaha should make ample
provision for all its children
of school ago. There should bo
as little doluy as possible in providing
for every child who cannot bo accom
modated with the existing school facili
ties. Omaha may justly boast of a school
system equal to the host in the country ,
and no child within its limits of eligible
ago should bo denied its privileges.
Some discussion bus been given the
question of establishing a normal school
in Omaha , and the matter Is ono that
deserves earnest attention. It will be
interesting to note in this connection
that In Chicago they have what Is called
the cadet system , by which high school
graduates are enabled after a short
course of additional study to secure posi
tions as teachers. So far as appears this
system has boon found to work well as
an incentive to pupils desiring to pursue
the vocation of teachers , while the
school authorities are always able
to supnly the schools with homo
talent. The advantages of a
system of this character are ob
vious , and wo can see no good reason
why Omaha should bo behind other
cities in provision for supplying teachers
of its children from among those who
have achieved their education in its
public schools. Such a policy is dic
tated by considerations both of expedi
ency and justice.
Tlio reopening of the schools is an in
teresting event alike to teachers , chil
dren and parents. The ample period of
rest has prepared instructors and pupils
to resume work with zeal and relish ,
and parents liud relief from moro or loss
care and anxiety when the children are
at school. It is nn occasion for congrat
ulations , as it will bo for cordial greet
ings , between all whoso privilege it Is to
renew the tnskd and the confidences of
the school room.
'J Ca.SK Or HAllllVXDIA.
The rccout disturbances in Central
America developed no tragedy more
serious and pathetic than the killing1
of General Barrundia of Guatemala
on on American * vessel iti tbo port
of San Jose by olllccrs of the Guate
malan government. It is serious because
it may prove to have bcoa due to a
bhiiider.of our minister , in which case
the United States would bo called upon
by every consideration of justice to render
all possible reparation to the family
of Barrundia. It in pathetic in
having wantonly , as it would scorn , de
prive J a wife and eight children of hus-
> : ind und father.
The simple story is that General Bar-
undia , intending to leave Guatemala
until the difllcultles of the political sltu-
ition ( should bo settled , took passage on
i Pacific mall steamer lying in the port
of San Jose. Ills surrender was do-
nundcd by the Guatemalan authorities
vnd , it id said , refused by the commander
of the steamer. It appears that an ap
peal was then taken to the American
; ninistcr , Miznerwith the result that ho
Instructed tbo commander to allow the
uatonialiin authorities to m-rcst Bar
rundia. At any rate they wont aboard
the steamer , above which floated the
American flag , and when Barrundia re
sisted urrcut they killed him. The case
will bo thoroughly investigated by the
state department , and meanwhile a reso
lution lias been referred to the semite
foreign relations committee declaring
that tbo murder of Barrundia , while
under protection of the flag of the United
Stated , was an insult to the people
of the United States , and demanding
prompt action by tbo government for
the redress of the injury. Of course if
the Guatemalan ofllulnls proceeded on
the authority of the American minister
there Is no ground for any demand on
our part for redress , and If it shall bo
shown that the minister blundered our
plain duty will bo to render to the widow
and children of the murdered man such
reparation as wo can.
The conduct of Minister Mlznor in
connection with the Central American
dlllk-ultlos has bson most roinarkablo
throughout , and In view of his reputa
tion for incoiupetenco and folly , it will
not bo surprising il it shall transpire
that ho consented to the insult to the
Hag of his country involved in this case.
Still ills claimed the action imputed to
him is not without diplomatic prci.'O'
dents. A case U said to have occurred
in Nicaragua in ISS-j Involving the idoiv
tlcal principle with that la the 13arrun
dia case , and Secretary Bayard informed
our minister to Central America
that the Nicaragua ! ! government
had a right to take the innn
wanted from on board an American mer
chant vessel , providing ho were in
Ntcarnguun waters. Had It boon a man
of-war on which Barrundia took rcf ugo
the protection would have been unques-
Honed , us war vessels carry everywhere
the jurisdiction of the country whoso
Hag they fly. On the other hand , when
Captain NVilkos took Mason and Slldell
from the British steamship Trout ,
against the protest of the captain , on
the doimuid of the British government
wo su r rendered thorn , and In
tbo case of Martin Koszta
tbo1 government refused to recognize
the demand of the Austrian government
for his surrender when the captain ol
the American vos3ol on which ho had
taken passage refused to glvo him up.
Clearly , therefore , precedent Is not all
ono way , and it may bo discovered that
the host of it is against the instruction
said to have been given by Minister Mlz
nor to the captain of the Pacific mall
steamer. The government owes it to Us
own dignity nnil honor to glvo the mat
ter a most thorough investigation , giv
ing or demanding n.'dro. < s nivordttig to
the facts , and visiting punishment If It
ohnll bo found to bo deserved.

Ton years ago the manufacturing In-
orosts of Omaha were in their infancy ,
eighty firms were credited as manufac-
iirors in 1SSO , with a combined capital
of three aud a half million dollars.
? hcso eighty firms gave employment to
ovctitoen huiulred and thirteen men. In
un years the Industries have grown tome
mo hundred and forty , with an aggrc-
ate capital of fourteen millions , em-
iloylng eleven thousand men and turn-
tig out In 18S9 products valued at
wenty-four millions.
Those llguros furnish instructive In-
urination concerning the prosperous
jrowlh of our industrial institutions
luring the p.ist decade.Vhllo the
lumber of factories und mills has in-
rented only seventy-live per cent , the
capitalization of factories has increased
hrce hundred per cent , employes four
luiulrod and eighty per cent and pro-
lucts five hundred per cent.
Tlio inarvelous growth of our Indus-
riesls thus strikingly shown In the
freat incroasa in the number of men
employed and the marked Increase in
110 value and'.oluiue of our products.
What has been achieved in the past ton
, -oars can bo duplicated in the present
locade. After all that has been done
3niaha is yet In her infancy as nn indus
trial center. The steady growth of
mpulation and development of the re
sources of the territory tributary to
Omaha broadens the field which Omaha is
destined to supply.
The great packing industries of the
ity offer splendid opportunities for the
jstablishinont of tanneries. The prin
cipal raw product is abundant , fuel is
reasonable and tan bark can bo brought
from Missouri and Arkanw ? at rouson-
iblo rates. The cost of shipping hides
to eastern tunnorioj and the return hereof
of the manufactured product counter
balances the ( Iilloronu3 in the cost
if fuel and tiMiisportut'um of bark.
I'ho establishment of tanneries would
stimulate other industries such as boot
ind shoo factories , harness making and
the manufacture of leather of every de
scription.
Possessing the largest gold and silver
refining works in the country , wo have
111 unlimited supply of the precious
metals for the successful manufacture of
liver and plated ware , and in-.inufneturo
of watch cases. In like nrmuor the pro
ducts of the soil after tempting induce
ments for the establishment of starch ,
oat meal and flour mills , all of which
contribute to tlio wealth of the com
munity by creating a homo m-.irkot , re
ducing the raw mite rial to a manufac
tured product , and swelling the army of
well paid workingmen who are the great
source of prosperity in every largo city.
Omaha must not rest content with the
progress of the pist ten years. Kner-
etic , persistent work is essential to
future prosperity.
PROTKCTlXa TIIK 11HAKKMEX ,
The Nebraska republican platform
demands that railways shall employ all
the means that science supplies to pro
tect the employes of railways from
danger. The committee on railway and
canals in the lower homo of the national
legislature has formulated a bill for the
protection of railway employes which
covers this ground. The .bill provides
that when cars are built or repaired
they shall bo equipped with safety
couplers or draw-bars. The only objec
tionable feature 'Is the time granted for
equipping these safety appliances.
Under this bill the companies would bo
given four years time to equip their
cars. After January 1 , 1835 , all cars ,
both freight and passenger , are required
to bo equipped with ono of the safety
couplers , and after January 1 , 1S03 , ail
locomotives are required to bo equipped
with a propar pavver brake. The pro
visions of the congressional bill of course
apply only to interstate railways. It
will be incumbent on the state legisla
ture to enact similar laws to cover rail
roads operated wholly within the state.
The report in favor of the bill deals
largely with tlio humanitarian bide of
the case , as it properly should. Rail
roads report lucre isod lojj of life and
limb. The committee shows that in the
state of Now York 2,700 are Uillod every
year by the crude nvjthoJs now in use ,

Gilbert & Sullivan , the two genial
Englishmen who have written sev
eral comic oporus which have had
unprecedented runs In the United States ,
swno time ago dissolved partnership , on
account of misunderstandings concerning
the divisions of their profits. Tlio case
got into the courts , and after duo pro
cess of law has just ooon decided , per
haps to the satisfaction of both parties.
The surprising thing about the evidence
adduced was the amount of 11101103' re
colved from their American performing
rights , which in eleven years had
reached the snug sum of three hundrol
thousand dollars. It is safe to estimate
the revenue on both sides of the water ol
those two writers ut half a million del
dars or ulmost fifty thousand dollars a
year. This shows that comic opera may
bo made more remunerative than any
other branch of literature. Learned
and elaborate productions have boon
turned out by the thousands of volumes
in the past eleven years , but tlio
profits have reached nothing like those
enjoyed by those prolific theatrical au
thors. While It Is of course apparent
that all men and women cannot write
coinio operas , the astonishing revelation
of the success of those two clover Eng-
Hehmon should suggest to those who
are of a literary turn , to give their at
tention to librettos , and see If it is not
within thoia to turn out a few pages ol

The manner in which a technical
rado should "bM acquired is at present
ano of tlio unsettled questions appualinj-
or solution to every man of moderate
ncuna who desires to glvo his boy a
ncehnnical education. The Industrial
'evolution ' of the nineteenth century IMS
lomollshod the entire apprentice sys-
om , loading those who dosivo to become
ii'aclleal mechanics to pick up their oil-
toatloii as best they can. "Whether
vorktnon of the present generation
mvo as a rule loss maolvmionl skill
, hivn their piviloco.ssoi-j Is a question
lifllcult to determine , for the conditions
of work have boon entirely changed. If
0110 Is to judge from results alone , the
noclmnlc of today need only point to the
IToetlvenesH of hin work ,
Dtit the enlistment of now recruits In
the grand industrial army Involves the
problem ot cheeking and limiting tlio
supply ot workmen In ratio with the de
mand. This U the problem which chal
lenges the attention of labor organiza
tions.
In the caste system of the Egyptians ,
each child followed in the footsteps of
liis father , and the nuinbor of workmen
was regulated by the natural increase of
the race. Tlio Greeks and the Uoimtis
made use of slaves for their work , whichever
over increasing , loft no over-supply of
labor , but compelled the lordly majors
to fill up the shattered ranks by the Im
pressment of fresh material. Society ,
emerging from the chaos ol the middle
ages , found itself bound to the leagues
and guilds , which by stringent rules
forced each member to piss through
certain gradations of employment , until ,
as master , ho became his own employer.
The system of apprenticeship was but a
direct outgrowth of the guilds resulting
from the transformation of the m istor
workman into a capitalist employing a
few laborers upon his own account , hut
now capitalistic production upon a huge
si-alo olTuclunlly prevents the mechanic ,
with but few exceptions , from over at
taining the position of employer. New
means of obtaining mechanical instruc
tion inu tlloroforo | | l > c ullordcd to tlio
boys that spring from the ranks of labor.
That the necessity for a proper me
chanical education cannot be mot by a
revival of the mpprontico system , has
been realized by4 both employers and em
ployes. This is .strikingly Illustrated by
the fact that , the report of a committee
urging such a revival to tbo session of
loading book and job printers at Boston
last week , was very strongly opposed
and ultimately amended in its main
features. The belief was expressed that
the apprenticeship system had served its
day and that its lace must now bo taken
by mechanical trade schools. At almost
the sauio time , the American bunkers'
association were listening to an address
by Prof. E. J. James of the university of
Pennsylvania , in * which ho pointed oul
the advantages offered by schools of
finance and economy where the princi
ples and routine of banking are taught.
Similar movements are talcing place in
other branches ot business and of
trade. The establishment of free
manual training courses In connection
with the public simools , givo-s the boy a
ground-work upon which tbo technical
trade schools may build , The latter
allow the number of laborers to be regu
lated by the natural operation of the law
of supply and demand , which contin
ually relegates the poorest workmen to
the roar , leaving an open field for the
most skillful. Present circumstances
render n return to the apprentice sys
tem impossible. Everything points to
the mechanical trade school as its log
ical successor.

There is always much to bay about
American women , or , at least , there is a
great deal said. Compared witii the
women of other nations , in morals ,
beauty , aspiration and gratified ambi
tions , the American women certainly
have no just ground for complaint. Yet
oven in all they have , in what they may
accomplish or what they have uccoin
plishcd , thcro are found dibsentcrs in
their rauks.thoso who oppose , and vigor
ously , the whhiH of the strong minded
and weak minded. Elizabeth Stuart
Phelps has recently had her say in a
leading magazine , ubout the low necked
dross. Marion Il'irland ' replies to her
and says many things that cannot bo
endorsed among many things that will
bo most heartily approved. Marion
Uai-lan , in a way , lefoirls low-necked
dresses , and says that they are to bo
given the preference over much other
low-necked vulgarity which 11111113 * fash
ionable women practice. And so a war
of words is on. ' There may have been
customs years aud years ago whion the
Indian maiden who was dressed in noth
ing but hectic ltjsh | and sim-shlno was In
tlio height of fashion. But according tea
a generally accepted Idea , especially
prevalent in the latter part of the nine
teenth century , u dress should at least
have a waist to It. Some women main
tain , those who , believe in modesty as a
jewel , that women should not exhibit
their charms to the vulgar public. Mrs.
Stuart Phelps , ' holds to this view am ]
Marion Ilarlaud does not agree with her.
But the kickerS are on earth , and they
will never all | ) 'p , satisfied. Some women
wear dresses long1 ut the top and bottom ,
Bomo wear abbreviated dresses ut both
extremes , and the world frowns In one
place and applauds in another. The only
thing to do is for mankind to bubmll
patiently and lot the gentle sex fight It
out among themselves.

that the act of 188S , withholding arid

opens wide the doors for Irrigation ditch
monopolies in the west. Much of the
clamor raised for the repeal of the re

Ing government regulation of water

evidence of their selfish motives. The

liold nrid land until u thorough survey

was only partially completed , and thoro-
pcal of the law puts an end to It. The re
sult will bo greater activity among the

Increase in the tillable area , but the fact
that these organizations are given unre

Tin : colleges of America are not free
from young men who give themselves up
to habits of dissipation , and deplorable
Instances of reckless conduct arc by no

they arc the sons of nobility they are en

charged them with courting fierce
and disreputable pleasure , drinkIng -
Ing to excess , gambling in
gilded parlors , and associating with
women whoso presence beside their
mothers aud sisters they would resent as
contagious contact. "What husbands

dcum Tills fearless and honest man has
visited his just denunciation upon only a
few of the thousands of the scions of
English aristocracy who are equally
culpable , and Is It possible that such

England ? Hardly so. Their vices are
destroying them , and with every such
exposure us that made by the dean of
Christ church they grow lower in the
popular contempt. The corruption of
the English aristocracy is a stimulant to
thocau.se of democracy , which is moving
steadily forward to the inevitable at
tainment of complete control of the po

Suppose thcro were no elevators in Tun Uii :
building , everybody would use the grand
stairway , as a uiAttcr of course. If a gentle
man met on the stairway a lady whom ho did
not know , would ho bo cxjicoU-'d to take oft
his hat as they walked up or down stairs I I
hardly think so. Xo , the practice of doning
one's bat in a passenger elevator
is begotten of brainless ninnies ami

The Gifted Knii-ms Kenator Speaks
Klniuoiitlyol'u ] Dead Colleague.
Among the eulogies spoken In the United
Stutot scaato Aug. "I , ujion the lute Senator
James H. Hock of Kentucky , the effort of
Senator Iiigalh of Kansas 1 : worthy of re
production. He H poke , In part , as follows :
IIo has departed. Hla term had not ex
pired , but his name has lieeif stricken from
the rolls of tlio senate. Ills credentials re
main in IU archives , Imtau honored successor
ser sits unclmllongcii in liU pluco. IIo hat no
vote nor voice , but thu consideration of great
measures alrectlng the liitorosw of every
cltucn of tbo republic is Interrupted , with
the concurrence and approval of all , that the
representatives of forty-two commonwealths
may rehearse the virtue * and commemorate
I bo career of an associate who is beyond the
reach of praise or censure , in the IdiigOn of
the dead.
The right to live la , in human estimation ,
the most sacred , the most in vioablo , the nio.H
Inalienable. Thu Jay of living In such a
splendid anil luminous day as this Is incon
ceivable. To exist is exultation. To live
forever is our subllmest hope. Annihilation ,
extinction , and eternal death are tlio forebod
ings of despair. To know.to lovo.to achieve ,
to triumph , to confer happiness , to alleviate
misery , Is r.ipUire. The greatest crime aim
thu severest penalty known to human law Is
thosacriilco und forfeiture of life.
Ami yet wo are all umlersentcnro of death.
Other events may or may not exist. Wo muv
bo rich or poor ; wo may bo 'earned or
ignorant ; wo may bo happy or wretched ; but
wo all must die. The vcriiict has been pro
nounced by tlio Inexorable decree of nn omni
potent tribunal.Vithoiittrial or opportun
ity for defense ; with no knowledge of the
accuser , or the nature und cause of the ac
cusation ; without being confronted with the
witnesses against us , wo have boon sum
moned to the b.ir of life and comluinnoil to
loath. There is no writ of error , nor review.
There is neither exculpation nor amenl. All
must bo relinquished. Hcauty unJ deform
ity , good and evil , virtue and vice , shuro the
sumo relentless fate. The tciulcr mother
cries passionately for mercy for nor first
born , but thcro is no clemency. The craven
felon sullenly prays fora moment in which
to bo uncled , but tlicro U no reprieve. Tlio
soul helplessly beats Its wings against the
burs , shudders and ili.iuppcurs.
The proscription extends alike to the in
dividual and the type. Nations die and
races cypiro. Humanity itself is destined to
extinction. Sooner or later it is the instruc
tion of science that the cncrgv of the earth
will bo expended , anil it will became iocap-
ublu of supporting life. A group of feeble
and p.illid survivors in some sheltered valley
in tbo tropics will behold the sun sink below
the horizon and the pitiless stars glitter in
tlio midnight sky. The lust man will perish
and the sun will rise upon an earth without
an Inhabitant. Its atmospheres , its sea ? , its
life and heat will vanish , and the planeo will
bo an idle cinder uselessly spinning in its
orbit.
Every hour some world dies in the firma
ment ; some sun smoulders to embers und
ashes on the hearthstone of infinite space ,
and the mighty ma/.o nf systems sweeps
coasolshsly onward in its voyage of doom
to njmonclcas ami unsparing destruction.
With the disappearance of man from th
earth all traces of his o.tlstonro will bo lost
The palaces , towers and temples ho lias
vareil , the institutions lie has established ,
the cities ho lias built , the books he has writ
ten the creeds ho hns constructed , the phil
osophies ho has formulated all science , art.
litcraturouml knowledge will bo obliterated
and engulfed Iu empty and vacant oblivion.
The grout irloho itself ,
Yea , all which it Inherit , shall dissolve.
Anil , like this unsubstantial pageant faded ,
Leave not a rack behind ,
Thcto is an Intelligence so vast and endur
ing that the flaming interval between the
birth and death of universes is no more than
the fl.wh of fire-flics above the meadows of
summer : a colossal power by which those
stupendous orbs are launched in the abyss ,
like bubbles blown by a child in the morning
sun , mid whoso sense of justice and reason
cannot bo less potential than tboso immuta
ble statutes that urn the law of being to the
creatures Hohas made , anil which compel
them to declare that if the only object of cre
ation Is destruction , If infinity is the theater
of an uninterrupted bi-rlos of irreparable
calamities , if the final causoof life is death ,
then time is an inexplicable tragedy , nnd
eternity un illogical ana indefensible catas
trophe.
Now , Mr. President , this obsequy Is for
the quick and not for tbo dead. It is not an
inconsolable lamentation. It is u strain of
triumph. It is an nlllrmation to thosowho
survive , that as our departed associate , con
templating ut the clo.se of ills lifo the monument
ment of gooil deeds ho had erected , moro en
during than brass nnd loftier than the pyra
mids of kings , might exclaim with thu Hninuu
poet , "Non oiiinis tnoriar. " So , turning to
thu silent und unknown future , lie could rely
with with just anil reasonable conllilonco
upon that niort. itnprasslvo ami momentous
assurance ever delivered to the liiimaii nice ,
"IIo tint bollovoth in ma. though ho were
