OMAHA needs nothing HO much as

them.
CAHTr.it IlAKitiSON Bays ho wont into

Recent events show that Crocior wont

Tim state papers charge the defeat

emphasis on the pipe.
LAIIOIIINO men of Omaha have reason
to look forward to the season's work
with hope. The Improvement of the
streets and the construction of buildings
plvo every promise for plenty of work
and fair wagon.
A LAHGK number of applications for
positions as inspectors of public work
are in the hands of the board of public
i
works. The board will do the public a
valuable service if it will discard all
requests based merely upon political
qualifications.
To Tlin average citizen the Bugcros-
tlon that -boulevard shall extend
through the valley from Bemis park to
Ilanscom park , with small reservations
along the route. Is the correct Idea. Lot
us have breathing places within easy
roach of the homos of our working poo-
plo.
INTWHKSTLINO with the problem of
coutt house enlargement it will bo well
for the commissioners to move cau
tiously. If the present court house is to
bo rebuilt the commissioners should en
deavor to remodel the structure without
marring Its architectural effect. A fonr-
story tower would not look much better
on the court house square than on the
Richards corner.
AMONG the commendable laws enacted
by the late legislature Is the act requir
ing railway companies tooqulp their box
cars with such' automatic couplers or
drawbars as shall avoid the necessity of
going between the ends of the cars to
couple or uncouple thorn. To' railroad
men the enforcement of this law moans
the saving of many lives and an escape
from the constant danger of being
ir aimed.
THE board of publlo works , acting
upon the suggestion made by TUB BKK ,
proposes to have an ordinance intro
duced to compel all property owners
within the flro limits , whoso sidewalks
nro out of repair , to replace thorn with
stone , cement or brick pavements. It Is
to bo hoped that the council will
promptly pass the ordinance. It will bo
the first otop toward abolishing the
plank walk nuisance.
TUB dinicultlcs between the Stock
yards exchange .and the American llvo
stocic commission company have boon
adjusted and the growers' organization
is admitted to the exchange on oven
terms with all other members. This
ends an acrimonious controversy , to set
tle which appeal was made to the courts ,
in which a case ia now pending. It was
also the proximate cause of the effort
made to pass a law in the legislature
regulating the matter In dispute. ' The
fight is still on at Kansas City and Chi
cago. _
TUB builders' exchange of this city is
earnestly bent upon opening a school In
which elementary instruction In the
building trades shall bo clvon to youth
Booking such training. It will bo a
manual training school under the super
vision and direction of practical everyday -
day workmen. Such schools are in suc
cessful operation in Now York , Boston
and other eastern cities , and Omaha
proposes to keep abreast with the met
ropolitan Ideas of other enterprising
centers of commerce nnd population.
The idea ia commendable nnd is creat
ing no little enthusiasm among the
members of the exchange from among

tools will bo obtained gratia.

The visit of the chief executive of the
nation to any of its cities not Immedi
ately adjacent to the capital Is a mem
orable ovcnt. Our country lt > so wide in
area , and Its cities are so numerous that
only thoi'oon great trunk transportation
lines are likely to bo favored. In 1887
President Cleveland spent a few hours.
Ills honor and the citizens Apared no ef
fort to feliow to himself and party tholr
appreciation of the distinction ho had
afforded Omaha. Largo crowds' poo-
phi from all the region adjacent were in
the city. It was the largest gathering
of out of town pcoplo the city had over
witnessed.
President Harrison has included
Omaha In his tour to the coast and re
turn and will bo the honored guest of
the city May lit. Omaha and Nebraska
should tender him an ovation. The dig
nity of his olllco alone demands that the
occasion bo made memorable. The
chief executive of the nation should bo
received with the honors boiltting his
ox/ilted station. When General Grant
and Presldont Cleveland were In Omaha
all her citizens regardless of politics ,
'breed or nationality , united to show
to them that Americans delight to honor
America's llrst citizens.
President Harrison has especial
claims upon Omaha and Nebraska. Ho
has on all occasions exhibited his cor
dial feeling and good will to this city
and state. Ho has not boon ignorant of
the growth and importance ) of either ,
and in recognition of the merits of both
has called into prominent positions of
honor and trust more Nebraskans than
any predecessor. To republicans this
has been gratifying , of course , but the
stale at largo should not bo unmindful
of the honors and favors bestowed upon
her citizens.1
It behooves Omaha and the citizens of
this state to demonstrate tholr regard
for the president and to this end the
local authorities and those along the
line of the railroad over which ho will
travel on his return from the Pacific
coast should give practical proofs of
western loyalty and hospitality.
TllK AllMl' OF PAUl'EltS.
In the current number of an eastern
review Prof. Richard T. Ely supplies
some facts and suggestions regarding
pauperism in the United States which
are interesting and timely. Trustworthy
statistical information Is not to bo ob
tained , owing to the fact that many of
the statoa do not provide for gathering
information on this subject , while the
Inst national census Is defective In
this particular. The estimated num
ber of paupers In the country
Is about half a million , which
Prof. Ely considers too low , and
doubtless the estimate of the secretary
of the Now York charity organization
society is nearer the truth , that placing
at : ! ,000,000 the people in the United
States who are supported , wholly or in
part by alms. "While this number Is
less than 5 per cent of the population ,
it is still a great army to exist in a
country like this , and constitutes an evil
or a disease that demands serious atten
tion.
tion.Prof.
Prof. Ely estimates that the loss to
the country through this army of pau
pers is not far from $100,000,000
annually , and is two-fold the dlro'ct
loss in the expenditures from the public
purse required for their maintenance ,
and the Indirect loss through the failure
of those pofbons to bo producers and not
consumers alono. Prof. Ely bollovos
that for the most part pauperism is a
remediable ovil. Experiments in Eng
land and Germany have shown this to bo
the case , and efforts In this country to
mitigate the evil have in numerous In
stances proved auccossf ul. A plan of sys
tematic visitation and * of aiding the
unemployed to obtain employment
often produces the most satisfactory
results. There are some willing to bo
self-supporting whoso powers are unde
veloped , and such may advantageously
receive instruction so as to enable them
to take care of themselves , but whore
pauperism is the result of a moral do-
fcct , as it is in perhaps a majority of
cases , it requires severe , though not
unkind treatment.
The chief causes of pauperism are
heredity and environment. Intemper
ance is a potent factor , and unwise phi
lanthropy contributes Its influence. The
remedial requirements suggested by
Prof. Ely are : The removal of children
from contaminating influences ; stoppage -
page of miscellaneous alms-giving ; dis
couragement of oary ) and .thoughtless
marriages ; and the development of
charity organization societies. Ho re
gards trades unions as helpful in the
contest with pauperism , but considers
the chief agency of reform to bo a hearty
and helpful co-operation of citizens with
public authorities. Pauperism and
crime are allies , and there is reason to
apprehend that both nro steadily
Increasing in this country. While
no serious or adequate efforts nro any
where making to chock their progress ,
yet In the opinions of Prof. Ely modern
society has sulllciont resources to curq
the evil of pauperism If it would but
apply them.
A PKltl'liKXIKG 1SSUK.
At the recent meeting of the Now
York conference of Methodist ministers ,
the question which excited the greatest
interest and thormost vigorous discussion
was thnt of admitting women delegates
to the general conference , or supreme
legislative body of the Methodist Enls *
copal' church , The Now York confer
ence voted against the proposition three
to one , and it Is believed this action re
flects the general sentiment among the
ministry of that church , and probably
also of the majority of Mothodlut
women. There was sotno very spirited
talk on both sides In the conference.
The advocatoii of the admission of women
insisted thnt the Idea that women could
not take part In iho service was ex
ploded long ago , and they utterly ro.
pudlutod the proposition that if women
were admitted to the conferences a total
revolution would follow. Ono minister
said ho could not agree with fie Idea
that the Creator had made the sexes en
tirely separate , one for the hearth nnd
the other for the Hold. lie had found
on looking back to the beginning
that God created man , male and
female , in Ills own imago. Women to
day were taking many of the places
which before had been occupied by men
only , and ho believed it wns the wish of
the Savior that women should have con
trol ( n the churches equally with men.
On the other hand , it wa.s contended
that what was proposed was n violation
of nature and n violation of God's laws.
Said ono minister opposed to the propo
sition : "While woman does the work at
homo , man goon forth to secure to woman
her clmnco to do her work for
the race. Man is the natural protector
of woman , Woman Is the loft nrm of
the race , nursing it. Man Is the right
nrm , protecting the race. In the pro
portion that woman Invades the sphere
of man , just In that proportion docs she
rolled upon us. The place of woman Is
homo. There Is no homo without wo
man. Woman cannot sit in judgment
and bo impartial , because she would bo
tolerant to the men and Intolerant to
the women. The best power of woman
In judicial halls is her wish. "
This was an exceptionally strong
presentation of opposition views , but
tlioactlonof the conference would seem
to leave no room for doubt that It mot
with pretty general concurrence.
The general conference , which will
meet In Omaha next year , will decide
the question of the admission of women ,
and in the moantlmo it. will bo acted
upon by the local conferences. The vote
of the lally has already been given in
favor of the proposition , but it is held
that this did not indicate nny general
demand nmong the women of the
church for the Innovation , and besides
only a small part of the membership
voted. It Is contended that if the
women of the church generally desired
to sit as delegates In the supreme legis
lative body they are a sulllciont power
to Iniluoncc the pastors In tholr favor ,
nnd the fuel that they have not united
to do this shows that a largo proportion
of them are either opposed to the inno
vation or Indifferent. The discussion of
this question has boon maintained for
years , but never before with quite as
much earnestness nnd fervor as
now , and until the general conference
makes its decision thorj Is not
lllcoly to bo any other issue that will
command greater attention in the
Methodist Episcopal church. The re
sult in the general conference will , it is
felt , have a far-reaching influence. If
unfavorable it will tend to give a great
setback to the woman suffrage move
ment , while that movement Is expected
to receive a vigorous impulse if the re
sult is favorable. It would bo unsafe to
predict from present indications what
the outcome will bo.
FlFTi" I'K/l/fS OP .1 GREAT J
On last Friday the fiftieth anniversary
of the founding of the Now York Trib
une was celebrated in a way worthy of
the distinguished career of that
journal and ot Its eminent posi
tion among the influential news
papers of the world. A company , com
prising men of national renown In litera
ture , law and politics , filled the largest
opera house on the continent and spoke
in praise of the journal which half a
century ape was launched by Horace
Grcoloy , and which after some
vicissitudes became a mighty power1 in
the affairs of the government and the
people. The president of the United
States , the secretary of state , dis
tinguished senators and others , who
could not bo present , sent expressions
of their high esteem for the Tribune nnd
of the honor in which they hold the
memory of its founder , the peerless ed
itor whoso fame grows greater with the
advancing years. It was a celebration
altogether proper and appropriate , and
in all respects worthy and memorable.
The origin nnd growth of the Now
York Tnlnne ought tohnvo an interest
for everybody who would bo well in
formed regarding the. instrumentalities
and influences that hava been potent
during the eventful period since the
Tribune was founded. The part played
by that journal had much to do with
shaping the course of ovonts'in the last
half century , nnd making the wonderful
history which must always possess a pro
found Interest for mankind. It wns the
most powerful champion of a policy
of protection to home industries.
It fought with the .greatest per
sistence nnd struck the hardest blows
against the slave power. It was n
mighty Influence in nlding the govern
ment by stimulating popular patriotism
when rebellion sought so destroy the
union. Yet few institutions that have
grown to greatness and power had HO
humble a beginning or passed to success
through such vicissitudes.
. The Tribune grow out of the memor
able campaign of 1840 , in which Horace
Gruoloy took a very active part and
which resulted in the oloctlon to the
presidency of William Henry Harrison.
During the campaign Mr. Grcoloy
had greatly increased his reputation
as a journalist by his editorial work on
a campaign paper called the Loy Cubin ,
and on April 3 , 1841 , there appeared In
that paper the announcement of the ap
pearance on n week from that day of
"tho first number of a now morning
journal of politics , literature and gen
eral Intelligence. " It would "contain
the news by the morning's southern
mail , which is contained In no other
penny paper , " and would bo served to
city subscribers nt the low price of ono
penny per copy ; mail subscribers , four
dollars per annum. As Its name ,
Tribune , imported , It would labor to ad
vance the Interests of the poop'o ' , moral ,
social and political. As to politics , it
promised the now administration "a
frank and cordial , but manly and Inde
pendent support , judging it always by
Its acts , nnd commending those only so
far as they shall seem calculated to sub-
servo the great end of all government
the welfare of the people. " The
first number of the paper , which
appeared April 10 , 1811 , pub
lished the death of Harrison , which oc
curred six days before. Tt soon was ar
rayed against the administration of the
recreant Tyler. It was nlno soon found
necessary to raise the price to two cents.
The Tribune began with COO subscribers ,
but Iho edition of the first number was
5,000 , and It Is recorded thnt It was found
dllllcult oven to give the paper away.
At the end of the first week Mr. Greoloy
found that , his expenses had boon nearly
six times the amount of his receipts.
There was a period of struggle , not alto
gether urofltlea ? , for the Tribwx was
gaining steadily in public attention , and
nftor a time cnYillal came to It , whllo a
conspiracy concojfod by another paper
to crush it brought popular sympathy.
The subscription list and the advertis
ing patronage begun to grow rnpldly ,
and In a few iftwiShs the Income In
creased faster tluitK the expenses. That
wns a period of extraordinary energy
nnd the employment of all sorts of ex
pedients in obtaining news , for there
were no such facilities as are now at the
command of tho-proas , and the Tribune
kept pace with Mva older papers , and
sometimes led tllom. Before the end of
the first year the paper was on n safe
basis , but It was not allowed to pursue
Its way without efforts on the part of
competitors to harrnss Us progress and
nn aggressive warfare from these politi
cally opposed to It , or whoso malofac-
tlons were shown to the world by the
vigorous and unsparing pan of Mr. Grco
loy. It Is not practicable in nn article
of this kind to make oven the
briefest reference to the many
conflicts hi which the Tribune
was engaged whllo Mr. Greoloy
was in control ot It , but It very generally
came out of them victorious , with ad
vantage to its popularity and to the fame
of Its great editor.
Smno of the most distinguished jour
nalists tills country has produced assisted
Mr. Grceley In building up the 17'ribunc
Henry J. Raymond , Charles A. Dana ,
George Rlploy , Bayard Taylor , Gcorgo
William Curtis , and a number of
others of less fame , but of a
very high order of ability. After the
campaign in which Mr. Greoloy was a
Candida to for president , 1872 , ho retired
from aclivo connection with the Tribune
and the control of the paper passed Into
the hands of Mr. Whitolaw Rlcd , now
minister to Franco. Under his manage
ment the high character of the paper
has boon maintained , nnd it has boon
made a more valuable property , if not a
greater power than before.
'I'lIE EXPOSITION POET.
Lord Alfred Tennyson , pool laureate
of England , 82 years old , has been in
vited to write the opening song for the
Columbian exposition. Ho docs not
promise to accept the invitation , but the
distinction of extending Itluis boon ac
corded him. Were Tennyson American
or oven republican in his ideas ho coufd
bo forgiven for being a Britonr. But ho
Is neither. All his long llfo has
boon spent under the patronage
of royalty. A poorngo was created for
him in his old ago in order that ho
might stand upon ; Iho same social plane
as these with princely blood In tholr
veins. Ho has never been the j > oot of
the people or democratic In his tastes.
No distinguished 'benevolence or phllan-
throphy has over marked his character.
Ho has been content to live n llfo of
case , in enervating luxury , and has
scarcely been roused to greatness since
1850 , when ho published the sweet ,
sad gems of "In Momorlam. " At 40 ho
wns greatest. IloJioa never since risen
to the sublimity of "Mortc d'Arthur"
nnd "Looksloy Haiti" Much of his subse
quent effort brie been mediocre , and his
latest' ' verse § ' wou'lQ'not'rlvo ' ( a week if
written over any other name than Ten
nyson ,
There is something Incongruous about
inviting n poor ofth.o . realm of Quoou
Victoria to write a song for a
Columbian exposition. The name
Columbian Is a protest of itself.
Americans every where regret
that the distinction was offered to a for
eigner ao Ignorant of the now world , nnd
so out of sympathy with its achieve
ments. The probabilities of lifo If noth
ing else should have deterred the com
missioners from considering him as
likely to bo able to accept. This expo
sition Is a world's fair it is true , and all
nations will bo represented , but this Is no
excuse for singling out a citizen of
Great Britain for this honor. Other
nations have poffts many of whom can
sot their songs to Saxon metre.
The poet of the Columbian exposition
should have boon an American. If the
tender passages of a ripe old ago were
needed properly to voice the growth of
a century of activity. John Greonlcaf
Whlttior , our .own quaint old Quaker
poet , should have boon requested to
write the song.Vho could better
look back over the last half century of
American progress than this delight
ful representative of the American
school of poets. Then there is James
Russell Lowell , whoso verso Is heroic ,
patriotic , powerful. Ho is an American.
Oliver Wendell Holmes is also a rojiro-
sontatlvo American poet. Walt Whit
man , Joaquln Miller and BretHarto pos
sess characteristics more worthy of this
distinguished honor than Tennyson , for
they are thoroughly nnd originally our
own. Edmund Clarence Stodmau
has written poems of rare ex
cellence. Euerono Field of Chicago ,
not entirely unknown to fame aa a poet ,
the author of some most delightful bal
lads , would rlso moro pearly to the occa
sion than this frail old Englishman.
Wo may bo excusable for sending to
England for ourupajtorn dudes , because
they are indlgondds to .that cllmo , but
no ono thinks pf& exhibiting ono of
( | &
these us anij , American product.
America's world's - fair should
bo distinctly " .morlcan so far
as the United Statoa is concerned. Wo
invite other natUins to show us what
they have invent perfected and have
for sale , in coinnlorao , sclonco and art ,
hut wo invlto tholifhlso to see what wo
have accompllsh | "md wo might , with
as good reason , jproposo that all pre
miums and publlgi ona shall bo Gorman ;
all addresses. French ; all muslo Italian ,
nnd nil thontrlcalstSpanlsh , as that Eng
land shall write T o hymn which Ameri
cans will sing when the exposition be
gins.Tho
The selection of Tennyson as the poet
of the occasion might have been ex
pected if No > v York were the seat of the
fair , and Ward McAllister were master
of ceremonies , but wo had no reason to
expect Chicago to toady to Great
Britain.
improvements In the city should
bo made from the center toward the cir
cumference. To leave great banks of
earth In the heart of the business portion
tion of the city Is not only unsightly but
very bad economy. The loose earth
washes from the banks and un paved
streets down upon the asphalt and atone
pavement on our principal thorough
fares. So long as this slovenly method
continues It will bo utterly Impossible to
keep Fiirnam , Douglas , Harnoy ntul the
cross streets between Fifteenth and
Eighteenth streets clean. Cut down the
hog-back on Douglas , grade and pnvo the
cros streets west of Sixteenth , nnd
Omaha will bo Iho cleanest and most at
tractive city west of the lakes.
The success which has attended the
annual meetings of both State nnd Na
tional Teachers' associations has led to
the proposition of organising educa
tional people of the northwestern slates
into an association. In furthering the
idea n meeting la called nt LakoGonovn ,
WiH. , for July 1 , 2 , ! t and 4. The
now organization is suggested by the
teaehura of southeastern Wisconsin who
will prepare the programme of oxorclsos
and arrange the preliminaries , Issuing
bulletins from tlmo to ttmo as progress
ia made. The national association has
grown Into a somewhat unwieldy body
In which the average teachers nro par
ticipants only to the extent of composIng -
Ing nn audience. The "rank and file"
are therefore looking to organizations
representing loss extensive areas of territory -
ritory with the idea that ultimately the
national association shall bo a delegate
body to which the smaller organizations
shall elect representatives. Lake Gun-
ova , being a popular summer resort ,
whore expenses are comparatively light ,
has boon hit upon as a good point for the
It rat , mooting.
THK vacancy that has existed in the
bishopric of the Catholic diocqso of
Omaha since the death of Bishop O'Con
nor in Juno of last year , will bo tilled
today by the Installation of Bishop Scan-
noil. The now inciimbont of this Im
portant o-'closiasticnl olllco comes to Iho
larger field of labor and responsibility
fully equipped by scholarship and ox-
porlonco in ngairs to take up and prose
cute the duties which were laid down by
his lamented predecessor , and to forward
the interests and welfare of his church
within thoboundarlosof his jurisdiction.
The installation of Bishop Scannoll is an
event in which all our citizens have an
interest , and upon which not Catholics
only but the entire community are to bo
congratulated. It gives promise Of en
larged activity in the affairs of a denom
ination which exerts a very decided in-
lluenco upon the moral and social llfo of
the pcoplo.
PHOPMKTY in the vicinity of the high
school pays moro for Us school facilities
than any other section of Omaha. This
has boon the naked truth for 10 years.
School accommodations have boon pro
vided for every other section of the city.
Only in this contra ! locality has there
boon neglect. The worst of it is that so
far the present board of education has
done nothing looking toward any early
relief. People on Capitol hill ought not
to bo fot'cod to send tholr children to
Cass street school or any other down
town building.

The womau proved to bo MM. Howard \V' (
2lnk , whoso husband is now In ] all on ffio
charge of embezzling money belonging to a
client , lie being a lawyer nnd collecting
agent , /.ink had borne a good reputation
previous to this charge being brought against
him , ana the disgrace consequent upon Ills
arrest and Imprisonment so weighed upon
her mind that .sho liecamu lit , and n mi no
had to bo provided for hor. Last night she
became wildly limne and drove the nurse
out of the liouso at the point of a revolver.
An attempt was made to nulot her by neigh
bors , but she ilrcd riff Ua weapon and scared
them away. The revolver was dually taken
awav from her and a special pollcfiuan
placed on guard to deter her from
doing herself f bodily harm , The sherIff -
Iff was notified tins morning , and the
woman will probably l > o brought before
the Insanity board this afternoon. She Is
about thirty years of ago. When the police
arrived last night Mrs , Kink had all the doors
locked , and it was not until Captain Miller's
arrival that entrance was secured. Ho broke
down tlio door , and whoa ho entered found
MM..Ink on the floor behind the bed. She
had thrown the toilet articles In her room
out the window , and some- small articles of
furniture shared the ? nmo fate. Her hand
\vai covered with blood , the result of coming

On Sunday last Mrs. Zlnk became a
mother , and her paroxysms undoubtedly had
their origin from that cause , comblnen with
the ono ubovo noted. She will not be taken
before the Insanity board , as her physicians
bellovo she will bo all right In a few days.

Falls City Journal ; The legislature n'l-
joumcd slno dlo Sunday morning about : !
o'clock. What it left undone is fully equal
to what It did. Its ttmo was taken up In par
tisan rows , the bitterest of bitter parllamen-
tary Heats and unending attempts at making
political capital by the passage of ridiculous
bills , many of them of almost crlmincl parti
san character. It disgraced the state. Us
demise Is thankfully welcomed ,
Sownrd Hoportor : Uovornor B oyd , In re
fusing to sign the bill , showed that" lie bus
plenty of ucrvo , at least. Uo had been poll-
tlonod byUhousands of pcoplo , and the lead
ing newspapers of his 'party had very
strongly urged him to sign the tncasuro. In
spile of the tremendous pressure brought to
boar on him , ho did what he thought was
best ; and his courage ] Is to bo commended.
The Hoporter does not feel like condemning
him as many have done. Wo believe that
the bill was not n good thing , and that Its ef
fect upon the business of the state would not
have bcou such as Its f miners intended ; con-
oqucntly the state Is bitter off without It. But
wo think It might havu been better had Iho
governor signed the bill , to satisfy the popu
lar clamor. Wo are confldcntthul the opera
tions of the law \vould very soon have con
vinced the T > oopo ! of its defects , end they
would have been as anxious for Its repeal us
they had been for its enactment. There nro
many now who will never bo satislled , and
tlio only way to convince them would have
been by a practical trial of the law. How
ever that may be , the deed Is done , nnd the
results nro yet to bo scon. Possibly it special
session , and the passage of a ratu bill alTur.t-
ing , grain , coal , lumber , etc. , will bo satisfac
tory. Such n move vnll not 'reinstate Hoyd
In the good graces of hU party , nor raise up
the party from the low estate to which It has
fallen , but It may bencllt the business Inter
