TIIK. Univorsalist clergyman in Hoston
who resigned after ! ! ! years' sorvlco ns
pastor of ono church , was true to his
faith and denominational indifference as
to the horcaflor when he informed a re
porter that ho had no plans for tbo
future. U is stated , however , that ho Is
to become the editor of the Evening
lyavclcr , which is punishment enough
finan orthodox sin nor.
TliK ministerial brethren of the Evan
gelical ohurohos in Lincoln have formed
a sort of theological trust which freezes
out the clergymen of the Catholic , Uni
tarian , Unlversallst and non-Christian
denominations. This narrow notion
caused the withdrawal of Uov. Lewis
Gregory , so many years pastor of a Con
gregational church at the capital and

of tolerance the action of the two clergy
men will bo commended and that of the

Some oxnggoratid reports of the
oftuct of the refusal of Jnilgo Ilaniar to
confirm n , mortgage sale In court at
Hrokon How having I.OPII sent through
out the cast it scums proper to explain
more at length the object nnd olloct of
the judge's notion. As Is well known
mortgage sharks arc on the lookout for
snap judgments which shall glvo them
valuable properties at trilling cost. All
over the agricultural ( sections of the
fitntcs where crops have failed the
/armors / huvo boon tumble to pay either
Interest or principal. It is not because
they uro dishonest , but hccmiso they are
unfortunate. H.v the tf.'rms of most of
the mortgages held by eastern loan com
panies It Is provided that a default of in-
.orcst or taxes shall bo ground for action
or foreclosure. Sol/.ing upon the con-
illtlons under which the mortgagors are
aboring , n nuinlmr of relentless money
sharks have nought to obtain possession
of farms whoso owners have failed to
noot their interest , and taxes. In other
cases the principal is over duo and fore
closure Is begun to enforce Its payment.
The effect of foreclosure at this par-
icular time is to wipe out the equity
ivhicli mortgagors would have in ordi
nary years. There are no local buyers
ind owing to drouth and adversity there
ire no foreign pureuaseos on the ground ,
.and to all intent * and purposed is
worthless solely because of the condi
tions which huvo forced mortgagors into
ilofuult. A single good crop with fair
prices will ro-stiblish ; values. Tbo
and is the hope of the farmer for sus-
onnnco and for future prosperity. To
take it away leaves him without the
ncuiis of supporting his family and ro-
souping hfmsclf for past losses.
The case which gave rise to .ludgo
limner's vigorous and manly protest was
a llagrant misuse of the court machinery
ind a relentless attempt to obtain pos
session of the land at about , ono-llfth of
iln true value. The farm contained 100
: icros , all tillable and largely under iiul-
tlvalion. The land and improvements
were really worth SU.OOO. It was ap
praised tit SliOO and bid in at the sale for
S100. .Iho judge was unwilling to have
bis court used for obtaining title to a
good tract of land at only a fraction of
its worth. His sense of honor and his
judicial integrity revolted at Mich a
bare faced fraud. There were several
other foreclosures of the same character
and he simply notified the land sharks
that ho would bo no party to such dis
reputable deals.
Loan agencies and capitalists who advance -
vance momu' on land for the Interest
they are to receive , and not with the in
tent to secure title by fraud and sharp
practice , have nothing to fear from Ne
braska courts. Foreclosures .mado in
good faith , and according to the spirit
ns well as the letter of the law , will not
bo interfered with. Tno- men who are
assisting western farmers to develop
their property will thank the judge for
his action , for it protects honest land
owners and maintains the value of the
securities already hold , because it pre
vents absurd under valuations.
AN AGK OF
Cnshior Hill of the Ninth National
bunk of Now York died nnd was followed
to his grave with sincere sorrow by hun
dreds , who , throughout a long business
career had respected and trusted him.
His associates in business were surprised
to discover that through till those years
ho had been a methodical , relentless and
conscienceless hypocrite nnd thief. They
paid $ -100,000 for the information , and
now bis wife Is sacrificing her home , life
insurance and all personal properly In
an attempt to remove , so far as practica
ble , the disgrace which attaches to his
name.
Hanker Koim of Chicago was a promi
nent temperance worker , a leader of
moral reforms and u man whoso personal
character was apparently above re
proach. The stricken depositors who
trusted him have long since reached
the conclusion that ho stole the livery
of honvon in which to servo the devil.
"Rarnoy" Donnelly of Kansas City
had made his name a synonym of good
faith in years of strict attention to busi
ness. His countrymen would have as
saulted any man who should cast an
aspersion upon his character , yet ho
deliberately and heartlessly cheated the
poor people who made him the trustee
of their savings , the earnings of toil and
the accumulations of personal sacrlllcos.
Two Germans in Louisville conducted
the business of a great bank , for a
generation Theodore Schwartz had boon
occupying the front seat of Gorman con
fidence nnd esteem , but ho wont to jail
for faithlessly appropriating to his own
use the money of those who hello vod
Implicitly in his honesty , capacity and
solvency.
Public olllclals all over the union have
wasted and stolen the funds of the pee
ple. Archer , nates and Woodruff are
comparatively recent examples of these
abuses of public confidence. Their
thefts and violation of oaths of ofllco are
bad enough , but the villain who delib
erately accepts for wife keeping Iho
savings of poor people , the patrimony
of widows and orphans and the cash
which lies between business men nnd
financial ruin , to provo false to that
trust Is guilty of n felony which
involves a moral turpitude for which
law provides no adequate penalty.
Why are these examples so common ?
Why are men dishonest ? Are they
more dishonest than formerly ?
ThohO three questions Involve too
much to bo fully discussed In nn ed
itorial article , but the answer to the
first is that men in this ago are too
anxious to become suddenly rich. It
Is an ago of corners , squeezes ,
gambling and speculation. The rapid
ity and extensive development
of the material resources of our
country , the rush of people of all climes ,
the opportunities for speedily acquiring
wealth have permeated our society with
the can leer of money-getting. There is
too much truth in the Italian charge
that the American god Is gold , and wo
worship at the shrlno of mammon. Out
of thcso conditions dishonesty takes root
nnd grows , feeding upon the opportuni
ties which speculation offers for cover
ing cash deficits. Men do not deliberately
steal EO much ns they misappropriate ,
with the expectation of replacing funds
put to improper use from results of subse
quent gambling. It is an easy step
mm the violation of a trust to actual
-heft and It Is frequently taken. Men
nro moro avaricious , moro ambitious for
wonlth , more Indifferent ns to the rights
of others which stand In the way of lm-
tionso pro'lts ' and moro ilislionjU than '
they were fifty years ngo. It is the j
unhappy result of conditions for which \
hey are not responsible. This is no I
excuse for Individual misconduct and
ilocs not relieve a thief from guilt , but
t will take many years to correct the
evils which circumstances beyond Indi
vidual control have occasioned.

Mr. Robert P. Porter , superintendent
of the national census , who Is now on a
tour of inspection over the region west
of the Mississippi , was warmly wel
comed in this city yesterday. Twelve
years ngo when Mr. Porter visited
Omaha first , this city had less than
80,000 population. Ho has now had
visible evidence of the marvelous growth
of Omaha nnd his tour through Nebraska
nnd the region beyond cannot fall to Im
press him with the fact that the star of
omplro lies west of the Missouri.
Superintendent Porter is a rare execu
tive olllcor and nn incomparable statis
tician. Ho has performed the iinmotu-o
nnd dllllcull task sot before him by law
with conspicuous ability. The vastness
of the scope of Inquiries can only bo ap
preciated by those who have been Inti
mately associated with the details of col
lecting and compiling statistics. They
embrace abqut every subject upon which
figures can throw light. They involve
the painstaking labor of thousands of
clerks and hundreds of special agents
who have gnrnorcd in every field of In
dustry and enterprise und thoroughly
explored the domain of sociology in all its
phases.
This great task Superintendent Porter -
tor hns placed upon the shoulders of a
man thoroughly equipped by previous
training as a statistician and physically
capable of the most brain and body tax
ing exertion. TIIK BEK takes pleasure
in acknowledging the obligations under
which Omaha and the state of Nebraska
have been placed by the census bureau
in general and Superintendent Porter
in particular. Ho is a thoroughly west
ern man nnd his researches into the re
sources of our section cannot fail to fur
ther stimulate their development.
nir. xtcAitAOUA CAXAL.
The enterprise , which has received
the hearty endorsement of President
Harrison in several of his addresses ,
appears to bo making very satisfactory
progress. Prom the account of n corre
spondent who accompanied Mr. Warner
Miller , president of the canal company ,
to Nicaragua , it is learned that the
canal nas boon excavated for 1 , 00 feet
inland from the mouth , and for tiut | dis
tance bos 200 fcot of water. Ono
enormous breakwater at the en
trance has been constructed and an
other is in process of construction ,
which , when completed , will give a
capacious harbor at the mouth of the
canal The opening through the for
ests of the low lands has been completed
for a distance of 11 miles. The corre
spondent states that the whole work is
being pushed with great energy and
euro , and while the work is one of great
magnitude there are no engineering dif
ficulties in the way of its rapid and easy
execution. A railroad is under con
struction parallel to the canal , and is
already in operation for a dis
tance of nine miles. Dotfbtlcss Presi
dent Harrison does not exaggerate the
importance of this enterprise in its
relations to the commercial interests of
the Mississippi valley and the Pacific
states. There is every reason to expect
that the canal will bo of very material
advantage to these sections of the
country , and the service it will render
to commerce will bo much moro exten
sive than this. It is to be hoped that
nothing will occur to check the pro
gress of the work and that it can bo
carried to completion within the
limo specified by the engineers. The
fact that it isbeing vigorously pushed
forward shows that congress made no
mistake in not making the govormont
responsible for the bonds of the com
pany , which In effect it would have boon
if the proposition to guarantee the in
terest had prevailed. As an enterprise
depending for success wholly upon pri
vnto capital , it will doubtless bo com
pleted sooner than otherwise , will bo
constructed with greater care and
economy , and will bo managed moro ju
diciously and prudently.
SHOUT TKltMA
There has recently boon a disastrous
fatality among the "short term invest
ment companies" in Iho east , and thou-
nf nnnnln wlm onulil Illv nfTni'il if
have lost tholr savings through thoseor-
ganizntions. Several of the companies
have failed in Massachusetts within a
few weeks , having largo liabilities and
very small assets , and of course those
who entrusted tholr money to them , at
tracted by promises of returns which a
little Intelligent calculation would
have shown to bo impossible , will
got nothing , and it need hard
ly IMJ paid that the great
majority of these losers belong to the
wage'class. An examination of the
books of some of those concerns showed
liabilities to six and eight tines the
amount of cash capital. In every case
Investigation has disclosed fraud and de
ception of the most flagrant kind.
It Is estimated that in Massachusetts
over $800,000 hns boon put into thcuo
companies by the laboring classes of the
state during the past year. Many people
plo , It is said , have drawn out
their entire savings from the local
savings banks and have dumped thorn
Into tlioso companies. ' Others have
boon compelled to borrow largely In
order to keep up the Installments on
their "bonds,1' The Impending ruin of
so many of those concerns will therefore
moan not only a severe loss , but actual
destitution to many unfortunates who
have boon entrapped by them. These
institutions have also Infested Pennsyl
vania , particularly Philadelphia , where
the authorities have recently been ag
gressively pursuing them with the effect
of forcing a number of thorn to suspend
operations before they had an oppor
tunity to do ns much harm as wua done
by thoao in MnssaohusoUs.
Concerns of this character are very
numerous i throughout the country , and
whan i driven frtjiijono place the unscru
pulous ] advonttirors go clsewhero in
search of dupes. They thrive upon the
credulity c nml nJTnrlco of people who are
easily porstuidotl with the promise of a
great | deal for tv very little. Such per
sons t really doscrvb very little sympathy ,
but 1 none the les it is a reproach to the
country that sucfr Institutions can anywhere -
where obtain niiljlorily to put in opora-
lion such a ( ( faud , that the laws
of any states ardpo loose as to enable
all of these companies t6 obtain a charter -
tor , There Is a lesson in the cur
rent experience with these concerns in
the east which it will bo well for
people everywhere to bo acquainted
with. The simple moral Is , entrust your
savings only to financial Institutions of
substantial character nnd established
reputation , which promise no moro than
Is practicable from a careful und hon
estly conducted business.
TU 'X AND
It has been said by some ono who pre
ferred mini to city life Unit "God made
the country and mail miulo the town. "
Tbo tendency of modern life Is toward
the latter. This is particularly so in Iho
United Stntes , as the last census abund
antly shows. The relatively largo in
crease in Iho populations of Iho cities
bears testimony to the constant draft
they are making upon the young men of
the country. The rural-born youth
early conceives a desire to try his for
tune in the city and to mlnglo In its
gaiety nnd its eager , restless , pushing
existence. Ho hears or reads of its
merry life , Its sports and pageantry , Its
attractions and allurements , and while
ho albo learns something of its poverty
and misery and crime , in the Innocence
of his nature ho looks only upon the
bright side of the picture and confidently
fancies that ho would never bo in danger
of having any of those sad and bitter
experiences which come to so many in
the great towns. Ho can see no reason
why , being Industrious and willing to
work , bo should not find It easy to secure
the menus of subsistence , for ho can
not understand that there is
n limit to the demand for workers. But
in any event ho bus faith in himself ,
in his lexicon there is no such word as
fail , and wanting a larger field for the
exorcise of his ambition and tbo grati
fication of his spirits , ho exchanges the
quiet and monotony of the farm for Iho
bustle and variety of city life. Not in
all cases does this provo to bo a mistake.
Thousands of meVwho have had success
ful and brilliant careers in business , in
politics , and in ' 'the ' professions , came
from the farm. Superior ability and en
ergy will find their opportunity in the
cities. But fpty every great success
there are hunuYods of failures , and
thousands of yo inijj men who annually
arift from the ppuntry to the cities
would bo huppior and.bolter . off if they
had remained v'in" their rural homes.
They gain somd Qx'porlonco of the world
*
not otherwise to bo obtained , but in
very many cajos it is ' most dearly paid
for. O ( . .
It appears from the last report of the
Canadian minister -ngrioul turo that a
similar tendency of population to
drift to the cities prevails in the Dom
inion , nnd that official makes the matter
the text for ii comparison between farm
and town life. Ho urges that not only
is life on the farm healthier and hap
pier ; but that the wealth of agricultural
districts is moro equally divided , and amore
moro general state of comfort , manhood
and independence obtains in them than
in the cities. Ho says that while 90 per
cent of the young men who loiive the
country for Iho towns , without other
capital than physical and mental health
and strength , can have no reasonable
expectation or chnnco of becoming mer
chants or manufacturers , 00 per cent
of those who go to work early at farm
ing , with the desire to become owners or
tenants of farms , can realize their wish
by the ordinary exercise of the virtues
of sobriety , industry and thrift. But
despite all warnings and arguments , wo
shall doubtless continue to sue the
young men of the country mov
ing Into the towns as numerous
ly as they have done in the
past , some to their own advantage and
the benefit of the communities they
enter , but the larger number repeating
the hard experiences of those who have. .
gene buforo. The tendency is grounded
In human nature , in the desire of men to
enlarge their range of observation , to
seek broader fields of action , to put their
capacities to the test of severer competi
tion , to gratify a longing for tlioso ox-
porloncos which make up the spice of
life , and nothing will affect it loss po
tent than experiment with the sten
realities.

No bettor argument1 could bo adducoil
against the policy that has boon per
sistently urged of appropriating monoj
from the national treasury for promot
ing the public school system in the (
states than is supplied by the statistics
showing the grolvj i of the public school
in the south. .During . the years whoi
the educational UfH was under dls3iissloi
In congress the n iyocatos of that IUOAS
uro continually Insisted that populir cd
ucation was malcitij , ' very little progros. .
In the south gqftorally , and in portions
tions of it nonoitit' all. Such facts in
were accosblbl { > , ' 'refuted ' these state
nionts , but tlicyit lacked the official
authority of a national census to glvo
them credit. T u country Is now get
ting the facts w.th | this authority and
they show a muahi better statement of
affairs than djnV supposed to , exist.
They show thati'th'o percentage of train
in enrollment icry generally iir Iho
southern states has been largely In excess -
cess of the percentage of gain in popula
tion and that contrary to the commonly
prevailing opinion the colored children
are sharing generously In the progros *
The last census bulletin gives much
Interesting information us to the state
of public education in bovoral of the
southern states where It has boon sup i-
posed to bu most backward. Mississippi
is ono of tlio.se states , and thu facts show
that while during the last doc ml o the
gain In population was but H per cent ,
the school enrollment giiinod nearly -18
percent. A still stronger showing is
made by Arkansas , which gained In pop
ulation nearly 41 per cent and In the
public school enrollment 100 per
cent. Still moro notable tins Dcon
Iho educational progress In Tcxn ? ,
where the gain for the decade was 1H3
pot cent In school enrollment nnd n little
tlo loss than -IJ per cent In population.
In Mississippi the colored enrollment
exceeds the white , the figures being re
spectively In round numbers lO.'l.OOO and
lo'.OOO. In Arkansas the number of
whites enrolled Is 10.1,000 and the num
ber of colored 60,000. In Toxtw the dis
parity Is greater , the number of colored
pupils enrolled being 118,000 , out of a
total enrollment of 110,000. In the three
slates there are n little over sixteen
thousand white teachers and about
seven thousand colored teachers.
These figures will compare very favor
ably with those of some of Iho northern
states , nnd while it may be true that the
public school system generally In the
south Is not so broad and comprehensive
in its scope nor so thorough in its
methods IIH that in the north , It cannot
bo doubted that in duo tlmo It will at
tain an equally high standard. The progress -
gross made during the past decade
demonstrates a greatly Improved public
sentiment in favor of popular education ,
and there is no danger that there will bo
a reaction , or that this sentiment will
not continue to grow , probably moro
rapidly than It has yet done. There is
every reason to expect that the advance
of popular education in the south will
icooi ) pace with the progress of that sec
tion in material dovolopcmont.
IT is currently reported that some
very eminent legal authorities have
reached the conclusion that Lieutenant
Governor Majors still has n right to Intervene -
tervono and demand that the vacancy
caused by the ousting of Governor Boyd
Iw filled by himself. In other words it
is assorted that Lieutenant Governor
Majors may demand through the supreme
premo court Hint Thayer shall glvo way
to him ns the proper constitutional suc
cessor to fill the vacancy caused by the
ousting of Boyd. Such a course upon
the part of the lieutenant gov
ernor , oven if ho had the assurance
of the supreme court reversing itself on
the gubernatorial succession , would bo a
grave political blunder. It would only
complicate our state affairs , make the
state appear in u condition of political
anarchy worse than over reigned in
South Carolina or Louisiana and place
the republican party in Nebraska
beyond resurrection. '
A PAUTV of Louisiana capitalists are
taking steps toward establishing a largo
sugar refinery in Kansas City. Omaha
might investigate the subject to ad
vantage. This city is the best distrib
uting centre for an industry of this character -
actor in the west. Louisiana and all
cano sugar must bo refined before going
into the market All that is sold In
Omaha for shipment mint boar the burden -
don of the transportation from the pluco
where grown , whether Louisiana or
Cuba , to the eastern refineries , and the
cost of rcshipmont from the refineries.
The establishment hero of a refinery
would avoid a part of the cost of trans

Hied objections to the demand of Burr's attorneys
