The warehouse bill IB the opportunity
ho exchange the means of utilizing It.
Without the warehouses an exchange is
mprautlcablo and without an active con-
or for trade the warehouses will not
nako a market. We should not lose
Ight of the relation o ! the one to the
other in our enthusiasm ever the on-
ouraglng prospects before Omaha as a
great grain and provision mart. ' The
varohouso men and the dealers in pred
icts will naturally enough bccoino the
active promoters of the whole enterprise
of creating a market. It Is therefore
ntlrely reasonable that they should
wish lo direct the preliminary stops
ending to the desired end.
It i- not necessary to have a now or-
gaiiixation for the promotion of the
jrain and provision trade in Omaha , but
t is essential to interest In the subject
bo men who know what they want , howe
o cot It and when to commence opora-
ions Tlio board of trade is now or
ganized nnd consists chiefly of a name ,
ibout 85200,000 worth of property and
a secretary. There is no llfo about It.
t manages to play the ngrooablo by
iroxy to visitors and to got out annual
oports. As a force In tlio upbuilding of
ho city's Interests it has long been of no
onscqucnce. If it cannot arouse itself
rein the lethargy with which It hna so
eng been seized , then it is high tlino to
etiro from the business absolutely and
nako way for a vigorous organization.
The board of trade with its chamber
of commerce , Is the nucleus of an inipor-
ant in tituton. ! Around the valuable
iroperty and within the ample walls of
ts building the grain nnd provision
rndo of this country ought lo bo con-
iM-ed. The best men in Omaha
ay their annual duos and. ac-
cnowlodge membership of the board.
They do very llttlo moro , but
icrhaps a little prodding will awaken
hem to the fact that unless they arouse
homsolvos and do something there will
) o a now organization cro.itod hero
vhleh will swoop the old to tlio wall.
I'liiH would be unfortunate , but it is in
evitable. This city cannot wait for a
ward of trade to open its drowsy eyes.
The board has proposed to the grain
ind provision men , through Us diroc-
ors. to delegate to such of thorn as are
nembors of th i board of trade , atitlior-
ty to organl/o a grain and provision
exchange. The' proposition deserves
consideration. The old organl/ation
cannot afford to lot the now one grow
nto a rival and the proposed
low ono cannot well afford
o ignore the prestige , facilities
mil property already secured after years
of existence by tbo old. The proper
course is to combine the tntoreMs and
ililizo all the advantages already avail
able HO that tlio enterprise may start off
with every reasonable prospect of suc-
COS- ) .
Meanwhile do not forget that wo are
short of warehouses , and that the crops
will bo moving insldo of three months.
What Is done must bo done quickly.
Omaha can afford neither to hesitate
nor parley. She must solzo her oppor
tunity promptly and firmly or perhaps
mtbs it entirely.
I'llOFIT SUAlllXO .UinOAI ) .
A report recently made to the British
board of trade , and transmitted to the
state department by lion. John G. Now ,
consul general at London , presents a
complete history of profit sharing in
[ 'VancoJ ' and England. The principle was
brought into operation in the former
country about 1818 and attained some
[ lopularity in England about twenty years
later. In Franco the results have boon
substantial , a considerable number of
firms representing a great variety of
commercial enterprises having adopted
the policy in ono form or another. In
many of the establishments whore profit
sharing had boon practiced a considera
ble Increase of profit has accompanied
the development of the policy and Its
advocates contend that whore it is in
operation the money sot ando for the
benefit of labor Is not any transfer of
cash from the pockets of employers to
these of the employes. It is paid out of
a fund which owes its existence to the
profit-sharing system. This additional
profit is supposed to aviso from
iivo sources : Reduction of waste
material ; superior excellence in the work
done ; diminished expense of superin
tendence ; greater stability in the .stall
and consequential reduction of risk in
commercial enterprise ; increase of prac
tical information connected with tlio
business , the workers being stimulated
to aid the managing stalT with sugges
tions : as to Improvements and informa
tion as to now processes.
There are various plans of profit-shar
ing , but the testimony is that they all
develop it higher order of ollicioney in
the workman , produce larger profits
and bettor relations
among all con
cerned in the business , and the choice
of ono or another of them in any par
ticular cnso soonis to depend upon such
considerations as the nature of the busi
ness and the economic and intellectual
condition of the workmen to bo called
into partnership. If they are thrifty ,
saving men , the opening to them the
chance of securing shares in the firm tiy
giving them the right of purchase , the
aiding them by a division of prof
its to accumulate the neces
sary capital , are ample mo'ins
for the purposes in view. If ,
on the other hand
, the workers are pool
men living from hand to mouth , who
have not hitherto saved
any money ,
who o thoughts have never boon directed
to saving or to the occupation of a capi
talist , the prospect of gradually building
up a right to a share Is too remote anil
nebulous to produce the desired effect ol
stirring the energies of the workman ,
whllht the assurance of an additlona
sum in hand to meet the expenses o
living Is something of which the advan
tages can bo easily understood. The
report gives numerous examples of the
Hiiccett.sful working of prollt-sharing boll
in Franco and England , nnd the results
are shown to bo uniformly of a character
to commend the system. The testimony
of all who have adopted the policy is
that of unqualified approval.
According to the latest Information
ncco-ssiblo there are ii'l
- profit-sharing os-
tibllslunontaln the United States , bu
the number Is probably somewhat largot
than this. Nearly all of them pay the
bonus in cash , and so fat
as known all of them have
ound the sauio beneficial results
rotn the svstotn as are noted abroad.
The employes are moro Industrious and
nero faithful , there is greater care ex
ercised by thorn In protecting the prop
erty and interests of the employers , and
n every direction there are practical
id vantages from the system which are
ound to amply warrant the bonus that
abor receives. Although the profit-
baring principle makes slow progress ,
t is gaining ground. The company recently -
contly organized in Pennsylvania lo es-
abllsh an extensive tin plate plant ,
vhich is expected to employ several
housand men within the next two or
hreo years proposes to adopt the profit-
haring policy. It has boon demon-
tratod to bo the most olllcaclous moans
urostablishingand maintaining friendly
relations between employers tuul em-
iloyod.

rPlin nmlmi-mntif. nf nf1mttttnnii1 Itlutltll-
ions in this country are Increasing to
nngnlficont proportions. Last your the
wo principal universities , Harvard and
Yale , received upwards of 31,000,000
each , and besides these generous bequests -
quests there wore gifts to other educa
tional institutions of loss note which
iltogcthor amounted , ! „ Is estimated , tenet
not less than $10,000,000. Of this munifi
cent sum given in a single year for the
iromotion of education not less than
one-half wont into permanent funds ,
income of which is lo bo
orevor devoted to the work of higher
education , tlio remainder being expended
on improvements and in other ways.
Mover before wore bequests so numerous
and generous ns now for promoting cul
ture and advancing tlio star.dnid of edu
cation , and in the United States there
s being created more permanent funds
-lian in any other country for maintain-
ng and improving the irreat seats of
earning. In this respect the present
Melioration is planting deep and strong
'or the benefit of the generations to
'ollow.
The record is one to bo proud of , and
yet munificent as the sum was that
'ound its way into the treasuries of the
universities and colleges lust year it rep
resented but a very small fraction of tlio
ictual gain in wealth made by the Amer
ican people during that time. Ten times
the amount might have been given to
the cause of higher education without
making any strain upon tlio accumula
tions of our people for that single year.
Still the figures are gratifying as attest
ing the glowing popular interest in the
cause of education. Wo have
Lcon regarded by the world
as a wholly materialistic people ,
caring for nothing but the almighty del
lar. The estimate has boon altogether
unjust , and viewing what hns boon ac
complished in material development ,
there is nothing to regret or be ashamed
of. But having got the wealth , wo are
demonstrating that wo know how to use
it for advancing , elevating and improv
ing the intellectual , moral and social
conditions of the people , and at the rate
of progress making in this direction the
time is not distant when wo will
leave the elder nations behind
in this as wo have already done in
material development. The example.
sot by the benolnctors of our educational
institutions will bo emulated by others ,
and as tlio endowments grow in volume
the universities and colleges of the land
will extend their usefulness , as they are
oven now endeavoring' ' to do , until the
whole people of all clnsscs are enabled
to take advantage of their privileges.
Then shall America become tbo instruc
tor of the nations and the leader of the
world's thought , supreme in intellectual
influence and authority , as slio is cer
tain to become in commercial power.

China is the last country heard from
In favorable response to the invitation to
bo represented at the world's Columbian
exposition. Under all the circumstances ,
It would not have boon surprising if the
Celestial empire had declined to pai tici-
pate in the fair , by way of rebuking the
hostile policy of this country , but
Chinese statesmen are moro tolerant
and have broader views of things than
they are generally credited with ,
and it is not altogether im
probable that they uny regard
this event as an opportunity to show
this. At any rnto tlio decision of the
Chinese government , toward which the
United States hns for some years mani
fested anything but a courteous and
friendly feeling , Is deserving of appro-
ciatlvo commendation , and it is not
to bo doubted that the exhibition it will
make will bo ono of the most attractive
and interesting in the fair. The exam
ple of China will doubtless bo promptly
followed by Japan
That the exposition will bo in the
most generous sense a world's fair can
no longer bo doubted. Great Britain
has a commission , witli the prince of
Wales at its head , authorized to prepare
a grand exhibit. G-jrnmny will send
ever a great display , and Franco has
given assurances that she will do like
wise. TlioUussian government has sot
apart a liberal sum , and the merchants
and nmmifaoturorsof St. I'otordbtirgund
Moscow nro pledged for a similar amount ,
for the purpose of fending hare the
greatest exhibit ever before collected by
a single government. Other European
countries not yet hoard from are almo.st
curtain to accept tlio invitation to
bo represented in the exposition ,
for they can lnmllv alTord to bo iiusont.
Every country on this continent south
of tlio United States , from Mexico to the
Argentine. Kopublic , has boon hoard
from and Is making preparations tn send
a full exhibit of Its resources. Mexico
has appropriated $1,000,000 for the pur
pose , and will erect her own buildings ,
as will a number of the other southern
countries. All America will bo repre
sented at the oxpo.-dtion as It has never
before been represented anywhere.
The American people are war
ranted In anticipating the greatest ex
hibition the world has over seen , both
in vastncss of display nnd the number ol
novel attractions. The last 1'aris exposition -
position had tint one really notable at
traction outside of the fair Itself the
EllTol tower. There will bo at Chicago
a luimlxM' no less wonderful than that
t-iumph of engineering skill. In view
of the splendid promise for this great
enterprise , it Isjto bo hoped there will
tie no moro qual-Vols or controvorsarles
to retard the u'rojjrosa of the work to

Nothing molp" ; ( encouraging or moro
eloquent was said by President Harri
son in any ono of his 1 10 excellent
speeches than when in Omaha ho re
marked : "I have soon enough Amor-
lean lings to wrap the world around. "
It was an epigrammatic way of saying
that nothing had been so impressive in
all the long , Interesting , enthusiastic
| ournoy as the magnificent spirit of
patriotism evinced everywhere , by
ovcrybodv from Washington to Los
Angeles and Puget Sound and back to
Omaha.
In the south among the battle-scarred
veterans of the confederate army and
Lhoir children , proud of the wounds
their fathers wear , yet loyal to the pres
ent union , the beautiful banner of our
country floated from every housetop. It
was waved from the door of the log
cabin of the colored man as well ns the
great windows of the brown stone front
of the millionaire. There wore no reb
els , no republicans , no negroes , no dem
ocrats , they wore all Americans and the
cheers which greeted tlio president told
in unmislakablo tones the delightful
truth that Americans of all shades of
political opinion , of all races and of all
seotion.i nro patriots.
When tlio Pacific coast was readied
and as the presidential train pursued its
way among tlio llowersand fruits of that
favored region , on up to the great
American mediterranean sea , and back
across tlio great backbone of the conti
nent into and through the fertile plains
of Nebraska , and thence to the na
tional capital , at every station , nt every
farm house , on the lapels of the coats of
men and around the waists and shoulders
of the ladies , in the songs ol the school
children nnd the music of bands , in the
speeches of welcome and the newspaper
notes before and after tlio visit , the same
spirit of loyalty to American insti
tutions prevailed. The very atmos
phere vibrated with the swelling
patriotism of American citi/ons. No
foreign potentate ever received such a
cordial and sihcdro reception , and no
man on earth cQuld today , outside the
presidential chain , awaken nil hundredth
part of the enthusiasm that greeted the
president of the tfnitcd States.
Flags enough to wrap the earth
around and eivVy man , woman and
child proud of , the banner nnd prouder
still of the nation of which it is the
sacred cinblcnu There is nothing pessi
mistic about tliQAiruuriean ling. No man
ever looks at th6'stars and stripes to bo
depressed. It is''only on occasions of the
character just passed that wo realize
the power of that beautiful emblem of
our liberty , , otir < thopoand , our country.
It is profitable once in a while to reflect
upon the fact that Americans are tlio
most patriotic people on earth.
T11K CHILIAN HKVULUT10X.
The Chilian revolution presents some
peculiar factors for consideration and
such as may bo of considerable interest
now that the government of the United
States hns become Involved through n
point in international law. Tlio Itatn
and Ksmornldu are now in the hands of
the insurgents , and it is not entirely im
possible that the insurgent leaders desired -
sired to force the hand of the United
States Into an expression of sympathy
toward thorn , pro or con. By so doing
they may have tried this one means of
forcing the Balmacodnn government in
tlio American court of arbitration accord
ing to the treaty of 1890. In this way tlio
insurironts could present their claims
and have them at l&ist looked into as
they have asked the B.ilmacodnn gov
ernment to do.
The causes of the war scorn to bo the
actions of an oligarchy in oppressing
the poorer nnd moro ignorant of the
population. Like almost nil of the South
American republics , land Is owned in
Chili in vast estates , nnd in such a way
as to exclude the farming elapses from
acquiring any considerable amount of
property. The laws irako suffrage con
tingent upon property qualifications ,
and in this way the rural population , or
about one-half of the entire population ,
Is doubly ut the mercy of the land own
ers.
ers.At
At the ttmo when the nltrato fields
wcro given Chill by the treaty at the
close of the Peruvian war In 1882 the
army and navy wore in the con
trol of the landlords , their favor
ites being placed in command so
the lower classes could not rebel , and at
that lime almost all the learning was In
the hands of the governing faction. But
about that time public education was
brought in play , the lower classes pro
vided with oppbi jinltlos and the devel
opment of the ; iii10''i ! ' agricultural re
sources , and with British capital , tlio nl
trato fields , was , Ij gun. This gradually
drew from the w.my and navy the eli
garchical support that was rendered the
government and'replaced ' with a class of
officers and mull who were not in favor
of the rule of tho'arlstocracy , nnd upon
the first untowij4rmovo ? of t'10 ' govern
ment the military ) support was almost
ontirolj wlthdrawVi from It.
This state of uJTars ; led to the rebellion
which bus boon continually In favor of
the insurgents,0 the results of
which may bo , ( orotold. , The present
president roprosonti the moneyed In
terest , his term of olllco expires Sep
tember 18 , 1891 , so his five years of ser
vice is nearly complete , and ho desires ,
since by the constitution ho is ineligible
to re-election , to continue his power
through another elector. *
The people have protested , for It Is an
easy matter for him to succeed through
his manipulation of the electors.
The insurgents offered to submit their
claims to arbitration but the govern
ment could not permit such a thing and
now as the result of all this the govern
ment will fall.
What effect the fall of the go\ em
inent would have upon the United States
cannot nt nil bo defined ; but this is cer
tain : the Itntti matter will in no way
cause complications oven though site
were blown to the bottom of the sea.
WITHIN the next two weeks Civil En
gineer Peary of the navy will start on
Ills expedition toward the north polo.
Ho will bo accompanied by five men
who have had experience in nrctic ex
ploration nnd know the enormous dilll-
culties that will confront them , whllo
Peary himself has made one trip to the
Interior of Greenland. The proposed
exploration ts lo bo made by sledge
after tlio party has boon taken as far
north ns the whaling fleet can
go. The general impression Is
that this method of explor
ing the arctic region is ox-
troiiiely perilous , but Mr. Peary says It
is far safer than travel In Montana and
romolodistrlcsof the west , because there
is nothing rugged about the country.
There are no precipices to fall from , and
if ono stumbles ho falls upon the softest
Kind of a cushion of snow. Peary ex
pects to boat all previous records of
search for the north polo , and if ho
succeeds ho wilt win some glory , but
popular Interest , and perhaps scientific
Interest also , is not stirred now as It once
was by expeditions of tills kind. It is
pretty generally admitted that the re
sults can bo of very llttlo practical value
to the world.
MAYOR Ci'snixo has his good quali
ties and TUB BIK : never falls to com
mend him when ho does the right thing
at the right time. But why in
the name of common sense does
ho want to perpetuate the offensive
methods introduced by Frank Morrissey -
soy as garbagoma.stor in the faoo of the
pronounced public sentiment. The gar-
b.igemaslcT business has boon an out
rage from its inception. There is no
reason why a sot of leeches should bo
given official countenance to oppress and
( losioil ) all classes of people , and partic
ularly these who have little homes.
Instead of creating a monopoly in the
matter of garbage collection for
the benefit of ono man , the door
should bo thrown open for free
competition among parties who own
teams and appliances for doing this
work , and if any tax is to bo levied lot It
bo in the shape of a license fee upon gar
bage collectors , payable annually or quar
terly. In any event citi/ons should not
again bo subjected to the imposture of
the former garbagomastor.
A JouitXAMST whom all men honor ,
nnd none moro than the members of his
own profession , is Mr. George W.
Cliilds , proprietor and editor of the
Philadelphia Public Lcdf/cr. Last Tues
day was Mr. Childs' Olid birthday and
the typographical union of Philadelphia
celebrated It by a banquet. Among the
letters road on the occasion was ono of a
highly complimentary character from
Secretary Blaine , and during the day
the great philanthropist received cable
grams of congratulation from England ,
Franco and Germany and from

"Tho people of Stanford In Harlan county
complained of the H. & , M. road because the
agency of the company had been discontinued
at that place owing to the lack of business
Incident to last year's crop failure. There's
nothing to ship out of thu state from the
western part , and the only business there Is
for the ro.ids out there Is the limited
shipments of goods from the oast. At many
of the small stations there's scarcely any
thing for an agent to do , and the company ,
running these branch lines at a loss every
day , naturally try to lesson the expenses In
every way possible. When a station roaches
a certain 'point In the decrease of its business
receipts , it is discontinued , providing there
tire other stations n few miles uway
whcro the people can transact their
business. Trains stop regularly at
these discontinued agencies to accommodate
passenger mid freight business , and the
trainmen nro obliged to deliver and receive
goods and give and take receipts therefor.
It makes it Inconvenient for the people at the
station and they naturally complain and feel
that they are mistreated. 1 don't blame
them for feeling so. It's a serious matter
fern small , struggling village that is contend
ing with a rival a few miles awny , to have Its
railro.id agent taken nway , especially when
each little town depends largely on Us rail
road activity for its prestige and the value of
its property. At the same time It Is n hard
thing to require n rallroud company to main
tain an agency nt n dead loss. Ills dlfllcult
to give satisfaction In tlio adjustment of
these local questions. The whole western
part of the state has dona business nt n loss
for the last year. Tlio farmers have nothing
lo ship ami consequently the railroads
have littlu to do , mid with each line
of business Ic Is a question not of
how much money ttioy can make ,
but how llttlfl they can loose. The condition
Is mutual and each must boar his sliaro of
the general loss. Thu prospect now , however -
over , for the future Is excellent , The crop >
outlook Is trie llnast 1 over saw. Tlio buslf
ness men at Stamford nro n unorgotlu lot ol /

"Tho grand Jury is a pretty good sized bodv

Jury to brine in an indictment or oven to in

decide not to do so. About the only thing a

A lugubrious initiation took place in IT. S.
Grant post , Grand Army of the Kopubllo ,
last Thursday night.
There were three candidates for initiation ,
or mustering in as the old veterans call It.
These candidates were Dr. Put her , Dr.
Sprnguo and Dr. Swurtzlamlcr.
In order that the initiation might bo in
kccplnc with the occupation of the candidates
it was rendered ns appropriate as the tituid
would nllow by Having the guard , under
which the candidates wore admitted , coin
posed of three doctors , immoly , Dr. Van
Glescn , Dr Stone and Dr. Par-sons. To still
further carry out the suggestion tlio rearguard
guard w.is formed of Undertaker Hurkt't nnd
Life Insurance Agent ( Jowglll. Some dlsap
pointmont was caused by the failure of two
of the roar guard to appear , these absentees
being Druggist ICInsler and Tombstone
Dealer Kcoiian ,
The detail was criticised somewhat nflor
the ceremony was ever , It being the general
opinion that the life insurance agent should
have been in front as ho would have stood
very llttlo show after the doctors , undertak
ers and tombstone man got through with the
victims.
