IT is a little surprising and qutto sug

Canadians who have come to the United

thought of suggests how few are the op-
portunltles and attractions of the Do

United States , and explains why there is
so large an element of the people there

exodus from Canada to this country , and
the loss Is not made up by European
immigration , which , while considerable ,
does not remain thoro. There are hun
dreds of thousands of Canadians in the

ivny Inducement the government would
offer would draw any considerable
number of them back. They remain

The consensus of intelligent opinion Is
that Omaha can be made a moit Impor
tant grain m.irkot , mil in order to at
tain this it is the judgment of many
that a readjustment of local and through
rates on grain .vllt bo tn-cossary. It l
admitted that this city now enjoys as
favorable rates as almost any oilier
western point , and In some rcspocU lias
an advantage over any , but still some
concessions arc noeotH.u'y on the part of
the railroads In order to enable Omaha
to bopomo the grain market she should
bo by virtue of her position in the heart
of a great grain country.
Undoubtedly there are dllHcultios In
the way that may not bo easily over
come. Tito sum of the local rates east
and west of this dty is greater than the
through rate , and the question is
whether It is possible to secure local
rates which would bo as low as the
through rates , In the opinion of a gen-
tloi'ian largely intf-ostod in making
Omaha an extensive grain market , this
cannot bo done , for the reason that 11 a
lower- local rule through low.i were
made the law would compel
the railroads to make a proportionately
tionately lower rate ft'om all points on
their line , which the roads claim they
cannot afford to do. This gentleman did
not think that the existing conditions
are PO unfavorable to Omaha as some
suppose thorn to be. for the reason that
grain may bo brought to this city on a
through billing from an interior point tea
a point on tlio seaboard , and inspected
and sold hero and reshipped on the same
billing to the point named therein.
Very little grain is actually consumed
in Omaha and it is therefore nec
essary to reshit ) it .to some
other point , so Unit this method
of through billing would give Omaha
the advantage of a rate lower than the
sum of the local ratos. Grain is now
handled in this way by the Union Pa
cific , and it believed other roads will
adopt the systoiii whenever the business
demands it. An ollicial of ono of Ihoto
roads rccolttly said in reference to the
matter : " [ f elevators are built in Omaha ,
and if Nebraska grain men wish to store
their grain here , I hnvo no doubt that
tho.B. & M. will bo found ro-.uly to
make any reasonable concessions. They
allow live stock to bo shipped
to the Omaha market and then
reshipped to Chicago at the through
rate , and they would probably allow the
same thing to bo done with grain. They
are not likely , however , to do anything
of the kind before there is a grain mar
ket established , or until their shippers
want to come to Onnha. "
Jt would seem that the first tiling to
lo ) done is to establish a grain urirket ,
and it. is the judgment of most local
dealers Unit when this is done there will
bo litllo dilllculty in inducing
the railroads to make reasonable
concessions. Omaha now enjoys
one valuable advantage so far as grain
shipments to southern markets are concerned -
corned , accruing mainly from the live
cent differential in favor of St , Louis
against Chicago , and there is reason to
believe that this city will not bo do.iioci
other fair concessions when theio is a
demand to warrant them. At any rate ,
this seems to bo the general opinion
among these most interested in making
Omaha a leading western grain market.

There is abundant evidence of uncom

From the Missouri river to the back
bone of the Sierras , and from Manitoba
to the gulf , the irresistible forces which
in a decade builded live new states and
added hundreds of millions to the na
tion's wealth are energetically at work.
A variety of condition : ) combine to
make the outlook for 1891 superior to
any preceding yoir. : From an agricul
tural point of view the prospect for an
abundant harvest was never bet

semi-arid sections of the Uakotas. Ne
braska and Kansas , the people , aroused
by the disaster of last year , are vigor
ously providing against a recurrence of
the drouth. Hundreds of miles of irri
gation ditches and canals are under way
and projected , and their completion insures -
suros a sullicioney of moisture to protect
crops from the periodical hot winds of
the southwest.

The growth in-population has created

It has been truly said that our public
schools are "tho nurseries of patriot-
Ism. " Exerting an Inlluence co-on.ual
with the homo , their power In shaping
the future manhood and womanhood of
America is immoasurable. The charac
ter. ability and st-ibility of future citi
zenship , and the progress and public
spirit of the community tire mirrored In
the schools , Every act exhibiting the
children's /.onl and enthusiasm in hon
oring the memories of liberty's heroes is
inspiring and deserves pralso and en
couragement.
The Decoration day exorcises in the
public schools was an object lesson in
patriotism. The addresses of promi
nent citizens , the stirring national songs
and the interest and enthusiasm of the
children all breathed an ennobling love
of country and veneration for the bravo
hosts whoso lives were given on the
altar of freedom. The uiifurllng of the
national colors gave additional signifi
cance to the exorcises and indoliby im
pressed the occasion on the minds of the
young.
The largo attendance of parents was a
notable feature of the celebration. They
vied with the teachers in giving en
couragement to the patriotic impulses
of the children. Tli'oy imbibed Iho
exuberance of the young , and forgetting
for the time bo'ng the cares and re
sponsibilities of life , wandered back in
spirit to school days , and became active
factors in the inspiring exorcises.
The interest exhibited by parents on
this occasion as well as in the
advancement of the schools can
not bo too highly commended.
The harmonious commingling of
parents and toaohors , the two great
forces responsible for the welfare of the
rising generation , was an admirable il
lustration of that growing unity of pur
pose so essential to the complete success
of the public school system. Its benefits
are threefold. Children derive courage
and confidence and are spurred in their
work by the presence of father and
mother. Teachers are encouraged by
the mutuality of interest exhibited by
parents , and the latter secure an insight
into the progress of pupils whoso wel
fare is over uppermost in their minds.
The observance by the schools of
Memorial day and the anniversaries of
the fathers of the republic , the com
memoration of the deeds and works of
eminent American eiti/.ons in peace or
war , in art , science or literature , are far
more effective ana impressive than ordi
nary recitals of history. Study and ro-
soaroh are stimulated , patriotism festered -
tored , and in addition the interest of
parents enlisted. In this as in all ether
branches of progressive education the
schools of Omaha are in the front rank.
They truly rourosont the aggressive
that tna'.lo the tlm
forces have city com
mercial mid industrial cantor of the west.
It is no exaggeration to say that the ro-
snlts attained provo th'it in .discipline ,
diligence and dopn-tmont of pupils , en
thusiasm of teachers , and the cordial
support and assistance given of parents ,
the schools of Omaha challenge compari
son with these of f.ir elder communities.

The progress of organizjd charity in
the United SUtos has been very marked
within the last few years. The move
ment for charity organization in this
country is only 11 years old , having
originated in BulYalo in 1877. In that
year , according to a statement made at
the recent conference of charities and
correction , there was disbursed in out
door relief in Buffalo moro than 3100-
01)0 ) , while now the annual disbursement
is loss than 8o,000 ( ) , with a population 75
per cent larger than whan the system of
organized charity was instituted thoro.
This is pracllcil testimony in favor of
the system of the mo-it convincing char-
actor.
The objects of organized charity are
investigation , registration , and friendly
visitation. To wngo war successfully ,
said the principal report , against pov
erty , vice and crime , there must bo
unity of action not only among charit
able socitios , but witli public ollicial re
lief , and the ono should supplement the
othor. There are now organized in the
country eighty-two charitable sociotlos
and the reports submitted to the confer
ence from throe-fourths of these show
generally very satisfactory results. A
want widely felt is an ade
quate supply of friendly visitors , a most
important part of the system of organ
ized charity. The recognition of charity
organization by congress was ono of the
hopeful developments of the year , and
its application at the seat of government
Is expected to furnish gratifying evi
dence of the value of the systom. This
subject received very thorough discus
sion In the conference , and among ether
things said was the declaration that
much of the charity of today ; as com
monly distributed by society and
the state , only servos to lighten
the just burdens of the em
ployer and omployo , and serves but to
postpone the day of amicable adjust
ment between capital and labor. Such
charity , said one of the speakers , is
irritating In the extreme to the receiver
and servos as a safoty-valvo to relieve
the high pressure that is upon the heart
and conscience of the capitalists. The
only charity that Is proper , it was urged ,
Is that which develops true character in
both giver and receiver , and It cannot
be safely administered among aggrega
tions of people to the Individual without
n very comprehensive system of organ
ism that treats men individually with
reference to their health , physical con
dition , capability to render service and
willingness tp perform it. This is a
phase of the subjeot that is worthy of
moro attention than it has received.
Thoi'vilsof llUulvUi-d benevolence lire

which It is gratifying to know Is making
steady progros .

It Is customary for croakers and en
vious people tojjocry and belittle every
now discovery b/ / the precious metals in
the wost. The ; .local oxcltomont and
stampedes which Invariably follow anew
now find are sot ( fowu ad the work of
speculators nnd' dvonturors. Such as-
svrtions have tliolr source in ignorance
or malice.
The now gold camps in Wyoming now
attracting general attention have as
substantial n basis as any mineral dis
trict opened in the wost. The thorough
and exhaustive Investigation made by a
staff correspondent of Tliu Bun places
the Gold Hill district high in the list
of productive mineral camps. The
sturdy prospectors who have practically
unlocked a now door to the treasures of
the mountains are not of the booming
class. Inheriting in full measure
the indomitable pluck and perse
verance of the pioneers , they have
already demonstrated the richness of
the camp. They know a good thing
when they see it and are not hawking
their claims about for purchasers. Asa
matter of fact claim owners try to sup
press the truth in order to avoid the in-
ovitablu inrush.
But there is iiinplo scope and remun
eration for energy and capital , not only
in the vicinity of Gold Hill , but through
out the state. The marvelous resources
of Wyoming have repeatedly boon described -
scribed in these columns. Time and in
vestigation not only confirm what has
boon said , but , as the queen of Shoba , re
marked of Solomon's glories , "tho half
has not boon told. "
With an area larger than the Now
England states , Wyoming possesses en
and under the surface all the essentials
to rear a powerful industrial common
wealth. In area it is the eighth state
in the union. Sixteen million lores are
susceptible of cultivation and irrigation ,
yet leaving a vast domain for stock rais
ing. Its vast coal measures surpass those
of Pennsylvania , and produce at this
time , from an insignificant portion of
the total area , -1,000,000 tons annually.
Nor is the Keystone state to bo compared
to Wyoming in extent of oil territory or
quality of the fluid. The entire produc
tive oil area of Pennsylvania is olllclally
given as forty-throe square milos. Par
tial surveys show 11 vastly larger oil
bearing field -in Wyoming , and tests of
its quality by eminent exports provo its
superiority both as tin illuminator and
lubricant. * * .
In addition to the precious tuotals
now attracting" merited share of atten
tion , and the great coal and oil inter
ests , the mountains afford an inexhaust
ible supply of building material , from
marble , granite and sandstone to iron
ore and timber , , with enough mineral
paint to coat tjio continent , and salt ,
soda , sulphur , gypsum , bismuth , graph
ite , asbestos 'and lire clay in great
abundance. ' 7,1 ;
Could a moro inviting field for capital
and energy bo found ? The treasures of
Gold Hill tempt the prospector and
minor. The whole state affords un
equalled inducements to enterprise iu
all branches of industrial activity. With
the raw material id such lavish abund
ance , with the encouragement which
statehood insures , Wyoming is destined
to become at no distant period the pro
ductive pivot of the western ompiro.

The department of agriculture at
Washington has issued u special bulletin
in regard to experiments with sugar
boots in 1800 , from which it appears that
Nebraska takes the lead in the quality
of boots grown. Analyses of boots for
warded to the dopartmontgrown in Min
nesota , Indiana , Iowa , North Dakota ,
Maryland , Colorado , Wyoming , Illi
nois , Massachusetts , Wisconsin. Michi
gan , Kansas , South Dakota , California ,
Washington and Virginia were tested.
Among those showing 18 per cent of
sugar Nebraska contributed l.'l samples ,
while Marylandtho next highosthud but

cent Nebraska headed the list wltli ! ! ( >
samples , and the next highest was Min
nesota with but 15. California , which
was the initial state in American boot
sugar cultivation , presented but two
samples containing so high a percentage
of sugar in the juicu.
Another gratifying fact in con
nection with the investigation is
that the government ohoso the
varieties grown at Grand Island
under the supervision of it. T. Oxnard
with which to make the series of ox-
porimonts. A government chemist was
stationed at Grand Island to sample the
boots brought In and ho made something
like ; ! ,000 analyses. His conclusion is
stated in the following language in the
ollicial bulletin : "Tho remarkable high
percentage of sucrose shown in the juice
Is an evidence pf , the fact that the soil
and climate ofNebraska are favorable
to the productionof a boot rich in crys-
talllzablo sugar ! ' | .
Attention Is called to the unfavorable
conditions profiling at the time these
experiments wore made , and it is suggested
'
gested that th'q small sizes of the boots
sampled , duo to' ' the dry weather , may
have contributed , to a concentration of
the juices whlih in a normal growth
would bo loss rich. The chemist ib con
vinced , however , , that boots which yield
an average of , l-lJoi' | ) cent of sugar are
profitable amLadvisos farmers that a

The oxpurimoiitH thus fur have not
proved that all sections of the union are
suited to sugar-beet culture , but enough
has boon developed to show that Ne
braska will take the load in the indus
try. Culture stations are bolng estab

subject for Nebraska at Sohuylor. The

THOMAS Is admittedly the
foremost orchestral loader in this coun
try , and it may bo doubted whether ho
has u superior in Europe. For moro
tlitiu a score of joura ho has boon
a great and successful work In I he OUURO
of higher musical culture In the United
States , and his nanio 1ms become a syno
nym for the p.trost and best attainment
in his art. Profoundly devoted to his
work , ambitious to aclilovo the ino.st
elevated standards , and thoroughly
conscientious , Theodore Thomas has
done moro for music In America
than any ether man , and ho therefore
has the strongest possible claim to the
favor and support of the American pub
lic. How well this is appreciated is
shown in the fiu-t that ho and his superb
orchestra have boon engaged to make
Chicago their homo for several years ,
wltu an ample financial gaaratitoo , and
the distinguished loader him boon ap
pointed to direct the chief imulctil
events in connection with the Columbian
exposition. The celebrated Thomas or
chestra , which the best critical judgment
haspronouncod unequalled in excellence
on this continent , will bo in Omaha this
week , and every lover of music in its
highest form and purest execution
should hear this great organization. It
has boon suggested that the schools bo
dismissed Wednesday afternoon in order
to enable such of the children as may
desire to hoar the orchestra to attend
the matinee on that day , when they can
do so at a reduced price , and the idea is
commendable. To all of the children
who would attend It would bo a memor
able and prolitable experience. There
is already assurance that Theodore
ThoniHti and his splendid orchestra will
receive cordial and generous greeting In
Omaha.
TUB annual commencements of col
leges and high schools are now in pro-
gross. The profound essays of the
sweet girl graduate , and the ponderous
orations of the young nrin wh-j has fin
ished his course , have b ; tii ! launched
upon the appreciative public. It is too
much the custom to make light of thcso
budding efforts of genius. Of course
many of thorn lack what wo are accus
tomed to dunomlnuto originality , but
originality is moro or loss obsolete. To
the young persons who pronounce the
spcoi'.hoi the ideas have all the oxhil.ir -
ation and novelty of original dis
coveries. Their efforts placed along
side the early productions of some
of our greatest writers and orators of the
past are decidedly creditable. It is no
fault of the youthful graduate that ho
has lived , toiled and ended his school
days in the brightest epoch of the bright
est of all the centuries. Give to every
boy and girl credit for the efforts they
have made and applaud them for skill iu
rearranging and reproducing old iduas.
It is what , our best thinkers admit they
have done all their lives. The youth
who are now leaving school will learn
soon enough that active life is not the
realization of the school day dream.
Then lot no word of cruel criticism or
crushing blow of ridicule meet them at
its gateway.
