TUB Nebraska school for deaf tnutoa
is ono of the best institutions of the
character in the country. It has boon uni
formly progressive and successful and
fortunately 1ms escaped the changes of
. politics and administrations. For uoino-
thing llko fourteen years It has boon
conducted by the present managomont.
Its usefulness is beyond computation to
the unfortunate class for whoso exclu
sive bonotlt it is maintained. Omaha
people who wish ut any time to witness
the most interesting and novel of oxor-
cisoa should pay this institute a visit.
A BOUTiiKiiN orator says : "Tho
pathos , sentiment and rouianco of the
war between the states is concentrated
nnd crystallized about the causa of the
confederacy. In the north today no name
thrills the heart like that of Leo , no
name oloetrlllos the people llko that of
Stonewall Jackson , no sabro gllstona
like that of Stuart. " The southern
orator evidently has not boon farther
north than Delaware , and when ho was
in the little state ho fell Into n demo
cratic caucus. There is no thrill or en
thusiasm or romance in the nam s of
any of those three loaders whatever of
pathos there may bo in tlioir failure to
overturn the union. It id Ill-advised ,
untruthful nud unwarranted uonsonfco of
this kind , uttered when opportunity
presents , that hoopstho north and south
apart. Eloquence anil rhetoric cannot
make the great wrong the south at
tempted right or its traitorous attempt
at secession justifiable to the union men
of the north.
At the risk of being tiresome THF
Bin : again refers to thU most itnportan
subject. The wnrohoueo , bill goes Into
effect July 1. The cereal crop will bo
harvested within six weeks. The pros
poets foi' n largo yield of wheat , oats
rye nnd barley were never bettor. The
state will have n. very largo surplus. I
must bo garnered. The average prairlo
farmer cannot hou3n a full crop. In this
particular year ho could not afford to
house it in his own granaries if ho hat
the capacity. The adversities of past
seasons will force u largo majority of out
farmers either to sell their crops hnmo
dlately or to borrow money upon thorn
for necessary and urgent expenditures
The warehouse law wan never before so
importnntiimoasurotoourproducers. It
if , as it were , n proyldonllnl Interposition
in their behalf. But providence only
helps them that help themselves , and
hence without warehouses the benefits
of the beneficent law will bo los t.
It IH for those reasons that Tin : BII-
persistently urges itw readers to glvo the
matter carqful attention. It is in the
interest of the producers that alliance
leaders tire urged to abandon the whang-
doodle and take up with something
whicli can bo useful to the class foi
which they claim to speak. It is in the
interest of the producer that grain men
are urged in this city and other cen
tral polnlri in the state to take stops to
nocuro storage warehouses or olovatora.
There wai never MO good an opportunity
to make tin Nebraska farmer inde
pendent. With storage warehouses for
his products and a system of warehouse
inspection and warehouse receipts the
farmer can carry his grain until the
rush of the harvest time is past and
normal prices for grain prevail. Ho
will bo able to reali/.o a fair percentage
upon the present value of his crop In
loans nt banks for which the ware
house receipts are satisfactory col
lateral security. With this money
immediate and pressing necessities
will bo relieved without sacrificing the
advance in price sure to follow if the
grain is held for a bettor market.
Omaha Is particularly interested in
this whole subject. As the principal
city and great commercial supply depot ,
a proper system of grain and produce
storage establishments and local centers
for handling the productsho will natur
ally become the market for this
great state. Her grain nnd pro
duce men must provide the ware
houses and olovatora and open a grain
and produce exchange if the city is to
take advantage of the opportunities al
most certain to bo presented. Omaha ,
must take time by the forelock , and bo
ready for the business. She cannot afTord
to fail in the presence of the approach
ing emergency when millions of bushels
of grain will be seeking granaries. She
has no time to lose , and this is another
reason why wo again earnestly urge all
concerned to glvo the subject the care
ful attention which the imperative con
ditions require.
MOUTQAOKS Off A GOLD JiASIS.
The Philadelphia- Press reports thnt
the loading trust companies and capital
ists of that- city have taken n position
within the last few weeks against lend
ing money on mortgages unless It is mu
tually agreed that the obligation en
tered into shall bo paid at maturity in
gold coin , and the interest accruing
from time to tlmo shall also bo paid in
the same kind of currency. It is stated
that while this has boon the require
ment that has confronted most now bor
rowers , it has been an almost general de
mand of those persons who have desired
that maturing mortgages shall bo re
newed.
The explanation of this action is the
apprehended possibility of a premium on
gold to result from legislation by con
gress making the , coinage of silver free.
The olllcors of the trust companies in
terviewed by tt\o Press profess to believe
that a measure providing for the free
coinage of silver will bo passed by the
next congress , and they also claim
to bo alarmed at the progress of
the farmers' alliance movement
in the west. Ono Of the trust of
ficers interviewed said : "This is the
very natural result of the farmers' alli
ance movement in the west , and the
wild financial motions that it seeks to
propogato. " Another said : "This
movement is duo In n largo measure to
the disturbance in values that Is ex
pected by silver legislation. " A third
remarked : "Wo consider that the risk
that confronts us now is n very great
ono. No ono knows when this agitation
will end. The influences back of it are
very powerful. It may end with this
year , but it may last for several years.
[ t is not that anything has been done
as yet to impair the stability of mort
gages , but it Is thoappuohonsion oMvh.it
'uturo legislatures will do that makes us
fearful. "
The feeling that prompts the nctlom
of those trust companies la perhaps nat
ural , andfyot there is really very little
jround for the fear they profess. So far
na free silver legislation by the next con
gress is coucorned , It may bo admitted
/hat U is probable , but there is
every reason to believe that such
egislatlon could not , become oper
ative. Unless it bo assumed that
President Harrison can bo per
suaded that his past opposition to free
silver hoa boon u mistake , nnd that It Is
n desirable policy for the country , there
vlll be no change during his administra
tion regarding silver , for while Ills dis
approval of n free coinage , law might bo
overridden by tlio house and doubtless
vould be. it is not at all probable that It
could be in the senate. As to the other
source of professed alarm , western logis-
ntion , it is to be &aid that the
alliance legislatures of the present
oar had as favorable an oppor-
unlty as they probably ever will
itivo to enact luws unfavorable to mort-
; ngo Investors , but not ono of them
mssod such n law. Measures of ttiis
iharacter were proposed In Kansas ,
Nebraska nnd Minnesota , and received a
strong support , but Intelligent nnd
horough discussion defeated them , and
ho great majority ol the farmer mom-
> ors of all those legislatures were on-
Irqly satisfied with the result. There
s very small likelihood of another sorl-
oua attempt to pass such legislation
being made in any of those states for a
uuuibor of years , unless , indeed ,
the action of the trust .companies ol
Philadelphia should become general
nnd create ti spirit of retaliation.
Under present conditions , nnd so long
ns they continuo , obligations to pay gold
will impose upon those making them
nothing moro serious than possible In
convenience , though this would rnrolj
happen. Nobody will demand 'gold so
long as paper is at par with it. Tht
spirit of the requirement Is the chief ob
jectlon to It , and this docs not seem to
have warrant in existing circumstances
Mil. H'AKAMAKKK'S 8TATKMKNT ,
The Philadelphia Itccord is a demo
oratio paper , and it is ono of the vorj
few papers of that class which can bo
fair and just to n prominent member o
the party in opposition. Referring to
the statement made to the investigating
committee of the Philadelphia , councils
by Postmaster General Wanamakor , re
gardmg his relations with the wrockoi
Keystone bank , the Record says it was
"free , full and conclusive. It was bust
ness-like ana clear as to every possible
point which could bo of assistance or
value to the inquiry. Alike in tone and
in completeness of detail It was ns
frank and satisfying as the committee
could have wished , and not even a pub
lic curiosity , phi nod to the uttermost by
sensational statements' in the press ol
Other cities , could have asked fuller
testimony than the postmaster general
has furnished. " The llccordls familial
with the career of Mr. Wanamakor as a
citizen and a business man , and it fur
ther srtys that no ono who knows him
expected for a moment that his testi
mony would bo of any other character.
This fair judgment is in honorable
contrast with the comments of
other democratic oapors , which endeavor -
doavor to find flaws In the
statement of Mr. Wanamakor and
otherwise seek to discredit it. When the
facts came out regarding the wrecked
bunk the circumstance of the postmaster
general and the firm with which ho Is
connected having had business relations
with the institution was hastily seized
upon by the democratic newspapers as
affording an exceptional opportunity for
lashing the member of the administra
tion for whom they have the strongest
dislike. The bank had boon ruined by a
deliberately planned and persistently
pursued system of plunder. The city
of Philadelphia and the state of
Pennsylvania lost heavily in the
wreck. Confiding depositors had boon
ruthlessly robbed. The city treasurer
of Philadelphia , assumed to bo on
terms of intimacy with Mr. Wana
maker , was a party to the infamous
business. The treasury authorities
were charged with a serious dereliction
of duty , which it was suggested was duo
to some powerful influence at Washing
ton. And the postmaster general had
done business with the wrecked .institu
tion. Hero , indeed , was material that
seemed to promise the democratic and
mugwump papers endless "roasts"
for the head of the post-
office department But the president
promptly responded to a request of the
Philadelphia authorities tliajhowould
do all in his power to JacilHato a
thorough investigation , and Mr"Wana
maker wont before the investigating
committee of the Philadelphia councils
at Its first mooting and inndo a clear ,
full nnd unequivocal statement of all he
know about the wrecked bank , which
acquitted him absolutely of any responsi
bility for the disaster ana showed that
lie also had boon the victim of a sot of
thieves. Undoubtedly this was a very
great disappointment to the democratic
and mugwump editors gonerolly ; nd they
have manifested their chagrin in their
peculiar way , but the testimony
of the Philadelphia -Record will
outweigh all their efforts to
discredit the full and frank' state
ment of Mr , Wanamakor. In the
judgment of all fair-minded men ho
will bo regarded as wholly blameless in
the matter with which his name has become -
como associated through legitimate and
entirely proper business transactions.
IT APPDAHS that THE BKE was mis
taken in stating a few days ago that no
action had been taken in Germany on
the prop'osition to abolish the bounty on
boot sugar , the fact being that it pre
vailed and the law will take effect in
1897. As wo remember the clrcum-
Uancos this arrangement is in the na
ture of a compromise , the original propo
sition contemplating a much onrlior
abandonment of the bounty. The fact ,
liowovor , has no importance in
its bearing upon the general
purpose of our article. which
was to show the good results in Euro
pean countries from the stimuating [
effect of bounties. The Gorman boot
sugar industry being fully established , ,
the withdrawal of the bounty would
probably work no injury to it , but oven
as it Is the government allows it six
years moro of bounties with , which to
strengthen Itself. In that time there
should bo In the United States , with

Compulsory Voting.
I'litladtltiMa Ileainl.
A discussion Is gol.ig on In Now York
newspapers as to the merits of a proposed
law to make voting compulsory. Such n law
would proceed upon the assumption that
something mUht Go gainud by compelling
neglectful doctors to go to the polls. This is
moro than doubtful. These who do not care
enough about government to assist In
carrying It on would hardly Improve its
quality If they did assist. They lack in pa

Immigration in thu "Went.
C'itir/f r licx Ktati-Vnts.
Several wastorn nowspapori arq complain
ing of an opinion which Is becoming moro
nnd moro nccontuntod for .some tlmo past
against Immigration , or rather against the
foreign elements which Is increasing very
rapidly from day to day Into the United
States. The Sontlnol of Mllwnukoa and Tin :
BHK of Omaha warmly attest that the states
of Wisconsin and Nebraska and others , far
from being overcrowded with working people
have not enough to moot the demand , and
furthermore , the very best examples of In
dustry and thrift nru found among people
of foreign birth , uud it It absurd and
unjust to innko a sweeping charge
against foreigners coming to the country
because hero and there some of them are law
less or Indolent , or thriftless. There are
nallvon who are all tliojo and nuiilfejtly It
would bo ndiouloui for foreigners to con-
dninn all Americans because wo have these
elements of homo production among us. TIM ;
Jim : admits that some undesirable people got
into the country , bat the number of such U
very greatly exaggerated , and It adds "wo
can bettor afford to have n few of thoio
thrown upon us than not to got the thousands
of industrious , thrifty , honest people whom
the country needs , mid In order to knop the
former out it would bo necessary to absolutely
close our ports to Immigration. "

They Hob a nip New York Store of
All Its Diamonds.
Nr.w Yoitic , Juno II. The mammoth es
tablishment of Hilton , Hughes & Donning
was robbed , says the World this morning.
An enormous building , built of Iron , with the
lower iloor Incased In shutters pi stool , was
found easy of ontrancn by sjtlllful burglars ,
who were able to make u rich haul and escape
without leavlntr n duo ns tot their identity ,
A watchman stationed at each of the four
corners of the building nt all hours of the
night outwitted by burglars , who got in wlfti
their tools and osoapo with their booty with-
outso much ns exciting suspicion.
It is wonderful , but It is true , that the
store of Hilton , Hughes & Donning was
robbed last Friday night In the cleverest
style that has distinguished a burglary In
Now York for many years , and ao far not an
Inkling has boon obtained by the police as to
the identity of the robbers. These shrewd
burglars were evidently export professional
diamond tuiovos , und the plunder they se
cured consisted of $10,000 worth of gems
from the jewelry department of the nrm TUn
astonishing feature of the robbery Is the fact
that the thlovos should have selected the
store of Hilton , Hughes & Donning of all
others in the city. Ono would have supposed
that thev would have preferred a safe deposit -
posit company's vault or tb United States
sub-treasury. The newspapers lastSaturday
morning published it paragraph of a few lines
concerning n slight llro in the great eiry
goods and miscellaneous store of Hilton ,
Hughes & Denning , which occupies the entire -
tire block bounded by Bro.idwny , Fourth
avenue and Ninth and Tenth streets. That" "
iiro was a part of ttio schomoof the burglars
but nobody thought so then , as It was not ,
until the following day that the burglary was
discovered.
When the store was opened on Saturday It
was found thnt ono of the safes , in which ttio
diamonds wore kept , had been forced open
during the night and Its contents stolon.
Ttoro was great consternation In the Rtoro
aim after a rapid Investigation Superintend
ent Clancoy rushed down to police headquar
ters and reported the robbery to Inspector
Uyrnos , who at once put several of his best
men on the caso. Moanwhllo ttio Unn in
structed Its employes , under penalty of In
stant dismissal , to preserve absolute .silonco
concerning the robbery to avoid spooking of
it even at home , nnd not cvun to gossip about
it with each othor. Inspector fiyrnos has
worked on the case with all of his well known
energy , but the thieves are now enjoying , In
what appears to bo absolute security , the
fruits of their daring robbery. The linn
places the value of tlio stolen articles ut only
$10,000 , , but there were enough to reward
them for their night's work , and probably
$10,000 is what might bo called a consnrvativo
estimate. There nra people who would say
that Hilton , Hughes & Uunnlng's stock of
diamond jewelry , all of which was In the
safe , und all of which was stolen , was worth
vastly moro than J 10,000t
Whether the valuables In the safe wcro
worth * 10,000 or Wt,0K ( ) , the tholvoi too k
therm all , and then arose the delicate ( juos--
lion as to how thuy were to cot away. A
burglar who can oiion u locked safe can eiloso
It nunlii , and that Is what these burglars did.
Having done so , how to escape with the
booty boctima In reality a burning question.
The flro was started and In the confusion the
thioveis escaped.
The store of Hilton , Hughes & Donning Is
the big buildint , ' built by A. T. Ktowart for
an up-town retail ostnblfshmunt when ho had
the foresight to see that his Chamber street
store would bo too far down town In a few
years , und when people predicted that his
business would fall because of Its transfer
from the contorof trade to a point so far
north as Ninth street und Ilroadway. Time ,
however , JustllleU his wisdom , and after the
death of the merchant prlnco the business
was carried on In a similar manner by 10. J
Donning & Co. This llrni , as every one will
remember , bccatno known as Hilton , Huuhos
& Donning , thus hooping In business nil the
old stand's money , U .not the iiamo of A. T.
