The advertising train should bo in the field for the fairs. SUNDAY la a proper occasion for adopting good resolutions. Lot the Omaha reader therefore reaolvo to patronize Omaha industry. WITHIN throe months wo can have n , manufacturing activity in Omaha which will surprise everybody , by simply patronizing Omaha industry. PKHHAPS the county board will reflect over Sunday upon the fact that forty or fifty saloons arc running within two miles of Oniiiha without license. Rucii'KOCiTY means simply that wo will exchange our surplus lor whnt wo cannot produce ourselves , but will buy nothing1 abroad which wo makonthomo. MAJOII McKiNLKY has opened his own campaign with a spcecli which is an eye opener to the two-faced organi zation being led to defeat by Governor Campbell. THE Nebraska State "Business Men's association is. mooting with gratifying encouragement in working up its adver tising train , and it deserves the encour agement for tlio idea is practicable and \ will bo profitable. n's pugnacity promises noth ing for him and nothing for Ireland. Parnoll ought to bo patriotic enough to see that ho is a buck number and cannot put a fresh date upon himself by any sort of punishment inflicted upon his enemies. Parncll's sun is a long time setting , but it is behind impenetrable clouds and must go down without over again being soon in its-full effulgence. NKIIKASKA independents will not fool particularly complimented by the Chicago cage 2VifoiiieV ( comment upon their Jlast- . ings platform , but they cannot find fault with the great daily for tolling the truth about thorn. The Tribune thinks it questionable "whether as many ab surd and contradictory propositions over wore piled up in ono document. " The independents will llvo to bo oslitiraod of their platform if not to carry another election. MISSIONARY rioters in China are not likely to Inquire into the tonota of the faith of the whtto people at the mission ary establishments , saving those of ono denomination and killing those of an other. They may wonder in their wild , heathenish fron/.y why the white man's religion requires so many different styles of preachers and churches and why the priests of one refuse to affiliate with the priests of another , but this will not deter them from burning and robbing all with out discrimination. RUDINI has not received much no toriety sinuo ho tackled the Amoricnn premier to his disadvantage. The Chlnosn dllllcultios bring him to the front on the other side the Atlantic , however , with the patriotic announco- tnat if Germany , England and France do not care to co-operate with him ho will send a fleet ever to the Celestial Kingdom himself to thrash the heathens. Hudinl is a llury talker , and yet after reading his dispatches to America soon nftor the Now Orleans trouble wo are not prepared to tremble for the Ohlna- inon whom lit ) propose * to keep away from the clltzetiH of Italy temporarily sojourning along the Ynng-tso-Klnng. \ NKIUIASKA'B board of health Booms to f bo a close corporation with u secret code | ' of procoduro. At all ovontsthis orgtini- . r.aUon refuses to tnnko public part of its i oniclal proceedings. This is wrong1. No ; ether state board pretends to con ceal any of iU public business. Thu protests tiled n < ; alnst admitting insurance companies to do business in Nebraska nro mibUo property when filed nnd en should bo protests against _ issuing licenses to practice tuodlclno when tiled with the board of health. The now conclave of doctors may have the fates of the fraternity in their hands , but they have no right to conceal - coal any of their proceedings or make a locrot of any notion brought before Uiora. The principle of reciprocity ns applloc to national tarilT legislation is that of an exchange of favors mutually bonoll- clal. It can bo applied at' home , lo cally , with gratifying results. The wngo-uarnor of the city whoso living is earned hero should exchange his cnsh for the manufactured nrjlclo of his neighbor so that the neighbor may contribute to the prosperity of the wagn earner's em- plo.ver. Omaha bakers should buy yonnt from Onmlm yeast makers , so that Omaha yeast makers may hire holt ) in their factory who ahull in turn buy bread of Omaha bukorius. Omaha cigar makers should use Omaha eiyiu boxes to enable Oimilm box mnkcrH to hire men who can smoke Omaha cigars. So should the Omaha capitalist purchase Omaha manufactures to encourage the establishment ol factories , the employment of people , the IncvciiMc of retail trade and the improve ment of real estate values. In carrying forward this reciprocity Omaha money makcrri will bo enabled to loan thoii capital to worthy enterprises and at the satno time improve their security by stimulating trade and adding to the pop ulation which shall consume the product and loiin its savings to the hank and do its business through the bank. This is only another way of Illustrat ing the beneficent commercial maxim "Patronize Homo Industry. " Itis apply ing the great doclrino of reciprocity to the individual. "You trade with mo and I will trndo with you" is the basis of local commercial pros perity and upon no other can local business centers grow into impor tance. The 140,000 people of Omaha have it in their power today to increase their number to 2'JUOO ' ( ) within 18 monthw. If the local manufactories now employing 111,000 men were given all the Omaha trade in their respective lines they would bo compelled within the time named to increase their force 61 employes to 18,000 at least and this would add a population of 30,000 to the city. To sup ply the o 30,000 addition a ) people with groceries , meat , other necessaries and luxuries and transact other business for them would permanently employ not less than 0,000additional men , top- resenting another # 0,000 increase in population , making 00,000 in all added to the present number of souls in Omaha. The idea is not chimerical. It is in tensely practical. It is patriotism of the most profitable character. The indi vidual is appealed to , not to make n sacrifice for the common good , but simply to ube the opportunity presented for advancing his own interests and those of his nnighbors at the same time without expense to either. If our pcoplo could bo brought to a proper appreciation of the value of cooperation in its full sense the business pulse of Omaha would at once bo quick ened and good times would bo restored. Lot every Omaha man make it the rule of his life to demana Omaha goods from Omaha merchants and the merchants will at once call upon the manufacturers with increased ordors. Providence helps them that helps themselves and wo are ourselves to blame because wo have not 25,000 wage earners in our manufacto ries1 instead of 12,000 , and only 1-10,000 people instead of 250,000. POSTAL TELUailAPH AHROAD. The letter of Mr. E. Rosewater , which THIS Bii2 : prints this morning , supple menting his former letter regarding the postal telegraph systems in Europe with much interesting information regarding details of oporatlon and management , will reward careful reading. The ques tion of establishing postal telegraphy in the United States is a very live question , touching closely the interests of the whole people. Every year the demand grows for more extended facili ties of rapid communication and for a cheaper and bettor tele graph service , and this demand is not being mot If the experience of the past may fairly bo appealed to as indicating what may bo expected in the future , the wants of the people will never bo satisfactorily supplied , at charges which will insure a fair return , until the government takes control of the matter nnd connects the telegraph with the postal system. The great im portance of this question , there fore , makes it desir.iblo that every intelligent citizen shall bo fully informed regarding postal holography whore it has been carried to successful operation and its value to the public demonstrated. Mr. Roaowator is ; ) oculiarly qualified , both by practical cnowlcdgo and long study of this quos- ; ion , to glvo the needed information , and therefore his contributions to this subject are of especial value. It may surprise most people to learn , hat the telegraph system in Kncrland is n most respects far in advance of the system in this country , and that Jtis is the case is duo to the 'act of government control. It ippears that the government is con stantly solicitous to improve the service .o facilitate communication , and thus to KMiulit the public , whoso interests are of ii-Ht consideration. Mr. Rosewater 'ouml the celerity in handling telegrams mil the extraordinary facilities for their reception and transmission to bo the nest suggestive feature of the London postal telegraph system , and much superior to the present service by Amer ican companies. The French postal : olcgraph aystom is very slml- ar to that in England , the latlor really joing patterned after that of the former , [ n the important matters of cheapness ind efficiency the telogrnpji service In England and Franco is in advance of , imt in this country , and with respect to .ho objection to postal telegraphy on political grounds , that is , that it would ; ivo a dangerous power to the party in control of the government , Mr. Rose water found both in England and [ Trance that the employes in the lolograph service are absolutely In dependent of political influence or pros- sure. Men of various political opinions are employed and no question is over asked regarding their views. They are lot allowed to take an active part in lolitlcs , but they vote as they ploaae. I'lio uniform answer to the inquiries of tlr. Rusowator was that such a thing as tampering with dispatches for political ends or coercion of employe1) is un known. No fair-minded tniUlvlll \ doubt that with a postal telegraph system in this country dispatcher would be just us carefully guarded as letters are , and that the employes of such a service would bo a free from political coercion as are the letter carriers and other em ployes of the postal service now. AM'K or run Among the papers read before the American Association for the Advance ment of Science , in session in Washing ton city , was oifu by Processor James ol the University of Pennsylvania , discuss ing the grievance of the American farmoi and suggesting remedies. At this time , when the fanners of the country as a whole are looking to an assured future of almost unprecedented prosperity , II may scorn inopportune to talk of griev ances , but it will bo none the loss inter esting to note what a professor o/ polit ical economy and a student of existing economic conditions has to submit on this subject. Professor James thinks nothing will bo gained cither from an economic or polit ical point of vinw by belittling or derid ing Iho views of western f armors on the money question , on the tariff , on the railroad policy , on taxation and other similar topics. The American farmer lias a real grievance that will not become loss by poo-poohinir it , but ono which must bo carefully studied by students ol economics nnd statistics to ascertain , if possible , how far it is justified and whether it can bo remedied , nnd if so , by what moans. Professor James sug gests several causes for the grievance of the farmer and in the policy of the rail roads , which has berne hard upon Iho individual farmer and upon the farmers its a class. It lias altered all the condi tions of agriculture in many sections of the country , and in nearly all of them in such a way ns needlessly to burden nnd embarrass the farmer. Another cause is the system of taxation , which as a whole rests moro heavily upon the fanner. There is little doubt , said Professor James , that undpr the method of a general property tax now prevailing in this country the rural dis trict is , relatively speaking , moro heav ily taxed than the city. Both the finan cial and tariff policies of the country , in the opinion of Professor James , dis criminate against the farmers' interests. Referring to remedies , the alteration of the railway policy , read justment of the system of tax ation , improvement of the tariff nnd changes in the banking' and general monetary policy of the country , are sot down as moro palliatives , which do not go to the root of the matter. The forces which are crowding the American farmer to the wall are world-wide and not merely national forces. He is going to the wall because ho is trying to compete - pete with farmers of a low grade of in telligence and civilization in.tho pro duction of crops where' intelli gence and civilization count for comparatively little. Professor James said the American farmer "must seek now crops -whoro- intelli gence and skill count for moro than moro fertility of soil or juxtapositio'n to market , and where hnvlnir nnp.n nsfaih- lishcd himself ho may bid defiance to the ignorance and inefficiency of-foreign peasant , ryat or boor. This calls for a broad and liberal policy toward agricul ture in all its relations. In conclusion Professor James said : "if our farmers' alliances , grangers' associations.horny- handed sons of toll conventions , etc. , would , with all their .getting , got understanding ; would , after securing , or bettor while securing , noodo.d reforms in the railwayt tax , tariff and monetary nolicy of the country , go to the very root of the matter , viz : Remedy the Intolerance , ignorance , conservatism of the farming classes themselves In all that pertains to agriculture , no Ameri can could have cause to rogrot' even the wildest lucubrations of the flat money anti-corporation demagogue/ ' There is unquestionably some whole some truth in this , but Pro fessor James errs in assum ing that the American farmer is going to the wall , unless the conclusions of some -equally careful statlcians are all wrong. On the contrary , givincr some weight to the views of Mr. O. Wood Davis and others who have followed his line of investiga tion , the era of a steadily advancing prosperity for the American farmpr is at hand. With the population of Europe already greatly in excess of its capacity for producing food , it would seem that the farmers of America are vssurcd a profitable market abroad for ill their surplus until the homo market shall have grown to proportions , not nany years hence , that will require the entire domestic production. Reforms ind changes are undoubtedly demanded in the interest of justice to the Ameri can farmers , but it is not correct to say of them as a class that they are going to the wall. KlMiRltO.l llTKff INS Tit VOTIOK. Among all the advanced movements in educational circles within a tow years that in favor of incorporating the klndor- rarten into the public school system is at once the most interesting and promises , ho most bonntlcont results to the conn- try at largo. Within twenty years the system elaborated by Froobol has jrown rapidly in favor in all countries where the education of children is given thought nnd attention. From very in significant beginnings in America , the dndorgarton has steadily advanced in 'avor ' until now it Is rocog- ilzod by loading educators ns the system best adapted to the earliest instruction of the child. It has not become a part of many public school systems , but It is soon to bo adopted in ill our principal cities if the signs of the times arc read correctly. San Francisco , Boston , Philadelphia , Rochester and St , Louis have free kin- lorgnrtons supported from public funds. St. Paul , Washington , Los Angeles and other cities have free kinder gartens kept up by private sub scriptions. In every largo city of the union private kindergartens ibound and all over the country the dis cussion proceeds as to whether Froobol's dea shall ho engrafted upon the Amor- can system or continued as private In- btructlon. Congress will bo asked to idopt the system in the District of Co lumbia , and kindergarten associations 1n every state or urglng its Importance and merits. It is merely a question ol time when lift little children of our cities will bo gathered into apartments especially provdod for them , where the kintiorgarton' ftachor and kindergarten materials and appliances will bo fur nished by the public. Their utility is admitted. Tliirtyxpcnso of conducting them will soon bo provided for. There wore in 1888 , at the time of the last government report upon t o sub ject , C21 kindergartens , with 1,202 teachers and ! H,227 pupils. This repre sents their growth since 1870 , when at tention began to bo directed to the system c5n this sldo of the Atlantic. Our people have been slow to recognize its advantages , largely bccauso in American homos parents have moro leisure for imparting private instructiot than in those of foreign countries. The demands upon the assimilating capac ity of our public schools has grown tremendously in these 20 years. The proportion of the po'jroi nnu moro illiterate classes of foreigners immigrating to America has increased moro rapidly than our facilities for ab sorbing thorn. The public school is the essential and chief guarantee that these elements shall become a useful part of our social organism. The school worlc proper ns hitherto understood does nol reach to the roots of the evil with which this great influx if ignorant forofcnors threaten our coun try. The kindergarten is the nearest approach to an American homo influ ence , and intelligent homo instruction which can bo devised. Its incorpora tion into the system of public schools will take the children of working pcoplo who are forced to neglect their homo training at throe -years of ago , and carry them in their amusements to the ago of eight , imparting to them moan while habits of cleanliness , politeness , industry and accuracy , while teaching them to talk , read , write and laying the foundations for industrial em ployment In after years. It is the only practicable way of lengthening the aver age period of attendance upon instruc tion and the success which has already attended kindergarten training disposes of all question ns to its utility. There are two points of weakness in our public school system. Ono is that the course of study is not always shaped with an eye to results of a practical nature , and thoJtuor [ is the fact that an alarmingly largo proportion of all the children who enter the public schools never roach the. higher grades. The kindergarten WilL largely correct those weaknesses. It is elementary industrial training and without forcing the mind into books lands the pupil at eight years of ago at the threshold of the public school proper with a variety ami extent of information which ordinary methods of instruction wgujd never impart. The kindergarten discussion has reached Omaha. Several kindergartens have from time to time boon established hero and their results have boon en tirely satisfactory to their patrons. The board is osk'ed to incorporate the kinder garten into the system of the public scnools. The arguments in its favor have a peculiar force in Omaha because of the largo nuraberbf foreign-speaking citizens and busy wage-earners in the city. If it is valuable as an adjunct to the public schools anywhere the field for the kindergarten bore is especially promising , The Omaha schools have been kept well to the front of educa tional progress and will not fall far behind - hind other cities in the adoption of this latest if not best idea for increasing their efficiency and beneficial influence. UK UK ION AND FAIR. THE BEE believes in events which got the people of this state together. It wishes it wore possible for every citi zen of Nebraska to moot every other cit izen some time during each year. There is nothing so valuable to a com monwealth , city or neighborhood as the sympathy which comes from close association. There would bo fewer crimes , fewer differences in court and fewer misfortunes to honor and finances if people could intermingle moro freely and exchange ideas and dis cuss the conditions of life with each other. The grand army and other or ganizations do a great deal toward keeping the peopln of Nebraska in touch with each other. The Grand Army reunion at Grand Island every year and the state fair at Lincoln are the two great annual jubilees of Ne braska at largo. On these two occa sions people from all sections of the state meet and become acquainted. They both do our citizens great good besides inviting attention from the out side wo-id to our people and our products. The reunion commences this week and will bo in full blast the week following. The etato fair follows the reunion immedi ately and its big ( Jays are the week be ginning September 7. The crops are &o largo and the gotioral condition of Ne braska so satisfactory that wo feel like urging all our citizens to participate in thcso two gatherings , making of them genuine harvest hpmo festivals. ANNOUNCKMHNV Is made that the annual ontranc,4'"pxaminations of the National Conservatory of Music , Now York , will bo hodfrom ' | ( September 21 to 29 for singing , v'loltn , piano and organ , and in Novonib 'for ' ochostra , chorus and operatic chorus. At the designated times nil person ; , Desiring to enter the conservatory anil having the necessary qualifications will Jmvo an opportunity to do so. It should ] bo remembered that the prlino purpose of this ex cellent Institution is to develop and encourage American musical talent , and therefore the foes required are merely nominal , the desire of the board foolnu to gather from a.11 parts of the United States pupils whoso after labors will advance the cnuso of music in their native land. The faculty of the conservatory vatory is of the highest character , and the institution hus dotid a great work in ulvanclng musical culture in thin country. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ IK R A i-ii ) CITY. South Dakota , uhould fail to bo a largo city the oltUens will lot bo to blamo. They are as ontorpris- ng , progressive and dotormlnud a band of iHioplo as over turned ihoir attention to city building. When the great rail way corporations cannot bo made to BOO the necessity of building rail ways for them they simply take hold and build their own. The latest evidence of their confldonco In their future is the Dakota & Wyom ing railway which IH to open up a dlrcc road to the Wyoming coal mines. They have done comparatively little talking about It , but have quietly sol the enter prlso in motion and are building the railway. Rapid City deserves success fo her energy nnd self-reliance and she has incomparable resources to back then both. TUESDAY next the last meeting of the state board of transportation in conference once with parties interested In rullwaj rates will bo hold at Not-folk. Tin meetings at Lincoln and Kearney wore productive of no results and that at Nor folk promises nothing of value or interest torost to the question. Nevertheless i is proper and important that the pro ducers bo represented as ably as possi bio to the end that the state board slml not bo furnished with an excuse for further delay In the performance o their duty in this connection. TUB colored Masons of Omaha have boon enjoying a mooting of their gram lodge through the week. It has boon t gala week among members of the ordot and the colored people generally. The event was ono of considerable Importance tanco , being the quarter centennial celc bration of the organization for this juris diction. A largo number of colored pee pie from abroad wore present and it is needless to add , went back to thoii homos satisfied that their Omaha friends know how to entertain hospitably. SKNATOU MANDEKSON has been summering moring in Vermont , where onthusiasn is usually congealed , and this probablj explains why ho Is loss sanguine ovoi Omaha's prospects for the republican national convention than some othei good citizens. After ho has broathet Omaha o/ono a few days and partici pated in the Grand Island reunion o veterans his blood will bo quickened and ho will fairly bubble ever with in terest and confidence in the effort to se cure the convention. COAL is a costly item in an Omaha man's expense account under the most favorable circumstances. With railroad rates stiff botwcon Chicago nnd Omnha it assumes an appalling consequence. The dealers are out with their annual fall scare about a short supply and high prices when cold weather comes. As a result of all those machinations and dis couraging circumstances the average citizen looks ever into December and January with a feeling of chilly appre hension. THE sound of the threshing machine comes up from every part of the state and the stacks are surprising their owners with the largo yield per acre which has boon harvested. Nothing can boat the American farmer this year. Ho has ovorythitfghlHOwn way. Ho must feed the worlil. COAT , dealers appear to have a hard time of it in Omaha because the railroad rates are so high , but it has boon a long time since a coal dealer in Omaha wont into bankruptcy. The talk of the coal dealer that ho is selling coal at $9.25 merely for his health hicks candor if not consistency. Tnis season promises to go into the history of Omaha as a phenomenal ono for the number of men whoso names stick to the city payroll and for the small proportionate return rendered for their salaries.
