WHAT i the Omaha Board of Trade
doing with reference to the Montana
i ailway ?
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
HousKKKKi'KUS should sco to it that
everything UBod in the household so far
aa possible is of homo manufacture.
OMAHA wants parks and is willing to
'pay for thorn if located in the right
places. Otherwise she would hesitate.
THE Fifth Ward Citizens' club is a
good suggestion for organizations in be
half of good government all over the
city. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
CONSISTENCY is a rarjo jewel. It is
hardly fair to expect a man named Brass
to wear it at the cost of a good job on
the World's Fair commission.
WHEN wo have developed our local fac
tories by giving them our patronage to
'
the exclusion of outsiders't ! will require
no bonus to induce others to locate in
Omaha.
IN THE midst of our plenty to temper
our rejoicings over remunerative prices
for our food products comes the thought
that thousands of Russian peasants are
dying for want of food.
JOHN M. KAOAN of Hastings enjoyed
the first part of his tussle with Dictator
Burrows immensely , but the Dictator
laughs lust. Mr. Ragan will not inter
cept the buzz-saw BO gleefully hereafter.
. LET the manufacturers of Omaha
make up a list of articles made in this
city for the information of the people so
that patriotic citizens may practice as
well aa pronch the doctrine , Patronize
Omaha Industry.
THE State Board of Health machine is
grinding out curtiflcatcH with compara
tively little friction. Tlio doctor who
has a dollar and a diploma is compara
tively safe , provided no other doctor has
a grudge to work oil against him.
OMAHA in common with other local
ities is suffering from dull times , and
yet wo have It in our power to give an
impulse to the business of the city which
in eighteen months will add 00,000 people
ple and double the retail and manufac
turing trade of thu city.
THE park commissioners are getting
down to business. Tlio proposition for
Bovoral parks wit'iin easy reach of the
city is one that will moot the approval
of our citizens. Upon no other practica
ble idea can wo hope to luivo botida
voted for the purchase of land for park
purposes. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
IT MAY bo annoying to the Board of
County Commissioners to bo continually
reminded that the last legislature
passed a law providing for a license of
9500 par annum for saloons in the former
prohibited two mile bolt. It probably
exasperates all public bodies to bo truth
fully told that they are neglecting their
duty. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
SECTION 531 of the compiled statutes ,
1889 , provide : ) "grand juries shall not
hereafter bo drawn , summoned or re
quired to attend at the sittings of any
court within this state as provided by
law unless the judge thereof shall so di
rect by writing , under his hand , and
Sled with the clerk of said court. " The
judgoa of the district court In Douglas
county perhaps understand that tlioro is
a crying necessity for a grand jury thla
particular tinturun.
ORAKD ARMY IIKUNJOX.
The reunion of the Nebraska depart
ment of the Grand Army of the Repub
lic , which will begin at Grand Inland to
morrow and continuo through the week ,
Is an annual event of supreme Interest
to the veterans of this state. Nebraska
is ono of the few Btatea that have regu
lar departmental reunions , and the fact
bears strong testimony to the ear
nest Bpirlt of comradeship and
the sincere loyalty to their organ
ization which prevail among the
union soldiers and sailors of the
atato who are members of the Grand
Army. Nowhere are the men who
fought to preserve the nation united by
stronger bonds of fraternity. The nol-
dior population of Nebraska , though less
nutnorwls than In many other states ,
cental MB representatives of nearly all
the states that furnished troops to the
union army , and their fellowship is the
stronger for the common love of the
homos they loft. Nothing IB more Im
pressive at these reunions than
the meetings ot the veterans from
the various states , who as they
recall the incidents of the inarch and
the battlefield and the bivouac , do not
forgot to rnfor fondly to the old atato on
whoso soldier rolls their names are in
delibly inscribed.
Speaking recently to a body of veterans
orans in the east gathering to a social
reunion , President Harrison said that
such assemblages are full of interest to
the veteran and full of instruction and
inspiration to these who gather with
them. But while there is pleasure in
tho'co meetings , they hiivo also a
pathetic Bide. "Wo gather , " said the
president , "with diminished ranks from
your to year. Wo miss the comrades
who are dropping by the way. Wo see
repeated now that which wo saw as the
great column moved on in the campaign
of the war a comrade dropping out ,
berne to the hospital , followed to the
grave and yet these soldier memories
and thoughts are brightened by the
glories which inspire and at
tend all these gatherings of the
votorana of the war. " Such re
flections as thodo must como
to the men who will gather at Grand
Island this week. Many of them will
miss comrades with whom they grasped
hands a year ago and talked over the
events that are first in the thoughts of
every old soldier comrades who have
fallen out of the ranks of the living , but
the lesson of whoso loyalty and heroism
lives on , an enduring source of inspira
tion to these who are loft
ana these who shall corao
after , yet while they mourn
the departed they will still re
member with pride the glories they
helped achieve. This year's reunion
promises to surpass in interest and at
tendance any that has preceded it. A
number of prominent Grand Army men
from other states are expected to bo
present , the programme arranged as
sures a variety of entertainment of the
most interesting character , and every
thing has been provided necessary to
insure the comfort and enjoyment of
the votorana and their guests. If
good weather is vouchsafed the
forthcoming mooting of the Nebraska
department of the Grand Army of the
Republic will bo the most memorable
gathering of old soldiers and sailors in
the history of the stato. THE BEE
presents elsewhere all the information
obtainable , and the fullest over before
given , regarding the present strength
of the Grand Army In Nebraska , with
facts respecting the individual members
which will bo of interest to every vet
eran.
A KIKDEIIQAIITKN ASSOCIATION.
A number of ladies in Omaha who are
familiar with the kindergarten system"
of training are agitating the question of
organizing in this city a kindergarten
association. The suggestion will no
doubt meet with encouragement here as
it has in Denver , St. Paul , Los Angeles ,
San Francisco and other western cities.
The purpose of such an organization
ia two fold. First the dissemination of
information in regard to the Froobol
system of instructiou and the education
of public sentiment in favor of its adop
tion into the public schools of Omaha ;
second the establishment hero of ono or
more free kindergartens supported by
private subscription as a means of prov
ing the value of the kindergarten and
for the benefit of children of poor people
who would not otherwise have oppor
tunity to enjoy such training as is con
templated by the kindergarten idea.
The movement ought to bo encour
aged by persons who nro interested in
educational matters becau3o the kinder
garten is approved by the best educators
in the world. It ought also to enlist tno
sympathy of persons phllanthroplcally
inclined because of the light it will
throw into the lives of children among
the poor people of contain sections of
the city wiio know nothing but squalor
from birth to the ago when they enter
the public schools or go out to work for
wages. As a practical method of mis
sionary endeavor among the foreign
people in Omaha , whom the church us
strive to reach by sowing schools and
Sunday schools , the kindergarten must
commend itself.
The expense of putting up apartments ,
supplying material and paying for teach
ers is not great , In St. Paul several of
these Institutions are maintained among
the poorer classes at a total annual ex
pense of but $2,000. The beneficent work
they liuvo accomplished there is the
subject of remark by all who have given
it attention , and a sentiment in favor of
a more complete system in connection
with the public schools is rapidly grow
ing. In Chicago a missionary among
the Pules and Bohemians of a sec
tion of the city has made hia
mission notable by the remarkable re
sult * ho has achieved among these people
ple by the aid of kindergartens. In
Washington a freo" kindergarten for
colored children IB accomplishing won
derful good. In LOH Angolpsa local kin
dergarten association maintains ono
school and the city contributes a small
sum toward the maintenance of another.
Their work is chiolly among the Italians
and Spanish.
In every largo city there are working
women with infants whom they are
forced to leave all day long either to the
care of older brothers and sisters or
neighbors while they go out to earn
money for their support. A kindergar
ten In thblr midst Is n godsend and
the Hlllo ones who would otherwise
bo loft to the misery of hovels and the
uncertain care of persona perhaps In
competent and vicious , are taken into
the llttlu homo schools and trained In
morals , manners and rudimentary In
dustries , the bonuilts of which are last
ing. There can bo no argument raised
against the kindergarten. It per
forms a service for the child ,
the parent and tlio public , which only
the most careful homo training can per
form for it. It is a sensible , practical ,
humane , enjoyable philanthropy which
Invites the moat active sympathy of all
right minded persons. By all moans lot
us liavo a kindergarten association hero.
CO.VCKKJV/iVO OMAHA INDUSTRIES.
The crops in Nebraska for this year
are immense and the prices remunera
tive. In some instances the returns are
equal to the entire valuation of the land ,
which produces them. Wo are entering
upon an era of oneral prosperity ,
and thla year wilt relieve the finan
cial pressure which has depressed
the state for a long period. When
the farmer prospora the local merchant
and business men of all classes are ben-
ofiiod. When crops are good villages
and cities in farming communities
grow nnd the greater centers of
trade feel the impulse of improved
business conditions. When a city
reaches metropolitan proportions ,
however , it cannot afford to rely entirely
upon the resources of good soil , good
crops and good prices. Thcso things are
valuable ; indeed they are essential in
agricultural sections , but other resources
must bo developed to secure permanent
growth and Independence.
There is danger that our citizens are
relying too implicitly upon the grain
and stock product of Nebraska and the
west and are ih danger of overlooking
other sources of income to Omaha which
must bo developed in order to preserve
for this city the commercial supremacy
already attained. Wo have hero
a largo population of working
pooplo. Their earnings are the
backbone of our retail trade High
prices for farm products mean incroa&ed
cost of living for them and necessitate
steady employment and good wages.
Thcso are not afforded them merely by
inc'oasod wealth among the farmers ,
although indirectly they may bo bene
fited. Good crops and good prices for
them stimulate jobbing trade and the
manufacture of articles for shipment out
of the city , but they do not increase the
local trade of local manufacturers of ar
ticles used chiolly by our own citizens.
Therefore it behooves every citizen
of Omaha to turn from the bright out-
looic on the farms to the depressed con
ditions of local trade. Wo must do
something hero and now to improve the
business situation among our retail
merchants and our local manufacturers.
Aa has been repeatedly stated in these
columns , Bradstroets credits Omaha
with 12,000 wage earners who are em
ployed in local factories largo and
smalL Of this number perhaps
3,000 are in the railroad shops
and smelting works. This leaves,9,000
In the 120 smaller factories which wo
are in the habit of passing by every day
without much notice. The 12,000 em
ployes support directly and indirectly
not less than 00,000 persons. It is plain
as the muitiplication table that
if wo can double the number of
wage earners in Omaha wo can add
00,000 people to our population and
double our retail trade.
It ia 30 easy , too , to increase the num
ber of employes. The trade of 140,000
people in Omaha for Omaha manufac
tures in preference to these of
other cities will a great deal
more than double the output of
our local factories. An agreement on
the part of the people of this ctyy to
stand by each other , if carried out ,
moans an immense increase of retail
trade , an improvement of rental
and real estate values , an increase in the
quantity and variety of manufactures
and prosperity in every line of business
in Omaha. The relief of this city from
depression in trade is BO simple and easy
of accomplishment that ifhardly seems
necessary to explain its details. It rosta
with the individual first , the retail
dealer next and the capitalist last. If
individuals will buy Omaha goods , the
retail dealer will sell them and the de
mand for them will interest the capital
ist in providing the supply.
innnisox's JIAWY HITS.
Few public men and no president with
the possible exception of Abraham Lin
coln possessed so happy a faculty of ut
tering so many wise sayings and perpetrating -
potrating so few errors in his public
speeches as Benjamin Harrison.
His tour * 0f the south and west
Drought to him great credit as
an off hand speaker. Hia recent
journoyinga in Now England have drawn
from him several short addresses each
day , and each of them is a gem In its
way entirely distinct from any and all
others. Ho has said many humorous
things , but there is a weight and lasting
quality about some of his epigrammatic
references to American politics , patriot
ism and principles which deserve to beset
set out by themselves.
At Falrlmvon , Vt. , after pleasantly
greeting the citizens wlto gathered
about tlio roar of the sleeping car , ho
'
said :
You are here , each In his own pluco , these
Kood ladles la that supremely influential
position ttio Araurlcau homo and you , my
countrymen , in thp shop * anil la the Colds ,
making contributions to tlio prosperity and
the glory of tbts great nation. It is pleasant
to know that tlio love of country , titltnulatcd
by the teaching of tbo father nnd of th
niothor , revived by those recollections of the
first strucclo for indopnndonco , deepened by
tbo sacrifices which were made In the civil
war to preserve wtiat our fathers had pur
chased for us. are still holding sway In the
hearts ot our pooplo.
And the same day a few minutes later
at Castloton the site of a normal school
this tribute to the Now England school
teacher at once delicate and truthful :
Ono ot the most Influential cliaraptors in
the history of the United States Is the Now
England school touctior. it wo could follow
the track of tnoso intolllgentmou and woman
who have gene out from the New England
states , to tbo west nnd southwest , it wo
could trace these strong , yet sloutlor and
harU-to-bo-dlscovorod threads of lutluoiico
wblcb they hare started In the communities
to which they wont ; if wo could know bow
they Impressed qtT the minds of the puplU
brought under tbfwhcaro tbo great lonsoni of
self-toitpoot nnd leva for free Institutions nnd
fioclnt ordcrwo"Uifiyjtt uuvo n higher thought
tnnh wo ovcrhntlret of the power and dig
nity of the pioneers of education.
At Middiebury still in the midst of
educational institutions the president
speaks grandly of their Influence in
these words , noble enough for n place in
the memory W every citizen of the
union : \J
My countrymen , lung * mar rule ever an
Ignorant people , and , by their iron control ,
hold thorn In subjection and In tbo quietness
of tyranny , but a free land rests upon the
Intelligence of Its people nnd has no other
safety than In well rout jcd education and
thorough moral training.
Speaking again the same day at Bur.
llngton with superior dignity nnd simple
oloqtioncc :
Wo not unfrcquontly nnd with o so , lift
ourselves above nil the contentions ot party
strife and stand In the clour , Inspiring nnd
stimulating sunshine as American patriots.
Wo nro conspicuously n people who give
their allegiance to Institutions and not to
mon.
mon.At
At St. Albans on the evening of the
day which brought all of the above
utterances ho delivered a brief address ,
every word of which is worth repeating
and to quote from which would do it in
justice. On the next day at , Richmond ,
after pleading that no American citizen
bhull ever grudge the president the re
freshment which comes from occasional
visits to the country , ho feelingly gives
utterance to this sentiment :
The bracing ol the good will of the people
of this country Is very essential to these
who , in tbo midst of great perplexity nud
doubt and under staggering responsibility ,
endeavor , as they see the right , to do it.
Again at Watorbary half an hour
later :
As long as wo can preserve independence
and self respect , nnd that degree of comfort
in the homo that makes it pleasant abode
wbon tbo day's toll is ended , and that ena
bles , oy the most careful thrift , the head of
the household to lay by for the family and to
Hgbton in some measure tbo care and laborof
the children that are to follow htm , there
can bo no Imnplor und tban ours.
Speaking in the state house to the
legislature of Vermont this good old-
fashioned patriotic doctrine is uttered :
If wo shall ever , or anywhere , allow a
doubt to settle In the minds of our people
whether the results of our elections are hon
estly attained , whether the laws made are
framed by these who hnvo been properly
chosen by the majority , then nil sanction is
withdrawn from law , ana respect from the
rulers , wbo , by false ballot , are placed in
public ofHces.
On Thursday at Windsor tho-dolicato
humor of most if his extemporaneous
addresses involl illustrated in his
reference to Hon. William M. Evarts ,
who is spending the summer a this
country seat there , in which ho saya :
It is pleasant to bo hero today at the homo
of my esteemed friend nnd your fellow
townsman , lIon AVjllliiim M. Evarts. I am
glad tbnt he bus introduced into Vermont
model farming n'nii has shown you what the
income of n largo tglty law practice can do in
the fertilization of to farm.
In the score 'Of' ' speeches delivered be
tween Benning'ioh and Rutland there
was no partisan utterance , no reflec
tion upon opponents , no hint or in-
, nuenclo which q ldf bo distorted into n
'criticism of "tho career or the sentiment
of ony other public man. His speeches
were well timo'dj' eloquent , chaste in
language and pure' in sentiment. They
are absolutely unassailable ana once
more prove that President Harrison is
both well poised and well equipped by
education and experience for the re
sponsible position to which the votes of
the people called him after an exciting
campaign in November , 18S8.
THE STATIONARY ENGINEERS.
The National Association of Station
ary Engineers , whoso annual convention
will bo hold in this city this week ,
deserves more than passing comment.
The average man , who does not happen
to bo particularly interested , has little
idea of the importance of these engin
eers to the industrial interests of the
country , but when it is remembered that
without these men the industrial wheels
of the nation would bo at a standstill ,
streets and buildings would bo without
light , edifices over four stories in height
would bo practically useless for business
purposes , the wheat would bo unground
and the cotton would remain unspun ,
it can bo easily seen that civilization is
largely indebted to the engineer. Then ,
too , it must bo borne in mind that not
only do they hold in their hands the
comfort of the people , but without their
clear heads and steady hands that
mysterious element which wo call steam
and which is now a slave might bo a
destroying demon.
It is for reasons like these that a con
vention of mon of this class is of more
than ordinary interest Starting some
twelve years ago , n handful of wage
workers , as a preamble to their consti
tution they adopted the follow
ing : "This association shall not
bo used for the furtherance of
strikes , neither shall it interfere with
the employer and the employe with ro-
crard to wages. " While in the light of
present events this may not appear to
amount to mucjj' ' , it should bo remem
bered that thosxwwngo workers have car
ried this principle through a long series
of labor agitates , during which many
times their adherence to this declara
tion threatened iholr very existence.
Again , this hoclation linn boon found
all ever the country , through their local
branches , kno'jfKtng at the doors of the
various statoditoglplaturos , asking for
laws for the bettor preservation of
life and proojrty [ , for the examina
tion and , llcoiislng of mon placed
in charge of nfomn boilers , and Invaria
bly their potiufljs to the various legisla
tures have boonoio worded as lo moan
that the oxpdBdo' suoh examination
and license shall bo berne by the en
gineers themselves. In other words ,
for the sake of elevating their profes
sion , they have voluntarily asked the
various state legislatures to place upon
them u special tax.
The mon who will assemble hero this
week corao from all parts of the United
States and Canada , from Now York to
San Francisco , from Duluth to New Or
leans , They come here to legislate in
behalf of their order and to confer to
gether for the advancement of steam en
gineering. Among them will bo found
men holding the highest engineering
positions in the country , as well us these
occupying loss exulted but no loss hon
orable positions. Omnlm Is to bo con
gratulated on having the honor of re-
receiving within her gates those men of
brain and brawn ,
THK CHILIAN
The overthrow of the Balmacoda gov
ernment in Chili Hooms to bo assured.
The complete success of the oongroa-
slonallst army at Valparaiso IH fully
confirmed , nnd the best opinion is that
the dictator will not attempt to timko
another stand. Ho had evidently con
centrated all the force at his command
for the decisive conflict in which his
principal generals were killed ,
hia army routed , and ho liSniJ
self forced to seek safety in
humiliating flight , and with the
people flocking to the standard of the
revolutionists his cause would appear to
bo utterly hopeless. No bettor evidence
of this could perhaps bo needed than
the fact that the president-elect ,
Vicuna , who had been active in the
cause of Balmnccda , sought protection
on a Gorman war ship , which ho cer
tainly would not have done if ho
had believed tlioro was the slight
est chance of continuing the conflict
with any show for the success of the dic
tator. The probability is , as suggested
by the dispatches at hand at this writ
ing , that Balmacoda will leave the
country , if ho has not already done so.
It the signal victory obtaino.l by the
revolutionists shall prove to bo the end
of the struggle all friends of constitu
tional government throughout the
world will congratulate the Chilian
people on the result. The conflict ,
though of short duration , has
boon carried on by both
sides in the most determined spirit , arid
on the part of Balmacoda , if the reports
are trustworthy , with a relentless bru
tality wnouy repugnant to modern war-
faro. Unless ho is grossly misrepre
sented , the ferocity shown by the dictator
tater will entitle him to a place in infamy
with Attila , According to the opinions
expressed by the representatives
of the congrossionalist party in
the United States , there will bo
no retaliation for the barbari
ties alleged to have been practiced
by Balmacoda , or under his orders , and
the revolutionists would lese in the
respect of the world by imitating
his policy. They have made their
contest , as all fair-inindod mon believe ,
in the interest of constitutional govern
ment , and they could make no greater
mistake than to give way to the
spirit of revenge in the hour of
victory and invite the reprobation of
the world by such deeds of atroc
ity as are charged to the account of
these they have overcome. The progress
of Chili , interrupted by this most unfor
tunate civil strife , will resume its wonted
course as soon aa a constitutional admin
istration of affairs can bo re-established ,
and that country w'll speedily again
take its place among the most prosper
ous and progressive of South American
states , with every assurance of a longer
era of peace than that which was broken
by the revolution.
ELSEAVHKHK in this issue is a sugges
tion for the formation of a manufac
turers' association whoso especial and
exclusive purpose shall bo ho thorough
development of Omaha industries. It
should not take the 128 manufacturing
firms of this city more than a minute
to appreciate the importance of the pro
posed organization. Its socrctury should
bo an able , wideawake , well informed
man who should devote his entire time
to the work of encouraging and build
ing up tlio business of members of tno
association. A good man , backed by a
strong association , can make himself in
valuable to Omaha and its factories. It
would not take long for an organization
