TiiAN'iCboivmo day is n lioliday on
which tlio poor of the city nro mid ill-
ways should bo ramoinborcd.
WiiKTiinu Omaha wins the republican
nationul convention or otherwise , she
hits nmilo a good olTort to secure it.
THE Denver mining congress declares
for a 412 } grain silver dollar , which is a
long stop toward honest money from tlio
free coinngo standpoint.
FINLAND has undertaken the impossi
ble. Tlio authorities of the capital of
that cold region nro endeavoring to sup
press the Salvation army.
"No SKAT , no fare" is the war cry on
some of the crowded street car lines in
Chicago. Such a sentiment in Omaha
would paralyze the car companies about
0 p. ra every day.
A CHICAGO man claims to have dis
covered Dr. Koeloy's wonderful secret
for the euro of alcoholism. lie thinks it
is strychnine. Similia , similibus cur-
luitor poison eradicates poison.
OMAHA has captured Washington
city completely. If the citi/ons of tlio
capital had it in their power they would
give Omaha the convention and throw
in the Washington monument as evi
dence of good will.
continues to sco-saw before
the public. All information via London
represents tlio republic in the throes
of early dissolution. That from the seat
of government indicates that da Fonseca
knows what ho is about.
LONDON capitalists will pick up
Omaha bonds very gleefully. Omaha
pays her debts , and London capitalists ,
after considerable experience in losing
Investments , are on the lookout for just
t.uch bonds as Omaha issuog.
A CAU famine is delaying the mnrkot-
Jng of the wheat crop of South Dakota.
There is .consolation in the thought ,
however , that the situation is far inoro
satisfactory than when tlio famine is on
the farms instead of tlio railroads.
PnitHAi'S it will bo as well to remem
ber before wo all get too much wrought
up over the question of parks that the
lands will not bo purchased until after
the bonds are sold , and the bonds will
not bo olTorcd or issued until after Janu
ary 1. _
THK best way to settle the question of
the south park is to advertise for offers
of tracts of land in that section of the
city. Having but $08,000 to expend
there , the commiriHionors and people
will expect it to bo most judiciously ex
pended.
O.VI.Y two of the four rooms in the
Hitchcock school building are needed
for the present , which further exposes
the folly which led to the erection of a
JO.OOO four-room wooden structure , and
would Indulge in the additional extrava
gance of a $1.200 fancy heating plant.
I.MMICWAT1ON G'OMMISSION'KK
THIS , who made the trip from Liverpool
to Now York in the gulso of an assisted
pauper immigrant , performed a feat
which will make him sure of an engage
ment on a good Now York newspaper
wnollior the government appreciates
his services or not
KNOUSH tenant farmers , for the llrst

ACCOUDINO to the verdict at the pro-
llmlnary trial four ordinarily inoffensive
and respectable young uion are solely
responsible for the lynching of Smith tlio
negro ravlshor. Tlioao four young men
overpowered the city police force , the
sheriff ami all-hla deputies and dragged
the black man to death in the presence
of porlmpa 10,000 law abiding poon'.o !
What nonsense !
arrested Immediately
Twenty-five men were
diately after tlio lynching of the negro ,
Smith , October 0. There wns n mar
velous show of nerve on the part of the
prosecuting attorney , for which ho re
ceived duo credit. The law was to bo
vindicated and lynching hoes were to bo
made unpopular and dangerous. The
arrests were In some particulars pecu
liar , because men who were generally
supposed to have boon foremost In the
dovilisu work of that dreadful night in
October were not disturbed , while a
number of inoro spaetatora were drawn
before the police court and placed under
bonds for their appearance.
Tlio cITort to vindicate justice
was purely pyrotechnical , however ,
as the results have demonstrated.
Prominent ward heelers are said to
have told intinmto friends in advance of
the hearing before the magistrates that
they would bo discharged. Whether
such statements were made or not the
facts are that not a single participant
of prominence , or a local ward rustler
was held to tlio district court. Of the
twonty-llvo men arrested originally only
four were hbld to appear. These
were young fellows drawn into the
trouble by clrcuinstances , whom the
police and authorities appear to have
selected as scapegoats for the
offenses of a mob of thousands
of people. There were not loss than ; tIO (
men directly engaged in the crime of
hanging that nogro. Yet the processes
of tlio courts have thus far fastened the
guilt upon but four. Can it bo possible
that those four boys battled the efforts of
the shorilT find alt his deputies , tlio
ninety policemen , the lire department ,
Judge Doano , Governor Doyd and Mayor
dishing ?
Why is it that the politicians and
ward heelers worn all discharged ? Why
have the shorilT and police force escaped
censure ? Why did the police olllcors
single out those four young men
as scapegoats ? Why has no of
ficial investigation taken place ?
Why aid tlio assistant coroner
and the coroner's jury bring in a ver
dict that the poor negro came to his
death by fright ? Why was a prominent
local politician who was clearly aud
positively identified as a participant
dibchargcd ?
Tlio young Gorman , NoushafTer , was
without friends and it was safe therefore -
fore to hold him to the district court.
Ono of the other young follows picked
up three or four policemen by the napes
of the neck and seats of the trousers tind
trundled them out of the way on the
night of the lynching. Ho had to suffer
of course. The other two young mon
were moro prominent and noisy than
circumstances warranted , but they are
not built in scarecrows or demons and
would hardly frighten a baby to death.
The fact is the whole preliminary trial
was a farce. It looks very much as if it
wa3 intended at the beginning to bo a
farco. The public will not approve of
any judicial procedure which shall
make four mon pay the penalty of imprudence -
prudence in being caught , for an awful
crime in which hundreds were engaged
and in which there were no disguises or
masks worn.
xxruxmos.
The time will como , and it ought note
to bo very far off , when Omaha will take
a serious interest in the subject of uni
versity extension. This plan of supply
ing people with an opportunity to ob
tain many ot the advantages of r. univer
sity education without attending a uni
versity is making steady progress , having
in its course westward readied Chicago
cage , whoso educational institutions are
taking a most earnest interest in it. It
is a comparatively now movement in the
United Status , but the fact that for
some years the value of the plan has
been most fully and satisfactorily demon
strated in England permits of no ques
tion that it can bo made equally success
ful hero. Confidence in it is also justi
fied by the success that has attended
its application in the east , where
the results have mot the highest oxpcc
tations of the promoters of the plan.
One of the most zealous friends in this
country of university extension is
Prof. Thompson , of the University of
Pennsylvania. Ho advocates it on the
ground that in a democratic community ,
where society makes the largest demands
on the intelligence of tlio whole body of
the people , nothing short of tlio higher
education will make it possible
for them to moot that demand. Uni
versal suffrage , remarks Professor
Thompson , does not lind its educational
complement in the spelling book. Soci
ety lias grown far too complex for that
It needs the enlightening , sobering ,
steadying influence of advanced study to
lit men for the common duties of modern
clti'/.enship. It is the opinion of the
same high authority that there is no
reason why the whole body of our people'
should not bo educated to a point far
Jjoyond the possibilities of our common
school system. The workingman must
use his leisure to hotter purpose If ho is
to hold the place his class used to hold.
Tlio near future may SQO a great in-
oronso in that leisure. University extension -
tension is none too soon to roach and use
this lolsuro to the boat ends.
In every town and city there are men
and women who can be interested in a
course of study of ono kind or another.
To these university extension oilers
an opportunity for intellectual culture
not otherwise to bo secured. It will enable -
able these people , the number of whom
is largo , who fool the need of being
brought moro closely in touch with the
best thought of the day to gratify their
desire in this respect without interfer
ing with their practical duties and rela
tions. Suoh people , it liny bo said , can
got the knowledge they want from reading -
ing , but not In the same satisfactory
way that they could if they derived it
under the direction of a competent in
structor and by pursuing a wull-dullnod
method of reading. Uetwoon thu plan
of study which university extension pro
vides and independent effort there is the
difference , in most cases , between system
and thu lack of it , between regulated
work and that done at hnphuy.ard. On
the side of university extension are
the ndvantages that como from method
and from wisely dirootod energy , neces
sarily loading to and producing fuller
Information and morb accurate knowl
edge.
This plan opens the wtiy to a higher
education 'for the thousands of young
mon and women who havn boon unable
to carry their culture beyond tlio In
struction to bo obtained in the public
schools. The number of such In every
city Is largo , and many of them would
eagerly grasp the opportunity to
attain higher iiitolloetun.1 training If
they could do so without having
to abandon the pursuits neces
sary to 11 livelihood. For a great army
of such persons the university extension
movement contains the promise of im
measurable benefits. It Is important ,
also , In the olTcct It will have In stim
ulating the popular desire for advanced
culturo. It is not to bo doubted that
tills Is needed. There is a largo number
of people who do not use tlio opportu
nities they have for Intellectual improve
ment , and who need to bo stirred up to
their duty in this respect. Upon
nviny such persons the introduction of
university extension would exert a
wholesome influence. Associations are
b'oing formed in some of the eastern
cities , composed largely of persons in
terested in educational progress , for the
purpose of promoting university exten
sion in their communities. Tlio exam
ple is worthy of consideration by the
friends of education hero , since there is
no reason why Omaha may not have the
advantages and benefits of university
extension.
KKOII'llOVIlf AT
Local patriotism is as necessary to the
strength and permanent prosperity of a
community as "national patriotism.
Local patriotism is immediately profit
able , while love for the country at largo
may bo purely sentimental and indi
vidually expensive. The American who
will not defend America and supporthor
institutions does not deserve the namo.
The Omaha man who permits his city to
bo misrepresented without rebuking the
slanderer is unworthy of citizenship in
this city. A smuggler not only violates
tlio revenue law , but also discredits his
government and gives nid to her
enemies. Ho does moro ; ho injures his
neighbor who obeys tlio law and whoso
profits are stolen by the law-breaker.
Tlio tariff which the Omaha manufac
turer must pay is the freight rate on
the raw material. The competition ho
contends with is the advantage which
the eastern manufacturer enjoys in the
purchase of that raw material. Tlio
Omaha merchant who gets an inside
rate which enables iiim to undersell an
Omaha manufacturer and to place east
ern goods where Omaha has hitherto
furnished the supply is no bettor than a
smuggler. Ho violates the law , dis
credits his own city and robs his fellowman -
man upon whoso prosperity the city
at largo in small or great measure must
rest.
It is too much to ask that Omaha
goods shall bo purchased merely
because they are made hero ,
though it is a proper principle. It
is not asking too much , however , to in
sist that where all conditions are equal
the Omaha manufacturer shall be given
the preference. In fact tlio well-being
of the city requires this ah the hands of
her citizens.
Tlio people are thoroughly aroused to
the importance of practicing as well as
preaching the doctrine of homo against
the world. The public officers seem not
to have partaken of the enthusiasm , and
prefer the work of outsiders to that of
men who employ labor and pay wages at
homo. Wo want this doctrine carried
into official as well as private life. The
great corporations with largo interests
in Omaha have como forward most
coinmondably to tlio help of local
manufacturers , local dealers and local
interests. The city and county govern
ments and the Board of Education are
lagging behind and awarding furniture
ana other contracts to eastern firms.
Tlio ! people of Omaha can make it decidedly -
cidodly unpopular for firms , politicians
and individuals to neglect homo indus
tries. Tlio ladies can make it unfash
ionable to go abroad to do their shop
ping or to buy oas'torn.mado household
goods , when just as good qualities and
prices may bo obtained in Oinuha.

The best' evidence that the world is
growing bettor is found in the fact that
almost everybody who is making his own
living is in tores ted one way or another
in some sort of charitable organization.
Tlio national , state , county and munici
pal governments collect and expend
millions annually for the benefit of
these oilhor by nature or circumstances
unfortunate. Tlio nineteenth century ,
conspicuous as it is in every other par
ticular , btands higher than any of its
predecessors in the matter of doing good
to those who need sympathy and sub
stantial aid. Tlio man or woman in tnis
day who has no bowels of compassion for
the world's poor , alllicted and needy is
rare and despicable.
Omaha Is abreast with the century in
the mutter of charities and charitable
organizations. Her people open their
hearts and their purt-os to God's poor
with true occidental generosity. Wo
have hospitals , industrial schools , homes
for women arid children , and homos of
refuge for all who are In distress , sup
ported by private subscriptions in addi
tion to those kept up by public funds.
The ono thing most needed to give otli-
cacy to tlio good works of our people is
judicious organization. A clo.irlng
house for the charities is us essential to
proper distribution of benevolences as it
is in banking' and ootninercl.il cir
cles. Tins central clearing house ,
as it may bo called , should have
such relations with all the associations ,
homos and other provisions for the com
fort of the needy us would enable It to
distribute food , clothing and funds whore
most needed and prevent imposition
from conscienceless beggars and lazy
frauds.
A movement Is now under way for the
establishment of a charity union which
shall perform just this duty toward the
public. It should bo encouraged by our
people in all the churches and in all the
organizations for good works. A dnlo-
gate meeting on behalf of the union
would bo a practical way of reaching
do finite results and is recommended.
Our city ia abundantly able and willing
to provide lor the necessitous cases If
there can bo n means devised for cir
cumventing Imposition and placing con
tributions where they will glvo the
relief which hurmuilty demands.

America welcomes the people of

ing her resource ? . She docs not wel
come these wlij ) $ } -o paupers , diseased
or criminal , wufoih foreign governments
seek to Inflict lyrati our country In order
to escape the PXPOIISO of providing for
them. It lias'loiip been tlio Impression
that nn orgaihzcd attempt has been
made by foreign countries to dump
upon America the' undesirable classes
of their population. To prevent this a
rigid system of inspection has boon
adopted by tills country and re
strictive laws have been enacted.
In splto of these , however , the
steamship companies and societies
abroad have managed to force through
our custom houses by fair moans and
foul many persons of the class against
whom this prohibitory legislation lias
been directed.
Within a few days ono of the special
commissioners sent abroad to InvostU
gate emigration methods in Europe has
turned the electric light upon the busi
ness of assisting undesirable classes to
roach America , which is likely to result
In further legislation to correct the cryIng -
Ing evil of wnich this country has the
right to complain. With great shrewd
ness and in various disguises Commis
sioner Schullois has mndo personal
investigations and inquiries in s6v-
oral European lands which had to
the inevitable conclusion that steamship
companies and alleged benevolent or
ganizations , with at lonsi tlio tacit con
sent of the governments , are carrying
on a systematic scheme of shipping pau
pers , criminals and diseased persons to
America.
The commissioner is a linguist , and in
Holland , Italy and England ho pursued
ills inquiries with remarkable shrewd
ness. Finally ho succeeded in secur
ing assistance for himself as a paunor
immigrant and actually made the trip
from Liverpool to New York as a steer
age pabsongor aboard the Sorvia. His
observations have boon reported to the
secretary of the treasury , and will
eventually bo made public in all proba
bility. With characteristic enterprise
the Now York Jlerald has published a
narrative of his experiences which
ought to bring about a reform aboard
the transatlantic steamers in their
methods of treat ing steerage passengers ,
as welt as awaken the Castle Garden
officials to the necessity of a far moro
rigid inspection of arriving passengers.
The efforts of cfthor officials and even of
a follow commissio'nor to discredit the
report of Mr. Schultois will hardly af
fect the value of the information ho has
gathered in th $ public mind , for ho was
fortunately discovered by a Now York
Jfemhl correspondent aboard the ship
and his Story is capable of corroboration
in many importantparticulars. It bears
upon its face the evidence of truthfulness
and warrants at least most careful con
sideration ou thapaut.of.tho authorities
and should load to further inquiry at the
hands of reliable detectives , who shall
follow a similar course of investigation
in the same and other countries and upon
other steamships.
THE Aitr Kxninrr.
The art exhibit of tlio Western Art
association will continue for two weeks
longer. It is a most creditable enter
prise and is entitled to a warm support
from all classes of our citizens , not only
npon its merits but because of the good
use to which the profits , if any , are to
bo devoted. As has been stated before ,
the art association has established here
a college of art and the proceeds of this
exhibit are to bo devoted to tlio school.
It is a commendable purpose and the art
association should not bo allowed to fail
in its offprt to help on a good causo.
Tlio exhibit will bo open today for the
benefit of the laboring classes especially ,
who are deprived by their exacting du
ties ofjtho pnvilonfe of visiting tlio Ex
position hall during week days.
Omaha cannot afford to allow ttio art
association to carry the entire burden of
the good work it lias attempted in this
city. Our citizens should turn from com
mercial matters occasionally to those
allecting moro directly tlio social con
ditions under which wo are to live and
in which our children are to develop.
There is always too much tendency to
confine our thoughts hero in the west to
tlio development of material resources.
Wo need a broader culture , and should
loud a hand where possible to these ef
forts which make for the intellectual
and moral improvement of tlio com
munity. The nucleus is here for a
growth in art which deserves the foster
ing caru of tlio almighty dollar and tlio
owners of that dollar. Lot every man ,
woman and child of sulllclont ago give
to the art exhibit the substantial recog
nition of at least ono -o-cent admission.

versal peace will have such general
recognition as to render them of any
valuo.
IT IS said that President Harrison
will in his annual address suggest the
subject of a money Indemnity to the
families of the Italian subjects who were
killed in the riot nt Now Orleans.
Whllo it ia true that our government has
disclaimed any responsibility for that oc-
uurronco. on the ground Hint It was duo
to a mob of Irresponsible people and
that the national authority can done
no moro for foreign citizens than can bo
done under our laws for the people of
our own country , It Is obviously the duty
of the government to make a just repara
tion to the friends of the persons who
lost their lives , provided they were not
citizens of the United States. Whllo our
government has in effect disclaimed
any responsibility for the act of the
mob In Now Orleans , it has
at the same tlmo acknowledged a cer
tain duty with respect to these persons
who might bo proved to hnvo been citi
zens , and it is not to bo doubted that it
will bo perfectly fair In both cases.
That Is to say , if it concedes Indemnity
to the foreigners It will very likely do
something for the survivors , If tlioro are
any , of the men who wore citizens of
tliis country. At any ralo , tlioro can
bo no doubt that the best judgment of
the American people is In faVor of deal
ing fairly In this matter , and the next
congress will doubtless bo disposed to
satisfy any reasonable demand of a mon
etary nature that Italy may make.

Clevclnuil Failed to Control.
A broad smile overspread the faces of the
four or llvo candidates for speaker , aside
from Mr. Mills , wlin.ii they read this
evening tlio statement of ox-President
Cleveland that ho was not Interested in the
contest waging over the organization of the
Uouso of representatives , and that ho 1ms
not , as reported , indorsed the candidacy of
Mr. Mills' It. Is notoriously true that Mr.
Cleveland induced Mr. Mills to renounce his
free comiico views with the clear under
standing 'that If ho did so the
cx-presldent's friends in the cast
woul'J support him for speaker. If
Mr. Cleveland now moans to desert ,
Mills after the latter has burnt tlio bridges
bohfnd him it will be all the more unfuriun-
aio tor the New York standing candidate for
the presidency , for it will vobrand him as an
Ingrato. It is stated by some Now York
democratic members of the house that Mr ,
Cleveland was loci to make the announcement )
of neutrality because ho llnds himself unaulo
to control the Now York delegation , some of
them having declared against Mills and iti
favor of Crisp and McMillan. The "stuffed
prophet" has precipitated upon himself a
light of which ho Httlo dreamt and has thus
early , m his endeavors to organize the house ,
control legislation and shape party issues ,
made a miserable failuro.
