Omaha will entertain this woclc several -
oral thoimnd visitors from nvary part
of the country , the representatives of
ono of the most undent of the pccrot
orders. The Mystic Shrinors claim
centuries of ngo for their order , with
Arabia as Ha original homo. It should
bo remarked , by way of correcting a
common Improsalon , that they have no
direct relationship with Masonry ,
though only Masons of high degree can
become Shrinors. The candidate for
ndmisilbn to the Mystic Shrine must
have boon a Knight Templar or attained
the thirty-second dogrco of Scottish
rlto In Miwonry. This order , therefore ,
embraces only these who have approved
themselves worthy of the highest dis
tinctions which the Masonic order can
confer. So that while not directly iden
tified with Masonry it Is osaontlally In
harmony witn that ordor.
It is therefore a distinguished body of
guoats mon of standing In professional
and business Hfo who will bo enter
tained by Omaha this week , and the
hospitality and consideration stiown
thorn should bo commensurate with
their high character. They are capable
of appreciating good treatment and they
are not apt to forgot It. The oppor
tunity is presented to Omaha to nmko
an impression upon these intelligent
and discriminating visitor * which will
redound to the credit of the city
throughout the land. Lot us as a com
munity how in every practicable way
that wo heartily welcome Shrinors and
Knights to this Gate City of the west.
So far as the resident members of these
orders are concerned they will do their
whole duty in the matter of hospitable
onlortaiiimont. The preparations give
ample assurance that the guests will bo
well cm-oil for. What is required is that
citl/.ons generally shall supplement
these efforts of the local Masonic
fraternity by sucli manifestation of in
terest as will show our guests that their
presence ia appreciated by all our pee
ple. Business houses and residences
should bo generously and gaily decor
ated and every consideration bo shown
the visitors personally. There is no
city in the country that does not court
the favor -of tlmso orders. Omaha is
fortunate in having ono of the most im
portant of thorn moot here. Lot us
show that wo know how to appreciate
the consideration.

Only three pf President Harrison's
nominations failed of confirmation before
fore tho' adjournment of the senate.
This is regarded by both friends and
foes of President Harrison as a record
unprecedented in the history of execu
tive appointments. Colonel Morrow
of Warronsburg , Mo. , chief of the ox-
ccutivo division in the olllco of the sec
retary of the senate , is quoted aa saying :
"Never since I have been hero have so
few as three men failed of confirmation ,
and never was there a session during
which some name was not rejected , all
of which goes to show that the president
has boon very careful in making ap
pointments and that the semite is fully
satisfied ofit. "
Ono of the conspicuous features of
President Harrison's administration has
boon his conscientious and painstaking
investigation of the qualifications and
merits of persons whom ho has been
asked to appoint to olllco. No duty devolving -
volving upon the chief executive more
severely trios his judgment , his discre
tion and his solicitude for the highest
interests of the public than this. In the
performance of this important function
President Harrison has boon fearless ,
independent and impartial. The per
fect poi&o of his judicial mind has not
been unsettled by the considerations of
personal or partisan advantage which so
often influence executive action , and
neither favoritism on his own part nor
on the part of his personal or political
friends has decided the fate of any can
didate.
There * could bo no higher nroofsof the
president's sincere and earnest devotion
to the best interests of the pcoplo than
nro shown in the record of Ills appoint
ments. Ho has selected for positions of
trust/and responsibility the host mon ho
could find. In this as in all other acts
of I/is administration ho has boon faith
ful' to the trust reposed in him by the
pijoplo. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

BKK publishes this morning n
comparative statement of the wages re
ceived .by mechanics and laborers in
Omaha and in London , which wo com
mand to the careful perusal of working-
men. The facts rogardintr wages in the
English capital wore obtained from the
most authentic sources and wo are pre
pared to vouch unqualifiedly for their
accuracy. The figures given for Omaha
can bo verified by any ono who will tnko
the trouble to raalco an investigation.
The showing is largely in favor of the
American wprklngmon. The brick
layer In Omaha is able to earn twicoand
one-third as much weekly as the brick
layer in. London ; the Omaha stonemason
and plumber receive moro than twice
the pay of the men in these trades in
London ; the English plasterer , in ex
ceptional circumstances , can earn $ l,7/ / >
a day , while hero plasterers are paid $1
a day ; In London masons and cnrpon-
torn are paid 18 cents an hour , and in
Omaha this class of skilled workmen
got from 2o to ISO cents per hour. In all
other mechanical pursuits an equally
wldo dllYorenco exists in favor of Ameri
can worklngmon. In other employ
ments , aa clerks , street car mon and
common laborers , the wages in Omaha
are at least double that paid in London
for like service.
It Is a common Impression that the
earnings of labor abroad buy moro than
hero , but this is very largely n fallacy.
Wo glvo figures which show that most
of the necessaries coal its much In Lon
don as in Omaha , and some are higher
in the Kngliah city , particularly meals ,
of which , by the way , the average workIngman -
Ingman in England gets very little.
llousu runts in London are somowhnt
lower than hero , but prosperous Ameri
ca n worlcingmon would not bo content
with the homos of the great majority of
their English brother worlcingmon.
The American mechanic demands ac
commodations which the Englishman
would not think of asking.
The comparison of wugoa between
Omaha and London will hold good as to
mot of thn uitiea of the country , or at
nny rate of the weP. tn fuel the wages
of meclinnk-s in several western cities
nro higher than hero. Hut our purpose
is simply to show , by Indisputable facts ,
the gt-oat advantage which the working
people of this immediate section enjoy
over similar classes of labor In the
inotropolii of England , where labor Is
bettor pnlu than In nny other part of
Europe. As to the reasons for this , they
cannot fall to suggest themselves to
every intelligent worUlnirman , and ob
viously the principal ono will bo found
In that American policy which in pro-
motintr the industrial development of
the country and advancing the general
prosperity creates n steadily expanding
market for all forms of labor. The
facts we present murlt the attention of
all classes of pcoplo and nro of special
interest to the working classes.
The system of associated charities in
augurated in Omaha last fall established
its claim to public confidence and sup
port. It accomplished a most valuable
work in the Interest of a judicious and
discriminating charity , so that much
good was clone whore there was a proper
demand charitable rollof and the
evils incident to indiscriminate alms
giving reduced. An incorporation has
since boon effected , under the title of
"Associated Charities of Omaha , " the
primal object of which Is to systomatl'/.o
and organize and bring into harmonious
co-operation the charities and alms
giving of the city , In order , among other
things , to furnish such immediate and
temporary relief to these in distress as
each case socms to demand.
This undertaking is in the highest
degree commendable and should resolve
the hearty and generous encouragement
of all persons who are disposed to help
the work of systematic charity in this
community. Everybody who has given
the matter tiny attention knows that
tlioro are numerous evils connected
with the dispensation of charity through
various channels and by indiscriminate
_ giving. Impostors thrive , street bog-
gliur is encouraged , and unworthy per
sons obtain alms at the expense of these
who need and deserve them. It is pro
posed by the plan of Associated charities ,
which has worked admirably wherever
adopted , to do away as far as possible
with these annoyances and evils by the
co-operation ot all existing , societies of
the city , churches , county and oity
otllcinls and charitable individuals act
ing under a system that will insure
prompt ami satisfactory results over the
whole HalJ of charitable woi-k. .
There can bo no question as to the
wisdom and expediency of this plan and
there ought to bo none regarding the
success of the association , financial or
otherwise. An annual payment of $ o or
n contribution ot not loss than $100 will
secure a membership In the association
nncl tills ought to insure an ample fund
for meeting every proper demand. The
time for the charitably disposed to give
attention to this matter is now. so that
when the urcont call comes from the
indigent and helpless the association
shall bo in condition to respond to it.

A prominent Uritish iron "trade jour-
.nal , the Birmingham Jlunlwdn , 3fcttLt
< tml .Machinery , in commenting upon the
dilllcultius at Homestead , expresses
itself thus : > llf the strike continues
nobody but those directly concerned can
bo seriously inconvenienced , as con-
sumotHof iron can draw all their require
ments from this sido. It is already
reported that the import duty has boon
suspended by the United States. "
This shows how eagerly and covetously
the British manufacturers are watching
the industries of this country and how
ready they are to take advantage of any
opportunity that may bo offered them
to swoop down upon the American mar
ket and crush the opposition which now
prevents thorn from regaining their
former supremacy hero. But the
journal quoted is too sanguine by far.
The import duty on foreign iron and
stool products has not boon suspended
by the United States , nor has such a
thing boon thought of. That its sus
pension would immediately produce the
result bo earnestly hoped for by our
English competitors cannot bo doubted ,
and that is why tno American people
will refuse to open the gate to the
powerful commercial rival on the other
side of the Atlantic. Consumers of
iron in this country do not wish to
"draw all their requirements" from
thatBldo. Every American clti/on can
BOO at ft glance what that would moan.
It would simply mean the prostration of
ono of our greatest industries , un in
dustry upon which many thousands of
pcoplo are directly and indirectly de
pendent and ono .that is sure to become
yet groalor , omploylncr thousands of mon
in addition to these to which it now
gives work , if its market is protected
from the powerful British rivals who
are lying in wait for a ohanco to break
it clown. The American workingman
will take care that political changes
which would realize the hope of the
English manufacturer shall not take
place at present.
Tin : Germans of Omaha , who comprise -
priso a largo and very important part
of the population of the city , are making
arrangements for the observance of
"Gorman day , " October 0 , the anniver
sary of the landing of the first Germans
ill America. Tlioro will bo n concert
and ball at Exposition hall and ad
dresses by prominent Gorman orators.
This element of our population , though
thoroughly Identified with the institu
tions , the manners and the customs of
tils ) country , is yet mindful of the
lathorlund , and all Germans cherish
patriotic memories of the country which
they loft behind when they sought more
"promising Holds of activity for their
hands and brains In the now world. The
celebration of this anniversary will be
an event of general interest to the com
munity.
TIIK forthcoming annual report of
Omaha's superintendent of schools will
present some interesting facts relative
to the growth of the schoolu of this city ,
which now take rani : among the best In
the land. An Increase of 5' J in the total
ctirol'.uiout ' of pupils is certainty a good
showing for n' jjij lo year , and nn nvor-
ngo dally nttoml nco of 10,370 out of n
total onrollindiWJdf 14,625 affords ovl-
donco that thoij/jlls ! } { / { nro not wasting
the opportuniUm offered thorn. The
Increase ot liU'frt'lho ' ' attendance at the
High .school , rojiffjiie u total of 7-1.7 , Is
gratifying as Showing that the desire
for higher education Is rapidly extend
ing from ycaiyciyon-r , It Is also very
gratifying to no.'o that sixty of the 205
leachois oinpmy&l lii our schoolsp.ro
graduates of tlmi igh school. The pro
portion of High tfohool graduates In the
ranks of our tonchors will naturally tn-
oroaso each year , and this will bo con
ducive to the welfare of the schools , for
it will place thorn In charge of Instruc
tors thoroughly familiar with our educa
tional system. It should bo a matter ot
pride to every citizen of Omahtv that
her schools are prosperous and rapidly
extending . the wholesome Influences of
education in this community.
TUB question whether the World's
fair is to remain closed on Sunday Is
ullll being agitated. The demand for
opening the fair now comes from the In
dustrial classes * The international con
vention of carpenters and joiners re
cently bold at St. Louis took the Initia
tive by resolving to arouse all labor
unions to petition congress in December
against closing the World's fair Sun
day. Other labororganlzat'ons , notably
the Knights of Labor and the Fedora-
lion of Labor , nro in full accord with
this proposition. Commenting on this
movement the Chicago llcmld says that
it has boon the object of the friends of
Iho fair to make it in the highest degree
restful , educative .and delightful to the
entire pcoplo. It should never again bo
represented by fanatics that there is in
tent or desire to run imiohlncry Sun
days or to permit production or manual
labor of any kind that day. All that Is
doslrcd , all that has boon designed from
-the beginning , is tint the departments
of art and others ot pictorial character
not involving power or labor shall bo
open , so that during Iho ho.itod term of
the fair year hundreds of thousands of
people shall have not only protection
from the sun their ono day of rest , but
have nltio tlio opportunity for solf-
improvement that a great international
exposition involves.
IT WILL bo a very serious disappoint

pew to Europe tijiij no connection .what

A paragraph was .started on Us rounds
some time ago that ba < > done Injustice to a
patriot's memory. It was to the otToct that
Matthew Thornton , a signer of Iho Declara
tion of Inccpondenco , oecamo an English
sympathizer after the war with Great Brit-
am , and that bis bones are now lying In a
dishonored grave in a Canadian border vil
la go. Thornton never wovurcil in his loyalty
to the canso of tbo colonists , and dlod lull of
honors at Nowburyport lu 1S03. Above his
grave tit Thornton's Perry , N. II. , stands a
marble slab Inscribed With hisnnmo and ago ,
and tbo epitaph "An HoticstMan. " Further
more , the Now Hampshire legislature In 1837
voted 81.000 for n monument to bo placed
over his grave.

Sunday Is the ono day of the week that the
great mass of the people can attend the
World's fair. It Is tbo unly day of the seven
that hundreds of thousands of people can at
tend at all. The receipts on Sunday , basing
the calculation upon otboroxhlbltlons , would
bo about double tbo receipts on any other
duv.
duv.This
This being true , can tbo World's fair afford
to accept $2,500,000 in souvenir half dollars ]
Like the Indian's gun , will it not cost moro
than it will come tot Chicago can far bot-
tnr afford to decline this elft and ralso the
money from Its own resources than to accept
it under a condition which will close the ex
hibition to many thousands of its citizens
and the citizens of other towns , who , If they
cannot attend on Sunday , will bo unable to
avail themselves of tbo bu-notits of tbo fair at
nil.
Patriotism fur KIIVUIIUO.
The ( Jp'.n Com I.
Patriotism , lu tbo form of symbols , Is moro
practical In Chicago than clnowncro , because
tbo people are moro enterprising thoro. Such
a loyal and profuse display of Star Spangled
Banner Is not scon iu any other town. Most
of our merchants nro so devoted to tbo flug
and so rotolvod to honor U that they use It as
u window blind. On a summer day , when
tbo blinds are drawn down to slmdo the
goods In the windows , tbo sunny sldo of the
streets has a very beautiful appearance , as If
the town bad actually boon painted red ,
wblto mid blue. Some of our business mon
dcrorato these Hags with boroio legends , suoh
as "fino Imported cigar * . " "I'llsonor boor , "
"Froo luuch , " "Tho Bucklnchaml'alace res
taurant ; try our 2.cont dlnnor , " "Watches
and Jawelry , " "Bargains iu hats , " "An egg
with every drink , " and many other
useful mottoes of similar kind. Wo
are the only pcoplo In tbo worla
who hnvo ( mercantile spirit onoueb
to advcrtlsoour wares on tbo national Hag.
There are some people ? , over tbo oa , who
bavo n Bontlmontal devotion ton national
Hag as on omblomof national glory , suffering
and bopo. Tboy are not practical , and they
nro so weak and tender of conscience tbattboy
will not allow their Hag to bo mod ns a win
dow bliaO , nor as an advertising placard ;
and I know several Americans who nro
sensitive in the same way. They religiously
refuse to outer any shop or moro where tbo
American Hag Is uiod ui oil advertising
medium or for revenue only.

At tbo National betel are John A. Ulaok-

Is from ( lUthrlo , GUI. , and Isprosontliigsomo
largo land claims before the departments.
Mr. Soott halls from the Sovontb congros-

hold on the IlUb ot this month , and Mr. Scott
has boon working from this end of the line
Simpson's ronomluatlou before the con
vention , In tbo event of which , bo says , the
success of tbu third party is well assured.
Tbo general plan of campaign marked out for
the coming elections In tbo state , Mr. Scott
says , Is the coalition of the democrats with
thn third party.
One of the things which U troubling the
people In the southern section the most , bo
says , Is the presence of myriads ot cattle In
tbo Choroltuo strip in open disregard of tbo

The warning circular sent out by the civil
service commissioners on the subject of
political njsis mnnU was generally dis
cussed In thn government departments yos-
torduy and today. The ndvluo of tbo com
missioners Is not distasteful to the average
public oftlcial at this time , for many of thorn
are averse to giving up - or U par cent of
their annual salary when so ranch doubt
enters IrTlo the coming election. Ono of Juy
Ilubbcll's most ofllciont and able lieuten
ants , discussing this subject today , said that
the practice of collecting for the campaign is
now a lost art among government employes.
When Jay llubboll was in charge of a cam
paign fu id years ngo moro thnn $30,000 was
collected from the employes of the Treasury
dopaitm-nt alonu. Tbo other de-
partninti were equally llbor.il. Tbo
contrilut ons wore called donations ,
but cirtiin employes wore designated

tributors wcro under tbo Impression that It

was a case "glvo up" or
Under tbo existing law , and In view of tbo
proclamation of Messrs. Hooscvolt & Co. ,
campaign contributions cannot t > o col
lected In the departments. Neither can gov
ernment employes give or receive such con
tributions from their associates. Tboro is ,
however , nothing in tno law to prevent these
who are llrod with partisan zeal sending
their contributions to Mr. Ilarrlty or Mr.
Carter. '
Tbo president does not escape all work by
going to Loon Latco. Tbo executive war
rants and commissions must still bo signed ,
and tbo mall which comes to the pryjluent's
desk In Washington is still forwarded to
him. Hut ull of this business will coma to
the president nt Loon Lake by mall or an oc
casional messenger and all of It can bo dis
posed of at one time.
The president has taken with him bis con-
Ildontlal stenographer , E. F. Tlbbott , and
Mr. Tlbbott , will open his mall and prepare
it for his consideration each morning , and
the president and ho will dispose of It all
probably iu nn hour or two. Then tbo presi
dent can devote tbo greater part ot the day
to recreation or to bis letter nccoptlng the
republican nomination for the presidency.
This letter of acceptance will occupy much
of the president's time and thought while bo
is at Loon Luke. When It is comnleted ho
will send it to Washington and It will be
given out to the country.
Private Secretary ilnlford remains In
Washington and looks after tbo routine work
at tbo wblto house. Some mail will bo ad
dressed to tbo president direct. Mr. Tibbolt
will sort this out and will return to the white
housn all letters which are not of personal
interest to tbo president.
U'liuro to AililroHs thu President.
The greater part of the mall in fact al
most ull of It will come to Washington. The
average correspondent will save tlmu oy ud-
droslng tbo president at thn executive man
sion , Washington. His latter will not got to
the president any sooner for Doing addressed
to Loon Lake and , what Is more important , it
will got to Mr. Halford much lator.
bo long as tbo telegraph connects Loon
Lake and Washington the president might
almost as well bo in bis oftlco as in tbo moun
tains , so far as anxiety is concornod. Hois
in constant touch with oftlcial business and
ho Is likely to bo summoned ut any moment
to consider some grave question requiring
quick decision. When ho was at Saratoga
recently , ho had to talio up the Idaho labor
troubles and issue orders by telegraph cal
ling out tbo troops. Ono thing bo will be
spared , though. Tbo Lonn Lake telegraph
o 111 co is not open at night und the president
therefore will not bn aroused at outlandish
hours to rend telegrams , as has happened
moro than once in Washington ,
During the Indian outbreaks and other un
expected troubles tbo president bus been
called out of bed at.'J and ' ) o'clock and on
more than one occasion ho bus had to send
for members of hla cabinet to hold un Impor-
tant consultation at : t o'clock in the morning.
As for Secretory Halford , hardly n nlrfht
passes tbiU ho Is not dragged out of bed nt
least once to rend a tologrnm or nnswor n
call on the telephone.
