That the west Is enjoying a fair meas
ure of i.rospnrlly no one will question
who Is .it ull familiar with the prevail
ing conditions. The splendid crops of
last year , which wore marketed at an
advanced price that gave a good margin
of profit , enabled the western farmers
to pay off many millions of Indebted
ness , to make needed improvements anrt
generally to materially bettor tholr
condition. Tlio largo crops of the
present year , though considerably loss
In ( | uunlity than these of 1S01 , have had
the olToct to lower prices , but not to
entirely swoop away profits , the state
ment of the calamity unoplo to the con
trary notwithstanding. Tl'o fanners of
the west will not got as much money for
their products , taken as n whole , in 1&02
as they did last year.but there Is no
probability that they will 'oso ' on nny-
thlnir they have produced. There will
bo loss foreign demand for tholr grain
than last year , because Europe has been
favo od with comparatively good crops ,
but the homo consumption will undoubt
edly bo found to have increased , so that
there is no great probability of carrying
over a larger surplus than It is safe to
have against the possibility of a poor
croo year. With respect to all products
which depend entirety upon the homo
market prices are well maintained and
there is no reason to suppose that they
will nut continue to bo.
There appears to bo. nowhere in the
west any complaint , of an insulllclent
supply of money for all legitimate pur
poses. In Nebraska the banUs generally
have a plethora , and money can be had
on acceptable security at a lower rate
of interest than over before. It is esti
mated that the deposits in banUs other
than savings institutions in this stale
exceed in amount 850,000,000 , or about
S")0 nor capita of the population , and a
considerable proportion of this belongs
to farmers. The situation in Iowa is
about the same , and , indeed , everywhere
in the west there seems to bo an
abundance of money , which bankers arc
ready to loan at reasonable rates on
proper security. In a word , there lias
never been a time when money was eas
ier or cheaper in the west than it is now
for those who have the credit or col
lateral which the owners of money re-
quiro.
Such being the situation , there is ob
viously no substantial ground for the
claim of the calamity prophets that the
western people are not prosperous and
that the reason is in the fact that thoio
is not money enough. These persons
do not discriminate between a genuine
probpority and the superficial specula
tive activity which Is created by an In
flated and irredeemable currency. If
their financial policy wore to prevail it
would undoubtedly produce : i degree of
activity which some people would regard
as an evidence of prosperity. As nobody
would care to keep money that was cer
tain to steadily depreciate everybody
having such money would seek to in vest
it in something , and thus a speculative
boom would bo inauuurated that would
run its course in a few years , when a col
lapse of the financial balloon would en
sue and every thing would tumble down
to Us legitimate value. Then would
i-onio the necessity of providing for the
redemption of the fiat currency and the
people would bo given a long and bitter
lesson , in the folly of stimulating an
artificial prosperity by Hooding the
country . with paper promises to pay.
Doubtless , some would profit by such a
plan , but they would not bo of the pro
ducing or laboring chibses , who were
compelled to sell their toil and its pro
ducts for a steadily depreciating cur
rency. These classes ) would not only bo
the principal losers while the process of
inflation and depreciation went on , but
when the inevitable reaction came they
would have to bear the chief purl of the
burden in returning to a normal and
legitimate financial condition.
TllK MONKTAllY COAFMIBA'CE.
It has finally boon arranged that the
international monetary conference ,
called at the instance of the government
of the United States , will muet at Brus
sels , the capit-il of Belgium , November
22. Tlio matter of selecting a place ap
pears to have been the subject of consid
erable dibcunsion , though why any one
point should have been regarded as es
pecially preferable to another is not
quite api > arcnt. There was parhaps a
little stronger and hotter arfftiinont in
favor of London than of any other Euro
pean city in the fact that for the object
of the conference it is desirable to exert
as much inlluonce as possible upon Brit
ish public opinion , and obviously-this
could bo best done if the conference wore
held in the English capital , which is
albo the world's financial capital , but
undoubtedly the English people will bo
given full opportunity to study the de
liberations of the conference.
Probidont Harrison said in his letter
of acceptance that wo may not only
hope for but oxpenl highly beneficial
robiilts from this conference. "When
the result of the conference Is known , "
rtiiid the profldont , "wo slinll then bo
able intelligently to readjust our finan
cial legislation to any now conditions. "
This hopeful view of the president is
not shared very largely by financiers ,
who cannot lose sight of the fact that
past conferences with practically the
*
same objects as the one to moot did not
accomplish anything , and although it
may bo granted that the conditions
have somewhat changed , it Is not clear
Unit they are more favorable to an in
ternational arrangement regarding sil
ver. There have been within the past
year or two some encouraging signs of
n growth of public opinion in England
In f ivor of bimetallism , but there is no
inlluonlial sentiment favorable to silver
among the financiers of Great Britain
whoao judgment would have a controll
ing weight with tlio government , and
thoio Is certainly no reason to expect
f i om Mr. Gladstone any encouragement
for u larger use of silver. Ab to the
continental countries of Kuropo , none of
them has recently ohown any disposi
tion to promote the cause of silver.
Germany Is controlled In this matter
almost absolutely by the position of
England , and her leading linuneiors are
opposed to any change In her financial
policy. Franco appears to bo perfectly
satisfied with the existing state ol
things. She is enjoying greater pros
perity thuu any other European country
and under such circumstances will not
bo disposed to try any financial oxpurl-
merit. Austria has for some time boon
preparing to got on a gold basis andean
hardly bo oxpootod to do much to ad
vance the cause of silver. The other
countries that will participate in the
conference there are seventeen in all
will have very little influence upon
the deliberations.
From this view of the situation , there
fore , It would seem that little is to bo
oxpoctcd from the conference of a prac
tical character , but whatever the result
It cannot bo entirely without value , for
wo shall at least lonrn from It the cur
rent opinion of the European world on
this very Important subject , nnd this
should enable us , as the president has
said , to Intelligently readjust our llnnn-
cuil legislation to any now conditions.
When the conference shall have com
pleted Its deliberations wo will know
definitely whether wo can hope for tin
International agreement regarding sil
ver or must deal with the question of a
silver currency Independently of Eu
rope.
In every city there are some people
who have to bo helped during the winter -
tor season. Some of them are victims of
accident and misfortune ami others nro
In distress on account of thrifttossnoss
nnd dissolute habits. It la very dlIll-
cult , If not almost impossible , for people
who are disposed to relieve the dis
tressed , food the hungry and clothe the
naked to ascertain who is or is not
worthy of their charity. Quito often
they are imposed on by vagabonds and
professional beggars of both sexes ,
while the really meritorious poor , from"
modesty or a lack of physical force , are
obliged to sulTor and go unaided. It has
Oecn the experience of all great cities
that the greatest good to the greatest
n umber of worthy poor can only bo done
by a Hystomatio and organized charity.
It was to meet this requirement that
the Associated Charities of Omaha was
recently incorporated by a number of
prominent citizens who have Interested
themselves In organized charity. The
plan of the organization is to do chari
table work under a system that will in
sure relief to thoio who are needy and
worthy. Ills a well known fact that
many who would cheerfully and gladly
give for worthy objects are often at a
losa to determine whether those seeking
aid are deserving of help. It is a part
of the duty of the Associated Charities
to investigate all cases of want and to
direct the money contributed into proper
channels. The membership of the or
ganization has not come up to the ex
pectation ? of its projectors and they de
sire all charitable people in Omaha to
come forward undaia in the work which
they have undertaken. Those wishing
to promote the success of this worthy
undertaking are requested to send their
names and subscriptions to the treasurer ,
Alfred U. Kennedy , in the Board of
Trade building. The board of directors
desire to plan the winter's work at once
nnd it is very important that all who
are willing to co-operate should immedi
ately communicate with the treasurer.
A DincoiiiAm.1)
The advantage which the republican
party derives from the tariff issue is
duo in bomo measure to the fact that
England , the chief commercial rival of
this country , is profoundly stirred by
the prospect of a continuance of the
pi'cbcnt protective tariff in * the United
States. It is a natural inference , and
one that will occur to the mind of every
man who trives attention to the subject ,
that a policy which gives us an advant
age over our most formidable rival and
causes complaint on her part must bo
highly advantageous to us. The present
attitude of the British press shows that
the protective policy of this country is
regarded with great apprehension and
that the success of the free trade democ
racy in' the approaching election is
earnestly hoped for by all whoso Inter
ests are stiikud upon the prosperity ol
the English manufacturers. ThoLlvor-
pool L'clw says that "tho Welsh tin plate
Industry Is ruined , " nnd adds : "On
Saturday several additional proprietors
connected with the Welsh tin plate
trade closed their works in consequence
of the depression in tlio British trade
caused l > y the operation of the McKinley
tariff act. The mills are stopped at
sixty tin plato works in South Wales
and it is estimated that upwards of
10,000 workmen are thrown out of om-
plovinout. A largo number of operat
ives , with their families , sailed on Sat
urday for the United Statns , where now
mills are now balng oroclod by Welsh
proprietors. "
This is a very strong argument in be
half of our protective policy. It is not
the purpose of the advocates of protoc-
tlon to cripple and Impoverish the in
dustries and w.igooarnoM of England ,
but If they suffer incidentally from the
enforcement of that policy on the part
of this country , it cannot bo holpod.
The same paper quoted above has this :
"Undoubtedly , falling the success tit the
presidential polling of Mr. Cleveland ,
who haa pledged hia p.irty to a revenue
tariff , the future of British manufac
tures and of all the subsidiary industries
depending upon them is dark Indeed. "
Such utterances prove conclusively
that England has taken sides with the
democracy nnd that the republican
policy of protecting the interest * ol
American manufactories and wage
earners is regarded with great disfavor
by our neighbors across the sea because
It givcs.us an advantage over thorn In
the market. This Is the boat possible
proof of the wisdom of protecting homo
Industries as a means of promoting out1
own success In the fierce competition in
which wo are engaged.
Great Britaiii has no just cause for
complaint against our tariff policy. She
has always sought to destroy our indus
tries. From the earliest days of this re
public to the pvesont it has been openly
avowed by English statesmen that
American manufacturing interests
should never bo permitted to
thrive. This country has boon looked
upon by Englishmen as a market and
not as a source of competition. It now
appears that 'the American manufac
turer , encouraged by n protective tariff ,
Is competing so vigorously and effect
ively against the manufacturers of Eng <
land that the latter are filled with alum
and ITO taking a lively interest In the
efforts of the democratic party to estab
lish free trade. No Vnrui could ask for
bettor evidence thntiilhis of the effect
iveness of the prodohb protective policy
as a moans of prC rftiVlng the interests
upon which the prosperity of this coun
try largely doponUs. >

The emigration Ironi thd port of Glns-
gow for tlio eight , months ending on
September 1 was us follows ! For Aus
tralia , -13 ; for Canada , 1,050 ; for the
United States , 200i7. Considering that
' ) (
Glasgow Is n BrlUp'li port nnd that Aus
tralia and Canada ) are British colonies it
Is somewhat signfrtciint that only ono-
tenth of the emigrants from that plnco
should hnvo sought homos under the
British flag , while nine-tenths come to
the United States. It Is well known
that Australia and Canada are desirous
of securing immigrants , but they are
nevertheless setting tholr faces toward
this country , and are Increasing our
population by millions every year.
Those who come from Great Britain are
but a small fraction of the tot.il number
of foreigners who are Booking our shores
and making homos for themselves under
our flag.
To those who look for the reasons
underlying this preference for the
United States it will readily appear
that our free Institutions and superior
advantages for getting on in life are the
prime attractions. Foreigners are not
ignorant of the fact that the American
people are the most prosperous nnd
independent people on earth. The
knowledge of this cannot be concealed
from them , notwithstanding that , every
effort is made to dissuade British sub
jects from seeking homes In this coun
try. There is abundant room for them
in the various British provinces ; but
they seem to prefer America and free
institutions. Most of all they prof CM n
country In which the interests of thn
poor man nro protected and promoted
by laws especially suited to his needs.
A very largo proportion of the Immi
grants are of the wage earning class ,
but they are ambltuous to save money
and join the producing class and in a
short Unto most of them will bo land
owners. A very large proportion of
them will settle In tlio boundless west
and apply themselves to the develop
ment of its vast resources. This is
what comes of protecting the interests
of our own people. It increases out
population and our producing power
and thus contributes steadily to the
wealth of the country. In the future as
in the past this policy will bo fruitful of
good results and will enforce the admi
ration and emulation of the world.
STOP THA
The Board of Education has made an
other exhibition 6 , it ack of good busi
ness sense and law knowledge by mak
ing a formal domnn.3 upon the city
council for the $21 000' , " which had been
contributed from the school fund toward
the erection of tho" 'city hall building.
The reason assigned , for this demand is
that the rooms which had been sot
apart for the Board o ( 'Education in the
city hall bullding.aro not exactly what
ho membeis and officers of the board
would like to got.
Now wo should ! , like to know what
right the council has to take $21,000 out
of the city hall fund and pay it over to
the school board. The money which the
hoard contributed four years ago toward
the building was expondou in the ex
cavation and foundations. The money
now remaining in iho city hnli fund is
the surplus of the proceeds from the
sale of bonds voted by the people for the
erection of tlio city hall and for nc
other purpose. That money cannot
legally bo diverted into the school fund
or any other fupd. The council has nc
right to use any of this fund except for
the specific purpose for which it was
authorized by the people. But if the
council actually had the right to pay
back the money which the school poard
had contributed for perpetual quarter ;
in the city building , good business sonst
would dictate that the request should
not bo granted.
The quarters assigned to the board
may not bo as convenient or as palatial
as Mioy expected them to bo , but they
are certainly a great improvement on
the present quarters for which the
board is paying rent. They are in
fireproof building and are accessible b/
elevator ; they .ire provided with large
vaults which the board needs for the
bafukeoping of school house plans tint :
documents.
The now public library building will
bo finished within eighteen months anil
possibly within a year. When the
library Is moved from the city hall
building the school board will bo able
to occupy the great chamber in which
the library will temporarily bo located.
It is therefore senseless for the board tc
persist In its demand upon the council
and Its refusal to accommodate itbolf tc
existing conditions.
Suppose the members ot the bourt
wore paying the rent out of their owi :
pockets and they had an offer of free
quarters In a fireproof building-that did
1191 quite moot the fancy of some of tlioli
subordinates , woul < -thoy J hesitate a mo

The editor of the Pioneer has known both
men belter than any one in Knox county
'
knows them. Mr. Hosowatnr Is by no moan's
perfect , but ho is of that disposition and
lomuorumcnt that make what faults ho has
come out clearly to men , and , while moro
conservative and careful than ho was n
dozen years ago , ho 11 no loss honest In sen
sible relief for the people nnd the general
good of the state Ho Is oosltlvo , perhaps
too dlctutorial by reason of his position , and
to outsiders it loolis unreasonable. Hut that
ho is u political general , with the host taste
of whnt constitutes good government and
good ofllcials , and u wondertul discernment
ol iho pol'ticul ' situations of the state , cannot
bu disputed. Ho can , too , overlook u man's
houcst mistakes , but ho is not known to have
forgiven anybody's political crimes.
On the oilier baud stands ( Joucral Van
Wyck rich , dictatorial nnd a political
mountebank whose service In the United
States senate , while espousing the cause of
the people , wus a mocuery behind the cur
tain. liettor than anybody in Kuox county
does the editor of the Pioneer know the
treachery , the dishonest deals and the dis
honest men General Van Wyck uphold as
United Slates senator , not because there
wus policy iu such recognition , but because
there was money in it for them.
General Loose was acknowledged to bo
the boot uttoruoy general for the people that
Nebraska has over had. In the last republi
can convention that placed him in nomina
tion , when the railroads of the stuto anOeav-
ored to kill him , General Van Wyclt was a
member of the Otoo county delegation , which
voted against his renominatloii. After the
convention the editor of the Pioneer saw
General Lecsc in tlio Capital hotel and asked
bl iu to explain why it was that Van Wyck ,
who nretcndeil to bo an anti-monopolist , did
not vote for his ronoiniimtlon. All that
General Leoso could answer was , "Will you

Ni.YOAitt FAU.I , N. Y.t Oct. 3. Two
painters , oncugod in repairing the cables and
; uy ropes of the cantilever bridge across
Niagara river yesterday , bad swung a
slender scaffold -00 feet above the stream on
which to do tholr work. They were both
Canadians , one from Montreal named Joseph
Graves and the other named William Garnet.
At last they engaged in a terrlllo hand-to-
hand struggle , in which Graves nearly lost
his life. Who started the quarrel no ono
knows , but Garnet lost bis tamper , grabbed
a hatchet nud threatened to brain bis com
panion. Graves grasped hia wrist , but
Gaiuot was the stronger , and pressed him to
the edge of the scaffold , threatening to hurl
him into the river.
To save himself from fulling Graves
loosened his hold on Garnet's wrist and
grasped at a rope. Three quick , bbnrp blows
were rained upon him by thn enraged jissull-
ant. Two fell on bis back nnd ono split open
his scalp back of the loft ear. Ho siuggared ,
lost bis hold und fell , but was caught be
tween the euy ropes , wheio ho lay out of
reach of the other.
Witn the blood streaming from his cuts ,
Graves climbed hand overhand up the cables
to the oridgo floor. Gaiuot followed , hatchet
in hand. Hero other workmen Interfered.
Thn wounded man wasborno to the Canadian
shore , where surgeons were summoned and
dressed his wounds. It Is doubtful whether
ho can livo. Gamot escaped while Graves
was being attended to.
