Poor Kansas ! OMAHA is making a bettor showing in its clearing house record than any of its competitors , New York and Chicago in cluded. PRESIDENT CLEVELAND'S return to Washington ought to give a decided im petus to the work of the democratic headsmen. IT IS conceded that the American Na tional bank will resume business this month. That fact alone will help to alear up the financial atmosphere here abouts. PHOSPECTS point toward the ro- sumption of the suspended national bank at A'sliland. The banks are turning tables andou-fl beginning a run for ro- ( flumption. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ EACH successive Grand Army encamp ment shows an increasing numbar of ab sentees whd have answered the last roll call.

But our worthy mayor forgot to say thatethomilk in that cocoanut was the 25-cont admissions to the monkey show. THE crowded advertising columns of today's BKE afford indisputable evidence that the business rnonof this community Jiavo recovered from the lack of con fidence lately manifested among some of thorn. WHEN the United States senate con descends to do business upon Saturday and forego one of its usual weekly holi days , re may bo snro that it has come to appreciate the urgency of the business before it. THE WorM-ITerald is deaf to the "mute appeals" Tor the money it raised for the relief of victims of the Shivorick flro. If the Fake Mill does not disgorge pretty soon those appeals will lose the quality qf muteness. THE people of Iowa are having their eyes opened to the fact that Boies has been nominated f r governor only as a running mate for Bestow. They prefer to got along without "Governor" Bestow now and for all timo. TiiE-accttraoy of our system of treas ury accounting was again demonstrated last week by the completion of the count of $7-10,817,410 turned ever by the last treasurer to his successor without error amounting to a slnglo cent. THE Omaha city mission proposes to establish a charity rock pile. That , is the moat unpopular thing they hitvo over projected. An invitation to pa- tronlzo the mission rock pile will bo indignantly spurned by the professional vagrant as if ho was tendered lodgings in the pesthouso. THE Park commission considered the subject of finding n lit natno for the now park known as the Parker tract. ' The discussion proves that the commissioners had not given much thought to the mat- tor. Is it possible that among the hon ored founders of this city , now dead , there is no name that could be thus Im inortullzud ? LAST week 40,000 hogs were received at the South Omaha yards , aa against 17,000 the corresponding week of last year. Thcro was also a fair increase in cattle receipts , while firmer prices and n bettor fooling generally prevailed idm the market. The demands of sal packers wore active , which ad to the bettor prices , and the outlook for the future la full of promise.

After six ycar3of persistent struggle to secure legislative Independence for Ireland a struggJn which the enlight ened world has watched with eager and unceasing Interest and which has com manded the profound sympathy of every frlond of popular tolf-govornmcnt Gladstone has carried through the a IIouso of Commons a measure of homo rule and crowned a magnificent career of statesmanship with Its grandest achievement. The world understands Unit this consummation does not sccuro to Ireland that right of self-government which the great majority of lior people ask and justice demands. It Is , after nil , but little more thai ! rv.promise , against the present realization of which stands the now Impregnable power of the British ai-lstocracy intrenched In the IIouso of Lords. Yet It Is a promise full of hope and encouragement , for it comes from the massed of the people , and hav ing giv.ou it there is every reason to believe Unit they will continue loyal to it until It be fulfilled. The long and try Ing battle for juctlco to Ireland , which forms ono of the most extraordinary clmptors in human history , must bo still further prolonged , but it will be fought out under somewhat different conditions from these of the past. British public opinion has been steadily advancing in the dircotlon of a larger o.xorclso of popular rights and of a greater partic ipation of the masses in the affairs of government. The suffrage , relieved of the limitations and the restrictions of a few years ago , has given to nearly all the people the right of representation. What the masses of Englishmen enjoy and cherish in this respect they will not deny u > Irishmen , and if a IIouso of Lords obstinately persists In Ignoring and defying the popular will the peoplu will deprive it of its prerogatives and if need be sweep it out of existence. With Mr. Gladstone the intelligent massns of Great Britain have faith in national liberty , und like him also they will repel - pel the charge that any particular branch of the race is incapable of self- govormnont "when every other branch has displayed capability on the same sxtbjcct and has attained to success which Is an example to the world. " The power of wealth and of class inlluonco is undoubtedly still strong in England , but it is declining , and it will gain nothing by the rejection of the homo rule bill by the House of Lords. Nevertheless it is not doubted that the peers will reject the measure , and probably without much delay. Of their constitutional right , to do this there is no question. What may follow this action is not now foreshadowed. It will furnish no reason for dissolution , and the presumption is that the majority in the House of Commons will go on with the legislation it has proposed to adopt , embracing matters of great importance to the country. Mr. Gladstone undoubtedly has his program for the future fully porparcd and , it is safe to say , there will no hesitation in carrying it into effect. Meanwhile the grand old man main- tains hla place among the greatest statesmen of the century , and every where throughout the civilized worl'l the hearts of men who bollovo in the principle of popular solf-govornmont will respond to the acclaim that greeted Gladstone after his triumph. CREDIT ECONOMY. Economists have delighted to describe a cycle in tho'development of induatria exchange which compels nations to pass through three stages in their transaction ? that of barter , that of money and thai of credit. Credit they say is the dis tinguishing feature of modern advancot civilization , and to it they attribute in largo part the great strides that have been made in recent times in wealth and progress. But if to credit wo are to as cribe this multitude of advantages , wo must also charge to it some of the disad vantages under which wo now tabu * . Commercial crises wore unkn wn to nations which had not emerged from the stage of barter economy. They wore unimportant during the stage of money economy. They have been concomitants of the development of credit , and with every extension of that complicated system tlio recurring crisis 1ms become more severe and more disastrous. This phase of the prevailing stringency has attracted the attention of Mr. Albert C. Stevens , the editor of Jiradbtrccl's , who treats of "The Phenomenal Aspects of the Financial Crisis" in the September Forum. Ho is qutto certain that the evolution of the credit system has never before been carried so far us now and says that aside from retail trade it is demonstrable that more than 05 per cent , perhaps as much as OS per cent , of the actual business of the country in volving the transfer of products is done on credit. It is common complaint that of late the season for belling goods of various descriptions has boon beginning "oarlior , while manufacturers and jobbers are compelled to give their customers longer dating on their bills. This means dimply an extension of credit and gives the man who can make cash purchased the advantage over his competitors. Another element that hu3 insisted In making credit economy atill more com- plicated and delicate is the wldo em ployment of the mercantile agencies. These institutions are organized for the express purpobo of facilitating credit transactions and they have reached u perfection in recent yours unthought of two dociidea ago. They enable a busi ness man to do a credit business coex tensive with the country and muko every financial disaster Immediately felt in every industrial center of the United States. They have commenced to stimulate the fabric of international credit until the How of capital to and from the great financial market * is an event of every day occurrence. With the higher evolution of credit monuy and with this increasing possi 1o bility of orlBOd , wo must have now fac tors making for stability hi financial , matters. Mr. Stevens does not go into this question , but his intimation that all the most disastrous panics have boon traceable to a debased or unsound cur rency , coupled with ( speculative bank ing methods , suggests the ( irat point Icot departure. Wo must have u permanent currency system no longer subject to perpetual congressional tinkering , Tpon that as a basis wo must haven mnklng system under"n strict p'uLllo supervision which shall render Impossl- ilo any fraudulent or unsafe nmnlpnlu- Ion of the depositors' hinds/ Credit economy Is hero to remain untitrBoine- thlng more useful IB devised. , ! ' < > reap the benefits and to avoid lt § evils re quire not Its abolition but its control , TIMIl THAT IT WKllK SNUfTED OUT. There are half a do/en 'rohbons wily the children's World's fair excursion scheme should bo discouraged and dis countenanced. Two reasons , however ) should bo sulllclcnt to people of ordl- lary mental grasp. Ono r9ason Is that sending children llko sheep , n droves , would bo a , reckless lisrogard of the duty society owes to tsolf and the protection which parents and guardians owe to children. The second reason , which Is equally potent , s that the scheme involves n largo out- ay of money which should bo. ' kept in circulation in Omaha. Even nt the owost estimate it will cost from $10 to $20 for each person that goes to the World's ' fair , if they rotuVn within 'orty-olght hours. If they remain four days It will cost $10 more. In other words , the worklngmon and the business men of Omaha cannot and should not take from $30,000 to < $50,000 , out of this town at this time , when every Llollar Is needed for broad , meat and raiment. This may sound very Hellish , but wo believe that the time has come foi'snulllng the whole business out and lot its promoters evolve something that will put money inta Omaha instead of taking it out and scattering it around in Chicago under the pretense that Omaha will got a big advertisement. T11K DISTlllHUTIUff OF I'ltOPfittTl' . Ono of tlio most interesting ami valu able of the addresses at the annual meeting of the American Bar associa tion in Milwaukee , was delivered on , . , Thursday . , last by Justice Brown of the United States supreme court , his sub- jcct being1 the distribution of property. The distinguished jurist sketched tlio history of the strife between capital and labor from the days of the great strike of the Israelites , the conflicts between the Roman patricians and plebeians , the feudal lords and the merchants of the middle ages , down to the struggles of the present day , showing that strikes , so far from being peculiar to modern industrial . enterprise , are as'old ' as civil ization itself ; that they prevail most ox- tcnslvoly in the most enlightened and wealthy communities , and so far from being an indication of extreme poverty are equally as frequent in times of general - oral prosperity , and that'tha wit of' man has as yet doviscd no scheme , whereby they may bo prevented or oven alleviated. Justice Brown said that. tho. ideal state of society pictured'by some' , enthusiasts , whore neither poverty nor riches should prevail , is utterly inconsistent wi'th human character as at present constituted - stituted , and it was at 'Idast doubti ful whether such a state would * conduce as much to the ' general - oral happiness as the inequality which , excites the emulation and stimulates the energy. "Rich , mon.ho saidy."aro essential oven to the well being of the poor , It is they who , in a thousand ways , develop the resources of out country and afford employment to countless array of workingmon. Ono has but to consider for a--moment the immediate consequences ol the abolition of largo private fortunes to appreciate the danger which lurks in any radical disturbance of the present social sys tem. " Tho'oft-ropcatcd statement of certain so-called philosophers , of political doma. gogues and of irresponsible agitators , tha the rich are growinsr richer while the poor are growing poorer , Justice Brown declared to ho wholly untrue. Private fortunes in this country are larger than they have over baon before , but the con dition of the laboring class has improved in equal ratio. The workingman ro coivcs bettor wages and works shorter hours than over before , while his wages buy more of the comforts of life. ' 'Ho is bolter housed , bettor clad , bettor fed , bettor taught , reads bettor and cheaper papers , sends his children to bettor schools , and enjoys moro opportunities for recreation and for seeing the world than over boforo. " The In creased number of largo fortunes Justice Brown ascribed to that process of centralisation which has been going on since the introduction of the railway and the telegraph , the commercial oll'eot. of which is epitomized in the single word combination. Ho regretted this result , since it is hotter for the country that there should bo a hundred small pro ducers of a slnglo article than otto great ono. But ho thought that the causes which have been effective in the amass ing of largo fortunes are already ceas ing to operate , and as the country be comes moro perfectly developed and more thickly inhabited will cease to bo important factors. "Tho time is. coining , " said Justice Brown , "whon the country will have all tlio railways required , when tlio production of manu facturers will exceed the demand , and the wages received so near the price of the article produced as to leave llttlo erne no prollt to the manufacturer. " This ism time is yet remote , but there is no reason to doubt that it will come. Considering some of the sohotnos for : bccuring a more oqutil distribution of property , Justice Brown said tho' social istic theory relegated the question tea the region of Impossibilities , ' eo-ojiora- tion is unpractical without a radical change in the character of. the laboring clasbos , and so-culled compulsory arbi tration would logically result inn oithur confiscation to the em ployer or slavery to thoem ploye. Ho believed tliat legis lation is incompetent to olTcut any1'vudi- cul change in the social status or in the relations of the employers and the em ployed , and that even if such oliungo wore posslblo it would bo attended by evils which would inevitably throw the whole system in to confusion. Bui it does not follow that legislation can do nothing to improve the o relations or tea palliate the evils of the present situa tion. Legislation may fix the number of hours of a logul day's work , provide that payment ho made at certain stated periods , protect the life und Health'of tbo working man against accidouta or diseases nrlslm'Troinjll' constructed ma- chlnorybadly ventilated roomsdofectlvo appliances or dangerous occupations and nay limit or "ilTOmblt altogether the later - tor of women and children in employ ments injurious to thulr health or be- fond thqlr strtjnflh. More than this , It nay forbid the cjmrtor of business cor- v JOrtttions for anyv other purposes than hose of mining , manufacturing , Insur ance or trnnflJoriatlon ] ' , and especially 'or ' farming or 'trading purposes , or jrafllcklng in imy * manner in the neces saries of life. With the aid of judicial ) owci'itmay puV/an end to combina tions having fotr their object the control and monopoly of particular articles of manufacture. It may put a stop to the vicious system of build ing railways and other public works through construction companies organ ized by the directors of the road In their own interest. Justice Brown thought that state ownership of monopolies is a Hold upon which legislation may enter , experimentally n't least , and per haps with great ultimate benefit to the public. Ho had no''or been able to perceive why , If the government may bo safely intrusted to carry our letters and papers , it may not with equal propriety carry our telegrams , or why , If our mu nicipalities may supply us with water , they may not also supply us with gas , electricity , telephones and street cars. They are all .based , said Justice Brown , upon the , same principle of a public ownership of the streets und highways , and a power to grant fran chises to third persons , which the munic ipality , if it chooses , may reserve to it self. Something may also bo done by legislation toward securing a more equal distribution of property by limit ing the power of th6 testator to dispose of his ostatu by will. "The natural ri ht of every man to the enjoyment of his own property and to the increment thereof is recognized by the laws of all civilized nations , nor do they limit in any way his right to accumulation. His ' right , to dispo.se of it after his death , however , stands ujxm a different foot ing. That is a creature of statute and subject . to the legislative will. If for tunes should multiply in the next half century as they have in the last decade drastic measures may have to bo in vented. LOXUKR < m SlHJlllKIt WollKlXO DAI'S. The brunt of Samuel Gompors' re marks at the labor congress * was di rected i toward establishing this proposi tion I , that the solution of the problem of the t unomploycd ips in ; the reduction of the t number of hours in the working day. Looking J around us"at the present time wo sco thousand tof mon laid off from their t work or forced t accept reduced wages because * the factories und the mills i can no longer dispose of their products. ] With every addition to the unemployed i , with every reduction of wages recoivo'd by lhl > laborer , ho pur1 chasing ( capaclt voilthat jjast army of consumers i is leswmod , andtthiskin turn decreases < the demand for the goods of these 1 who are looked to to afford extended - tended i emnloymalvt. ' { p ory ono who manages to > Votain % hi&fiosUion seems to bo 1 depriving some of his follows of equal opportunities. < Why not , then , says Mr. Gompers < , by equalizing the work to bo had 1 , lesson the number of hours which each is permitted ttijlabor , fund in that way give work to jevory ono who is willing and able to perform it ? Mr. Gompors is plain in stating his own position. "I believe that so long as there is ono man or woman out of employment who needs work , who can worlc and wants to' "work and cannot find it , the hours of labor of these who are employed are too Idng. " How much the working day would have to bo shortened In order to secure the desired result or whether such a result could over be secured - cured , even though the working day wore reduced to live minutes , Mr. Gompors docs nottventuro to speculate. But it is quite .conceivable that the shortening process might go on under these conditions until the working day shall practically have disappeared. What is intimated , although not as sorted , is that the share of the product whicti any laborer now receives shall not bo lessened or divided with the ad ditional men who are to bo given em ployment , and this is evidently to bo ro lled upon to create a constantly grow ing demand for goods that shall enable all industries to bo conducted to their fullest capacity. The trouble with all plans of shorten ing the working day without reducing the rate of wages paid is that it has not boon proven , nor can [ I bo proven , that a man can produce as much in a shorter number of hours as in a longer number. There Is ii.cortaln limit , perhaps , beyond - yond which it is not profitable to em ploy labor , but below tnut limit the product docroosos with every decrease In the time devoted to it. The wage earners receive their reward out of what they produce and they cannot re- coivu what they are now getting If they do less work. What follows ? Just what Mr. Gonipor has described with l- out seeing the f r o 'of the example. lj. The employer Jitjds * In these hard times that ho 'utn\not maintain his regular pay roll without a positive loss. Ho says to Ids meihfhiit lie will have s.to reduce his force , ' { biit ho will have to.ro- trench expunboslftt ho will possibly have to cut wagjBnd / that if ho is not permitted to do t rf'jio will have to shut down. There is jnt ether alternative. He Is subjectedito ! ilosios ! all the time l while his employj&fftvho do not hesitate a moment to ma'fl&iilo'mnnds upon the least sign of pros bjj'Hy , want to evade every vestige ofj/jtyjitaot / with his ain vorelty. A shorter working day when the present working day is attended with a loss is simply an Impossibility and that Is all there Is to it. Our sys ; torn of distribution Vnay bo defective and loss work with more pay may bo the out come of Its reform , but taking it as it now stands it forbids the employment of . all the unemployed until the return of confidence and prosperity justifies such an extension of industry. Whntf Mr. Gompors und ether st reformers should strive to bring ilt is an increase of employment. First , ilty the extension of public works and con struction of harbors and waterways that ata are needed for Interstate aim interna tional commerce ; second , by the construc tion of public buildings wherever the government needs a public building for iwslal , revenue .and judicial purposes ; third , by stimulating homo industry and the utilization of our raw materials In mills and factories to the exclusion If possible of wares made by underpaid labor in foreign countries. In other \vordsradopt n policy that will create em ployment1 for the Idle workingman with out dccroa-slnp the earning capacity of the men now employed. S6ttit > ( the absurdities ot the contract labor law which excludes Immigrants who come to this country already under engagements to work for parties In the United States worn disclosed by the recent episode In connection with the arrival In this country of Henry Irvlng's company of players. When the roster was called , after the boat had landed , It was foitnd that four of the men wore missing , and only after diligent inquiry was It learned that the gas engineer and three calcium light manipulators had been detained by the Immigration ofllulals. They wore subjected to the usual questions , and when they replied that they wore under con tract with n theatrical company the order was given that they should bo sent back to the port from which they camo. On remonstrance and threats of an appeal to the Treasury department at Washington , the men were allowed a rehearing. Evidence was taken as to the line of demarcation between a trade and an art and the men wore finally ad mitted on the ground that they are art- ists. So it is now settled that the men who adjust the gns lights or manipulate the calcium clToc.ts for the btatro are artists and not laborers. The law recog nizes contract laborers and not con tract artists , and so thcso men are per mitted to sccuro an entrance to the country. This incident shows to a nicety how easily thb olllcials may relax the rules when they desire. It also shows how ridiculous an interpretation must be given to this law to avoid its working hardship. It may bo perfectly proper to keep out , men with little or no skill who , by lowering the standard of life , prevent American laborers from earning fair wages. But to exclude mon whoso sldll renders them desirable ad ditions to the community and who do hot come into active competition with wage earners already bore is an altogether unnecessary feature of thculaw. So long as the letter of the law remains as it is wo may expect ofllcials to twist its con struction in a manner similar to that just noted. _ UNION PACIFIC DIIIECTOH MILLARD expresses the belief that the recent re ductions of salaries on that line are but temporary. It is a matter of regret that the signs of the times do not point to a restoration of the old scale of wages. The process of paring down salary lists is general throughout the country. It prevails especially in industrial es tablishments , the great majority of which have reduced wages from 1 to 20 per cent. The point has been reached where proprietors must either reduce expenses or , shut up shop. Merchants and'-manufacturors of Omaha can congratulate - gratulato themselves that times are not as bad here as in many ether cities , " THE Sioux City authorities are ac cused by our county agent of sending a destitute family to this city. The upriver - river people have boon notified that a repetition of the offcnso will subject them to prosecution under the United States pauper laws. This action will bo heartily endorsed by the taxpayers of the community , who have boon imposed - upon by the unprincipled county officials of this and neighboring- states. 'Douglas county cares for her dependent paupers , as everybody knows , but it does not follow that this county shall bo made the asylum for the indi gent of the entire west. THERE are unmistakable signs of a return of bettor trade conditions in this city and state. The jobbers are sending out their traveling men again in antici pation of o heavy fall trade. Money is not so tight , a hotter feeling prevails among local bankers and the situation generally is reassuring. Anil tlin llitnil 1'luyncl. I'httntlelpMa Tlmei.
