THREE movements in great citios east for the establishment of free li- braries have lately been recorded by the papers. Omaha’s free library is constantly growing in influence and usefulness, T Sargent boom seems to have subsided and the Pacific coast jobber can now devote his attention to hatch- ing up another desert land swindle for California. Judge Belford is ahead of him in Colorado. “ Towa and Nobraska are already joined by two bridges but the first wedding with the free consent of both parties will take place when cheap tolls are brought about by a wagon bridee connecting Omaha and Council Bluffs, Mz. Vesr is still prancing through the senate and howling his loyalty in appeals against the repeal of the ar- rears of the pension swindle. Mr. Vest has a large amount of frozen demagogry in his composition, and speaks one word for the soldiers and two for Mr. Vest’s political popular- ity. Rrev. Grorae C. MiuN, pastor of Unity church in Chicago, has aban- doned his belief in the Diety, the Scriptures, and tho immortality of the soul, and pronounces himself an ag- nostic, without creed or withoutfaith. We do not like to impute unworthy motives to any man, especially on the subject of religious bolief. From a personal knowledge, howeyer, of Mr., Miln for nearly ten years past his lat- ost freak causes us no surprise. His great object during all his ministerial eareer has boen a thirst for notoriety which nothing could satisfy. As a Methodist he out-Wesleyed Wesley. As a Presbyterian he out-Calvined Calvin, and his sensational changes of creed and methods during the past fow years havo been almost too fro- quent to fllow, gravitating between tho most ascetic orthodoxy and the broadest liberalism, Sincerity is al- ways commendable. It is especially 80 in matters of belief. Few who have watched Miln's carcer as a pul- pit pounder will give him crodit for anything more than an all-absorbing egotism, fed by an overpowering cray- ing to excite public attention, —— Tue city council should not hesitate amoment in refusing permission to the railways to occupy Jackson street, Omaha has already dealt more liber- ally with her railroads than any city of her size on the continent. The valuable river bottoms are practically given up to transportation purpos Three of our best streets, with the adjoining alleys, have been vacated to the Union Paci In addition more than half a million of dollars in bonds and land have been donated to the corporations, The last petition of the Union Pacitic company to the city council is a piece of cheeky imperti- nence which ought to be promptly answered. Its only object is to pre- vent a rival railroad from attaining entrance to the trade center of our ciey. It has been recognized as such by every leading merchant of Omaha. The petition against granting the de- mand of the Union Pacificcontained the names of men who are making Owaha a great commercial metropolis, and who are vitally interested in provent ing the building of a Chinese wall sround this city, through which none but a single gigantic monopoly can penetrate, No member of the city council who casts his vote in favor of granting this impudent request can froe his skirts' from the suspicion of undue corporation influence THE POLTAL SAVINGS BILL. The bill reported to congress by the committee on post offices providing for the establishment of postal savings banks, is a measure socure & spoedy passage. which should By its pro- | visions such post offices as may be designated are made depositories for the protection of small savings, in 12 years of which any person abov age may become a depositor, the smallest amount receivable being one dollar and the largest €100, during a All deposits taxation and will period of thirty days. will b free from draw two per cent a year per annuni, alculated at the end of every calendar month, The postal savings bank is an insti- tution intended to assist frugality and thrift among the poorer classes. Tt aims to provide for the laborer and mechanic and clerk and all others who may take advantage of its use, perfect safoty for their savings and such in The expe- riment has been successfully tried in It would have found a place in the United States service a terest as safety warrants, Great Britain, number of years ago if castern bank ors had not joined in opposing any legislation which they believed would cut down their own profits m propor tion, as deposits were withdrawn and transferred to institutions under gov- ernment control. The postal savings bank 18 needed on the ground of the scarcity of places for tho deposit of small carnings, savings banks in the There are only 629 country. All states. nd are the only sonth- these are in fourteen Lovis- iana and Mary ern states provided with these deposi tories, Ohio and Indiana the only western states, and California stands alono on the Pacific coast in possess- ing a single savings bank. Statistics show that the number is steadily de- creasing. Another ground for the establishment of postal savings banks is that of se- curity for depositors. In the past ten years in New York city alone twenty- one banks have failed, owing their depositors §12,095,5670. They paid to their depositors, after tedious delays, at a cost of abous $900,000 in receivers’ foes, 86,353,202, or about one dollar in two. The federal gov- ernment settles the intricate aflairs of a national bank at a cost of six per cent. on the This batch of savings banks cost sixteen per cont. iusolvent national banks, who are paid no inter- ost and look for ordinary business security, get over soventy per cent. These savings bank depositors received barely fifty-two - per cent., and yeot, with fair management, depositors in a savings bank should be safer than de- positors in a bank which takes the ordinary risks of business. Thero are several objectionable fea- tures in the new bill which ought to be modified before it socures its final passage. The rate of interest is too low. Great Britain pays two and a half per cent. intercst on deposits, Why should the United States deprive the poor man of a half per cent. in- terest which it can very well afford to give. It can pay the rate at which it can borrow less the cost ot manage- ment. The government can borrow at 3 per cent. Does any one believe that it will cost 1 per cent. to manage the deposits? Another feature which needs modi- fication is the limit placed upon the size of the deposits. This is placed by the bill at $3, after which addi- tional deposits may be made in §1 amounts, This limit is outrageously large. France takes deposits of 20 conts a franc; * England of 20 cents a shilling, By issuing stamps, the first deposit is brought dowu to 2 cents in England, and in France tho govern- ment school savings banks, which have 224,280 dopositors and deposits of $720,000, the argregate of no one de- posit larger than §1, take deposits of a ponny. why the have payments made. Dopositors in There 18 no good reasons initial deposits should be placed at a greater sum than that allowed by other foreign governments. Tu froo trade fallacy is daily losing ground among American tarmers, They are beginning to understand that the true economic policy of any country is exactly that of the ndi- viduals composing it. The farmer first provides for his own family, If he raises wheat he must first attend to the wants of his own household. That is a market that never fails him, For some part of his production his family will constitute a ceriain mar- ket and if he chances to have a sur- plus he can probably dispose of it to a neighbor. TIn the same way, when a large number of producers engage in the same business there may be a considerable surplus for which a con- venient markot is one of the pressing neads. Can a policy carefully ad- justed for the purpose which creates a convenient market for such a sur- plus be unwise! This is what o just protective policy does. It establishes and builds up numerous convenient local markets for the surplus produe- tion of the farmer and in creating such markets it creates a new field for labor, mechanics, and for artieans, 1f & home demand could be created for every bushel of wheat raised in the country it would be wise to create such a demand, Buyers ran the risks and costs of ocean trasnportation to distant markets only when the home demand falls off. The more perma- I'HE UMAHA DAiLY BLE: SATURDAY FEBRUARY 11 iov.

Parliament opened on Tuesday with the queen’s speech, which was read by Lord Selbourne. The document had the virtue of brevity, and was as vague as a candidate's letter of ac- ceptance. It failed to refer to the Blaine-Grauville correspondence, or te the subject of the Chili-Peru difti- culty, and the ex-secretary’s menacing position on the matter. In that part of the speech dealing with foreiga affairs, the two passages of mosh weight are those dealing with the Egyptian question and the Aug French commercial treaty. Translat- ing the non-committal language proper to a speech from the throne into intel- ligible English, the declared British policy in Egypt scems to be to seek to make terms with the national party and new ministry., Her majesty is made to declare that Great Britain will enforce her rights in Egypt “‘ina spirit favorable to the good govern- ment of the vountry and the prudent development of its institutions.” This seems to mean that the liberal and constitutional aspirations of the na- tive Egyptians will be encouraged if they will only pay their debts, and is an apparent disavowal of the policy of joint intervention. The other Glad stone-Gambetta project, the commer- cial treaty between England and France, it is announced, has not been abandoned, though there has been no definite expression in the queen's speech to justify the be- lief fhat the negotiations have made notable progress towards agreement, The sanguine ministers find the con- dition of Treland improved since the last session, but it is to be noted that the improvement described is in the more effective administration of jus- tico, and not to the condition of the deople. Ireland is pacified, but not relieved. The speoch points out that the coercion act has been vigorously executed and agrarian outrages sup- pressed; but does not indicate how the land act is working. A very im- portant and significant part of the speechisthat which calls the attention of parliament to the large number of important matters of domestic con- cern awaiting ite attention—the bank- ruptey law, local self-government, Scoteh education, the repression of electoral corruption and the preven. tion of river floods —and warns it that the nation expects effective legislation upon them, This means that it is the intention of the ministry to make this a session of business, and dis- courage any more waste of time speech-making and obstruction, Mr. Gladstone found himself in hot water at the very opening of the par liamentary session in the renewed attempt of Mr. Bradlaugh to take the oath of house of commons from the Northamp. office a8 a member of the He appeared at the bar acked by the favorable who ton district of the house, influence of Mr. maintained that compliance with the taking of the onth that the 70 boyond that Gladstone, formalities in the met all house had no requirements, and right ) Mr and in apite of this ad and inquire Bradlangh’s pri vate opinions voes tary oath would be binding upon his honor and conscience, the motion of Sir Stafford Northeote th allowed to swear was vote of 227 2R to 227, then ordered by the speaker to with he be not adopted by Bradlaugh wa draw, but not until the house adopted a motion to that effect did he consent to abandon the usesless contest M. de Froycinet Las announced the policy of the new French cr a promptitude and vigor which is in binet with strong contrast with the delays of his predecessor. The programme is both moderate and business like in The new policy me home and abroad and will be firm as well as conciliatory. He says that “‘nations do not live by politics” and this embodies the spirit of the whole policy. The laws relating to the pub Tic press and the right of public meet ings will be maintained and adminis- tered in a liberal spirit. There are to be no backward steps in the military, judicial and legislativ menced by the Gambetta ministry, but the revision ot the constitution, the ro'k on which the late went to picces, will be postponed until the term of the present legislature ex- pires.

The aggregate of exports to that country for the 12 months ending June 30, 1881, was $9,198,077 againt $6,056,964 for the preceeding year, but yet Mexico bought three or four times as much in value from Eugland and considerable quantities from France and other Ea- ropean countries. Our imports for the same years were, respectively. $8,317,802 and §7,200,603. A gr part of what Mexico now buys of us in manufactures, that it needs is precisely what we want to sell, and the advantage of securing this great home market is obvious; but high and badly arranged tariffs on both sides stand in the way. So many intorests on both sides of the line de- mand it that the establishing of some kind of reciprocity treaty would seem to be the only a question of time, but Mexico would probably not ventuie upon absolute free trade with us just yot because it depends solargely upcn import duties for revenue. nearly all One of the first will be laid betore the British parlia- ment convened Tuesday, will be a bill to quicken parliament procedure, the necessity for which was illustrated by the facility given for obstruction and delay in the last parliament, even after its adoption of the ‘‘urgency rule,” under which it was endeavored to hasten the passage of the coercion and reform acts, The experiment was but a partial success, and the British government deems a further measure to restrict debate and delay essential to the proper progress of leg- islation at the present session. The precise form which the new measure will take has not yet been definitely announced, but it is understood to partake of the nature of the ‘‘pre- vious question’ as used in American legislation, though the term for it most frequently used by English by of his causo, and of his own | Jersonal assurance that the parliamen- | The prosent debt of France 18 about | | measures which |, subject is ‘“cloture,” & word used to, describe a similar process in vogue in The innovation several continental legislatures, proposition is a greater upon English parliamentary prece dents than has ever been made be- fore, and will meet with bitter oppo sition from the home rulers and a large number of conservative mem bers, but the liberal party is said to be united in support of the proposi- tion if it can agree upon its form.

Petitions have been forwarded by settiers near h o party | ¥ this proposed reservation, explaining that the passage of the bill would op- erate as a great hardship on g\gnrul- turists whose necessities require the timber other than Sequoia, snd we in- cline to sympathy with the petition- ers. No doubt the timber lands are / being sadly despoiled; but it / is not by small farmers, but by \ a aystematic and fraudulent effort of monopolists, An Oregon paper eX- plaing how it is done on Puget sou d, and the explanation fits the situation in most of the timbered states snd territories. Corporations owninglum- ber mills on the sound own from 40,- 000 to 200,000 acres each of the very best timber land in the United States. They did not and could unot secure this quantity by auything like fair purchase, for the timber lands there ¢ have never been off r sale. They are eubject to the homestead and pre- emption laws, and noone man can honestly obtain from the United States more than 160 acres. But these lumber corporations employ dummies at so much a head— 2100 to $200-to enter 1 a quarlter section i kLis name, the corporation bearing all expenses; ann after the entry and payment of land office fees the dummy turns over the land, by deed, to the corporation. It costs them $200 per 160 acres, or at most 8400, plus the $100 paid to the dummy; and its real value 1s from $2,000 to 83,000. The same game is being successfully practiced in Geor- gin and other southern timber states on a still larger scale. Of course, the method involves perjury and frand, but these are crimes which the grab- bers have madeso popularand common that but little notice istaken of themin cases where the United States is the party defrauded. What is needed from congress is a general law that will protect the timber lands of the country from destruction by men of this character by the imposition of severe penalties, both on the false swearer and the monopolist that em- ploys and suborns him. There is tim- ber enough in Oregon and Washing- ton territory and in the California Sierra and Coast range to supply this whole coast with the best and cheap- est of lumber for three centuries to come, but not if the monopolists are allowed to go on as they have been during the last twenty years.

In a public hall, in the glare of many lights, surround- ed by a mass of living humanity, playing with infinite skill upon their sympathies, he is bold in ridiculing the hopes and fears of Christians. But in the presence of death the tcof- fer drops his gibe, the trembling lip replaces the sneering smile and the full humanity of his large soul yields to the command of humanity for something after death. Who that has ever read will ever forget his wonderful address delivered over the grave of his bro her, June 2, 1879. It seemed to draw the whole couutry within the wfluence of the sobered scorner, as, bowing to the inevitableyy he bent above that grave and said: ‘“But in the night of death, hope sces % a star, and listening love can hear the rustle of a wing.” Then he recorded the last words of his brother, *‘I feel better no v,” with an infinite pathos, and with'a seeming faith that it was . A few days ago Mr. Ingersoll was again called upon to stand beside an- other open grsve. This time it was that of alittle child of an acquaintance. The occasion touched the great ora- . tor with the full feeling of the inad quacy of this life to fill the longing of theheart. Filled again with hope of a hereafter he pleaded’ that it should be one of joy and happiness, not pain and tears. How many Christians to-day feel with Ingersoll that ‘‘Another life is naught unless we know and love the ones who love us here.” In his in- most soul he is not a disbeliever. e “A Wonderful Effect.” L ADRIAN, Mich., June 30, 1881 H.
