That lesson is the earnest determination of labor to take a hand in the making of laws which affect workingmen as well as other classes of the community. It1s the warning which brawn gives to brains that economic questions so long evaded must be brought forward as issues for scttlement. The Jubor vote has eatered politics and it sounds defiance to time serving politi- wians that it must receive some return for its strength, Labor's demands were summarized in the petitions which poured mto congress at the last sossion. There was nothing asked which menaced property rights or the stability of existing institutions. The repeal of the land laws, except the homestead act, the forfeiture of unearned railroad lands, the opening of unused Indian reserva- tious, the prohibition of alien land owner- ship, the waking of election days holi- days, and the disbursement of the trea- sury surplus comprised all the formulated titions of labor which were presentod ®t Washington lust summer. Every re- nest touclied a generally admitted evil. | were in the line of economie reform THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: SUNDAY Pauparism tn London. l The reply just made by the local gov. ernment hoard of London,to a letter of | the socinl democratic federation calling | attention to the alleged great increase in the number of idigent and idle people in London, will have the effect of correct ing the very general belief, supposed to | estionable facts, that | pauperism and idleness in the English | metropolis have had an enormous and unprecedented growth in the last few The statement of the board is the percentage of pauners was 22 to ry 1,000 of the population in October of the present year, wherens in the same month of 1868 it was 42 to every 1,000 of the population, Stating the population of London in 1863 at $,000,000 and at present at 5,000,000, it appears, according to the above percentage, that the total of those people of whom the local govern mont board takes cognjzance, as requir- ing public assistance, was at the former period 126,000 and is at this time 110,000 So that not only is there a very decided roduction, as compared with eighteen years ago, in the proportion of indigent people to population in London, but a considerable decrease in the nggregate of this class. Incredible th howing will appeuar in view of the many state- ments t have been made within the pastyearor two of the unexempled 1 dustrial depression, it is doubtless not far from correct, Trust worthy statistics show that in 1830 the ipers of London numbered in round 5 09,000, the ratio to population be in 1,000. They also show that while wary 1, 1871, the ratio of pauperism to population in England and Wales was 1,739 in 100, 1t the same date in 1885 it w but 2,004 in 100, These veritied statistics seem elearly to justify the statementof the board, and must be accepted as disposing of the assumption that pauperism in Eng- land, or inits metropolis, is rapidly m- creasing. A little while ago Lord Derby made a speceh in Liverpool i which he pietured the bright side of England’s industrial condition and held out the promise. of o prosperous future. Admitting that of Iate trade in a general way had not been rood and that profits were small, he maintained that the general condition of the country was not so bad as it had been represented to be. He presented figures for the y 1880 and 1885 showing that consumption of the necessaries of life had inereased materially, while the say- ing ability of the people, shown in the increased deposits in the saving banks, had also greatly improved. The con- sumption of beer, wine and spirits de- creased, not, as Lord Derby soid, be- cause the people were less able to buy, but beeause of the spread of temperance, while the statistics ofd the consumption of tea in 1880 and 1885 show an increase in favor of the latter year of 15 per cent, and of sugar more than 23 ver cent, the people at the same time adding more than 20 per cent to their ngs. There is surcly nothing dis- couraging in figures which show that the English working people are able to both spend more for the ne vies of life and to save more than they did five years ago. The inevitable inference is that they were more fally employed and earned more in the latter year than thoy did in the former. It was further shown that the people who pay an income tax were more prosperous in 1885 than in 1880, the total gross assessments for the two years showing an increase in favor of the forme of over mnine per cent. statisties were given clearly demonstrating that the na- tion has grown in weaith in the last five years, altbough the advance has been slow, and except a few industries, more especially agriculture, all interests have gone forward. The landlords and farm- ers have been the heavy losers, owing Lo bad seasons and low prices, and it is noteworthy that while Lord Derby held out assurances of future prosperity to almost all other industries he had no promise to make to agriculture. These facts nly dispose of the idea that England’sindustrial and commercial interests, omitting that of agriculture, are rapidly moving on the down grade toward irretrievable ruin, and that idle- ness and pauperism are~ everywhere in creasing. They are less prosperous, un- questionably, than at some former peri- ods, but asa whole they are not losing ground. The showing will be gratifying to all who understand that the prosper- ity of une country may have an influence in promoting that of all other countries with which it commercial relations, years th ov as ‘The Inspiring Motive. According to the monopoly leaders the democrat who hesitates to shoot off blank cartridges in the coming senator- inl contest is lost. If this is the caso a search expedition should be organized in advance. There aro a number of demo- crats who owe their election luss to their party connection than to their solemn pledges to vote for the senatorial candi- date who was endorsed by their con- stituenc In a numper of counties rep- resentatives were specifically instructed by democratic conventions to cast their lots for w wparticular republican andidate in case the legislature should be republiean. There ar less than forty democrats in both houses and as small 2 chance of electing a democratic candidate for senator asthere is for the seleetion of a republican senator from Mississippi. Under these eircumstances the demo- cratic members of the legislature who are not controlled by the ecorporations banded together to defeat Van Wyck, are not likely to swerve from their duty. Threats and cajolery ought to miss their mark in forcing or inducing honest demo- erats to aid in furthering the ends of the monopoly wing of the republican party The howls from “‘straightdemocrats" for a strict party vote for a party ecandidate and from “stalwart’’ republicans against any interference by democrats with the business of electing a republican senator are inspired by a common motive. ‘That motive is the defeat of the people’s ehoice | for senator, Charles H. Van Wyck, and | the selection of a republican candidate who will be the pliant tool of the con- federated monopolies, ———ee The Sunday Bee.

Scarcely a month passes in which some property owner who has purchased mn good faith1s not ealled upon to pay “blood money” or face a law suit. Tri- vial technicalitics moss grown with years are rmsed to bee'oud the title of pieces of uable real estate and shyster lawyers and agent leeches reap the benetits of mis takes or omissions which originally were not considered worth noticing. In the early days, there was un- doubtedly much eareiessness in the exe- cution of papers relating to real estate transfers and incumbrances, Details which then seemed of no mo- ment beeause their omission could have been promptly remedied, were passed overin the haste of speculative enter- prise, Ackuowledgments were often imperfect, and the names and relations of parties to the instrument carelessly serted. The statute of limitations has in most cases remedied the errors, so far as confirming possession is concerned, but they still remain as clouds on the titles, and real estate owners by subsequent purchase are frequently willing to pay for their removal. While courts of equity braska rulings can be depended upon to protect legal rights against these real estate blackmailers, the necessity of eare in the scrutiny of titles canuot be too strongly urged upon purchasers. A rigid compliance with the statutes in the drafting and execution of deeds, and the release of liens and mortgages, is all important. The idea that any one can draw up n legal mstru- ment involving often the transfer of thousands of dollavs is general through- out the west where a wise coditication of the laws has removed much of the verbi- age and red tape which formerly sur- rounded conyeyancing. The very case of property transfer is its chief danger to purchasers, who too often depend upon men more ignorant than themselyves to draft the papers and pass upon titles. A mistaken cconomy and a carclessness born of haste furnish the capital for the real estate blackmailers. More care on the part of purchasers is the remedy for these bloodsue kers who ply their trade with success because they are sharper than their vietims.

The tenth annual meeting of the Americun Humane Association will be held in Cincinnati on Wednesday, ‘Thur: day and Friday of this k. The asso- ciation is a convention of the numerous humanc societies that have been organized throughout the country in the last twenty years, and its object is to promote and encourage harmonious work among th societies, as well as to accomplish reforn requiring their united influence. It has been said that “if human thought has no wider compass now than it had in the minds of the wise old Grecks, and if what are called modern discoveries in jence weve known sges ago to the wise men of the East, we have one consola- tion in the certain knowledge that in the general manifestation ot human loye and sympathy at least no age has equalled the present.” The movement that gave to every considerable city throughout the country a humane society 15 one of the most marked and important examples in yindication of the claim above quoted. Prompted by the aflce- tion and sympathy which every human being not utterly debased must feel for the futhful brate servants of man, the movement advanced rapidly after it found a foothold, until now none of the citics is without its humane societ ving municipal recognition and pro- tection, In their separate work these ies have dono a great amount of good, mnot alone in protecting the brute from man’s barbarity, but in shielding belpless chil- dren from the abuse of brutal parents or rescuing them wholly from their un- happy lot; while in their eollective capac- ity as the American Humane as- sociation they have remedied many crying abuses and introduced many re- forms, all in the interest of humanity in the most comprehensive sense. The ninth report of the association recently issucd presents a most interesting and instructive statement of the work done throughout the country during the year covered by it, and doubtless the report of the coming meeting will supply to the friends of the movement a sull more en conraging and satisfactory account of the operations of the associution and its braunches. hse —_— WitiLe the churches are reporting gen erous collections for foreign missions and earnest work on behalf of the benighted heathen in distant lands, benevolent and charitable people should not overtook the noed for their labor and money in reliev- g the suffering and combatting the sin which lies in full view st their very doors.

The Omaha post- office is & constant souree of complaint ‘The mails are not dispatched with suf ficient promptness or distributed as rap idly as they ought to be. The manner which business is conducted is far behind the requitemsnts of the patrons. Occasionally a spurt is made by detaching a railway mail clerk from his proper work and adding him to the insuflicient foree. This temporary expe dient only serves to when the force is again reduced. The grossly inadequate force in our postoftice is unfair to all ties con cerned. It is unfair to the public who y for proper wmail facilities, and are given a postoflice management fit for second class country town. It is unfair to the clerks who ure overworked m the vain attempt to dispateh and distribute the increasing flood of mail matter which pours into the ofiiee. Finally it is unfair to the postmaster, who must bear the responsibility for the wretched ser- ice which he is forced to shoulder while perhaps quite unable to improve. Some of the blame must rest upon our repre- sentatives in congress. If the condition of affairs in Omuha was properly laid before the department and urgently pressed we mighy secure relief.

A few days ago comment was made in these columns upon the proposals of the State Bar Association for facilitating the disputeh of legal business in Dougias county and throughout the state. We are pleased to note that the plan sug- ested called out a lively discussion of its advantages and disndvantages. Many members of the local bar seem ia- clined to doubt the wisdom ot making Douglas county a single district and ob- ject to the creation of a municipal court on constitutional grounds as well as on the ground of expediency. An iuter- view with a leading = member of the Douglas county bar is published 1n unother column which tersely summarizes the objections to the proposed changes, and suggests a doubling of the presentnumber of judges with the district boundaries left undis- turbed. The reasons given fof this method of relicving our distriod court from the ac cumulating burden rof “finfinished busi- ness are strongly pit. By increasing the capacity of - the present; court there will be no additional expensé to the county, the dockets can be rapidly cleared, juris- diction will not be restricted and the pub- lic will be more efliciently served. It is very nccessary that something should be done at the coming legislature to relieve our distriet court of its over- worked judges and crowded docket. 1t is quite as necessary that nothing should be done hastily which may afterwards not stand the test of an appeal to the supreme court. The Douglas county bar snould strongly canvass the matter and formulate their views in a bill which will be ready for introduction at the epening of the legi Boothand the McCullough Morument. A few days ago a New York printed an item saying that the fri the late John McCullough had given up the project of obtaining funds by popu- lar subseription to erect a monument to the memory of the dead actor, and it had been determined that the memorial shall be a tribute from McCullough’s personal friends. The plan was goini on prosper- ously until it encountered Mr. Booth,who refused to subscribe, saying that when a monument was crected to the memory ot his father it woald be time to talk of a monument to MeCullongh. Even if it be conceded that Mr. Booth is justitied in feeling aggrieved at the failure of his profession to commemorate in marble or bronze the achievements and fame of his great father, his more judicious friends must regret that in this wmatter he put himself in a position which may be easily construed as having been prompted by jealousy. That unhappily 15 a carding fault of the dramatic profession, pervad- ing every grade of it. Edwin Booth is one of the very few actors who have never been thought to be a vietim of it, and it is not easy to believe that it had anything to do with prompting his action m the ¢ of the McCullough fund. Yet it is inevitably sugzested, and those who would detract from Mr, Booth—happily they are not numerous—will accept it as the explanation of his action and use it against him, No one can blame Edwin Booth that he should feel hurt at the profession’s ne- glect of his distinguishod father, Kvery one must commend the esteew in which he holds the work of that eminent actor. Jnnios Brutus Booth 'was one of the most illustrious exponents of dramatic urt the world has known--a" gréat origmal ge- nius, a creator, a master, 'This genera tion of pluygoers have not seen his peer and those who were privileged to witn his almost marvelous achievements ur apt to hold in light regard the best work of the stage of this time. But the son of this great man, higiself distinguished above all his compenrs, ought to have bethought him that the first duty of the living generation is to those who are or have been s part of it, and that the claim upon the men of bis father's time to honor his memory exists now upon those with whom John McCuliough was coutempo- In denying that claim does not Edwin Booth become a party in default with those who in their time failed to honor his father? But the fame of Junius Brutus Booth, even more than that of M Cullough, requires no bronze or marble to perpetuate it. 1t is immortal and fadeless in the annals and traditions of the English stage.
