The committee desires $50,000. Some $20,- are already subscribed. The advan- tages to be derived from holding the ebnvention in Omaha, need not now be enumerated. TuE jealous organs of Denver fly into a rage because the enterprising people of Omaha propose to bid with cash for the national republican convention of 1888. The Republican declares that the effort is silly; that the convention *“*will ‘be held in some city; no Missouri mud hole will get it.” This is the hollow of the consumptive graveyard and pllmonary potter’s field of the nation. With thirty miles of paved streets, ample hotel accommodations, and u con- venient hall capable of seating ten thousand persons, Omaha is able to en- tertain the grand old party and plant Denver in a suburb without straining her hospitality FRANCE is confronted by another ministerial crisis. A defeat of the government in the chamber of deputies yesterday brought from the prime minis- ter an immediate announcement of the resignation of the cabinet, and the event that some had hoped and fought for and others feared was consummated. In the present condition of affairs in France this is a circumstance of the most sorious significance. The situa- tion is variously complicated, and in the pffort to settle existing difficulties, gatisfy conflicting elements, and put the machinery of government again in gmooth running orderalmostany change {8 possible. Republicanism in France is likely to be again put to & severe test, and thoe outcome of the present crisis will be awaited with anxiety Ly the civilized world Tk packing business at South Omaha 48 assuming wonderful proportions. And g8 the packing houses increase in num- ber and capacity, sa the town expands fn trade and in population. The late real estate excitement there, when busi- mess and residence lots advanced to a price beyond the expectution of the most sanguine citizen, wus not a mere speculators’ boom. The reason of the reat advance is logical and well jounded. The marvelous transforma- tion wrought in South Omaha . dur- Jng the past twelve wonths an- pwers all questions concerning the town's future. Being a part of our city, Omaha, of course, finds reason to rejoice. when she views the growth of her lively suburb. From the fact that many Omaha business firms have ostablished branch houses at South Omaha, that town, in turn, rejoices in the upbuilding of Omaha. With no riv- alry or jealousy existing, or ever to exist, South Omaha’s foundation js well - #id, and her future is wost promising. Organized Charity, The senson is at hand when the de- mands on charity will be largely i crensed and becoine more urgent. It is well to consider how they may be most properly and judiciously met, to the end thut the deserving and retiring objects of elemosynary care shall not suffer while the unworthy who boldly enforee attention to their demands are provided for. We believe Omuha has as small a number of people neoding charity as any city of equal poputation in the coun- There has been employment here throughout the summer for all who were able to work, and the provident have had no difficulty in making provision for the season in which they cannot work, orcan find only casual employment. But some have been provident, while for other reasons some have not been able to do more than provide for imme- diate wants. For such the winter will bring hardship and privation that must be relieved by the hand of charity. Organized charity is the outgrowth of a progressive civilization, It exem- plifics the higher and broader humanity of this age. Not very many yearsngo paupers were subjected to indignity. Now the state provides asylums for the insane, hospitals are built for the home- less sick and homes are provided for the helpless poor. Friendless old age is cared for at the public expense, there are retreats for the fallen, there are formatories for children, who left to themselves would run to vice and crime, all testifying to’ the advanced humanity of the present time. To discriminate between the worthy and unworthy poor to assist those who are really in need, to relieve helpless child- hood from the miseries of poverty, and 1o lift up the down-trodden, is the work of organized chavity. Its merciful mission is carried on with a knowledge of facts and circumstances, without which there will always be a great amount of imposition, and charity be- comes in large measure a waste and even an injury. All who have given attention to this very serious subject agree in regarding unorganized relief and indiscriminate giving of ev the latter one who has given years to charitable work s STt foste im- providence, intemperance, pauperism and lying. Tt gives to importunate dead beats and to chronié whiners that which ought to go to the relief of retir- ing destitution and spec misfor- tune, and it tends to dry up the very fountains of charity by making the giver feel altogether uncertain whether he is doing good or havm by his charit- table giving.” Another authority says: aaized relief tends to poverty and does not veform the pauper, It is cusy to give, but it is hard to give wisely, for half of our benevolence turn to poverty and erime.” What every large community requires is such a systematizing of charities that there would always be full provision for the best treatment of all real destitution, and also for the detection of all fraud- ulent appeals for charity. The attainment of this in Omaha is the objeet,.us we understand it, of the proposed creation of a board of chari- ties. for the accomplishment of which a meeting of citizens will be held at Boyd's opera house to-morrow evening. This project merits the attention and support of every person who is suscept- ible to the appeals of honest want, and who appreciates the importance of or- ganized effort and system in the prose- cution of charitable work. There ought to be no difficulty and no unnecessary delay in perfecting the organization of a board of charities, and it is desirable that this be done and the work entered upon before the winter is far advanced. ———— The Solid Growth, The statistics bearing upon Omaha's growth during the year ending next January, will furnish food and thought for all citizens. In every branch of business—manufacturing and mercan- tile—Omaha has kept well apace with the times. Indeed, she has bounded farther in advance this year than was supposed to be possible—even by those who predicted the greatest things for Nebraska'’s metropolis. While real estate values have not been inflated to a bursting point, has been the case in s0 muny western towns, Omaha’s marl 18 been governed on commereial values alone, and the result to-day is an upward tendency. The boom bubble bursted at the right time, and the con- sequence has been an even, uninter- rupted, solid growth. The carly spring promises to witness another advance in real estate, because Omaha will have a largely increased population, which means a correspond- ingly increased trade. The laboring man comes to Omaha because here he finds ample employ- ment: Public work and individual im- provements for years to come will give labor, at good wages, to many thousand artisans. The capitalist places his money in Omaha real ‘estate and magnificent buildings, because he knows that here, without question, his returns will be sufficient and the in- crease ample for his demands. The business man embarks in Omaha be- cause the peoplé are already here, the city is the gate-way to a great and yet undeveloped territory, that a few years will transform into the homes of in- crensed thousands. He comes where business is, and where he can find busi- ness to do. There are bright things in the future for Omaha, and her shrewd and \cious public-spirited citizens are causing them to materialize in a most gratitying manner. as A Striking Instance. Some duys ugo we spoke of the want of care and thoroughness in the system of bank examinations, as shown by facts developed in the cases of bank failures resulting from the crookedness of the officials of such institutions, remarking that it wus too generally the practice of examiners to accept the statements of bank officers instead of carefully in- vestigating every detai! as the law re- quires. A striking instance in support of our statement, just discovered in a trial before the United States court at Cleveland, 0., is worthy of being noted. In June, 1884, it was discovered that one of the nationul bauks of . Cleveland had been robbed by the paying teller to the amount of $100,000, all of which had been lost in speculation. The sums making this amount were taken at various times covering a period of alont a year. -The case on trinl was ngninst the broker who han- dled this money, snd who was charged with complicity. In the course of the examination of the teller, he was asked whether the funds of the bank were ex- amined during the period covered by his defaleations, and rephied that an ex- amination was made at a time when he was #35,000 short. “Well?" queried the attorney. 1 filled alot of money bags with silver,” said the witness, “‘and marked them as though they contained gold. They took my word thateach contained 5,000 in gold.” In repiy to the question whother any other exam- ination was made, the witness said there was, but at a time when his shortage was not so large and he easily covered it up. It would perhaps not be just to the majority of bank exami- ners to suppose they could be as easily deceived as was the examiner who ac- cepted the stutement of the defaulting teller regarding the bags of silver. Very likely most of them would have examined the packages, which would have required very little time and labor. But while this may be regarded as an exceptional instance of lax per- formance of duty on the part of a bank examiner, it helps quite forcibly, in connection with other facts, toshow that carelessness and a Qisregard of the plain requirements of the law are faults far too general with these offi- cials, and that unless this servi nbe made more thorough and eficient it might as well be abandoned. Exam- iners who do not examineare not mevely uscless, they a positive in- jury, wrongi both the con- fiding public and the stockholders of the banks. Inthe case of the Cleveland bank, had the examiner opened but a single bug of the silver and exposed the deception the thieving career of the teller would have been stopped at once und the sixty-five thousand dollars sub- sequently taken from the institution saved. His report that he found every- thing correct confirmed the confidence of all concerned, and of course made the way of the embezzler more easy there- after. In the cases of the Cincinnati, 8t. Louis, and other banks that have failed by reason of the rascality of managing officials, it is not questionable that had thorough examination been made of their condition they would not have been .wrecked. But the statements of the cor- rupt officials were accepted as sufficient, and in every case that this was done the law was violated. The public and the banks are alike deeply interested in this question of careful and thorough examinations, and there should be an urgent demand made upon congress for whatever additional legislation may be necessary to secure it. Proposed South-Pole Exploration. A project for the exploration of the Antarctic continent is to be laid before congress next winter. The legislature of Victoria, Australia, has made the first move in this direction. That body pro- poses to contribute §25,000 for that pur- pose and asks England and the United States to give like sums, If any benefit is to be derived from an exploration of the south pole, this amount will doubtless be cheerfully voted by congre But the utility of such an undertaking is problematical. Many lives and much treasure have Dbeen expended in exploring the Arctie regions with but indifferent benefits to science and none at all to commerce. From what is already known of the southern continent, explorations in that direction would probably be followed by vesults still more meager. Yetitmight be well to make one caveful, scientific attempt. The circum-polarcontinent is less known to us than the surface of some of the planets. It isa large terri- tory. Reclus said the moon might fall upon it and no one would be any the wiser. A number of explorations have already been made, but so far only snow and ico have been encountered. Even its outline is imperfectly known. Tho most southerly point was reached by Captain Rossin 1840, He penctrated as far as 78 degrees, 11 seconds, The ice bergs from the an- tarctic region are in the shape of great blocks quite different from the irregu- lar masses which come from the north. Tt is thought by scientists that they can only be formed on vast acres of land, and from this theory they predicate the “great continent.” Our knowledge of the southern region of the globe 1s thus very nebulous, and it would be interest- ing to have our_curiosity regarding it satisfied, in soff—degree, but this will not justify us in making such a moloch of the south pole as that of the north has proved to be. If the proposed exploration ts carried out such precautions should be taken that human lives need not be jeopar- dized more than would be inevitable in an undertaking of this kind. — Tne failure of Roscoe Conkling, in arguing the Virginia case before the supreme court of the United States to gratify the state sovereignty views of his clients and democrats generally, was a very great disappointment to them, and the distinguished lawyer has suf- fered a great decline in their regard. There is no man who could better stand this than Mr. Conkling, particularly when the fact that induces it must con- firm and strengthen the respeet of all who regard him as a thoreughly honest and straightforward man. He accepted the case of Virginia asa lawyer and as a lawyer he presented it to the court. There is no charge that any point wus omitted or inadequately shown which it was necessary the court should know in order to have a full unde standing of the case of his clients. He was not called upon to dis- cuss the question of state sover- eignty, but if it be granted that he might have properly done so it will be obvious to every fair-minded man that there was greater propriety in leaving the issue of federal and state rights in- volved to be passed upon by the court without advice or suggestion from the counsel, ' It was sufficient to clearly sct on any civil process has not been af- teenth century. tariff reform speech boforo congress shull re- assemble, democrats of New York on their state ticket the republicans still controlthe legislature of that state. : posed of as a presidential candid two things. other is Blaine's party, Dboth of Montgomery, are eindidates for the scat of § United States senate.

It costs money to secure the services of Roscoe Conkling, an@ he renders them in his own way, very generally with effect. We doubt 4f thore is money enough in Virginia to induce him to do violence to his convictions and stultify his record, which a8 to the question of state Sovereignty ought to be well and generally known. Tuk papers of Philadelphia are dis- cussing the Married Women's act, as pussed by the last legislature of the Key- stone state. One paper argues that while married women have long been favorites of the courts ot Philadelphia, the new law does not deprive the woman of the special privileges hereto- fore enjoyed by her. Another paper says: *“The husband is still exclusively responsible for the maintenance of his wife and children. He is still liable for his wife's debts contracted for neces- sities, and Judge Thayer has just de- cided that the old law which protects amarried woman from imprisonment fected by the new law.” Andyet women are clamoring for their rights, while the husband tearfully and sadly submits to tho wrongs and outrages of this Nine- A NEW YORK court has decided that a bucket shop is a gambling house. An appeal has been taken, and it is to bo hoped the decision will bo affirmed by the higher courts. The only certain way of getting rid of these pests, which are responsible for the ruinof thousands of men financially and morally, and which are a source of damage tothe commereial interests of the country in the encouragement they give to specu- lation, is to proscribe them as gambling institutions subject to the penalties pro- vided by law for other forms of gamb- ling.
