A large portion of the coal neces- gary to supply the people of, our state eould be brought from mines at this season of the year when traffic is light and when the movement of crops has mot yet set in. The output of coal in the winter 1s far from equalling the demand. Moveover, at that period of the year the rolling stock of railroad eompanics is unequal to the task. By stocking the interior of the state now a coul famine, which so often threatens us, cun easily be averted.

The subject of public velief, the froit- ful topic of pauperisin and how it shall be dealt with, end the obligations of the state to care. for its poor, are notnew themes of discusgion. They have for be- centuries received the thoughtful con- sideration of the wisest men, and it seems cortain that they must continue to command attention for centuries to come. Great progress has certainly been made, chicfly within the past cen- tury, toward correct and efficient meth- ods of public relicf and in the direction of reducing pnuperism. Recent statis- tics show that the nuntber of paupers in England relatively to population is very © much smaller: than fifty years - ago, while ' as to - the methods of publi elief then and now the contrast is as great as between the conditions of semi-barbarism and those of a full-rounded civilization. A Progress nearly as great has been made in some of the other Buropran nations, though undoubtedly in this particular England stands first among the nation In the United Stites pauperism has had a much more vigorous growth than would seem possible with the great op- portunities which the country of industry and thrift, but the fact is not inexplicable. A great deal of the pau- pevism here is due to the injudicious liberality, public and private, which offers a . premiwm to indolence and thriftlessness. Doubtless, ulso,we are in- débted to Burope for a great deal of - paupevism which a rigid. en- forcement of the laws would keep. out. As to miethods of public relief, they are no where receiving more carveful at- tention than in this country, and we are undoubtedly making progress, But there is still a very great deal to be learned before a reasonably perfect policy shall have been reached respect- ing the general question of caring for the poor and of providing methods for prevention and reduction of pauperism. In the last number of the Political Seience Quarterly the subject of public poor relief is discussed with considera-~ ble elaboration by Prof. Henry W. Farnam. We cannot attempt to even outline the arguments of the professor regarding certain theories, some of them centuries old, as to the obligations of the state to establish and maintain E system of poor velief, and we must pass over a great deal of interesting matter to reach its application to the following practical questions. What should be the scope of the state’s aetion regarding the poor? Is it forits interest to recog- nize a legal vight to relief on the part of the person aided? What should be its relation to private charity? As to the first question Professor Farnam ob- serves that the state should, as far pos- sible, endeavor to strike at the root of pauperisin vather than mervely prune its branches, The duty of the govern- ment is not fultilled by merely distrib- uting relief. *If the chief rcason for government; interfevence lies in the failure of the struggle for exist- ence to bring wbout the survival of the fittest in the moral and economieal sense, then ail me ures which do not aim ultimately at th result are but palliatives, not rex dies. While, therefore, the state should be exceedingly cautious in applying methods of relief, lest the very means it uses shall aggravate the evil, it should not hesitidte to go beyond the simple giving of velief, if it can thor- oughly satisfy itself by experiment that such action will tend to diminish the amount of relief needed in the future.” Regarding the second question Pr fessor Farnam takes the ground that it is not in accordance with the welfure of the state to recognize a legal right on the part of the poor to relie 1f, as he thinks should be the cuse, “‘the final aim of the poor laws to make all classes of the population self-supporting, the recognition of a vight to be sup- ported vegardless of one’s own actions, or of the right to have work, regardless of one's own efforts to seek it, must un- dermine that independence which is our aim and destroy one of the strongest incentives to self-support.” Numecrous historical examples are cited to show that the recognition of a legal right to relief conflicts’ with the very end for which poor relief exists. Regarding the relation of public relief to private charity, Professor that the extent to mént eares for the itselt. to ot dane by private « It cannot be niined by a hard and f vernment should resrict its ch Farnam observes which the govern: poor should adjust of - work thitt.is rt. tvitls, Flic panid tate loot. at pub orex prie indo~ ction ty aceor ing' as is or can un to do. for se charity: An enforeed Lievir partake of the na- ture of charity or bring forth the fruits of A mers machine sueh lepartment of publicehari- i At Lo become, enn ne creise a personal and ol uld therefore avoid that “will tend to weaken the beneficial effects of veal charity.

For years the tenunt farmers on the **estates™ of 1his foreigner were subject to the same indignities and rack-renting system which this man in- troduced more thun twenty yearsago in Tipperary, Ireland. The unhappy tenant who onee found himself on Tand- lord Scull and in Illinois became object of indignity and extortion. The flagrant abuse of his authorivy as lund- lord in o with all pringiples of woused a strong popular fecling against this man. The people of Tlinois would not stand it. As a result a lu was passed compelling aiien landowne to dispose of their realty within six years under penalty of forfeiture un in the meantime they becoms citizens of the United States. Events have proven that Landlord Soully has preforred. to sell his acres rather than to becomeé naturalized. What he will do with the vast quantity of land which he holds in other states 18 not known. His illinois experience has been an expensive lesson to him. He probably has learned by this time that the people of America will not tolerate his vieious methods. 1t is said that hi owhs many thousand acres in Nuckolls county, in this state. There have been no- loud complaints of abuse from that section, but My, Scully may rest assured that if his e ssive rent W gross evietion policy be exercised in this state, short work will be made of his rights to Nebraska soil noepi- od o pox A NUMBER of experimentsare about to be tried at the Chieago Umon stock yards to ascortain whether Texun fevor contagious tonative cattle. The sult of the investigation will be watehed with great interest by the cattle men of the country, Forsome s past cattie have been afilicted with this peculiar disease, said .to be transmitted from Texas cattle to native stock. There has never been conclusive proof to this off and it is purposed to ' sottle this question once for all. A series of exposures of native northern cattle with Texans is to be made with a view of determining whether or not southern cattle can convey fever to northern cattle, and whether, if any northern cattle contract the Texan fever, they can reconvey it to other nativ It is probable that in the course of the investigation, which is to extend over some months, the commission appointed will extend the inquiry by endeavoring to find a medicinal remedy to check the disease if found in Texan or domestic cattle. For that rveason the report of the commission ta be presented at the next meeting of the National Consoli- dated Cattle Grow in November will be very important to the eattle industry of the eountr re- T annual congress of the National Prison association of the United States convened in Boston last night and will bo in session until next Thursday. The objoct of this association is to obtain trustworthy facts and opinions reluting to criminals and to dise; measures and recommend legislation for the pre- vention and repression of erime. The management of prisons, the carc and discipline of eriminals, and all cognate matters, receive intelligent and careful consideration, and the association has done a most important service in im- proving the character of the prisons and reformatorics of the country and causing the abandonment of practices repuguant to the spirit of the age.
