While other cities are closed against unfor- tunate refugees from the fever stricken districts Louisville bids them welcome. It is to be hoped that other cities situated as Louisville, where there is little danger of an epidemic, will act as humanely. Farner MARrTIN, of Dakota City, has disposed of the North Nebraska Argus. Au anxious public awaits with breathless interest information as to whether Father Martin has also dis- posed of all his rights, title and inter- st in the thrilling serial story, penned by the patriarch of Nebraska journal- ism, “Love and Law.” A CORRESPONDENT asks: “Ts it nec- essary to take the usual oath when ob- taining naturalization papers, or will an affivmation (instead of the oath) be sufficient.” The law provides that all declarations by aliens relating to zenship shall be made on oath, the form of which is duly set forth in the natur- alization papers. An aflivmation is not t. A CHICAGO bootblack has announced his intention to devote the receipts of his “shining” business for the next week to the yellow fever sufferers. When it is considered that under ordi- nary circumstances he does a prosper- ous’ business, his receipts during the next week will be considerable and will prove a helpful contribution to the plague-stricken. TH1s free trade in the matrimonial market will have to stop. Last week four American heiresses pledged their hand and their fortunes to 1mpecunious foreign noblemen. During the same period four and twenty poor but honest Bwedish maidens landed in New York under contract to marry. All this going on right in the face of an overstocked market of old maids and bachelors at home. ANOTHER 1ustance of profit-sharing between employer and employes has taken place this year. The milling firm of Charles A. Pillsbury, of Minneapolis, Ras just divided forty thousand dollars, wepresenting a part of the profits made during the last twelve months, The e periment will attract attention among factory and mill owners whoare anxious to secure the best results in their enter- prises and wish to avoid wage contro- versies with employes. THERE is no attached to a meambership of the board of education, but then there are perquisities. It has just leaked out that the agent of a Grand Rapids school desk company made o tender of one hundred dollars to an ex-member of the board for hisin- fluenco with his former colleagues, and it is also alleged that one or two mem- bers were handsomély rewarded for throwing their weight into the scale. This explains why certain patriots want to serve the people without pay and even spend money to procurc a seat *upon the school board. A ¥rew days ago the Swodish popula- tion of Minnesota celebrated the two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the _ first sottlement of Swedes in America. I'he colony which in 1638 settled in what is now the state of Delaware was short-lived, One-logged Peter Stuy- vesant, the famous Duteh governor of Now Amstordam, swooped dowa ono _day on Fort Christina and put an end to New Sweden, 13ut the fall of their wossessions in the new world did not $top the Swedes from coming to Amer- dcs. Years aftor, when the memory of New Sweden and even the name of its A= sturdy conquoror were forgotien, tho " uir sons of Scandinuvia emigrated to Ahis country and helped to swell the { thrifsy population of the great west.

The passage by the senate of the bill ereating o department of agriculture, to be equipped officially as are the other executive departments of the g Dle that tl agricultural intorest of the count speedily have a mor OIS PO sentation in the government, it is to be hoped with to that in- o st Tho department having functions which should have specitic supervision of the agricultural industries has been mude in every congress for a number of years, and the promise that it will be consummated is due to the increasing influence of the west in that body. The demand for such a departmént has come from the west and has found its chief opposition in the east. The market gardeners and small agriculturists of the later section have never taken any interest in the question, having surily no enlarged ideas of the great- ness the agricuitural industries of the country, and quite generally the representatives of that section in congress have been hos- tile to the proposition for ere- ating a department of agriculture. Formerly the south manifested little concern in the matter for the reason that the agriculture of that section was not greatly diversified. The west, however, with its vast agricultural de- velopment and its greater reliance upon this source of prosperity and wealth, has urged that agriculture, as the foundation of the national welfare, merited a larger recognition in the government and a more comprehen- sive care than could be given it by a mere bureau. It has been main tained that an executive department of agriculture, such as exists in Germany, France and other European countries, would enable this vast and expanding interest, as yet far from its possible development, to ceive more and better attention from the government, greatly to the common welfare. This view has been making steady progress, despite the obstruction of th disinterested and ‘the advocates of a narrow economy, and there is now very favorable promise that the country will have adepartment of agriculture organ- ized are the other execut depart- ments of the government, @nd hav- the authority to do something than to issue crop bulletins and distribute seeds. The mat- ter of establishing such a de- parunent is purely practical in its char- acter, and we may be largely guided in our expectations regarding its probable usefulness by the history of similar de- partments in the old world. In several countries of Burope agriculture has its ministerial representatives in the gov- ernment, and its interests and welfare receive the most careful consideration. There does not appear to be any good reason why the greatest agricultural nation in the world should not devote a like attention to this vast interest, which is the enduring basis and bul- < of our national progress and pros- ’ne ment, makes it pr gront y will larger benofit offort ox to oreato n cutive more Art Iture in Omaha. Artand art culture have up to this time received but indifferent attention in Omaha. Tt was too much to expect art culture in a comparatively young city whose activities were all centered in commercial and industrial enter- prises. But we are now entering a new era. The evolution which Omaha has undergone within the past two years in her architecture precedes by natural degrees the transition to metropolitan culture, which has its culminating point in art. The preliminary steps toward making Omaha an art center have been taken. An art asso- cintion has been organized which gives great promise of vitality and usefulness. With the Hon. George W. Lininger, whois one of the most liberal patrons and amateurs of art in the west, at its head, and a membershipof over seventy professional artists and amateurs, the Omaha Art society is destined to be- come an important factor in art cultur in this city, Mr. Lininger has gener- ously offered the use of his famous gal- lery to the society for its first exhibi- tion, which will take place some time in November. In this interim those who desire to encourage art culture in Omaha should manifest their interest in the movement by joining the soc A National Nuisance. The blunt old soldier, General Sher- man, says that of all the nuisances on the earth the American style of hand- shaking is the worst, He has accord- ingly adopted, when in large assembli the Chinese fashion, as he ealls it, of shaking his own hands,a practice long ago adopted by George Francis Train on all oceasions. General Sher- man greatly amused the banquelters at the Union League club in New York alfew nightsagoby giving all of thew a parting shkae in this fashion. Sherman of General t amount his time, and has done a handshaking in therefore knows whereof he speak: when he describes the practice, as public men are subjected to.it, as a great nuisance. It is indeed something more than this in being a rather serious infliction, even when the muscular powers of the victim ave excoptional. Al am Lin- enln had some sovere expariences at handshaking, once or twice being forced to discontinue it, and Mr. Lin- coln had a strong vight arm which had known what hard and vigorous exereise s. General Grant on more than one ocension, after courageously bearing g suffering as long as possible, was compelled to forego handshaking, and he onve spoke of sveh oxperiences a8 the most trying ordenls he hgd ever passed through. My. Blaine has had a ¢ oot deal mere of thizsort of exercise tharn was good for him, and General Harrison will uue | doubtedly welcome the tune whea the delogations of handshakers shall come uo more, i Houdshakicg as a method of giving exprossion 1o one's gratification at meat, inga fripnd is not objectionpble, but the gustom as promiscuously practiced caunpt be conmended., AL any rate, the practice of imposing this hands shaking ordeal upon public men by gront crowds made up of all sorts of peo- ple is one that ought to be consigned to “innocuous desuetude, "and if the exam- v set by General Sherman shall come to be generally imita he will have performed one of the most important servicos of his useful career. e Weather Bureau, cction by the senate of the proposition o transfer the weather burean of the signal serviee from the artment to the proposed agri- cultural department may not be a mat- tor of very great importance. The country ow very much iess as to which department the bureau is at- tached than it does for an improvement of this service in the matter of predic- tions. Nobody who knows anything about the subject will say that the weather burean is not Swmportant, or that it has not done much <aluabie service. Referring to it in the conese of adebate in the senate u few days ago Mr. Dawes said that though defective and not producing the best possible r sults, it had achieved more than an other systom in the world of that kind. “There is in no other country,” said the Massachusetts senator, **such an organ- ization that has accomplished such mar- velous and useful results as this.” In equally strong terms Senator Platt com- mended the labors of the weather bureau as having coutvibuted more to the knowiedge of atmospheric and climatic phenomena than any other insti- tution of the Ikind in the world. *‘I think he said, “the result of the knowledge which has been attained through the deliberations and the studies and the experiments of this signal s e is in advance of the kuowledge of all the vest of the world at the presenttime. 1 think we muy boast ourselves that we are a step fur- ther along the rond to knowledge in this subtle realm than any other people.™ This is ex ought to war de sellent testimony, which tisfy every veasonable man that it isdesirable to continue this service and vender it more thorough and efficient und useful improve- ment, which it confessedly needs, The question is whether the desived pro- gress is more likely to be effected by 1 taining the wenther branch of the vice, which is practically all theve is of it, in the military department of the government or transferring it to a civil department. The chief argument of those who advocate the transfer is that the service is essentially civil in its character, its connection with the n tary affairs of the government bein comparatively unimportant, but on the other hand it is maintained that it would be extremely unwise to take this work out of the hands of the men who have become accomplished in it and intrust it to the hands of those who have had no ex- perience, and who would have to vely purely upon theory resulting from a superficial study and of the knowledge which has been acquired asamateurs. There can be no question as to the force of this objection to a change, and in associntion with other not less import- ant objoctions induced the senute to verse its action of last year. when it voted in favor of- the proposed transfer. It will perhaps be wise on the part of the house to coneur in the action of the senate if thereby the question can be settled long enough to enable congress to ascer- tain and provide whatever may be nec- essary to remedy as far as possible the admitted defects in the weather se e and encourage a higher degree of efti- ciency. Very little improvement and progress can be hoped for so long as congress is undecided as to where this service shall be continued, and mean- while the marine, commercial and farm- ing interests will continue to have cause of complaint that the service is unsatisfactory. The country wants the weather bureau, but it wants it materi- ally improved. THE members of the Society of the Armyof the Cumberland have just held their annual reunion at Chicago. Gen- eral Rosecrans was elected president, and among the vice presidents General Harrizon’s name appears. The reunion of the army corps which achieved so much glory in the war was saddened by one thought only. The face of General Sheridan, for many years president of the society, was missed. Inthe tributes pard to his memory his old comrades v called with pride his great achie ments. It is in such gatherings as these that the flames of friendship kindled on the battle field burn all the brighter through the years of peace. Tue efforts of a number of Omaha physicians to invoke aid for the yellow fever sufferers at Jacksonville, sec- onded by prominent citizens, must com- mend i to benevolent and humane people. The rapid spread of the scourge to other cities and whole tions of the south may. however, re- quire a broadening of the channel of substantial sympathy. It may become necessary to extend national and state aid to the stricken people, and provide the means for subsistence of all who may be in want and distress. The in- itiative hus alrendy been taken in con- gress and in the large cities. PHILADELPHIA is considering the question of burning its garbage. Doubtless this will ultimately be the practice in all lavge cities of this coun- try, as it is in most of the cities of Great Britain and some of the other countries of Europe. In England they have what they call **destructors,” and the process of burning garbage in Birmingham, Mauchester, Glasgow, and other cities, has been brought to perfection with the most satisfactory results, On both san- itary and economical grounds the best way to dispose of garbage is by burn- Ling it WiiLE theve isso much fuss made about the bar committee for admitting new lawyers to practice before the Douglas county bar, it may uot be in- appropriate to inquire why the court should not also have a standing com- mittee on disbarment, whose busivess it sheuld be to put on the black list eveby iawyer who pockets collectiops made for clients and shows himself te be a bilk and frand generally, Sueh o committec would have more business in vs than the bar examiners are s in twelve months, T fivst yea rh license in Min- nesota has proven asuccess in that state as it has wherever the law is tried.

Laws will observe an appreciable shortage in his vote this fall as a fruit of his recent action on the board of transportation, if we read the signs right.” The Greeley Leader is positive that “Gree- ley coupty will roll up a republican majority of fifty voisa this fall instead of the demo- cratic majority us heretofore." Some candidate has-ayidently shake hands with the editor of the Burtonian, for he sa, “A man pass you by and recognize you only wants you to vote for him not your confidence and support, no what political faith he may be." The Columbus Journal concludes a lodge editorial on the democratic villification of Governor Thayer, as follows: **The talk con- cerning Thayer being u monopolist is bosh, T'o be in public life as long us he has, with the high positions he has occupicd, and to be worth only about 2,00), is, of itself, almost enough to refute the flimsy li The Madison Reporter still keeps the name of G. L. Laws at the head of its editorial columns as its candidate for secretary of state, but remarks: ‘‘Sccretary % using his influence to delay the action of the board of transportation puts money into the pockets of the railroads and empties the vockets of the people and at the same time asks them to elect him again this fall, that he may repeat the operation. Every voter, re- gardless of party, should see that he is well snowed under. Teach him to be honest at least.™ The Ulysses Dispateh sizes up Laws' action as follows: “Secretary of State Laws will lose the votes of a considerable number of anti-monopoly republicans by his sudden flop to the railroads, just at a time when Treas- urer Willard and Attorney-General Leese needed his votes to reduce the freight rates in this stute. And he deserves to loose them, This paper sots him down as a fraud, trying to hoodwink the people whom he never in- tends to aid.” The Nebraska City Press has discovered another postmaster whp is an “offensive partisan.” It says: " “Tlv: Press is told that the postoftice at Syracuse is being used in un improper way to assist the democratic cause; that ‘pernicious activity' is apparent to the patrons, who find forced upon them copios of partisan papers for which they never sub- ived and which they do not want, the who handles the mails insisting on aking thewm.”” ‘The Grand Island Independent touches on the state campaign in the following vigorous manner: *“The proposition of the democrati state central committee to fight it outon the ‘*prohibition’ and ‘tariff reform’ issues is per- fectly vidiculous, There is no prohibition issue between the republican und demo- eratic parties, The wmajority of both partics doubtless is against it, and only a minority of either for it. This issue, if it comes up a all in the legislature, will have nothing to do with the old party lin: Meoewbers of both old parties will be on either side of this question. Aud with the ‘tariff reform,' ‘protective systom,” ‘free trade,” or whatever it may be called, we in Nebraska have nothing at ail to do. Our state and leg- islative officers have no infiuence on these questions. The only question, on which all our elections turn, is the railroad issue; the quostion whether the railroads or the people shall rule our state. And the democratic state committee is guilty of a political crime, in obscuring this true issue and raising false issues. In acting thus the committee shows, that it does not understand the situation, or will assist the railroads.” “Mr. Laws should not be allowed to think that he can deceive the people of che state by long letters and explanations,” says the York Times. “They do not want a secretary of state for what he can say, but for what he does. State ofticers cannot learn too soon that the average Nebraskan is not a chump, but on the other hand is a smart, far-seeing and wide-awake individual, and if you want to fool him you will have to devise some smarter schome than Mr. Laws has yot de- vised. His resolution was w! the railrouds avanted and not what the prople wanted, and they know it just as we does Mr. Laws. It will not help him any to try to throw mud at Mr. Leose, a man who took the right and honorables position in this matter, has shown a disposition to make the railroad companies obey the law. ‘By their fruits ye shall know them.' ‘Talk and windy news- paver articles are only chuff, and the people know the difference between it and fruit.” The Seward Reporter has no use for “Only a Farmer,” and characterizes his statements as “'surprisin “He says,” ob serves the Reporter, “that Mr. L was nominated by a convention ‘packed by a Lincoln mob," and that the people of the state will repudiate that action at the polls, ‘Only a Farmer’ says he has recently trav eled in the western part of the state, and finds a disposition to bolt Mr. Leese, from which he argues that Leese will certainly be defeated. This is the sheerest nonscnse The nomination of Mr se was made pos sible by the votes of de es from the western part of the state, aud it is not prob- able that the voters of that section will cast their ballots against him. The peopie of the western part of the state, like those living in the eastern part, are for and when the returns are footed up of the election to be held November 6, *Only a Farmer' will find that the largoest vota cast for any candi- date on the state ticket will be for William Leese for attorney general.” ——, Told in Two Lines.
