Mr. Draper begins hy saying that the common imjpression that cducation may be for geod or for evil scems to be without authority. I'It emn ouly bo for good. It has referonce only to mental and moral deveiopment, and in its true sense is the harmonious develop= ment of the whole human nation up to the best and highest possibilities, The state being an association of individuals for the maintenance of rights essential toall its members and which can be en- forced, and existing for the better ob- taining of the true ends of each individ- val and of socicty collectively, then one of the principal ends for which states are organized is the production of ed uca- tion. To what extent ought the state to provide the facilities and helps for the mental and moral development of its citizens, and how far should it go in controlling the directions inwhich such development should pro- coed and the processos by which it may succoed, are the questions which Mr. Draper propounds and answers He insists that the state must strictly wed the principle that all individuals must bo treated alike, that one must no ne helped at the cost of another. Unless genoral authority is exercised and sub- stantial aid extended, ignorance and viciousness grow more rapidly than intel meo and virtue, there- the state must provide educational lities and must control and di wlonal processes so far a8 may nocessary to its own socurity most porfect attuinmont of the ends for which it exists, Without undertaking to determine how much and what ¢ tion the state should vrovide, and what may wisely and safely be left to the af- fluent circumstances or the intelli- gence and enterprise of indjviduals, Mr. Draper suggests some gen- oral principles the obsorvance of which he regarded as essential. The state, ho says, manifestly ought not to requiro any of its members to pay for the support of education to which he may properly object on conscientious grounds. Public education must be along lines which are not of doubtful expedienc nd which are clearly of public and gen- eral utility, The elements of an educas tion must be provided most thoroughly and completely, for these may be o tended to all children, but be- yond an clementary education the true rule would be different in different cases. Great states must necessarily make larger and bettor vroyision for public education than small ones, for large cities and thickly settled torritory greatly augment the proba- bility of illite| and vice. It is nov enougrh for the state to attempt to edu- cate the poor alons. The education of the vich and poor togetheris of the highest public importance. Education by the state necessavily extendsso far asto effect discipline, exact obedience, and inspive respect for authority, The government must dovelop a feeling of jalty and w spirit of patriot- and it en do it more effectually in connection with public ed- ional worke than in any other way. And whatever the state does undertake todo it must Go with thoroughness and complotoness. [t must not undertake to doeverything, but it must have good reasons for what it does, its plans must be well defined, its purvoses must bo well understood and it must execute them with precision. It is not nec y that the state shall limit the extent ol the course of instru tion, but it way very properly say that certain branches are of gen- oral nec ty and must be pul sued. The to need not say who shall teach the schools, but it is bound to say who shall not, if it expects to attain de- sirable results. Without assuming to Limit or controlall of the publiceduca- tional work which a locality may wish to undertake, the state is still bound to seo that what is done shall conform to its general plans and purposes, and shall be of such a character that it may he properly supported by funds vesuiting rom gon eral taxation. It is also bound to see that the oducational facilities in all localities are sufficient xtent and of such character as will insure vesults which it desms essentinl to the well being of the state. Without on- Qorsing all the views advanced by M, Draper, it can be said thatin the cardinal principle that. he advocates, that of close governmentai supervision and con- trol of educational affairs, heis undouht- edly in line with tho most intelligent opinion on this subject. THE SUGAR BOUNTY AGAILN. Altliough the last legislature offered a bounty of one cent a pound for all best sugar manufactured in Nebraska, it made no appropriation for its payment. Tt thus happens that the Grand Island company, having manufactured 736,400 pounds of sugar, must go to the legisla- ture and ask forthe payment of a special claim of $7,364. It is to be hoped, for the credit of the state, that the claim will bo promptly allowed. Thore is still talk of repeali the bounty. Thedemand for this action vests on an entirely suporficial view of tho questions involved. In 1800 the United States sent $00,000,- 000 to Europe to pay for boat sugar. Of this amount Nebraska alone contributed at least $1,500,000. Besides the sum sent abroad, Nebraska also paid nearly $2,000,000 more for the item of sugar, which went to the planters of Louisiana and the West Indies. These figures are based on tho returns of the last census, showing the state’s population to be 1,056,000, and on an annual consumption of 55 pounds of sugar per caplta. When Nebraska becomes able to sup- ply her own sugar the great sum of $3,600,000, now sent mostly to foreign countries will be retained in circulation at home. That is one of the bone fits which the people receive in return for the bounty they pay. Meanwhile. the sugar industry will assist to bulld up cities and towns and to profitubly divers- ify our agriculture. It will also draw to this state, in time, much of the moncy mow sent abroad from other states to pay for boot and cane sugar raised by foreign | farmors, It is not to be thought for an instant at the state will ropudiate the oblig n already ineurred under the bounty, | or that it will eripple its most promising | industry by repealing the law that largely helped to plant it on our soil. ——— THE HISTORICAL SOCIETY, According to the report of its tary the Nebraska®State Histor al g0+ ciety is in a flourishing condition. Dur- | ing the pastiwo years over 1,500 volumes to pioneers of Ne w and in- sting mementoes of 1ncidents that ve oceurred since the settlement of the state have been added to its valuable collection. Up to this time the soc has reccived very little material hel p from the wte. Its work has been almost entirely done by its founders, who for the most purt are citizens who have been prominent in the earlier history of the state, Seeretary Howard makes an interest- ing statement of his views of the scope and importance of the society’s work. He sa Its proper object, [ think, Is, therefore, first, it should aim to collect everything, written or unwritten, necessary for a com- plete history of Nebraska, It should furnish aterial for an exhaustive bibliography of commonwealth, Secondly, it should contain all the most valuable materil relat- ing to the sister states of the northwest, Thirdly, it should, so far as possible, com- priso local histories and othier publicationsjfor every other state of the union, as well s the documents published by the uational go vernment. In Now England and nearly all the older states the historical societies are among the most honored and most use- ful of public institutions. Thoy are the treasuro houses wherein tho people hourd the relics and the records of thoir ancestors, and preserve the written as wellas the unwritten history of their development from the timo the firs white man set foot on theirsoil. No im- portant general or local history has been written in this country without consulting their rich stores of n\[uln..t- Llnll o Historical socioty of N bre s equally important work to do.

The attendance of representatives of the oreanization is expected to ho unusually large, and as it willbe one of tho most 1mportant con- ventions in the history of tho alliance the result of its deliberations will be re- garded with great and gonoral interest. Meeting at a time when the agricultural interest is uppermost in public attontion and the volco of the farmer is exerting & more po- tential influen in the count than alinost ever bofore, the proceed- ings of tho convention of the National Alliance will have much more than or- dinary significance. There will be found elsewhore in our columns o communication from the sec- retary of the Alliance, Mr., August Post, in which he defincs the character and objects of the organization. The funda- mental law of the Alliance requires that its methods shall be absolutely non- partisan, and in rigidly adhering to this wise principle the secretary says a moral vantage ground has been se- cured the importance and value of which cannot be too highly estimated. It has enabled the Alliance to obtaia for its representations and demands a ve- spectful and earnest consideration which it could hardly have secured under dif- forent conditions, and has won for ita degree of public confidence that is a source of strength in all its efforts to promote the interests and welfare of thoso engaged in agriculture. The National Farmers’ Alliance has donea most valuable work in both an educational and social way among its mem bers. 1t has stimu- lated careful and thorough study in various dirvections wherve the the - terests of tho agricultural class are con- corned, has impressed upon its member- ship the necessity of a just regard for the rights of others, and has created throughout the organization asentiment of wholesome conservatism which has thus far prevented it from being drawn into the support of any radical or re- actionary policies, Itis safe to assume that the forthcoming convention will do nothing to impair the claim to public confidence which the National Farmers’ Allinnce enjoys. BOOTH! N AMERICA. Probably no book of its kind ever pub- lished has created so profound an im- pression on the middlo and upper classes of the werld as Booth’s **Darkest Eng- land.” His plan for relieving the hungry, the naked and the vicious of a partof their load of poverty andsin is in o fair way to be tried in the larger cities of Great Britain, Why is it not appli- cable, at least in part, to the larger cities of America. The existence of a mass of poverty and ignorance in the midstof the splendor of civilization is not less striking in Boston, New York and Chicago than it isin London, In this country it has found no master hand to draw its por- trait and propose a remedy, as Booth has done for London, but it has been the subject of countless novels, sermons and phillipies, none of which have succoeded in making an impression upon the object of their solicitude. Within three months a prominent magazine published a sym- posium by noted divines on the subject, “What Shall Bo Done with Desti- tution in Boston?” The worthy sug- gestions of the noted divines have beon luid away on tho library shelves with the magazine that con- tained them, but the destitute people of Boston ave shivering In thoir tenemonts and enduring the hardships of an unusually cruel jwintor, Why not give Booth's idea a chanee? The fundamental idea of “Darkest England” is that there is work, food and clothing enough in this world to keep everybody busy, satisfied and warm. Whether the principle is economically correct or not does not matter, It is at least true that the well-to-do and the rich waste emongh food, clothing and other articl&to do much to relieve the suffering of yhe very poor. It s also | true that sopart of the poverty that xists is @nb to the operation of the no causes that aro responsible for @great wealthyand that the tendencies of the day defte the rich and the poor further and farther apart. 1f Genersl Booth has wstiggestion that will help to caualize the pfosperity of the times,and to bring the upper and lower classes closer together, itdi¥ns worthy to be studied in America'n'In Europe. It is not tikely that any large fund can immediately be raised to attempt an experiment with the whole of Booth's plan in New York, Boston or Chicago. But there is apparently no reason why some of its simplo foatures cannot be put into operation with revenues already availablo for the relief of the poor. For instance, is there anything impract about tho sal brigade, which would systematically collect good broken als from the homes of the well-to-do and apply it tho sustenance of the men, women and children who cannot get enough to eat? What is there to provent the adoption of tho suggestions for cheap shelter for the homeless, or the labor yard where men and women can earn at the commonest trades the small sum re- quired to pay for bed and board under the Booth plan? 1s there not at least the germ of a good idea in the sugges- tion of a labor exchange, of a poor man's nd even of a poor man’s bank, which would enable the mun who must horrow money on his coat, to buy bread for his wife and children, to obtain it for as low a rate of interest as the mer- chant pays? Itisin these eimpler details of the scheme of **Darkest England™ that thero appears to be some hope of good for the great American cities, The broader foatures of the plan, such as the colonies in city, country and over-sea, the indus: 1 villages and the industrial and re- ligious institutions, may well bo left for Booth to illustrate by their practical ings in England. So much of the an as deponds only on the organization of system which shall apply the waste of the prosperous to the sustenance of the very poor is e Wt once.

An exposi- in the city of Kings- amaica, this week, in which the governments of all the countries of the western hemisphere will be represented oxcept the United States. It appears that this government was not invited to participate, and report has it that there is a great deal of indignation in official circles in Washington over what is assumed to be an inten- tional and dclibérate snub. Of course the idea 18 absurd that Mr. Blaine or anybody else connected with the government s the least bit an- noyed because the United States wasnot invited to bo represented in a colonial fair, but if it bs true that the British government d. sd to endorse the ef- forts of the managers of the exposition to secure the participation of this coun- try, tha fact di show a feeling of com- al unfriendliness which might war- ant o small measure of indignation, Tt s easy to believe that the tory govern- ment of Great Britain is quite capable of such action. THERE i8 not a city e or west with the population of Omaha that cannot boast of one or more market houses where meats, poultry, vegetables and provisions can be procured direetly from the producer by the consumer. In all other cities these market houses are not only self-sustaining, but they produce a revenue, The greatest advantage of the market house to a city is the cheapen- ing of the cost of living to the middle and wage-earning classes, and the facil- with which the health officers can arry on the inspection of all the food products that are placed on sale, By cheapening the cost of living to its workingmen Omaha would be in better condition to compete with eastern manu- facturers, We are in the heart of the corn belt where all food products can be laid down at our door much cheaper than they ave sold for in any other part of the country, All we need is a place whero the producer and consumer can be brought together, Tho question is how much longer will Omuha remain with- out a market hous CoLORADO has developed a genius whose inventive skill promises to de- prive the hangmun of his occupation.
