PRESIDENT HARRISON deserves and will receive an enthusiastic welcome when he visits Omaha, May 13. OMAHA needs nothing parks and boulovards. sharter provides the m them, 5o much as The amended ans for securing CARTER HARRISON says he went into the fight at Chicago to smash rings. Recent events show that Cregier went Into it to smash the ballot boxes after the election. THE state papers charge the defeat of the bill to regulate the charges of the Omaha stockyards to Hon. William H. Paxgon and his corn-cob pipe, with the emphasis on the pipe. LABORING men of Omaha have reason to look forward to the season’s work with hope. The improvement of the streots and the construction of buildings give every promise for plenty of work and fair wages. A LARGE number of applications for positions as inspectors of public work are in the hands of the board of public works. The bourd will do the public a valuable service if it will discard all roquests based merely upon political qualifications. To THE average citizen the sugges- tion that the -boulevard shall extend through the valley from Bemis park to Hanscom park, with small reservations along the route, is the correct iden. Let us have broathing places within easy reach of the homes of our working peo- ple. IN WRESTLING with the problem of court house enlargement it will be well for the commissioners to move cau- tiously. If the present court house is to be rebuilt the commissioners should en- deavor to remodel the structure without marring itsarchitectural effect. A four- story tower would not look much better on the court house square than on the Richards corner, AMONG the commendable laws enacted by the late legislature is the act requir- ing railway companies toequip their box cars with such’ automatic couplers or drawbars as shall avoid the necessity of going between the ends of the cars to couple or uncouple them. To railroad men the enforcement of this law means the savingof many lives and an escape from the constant danger. of being uaimed. THE board of public works, acting upon the suggestion made by THE BEE, proposes to have an ordinance intro- duced to compel all property owners within the fire limits, whose sidewalks are ont of repair, to replace them with stone, coment or brick pavements. It is to be hoped that the council will promptly pass the ordinance. It will be the first step toward abolishing the plank walk nuisance, THE difficulties between the Stock- yards exchange and the American live stock commission company have been adjusted and the growers' organization is admitted to the exchange on even terms with all other members, This ends an acrimonious controversy, to set- tie which appeal was made to the courts, | in which a case is now pending. It was also the proximate cause of the effort made to pass a law in the legislature regulating the matter in dispute, © The fight is still on at Kansas City and Chi- cago. —— THE builders’ exchange of this city is oarnestly bent upon opening a school in which elementary instruction in the building trades shall be given to youth seeking such training. It will be a manual training school under the super- vision and direction of practical every- day workmen, Such schools are in suce cessful operation in New York, Boston and other eastorn cities, and Omaha proposes to keep abreast with the met- ropolitan ideas of other enterprising centers of commerce and population. The idea is commendable and is creat- ing no little enthusiasm among the members of the exchange from among whom the materials for the building, and tools will be obtained gratis. THE PRESIDENTS VISIT. The visit of the chief executive of the nution toany of its cities not immedi- ately ndjncent to the capital is a mem- blo event. Our country i so wide in s, nnd its cities are so numerous that on great trunk transportation likely to be favored. In 1887 wnd spenta few hours. s honor and the citizens spared no ef- fort to ehow to himself and party their appreciation of the distinction he had afforded Omaha. Large crowds of ple from all the region adjac the city, It was the largost gathering of out of town people the city had ever witnessed. President Hurrison has included Omaha in his tour to the const and turn and will be the honored guest the ity May 13, Omaha and Nebraska ghould tender him an ovation. The dig- nity of his office alone dewmands that the occasion be made memorable, The chief executive of the nation_ should be received with the honors belitting his oxalted station. When General Grant and President Cleveland were in Omaha all her citizons regardless of politics, treed or nationality, united to show tothem that Amoricans delight to honor Amevica's fivst citizens, President Har has especial cluims upon Omaha and Nebraska, e has on all occasions exhibited his cor- dial fecling and will to this city and state. He has not been ignorant of the growth und importance of either, and 1n recognition of the merits of both has called into prominent positions of honor and trust more Nebraskans than any predee To republicans this has been gratifying, of course, but the state at largo should not be unmindful of the honors and favors bestowed upon her citizens.: It behooves Omaha and the eitizens of this state to demonstrate their regard for the president and to this end the local authorities and those along the line of the railroad over which he will travel on his return from the Pacific st should give practical proofs of western loyalty and hospitality peo- ison good sor, THE ARMY OF PAUPERS. In the current number of an eastern review Prof. Richard T. Ely supplies some facts and suggestions regarding pauperism in the United States which are interesting and timely. Trustworthy statistical information is not to be ob- tained, owing to the fact that many of the states do not provide for gathering information on th subject, while the last national census is defective in this particular. The estimated num- ber of paupers in the country is about half a million, which Prof. Ely considers too low, and doubtless the estimate of the secretary of the New York charity organization society is neurer the truth, that placing 8,000,000 the people in the United States who are supported. wholly or in part by alms. While this number is less than 5 por cent of the population, it is still a great army to exist in a country like this, and counstitutes an evil or a disease that demands serious atten- tion. Prof. Ely estimates that the loss to the country through this army of pau- pers is mnot far from $100,000,000 annually, and is two-fold—the direct loss in the expenditures from the public purse required for their maintenance, and the indirect loss through the failure of these persons to be producérs and not consumers alone. Prof. Ely believes that for the most part pauperism is a remediable evil. Experiments in Eng- land and Germany have shown this tobe the case, and efforts in this country to mitigate the evil have in numerous in- stances proved successful. A plan of sys- tematic visitation and *of aiding the unemployed to obtain employment often produces the most satisfactory vesults. There are some willing to be self-supporting whose powers are unde- veloped, and such may advantageously receive instruction o as to enable them to take care of themselves, but where pauperism is the vesult of a moral de- fect, as it is in perhaps a majority of cases, it requires severe, though not unkind treatment. The chief causes of pauperism are heredity and environment. Intemper- ance is a potent factor, and unwise phi- lanthropy contributes its influence. The remedial roquirements suggoested by Prof. Ely a The removal of children from contaminating influences; stop- page of miscellaneous alms-giving; dis- courngement of early and thoughtless marriages; and the development of charity organization socioties. He re- gards trades unions as helpful in the contest with pauperism, but considers the chief agency of reform to be a hearty and helpful co-operation of citizens with public authorities. Pauperism and crime are allies, and there is reason to apprehend that both are steadily increasing in this country. While no serious or adequate efforts are any- where making to check their progross, yet ia the opinions of Prof. Ely modern society has suflicient vesources to cure the evil of pauperism if it would but apply them, At the recent meeting of the New York conference of Methodist ministers, tho question which excited the greatest interest and the most vigorous discussion was that of admitting women delegates to the general conference, or supreme legislative body of the Methodist Epis: copal church, The New York confer- ence voted against the proposition thren to one, and it is believed this action ve- flects the general sentiment mnong the ministry of that church, and probably also of the majority of Methodist women, There was some very spirited talk on both sides in the conference. The advocates of the admission of women insisted that the idea that women could not take part in che service was ox- ploded long ago, and they utterly re. pudiated the proposition that if women were admitted to the conferences a total revolution would follow. One minister said he could not agree with the idea that the Creator had made the sexes en- tirely soparate, one for the hearth and the other for the tield, He had found on 1ooking back to the beginning that God éreated man, male and female, in His own image. Women to- day were taking many of the places | of nt wero in | which before had been oceupied by men only, nnd he believed it wos the wish of the Savior that women should have con- trol in the churches oqually with men. On the other hand, it was contended that what was proposed was a violation ature and a violation of God's laws, Said one minister opposed to the propo- sition: “While woman does the work at home, man goes forth to secure to woman chance to do her work for Man is the natural protector of womnn, Woman is the left arm of the race. nursing it. Man is the right arm, protecting the race. In the pro- portion that woman invades the sphere of man, just in that proportion does she reflect upon us, The plaeo of womah is home. There is no home witheut wo- man, Woman cannot sit in judgment and be impartial, because she would be tolerant to the men and intolerant to the women. The best power of woman in judicial halls is her wish.” his was an exceptionall strong presentation of opposition views, but theaction of the conferance would seem to leaye no room for doubt that it met with pretty general concurrence. The general conference, which will meet in Omaha next year, will decide the question of the admission of women, and in the meantime it will be acted upon by the local conferences. The vote of the laity has already been given in favor of the proposition, but it is held that this did not indicate any eneral demand among the women of the church for the innovation, and besides only a small part of the membership voted. It is contended that if the women of the church generally desired to sit as delegates in the supreme leg lative body they ave a sufficient power to influence the pastors in their favor, and the fact that they have not united to do this shows that a large proportion of them are either opposed to the inno- vation or indifferent. The discussion of this question has been maintained for yeurs, but never before with quite as much earnestness and fervor as now, and until the general conference makes its decision ther: is not likely to be any other issue that will command greater attention in the Methodist Episcopal church. The re- sult in the general conference will, it is felt, have a far-reaching influence. If unfavorable it will tend to give a great setback to the woman suffrage move- ment, while that movement is expected to receive a vigorous impulse if the re- sult is favorable. It would be unsafe to predict from present indications what the outcomo will be. OF A GREAT NEWSPAPER. On last Friday the fiftieth anniversary of the founding of the New York b= une was celebrated in a way worthy of the distinguished career of that journal and of its eminent posi- tion among the influential new: papers of the world. A company, com- prising men of national renown in litera- ture, law and politics, filled the largest opera house on the continent and spoke in praise of the journal which half a century ago was launched by Horace Greeley, and which after some vicissitudes became a mighty power in the affairs of the government and the people. The president of the United States, the secretary of state, dis- tinguished senators and others, who could not be present, sent expressions of their high esteem for the 7yibune and of the honor in which they hold the memory of its founder, the poerless ed- itor whose fame grows greater with the advanciig years. It wasa celebration altogether proper and appropriate, and in all respects worthy and memorable. The origin and growth of the New York Trbune ought to have an interest for everybody who would bo well in- formed regarding the instrumentalities and influences that have been potent during the eventful period since the ribune was founded. The part played by that journal had much to do with shaping the course of eventsin the last half century, and making the wonderful history which must always possess a pro- found interest for mankind. It was the most powerful champion of a policy of protection to home industries. It fought with the _greatest per- sistence and struck the hardest blows against the slave power. It was a mighty influence in aiding the govern- ment by stimulating popular patriotism when rebellion sought so destroy the union, Yet few institutions that have grown to greatness and power had so humble a beginning or passed to success through such vicissitudes, The Z'ribune grew out of the memor- ablo campaign of 1840, in which Horace Greeley took a very active part and which resulted in the election to the presidency of Willlam Henry Harrison, During the campaign Mr. Greeley had greatly increased his reputation as o journalist by his editorial work on a campaign paver called the Log Cabin, and on April 8, 1841, there appeared in that paper the announcement of the ap- pearance on a week from that day of “the first numbor of a new morning Journal of politics, literature and gon- oral intelligence.” It would ‘‘contain the news by the morning’s southern , which is contained in no other " and Wwould be served to ponny per copy; mail subscribers, four dollavs per annum. As its name, Tribune, imported, it would labor to ad- vance the interests of the people, moral, socinl and political, As to politics, it promiged the new administration ‘“‘a frank and cordial, but manly and inde- pendent support, judging it always by its acts, and commending those only so far as they shall seem caleulated to sub- serve the great end of ull government— the welfare of the people.” The first number of the paper, which appeared April 10, 1841, pub- lished the death of Harrison, which oc- curred six days before. Tt soon was ar- rayed against the administration of the recreant Tyler It was also soon found necessary to raise the price totwo cents. The Tribune bogan with 600 subseribers, but the edition of the first number was 5,000, and it is recorded that it was found difficult even to give the paper away. At the end of the first week Mr, Greeley found that his expenses had been nearly six times the amount of his receipts. There was a period of struggle, not alto- gether profitless, for the Z'vibune was gaining steadily fn_public attention, and after a time Id‘l eamo to it, while a conspiracy concojtad by another paper to crush it brought popular sympathy. The subscription list and the advertis- ing patronage begun to grow rapidly, dnd in o fow rorkhs the income in- creased fastor “SIL the expenses, That was a period of extraordinary energy and the employment of all sorts of ex- pedients in obtaining nows, for there were no such facilities s are now at the command of the-press, and the Tribune kept pace with the older papers, and sometimos led tHom, Before the end of the first year the paper was on a safe usis, but it was not allowed to pursuo its way without efforts on the part of competitors to harrass its progress and an aggressive warfare from those polit cally opposed to it, or whose malefac- tions wero shown to the world by the vigorous and unsparing pen of Mr. Gree- ley. 1tis not practicable in an article of this kind to make even the briefost referonce to the many conflicts i which the Tribune was engaged while Mr. Greeley was in control of it, but it very generally came out of them victorious, with ad- vantage to its popularity and to the fame of its great editor me of the most distinguished jour- nulists this country has produced assistod Mr. Greeley in building up the 7Tvibune —Henry J.

After the campaign in which M loy was a candidate for president, 1872, he v from active connection with the 7 and the control of the paper passed into the hands of Mr. Whitelaw Ried, now minister to France, Under his manage- ment the high character of the paper has been maintained, and it has been made a more valuable property, if not a greater power than before. less hune THE EXPOSITION POE Lord Alfted Tennyson, poet laureate of England, 82 years old, has been in- vited to write the opening song for the Columbian exposition. He does not promise to accopt the invitation, but the distinction of extending it has been ac- corded him. Were Tennyson American or even republican in his ideas he could be forgiven for being a Britor. But he is neither. All his long life has been spent under the patronage of royalty. A peerage was created for bimin his old age in order that he might stand upon the same socinl plane as those with princely blood in their veins, Ho has never been the poot of the people or democratic in his tastes. No distinguished benevolence or philan- throphy has ever marked his character. He has been content to live a life of case, in enervating luxury, and has scarcely been roused to greatness sinco 1850, when he published the sweet, sad gems of *“In Memoriam.” At 40 he was greatest. He hae never since risen to the sublimity of “Morte d’ Arthur” and “Locksley Hall.” Much of hissubse- quent effort has been mediocre, und his Tatest ver would not " live a week {f written over any other name than Ten- nyson, There is something incongruous about inviting a peer of the realm of Queen Victoria to write a song for a Columbian exposition. The name Columbian is a protest of itself. Americans overy where regrot that the distinction was offered to a for- eigner 50 ignorant of the new world, and 50 out of sympathy with its achieve- ments. The probabilities of life if noth- ing else should have deterred the com- missioners from considering him as likely to bo able to accept. This expo- sition is a world’s fair it is true, and all nations will be represented, but this is no excuse for singling out a eitizen of Great Britain for this honor. Other nations have po€ts many of whom can set their songs to Saxon metre, The poet of the Columbian exposition should have been an American. If the tender passages of a ripe old age were needed properly to voico the growth of | a century of activity, John Greenleaf Whittier, our .own quaint old Quaker poet, should have been requested to write the song. Who could better look back over the last hall century of American progress than this delight- ful representative of the American school of poots. Then there is James Russoll Lowell, whose verse is heroic, patriotic, powerful. He isan American. Oliver Wendoli Holmes is also a repre- sentative American poet. Walt Whit- man, Jouquin Miller and Bret Harte pos- sess characteristics more worthy of this distinguished honor than Tennyson, for they are thoroughly and originally our own. Kdmund Clarenco Stedman has written poems of rare ox- cellence. Eugene Fivld of Chicago, not entirely unknown to fame as a poet, the author of some most delightful bal- lads, would rise more nearly to the occa- sion than this frail old Englishman, We may be excusable for sending to England for our paitern dudes, because they are indigenous to that clime, but no one thinks of exhibiting one of these as an. American product. America’s world’s - fair should be distinctly . 'Amorican so far as the United States is concerned. We invite other natitns to show us what they have invented, perfected and have for sale, in comuterce, scieace and art, but we invite thehralso to see what we have accomplished and we might, with as good reason, ;propose that all pre- miums and publiggtions shall be German; all addresses French; all music Italian, and all theatricals#panish, as that Eng- land shall write thé hymn which Ameri- cans will sing when the exposition be- gins. The selection of Tennyson as the poot of the occasion might bave been ex- pectod if New York were tho seat of the fair, and Ward McAllister were master of ceremonies, but we had no reason to expect Chicago to toady to Great Britain, E—— ALL improvements in the city should be made from the center toward the cir- cumference. To leave great banks of earth in the neart of the business por- tion of the eity is not only unsightly but very bad economy, The loose earth washes from the banks and unpaved streets down upon the asphalt and stone pavement on our prineipal thorough- fares. Solong as this slovenly mothod continues it will bo utterly impossible to keen Farnam, Douglas, Harney ana the cross streots between Fifteenth and Eighteenth streets clean. Cut down the hog-back on Douglas, grade and pave the Cross streets of Sixteenth, and Omaha will be the cleanest and most at- tractive city west of the lakes. The success which has attended the annual meetings of both to and N tional Teachers' associations has led to the proposition of organizing educas tional people of the northwestern states into an association. In further he iden n meeting is called at Luke Geneva, Wis,, for July 1, 2, 8 and 4. The new organization is suggested by the teachers of southeastern Wisconsin who will prepare the programme of oxe and arrango the preliminaries, issuing bulletins from time to time as progress is made. The national association has grown into a somewhat unwicldy body in which the average toachors are par- ticipants only to the extent of compos- ing an audience. The ‘‘rank and file” are therefore looking to orgamzations opresenting loss extensive aroas of ter- ritory with the idea that ultimately the national association shall be a delegate body to which the smaller organizations shall elect ropresentatives. Lake Gen- eva, being a popular summer resort, where expenses are comparatively light, has been hit upon as a good point for the flrst meeting. west g isos THE vacancy that has existed in tho bishopric of the Catholic diocese of Omaha since the death of Bishop O'Con- nor in June of last year, will be filled today by the installation of Bishop S nell. The new incambent of this im- portant esclesiastical oftice comas to the larger field of labor and responsibility fully equipped by scholarship and ex- perience in agairs to take up and prose- cute the duties which were laid down by his lamented predoce and to forward the interests and welfare of his church within the boundaries of his jurisdiction, The installation of Bishop Scannell is an event in which all our interest, and upon an- sor citizens which not Catholics only but the entire community ave to be congratulated, It gives promise of en- larged activity in the affairs of a donom- ination which exerts ided in- fluence upon the peial life of the people. an moral and icinity of the high school pays more for its school facilities than any other section of Omaha. This has been the naked truth for 10 8, School accommodations have been pro- vided for every other scetion of the city. Only in this central locality has ther been neglect. The worst of it is that so far the present board of education has done nothing looking toward any early relief. People on Capitol hill ought not to be forced to send their children to Cass streot school or any other down town building. Very Kind of Them.

Its demise is thankfully welcomed. Soward Reporter: Governor B oyd, in re- fusing to sign the bill, showed that” he has plenty of nerve, at least. He had been peti tioned by*thousunds of people, and the lead- ing newspapers of his parly had very strongly urged him to sign the measure. In spite of the tromendous pressure brought to bear on him, he did what he thought was best; and his courage is to be commended. The Reporter does not feel like condemniog him as many have done. We believe that the bill was not a good thing, and that its ef- fect upon tho business of the state would not, have been such as its framers intended; con- oquently the stateis be tter off without it. But we think it might have been better had the governor signed the bill, to sutisfy the popu- lar clamor. We are confident thai the opera- tions of the law would very soon have con- vinced the weople of its defects, and thex would have been as anxious for its repeal as they had been for 1ts ennctment, There are wany now who will never bo satisfled, and tho only wa convinee them would have been by a practical trial of the law. How over that may be, the deed is done, and the results are yot to bo seen. Possibly a special session, and the passage of a rate bill affoct- conl, lumber, etc., will be satisfac- a move vill not’ reinstate Boyd o £00d graces of his party, nor raise up the party from the low estate to which it has fallen, but it may benefit the business inter- ests of the stato, which is more important.
