Patents have been granted to 10,000 women, and while many of the inventions have had refer- ence to the immense range of articles re- quired for woman’s use, some of them have been of much greater usefulness and importance. For example, a New York woman patented a deep sea tele- scope, by which the bottoms of ships can be closely scanned without being litted on dry docks, wrecks examined, and obstruc- tions to navigation found; a Massachu- setts girl planned the complex machine which makes paper bags; a New Jersey girl found o way of turmng out horse- shoes by machinery; a rotary loom, machinery for making barrols, fire escapes, railroad danger signals for street crossings, improvements on sew- ing machines, baby carriages, uro among the things which women have invented, and in accordance with the fitness of things the first ice cream froozer was | ing for it a proper rocomy 4 MATT Omaha is not famous for its but it has o few.

[ distinguishes and on s 0 Whatever ridi oceasioned by its man- ifestations, long as it does not interfore with the rights of his fellow citizens with harder hearts and sense, the man possessing this exquisite sense of right and wrong is personally entitled to respect for living up to his convictions, even at the expense of being crank, and possibly failing to do good to others by reuson of his crankism, T'he case of the super-sensitive young man who thought it necessary to hurl a chair through a famous nting - is familiar, If ho was in his right mind his conscience makes of him a dangerous crank. He forgot, in the enthusiasm of his righteous indig- nation that it is a violution of ono of the commandments to dostroy the property of ancighbor without muk- mse. If War- binton had mevely expressed his horror at the exhibition which shocked himand warned his follows against the demorali- to follow a visit to the art gallery he could have cased his own con- scienco and escaped jail.

Bvor, rospe responsive muy conseience. cule ho more ion sure loss. A revorend gentloman in this city whose piety is beyond question recently beeame convinced that he was commit- ting asin by wearing a gold ring, o rying u gold watch and chain and other costly personal ornaments. He sold them all, and announced his action to his flock, exhorting them to plainer dress and less frivolity. What was dono with tho mon obtained is not known, but it is presumed it went to a good cause, though ly to the feeding of a biooded horse in drivag which the same reverend gentleman takes immense and perfectly excusable comfort and enjoy- ment. Just why it is evil for this min- ister to wear adornments but proper to sell them and let some one else wear them involves a moral technicality t00 intricato for the worldling, Another divine is so constituted that he cannot conscientiously allow his chil- dren to attend the public schools hecause the receipts from liquor licenses pay the sularies of tho teachers. He withdrew his children from the schools, resigned his pastorate, and will leave tho city. He might in exactly what ex- pense is incurred in instructing his little ones and tender the amount to the board and thus relieve his unreasonable con- science. This would be a makeshift, however, for the text books are paid for out of the license fund. The teach- ers in s congregation contrib- ute license money to the support of his church, to the missionary and other benevolent organizations and to the salary fund. The children drop pennies saved into the Sunday school col- lection box because the license fund sup- plies free text books and stationery. The property owner who is temperate escapes direct tax for the support of schools and gives more liberally for all good work. The churches are built partly from tho savings of the teachers and partly from the savings of the character last mentioned. The fact is that the good brother with the tonder conscience is confronted every- where in the city with the horrid night- mare of the liquor license. Suppose he locates wheve the finos and licenses go into the general fund instead of the school fund. The situation be- comes more and more embarrassing, for the police protection from the wicked, the sidowalks and street paving, the grading, sprinkling and swoeping is puid for by ‘*‘this partnership with crime.” The city hall isbuilt from it. The vory lighting of the streets will be dimmed by the specire. His hoalth and that of his neighbors is maintained from it. Even the national government de- pends upon liquor licenses for a large partof its revenue. If he goes to the capital and hears Senator Colquitt, a prohibitionist, speak, he is met with tho embarrassing thought that hiseloquence is paid for out of the internal rev cnue receipts by the whisky and beor tax. The fact is the good man is logically obliged to deprive himself of ever thing that contributes to modern comfort and convenience, to the benefits of a free government anc to ox- istence itself. There is no escape from it except in the grave and in heaven. Possibly the enjoyments of paradiso will be interfered with, too, for he must leave behind him friends and relatives whose existence is made miserable by the same tenderness of conscience, The man who strives to make the world better must not hold himself responsible for the evil he has not caused and can- not prevent. He will be the better and the world less wicked ifhe takes it as ho finds it and malkes the best of hig environ- ment, poss| those — ARBOR DA Hon. J. Sterling Morton of Nebraska is the recognized originator of Arbor day. Hon. R. W. Furnas was governor of the state when the suggestion was made, and he, too, was then, as now, an enthusiast upon the subject of forestry. The legislature, following the gostion of the governor and state bourd of agriculture, declared the second Wednesday in April a holiday and dedi- cated it to the work of planting tre Nebraska's umple has been followed by Alabama, California, Colorado, Con- necticut, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Illi- nois, Indiana, lowa, Kansus, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Mich- igan, Minnesota, Montana, Missouri, Novada, New Hampshire, New Jorsoy, ow Mexico, New York, North Dakota, Ohio, Oregon, Penn- | sylvania, Rhode Island, South Da- kota, Tennessee, Texas, Vormont, [ West Virginia, Wisconsin and Wy~ oming. Thirty-seven of the 47 | states and territories of the union have established an Arbor day, The 17 years whi | since Nebraska took the initiative | in the matter have been remarku- ble not alone for the rapid development sug- b have passed Eteuwd by a woman, - and inceeaso of population within hor | boon enthusiastic over the subj borders but for the large Increase of groves.Stimulated by the popular intovest created in the subject by Arbor d ownerof alotin a villag farm in the country has planted troes on its annivers The school ch all over the state have , until child in more ov or city or a dren about every man, woman braska can point or growing trees planted by his hand, now estunatod that 400,000,000 trees plantod by hand are growing in Ne- bras any o farmer cuts all his fuel and fencing trom a grove which he has seen grow from to saw logs. and to ono silps or seeds Nobraska should never cease to honor this holiday. 1t is confossedly and peeuliarly a Nebraska institution.

It not only awakens an_ inter- est in the subject among the children but 1t is a lasting benefit to the com- munity, AFTER THIRTY YEARS, Thirty years ago today the first blood was shed in the rebellion. April 15, 1861, President Lincoln called for volunteers, and the first regiment that responded was the Sixth Massachusetts, commanded by Colonel Edward I, Jone: now lieutenant governor of New York. On April 19 this regiment arrived in Baltimore, and while marching through that city was attacked by a mob and lost four of its men killed and many wounded. That event had a tremendous fect in arvousing the north. Five days before it Fort Sumter had surren- dered, but the fecling was very general that the outbreak would be localized and would not last long. Mr. Lincoln himself believed that the troops called for would be an ample force to suppress it. The occurrenco in Baltimore, almost at tho very doors of the national eapi- tal, showed how bitter the southern people folt, and the thoughtful people of the north begun to see that a great task was bofore them. When such ma- lignant enemios wero found at the threshold the seat of government, ready to strike down the men who had hastened from their homes and families to the reliof of the national capital, it was not to be expected that those further away would be found less bitter and relentless. The blood of the brave sons of Massachusetts shed in the streets of Baltimore made an appeul to the north more potent than anything that had proceded 1t, and in a bricfer time than ever an army was raised before the soldiers called for by the pres- ident were provided. Today the Sixth Massachusetts regi- ment—the same organization, but hav- ing init fow of tho men of thirty yoars ago—will again visit Baltimore, this time to be welcomed and royally ente tained by the people of that city. A later generation, sincerely loyal to the government, and as ready to defond it us their predecessors of thirty years ngo were to attack it, will with open-handed hospitality show the soidier sons of Mas- sachusetts of today that in the Baltimore of 1891 there is no such sentiment to be found as dominated that city in 1861. The memorable event of the past will be re- called, but only by way of emphasizing the contrast of the event of toduy. The memory will cause no feeling of unl.ind- ness and elicit no word of recrimina- tion. The blood shed 30 years ago was long since atoned for, and today the sons of Massachusetts and the sons of Maryland will strike hands in fraternal fellowship, each vying with the other in patriotic devotion to the union. There have indeod been great changes ected in thirty years, and Baltimore's recoption of the Sixth Massachusetts regiment will serve to remind the coun- try that the greatest of these is the elim- ination of all disloyal sentiment and the cagerness of the southern people to demonstrate that they arc as sincere as the people of any other section 1in their love of the old flag. —_— THE BRITISH LABOR COMM ISSIO. The condition of labor in England must be serious indeed when the gov- ernment felt called upon to appoint a royal commission of 28 members to in- vestigate the situation and report what can be done to imy it. Only an ex- traordinary state of affairs could have induced this action, becauso it is in of- feet an udmission that the economic pol- icy of Kngland, however beneficial it may have been in the past, is so no longer so far as the labor of the country is concorned. The labor market is deprossed, and the toiling masses of the nation, vast as its wealth is, are steadily finding it harder to earn a sub- sistence and are becoming poorer and more wretched. They have long and carnestly protested against this unfor- tunate condition, have organized to give more impressiveness and force to thei appeal for measures of relief, and at last the government has so far given heed to them as 1o appoint n commission to seok out the trouble and propose a plan for its removal This concession is made none too soon, for the laboring masses of England were becoming very restive, This action of the government was not altogether a conces: to the de- mands of labor; it was taken quite as much for political effect. But in order to give it any value in that respect the commission must accomplish something, and from the character of its member- ship it is doubtful whether it will have any practical result. Nearly all of its members are of the capitalist class, and most of them are con- servatives who are not known to have any sympathy with labor, Men like the Marquis of Hartington and Sir Michuel Hicks-Beech, for example, do not inspire confidence that the intorests of the laborers will receive very gener- ous consideration, and certainly tk will get no concessions from such men that the privileged class are not willing to allow. Still there are some men on the commission from whom valuable ser- vico in behalf of the laborers may be ex- pected. Of such are Mr. Mundella, the great employer of labor who distin- guished nimself by his successful advo- cacy of arbitration; Mr. Mawdsley, who is secretary of the amalgamated cotton workers; Mr, Thomas Mann, the presi- of on | dent of the dockers' uaion, and Mr. Itis | | Thomas Burt u? 4 represented Knglish laborers at the Ber- lin edly proceed with the task in hand with an honest pirp#se to attain some good results, but thédy are in the minority and cannot xt. any proposition that may scem OaWgorous to tho privi- loged classos, howoever ossential to the improvement of the condition of labor. Novorthelegsd fhe inquiry the commis- sion will makh, ithether it leads to any practical res§l§ for not, cannot fail to have an intérd® that will not bo con- fined to the laborers in whose behalf it will be prosecuted. That such an in- quiry should be deemod necessary war- rants the conclusion that the condition of labor in England is exceptionally bad. PRATED TASTE. The erowd which gathered at Broken Bow to witness the execution of Hauen- stine are reported to have manifested intense resentment at Governor Boyd for reprieving the murderer. They had come to attend a hanging boo. It de- prived them of the exhibition to which they had been looking forward for days and weeks, Rather than return to their farms and houses without witnessing an execution on the seaffold thoy threatened totake the law into their own 1ds, It is related that but for the earnest P veals of Judge Hamer the assembled multitude would have broken down thoe prison doors and taken the condemned man to the scaffold, The crime of this murderer was do- liberato and atrocious. There was no manner of excuse for it, save the plea which his attorneys made of insanity. He has been proved to be sane, and the law will take its course. Unless providence shall interforo he will expiate his crime on the gallows within a month. Why then were these people so impatient? Why should they be disappointed? Human beings have amorbid curiosity to sco horribio things. Men, women and children look upon the sickening sight of an execution with both awe and interest. They gather in crowds at tho morgue to gaze into the distorted faces of the dead. They look with something doeper than mere curiosity upon a hola- caust of charred humanity after a fatal fire. They delight in repeating descrip- tions of horrors which fill the souls of hearers with frightful shapes of the nightmare. Why this is true is a ques- tion. Ethical knowledge and research cannot answer. Porhaps it is a manifestation of the savage from which ages of evolution have converted the man brute into a -civilized being. The instincts of the savage have not been on- tirely obliterated; The description of ferocious gladiator- ial combats are read with horror but keen interest. | We fancy wo could not tolerate the evueities which delighted the ancients. Weo despise the Spaniard who patronizes the bull fight; tho sport who incites dogs and cocks to mutilate each other and the pugilists who brut- ally beat each other into insensibility, Our laws are framed to prevent such in- human exhibitions of depravity. Are we in earnest or do we merely enact into laws the sentiment which our con- sciences dictate expecting at the fivst opportunity to lay aside such scruples and return to our ancestral ferocity. In spite of our boasted civilization and humane teachings we still have a great deal of the wild beast in our innor na- It makesits latent power felt when a human baing is doomed to death at the hands of the executioner, It as serts itself when ‘impassioned multi- tudes insist upon seeing a defensolos but guilty criminal lynched. And thi depraved appetite and morbid brutality goos far to confirm the orthodox doctrine of man’s total depravit, tures, CHARITIES AND CORRECTION, The eightoenth national conference of charities and correction will be held in Indianapolis from May 13 to 20, This conference has obtained an importance second to none, and is doing a most val- uablo work which intorests everybody who is concerned in social reform. Its object is to collect, compare and diffuse information respecting every deseription of charitable, penal and reformatory on- terprise, both public and private, and to discuss and recommond methods for im proving these entorprises. Compos: of practical and philanthropic men and women, earnost and zealous in the cause of social reform, this conferencs annually contributes most useful knowledge and suggestion for the instruction and guid- ance of those engaged in charltable work and in the administration of penal and reformatory institutions. It is un- quostionable that the influenco of this conforence has been very great in the field of reform to which it ad- dresses itself, causing the removal of many abuses and the inauguration of systems in connection with charity and correction which have been of the great- est practical usefulness. In order to ap- preciate the value of this conference and the n sity that exists for it, it is only necessary to reflect upon the uni- versality of the enterprises to which it attention, and the con- stant demand | there is for in- telligent study of their administration and methods, Even with the careful ob- servation of the workings of cha rity and correction on the part of the members of the conference, abuses exist, sometimos becoming so grave and serious that they nnot b salod, and this bying the case notwithstanding the vigilance of the earnest and zealous men and women who muke up’this conference, what would probably bé the situation if there was no such watghful interest shown, Ivis reasonable to préstme that there would be a vastly greatdt misapplication and waste of charity than there is now, and that comparatively few of the penal and reformatory institutions of the countr would bo 50 well managed as they arve at present. Those placed in charge of these institutions, knowing that thoeir conduct is boing watched und inquired into, are far more careful than the otherwise would be, The coming session of the conference promises to bo quite as interestic t have been held, the programme including a great varioty of subjocts in which every community in the country is coneerned. gives JUsT before Honry M. leaving for England unley issued sn appeal to onferencs, These men will undoubte | tho United States government to take action for the suppression of the sluve | trade in Africa.

The United States also negotinted o | treaty with the Congo state. But the senate failed to ratify either the uct of the conforence or the treaty. The former must be ratified before July noxt or the Brussels conference will have be- come an utter failure, and Mr, Stanley urges that a special session of the senate be called for this purpose. There can be no doubt that the United States has a duty to perform in this matter, but whatover reasons there were for the failure of the se nat to ratify the action of the Brussels anti- siavery conference, which has received the approval of all the other powers rep- resented in it, would doubtless prevail nst an extra session of the sénate for the object suggested. Mr. Stanley states that the Congo government is ex- pected to at once declare war upon the slave traders and prosecute it until their murderous trade ceases, but he deems it of the highest importance to the success of such an undertaking that the support of the United States shall be assurved. For this the immediate probabilities are not favorable, But any movement for the suppression of the murderous siave trade in Afriea will unquestionably have the hearty and substantial sympathy of the American peoploe.
