RURAL AND URBAN GROWTH The Modarn Municipality of Gomparatively Recent Origin, BY NO MEANS A LOCAL DEVELOPMENT. Altered Conditions of City Life Give an Increascd Tmportance to the Perplexing Problem of M- nicipal Government. The history of this century has to record % many vital changes in the coudition of civil- ) fzed n In afmost ory department of human activity transformations are seen shich in reality amount to revolutions, The i entire economic aspect of the civilized world i has becn alterod almost bevond recognition, and this alteration has been accompanied by many interesting economic phenomena. Of theso none has been more far-reaching in Its influence than the massing of vast num bers of individuals into limited space of terri- tory, where they have united to form &n organization known as a musicipality In the modern city is assembled an aggre- gation of people differing from one another In origin, 0 and habits, but forming, for the purpose of governmental administration, & collective unit, The modern municipality, while tracing its fundemental basis back at least to the times of the Roman republie, i3, 28 it now exists, of comparatively recent origin. Tho conditions of life as found in the city of today differ radically from thoso of a century ago. Urban society 1s a species Bistinet from rural society and demands its swn peculiar forms of social regulation and political admimstration. Rapid urban de- velopment is by no means local in_character It stamps the growth of the whole civilized world as the most distinguishing feature of the present century. This marvelous change is amply substan- tiated by statistics &nd is shown in the most marked degree by the recent census of the United States. Although the population required to characterize a settlement as urban in contrast to rural is mercly an arbitrary distinction, yet the facts are estab lished even if the figures tend to con- fuse statistical comparison, In 1790, imme diately aftor the organization of the federal unfon” under the present constitution, but B.35 per cent of the total population lived in citios having 8,000 or moro inhabitants, Only one city, Philadelphia, had over 40,000 residents while the entire urban_populution of the country amounted to 131,472 souls. In 1800 this number had risen to H9.12 per cent of the ontiro envmerated population. In 1700 six cities only were assigned sufficient population to entitle them to the appellation ‘urban” while according to the recent cen- sus, there aro now 443 placed in that classifi- cation, Thus the proportion of city residents bas increased gradually du the past cen. tury from one-thirtieth to nearly one-third of the totsl population. Up to 1550, the increase was quite regular but ‘in the last decade, it mado a leap from 2257 to 20,12 per cent show. Ing an accelerated tendency of our people towurd urban life. The increase in the num ber of cities hay never been greater in an; rensus period than during the last ten years. Of the 236 cities enumerated in 1830 only nine nave since decreased in size, while a few urban centers, especially in the west and uth, have had an aimost incrediblo growth. n Tacoma and Spokane Falls, Wash., for example, tho proportion of increase for that time has been 3,169 ana 5502 per cent re- spectively. In 1850 New York alone hud over a million inhabitants; now three cities £an point to & similar record. Since the pre- vious census eight more cities have crossed the 100,000 mark, making a total of twenty- eight having more than that number of in- habitants. This urban population is very unequally distributed over the country. In tho north-Atlantic division over half the cople live in_places numbering over elght housand residents or In the porth- central division the ratio is a littlo over one fourth. It 1s comparatively small in tn southern states, being a trifle over 13 per cent, while in several commonwealths it is less than 5 per cent, ‘The urban population of the west is more important, figuring nearly 30 per cent of the total and having in- creased during the last decade considerably faster than the whole population. D11 we look to Europethe eye meets the same phenomena. Iu England and Wales 66.6 per cent of the population were living in places fover three thousand inhabitants in 1851 'ho increase of urban population fduring past century is shown by the fact that Lon- don in 1801 comprised 10.78 per cent of the . lotal number of inhabitants of England and *\_Wales, while in 1581 this percentage haa in- “woeased to 14.60 per cent. Germany in 1850 h&d 41.4 inhabitants out of every 100 residing tn feentors with over two thousand resi- dents. One hundred and sixteen towns of £9,000 inhabitants and over, had 7,300,220 peo- Ilun, or 16 per cent fof the total population. 'he cities, whilo not very large, are exceed- ngly numerous. In the same year, 1580, orty-four people out of every 100 in Switzer- 1and were classed as urban, and winong other nations of western Europe ' the average city population is much hicher. The movement for participation in city hife is almost world- ‘ wide in extent. ‘The historical growth of tho urban centers of the two principal continents, exhibits the ndition of the population within the People of the present time can realize ' with diffculty the lack of conveniences in the cities of antiquity. It is true that Rome {1 the tide of her glory built magnificent aqueducts and public baths in which an abundance of water was supplied; but these streams, conducted through masonry leaving them open to the air were liable to ‘frequent {nterruption. To their exposure was due to some extent, the control over the inhabitan exerted in later times by the besciging bar- barians who could eut off or contaminate the main water supply at will. ‘Thestreets were for the most part unlighted while poli powers were scarcely ever effectively ex- erted. IRome was but one city in the empire, yotitwas the model for the others, The citios of the middle ages, were for the most part, dens of darkness ana disease. The plague, once started, was left to wear itself out, while the convenienecs of city life wero unknown. A large part of the inhabitints worked daily in tho fields and consequently were essentially rural in character. ‘The growth of London has thus been de- scribed by Dr. Albert Shaw in a recent num- ber of the Century: “London toaay s five times as large as it was at the opening of the presont contury. From 900,000 8t that time- the population grow to 1,500,000 in 1530: and by 155 it bad increased to 2,500,000, Sin 855, 10 has more than doubled, The present sovereign has witnessed a gain of per F cent or more since sho begaa to reign, There are three or four dwelling houses now for every ono that was visible at the date of her coronation, 1In the past forty years from two thousand to twenty-five hundrea miles of now streets have been formed iu London. Lond Is not an exception. All tho other gre towns of England have grown up as magic within_ this contury. And the same staterent apolies to those of the continent Paris is five times as large as it was in 1500, Berlin has grown much more rapidly than Paris; Vienna has expanded marvelously since 1840, ' Underground s were entirely unknown in London until 1531 and they we Dot numerous or extensive in 1835, Not o single large underground main had been con- structed.

In 1790 it ranked second in the list of American citios with a populution of 83,131, But it soon forged ahead and coutinues to retain first place by pointing to over a million and a half inhabi- tants. Yet its corporate limits are artificial; taken us a geographic and economic unit it 4 0 | THE Amcrican oitios have had a similar progress, in some instances more rapid although upon u smallor scale. ‘fo attempt to analyse the causes of this wonderful devolopment is almost & hopeless task; the factors are oo many and too inter- woven with the whole progress of our indus- trial system. A few of the more important results aro more potent and moro easily re- cognizable.

Still it was not until 1842, when 800,000 people had congregated in the city, thut the Croton aqueduct was completed. Previous to that time water had been supplied from wells and distributed through bored logs only suppianted by cast fron pipes in 1882, The first attempt to light Mhe strects with gas occurred in 1523 ; electrio Bght was not introduced until 1831 Other . | death exist without applying labor directly to land and to enjoy the benefits of city life. In the United States this provortion is cousiderabie over one-third, while the city life, although accompanied by attendant evils, is becoming more and more attractive., This increasing proportion does not signify that the rural classes are dying out. They are growing ab solutely if not relatively and it is scarcely probable that the world can ever contain a smaller number of agriculturalists than now. The ratios of urban and rural to the total population do not vary inversely, but are rather two variables approaching the same limits at different rates of speed. Both aro progressing while one gains upon the other. ccondly, every increase in urban popula tion makes certain undesizablo features stand out more sharply. Few are able to change their position 10 life, The existence of those who dwell in cities must be made more satisfactory sinee it is only in urban centers that vice and poverty obtafn extreme But moral as well as social reforma- tion can no longer seek individual converts; it mustact upon masses in_order to accom plish appreciable results. Relief can be given tothe lower classes as a whole in the in- creased activity of the municipal govern- ment. The movement in this direction as now begun, aims at supplying public pleasure grounds, public baths, public libraries, pub- lic museums, common’ schools atd technical education, The streets arc kept bet water is furnished cheaply by the munic pality which at_the same time is tonding to absorb other necessary industries of service that depend almost entirely upon the use of the public highways. In the third place, a wider administrative feld reflects upon municipal expenditures. “The initial provision of these various insti- tutions and their further muintenance has made tho tax rate jump with marvellous rapidity. American cities spreading over unbroken soil have had to invest heavily in what may bo termed its industrial plant. The rise of enormous municipal debts repre- sents the drafts which have been made upon the future in order to assist in the undortak- ing. Municipal taxation is gaining upon state and federal taxation at a rate not far below that of the increase in_population. Tho real and personal property within the munici- pality may rise in value at a greater or less ratio: yet uevertheless under the present system of unequal assessment it is municipal taxation which is bearing most severely and itis municipal taxation that most demaads roform. Finally the financial administration of a city is_not alone under stress of increasing popi- lation. The larger the urban center the more complex becomes thoe entire system of popular government. ‘The cities aro the stamping rounds of our immense foreign populatioi ud it is safely asserted that much moro than one-hulf of our naturalized citizeus dwell in the numerous municipalities, Where oue resident scarcely kuows his neighbor by sight it is excecdingly aiflicult to keep a check upon the suffrage. Klectoral roform is callea for particularly in the large citics and the adoption of the Australian ballot system isthe first step the movement. Cit ROV~ ernment affects each citizen much nearer home than state or federal governments. This is the point where the pressure of our political system is centering and municipal government promises to afford the test which will decide the supremacy of popular demo- cratic institutions.

OMAHA DAILY BEE UNDAY, AMAY 3, 1801-TWENTY SOCIALISM'S DISINTEGRATION, Ohicago No More the Hot Bed of Rampant Anarchy. FRED NYE BECOMES A STUDENT. The Society of Consociative Equitable Commerce and What it Pur- Doing for Downe Trodden Humanity, poses Cricaco, April 30.—(Spocial Correspond- ence of Titk Brk.|—There are some persons who, remembering the Haymarket riots and the execution of the anarchists, beliove that socialism is rampant in Chicago. This is an error. Whatever socialism here may be, and no doubt as great a variety of things is sheltered under that name as under any other, it is not rampaut. It is quostionablo whether it is even respectably couchant. As the socialists aro enlisted to broak things, they hold thelr meetings at 2 o'clock on the first day of the week and break the Sabbath. A generous providence would, however, forgive them for last Sunday's meeting, for I have seen Sunday schools far woro riotous and sacreligious than that was The placo of meeting is Wavorly hall, and the only thing rowantic about it is the name. The hall is on the third floor, and as one toils up the narrow flights of steep stairs he passes a cheap coffee house, from whose open the odors of counterfeit coffce and of vorita- ble onions emerge in clouds. The reputation of this cafe and of the lodg- ing house beside it is as unsavory as tho fumes of the edibles—or is thero such a word as inedibles?—which are offeved on the counters at socialistic prices. It was just 2 o'clock when I entered Wa- verly hall last Sunday and saw two men standing near tho frout of a long, narrosw room the floor of which was strewn with chairs and tho wails of which were blocked off with steel engravings, possessing neither merit nor pertinency. At the head of the hall was adais, and on the dais & high backed orna- mented chair resembling an effort of an amateur stage carpenter to prepare a throne door rude for the king in an amateur theatrical, As I approached the two men one of them criod out: “Is there goi’ to be a mectinge here today " That was the question on my lips and I told nim so. This socialist had one and advocate of the Koreshan system. Koresh, as neurly as I could ascortain, was i shopherd of fsrael. Whut he may have said or done in the former life does not appear,but Mrs. Emmertz says that ho has at leugth ' ar- rived on earth again, and that ho will *loose the bonds of wickedness,undo the heavy bur- dens and let the oppressed go free. The Koreshans are, as a sect, ten years old. Thoy have & building on the south side, in & wealthy neighborhood, which they call the Collega of Life. A paper is published there in tHeir interest, with the startling title, The Fiaming Sword. Its ed- itor is Cyrus—just Cyrus. The Koreshan systeny ¢s divided into three departments—the chugal triumphant, the so- cilety arch triumphant and the college of life. Religiously the sect appears to be | Swadenborgian, as that dreaming genius is frequently exalted both by the Ilaming Sword and the worthy Mrs. Bmmertz he Society of Consociative Iquitable Commerce, which has recently abolished poverty, is a branch of the Koreshan system, Its scheme is simply the abolitionof all middlemen. “There should about fine be 1o middlemen,” said Mrs. Emmertz. *“They are the people who sap the industrial life. The Consociative Equitable Commerce has done away with them. Producer sud consumer may now deal directly with cach other, The Consociative Equitable Commerce issues tickets worth $0 each, which are used as a medium of exchange between the producer and the consumer, thus wiping out all transactions in money, which is the curse of society."” “But what are you goiug todo with the middleman, who will be left without employ- PAGES —=CHILDREN'S WERK: BROWNING, KING &GOS 200 Knee Pant Suity §2, Natty little suits that fit well, wear well and are sure to bring people back to trade again: 200 Knee Pant Suts $2.20.

But I got twenty-six votes and might have got a hundred more if I hadn't told the boys I didn't want ‘em to ote for me unless they voted for the whole ticket. My name is Kobert Schultz and I'm from the Hloudy First. How long yoa been a member?’ 1 explained that T was not a_socialist—yet; that I had come with the intention of inves: tigating and learning, if possiblo: that I was prepared to join tho minute I had been con- verted. 0, said Mr, Schultz, “‘yowll have to read along time an’ hear speeches an’ specches before you know anything.” ‘Doubtless. How long have you been init “Six years." “Do you like it?" My God ! cried the man, picking up bis cruteh and shaking it at me. “I should think I did! Tt's beautiful!” Then tho tor- rent broke loose. Everything was to be done away with—wealth, poverty, labor and idle- ness, crime, law, slavery, lib Life wi to be one grand and glorious vacuum, Espe ially, said Mr. Schultz, were the big build- ings to be torn down. ' He was death on the fourteen story buildings—two stories, he said, were enough for anybody; more stories more people, proud, haughty, rapacious, and he didn’t believe in'the alectric lignt which, he said, got into his head and nade him dizz; It was an invontion of capital and took tho money out of the pockets of laboring men. Finally he rambled off into & mass of unmeaning plirases composed vartially of *‘fraternity’ and “illogal accumulation” and “gen- eral distribution” and ‘“the crime of wealth and poverty.” All this time tho other socialist stood with his mouth open. It was so large and so open and so altogother intorested that it scomed as though he heard with it. Ho had little gold vings in his ears and there was something the matter with his eyes, one of them appearing to look at ono cornor of the ceiling and other atthe other, But ho didn't say anything. At tho risk of breaking up the meeting, 1 chod from the current of the oratorical socialist's eloauenco and floated down stairs In half an hour I returned Four or five persous were standing varfous attitudes on the stais, uncertain whethér to go up or come down. ' Among them was & fat woman with a red face who urged mo to come up, and said that if we would all come up we could have a meeting by ourselves, whether anyboay else came or not. So we all went up. Next'to the fat woman, the most euergetic person in tho congregation of cight was a smooth-faced man with light blue oyes, a long uose that had a voint like a triangle, and a gencraily philo- sophical cast of countenance. ~ As 5000 as wo reached the hall he and the fat woman fell to arguing vehemently as to whether a meet- ing suouid be held. She desived to make a speech and dido’t seo how it could be done without a meeting. He didn’t object so much to listening to her, but contended that if they held a mecting they would have to pay fov tho hall, whereas if they simply sat around and talked thoy wouldn't. There was something humiliating about the way in which law, with a capital “L," in the shapo of a possibility of hal rent, crep 1nto the meeting of tho socialists and’ para- Iyzed their wildest dreams, The large old woman sat on an auditor's seat and fauned herself, and the philosophi- cal man produced his hobby at once and rodo it as though it were & broncho. He was ho suid, @ prohibitionist--a_Ger- mau probibitionist. The bost way to begin todo away with all law was to prevent liquor selling. Outin Indian territory the government Liad placarded the trees, notify- ing the whites that any of them who sold liquor to the [ndians would be subjected o big flues and imorisonment. Wasn't it a satire on our institutions that the government should take such rigorous measures to keop the savage's sober, while it liceased the salo of rum to its own citizens. A bushy whiskered socialist sitting in the window thought that socialism didn’t consist of passing sumptuary laws, but of wiping outalllaw. He was in favor of making whisky free. 'I'nen those who couldn’t con- trol their appetites would drink themselves to death and leave tho fleld to stronger and becter men The prohibitionist retorted that social- ism meant anything which might bo couceived for the benefit of huwmanity, and that there W no use talk- ing about the millennium so long as drunk- ards filled the strets, jails, homes, hovels and pala; A fierco young socialist who was lounging lawl on the amateur throne interrupted the debate to remark that his notion of social- ism was that it constituted the best way w0 got the loaves and fishes. He was out for the loaves aud fishes and if the socialists couldn’t direct him on the road he thought it lml:cr goover to capital at ouce, body and soul. This brought the fat woman to the front. She stepoed on the aais and with a green pamphlet in her band, announced passionately that poverty had boen done away with and that the whole problem of wealth had been solved. The event had taken place in San Francisco last week. The society of Con- sociotive Kquitable Commerce had been established there, $60,000 worth of stock had been sold in one day, and in six months there wouldu't be such 'a thing as a poor man or woman in tho United States. ¢ This seemed 50 pleasant that after she had concluded her oration, which, although delivered in Eng- lish, possessed that profusion of big words and wild ideas which forces u listener to wonder whether the orator or himself is insane, I asked her the particulars of the San Fraucisco revolution, The woman's name is Mrs, F.

As 1 looked back up the stairs I saw Mrs, fmmertz and the prohibitiomist half way down and the_other oppouents of society fol- lowing stragglingly.
