Without the warehouses an exchango is impracticable and without an active cen- ter for trade the warehouses will not mnke a mark We should not lose sight of the othor in our enthusiusm over couraging prospects before Omahn as o great grain and provision mart. - The waurehouse men and the doalers in prod- ucts will naturally enough become the active promoters of the wholo enterprise the en- of creating & market., It is therefore entirely veasonable that they should wish to direct the preliminary steps leading to the desired end. It is not nece to have a new or- anizution for the promotion of the in and provision trade in Omaha, but it is essential to interest in the subject the men who know what they want, how | to get it and when to commence opora- tions. The board of trade is now or- ganized and consists chiefly of a name, about $200,000 worth of property and asecretary. Thero is no life about it it manages to play the agresable by proxy to visitors and to get out annual veports, As a force in the upbuilding of the city’s interests it has leng been of no If it eannot itself from the lothargy with which it has so long been seized, then it is high time to retira from the business absolutely and make way for & vigorous organization The board of t with its chamber of commerce, is the nucleus of an impo tant ivstitution. Around the valuable property and within the ample walls of its building the grain and trade of this country ought to be cen- tered. The best men in Omaha vay their annual dues und, knowledge membership of the hoard. They do very little more, but perhaps a little prodding will awaken them to the fact that unless they arouse themselves and do somothing thoro will bo a new organization created hore which will sweep the old to the wall. T'his would be unfortunate, but it is in- ovitable. This city cannot wait for a consequence, arouse provision ac- d of trade to open its drowsy eyes. in The hoard has proposed to the g and provision men, through its direc tors. to delegate to such of them as are members of the board of trade, author- ity to organiz grain and provision exchange. The proposition consideration. The old organization cunnot afford to let the new one grow into a rival and the proposed new one eannoy well afford to ignore the prestige, facilitic and proporty already secured after yoars of existenco by the old. The proper course is to combino the interests and utilizo all the advantages already avail- able so that the enterprise may start off with every reasonable prospect of sue- coss, Meanwhile do nat forget that we are short of warchouses, and that the crops will be moving inside of three months. What is done must be done quickly. Omaha can afford neither to hesitate nor parley. She must soize her oppor- tunity promptly and firmly or perhaps miss it entirely —_— PROFIT SHARING ABROAD. A report recently made to the British board of trade, and transmitted to the stato department by Hon. John C. New, consul general at London, prasents a complete history of profit sharing in "rance] and England. The principle was brought into operation 1 the former country about 1848 and attained some popularity in England about twenty yoars later. In France the results have been substantial, a considerable number of firms representing a groat variety of commercial entorprises having adopted the policy in one form or another. In many of the establishments where profit sharing has been practiced a considera- ble increase of profit has accompanied the development of the policy and its advocates contend that where it is in operation the money set azide for the benefit of labor is not any transfer of cash from the pockets of employers to those of the employes. It is paid out of a fund which owes its existence to the deserves profit-sharing system. This additional profit is supposed to ariso from fivo sources: Iteduction of wasto material; superior excellence in the work done; diminished expense of superin- tendence; groater stability in the staff and consequential reduction of risk in commereial enterprise; increase of prac: tical information connected with the business, the workers boing stimuiated to aid tho managing staff with sugges- tions as to improvements and informa- tion as to new processos, There are various plans of profit-shar- ing, but the testimony is that they all develop 4 higher order of efficiency in the workman, produce larger profits and better relations among all con- cernea in the business, and the choice of one or another of thom in any par ticular enso seems to depend upon such considerations as the nuture of tha busi- ness and the economic and intellectual condition of the workmen to be ealled nto partnership. 1t they are thrifty, saving men, the oponing to them the chance of seeuring shares in the firm by giving them the right of purchase, the aiding them by a division of prof- its to accumulate the ne 8- sary capital, are nample means for the purposes in view. If, on the other hand, the workers are poor men living from hand to mouth, who have not hitherto saved any money, whose thoughts have never boon directod to suving or to tho occupation of o eapi- talist, the prospect of gradually building up a right to a share is too remote and nebalous to produce the desired effeet of stirving the energios of the workman, whilst the assuranca of an additional sum in hand to meet the exponses of living is something of which the advan- tages 1 be easily understood. The report gives numerous examples of the successful working of profit sharing both in France and England, and the results are shown to be uniformly of a character to commend the system. The testimony of all who have adopted the policy is that of unqualified approval, According to the latest information accassible theve ure 23 profit-sharing es tablishments in the United States, but the number is probably somewhat larger than this, Nearly all of them pay the reluticn of the one to the | { bonus in cash, and so far ns known all of them have found the same benoficial results | from the svstem as are noted abroad. The employes are more industrious and more faithful, there is greater care ox- ercised by them in protecting the prop- nd interests of the employers, and direction there are p advantages from the system which are | found to amply warrant the bonus t labor Although the profit- sharing principle makes slow progress itis gaining ground. The company v cently organized in Pennsylvania to es- tablish an extensive tin plate plant, which is expected to employ several thousand men within the next two or three years proposes to adopt the profit- shaving policy. It has beon demon- strated to be the most efficacious menns for establishing and maintaining friendly relations between employers and em- ployed. receives, EDUCATIONAL ENDOWMENTS. The endowment of educational institu- tions in this country are increasing to magnificent proportions. Last year the two principal universitios, Harvard and Yale, received upwards of $1,000,000 each, and besides tliese generous be quests there were gifts to other educa- tional institutions of less which altogether amounted, i% is estimated, to not less than $10,000,000. Of this munifi- cent sum ygiven in a single year for the promotion of education not than one-half woent permanent fund the income of which is to be forever devoted to the work of higher education, the remainder being expended on improvements and in other ways Never before wero bequests so numerous and generous as now for promoting cul- ture and advancing the standard of edu- cation, and in the United States there is being croated more permanent funds than in any other country for maintain- ing and improving the great seats of learning. In this respeet the present generation is planting deep and strong for the benefit of tho generations to follow. The record is one to be proud of, and yet munificent as the sum was that found its way into the treasuries of the universities and colleges last year itrep- resented but a very small fraction of the actual gain in wealth made by the Amer- fcan people during that time. Ten times the amount might have been given to the cause of higher education without making any strain upon the accumula tions of our people for that single year. Still the figures are gratifying as attest- ing the growing popular interest in the note less cause of education. We have been regarded by the world as a wholly materialistic people, caring for nothing but the almighty dol- lar. The estimate has been altogether unjust, and viewing what has been ac- complished in material development, there is nothing to regrot or be ashamed of. But having got the wealth, we are demonstrating that we know how to use it for advancing, elevating and improv- ine the intellectual, moral and social conditions of the people, and at the rate of progress making in this direction the time is not distant when we will leave the older nations behind in this as wo have already done in material development. The example set by the benelactors of our educational institutions will be emulated by others, and as the endowments grow in volume the universities and colleges of the land will extend their usefulness, as thoy are even now endeavoring to do, until the whole people of all classes are enabled to take advantage of their privileges, Then shull America become the instrue- tor of the nations and the leader of the world’s thought, supreme in intellectual influence and authority, as she is cor- tain to become in commercial power. — THE NATIONS ARE RESPONDING. China is the last country heard from in favorable respouse to the invitation to be represented at the world’s Columbian exposition. Under all the circumstances, it would not have been surprising if the lestial empire had declined to partic pate in the fair, by way of rebuking tho hostile policy of this country, but Chinese statesmen are more tolerant and have broader views of things than they ave generally ecredited with, and it is not altogother im- probable that they may regard this event as an opportunity to show this. At any rate the decision of the Chinese government, toward which the United States has for some years mani- fested anything but a courtcous and friondly feeling, is deserving of appro- ciative commendation, and it is not to be doubted that the exhibition it will make will be one of the most attractive and interesting in the fair. The exam- ple of China will doubtless be promptly followed by Japan That the exposition will be in the most generous sense a world’s faiv can no longer be doubted. Great Britain has a commission, with the prince of Wales at its head, authorized to prepare a grand exhibit. Germany will send overa great display, and France has given assurances that she will do like- wise, The Russian government has set apart a liberal sum, and the mer chants and manufacturers of St. Petersburg and Moscow are pledged for a similar amount, for the purpose of sending hsre the greatost exhibit ever beforo collocted by asingle govirnment. Other European es not yet heard from are almost certain to aceept the 1nvitation to bo represented in the exposition, for they can nardly afford to be absent, Every country on this continent south of the United States, from Mexico to the Avgentine Republic, has been heard from and is making preparations to send a full exhibit of its resourc Mexico has appropriated $1,000,000 for the pur- pose, and will erect her own buildings, as will a number of the other southern countries. All America will be repre- sented at the oxposition as it has never before been represented anywhere, The American people ave war- ranted in anticipating the greatest ex- hibition the world has ever seen, both in vastness of display and the number of count novel attractions. The last Paris ex- position hud but one really notable at- teaction outside of the fair itself—the | Eiffel tower, There will be at Chicago anumber no less wonderful than that triumph of engineering skill, In view of the splendid promise for this great enterprise, it is;te be hoped there will be no more quAt¥els or controversaries to retard tho pfogress of the work to be done amdy impair the inter- ost in the'” fair which for- eign countries jare manifesting. Tt depends upon owwselves whether the Co- lumbian expositign shall be an unprec- edented success, for all the rest ofs the world scoms réady and willing to help us mako it so. —— THE FLAG AND THE PEOPLE. Nothing movg! encournging or more eloquent was said by President Harri- son in any one of his 140 oxcellent speeches than when in Omaha he re- marked: “T have seen enough Amer- fean flags to wrap the world around.” It was an epigrammatic way of saying that nothing had been so impressivo in all the long, interesting, enthusiastic journey as the magnificent spirit of patriotism evineed everywhere, by everybody from Washington to Los Angelo Omaha, In the south among the battle-searred veterans of the confederate army and their children, proud of the wounds their fathers wear, yot loyal to the pres- ent union, the beautiful banner of our country flonted from every housetop. It was waved from the door of the log cabin of the colored man as well s the great windows of the brown stone front of the millionaire. There were no rob- ols, no republicans, no negroes, no dem- ocrats, they wero all Americans and the clicers which greeted the president told in unmistakable tones the delightful truth that Americans of all shades of political opinion, of all races and of all sections are patriots, When the Pacific coast was reached and as the presidential train pursued its way among the flowers and fruits of that and Puget Sound and buck to favored region, on up to the great American mediterrancan s and back across tho great backbone of the conti- nent into and through the fortile plains of Nebraska, and thence to the na- tional capital, at every station, at evory farm house, on the lapels of the coats of men and around the waists and shoulders of the ladies, in the songs of the school children and the music of bands, in the speeches of welcome and the newspaper notes before and after the visit, the same spirit of loyalty to American insti- tutions prevailed. The Yy atmos- phere vibrated with the swelling patriotism of American citizens. No foreign potentate ever reccived such a cordial and sinedra reception, and no man on earth could today, outside the presidential chair, awaken an hundredth part of the enthusiasm that greeted the president of the United States, Flags enough to wrap the earth around—and every man, woman and child proud of the banner and proud still of the nation of which it is the sacred emblem. Theve is nothing pessi- mistic about the American flng. No man ever looks at the stars and stripes to be depressed. It is'only on occasions of the character just passed that we izo the power of that beautiful emblem of our liberty, ourdbope,and our country. It is profitable once in a while to reflect upon the fact that Americans are the most patriotic people on earth. —— THE CHILIAN REVOLU The Chilian revolution presents some peculiar factors for consideration and such as may be of considerable intorest now that the government of the United ates has become involved through a point in international law. The Iltata and Esmeralda are now in the hands of the insurgents, and it is not entively im- possible that the insurgent leaders de- sired to force the hand of the United States into an expression of sympathy toward them, pro or con. By so doing they may have tried this one means of forcing the Balmacedan government in the American court of arbitration accord- ing to the treaty of 1890. In this way the insurgents could present their claims and have them at least looked into as they have asked the Balmacedan gov- ernment to do. The cuuses of the war seem to be the actions of an oligarehy in oppressing the poorer and more ignorant of the population. Like almost all of the South American vepublics, land is owned in Chili in vast estates, and in such a way 1s to exclude the farming classes from acquiring any considerable amount of property. The laws make suffrage con- tingent upon property qualifications, and in this way tho rural population, or about one-half of the entire population, is doubly at the mercy of the land own- ers, At the time when the nitrate fields were given Chili by the treaty at the close of the Peruvian war in 1882 the voi army and navy were in the con- trol” of tho landlords, their favor- ites being placed in command so the lower classes could not rebel, and at that time almost all the learning was in the hands of the governing faction. But about that time public education was brought in play, the lower classes pro- vided with oppbrtinities and the devel- opment of the wines, agricultural ro- sources, and with British capital, the ni- trate fields, wag Bpgun. This gradually drew from the army and navy the oli- garchical support that was rendered the government and téplaced with a class of ofticers and man who were not in favor of the rule of thwaristocracy, and upon the first untowatd;move of the govern- ment the military support was almost entirely withdry#n from it, This state of allaies led to the rebellion which has been eontinually in favor of the 1nsurgents,” hind the results of which may be foretold. The present president reprosents the moneyed in- terost, his term of office expires Sep- tember 18, 1801, so his five years of ser- co is nearly complete, and he desires, since by the constitution he is ineligible to re-lection, to continue his power through another elector, . The people have protested, for it is an ensy matter for him to succeed through his manipulation of the electors, The insurgents offered to submit their aims to arbitration but the govern- ment could not permit such a thing and now as the result of all this the govern- ment will fall, What effect the fall of the govern- ment would have upon the United States cannot at all be defined; but this is cer- tain: the [tata matter will inno way cause complications oven though she wero blown to the bottom of the sea. WITHIN the next two weeks Civil n- gineer Peary of the navy will start on his expedition toward the north pole. He will be accompanied by five men who have had experience in arctic ox- ploration and know the enormous dif- culties that will confront them, while Peary himself has mado one trip to the interior of Greenland. The proposed exploration is to be made by slodge aftor tho party hus been taken as fa north as the whaling floet an go. Tho general improssion is that this method of oxplor- ing the arctic region is ox- tremely porilous, but Mr. Peary says it is far safer than travel in Montana and remote districs of the west, bocause there is nothing rugged about the country. There are no precipices to fall from, and if one stumbles he falls upon the softest kind of a cushion of snow. Poary ex- pects to boat all previous records of search for the north pole, and if he succeeds ho will win some glory, but popular interest, and porhaps scientific interest also, is not stirred now as it once was by expoeditions of this kind. It is pretty lly admitted that the ro- sults can be of very little practical vaiue to the world, —_— MAYOR C'USHING has his good quali- ties and Tue Bee never fails to mend him when he does the right thing at the right time. But why in the name of common senso does he want to perpetuate the offensive methods introduced by Frank Morris- sey as garbagomastor in the faco of the pronounced public sentiment.

Inany event citizons should not again be subjocted to the imposture of the former garbagemaster, A JOURNALIST whom all men honor, and none more than the members of his own profession, is Mr. Georgo W. Childs, proprietor and editor of tho Philadelphia Public Ledger. Last Tues- day was Mr. Childs’ 63d birthday and the typographical union of Philadelphia celebrated it by a banquet. Among the letters read on the oceasion was ono of a highly complimentary character from Secretary Blaine, and during tho day the great philanthropist received cable- grams of congratulation from England, France and Germany and from all parts of the United es. The esteem in which Mr. Childs is held wherever he is known, and especially the warm affection of those who know him best, is the most gratifying compen- sation of a lifetime of effort to make others happy. Theve can be no greater honor than to have a place among the world's greatest philanthropists. T Real Estate Owners’ association is now fairly on its feet. The articles of incorporation are filed and the ofticers are elected. Mr. Goorge . Bemis has been selected as secrotary, which wenns that the executive details will be care- fully managed and the new organization will not be allowed to fall into any drowsiness or lothargy., A bottor selec- tion could hardly have been made. The Real Estate Owners’associationis in able hands from the president to the board of directors. If it fails to be a power for the good of the city we shall be disap- pointed. A Credit to Omaha.
