OMAUA is in dead earnest in her con- test for the republican national conven- tion. She is not only iu earnest but confident. IT WiLL be not only gracious and proper, but a politic act to create a Twin City committee to work for the na- tional convention composed of repre- sentatives from both Omaha and Coun- cil Bluffs, S0 long ns es us the lion's share of her trade wo shall care vory little whether her custom houses fly the flag of Spain or the banner of this union. Annexation is not a possibility of prac- tical politics. GOVERNOR THAYER is too old a poli- tician to be involved in petty pecula- tions. Unless his enemies can unearth something more than embezzlement of trifiing foes of $1 at a time, they had better go barking vp another tree. RUMOR has it that the Pacific Short Line, Donald McLean’s defunct enter- prise, has been purchased by the Bur- lington. The rumor lacks confirmation, but if it proves true Sioux City and the northern tier of counties will be open to hearty congratulations, —_— THE Tribune says that Minneapolis is the only city making a fight for the republican national convention in earn- est. The Tribune will discover 1ts mis- take when the vote is tallied at the De- cember meeting of the republican national central committee. — HERR CAHENSLY would not have written his memorial to the pope plead- ing for foreign prelates and foreign par- ishes in America if he had himself been American either by birth or adoption. His memorial clearly showe that he has grown up under monarchical and not re- publican influences. AMERICA will probably harvest 525- 000,000 bushels of wheat this season. The old world which is facing a deficit in the crop will noed all our surplus, The price will therefore rule compara- tively high, and the gold which the old world hus been carrying out of Now York by tho ton will start home again. THE fact that Omaha is 500 miles from the minos is no renson why a mining ex- change may not be successfully con- Quoted in this city. The Omaha and Grant smelting and refining company buys immonse quantities of ore and sampling works here would undoubtedly bring to this market numorous ship- monts of ores to be tested. A large numbor of our citizens are practical mining operators and ownors of mining intorosts. In enterprising hands an ex- change ean unquestionably be made an important oloment in the commerce of the city. MAYOR CUSHING can make the board of public works a credit to his adminis- tration by selecting a good republican to fill the placo made vacant by the expira- tion of tho term of office of Major Furay. An honest, capable business man, froo from ques, contractors and corrup- tion, ono who has grown up with the city and has the respect of the com- munity is domanded. Ho ocan readily be found. ‘The mayor should send in his name and give Momber Igbert, a co- Inborer who thinks more of doing his duty than of advaneing private, political or corporate interests. s MPEROR WILLIAM goos to England fn no good humor. His recoption in Great Britain will be ostensibly sincere and effusive, but at heart the visit is ro- garded with gravo approhensions. The English people look with no pleasure upon alliances which shall blow the fires of hatrod in France into flames and make the dog of Russia giowl suspi- olously, Emperor William is not the absolute monarch of his tongue, and the relaxing effects of the coming guild hall banquet, it Is feared, will lead him to utterances which will make both Russia snd France ill-natured. ~ THEIR DUTY IS PLAIN. The state board of transportation must adopt a schedule of maximum freight rates. Authentic advices from the members of the republican state central committee show that body to be strongly in favor of this course. At its meeting next week a resolution request- ing the board to perform its plain duty in this particular will undoubtedly meot with favor. The board has the authority to fix roasonable rates. This question has been ruled upon by the supreme court. The people of the state demand that it exercise this power. The repub- licans are very much in earnest in this request. They wish the republican board to do its duty to the people, and show to the discontented farmers that the republican party is not indifferent to their just demands. The board will not ignoro the request of tho state central mmitteo. The board will obstacles in the ing a schedule of rates satisfactory tothe shippe sand yot not unfair to thy riers. A reasopable reduction is all that'is demanded. No good ecitizen wishes to bankrupt the railways or in- jure them. All that is asked at the hands is faic treatment and an equitable adjustment of difforences. The Iowa system can bo adapted to Nebraska. The conditions are different mainly in degree; otherwise they ave similar. The fixed charges of the railways are practi- cnlly tho same in both states. Given the same volume of traffic the rates should be almost identical for the same service. The Iowa method of classify- ing the rouds hy their mileage earnings is fair and can be applied to lines in this state. The rate per ton can bo fixed upon a not dissimilar basis. The volume of traflic in Towa is greater than in Nebraska. The local rates should therefore generally be by a slight per contago higher in this state than that. A competent rate man or intelligent bookkecper can very readily es- tablish a ratio which shall put rates in this state practically upon the same busis as in Iowa. The people do not demand or expect a horizontal reduction of rates. They only ask that the railways shall meet them half way upon the proposition for a schedule. If tho board will adopt fair rates for the transportation of stock, grain, produce, coal, lumber and othor heavy commoditics, in which there is necessarily alarge interchange of traffic, there will be no further complaint. Stock, grain and produce going east are exchanged for conl and lumber coming west. A reduction of rates upon these commodities will relieve the people very materially. In fact such a reduction would remove reasonable cause of com- plaint. The people will be satisfied, the board will have performed its clear duty and the republican party will de- serve and receive the gratitude of the producers. no serious ostablish- find way of THE REAL ESTATE MEX. Men who have suffered pecuniary om- barrassment because of real estate speculations are prone to speak slight- ingly of real estato ngentsas it these aggressive, forceful and useful members of every enterprising business commu- nity were in some measure responsible for the disappointments of investors. It would be just as reasonable for farmers to hold country merchants at fault be- cause tha price of ezgs and butter in the city markets does not prove satisfactor, or stimulating. The ‘‘conservative” business man is usually loudest in his denunciation of the machinations of the real estate operators, though he may sit in his bank at the same time quietly squeezing the other purchasers and making life a burden to the despised operators. The fact is, the real estate agents and dealers are the life of every prosperous They are the liberal contributors to public enterprises. When solicit- ing committees for any public purpose are to be avpointed the bankers and stendy going jobbers and merchants are passed by and live representatives of the real estate business are chosen to push forward the work of collecting subscriptions, whether the object be charitable, of a semi-business or public character. The real estato agents are not the busy-bodies of the community, but they are the rustlers. Omaha and every other wesiern city owes to these vigorous, energetic gentlemon about everything they possessin which special pride is taken outside of public improve- ments. Manufactories, expositions, fine buildings, large investments by foreign capitalists, street railway extensions, new railroads and other similar elemonts in the prosperity of every promising commercial and population contre in the west can in nine cases out of ten be traced to the genius of the real estate agent. In Omaha where this disposition to blame real estate agents for hard times provails to some extent, it is particularly unjust. Although suffering keenly from the depression in all lines of business and often driven at last to desperation hy the avarice of wealthy creditors, the real estato men have porsistently and successfully breasted the tide of misfor- tune. They have taken the blunt of it while the moneylenders have hourd- ed their millions and squeezed their vietims into or almost into bankruptev. Through evil and through good report the real estate men have gone forward advertising the city inviting and interesting capital, encour aging the disheartened and proving their faith in Omaha by their good works on her behall. No man in Omaha can justly speak aslversely of her real estato mon as a class. They have been the very bone and sinew of her strength through the years of business adversity. They deserve the thanks of the com- munity for their aptimism, their gener- osity, their public spirit and their indi- vidual enterprise. Times Would have been a great deal more distressing if they had abandoned hope and been what interest gatherers call ‘‘conservative,” —_— THE NATIONAL CONVEN Omaha and Council Bluffs are in the center of the union. West and north- west of these cities are the six new states, Colorado, Nevada and Californin, Within twelve hours’ ride are Minneap- olis and St. Paul. But & fow hours more is required for the journey from Chicago. ION. Kansas and Towa are our nearest neigh- ’ bors.

The agricultural which were solid for H on h suddenly veered from their course and nearly ~ every of them hns given out signals of doubtful loy- alty their old comrades. The republican jonal convention must come westward because the hope as well s the danger to republican supre is here. If the agricultural west northwest is not saved the party will face inevitable defeat. Town guve Harrison 81,000 plurality. The Dakotas were not ndmitted in time to vote for him but on their first state tickets they were overwhelmingly re- publican, Kansas went republican by 78,000 plurality, Nebraska was safe by 18,000 votes, and Minnesota rolled up a plurality for Harrison of 24,000, Since that election Towa and Nebraska have elected democratic governors and Min- nosota, Kansas and both the Dakotas have shown a decided leaning to the alliance movement. Montana and Oregon have democratic governors and oven Colorado wavers a bit in its al- tegiance to the grand old party. Here is the danger to tho republicans and here too is their hope. The moral effect of holding the convention in the center of the alliance stronghold cannot be overestimated: It must demand the consideration of loyal thinking republic- uns everywhore. These home cities are the center of all the great east and west trunk lines, and the arteries of travel lead out also to all other points of the compass. Omaha has in the Coliseum buildin, .. hall ample for the accommodation of from 8,000 to 10,000 people. Adjacent buildings are available for committee and delegation meetings. Owmaba has practically no competitor for the con- vention excopt Chicago. Minneapolis is in dead earnest to secure the prize, but her geographical location is not suited to the particular occasion. If Chicago does not capture the convention it is morally certain to come to Omaha. Chicago will be in the midst of its world’s fair jam. Its hotels, al- ways crowded, will be overflowing and all its means of transportation will be sufficiently choked with people, not to speak of the heat and dust incident to midsummer in the great city. Chi- cago is of all places the least suited to the convention of 1892, even if there were no grave political considerations, making it necessary to go farther wes Omaha and Council Bluffs have all the hotel and other facilities necessary to the occasion. All talk to the con- trary is silenced by the facts. If we can entertain the Methodist Episcopal gen- eral conference for several weeks we are abundently able to accommodate the convention throng for a few days. The convention is ours if we expend the proper effortin the right direction at the opportune time. n party The of the hitherto Arkansas ¢ idols and states vo one to SCHOOLS FOR THE BLIND. Among other interesting statistics fur- nished by the census bureau bulletin are those pertaining to educational and charitable institutions. -We have little conception of the munificence and ex- tont of our public charities or of their growth. The unfortunates denied the light of day and the beauties which reach and influence the soul through the eye have in all times been the objects of especial pity. No faculty is so cssential to our idea of rational enjoyment as that of the sight, and none of the world’s unfortunates are so justly eatitled to the consideration of their move fortun- ate fellows as the blind save those in whom reason is dethroned. Since the year 1829 great progress has ‘been made in the methods of instructing the blind. The asylums and institutes for their education have grown in num- ber and importance until now there are 82 in America., The Perkins Institute of Boston was established. in 1829. The Yew York institution in 1831, Since those dates state after state has opened institutions at public expense until now no blind child in America need bo deprived of the com- forts which come through the knowledge imparted by instructors whose lives have been devoted to the uoble task of opening avenues for thought, action and remunerative employment to persons who have no conception of sunlight, color or form, Today in the 27 public institu- tions which reported to the census department, 2,931 pupils are instructed at an annual cost of $575,673 exclusive of expenditures for buildings, reaching $169,000 move. The per capita cost at these 27 schools is $216 por annum exclusive of buildings. In 10 years the number has increased by 890, not showing that blindness is on the in- crease beyond the natural growth of population, but that facilities for the care of the blind are added yearly. Probably there are 350 in the five schools omitted from the consus report or 3,300 in all. The Nebraska asylum was established in 1875 Tn 1880, 21 pupils wore in attendance. The number has steadily incroased from year to yearuntil in 1889, at the date when the census figures were ivon, there were 56, Of these 24 were boys and 82 girls. The current oxpenditures of the institution are slightly in excess of 811,500 per annum, In 1875 810,000 was in- vested in the original buildings. The per capita cost, exclusive of buildings, in 1889 was $207, which is below the average for the country at large by $9 per capita. Some of the institutions are very small. The Florida asylum has in at- tendunce but five pupils, and that in Oregon but14. The Ohio institution for the blind is the largest single school and provides for 283 pupils. That in New York city has 240 in attendance. Of the 27 institutes mentioned in the bulletin, those in California, Colorado, Florida, Maryland (colored), Oregon, South Carolina, West Virginia and ‘exas (colored), are training fewer pu- pils than - the Nebraska asylam.

Many of the@} leave their instructors with useful ofcupations learned whereby they are relioved from puuperism. UNIVERSITY EXTENSION IN AMERICA The subject of university extension in this country has been under considora- tion less than four years, having f been introduced to public notice by dividuals connected with the Johns Hopking university. The first experi- ment with the plan was made in Buffalo, N. Y., where, according to a writer in the carrent number of The Forum, Prof. Adams, it was entirely successful. Sub- sequontly the experimeat was introduced at Canton, O., at St. Louis, and at Baltimore, meoting with uniform euccess. Prof. Adums states that the idea of university extension in connection with Chuutauqua was conceived by Dr. J. H. Vincent dur- ing a visit to England in 1886, when he saw the English lecture system in practical operation and his own meth- ods of ng home reading in growing favor with university men. The first definite American plan, showing at once the aims, methods, cost and history of university extension leotures, was drawn up at Chautauqua by Prof. Adams in the early summer of 1888. In No- vember, 1888, the first public announce- ment was made of the plan of extension formulated by Mr. Seth Stewart, the main idea of which was the pro- motion of courses of reading at home and in social cles, along special lines, under the direction of comvetent professors. Many classos were formed according to this plan, and over 1,000 teachers in Brooklyn and New York pursued definite courses of study under goed guidance in 1889-90. The success achieved has been notable. Prof. Adams says the American field for university extension is too vast for the missionary labors of any one socie or or ation. The eastern univer- sities and the state institutions of the west and south, as well as the agricul- tural colleges throughout the country, have fields all their own, which no associatipn, of middle men can work half so well. These fields are white to the harvest, but the laborers are few. The regular profes- sors cannot ¥o”upon long missionary journeys, and Prof. Adams suggests that a stafl of university extension lecturers should be trained at our best universi- ties from theip own graduate students. This method of placing higher educa- tion within the reach of porsoas who could not otherwise obtain it, conducted upon the highest standard of university practice as far asit can practicably be applicd, hus had’remarkable success in England, but it 'is nof altogether cer- tain that we' can. look for equally great achievement in this country. Prof. Adams observes that the condi- tions of permanent success in this coun- try are so different from those in Eng- land t| wo must look forward to the establishment of a greater number of illuminating centers. The state univer- sities of Michigan, Wisconsin and Min- nesota are already in organic relations with popular educational institutions throughout wide areas and have only to utilize existing connections for the suc- cessful promotion of university exten- sion in the great northwest, and into this vast field will soon enter the new university .of Chicago. Manifestly the great success already achieved by this movement gives it the very highest claim to the attention of educators and war- rants the expectation vhat it will become in every portion of our country a power- ful and invaluable aid in promoting higher education. encoura IF 17 were practicable to turn the Pa- cific ocean or the Gulf of California into Death valley a climatic change would be effected in tho valley of the Colorado which would make that section the greatest Liealth resort in the world. An inland sea or gulf covering 1,400 square miles in the locality named would tem- per the heut of western Arizona and male the great Salt River valley, of which Pheenix is the commercial center, a very Vale of Rasselas. The soil is productive, the climate semitropical, the atmosphere dry, but the tempera- ture is almost intolerable in midsummer.

Denver News: Such schemes aro very far from representing the Catholicism of tho United States of the Catholic laity of any na tion. Kansns City Times: Horr Cahonsly may mean well, but the Cathollo archbishops, bishops and priests of the United States aro fully competent to take care of thoir charges and to provide for new comers without tho nsaistance of subjects of Kaiser Wilhelm of Germany, Kansas City Star: In forestalling the con- fliot between church and state, which any attemot on the part of the church to preserve raco distinetions in this country would surel involve, the pope has manifested much sagac 1ty and shown himself the true friend of the great religious organization of which he is the head. Chicago Inter-Ocoan: If the Propaganda do uot sce fit to chuck Herr Cahensly and his American confrores in the uso of laneuage so significant and treacherous as this, evidently the Catholic church is entering upon a p ous course, and one which, if persisted absolutely certain to motaphorically split it up tho back, in America at least. Boston Globe: Cardinal Gibbon Joinder to the Belgian misropresentation as to the policy of the American hierarchy to- ward immigrants of the Roman Catholic faith who speak a foroign language is terse, vointed and convincing. No untenable the- ory was ever demolished more offectively than by the cardinal's array of American facts. Philadelpnia Pross: The entiro projoct was and is baseless from first to last, and there is not a jot of proof that this atterapt to split up the Roman Catholic church in_ this country into organizations based on immigra- tion was ever even cousidered at Rome; but the plan has done good sorvico by demon- strating a strong natioual fooling in the church throughout the United States. St. Louis Republic: Many thousand Prus- sions have thus become a part—and a valuablo part—of the American natiouality. But Mr, Cahensly is not one of them, and it is to be hoped that he will never attempt to becomo one. He is too deficient in brains ever tosuc- ceod in any attempt he might make to be- come a part of the American nationality—tho only one that has any right to a voico in the politics of America. Minneapolis Tribune: Herr Cahensly's schomo of isolation with enforcod ignorauce of our language, laws and customs, will not be kindiy received on this sido of the Atlan- tic. Itis <o manifestly impracticablo and impolitic that, in due time, Herr Cahonsly will propably receive an intimation from the pope that it were better to let well enough alone. English 1s the languago of the United States, and always will be. Denver Republican: The popo could adopt 1o line of policy which would be more injur- ious to the Roman church in this country than the one which Herr Cahensly recom- mends. The Amoricans would resent it. Among thoso who are not Catholics it would make the Roman church very unpopular. It would look like a confirmation of much that protestants havo said to tho offect that the growth of the Roman church is a menaco to American institutions, Chicago Post: Nextto tho principles of religious independence there is nothing upon which the people of this country are more united than in opposition to foreign interven- tion in the affairs of this nation, and this ex- tends to ccclesiastical as well as to civil gov- ernments, And there are no more earnest opvonents of Cahenslyism than are to be found in the Roman Catholic hoirarchy in America, of whom may be named Cardinal Gibbons, Archbishop Ircland and Bishop Spalding. Chicago Herald: It is no part of the busi ness of a secular journal to concern itselt with the religious interosts of any olass of the people. But when Herr Cahensly at- tempts to replant foreignism among portions of the American people who have voluntarily cast it off, Herr Cahensly bocomes a proper subject for cousideration; and when Horr Cabensly, in pretended zeal for religion, makes statements that are n the face of fact and history, Herr Cahensly must accept,the consequences of his assumption, Minneapolis Journal: The wholo scheme is an outrageons assault upon the union, upon American institutions. That any set of men in Europe should dare conceive such a pro- gramme is astonishing, But it is perhaps well that the conspirators have unfolded their plan. Already the leading ecclesias- tics of the Latin church in this country have denounced the Lucorne schome as a base conspiracy. No less out-spoken is the lead- ing clerical association of that church. St. Paul Pioncer Press. Herr Cahensly needs to be warned that tae American people will tolerate no foreign interference in the affairs of this country, and no schemo which looks to making any such foreign interferenco possible; that they do not propose that any foreign power shail haye any influonce what- cver in this country, and that in pointing out this one incidental feature or effect of his plans he has outraged and insuited tho pa- triotic sentiment of the Amevican peoplo. Chicago Tribune: It is unfortunate, how- ever, for this well-laid schieme of the sccre- tary of the Archangel Raphael society that the pope himself in a_letter to Cardiual Gib- bons doclares he nover will concede to the Gemands made upon him. Leo XIIL 1s an astute old statesman as well as Pontiff, and he has had the sagacity to povceive that if sucha scheme wero attempted it would be coufronted not alono by American protest- ants of all sects but by the solid ranls of the- Irish and American Catholics of the second and third gengrations, and that the outcome would be complete discomfiture of the bold schieme, Varewell to Mary.

New York Times (mug.): It 1s plain that this man is able to dictate terms to the most prominent leaders of the party. How can ho doft! Whatis his hold upon them! Why do they not dare to throw him over! Washington Star (rop.): It would that Mr. Quay's defonse of himself in the senate has not protected his reputation to any considorable extont, but has added momentum rather to the opposition already existing to his rulo over his party Vow York World (dem.): In brief, do they feol the disgraco of Quay sufficiently to put aside the advantage of his skili and un- scrupulousness in the next national election, or only suficientyy to desiro his elimination from Pennsylvania politics bocause his ace tivity imporils snccess thero!

Washington Post (rep.): Yot the necessity of chango of tactics, a now departure, a gon- eral cleansing up and disinfection must bo apparent to many republicans besides tho Philadelphians whose names are attached to the cireular, and it is well to set the poople ta thinking in time, 1f Peunsylvanin is to bo held in the republican line for 1892 it can only bo done by harmonious connsels and thorough organization. Otherwise the disastor of 1500 is likoly to be more than duvlicated. Philadelphia North American (rep.): That there is irritation and antagonism to Mr. Quay in tho republican party it did not neod this pronunciamento to detormine. That this fecling has alroady diverted many votes we assume that all men know. But therd aro some grave and positive charges cone tained in this address, which, however ex. cusably they might be circulated by partisan malice, should never have boen subscribed t0 by the men who sign them unless they aro willing to do moro than assert them. If nona is more casy to provo than the assertion that the vindication of the porsonal and political charactor of Mr. Quay was tho only 1ssue in tho last campaign the revorend &nd other signers will find themselves in a nasty pre- dicament. soont ——————— KAN'S HORNETS, Buckbiters have long teeth.
