The advertising train should be in the field for the fairs, SUNDAY is a proper occasion for adopting good resolutions, Let the Omaha reader thereforo resolve to patronize Omaha industry. WITHIN three months we can have a manufacturing activity in Omaha which will surprise everybody, by simply patronizing Omaha industry. PERHAPS the county board will reflect over Sunday upon the fact that forty or fifty saloons are runping within two miles of Omaha without license. RECIPROCITY means simply that we will exchange our surplus tor what we cannot produce ourselves, but will buy nothing abroad which we mateat home. Masor MCKINLEY has opened his own campnign with a speech which is an eye opener to the two-faced organi- zation being lod to defeat by Governor Campbell. THE Nebraska State Business Men's association is, meeting with gratifying encourngement in working up its adver- tising train, and it deserves the encour- agoment for the idea is practicablo and will be profitable, PARNEL pugnacity promises noth- ing for him and nothing for Ireland. Parnell ought to be patriotic enough to see that he is a back number and cannot put afresh date upon himself by any sort of punishment inflicted upon his enemies. Parnell’s sun is a long time sotting, but it is behind impenetrable clouds and must go down without ever again being seen in its-full effulgence. NEBRASKA independents will not feel particularly complimented by the Chi- g0 Tribunc’s comment upon their Hast- ings platform, but thoy cannot find fault with the great daily for telling the truth about them. The 7'ribune thinks it questionablo *‘whether as many ab- surd and contradietory propositions ever were piled up in one document.” The independents will live to be ashamed of their platform if not to carry another election. MISSIONARY rioters in China are not likely to inquire into the tenots of the faith of the white people at the mission- ary establishments, saving those of one denomination and killing those of un- other. They may wonder in their wild, heathenish frenzy why the white man’s religion requires so many difforent stylos of preachers and churches and why the priests of one refuse to afliate with the priests of another, but this will not deter them from burning and robbing all with- out diserimination RUDINI has not received much no- toriety since he tackled the American promior to his disadvantage. The Chinesa difliculties bring him to the front on the other side the Atlantic, however, with the patriotic announce- that if Germany, England and France do not care to co-operate with him he will send a fleet over to the Celestial Kingdem himself to thrush the heathens. Rudini is a fiery talker, and yet after roading his dispatehes to Ameriea soon after the New Orleans trouble we are not prepared to tremble for the China- men whom he proposes to keop away from the citizeus of Italy temporarily sojourning along the Yang-tse-Kiang, . —— NEBRASKA'S board of health scems to be a elose corporation with a sceret code of procedure. At all events this organi- zation refuses to make public part of its ofticial proceedings. This is wrong. No other state board pretends to con- ceal any of its public business. The protests filed agninst admitting insurance companies to do business in Nebraska are public property when fited and so should be protests against issuing licenses to practice medieine when filed with the board of heaith. The new conclave of doctors may have the fates of the fraternity in their hands, but they have no right to con- ceal any of their proceedings or mako a secroet of uny action broughy before them. SCIPROCITY The prineciple of roc to national tariff legislation an exchange of favors mutually cial. Itcan be applied at home, lo eally, with gratifying results, The wage-earner of the eity whose living is here should exchange his cash for the manufactured argicle of his neighbor that the neighbor may contribat to the prosperity of the wage earner’s em- ployer. Omaha bakers should buy yoast from Omaha yeast makers, so t Omuha yeast makers may hire help in their factory who snall in turn buy bread of Omaha bakeries. Omaha cigar makers should wuse Omaha boxes to enable Omaha box makers 10 hire men who can smoke Omaha cigars. So should the Omaha capitalist purchase Omaha manufactures to encourage the establishment of factorigs, the employiment of people, the inceease of retail trade and the improve- ment of real estate values. In carrying forward this reciprovity Omaha money will be enabled to loan their capital to worthy enterprisos and at the same time improve their security by stimulating trade and adding to vhe pop- ulation which shall consume the product and loan its savings to the bank and do its business through the bank.

The 140,000 people of Omahu have it in their power wday to increase their number to 200,000 within 18 months. If the local manufactories now employing 12,000 men were given all the Omaha trade in their respective lines they would be compelled within the time named to increase their force o1 employes to 18,000 at least and this would add a population of 30,000 to the city. Tosup- ply these 30,000 additional people with groceries, meat, other necessaries and luxuries and transact other business for them would permanently employ not less than 6,000 additional men, rep- resenting another 30,000 increase in population, making 60,000 in all added to the present number of souls in Omaha, The idea is not chimerical. Ttis in- tensely practical. It is patriotism of the most profitable character! The indi- idual is appealed to, not to make a sacrifice for the common good, but simply to use the opportunity presented for advancing his own interests and those of his neighbors at the same time without expense 1o either. If our people could be brought to a proper appreciation of the value of cooperation in its full sense the business pulse of Omaha would at onee be quick-: ened and good times would be restored. Let every Omaha man make it vhe rule of his life to demana Omaha goods from Omuha merchants and the merchants will at onco call upon the manufacturers with increased orders. Providence helps them that helps themselves and we are ourselves to blame because we have not 25,000 wage carners in our manufacto- ries instead of 12,000, and only 140,000 people instead of 250,000. AT HOME that of ben enrned 50 civar mwakers com 1o THE POSTAL TELEGRAPH ABROAD, The letter of Mr. E. Rosewater, which Tie Bek prints this morning, supple- menting his former lettor regarding the postal telegraph systems in Europe with much interesting information regarding detaiis of operation and management, will reward careful reading. The ques- tion of establishing postal telegraphy in the United States is a very live question, touching closely the interasts of the whole people. Every year the demand grows for more oxtended facili- ties rapid communication and for cheaper and better tele- graph service, and this demand is not being met. If the experience of the past may fairly be appealed to as indicating what may be expected in the future, the wants of the people will never be satisfactorily supplied, at charges which will insure a fair return, until the government takes control of the matter and connects the telegraph with the postal system. The great im- portance of this question, there- fore, makes it desirable that every intelligent citizen shall be fully informed sgarding postal telegraphy where it has been carried to successful operation und its value to the public demonstrated. Mr. Rosewater is peculiarly qualified, both by practical knowledgo and long study of this ques- tion, to give the needed information, and therefore his contributions to this subject are of especial value, It may surprise most people to learn that the telegraph system in Engiand is in most respects far in advance of the systom in this country, and that this is the case is due to the fact of goverument control. It appears that the govewnment is con- stantly solicitous to improve the service to facilitawe communication, and thus to benefit the public, whose interests ave of first consideration. Mr. Rosewater found the celerity in hundling telegrams and the extraordinary facilities for their reception and transmission to be the most suggestive feature of the London postal telegraph system, and much superior to the present service by Amor- ican companies. The French postal telegraph system is very simi- lar to that in England, the latler really being patterned after that of the former. In the important matters of cheapnes: and efficiency the telegraph service in England and France is in advance of tnat in this country, and with respect to the objection to postal telegraphy on political grounds, that is, that it would givo o dungerous power to the party in control of the governmont, Mr, Rose- water found both in England and France that the employes in the elograph sorvice are absolutely in- dependent of political influence or pres- sure. Men of various political opinions are cmployed und no question is ever asked regarding their views, They are not allowed to take an nctive part in politics, but they vote as they please. The uniform answer to the inquiries of | Mr. Rosewater was that such a thing as wampering with dispatehes for political of a procity as applied | YHE UMAHA DAILY B |'andn: or cosrelon of émployes_ 1s_un known. No fair-minded man will dou! that with a postal telegraph system in this country dispatches would be just carefully guarded letters are, and that the employes of such a service would be as free from political coercion as are the letter earriers and other o1 ployes of the postal service now. ns GRIEVANCE OF THE FARMER, Among the papers read before the American Associntion for the Advance- ment of Seience, in session in Washing- ton city, was orfe by Professor James of the University of Pennsylvanin, discuss- ing the grievance of the Amevican farmer and suggesting remedi At this time, when the farmers of the country as a whole are looking to an assured future of almost unprecedentod prosperity, it may seem inovportune to talk of griev- ances, but it will be none the less inter- esting to note what a professor of polit- ical economy and a student of oxisting economie conditions has to submit on this subject. Professor James thinks nothing will be gained either from an economic or polit- ical point of view by belittling or derid- ing the views of western farmers on the money question, on the tariff, on the railroad policy, on taxation and other similar topi The American farmer has areal grievance that will not become ioss by poo-poohing it, but one which must be carefully studied by students of economics and statistics to ascertain, if possible, how far it is justified and whether it can be remedied, and if so, hy what means. Professor James sug- gests several causes for the g ance of the farmer and in the policy of the rail- roads, which has borne hard upon the individual farmee and upon the farmers as a class, It has altered all the condi- tions of agriculture in many sections of the country, and in nearly all of them in such a way as necdlessly to burden and embarrass the farmer, Another cause is the system of taxation, which as a whole rests more heavily upon the farmer. Thereis little doubt, said Professor James, that under the method of a general property tax now prevailing in this country the rural dis- trict is, relatively speaking, more heay- ily taxed than the city. Both the finan- cial and tariff policies of the country, in the opinion of Professor James, dis- criminato against the farmers’ interosts. Referring to remedies, the alteration of the railway policy, read- justment of the system of tax- ation, improvement of the tariff and changes in the banking and general monetary policy of the country, are set down as mere palliatives, which do not 20 to the root of the matter. The forces which are crowding the American farmer to the wall are world-wide and not merely national forces. He is going to the wall because he is trying to com- pete with farmers of a low grade of in- telligence and civilization in_the pro- duction of crops where intelli- gence and civilization count for comparatively little. Professor James said the American farmer must seek new crops -whore intelli gence and skill count for more than mere fertility of soil or juxtaposition to market, and where having once estab- lished himself he may bid defiance to the ignorance and inefficiency of foreign peasunt, ryat or boer. This calls for a broad and liberal policy toward agricul- ture in all its relations. In conclusion Professor James said: ‘‘if our farmers’ alliances, grangers’ associations, horny- handed sons of toil conventions, etc., would, with all their -gotting, got understanding; would, after securing, or better while securing, needed reforms in the railway, tax, tariff and monetary policy of the country, go to the very root of the matter, viz: Remedy the intolerance, ignovance, conservatism of the farming classes themselves in all that pertains to agriculture, no Ameri- can could have cause to regrot even tho wildest lucubrations of the fiat money anti-corporation demagogue.” There is unquestionably some whole- some truth in this, but Pro- fossor James errs in assum- ing that the American farmer is going to the wall, unl ess the conclusions of some equally careful staticians are all wrong. On the contravy, giving some weight to the views of Mr. C. Wood Davis and others who have followed his line of investiga- tion, the era of a stoadily advancing prosperity for the American farmer is at hand. With the population of Furope alveady groatly in excoss of its capacity for producing food, it would seem that the farmers of America are assured a profitable market abroad for all their surplus until the home market shall have grown to proportions, not many years hence, that will require the entire domestic production. Reforms and changes are undoubtedly demanded in the interest of justice to the Ameri- can farmers, but it is not correct to say of them as a class that they are going to the wall. KINDERGARTEN INSTRUCTION, Among all the advanced movements in educational circles within a few years that in favor of incorporating the kinder- garten into the public school system is at once the most interesting and promises the most beneficent results to the coun- try at large. Within twenty years the system olabocated by Froobel has grown rapidly in favor in all countries where the education of childven is given thought and attention. From very in- significant beginnings in Amervica, the kindergarten has steadily advanced in favor until now it is recog- nized by leading educators as the systom best adapted to the earliest instruction of the child. It has not become u part of many public school systems, but it is soon to be ndopted in all our principal cities if the signs of the times are read corvectly. San Francisco, Boston, Philadelphia, Rochester and St. Louis have free kin- dergurtens supported from public funds. St. Paul, Washington, Los Angoles and other cities have free kindor- gartens kept up private sub- scriptions. In every largo city of the union private kindergartons abound and ull over the country the dis- cussion proceeds as to whether Froebel's idea shall be engrafted upon the Amer- by iean system or continued as private in- struction. Congress will bo asked to | adopt the system in the District of Co- i UNDAX, AUGUNT w}gm-gnrn-u associations urging its importance is merely u question of little children of our cities will be githered into apartments especially proded for them, where the kindergarten thacher and kindergarten materials and appliances will be fu nished by the publie. Their utility is admitted, 'Fh#flponsvv of conducting them will soon be provided for. There were in 1888, at the time of the last government report upon the sub- ject, kiudorgartens, with 1,202 tenchers and 81,227 pupils. This repre- sents their growth since 1870, when at- tention began to be directed to the system on this side of the Atlantic. Our people have heen slow to recognizoe ite advantages, largely because 1n American homes parents have more leisure for imparting private instruction than in those of foreign countries. The demands upon the assimilating capac- ity of our public schools has grown tremendously in those 20 years. The proportion of the porer anu more illiterate classes of foreignors immigrating to America has increased more rapidly than our facilities for ab- sorbing them, T'he public school is the essential and chief guarantee that these elements shall become o useful part of our social organism. The school work proper as hitherto understood d. not reach to the roots of the evil with which this great influx if ignorant foreigners threaten our coun- try. The kindergarten is the nearest approach to an American home influ- ence, and intelligent home instruction which can be devised. Its incorpora- tion'into the system of public schools will take the children of working people who are forced to neglect their home training at three years of age, and carry them in their amusements to the age of eight, imparting to them meanwhile habits of cleanline: politeness, industry and accuracy, whiie teacking them to talk, read, write and laying the foundations for industrial em- ployment in after years. It is the only practicable way of lengthening theaves- age period of attendance upon instruc- tion and the success which has already attended kindergarten training disposes of all question as to its utility. There are two points of weakness in our public school system. One is that the course of study is not always shaped with aneye toresults of a practical nature, and the dther is the fact that an alarmingly large proportion of all the children who enter the public schools never reach the higher grades. The kindergarten will largely correct these weaknesses. It is clementary industrial training and without forcing the mind into books lands the pupil at eight year of age at the threshold of the public school proper with a variety ana extent, of information which ordinary methods of instruction “‘ouid never impart. The kindergarten discussion has reached Omaha. Several kindergartens have from time to time been established here and their results have been en- tirvely satisfactory to their putrons. The board is asked to incorporate the kinder- garten into the system of the public schools. The arguments in its favor have a peculiar force in Omaha because of the large number of foreign-speaking citizens and busy wage-earners in the city. If itis valuable as an adjunct to the public schools anywhere the field for the kindergarten here is especiaily promising, The Omaha schools have been kept well to the frontof educa- tional progress und will not fall far be- hind other cities in the adoption of this latest if not best idea for increasing their efficiency and beneficial influence. lumbia, and in every state and merits, time when t 50 52 REUNION AND FAIR. THE BEE believes in events which get the people of thisstate together. It wishes it were possible for every citi- zen of Nebraska to meet every other cit- izen some time during each year. There is nothing so valuable to a com- monwealth, city or neighborhood as the sympathy which comes from close association. There would be fewer crimes, fewer differences in courtand fewer misfortunes to honor and finances if people could intermingle more freely and exchange ideas and dis- cuss the conditions of life with each other. The grand army and othor or- ganizations do a great deal toward keeping the people of Nebraska in touch with euch other. The Grand Army reumon at Grand Island every year and the state fair at Liocoln are the two great annual jubilees of Ne- braska at large. On these two occa- sions people from all sections of the state meet and become acquainted. They both do our citizens great good besides inviting attention from the out- side woud to our peoplo and our products. The reunion commences this week and will be in full blast the week following. Theo etate fair follows the reunion immedi- ately and its big days are the week be- ginning Septembor 7.
