PATRONIZIE Omaha industry. —_—e ‘WHAT is the Omaha Board of Trade doing with reference to the Montana 1ailway? HOUSEKEEPERS should see to it that everything used in the household so far s possible is of home manufacture. OMAHA wants parks and is willing to pay for them if located in the right places. Otherwise she would hesitate. THE Fifth Ward Citizens’ club is a good suggestion for organizations in be- half of good government all over the city. CONSIST! visa rare jewel. It is hardly fair to expect a man named Brass to wear it at the cost of agood job on the World’s Fair commission. ‘WHEN we have developed our local fac- tories by giving them our patronage to the exclusion of outsiders, it will require no bonus to induce others to locate in Omaha. IN THE midst of our plenty to temper our rejoicings over remunerative prices for our food products comes the thought that thousands of Russian peasants are dying for want of food. JonN M. RAGAN of Hastings enjoyed the first part of his tussle with Dictator Burrows immensely, but the Dictator laughs last. Mr. Ragan will not inter- copt the buzz-saw so gleofully hereafter. LET the manufucturers of Omaha make up a list of articles made in this city for the information of the people so that patriotic citizens may practice as woll as preach the doctrine, Patronize Omaha Industry, THE State Board of Health machine is grinding out cortificates with compara- tively little friction. The doctor who has a dollar and a diploma is compara- tively safe, provided no other doctor has a grudge to work off against him. OMAHA in common with other local- ities is suffering from dull times, and yet we have it in our power to give an impulse to the business of the city which in eighteen months will add 60,000 peo- ple and doublo the retail and manufac- turing trade of the city. THE park commissioners are getting down to business. The proposition for soveral parks within easy rench of the city is one that will meet the approval of our citizens. Upon no other practica- ble idea can we hope 1o have bonds voted for the purchase of land for park purposes. Ir MAY be annoying to the Board of County Commissioners to be continually reminded that the last legislature passed a law providing for a license of 8500 per annum for saloons in the former prohibited two mile belt. It probably exasperates all public bodies to be truth- fully told that they arve neglocting their duty. e ——— ____J SECTION 581 of the compiied statutes, 1869, provides “‘grand juries shall not hereafter be drawn, summoned or re- quired to attend at the sittings of any court within this state as provided by law unless the judge thereof shall so di- rect by writing, under his hand, and filed with the clerk of said court.” The judges of the distriet court in Douglas county perhaps understand that there is 8 orying necossity for a grand jury this varticular autumn, THE OMAHA DAILY BEE AUGUST 30, 1891—-TWENTY THE GRAND ARMY REUNION. The reunion of the Nebraska depart- ment of the Grand Army of the Repub- lie, which will begin at Grand Island to- morrow and continue through the week, is an annual event of supreme interest to the voterans of this state. Nebraska is one of the few states that have regu- lar departmental reunions, and the fact bears strong testimony to the ear- nest spirit of comradeship and the sincere loyalty to their organ- ization which prevail among tho union soldiers and sailors of the state who are members of the Grand Army. Nowhere are the men who fought to preserve the nation united by stronger bonds of fraternity., The sol- dier population of Nebraska, though less numerots than in many other states, contains representatives of nearly all the states that furnished troops to the union army, and their fellowship is the stronger for tine common love of the homes they left. Nothing is more im- pressive at these reunions than the meotings of the veterans from the various states, who as they recall the incidents of the march and the battlefield and the bivouae, do not forget to refer fondly to the old state on whose soldier rolls their names are in- delibly inscribed. Speaking recently to n body of vot- erans in the east gathering toa socinl reunion, President Harrison said that such assemblages are full of interest to the veteran and full of instruction and inspiration to those who gather with them. But while there is pleasure in theése meetings, they have also a pathetic side. **We gather,” said the president, *“with diminishod ranks from year to year. We miss the comrades who ave dropping by the way. We see repeated now that which wo saw as tho great column moved on in the cam paign of the war—a comrado dropping out, borne to the hospital, followed to the grave—and yet these soldier memories and thoughts are brightened by the glories which inspire and at- tend all these gatherings of the veterans of the war.” Such re- flections as these must come tothe men who will gather at Grand Island this week. Many of them will miss comrades with whom they grasped hands a year agoand talked over the events that are first in the thoughts of every old soldier—comrades who have fallen out of the ranks of the living, but the lesson of whose loyalty and heroism lives on, an enduring source of inspira- tion to those who are left and those who shall como after, yot while they mourn the departed they will still re- member with pride the glories they helped achieve. This year’s reunion promises to surpass in interest and at- tondance any that has preceded it. A number of prominent Grand Army men from other states are expected to be present, the programme arranged as- sures a variety of entertainment of the most interesting character, and every- thing has been provided necessary to insure the comfort and enjoyment of the veterans and their guests. If good weather 15 vouchsafed the forthcoming ineeting of the Nebraska department of the Grand Army of the Republic will be the most memorable gathering of old soldiers and sailors in the history of the state. THE BEE presents elsewhere all the informaticn obtainable, and the [fullest ever before given, regarding the present strength of the Grand Avmy in Nebraska, with facts respecting the individual members which will be of intevest to every vet- eran. A KINDERGARTEN ASSOCIATION. A number of ladies in Omaha who are familiar with the kindergarten system” of training are agitating the gquestion of organizing in this city a kindergarten agsociation. The suggestion will no doubt meet with encouragement here us it has in Denver, St. Paul, Los Angeles, San Francisco and other western cities. The purpose of such an organization is two fold. First the dissemination of information in regard to the Froebel system of instruction and the education of public sentiment in favor of its adop- tion into the public schools of Omaha; second the establishment here of one or more frce kindergartens supported by private subscription as a means of prov- ing the value of the kindergarten and for the benefit of children of poor people who would not otherwise have oppor- tunity to enjoy such training as is con- templated by the kindergarten idea. The movement ought to be encour- aged by persons who are interested in educational matters because the kinder- garten is approved by the best educators in the world. It ought also to enlist tne sympathy of persons philanthropically inclined because of the light it will throw into the lives of children among the poor people of certain sections of the city who know nothing but squalor from birth to the age when they enter the public schools or go out to work for wages. Asa practical method of mis- sionary endeavor among the foreign people in Omaha, whom the churches strive to reach by sewing schools and Sunday schools, the kindergarten must commend itself. The expense of putting up apartments, supplying material and paying for teach- ers 18 not great. In St. Paul several of these institutions are maintained among the poorer clusses at a total annual ex- pense of but $2,000. The beneficent work they have accomplished there is the subject of remark by all who have given it attention, and a sentiment in favor of a more complete system in connection with the public schools is rapidly grow- ing. In Chicago a missionary among the Pcles and Bohemians of a sec- tion of the city has made his mission notable by the remurkable re- sults he has achieved among these peo- ple by the aid of kindergartens, In Washington a fred kindergarten [for colored children is accomplishing won- derful good. In Los Angelesa local kin- dergarten association maintains one school and the city contributes a small sum toward the maintenance of another. Their work is chiefly among the Italians and Spanish, In every large city there are working women with infants whom they are forced to loave all day long either to the care of older brothers and sisters or neighbors while they go out to earn | mouey for thelr support. A kindorgar- ‘lnn in their midst is n godsend and ‘ they impressed qn the minds of the pupils the little ones who would otherwise bo loft to the misery of hovels and the uncertain care of persons perhaps in- competent and vicious, are taken into the little home schools and trained in morals, manners and rudimentary lo- dustries, the benefits of which are last- ing. There can be no argument raised ngainst the kindergarten. It per- forms a service for the child, the parent and the public, which oniy the most caroful home training can per- form for it. Itis a sensible, practical, bumane, enjoyable philanthropy which invites the most active sympathy of ull right minded persons. Iy all means lot us have a kindergarten association here. CONCERNING OMAHA INDUSTRIES. The crops in Nobraska for this year aro immense and the prices remunera- tive. In some instances the returns are which produces them. Waeare entering upon an era of general prosperity, and this year will relieve the finan- cinl pressure which has depressed the state for a long period. When the farmer prospers the local merchant and business men of all classes are ben- efived. When crops are good villages and cities in farming communities grow and the greater centers of trade feel the impulse of improved business conditions. When a city reaches metropolitan proportions, however, it cannot afford to roly entirely upon the resources of good soil, good crops and good prices. These thingsare valuable; indeed they are essential in agricultural sections, but other resources must be developed to secure permanent growth and independence. There is danger that our citizons are relying too implicitly upon the grain and stock product of Nebraska and the west and are ih danger of overlooking other sources of income to Omaha which must be developed in order to preserve for this city the commercial supremacy already attained. We have here a large population of working people. Their earnings are the backbone of our retail trade High prices for farm products mean increased cost of living for them and necessitate steady employmont and good wages. These are not afforded them morely by increased wealth among the farmers, although indirectly they may be bene- fited. Good cropsand good prices for them stimulate jobbing trade and the manufacture of articles for shipment out of the city, but they do not 1ncrease tho local trade of local manufacturers of ar- ticles used chiefly by our own citizens. Therefore it behooves every citizen of Omaha to turn from the bright out- looi on the farms to the depressed con- ditions of local trade. We must do something here and now to improve the business situation among our retail meichants and our local manufacturers. As has been repeatedly stated in these columns, Bradstreets credits Omaha with 12,000 wage earners who are em- ployed in local factories large and small. Of this number perhaps 3,000 are in the railrond shops and smelting works. This leaves 9,000 in the 126 smaller factories which we are in the habit of passing by every day without much notice. The 12,000 em- ployes support directly and indirectly not less than 60,000 persons. Iu is plain as the muitiplication table that if we can double the number of wage earners in Omaha we can ndd 60,000 people to our population and double our retail trade. It is 30 easy, too, to increase the num- ber of employes. The trade of 140,000 people in Omaha for Omaha manufac- tures in preference to those of other cities will a great deal more than double the output of our local factories. An agreement on the part of the people of this city to stand by each other, if carried out, means an immense increase of retail trade, an improvement of rental and real estate values, an increase in the quantity and variety of manufactures and prosperity in every line of business in Omaha. The relief of this city from depression in trado is 80 simple and easy of accomplishment that it hardly seems necessary to explain its details. It rests with the individual first, the retail dealer next and the capitalist last. If individuals will buy Omaha goods, the retail dealer will sell them and the de- mand for them will interest the capital- ist in providing the supply HARRISO) H1TS. Few public men and no president with the possible exception of Abraham Lin- coln possessed so happy a faculty of ut- tering 50 many wise sayings and per- potrating so few errors in his public speeches a8 Benjamin Harrison. His tour ®f the south and west orought to him great credit as an off hand speaker. His recent journeyings in New England have drawn from him several short addresses each day, and each of them is a gem in its way entirely distinct from any and all others, He hus said many humorous things, but there is a weightand lasting quality about some of his epigrammati refevences to American politics, patriot- ism and principles which deserve to be sot out by themselves. At Fairhaven, Vt., after pleasantly greeting the citizens who gathered about the rear of the sleeping car, he suid: You are here, each in his own place, these good ladies in that supremely influential position—tne American home—and you, my countrymen, in the shops and 1n the fields, making contributions to the presperity and the glory of this great nation. It is pleasant to know that the love of country, stimulated by the teaching of the father and of th mother, revived by these recollections of the fivst strugglo for independence, deepened by the sacritices which were made in the civil War to preserve what our fathers had pur- chased for us. are still holding sway in the heaxts of our people. And the same day a few minutes later at Castleton the site of a normal school this tribute to the New Eugland school toacher at once delicate and truthful: One of the most influential characters in the history of the United States is the New England school teacher. 1f we could follow the track of these intelligent men and women Who have gone out from the New England states, to the west and southwest, if we could trace these strong, yet slender and hard-to-be-discovered threads of influence which they have started in the communities to which they went; if we could know bow i equal to the entire valuation of the land . brought under are the great lessons of sell-respoct and for free institutions and social order,we d havo a higher thought than we over had®#t of tho power and dig- nity of the ploneers of education. At Middlebury still in the midst of educational institutions the president speaks grandly of their influence in these words, neblo enough for a place in the memory of eve citizen of the union: ‘ My counvrymen, kings may rule over an ignorant people, and, by their iron control, hold them in subjection and in the quietness of tyranny, but a free land rests upon the intelligence of its people and has no other safety than in woell rour ed education and thorough moral training. Speaking again the samo day at Bur- lington with superior dignity and simple eloquence: We not unfrequently and with ease, lift ourselves above all the contentions of party strife and stand in the clear, inspiring and stimulating sunshine as American patriots. We are couspicuously a people who give their allegiunce to institutions and not to men. At St. Albans on the evening of the day which brought all of the above uttarances he delivered a brief addvess, every word of which is worth repeating and to quote from which would do it in- justice. On the next day at Richmond, after pleading that no American citizen shall ever grudge the president the re- freshment which comes from occasional its to the country, he feelingly gives utterance te this sentiment: ‘The bracing of the good will of the people of this country is very essential 1o those who, 1n the midst of great perplexity and doubt and under staggering responsioility, endeavor, as they seo the right, to do it. Again at Waterbary half an hour later: As long as we can preserve independence and self respect, and that dogree of comfort in the home that makes it » pleasant abode when the day's toil 1s ended, and that ona- bles, by the most careful thrift, tho head of the household to lay by for the family and to lighten ia some measure the care and labor of the chilaren that are to follow him, there can be no happier land than ours. Speaking in the state house to the legislature of Vermont this good old- fashioned patriotic doctrine is uttered: If wo shall ever, or anywhere, allow a doubt to settle in the minds of our people whether the results of our elections are hon- cstly attained, whether the laws made sro framed by those who have been properly chosen by the majority, then all sanction 1s witharawn from law, ana_respect from the rulers, who, by false ballot, are placed in public offices. On Thursday at Windsor the.delicate humor of most- &f his extemporaneous addresses in .well illustrated in his reference to Hon, William M. Evarts, who is spending the summor -a this country seat there,in which he says: It is pleasant to be here today at the home of my esteemed friend and your fellow townsman, Hony William M. Evarts. Iam glad that he has introduced into Vermont model farming and has shown you what the income of o large vity law practice can do in the fertilization 6f % farm. In the score of speeches delivered be- tween Benningtoh and Rutland there was no partisan utterance, no reflec- tion upon oppements, no hint or in- | nuenao which ygauld be distorted into a criticism of the career or the sentiment of any other public man. His specches were well timed, eloquent, chaste in language and pure in sentiment. They are absolutely unassailable ana once move prove that President Harrison both well poised and well equipped by education and experience for the re- sponsible position to which the votes of the people called him after an exciting campaign in November, 1888, THE STATIONARY ENGINEERS. The National Association of Station- ary Engineers, whose annual convention will be held in this city this week, deserves more than passing comment. The averago man, who does not happen to be particularly interested, has little idea of the importance of these engin- eers to the industrial interests of the country, but when it is remembered that without these men the industrial wheels of the nation would bo ata standstill, streets and buildings would be without light, edifices over four stories in height would be practically useless for business purposes, the wheat would b unground and the cotton would remain unspun, it can be easily seen that civilization is largely indebted to the engineer. Then, t must be borne in mind that not only do they hotd in their hands the comfort of the people, but without their Lieads and steady hands that mysterious element which we call steam and which is now a slave might be a destroying demon. It is for reasons like these that a con- vention of men of this class is of more than ordinary interest. Starting some twelve years ago, a handful of wage workers, as a preamble to their consti- tution they adopted the follow- ing: “This association shall not be used for the furtherance of strikes, neither shall it interfere with the employer and the employe with re- aard to wages ” While in the light of present ovents this may not appear to amount to mugl, it should be remem- bered that thege.wage workers have car- ried this princTple through a long series of labor agitations, during which many times their adherence to this declara- tion threatened their very existence, Again, this asfociation has been found all over the country, through their local branches, knofifng at the doors of the various state.legislatures, asking for laws for the better preservation of life and propéfity, for the examina- tion and. licensing of wmen placed in charge of sfs pm boilers, and invaria- bly their petitigps to the various legisla- tures have beenwo worded as to mean that the expéhs of such examination and license shall be borne by the en- gineers themselves. In other words, for tho sako of elevating their profes- sion_ they have voluntarily asked the various state legislatures to place npon them a special tax, 'he men who will assemble here this week come from all parts of the United States and Canuda, from New York to San Francisco, from Duluth to New Or- leans. They come here to legislate in bohalf of their order and to confer to- gether for the advancement of steam en- gineering. Among them will be found men holding the highest engineering positions in the country, as well as those occupying less exalted but no less hon- orable positions. Omaha isto b con- gratulated on having the honor of re- receiving within her gates these men of brain and brawn, THE CHILIAN REVOLUTION, The overthrow of the Balmaceda gov- ernment in Chili seems to be assured. The complete success of the congres- sionalist army at Valparaiso is fully confirmed, and the best opinion is that the dictator will not attempt to make another stand. He had evidently con- centrated all the force at his command for the decisive confl in which his principal generals were killed, his army routed, and he him] self forced to seck safety in humiliating flight, und with the people flocking to the standard of tho revolutionists his cause would appoar to be utterly hopeless. No beller evidence of this could perhaps bo needed than the fact that the president-elect, Vicuna, who had been nctive in the cause of Baimaceda, sought protection on a German war ship, which he cer- tainly would not have done if he had believed there was the slight- est chance of continuing the conflict with any show for the sucenss of the di tator. The probability is, as suggestod by the dispatches at hand at this writ- ing, that Balmacedn will leave the country, if he has not alrendy done so. It the signal victory obtainel by the revolutionists shall prove to boe the end of the struggle all friends of constitu- tional government throughout the world will congratulate the Chilian people on the result. The conflict, though of short duration, has been carried on by both sides in the most determined spirit, and on the part of Balmaceda, if the reports are trustworthy, with a relentless bru- tality wholly repugnant to modern war- fare. Unless he is grossly misrepre- sented, the ferocity shown by the dic- tator will entitle him to a place ininfamy with Attila. According to the opinions expressed by the ropresentatives of the congressionalist party in the United States, there will be no retaliation for the barbari- tios allegod 1o have been practiced by Balmaceda, or under his orders, and the revolutionists would lose in the respect of the world by imitating his policy. They have made their contest, as all fair-mind2d men believe, in the interest of constitutional govern- ment, and they could make no greater mistake than to give way to the spirit of revenge in the hour of victory and invite the reprobation of the world by such deeds of atroc- ity as are charged to the account of thoso they have overcome. The progress of Chili, interrupted by this most unfor- tunate civil strife, will resume its wonted course as s00n as a constitutional admin- istration of affairs can be re-established, and that country will speedily again take its placo among tho most prosper- ous and progressive of South American states, with every assurance of a longer era of peace than that which was broken by the revolution. ELSEWHERE in this issue is a sugges- tion for the formation of a manufac- turers’ association whose especial and exclusive purpose shall be the thorough development of Omaha industries, It should not take the 128 manufacturing firms of this city more than a minute to appreciate the importance of the pro- posed organization. [ts secretary should be an able, wideawake, well informed man who should devote his entire time to the work of encouraging and build- ing up the business of members of the association. A good man, backed by a stron g association, can maice himself in- valuable to Omaha and its factories. It would not take long foran organization of this character to double the out-put of local factories, increase the num- ber of employes at least one- half and stimulate the retail trade of Omaha amazingly. All that the movement for patriotic support of Omaha industry now needs is direction. THE BEE has opened the eyes of citi- zens to their duties and their oppor- tunities. The proposed association can carry forward the work and will be backed by the warmest encouragement and good will of vetailers, bankers and business wen generally, A compaign organized now upon the platform, Patronize Omaha Industry, will sweep the field and the coming winter will be w surprise to everybody. CONDEMNATION proceedings have been instituted at Peoria on the right- of-way for the long talked of Hennepin canal and that great commercial project promises before many years to be an tablished fact. It will open the M sippi and the gull to Chicago and the great lakes. It is one of the extrava- gances for which future generations will rise up and call the Fifty-first congress blessed. JAMES BLAINE, JR. would be a great deal better liked 1f he failed to contest his wife’s suit for divorce at Sioux Falls, The young man ought to know that the sympathies of the coun- try ave with his wife in the domestic difficulties which his prominence as the son of a great father has forced upon public notice. Mr, Blaine’s reputation will suffer more by a contest than de- fault, GOVERNOR THAYER'S silence and in- action in the Hastings asylum matter are by no means creditable to a gentlo- man of his dignity, chavacter and honor- able public carcer. He owes it to him- self and the state to uct upon the find- ings of the board of public lands and buildings. ANY political combination which rep- resents the corporations and arrays itsell solidly against the farmers will suffe and deserve a humiliating defeat, and the parties to such a combine will be thoroughly demoralized so far as future political influence is concerned. —e WE have no patience with a republi- can who proposes an unconditional sur- render in the face of an enemy who hus thus far been successful only because he surprised us and fought us from ambuscade, WHEN that geological excursion com- pletes 1te 6,000-mile tour there will not be much left to know about the steucture of this portion of the giobe, PAGE As a Signal of Victory.

The Foreign Wheat Deflcit, New York Tims. Some days azo we dirccted attention to the opintons of the well known London corre- spondent of Bradstreot's coneerning the quan- tity of wheat required by European countries in addition to their domestic supplics.
