The verdict of the jury has been aflirmed and the day of execution has been set, with a liberal allowance of time for Neal to make his peace with mankind and his Maker. The efforts that are now being made to have the governor inter- fore in Neal’s behalf do not come from reputable and law-abiding but from the slumsand from the brothels where Neal is said to have sympathizing friends ready to contribute money for greedy lawyers who are not very partic- ular from what source a fat fee comes.

THE MOHONK CONFERENCE, Iastern philanthropic sentiment upon the Indinn question and western prac- tical experience have held the friends of the rod man in the two sections a long ways apart. Nevertheless, western men of candor must admit that New England sentiment and practical missionary offort has done a great deal to- ward moulding legisiation upon Indian aff and in directing Indian administration in the past few years. The attitude of the Indian Rights association and similar organ- izations and the active efforts of socioties having the civilization of the Indian at heart have helped to pass the allotment law and to establish the present school policy with reference to the war. nation. To their somewhat ulti mental fondness for the Indian we owe the present rapid disintegra- tion of the tribes and tho break- ing up of Indian reservations, When the hard sense of the woest is analyzed and placed by the side of the humane sympathy of New England upon thi Indian question it is found the two scc- tions not far apart. They are both striving for the same ultimate result, but with different incentives. The east- ‘ern man wants to Christianize the In- dian, The western man is not so pae- ticular about changing his faith as he is about him to individualize himself and become a self-sustai citizon, The effect is the sume practically and with a proper exchange of views the of- forts to improve the condition of the savages might ho brought into harmony and the good people of the east and the good people of the west would resvect ench other more and accomplish better results all around. This week the eastern friends of the Indian will convene at the Luake Mo- honk house in Ulstor county New York in the annual Mohonk Indian conference. The owner of this summer resort, Fon. Albert K. Smiloy has for several years called together from 100 to 200 oeminent people in the religious, philan- thropic and political world for a confer- once on the everlasting Indian problem, The members of the aro the guests of the warm-hearted Quaker and his good wife duving the pro- ceedings, and everybody who is for- tunate enough to participate goes home full of enthusinsm for the cause which annually brings them together, At Mohonk a very large part of the Indian legislation ns divected to the gon- eral policy of the government has origi- nated and from this conference has annually gone out an interest in the Indiun which hus given tone and dires- tion to newspaper, pulpit and congres- sional discussion and materially effected the welfare of the 275,000 red men of America. The people of the west make a mis take in supposing the Mohonk confer ence is an aggregation of Indian cranks, T » few assemblages of 200 people in this country in which so many emi- nent people participate. Last year in the list of the members uf the confer- such well known names as Senator Dawes, Dr. McCosh, Andrew D, White, Edward Everett Hale, Rev.

Their good oninion is worth deserving, and it would be a fortunate thing indeed if more western people could become of the conference. At all events it will pay western sentiment to ¢ into touch with Mohonk and ivo to assist in the efforts it inaugurates for the settle- moent in some practical manner of the vexed question, PERVERTING THE MEDICAL LAW, When vhe new medical law was befol the logislature it was supposed its first purpose would be to protect the public from ignorance, charlatanism and quack- ery in the practice of medicine. No- body in or out of the legislature had the romotest idea that any ph an or sot would under the forms of law be permitted to blackwash others for whom they might entertain a per- sonal dislike or with whom they were in professional rivalry. The board members me to st of physicians published procecdings of the afford ample proof that the ma- chinery of the law is being perverted for and unjustifiable ends, Instead of conducting the investigation the of physicians aguinst whom protests had been filed impartially and speedily, and giv- ing and ir hearing to the cited on both the staries appear to u «ckless disrogard of ju tico and common decency. They admit evidence tending to de the doctors certificates bave been held up and permit aceusing witnesses, who in most instances are reported to be hired spies, touse language which would not be tolerated in any court of justice and deliberately shut out rebuttal testi- mony tending to disprove the accusations of unprofessional and dishonorable duet. But what is unprofessional conduct? According to the secretaries who lay great stress on the medical code, a skilied physician who patronizes the nowspapers and pays for his advertising is guilty of unprofessional conduet and not entitled to practice medicine or surgery in Nebraska. This is simply a perversion of the law. There is scarcely a physician in the stato who doos not violate this partof the code when- ever he can get his name before the public in connection with a successful surgieal operation or extraordinary cure, always providing that it is inserted *in the papers free of cost. Now THE BEE has no sympathy with quacks and medical imposters, but it protest in behalf of fair play und against a perversion of the letter and spirit of the law. No coterie of doctors should be permitted to wilfully and maliciously exclude from the practice of medicine any man who possesses the qualifica- tions of a physician or surgeon under the flimsy pretext that he is guilty of unprofessional conduct solely becuuse ho has seen fit to advertise his professional skill. Fortunately the secretaries are not su- preme. The governor, attorney general and wte superintendent of public in- struction compose the Board of Health and the secretaries can do nothing more than hear testimony and report recom- mendations to the board for final action. It is to be hoped that the state officers will not permit the medical secretaries to pervert the law merely to satisfy indi- vidual malice or professional jealousy. MUNICIPAL MISGOVER. There is no subject that can have greater interest for the citizon than that which relates to the administration of muanicipal affairs. The methods of gov- ernment in a city affect more largely and intimately the welfare of all classes of the people resident thevein than does the administration of state or of national affaivs. A misgoverned city eannot have material progress and prospevity. It will be avoided by capital and popu- lation will not go to it. Whatover its natural advantages, u city will not se- cure the full benoits they should bring if it have not a wise, honestand prudent administration of affaivs. Those may bo familiar trueisms, but they cannot b 100 often ropeated, for theve is a far too common disposition to forgot or disre- gard them by men who are entrusted with the administration of municipal af- fairs. President Eliot of Harvard presents in the October Forn what he entitles “One Remedy for Municipal Misgovern- ment.” Mr. Eliot does not attach any value to the assumption that the evils which exist are due to inherent vicious- ness and recklessness of the urban popu- lation, nor to the view that the people who have just come are the source of all municipal woes, He sees no good rea- that American encios, largo or small, are dishonest or corrupt at heart, although they some- times ehoose dishonest or corrupt agents. He also rejects the theory that the im- migration of a fow millions of foreigners within thirty years is the true cause of municipal evils in the United Stutes, “although the too quick admission to suffrage of men who have nad no ac- quaintunce with froe institutions has doubtless incrensed the evils of ciiy gov- ernment in a few localitie He thinks the great majority of the immigrants have been serviceable people, and of late years many of them have had a better education than the average rural American can obtain, he failures of the democratic form of government have occurred chiefly in those matters of municipal administry- tion which present many noveltios and belong to the domain of applied science These include the levying of taxes the management of water sup- plies and drainage systems; the paving, - lighting and cleaning of highways; the control of companies which sell in city str power, transportation for persons, and communication by electricity; the care of the public health, and the provision of proper means of public enjoyment, such a8 open squares, gardens and parks, In the opinion of President Eliot the mon- rehical and avistocratic governments of base uses into qualifications prompt witnesses sides, sec) me whose con- son to believe constitu- ts light, heat, | STOBER 4 Burope have grappled ern municipal problems succossfully ¢ our bapecially s matter of with mod much more demoeratic government, this th parks and gard the populace, a subject which Mr. Eliot remarks connected with the public health, =#0One would infer from democratic practice sidont of Harvard, “‘thay iv democratic theory public parks and gardens were made for the rich or the f{dle, whereas they noeded bysthe laborers and The richer classes can vido their own enjoyments; they can to the country tho sea they please, It that need the open air purlor, the cit boulevard und the country park.” Mr. Eliot bolieves it no exaggeration to say that good municipal administration has now become absolutely impossible with out the employment, on permanent ten- ures, of a large number of highly trained and highly paid experts in various arts and scionces rectors of the chief city departments, and that the whole question of municipal reform is covered by the in- quiry, How e as to secure the services of these experts true in Y snys the pr most poor. pro- /s In the opinion of President Lliot, for a cure of the evils which now attend demo- of the onsequence that the methods of cratic utmost vernment in cities it is municipal serviee should be assimi- lated to the methods of tho private and corporato services which vequire intelligence, high ing and experience. doctrine of rotation in office when pliea to functions that require scientific knowledge Mr, Eliot regards as simply silly. “Bofore municipal government can be sot right in the United States,” s in conclusion, ‘*‘municipal vice must be made a life career for telligent and self-respecting young Am ns.” gront The ap- long he su ser- THE HIGH SCHOOL QUESTION The attorney for the Board of Eduga- tion not being 1 high school case it Octobor 9. torney for the board is not so heav, to afford a good excuse for the heaving upon this ject. continued until of the title of tho city to Capi gettled beyond controversy. for the central school or an inated.

THE KINDERGARTEN MOVEMENT. Among all who intelli- gent thought to the subject of educ the kindergarten is just now oceu mostatten A wave of interest in the Froebilian idea of sooms to have swept from Boston to Sun or to speak rately, from hoth these cities to Omaha. When the daughter of the great Agassiz used hor husband’s ample fortune to begin kindergarten work in Boston the philanthropy and culture of that great city was skeptical. She persisted in her noble charity, however, and established model kindergartens in various pavts of the city and citizons were invited to inspect the work. In a compara- tively short time Boston was cap- tured by the ide and forthwith the people demanded free kindergartens a part of the public school system. In San Francisco Mrs, Senator Stanford, Mvs, Crocker, Mrs, Hearst and other wealthy ladies became interested in the subject, and as a consequence something like thirty frec kindergartens supported by their contributions are to be found among the poor of the Golden Gato City, Kindergarten associations have been formed in nearly all the principal cities ol the country. There is a strong defi- nite purpose among the best informed people of this country to add the kinde garten to the public school where pos- sible. Where legal or technical obstacles avise in the way of mak- ing it a part of the public system of education, the benevolence of the people will bo appealed to. Chicago and St. Louis have followed the example of Boston and made kinder- gartens a part of their school systems, and movements to that end have been undertaken all over the country. Colorado has a state kind arton ociation, and Denvec has a free kin- rten maintained by privato sub- scription. So satisfactory has been the work of the free kindergarten in Den- ver that the Bricklayers’ union of that city pledged its support, nearly every member individually volunteering to de- vote one day’s wages or contribute $5 to its maintenance. In St. Paal one free kindergarten is maintained by private contributions. One is likewise kept up in Los Angeles. In Omaha there is a strong sentiment for free kindergartons Theve are three or four private schools and in one of the mission enterprises an effort is being made to give the children of the poor tho benefit of this character of mental, moral and physical training. All that is needed here to arouse an enthusiasm for kindergarten instruction is to focal- ize the existing sentiment. With this in view several persons inter- erted met lust week at the residence of Rev. Dr. Duryea and took the firat step toward organizing an associa- tion for Omaha. The committee to whom the details for n more formal meeting was referved will call together a number of those known to be interested in the subject within a few daysand formulate a plan of organization. The primary purpose of an association is to encourage the establishment of kinder- gartens, [t will undertako to maintain one free school the poor and make of it a model from which the pub- lic generally will be able to form an idea of the utility of a complete system as o part of the public school work of Omaha. persons give fon primary insteaction Irancisco, rather, accu- among Tue sentiment in England in favor of abolishing the house of lords is undoubt- ediy growing, and the reference made to the subject by Mr. Gladstone in his ad- dress before the liberal congress at Neweastle, must be regarded gnifi- cant. Itisa question which he might have been expected to avoid, and the fact that he vreferred to it is the bost possible evidence of the growth of popular feeling hostile to the wupper branch of parlia- ment. Mr. Gladstone did not indicate that he sympathizes with this feeling. His remarks were not in the natuve of an attack upon the lovds, but rather of warning. Ho was willing that the sub- jeet of the abolition of the peers should continue subordinate to other questions as s of more urgent importance provided the extra lease thus gained wero gained by the wisdowm, forbearance and moderation of the lords in dealing with public sentiment, but he warned that body that the question of its uboli- tion might become a burning question it should attempt to defeat the popular will as determined by the next general election.
