THANKSGIVING day is a holiday on which the poor of the city are and al- ways should be remembered. WreTHeER Omaha wins the republican national convention or otherwise, she has made & good effort to secure it. THtE Denver mining congress doclares for a 4124 grain silver dollar, which is a long step toward honest money from the iree coinage standpoint. FINLAND has undertaken the impossi- ble. The authorities of the capital of that cold region are endeavoring te sup- presg the Salvation army. NO SEAT, no fare” is the war cry on some of the crowded street car lines in Chicago. Such a sentiment in Omaha would paralyze the car companics about 6 p. m every day. A CHICAGO man claims to bave dis- covered Dr. Keeley’s wonderful secret for the cure of aleoholism. He thinks it is strychnine. Similia, similibus cu anter—poison eradicates poison, OmanmA has captured Washington city completely If the citizens of the capital had 1t in their power they would give Omaha the convention and throw in the Washington monument as evi- dence of good will BRAZIL continues to sce-saw before the public. All information via London represents the republic in the throes of early dissolution. That from the seat of government indicates that da Fonseca knows what he is about. LONDON capitalists will pick up Omaha bonds very gleefully. Omaha pays her dobts, and London capitaiists, after considernble experience in losing tnvestments, are on the lookout for just wuch bonds as Omahu issuos. A CAR famine is delaying the market- fng of the whent crop of South Dakota. There is consolation in the thought, however, that the situation is far more satisfactory than when the famine is on the furms instead of the railroads, PERHAPS it will be as well to remem- ber before we all get too much wrought up over the question of parks that the lands will not be purchased until after the bonds are sold, and the bonds will not be offered or issued until after Janu- ary 1. THE best way to settle the question of the south park is to advertise for off of tracts of land in that section of the city. Having but $68,000 to expend there, the commissioners and people will expect it to bo most judiciously ex- pended. ONLY two of the four rooms in the Hitckeoek school building are needed for the prosent, which further expose the folly which led to the erection of a 6,000 four-room wooden structure, and would indulge in the additional extrava- gance of u $1,200 fancy heating plant, IMMIGRATION COMMISSIONER SCHUL- TEIS, who made the trip from Liverpool to New York in the guise of an assistod pauper immigrant, performed a font which will make him sure of an engage- ment on a good New York newspaper whether the government approciates his services or not. NGLISH tenant farmers, for the first time in their recollection, have aroused the interest of both the conseryative and liberal parties in th condition, As a result the leaders on both sides are bid- ding for their support. There is u com- paratively bright future before the lish farmer just now. E———————— ACCORDING to the verdiot at the pre- liminary trial four ordinarily inoffensive and respectable young men are solely rosponsible for the lynching of Smith tho negro ravisher. Those four young men overpowered the city police force, the sheriff and all-his depaties and deagged the black man to death in the presenco of perhaps 10,000 law abiding people! ‘What nonseuse! THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: SUNDAY, A TRAVESTY OF JUSTICE, Twenty-five men wore arrested imme- diately after the lynching of the negro, October 9. Thove wns a velous show of nerve on the part of the prosecuting attorney, for which he re coived due credit. Tho law was vindieated and lynching boes were to ba made unpopular and dan I'he arrests were in some p cu- ilar, because men who were generall supne Siith, mare d to have been foremost in the devilish work of that dreadful night in Qctober not disturbed, while a numbar of mere spactators wero drawn before the poiice court and placed under bonds for their appearanc The effort to ndicate justice was purely pyrotechnical, howaover, ns the results have demonstrated. Prominent ward heelers are sald to have told intimate friends in advance of the hearing hefore the magistrato that they would be discharged. Whether such statements were made or not th facts are that nota single participant of prominence, or alocal ward rustler " held to the distriet court. Of the twenty-five men arrested originally only fonr were held to appear. These wore young fellows drawn into the trouble by circumstances, whom the police and authorities appear to have solected as scapogoats for the offenses of a mob of thousands of people. There were not less than 300 men diroctly engaged in the crime of hanging that negro. Yet the processes of the courts have thus far fastened the guilt upon but four. Can it be possible that these four boys baftled the efforts of the sheriff hnd all his deputies, the ninety policemen, the fire department, Judge Doane, Governor Boyd and Mayor Cushing? Why is it that the politicians and ward heelers were all discharged? Why have the sheriff and police force escape consurc? Why did the police officers single out these four young men as scapegoats? Why has no of- ficinl investization taken place? Why aid ~ the assistant coroner and the coroner’s jury bring in a ver dict that the poor negro came to his death by fright? Why a prominent local politician who was clearly aud positively identified as a participant discharged? The young German, Noushaffer, was without friends and it was safe there- fore to hold him to the district court. One of the other young fellows picked up three or four policemen by the napes of the neck and seats of the trousers and trundled them out of the way on the night of the lynching. He had to suffer of course. The other two young men were more prominent and noisy than circumstances warranted, but they are not built as scarecrows or demons and would hardly frighten a baby to death. The fact is the whole preliminary trial was a favce. It looks very much as if it was mtended atthe beginning to be a farce. The public will not approve of any judicial procedure which shall make four men pay the penalty of im- prudence in heing caught, for an awful crime in which hundreds were engaged and in which there wera no disguises or masks worn, were NIVERSITY EXTENSIOY. The time will come, and it ought no to be very far off, when Omaha will take a serious interest in the subject of uni versity extension. This plan of supply- ing people with an opportunity to ob- tain many ot the advantages of & univer- sity education without attending a uni- versity is making steady progress, hav in its course westward reached Chi- cugo, whose educational institutions are taking o most earnest interest in it. It is a comparatively new movement in the United States, but the fact that for some years the value of the plan has been most fully und satisfactorily demon- strated in England permits of no ques- tion that it can be made equally success- ful here, Confidence in it is also justi- fied by the success that has attended its application in the east, where the results have met the highest expec tations of the promoters of the plan. One of the most zealous friends in this country of university extension is Prof. Thompson, of the University of Pennsylvania. He advocates it on the ground that in a democratic community, where society makes the largest demands on the intelligence of the whole body of the people, nothing short of the higher education will make it possible for them to meot that demand. Uni- versal suffrage, remarks Professor Thompson, does not find 1ts educational complement in the spelling book. Soci- oty has grown far too complex for that. It needs tho enlightening, sobering, steadying influence of advanced study to fit men for the common duties of modern citizenship. It is the opinion of the same high authority that there is no reason why the whole body of owr people should not be educated to a point far beyond the possibilities of our common school system, The workingman wust use his leisure to better purpose if he is to hold the place his class used to hold. The near future may see n groat in- crense in that leisure. University ex- tension is none too soon to reach and use this leisure to the best ends. In every town and city there are men and women who can be interested in a course of stady of one kind or another. To these university extension offers an opportunity for intelloctual culture not otherwise to be secured. It will en- able those people, the number of whom is large, who feel the need of being brought more closely in touch with the best thought of the day to gratify their desire in this respoct without interfor- ing with their practical duties and rela- tions Such peoble, it muy be said, got the knowledge they want from road- ing, but not in the same satisfactory way that they could if they derived it under the direction of a competent in- steuctor and by pursuing a well-defined wethod of reading. Between the plan of study which university extension pro- vides and independent effort there is the difference, in most cases, between system and the lack of it, between regulated work and that done at haphazard. On the side of university extension are the advantages that come from method and from wisely directed energy, neces- surily leading to aud producing fuller ‘ information and mord accurate knowl- edge This plan opens the way to a highor edueation “for the thousands of men and women who have been unable to carry their culture beyond tho ine obtained in the public number of such in every and many of them would the opportunity intellectual training if do without having to abandon the pursuits necos- sary to u livelihood. For a great army of such persons the university extension aing the promise of im- measurable beneflts, 1t is important, also, in the effect it will have in stim- ulating the popular desire for advanced culture. It is not tobe doubted that this is needed. There isa large number of people who do not use the opportu- nities they have for intellectual improve- ment, and who need to be stirred up to their duty in this vespect. Upon many such persons the introduction of university extension would exert a wholesomo influcnce. Associations are being formed in some of the eastern cities, composed largely of persons in terosted in educational progress, for the purpose of promoting university exten- sion in their communities. The exam- ple is worthy of consideration by the friends of education here, since thero is no reason why Omaha may not have the advantages and benefits of university extension. young struction to be Th city is larg grasp higher they could 0 schools, to attain movement ot RECIPROCIZY AT HOME, Local patriotism is ag necessary to the strengtn and permanent prosperity of a community as ‘national patriotism. patriotism is immediately profit- able, while love for the country at largo may be purely sentimental and indi- vidually expensive, The American who will not defend America and support her institutions does not deserve the name. The Omaha man who permits his city to be misrepresented without rebuking tho slanderer is unworthy of citizenship in this city. A smuggler not only violates the revenue Jaw, but also discredits his government and gives oid to her enemies. He does more; he injures his neighbor who obeys the law and whose profits are stolen by the law-breaker. The tariff which the Omaha manufac- turer must pay is the freight rate on the raw materiai. The competition he contends with is the advantage which the eastern manufacturer enjoys in the purchaso of that raw material. The Omaha merchant who gets an inside rate which enables him to undersell an Omaha manufacturer and to place east- orn goods where Omaha has hitherto furnished the supply is no better than a smuggler. He violates the law, dis- credits his own city and robs his fellow- man upon whose prosperity the ecity at large in small or great measure must rost. It is too much to ask goods shall be purchased because they are made here, though it is a proper principle. It is not asking too much, however, to in- sist that where all conditions are equal the Omaha manufacturer shall be given the preforence. In fact tho woll-being of the city requives this at tho hands of her citizens. The people are thoroughly aroussd to the importance of practicing as weil as preaching the doctrine of home against the world. The public officers seom not to have partaken of the enthusinsm, and profer the work of outsiders to that of men who empioy labor and pay wagzes at home. We want this doctrine carried into official as well as private life. The great corporations with iarge interests in Omaha have come forward most commendably to the heip of local manufacturers, local dealers and local interests. The city and county govern- ments and the Board of Education are lagging behind and awarding furniture and other contracls to eastern firms, The !peopls of Omaha can make it de- cidedly unpopular for firms, politicians and individuals to neglect homs indus- tries. The ladies can make it unfash- jonablo to go abroad to do their shop- ping or to buy eastern.made household goods, when just as good qualities and prices may be obtajned in Omaha. that Omaha merely ORGANIZED CHARITIES. The best: evidence that the world is growing better is found in the fact that almost everybody who is making his own living is intere or another in some sort of charitable organization The national, state, county and muni pul governments collect and expend millions annually for the benefit of those either by nature or circumstances unfortunate. The nineteenth century, conspicuous us it is in every other par- ticular, stands higher than any of its predecessors in the matter of doing good to those who need sympathy stantial aid. The man or woman 1n tnis day who has 10 bowels of compassion for the world’s poor, afilicted and needy rare and despicable, Omaha is abreast with the century in the matter of charvities and charitable organizations, Her people open their hearts and theie purses to God's poor with true dental generosity, We have hospitals, industrial schools, homes for women and childeen, and homes of vefuge for all who are in distress, sup- ported by private subscriptions in addi- tion to kopt up by public funds, The one thing most needed to give offi- cacy to the good works of our people is judicious organization. A clearing house for the charities 1s as essent o proper distribution of benevolences as it is in banking and commercial cles. This central clearing house, as it may be called, should have such relations with all the associations, homes and other provisions for the com- | fort of the needy as would enable it to distribute food, clothing and funds where most needed and provent imposition from conscienceless beggurseand lazy frauds. A movement is now under way for the establishment of a charity union which | shall perform just this duty toward the publie. It should be encouraged by our people in all the churches and in all the orgunizations for good works. A dele- gate mecting on behalf of the union would be a practical wuy of reaching definite results and is recommended.

To prevent thisa vigid system of inspection huas been adopted by this country and vo- strictive laws have been enacted. In spite of these, however, the stenmship companies and societios abroad have managed to force through our custom houses by fair means and foul many persons of the class against whoin this prohibitory legislation has been divected. Within a fow days one of the special commissioners sent abroad to investi- gate emigration methods in Europe has turned the electric light upon the busi- ness of assisting undesirable classes to resou ronch America, which is likely to vesult in further legislation to correct the cry ing evil of which this country has the right to complain. With great shrewd- ness and in various disguises Commis- sioner Schulteis has made personal investigations and inquir in sev- eral Buropenn lands which had to the inevitabie conclusion that steamship companies and alleged henevolent or- ganizations, with at leass the tacit con- sent of the governments, are carrying on a systematic scheme of shipping pau- pers, criminals and diseased persons to Amorica. The commissioner is a linguist, and in Holland, Ttaly and England he pursued his inquiries with romarkable shrewd- nes: Finally he succeeded in secur- ing assistance for himself asa pauver immigrant and actually made the trip from Liverpool to New York as a steer- age passenger aboard the Servia. His observations have been reported to the socrotary of the treasury, and will eventuaily be made public in all proba- bility. With characteristic enterprise the New York Herald has published a narrative of his oxperiences which ought to bring about a reform aboard the transatlantic steamers in their mothods of treating steerage passengers, as well as awaken the Castle Garden officials to the necessity of a far more rigid inspection of arriving passengers. The efforts of gther officials and even of a follow commissioner to discredit the report of Mr. Schulteis will hardly af- fect the value of the information he has gathered in thé pyblic mind, for he was fortunately discovered by a New York Herald correspondent aboard the ship and his story is capable of corroboration in many important particulars. It bears upon its face the evidence of truthfulness and warrants at least most caveful con- sideration on the.part of the authorities and should lead to further inquiry at the hands of relinble detectives, who shall foliow a similar course of investigation in the same and other countries and upon other steamships. 08 THE ART HIBIT. ‘The art exhibit of the Western Art association will continue for two weeks longer. Itisa most creditable enter- prise and is entitled to a warm support from all classes of our citizens, not only npon its merits but because of the good use to which the profits, if any, are to be devoted. As has been stated before, the art association has established here a college of art and the proceeds of this oxhibit are to be devoted to the school. It is 1 commondable purpose and the art association should not be allowed to fail in its effort to help on a good cause. The exhibit will be open today for the benofit of the laboring elasses espocially, who are deprived by their exacting du- ties of;the privilefe of visiting the I position hall during week days. Omaha cannot afford to allow the art associntion to carry the entire burden of the good work it has attempted in this eity, Our citizons should turn from com- mercinl matters oecasionally to those affecting more directly the social con- ditions under which we ave to live and in which our children are to develop. There is always too much tendency to confine our thoughts here in the west to the development of material resources. Wo nead a brouder culture, and should lend a hand where possible to those ef- forts which make for the intellectual and moral improvement of the com- munity, The nucleus is here for a growth in art which deserves the foster- ing care of the almighty dollur and the owners of that dollar, Let man, woman and child of sufficient give 1o the art exhibit the substantinl recog- nition of at least one 2 admission, ever -cont Tuere could probibly be no better time for the meating of a pence congress than when Furope isarmed to the teeth and ready upor the least provocation to plunge into waws: The international pence congress at’ Rome, the poars to be cridéntly opportune, but how much real benefit it will accomplish cannot sofely * predicted.
