The only busis cited for this belief th Omaha has inere in | wickedness is the Sunday theater and Sunday base ball game. Coming from sourco so well known, however, the | statement deserves more than o general denfal. What is the truth? In 1881 Omaha 1 a population of 33,000, Dives and low dens flour- ished and the social evil was rampant, A respectable woman could scarcely walk the streets cast of Twel{th stroot unmolested. Gambling dens wore numerous,and open day and night. Suloons weve never closed day ov night, week days or Sunday. Ilection day was a golden harvest to bav keape There were 124 saloons and but twenty- eight churches. With few vxceptions Christinn cong wtions were struggling iinst sorious financial ments, The newspapors were filled with veports of blooay frays and benstly scandals from the slums. Low dance houses, and for crooks and footpads wove very common. Old citiz have not forgotten the Buckingham and the Gold Dust estab- lishments. These low v theaters were in full blast nightly and on Sund It is true that several theiters give Sunday entertainments and that in the scason base ball games are played on that day. This is not an evidence of in- creasing wickedness, but of increased populagon and metropolitanism. It does nov show that the churches are neglected or the young people hecoming demoralized, Tt is merety evidence that the number of people desirous of patron- izing Sunday entertainments has in- creased, The proportion of patrons has not been enlurged. The city has simply grown and where there were but 500 persons in 1881 who regarded Sund amusements with favor 1,500 or perhaps 2,000, The actual figures show the truth of these conclusions. We now have more than one hundred places of worship, In 1881 thore were five small Method egations in Omaba: in 1801 there , and nearly all strong and The former year but three Presbyterian pastors were employed in the entire city; today there are eighteen churches maintained by that denomina- tion. Then the most of the Catholic people worshiped in St. Philomena’s, though there were three other small chapels; now there are nine strong church It is so with nearly all the other leading denominations. 'The Con- gregationalists have grown from one church to a dozen and the Baptists from three to fourteen, that the material religious growth has greatly outstripped that of the population and commerce of Omaha. With a popuiation of 35,000 in 1851 the number of liquor dealers in Omaha was 124, or one to every 200 inhabitants, In 1891 there were 252 licensed liquor dealers and the population was 140,000, or one saloon to inhabitants. The number today is considerably less than during last year. In 1831 the gambling hells were undisturbed so long as they paid regular fines into the city troasury. Poday there is not an open gambling den inthecity. Gambling may still be carried on, but the gamblers are obliged to conduct their business Lehind doubly barred doors, and nobody now falls into the temptation to patronize faro or other gambling devices, because he must be an expert knownto his pals in orde to secure the opportunity. The statisties of the penitentiary for 1881 are not at hand, but in 1885 thers were thirty conviets sent to Lincoln from Douglas county, or one for every 2,000 people in Omaha. In 1800, with South Omaha added to increass the number and a largo additional popula- tion in the county, there wore forty-three sentenced from the county. Assuming for avgument’s sake that these all learned and committed their crimes in Omaha. the vatio is only 1 in ¢ In 1881 the Young Men’s Chel sociation was a small affair. Today it is one of thestrongest organizations of tho kind in the country. Then we had no hospital except St. Joseph’s, and no other charitable institutions of any con- sequence saving the City Mission and some benovoient societies, Now have five Protestant hospitals and St Joseph’s has bsen enlarged nnd im- proved. The devolopment of lib: literary and other associations for intel- lectualsimprovement has basn also re- markable. The public schools have in- cronsed in number and efficiency, In 1881 there were but 12 schools and 57 teachers. In 1801 theve woro 31 schools and 276 teachers. Several colleges, som- inaries and pavochial schools have been addedin the last ten yoars. The whole moral tove of the city has been elevated, and, in spite of the reputation which some people seek to establish to the con- trary, Omaha is today as ordevly, as moral, as intellectuul and as careful of her good name as any ity of her popu- lation in the west, orin the worla if al- lowance be made for her youth and rapid growth from u village to a motropolis. it can do the cause of veligion no good to say that praying and vreaching in Omaha for ten years hins mudo no head- way against the devil, Tt do tho city and her citizens n great deal of harm, We regret oxceodl that any clergyman should give utterance to sen timents so much at variance with the ! ucts estublished by the v d and by common observation, sonal azed embarrass wine rooms resorts 2ns there are now showing 535 woe can IHE GREAT AMERICAN DESERT Twenty-live yoars ago all the ard maps located the g (] desort oxteuding from the 100th meri- Aian to the summit of the slereas.

Even ns lateas 1876 servative | rded the enterpr of pioneer farmers, who had pushed into Buffalo county, as unwise. Today Kearney, the capital of Buffalo county, is by all odds the most and metropolitan. city in state outside of Omaha, Buffalo county has a population of 22,000 and the city numbers 10,000 souls, By her own ef- forts Kearnoy has constructed an i ficial eanal and waterfall which not only supplios the city with water but fur nishes power to operate extensive tovies, for electric lights, for stroet cars and for many iess important purposes. The same canal fills boautiful lakes and beautifies tho parks and lawns of the city. She has made her name famous throughout the union by the application of electric power to the industries and commerce of her people. A year ago when the cry tion came up from so large the state, Kearney was a marve littlo metropolis in the midst of misery. Her citizens, undaunted by tha failure which attended the labors of her farmers, confident in the undeveloped resources of the land surrounding the city and in the promise which her enter- prise held out for factories and other extensive industeios, went on building beautiful homes and inviting capitalists and working people to hor midst. The loyalty of those people has besn vindi- cated. A single crop has lifted the farmers from destitution to plent During the month of Dacomboe thivt three farm mortgages filed in Buffalo county, representing an indebt- edness of $#30,719 and during the same thirty days fifty-one morigages for #188,237 were taken off the record of incumbrances. Since June 1, whon the crop of 1891 was assured, the firmers of this same county puid off $205,177.43 of their mortgage indebtedness. That is, the releases exceed the new mortgages Dys this handsome sum. This is what ebraska farmers are accomplishing within fifty miles of the old deadTine of the 100th meridian. This is the way we have been crowding the great, American desert back toward the Sierra Nevada —— ANOTHER DELAY. The expectation that the Baring sea controversy would soon be submitted to arbitration, ed upon the assurance that nothing remained to be done but the appointment of arbitrators, has been disappointed by the demand of Lord Salisbury for a further modifieation of the agreement reached lust November. The nature of these demands has not been made public, and they probuably re- late to minompoints upon which it will nov be diflicult for the two governments to agree, but none the less the action of the British premier is embarrassing and irritating. The natural inference is that it is in pursuance of the policy of de which has characterized Lord Salis- bury’s zonduct thronghout the neeot vious, in total disregard of the resultant loss to the United States. He delayed the agreement for a closed season last year until the Canadian pouchers were onabled to take enough seal to reimbur: them the cost of fitting out and prob- ably something more, for it has been estimated that 60,000 seal were taken, and while it is not easy to believe that the British prime minister would play into the hands of a lot of seal- ers whose business is havdly better than piracy, his present course suggests that he is not unwilling to do so. "The sealing season opens next May, and the tima until then would probabl all be taken up in settling the questions in controversy were arbitration entered upon at once. Delay will bs an invita- tion to the poachers to get ready for another invasion of the waters in dis- pute, and they may be expected to do thig if the season arrives without a set- tlement, unless our government takes oxtraordinavy precautions at great cost to keep them out, It is not surprising to learn that the patience of the Was ington government is severely taxed this wholly unlooked for action part of Lord Salisbury, and that there is n disposition to vegard his new demands us boing insincere. They will of course be given fair and temperate considera- tion, but it is intimated that meuns wiil not be wanting, when required, to com- pel a move prompt consideration of the questions at issuo on the part of Lord Salisbury. steor, Crosses was most con- plo vog out pro- the grossive of destitu a section of wore MORAL HAZARD IN INSURANCE. Moral hazard in five insurance is an unknown and peactically unknowable element in determinin, risks.

It appears that the number of enildren in the state of school age, that is, between 5 and 21 years, in 1891 was 1,821,77 The num- ber attending the common schools in the same year was 1,054,044, More than 767,000 children of school age, there- ve either not in school at ail or ved instruction elsewhere than at the public schools. The proportion of public school children in 1801 conse- quently was about 57 per cent of the total number of ool age. The gov- ernor states that in 1851, 40 years ago, 75 aper cent of the entive school po ulation attended the public schools. During those forty ) the state has done much to improve and strengthon its common schools, 1o increase their efficiency and to compel attendance, yot during all that time there b been n dy decroaso of attendance in pro- portion to the school populition, and noavly 20 per cont fewer childven, pro- poriionately, attend the public schools now than attended them 40 years ago. Governor Flower well s that such facts are stavtlingly sugeestive. If true, they mean retrograding influence, and he urges that the state cannot afforl to permit thousandsof its children to grow upin ignorauce, only to increase that population which crowds the jails, the rveformthios and the poor houses, and menace. haintegrity of ouv public s vice and our institutions with the waa- pon of an unintelligent ballot. New York’s experiende in this respect is not optional. Lor statos can show o record of decline in public sehool att end- anc vy as great as that in New Yor The serious question suggoested is whether the schools of the people are really retrograding in influence. ov is thera some insidious power at work to atteact children away from them? Un- doubtedly in the older communities the private schools will account for n great many children who do not attend the public schools, There are parents who prefoc the formar, if for no other reason than that their children may avoid pro- miscuous association. But only a small minority of the childven not registored in the public schools are to be accounted forin this way, and it is to be appre- hended that a much greater number, in most communities, ave to be found re- ceiving no schooling whatever—the childven from whose ranks ave recruited the population which crowds the jails, the reformntories and the poor houses. This condition of 1irs is undoubtediy less prevalent in the west than in the east. The public school retains its influence much better in the former than in the intter section, for one reason because it meets with loss competition from the private sehool, which can prosper only in old and wealthy communities, where caste and distinetions have been fiemly established. Another reason that in the newer communities there a livelier patriotism which embraces the public school as one of the chief sufe- guards of vepublican institutions. - But even in some of the states of the west the tendency to retrogression is. beginning to be marked, and in a number of the larger western cities the ratio of public school attenlunce to the number of chil- dven of school age is not large ns it was ten years ago. Among the for the condition noted, of course the growing demand from year to year upon the children in the task of socuring subsistence for the family is not to be lost sight of. It would not be ousy to exageerate the import of this muatter. ‘T'he mere suggestion that ths publie schools any- where in this counfry -are. declinig in popular favor and influence is ealculated to have a disquicting effect upon those who regard the common school system as one of the bulivarks of the republic, but when it is statgd that an ono com- monwealth, whera : generous provision has been made for the public schools, 43 per cent of the children of school uge do not attend those schools, and it is known that this conditionof affaivs moro widely exists, iL presenls a subject for the serious nttention of every eitizen. RS — WOMAN AND RHE WORLIVS FAIR The that cordod to woman in connection with the prevarations for the World’s fair will not be the least Interesting feature of that great entorprise to visiting foreign+ ars of all counteies, It promises also ta be a sourca of pride to the American people.

[t has opened now avenues to her efforts. It has given her a broader horizon and a wider out- look. *““Women who have apparently hitherto known nothing of lifo but the delights of the promenade, the budinage of the salon, the luxury of the boudoir, or the dolee far niente of the seaside loiterings, have sprung forth like Minerva from the brain of Jove full panoplied for the work. They huve met their less fortunate sisters on the common ground of a common purpose, and the women of South Carolina, Ar- kansas, Mussachusetts and Californin have blished an accord of pathies which must ba invaluable in the unification of our people.” Making due allowance for some excess of enthusinsm on the part of the president of the Col- umbian Exposition commission, for ho uttered the above quoted vemarks at a public dinner, there is nevertheless abundant reason to belic t the American people will have no to regret that women have boen permitted to take an active and prominent part in the wonk of prepavation for the World’s fair, while an example it can hardly fail to exert an in- fluence favorable to the elovation of women throughout the enlightened world. This republic has done more than all the other nations of the carth to develop a strong, courageous, self- reliant womanhood, and in the day of peril it found the value of such o woman- hood. 1Itis eminently proper and just that in the day of peace, when we shall snow the achievements of republican in- stitutions, woman shall be ven her share in the honor and glory. Speaking has esty sym- cause ns Tie New York metropolitan museum of art has been opened on Sundays for about seven months, During these days 170,000 people have visited its ¢ leries. On the two weekday evenings when it was open during the same period only 45,000 persons entered. It is manifest that a large part of the popula- tion of New York ecan only find time to view this treasury of art on Sun- days and the action of the managers in opening the museum on that day dicated by experience. The experience of New York people will be a strong avgument for keeping the World's fair at Chicago open on 3 APE growing is one of the most profitable of industries in vhis section. In Pottawattamie county, Towa, a large number of vineyards are cultivated. The product is exceptionally fine in flavor and the yield per acre is remurk- able.
