In other words, he must take a broad-giuge view of the political field and endeavor with a sin- | glencss of purpose and without dive sion by side issues to right the wrongs | of our politicyl system, and achieve the reforms for which the embattled pro- ducers are striving. Waeshall presently see whether the conglomeration of di content which is about to be launched into the natio campaign as a new political party can be steered so as to keep in the middle of the road. Is the leadership of the people’s party capable of formulating a broad platform upon which thoe people, that is the farmer, artisan. laborer, merchant and professional man, can stand? Can they harmonize the conflicting elements that have come to Omaha to inaugurate the political millennium which will make all the people prosper- ous, happy and contented; which wiil do away with poverty and wealth, cancel the mortgages on every farm, raise the price of all tarm proJucts without rais- ing the cost of living to their chiof con- sumers, the workingmen, cheapen farm implements, furniture, clothing and overy article the farmer has tobuy with- out cutting down the wages of the me- chanic and laborer who is engaged in producing these commoditios? Will they rise to the magnitude of the task which Henry George and Edward Bellamy have laid out for them of running the government without money, abolishing land ownership, making all our farmers tenants and supplying all our wants in the cheapest markets of Lurope and Asia where wages range fron 5 to 40 cents a aay, even it we have to close every [factory and work shop, depopulate our cities and force thewr surplus population to migrate to other lands. Will they keep in the middle of the rond 50 us to prevent a violent and dis- astrous financial disturbance that would paraiyze commerce by the unsettling of values und prices, or will they seek to foist upon the country visionary schemes of bottomless financiering which would cinte tho purchasing power of our currency, rob the wage-worker of his seanty and flood the country dep savings with land currency which bankrupted the Argeatine Repubiic? Will they keep in the middle of the rond by demanding that congress and the states shall regulate and control pub- lic carriers, or will they saddle the new party with the contract to buy out all the railroads and increnso the army of fed- eral employes by 600,000 or 700,000 men? Will they keep in the middle of the road on cluss legislation or will they in- sist that the land owning classes shall be given the privilege of 2 par cont a yeur loans, while the landless class of laborers which constitutes more than half the population of the United States are remanded to the tender mercies of the pawnbrokers at 3 per cent a month? Will they keep in the middle of the voad by knocking out theisms advo- cated by wild-eyed cranks, who want to create national whisky shops and official bar tenders and bar maids, na- tional coal yards and other paternal under which the American citizen is to become an almner at the federal crib? Will they keep in the middle of the roud in treating two-thirds of the people of the United States who are afiliated with the old political purties with com- mon decency or will they class every- body that does not profess their creed as a minion of Wall street, a tool of monopoly, a scoundrel or an idiot? concerns ! MIGRATION, At the rocent meeting of the Confer- ence of Charities at Denver the subject of n general law regulating interstate migration was diseussed. A number of instances wero cited by members of the conference of the immigration into their states of paupers and others quiring public care, and- the general opinion was that there ought to be action by the federal government regu- lating the migration of persons in acon- dition to become a public charge. [t is undoubtedly a fact that many of the states, and especially those of the central west, sulfer materinlly from he ing to take care of large numbers of these classes of people coming from other states, principally, of course, from the east. This has been the experience of Minnesota, a delegate from which cited & number of cases to show that the oxperience of thestate had been a hard one in taking care of the indigent and insane who had come from other states A representative from Kansas suid that state had folt the importation of foreign children, homeless and orphaned, from boeyond the seas, and it is something of o burden totake care of them, in view of the fact that the state has about all it :an doto take care of its own needy children, Othor more or less trouble arising from the immigration of paupers and others who have to bo cared for by the public. A great many of these cases are from states that do not make adequate pro- vision for their care, finding it cheaper to send them adrift to y upon the public of sowme other state. One of the reports submitted to the conference said that the extradition of paupers, idiots and insane persons botween different states has led to many serious abuses and much noedless exvense, Kach county, city and town which is pro- vented by law from shifting the care of its own poor upon any other locality in the same state is strongly tempted to shift their cure upon the people of neighboring states. The great cities especially suffer from this cause, for the veuson that paupers are more apt to be sent Lo some great city, and the local authorities are very willing to comply in order to get rid of the expense of caring for them. The fact thut the in- terior states have been imposing pen- alties for bringing non-resident paupers into the state is evidence that this prac- tice provails. This matter unquestionably presents a states and oy roportod honse problem of no small importance and in- terest. It appears that for a quarter of | & contury Massachusetts has boen seek- “Koep in the | ing to bring about concurrent state legis lation 6n the subjoct, and while it has been successful in establishing an under- standing among some of the New Eng- in urging the horses inton gallop fn spite of the illf!u“ng(l men who wero trying to hold thalReads, while o hors were endeavoring to get at the occuj ants { g 1 land states, very little has boen accom- | | fifty constables prafont, but they cithe plished toward attaining what is to bo desired. Hence tha preponderance of opinion among those who have given this matter ecareful consideration is in favor of action by congress, the iden being a law creating an interstate mi- gration commission, which would be a tribunal before which the authorities of different states, and the themselves who are so frequently the subjects of arbitrary removal, may pro- sent the fadts of all disputed cases, while such a commission might also exerta great influonce in the several states to- wards unifying the laws relative to tho confinement of the insane and other matters properly coming within its pur- view. poor persons VINGS BANKS, Several bills for establishing postal savings banks have been presented in the senate during the ifty st and the prosent congress, all of which have been considered by tho committeo on postoflices and post rowds. Owing, it1s presumed, chiefly to the difliculty in arviving ata conclusion as to the de- tails of a system, no report on this sub- jeet has been mado to the senate, and itis hurdly probable thatone will be made at the present session. Yet sen- ators must know, as was stated by Senator Mitchell of Oregon in a speech in the senate a few days ago, that if there is any one subject on which there is more favorable unanimity of opinion among the great masses of the toiling millions of the land, especially those residing in the raral districts—in the small cities, towns and hamlets--it i3 that of postal savings banks. [For years congress has been asked by this class of the people to establish savings depositories in connection with the postoflices, and it is a matter of surprise that such a popular demand should have been so long disregarded. The question of establishing postal savings was first presonted by Postmaster General Crosswell during the first administration of President Grant. Since then nearly every post- master general has earnestly urged the propriety of creating such depositories, and none move abiy and forcibly than the present head of the postollice de- partment. in his threo annual reports Postmaster General Wanamker has advocated postal savings banks with a most convincing array of facts, figures and arguments. But theso earnest recommendations, supportad by the suc cessful exnerience with such banks in Great Britain and other countries of urope, have apparently failed to im- press congress with the importanco of this subject, or if its importance is real- ized it must be assumed that there are very potent influences at work in op- position to it. There can be no reazon- able question regarding the practicabil- ity of the plan, and as to the allegad lack of constitutional powor that objec- tion has few defenders whose opinions are worthy of serious consideration. The establishment of postal savings banksin uropean countries has been attended with remarkable success. The system was inaugur: first in Great Britain thirty-one years ago. and it has since neen adopted in one form or an other in France, Austria, Italy, Bol- gium, Russia, Swoden, Hungary, the Netherlands, Canada, and even Japan It has had a remarkable development in the United Kingdom. According to offi- cial figures there were from the year 1861, when the system was established, to the end of the year 1890, 113,000,000 devosits, amounting to $1,387,950,000, tho withdrawals during that period being less by $238,000,000 than the de- posits. At tvhe close of the last year there were iu the United Kingdom of Great Britain 10,000 separate postoftices having postal savings banks, and during the year 1890 over one-eighth of the whole population of that kingdom had accounts with thes, bank Note- worthy progress has been made in al other countries having the system, giv- ing irrefutable proof of the merits of this plan for encouraging thrift among the people. The class of peoplo the greatest benefit ment of postal savings banks are those living in rural communities and the small towns where there are no private banks, though a great many in the larger towns and eitios would doubtlos: avail themselves of the postal deposit- ories from a feeling of greater security. As wo have already observed, there is small probability of any action on this subject by congress at the present ses- sion, but there can be no doubt of the ultimate establishment of postal savings banks in the United States, banks who would derive from the establish- STANL STORMY CAMPAIGY. When Henry M, Staaley abandoned African exploration to enter linglish politics he probably did not apprehend that the latter would involve as much sucritico of personal comfort us the former, but he is facing mobs in North Lambeth, where he isconducting a cam- paign for pariiamentary honors, which seem to bo hardly less suvage than the wild men of the dark continent. To people accustomed to the orderly political gatherings of this country it will seem incredible that such a man as Mr. Stanley and such & woman as his wife, who accompanies him in his cam- paign work, should have been subjected 10 the abuse und even personal violence which they encountered the other day at & mecting in Lamboth. After Mr. Stanley had been compelled to abandon his effort to speak to the mob his wife took the platform, but the crowd jeered at her until she also retired in dismay. Then a fight was started near the platform and another at the rear of the hall, and the candidate and his wife started for tho door, their supporters fighting for & passage for them. Tho mob thon rushed out and swooped down upon Mr. Stanley’s carviage, The lady was hurriedly put inside, but before her husband could foilow her the mob seized him, and it was with great difficulty that he tore himself away and got into the carviage. One of the doors was thon wrenched off, but the driver succeeded of the carriage. M*S. Stanley became hysterical and scrogeficd repeatedly and the scono was in 8¥ery respect an exoit- ing one. It appeses that there were could not or would not protect the ob jects of the mob’s fury. Ono of the cries that went up this crowd of Englishelectors was, back to Ameriea!” "erh:l]n the candi- date’s American antepedents may have something to do \vivh‘;!hu ugly feeling against him, but his wife is an English- woman and this fact alone, even if Eng- lish political assomblies have no re spect eithor for manhood or woman- hood, ought to huve stood between hor and the violence of the moh. It is impossible to imagine a body of American citizens committing such an outrage as this. In this country there is freedom of spoech, tolerance of opin- ion and absolute protection of woman- hood under all conditions. But the linglish people do not cultivate tho amenities which prevail in America. The refining and humanizing influences of our better civilization have wrought a public sentimont which renders such cowardly and brutal exhibitions as that at Lambeth impossible heve. from 0 1 SOURCE PLEASUR® AND PROFIT, Landscape Avchitect Cleveland of Minneapolis, who has been employed by the park commissioners to prepare plans for Omaha’s park and boulevard system, says that the poople of Minneapolis have found that parks and boulevards greatly increaso the value of adjacent property. Thoe ek commissioners there woere flooded with petitions asking them to accept lands as free gifts for park and boulovard purposes. In one case a boulevard three miles long was donated and the property adjacent was taxed by request of the owners them- selves for its improvement. 1t has been the experience of evory city where public parks and houlevards have been establishod that thoy are of t benefit in adding to the attractive- ness, and therefore to the value of lands lying near them near to thoir ap- proaches. Whatever adds to the beauty of the city increases the mavket valuo of property, and thus contributes to the wealth: of the community, The im- provement of all public grounds, and in particular the school grounds, may bo made a dir:ct source of material ad- vantege to the people, to say nothing of the educating and refining influo exerted. It is a matter for congratula- tion that the park and boalevard is under way, and that something is to be done at once toward improving the unattractive school grounds of the city. 0 or ces work ANOTHER of the séries of interesting and instructive letters which have re- cently appeared.in this paper concern- ing the resources and natural growth of Nebr 1 will be found in this issue. This number is devoted to Buflalo county and Kearney, its commercial metropolis. Not many years ago Buffalo county was, as its name implies, the stamping ground of the bison and the hunting ground of the Indian. Today it is one of the most fertile, densely set- tled counties in the state, with a pro- ductive capacity that can be only appre- ciated by a careful perusal of the facts and figures embodied in the deseription and the interviews with leading farmers of that county, whose standing ives character to the information gathered. it is geatifying to note that the people of central and westorn Nebraska look forward to the coming harvest with sat- on and hopefulnes NEBRASKA is a sugar beet producing state. If we dovelop this industry so as to encourage capitalists to establish more sugar factories In this state such as we now have, as can readily be done within the next few years, we as a stato would entirely do away with the neces- sity of a sugar trust, as every pound of refined sugar manufactured by the Grand Island and Norfolle factories means that much less sugar on which the trust can levy a tax on the people in the way of excessive prices. From recent events we notice that the sugar trust is beginning to realize the growth of a powerful competitor, Tue full and accurate reports of the people's party convention which have appeared in this paper exclusively are supplemented in this by the sketches of the prominent leaders of the new narty, together with a concise his- tory of the movement that has culmi- nated in the convention now being held in this city. Incidentally it might not be umiss to remark that THE BEE domestic and foreign news service is not oxcelled by any paper in this country— cust or west. i relative prosperity of Omaha is clearly shown by the bank clearances of the past week, which give Omaha an in- crease of 48.8 per cent over last year at the same time.
