The question of opening or closing the qatos of the Columblan exposition on | Sundays involves both practical and | moral econsiderations Congress has de croed that the fair shall be dlosed on the fiest day of the woek, and an active agi- | tation been ln progress for time witha view to having this action | rescinded.

The pulpit has spoken on the subject and | interviews with ministers of the mass open- riven to the public, | showing wide divergence in the v of | » who represent the religious senti- ment of the country. The newspapers havs d the question and have pronounced almost unanimously against | closing the exposition on Sunday.

The action of the eastern trunk lines of rail- voad in agreeing upona reduction of only 20 per cent in passenger fares will, if adhered to, compel many people in the east to remain at home who would attend the faiv if the transpor- tation charges were more reasonable than proposed. Everybody is ex- pecting that the cost of living in Chi cago during the exposition will be s eral times greater than it is ordinarily, and while this may be a mistaken idea, it will not fail to detera great many from going there The most ious to the success of the fair, how- be in the fear of many that they will jeopardize theiv health in at- tending it. The present year promises to be reptional in the prevalence of contagious and infectious diseases, and if there should bo a development of such discases ear in the spring thousands of intending visitors to the exposition will consult, safety by remaining at home or secking localities the least accessible to disease. The country has heard a great deal recently about the impurity of Chicago water, the sanitary defects and the general un- disc It would loss that the statements xaggerated that the; a good deal t is none the less certain will have some effect in keep- least during the summer months. view of these consideration not at all fanciful, the In which are tion man- s cannot afford to lose one oppor- tunity to make money if it is desired that the enterprise shall be a financial success. Asto the moral consideration, what class of the people would be benefited | morally by being excluded on Sundays from this great exhibit of the world's achievement in science, art and indus- trial development? Certainly not the masses of local wage earners, who would be denied the opportunity to see the ex- position without loss of time from their work. On the contrary,the probable effect upon the great majority of them would be to create a feeling of resentment and revolt mnot at all conducive to moral sentiment or conduct. They would regard such a restriction asa positive wrong to their elass, and this would certainly not improve their respect for the sentiment responsible for | it. They would not be drawn into the churches by being kept away from the fair, but would scek whatever entertain- ment could be found outside the exposi- tion, and undoubtedly there will be a plentiful supply of this, much of it of a character that will not promote moral improvement. What the exposition would lose by Sunday closing, the fake showmen, the saloons and the resorts of vice would gain. Then as fto the visitors, what per- centage of these would be attracted to the ‘churches because they could not pass Sunday at the fair? Being there | for pleasure and sight-seeing is it not most reasonable to assume that very few of them would spend the day in places of | worship, even of those who are regular church attendants at home? Such as desired to attend church would do so if the fair were apen, and to those who did not so desire it would be something of an injustice to deprive theza of the privilege of enjoying the object of their visit for evenasingle day. From whatever point of view regarded the proposed elosing of the Columbian exposition on Sundays ap- pears to be a mistake and eongr should correct the ervor it made when | it ordered the gates of the fair closed on | the first day of the week. Those who think differently will do well to bear in mind that more than eighteen centuries ago the highest authority of Christianity emphatically declared that *the Sabbath was made for not man for the Sabbath."” man, VARD TRE COURSE F Of the sixty counties in the state of New York, according to the rvepart of the commissioner of statistics, forty-four show a decrease in rueel population. | The remaining countios are mostly near the large cities, from which a population | has overflowed that is classed as rural, but it appears that there is an actual decrease in the number of people in the | state engaged in agricultural pursuits, though there is an increase in the avea under cultivation. No cause is assigned for these facts, but the truth doubtless is that the farmers of the Fmpire state are gravitating toward the cities and sceking improved agricultural oppor- tunities in the west. It is well known | that there have been in recent years large additions to the farming popula- | tion of the western states from the old | states of the east. This movement is | constantly going on, though it is so gradual as to attract little notice. The increase in the urban population of all the old eastern states goes steadily forward. The growth in the number and magnitude of the manufacturing en- terprises in their cities and villages is | enormous, affording employmeut for an W, ENPLIE, | prov | ricultural | but | starving and | sidering that the distress resulting from | world is constantly improving and the | over ineromsing number of workingmen. Among these aro many sons of farme who never réturn to agricultural pur- suits. From this canse and from emi- gfation the ranks of the farmers are re- duced while the aggrogate population is constantly increasing. There is a wid d tendency among young men reared on eastern farms teck the new | western states whero the occupation to which they have been trained can be fol- lowed with better returns for the labor and money expended. Comparatively few eastern farmers are rich enough to lo their sons with farms at such prices as are demanded for desirable ag® | lands in the old states, and henee it is natural that the young men | who have a liking for the calling to | which they have been rearcd should set their faces toward the opportunities which the new west offers to the agri culturist of slender means. The annual excursions by which thou- sands of farmers from the east are brought into Nebraska and other west- ern states to see the country and judge of its morits and attractions have stimu- lated this westward movement, though they may have brought few from the Atlantic states. This westward drift of the eastern agricultural population is so gradual as to attract little attention, the can no doubt that it has much to do with the actual decrcase in the number of farmers in the old states to which attention is called by the New York commissioner of statistics. spros be AN IMPORTANT DUTY, By the provisions of the act of 1891 regulating loan and building associa- tions, the authority granted associations incorporated under the laws of other states to do business in Nebraska must be renewed on or before the 31st of Jan- uary of cach ye Foreign associations are requirel to filo with the state auditor attested copies of the laws under which they are incorporated, together with sworn statements of officers show- ing their financial condition in detail, and also copies of their charters and by laws, and such other information as the state auditor may require. Itis made the duty of the state banking board to examine these papers and de- termine whether the laws of the state whence the applicant comes “affords as ample protection for the in- terests of its members as is afforded by the laws of this state. The solveney of the applicant for a certificate must be carefully looked into, and the charter and by-laws must be in harmony with the principles of mutuality outlined by law, and must be free from abuses and perversions of honest co-operation. Should the applicant fail in any essen- tial requirement of the law, it is the duty of the banking board to deny _the application for a certificate. The importance of the duty imposed on the banking board has not been ap- preciated heretofore. To all intentsand purposes the law has been a dead letter. Associations of doubtful solvency, prac- ticing inequitable and dishonest meth- ods, have been given authority to do business in Nebraska. Theresult of this negligence is manifest in the number of complaints on file in the office of the board, and the personal appeals for re- dress, made to bank inspectors. In a score of counties investors and bor- rowers have been inveigled into decep- tive and frandulent schemes, to discover when too late that they were paying ex orbitant fees for the services of ecastern financial Napoleons. In the older states where abuses and disreputable methods have crept in, stringent laws have been enacted to safeguard the business and confine it to its proper limits. A few years of state supervision and regulation cleared the field of speculative bubbles or hedged their operation within the lines of cstab- lished principles. While the Nebraska law is not as comprehensive as the in- terests involved require, it affords rea- sonable protection against co-operative rascality, if properly enforced. The value of co-operative associations, when honestly managed, is beyond ques- tion. They are commended by the ablest financiers in the country. They have established their worth by aiding in building countless homes and encou ing frugality among the mass fundamental prineiples upon which they are founded are well known. To permit an economic and beneficent movement to be per 1 by mercenary speculators is an outrage: to give it legal sanction is a erime. Nebraskans been deceived and plundered sufficiently to arouse the banking board to action. A vigorous enforcement of the law should be inaug- aurated. Not only should bogus foreign ions be compelled to deal justly with their patrons on pain of exclusion, but associations of home growth con- ducting deceptive and fraudulent schemes should be ordered toadopt legit- imate legal methods or abandon the field. THE pauper population of London— that s, the people who are public charg exclusive of lunatics and ] vagrants— is now 102,800, showing «an incres B00 over last year. This vast army of dependent poor by no means includes all of the hungry ones who are compelled to subsist upon charity, for private beneficence is saving thousauds from eczing to death in Lon- don this winter. Of the latter class there are many who would rather die than suffer the disgracs and disfranchisement which accompany all forms of public re- lief. The figures above given do not fully show the iner in poverty oceasionod by the present industrial de- pression in London, for public charity has not yet had time to veach all of | these, and they consequently cannot be | included in the statistics given. Con- lack of employment extends all over ngland, it will readily be seen that the situation in that country is alarming. How it is to be remedied is one of the | unsolved problems. | THE rank of America in the maritim, day is not far distant when this country will bo able to claim supremacy in this respect over all other nations, Re- | ferving to this subject u New York | shipping merchant says that of all the ships that ar d at New York last | AHMA DAILY BEE: SUNDAY, | standard of | annual convention " yoar America waspsecond on the st of nations represe *-d.

"HE clerks in the Omaha postoffice have mailed to Speaker Crisp a petition signed by the leading citizens of this city and state in support of house bill 3608 for classification of clerksinall first and second postoftices.
