THE boomers along the borders of the '* ODIO REFORM. Leoss than two months ago an , emo- tional revivalist, Rev. B. Fay Mills, held a series of meetings in this city which attracted a great many people. During the last week of his stay some of his most zealous converts and admirers in- duced the business men to close their doors for half a day in recognition of Mr. Mills' effort and for the purpose of giv- ing their clerks and workmen an op- portunity: to hear him. Above all things, however, the object was to im- press upon Mr. Mills and the world at large that Omaha was not mercly a money-making centor, but a Christian | community.

We al- ready have the English fox hunt, and perhaps a tame stag is not entitled to any more consideration than a tame fox. Considered as sport, both stag and fox hunts are total failures in this country. THE introduction of a bill in the legis- lature of this state to prohibit the use of gas for the lighting of hotel sleeping roomsis designed to protect the lives of that numerous class of rural people who blow out the gas when they go to bed ina hotel. To judge by the large number of cases of that kind that have been re- corded in this city it would appear that Nebraska noeds such a law to prevent Iowa and Kansas visitors from being asphyxiated. THE meeting of the Manufacturers as- sociation at Lincoln next Wednesday will be attended by ¢ large number of the Omaha members ard it is expected that members from all jarts of the state will be present to take vartin the pro- coedings and talk over matters pertain- ing to the intevests of the association. This will havea good influence upon the annual exposition to be held in this city next June, as it will serve to awaken new interest in that enterprise. THE bill that hus been introduced in the legislature of this state to abolish the “‘sweating” system may not seem to be a pressing necessity now, as there is but little work done in the way of cloth- ing manufacture in Omaha or elsewhere in this state, but the time may soon | come when the law proposed will be needed. The factory inspection system which must be established as & means of enforeing the law can be put off indefi- nitely, as it would bo a noedless expense at present. THE harsh sentence imposed upon poor old Ferdinand de Lesseps has come too late to give him much distress. The vet- eran engineer is losing his mind and will #oon be beyond the reach of any earthly law. Who shall say that his connection with the Panama iniquity was not due to his mental collapse, which must have begun some time ago?

But Mr. Mills, like other spasmodic re- formers, returned the compliment by striking Omaha a blow in the face. On the night bofore his departure, and the dives in the lower parf of town with a discharge of igious pyrotechnics,” he gave Omaha shot inthe following language fallen in love with the people I have not anyw nown a more whole-hearted, more courteous, granler or more noble people than you have right here For the most part you have a royal city You ought to have the bost name ny city in the whole west, but in fact you have about the worst.” ment Now, who has given Omaha the worst The short-haired, ¢ nscienceless liavs of the Helen Gougar stripe and the spasmodic reformers of the Mills stripe. Proceeding, Mr. Mills said: “I have been in nearly United States, but nowhe vice so open and without city in the have I found upon its ave shame countenance as in this promising city of | & yours. Nowhere have I saon the g hells run so openly and defiant Now,where has Mr. Mills been all th time? Has he been in New Orleans or in Washington?

Ithink the curse of Giod ought to rest upon every individual in any way re- sponsible for this state of affairs. What a monumental falsifier! There s not another city of over 100,000 popu- lation in America where the soeial evil i s prominent or under better police voillance. Where there is one block ceeupied by disorderly houses in Omaha there ave half a dozen squaves so occu- pied in Louisville, Denver, Kansas City, Washington and other cities north and south, east and west. n costly buildings in whole burnt district where there ave hundreds in the city of Chicago. But | spasmodic reformers always exaggerate and magnify every subject they touch or see. Mr. Mills' damaging misrepresenta- tion of Omaha is recalled by THE BEE in view of ‘the spasm of reform which many of our well meantng citizens have recently experienced regarding a condi- | tion of things that prevails in almost every population center. It is true that the social evil exists in defiance of law, but it always has existed in defiance of law and never will be eradicated by any law that can be de- | vised by man. The only town of any | size where the social evil was not known to exist is Salt Lake City during the days of Brigham Young, when polygamy flourished at its height. | The prevailing system of fines en- forced against keepers and inmates of | disorderly houses in this city is not a license, bat a filne imposed at stated periods for a misdemeanor, not a felony The fines might be imposed irregular] more frequently or less frequently, or they might be abolished altogether. But what difference would such change existence of the vice | If fines were abolished and the district vacateds the inmates would scatter, but their number would ho greater than ever, while the police would be at greater trouble in ascertain- ing the whereabouts of these people, who very of'en havbor dangerous criminals. Tn other words, change does not always mean reform. The demand for the repeal of the gam- bling ordinance and the better enforce ment of the Slocumb law is rational. Tt will be remembered that THE BEE de- nounced the gambling ordinance as a flagrant violation of the criminal stat- utes when it was pending bofore the couneil. The only thing to be done now is to repeal it. The trouble with the new sade is that it will end like crusades, in a spasmodic bring about the millenium, f the good people engaged in this movement veally mean business why don't they strike at the top root, wh is the love of mone Why don't they strike a deadly blow at the two vices by prosccuting the owners of buildings let for lawless and immoral purposes? Ah, but most of these owners are rich men—church members, per- haps—and their proseention would cause a scandal! Precisely so. But the re- form movement that depends on the police alone, and the spontaneous arrest of disorderly persons, is destined to prove a dismal failure. veform cru- | all othe effort to MISMANAGEMENT SOMEWHERE, It is practically assured that when the time arrives for the opening of the World's fair, May 1, a large part of the exhibit will not be ready for public inspection. There has been so much delay in awarding space to exhibitors that it will be almost impossible for many of them to have their displays properly arranged by the date of open- ing. It has been stated in explaration of the delay that the official who had charge of the awards had broken down | hav + sal unde | the under the strain and was compelled to retire. While awards awaited on his action little or nothing could be done, | and this condition prevailed up to the latter part of last year. Then the bu- reau was resrganizel and it was prom- ised that there would be no complaints, It appears from the castorn pross, however, that they not only have not stopped, but, on the contrary, have in- creased. It is represented that among prospective exhibitors of New York, Boston and Philadelphia there is a more strong feeling of indignation at the way | in which their applications for space have been delayed. A short time ago attention was directed to this stat affairs by a represontative body of Phil- adelphia business men, who had been t1ying for weeks in vain to secure an al- lotment of space for their goods, Sim ilar complaints were also heard in smaller cities ow York has minced words regarding this condition of affaivs, boldly charging that eastern cities wero being diseriminated against, New York especially Color was ven to the charge by the fact that the complaints in the east were general. Doubtless the fault is due to misman- agement and not to prejadice, as some of the papers profess to think The that the Chicago people have any ng of bitterness toward the cast, growing out of the fight for the fair, we do not think is well founded. The herculean character of the task « allotting space is not to be lost sight of but the fairest conclusion regarding the eastern ides fe matter is that the management has not | baen altogether efficient in this pa lar work. The result is there have been me withdrawals of applications for ce, because the applicants would not time to make such an exhibit as they desired, and while there may be no trouble about filling the space relin- quished it is plain that there will be a t many exhibits not in position when the fair opens. Perhaps under no circumstances could the fair have been gotten into perfect condition at the outstart. It is a colos- taking, and it would be one of the chief wonders of the enterprise if nothing remained to be completed after the doors are opened. However much fair may lack of eompletion’ when May 1 arrives, there will undoubtedly be enough of the exhibit ready to satisfy reasonable expectation, but the that has been caused by the cir- cumstances referced to may have an effect detrimental to the success of the fair, and there may be other drawbacks to contend against. cu- BRASKA'S SUGAR BEET INDUSTRY. One of the most important steps ever taken in the development of the agricul- tural resources of Nebraska was the inauguration of the sugar beet industry. It has attracted widespread attention and advertised Nebraska more generally all ov the world than all other agencies or products combined. Today Nebraska is better and more favorably known abroad than any state west of the Mississippi, excepting alone the state of California. The subjoined letters addressed to the editor of THE B the first of them received some ten days ago and the last two days since, supply most interesting evidence | of the attention which the sugar beet in- dustry of this state has attracted in for- eign lands. They are very suggestive of what may be accomplished in the de- velopment of the industry if it be fostered and promoted by favorable leg- slation. The following letter is from one of the most extensive sugar refiners in Belgiun (Translation.) ANTWERP, Jan. b, 1803.—Mr. B. Rosewater, Kaitor of Tue Omana Bee, Omaha, U.

What is the aves perature from April to December, als quantity of rain fall during those months? ‘What is the general character and nature of the soil in Nebraska, part surrounds the principal learned that there are beet sugar factories operating successfully at present in your state. Is that also your opinion? What is the price of good land in large lots? Can vou give me some information regarding the nationality of the farmers in your state, and have they had any experience in the culture of sugar beets? Is it true that the s offers a bounty to the industry? Is steam navigation possible as far as Omaha? What is the condition of the labor market in the towns of the west, and can you give me some information regarding the scale of prices? What is the general character of Nebraska soil, particularly that which surrounds the priacipal towns of the state, which are otherwise supplied with water and which have good railroad facilities? Do you think that good rail and water transportation rates can- be obtained in Nebraska? Can coal and limestone be ob- tained in that state? in the state where conl mines exist. leum used as fuel, and what is the cost of the same? What was the average price of sugar during vhe past year in Nebraska? Would & sugar factory, in your opinion, have any difficulty in disposing of its product west of New York and Chicago? If, by your kindness, I can give some satisfac tory information to my clients, and the con- ditions are satisfactory to them, I will give self the pleasure of making you a visit, hanking you in advance for your kin ness in this matter, beg you to believe me most respectfully yours, Joux De Henror. The letter that follows, from a large vefiner of sugar in the province of Quebee, holds out a promise that should commend it to the careful consideration of all who are interested in advancing the prosperity of Nebraska: Farxuam, PRovINCE oF QUEBEC, Feb, 14— E.

A.—Dear Sir: 1 shall have recourse to your kindness in ask- ing you for Information which might prove of great importance to me. 1 have learned through Messrs. Willett & editors of the * ics,” New York, that the Nebraska government will probably give to the producers of sugar beet a bounty of §1 per ton. This grant, I consider, would be the best means of vanquishing the only existing dif- cllty against the sugar industry in the United States, as there is no serious ob- stacle to it outside of growing a large quan- tity of beets, it being mostly ut the begin- 1s petro- not | Please name the cities | ning that tardiblh require encouragement.

It is { well known that a large areaof Ne- braska unexcelled in the soil and climate essential to the successful pro- duction of the sugar beet. It having been demonstrated that the sugar beet can b successfully and profit- ably produced here, the question to bo determined is whether the industry, now in its infancy, shall be so encouraged and fostered by judicious legislation t within a few years it will have attained such proportions as to fully supply the | demand of our own people and possibly leave a surplus to be disposed of els whe N ska alone consumes from 33,500,000 to $4,000,000 worth of sugar a year. It will take fifteen more refineries like those of Norfolk and Grand Island to supply this local consumption. There is really room in Nebraska for fifty re- finer and this means a vast amount of capital employed and a corvesponding increase in land values. O1L 1 ANDARD., A bill is to be introdaced in the legisla- ture to abolish the office of oil inspector and to require that the sheriffs of the respective counties shall perform the | duties of oil inspeetion. It must bo ad- mitted that thp, existing law does not give the consnmers of oil in Nebraska the protection they ought t> have, for the reason thatthe test is too low. This state is now, as. iy alweys has been, a dumping ground for inferior illuminat- ing oil, and it witl continue to be so as long as the standard of test is not raised. It would be just as well, therefore, to abolish the office of oil in- spector, which -furnishes a number of sinecures, and save this expense to the people if the test is to remain at 100 d grees. Asto the plan of making sheriffs inspectors of ‘oily it is simply prepos- terous. Such anarrangement would not lessen the eost of this service to the people or give the consumers of oil any better protection. Indeed, it is probable that the inspection would generally be less carefully done than now. What is needed is to raise the test standard. Ohio, which produces large quantities of oil, requires a test of 120. Its inspection law is very simple in its provisions and its operation has been en- tirely satisfactory. There is no valid reason why there should be a lower test in Nebraska than in Ohio, or at any rate “that there should be as great a diffe ence as there {s between the standards in the two States. The consuniers of oil here swhould receive better protection against the introduction and sal> of in- ferior oil than they ave getting or can got under the existing law, and the first thing necessury to give them this pro- tection is to raise the test. The peo- ple will not object to paying a lit- tle more for a better and safer quality of oil. TIf this be not done the legislature may as well repeal the oil inspection law, which is an expense without any compensating benefits, and return to the old order of things. The plain duty of the legislature, however, is to exclude inferior and unsafe oil from Nebraska by raising the test. standard and providing for inspection by some such simple legislation as that of Ohio. PROGRESS IN SA) The present condition of sanitary science in this country is to be shown at the Columbian exposition through the agoncy of the Board of Hygiene and Sanitation, which is making extensive preparations for an exhibit, to which contributions will be made by eilleges, state and municipal boards of health, sanitary societies, physicians and manu- facturers. This feature of the exposi- tion one that is not expected to arrest the attention of the thoughtless sight-sger, but it will prove pro- foundly interesting to all who have an intelligent appreciation of the im- portance of cultivating a knowledge of methods by which-the public health may be preserved. There are few who quire proof thatythe violation of sani- tary laws is dangerous, but there are very many whoidg not know the first principles of sanifary seience and have no idea whatever as to the application of methods by which the dangers men- acing public health on every hand may be averted. To such this exhibit will prove instructive and profitable. The advancement that has been made | all over the world® in this branch of | progress during (ho past fow years has been great, but itihas been more marked in the United States than in most of the countries of Europe. The death rate in this country is now about 18 per 1,000, but it is to be borne in mind that the territory embraced is vast and that much of it is necessarily without auy or- zed system of sanitation, It is pre- dicted by good authorities that the rate will eventually be reduced to something like 5 to 7 per 1,000 by the enforcement o laws and the application of scien- of dealing with those which encourage the disea That this is not an idle dream is proven by what has Feen aceomplished in one city of Europe.
