A great, newspapers, particularly in the are urging that this be done. They point to the fact that Russia 1s full of cholera and tha from Europe tell of the spread of the disease, Immigrants continue to come to this country from ail quarters, and it is said that a great many of them are of the that may convey the ds of I¥ is true that these im- migrants are subjected to a much mc rigid system of inspection than formerly, and that under the quarantine regula- tions as they are now being applicd there is ratively little dangor of any- body bringing cholera into our ports. Yot such a thing is possible, and the argument is that we should avoid all danger, however slight it may be. We have numerous ports and a very extended seucoust. We have also very cxtended northern and southern frontiers. So long as there is immigration there will be danger that at some of the ports o points of entrance into the country inspection will be defective and people will get into the country, bringing disease with them, either de- veloped in their persons or harbored in their baggage. Our northern border is not now adequately protected, and it is noted that since the immigration law of 1802 was enacted the number of immigrants coming into the United States through Canada has large increased. It is said that per- sons who have been refused en- trance at our Atlantic ports have suc- ded in getting into the country by way of Canada. According to a report of Di Banks, who is stationed at Quebee, in the three months ending on July 31 the number of im- migrants who passed the St. Law- rence quarantine wa 56, and of these 17, were on their way to the United States. The quarantine servico at the anadian station is said to'be ve factory, but ought we rely upon this? Is it not expedient that our own government shall adopt such a policy as will render the country abso- lutely secure against a possible invasion of cholera? Self-preservation is nature's first law. It is well knowa that this paper has no mpathy with those people who want a restriction or suspension of immi- gration on the grounds that we do not want any addition to our popu- lation from abroad, that we should what land we have for the natu in- c of our own people, and that by allowing an unchecked immigration, ex- cept as to certain classes alveady intor- dicted, we are in danger of suffering economically, sceially and politically. We have never been able to see any force in avgumerts of this sort, believ- ing that there is still and will be for many years to come abundant oppor- tunity here for the industrions and thrifty of the old wrld, while as to their influence politically or socially it isa poor compliment to the American people to assume that there is even a possibility of their not being able to proteet their political institu- tions and maintain their social charac- ter against any assaults likely to be made upon them by emigrants from Europe. But the question of keeping out the cholera is a very different mat- , and if the authorities stould bel the danger of an invasion of that scourge to be really serious they would be justi- fied in temporarily suspending immi- gration: indeed, it would becomo their imperative duty to do so. The season is s0 far advanced, however, that it seems highly probuble the president will not find it necessary to exercise the author- ity which the law gives him in this di- rection, It is interesting to note in this connec- tion, for the relief especially of those people who are in a chroni e of fear that wo shall be overrun by emigrants from Europe, that for several we more people have been going out of this country than have been coming 1nto it. This iy the report of the immigration commissioner at N York. There is usually a considerable efilux of foreign workmen in the autumn, but this year the number returning to Europe is un- precedented. The explanation is in the business depression here. The ex- istence of this is known throughout Burope and this knowledge checks the usuul movement of the emigrating popu- lation. At the same time it operates to send unusual numbers out of the coun- try in addition to the customary exodus at this season. Ixcept the possibility of & cholera invasion, which grows less every day, there is nothing in the pres- ent condition of immigration to cause any alarm. HOUSEWIVES AND SERVANTS, Philanthropic women in some of the New England towns where mills have recently shut down have endeayored to assist the disphrced women workers to socure positions as domestic servants, The experiment, however, has not been an unqualified success. Notwithstand- ing the fact that places were at hand waiting to be filled, places whicii de- manded Jess work than is required of factory operatives and which offered much higher compensation, it was found impossible to induce many of the idle women to accept, even temporarily, em- ployment which was denied them in the closed mills, In this we have but an- other illustration added to the hundreds that have previously been noted, that domestic service has acquired in one way or another some quality which re- pels the woman who has been acsustomed to a precarious existence as a factory operative. Opinions in recent discussion of the servant question have differed widely on the point whether the difficulties en- countered are to be attributed to the em- ployed or to the employer—whether it is the servant or the housewife who is being sbused. The extended investig: tions undertaken by Miss Lucy B. Sal- mon of Vassar college have led her to point out in certain magazine articles the various advantages and disadvan- tages under which the occupation of & reports con satis- ather domestic servant labors. The results of her study scem to be that the main hin- drance to an ample supply of servants lies in the obstacles which are put in the way of a ri social station. And she has baen broy itations as to going out, receiving com- pany and devoting her leisure to her own purposes are the real causes of the unattractiveness of domestic serv the eyes of American women, On the other hand, there are numer- writers who declaim about the y of the housowife. Instead of soeing anything like oppression of the servant they can find nothing in he situation that justifies complaint. If any one is entitled to complain, it is the mistress of the mansion. So one woman who herself as “‘an oft dis- tressed housewife” insists that things will go from bad to w until legisla- tion is appealed to. She thinks lution lies in the strict enfo.coment of the law which imposes penalties for ob- taining money under false pretonse Professional” men and skilled labor are liable for damages in case thoy r resent that they b the skill when in fact they fail to employ it. Why not, then, she asks, compel cooks or housemaids to ehoose their profession because of aptitude or taste for them? Why not fine people who undertake to cook or sweep withant knowing how? There is certainly something amis when the discussion of this subject draws out expressions so opposed to one another as these, Itis evident that we are not yet able to judge whether it is the housewife or the servant who is abused, and the view which is taken is apt to vary with the position of the critic. No solution to the probiem csn be expected until some effort is mads to reconcile the many divergent opinions. o in subscribes the so- p- o requisite pe NO CREED IN Ivery patriotic American upon our public school sys strongest guaranty for th of civil and religious liberty that form the corner stone of the republic. The framers of our state constitution sought to forestall any possible interference by religious zealots with our public school system when they embodied in the Bill hts the following provision: t nd indefeasi- right to worship God according to the tes of their own conscience, No person 1l be compelied to attend, erect or sup- Place of worship against his con- ent, and no preference shall be given by law to any religious society, nor shall any interference with the rights of conscience be permitted. iwious test shall be re- quired as a qualification for office. * * * Religion, morality and knowledge, however, being essential to good government, 1t shail be the duty of the legislature to pass suita- ble laws to protect every religious denom ation in the peaceavle enjoyment of its own mode of public worship and to encour- age schools and the means of indtruction, Section 11 of article viii of the consti- tution, entitled “Education,” states that: No sectarian instruction shall be gllowed in any school or institution supported in whole orinpart by the public Tunds set part for cducational purposes, nor shall the st aceept any grant, conveyance or be- quest of mone; or other property to be used for sec an purpose: To supplement these constitutional safeguards against the intrusion of sectar- ianism into the public schools of Omaha, the law creating the Board of Education for Omaha, as framed by the editor of THE BEE, then a representative for Doug- las county in the le contained the following pro 4 Nosectarian or religious” doctrine shall ever bo taught or inculcated in the public schools of Omaha. This clause has been retained in the statutes through alt the revisions which the school laws have undergone first enactment in 1871, In the face of the constitutional guarantees of religious froedom and un- qualified inhibition of the use of schaol funds for sectarian purposes, no rational person will contend that there is any danger that either preacher or priest, Protestant or Catholic, will subvert our public schools to sectarian purposes or teachings, The attempt in certain quarters to force the issue of creed in the chool election is therefore to ba do- plored and'discountenanced. No possi- ble good can spring from dragging se tarian contention into the school by or making any particular religions bo- lief a qualification or disqualification, This paper has aiways advocated a non- partisan school hoard, because we do not believe any man fit toserve on the Board of Education should be dependent upon the political machine and because we believe it to be detrimental to our school system that memberships in the board should go as the reward of par- tisan activity., For the same reason we believe it to be contrary to the letter and spirit of our constitution that belief in any particular religion or hostiiity to any particular religion shall be consid- ered a qualification or & bar to member- ship in the school board. Our Board bf Education dates back twenty-two yoars, We have had Protest- ants, Catholics, Jews and agnosties on the board, but no man has over sought to foist his belief or dishelief upon our school system. The friends of the pub- lic schools want clean, intelligent and honest men on the school board. This is the only qualification that should be exacted from candidates, What party they belong to and what church they attend is of no consequence 50 long as we know them to be upright, law-abiding ecitizens, who take an in- terest in the public schools and are willing to devote their time and talents to maintaining the high standard of ed- ucation which we have established. — BECAUSE THE BEE has expressed the opinion that there wre many projects where $100,000 could be expended to greater advantage that in building a city hospital, a local contemporary de- clares that THE BEE is opposed to the proposition “to vots bonds for & hospi- tal for the helpless in order to help out several corporations that want to ask subsidigs for enterprises that promise to benefit Omaha.” Nothing is farther from the truth. The only reason THE BEg does not approve the proposition to vote $100,000 for an emergency hospital is because the city can manage to get sl ng without i. and because voting 100,000 for @ hos, ital will prevent us ThE HOOLS. izen looks. m as the its coming rd ht to think that the lim- | feom buildin lic hall, \-.mrruilm- more needed, We believe that the accommodations in the four hospitals- iready ostablished are ample for ail prinary wants and if an eme v hgsyital i3 absolutely nooded we ean readily fihd a suitable building that can bo utilized for the purpose, ——— A GREAT MUSICAL INSTITUTION, 1t is a fact which everybody interestod in the cause of thusical development in the Unitod Staths ought to recognize and appreciaté, that we have in this country a mudléal institution which is not surpassed in the comprehensiveness of its cur Ium and the thoroughness ofits tnition by the best schools of tho old world. Thisis the National Con- vatory of Music of America, located in New York and established eight years ago. The progress of this splen- did institution been steady and rapid and it has accomplished immeas- urable good. It has supplied tuition to 2500 pupils, many of whom are pursuing a successful musical eareer, a number of these having been taught frec of charge. The conservatory was not established as u money king en- terprise, but with the single purpose of encouraging and promoting the devel- opment of American musical talent. Tts founder, M Jeannette M. Thurber, had boundless faith in the eduecational possibilities of such an institution, and inorder to givo these the highest test it was necessary to offer the advantages of the conservatory free of charge to all persons of remarkable talent without the means to pay for tuition. To those who can pay the charges are most rea- sonable —lower than in any other mu Linstitution of equal merit anywhere, Nobody is excluded from the conserva- y onaceount of race, ereed or color, who has the talent necessary to meet the requirements, The director of this institution is Dr. Antonin Dyorak, eminent asa composor and admittedly the greatest master of instrumentation in the world today. Under dircetion ave fifty-six in- structors, the professional repute of most of whom is international. These ite a corps of teache of the st efficiency. The scholastic year of the conservatory extends from Octo- ber 1 o June 1, and the annual entrancoe examinations begin September 21 and close October 2, though paying pupils may enter at any period of the The patrons of the National Con: t of Music in¢tude many distinguished citizens, among, whom are Cleveland, Chawncey M.

Of the 150 contributing patrons of the conservatory mo, one has given les than $100 and many have gone into th thousands.

The expression of a fear that the American people will at a not very re- mote date find themselves landless is not uncommon, and certain statisticians make a plausible presentation of figure to justify the apprehension. The open- ing of the Cherokee Strip to settlement, with the certainty that within a few years the remaining reservations in the Indian itory will be similarly dis posed of, has renewed the talk about a ve land famine not far off, It is undeniable that of the public domain little that is desivable remains and it is only a question of time when the farm erwho wants land at government terms will have to aceept that which must be irvigated or go without, but this d not warrant the fear that the Americ people are soon to become land bungry in this generation or the next, When there is no longer any desirable government land to be had there will vegin & change of conditions under which the danger that some now appre- hend will be put off for a very long time. It has been remarked that the great vice of the American farmer is to spread out. He prefers to superficinlly cultivate many rather than to carefully cultivate a few. During the last twenty-five years the pop- ulation of the United States about doubled while the cultivated area increased more than 154+ por cent. Tmmense tracts are owned by individuals which cannot always re- main the property of one person. Thus when the time comes that nomore arable land is to be had from the general goy- ernment these tracts owned by in- dividuals will come into the market and will be cut up into small farms, and the state school lands very generally will bo treated in the same way. From these resources the demands of an in- creasing agrictmral population will be supplied for perhaps another genera- tion. Before i supply is exhausted the work of redveming the semi-arvid lands by irvrigation will have been in- augurated on f general scale, Fow people have man intelligent idea of the extedt'” of this resource, The semi-arifl’ region is estimated to contain 200000000 acres, capable of ylelding under'y” propor system of ir gation abundagt.erops and supporting millions of pevgde. There is still an- other resource “@jd a very important one, namely, agpgiter cultivation of the lands now in ugew It is said that the waste and lack' "o’ thrift that charac- terize Americay farmers amaze the European agriculturist. France, with an area about that of Texas, sustains a population of about 38,000,000, Belgium, with an a ea of a little over 11,000 square miles, less than one-fourth the area (f Neb aska, sustains a population of over 6,000,000. Not one American farmer in 1000, observes a contempo- ary, kn ws anything about the prop- erties of different soils or how to vary crops and get the full virtue out of his holding. He goes on in the old slip-shod way his fathers trod and wonders why he does not gev ahead in the world.

As the population becomes land will of course increase in value, and it probable that good farm lands in the United States will never be cheaper than they are now. Indeed there is perhaps no investment more cortain to vield a profit. Tt is just as obvious that there is no danger of the American peo- ple becoming land hungry for several generations, The cheap wost produc densor A work has been undertaken by the Grand Army of the Repub in planning the erection of a monument in Washington, national in character, to the rank and file of the union army and navy. There are memorials, some of them imposing and costly, in many cities of the country in honor of the heroes who fought on land and sea for the preservation of the union, but these are almost without exception intended to commemorate the patriotism and loyalty of the men who went forth from these localitios. Moreover, they make no distinetion between the rank and file and the officers. While monu- ments to commanding officers are com- a fitting memorial of the private solaiers and common ilors—the men without whose courage and fidelity the genius of the commanders would been futile-has yet to be provided. This the Geand Army proposes to pro- vide and it is to be hoved thavit will push the project vigorously. There can be no doubt that whatever support may be asked or desired from the general ic will bo cordially given, for the masses of our people duly honor the heroism of those who fought in the ranks and fully appreciate their claim to the popular homage.

One day this little peach dawned on the view, Of little Johnny Jones and his sister Sue, them 2, them 2, Listen to my tale of woe. Now up at the peach a club they threw, Listen to my tale of woe. Down from the stem on which it grew, Fell the little peach of Emerald hue,wise John, good Sue, Listen to my tale of woe. Great heads had them 2, Johnny Jones and his sister Sue, He always wears our suits so naw, he do, he do, Listen to my tale of woe, “Don’t take a bite” said John to Sue, Listen to my tale of woe. For then the trouble'd begin to brew, A troubie thet the doctor couldn’t subdue, too true,2 true, Listen to my tale of woe. Now John grew wiser as older he grew, Listen tu my tale of woe. And came to know a thing or two, Our suits he wears which proves it true, boo hoo, boo hoo, Listen to my tale of woe. Great heads had them 2, Johnnie Jones and his sister Sue. He always wears our suits so new, he do, he do, Listen to our tale of joy. ) BROWNINDG, KINC & €O, Coruer 15th und Douglus Streots
