While all this is of interest to the stu- dent of social questions and as evi- dence of the general and growig fen- den among stitesmen to devote greater consideration to these probloms, what has alvendy been aceomplished and what is proposed in European countries wonld not be practicable in the United States, because these schemes involve a measure of govern- mental.paternalism not compatible with our political system. All our govern- ment ean do, as indicated by Mr. Por- ter, is by wise legislation to enable our people to take the fullest advantage of thelr apportunities, so that the working classes shall have constant employment 1t remunerative wi , from which they n make provision for the time when they are unable to earn a subsistence. LAR REPORMS. Ior more than twenty years the ques tion of reforming the consular service of the United States has received earn- est discussion from time to time, but Stll the service has not been reformed up to the standards of other great com- mercial nations, and observant Ameri- veling much abroad are com- pelled to admit its inferiority. During ir solution. of Europ HOV | the administration of President Hayes a serious effort was made to elevate and improve the character of our consu- lar service, and with good results, but the example has not been sedulously followed by subsequent administrations and consequently much of the good then accomplished has been lost. Gradually the old method of appointing men to consular positions with little reference to their fitness or capabilities has re- turned, and cavelos in this respect has been more marked under the pres ent administration than under any of its predecessors in twenty years. During the administration of Presi- dent Arthur, Adwmiral Erben, recently retived from the navy after forty-six years of service, made an investigation of the consular service, and he has since had much to do with it. In a recent in- terview he gives his views regarding this service, and as a well informed and en- tively unprejudiced witness what he says is entitled to great comsideration. His general arralgnment of the service is that it Is largely filled by men who lack knowledge regarding trade and consular work and who take little or no inter- est in the service. Many are unfamil- far with the language of the countries to which they ave accredited, others have gone to their posts as a mere ms ter of convenience, and still others are consuls for the personal gratification and therefore give only o perfunctory attention to their dutie Exceptions to the rule of incompetency and indif- ference are in the larger cities and more important ports, but Admiral Er- ben has found consuls at such places by no means up to the highest stand- d. The familiar explanation of this state of things is that our consular service has always been a sort of political asy- lum, a convenient place for satisfying the demands of a class of politicians who could not be used at home. In- stead of following the example of other nations and appointing only practical men, well acquainted with trade affairs, to this service, our policy has been to give these places to politicians, and for the most part to an inferior class of politicians. This being well understood the remedy is plain and there ought to be no difficulty in applying it. The con- sular service must be divorced from pol- itics and only men appointed to it who have the proper qualifications. Tenure in the service should be during life or good behavior, with promotion for the fuithful and efficient performance of duty. Ina word, the eivil service prinéi- ple should be applied to the service and those employed in It should receive an perhaps | ared for | The some- | | case of the emporor | the nibilist OMAHA DAILY. adequate compensation.

Civilization in that vast empire has made no marked progress. The tnssian people can hardly be said o be better off as a whole today than they were on the day when Alexander 111, ascended the throne. On the ofl hand, his reign has been marked by numerous intrigues, by a despotic rule as rigorous as that of the most otic of his predecessors, and by proscriptions and persecutions which have elicited the protests of the civilized world. Two things are to be said to his credit. He has been a potential friend of the peace of B nd he has con ducted himselr dutiful husband and father. What effect the death of the would have upon the politieal affairs of Furope is an interesting question. The mostintelligent opinion appears to be on the side of the view that it would cause no serions digtnrbance.

Is the dormitory system nec the success of the American Have colleges with dormitories any ma- terial advantage over these without dor- mitories? These are the questions that have again been raised in two of our leading institutions of higher learning, The University of Pennsylvania in Phil- adelphia has practically decided to in- vest a portion of its endowment fn build- ings for the use of resident students. Columbia college in New York City, on the threshold of its 141st year, is se riously debating whether its academic school has not been handieapped by the fact that the students are compelled to Dboard in private houses as best they may. The alumni association, on Mon- day last, passed a resolution “that the trustees ought to provide dormitories for the undergraduate department,” ‘but President Low and the trustees do not seem to be very favorably inclined to the proposition. In favor of the college dormitory it is urged that in no other way can the true “college feeling” be developed. The students who reside together form little communities by themselves, become most intimately acquainted, and by rubbing against one another draw out a loyalty to themselves and to their alma mater that makes them devoted to the latter's welfare forever after. Parents who send their sons to college are sup- posed to experience a greater sense of security when the students are under the control of college authorities during the whole day instend of during class hours only, Several of the most popular colleges are conducted on the dormitory plan and it is but natural to ascribe their popularity to this feature, The dormitory system, on the other hand, has at times manifested a distinet tendency to overdo the “college feeling™ and to create little bands of ruffians who are terrors to the commuunities in which they reside, The separation of the student body from the people sur- rounding them makes the members feel that they are above the regulations te which ordinary people must conform their conduct, and hazing pranks have brought more disrepute upon colle than years of college loyalty ean efface. There are, furthermore, institutions of standing equal to the best that have no college? all that it costs, as does (hat of | to | | much to rc | paper, | the country chief | dormitorfes, A" tory system few of the accommodatidn where the dorm!- n0st pronounced very nts manage to secure until after they have been one or ‘C years In attendanee More to the go still is the claim that there s absolutely nothing in common between the educational i of n huge bagrdfng honse, Let a state university prpose to board and lodge students and Bhe cry of paternalisin will soon be hurlel dgainst it As n mattgt 8f fact, the dormitory gystem s essential only to the smaller colleges and academie No one even | proposes it for the university depart. ments, where the subjeet Is now agitat- ing.

For a sensible and practical discussion of the saloon problem consult the arti- cle of Dr. William Iowe Tolman in the last issue of the Independent. Dr. Tol man is a practieal man, He is the see- of the society which, under the presidency of Dr. Parkhurst, Is doing so t out corruptic lice department of New York City. contribution is only one of a synmpc upon the drink cyil presented in that but it stands out from, all the others by very reason of the practical view which its author takes of the sub- Jjeet. While his fellow contributors are husy figuring how much is annually lost to throngh the saloon, dilating upon the beautics of prohibitory laws and constitutional amendments, describ- ing the advantages of the Norweglan system of state dram shops, or arguing learnedly upon the two-wine theory of the bible, Dr. Tolman starts out with two candid admissions—first, that the saloon s a power in the life of a com- munity, and, second, that closing all the saloons in the city will not put an end to the evils of which the saloon is an ex- pouent. The abuses against which the temperance agitation is directed are effects and not eauses, and the canses of the evils of intemperance which cul- minate under saloon auspices must be traced far back of that institution. What we have to fear from the saloon as at present conducted is its tendeney to disintegrate the family, and the reg son for this is_thaf the saloon offers con- veniences and comforts which ought to be found in the,home, but which are not. Dr. Tolman then, goes on to enumerate some of the catsés which create a de- mand for the saloon, which is not, in his opinion, an unmixed evil, ac to present sogial and economic tions. To commence with, the s) of machine polities in.vogne in large cities often recruits its ward heelers and district bosses from the sa- loon element.” which naturally makes the saloon the iter of loeal political influence. Statisties ave quoted to illus- trate this point taithe effect thaf out of 1,002 political meetings made the sub- Jeet of inquiry in 1887, 633 were held in ind ninety-six next door to sa- His sim econdly, the tenement house, at- | tended by overcrowding and poor sani- tation, acts nec 3 o the saloon that has at, light 17i- nally, the k of proper amusements and means of recrention are similarly powerful pporters of the saloon. Liquor is often only a minor attraction. For example, in the most densely popu- lated o in New Yor City there loons, to say noth- 15 of the honse resorts where liguor may be obtained. In some of these ehristenings and wed- dings take place in the back rooms; many a lodge or society of workmen holds its meetings in rooms conneeted with or over the saloon, thevproprictor recouping himself for the low rental out of the resultant patronage; bowling alleys, pool and billiard rooms com- mon adjune facilities for letter w ing are made possible; the conven e of toilet rooms Is careful attended to, and the attractions of congenial com- panionship ave aly at hand. With all these we are “Why shouldn’t the saloon flon The suggestions offered as to w can be done to counteract these for may be summed up in a few words, The Tee To Tum is a combination worl ingmen's cafe, offering all the features of the best equipped saloon except the bar. The improvement of the water snp- ply, with the establishment of drinking fountains and watering troughs, where man and beast may be refreshed with- out stopping at a saloon, and a greater abundance of water in the tenement houses, will tend to cut off the liquor habit in its inception. People often r sort to the saloon because the water at their homes either is unfit to drink or requires considerable exertion to secure it. Public lavatories, again, if opened throughout the city, would draw off pa- trons of the saloom: Many men patron- ize the saloon for the sake of the lava- tory, and because they have an inherent sense of meanfessin getting something for nothing they will buy something to drink in order, 49 yecompense the pro- prietor for this convenience, If men re- sorted to the saloon for no other purpose than to sn-vlut!nwxlmnn: liquor the temperance prphlém would Dbe im- mensely simpliffed. Mr. Elbridg: Ej er t the conven- tion of humane societies held at Albany last week, came out in the course of an address in favor of the introduction of the whibping post to be used especially in the punishméht 8f people convicted of cruelty to children. He maintains that the penalties of fine and imprisonment are inadequate to check this species of mhumanity and thinks that the only practical way of putting a limit upon it Is to treat the offenders to the same kind of medicine which they have in- flicted upon others. We scarcely think ths suggestion will bear froit In the very near future, but it Is Interesting as showing what remedies the humane so- cleties are ready to adopt. Mr. Gerry, unable to devise a new and effectiy check fop child beaters, says that he is willing to take a step backward and return to the odious whipping post, now almost universally discarded.

This I8 owing to the pe- enliarities of the Now York Australian ballot Taw, which requires a separate ballot to be printed for every list of nominations filed in accordance with the provisions of the statute. One set, for example, covers the nominations for ! state offices and consists of five ballots, representing the demoerats, the repub- leans and prohibitionists, the soclalists and the populists. The sets covering the constitutional amendments consist of only two ballots cach, one for and one against the proposition. Were the blanket ballpt in use in New York there could be a great deal of consolldation and much of the confusion necessarily resulting from the prosent system could be avoided.

It had a capital of $100,- 000, subscribed by wealthy people in- terested in its charvitable aspect, and has effected loans to the amount of $130,000, of which §: turned by redemption. It is proposed to increase the eapital stock to $250,000 in order to expand the volume of trans- actions. It is furthermore claimed that the good effects of the institution are not confined to its own borrowers, but are also shared by the patrons of other pawn shops, whose proprietors have been forced to display a marked lessening of greed in their dealings. It is per- haps too early to judge finally of the oxperiment, but far everything points to its success, 80 The custom of formally notifying a candidate through a committee that he has been nominated to an office which hie has been seeking with all his might and main and of having him go through the formality of accopting a nomination made perhaps in his presence is a pe- culiar feature of national polities that is just now being introduced more and more widely into state politics. In New York and Pennsylvania it has been | the practice of all parties for some years. Other states are beginning to adopt it and probably befove very long it will be a common procedure every- where. It enables the candidate to tak his time in preparing his speech of a ceptance and affords an occasion for a grand party demonstration. There is so seldom any doubt of the nominee’s will- ingness, or rather eagerness, to run that the notification and acceptance can be little but an artificial ¢ nony. The commotion caused by the letter of | Colonel Merritt Barber, assistant ad- jutant general of the Department of the Platte, declining to serve on one of the commiftecs on arrangements for the re- cent reunion of the Army of the Tennes- t Council Bluffs, secms to have heen largely a tempest in a teapot. The most | that ean be said of Colonel Barber is that he acted a trifle tily under a misapprebension of the facts. He was | not aware of the enstom which permits the appointment of persons to serve on committees without first consulting them and leaving it fo them to express their willingness or unwillingness to act wlhen notified of the appointment. The whole affair was entirely outside of the sphe conduct and it is ques- tionable whether it is of sufficient im- k portance to warrant official cognizance, ded, Pailadelphia Record, If any region of America needs protection ant industries it would seem to be ot only are the hunters extermi e seal in her waters and threaten- g the extinction of her fur-bearing ani- but Fish Commissioner Murray has de- that even her streams are being of their last salmon.

(AL S Beneficlal Effects of Reciprocity. gr a natlonal ele nd point tersely when he said: iprocity por- tion of the McKinley tariff was a reciproc ity of exchanges and not of competition. It is one thing to secure the admisst of Ameri by the p: ing of our doors to for- eign products, and quite another to throw our doors wide open to forelgn competition without securing any advant or equiv- alent in return. The reciprocity treaties negotiated under the McKinley law opened foreign markets to American producers, while the new tariff law, coupled with the repeal of the reciprocity treaties, surrenders that advantage and opens American mar- kets to forelgn producers. — Father of the Weather Bureau.

But it served him in a scandalous era of dishonesty and imposture to acquire high office, public distinction an sonal aggrandizement, The “father of the weather bureau serv- ice” was Increase A. Lapham, a modest and retired but ripe scholar, who lived in Milwaukee. He was the first to note by telegraph the progress of the wind cur- rents and storms and to predict their ap- pearan in specified neighborhoods. On the strength of a weather dispatch from Omaha in 188 or thereabouts, he an- nounced the first storm on Lake Michigan that ever was herald twelve hours in advance of its arrival.

A double diamond heart set with pearls, with one pearl dropping from it, makes a most dainty brooch. A butterfly of diamonds, studded on the wings with rubies, emeralds and sapphires, is admirably effective, Bangle bracelets are still worn, as they show the beauty of a row of well matched stones with splendid effect. A comb surmounted by two dainty little Mercury wings united by a knot of diamonds is a most popular ornament for the hair. A pretty arrangement for low dresses is a collar of tulle just gathered, and the fullness divided at intervals by four diamond bars. One of the novelties Is a snake bracelet to be worn around the top of the arra, thickly incrusted with diamonds, and eyes of emeralds or rubies. A pretty new brooch is a beetle balanced on a bar of gold with ruby eyes. Another is a true lover's knot plerced with an arrow and having a single pearl in the center, Large ornaments that can be worn either in the hair or on the corsage are In great favor.
