Crime is not understood, nor fully defined in any of its phases, save by well meaning but misguided persons of philanthropie inclination, who have convinced themselves that -for each offense there is a specific cause, and, in any degree tinctured with punishment. Sad to relate, almost coincident with Judge vanash's rebuke of the hysteria that emcour- than curbs crime, comes word from the experiment of Warden Os- g to reform the prisoners there kindness and consideration has failed, reason that human nature is so strong, the prison walls, that these men have bused the privileges granted them. neither Judge Kavanagh nor Warden willingly close the door of hope had offended against the law, and S ’zgsg it i 5 5 i il f WTRETR- THE OMAHA SUNDAY BEE | rates in Omaha are to come down. pature of things, they must come down because | the downward tendency is operating in nearly | | the rate schedule The Light Rate Puzale Card.

Eprs————— German Industry and British Publicity. If the Germans can do half the wonderful things they are sald to be doing, by the British press agents, then they almost deserve to win whatever they desire. The latest high tribute to German ingenvity and resourcefulness is that a process has been discovered for making butter from sunflower oll. Just before this the Lon- don promoters sent out word that a Teutonic highbrow had succeeded in making palatable and putritive bread from wheat straw. What a boon these discoveries will be to Kansas, for example, where millions of tons of sunflower oil and wheat straw go to waste each year, With what joy the Jayhawker hereafter will see lunch time approach, when with a sunflower in one band and a bunch of wheat straw in the other he can hie himself to the shady side of his ma- chine and indulge in the glorious reflection of bread and butter, the white he lets his mind dis- port itself with one of William Allen White's fine dissertations on the beneficent effects of prohibition. The world is no longer in doubt as to the German’s Industry in research and discovery, and is willing to admit, in connectfon with al- most any mooted problem in science, that ““if anybody kin, he kin,” but whatever of recent experiments the German may have made in hope of adding to the sources of food supply, they have been undertaken as pioneering and not to meet immediate necessities. Authenticated re- ports from Berlin are such as to dispel any no- tion that the empire is suffering from shortage of food to the extent that impels search for sub- stitutes for bread and butter. S——————— Travels of the Liberty Bell. The old Liberty bell, one of the most vener- ated relics of revolutionary days, is about to be taken from its shrine In Independence hall, Philadelphia, for a trip across the comtinent, This cracked and silenced mass of metal would long ago have gone to the melting pot were it not for the fact that it is inseparably connected ‘with the birth of the nation, and as such deserves all the care with which it is preserved. Its journey to San Francisco will surely be a tri- umphal procession, as it will afford millions an opportunity to see the bell, so celebrated, who otherwise would never get the chance, It s peculiarly appropriate that the bell should be taken through the country just at this time, when Americans need to be impressed more than | ever with the sanctity of all that the old bell represents. Its prophetic inscription, taken from Holy Writ, “Proclaim liberty throughout all the land, and unto all the inhabitants thereof,” should be an inspiration to all who preach or teach today, for it means as much now as it ever did. The route over which the bell is to travel has not as yet been determined, but Omaha cer- tainly should be included in the itinerary. Se——— Liberty and Responsibility. At the celebration of the silver anniversary of the Catholic University of America Cardinal Gibbons discoursed with wmuch eloquence and force on the relation of higher education to citl- wzenship, and especially laid stress upon the re- sponsibility of the university to the public, The _mission of the church in connection with learn- ing, particularly through the Middle Ages, was referred to, and the growth of the democratic idea that came Wwith the spread of knowledge and enlightenment. But, sald the cardinal: The growth of democracy does not tmply that each man shall become & law unto himnself, but that he shall feel in himself the obligation to obey. If the en- acting power has been transferred from the will of the ruler to the will of the people, the binding, coer- elve power has been laid with greater stress of respon- wibllity than ever before upon the individual con- sclence. Unless men be taught that obedience is right and honorable and necessary allke for private iaterest and public weal, legislation will avall but little, the lawmaking power will become & mockery and the people themaelves will complain that legisiation has been carried to excess. To whom shall the obedlefice required be rendered? That order and harmony may con- trol, and without these elements soclety canmot | extst, It is essential always that somewhere be of smateur investigators, of inexpert eriminolo- | established the fountainhead of authority. In the best, example of demoeracy, this cemter is the people themselves, and from them should proceed the edicts for the proper regulation of the affairs of the people, and the relations be. tween individuals. Thus does the liberty of the individual bring with it the responsibility of the individual. Cardinal Gibbons is right in his conclusions, to the law, because that is the volce of the peo- ple, as spoken through the representatives to whom has been delegated the power and author- ity of the people. Happily for our prospect of continuing as a self-governing people, the in- grained reverence for law and order is suffi- clently potent to withstand in time of stress the temptation to break away from sound moorings. Our religion, like our politics, is varied, and not infrequently vague, but underneath all is a sound conception of justice that brought this nation into lite, and on which it has grown and will still grow, for its vitality is more than ever It is generally expected that electric lighting | {mportant. | | balance of power between the two parties tion of the presiding officer was the crucial test, and | the United States, the most noteworthy, it not | manifest, and its existence more mecessary now | than at sny time in all histery.

N SENATOR HOAR'E autoblographical volume of personal recollections, he describes the advent of Nelgon W. Aldrich into the senate amid exciting and spectacular events. It was just after the Gar- | fleld-Conkiing episode and the death of President Gar- field, the senate convening in October, 1881, with three seats. vacant, two of them from New York and the other from Rhode Island, and with David Davis of Tilinols, calling himself an independent, holding the The elec- with the senators awaiting induction excluded, the demoerats had the votes to make Senator Thomas ¥ Bayard of Delaware president pro tem, which they procesded to do. At this point a deal was made Ly the republicans in caucus with Senator Davis whereby he was to help Senators Aldrich, Lapham and Miller inte their seats and in return be himself made presi- dent of the sepate Wnder sgreement to give the re- publicans & majority of cach of the committees. This bargain was duly carried olt, the humer of it culmi- nating fn a speech of thanks by President pro tem David Davis, gravely assuring his august colleagues of his gratitude for the high homor which come to him unsought and without any obligations or con- ditions whatever. ‘We are marking progress all the time, and in no fleld more notably than n that of long distance communication. I commented not long ago upon the achievement of an oceanso-ocean telephone, but I saw something when I was in New York a few weeks ago that impressed me that neither are we standing still in the telegraph. The Associated Press has in- stalled In its New York City headquarters a new mechanism for transmitting printed messages so that the words are received and recorded sutomatically typewritten form. There have been a great many printing telegraph instrumbnts, and automatic send- ers and receivers, but most of them have been in the tamiliar form of the stock-ticker, producing long strips of paper ribbon impracticable for other uses. Sometimes these strips have beem cut into short lengths and re-pasted, and in other cases they have come in dots and dashes or perforations that had to be translated or re-written. This new mechanism produces ‘‘copy” just like what is given us by the operator whe receives by sound, and pounds out the message on a typewriter. “The Morkrun Telegraph Printer,” as it is called, reproduces words and letters by typewriter at the other end of a wire just as the telephone reproduces voice vibrations. The “printer”’ is fed with a perforated tape madle by & typewriter mechaniam with the usual keyboard, and operating on the same principle in b #iking the cireuit as does the perforated acroll of music on a plano player, The receiving mechaniem reverses the rocess, and thus tums out “copy” at the rate of about sixty words per minute, which is considerably faster than the capablilities of an average hand operator. The sender absolutely comtrols the typewriter at the distant end of the line with one extra key, which the carriage back when starting & new line. The re- port fs, therefore, recelved not on a ribbon tape, but on a roll of paper eight inches wide, and the “copy” i likewise reproduced at the sending station so that it may be constantly observed, and errors in trans- mission- quickly noted and corrected. While on the subject of proes reports, let me ob. serve that i = : i came to the office, made up the books, carried the packages to the car, through stush which reached to her boot tops, and then met with what seeinéd an insurmountable obstacle. The con- & passenger in her plight. finally induced him to take charge of the news letters and agree to deliver them, thus saving the day. Later In the month the Water- 100 newspaper was able to reciprocate the efforts made to protect it by establishing an emergen-y rvice for the protection of Des Moines,” The person who reads a newspaper is seldom in- rested in how the newy is gotten to him, just so he it, but this may help him to a better understand- of what storm havoc does and to possbssing him- more patience when the report is - m"" meager z Twice Told Tales A Mot Pace. ‘‘People gencrally belleve that the kaiser originated the striking phrase, ‘a place in the sun,' but, as a matter of fact, this phrase goes back to Bismarck, to Napoleon, to Louls XIV." The speaker was Dr. Albert Partington, the well- known Boston philologist. “The origin of the phrase,” he continucHl, “is lost in the mists of time. But I, myself, coined a corollary | to the phrase only yesterday.” Dr. Partington paused, chuckled and said, im- pressively: “They who seek & place in the sun are apt to get tanned."—Boston Transcript The Western league champlonship season for 1885 but be does not carry his postulate to fts ulti. | OPened at Kansas City with a victory for the Kansas Obedlience should be rendered | City team over the Omahas. According to reports. although the weather was cold and raw, 2,00 people witnessed the game. Steps were taken at an informal meeting for the erection of an exposition hall on the south half of the block between Fourtesnth and Fifteenth, facing Cap- itol avenue, which has been leased from A.

Henry Drexel has received by mail (and female) a beautiful box of roses from Napa City, Cal. They were somewhat withered when they reached Omaha, but served to convey the sentiment The enlargement of the B. & M. headquarters will cost $0,000. The bullding will be made a four-story structure and twenty-two feet added to the west side Passed through Omahe, going west. The Douslas County Asgricultural society held a meeting with James E.

American charity seems to be indefinitely elastic Springfield Republican: Rev. Dr. Charles H. Parkhurst is to be tried on a charge of conduct unbecoming & Chris- tian minister, because, so it is sald, he expressed the view during a recent po- litical campaign in California that pro- hibjtion does not always prohibit, and that, if a fight is to be made at all, it would be. wise first to attack ‘Whisky and champagne, and then, 1f publie sup- port is gained, to attack beer and wines. A letter expressing these sentiments is declared to have turned the scales in California against prohibition. The re- sult of the trial, before the New York Presbytery, may be expected to show how the presbytery stands. — AROUND THE CITIES. New York women promise to build & $20,000 home for newsboys.

The Belgian use of sheep dogs to seek out the wounded is yet another return to the methods of warfare of an earlier day.
