THREE NEW UNIVERSITIES.

The educational facilities of America
will soon be materially augmented by
the addition of three great universities
which create an epoch in the educa-
tional world. They are the Stanford
university at Palo Alto, California, the
Clark university, at Worcester, Massa-
chusetts, and the Rockefeller university,
soon to be erected in Chicago. All these
institutions have been richly endowed
by the gift of millions, and will embrace
in their purpose the higher education
of our people along the lines of intellec-
tual progress. Great expectations are
built on the success of the Stanford uni :
versity, which is to carry out the prob
lem of industrial education on a grand
scale. 1t will be the first university to
cast of traditional exclusive literary
training and give pre-eminence to in
dustrial art. The Clark university, OF
Worcester, which opens its doors this
fall, is planned much after the
Johns Hopkins university, of Balti-
more. Its purpose will be to
maintain the highest possible
academic standards and give the best
inducements for research into the sci.
ences and arts. 1t will freely utilize
the experiences both of Europe and
America, and will adopt new measures
and innovations helpful to the highest
needs OF modern culture. For that
reason Clark university will supplement
rather than duplicate the work of the
best colleges of the east, and thus Sc
cure their good will and support. OF
the aim of the Rockefeller university
of Chicago no definite scheme has been
as yet devised. Neyerthele SIS, it is

such as the revolver, the razor and the
rope, while women, on the contrary,
seldom resort to measures which they
think will dishgure them, and there
fore most frequently seek death by
poisoning, asphyxia, or drowning. Con-
sidering the question, Is suicide an
evidence OF insanity? DR.. Pilgrim says
cases innumerable might be cited where
persons of undoubted sanity have COM
mitted suicide for the purpose of escap-
ing punishment, suffering or disgrace.
In fact, great many OF the suicides of
which we daily read, probably the ma
jority can not be considered due to
cerebral diseases, but must be looked
upon rather as the result of social laws,
combined with false training and edu-
cation.
The recently published report of the
board OF health OF New York city sup
plies statistics showing that during the
past eight years there has been no
crease in the average number OF sui
cides in that city, although the popula-
tion has been steadily increasing, and
the fact is attributed to the moral effect
of the law enacted in 1881 making
an attempt ut suicide crime. The
majority of suicides in New York are
persons of foreign birth, the proportion
being two-thirds foreign and one-third
native. The Germans, and more es-
Dacinllv those from tho north ern Dnrt
OF the German empire, head the list,
and about two-ffths of the number of
suicides are Germans. Italy and ire
land show falling off. while Bohemia
and Belgium show an increase. The
list of suicides for the past three
months shows no one of English birth,
nor was there suicide among the
enormous Hebrew population, drawn
chiefly from Russia, Hungary
and Poland. The number of suicides
in New York among those born in the
United States is relatively lower than
it used to be, and there are few cases of
self-destruction among colored men or
colored women.
The fact that the advance of popular
enlightenment and the increase in all
the advantages of u higher civilization
do not diminish the number of persons
who seek relief from the "slings and
arrows of outrageous fortune" in self
destruction, but, on the contrary, the
lists of such annually grow larger, may
well challenge the earnest attention of
moralists and sociologists.

ECONOMIC QUESTIONS.
The Use of Capital.

In economic discussions the attention
OF tho public has, of late, been directed
principally to the controversies be-
tween capital and labor; to the claims
that the produce is unjustly distri-
buted. And since the iaborers are con-
tinually demanding increased wages,
it is generally implied that tho share
OF the capitalist has been growing rela-
lively rs well rs absolutely. II this
deduction be true, it is only so because
the incessant augmentation of capital
has progressed more rapidly than the
numbers in the ranks of the wage
workers. Whether the laborer has
obtained more or less, it is evident
that the interest of capital is
steadily decreasing. In the west
the rate has dropped from II and
10 per cent to 9 per cent upon good Sc
curity, The city Of New York has re-
Gently borrowed money at less than ~
per cent, and there is no doubt that tho
national government could have OBJ
tanned all it desired at equally good
terms. About % per cent then, may be
termed the current rate of interest; for
what, in any case, is paid above that
amount, must be looked upon rs insur-
ance for the risk attendant upon less
solid security This is n clear lllustra-
tion of the tendency of interest to fall
with every advance in material pro-
gress. Capital that was invested years
ago, may still receive its large returns,
but the favorable openings have all
been occupied, and new investments
must be satisfied with small profits.
We may even now begin to in-
quire to what goal this fall in
the rate of interest is tending.
1t has been shown by the statistician of
the Interstate Commerce commission,
that taking into consideration all the
railroad stock of this country, the aver
age dividend is nothing. How then
are the investors remuneratedp BY
various schemes, other than dividends.
The manipulation and watering of
stock, on the one hand; construction
companies, soft contracts with fast
freight lines, on the other. But the
most prevalent method is the self-em-
ployment of the stockholder at fat
salary. Not only this, but the same
person often draws salaries for filing
at the same time offices of the main COM
pany and also of the dependent lines.
This may probably show the advantage
OF the possession of capital. This may
afford remuneration when the rate OF
interest has fallen to almost nothing.
While capital is indispensable to pro-
duction, its abundance may bring il
about that the chief advantage to be
reaped from its possession will be the
self-employment of the possessor.

THE growth of loan and building as
sociations in thb United States during
the past few years has been phenome-
nal. 1t is estimated, in the absence OF
reliable official dataeiue TO the fact that
many OF the states db not exercise super
vision over building associations, that
their number is not less than three
thousand, with capital OF at least two
bundled millions. The opportunities
afforded to men OF limited means to
acquire n comfortable home through
these associations have made thom de-
servedly ropular. Thoy have conse-
quently been of great benefit, and apart
from exceptional cases have been man
aged with rare skill and judgment.
That they will continue to multiply and
increase their usefulness there can be
little doubt. What is peculiar and re-
markable moreover about these build
ing associations is that they are con-
fined to no particular section OF the
country. They are found in the thiclily
settled cities OF the east as we'll as in
the rapidly growing towns OF the west,
and their influence is more potent in
New York, Philadelphia and Boston
than in Chicago, Minneapolis or
Omaha. In view of the great sums OF
money entrusted to building nssocia-
tions, tho various states are properly
taking cognizance of their existence.
Laws have been passed bringing their
operations under the supervision of
state officers and in other ways making
them as much amenablc to the Law $ rs
savings banks and other iiduciary
trusts. The extension of state control
over building associations, while it may
hamper their freedom of action, is
nevertheless protection to the share
holders and for that reason is regarded
with favor.

AMERICAN STYLE IN ENGLAND.

AMERICAN STYLE IN ENGLAND.
American methods and manners are
taking strong root in England. There
is harmony of design aud detail in the
official acts of both countries which evi-
dences a common parentage. Two re-
cent events illustrate this striking sim
ilarity. ~.
The Duke of Edinburg, while playing
the role of admiral of his mothers navy,
sent one of his majesty's high-priced
ironclads to the bottom, off the coast of
Malta. The wreck was the result of in
competency and royal imbccility, and
popular sentiment de manded that the
duke should be tried and punished
like the commonest mortal This
Cry did not meet with royal
favor. The duke was ordered home
to receive his reward, was greeted
with honors due hero instea of q
wrecker, and instead of being court
martialed, was decorated by MS mamma
with the Order of the Bath.
a year ago prominent public official
disappeared from Chicago. He had
robbed the public treasury. ri0ted on
the wealth of the community, and fled
to Canada when exposure came. In
dictment, trial and conviction had no
terrors for him. He bided his time,
knowing that its mellowing effect would
sooner or later work out his salvation.
And he was not mistaken. The success
of his rascally methods and his Remark
able escape made him friends among that
large and growing class which looks
upon money, however obtained, as the
Omega of human ondeavor. Disreputa-
BILE deeds were forgotten, witnesses dis
appeared and the sharp tooth Of justice
was plucked out by persevering friends.
Returning to his native shores, a few
weeks ago, his former prosecutor
greeted him cheerfully, and escorted
him into court like returned con-
queror. Even the judge could scarcely
restrain his enthusiasm until Il trihing
fine was imposed. He further honored
his guest by adiournlng court and join
ing with the crowd in congratulating
the victorious crook.
These instances serve to show that
American progress finds worthy imitat-
ors in the old world. America has her
McGarigle, England her Duke OF Edin-
burg. What more is needed to cement
the friendship of the English spealsi ng

THERE is a striking contrast between
the assessment OF railroad property in
Douglas county, Nebraska, and Potta-
wattamie county, Iowa. The returns of
the Iowa board show that there are one
hundred and twenty-five miles OF rail-
road in the latter county, with an as
sessed valuation OF one million seven
hundred thirty-four thousand one hun
dred and sixty-four dollars, or u fraction
less than fourteen thousand dollars per
mile. In Douglas county the state board
reports one hundred and six miles Of
road, valued at seven hundred and sew
enty-six toousand and eighty-three dol
lars, or an average OF seven thousand
three hundred and twenty-one dollars
per mile, nearly halt the assessed valua-
tion in Iowa. This is remarkable con-
trast TO say the least. 1t shows that the
railroads have few profitable friends

pLAygRoUNps FOR CHILDREN.

FAIRGROUNDS FOR CHILDREN.
Boston has recently opened great
playground for her school children in
one of the large parks OF the city. 1t
consists OF thirty acres, arranged for all
kinds of simple, healthful, children's
games, and on the occasion OF its dedi-
cation nine thousand school children
participated in the exercises. This
admirable example is to be fol-
lowed in Brooklyn, where a society
has been organized for the pur-
pose OF securing action by the
city authorities for the establish
ment Of Fairgrounds for the children.
Referring to the Boston Fairgrounds,
the Advertiser OF that city says: "Why
should not every city provide some
simple, wholesome and inexpensive
amusement for its little folks? Play is
no less necessary to a boy or girl than
pure air or nutritious food. 1t is an in
dispensable condition OF health. No
one doubts. or the number who doubt is
small, that municipality does no
more than its duty in main
tanning a board Of health
whose functions include the oversight
of drainage, attention to the sanitary
state of dwellings, and efforts to pre-
vent contagion. Even putting aside all
considerations of youthful pleasure, and
regarding the subject in it's bearings
upon public health. there are strong
reasons for claiming that such an in
stitution as the playstead is required in
order to promote the public health.
The wise physician will not hesitate 10
predict that the death rate among chill
dren might be noticeably diminished If
every boy and girl in the crowded CEN
ters of population could have spacious
playground"
The reasons for such an institution in
Boston or Brooklyn are doubtless much
more urgent than in smaller cities like
Omaha, particularly in the matter of
the health of the children, but from
the standpoint of pleasure and morals q
children's playground would be found
good thing in every considerable city.
1t would attract to the enjoyments of
its privileges hundreds OF children
who must otherwise find their pleasur g
in the streets and among associations
more or less corrupting and demoraliz-
ing. There is a suggestion for our park
commissioners IN the action of Boston
in providing a place specially dedicated
to the play and pleasures OF its children.
While they are considering plans for q
system of parks they may wisely and
properly give some thought to particu-
lar provision for the enjoyment and
welfare of the children of Omaha,
the number of whom not a
great many years nence will be as large
as the Juvenile population of Boston is
at this time. Undoubtedly Fairgrounds
for children will in few years be an
institution of most of the large cities of
the country. The plan has everything
to commend it. Omaha is about to take
its first stepin establishing breathing
places" for its population, and among
the valuable suggestions it will receive,
that which Boston has just furnished
should receive the careful consideration
it obviously merits.

Pacific and the locomotive engineers
and fircmcn has undergone Il change
for the better, and there is reason to
believe that peaceful settlement will
be had. We congratulate the brothe er-
hoods on this favorable turn of affairs.
A settlement of the dispute by arbitra-
tion will materially strengthcn the
orders in the estimation of the public,
and remove the danger of n strike,
which would have been costly if not
diastrous to the company and the men,
and to the entige west. The action
will exert Il far-feaehing influence in
favor OF arbitration as il just and hon
orable means of settling controversies

An Idyl OF the berkshire Hills.

An Idyl OF the berkshire Hills.
Albert II. Hardy, in Boston Globe.
A country boy by the old stone wall,
That keeps the meadow and road apart,
Stands handsome and manly and strong and
tall;
And sturdy is he as the maple tree
That's by his side. For Sam is young
And his honest heart is as light and froe
AS the bird that sings IN the summer skies.
He looks far off DER the distant hills,
While soft light shines in his hazel eyes;
And leaning there by the meadow wall,
He gives this sweet familiar call
'EIo boss no boss no bossp'
Now to manhood grown, and the bells sound
sweet
As the COWS come slowly from out the
wood;
And he leaves the wall and huries to meet
The mild-eyed creatures, for they all know
The hand that strikes them as they pass
Along the road where the daisies grow.
And each one stands by the cow-yard bars
Seeming we'll content with tho strong
brown hand
That milks them there meath the summer
stars;
And Sans eyes look love as he sings again
The Well-rememOereu, sweet refrain,
"Ho boss no boss no boss"
Twas day in June, such as poets love,
There by his side fair girl stands,
And the flying clouds in the sky above
Seem to play at forfeits with the sun.
How well sam knows that a lovers heart
Throbs meath his coat, and that every one
OF the clover blossoms in the field
Is breathing TO him an old love-song,
And that every bud a Joy can yield.
So the maiden there by the broken wall
Takes up and sings the old-time call,
''Ho boss no boss no boss!"
Once more Sam stands by the meadow bars
With his wife beside him, and her arms -
Enfold dear form, whose baby prate
Is sweeter to them than the brooks gay
song
As it flows away at the foot Of the hill.
Happy they wait, for they know ere long
The COWS will come from the meadow side
So Sam caresses his little son,
While the young wife looks with JOY and
pride.
And piping voice DER the old stone wall
Just breathes in baby notes the call,
''Ho bossl ho boss no boss.o
