lss7-ls7l. The showing for the west is
very little, il any better. Its divorces
in the last FIVE years, since are three
and one-half times the number given for
the five years, 1S67-IS71, inclusive. In
view of the fact that the population of
the west increased nearly four times as
rapidly as in the south, the real average
increase is larger in the latter section.
The record of all localities, how
ever, is so bad that nothing is
to be gained for any by COMPARE
sons of this sort. The whole showing
clearly points out the necessity for re-
form OF the divorce laws, so that they
shall discourage, rather than stimulate,
the severance of the marriage tie. How
this result can best be attained is the
serious question, complicated by numer-
Gus considerations. Undoubtedly a
uniform divorce law, enacted by con-
gress, would have the effect to diminish
the number of divorces, but there is
very strong opposition to al
lowing the national government to leg
islate upon matters Of this nature. The
regulation of marriage and divorce is
held to belong wholly to the states, to
be determined by the people of each
according to their own notions of what
is expedient and desirable in the inter-
ests of their social and moral life.
When an Illinois senator proposed to
amend the federal constitution so
as to authorize congress to enact
divorce laws, the question of per-
mitting the general government to
interfere in this matter was widely
discussed, and the weight of opinion
was against the proposition. We have
no doubt that were the subject sub
mitted to the calm Judgment of the
people they would not, while doubtless
acknowledging the desirability of a
uniform divorce law, approve the pro-
posal that congress should legislate on
this question. If this view of the popu-
lar opinion be correct, those who are
agitating for reform of the
divorce laws should address their
efforts to improving these laws
in the several states. We
have no doubt that agitation which goes
beyond this will be found to be waste
of time ana labor. There can be no
question in the light of the statistics
presented by the national league of the
great Importance OF this subject in its
social and moral bearings, and the
effort in behalf of reform should be Wig
orously and Dersistently prosecuted.

She loves the mountain and the valleys low
From sky to sparkling stream,
She loves all things that poet natures love
Or artist natures dream.
She finds delight in natures varied moods,
She loves the sun and flowers,
But most of all think her artists soul
Finds Joy among the flowers.
She walked with nature and the flowers
looked up
To cheer her as she passed.
She saw their glores and with skillful hand
She chained their beauties fast.
She could not hold their fragrance that was
lost,
Rut all the loving care
With which she wrought, has fragrance born
of love
To make the world more fair.
l know the skillful hand that paints 80 we'll
A windtossed, wildwood towr
Would be a blessed hand to calm and soothe
A weary, pain fraught hour.

Sometimes to silence awed,
Sometimes in strains of rapture breaking
forth,
Is near to Natures God.

HOMES FOR THE HOMEL ESS.

Chicago is experiencing a great
exodus of residents from the business
districts into the suburbs. The change
beneath it is the natural desire of peo-
pie to own and occupy their own homes.
The advantage of living near the work.
shop or place of business will not weigh
in the balance against the disagreeable
crowding and confusion of flats, and the
impossibility of securing domestic
privacy and peace. Life in such quar-
ters Is continual protest. 1t is an in
centive to practical economy in order
that sufficient means may be secured to
lay the foundation of the home, and ac-
quire that independence and happiness
which cluster around the hearthstone.
The movement in Chicago has had it's
counterpart in Omaha for years, on a
smaller scale. The magnificent heights
and charming valleys surrounding the
city are being dotted with the elegant
homes of the rich, and the cozy cottages
of people of moderate means. The res
ident population is steadily moving
away from the noise and hustle of traffic
into the purer atmosphere north, west
and south, where homes can be secured
at moderate cost, with grounds to adorn
and make the surroundings attractive.
Freedom from the landlord is only one
of the benefits enjoyed. Every improve
ment made, every flower and shrub and
tree planted contributes to comfort and
happiness and are living evidences of
the taste and thrift of the occupants.
The facilities for reaching suburban
homes are keeping pace with the move
ment. The Belt Line local trains have
contributed largely to the growth of the
northern and western sections, benefit
ing alike the company and the people.
Protiting by this experience the Elk
horn and the Omaha roads have put on
local trains to encourage the upbuild-
ing of the country tributary to their
lines. The street car companies are
reaching out into the suburbs in every
direction, and with the completion of
the lines projected, every section of the
city will have convenient and rapid
transit TO and from the business center
These facilities will accelerate the
movement of residents toward the west
ern limits of the city. 1t cannot re
resisted or turned aside. 1t is the
tidal wave of home builders,
the realization of hopes and aspirations
long deferred, and the qualification
which prosperity brings. Here they
can enjoy the comforts of life without
jostling. Schools and churches are
convenient, paved streets penetrate
the districts most sought for, and water
and gas are within reach. Every desir-
able convenience for home can be had
free from the clatter and dust of busi-
ness.
Suburban property in Omaha is un-
surpassed for homes or as means OF
profitable Investment. Its future is as
secure and its growth as certain as the
surrounding hills.

A LITTLE CoMMoy SENSE.


We are told that our real estate deal
ers were struck with paralysis when it
bee anne known that the new postoffice
loca ation would remain in doubt This
is almost too absurd for serious discus
sion. Suppose that 1T was known to-
day just exactly where the new post
office will stand, what effe ct would 1t
have on the real estate market, except
perhaps upon the blocks Immediately
adjoining2 Suppose 1t be located
tomorrow in the Planters house block,
what would be the effect on the general
reol estate marketp 1t would take fully
two months to condemn the prop
erty and pass upon the titles.
II any Of the titles are defective
or the owner of anylot appeals
from the appraisement, it might take
six months before dollar could be paid
over. In any event it will take from
three to four months to prepare the
plans, and at best the foundation
may be begun by the time winter
sets in. Are all parties who have prop
erty to buy or sell in Omaha holding
back for the postoffice location? Is this
city swinging on one pivot, and is the
coming postoffice that pivot?
Candidly speaking, what great build
ings are being held back in the i'm
mediate neighborhood of the Hitchcock
and Folsom lots?
Will Judge Crounse pull down his
block and build palatal structure on
the sitep
Will Judge Neville favor us with great
blocks of granite and cut stone on his
Sixteenth and. Seventeenth street lots
this season? If SO, there is a great sur
prise in store for Omaha. Is not all
this talk about the terrible damage to
our building prospects the sheerest non
sense? Sixteenth street is bound to re-
main a great retail thoroughfare, and
those who have faith in the future of
this city and the nerve to back their
faith with their own money
and the money they can procure
on a building loan are not likely
to shrink back upon the possible loca-
tion of the postoifice ON upper Farnam,
especially in view of the fact that it
will take at least FIVE years to complete
the building.
The only parties that may be affected
by the delay are spectators who hold
options on lots that are located in the
neighborhood of competing blocks.
That class of people seldom build any
thing.

DIVORCE LAWS A FAILURE


The discussion OF reform In the di-
vorce laws Of the country will be mate
rally helped on the affirmative side by
the statistics given in the annual report
of the National Divorce Reform league,
recently issued. The most striking and
significant fact presented is that while
in the last twenty years the population
of the country has increased sixty per
cent, the annual number OF di-
vorces granted mounted from about
ten thousand to over twenty-five
thousand. No one can have any diff
Guilty in drawing the obvious moral Of
this appalling increase in the number
OF marriages annulled annually. 1t not
only shows an alarming extent of in
difference in this country to the sacred
ness OF the married relation, but it IL
lustrates also the debasing influence on
society of lax divorce laws.
The south shows the greatest
average, the number of divorces
in that section for the last five
years having been over three
times the number granted in the years

grounds for the verdict. Her revenge was
terrible and her remorse has been great, yet
sympathy tor her has been so strong that the
people are not disposed to punish her, and

A SUBSIDY DELEGATION.

IT. is unfortunate that. with two or
three exceptions, the delegates ap-
pointed by the president to represent
the United States in the congress of
American nations are in favor of subsi-
dies to private ship building. 1t is not
supposed that this question will neces
sarily figure in the congress, but men
who are welded to a subsidy policy as
the only way in which the shipping in
terest of the United States can be re-
stored are very likely to have their
visions blinded to other means
of enabling this country to secure the
transportation facilities required for
the better carrying on of its trade with
other countries. Doubtless the repre-
sentatives of other American nations
will tell the congress, as our commits
sioners who visited South American
countries several years ago were told,
that the United States Is at disad-
vantage in not having lines of rapid
steamers plying between our ports and
those OF other countries in the western
hemisphere. The fact is obvious,
and 1T presents a problem
for which there must some
day be found solution. This country
cannot enlarge it's trade as it should do
until it is in position to carry it under
its own flag. But the attainment of this
position must be brought about by some
other means than that OF paying SUBJ
sides out OF the public treasury. No
political party could survive the adop-
tion of policy of this kind. 1t will be
unfortunate if the representatives OF
the other American nations are misled
as to public opinion here on this ques-
tion by the attitude OF our delegates in
the congress.
There appears to be fair promise that
this congress will have good results. 1t
is beginning to be regarded by the
financial and commercial men of the
country with great deal of interest
An association of bankers and business
men has been formed in New York to
cooperate in the work, and an effort
will be made to give the congress a
practical character, at least to the ex-
tent OF discussing practical matters.
And indeed not much more
than this can be done. The pur-
pose of the congress is to eff
feet e better international understand
ing, which is u step towards wiser laws
and larger trade. We shall learn
through this congress more of the pres
ent condition and the possibilities Of the
countries represented in it, and they
will get better knowledge of the
wealth and resources of this country.
1t is hardly possible that the enlarged
information thus obtained can fail to
have good results, but the influences of
the congress may be easily impaired if
it shall be made channel for the ad-
vocacy of the fallacy that commerce can
be created by the payment Of subsidies
and that trade may be fostered by arti-
| fetal stimulants.
