The care of dependent children has
become of such Importance in the larger
cities and more thickly settled regions of
the east that it has been made the exclu-
sive subject of q charities conference held
in New York last week. Particularly in
New York City has this problem attained
an ever-increasing Importance, and it is
estimated that in the metropolis alone
the dependent children supported by
public OF private charity number $4,000,
or one in every 100 of the population.
This has resulted in bringing out more
sharply the evils attendant upon so
great a public burden as is here in
volved, as also the imperfections and de-
fects OF the system by which the de-
pendent children are supported.
The great number of these children
are committed to the care of institutions
administered by private persons, but
deriving the principal portion of their
from appropriations out of the
public treasury. This method, il is
claimed, has many advantages in its
favor, but it also offers temptations to
abuse that have not always been resisted.
The aim of every system for the care of
dependent children must be to avoid, on
the one hand, any extrayagant cost to
society, and on the other to repress any
tendency to parental neglect. while at
the same time giving the children such

care and training as will fit them TO be-
come good and Osaul citizens at the
earliest possible period Of their lives.
That many of the institutions fail to
come up to the desited standard is one
the complaints of those who took part
in the recent charities conference.
The incentive TO extravaganza is in
creased in New York by the fact that
the public aid is distributed among the
charitable institutions in the ratio of
the number of ~Sdependeuts within
their walls. This operates to re-
lax the strictness that should prevail
in receiving children applying for adj
mission, because each child, as it were,
brings with him the means of his own
support. 1t also gives the management
an interest in keeping those committed
to its charge longer than is absolutely
necessary or advisable, because his sup
port does not trench upon the revenue
from its private endowment. This will
ingness to receive applicants encourages
parents to throw their children upon
charity, when >perhaps a little extra
effort would enable them to support
them themselves. They are assured of
the good treatment of their children,
and the fact that tho institutions
are uominally private avoids the stigma
of pauperism which would otherwise
attach to such proceedings.
The remedy for these defects in not to
be pointed out in a word, but must be
gathered from careful investigation and
experience. They exist at the same
time in purely private and purely public
institutions as well as in those which
partake of the characteristics of both,
The best system will be that which gives
to dependent children care at least as
good as that they would receive at the
hands of dutiful parents in institution;
economically managed at the smallest
expense to the state.

THE difficulties encountered by the
United States officials who have been
engaged in securing the extradition of
embc zzlers who have fled to the Central
American states ought to impress upon
the State department the Importance of
concluding treaties of extradition with
those powers as soon as possible. 1t is a
matter for congratulation that inter-
national comfy has prevented the re-
fusal Of any request for the surrender
OF fugitives that has been made to the
governments south of us, but IA treaty

nal enemies. What assurance is there
that these happy conditions would pre-
vail If the continental policy were to be
realized? Who can say that sectional
antagonisms would not arise TO disturb
the peace ard menace the existence of
the union, or that foreign foes would
not combine to destroy the republic or
to weaken its growing power? Does
not history teach that the beginning OF
the downfall Of republics has been
coeval with the development OF the de-
sire for territorial aggrandizement?
The domain Of the United States is
capable of supporting several hundred
millions of people. We are at this moment
the greatest commercial nation OF the
world. Our influence upon the politics
and the civilization of the world is
greater than that of any other nation.
These considerations ought to amply
satisfy the pride and patriotism of the
present generation. We can wisely and
safely leave the question of a conti-
mental policy to be passed upon by our
pusterity.

Practical and Ornamental Education.
NeU YOrk Evening Sun.

The community Is under no obligation TO
prepare boys and girls for college free of ex-
pense to themselves and their parents. The
sole justification for compulsory education is
that the community wishes TO preserve the
continuity of the race in intelligence and de-
yotiOn To the principles upon which our
republic is founded. Included in this is the
principle of true equality, as far as a fair
primary education can make tho children OF
the poor and the rich, the strong children
and the weak children, equally able to hight
the battle of life whenc circumstances compel
their removal from the pubic schools at the
age OF, say, IA. q . The schoolmaster
who teaches a boy TO read write ana cipher

pick the lock of every safe containing knowl-
edge. The au-we cannot call him a true

pocketbook snatchers continue to ply

THE Municipal league OF PhiladeI-
phia is already commencing activity in
relation to the municipal election which
is to occur in that city in February next.
The league, which is organized in the
interest of good city government, lays
down the following as one plank in its
platform: "a close adherence to the
principle that neither the use of our
streets or street railways nor any other
municipal privilege should ever be
parted with except to the highest and
best bidders, and for a limited period,
and upon such terms and restrictions as
will promote the comfort and convent
ence of the people and enrich the public
treasury" The pertinency of this to
local affairs in Omaha is most apparent

A MAGAZINE writer, who claims to
speak from personal experience, asserts
that the attractions offered by Nebraska
to the members of the tramp army are
in no way comparable with the hospf-
tally OF other states east and west. We
can scarcely expect tramps to purchase
and read the magazine in question, but
we hope the good word will be passed
along the line. Nebraska has enough
to do TO take care of the tramps who
are unayoidably thrust upon her. She
willingly leaves to other states the honor
of most generously providing for the
tramp element.

they we're warranted in making their
demand upon the government as large
as they dared TO. Those who can show
that they are entitled to relief for losses
sustained during the war, they being
loyal citizens OF the United States,
should OF course receive it, but claim
ants who were disloyal should not be
recognized. It would be a manifest i'm
justice to the loyal people OF the coun-
try to allow those who gave aid and
comfort to the rebellion to recover for
the losses they sustained in a war which
they helped to make and maintain. 1t
is quite possible that legislation for this
purpose may pass congress, but it is at
least questionable whether it would re-
ceive the approval OF Mr.. Cleveland,
even though the south should de-
mand it.

THE termination of the coal miners
strike in England, the most formidable
and damaging ever known in that coun-
try, will speedily bring about, it is to be
expected, n much needed improvement
in general business. Tens of thousands
of miners were involved in the strike,
which was maintained for many weeks,
and as the short supply of coal compelled
many manufacturing industries to shut
down or curtail operations the labor
employed in these industries suffered.
In fact all interests were more or less
injuriously affected by this great strike,
and it is estimated that nearly
1000, 900 people have been deprived
of their usual support in consequence
of it. In the communities mainly de-
pendent on mining there is much desti-
tuition and great hardship, and it is easy
to understand the great rejoicing in
these places which greeted the an
nouncement hat the long contest was
ended and the men would return to work
at the old wages. The settlement of
this destructive struggle was brought
about by the intervention of Mr.. Glad
stone, who proposed a conference of en-
ployers and employees, which was
promptly acceded to by both parties.
Dignity was given to the conference by
the fact that it was presided over by Lord
Rosebery, a member of the government,
and through his judicious influence little
difficulty was found in reaching an
amicable settlement, under conditions
which promise that there will not be a
recurrence of trouble between the
miners and the mine for years to
come. An excellent spirit was shown on
both sides and the example of the con
ference will undoubtedly be followed in
future misunderstanding between en-
ployers and employees. The result can
not fail to greatly strengthen Mr.. Glad
stones hold upon the hearts of the work
ing classes of England.

platform, a majority of the members of the
republican legislature elected appear to be

with the party leaders which of the two
pledges is to count. But the legislative
members are not likely to desert their colors,
and so it is possible that prohibition has not
