We have received the report of the Sa
pfrintendont of Public Instruction for
1873, from the hands of Prof. McKen
zie. It is a neat volume of 412 pages,
and contains many valuable and sug
gestive statistics. From it we learn
that Cass county h.'vs 77 school dis
tricts, and . the value of . our school
property, was then, 834,r,2G.G0. The
highest wages (in 'G3) was $G0 per
month, and the lowest 615. Seven
schools had maps, globe, &c. 13 are
reported well furnished, with patent
desks, black boards, &c. Six school
houses had no black boards at all, and
the average cost of tnition to each
child was S0.83.
Prof. Wise calls attention to the need
of professional talent for the school
room and says "paying inducements
must be held out to invite the best tal
ent to come and settle among us."
Prof. Nightingale, in the Omaha re
port, makes these sensible suggestions;
"I wish that the number of children
between the ages of five and seven not
attending school, equaled the entire
numlier of children in the city between
those years; for until the Board of
Education established a true Kinder
garten system of training for the little
ones, I believe it would be far better
if no children were admitted to our
school under 7 years of age, and I
hope the time is near when the law of
the city and State will be so modified
as to make the legal school age from
7 to 21.
It is emphatically true that children
who do not commence a course of
study until they have reached the age
of seven years, are at the age of twelve
invariably in advance of those who
enter school at 5, besides having the
advantage of sounder physical constitu
tions and more mature minds.'
STRAIGHT TICKET.
The IIiiitALi understands that the
Democrats will nominate a Straight
ticket this Spring. We hope the Ite
publicans will do the same, not in mal
ice or rancor, on either side, not be
cause we think there are no good men
in the Democratic ranks, nor yet be
cause we think that every act a Re
publican government would do, must
be right and everything a Democratic
government would do would be wrong,
but because, it is in the nature of our
forms and theories of political life
that ends only can be obtained by
means of ,.arties, and it is better that
each party bears its own burdens, and
merits its own praises. This has be
come an axiom with us. We do not
mean to assert that there are no cir
cumstances under which it is advisable
to break up all existing parties nor
that cases may not arise in which indi
viduals would be justified in bolting
their party ticket on conscientious
grounds. That is an individual right
that we cannot and should not inter
fere with, but the leaders of parties
(and those who, to some extent, create
and form public opinion), who keep
themselves within their own proper
party limits and confine themselves to
elevating and purifying that party,
have always been found the most
trusty and best beloved by the people
in the er.d.
As a political question, there is no
doubt in our mind but that the next
great battle for principles in this
country will be fought out under the
old Republican ami the old Democratic
banners. Henry Watterson, of the
Courier-Journal, no mean judge, has
expressed his opinion to this effect;
the best judges of public affairs say so,
and if this is true the sooner we begin
to settle our own status and the status
of our neighbors, the better for both
of us. In no anger, with no personal
aims to forward, and with the kindest
of wishes for the success of really
good men, we still desire a straight
ticket. A burnt child dreads the fire.
and bjs excuse to his confreres and the.
salvo to bia own conscience is I prom
ised to da this, and was elected on this
basis. ; : , "' .
Elect - good, strong, honest men in
whom you have so much confidence
that you do not need to "pledge" them

vation for your morals and politics,
gentlemen and ladies. .
PLEDGES AND PETITIONS.
The Ladies have been circulating a
petition to the Mayor and Common
Council, petitioning them to raise the
license to $1,000, the City limit, also'
one to the County Commissioners, ask
ing them to raise the County license
toSSOO. ; ; :.
The Herald did not sign tbes be
titions. and for these reasons: 3:1,0
averace American would only be'ib'cr
happy to spend his days in signing' je
titions. It
Instead of signing a petition, the
Herald bow asks the Mayor and
Council of this city to take this license
business "into consideration, and to
raise the license to such a basis as in
their judgment and candor, will best
regulate the business of liquor selling,
diminish the saloons and the evils
resulting from the lavish sale of intox
icating drinks; remembering while so
doing, that they have wives, sons and
daughters, to whom and for whose
happiness they are responsible. The
Herald asks this in the name of good
reason, sound sense, and honest tem
perance. St. Nicholas for April, gives a "brand
new" verse from a little girl which she
wants "printed to get it out of her
head."
"Where Is the Winter? Cutler the snow.
"Where is the snow, then? Gone long ago. '
Where dirt it go to? Into the river.
My ! but it m;u!e all the fishes shiver."
It is so cute we re-publish it.
This is the way Dr. Holland of
Svribner's Monthly talks about the
new Temperance move:
"What in God's dear name was there
left them to do but just what they are
doing and what you condemn? The
whole business has been left to God
and the women, and the latter are
praying in the churches and in the
streets and pushing on their divine and
peaceful crusade because the men of
America have failed to do their duty.

ITarpfr for April is at hand. We have not
time to notice all the articles in detail before
going to press. "The secret reirions of the
stage." by olive I,ogan. will interest many read
ers both' from the matter contained in it, and
on account of the writer. The first pn per from
(ien. McClellaa, on "Army Organization" is
very interesting, r.nd the series wili no doubt be
largely read. "My mother and I." from the jwn
of Mis's Muloeh. author of "John Halifax," and
"The Woman's Kingdom." just such a beauti
ful, home-like story as should please all

mind from t Ids writer's works. "lJccollcctions

and ther well known writers. -Mr. Khodes.
whose character sketches have long been an at

number "A Rreakfast witli Yictorien Sardou."
the vivacious French dramatist. M. Sardou is
little known in the United States, and not very
favorably. His best known play is "Uncle
Sam." an extravagant burlesque upon American
societ v. which failed utterly nioii the New
York stage last year, but met wiiti such favor in
1'aris that it Is still running there. After a per
sonal view of the great jifavwriht. who is lo
cally distinguished also as the Mayor of Marly,
his ilaily life and manner of woi King. and ec
centricities, are touched upon, and a passing
criticl-sui uiMin his luimcrons plays is enlivened
by piquant anecdotes ami slag"" gossip, which

theme of a very attractive sketch by t'rof.

Mr. Junius Henri llrowne, who has occupied
himself during the past year in analyzing the
fair sex, and exploring the most hidden depths
of their nature, has finally completed his stud

article of the series under the title "Women as
Women."
The study of women is a diflioult one, but
another philosophical essay which follows is
upon a subject even more mysterious and

viewed by Dr. Coan. not in a dim religious light,
but in (he rather glaring light of science.

Jake Hoffman, democratic treasurer
of Stanton county, tlie prentleman who
recently went down to Omaha, and in
a low nepeo brothel spent the night
with a drunken prostitute and came
away the next morning less i?l,400 of
the state school monies, has returned
to Stanton and is agaiu quietly domi
ciled in the bosom of his dear wife
and iamily. Had Jake llolfman leen
a straight republican, living in a
straight republican county, and been
duly elected and qualified as a straight
republican county treasurer, every
democratic newspaper in Nebraska
would have lifted their pen3 in holy
horror, and in terrible accents told the
story of republican corruption in high
places; but because Jake Hoffman is a
democratic office-holder, not one paper
in the broad state has or dare say one
word in condemnation of the disgrace
ful outrage. They are as silent in this
matter as the halls of death,-and why?
Because Jake Hoffman has been and
is now a democratic office holder in
high repute in his party. This and this
only is the reason the Omaha Herald,
whose editorial chair is less than two
blocks from the scene of the disgraco
of his democratic brother, is silent, and
other demecratic organs of small
calibre snuff danger in th air from the
expose, and reserve titer little stock
of ammunition to sin ok? out Bob
