ISN'T it about timu that Omaha wai doing something towards making a coir tribution to the pedestal for Bartholdi't .atatuo of liberty ? The probability is , however , that nothing will bo done until Mayor Chase returns from the national capital. Meantime Lincoln it exerting herself itr this commendable movement. She has held a mooting ol her prominent citizens , nnd appointed t state committee of thirty , with Uovornoi Dawoo OB chairman , This committei will probably call on Omaha for a contri butioji.

Senator Van Wyck's resolution rein- ivo to Union Pacific dividends will meet with the hearty approval of the people jf the United States. The resolution provides that no dividends shall hereafter jo declared by the Union Pacific except rom actual not earnings , and no now stock shall bo issued or pledges , bo made on roporty or not earnings of the company without the leave of congress , except foi ho purpose of fundingand securing dobU now existing , or the renewal thereof , nnd a heavy penalty fine and imprison ment is provided for the violation ol iiny part of the act by any director or of- icor of the company. The Union Pacific company lias foi 'oars ' gone on and declared dividends , without payingany attention to thoreduc .ion of its enormous debt. The not earn < ngs of the company for 1883 amounted to $11,301,000. The dividends for the roar were 7 per cent , which is equal tc L4 per cent on the actual capital invested , L'ho dividends of course go into the pock ets of the stockholders , notwithstanding the company owes the United States icarly $50,000,000. principal and inter est. Notwithstanding the fact that it it realizing 14 per cent a year on ts actual investment , half of the nvcstmont being loaned by the government at G per cent , it has not had the decency oven to pay the interest on tn debt. The debt falls duo in 1895 , and ho company , through the annual report of the government directors , says that il will not ho able to meet ita obligations , unless the bonds loaned to it at G poi cent are refunded at . ' 1 per cent , on the rian of Iho bill recently introduced by Senator Edmunds , but really drawn up ry the federal railroad commissioner. That bill is simply n scheme to present to the railway kings millions of dol- ars in addition to the nmnj millions already donated to thorn , That bill proposes to postpone for sixty roars the payment of n debt which is due n a little ever ton years , and besides the extension of time it reduces the intorosl one-half. It would simply bo a mon. strouB robbery of the people for the ben. ofit of the railway barons. How such a man fas Senator Edmunds could bo in duced to foster such a bill is beyond oui comprehension. That it will pass we lava no fears , for it is too transparent or ts faco. The intention ot Sonatoi Van Wyck'a resolution in to pul ntop to the declaration oi dividends other than from actual no ! earnings , it having boon the game of the directors to declare big dividends snnplj for the purpose of robbing the road ant the govornmont. They have so handled ; ho accounts of the road that the appar ent amount of the not earnings has boor much loss than the real not earnings , the object being to make their payments tc the government much loss than thoj should bo. Another object of the rcuo utiou ia to correct this style of book , { ooping and compel the company to ap ? ly some of its not earnings to the pay- nont of iis debt , and to prevent it froir creating now debts by issuing now stool or mortgages. TIIK VOIVE Of OUJO. Hon. Charles Foster , late governor oi Dhio , has declared in a recent interview .hat Arthur , if nominated f r president , would not carry Ohio. The Cincinnati Cowmcrcial-Gazcttc declares that the republicans - publicans will got the electoral vote oi Jhio for their candidate , bo his name Ar ; hnr , or Logan , or Sherman , or Blaino. . or Gresham , or Harrison , or Hawley , 01 Fairchild. The assertion of Foster findc little support also among ropublicat members of congress from Ohio. Ar authorized report of interviews withmos of the republican congressmen from Ohii fails to sustain Foster's allegations , Judgi Taylor , of the Garflold district , oxpressci confidence that Ohio's vote , will bo givot to the republican nominee. Iloprcsonta tivo Taylor says that Arthur's administra tion has given almost universal satisfac tion , and thinks ho would carry the state tVlplionso Hart says that Sherman cat carry the state. Logan can carry it , am no can Arthur , whose administration has on the whole , boon wise and success ful. An to Arthur's administration Bays Hon. John W. McOormick , it begat under circumstances of poculidr ombarass niont , and has boon , to siy the least skillful , fair and just ; and the genera welfare and prosperity of the wholi country have been promoted. Gen. J. S Robinson gives it as bin judgment tha Ohio will cast ita vote for either Arthur Sherman , Logan , or any other ropublicai who should bo nominated. Of Pros ! dent Arthur's administration , Ilopreson tativo M'Kinloy adopts the language o the Ohio republican platform of las year , it "has boon wise , conservative am patriotic. It lias done much to destroy the factions within the party , to banial discord from its ranks , and to bring al the elements into bettor and'more liar monious relations. " Thuso expressions of sentiment ant opinion are manly and timely , and wil have their duo weight within Ohio , am well us beyond its confines. John 0. Now has is yet RU open question. Sccrotar Folgcr bays that ho has no knowledge a his resignation other than that acquire * from reading the newspapers. Ho ha received no uoiice that Mr. Now doe npt intend ia return to his duties a asaUtant secretary of the treasury. Mi Folder has informed the numerous appli cants far Mr. New * * shoes that ho doc not propose to think about a successc to Mr. Now until ho is informed olliciall that that goutlomau tr&nunittod hisreaif nation to the president. TUB suit ofAluno i'rtscou , the uctresi against the American News company circulating a nairipapor containing Ibol upon her character in which she received a verdict for $12,000 , but which was reversed by the court of appeal has icon the cause of ft bill being introduced n the Now York legislature providing that no newsdealer shall bo hold respon sible for any libelous article in the news- lapors which ho may sell unless it bo iroved that ho was aware of the charac- . , cr of such article. This bill will proba- jly bo passed , and will put an end to such unjust suits as that of Miss Prcs- cott. JlKFOltM 7W OUJt I'UllMO SCHOOLS. Prof. Tousloy , who Jias charge of the public schools of Minneapolis , recom mends changes in the system of instruction - tion which point in the direction which THE BKE has again and again recom mended. Ho leaves out , for the present , the matter of industrial education , which wo have lately considered , nnd taking , ho public school as it is , has sought out and exposed its weakest points. This o allinns to bo the scattering of forces , resulting in n vast deal of so-called in struction without thoroughness in any thing. On ono point the professor takes radical and advanced ground , and that s the prominence of the text book method ever oral instruction , which has eng boon ono of the most objectionable 'oaturos of our public school system. Ono reason , perhaps , why few educa tional directors have thus far favored : his problem has been because it is com plicated by the necessity of securing teachers of a high grade of clli- cioncy as well as of scholarship. Prof. Tousloy , however , speaks squarely and plainly in regard to this matter. Ho characterizes very much of -ho work imposed upon pupils at present as "a mental debauch , " and expresses a determination to "knock the bottom out of the text-books. " The substance of ; he charge which ho proposes is thus jivcn , approvingly , by the St. Paul J'rcss : To impart life , vigor , and the influence of personality to the education of the young ; to make the subjects taught n natural part of the experience oven of n child , instead of a more frag ment of text-book rote ; to teach gram mar by actual use of the language instead of by sot rules and formulas , such as Itavo tortured unhappy youth from time immemorial ; to make reading a matter of intelligence instead of n comical attack upon the selections which fantastic wits iiavo incorporated in most of the reading aooks in use ; in a word , to make teach ing a work of intelligent communication between a mind informed and ono strug gling to inform itself , and learning a part of ovory-day oxpericnco instead of an ex cursion into some twilight realm , to which only the teacher and the text-book maker have actual right of entrance. It is in such movements as these that Tun Bni : sacs promise of a reform that will ultimately adapt our public schools to the practical affairs of lifo , and cease to conform them to a not merely anti quated but a radically defective ideal. THE niVEll CONVENTION. The Mississippi river convention , now in session at Washington , is being at tended by ever five hundred delegates , among whom are many influential mon from the states in the Mississippi and Missouri valleys. The convention hat bcnn called in the interest of the Miss issippi and Missouri rivers and their nav igable tributaries , and it has an impor tant work to perform. Its recommend. ation& will bo acted upon by congressand the amount of money needed forjtho improvement provomont of our western water wayi will in a great measure bo determined by this body , representing at least one half of the population of the United Statesand , as has been said by a con torn porary , region that produces throe fourths of the staples of export and payt more than half of the national tax , What wo need is cheap transportation tc the seaboard for our vast products ol grain and provisions , and this can bo ob tained by moans of our vrator routes il they are sufllciontly improved. The water routes will afford competition with the railways , and thus cheapen trans portation. Of course attempts will bo made to secure appropriations for rivore that are not worthy of im provement , but all efforts in this direc tion will probably foil. The precaution has been taken by the government tc ascertain the number of rivers and har bors that are worth improving and whether the contemplated improvement is a public necessity. The local engineers have made a preliminary - liminary examination of nearly all the rivers and harbors and have in sixty-si ) cases reported that the localities are noi worthy of improvement and that tin proposed work is not & necessity , am they have reported in eleven cases tha localities are worthy of improvement , but that the improvement is not a publii noooasity. Those preliminary oxainina lions will save the government hundred i of thousands of dollars , fu r in the fuc < of these reports of the t.nginoors tin river and harbor committee \ > tlll not venture turo to appropriate money for these pro posed now works in response to ho urg ent demands of congressmen , vrhcr. th < first instance asked the surveys to t * , made. The wooding out of all the unworthy rivers loaves to the Mississippi and it tributaries a much better show -of secut ing an appropriation that will Ito commensurate monsurato with the importance at thes great waterways. THE war on wire * is uaumlug a noi and practical pluuo in the largo oosten cities. Private property owners are cut ting the wires looio from their buildings oud demanding a rental. A p.romiuun Philadpjphifm declares that the "Westeri Union must pay $500 ft year for iho rivilogo of running Its wires ever his oof , or ho will have every wire cut within n week. Others threaten A simi- ar course. As the private property wnors have rights which the law recog nizes and the telegraph companies must ospcct , it is likely that if they putsuo this plan they will force the wires un- lorground. llKrnKIENTATlNK MoiUtlSON , it IK 1C- lortod , will introduce his long anticipat ed tariff bill in the house tlmvreok. It vill provide for n horizontal reduction ol ho tariff of 15 or 20 per cent , provided .hat in no case shall duties bo reduced > oyond the ftg'urcs of the Merrill tariff ol .SGI. There will bo quite n number ol mportant additions to the free list , care icing taken not to make free article ! which , in the manufacture thereof , give employment to many men. The pro. vision that duties shall hot fall below those of the Merrill tariff of 18G1 , will , i is said , meet the views of Mr. Hewitt , GAi.LMAYr.ii , the actress who died the other day at Berlin , said : "I can nevi idmlt my ago in the evidence of my cor- ificato of baptism.
