Tun educational hraneli of tlio census
bureau has completed a partial state
ment of the condition of the public
schools in0 states and territories. The
states and territories are selected at
random and represent every section of
the country. A striking feature of the
bulletin is the marked increase in the
enrollment of the schools. The average
increase in population in the ! W states
and territories was -10.01 per census ,
while the schools increased 7- per cent.
South Dakota takes tlio lead with an in
crease of f > U3.yG per cent against 2o 1.00
per cent in population , Mnlnn , New
Hampshire and Vermont show a decline
in enrollment. In California , Connecti
cut , Massachusetts , Ohio , Pennsylvania ,
Wisconsin and Wyoming , the ratio of
increase in the schools does not keep jiaco
with the growth in population. Vir
ginia and South Carolina have made
notable strides in the educational Held
and also Arizona. Tlio sex of teachers
employed varies from 10 men to ! > -
women in Massachusetts , to 100 inbn to
101 women in South Carolina. Tlio
ratio of boys and girls in the school
ranges from 100 boys to So girls in Ari
zona and 100 boys to lit ; girls in the
District of Columbia. The avorngo in
the twenty states nnd territories is
Hllghtly in favor of the u'irls. The fig
ures are fairly representative , of the
whole country and furnish striking evi
dence of the growth of [ popular educa
tion.

The board of education bill that passed
the luniH ) last week provides that live nf
ity members hhall bo womon. Thia is a
novelty , not only so far as it relates to
Omaha , but so far as boards of educa
tion in gctiLM'til sire concerned , it is the
lirst instance that we have over heard of
where the law attempts to dictate to tlio
electors of what sex a school board
bhould bo composed and in what proportion
tion the male sox shall predominate.
Our present laws permit the election of
women to membership on boards uf edu
cation. It simply leaves tlio question
to the voters how many , if anv , women
shall bo chosen to manage the schools.
Why there should ho live women or
live natives of Nebraska , or live Catho
lics , or live Unitarians , wo fail to com
prehend. It is a matter of record that
whenever women have been nominated
for the school board in Omaha
they hnvo been defeated liy tlio
active exertions of women school mn'ams
and their foinalo friends. This certainly
was signiilannt as regards the sentiment
of women who take an interest in school
board politics , but there is no accounting
for the freaks of our peculiar legisla
ture.
A HOOM.V AllMY IWMWV/fl.V.S' :
Ono of the most important inea.-.iiros
enacted by the present congress for the
personal interests of army ollicors is the
bill providing for t.ho readjustment ol
tlio retired list. It provides for the
transfer of nil retired olllnors who have
reached or may reach thu ago oflil from
the limited to thu unlimited list , while
as a partial oflVet the lormer INt is
hereafter to be reduced from
its present maximum of100 tc
o")0. There wore other considera
tions recomniLiiiding this measure- be
sides that of increasing tlio aggregate
number of retired ollicors and thereby
furnishing a largo number of promotions
on the active list , Tlio original creation
of a disability list had nothing to do
with the qui-stioii of ago. The first re
tired list which was created after the
outbreak of the civil war , was limited to
7 per cent of the active list. Thmi came
an increase to the lixud number of . " 00 ,
and finally to-Ml. Compulsory retire
ment for age dates back only to 188:2 :
ami ono of its llr t victims was ( .Jonern
Sherman , although in his case full pnj
was retained.
Tlio new law is really supplementary
to the act of 1SSJ. A large proportion o
the ollicors retired fop disability result
ing from woimiis or ill health have \M \ > \ \
passed the ago of 01 , and hat
they remained on tlio active list they
would bo retired simply fop age , and for
the express purpose of increasing the
How of promotion. The new law simply
carries out the existing policy in nr-r-
mitting the transfer of such ollicors to
the ago list , and so opening the disabil
ity list proper to otllcers awaiting sucl
vacancies , the nuinbor of whom is largo.
There are now about ono hundred tun
ten ofllcors on the disability list whose
nges exceed 01 years. There are nisi
about sixty olllcers on the active
list awaiting vacancies on the disability
list. The transfer of the 110 o Ulcer ,
from the disability to the ago Hot ant
the reduction of the disability list toltSO
ns a maximum , will result In just nbou
enough vacancies on it to completely
clear the lists of the ollicers roeom
mended for retirement. In tins way the
desired promotions will bo brough
about , tlio army will got GO more dutj
olllcers , and the reduction In the ills
ability list from -100 to ! 550 will offset the
continuing operation of the transfer
from it to the ago list
The now law , together with the ae
passed by the present congress for th
retirement of oilicors in certain grade
uoxt iu the line of promotion if fount
isablodoii examination , open in al pro-
loi'ls of mlvtuii-iMtii'tit In rank and pay.

Kvory ropulnhlo newspaper in the
north , irrespective of political nlliliatlon ,
has rei'ogni/.cd the great ability and the
invaluable services of ( letieral Sherman
as a nililier , as well as his worth as a
ritly.cn. The pruss of I0uroo ) have no
corded him the highest praibo. It re
mained for the Atlanta ( 'iiintitiiliini , once
edited by tlio brilliant Henry \V. lirady ,
a warm friend of tlio dead hero , to at
tempt to disparage the fame and the
memory of ( ionoral Shernrm by raising
aquiMion of his sanilv. N'othing more
unwarrantable and despicable has ever
appeared in an American newspaper in
relation to any public man. living or
dead.
" \Vns Ouner.il Hhermaii madV" is
the quest ion nxked by the degcnor-
nto journal which has nothing to com
mend it save the ni < . , .inr.v of the coimee-
tion o ( the editor whom. Dr. Tnlnmgo
recently referred to as "the immortal
( Irady , " and it seeks to find warrant for
this heartless and indecent attempt to
depreciate the fame of the great soldier
in what il calls his occoatric actions at
the beginning of the war , his savage
ideas of warfare , and certain alleged .id-
missions or statements by him since the
conflict. As if wishing to palliate its
brutal innuendo the paper says : "It is
possible 1o lnl\o till.- view without under
rating Sherman's nbilitiusanil services.
Many great men have been to a certain
extent insanp. nnd at the wime time have
been leinaikable for intellectual bril
liancy and marvelous executive ability. "
The "eccentric tictions" of ( ioiiornl
Sherman at the beginning of the war of
the rebellion were understood by the
people of the north long before that con
flict was ended ns inspired by a wisdom
and foronight clearer and moro acute
than was possessed by any other man in
the nation. TIe nlono saw that the war
was to bo a long , bloody and hitter con
test. In IS'ili ' , in a letter written to his
brother , John Sherman , from Memphis ,
( ionornl Sherman said : "After a whole
yearof bungling tlio country has discov
ered that wo want more men. All knew
it last fall us well as now , but it was not
popular. Now liKI,000 ! ( mc-n are requir
ed , when 7011,000 was deemed absurd bo-
fore. I deplore the war as much as ever ,
but as the thing has to bo done , let the
means be adequate. Don't , expect too
oomui Mich a country or subdue such a
people in one , h\o or live yeiirs. " ' ( Jon-
oral Sherni'in was impatient uf the dull
ness that could not comprehend the
possible proportions of the conllict , and
of the delay and dallying which ave
opportunity to tlio enemy , and 'in his
ulain , blunt , impulsive way ho mani
fested his dissatisfaction.iiul displeasure.
There were people then , many of them ,
who doubted his sanity , o-nil some oven
his loyalty , but events soon and splen
didly vindicated his wlsd * m mid his
patriotism , llisto.-y will suy that at
tlio beginning of tlio war his was the
most far-seeing intellect , tlio clearest
mental vision on the union hide.
As to ( roiiornl Sherman's "savage
ideas of warfare , " they wore simply
thojo of every great and successful com
mander. After ho hud taken Atlanta he
wrote to ( iuiioral Ilallock , anticipating
the denunciation that would bo visited
upon ills order requiring tlio citizens to
leave : "if tlio people raise a howl
against my barbarity anil cruelty I will
answer that war is war and not popu
larity-seeking , If they want peace they
and their relatives must stop the war. "
SulMequontlywiien ho was asked by the
mayor of Atlanta and a committee of
citizens to allow the people to
remain , ho replied : "You cannot qualify
war in harsher terms than 1 will. War
is cruelty , and you cannot rellno it. You
might as well appeal against the thun
derstorm us against those terrible hard
ships of war , " Hut General bhorman
assured them that when peace came they
might call on him for anything ; that lie
would share with them the limt cracker ,
and watch with thorn to shield their
homes and families agninsy danger from
ovcry quarter. lie proposed to lot the
southern people know that as long as
they nmlntalned the war it would bo
fought by the union force in earnest ,
but no nmn would at any pu
rl oil of tlio conlllet have welcomed
peace more heartily than ho. The
stubborn defense uf Atlanta nnd
o i ih.i cireumstuu'09 ; of the sll't'i- '
turn tn.ido n ossary every operation
nf the union forces against that city , and
its < icoupntU. v nc a military depot ex
clusively wa-t fully justillcd. Atnoni ; llio
charges of sa'viigery inndo against l'en-
oral Sherman is that of having burned
Columbia. It Is wholly unjust , ( ten-
pral Sloomn , urh < > commanded the left
wing of the army iu the march to tlio sea
says Hint Shoi'limn was in no way r-
jponslblo for the burning of Columbia ,
and always expressed great regret til
the MilMji'lng"omiscd by it. Nothing wu *
further from his intentions than that
the city should be burnotl. "As a matter
of fact , " says Sloeiim , "the Inhabitants
of the place wore Iheuifolvcs to blanu )
( or its burning. They had filled
the streets \vilh \ cotton , nnd when
Shcrinnii's army inarched in , thinking , '
to propitiate the soldiers , they had way
laid tlioin with whisky , which they gave
to thoin in tin cups , as much as they
would tnke , until every ugly fellow In
the ranks was still uglier and half
drunk. " This testimony will bo ac
cepted by all fair-minded men as sutll-
fienl to dispose of the elmrge Unit Gen
eral Sherman was responsible fur the
burning of Columbia.
There were many Instances of the mntrl
nanimity of lionoral Sliorinan toward
the southern people , the recollection of
which should guard the memory of the
great soldier nimlnst , any reproach from
that source , lie was always willing to
protect those who asked protection ,
so far as it was possible con
sistent with the necessities of war , ami
suc.li as were ipiiot nnd pouceablo within
the lines of his army sullercd no wrong
that he could prevent. His occupation
of Savannah , Columbia and other points
boar witness to this. JJutif there was
nothing else to show the magnan
imous spirit of General Sherman
the terms ho offered to tiou-
eral Joseph K. Johnston would
be Milllcioiit. It is not to bo believed
that tlio otTorl of the Atlanta Coimliln-
Unit to detract from the just fame of ono
of the country's most illustrious soldiers
nndoiti/cns rollcets the fooling of any
largo number of the southern people.
Uut however this may be , it is duo to
the great man whose fame is a part
of the nation's glory , to bo preserved
as a priceless heritage for posterity , that
no attempt toitullytho fnmeor tojispar-
agohis memory shall bo allowed to go
unchallenged and unrebuked.
Tin : COST w nn : xv.t / / ; .
During tlio past two years the state
go\eminent of Nebraska cost the people
exactly ! MG ! > ! ) , Sli7.70. In ilotormhunif
tlio amount and character of the ap
propriations for the iioxtbioimial period
the legislature should consider well
whether thoMi figures cannot be reduced
without injury to the public SH--\ : ice , or
to any of the persons or interests de
pendent upon thu state.
Nebraska belongs' in the front rank of
American commonwealths. Hbo has
been able to keep well up in tlio race ,
but there are many directions in which
her government must bo expanded
hereafter to moot the demands of her
growth. I'\IP this reason the greatest
care should bo used to prevent tlio wan
ton waste of public inonoy on institutions
already well established.
The la > t session of the legislature cost
$ liidO. ! ( ( ) If the present session does not
save something on that figure it will bo
a blunder for which no reasonable ox-
cu.io can bo offered. There is no good
reason why Nebraska , should not come
nearer than . ? ! 11,000 to the amount ex
pended by a larger body for the same
Dtirposo iu ICaiihiis.
The seven executive depart incuts cost
$ lli9ii' ( ) in the aggregate , the judiciary
4'Ji',17l.70 ! , and the state university
$ :2 : ! < " > , ! " > < l. Those items should bo scru-
t mixed in detail. It will bo interesting
for the members to learn by whateurimis
chance several of the departments man
aged to spend precisely tlio sum appro
priated for their two years' ox pomse * , to
an even dollar. It is well worth inquiry ,
too , whether the state university cannot
bo kept witniii the limit of the income
accruing upon its rich endowment of
public lands , and the people thereby re
lieved of a cons : crnhlo tax.
For public institutions the state paid
in the last two years * , - ! ) " ! ! ) . It is
upon this colossal item of e.v ponso that
the largest saving can bo made. The
state has now provided for all classes ol
unfortunates , including a largo nuinhei
of political ne'ur-iJo-ttells. There is no
further need for improvements in public
buildings except to patch up a foiv ol
the bad jobs HKotho o at Grand Island
nnd Hastings , left by dishonest contrac
tors. The large biennial appropriations
for improvements nnd a part of the ex-
pc'iii-o of maintenance can and should be
saved.
The legislature might also por.doi
well on the expense of the board ol
transportation , which in the hist twi
yours cost $1.5.1(1 ! ) ( , dm anybody sluns
when and how that hoard over saved 01
earned 1 ! ) cents for the state ?
The cost of maintaining tlio stateprov-

1 'resident Harrison baa nominated
Hon. Chnrliis Foster of Ohio to bo sec

rather the favorite with tlio president

ceed the. late "WilliamVindotn. . both by
reason of availability and location. Ohio
has not boon particularly well favored
by this administration , and when the re
publicans of that stale presented the
muno of ox-Governor Foster for the
treasury portfolio circumstances were
largely on their side. The claim of the
state to this recognition was biipulo-
mcntcd by the cordial personal relations
between the pro-idont and thucniididatu

gress and four years as governor of
Ohio.Vliilointlio house of represen
tatives ho wasa member nf the two must
important committees , tho-o of ways and
means and of appropriations , and did
good service on each. Ills record as the
executive of his state was highly cred

by Mr. Feeler was ai a member of the
Sioux commission , lie was defeated for
congress last year by a small majority in
a strong democratic district.
Mr. Foster has been identified with
the republican party since its organi-/.a-
tion and is an cnrnust partisan. In bis
tlnancial views lie lias been , and pre
sumably is Htill , a disciple of Senator
Sherman , and his position regarding liio
tariff is in line with that of tlio lariro
majority of Ohio republicans. iMp. Fos

reason to hoi love that ho will inaUo a
careful and conservative secretary of the
truii"iiry. However , the financial policy
of the administration has boon pretty
olearly dulined , and tlio course already
marked out will undoubtedly bo adhered
to. President flarrison is accredited
with having shaped the policy , and if
that be so it will not bo affected , by the
change in the head of the dopirtmoiit. :
