The decision of the local honrd of di
rectors ( / the World's fair to admit the I
itihlio to the grounds on Sunday , at half
ho price charged during the week , the j
HilldingB to bo kept eloped , Is a conces- j
Ion to the popular demand for the open- i
ng of the fnir on Sunday that will
lardly prnvo satisfactory. A great ma- >
orlty of the ] > ooplo who ask that the I
air bo opened on the first day of the
veek , because they would thereby bo
enabled to visit It without loss of time ,
vill not bo dispos-ed to pay their
uonoy to simply look at the buildings ,
ntercsting as these structures undoubt
edly are from an architectural point of
low. The great body of working poole -
) lo in and aiound Chicago , in whoso bo-
mlf of Sunday opening is chielly urged ,
vould llnd small gratification in inspect-
ng the buildings when everything they
contain is shut out from view , and it
vould lie surprising If they did not very
generally refuse to c-Jiitrlbulo to the on-
orprKon such terms. It would bo
tltogolhor natural for this class of the
Miople to resent an arrangement which
iroposes to hike their money without
Diving an equivalent in return.
The proposed plan , if it is allowed to
xj carried out , will undoubtedly some-
vhat increase tlio revenues of the fair ,
nit it will make no such contribution too
, \\o \ \ ilnnnuiul success of the fair as could
) os counted upon with certainty If the
opening was as complete on Sunday as
on every other day. It is evident that
n order to insure llnancinl success the
mumgcmcnt cannot alTord lo i-acrHico
my opportudlty to obtain revenue , for
inder the most fnx'orablo conditions rea
sonably to he expected it is very ques
tionable whether- all the obligations
entered into can bo met. The amount
vhich the exposition company is
expected to repay , derived from
oans and stock subscriptions , is
about 915.000.000. The expenses are
estimated at S 15,000 , a day , which
mav bo somewhat reduced and
will perhaps bo met by the receipts from
concessions. Assuming that the loans
md slock subscriptions ro lo bo repaid
ind that the gate receipts will not bo
Irnnn upon for the running expenses ,
ihero must bo a daily average income
Tom admissions of over $80.000 for the
1S1 day& from May 1 t3 Njvombur 1 ,
Sundays included , or a paying attend
ance of considerably more than 100,00 ! )
per day on the average for six mouths.
Is it not manifestly improbable that
there will bo such an average
attendance , which would make
a tolal for Iho six mouths
of about 110,000,000 paid admissions. On
the opening day of the fair the paying
attendance was over 155,000 , and doubt
less this number will bo exceeded on
many days before the close , but it is safe
to say thai during Ihe greater part of
the time it will not be reached.
From purely practical considerations ,
the question of Sunday opening is ob
viously one of great importance to the
fair management , but it is oven more
important from , an educational and
ethical point of view. Not t-j open 'the
exposition on Sunday will unquestionably
deprive many thousands of people of
the opportunity to derive such in-
Htruclion from the wonderful exhibit as
it is to bo desired Ihey should obtain ,
and in thus debarring them from this
privilege many of them will bo led to
pass their time and spend their money
to their injury. An open fair on the
first day of the week would be bath a
moral and an economical advantage to
tens of thousands of working people in and
around Chicago. It is possible that the
decision to open the grounds on Sunday ,
if carried out , will operate as tin enter
ing wedge leading ultimately to throw
ing open the exhibits , but the throat of
members of the national commission to
appeal to the courts if necessary , in or
der to prevent this , diiourugos the
hope that the popular demand for Sun
day opening will finally he complied
with.

In a recent address by the United
States commissioner of education ho in
dicated the immense Hold that is open.
if not ready , for the university extension
movement. Concerning the sejpo and
olTcelivenoss of our system of education
bo staled that nee ) i ding to the mosl re-
ceul statistic. ? those of 181)0 ) Iho lotul
number attending public and private
schools of the three orders , pri
mary , secondary and higher , was 14- ,
51 ,778. This is Iho entire number of
different pupils that attended school ut
any time during the year. It amounts to
over 211 per cent of Iho entire popu
lation ot the country and makes a go. j
showing.f f ( > ! ' iis , inasmuch an 1 ! ) or 20 per
cilit Is to bo regarded as a first-class
school enrollment. For instance , the
empire of Germany enrolls as a whole
a llltlo less than 111 percent , although
Bomo of its stales , especially Saxony ,
Prussia , Baden and Bavaria , have about
20 per conl each. Franco and Great
Britain enroll each 10J per cent ,
Switzerland 1H ! , Sweden ! . " } , all othoi
European countries being below those
figures.
Thus Iho United States is in the lead
so far as enrollment is concerned , but
there are other items to bo considered ,
as the length of annual school session ,
regularity of attendance and the quality
of Iho Instruction. The commissiunoi
stated that in Iho United States UK
actual average attendance is not quite
two-lhirds of Iho onllro number enrolled. .
The average annual session varies fron
oighly-elghl days in the Gulf state.
to ItiU days in the north Atlantic states
In most of the cities It is 200 days , whlcl :
is thought to bo the normal standard
But the average annual attendance o
our 1 1,500,000 is only eighty-six days oui
of the ideal 200 days that pupils In goot
health ought to attend. The Europcui
average would bo much bettor than oun
In those statin that are in earnest aboir
education. Germany and Franco wouli
show double cur number of days attendance
anco for Iho average pupil , and Great
Britain about 50 per cent more that
ours.
It appears that not over 1 per cent 01
the young men and women of the conn
try are i ei-eiving the higher inatruo
lion of colleges and professional schools
and Iho proportion is prooably oven lesi
than 1 per cent , It is evident , there
fore that the university extension move
incut would have an ubuudunco of rav
material to work upon oven wore
It limited to the youth o ( the country.
With regard lo this movement , which
has been very succoosful Ir. Kngland and
has already proved beneficial In this
country whore put In operation , Com
missioner Harris said that U has the In
estimable advantage of educating the
people nt large , who urn coming to have
a common school education universally ,
a knowledge of what Is done In the
highest education as well as a respect
for Its methods anil results. One ot the
dangers of popular elementary educa
tion Is Ihus mot and neutralized. The
unlvnrslly extension movement meets
everywhere the so-calloil self-educated
men and helps to correct any one-sided-
ness of views that may exist.
This movement bus made marked
progress in the eastern portion of the
country , and , although It has not escaped
criticism ami opposition , it is advocated
by the ablest educators , and , there Is
reason to believe , will become a perma
nent and most important factor in the
American scheme of education. Cer
tainly there is an ample field for it , and
unlimited possibilities of good.

From present Indications the Ne
braska manufacturers' exposition , which
opens In this city one week from to
morrow , will bo oven more successful
from every point of view than the one
undertaken lust year. The public is
taking un appreciative interest In the
enterprise and the attendance promises
to bu largo enough to guarantee linan-
clal success. The manufacturers be
longing to the state association are
showing a deeper interest in the event
and the exhibits will be more numerous
as well as moro elaborate. Many lines
of Industry not Included in the display
last year will bo represented this season
nnd many additional features are pro
mised which'Will crreatly enhance not
only the practical but the arllstlc value
ot the exposition.
The coining exposition may bo re
garded as illusfutlvo of Iho growth of
Iho homo patronage movement in Ne
braska. This unvoniont had its iuccp-
lion something over two years ago and
through the persistence of its promoters
has bee ) ine one of the recognl/od com
mercial institution ; ! of the stale. Manu-
fuetnring in Nebraska has undoubtedly
been stimulated as the result of the
olTortrt of Iho association and the people
of the state have bjcu educated to the
point whnro a large majority of them at
least prefer Nebraska made goods to
those of foreign nunufuuturo.
The exposition this year will bo
another object lesson in the homo
patronage movement. Like its pre
decessor of a year ago , il has been under
taken for the purpose of convincing
Nebraska people that Nebraska manu
facturers are sulHciontly well equipped
to successfully compote with rivals in
older and more favored stales. Thai
the cxposilion will draw the manufac
turer and the consumer closer together is
not to bo doubted , and that it will pro
mote the mutual interests of both classes
cannot bo gainsaid.

The recent elTort of the printing ring
lo raid Iho stale treasury is one of the
moat brazen nnd barefaced attempts at
robbery that has ever bjen recorded in
the history of ring-infested Nebraska.
The bids now on file with the State
Printing bjurd have been carefully
Hcrulini/.ed and compared with tlio
prices mid by the slate for Ihe sumo
classes of work Iwo years ago. The re
sults are simply astounding. Tin : BKr.'s
frequent references lo Iho attempted
steals have by no.moans enlightened the
people of the state as to ttio true oxtout
of the frauds sought to bo perpetrated ,
but we are enabled this morning to
print u statement showing in detail the
plot of the conscienceless members of
Iho ring.
When Ihe bids for state printing were
opened last week and Iho prices com
pared it was n itieo.l that the figures of
the several printing firms wore suspi
ciously close together. A protest was
filed by disinterested parties and the
hoard held Iho bldn for further investi
gation. The inquiry revealed the ex
istence of the combine , and , in order that
Iho people of NebrasKa may realize to
just what extent it is proposed to loot
the state treasury , some of the figures
are quoted.
Two years ago the Slutc Journal com
pany was paid 8SH10 for printing 1.500 as
sessment hooks of four quires each. The
same company watlio lowest bidder
this year and it asked $1,800 for iden
tically the atimo work. The state two
years ago was only required to pay 8288
for 225 tax books of eight quires each.
This year the pool propo-.es to extort
$2,880 for doing the same job. Two
years ago the H'ato ' Journals printed 30- ,
001) ) county treasurers' tax receipts fo- ;
$87.50. The sumo concern was the low
est bidder this year , but it now wauls
$000 for the sumo work.
The list may bo continued indefinitely ,
bul one other instance may bo cited.
Two years ago the Suite Journal was
paid $110 for printing ItOO books of
teachers second grade certificates.
This yrar the lowest bid for the same
work was 81,500. One hundred and
fifty books of teachers third grade cer
tificates cost the state two youiy ago $15.
This year the same number will cost
$750.
$750.The
The iloms quoted show an attempted
robbery of $10,88 ! ! and this upon a par
tial comparison only. A comparison ol
the ontlro list would swell tlio figures
to something like $25,000.
The people of Nebraska will not bu
surprised to learn that Ihe State /oiinm
is the recognized loader in the attempl
lo break Into the state treasury. That
paper is today the loudest-moulhcd de
fender ol Iho gang of hoodlors which baa
for years plundered the state in the mai
ler of furnishing supplies lo Iho slate
institutions. Il has discredited every at
tempt made by honest man to bring guilty
parties to justice. It has sought to belittle -
little every investigation , It bus cast
odium upon the men who huvu honestly
ndeuvored to got at the truth , and it
has reviled thooo who have dared tu
publicly proclaim the guilt of the men
who have robbed the people of the state
in years past. It is today the warm de

The present week will make an excep
tional demand upon the attention ot the
music-loving people of Omaha. Tomor
row evening the May festival under the
auspices of the Apollo club will bo in
augurated , and the four concerts to bo
given by Sousa'.s superb concert band of
fifty members and the Now York Sym
phony orchestra of sixty-live members ,
conducted by Mr. Walter Danmweh , to-
golher with a mtnbcr of vocalists and
fiolo instrumentalists of international
repute , promise a musical season
that cannot fall to ho memora
ble. It is entirely unnecessary to
enlarge nt length upon tno merits of
the splendid organizations that will visit
this city for the first time this wook. It
is presumed that nohady who keeps in
formed regarding musical mutters need
be told that the Soitsn concert band is
the finest organl/ation ot Its kind in this
country and , perhaps , has no superior
anywhere , while the Now York Sym
phony orchestra , under ltd faunna con
ductor , has long enjoyed an unchallenged
pre-eminence. The programs of the four
omecrls are of the highest order of
excellence , insuring a musical feast such
as few of our people have over enjoyed.
This is by far the moat ambitions
musical enterprise over undertaken in
this city and our citizens should gen
erously manifest their appreciation of
this fact. In assuming so expensive nu
undertaking the Apollo club has shown
its faith in the musical Interest and in
the liberality of Ihis community , and It
is to bo hoped thai the result will justify
this confidence. The club is an Omaha
institution , carneslly working for the
promotion of musical culture here , and
it is entitled to the heartiest and mosl
liberal support. As Tun IJin : has here
tofore remarked His notciuughto stand
by and commend its ollorts and its en-
urpri.se. It must have suhjlantial aid.
riioro has never boon so favorable an
ipportnnlty for our eiti/.ens to show how
well they appreciate the Apollo club as
.H now offered andit ! is to IKJ hoped that
t will be most generously improved.
Tun turmoil i'es\iltlng \ from the arbi

dered Iho stopping of trains the sheriffs
who chained up j the cars wore committed -
mitted lo prisW and heavily fined by
Iho federal coiu"lwnioh had jurisdic
tion , because the ; road was in Ihe hands
of a receiver 'appointed by a United
States court. Tijoigovornor's application
to the supreme court for u habeas corpus
in behalf of his arrested ollicials has
been denied , and the result is that the
sheriffs who obeyed the executive's order
are now overwhelmed with law suits
for damages brought by thoao whoso
business was interfered with. The state
itself has now instituted suits against
the railroads to collect the taxes , and at
this stage of affairs Iho receiver ap-
paiuted by the federal court of Iwo of
the lailrcads has in a public speech pro
posed arbitration as a means of bringing
order out of all this confusion. If ho
should succeed in his olTort it would bo
the first instance in the history of litiga
tion in this e nmtry whore arbitration
has been resorted to in settling the dif
ferences betweoii a slate government and
corporations doing business within its
jurisdiction. . The proposed experiment
is , however , suggestive.
A nur LiynN received from Ihe census
bureau at Washington gives some very
aijrnificant as well a ? gratifying informa
tion concerning the growth of manu
facturing Interests in Council Bluffs
during the past decade. Statistics of
fifty-two establishments within Iho cily
limits are given. Tneso industries gave
employment t ) 718 people during the
eon-iiis year , disbursed JI2.I.-125 . in wages
and turned out a product valued in the
aggregate at Sllt3.'t,18l. While those
figures make an excellent fihowlng for
CJjimcil Bluffs , they are not to bo ac
cepted as complete by any means. . They
do tut include bulling establishments ,
canning factories , car and repair shop.s
and other important Industries. The
totals would bo considerably more than
Irobled if all of Iho lively industries ot
Omaha's twin sister were included in
the estimates.

circuit court judge had already sent to

iiwnll prompt trial. A break was made
for the jail door by the mob when thl

We're Cleaning Up
You've no idea what a relief it will be when
those everlasting1 hammers
get out of the store. For
years we've been hampered
for room and for weeks
we've been hammered for
more room and now we've
got , it then comes the
cleaning up. We'll bo ready
to show off our now room in
a few days now. We're so
glad to get done that we feel
like as if we might present a
house and lot to those who
come to the grand opening
in a week or so provided they don't say anything
about hammers and speaking of hammers reminds
us that we're hammering out a lot of suits , the
prices on which have been hammered down to the
lowest ebb.
