A Contemporary Account

The Light Bill Veto.
Governor Morehead's veto . of the Water
board eleotrlo lighting bill, we take It, coming
at this stage of the procedure, puts the finishing
touch on the present measure.
The Bee has already made plata its position
with reference to this Mil 'by pointing out the
weak spots, and advising amendment to cure pal
pable defects-. We tod Just what la our Judg
ment the essential amendments should - be,
namely, a complete divorcement of every mu
nicipally owned public utility from politic, and
condemnation powers la addition to authority.
to construct. Instead of -mating these neces
sary amendments, the sponsors undertook to
save the bill by a purchase proviso 'by the die-
credited three-appraiser, plan which had proved
so eostly to the taxpayers la the acquisition of
the water works, ' , , ,..
Aa the, governor emphasizes, municipal own
ership is not Involved so long as the city has the
right to go iato the lighting business, and to buy,
condemn or build as it sees fit, .but, imirte him,
Svs are not sollcitlous about the electric lighting
company, which Is doubtless able to look after
its own Interests. The real Justification of the
veto lies la' the protection it .give the people of
Omaha agalnat being put at the mercy of the
electria lighting company by the dangerous
three-appraiser scheme.
After the War.
Industrial experts are already looking ahead
to what will happen after the war. The con
census of opinion among the technical leaders Is
that the cessation of hostilities will be Immedi
ately followed in the United States by the re
sumption of activity oa many enterprises that
have been suspended or postponed, and that this
will bring an unprecedented demand for men'
and money The restoration of Europe will pro
vide occupation for the men of Its disbanded
armlea,, but where the capital to finance that
stupendous task is coming from Is the question.
America will offer far, tha more attractive field
for Investment, because of the stability of Its
government and the; perpetuity of the-security
offered. Points Involved la this problem are
being carefully considered, so thst, while the
United States' may be unprepared for war. It
will not be found unready for the greatest cam
paign' of Industrial activity the world has ever
witnessed.

Beitorinf; Coafideace,
Reports from national bank examiners, made
to the Treasury department are taken as basis
for assertions that business is oa the upgrade
again la the United 8tates. This news ought to
be most welcome, and would be of great help
were It not accompanied by the statement that
the demand for money is still light, showing thst
little extension of enterprise Is under way. Ne
braska is one. of the most prosperous states la
the most prosperous lection of the country, ac
cording to the reports, and on this fact Its peo
ple are to be congratulated.
The Inquiry and lte report are apparently
part of efforts now being made by the adminis
tration to Offset the effects of lte "reform"
measures, which disturbed business more than
did the war. The people of the country
earaeeUy wish tor the restoration of business
conditions that prevailed under republican poli
cies. The true revival of commercial and Indus
trial activity la the United Qtatea will come only
whea the sdmlntstratioa at Washington Is put
back on a sound basis.

peraonal thtervtew some weeks ago peace undoubtedly
would have reaulted there from. Much of their con
versation, ef course, was privet and unheard. But
enough was gleaned to know that tie acknowledged
himself completely beaten, th powar or th Southern
Confederacy utterly destroyed and any further
promulgation of the war a useiesa effusion of blood.
The opinion was universal among rebel or fleers that
Johnston would surrender t Unarms without a battle

"Shortly before 11 o'clock the Interview between

of hla thoroughbred Clnclnnatua toward the . court
house, followed by his staff and a long retinue of

"Within half an hour thereafter the officers desig

of surrender arrived and were accompanied by a
large number of noted rebel office ra. Th large ver

of union and rebel officers in earnest conversation.
Halt th. "regulars" oa either side' found some old
acquaintance or 'Wtit Point clasamat among the

past and gave in their open countenances evidences
of honest respeot. Almost the first Question from

"Th belief seemed widespread among Intelligent
officers that th UaitoA States government had
pledged ltaalf to grant no amaeetJe for the offense'
of treason and that they must "ell hank together er
haag separately.' On learning that General Grant
had taften no advantage ef their neceaelUae and dos
perate situation, but had voluntarily extended to them
the same magnanimous term Offerad two days before
and refused by General Lee, they expressed them
selves exceedingly gratified, Plsousslon of the mat
ter among themselves teemed to greatly strengthen
this . feeling. All admttted that their army had no
further powar of resistance and that It waa compelled
to surrender on our own terms.' They appeared. sur
prised to find no exhibition of vtndlctlveneej on our
part. Judging of their hearty concessions of generals
and liberal treatment by us, one would conclude they
eipected to have been chained together aa felona to
grao th triumphal march cf our vtotortoua general.
"At first soma may be Inclined to think' General
Grant not sufficiently exacting. But no one who wit
nessed the behavior of the rebel officer and listened
to their conversation oa the subject, could long doubt
the wisdom of his policy.
"tree's whole army goes home delighted that they
are out of th service and grateful to General Grant
for sparing them all unnecessary humiliation. The
moral effect of thla on th masses of the southern
people cannot b overestimated."

OMAHA, April . To the Editor of The
Ree: I ha- read with interest the com
tnunlcetlone In th dally prea signed!
"Knott Ahltt Faddte." I wish to stale
emphatically that ever since I was first
elected a member of the school hoard at
lAnooln, many years ago, I have per
sonally been opposed, to tads nor am t
the. only member of the prerent Omaha
school board who is "not a bit faddy."
I fully agree With those who bold that
the necessity of a High School of Com
merce, as at present operated. Is at least,
debatable. I fear that much time Is being
wasted by being devoted to the mere
study of stenography, typewriting, book
keeping and telegraphy, which ought to
be devoted to atudiea vt broader cultural
scope, I confess thst I have not had time
to look into faote In detail, but that la
my present impreaslon, I have not hesi
tated to Indicate my opinion to my eel-
leagues of the Board of Education and to
Superintendent Graff. I had a long Inter
view with M. Graff about two weeks ago
and 1 have a letter wherein he put him
self on record in part aa follows:
An Ideal plan for the solution of the
prem-nt difficulties would be to erect a
building adjacent to the Central High
sohool for the purpose of accommodating
the commercial department Such a
tniildlna- should Be large enough to take
care of the manual training department
of the Central Iilgtk school or else two
"buildlne should be erected one for each
department. The manual training at pres
ent Is unaaustaotoriir nousea ana can
not be provided for In a building of a
type or the central mgn scnooi. ,
The advantages of this plan are ob
vious: First It would entrails tlw man
agement and reduce overhead expenses
to a minimum, Beoona, it wouia avoios
AuoUcatlon of courses and duplication of)
equipment Third, It would enable any
hlsth school pupil to take any of the varl-
out line or work orrered wunoui oonnn
ing hun rlxldly to a alngle department
jfrior to tteptemDor, ivis, oommerouu in
struction was given at tha Centre; High
sohool la the earn way aa there existed
and "English" oourse and a "olaaelcai"
course. That a commercial cburs as
one branch of regular high school work
may be necesary and perfectly Justifiable
Is possibly true, er, to put it In another
way, thore aye probably many children in
a city like Omaha whose parents might
insist on some fundamental training
along "commercial" lines at public ex
pense. But they should not be permitted
te "bulge" In that direction to th neg
lect of studies promoting general cul
ture. That the money required for a
building to "house" the pupils now
prowded into the lavenworth street
school and a lot of wholly unfit store
rooms In that vicinity should be separately
voted on I do not concur in. unless the
young men and women now thus Im
properly houssd must be wholly elimin
ated ' from enrollment as pupils of our
public school system. ' '
I do 'not think that the question of en
additional building, absolutely and un
avoidably needed, and which it Is pro
posed to erect upon or Immediately ad
jacent to the Central' High school cam
pus, has anything to do with the ques
tion of the status which commercial or
vocational' eduoation- shall hereafter of
cupy In our educational system. ". Mr.
Graffs letter, concurring with my own
general Idea, that the couple, "divorced"
three years ago when the Commercial
High waa estaMlshsd as a separate and
Independent entity, shall be "reunited"
in some form upon or adjacent . to the
Central High school campus, and th
impossibility of crowding any part of
th present M0 students enrolled In th
Commercial High Into th present Cen.
tral High sohool building, ought to be
sufflolent reason for the expenditure of
the necessary money to erect the addl
dlttonal building needed, upon or adja
cent to the Central High campus.
Th people of this city ow It to th
children now In the- publlo schools ot
"Greater Omaha" to vote that million
dollars of bonds, not a dollar of which, I
think I oan asure them, will be wasted
on "fads." p. J. ERNST.

to additional city commissioners for the

Tou have it that I said. "Havs -the
charter so amended that the two addi

was, "Hare th charter so, amended that
the tw additional commissioners would
be elected for a term that would expire
at th sent time ee the terms ef th oem
raisaloners who will be elected on the 4th

By giving th newly added district to
Omaha two city commissioners w could
have about the asm proportion as now
slats In Omaha proper. All with whoaa I
hav talked approve of my suggeettona
and It will make th cause for annexa

Nor thought they of their scolding wives,
disconsolate and sour.

They laughed and wept together, and
chuckled and Caroused,
And left the Inn at mldnttrnt. In a stats
