About tho cheapest publicity nort of pub
licity olitalnntilo by Imiuiiii Ingenuity und
check Id tlint being obtained of Into by n few
ovrr-zcnlous howler for tho Hock Islnud
railroad who are vnlnly endeavoring to at
tract nttciitlon to themselves by mouthing
their opposition to tho Lincoln street rail
way. In spite of the fact that the Hock Is
lnud ofllclnls mid tho street railway olllclnls
iiro not ut nil hostile toward each other, theso
cheap puglors endenvor to umko It npHtar
thnt thcro is n big fight between the com
panics, thnt they nro on the side of tho Hock
Island and thnt tho street railway olllclnls
ale endeavoring to keep the Hock Island out.
This Is nil nonsense and tho very cheapest
clap trap, ntul Is designed to deceive tho pub
lic. The differences between the companies
nre merely an to oiosslng relations and nro
tuoro than likely to bo Rett let). These cheat)
John warriors for n cause that Is safer nnd
better off without them have endeavored in
every way to crento n prejudice against tho
street railway coiup'iuy, going even ho far
as to pass condemnatory resolutions at n
packed and unauthorl.ed meeting of a half
dozen liieinhei'H of the real estate exchange.
They nre entirely unmindful of the fact that
the present innnngmeutnf tho Lincoln street
railway relieved them of the slow iiiulo means
of transportation and put into operation
sixty miles of better electric street railway
than can bo found in any town of Lincoln's
size In the country; thnt it will probably lot
jenrs bcfoio tho lino will pay nppiccinhlo
dividends, and thnt It has paid for everything
that street car or railway companies nro
ever asked to pny for. No one will Ikj hood
winked by theso cheap howlers, and tho
Rock Island will go through tho city in spite
of this diawbnek. Tho people want tho
Hock Island, and have It already, but they
can do without tho cheap scheming and howl
ing of its self-appointed fullers. The Hock
Island nnd the street railway both descrvo
liberal treatment, nnd they will receive it.
Hut is there nny sense in decrying tho
Lincoln Stieet Hallway company I Is it not
distinctively a Lincoln Institution, and
should wo not encourage it rather than at
tempt to injure it. When the Hock Islnud
gets all Itnsks and needs in Lincoln it will
not have purcbaea the city. Of course the
stieet railway has been given right of way
upon the publio streets, but that is no more
than every other street railway gets In every
other city. And that is just what the Hock
Island get in this city. One-third of its
right of woy through Lincoln, or more, Is
upon nnd across public streets which do not
cost it a cent, nnd it has leen given JM,
000 by the city to occupy It. The city has
never given tho stieet railway company
any bonds. The Hock Island is making im
provements thnt cdii template an expenditure
of $500,000. Tho street railway represent
nn outlay of $1,200,000. The latter has upon
its pay rolls over 170 men who make their
homes In this city. The Hock Islnud will
not plant the families of n third that many,
for years to come at least, as far ns present
plnng nro known. The Hock Islnud Invest
ment will bo a good one from tho start,
whllo those who know anything about the
matter know that the street railway invest
ineiit Is not ns yet paying dividends, or even
interest. It is also well known that seveial
of tho colleges tun rounding tho city would
never have been secured had it not been for
the street railway. Everyone wants to see
the Hock Island come mid stay, tint there is
no necessity of decrying the street rnllwny to
get It hero. The courts can be relied upon to
settle existing differences without assistance
fioifl the Kclf-rppoiutid fuglers.
If It bo true, as Hon. A. W. Field's friends
insist, thnt thnt geutlemnn Is bosting his op
ponent in the joint debates, u brilliant fu
ture awaits Mr. Field, and in case he (select
ed to congress he will certainly become a
flxtiiie and one of the very foremoat leaders
of his party. In tho two yeais that Iirynn
has been in Washington he has won more
than national fame as an orator ami states
man became n leader of his party and a
power In the laud. Had he but the age, he
would be a formidable candidate four yeurs
hence for president. Tho Chicago Herald, a
few days since, printed a list or tile foremost
oral oi s of tho country fifteen democrats
and llfteeu lepiibllcaus. Hryan's name was
ninth in the democratic list, mid not a single
one of thoso mentioned In either list was less
tlmn six jears older thaii is he. When Mr.
Field has "done him up'1 in the joint debite
he will have proven himself one of the best
statesmen and oiatoisof his puty, nnd theio
will be found to have been no necessity of
importing McKlnley and Fornkcr to help him
out. When Judge Field comes home from
the lotllid of oratoiicul Joints with 1 1 r jail's
scalp In his belt, he will be right ill 1 ine for
tho pi eshlency .
The people of Lincoln in e to be cougintu
lated upon the fact that the choleia seme
has had its effect in starting a needed cleans
ing of theclt)'s leposltones uf filth. Snnl
tmy isolations long neglected .nil almost
forgotten have been polished up and an
effoit inndo nt their enforcement. Dm lug
the past week seveial olfeudeis against
sanitary irgulntions have actually been ar
ar rested ami punished, mid for olivines too
thnt have long Iteen pcipetmtcd with impu
nity. Now that the olllrials have once
mm e rend upon the military rtipiiiemeiits,
they should pel sist In enloiciug them until
people gel used to habits of cleanliness and
insist upon it In m their neighbors. No
good citieu will tolerate laxity In this mat
ter on the part of Ills neighbors, as pride
for ills home city mid the pcisnml s.ifet) of
his family nnd ncighhois depends.
Home people ale po.eesod of the power of
circulating senatoilal minors that dwarf the
press to cliculate Hie news, An amusing In
stance of their dellgeiico mid piisisteuoc
wen 1 1 id ten e (In) time, wlun the modern
parable of the tlneo black crows was
mire than outdone. Someone started the
rumor that PiWissor Tnylor of the Htnto
University, who recently returned from
Klfope nnd was a passenger on the Noimnli
liln, had been stiickeii with tho cholera.
For time da)s this minor went whisking
in omul coi litis mid Into obscure romcis,
tver dodging the most, Meet mid ready do
iilnls, carrying alarm nnd consternntloti In
to huudicds of homes. No one know where
tho minor oilgluatod, but everybody heard
it and hundreds believed it. As a result
Chancellor Canlleld had his mouth gluts I to
tho telephone dining tho gl eater part of two
das den) lug tho rumor in response to
anxious Inquiries. Newspaper reporteis
weie subjected to bioadslitu of anxious In
quiry everywheie, nnd -i llveryinati who
runs n bm ii near I'rof. Tavlor's lesldenco
was driven almost wild by the jangling of
his telephone. Several times tho rumor was
nearly shut out, 'but it would soon bienk
out nfiesh, witli new mid bonifying vuiin
lions, until Professor had died no less than a
score of times, tlm exact hour and the sick
ening details being often minutely given
Meantime Professor Taylor was as well as
ever and was going nUiilt tho peiforuninco
of his duties rt guiltless of his cat-like mortal
ity. The oiigiimtur, letailer and peislsteiit
ruvlver of that fako may assure himself that
he thoroughly frightened thousands of eo
pie. both in mid out of Lincoln, mid pro
ceed to sutler tho lemoisohe deserves there

N. Z. Snell, county attorney, hns ut last
struck n successful gait In the prosecution of
offenders against tho law, but it riimo too
late to bo of service to him. Had it come to
hlui a year ago ho would have had a siucli
again on the county attorneyship. Hut Mr.
Snell was a victim of decided ill luck. In
splto of his able and earnest eiToitr, nnd
such assistance ns ho could get from the
nblet meinliersof the local bar, nearly every
person accused o' n major ciiino esenped
punishment by some small defect In the
proof. Mr. Snell wus of course held respon
sible for the acquittal of Mrs. Shccdy and
Monday McFmlnud, although O. M. Ijiiii
bertsou mi i Frank M. Hall were associated
wlih him. Ho was held iesousihlo for tho
acquittal of Hutchinson, although ably as
slsted and although the proofs offered of in
sanity weie overwhelming. He was held
responsible for the uequttai of young Itar
rett, who killed mi nged hook-ngene,
although there was absolutely no pi oof
that it wns not doiib so in self-defense. All
of theso accused people weie Mi'ltected of
guilt by the public, but loituno was with
them in the pioofs available and the law,
mid Shell's political enemies were enabled to
(Mjint to his failure to convict us an evidence
of his lack of qualification, And they did
It. Even when Myron Pratt gnvo lilm a
a case that was utmost sure to result In con
viction the prisoner died before the trial
came around. Hnell was a victim of most
adverse rircumstauceti mid it is more than
likely that tho ablest lawyer In Lincoln
would have fared no bettor than he in the
same cases. Ho was not even renominated,
but he and Ids fi lends rest serene in the con
fidence that ho did his duty as faithfully and
well as could any attorney havo'donelt.
Chancellor Crelghtou of tho Wosleynn
University has returned from the Nebraska
City conference of the Methodist church
with a record wljied mid scrubbed clean of
the charges In ought against hlin, nnd xnce
with Immaculate wings might be presumed
to have established u roost nt University
I'lnce. Bo complete was his vindication that
he magnanimously announced to the confer
ence that he would withdraw the suit
brought In the courts against F.ldors Hinlth
und lliirch, who preferred the charges, for
$'.'0,000 damages. And when ho leached
home a formal and fulsome demonstration
was made In lecoguitiou of his triumph, at
which anvils boomed, the college buildings
were illuminated and eechos of pralso and
congratulation wero made by his friends.
Hut even this demonstration cannot hide the
fact that the bitterness against him and the
dissatisfactinn over Ills continuance us the
head of the university has survived even tho
kindly otllcesof the coufeieiice toward him.
Some of his old antagonists still think lilm an
unfit man for the plico mid will only await
another opK)i Utility to nssnll him. The de
monstration made over his acquittal has
only strengthened their hailed and opposi
tion It had been thought that the chancel
lor would follow up Ills magnanimous witli
drawil of his suit for damages by mogunni
namely resigning disposition as chancellor,
which would ceitalnly ,Ih the best thing lie
could do for the chinch, the university and
himself, but he didn't and will not. He says
ho has declined oilers of two good pastoral
chin ties since Ills acquittal by sa) lug in each
Instance that he could accept no proffered
position for the i ensoii thnt ho nlieady lias
one. It Is to Ut regietted that the Wesleyau
must continue to tuller the full weight or this
tumble. Under favorable auspices It would
have had a pioinUtug future, but, weak from
tho Hist, it Is growing weaker, Jam! it will
never be stioug under Chancellor Crelghtou.

Lincoln nnd Its people hnvo long since
IhissisI the cm when the arts mut i cumin In
the back ground. Already have we arrived
with the ndvnncemeut of the age nt the time
when the vuiloin alts ns will as tho sciences
are being limiht a part of our individual
education. And now, that wo have no less
than tell well equipped uulvelsltles and col
legfs, Is-sldcs lint public, high, and waul
schools and seveial well founded private
places of Instruction, we mo pleased to note
the fact that In each or iirnil) eveiy ouea
professional artist Is added to the liiculty.
P.vcn the public schools have seen tint litre
slty of adding drawing to the piepimtory
course of study, and under the elllclent
Misses Hlley mid Wilson wo hope to see our
boys and girls executing some worthy work,
it not only teaches them light mid shadow
and the sketching of objects In view, but
It earlv forces upon their minds th necessity
of close observation If taught ti see tin
lure's work with a view to repioduc, wo
soon llud ourselves stud) lug miatouiy, eulo
luology, botany mid nil the other sciences,
In fact, aio hi ought Into soclal use If the
artist isdesiious of being tine to iiatino, mid
whom even would attempt to Impiovohor
wot k has n dllllcult prohlt III to solve.
Drawing und sketching fioiu life should be
encouraged In both the)outh and adult, mid
copying dls?ourngtil Again, II weaietobe
cultivated, Intelligent and adepts in conver
sation, we must bo posted on the current m t
topics of the day as will as those in tho scleu
Mile, social and political woild. Also know
something of the old masleis, bucoiiVeisalit
with the history of mt down thioiigh the
Chiistiuu era, iiHslluvnl and renn -jance to
tho work of tint pteseiil century In F.uivpo
and our own country. It is our object In
taking up this department in the Cot'lilKlt
to give notes or interest In this line, both lo
cal und national. We, as a nation, have lea
sou to Iki proud of our own men mid women,
who by dint of hind labor and fi severance
in their studies, have succeeded in making a
name dm lug the past century in nit elides,
mid their line blush which we ate cnatded lo
view in tint vai lous galleries of America
speaks for itself. Then wo have but to glance
over the various works of art Issued in nook
form to ms) what our American artists are
now mid have been doing If we ale uu.ible to
leacli the gallflies of the cities. Vo find
many of the paintings repro lii"o I In etch

cuts. "Hecent Ideals of Ameiicmi Alt"
speaks for Itself mid the uiimeious artists
vvhoo woiks me Included in this "Tho Wo
men's Gallery" and "Medal Pictures" hnvo
nlrendy established their names In the line.
Many now are the students in the vai ious
leagues ami schools who mo devoting time,
energy and talent In this large field of woik,
striving with the palette and biush mid their
own Inspirations of tho beautiful mid sub
