Call 2 50 Weekly ; II 1 15 l ms morning a btate Journal comes out with a half column article charging the Omaha Bee with keeping $4,000 of the Royce blizzard fund, and asks the contributors to look into the matter. It appears that $20,000,000 of foreign capitol is invested in American mines, so the alien land law should be modified so as to permit foreigners to invest in the developing of mines all they want to. The tone of the German press has changed considerable on the S.imoan affairs from what it was a few week6 ago. This is because this country is soon to have a president who will not tamely concede everything that Bismarck may see fit to ask. ukm.

A newspaper that has to advertise for advertisements by offering to advertise for nothing doesn't advertise you enough to pay for the trouble and expense of the paper and ink and the conveyance of j oour advertisement to the office of the free advertisement newspaper. If advertisements are worth anything the public does not object to pay for them the same as for groceries. Lincoln Journal. Tub: bill providing for the taxing of the next census includes one new feature I which the country will specially approve, and that is the requirement that an exact enumeration of all surriving Union sol diers shall be made, giving name, age, residence, command and length of ser vice. Such statisticts are needed for several reasons, chiefly that of, affording ready information in Pension matters. It is a singular tact that the records in the different offices of the war depart ment do not agree in any particular, and can not be relied upon for strictly accur ate data with regard to the different events and conditions of the war. This proposed enumeration will at least give us the definite number of veterans who are still living and that is more than has ever jet been known at any time. OUR FOREIGN RELATIONS. It is the settled policy of the United states to prescrye peace with all nations and to cultivate their friendship in all honorable and reasonable ways. But to do this it is necessary to maintain the national dignity and to insist upon our just rights and privileges. We have nothing to gain by purchasing peace at the expense of national courage and self respect. The course of the present Ad ministration has placed us in the attitude ' of readily yielding to the will of any government that sees fit to antagonize our interests. It his systematically sub mitted to all the demands that have been made upon it for the benefit of other countries, regardless of established prin ciples and precedents. In not a single instance has it manifested a purpose to defend the claims of American citizens. or to vindicate the cause of American honor, according to positive and becom ing methods. We have thus forfieteded a considerable degree of our reputation for pluck and enterprise. Our diplomacy has come to be little more than a process of elaborate trifling, for the convenience and advantage of foreign powers, and to the disparagement and humiliation of our national character. The new administration should take early occasion to let the fact be known that a different policy is to prevail dur- ring the next four years. It is not neces sary or desirable that a war should be provoked with any nation. The i way to avoid war is to assert our rights on every occasion with vigor and perseverance, and to creoare for war to such an extent that a there can be no doubt about our ability to cope with any adversary on land or ca. As the matter now -stands, our navy is not at all forbidding. We ought to have more ships and more forts, that other countries may understand that it is dangerous to offer us insult or do us wrong in any direction. Our means are adequate to meet all requirements of that sort, and do short-sighted theory of economy should stand in ' the way of sufficient appropriations for the purpose lue time nas come wnen we caa no longer afford to disregard this obvious duty. Our relations with the rest of the world are constantly growing in interest and imporiancc, and it is part of com mon prudence to provide facilities for waging war with proper effect in case such an emergency should come to pass We have had four years of timidity and uncertainty. Now let us have four years of spirited and definite dealing with all questions of foreign intercourse. The people voted for the latter policy when they voted for Qen. Harrison; and there is every reason to believe that he will fully meet their expectations in that respect. Globe Democrat. ON THE ST Al ft WAY. Aiono na tho ntainray we sat that night, V.'hilo the music throbbed and died. And the hum of voices and laughter light Floated round tin on every side. The strains of that waltz were bewltchlngly sweet As they rose and fell on the air; In dreamy fashion the time she beat With her slippered foot on the stair. Sho played with ber fan, she lifted her eyes, Sao pulled ber red roses apart. She looked up amazed in a sweet surprise When I laid at her feet my heart, Twos a bold and a daring thing to do. But 8ho seemed to like it well. And, besides, 'twas rare good fortune to woo Tho ballroom's reigning belie. I can nee those eyes so dork and bright, I can feel that self same thrill That shook me from head to foot that night When two lips said softly, "I will."

It is a far better plan to have all such work done at home, but this is quite a liflicult matter, as upholsterers grumble about the lack of conveniences at houses md prefer to do this work at their .hops. It is not tho eweptlpn, but the .-ule to deceive in theso matters. The anxTs hair wool mentioned for comfor- 4.abk3 makes a luxurious bed, that costs Ajout the same as whito horse hair.

Tb Object Is to Trach the Young Hour to L'fcO Their Hands Something Like Oar Manual Training Kspeclally IteneOelal to Girls of the Wealthy Families. An association lias been formed in England for promoting th? teaching of "sloyd." This new system has for some time past been an important factor in tho educational systems of several coun tries. The great beauty of it lies in the fact that it educates a child morally, physically and mentally. Sweden was the originator of this system of manual in struction, which is not, as is frequently supposed, merely wood carving, but is the system applied to the different kinds of handiwork for educational purposes. Slojd, tho Scandinavian word, which is termed "sloyd" in England for con venience, means originally "cunning,' "clever," "handy." The result at which tho system specially aims is to implant respect for work in general, even for the coarser forms of manual labor; to de velop activity, to foster order, cleanli ness, neatness and accuracy; to encour age attention, industry and perseverance: to develop tho physical powers and to train the eye and the 6ense of form. It is intended to teach all classes, from the highest to the lowest, how to use their hands as well as their heads, so that each man and woman may be placed in a position of independence and be capable of earning an honest livelihood. IT IS NOT LEARNING A TRADE. The first article which learners have to make is a little pointer, using merely a knife and glass paper; from such ar ticles they proceed to more difficult ones, making rulers, inkstands, brackets, and so forth. Attendance at the classes is volun tary on the part of pupils, so that there are certain conditions which the work must fulfill. It should be useful, and not too fatiguing; the articles made should offer variety, and should not be articles of luxury; they should be accom plished without help, and (hey should be real work and not play. A necessary feature, too, is that they should demand thoughtfulness and not be purely me chanical work. Many will no doubt here say: "It is nothing more nor less than ordinary capentering." On consideration, however, it will be found there are several differences. First and foremost comes the difference in the object of sloyd, which is not to turn out young carpenters, but to develop the fac ulties, and especially to give general dexterity, which will be of value no mat ter what line of life the pupil may after wards pursue. Other differences are the character of the objects made, which are usually smaller than those made in the trade; the tools used; the knife, for in stance the most important of all in sloyd is little used in ordinary carpen tery; and lastly, tho manner of working is not the same; the division of labor employed in the carpentering trado is not allowed in sloyd, where each article is executed entirely by each pupil. Truancy has almost been done awav with in Swedish schools since the iatrc. ductionof sloyjj, t has been found iu all tho schools where it has been intro duced that greater and more intelligent progress has been made in the ordinar. school work. It makes children think for themselves. Tho system demands in dividual supervision and instruction. which is an advantage, as the teacher is enabled to gain an insight into the char acter, and to establish a personal relation between himself and his pupils. . TUB EFFISpTS MENTALLY. In regard to the statement that it pro motes the physical, mental and moral de velopment, we find that jnorcJly it im plants respect and love for work in gen eral; it strengthens the bond between home and school; and it fosters a sense of satisfaction in honest work, begun, carried on and completed by fair means. Mentally, sloyd acts in drawing out and exercising energy, perseverance, order, accuracy and tho habit of attention; it causes pupils to rely on themselves, to exercise forethought, and to be constant ly putting two and two together. Phy sically, the system brings into action all tho muscles, and exercises both sides of the body. Pupils work with the left hand and arm, as well as with the right, in sawing, planing, etc. Sloyd is particularly use ful to the girls of our higher schools, and is more important for them than their sisters of the working classes. The former aro sadly in want of some inte resting active work to counterbalance the continual sitting and poring over books and exercises. Besides the gene ral development it furnishes, the positive knowledgo gained is of tho greatest ser vice, and serves to stimulate a growing experience of sympathy with men's work. The first courso for training teachers ui England commenced in August, 18S8, at the Ladies college at Sydenham, wliieh lias been kindly lent for the pur pose. Hitherto, thos3 who would be teachers of sloyd hava had to travel to the seminary at Maaa, on tho beautiful shores of Lake Savelangen; and after going through (he course there, have had to faco the difficulty of applying tho sys tem to English tastes and customs. Now they will not have quite so long a journey to undertake to gain instruction; and the knowledge they do gain will be such as they can impart straight away to pupils. In order to counteract the evil of spuri ous teachers cropping up, . there will be inspectors appointed who wul be allowed to visit any places whero sloyd is taught at any time, to nee that the system is carried out properly and faithfully.
