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

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

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.

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.

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."
Ah, there she goes now in that shimmering gown
And the silky, yellow hair.
Yes, she jilted mo for a man in town
Who lit three times a millionaire.

THE SLOYD SYSTEM.
IT
IS
THE
BEING INTRODUCED INTO
SCHOOLS OF ENGLAND.
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.
