President MoKinley paid his respocts
to tho pessimists the alarmists the
littlo Americans and others whoso wails
of woo and distress have never served
inadvanoing tho interests of the country
and whose only effect has been to retard
tho wheels of progress and discourage
enterprise The presidents opinion of
their usefulness is that of a large num
ber of citizens In his inaugural ad
dross ho says
Distrust of tho capacity integrity
and high purposes of the American
people will not be au inspiring themo
for future political contests Dark
pictures and gloomy forebodings aro

they do not help to point the way of
safety and honor Hope maketh not

Tho faith of tho fathers was a mighty

civilization the mighty probloms resting
upon thorn The American people en
trenched iu freedom at home take their
love for it wherever they go and they
reject as mistaken and unworthy the
doctrine that we loso our own liberties
by seouriug the enduring foundation of
liberty to others Our institutions will
not deteriorate by extension and our
sense of justice will not abate under
tropio suns in distant seas
This opinion is one deserving consid
eration It contrasts the spirit of tho
father with those who claim to bo their
ouly true followers Imagine George
Washington Abraham Lincoln and
other prominent statesmen doing their
work with fear aud trembling with tho
opiuion that the freedom their country
might give would prove rather serfdom
and yet Bryan and his followers would
have the American people believe that
such would be the result The country
will never desire such leadership as long
as the people retain a reasonable degree
of patriotism and discretion

The Omaha board of education is

Sohool Courses too Hard This is a
question which should be con

course in tho publio and high Gchools
Booms to have been mado a contest be
tween knowledgo and health with the
latter usually the loser Somo years
ago a scholar was thought to be doing
very well if ho graduated by the timo
he became of age Now a pupil is not
considered at all precocious if he com
pletes tho high school course in his 15th
to 18th year Whether they have
learned as permanently as formerly is
another question It seems that tho
whole thought of the student and some
times of tho teaoher is directed toward
graduating regardless of consequenoes
Many pupils aro compolled to Btudy
overtime to keep up with thoir classes
aud tho work is undoubtedly too hard
in numerous instances Either the
course anouia do maao easier or more
time should be given in which to com
plete it is tho opinion of a great many
peoplo who regard the health of the
children ahead of the learning they
may acquire
MAN AND WIFE INSANE
Ilntli Ionc Their MlmM and nio Kecelved
nt the Nonfolk Ifospltnl at tho
Same Time
Throo now patients wore received yes
terday at tho Norfolk hospital for tho
insano nud ore to bo givon tho troatmont
necessary to cure their enfeebled minds
Two of them aro man and wifo re
ceived from tho west part of tho state
whoro for years thoy had made a hopo
loss strugglo for oxbtenco ondoavoring
to gather from tho sandy soil where thoy
wore located sufficient material to koop
body nud soul togothor Thoir homo
was in a sod shanty or dug out and fow
can realize what trials thoy must havo
oxporioucod
This is tho second caso of the kind
that ban come to tho attention of tho
hospital authorities and tho fact is
emphasized that thoso who abandoned
their sand hill farms as soon as thoy
discovered tho utter uselessness of en
deavoring to oultivate the soil displayed
tho part of good sonso
Theso liko many othors probably in
vested thoir all in the land at a timo
when thore was a general movement to
ward the west and when shrewd spec
ulators were working overtime to inter
est peoplo in a section of country which
thoy knew to bo worthless without ir
rigation for agricultural purposes A
few there are who secured a considerable
quantity of this land nt its truo worth
and have made money by putting it in
rangos aud stocking up with cattle
But tho farmer who has endeavored
to cultivate tho land and thus mako a
living must inevitably meet with failure
if not loss of mind and perhaps lifo it
Belf This couple having invested thoir
all in this sand hill property and it being
their only homo felt compelled to make
their living by tilling the soil It can
roadily bo imagined that often this
couple has suffered for bare necessities
of life while the grind the hopes de
ferred prospeots blasted lack of clothing
and perhaps oven fuel might well bo
calculated to enfeeble a strong mind and
brim discouragement and disease
Both were uudoubtedly enfeebled by
the hardships experienced aud when tho
mind of one gavo way tho natural result
would bo that the other who had en
countered the samo difficulties and
whose mind was in close affinity with
thatjof the partner should give way
and both be received at tho hospital at
the same time and under practically the
same conditions
Edward Moikham probably had met
with some such instance as this before
he wrote The Man With the Hoe
But it by no means follows that this is
the general condition of farmers in Ne
braska It is tho condition of the few
who made a mistake in locating on the
sand hills of the western counties but
there are thousands who own good
fertile farms and ore not only making a
good liviDg but creating creditable bank
accounts It is these exceptions that
excite pity but there are few similar
casoB which is reason for thankfulness
on the part of all
Perhaps in the course of timo this
couple may again regain their mental
faculties but if they do and return
to the monotonous grind for existence
they have experienced for years it would
be but a question of time until their ail
ment became permanent
