The Packers' Syaikate.
The syndicate of meat-packers seem
to be determined to build themselves up
on the ruin of the cattle interest. They
have such a grip on the market that
they dictate the price, by combining
among themselves, thus destroying the
natural competition of trade, and the
amount of it is that prices are so low
that it will not pay to raise stock for the
market. The intent seems to be to get
entire control of the meat business, from
first to last, or failing in that exclusive
control, to so hamper everything as to
get cattle and hogs at their own price
and thus virtually do as they please.
In places, the syndicate are opening
sales-rooms for. their product in order to
dose out the butchers who help to build
up a .local market for butcher's stock.
The syndicate does this by shipping in
meats from their packing-houses and, if
necessary, selling at half price until the
local butchers are forced out of business.
When brought to question about their
methods they claim the cause of low
prices is overproduction and that they
are paying all the trade will justify.
Conspiracy against trade should be
ferretted out and severely punished by
the public authorities, at their expense,
and such conspirators should be pun
ished the same as any other criminals.
Let there be a law broad enough to
reach them, and public sentiment will
back the prosecution.
NEBRASKA NOTES.
; who gives his client advice
that will save him trouble and expense,
is an honest man. Not all lawyers, how
ever, are aohoaest as to discourage liti
gation when they think they have a vic
tim who is able to pay for being ham
bagged by them. Professed attorneya
have been known, time and again, to
draw their victims, deeper and deeper
into a sea of troubles, so they would be
all the more at their mercy when faith
sa the ability and integrity of their legal
adviser is suddenly changed into knowl
edge of Iiis teaching and cunning. It is
aaid that before a man builds a hoase he
should count the cost. This is a hun

in charge by the brethren, J. P. Becker,
Judge Speke and Jadge Pattison, who
were keeping "bachelor's hall" on the
lots where Mrs. Preston lived so long.
From that time antil 1866 the Protest
ant citizens of the town were indebted
to the Methodist church for all the
spiritual teaching they received. -In the
spring of 1866 the Bev. Samuel Goodale
began making regular visits here, being
one of a small band whom the ever la
mented Bishop Clarkson gathered
around him, when he came to Nebraska
after his consecration as its bishop
among whom were Bevs. MeNamara and
Dake, and whom Mr. Goodale has sur
vived. For a long time services were
"held in the town hall. In 1868 he moved
to Columbus with his family with the
intention of building a church, which
was carried into effect the following
year. The building of the church re
quired a great deal of effort and labor.
About $1,000 was subscribed by the
citizens and an equal amount furnished
by the church extension society. On
Sunday the 24th day of December, 1869,
it was dedicated by Bishop Clarkson as
sisted by the Bev. Mr. Dake of Fremont
Previous to this time Mr. Goodale had
built up a flourishing 8unday School,
which was attended by children of all
denominations, including some Catholic
families, and on Christmas Eve of that
year the first Christmas tree festival in
Columbus was held in the church. Hon.
H. J. Hudson was the superintendent,
and under his admirable management a
large portion of the children were at
tracted to the school A very large tree
was procured, which was loaded with
presents for young and old, and there
are many young women and men who
will now recollect the presents they, as
children, received from that tree. Ex
ercises suitable to the occasion were
held; addresses were made by the super
intendent, Mr. Hudson, and some of the
teachers, and the occasion has never
been surpassed, if equalled, by any effort
in that direction since. Mrs. Goodale
was at that time the organist and musi
cal director, and with a choir, composed
in part of those whom she had trained,
to which was added her own voice, then
of marvelous power and sweetness, dis
coursed beautiful music suitable to the
occasion. Little Elsie Allen the seven
years old daugnter 01 tne tnen U. r.
agent here, a musical prodigy, also sung
a solo u When I Seek My Father." The
following spring Dr. Goodale was trans
ferred to Lincoln for the purpose of or
ganizing and building a church in the
capital city, and the first church of his
denomination in Lincoln is also one of
his monuments, and for a number of
years he was engaged in the same work
in different places. In 1877 he returned
to Columbus and ever since has been
one of our citizens, and rector of the
pariah until 1887, when the infirmities
of advanced age compelled him to retire
from active labor, and seek a needed and
well earned rest, and although the hand
of Time has thinned and silvered his
locks his heart is as young and warm as
ever, and many hearts go out to him (in
his temporary residence in Bapid City),
whose children he has baptized and
whose friends he has buried, with the
earnest hope that we soon will see him
walking among us again.
While on the subject of church build
ing, our thoughts turn to the other pio
neers of religious labor in the territory,
to Bev. Beuben Gaylord the first minis
ter who came to Omaha and built the
first Congregational church in that city;
to Bev. Isaac F. Collins who built the
first Methodist church. Mr. Collins was
a large, very blunt man, with a high
sense of duty which caused him to labor
in season, and quite frequently out of
season. There was an old gentleman
living near Bellevue, who was an Ag
nostic or Infidel in his belief, and Mr.
Collins considered it his duty to labor
with him. He met him one day, and
after shaking hands, said to him: "Mr.
&, I understand that you have made no
preparation for a future life. I also un
derstand that you have had two attacks
of apoplexy, and as I suppose you know
that when the third one comes you will
die or at least loose your senses." The
old gentleman here took part in the con
versation and closed it with the remark,
"You have had the third stroke, haven't
you? He was succeeded in 1856 by Bev.
Mr..Chivington, who afterward became
CoL Chivington of Colorado, the hero of
the Sand Creek Indian fight in that

from their umbrellas you would hardly
think they really knew it was raining.
There are just as many people upon the

and around to the sides of the building
the ones for the boys aad girls respect
ively. A large yard sarrounds the
schools and this, together with the large
.cemented basements which are the size
of the entire building, form ample play
grounds.. The aexes are kept distinctly
apart, however, their grounds aa well as
entrances being separate. The stair
way leading to the apper floora for
the two are aa far apart aa the building
will allow, but in the rooms they are
seated without reference to sex or schol
arship. The primary grades are on the
lower floora and from this it grades up
to the Seniors, who occupy room 1
on the third floor.
We will visit the lowest grade first
Our knock brings the teacher in response
and taking us into the room seats us at
the desk where we can command a view
of this infantile group. In this room
are about 60 children and in the after
noon there will be aa many more, for in
the primary classes the session is only
half a day, there being so many scholars
that it is impossible to accommodate
them. Here the first rudiments are
grafted and trying work it must be,
too but no matter how vexing or how
unruly the culprit, the teacher ia strictly
forbidden to strike a scholar or use any
rough means of punishment This last
is effected by suspension first, then by
expulsion. We leave the teacher vainly
endeavoring to impress in some youthful
brain the fact that Mh" follows "g" in the
alphabet In this grade and the three
following nothing is taught but reading,
writing and spelling. Arithmetic is next
added and geography is not taken up for
at least four years.
In room 1 we find about the same
number of scholars, ranging in age from
13 to 15 years. This is the final year in
the Grammar school and here .we find
them studying the "three Bs," geogra
phy, United States history and elemen
tary physiology. Grammar is taught by
the reading of famous poems such as
"Evangeline," etc. But hark! A' great
gong sounds, and looking in astonish
ment at the time, we find it is 12 o'clock
and the pupils are preparing for the
noon hour. At a tap of the bell the
scholars rise and passing to the dressing
room put on their wraps and wait for
their signal to leave. The gong is placed
in the lower hall and as it is pulled it
can be heard throughout the entire
building. The pupils pass down the
stairs in files of two, and so beautifully
is it arranged that from all the floors the
ranks from all the rooms join as they
pass down and to see all these pupils
fully a thousand so thoroughly trained
as to start at just the right moment and
and to gain the files at the appointed
time, is a most interesting sight The
old habit of punishment by keeping the
pupil after school is done away with, as
all are compelled to be out of the build
ing at the last tap of the bell, unless, of
course, something unusual necessitates
their remaining. The session is from 9
to 12 in the forenoon and from 1:30 to
3:30 in the afternoon without any re
cesses, thus giving the pupils five hours
of study. The ranks have all gained the
outdoor and as the teachers seem as
anxious as their wards to get away, we
will leave and pay our next visit to the
North Division High School.. As the
teachers pass we cannot but notice what
a prosperous, stylish, genteel set they are,
and well they can afford to be. The
salaries paid amounts all the way from
$40 to $85 a month the eighth grade
teachers of course receiving the $85. The
principals receive an average of $1,500 a
year, but of course these figures refer
only to the Grammar schools, the high
school teachers getting very much high
er wages. 'But while the salaries differ
so much, the examination for a certifi
cate is the same for all, and upon first
entering the field the applicant is given
a primary grade and from tlus must
work her way to the higher positions.
When one reflects that there are over a
thousand schools in the city, and on an
average twenty-five teachers in each
school, one cannot be surprised when I
say that the money spent annually for
teachers' salaries alone amounts to over
a million and a half dollars. And then
think of the expense of school sites,
building, steam-heating, janitors' servi
ces, sweepers three of which are em
ployed at each school for sweeping them
every day and the many other bills
.they must meet the truth asserts itself
that $3,000,000 is spent every yeafin this
city alone for the common education;
and still the board finds itself each year
with a surplus of. over, $2,000,000 in the
treasury. It is such figures as these
that makes one feel the enormous growth
and development of this great city; but
just now the important question of com
pulsory education is being agitated and
if it is decided to enforce this law, which
has been a dead-letter in Illinois for so
long, it will necessitate the erection of a
large number of new schools, while a
part of this unnecessary surplus will in
all probability find ita way out. The po
licemen, I fancy, will not relish the idea
as it will keep them busier than they are
wont to be chasing into school the little
urchins who go scudding down' 'alleys;
and by-ways in the frantic endeavor to
avoid the eagle eye of the much dreaded
"cop."
But here we are at the High. School.
There are only three in the city one on
each side of the river which are known
as the North, South -and West Division
High Schools. Here we find but one
entrance and one stairway which serves
for all, the building being very much on
the same plan aa the others, with this
exception. The building is divided off
into the section for those who take
Latin. The course for the two is just
the same with the exception -of this
study, the pursuance of either of which
is entirely optional with the pupfl. Four
years is required to finish the complete
course and the studies are arranged in
the following manner: First year Latin,
algebra, English literature, physiology
and physical geography. Second year
Latin, geometry, English literature, gen
eral history and trigonometry. Third
year Latin, phylosophy.
French, botany, zoology and
hteratare. Tbe lourtn and anal year
embraces .Latin, jsngnea literature,
French, astronomy, astrology ant min

as yoa aee, an continued throughout the
four'yearsr The foQowiag are read in
Latin: BoaumaadGraettlnatory.CsBSBr's
Gallic Wars, Virgil, and the Dliad. The
works of all the best authors-Milton,

are the coarse in English literature, so

.But nowwe will take iast a glance
into one of the rooms of the third year
where we shall find the class at work
upon ohemistiy. Upon the table are all

professor is just making aa experiment
with the air-pump, and interesting it ia,
too. Lying all about ia the moat oon
faaing array of machines, thermometers,
glass tabes, basins, drags and electric
batteries. With such exceptional aad
unlimited means, surely one ought to be
able to obtain a most complete and prac
ticable knowledge of the properties of
drags. One thing noticeable is the'
arrangement of the windows. In none
of the rooms does the light enter from
more than two sides. The regulation of
the heat and ventilation is another very
important item. The pupils are given
most strict orders never to raise or lower
windows or to touch the steam pipes
without the permission of the teacher,
and a janitor passes'f rom room to room
at intervals to see that the temperature
is kept strictly at 70.
But now it ia 2 o'clock and aa the ses
sion in the High School closes at that
hour, with only a half hour's nooning,
the gong of tbe bell is heard and just aa
in the Grammar School, tbe pupUa pre
pare to leave. The same order prevails
in. regard to leaving, also, everyone being
required to vacate the building at the
specified time. But aa they pass down
we see that here they-are really young
men and women, and did you notice they
were in every instance called by the sur
name, with the prefix master or miss
instead of as formerly by the given
name? Pupils in the High School, how
ever, are given almost unlimited freedom
in regard to their actions, the former
rigidity of the Grammar School being
entirely done away with, and as they go
along laughing and chatting, tbe thought
.comes what a grand, invaluable opportu
nity is given the pupils of this great city
to acquire that knowledge, that deep
understanding and wisdom which is to
enable them to climb the golden udder
of success and to attain that high rank
which only a good education can give
and which only a good education can
hold. It is that knowledge which is to
