"Science assures men that obedience to law is the only way of safety." "No social law has been able to des troy avarice and pride and false ambi tion." The Ohio senate has passed a bill granting women the right to vote at school elections. We do not hear of any person solicit ing their fellow-citizens to become dem ocrats these times. Czak Reed is a pretty good man after all, even according to the democratic members of this congress. Jack McColl, a well-known politician of western Nebraska, has announced himself a candidate for the governorship. The St. Paul Republican is authorized to Btate that A. E. Cady is not a candi date for congress. Well, make it gov ernor, then. TnE expense to Ogden by reason of the industrial army is estimated at $10, 000, which, under the decision of Judge Miner, is held to be collectable from the Southern Pacific Railroad company for bringing them in there. The industrial army Monday was forty miles east of Council Bluffs and traveling by wagon across Iowa, fed by the farmers along the route. The army are peaceable, well-behaved, intend to violate no law, and are going to Wash ington, they declare, to present them selves as a living petition to congress. Noani Carolina, in the death of Sen ator Vance, has lost a man of considera ble mark, and very popular with the people of his state. As governor during the rebellion he had some cases of griev ance against the administration of the confederacy, and it is very certain that Jefferson Davis was not Gov. Vance's ideal of the ruler of a free people. The New York Sun is not one of Cleve land's kind of democrata It says: "Senator IliU's warning has shot like a bolt of lightning through the mists in which the democracy was wandering under blind or besotted leadership. Democrats now understand the enormity of the price which Mr. Cleveland and Mr. Wilson ask them to pay for a ficti tious tariff reform and a personal victory barren of practical results." Some of our exchanges are coming to the belief that republicanism is so sure to win in Nebraska this year that it matters not who tho nominees may be. These are greatly mistaken. The expe rience of the past two years has tended to develop a sturdy and manful inde lendence in the party, and if there wbb ver a necessity for good, clean, strong candidates in the republican party of Nebraska, it is now. There was never a time when victory was more snre if good men are chosen, but wo should look well to the choice. Greeley Leader. Events of American history constant ly emphasize the value of intelligent manhood. Self-preservation is its first law, and sometimes its last resort The common people are all kings in a land of spelling books. The balloting booth is their throne room, the printing press delivers their judgment scroll. They confer responsibility and require accoun tability in the same decree. The pomp of ancient monarchies was a mimicry of 1 power beside our modern victories of sense. The country waits for congress and capital to act. Clnpp & Co's. Mar ket Letter. The Toledo Blade asks how much the democratic party has cost the country during its thirteen months of national power. Every manufacturer, every wholesaler and every merchant who pre pared for the storm sure to follow the threat of tariff for revenue only, can answer for himself what it meant to him. Every workman, who has been idle for the same cause, can make an estimate of the difference to him between the former times and these. Bradstreet's figures show a I06S by reason of the reduced volume of business, of an average of 31,000,000,000 a month. But this is not all. There is the falling off in the selling price of land, the losses to the holders of stocks of various kinds, and the thous and industries that go to make up the business of this country. It did not pay to invest the democratic party with power. A little boy lost his life recently in a panic at a school in Chicago, a steam pipe having burst. An exchange, re marking about this, says that in Minne apolis it would be difficult for this to happen, because the children are thor oughly drilled to meet such emergencies. "A fire alarm is sounded in every school every day. The children are taught to leave the room in a double or treble file, as the case may be, and are marched down the stairs, each class under the command of its respective teacher. Thus even wee tots acquire coolness and pres ence of mind, and learn to see and under stand that if they follow the teacher and do not lose their heads the danger of getting lost or hurt in a real fire is very slim. They are not permitted to run down the stairways: the columns move in a rapid, steady walk. Yet the Adams - school, forinstance, which contains some 1,600 pupils, is emptied in less than two minutes." Boy aid the High School. At the recent teachers' meeting in this city, Sup't J. K. Stableton read a paper entitled "How can we hold the boys for advanced work in the high school," which elicited more discussion than any other paper read before the association. The subject is one which touches the very life of the country, and we would be glad if we could give, in full, Mr. Sta bleton's paper; we give a summary. State statistics show an average at tendance of boys in high schools, of 31 out of a hundred pupils, some schools having lees than 18 per cent. Often in a class of six to twelve graduates in the smaller towns, there will be but one boy, "while in these same towns are numbers of boys who have squandered the time that would have placed them with the graduating classes. Not only have they squandered the time, but they have done worse, they have received an education in vice that tends only to unfit them for the rights of citizenship." There are too many teachers who have a false conception of the plan of the public school, thinking that the school was made for the teacher as a respectable means of support, and not for the chil dren, teachers who never ask themselves the question, What can I be to these young people? All such should be re placed by teachers of right motive. Another class of teachers in the higher grades that would materially increase the attendance of boys by their own non attendance, teachers that have not force enough to meet boys as boys and be equal to them, hence long for the time to come when the tiresome boys, for some reason, will be taken out; and the boys, as they find nothing of interest in the schools, except their own tricks to annoy the teachers, are equally anxious for the final day. Who can blame a really live boy for breaking the monotony of a life less school room by playing a trick that enlivens the teacher for a few moments at least? Boys in the higher grades soon see that they are not .gaining under such teachers, and so think the few dol lars that can be earned at odd jobs worth more to theimthan such schools, and the boys are not far from right. They be come restless under constant restraint, their activities are not directed, and so they drift out of school. If one-half the teachers would sin as little against the boys as the boys do against the teachers, there would be a much larger per cent of boys in the higher grades. Such weakness in the place of teachers, and then to even wonder why intelligent, active, Nineteenth-century boys do not want their instruction! The teacher to hold the boys in school must have unlimited faith in the out come of boys, in their evolution into noble men. The teacher's ideal of what they may be helps to make them what they should be. The true teacher does not dwell on the imperfections of the scholars, but continually points them to what they are to be until, by long pre occupation with their ideas, they become like them. Such a teacher seldom loses a boy. That teacher has a strong per sonality, an inspiring, uplifting influence that boys cannot resist; unconsciously they become attuned to the harmony of such a school life, and soon begin to be lieve in the reality of the future men their teacher thinks they are to be. "When once a boy's ideal is formed, the greatest fact in his education is accom plished. The right kind of teacher for the gram mar and high school grades will help to keep the boys to the end of the course. The paper dwelt on the qualities that make the successful teacher native ability, industry, application, and a full consecration to the work, and thorough sympathy with his pupil. In helping them to higher work, he is helping them to usef nl citizenship. Hundreds of boys, if wisely counseled by those whom they respect and trust, would not drop out of school, but they are not so counseled, and hence lose all the good they might have derived from the higher grade work. When the fact is well established that none but well-qualified teachers and suc cessful teachers will be employed in a school, there is built up in that commu nity a respect for the school that has a great effect in making it a prominent feature in the eyes of boys. This very respect helps to interest and to hold them. The people at large consider the boys of that school as worthy their esteem. The superintendent should be a man who knows how to get hold of boys. There are those who so fully appreciate boys in all their moods and humors that the moment they come among them, the boys by an unerring instinct discover this sympathy. In addition to this pow er the superintendent should be a stu dent and a worker, not a mere report and grade compiler, but a worker among the scholars. It is infinitely more important that he know personally the hundreds of scholars and throw around them the living, active interest in their welfare that will tend to keep them to their proper work, than that he have a most perfect record of the monthly or term grades of the, to him, unknown scholars. He should make himself felt in the community as an educator, the same as our Chancellor Canfield is making his influence felt through every educational fiber of the state, arousing our young people and pointing, yes, and by his own enthusiasm, leading them on, so the superintendent, if he does his work well, will make his influence felt in every home in the community where he labors. The superintendent can do more than any other one person to hold the boys by his own personal influence and earn est, untiring efforts. The best, the only way to keep a boy interested is to keep him busy, so busy that he realizes he is working, and not being entertained. Too close holding to grades is another discouraging feature, and Mr. Stableton suggests that work be done by the pupil in grades where work is needed. Give every possible encouragement and oppor tunity to learn, and place them where their associations will be helpful. The superintendent and teacher,-who are thoroughly alive, study carefully to know what will interest the boys, not only in their lessons, but in their games and social life; being deeply interested in what interests them, they Ioe no opportunity for good to those under their care. In a fight just outside the city of De troit, Michigan, Wednesday, between a force of Polish laborers seeking employ ment on the city waterworks extension and a force under the sheriff, two men were killed and a number fatally injured. Judge Albion Toukgee is talked of as a candidate for representative in con gress from the Thirty-fourth district of New York. If anything was needed to deepen .his republican convictions it came to him in the way of experience while he lived in the south after the war. He thoroughly believes in "free speech and free men," the first rallying cry of the republican party, as it always has been its watchword. Starting out on the proposal to oppose the extension of slaverj-, they have ever defended the rights and interests of all citizens, recog nizing the fact that in the battle of life (for it is a battle), the ballot in the hand of the voter, intelligently cast and hon estly counted, is far more powerful for good than the leaden bullet. The ballot is the freeman's weapon in this govern ment, effective against all the ills that come from unjust laws and unjust ad ministrations. Judge Tourgee has prob ably done as much as any one republi can now living to call the attention of the country to the rank injustice done by allowing the negroes to be counted as part of the basis of representation in congress and in the electoral college, and yet depriving them in great part of their political rights. Mr. Tourgee recently said: "Take away from the free-trade democracy of the south the sixty odd seats it holds in congress by means of the denial of free speech and the rights of citizenship, and northern industry would not be paralyzed by the threat of repeal of the protective tariff on which the comfort and prosperity of millions of northern homes depend." In addition to a review of the Cleve land Administration by ex-Governor Russell (Dem.) of Massachusetts and Senator Cullom (Rep.) of Illinois, the May Forum will contain a discussion of unusual opportuneness and point at a time when "armies" of tramps are march ing towards Washington of the ques tion whether the state should give aid to the unemployed, by Dr. Stanton Coit of New York, who favors state aid, and by Mr. D. McGregor Means, who argues that state aid means socialism. INERTIA. A DISEASE. A few- ThoughtM I'pou the Situation by an old Correxpondrnt of The Journal. Deak Journal: It is a long time since I wrote you last. It does me good to see you and renew acquaintance with the old familiar names. There have been very many changes in your community in the last few years. The old are passing away one by one, and the younger generation are taking their places. "Therefore be ye also ready." What do you think of the hard times and this universal uprising of the labor ing classes? Let me whisper into your ear some of my thoughts on this subject. These thoughts may not be worth much; take them for what they are worth. Let lis look at both sides for a moment. On the one hand it is true that legisla tion has some effect on the state of in dustry: on account of the changes in value which it may bring, and for other reasons. It is also true, that there is a constant tendency for the rich to oppress the poor, and for those in high life to take advantage of those lower down. The dissatisfaction of the laboring classes is not without foundation in these re gards; and there is, O, ever-so-much room for improvement. Legislative bodies ought to be much more careful than they are, not to do more harm than good by their tinkering, and those who are favorably situated in life ought to have more regard for the rights aud the comforts of those who are less favorably situated. What a lesson could be learned from the great journalist who recently passed away, of whom it was said, that "he was the angel of the church in Philadelphia." The golden rule is very fine even as a rule, but when actually put into use it becomes more precious than rubies or diamonds of richest lustre. "It is more blessed to give than to receive." Tho greatest thing in the world is kindness, love. But when all this has been freely ad mitted, much may also be said on the other side. First, legislation cannot create substance. All the laws on earth cannot produce one loaf of bread or one thread towards a coat. Then as to the classification into those who labor, and those who are rich and perform no labor. The idea so common among farmers and mechanics that merchants, bankers and professional men do not work, is a great mistake. As between those who toil with their hands, and those who toil with their brains, the latter have the harder time- of it by far. The nerve strain, worry, chagrin and weariness that in variably come to those in mercantile and professional life are a much greater bur den than any borne by the fanner or mechanic. The Germans have divided society into 3 classes, Naehrstand, Lehr stand, Wehrstand, food producers, teach ers and defenders. These three classes are all necessary, 'and neither can do without the other. There is no room for envy, as each class bears its burdens. Then again, it has always seemed to me, that people of all classes in this country have been spoiled by prosperity and when adversity comes, as it does now, they are utterly at a loss. It would hardly be true to say, that Americans are indolent, but what is true is this: They will work with a fury for a few hours, take the fort by one great on slaught, and then dress up and play the gentleman. I believe in the perseverance of saints in more than one sense. Then again, the division of labor has become so rigid as to work injuriously in many cases. A bricklayer, for example, will lay brick. If he cannot find anybody who wants brick piled up, will stand around on the streets all summer and scold. It never occurs to him to pile up limestone for a change, or plaster, or dig, or raise chickens, or milk cows, or saw wood or drive nails. Take the case of the farmer. He seems to have entirely forgotten, if indeed he ever knew, that the original and proper idea of farming is to raise everything and make every, thing that is needed, right on the farm. It never occurred to Abraham or Jacob, or Washington, to raise only a little wheat and corn and buy everything else for cash. They cared little for market prices, because they were independent of the whole world. A farmer ought to raise a little grain, mainly for bis own use, feed some cattle and hogs, also for his own use, do all his own building, keep his own blacksmith shop, do all his repairing on harness and machinery, do his own grinding (unbolted meal is the best in the world), and purchase only bis clothing, and that in exchange for wool grown by himself (I do not mean ou his own back). "Jack of all trades and mas ter of none" Is a fallacy, because skill and knowledge in one branch are a prep aration for skill in another. Any man with a fair brain, two good hands and two good legs ought to be able to plow a field, or preach a sermon, or build a house, or teach a school, or ligate an artery, or make a law, or wash a baby, or paint a picture, or write an editorial, or iron a shirt, or chop wood, or play the piano, or make sour kraut, or run for congress, and, brethren, the real difficulty is not, that you cannot do these things, but that you will not. Inertia is the mildest term that will express the dis ease of this generation. - C. G. A. Hullhobst. Lincoln, Nebr., April 20, 1894. Written for The Journal. Theodore Thomas aud His Orchestra.
