Republicans have every reason for confidence that the coming campaign will be the most thoroughly organized sud carefully planned of any in the history of the party since thatof 1860. The committees into whose hands tlie management of the canvass has been placed , are composed of judicious lead- ' era , clear-Bighted organizers and ex- lellent political workers. The prelim inaries have been carefully sr- ringed. There is no defection in the party ranks. Without exception , the great leaders of tbe Republican party propose to engige in the canvass notwithstanding re ports to the contrary hatched up by democratic tricksters. All the candidates before the Ohtcpgo conven tion announce themselves as workers in the campaign , and Secretary Sher man and Senators Elaine , Cockling and Cameron have already made a number of engagements to speak dur ing the canvass. Sacretary Sohurz is already in the field , and his opening , speech shows how thoroughly in I earnest , ihe administrations is in its i support of Garfie'd and Arthur This I is naturally b matter of great disap * , p intment to the democrats , who have been laying to their souli the flatter- j- inj unction that the republican party n IB torn by discord and rent by faction , f , Suon is not the case , and reports from v cxery section of the country indicate a a shoulder to "shoulder canvass in the n republican ranks , which is a most sat f , isfactory earnest of victory in Kovem- e bcr. There is little of the banner I ] raising and torch-light procession bu i- tj aas as yet. The republicans are inclined to leave the majority of this part of the campaign to the dem- r > ocracj , the mass of whose followers K cannot be touched by any other means. Bat on the republican side atC the ISSUM of tbe canvass will be pre C sented br tiie party speakers and by a thorough diffusion of campaign liter ature , in which the prinoTpil points of the canvass , the records of the oppos ing candidates , and the cervices of tbe two parties will be carefully and plain ly ait forth. ih Thetepublican committee ve full na of quieiconfidenc * .

The board of education will pro a- b'y come to a deci'lon on the reorganize nize- of our Bchocl system and tbe selection of a mper'ntendent at their meeting to-night. We still adhere to the opinion that we need a mere viz- nrnus adtn'n stration of our pullie schools and a luaterial advancement in the 8tandrJ of thehinh f enrol in n-der to mflke it practically efficient a * meana of education. We are con vinced that frr a number of years paet such efficiency has b ° en the great want of ojr fchocl urgamz.tion , and we j -in with the majority of our ci'isens in dermndini ; a thorough nd pr < o'i- l-enlution"bf the matter by the board of education. It needs only a comparison of the chrol etatistics of to d y with thoee of eight years ago to show such Omaha's public schools have not Lept moo with the progr < a of the cityand if the testimony of thoss most inter ested m their success be believed , that failure is duetotl eirrjeglectinkreping with the educational advance of the day. Some years * go , when Frores or Nightingale was super m.endent < f our city echo * 1 , and the present scbo 1 pyattm had just been o-g nized , the statistics of our tohool atteudat 0 % weie as fol'ows : _ _ Whole number nf pupils attending jiublic fchoola . 2,241 Whole nuinbtr of pupils attending private schools . 274 Of th.ee who attended public schools , 60 were enrolled in the High school , j which number 4.7 weie in regulur''aUrndt > nce. Superintendent Beals' report for the present yenr will show that dur ing the last school year the whole number of pupils attending the public schools of out city has been 3,517 , whjle in the prirsta and sectarian shools neatly 1,000 children are en rolled. Theee figures are very suggestiye. Duiing the pst right years the popu lation t < f Om h * has nearly doubled. Ttie mcreaieiu tbe school population has b < > en proportionately large. our publio school to tUo emp'rgencyj oraaha ought tohve , ir t'ns ratio of Increase , at lesst 4500 childrrn in the public achi ols. If the city sshooli were up to their full effi ciency , tbe atiendxnce at ths private and sectarian schools would to-day f < ll below 300 or 400.

It is evident tint something is radi > cilly wrong eitherin our system or ita anmini-tratlon The reinecy ? is pliin. What Omaha nefda to day , and what her pjup'e ' demand , is a'a adminis'n- tion active , efficient and.-fibreatt of the times. Tne superintendenry and Its assistants must be filled by experts , not by men from vil- Use sohools. or private semi naries , but by eHuca'ors who have had experience in th6"olgsnzttion nnd tnanagemoi t of "schools m large cities.

" The neg eot to insure it to ita fall value seems an inexcusable oversight , which should at once be remedied. THE accident at ' Thursday's fire was no doubt portly owing to the wash-out on the corner of Douclas and Six teenth.
