THE Herald thinks that Judge
"Brings * views of twenty years ago c n
political questions are fit matters fo
discussion. One thing isery certain
1. L. Miller's views of twenty year
ngo are too well known to need publi
'iscassion. He was in favor of th
old party and a fat sutlcrshjp , and bo
sticks there yet.
Bosxoh'sschool board is discussing
the question of corporal puniahmen
in its public schools , and a comuitteo
appointed to investigate the questioi
his presented for consideration a
number of startling statistics bearing
upon the question. From the rcporl
of the committee it appears that in
nine-tenths of the schools of Boston
corporal punishment is a daily occur
rencp. In one of the grammarschools
duiing the month of October 241 in
stances of flogging are recorded , al
though the school numbers only 100
pupils , and in eight other schools the
pzreentage was but slightly loss. The
committee further reported that the
least capable teachers punished the
most and the moat successful the
least , and advised the passage of a
resolution abolishing corporal punish
moat as a means of correction.

I again deny that I ever said a state

donyallthe charges of the JTcraldwhicl

published in THE OMAHA BEE las
evening. I do not for the present
clurgo the editor of the Herald with
intentionally misrepresenting me
for it is a notorious fac
that no two men out a thousand troulc
agree as to what was said in that con
vontlon twenty years ago , or oven a
month ago. In my statement las

The editor says in his arlicle of the

I -voted with and acted with the re

of its support and confidence. This

by those most interested in knowing
what my views were.
Will the editor please explain
wherein the public is in the least iu
terested in knowing what I Bid , or did
not say in the streets of Omaha
twenty years ago ? There is no elec

HOW IT ORIGINATED.
Tu the Editor oi THE BEK :
The Omaha .Republican , Beatrice
Express , and , possibly , one or two
other sheets , quote each other back
and forth , "a writer In the Chicago
Times urges the appointment of P. W.
tlitchcock as secretary of the inter-
i3r , " etc. This is a mUtake. "A
writer in the Chicago Timct" does
nothing sf the kind , but , in pursuance
of an agreement entered into for pur
poses | f spoil by interested republi.
cans atd disappointed democrats , Mr.
J. SteHing Morton caused to be sent
a special telegram from Nebraska City
to the Chicago Times , some
ten day * since , mentioning
Hitincack'a name for the position
referred to , and the publications on
ihsisubject by two or throa Nebraska
paa rs are merely a part of the
Bcteme. The Times has not had *
word to say about-the matter outside
< > f the special telegram- d in that
ceptrtment it appearea jn t as would
an nccoant of a dog fight if its re-
markibly industrious cortcspondcnt
at thst busy newr center should send
a dispatch concerning it.
If commoa report is to be relied
upon , Mr. Morton himself has given
Currency to a little incident relative
* > the selection of a special committee
which would indicate that Mr. Hitch-
' ocks abilities
in a senatorial way
rare not hrld in very Hgh estimation
" 7 his associates at Washington. L.
The writer of the foregoing evident
ly knows whit he is talking about as
' the origin of the recent very weak
' > iii the interest of an individual
the people of Nebraska have
to estimate at hi ? true value.
THE NEW COURT HOUSE.
Now tjat Douglas counly has voird
bands for tbo erection of a new court
house , it is lo bo .hoped that the
county commissioners will s.t once
begin operations to secure this much
needed improvement to the city and
county. The circumstances of the
action. Onr
c se call for speedy
county records should be removed
rora their present dangerous quarters
as quickly as possible , and the work cf
procuring plans for the new building
should be pushed forward with the
greatest haste , consistent with the
interests of the people.
THE BEE , with the majority of the
citizens of Douglas county , hopes to
see a building erected which will bo al
once an ornament to Omaha
and a ssfe repository for our
coart and real estate iciords for
in my years to come. It fails to see
any economy in a building which in
a few years will bo inadequate
to meet the wants of our
ripidly growing county. For
this reason it considers the policy of a
cheap structure , as advocated by.the
OmihaJferaM , short-sighted and in
defensible. It trusts that the county
cjmtniraionera will be guided by the
experience of olher cities older and
wealthier than Omaha , which have
been forced by their rapid growth to
pull down their public structures and
at great expense reconstruct ; them to
meet tho/rcquirements of a largely
increased population. The aid voted
by our people is ample to provide a
structure not only suited to our pres
ent needs , but adequate for our future
requirements. Such a court-house
the county commissioners should en
deavor to secure as cheaply as is con
sistent with thoroughness of construc
tion and elegance of design within the
limits of the appropriation.
It is to bo hoped that Omaha archi
tects will bo given an oppsrtunity to
compote for the furnishing of plats
for the new court-house. THE BEE
would sugqcfit to the county commit-
siouers , the advisability of a free and
open competition for local talent.
The buildings which this year has
seen erected on our streets , show that
we have in our city men eminently
able to erect a structure which
would be a credit to any city.
While recognizing the circumstances
which necessitated the building of the
Douglas county jail by architects
from outside the city , we think that in
the present ciso our home draughts
men should have the preference. Let
our Omaha architects furnish compet
itive plans and elevations. Let such
plans and elevations be considered in
relation to their adaptability , ele
gance and cost , and the result , we
are sure , will be a pleasing surprise ,
bath to our board of commissioners
and to the people of Omaha and
Douglas county.
ELECTION ECHOES.
American politics are a never end
ing source of surprise and bewilder
ment to foreigners. The spectacle of
a people composed of BO many
differing elements and nationalities
governing themselves without cabinet
crises , popular revolution : and
political commotions , is one to which
the average European visitor to our
chores cannot be accustomed.
Especially is the surprise of our transAtlantic -
Atlantic cousins called forth by the
peaceful manner of holding the
presidential election , upon whose
result depends the tenure in office of
over 100,000 government employes.
"Such order , such quiet , such
obedience to both the letter and spirit
of the law can be found nowhere el e
in the world , " remarked Tom Hughes
to a friend as they stood in ono of the
streets of New York City watching
the great ballot battle which was be
ing peacefully fought at an adjacent
polling precinct.
Mr , Hughes' remark was strictly
the truth. In England nothing short
of a revolution could decide such
mighty interests as those which hinge
on our quadrennial election. The
parliamentary elections in the various
boroughs throughout the kingdom are
scenes of riot and disorder unknown
to American politics , while the day of
the general election following the dis
solution of parliament is marked by
excesses and disturbances of the most
disgraceful and violent character.
Such scenes are the attendants on po
litical contests in which patron
age plays the smallest possible part ,
and in which a change of
party may not affect the tenure of
office of more than an hundred indivi
duals. It can readily be imagined
what would bo the state of affairs if
every English office holder were per
sonally interested in the outcome of
the parliamentary elections , and if a
hundred thousand official positions
were virtually thrown in the scales to
be weighed by the > . voice of public
opinion.
But if the orderly manner in wh'ch '
we conduct our elections causes well
grounded surprise to out
siders , the fierceness and
vituperation of our political cam
paigns may equally be a cause of aa
tonishment. The license of speech
and press accorded to their
oritors and public journals by the
American people wouldbe permit ted by
no other government on the face of
the globe. The noblest and best
characters are not free from assault ,
and the most trivial failings of a can
didate arc exposed and treated as if
hey were the most atrocious crimes.
The best and noblest or our presi
dents have been the most abused.
Washington was denounced as a mon
archist , a coward and a fool ; Jeffer
son was called a communist and a
leveller ; Jackson was described as a
(
murderer and an autocrat ; Lincoln
was assailed as a clown and a tyrant ;
3rant as a Cesar , and Hayes as a
> arty traitor. In any other country
such virulcnc9 would be followed by
ibal suits and duels. In our own , it
s taken very much as a matter of
coarse , and considered more as di
rected against obnoxious prin
ciples than as personal to the
men who entertain them , while the
wounds given and received in a polit
ical campaign are soon healed by the
poultice of silence which follows the
cessation of the conflict.
Americans may justly point with
pride to their orderly clectionsand their
vigorous'political ' campaigns with their
noisy accompaniments of unbridled
orators and an unhampered pro-s.
They are constant witnesses to the
stability cf the republic , and to the
law-abiding qualities of the nation.
No other country could bear such a
strain on the prejudices and passions
of its body politic , simply because no
other country has a people which is
able and willing so readily to hold Us
personal prejudices and passions as
secondary to the welfare of the na
tion and to the perpetuation of the
principles upon which its government
was founded.
TIIE St. Louis Republican says the
democrats feel sure they were cheated
out of the vote of New York by out
rageous frauds. We presume they

with the loss ot New York than any
other agencies.

POETRY OF THE TIMES.
The Evening Star.
Along the grassy slope I sit ,
And dream.of other years ;
My h art is full of soft regrets ,
Aly eyes of tender years i
The wild bees hummed about the spot ,
The shep bells tinkled far ,
Last year when Alice sat with me
Beneath the evening star.
The sain ? sweet s'ar is o'er ma now ,
Ar.-und the same soft hours }
But Alice moulders in the dust
With all the last year's fljwers.
I nt alone , and only hear
The wild bees on the steep.
And distant bells that seem to float
From out the folds of sleep.
