OMAHA HIGH SCHOOL
TUB DEE nnd some of the Omaha
pcoplo are coining to understand that
Omaha has no high school worthyof _
the namo. She has nn expensive
building , d prtlfrea niKil ! or , at least ,
next to nothing beyond.
Omaha'is large enough , nnd important
tan enough , to have a first-class high
school ono that shall bo a feeder nnd
a Iraing school for the teachers of her
lower departments , besides being as
good a substitute na such n school can
be for I the college in fitting its students
for business anil practical life.
Besides , it ought to have a bearing
and an important influence upon the
schools of the state , as in some sonao
the head and centre of our common
school system. Wo ought all of us to
bo able to look up to it , as not only
in an important sense ours , but as
something ; also lo bo proud of some
thing adding largely to the culture
and educational newer of the state.
It is needless enough to say that as it
in , wo cannot.
There are several obstacles that
must first ho removed , before such nn
end can bo attained. First and fore
most , The Omaha Herald muct cither
cease to decry the high school , as a
part of our school system , or the people
pie must como to disregard its inane -
ano and forty-ycars-buhind-tho-tiincs
mumblings on the matter.
mmfl , the wealthy and prominent
citizens of Omaha must ccaso sending
their children abroad for n high school
education , and patronize their own
homo : school ; or else the masses must
aroiiso and take the school bits in
their ! own teeth , send their children
tot ! high school , and BO make it
03 they can a manifestly bettor and
more effective school than those out
side .schools , to which so many Omaha
boys and girls are now sent.
The former is the better way. It
better that the children of the
wealthy ! and of the common classes bo
educated together so far as their
educational attainments are the satno
than : that they bo trained separ
ately.
atolT'
Than this separate training , there
are few I agencies more powerful in fos
tering ) class aversions and hatreds ,
that in many cases finally urow into
labor difficulties , if not coininuni.sia
itsol
But if the wealthy insist on such
separate training , there is iiothinir
loft for the mosses to do , but to avail
thomsulvcs of , the provisions of the
school law and system , tax the whole
body _ politic to support it , nnd thus
provide a training for their own
children that shall bo equal to that
obtained in tha aristocratic schools.
Lot Omaha obviate atiy such result.
Let her citizens bo equal to the re
sponsibilities , as the commercial qon-
of our state and mnka horeelf the
educational center , also , so far as our
common school system is concerned.
She can do it. AVill she improve the
opportunity nnd do itf Jlaidnys Nc-
ax ,
Professor Williams hits the nail on
head. As an experienced educator
cato ho is
thoroughly qualified to ox-
pros sound views about our public
schools , and wo" fully agree with
him that Omaha owes it
- herself as > the metropolis
Nebraska to elevate the standard
her high school. Unless this is
done thu money expended in main
taining : n high school in Omaha at
public expense cannot bo justi
fied The wealthy citizens of Omaha
far us wo can observe do not insist
separate training. Their boys nnd
mingle and associate with the
boys'nnd girls of the middle nnd
poorer ; classesin , tlic graded schools
without -the slightest friction. But
when the high school grade i.s
reached almost ? r every parent
can afford it-sends his boys and
abroad , because the Omaha high in
school is lamentably below what , such
schools are in other cities , both cast
west. Just aa soon as our high
school can command the talent and
necessary number ot teachers for the
various branches of instruction- that
taught in high schools , of estab
lished reputation , .the wealthy pcoplo
Onmlm < will ccaso to patronize the
schools abroad.
Our high school has for some years
eun treated with step-motherly in-
diOorcnco nmitify on the loa that
funds at the Uisposal of the board
education were insuflicioht to al
ow the maintenance of n full faculty
teachers , The fact that thu attend-
inco at the high school was compara- ,
ivoly small was alao pointed to as n
oason for limiting the number of ,
o.icheru and paying very nnuluralo \
iilarios. It is % solf-oviduut that thu ,
Binall nttundanco was the direct con- .
equonco of this falao economy.
Whether any improvement can be
loped for this fall is very doubtful ,
view of the fact that our public
ohools depend lartjoly upon thu in
come from finoa and licenses. Should ,
present dead-lock in the city con-
inuo for any length of time the in-
omo from licenses will fall short of .
estimate , and the school board will
without the necessary means to
maintain even the graded schools , 01
ANOTHKH historic landmark will 1
soon disappear before the march of im
provement. The oldest building in
Now York City and most interesting
its historic asaociations is to bo
pulled down this fall to make room
a modern ton-story block. .
Cyrun W. Field purchased the old
Washington hotel property , at the
corner of the Battery and Broadway ,
other day , and will tear it down.
The old structure was built in 17-12
a British admiral for a residence ,
was in its day the finest house in
country. During the revolution
period it sheltered most of the
commanders of the British forces , and
Major Andre was a guest under its
roof just before ho made hit * fatal
jouriioy up the Hudson.
After Now York was occupied by
the continental army it became the
favorite headquarters of Washington.
Mr. Field will put np on the site a
building ten stories high , to bo rented
for offices , chiefly , though ho pro
poses the three highest stories for a
hotel , and is of the opinion that pco-
plo will not object to a perch so near
the clouds when n steam elevator is
put in to take them up and briiiff them
down ,
OTHER LANDS THAN OURS.
The prorogation of the British par
liament last week brought to a close
one of the most remarkable sessions
in English history. After nine months
'labor the only measures of importance
which came to their final passage were
the Land bill and Coercion bill. The
Coercion bill may in ono ROIISO bo
said to have been a condition of the
Land bill because Mr. Gladstone
would probably not have succeeded in
retaining for it the nupport of the En
glish and Scotch constituencies if ho
had not accompanied it by the cre
ation of extraordinary penal machinery
for the maintenance of law and ordor.
To bo sure , the Coercion bill led to
obstruction by Mr. Parnoll'a fol
lowers , but their obstruction was ,
after all , n trilling misfortune com
pared to what the alienation of the
English nnd Scotch would have been.
Everybody admits that nobody but
Mr. Gladstone could have carried the
Land bill under any circumstance ;
but oven ho could not have carried it
if no attempt had been made to chock
the Irish "outrages. " But the Coor-
cion bill did not check them ; in fact ,
it increased the exasperation which
led to them,1 'and in the opinion of
some of the best judges of Irish affairs
was a sorry substitute for the vigor
ous enforcement of the ordinary law.
There is no doubt that the Land bill
has been deprived of a good deal of
its power as n moans of reconciliation
by being : tacked on the Coercion bill.
The Irish members have learned the
meaning of obstruction and will
probably continue it as a means of
agitation until some radical change is
made in the relations of Ireland toTe
the imperial parliament. Already so
moderate an Irish malcontent as Sir
Charles Gavan Duffy has declared
that "thu price of peace in Ireland is
the concession of not only their own
government nnd their own parliament ,
but their own military nnd naval
forces and their own distinguishing
flag. "
These are things which probably
neither ho nor anybody else will over
see ; but there will bo a powerful
Irish group in the house of commons
trying for them through the means to
which they find Englishmen most sus
ceptible disorder in parliament.
THK general result of the French
elections is to strengthen the moderate -
orate republican party in the cham
ber ot deputies. The loft and ad- ,
vancod left will have a majority
against both the monarchists and the
radicals , and the lines of division be
tween the two halves of this majority
have become less distinct than
during the campaign. This indicates
that the now chamber will bo more
antagonistic to the senate than the
old was. It will bo more vehement
itajdotonnination to carry such meas
ures as the education laws , and perhaps
the Scniiin'dc Liite. Whether it will
march under the banner of M. Gam-
betta or that of M. Ferry , depends
upon the courseof conduct pursued
by the former. If ho is ready to take
ofllco at the head of a ministry , ho
can be as powerful as over. But the
day is past for him to rule Franco as a
roi faineant from the chair of the
president of the chamber. His vir
tual defeat at Belleville , whore ho was
elected for only ono of the two dis
tricts , warns him that ho is letting
power slip away from him.

victory of Sagasta is an assured liberal -

The socialist world congress will

Consul Potter , of Crefeld , Germany -
many , has collected statistics of labor
wages in seven localities in lUionish ,
Prussia , which would seem to indi 5will
cate that protection to manufactures
in that country , has not operated to :
increase the price of labor. While
theoretically a protective tariir ought
to.bring the laborers wages above the
utarvation point , and make trade
brisk , practically it has done none of
these things. It is "ot trade and
manufactures that are increasing , but
Socialism and popular dis
content , not workmen's wages ,
but emigration , The low
price of labor in Germany is positive
ly appalling , The average daily wages
of carpenters and joiners , as ascer
tained by Consul Potter are about 00
cents , plasterers 85 cento , locksmiths
CO cents , journeymen tailors 08 cents ,
and boot and shoo makers 38 cents.
The average wages of skilled workmen
and mechanics ot nil kinds for eleven
hours' labor is t > i ' cents. Common
laborers and farm hand "earn 45 cents
a day. Compare ihcso scanty sums
with the wages earned in the same oc-
cupations in the Umtod States. As
determined by the compilers of the
forthcoming reports of the census of
1880 { , the average pay of skilled me
chanics hero is $2 18 per day of ten
hours , nnd of common laborers 81 21
for the same number of hours This
is the I average of 20 principal cities ,
Skilled labor is paid four times as
much hero as in Germany , therefore.
From , the tables of market prices of
flour , butter , eggs , potatoes , beef ,
pork , and milk which Consul Potter
has ; prepared , the cost of living in the
Gorman cities where ho gleaned his
facts would seem to bo not much less
than in the United States. This coif
, . .
dition of affairs shows no signs of
abatement. . Wages sensibly dl
minishcd last year , nnd no bettor
tot times seem to bo in store
for the German workman. What
wonder that the hopelessness of good
times to como at homo is sending
thousands of families to this country.
Tho' cause of this commercial and
labor depression is easily found.
Onerous taxation , military require-
mcilts and the policy of strengthening
the whole of the empire at the ex
pense of its parts are weakening the
resources , of Germany. Until these
are remedied no cure can bo effected
for the malady under which the Gor
man people are suffering.
The report is cabled from Europe
that Henry M. Stanley , the intrepid
tVfricaii explorer , lies at the point of
death at the headwaters of the Congo.
Stanley has easily placed himself at
the head of African explorers. His
first expedition in search of Living-
stone was a splendid achievement , but
in his second great journey ho accom
plishcd results which every ono of his
predecessors had declared impossible.
Ho crossed the continent by descend
ing the Congo ; ho thoroughly sur
veyed Victoria Lake and near
ly completed a survey of
Lake Tanganyika. IIo ascertained
that the river Shirncoyu is the larg
est afllucnt of Victoria Lake , nnd
hcnco the truo'bcgiiming of the Nile ,
nnd established the fact that the
Lualaba and Congo rivoru are ono.

The young newspaper reporter prematurely -
maturely turned into a gray haired
man by care nnd anxiety , has accom
plished moro than any other explorer
and left little to bu done by his suc
cessors. ! His fame can over bo
eclipsed , and his exploits no'-or
equalled.
The harvest prospects throughout
Southern Russia are so brilliant that
if they should bo realized the farmers
think they will bo able to dispense
with any harvest during the next four
years. The unprecedented abundance
will bo dun to the abnormal quantity
of rain which fell during the last two
months , nor has it entirely ceased yet ,
BO that in some places pcoplo begin to
fear that they may have too much of
it. In thu governments of Klmrkofi
and Kherson the corn beetle has ap
peared , and in such numbers in the
former that the imperial government
is said to intend lending 100,000 rou
bles to the Xomstvo , or provincial land
assembly , towards the cost of exter
minating that insect.
The Wostlicho Post ( Gorman ) sees
in the Russian Judonhotzo n return to
the darkest of the middle ages. Of
the same anachronism in Germany it
says :
"And in this rcspoct the Prussians
are justifying the name Frciligrath
once bestowed on thoni , 'West Kal
mucks. " They are trying to outdo
the genuine Kalmucks. " -
The plnco of banishment for Mid-

The establishment of a line of
steamers between the port of Now
York and Bordeaux is an additional
evidoilco of the growth of our foreign
trade. The vessels of the now line
are appropriately named after the fine
wines of the Bordeaux district. Wino
will no doubt make the bulk of their
outward cargoes , and grain and pro-
visions will bo their return freight ,
This , if wo are not mistaken , is the
first cfl'ort to run a regular steam
line from Bordeaux to an American
port.

] 3y some moans , nnd wo have n
faint idea what that means is , Omaha
and her business men have nt last
como to their senses , nnd really ad
mit that there is such a place ns
Northeast Nebraska , and that the
tnulo of this great section is worth
something to the metropolis of our
stato. Heretofore this whole country
was supposed to bo tributary to
Omaha , and that little or nothing
need be done to hold it. The N.V. .
road was built on subsidy money because -
cause the pcoplo called loudly for an
outlet for their fast increasing pro
ducts ; this road was built also , to
hold the right of way , if Omaha
should over want to make an effort to
bring this country tributary to them ,
after the state land grant was ex
hausted , the building of the road
further was so dilatory , and the trains
run at leisure , freight exorbitant , the
people being at the mercy of the
Omaha capitalists. Much grumbling
was done at the way things were
managed , but little interest , was seem
ingly taken by Omaha whether they
had this trade or not.
Sioux Citv saw the opportunity and
immediately j took advantage of it.
The ' first move was to buy ui > the
right of way of our ono horse railway
to strike the trade south of it , nnd
immediately inaugurated improve
ments that are making a not work of
railroads all through northeast Ne
braska that makes that city the gate
way for our products. The great de-
volopnicnta this section has made in
the past two years , has proven that it
was a wise stroke , and that Sioux
City has taken from Omaha's grasp
that which now will require both time
and money to regain.
Communities arc similar to individ
uals , they will soil their produce and
buy their goods where they can do so
to the boat advantage.
As Nebroskatis we wish to BOO our
own metropolis have all the benefits
of our commerce , but when their best
business men can not see the benefits
of our trade until n rival has develop
ed the resources , then awake all at
once and sco whore that rival has
taken advantage of their tardiness ,
wo can but look upon the transaction
as n business ono. But wo are glad
that Omaha has at last waken up and
four.d out that there is a country that
naturally is tributary to it , and lying
so close to its doors , yet comparative
ly j n stranger to it. Perhaps they will
make some extortion to still retain the
handling of the products of this vast
and wealthy portion of our state. Wo
will see.
