Tin' ITcrald takes exceptions to
Senator Van Wyck'a views on curren
cy and finance. The senator is put
down as "a political demagogue who
appeals to the prejudices and passions in
of the people for a purpose instead of
trying to improve their understanding
and enlighten their judgment. " Now ,
what ) purpose has the senator to sub
serve and upon what point [ has he
sought to mislead the people ? Qon. of
"Van Wyck entered upon his position
as senator less than six months ago
and consequently has still more than
live years and a half to servo in the
" senate. Ho has nothing to ask or
expect of the people as a politician
and therefore can have no purpose in
appealing to their prejudices or pas
muiis. Ho has simply called attention
to the fact that the capi of
talists and money lenders who
a few years ago predicted
dim disaitor because there was too if
much paper currency afloat , are now
Hauling hundreds of millions of fiat
stocks and bonds which at any time
may become utterly worthless , This
IK' literally true , and Senator Van
"Wyck has in no way committed him1 the

rency by calling attention to the reek-
lea * gambling in wild cat stocks that wo

POSTAL PROJECTS.
1'oslmnstcr General Jarni'J , who is
a man of practical ideas , proposes to
urge upon congress nt its next session
the advantages of establishing posJal
savings banks and n postal telegraph
system in connection with the post-
ullito. ! It is understood that the post-
master-general has had prepared the
outline of a system modeled on that
01oi
oi Great Utilain , which contains many
improvement ! ) upon its model. The
fact will bo cited that in almost every
country in Europe the telegraph sys
tem is operated by the govcrnnioiit ,
usually with success in every way. It
isd not understood in the postofiico
department ( why such a system
should not succeed in the United
sliSI
Status. It is asserted that it would
not bo so easy to establish aa the sav
ings bank system , but once established
it would be , it is believed , as success
ful an that of England , which , ten
years after its establishment , yields n
net revenue of a million a year. The
proposition to build now government
lines to compete with the pri
vate linca now in existetico is
not regarded favorably. The plan
advanced in congress last Bonsion will
probably bo that recommended if any
scheme ! is formulated. It embraced
the appraisal of the property of ex
isting telegraph companion and its
purchase at cost price. The act of
18GG , granting the right of way
through public lands , and the privil
ege to telegraph companies author
ized the course proposed in the case
of any company accepting its pro
visions.
All the loading telegraph compa
nies have accepted its terms , and are
hold to bo subject to its provisions.
Twenty millions , which is about { ho
Tpr
.pricepaid by Great Britain under
similar circumstances , ten years ago ,
for the private telegraph lines of the
United Kingdom would , it is claimed ,
bo reported to bo the value of the
private telegraph lines of the United
States . by the commission of appraise
ment.
This is it very practical project but
there are altogether too many con
gressmen holding Western Union
KriK
franks , telegraph and national bank
stock to allow such radical changes to
bo made. Jay Gould , Vanderbilt and
other magnates who now control the
American telegraph system are not
likely to lot this control pass out of
their hands without a struggle.
ON TO DENVER.
The organization and incorporation
the Burlington & Missouri Ilivor
railway in Colorado dispels all duubls
to tlu intention ot the Burlington
management to push forward with all
possible dispatch into the territory for
which they have BO long been aiming.
Contracts and agreements made with
difficulty and violated with impunity
by both parties havouiitil recently ,
restricted the western extension of the
line to the limits of this state. The
invasion of the B. & 51. territory by
the Missouri Pacific haa resulted in
an open broach bbtwoon the two mo
nopolies , and as a consequence Ne
braska will soon bo traversed by an
other overland route which at no dis
tant day will have its western termi
nus at San Francisco.
Reports from the Republican valley
state that work on the- ono hundred
milo extension of the Republican Val
ley road is being pushed forward with
all dispatch by the contractors , and
that the remaining two hundred miles
road will bo contracted
for ns speedily aa possi- .
bio. The probabilities are that
before the conclusion of next year
trains will bo running into Denver
over the now route. If the conflict
ing rumors from the west are to bo
believed , a connection with the Utah
Nevada extension of the Denver &
llio Graudo road will giyo the now
combination an outlet to the Pacific ,
which'must prove"of immense ctnn-
morcial advantage to' the monopoly-
ridden coast.
LKHS than two weeks 1170 our pub
lie schools wore reopened for the fall
term. It is presumable that after a
two months' vacation the teachers are
no imminent danger of breaking
down from overwork and their pu
pils run no risk trom the strain upon
mind or body by prolonged mental
exertion. Upon what grounds can the
board of education justify the closing
the public schools on Wodnusday
for the remainder of the \rook ?
Was there * any urgency to give
the teachers who draw salaries
for full time three days for at'
tending the utato fair ? Can a
visit to the state fair compen
sate for the loss of invaluable time ,
which the 0,000 school children of
Omaha sustained by being kept out
school since Wednesday ? Would
not half a day afford ample time for
teachers and pupils to visit the fair ,
there is absolutely any necessity for
such an entertainment ? Why should
Hot the public eohools bo closed every
time a circus , minstrel troupe , or
puppet show come to ontcrtain our
citizens ? On behalf of the patrons of
Echoola , as well aa the tax-payers ,
outer protest against Huch needless -
less waste of time and money , and
hopethe school board will never
countenance another fair week vaca
tion.
OTHER LANDS THAN OURS.
The reaction in England in favor of
a protective tariff by which already
thrco Liberal scats hnvo been lost in
parliament , is attracting much atten
tion from economists and creating
some alarm in political circles , Anew
now clement seems to bo forcing it
self into British politics which is likely -
ly to cause , in the end , a readjustment
of existing parties on a now basis. The
cry of "Fair trado" doubtless is not
intended to cover designs looking
lo n protective tariff on so
wide a scale us thai existing
in our own country. The leaders of
the movement , however , will proba
bly not be able eventually to restrict
their platform to the few articles of
food and manufacture which they now
propose to protect. American competition -
tition in breadstuff * and cutlery , in
cottonn and machinery is making itself -
self felt so/lisaairoiiRly that the agita-
tlonjfor increased protection oncobcgun
can scarcely bo repressed. The bad
harvests have also much to do with
the growing feeling of discontent.
Statistics of the harvest in England'
have just boon prepared for a French
agricultural publication , based partly
on personal observation , but chiefly
on the reports of 205 correspondents
in various parts of the country. The
state of the crops is designed by fig
ures , taking 100 as an average crop.
In this way the state of the wheat
crop is described by 00 , while com
plaints of short straw are very gener
al. Barley m the crop of the year ,
being represented by 110 and of a
good quality and colors. Oats is the
worst cereal crop of the year , its con
dition being given at. 80. If favora-
bio weather continues till the conclu
sion of the harvest in the north the
figures 03 will bo rather under than
over the yield. It is expected that
there will bo a yield of 10,000,000
quarters , or nearly 1,000,000 quarters
more than last year , making it neces
sary ( o depend for about 13,000,000 ,
quarters from foreign sources. The
potato crop is average and the huy
crop is only C.5 , but generally good. * .
It must bo remembered that the
harvest last year with which that of
the present year is compared was un
usually bad.
The meeting of the emperor of
Germany with the Russian czar ,
which took place at Dantzig lust
week , will , while giving occasion for
many profound guesses , probably turn
out to have been of real importance
only in ono respect. The present czar
of llusaia has long boon counted
among the moat decided and uncom
promising representatives of the "old
Russian" sentiment , which is un
friendly to all foreign and especially
to German influence. It was there
fore supposed that his acces
sion to the throne- would mark the beginning -
ginning of an anti-Gorman tendency
in the foreign policy of Russia , which
might become dangerous to the peace
ful relations of the two countries.
The irritation of feeling between the
Berlin and .Petersburg government ,
which followed upon the conclusion
of the treaty of Berlin seemed to ren
der those relations still more preca
rious. The meeting of the two sov-
( jroigns , which appears to have been
vary cordial , has probably had the
effect of strengthening on both
sides the inclination to diaposo of
whatever questions there may bo or
arise between the two countries in an
nmicablo spirit , and it may therefore
bo looked upon as a sign of lasting
peace in that quarter. It is also
probable that the two monarchs and
their ministers have exchanged ex
pressions of Rympathy about the nihi
Hats and the socialists , who trouble
thorn respectively , and pious wishes as
to their nupprcsslon. But inasmuch
as they are already doing in that di
rection all that can bo done , the con
ference h not likely to have now and
startling results in tliat respect. There
will undoubtedly be great mystery
about tliu fwbjoctft that have boon dis
cussed hero , and that kind of mystery
ia usually bust maintained when there
is very little to conceal , an may bo the
01130 * in thin instance.
The anti-Jowish movement in west
ern and southern Iluesia Jian been
atrocious in massacres and incendiar
isms. Down to the end of Juno no
fewer than sixteen towns have boon
wholly or partly burned down. Four I
of these , Vitebsk , Bobruisk , Slonim
Mohileff , wore places cf considerable
importance , each oilo owning a popu
lation of ever twenty thousand souls.
Tito remaining twelve townships
Volkovisk , Novogrudok , Luptz ,
Betel , Garadiah , Nouatiidt-Schirwindt ,
Aujjustovo , Ponivios , Krukanovo ,
Kyodom , Podsolvi and lladzk
numbered respectively from four to
eighteen thousand inhabitants. Since
tliu 1st of July several other cases of
arson have occurred , the most destruc
tive of which took place in the cities
of Korez and Minsk , During the
great Koroz Fire ono thousand and
twenty houses and shops were reduced
to ashes , among thorn the grand syna
gogue and ulovcn smaller places of
worship , Thiity-nine portions wove
burnt to death , live thousand were
rendered homeless paupers , and nine-
tenths of the whole population wora
left without n roof to cover their heads ,
The losses inflicted upon the inhabi
tants of Minsk by the subsequent con
flagration of that city are estimated
as nt least thrice as heavy as these
sustained by Korcz. Committees for
the relief of the sufforcrn have boon
established In Berlin , Cologne and
many of the leading German provin
cial cilicB.
Tunis is in a state of revolt after
three months of occupation by the
French troops. Thirty thousand men
are in the field , but even Algiers In
imperiled , and reinforcements are
hurrying to tlio scene of hostilities.
The French believed they had the
country in their grasp within a week
after their troops crossed the frontier.
They have discovered that it is ono
thing to capture an incompetent
ruler and bind him to their
will , but quite another to
subdue his people. Meanwhile , the
religious excitement of the Moslems
is penetrating the very heart of the
"dark continent. " A now prophet has
arisen in Soudan , prcachirg a holy
war for the unification of all Mos
lems under the Caliphate temporal
. and spiritual , of the Sultan , en
' dangering the peace of Egypt's south
ern provinces , Franco haa managed
to create BUCI ! a disturbance as she
could not have forscon , else she would
not have been so forward.
The second elections in Franc 3
have still further strengthened the
moderate , republicans , and have re
duced the monarchist parties to com
plete insignificance. The republican
loft and the republican union , the
former led by M. Ferry , and the lat
ter by M. Gambctta , will have such a
majority , if they can bo permanently
united , aa no party in France has had
since the restoration. The only diffi
culty in the way of their per
manent allianca is the dis
position of the more extreme
members of the republican union
to act in many questions with M. Die-
mencoau and his radical following ,
rather than with BI. Gambctta. M.
Clemcncoau is evidently a rising man
in French politics a mau of that sin
cere and unrelenting loyalty to an
idea which fascinates the French and
repels the English intellect. No ono
knows how many votes ho may rally
at some inconvenient moment. As it
is , ho is the only rival M. Gambctta
now has in point of intellectual and
personal force.
Considerable alarm is felt in Gor-
many at the acccsaion of the Pan- [
Slavist or Moscow party to power
since the now czar came to the throne. '
The frontiers of the Teutonic and
Slavic races-are badly defined , there
being many millions of Slavs under
the Teutonic rule of Germany and
Austria , and a considerable body of
Germans under Russian rule in the
Baltic provinces. The now party
starts from the principle that all
Slavic people are entitled , if not fo
autonomy , at least to rulers of their
own race. It sympathizes with the
national aspirations of the Poles in'
Poacn , the Czechs .in Bohemia , the
Slavonians in Hurigaria , and the
Croats and the other Slavs in the
southern provinces of the dual em
pire. It will throw the moral and
diplomatic influence of Russia on their
side when occasion offers , and per
haps it will go oven farther than the
use of influence in case of an uprising.
Largo increase is noted in the re
turns made of live stock and fresh
meat importations from the United
States into England. For a single
week in August the quantity of live
stock was double the quantity for the
week preceding it , and in fresh meat
there was considerable advance , par
ticularly in beef , The totals were :
Cattle , 1,808 ; sheep , 2,800 ; quarters
of beef , 4,748 ; carcasses of mutton ,
151) ) . No hoys whatever were landed.
Moro pigs , however , were raised in
England last year than for some years
previous. There uro now in the coun
try 2,018,000 of them , or an increase
of 47,102 over 1880 , and 411,525 ever
1870.
The Russian army has been greatly
increased and the military budget has
risen from 181,000,000 rubles in 1879
and 180,000,000 in 1880 , to 200,000-
000 in 1881. In accordance with this
increase it has boon found necessary
to reduce the expenses by the forma
tion of four grand territorial armies
in the place of the ton districts at
each of which has been maintained
heretofore a commander-iii-chief.
Matters still remain unsettled be
tween Chil and Peru. Tlio terms de
manded by Chili are so humiliating
that their acceptance BOO ma impoasi
ble. She demands the cession of
three of the Peruvian provinces , a
pledge that the forts and navy will
not bo placed in repair for forty
years , the payment of the entire -
tire expenses oftho war and
a division of the guano trado.
Pern asks for nnoxation as being le a
onerous. Such an annexation % vould
incrcaao the population of Chili from
2,000,000 to 0,500,000 , it is true , but | r litho
the annexed 11,000,000 would bo for | n
ages a rebellious , discontented people.
Peru , instead of becoming a source of us
rovtinuo , would bo a constant drain on
the coffers of Chili.
A now census has been taken in | w
India , and the total population is lltl
round 250,000,000 souk , or something tl
more than five times the population

The quectlon of admitting colored chil
dren to all the schools of Springfield
Ohio , is again tearing up the minds of th
people of that city. The only j ust and th
only permanent way to settle this nues-
tion is to abolish the color Una entirely
and to allow cqunl privileges to every
child of school ngo everywhere.
The management of Swathmore college ,

A Free Education League has been
formed in Great Britain to procure UK
abolition of all fees in connection will
national education. The league cites thi
example of the United States in free edu
cation and note ? that France , profiting bj
the experience of other cationst has thia
year established free education in all hfr
primary schools. "Notwithstanding the&e
instructive examples , " the secretary's cir
cular says , "the'tcndency of the education
department of her majesty's privy counci"
has been to raise the scale of school fees ,
and thereby to minimise the benefits o :
the education act. It is further stated
that the conviction is rapidly growilig
that unless Great Britain is to fall behind
other nations in education- rejohitc
movement should at once bo made in tin
direction of abolishing tlio charges for ad
mission to public elementary schools ; am
that with this view the free education
league has been formed. "
THE Now York Tribune said the othe
day : "The largest school house in Amer

street , between Second and Third avenue
nue- , facing the American Institute. It
is built upon a plot of ground 125 feet
front by 1U8 feet deep , it has n frontage o
113 feet deep , nnd a depth of 123 feet. '
Whereupon the Boston Transcript coolly
walks up and takes the cake thus : "The
largest bchool house in America is com
pleted. It is built upon .a plot of ground
220 feet by 340 feet , and is known as the
English High and Latin school house.

Shoes ought to bo cheaper after this
for "the patent on the McKay wax
thread sowing machines haa expired.
It is thought that the royalties on this
machine amounted to $1,000,000 a
year in this country. One manufac
turer , Joseph Davis , paid as high as
830,000 per annum to the patentee.
The basis of the machine was an in
vention by Lyman 11. Bluko , of Ab-
ingdon , MIPS. , who in 1858 patented
an arm wcrkinr' inside the shoe , and
sowing directly through the upper and
both soles without the use of
welt. Mr. .Gordon McKay
bought this invention for $8.000 ,
and the Mathias patent , for channel
ing a shoe , for § 9,000. Then , in 1864 ,
Blake placed an alcoholic lamp in the
arm or "horn , " which kept the wax
thread warm and made the machine
capable of doing the finest sowing ,
The main patent was what was called
a "prccess and product" patent , under
which it was successfully claimed that
no other machine could be put on the
Ir
market to do the samework. . One of
the first lot of machines was bought
by E. 0. Burt and George Silver , of
Now York , but gradually other largo
maniifucturera came in until it is
estimated that there are now 1,800
machines in use , which do the hulk of
the machine shoo sowing of the coun
