No POLITICS in our public schools.
LET us have honest city government.
TIIE bottom has dropped out of John
Sahlor'a ticket.
THE grievances of Mr. Brunor and the
schemes of Mr. Spocht must not bo al-
'lowed to TTXcck our public school system.
JOHNNY MAHONHY is running to keep
up his reputation on the political race
track. Ho was distanced before ho was
nominated.
TIIE tax-payoiB of the First ward can
not atlbrd to allow an honest and faithful
man like Mr. Thrano to bo beaten by a
contractor's ring.
IF Mr. Lane thinks that the patrons
of the public schools are willing to play
monkey to pull his chestnuts out of the
fire ho is very much mistaken.
IF the next council is to bo run by
sovror , and paving cammittoos Omaha
tax-payers may as well hold up their
hands while the robbers pick their pock
ets.
WE are always in favor of public im
provements , but when contractors form a
pool to plunder the tax-payers , wo must
call on citizens to rally in support of their
faithful public servants.
THE discovery that the Cincinnati riots
did not dccur in the far west has caused
a painful shock among professors of moral
philosophy who are at the helm of lead
ing newspapers on the Atlantic seaboard.
CINCINNATI is a place of varied resour
ces in the way of advertising. First came
the Ohio flood , then the riots , and the
next event there will bo the second dra
matic festival. Between its river , its
mrbs and its artistic and musical preten
sions , the "Paris of America" ia furnish
ed plenty of entertainment.
RECEPTIONS are now in order for Judge
Brewer , the now judge of the Eighth
United States circuit. The first recep
tion will bo given him by the bar of
Kansas City at the beginning of the May
term of the United States circuit court.
AVe suppose the Omaha bar will follow
suit.
Tns Iowa legislature has passed the
bill providing penalties for violation of
the prohibitory law passed earlier in the
session. The facetious suggestion of n
member , that the legislature lump the
whole matter and make the penalty
death , was not hooded , but the now
crime was put about on a level with burg
lory , if not with murder. It will bo
possible , under the now law , to imprison
a liquor seller twonty-uvo years and fine
w him S'2,500. These severe penalties are
likely to defeat the whole law , since i
will bo difficult to find juries willing
' either to indict or convict.
MR. BAIINUM having secured the valu
able endorsement ot Mr. Sickles as to the
color of his elephant , hastens to inform
Uy t the listening world of the important fact
through the convenient agency of the
Associated Press. Mr. Sickles says tha
the sacred elephant is not white , bu
light , with reddish spots. Mr. Sickles
was once United States consul to
Bangkok , Siam , whore white elephants
phants are thicker than blackberries
and if ho doesn't know about thorn , Mr
Barnura confidently believes that no on
does. It is pleasant to observe that ag
does not .impair Mr. Barnum's familia
faculty for'advertising his monstrositio
through the medium that reaches th
public moat .effectively.
TOE objection ia made to the bill order-
_ a recouoage of the trade dollars that
, it.will immensely benefit speculators who
. have bought the coins at 80 cents and
.will now sell them for $1.00 In this
war , it is estimated that they will clear
profit ( of between 500,000 and
$1,000,000. It is not altogether pleasing
to legislate money into the pockets of
speculators , but in tLU caao it aooma un-
jtvoidAbla. Tt jpetas would probablj

URE.
"When the civil service reform law was
> asaod ut the last session of congroas its
ailuro was predicted by many on the
round ot its utter inofllcioncy. Expert-
tico is showing that thoao prophets wore
not far from right. The law may not bo
otally useless , but it ia BO easy for the
> oliticians to got nround it that it is not
worth much. The examination * of can-
idatca which the commission carry on
ro little bettor than farces. A voty
mall proportion of Iho oxarainod have
> oen appointed , and many of thorn have
eon unexamined candidates passed over
heir heads by the aid of congressional
nfluonce. The commissioners , who arc
.homsolvos . the creatures of politicians ,
lave often assumed for themselves the
> atronago which was formerly exorcised
> y congressmen , and the old abuses
ontinuo under now names. Congress
men arc nlso nblo to interfere in the
iling of even thoao places covered by the
aw almost as freely as before it was on'
acted. All that is required is a little
more trouble and exertion. The candi-
late whom congressional influence favors
laa now to pass on examination. His
name is then handed in by the cotnmis
sion for appointment and the congress
man secures his choice , no matter
whether his name may bo first or last
upon the list , or what claims others may
mvo.
The commissioners themselves , by their
conduct , arc bringing discredit upon the
aw. Instead of performing the duties
which the people are paying heavily to
mvo performed , they are junketing
about the country tit the public oxponso.
? hey are paying" raoro attention to good
linnors and pleasant trips than to the
mrity of the civil aorvico. They have
once or twice displayed an inclination to
make their position a moro subterfuge for
; oing about the country to attend public
hows. In fact , there is reason to believe
hat the commissioners are almost as
much in need of reformation as the civil
orvico itself.
The law which created this body was
osignod to cover only a small number of
no unimportant ollicos of the govern
ment. All of the places which gave roomer
or the great abuses wore loft untouched.
Vhon it is considered that even in res-
> oct to those offices Bought to bo provi-
od for , the law is very largely a failure ,
! io condition of the civil aorvico appears
about as bad as it ever did. Civil service
oform , however , is still within roach.
Wiat is needed is to put every oflieo in
io entire service beyond the roach of
olitical influence by a radical and iron-
lad law. To play with the matter by
lalf-way measures , which can bo broken
s easily as pipe-stems , is a childish pro-
ooding which this country has evi-
ently occupied itself with long enough.
THE defeat of the whisky extension
> ill is immediately branded by tno Ran-
[ all wing of the democratic party as a
jroat victory , but it is hard to BOO how
t has helped the party at largo out of its
icrilous position. In fact it is hard to
oo how anything can now save the party
rom the wreck which the Morrison biil
s bringing upon it. That bill was do-
igncd merely for partisan effect , to os-
.onslbly . follow the popular demand for
a reduction of the tariff. The result ,
lowovor , has boon of no benefit and of
roat damage to the designers. In the
irst place the two factions into which
t has split the party can scarcely bo
icalod by any balm wlftch oven the
lope of spoils can apply before the next
iloction. In the next place even if the
Horrison democrats should provo strong
enough to pass the bill , which seems en
tirely unlikely , all of its intended effect
against the republicans will bo lost. As
matter of fact the democrats have
already sinned away their day of grace ,
[ f they could have made it appear by
passing early in the session a tariff re
vision bill which the sonata would have
defeated , that they were the champions ,
nnd the republicans the opponents of tax
reduction they might have gained a con
siderable advantage. But BO much time
has already been wasted , that the sonata ,
even if it desired to pass f ho bill , woulc
now bo unable to do so. A bil
proposing such important changes
ia no light matter. It woult
have to receive extensive consideration
before the senate could act on it , and as
there is now no time for such considers
tion , it trill bo no fault of the republicans
that the bill will not pass. In this way
the democrats have only succeeded ii
throwing a boomerang which has ilown
around the heads of their opponents , ant
finally lighted upon themselves. The two
factions of the democrats will continue to
squabble ever their lost cause , while the
republicans are getting ready to elect th <
next piesidont.
THE exact moaning of the action of the
state department in regard to Minister
Sargent eooms very hard to discover.
Secretary Frolinghuysen gave the impression
prossion to the senators that Mr. Sargent
himself wished to bo transferred to St.
Petersburg , becauio ho was weary of the
contest with Bismarck. It now tran
spires that Mr. Sargent has not only refused -
fused to go to St. Petersburg , but accord
ing to ouo dispatch is angered that the
utato department should have removed
him from Berlin. It certainly seems
fiomowhat strange that Mr. Sargent , who
had not heretofore announced any inten
tion of giving up his diplomatic career ,
should refuse to bo induced oy a promo
tion and Secretary Frolinghuyseu's words
of praise , to continue in service. At the
tame time it ia whispered in
Washington that Mr. Sargent really
wanted to stay ia Berlin and fight out
the buttle with Bismarck ; that the secre
tary of state gave a wrong impreesion as
to hit withes ; nml that it is the intention {
of the state department to Iruivo the
ministry to Germany vacant as a mild ro-
) uko to Bismarck for his notion in the
uaskor affair. The idea of "a mild ro-
) uko" to Bismarck Booms refreshing. If
-hero is any ono thing ti which Bismarck
ma shown himself moro indifferent than
to another , it acorns to bo "mildness" in
any form. It looks as though the prime
minister of Germany could sit through a
perfect deluge and Ohio river flood of
mildness with unmoved composure.
man RUNTS.
The BEE has received a communication
upon the subject of rents in Omaha , in
which the writer justly complains that
ronto are altogether too high. In this
wo agree with him. llonta should bo
governed by the law of supply and de
mand , but wo do not believe that they
are so governed in this city. It is true
that thcro is a healthy demand for houses ,
but the demand does not justify the high
rents tnat are asked in many cases. It
strikes us that the majority of landlords
tire ft little too avaricious. They are not
satisfied with ten per cent interest , clear
of taxes and insurance , but want twenty
or thirty per cent. These exorbitant demands
mands will certainly react upon the
landlords nnd upon the city.
Many people coming hero to locate will
find Omaha too expensive a place to live
iti if they have to pay Buch high rents.
The result will bo that Omaha will bo
moro or loss retarded In her growth.
What wo want and must have is at least
ono thousand now houses at moderate
rent for people of limited moans. Those
of our capitalists , who have the interest
of the city at heart , nnd are satisfied with
ten or twelve per cent interest on
their investment , ought to supply the demand -
mand for small houses at a reasonable
rent. Thousands of people nro coming
to Omaha this year , and they must bo
provided for. They must not bo allowed
bo fool that have come hero simply to
work for greedy landlords who take ad'
vantage of the situation , and who will
not supply the demand for dwellings by
building now ones simply because they
want to maintain the high rents upon the
houses that they now havo.
Mn. BUCKNER , of Missouri , is again at
the front. Mr. Bucknor , it may bo
remarked , likes to bo at the front. It is
a position which ho admires. The special
occasion which now bilngs Mr. Bucknor
; o the foreground is the tiriff dissen
sions. Ho thinks ho hasfounda panacea
or those which is safe and sure. "Lot
us have a commission to settle all thcso
matters , " says Mr. Bucknor , "and take
horn entirely out of politics. " This
would bo so easy and so delightful a way
of taking the qucition out of sight for a
imo and of saving the democratic party
'rom its disagreeable position between
-ho devil and the deep sea that it is
not at all strange that Mr. Bucknor
and his friends should favor It. There
a , however , ono objection to it. The
icoplo having already paid out something
ike $80,000 to find out what a useless ,
worthless and altogether ridiculous thing
a tariff commission is , are not likely to
submit to any further instruction of that
and. The lesson still sticks by them ,
and it is not likely that they will let
; heir representatives shift off any moro
work upon the convenient shoulders of
expensive commissions.
A. Demand for Jury Koforni.
To the Editor of THE BPK.
The oditoiial in THE BF.E of to-day ,
; ives many of the causes which have con
tributed to the * outbreak in Cincinnati.
1'ho effects of the riot will.be felt through
out the United States because it expresses
by violence what most of the citizens of
the country have thought and felt for n
number of years past. There is no doubt
that the administration of criminal jus
tice in this country , has been the cause of
much criticism on the part of all good
citizens , nevertheless , the root and basis
of all tins evil lies in the society itself.
The a o in which wo live ia so prone to
money making and is so essentially selfish -
fish that hardly any citizen out of a thou
sand understands and appreciates his ro-
latioua to society at largo , ho thinks ho
owes nothing to it , and that as
long as his personal aggrandizement is
satisfied the end of his ambition -
tion has boon reached. We
BOO to-day whenever juries are
selected and the question ia put to the
panel as to who have valid excuses for
not serving , that nine-tenths arise and
urge their personal interests and the'r
personal business as a good oxcusb for
shirking the duty. Some of the moat
reputable citi/.ons in the community will
resort to tricks which are not , to say the
loabt , honorable , in order to escape serv
ice on a jury. The consequence is that
the bettor men escape their duties in
that regard , and the jury loft is generally
composed of very fuw that can bo called
intelligent or honest , and the ba mce
that are ch6son from the public are too
often the hangers-on around the courts
who may bo influenced by the trickster
and the jury packer. If the respectable
element of a community were forced to
sit upon juries , and not allowed to escape
their responsibilities , ( ho art of the jury
packer would bo lost as Well as that of the
corrupt criminal lawyer , there would boa
atrong administration of justice and the
effect of a good jury being present would
inspire the court and the prosecuting at
torney with confidence that their efforts
would not bo futile ; but in most cases of
to-day it is up-hill work for a prosecuting
attorney who , after preparing a case care
fully , and after making a strong oflort to
secure the conviction that the culprit de
serves , finds that the jury which is sit
ting upon the case is in a moral sense
very little different from the prisoner at
the bar. Good juries would suspend the
workings of the corrupt criminal lawyer
and the jury packer ; their occupation
would bo gone , they would find that their
efforts are unavailing , and the consequence
quence would bo a surer and swifter
meting out pf justice to criminals. The
mob at Cincinnati should have begun -
gun , if they are reputable citizens , by
mobbing thonuelvei , for in them lies the
bmis of the whole responsibility. It is
an awful thing to contemplate , but nev
ertheless the foot , that the the American
people are so carried nway by _ greediness
lor wealth that they will sacrifio many of
the greatest responsibilities and the
greatest duties that they ewe to _ society
simply because it may interfere with their
selfish personal interests. The trouble
in Cincinnati will make the thinking men
in this country think ; it will make the
business men think ; and it will make the
moneyed men think , because it strikes at
the very marrow of social organism , and.
the security which nil of us are entitled ,
to have is being gradually undermined ,
because of this total disregard to the ob
ligations which wo ewe to society. Wo
see it to-day even in politics. It is im
possible at any of the primary elections ,
especially In cities , to have the reputable
citizen exercise his obligations at these
polls. Ho totally disregards them ; and
after everything has boon done and & bad
man has boon installed in office ho is ono
of the first to raise the hue and cty na
to the bad admiatration of justice
and the demoralization of the public
which his own negligence has caused , and
this selfishness is demonstrated in a very
strong light in this particular that sel
dom , if ever , complaint is hoard until
their personal interests are touched , thoa
they rise with indignation and heap the
complaint , deserving to themselves , upon
the heads of others. The Cincinnati
riots will find a responsive cord from the
judiciary and from the bettor clement
through out the United States ; and , &e
is said before , it expresses in an illegal
and violent manner which every good
man has thought and felt like expresses
moro than once. Wo must have n bettor
system of enforcing the [ juror to servo
his community and the society to which
ho belongs. Ho should not bo allowed tc
escape that responsibility for personal
reasons ; after his responsibility to his God
comes his responsibility to his country ;
and that of the family and his own
como only after the two former have
boon supplied. With that clcsa of men
on juries the evils of the kind in ques
tion will disappear and our jails will bo
freed from numberless criminals and
murderers. A. LAWYEU.
Jjlterary Notes.
The feature of the Continent monthly
edition is the announcement that Robert
T. Lincoln , secrotaryof war , is the "com
ing man" for the presidency. The signed
article is by William H. Busbey , of the
Chicago Inter-Ocean , but an rcompany-
itig article on "Presidential Possibilities , "
by the editor of tbo Continent , indicates
that the announcement ia a political fore
cast of Judge Tourgeo's. An evidence
of the sincerity of this announcement
appears in the handsomely engraved full-
page portrait pf Mr. Lincoln , which
forms the frontispiece to the number.
The Popular Science Monthly for
April is a strong number. The opening
page is by Herbert Spencer on the decay
of the sentiment of personal liberty and.
the rapid growth of the system of legis
lative intorfcrenco and coercion. Among
the many other admirable papers is "A.
Defence of Modern Thought , " by W. D.
Lo Suour , a reply to the bishop of On
tario on "Agnosticism" a statement of
the position of modern thinkers.
The April number of Harper's Monthly
is as rich a treat as any of the previous
numbers of this moro than excellent
poriodiw.1. The illustrations are so many
and meritorious that a complete list of
them would be required to adequately
describe them. Among the literary ar
ticles are a poem by H. H. , entitled "A
Toll-Tale of Spring ; " the second part of
Charles Roado's story , "A Picture ; "
'Tho Hohonzollerns , " by Hubert Tuttle -
tlo , and the first paper describing "From
the Frazorto the Columbia , " by Ernest
Ingorsoll.
The most interesting feature in the
Century for April is George Alfred Town-
acnd's account of "How 'Wilkes Booth
Crossed the Potomac. " This indefatiga
ble worker has unearthed some informa
tion which the government detectives
have vainly sought for for the past
twenty years. The ether articles in the
number are as richly illustrated and as
brilliantly written as usual , and no higher
praise can bo bestowed. E. Y. Smally
contributes an article upon 'Tho White
House , " and Edward S. Wilde describes
the Now York city hall.
The first of a unique aeries of humorous
stories by "Ivory Black" will appear in
the May Century. These stones are
about artists , and the names of the char
acters are adopted from the pigments
with which painter * are familiar. The
name of the first story in the series ia
"Rose Maddor.t'
St. Nicholas for April , with its varied
table of contents , reminds us , like the
month itself , both of the winter that is
past , and of the summer that is to como.
An account of the first ice palace , that
built by the Empress Anna Ivanovna of
Russia , with a picture by Blum , is offset
by Mary A. Lathbury's pleasant summer
sketch , called "Fairy Lodge , " which the
author has charmingly illustrated. The
important "Historic Boys" aeries is con
tinued with the interesting story of the
boyhood of Homy V. of England , in
which the author , E. S. Brooks , takes
occasion to differ with the Shaksporoan
estimate of the Boy General's character ,
Louisa M. Alcott's third "Spinning-
wheel Story" tells of Iho devotion and
Spartan heroism of a young Indian boy ,
who rescues from captivity the
children of his benefactor. A bright ,
breezy , wholesome-toned sea atoiy is the
Rev. Charles 11. Talbot's "How Briaht
Benson Got His Appointment to the Na
val Academy" ; while John R. Coiyell
relates in "Tsang Tsan and the Man-
eater" the amazing advonhiro that really
happened to a young China boy. Of the
corials , "Girl Noblesse , " Mrs. Adeline D.
T. Whitney's clover study of boy and
girl character , and "Winter Fun , " W. O.
Stoddard's entertaining account of boy
and girl sport and frolic , are concluded ;
and Mayno Reid's "Land of Fire" ia
continued in an installment of absorbing
interest. There are poems by Ceha
Thaxtor , Elizabeth C. Kinney , Margaret
Johnson , and others , and pictures by
Birch , Blum , Ellen Oakford , M. J ,
Burns , Jessie McDermott , Rose Mueller ,
Henry Saudhaui , F. Bellew , jr. , and
others ; among whom must be mentioned
the prize-winners in The St. Nicholas art
contest , in which over nine hundred
drawings were entered by young
draughtsmen and women. A full and
interesting report and the successful il
lustrations appear in the April St. Nich
olas.
Whether the United States are to re
gain their former pro-eminent rank as a
commercial and naval power on the seas ,
is a question that no American can contemplate -
template with indifference. The subject
is discussed with marked ability in the
North American Review for April , by the
Hon. Nelson Dingley , M. 0. , who op
poses the project of admitting foreign
built shtpa to American register , and by
Cant. John Codman , who is well known
as a zealous advocate of that measure.
Judge J. A. Jameson , in the same number -
ber of The Boyiow. discusses the question - '
tion , "Shall Our Civilization bo Pre- <
served"pointingouttho means that are at ] '
liandforwithstandingthevariousagenciea , jj
physical , moral and intellectual , which 1
threaten to overturn our existing civil and
tocial institutions. The Rev. Dr. Philip
5ch ff gives a sketch of the "Develop
ment of Religious Freedom. " Dr. Felix
[ i , Oswald writes of "Changes in thoCli-
mate of North America , " with special
reference to the increasing frequency of
disastrous floods. Prof. 0. A. Eggort offers -
fors "A Plea for Modern Languages" in
the higher education ; and Julian Haw-
ihorno diacourscsof "Literature for Chil
dren. " Finally , tho'fQ is a discussion of
"Recent Criticisms of the Bible , " by the
Rov. Dr. R. Hober Newton and the Rev.
A. G. Mortimer.
Important Supreme Court Decision.
WASHINGTON , March 31. In the de
cision rendered by the supreme court in
the case of the Now England Mutual
Life Insurrnco company , plaimUff , in er
ror , against Stephen E. Wood worth , ad
ministrator , in error , from the circuit
court of the United States for the south
ern district of Illinois , the court holds :
First , that a policy pf lifo insurance is
sued by a company incorporated in ono
state , payable to the assured , his execu
tors , or administrators , or assigns , for
the purpose of founding administration
upon his estate in another state in which
the corporation at and since the time has
done business , and as required by the
statutes of that state , has an agent on
whom a process against it may bo served.
Second , that under section 18 , chapter 3 ,
Revised Statutes of Illinois of 1874 , a
husband is entitled to administer on the
cstato of his wife , if she loft property in
Illinois. Letters of administration which
state that the intestate had , at the time
of death , personal property in the state ,
are sufficient evidence of authority to ad
minister. The judgment of the circuit
court was affirmed.

They nrc the most important sec
retory organs. Into nnd through
the Kidneys flow tbe waste fluids of
the body , containing poisonous mat
ter takcu out of the system. If the
Kidneys do not act properly this
matter is returned , the whole sys
