OALCUI.ATIONS on the wheat crop stll
continue , the variations having a wide
jrango. The latest estimate , by a Milwaukee
waukoo grain atatlstician , places the tota'
yield at 331,000,000 buahola. According
to hta figuring the spring wheat ylelc
will bo 121,000,000 bushole. Like al
the other estimates , there ia probably i
great deal of gaesa work in ibis statement
"OFFENSIVE partisanship" was th
charge upon which the internal rovenui
collector at Madison , Wisconsin , was re
moved from office. Ho commanded thi
o&valry that captured Jeff Davis In hoop
nkirt and petticoat. Wo are surprloec
that this offenalvo ratcal was not turnec

THE Kansas Oily ZVmessays the people

Ing ita suburbs , proposes to further InHale
Halo Itself by ortonding Its city limits si
aa lo take in the whole state of Missouri
except St. Louis. After this is done i
will endeavor to swallow up the ctato o
Kansas.
WHY should buildora bo permitted ti
blockade the entire width of the aid wall
on badness streets , oven after the side
walk has been exc&vatod ! la there on ;
ozcnco for builders keeping the street ob
ttractod for a whole season ? As a rul
they have & habit of fencing In the side
walk nnd fencing out the public fo
months until their building is completed
Our walks arc twenty feet wide and si :
or eight feat might bo enclosed withon
serious Inconvenience , but the onclotun
of the whole sidewalk is not only a nuls
anca to pedestrians but damaging to thi
business houses In the whole block where
such obstructions exist.
tquara denial , which Mr. KImbali
makes through his editorial mouthpiece
la the Omaha fit-publican , may bo taken
by the publla for what It Is worth , The
Tact that Mr. Klmball years ago imported
BU editor for that paper and had him put
on the Union Pacific pay-roll would in
dicate within Itself that ho Is In the habit
of dabbling In railroad journalism. The
article to which wo referred ns being
written or Inspired by him has nil the
oar-marks [ of Mr. Kimball'a style of
composition. In f ot , acme of the sen.
tonces are almost a reproduction of a
part o ! the composition which ho road to
the inter'stato commerce committee. The
boy who figures aa the editor of the
Republican has a peculiar style of his
own , which any ordinary person can
easily detect. The line Italian hand of
Mr. Klmball may not have hold the pen *

HOUNDED BY HOODLUMS.
The hoodlum press of Nebraska , whic
upon every occasion attempts to bollttl
and traduce Senator Van Wjck , hoi a
hat found nn opportunity for dlsplayln ;
its amall-Bonlcd spite. The senator bn
accepted an Invitation to deliver a Fourt !
of July oration at Norfolk. This fac
gave mortal cfTanBo to that notorlou
mountebank , Dr. Pater Sohwcnk , and i
few disreputable strikers and land shark )
that have infested the Elkhorn valley
They were seconded by the hoodlno
press , which approvingly applauded th
contemptible conduct of the wretched am
cowardly nobodies who hare undertake !
to insult Senator Van Wyck and proven
him from spanking nt Norfolk. Ono o
those spltofnl hoodlums , who publishes
paper nt Paplllion , goes out of his wa ;
to indulge in the following fling ;
Norfolk , ono of the liveliest and prottioe
towns in this stnto , intended to celebrate th
Fourth of July in grand stylo. Fate , lion
over , nppeara to bo nanat ! the proaperou
and enterprising town , The committee o
arrangements thoughtlessly invited Senate
Van Wyck to deliver the oration. Of coura
the distinguished orator accepted the invltr
tion. The citizens objected , but the commit
tea insisted that the programamo should b
carried out , The people now declare the ]
will have nothing to do with the affair i
Van Wyck Is permitted to apeak , At proa
ent it looks aa thougli the senator and th
committed will celebrate by themselves ,
THE "people" in this instance happei
to bo a gang of political bushwhacker
who have boon dislodged from the publi
crib by the vigilant and vigorous effort
of Senator Yan Wyck against land-grab'
bars and land-offico sharks. For thi
cake of the fair reputation of Norfolk , I
not as n matter of prudence , ( hey shouli
have rcsorvod'thelr venom and vongoanc
for the proper time when Van Wycl
comes before the people as a candldat
Tor ro-oloction. The Fourth of Jul ;
should not bo made the occasion of dls
playing political rancor and an oxhlbi
tlon of malicQ and moannosa. The
Elkhorn valley his repeatedly
been disgraced by miscreants who In thi
3arly days secured a foot-hold in Nobras
kn by ways that are dark and tricks thai
irj vain. The time has gene past , how'
Dvor , when the dog-ln-the-mangpr class
: an play dictator and rnlo communltlei
3von when the hoodlum press is bohinc
their back.
Senator Van Wyck is neb cm obscure
man , or a man whoio conduct has do
prlvod him of popular confidence. He
ias made a national reputation In the
senate , and any city of the conntrj
trould regard him aa worthy of ro-
ipectful attention. By Inviting
lim to deliver a Fourth of July oration ,
; he citizens of Norfolk have conferred nc
loner or favor upon him. On the con-
; rary they ought to fool proud that the
mnator has accepted their Invitation ,
0.1s presence will insure for them a large
ittendance and ' make the occasion or
wont of more than ordinary interest. II
Dr. Schwonk and other hoodlums rmc
roustabouts are displeased they should b ;
politely invited to celebrate the Fonrtt
) f July in some other town.
OUR PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
The pabilc schools are now closed foi
the season and some plain talk concern.
Ing the defects of our system may be
profitable before the course of Instruction
is arranged and the teachers are chosen
lot the coming year. While the work.in
Dnr public schools will compare favorably
with that In other citiea It ia by no meant
peifect. Nobody can attend ono of the
high school commencements wlthoul
reaching tne conclusion that onr system
of education Is superficial and larj-olj
Impractical. The compositions , essays ,
and orations are stilted and lack fresh
ness , originality and vigor of expression.
The awkward gestures and sing-song
declamation afford ample proof that bet
tor talent Is needed among our teachen
of rhetoric. To us the whole system ol
high school exhibitions appears llko the
display of cheap jewelry In a show-win
dow. There Is nothing solid about it ,
and it only impresses npon ns the faci
that onr educators do not comprehend
the mission of the public schools. The
chief aim and object of our public school
system should bo elementary instruction
In all the branches of knowledge which
In our enlightened ago will enable met
and women to grapple with the problem !
of life , and pursue their vocations In
telligently and profitably.
Instead of trying to make great orator-
ont of our boys and actresses and leotur.
ors ont of onr glrla the teachers should
endeavor to make them proficient read
ers and writers of the English language.
It Is too mortifying to hoar the wretched
pronounclatlon nndmonotonous style of
reading of boys and girls whoso tlmo ia
wasted upon attempts at declamation.
Original thoughtahonldbodevelqped by
: ompoaitlons upon. ractloal subjects and

llsqnlaitlons , which in the main are usually
itolen almost bodily from some author ,
[ n other words the system of permitting
routhful minds to discnsa subjects which
lave racked the mature minds of philoso.
ihors ia too much Ilka trying to build a
IOUBO by beginning at the roof instead of
ho basement.
There Is also a lamentable lack of
horonghnesa In the branches of useful
nd Indispenslblo knowledge , such as
latory , especially the history of onr
auntry and onr own times , and a waste
f time upon the studios that can bo of
o practical use , excepting In very rare
istancea.
Wo want onr'yonng mon and women to
now a great deal more about steam ,
eotrlcity , miguetlam , plants and mln-
als , and we could tafely dispense with
namental studies.
Inasmuch as the efilclency of our school
atom depends upon the ability of the
achers the board of education in the
lining year should weed out all Inconi-
petunia and drones , and ralso the stand
ard of education by employing none bt
first class teachers , Bight hei

altogether too much favoritism In ot
public schools. The board should hoi
the superintendent responsible for h
totchors , but ho cannot bo mad
accountable as locg as inefficient toachoi
are forced npon the school to please th
or that member of the board. Wo ha\
frequently been told that teachers hav
been employed and kept In onr publ
schools who have failed to secure tt
necessary certificate from the examiner
and In some cases toacheri holding lo
grade certificates have boon employe
higher grades to the dotrlmei
of the schools , This la all wronj
There should bo no preference showi
for any teacher except npon morlt. N
teachers should bo employed merely bi
cause tholr backers are influential or bi
cause they are related to prominent clt
zons. All things being equal , our on
residents should bo given the proforoni

AIL eorta of devices era resorted to bj
land aockers to get as much as possible
under the various land laws. Perhaps
the most Ingenious plan Is that which It
reported from Kansas. A parson whe

to secure another ono adjoining his , and
on this he put a building and hid It oc
cupied by his wife , at the same time
announcing that ho had separated frorr
her and had secured a divorce. A mar
rled woman cannot prove up a claim , but
a divorced or single woman can. This
plan isvory suggestive , and will probablj
bo followed by other couples , who cm
Bccuro divorces for the tlmo being and
after the claims have boon proper ! j

A You n K Genius Who Sliaiva Remarkable
markablo Ability in Wood
Owing to the length of the article on th
Central school which tbo BEK published th ;
week , only a short mention was made of
youthful scholar who will make his mark ii
the world , Thia scholar is Charley Wymar
the twelve-year-old Swede who has exhibite
a decided genius as n jncK-knifo eculpto :
and whose excellent work deserves espoci :
mention. Charley has bean in this countr
only a short time , ho having been born an
and reared on a small island in the Baltic sei
In his short residence here ho baaprovedhiir
self a , bright end quick scholar , in addition t
acquiring the language. His first work i
wood carving was a number of design
which had been given by the teacher for slat
drawing. These were very nicely executed
and were followed by the inakin ;
in wood of a full set of miniatur
carpenter's tools and a chest to hold them
He also constructed wheelbarrows , boats , otc.
in perfect form , Then his attention wa
called by his teacher to tha more dellcati
woik of carving leaves , flowers and fruits
Ilia etforti in this direction , with only a pint
board and a knife , were true to nature
From a small piece of black walnut bo carvoc
a man's head , nnd those who are ncquainto (
with the individual represented eay _ it is at
excellent likeness. The finest specimen of hii
work seen is a carving from a picture of a boj
with his arms clasp lovingly around the necli
] f a dog. It ia almost perfectly executed , the
Features nnd expression being marvelous ! ;
dear , showing that the artist baa an apprecia
tion of tha emotions represented by the pic
ture as w U as the outlines. A number of
nechanical devices have also been carved
'rom wood by young Wyman , evincing con-
ilderable genlua in tbat direction. Chtrllc
ays bo is going i to be n sculptor , nnd he
bould be encouraged in his de&ito , for ho
certainly possesses marked ability ,

After n week's inoporotion , the instrument
which delineates so cleverly the matrimonial
events of the future is once more in running'
order.
Tlio Index hands ore moving. They stop.
Glancing at the Illuminated dial of the hyme-
iiometer , it is noted that two names are llnkod
in sweet conjunction. Ono of them Is that of
n young lady who is a prominent member of
the U. P. headquarters bloomer nine ; the
eccond is that of one of the chief bill clerks in
the freight house- . Just to what stage this
case has arrived at , is uncertain. That it is
genuine there can be no doubt.
Another prediction is made by
the instrument. This time its
hands point to two _ now names which are il
lumined on the dial. The one is of a young
clerk employed in a great dry goods store oa
Parnam street , between Thirteenth and Four
teenth , the other that of n young lady resi
dent on Douglas street. The iui-truir out does
not indicate the oiacc future date cf the hap
py climax , but preparations are said to be
already in progress for the compounding of
the wedding cake.
Ones more , and for the last time the idex
hands revolve. Looking closely at the phos-
phpreecent di l , ono notices that they are
pointing at the names of the two young ;
people , ono the clerk of ono of the local
tribunals , not far away from Sixteenth and
Fnnmm , the other that of a young lady con
nected with a dressmaking- establishment
ttnar Sixteenth and Douglas. The happy
jronm-to-bo is already preparing for the
trand event which will take place some tlmo
jeforo the close of this century.
