IN liis recent speech on the army bill ,
Senator Logan said that thirteen dollars
n month is not enough pay for any man
in the service of his country. That's
what the privates think.
AND now it is reported that a majoiity

tive sessions. Mr. Edmunds has spread

Tin : frauds of past years in Chicago
elections have at last accomplished a do-
hired result in the passage of an elec
tion law , which , as was demonstrated
last Tuesday , prevents fraudulent voting
and ballot-box shilling.
A WKT April is a farmers' friend. Re
ports from all the agricultural centers of
the west agree that the opening pros
pects for a prosperous farming season
are excellent. Agricultural prosperity is
the backbone of the country's ' progress.
TnniiB should be no objection to a rea
sonable increase of the army proportion
ate to the increase of population. But a
proposition to that effect should bo incor
porated in a separata bill , and not deco
rated with a hundred riders on other sub
jects. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Tun last meeting of the old council
gave the defeated candidates a final
chance for pyrotechnic oratory. The
profanity and nbuso which has disgraced
the meetings of the council during the
past year will bo pleasantly noticeable
for its absence in the new body.
LONDON papers predict Unit Mr. Glad
stone's homo rule bill will not be per
mitted to go to a second reading. As it
will certainly be thrown out in the house
of lords should it roach the upper cha in-
bor an appeal to the country must result ,
whether it passes the commons or is de
feated in the lower house.
THE St. Joe people have come to the
right city to get a correct idea of public
improvements. They will see here a
good system of waterworks , sewerage
and pavements , and many public build
ings worthy of note. St. Joe is a solid ,
substantial city , of steady growth , and of
great wealth , and it can nilbrd to indulge
ino\tonsivo , public improvements. After
seeing what public improvements have
done for Omaha , our St. Joe visitors will
no doubt return homo full of enthusiasm
nnd with a determination to infuse now
life into their city by means of public
improvements.
Tin : governor of Pennsylvania lias des
ignated the 15th of April as Arbor Day
in that state. Ono would hardly tldnk
thut tree planting would favor lind in such
n state as Pennsylvania , but the great for
est destruction that has been going on
for yours has suggested the ncgessity of
replenishing the growth of trees. It is
assorted that the destruction of the Penn
sylvania forests lias resulted in the loss of
millions of dollars' worth of properly by
Hood and drought. It is very important ,
says the Philadelphia Times , that the
value of a thick growtti of trees as a stor-
ngo reservoir of moisture should not bo
forgotten , because of the notion that
planting trees for ornamental purposes
and for shade around the homo is a lit
nnd complete observance of Arbor Day.
The same paper calls upon every farmer
ill Pennsylvania to start a small forest on
such part of his farm as lie can devote to
this purpose , as lie will lind it a good in
vestment in the long run.
TIIKRB is a complaint made , whether
justly or unjustly wo cannot toll , that
the board of public works lias wilfully
discriminated against bidders for curbing
and awarded the contract to the Colora
do sandstone bidder tit a higher price
than the Uoron btouo was on'ered , even
though the Heron stone was rated nt 75
per cent as against 83 per cent for Colorado
rado and 100 for granite. In other words ,
the board made a rating for the dillcrcnt
qualities of stone , grading Colorado near
the top and the Dcrea stone 10 per cent
lower. On that grading the bid
for liorea stone is still claimed to
have been the lowest , Inasmuch as the
property owners are to pay for all the
curbing , they are entitled to the benefit
Of the lowest bid. That is doubtless the
luteutlou of the charter. If the board of
public works regards 15eroa stone as en
tirely unlit for paving purposes it bhould
so declare and bar it out. In other cities
Wborp that material has boon tried it has
-given satisfaction. It may not be so ilur-
nblo for curbing as thn Colorado stone ,
but that is only conjoctuio , Having
graded the Ilcroa stone way below Colorado
rado , it should have its equal chance iu
( ho bid at that gradiu _ .
Carping About ttic SohoolR.
There has been a great deal of clap
trap during the late city campaign in
several of our dailies about basement
fechools nnd their terrible effect upon the
health of fcliool children. The main
spring of nil this was personal and polit
ical. It was an oflbr to make a false
issue in the campaign , to distract niton
tlon nnd create prejudice ngainst mem
bers of the council nnd the school board.
The howl about the dungeon basements
was raised for the purpose of defeating
certain candidates who had favored the
joint construction nnd occupancy of
the new city hall by the school
board and the city officials. Kvcry intel
ligent ci'.iycns knows , of course , that the
question of this joint construction was
submitted to the people in November ,
and ratified by them bj * nn overwhelm'
ing majority. The board lias simply
carried out the wishes of the people.
Even if the members of the board
weio disposed to divert this city
city hall fund for school buildings , they
could not legally do so. As nn investment
it is wise and judicious. The board is
now paying rent on a building that is not
fire proof , and the accommodations are
not one-fourth of what they will bo in the
new city hall. So much on this point.
The so-called dungeon basements are no
more unhealthy than the dining-rooms of
some of the most aristocratic people in
this city. They nro neither damp nor
dark. They are really English base
ments , from three to live feet under
ground , and in every respect as healthy
as the Western Union ollico , the Kquit-
able Trust company's ofllco , and scores
of oflico rooms in the city. The din nnd
noise about this "basement outrage"
ought to have subsided with the election.
Hut now comes the Itcpullicnn with n
charge all along the line about school
board extravagance. This charge
is in many respects as
frivolous as the basement buncombe.
Attention is called to the fact that Super
intendent James gets $0,000 , a year , while
the governor of Nebraska draws only
$2,500. A sunieient answer to this is that
jacks-of-all'trndos and straw men such as
Nebraska governors have been made of
are very dear at $3,500. Outside of legis
lative sessions their time is not occupied
by ofllcial duties six hours a week on the
average , and most of them would have
gladly taken the job for their board and
lodging if they couldn't have gotten it on
any other terms. Wo are told that
tliero are 141 teachers in the citv. Any
man competent to supervise them and
develop our system of education is worth
$300 a month it ho is worth anything.
Mr. James' ' salary is not out of proportion
tion to salaries paid hero or elsewhere to
professional men of high abilities. As to
high salaiied teachers wo have only to
say that the citizens of Omaha are wil
ling to pay well for the bobt. If they are
not getting the worth of their money it is
only because the board of education has
persisted in employing teachers of in
ferior capacity for the reason that they
are backed by people of influence or are
related to some of the powers that bo.
If the Republican will assail this system
of favoritism wo will heartily join with
it to break it up. In the past that paper
has shown no such disposition. Wo are
content to pay the very highest salaries ,
but we are not content with anything less
than the very best of teachers that can
bo had for the money.
As a whole , our public schools will
compare favorably with any in the coun
try , and we only hope that with the high
salaries paid we shall raise their stand
ard still further.
THE next meeting ot the board of trade ,
which takes place on Monday , should be
attended , not only by every member of
the board , but by citizens who are inter
ested in the development of our manu
facturing industries. Everybody admits
that the future of this city depends upon
our ability to make it a manufacturing
center. The c ity of Denver has within
the last year increased the product of
her manufactures by twenty millions ,
and that is the back bone of Denver to
day. While in some respects Denver has
advantages over Omaha in cheap
fuel and minerals , Omaha en
joys the advantages of cheaper food
and labor. Wo have besides the products
of a largo agricultural region to con
dense. Wo are now packing cattle and
hogs , and wo have superior facilities for
meat canning , and the conversion of the
hides , tallow , etc. , into merchantable ar
ticles , which the country west of the Mis
souri is now importing from the ea&t.
Fruit and vegetable canning has been
made a success at Ptattsmouth , Beatrice ,
and elsewhere throughout the state , and
tliero is no reason why Omaha cannot do
as well or bettor. Flour mills , starch fac
tories , and oat meal mills can be operated
witli prolit. The market is hero for their
products and our railway facilities are
superior to those of any city north of
Kansas City. What wo want now is co
operation on the part of property owners
and capitalists. Liberal donations of
land and loans at low rates will invite
manufacturers to locate hero. It is vital
now that the business men should coma
together and devise the ways and means
for encouraging homo industry and
small manufactures.

Lake in order to stimulate the movement.

The final division upon Mr. Gladstone's
homo rule bill hus been postponed until
Monday nnd the debate is in progress
over the motion of leave to introduce the
measure to the attention of parliament.
Mr. Gladstone's speech ia variously com
mented upon by the Englibh journals.
Tory London is practically unanimous in
opposition to the principles which it in
volves. The provinces , generally liberal
in their tendency , approve the piinciplo
of home rule , but criticise the details ol
the measure. It is significant that the
leading Seoth papers in their comments
draw attention to Scotland's desire foi
local government , The nationalists are
exultant over the radical reforms pro
posed while they criticise various minor
propositions , particularly the lineal fea
tures. There is little hope of the bill being -
ing passed to a second reading , although
it is conceded Unit Mr. Gladstone's con
vincing spcccli has strengthened the
cause of home rule in the liberal ranks ,
The opening of the week will decide the
fate of the measure. Meantime the- pre
mier is calmly awaiting the result , con
scious that he has fulfilled his pledges ,
nnd confident that the * final verdict of
Great Britain will sustain his measure as
the only just nnd equitable plan that can
bo devised for the future government and
pacification of Ireland.
%
It would bo unfortunate if the Irish
question should bo overshadowed by
European complications , and yet the
news trom the cast would almost indi
cate that the patchcd-up truce between
the powers is soon to bo broken , and that
nothing but war is likely to settle the cf
forts toward n peace between Bulgaria
and Scrvia. Uussin evidently sees a
menace to her supremacy In the inde
pendent attitude assumed by Prince
iVlcxander. United Bulgaria looms up
now as a formidable obstacle to a Musco
vite advance southward , and the
announcement that the Austrian ambas
sador lias left St. Petersburg is not calcu
lated to allay the general uneasiness. A
Greek invasion of Thosaly would bo of
considerable advantage to Kus > sin , and
many who linvo closely watched her
policy believe thaC behind all the bravado
and bluster of the government at Athens
there is the assurance that material aid
will bo had from the czar. Hut Berlin
has not yet been heard from , and until
Bismarck speaks it is dllllciilt to predict
whether or not Russia will carry out her
throat and march her troops across the
Danube.

The vote by which the German rciehs-
tng agreed to extend the anti-boelalist
bill for two years stood 17a to MO. Had
fourteen members of the majority prefer
red to see the emperor "shed his blood"
to having nn unjust law re-cnactod , the
bill would have failed. Its passage will
do socialism little harm , for time has
proved that its provisions are powerless
even to chock the political activity of the
class ngainst which it is aimed. Had the
bill been put to its passage without
debate , there is little doubt that it would
have failed , but the bitter remarks of
some of the socialistic leaders , and the
appeals in the name of the aged emperor ,
turned the scale in its favor.
_
Notwithstanding the disclaimer ! of
King George that Greece is not seeding
war , the warlike preparations of Greece
have , it is reported , gone so far that the
army has crossed the frontier into Tur
key in advance of the chambers declar
ing hostilities. The little power would
never have taken this step if site had not
been sure of the support of Russia ; and
if the powers do not set to work to
avert an outbreak a few weeks may see
the Eastern question revived in a threat
ening form. It is emphatically stated
that Greece does not desire conquest , but
only "a rectification of the frontier , "
which , as it merely involves the taking
away from Turkey a of considerable
amount of territory , is at once
seen to be a very simple affair. It
may be added in that connec
tion that this rectification is nil that Rus
sia wants in Afghanistan , while Austria
asks for nothing more than this in the
valley of the Danube , and England w.Mits
something similar in Egypt and wherever
a change appears to bo desirable. As the
rectifications are all made at the expense
of Turkey and other slates unable to pro
tect themselves , it will bo seen that the
arrangement has thus far been one-sided ,
and if protests would do any good , the
governments of those countries would be
justified in entering most strenuous ob
jections to further efforts in this direc
tion.

The affairs of Iho Canadian Northwest
are not likely to sink into obscurity ,
oven with the vote of confidence in the
Macdonnld policy passed at Ottawa.
There is at present a very bitter feeling
nt Winnipeg occasioned by an order of
the Dominion government disallowing
the two railroad acts passed by the
Manitoba legislature in 188-t. The people
ple of that outlying province had been
promised that after the actual opening
of the Canadian Pacific it would not bo
the policy of Iho Dominion government
to discourage rival railroaU schemes in the
northwest. And it was quite possible that
this promise was sincerely made , but the
fact is that the natural drift of through
passenger trade is increasing toward the
United States , and it will not do to en
courage these escapes by allowing the
provinces to build connecting roads , It
is very evident that the railroad syndi
cate has not lost its grip at Ottawa , but
the half-breed experience of last year
ought to bo a warning lo the government
not to ignore the rights of even a poor
and humble class.

The efforts of the queen and her family
to please London by a round of public
appearances and festivities will hardly
offset the disgust which the continued idle
dissipation of the prince of Wales must
provoke in the minds of sensible Britons ,
Ho is stout and far from young , and ho
must bo weary of the fashionable frivoli
ties in which his life is wasted , but the
months and years still go by , and the heir
to the throne does nothing to redeem his
old reputation of being a dissolute bpend-
thrift.

The English government proposes to
try experiments in tobacco cultivation in
England , \\itli the hope of raising as
good , if not a bettor , article than Unit
grown in this country. According to the
opinion of experts , Uiero is small chance
of success , for no matter how carefully
the government experiments may bo
made , the proper conditions of climate
are lacking in England and , at the best ,
only an ordinary quality can bo grown.
Virginia and Kentucky need have little
fear of competition from the English
tobacco.
