It Is an enterprise priso which had'bccomo n necessity foi several reasons. First nnd foremost wai the fact that as the leading metropolitan daily of this section , the HER could nc longer withstand the pressure from cvcri quarter for a seven day paper. This do maud was inndo almost Imperative slnc < Sunday trains have become poncral ot all through lines in lawn nnd Nebraska Another reason for this ncv departure was the fact that the cable letters , which are the crea features of the Now York < Si ic/rtt/ Herald were wired to the DKK Saturday night but could not bo published by us untl Monday morning. Tlio Sunday edition ; of the Chicago Tribune and St. Loul : Glabc-Democrat , containing the Ifcrah cable letters , reach Omaha Monday morn ing , mid thus really donrlvcd us of tin full benefit of our costly enterprise. Tin SUNDAY Ir.i ! : will glvo our patron ; twenty-four hours the start of Chlcagc and St. Louis on foreign news. What was true of the cable letters wa : also true of other Important and interest ing news , which will now reach our sub scrlljcrs in and out of the nlty ono da oooncr tlmn it could through Monday' ; edition. Last , but not least , is the ndvantagn t < bo derived by our advertising patron ; from an edition that starts out with fnlh 18,000 circulation , and promises to rcacl 15,000 within less than ninety days. Our decision to publish a Sunday cdl lion wa ? readied immediately after bsgin ning thu Now York Herald special cabli service. The changes nnd projectei improvements of other Omaha uowspa pcrsdld not inllnenco our course an ] more than they did our purchase of : wcb-perfcctlng press ruoro than twolvi months ago. This fast press was no bought for show or to boom the clrcula lion. Wo had thu circulation , and wi needed the press. For the same rcasoi the UEK publishing company cntorei into a contract on the ICth of March 1880 , for a second perfecting press , whicl is now being built , and is to bo shipput from New York under that contract bi the last of this month. With two per feeling presses , capable of turning ou 80,000 eight-page papers or 60,000 four page papers every hour , the BEE will bi equipped as completely as any daily wes of Chicago , not excepting the great dail lea of San Francisco. From the Hanks. The army board for the examination o ; candidates for promotion from the ranki of thu army will meet at Fortress Monroi to-morrow. Nine nop-commissionei olllccrs who have successfully passed the preliminary examinations for advance ment to second lieutenants will appeal before it. Thofinal board will either rat ify or rcverso the findings of the llrsi boards. AH candidates who pass will vo ceivc certificates for commissions as seer as vacancies occur for them. Many [ army olttoora secretly protest against selections from the ranks as tend ing to lower the tone of the service , and insist that West Point should bt thp only avenue leading to a com mission. It is remarked that u. uumbci who hold this view once wore the stnpc ! of non-commissioned ollicers nud won the bars of n lieutenant by olHolcnt aer vice in the ranks. The public who support the army will not ngrco with tlio gantlomon. Educated boldiers are ot course a. necessity , but cd ucattnl soldiers can bo secured with tlu added experience of military service II proper inducements nro ollured faithful and intelligent privates to rise to a com mission. Such an incentive to studious ambition will do much to elevate the rank and flicIt will also help to disa buse the public of the iitoa whioh foolish young ollicers and cranky marl mots have fostered , that the United State ; army is an aristocracy within n republic ana that brass button ! and epaulettes nccos arily carry will thorn some peculiar social virtue whicl raises their possessors over thu ticads o the civilian world. The closer our army is brought intc contact nud sympathy with the dom ocraey of which it is the servant anc whose interests it is sworn to defend , the more ofllulcnt ! l is likely to prove wher called into action by some social or inter national crisis in wnlch the heart of the peoples is vitally interested. Then should bo no curtailment of the privilege of rising from the ranks. An intelligent and manly first sergeant with a good common school education is a moro valu able component of army organization than half a dozen young lieutenants frcsl from Flirtation Walk. Physical JScliioatlou For Girls. Tliuro has recently been issued uy the Association of Collcgiato Alumnae , com posed of women representing nine col leges , it circular setting forth tlio views o tliu association , founded of conr u upoi careful fatudy and extended experience respecting the causes of the low standarc of health among women In and after college lego llfo , and thu remedial conditions tha are demanded. The common lack o physical training and the disregard of tin laws of health among girls nre rcspoiisi bio for the low standard of vitality ane energy winch characterize so many o them in after lite , and the duty of cor reeling these deficiencies or omission devolves upon parents , for , as the clrcu lar says ; "At sixteen it is often too lati to undo all the mistakes made during tin most important years of a girl's life,1 The evils among school girls whlcl should command the careful attention o parents are enumerated as follows : So ciril dissipation nnd excitement , which i neither amusement nor recreation ; ho bltual loss of sufllcient and health , sleep ; irregularity and hast In taking food , tha use o confectionery in the evening , and th omission of breakfast ; light , heavy am insufllciout clothing , which increases th tendency to consumption and spinal die oases ; the lack of sufllciont outdoor exci else ; excessive overwork in study , aui ignorance of thu simplest Jaws of phyfil elegy and hygiene. There can bo n doubt that as to ninety-seven girls ii every hundred living iu cities and be longing to tha class from which collcg students are drawn , every ono of thea sorcu faults , or , as the circular more cor rootly calls thorn , evils , are applicable and with many , doubtless , some of then hftvo from long habit and Indulgence become come so fixed as tq be Irremovable , Ii 10 far as the existence of any of those ob etaolos to the development of the htghcti forn.of physical womanhood is due tc the demands of society and the require mcnls of fashion , it may as well bi owned that there Is little ground of liopi that they will over bo removed. When ever womankind shall refuse to longoi bow to these demands then will the mil Icniuin bo at hand. Itut some of tin onnmuratcd evils which besot our pirl ; may bo remedied without making wa upon fashion , or disregarding social diela and every father and mother of dnugh tcrs should esteem it a most csscntl.i part of dailv duty quite as important indeed , as making provision for the dail' food lo see that the qirls arc not per milled to fall under the evils spcc'illm which nro so nasily avoided. Ailequali Jiours of sleep , proper exerciso.regulnrit1 and right methods In dating , are matter within the undisputed scope of parenta surveillance , and ought lo be made m imperative part of llieovcry-daydonicstii task of the parent , not under 11113circum stances to bo omitted. If observance o a correct system with respect to thosi conditions to a sound and healthy bed : Is begun at an early ago and strictly ad hcrod to , attention to them will become ) ; habit tlmt not oven the dissipations o society or the demands of lashiou will bi uble to wholly uproot. Addressing the women studying in col leges , the Association Alumna ; counsc them to bear in mind the fact that thi best Intellectual results cannot bo ob taincd without perfect physical health that they shall maintain a constan watch ever their habits as regards sleep food , dress , exercise , etc. , nnd that the : should form athlntlc societies for the pro motion of wholesome exorcise. It is ju diciously suggested that what is good fo women in college must also bo good fo girls ia preparatory schools , nud un doubledly the time is at hand when phys ical Irainins in the scnools will go 1mm in hand with intellectual culture. Thi views of educators with respect to tin physical requirements of students ha : made very great progress within the pas few years , and with such strong and abli champions of physical education a Professor lliehards , of Ynlo college advocating it there is no danger tlm these views will not in thno generally prevail. There is no nrcumcut applyiuj lo the physical culture of men , as a con dition to their intellectual development that does not apply with equal force t < women , and Ibis fact needs lo be im pressed both upon parents nnd teachers to do which appears lo bo the object o the circular of tlio Association of Collegiate giate Alumiiiu. Another Bridge. There are renewed rumors of anothci bridge , which is to span the Missouri n Omaha and unite it with the Town whore We trust the report may turn out to be well founded. Such a bridge , open te carriages and passengers , and lit to sup port a cable line service would be a grea stimulus to the growth of both Omaha and Council lilufls. It would afford the farmers of western Iowa u ready marke for their products and would bring tc the people of Omaha cheaper and bettoi pardon produce fresh from tlio true ! farmers. It would encourage more frequent quent intercourse between our citizo&i and those of Council UlufTs. Ii addition , it would doubtless give t boom to cheap residence property in tin Bltills and oiler many inducements foi the building up of homos by those who could live in Council I31un"s and still do business in Omaha. The day of cut-throat rivalry betwecr Iho two eities ought to have passed away. Each has its own field which it U wel able to occupy without attempting tc build itself up by pulling down the other The time will come when the good , people plo of both cities will laugh good' naturally over the foolish bickerings auc jealousies of the past. By all means lot us have the bridge. Tnko I'iilii Killer. The railrogue democratic organ o : Omaha is suffering from a severe attacl of pain in the bowels. Honest democrats throughout Nebraska who refuse to foi low the political dictation of the- demo oratio tin can of corporate monopolies are making their views on the coming canvas very clear. They decline in ad vance to pledge themselves to train undoi the shysters and. political attorneys ol the allied corporations , oven if the bane ; does play the tuuo of "Andy Jackson' and the ciiinordant bugles sound the charge of "straight democracy. " Thoj are willing to bo democrats "first , lasi and all the time" where such devotion tc party does not imply a blind compliance with the wishes of party tricksters ant political mountebanks who nro pulling the strings iu the interests of their rail road masters. Dr. Miller's substitute has much tc learn about the real sentiments 01 Nebraska democrats. Ho has had several oral lessons already in trying lo regulate Douglas county ana Omaha oitf affaln without the support of his party.

' The Mind Cure and"Christian Science' frenzy has reached the west and attncket with considerable violence a large uum her of viutlms in our neighborhood "Authenticated cases" of miraeulou ; cures of nil classes of complaints are numerous. The faith-filled public Is in formed that disease has at last found i conqueror , that the era of pills , plasters and paregoric has had its day , nnd tha its place is to bo taken by ono of prayers precept and passes. The Influence o mind on mind and the roll ox action o mind on mailer are to bo invoked to sup plant the pharmacopeia and the surgeon' ; knife.

So far , no new physiea or psychical phenomena have boon pro sonled by the adherents of Iho Christlnr scientists which need the introductloi of the supernatural to account for theii presence. Two American Novels. Attention in literary circles has ro ccntly been directed lolwo notable works of fiction , each the production of at American writer nnd each remarkable for qualities which nro chiefly lacking Ii : the other. The ono is scholarly am brilliant , the other simple and natural The first Is the product of a college pro fessor , the other comes from the pen of f writer whoso schooling was principally gamed on a small Nebraska paper. Dlf furing widely in construction , in mcthoei and in motives , the very difference ami dissimilarity between Hardy's "Wind ol Destiny" nnd E. W. Howe's "A Moon light loy" ? at once compel attention ane ! invite comparison. Mr. Hardy is well known as an authoi who leaped from obscurity to fame by tlu publication of "Hut Yet n Woman" twc years ago. That powerful story oi woman's lovn and woman's sacrifice , sparkling with brilliants of wit , fillet ! with rare touches of pathos and studded with gems of philosophy , is well knowi to most readers who have marked the course of the best fiction. Ills present work follows different lines. It Is loss r novel than a monologue. There ii neither hero or heroine , plot nor design The characters drift aimlessly on the sea of llfo nmicl tempestuous waves and n cloud-filled sky. Fate , as blind as thai of the old Greek tragedies , impels ono tc suicide , another lo unrequited love , while a single figure roaches a happy port. The boon Is a story ot sullcriug , but there is left after all less impression ol story or character than of the personality of the author. It laokfi sharpness of out line and bioaellh of light to contrast will : Ihc depth of shadow ; Still it Is strong , original , forceful. 1)hc ) key on which it is pitched a minor , oufjj , it is true is well sustained. Th&to .are pictures ol landscape , full of ricii anil artistic color ing , brilliant epigrams , maxims and apothegms , and touches 'Of character aiv alysis which render the ) 'volume a booli llmt will bo read with profit and rcmem bercd with pleasure. , Mr. Ed Howe's "A Moonlight , Boy' will add to the reputation which he gained by thq publldaticta of his "Storj of a Country Town. . ' As Mr. Hardy's fortcj seems to lie in jthodirection of sub joclivo ilolion , Mr. Howe's undoubtedly si in tlmt of objeclive. He is a master of homely pathos , finding his material in lowly and out of the waj places , and nowhere so touehmtr and las cinating as when he narrates "the short and simple annals of the poor. " In his latest volume Mr. Howe gives his road , crs a series of remarkable charactci sketches in Kansas nnd humorous situa tions in a Mew York newspaper ollico , Tlio volume teems with quaint portraits and shows an insight into human nalurc and a gift of imagination and sustained strength , whioh prove the author to bo s most successful writer of fiction. Like Corot and Millet , whoso paintings deall largely with peasant llfo. nnd whose art ist hands by a few deft touches filled in the homely dresses , strong-lined faces and rough surroundings of field and country life , Mr. Howe pictures the work-a-day world of our common pco plo. There is no attempt to analyzeemo - lioi's or to dissect characters. They are sketched in bold lines , and the reader recognizes them promptly and fcols their presence. The charm of the author is Ills fidelity to nature , and his power of touching the fountains of fooling com mon lo all. Those combine- glvo a genuinely poetical atmosphere to his writings. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Cnnitcii Howi : assures the temperance people that they must take his record us Iho guarantee of what ho will do in the fuluro for the cause of "prohibition. Church introduced a prohibition bill nearly four years ago , to divert attention from railroad regulation and several jobs ho had iu hand. At the last session Church introduced a bill to make gam bling a felony , but when the Omaha frairfj blors contributed about $1,000 in cool cash ho lost interest ( and principle ) in the measure. Church has a record with as many streaks in ic as Jacob's lambs , which astonished his father-in-law so much. His bills lo improve the public morals are gotten up for revenue only.

' " . ' Caruncle's "Triumphant Democrnoy. W c have received , from Charles Serlb nors Sous , publishers , Now York , ono o ! the most iiilcri'sting books of Iho elny. 1 ia Andrew Carnegie's "Triumphant Democracy mocracy , or Fifty Years' March of the Republic. " This book is full of "meat1 from beginning to end. The extract ! whleh have been published by the lead Ing newspapers have given the people r very good Idea of what the volume con tains. Mr , Carnegie's opnnlni ; cltaptct is entitled "The Republic. " "it begin ; wilh the striking sentence : "Tho olel nations of llio earth creep on at a snail' . ' pact ) ; the Republic thunders past will the rush of the express. " The Unllct ! Stales , Iho growth of a ( tingle ) century , hag , says Mr. Carnegie , reached Iho fore most rank among nations , am : Is destined soon to oul-tlls laneo nil others m the race , Iu the succeeding chapters lie discusses the American pcoplo , cities and towns , conditions of life , occupations , educa tion , religion , pauperism , agriculture , manufactures , mining , trade and com- mereio , railways and waterways , art and music , literature , the federal constitu tion , foreign afl'alrs , the government's non-political work nnd the national balance sheet. He has written his story of Iho republic in an inlolligonl and al- tractive style , and a vein of eloquence runs entirely through it. There id not a dry page in the booK. The facts , figures , and statistics are arrayed in elegant liter ary garb , Inviting the atlonlion and courtship of the reader. In the hands of some wrltuts the material used by Mr. Curnagio would have bcun presented In a dry and uninterestinc manner , and would have attracted little or no atten tion and less comment. Mr. Carnaglo has demonstrated that in the mailer of moulding dry statistics into a beaittitul literary picture , ho ia an artist of high tlcgroo. Any person who reads "Triumphant Democracy" wjU e-NcJuim at the finish : r'I am proud unit lam an American ! " Mr. Carnaclo is a Scotchman by birth , but nn American by adoption. Ho is proud of his adopleel country , and his adopted country is proud of him. His dedication of "Triumphant Doiuoc- raoy" is as follows : To the Hetlovud Republic under whose equal laws I am made the peer of any man , nllhoimh denied political enuallty bv mj native laud 1 dedicate this bool ? with an Intensity of gratitude and admirailon which the native born eltl7.cn can neither feel nor uiuler&land. "Triumphant Democracy , " as the author says , may truly bo rogardetl as a labor of love "tho tribute of a very duti ful anil grateful adopted son to the coun try which has removed the stigma of in- foriorily which his native Uuiel saw pro- pen1 to impress Upon him , in tlio estima tion of its grout laws as well nstin his own ostiimiUou ( much the more impor tant consideration , ) the. peer of any human being who draws the breath of life , bei ho pope , kaiser , priest or king henceforth tlio subject of no man , but a frco man , a citzonl" That Mr. Carnagio , who is one of the greatest manufacturers m this country , should iinel time amid nil his various" busi ness duties to write such a work as this , as well as to do other literary labor , Is what surprises us. Ho is indeed a man of wonderful resources. The Ijnud Question. "Tho History of the Land Question in the United States , " by Shostike Sato , 1' . H. D. , forms the seventh , eighth and ninth contributions to the fourth series of "John Hopkins1 University Studies in Historical and Political Science , " of which Herbert 1J. Adams is editor , mulls. Murray the publication editor. This un pretentious pamphlet of nearly two hun dred puces is an important and valuable contribution to the study of the subject with which it deals. Wo go further and u 111 nil that it is the most exhaus tive study of the land question In our country which has ever fallen from the American press. Mr. Sato was specially commissioned by the Japanese government to investigate the history of the origin antl administration ot our public domain. It was to have been ox pec ted that ho would have exer cised oriental painstaking in his task. Hut the grace of style , the charm of dic tion , and the philosophical study of causes and conditions , which nro the re sults of Mr. Sato's labor , are remarkable and surprising. His work ou its Firnt Part pries into antiquity , runs rapidly ever agrarian legislation In other coun- Irlos , examines the , formative influoncoa of our land policy in the early days if the republic , Iho purchases of Florida and Louisiana , tlm Mexican ces sions , the annexatlonQof Texas and the imrchaso of Alaska. The second part forms an Interesting discussion of the tdminlstratlon of the public domain. The mlinanco of 1787 , which is Ihu founda tion ol our present land administration , is thoroughly disserted and previous leg- slation leading to It examined and com mented upon. The general hind ofllce as jstnbliHlitid by Hamilton , its functions ind responsibilities nro next mudo the subject of Mr. Sato's study , while the ivork Is completed by an exhaustive and readable historical survey of the changes n our land ( system , thu result of the vari ous laws paused to oncounign holllemoiit , ind the great problems which now con front the wise and honest uelministnition jf Iho national domain , "Two words , " jays Mr. Sato in concluding his book , "would suftlco to Indicate clearly the fu ture policy of the public landadminHra- tion , These words are "IJoform and Ro- sovery1 reform of legal abuses and re covery of Iho public lands from railroad jorporalions.

Weld , and "In Franco , " bv Charles Du Hays , is the double tillo of nn Instructive ) volume just Issued by the O , Juilel Publishing company of Now York. The work of M. Du Hays , published in 1803 , has been of luvnlimblo service to the drafl horse production of this coun try. Stimulated by It , many have bo- eomo breeders , and many line horses have been imported. The breed shows itself admirably adapted to this conti nent and to the needs of our agriuiilluro and street traluc. Edition after edition of "The Perchoron Horse" has been Jifinled , and the present ono Is preceded by a brief history of the introduction of the breed into this country. The forma ] lion of the American Porchoron Horse Hi-coders' association , with headquarter : * at Chieago.and co-operating with llio French Pcrcheron society , .to gether with the publication of a sluel- book , of which several volumes have ni- ready been Issued , marks an Important opofih In the history of the breed. Tlio Inlluencc of those two societies In favor of tlu ) noble race of Porcho may bo cstl mated by the opposition roused among rreuch drafl horse breeders outside of Porciho In Franco , abolted by draft horsa dealers in this country , who are forced now to commence the publication of n stud-book of the "mongrel broods.

Under proper treatment and management ho becomes trautablo , in ; tolligont , serviceable , and devotee ! to his master. The author of this volume has established a world-wide reputation for training and odue-atiug hor.ses.
