Li\tiitsinr : ) : and coherence are the two
proat needs of the republican party in
congress. They are responsible for much
of Iho w 'alcnessexhibited in the present
session.
Wi ; want it distinctly understood that
Jim Paul , who has been a cheerful at
tendant on the legislature since its bcs-
MOII opened , is not a dark horse for the
Van Wyck succession.
A ii.M.r n do/.en railroads are pointing
Omahawurds We should lake a new

surveyors are working briskly in oveiy
portion of our city limits.
l > oi III.AS county will have thirteen
members in tlio next legislature and a
controlling fraction of a fourteenth mem
ber. This means that Douglas county
will bo the pivot of all senatorial lights in
the future.
i ; Representative Andres is fcai-
Jc s enough to say what he thinks and
net his own convictions ho is lampooned
as a dangerous and very bad man by the
nnti-Van Wyck small bore that repre
sents the whole earth at Lincoln.
TT is the eve of Iho senatorial battle
and ( ionoral Van Wyok'.s supporters
iiavo no reason to fear the conflict.
They hold tlio position of advantage ,
have numerical superiority and are
backed by an overwhelming public sen-
t timonl In llioir favor.
KANSAS CUT is showing an unreason
able jealousy of Omaha , Both cities are
prospering us only great distributing
points for a great section ol country can.
Potty jealousies between two cities of the
K\O \ of Omaha and Kansas City are un
called for and cannot advance the inter-
this of either.
Tin ; attempt to make Speaker Ilarlan
n dark horse candidate is very ingenious
but it is not likely to pan out when put
to the tost. Air. Ilarlan Is for Van Wyck
first , last nnd all Iho timo. That is the
issue on which ho was elected and ho is
not the kind of a man that would desert
ids colors at any price.
Mit. WIAVIU : : insists that it is danger
ous to elect Paddock for many reasons ,
the least of which is that ho would estab
lish n marine hospital at Nebraska City
nml a naval observatory at Kearney.
Mr , 1'aiKlock responds that ho will have
to mount the largest telescope in thn
United States to como within eight of
Weaver's chances for Van Wyck's bro-
Anr.it considering the interstate com
merce bill n liltlo more carefully the rail
roads e.uuo to the conclusion that it
might be worse than it was , und that
prudence dictated its passage to prevent
a more stringent law in the future. A

upon voted for the passage of the bill as
amended in the joint confoionco. The
measure now goes to the house.

McHhnnc ntiil Iho Democrats.
Mr McSluinc is credited with being
level headed enough to know a hand
spike froni.i handsaw when ho sees it. lie
knows that thirjycoii democrats can *
not cast sixtyecn * votes. He knows
that there is not money enough in all the
syndicates of which ho is a member to
buy thirty icpublieans. and even if they
Were purchasable he could not n flout lo
take a scat at the priceof wholesale-
bery. Those who want McShanc to enter
the race are not his fueiids , but cither
personal enemies of Van Wyek , boodlors
who want McSltanc's money , or railroad
Idtclings. They want to use Me-
Shane as a cat paw to mill railroad
ohestnuls out of the lire , or they
want to act as go bctwcens to cotrtipt
members while the } are lining their own
pockets.
The test ol men's characters comes
when they are subjected to templing hon
ors at tlie liamU of fool friends or hypo
crites No honest friend of McShano
would advise him to the reckless and dis
reputable scheme of Inlying a legislature.
No real friend of Mr. McShano , whether
democr.it or republican , would like to
see him act the stool pigeon for the mo
nopolies against the man who has the
largest popular following in the
.state and enjoys the conlidcncc of
the laboring und producing classes.
Tliu McShanc movement originates
and ends with the faction of railroguo
democrats that trains under Miller and
Hoyd on the one side and the railroguo
democrats thai are doing Iho political
dirty work of the Burlington road. Mr.
MoShane himsell has publicly und pri
vately disclaimed all responsibility for
the introduction of lib candidacy us n
factor in tlio ptescnl senatorial cam
paign. Even if he were so cra/.y as lo
imagine that ha could buy thirty repub
lican members it is notorious and well
known to him that he could not get all
thu democrats in the legislature.
A Itaptiyt University.
The Baptists of Nebraska propose to
establish at an early day an institution of
learning which , while under the auspices
of lliuir own denomination , will be free
to bestow its advantages upon any who
may seek admission. There is no such
college ii ) this portion of the west and it
is believed that the opening would draw
n hearty support from a largo section of
the country.
An effort is now being made to secure
the location of the pioposed university in
Omaha. Plans are maturing to awa.ken
public sentiment to the advantages
which would accrue to this city from the
establishment of a university in our midst
strongly endowed , built on a substantial
foundation and well supported locally
and from without.
Jt is greatly to be hoped that the effort
will prove a success. The , stun required ,
$200,000 , is a large one but the organi/.ers
of Iho project aio wise in declining lo
found a new college except on such a
basis as will assure ito success and pro
vide for ils permanency. One of the banes
of western colleges is the great number
of small aud .struggling institutions
which never acquire reputation or attain
a lariro sphere ot i elulncss be
cause f'ey are hampered and
restricted by poorty and compelled to
sacrifice a high standard to the desire to
scenic pupils : il any cost. Omaha ought
to bo able to compote with any other city
in the state for the honor of being the
homo of the new college. She has only
ono collegiate institution in her midst ,
tlio gift of a generous family who have
immortali/ed Iho name uf Croighlou by
associating it with their handsome bene
faction to education. Our citi/.ons
should interest thcmsohes al once in Ihe
mailer and lake prompt steps to ascer
tain what Omaha can atl'ord to do in the
premises. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Oil Inspection
The legislature should not fail al ils
present session to pa s a law providing
for the inspection of illuminating oils
and the proper branding of all packages
from which tuoy are .sold lo consumers.
In the absence of such a law , which is
borne on the .statute books of all neigh
boring states , Nebraska is being deluged
with petroleum products of the most
dangerous character which are palmed
oil'on the public as high test oils. In
Omaha and elsewhere oils toslin , ; as low
as 80 ° are sold lo Iho poorer classes of
consumers as 110 ° test aud 110 ° oil for
100 ° . There is of course a large margin
of profit in this kind of cheating , just as
there has been in selling biitterine for
pure butter. In the ono case , however ,
there was no danger involved lo life or
property , while in the other case both are
menaced.
A proper law for public protection
modelled after either thu Illinois or Ohio
statute should piovide tor the inspection
of every package ot illuminating oil
which comes into tlio state , its thorough
test by the most approved apparatus and
the stencilling ot the grade on the barrel ,
cask or can. It should be made a crim
inal oll'etiso to adulterate such oils when
once inspected or to sell any oil of a
lower test than specified. A btatc inspector
specter ami deputies should huvo Iho
matter in charge under regulations and
restrictions wnich ought to be spccilically
provided for in the slalulo to afl'ord tlio
widest protection to the public from the
nvarieo ami greed of conscienceless deal
ers who are willing to endanger Hfo
itself in order lo Inereaso their profits.
It is remarkably that Nebraska has had
no such law on Its .statute books. It
should have been attended to long ago.
. - the Movement.
The movement in behalf of Industrial
education is advancing with a vigor and
rapidity cliaracterMic of Ihe American
people when they become earnestly de
voted to a principle. One of tha instru
mentalities for furthering this movement
is tlio Industrial Educational Association
of Now York , recently organised , ami
which promise * great usufuluess in its
field of work , The object of thu associ
ation is best oxplaned by the code ot
principles upon which it is founded , some
of which are : That the complete develop
ment of all the faculties can bo reached
only throiiL'h a system of education
which combines the training found in the
course of study with the elements of
manual training ; that the current tsybtem
of educalion Indus Iho memory lee
largely , the reasoning powers loss , the
eye uiui the hand too little , that industrial
training to have Its tidiest vuluo must be
an integral part ot general education ,
that as children wherever found possess
the same powers and develop the same
characteristics , this system should bo in
troduced into al } classes and grades of
schools , tliu private as well in tlic public
school , ami not alone m tlic primary
public schools , but in nil those of morn
advanced { Trades. Tim claims of
tl.c system arethat it tends to the devel
opment of certain moral qualities , as
well as to the development of the intel
lectual facilities ; that the varied occupa
tions which it gives totlio children render
study loss irksome than any system can
in which the exercise of llic faculty of
memory Is alone involved , and that it
will do much to remove the widespread
disinclination to manual labor which ex
ists in this country , and which the present
system of education seems powerless to
overcome , The association proposes
thoroughly practical methods for dissem
inating its views , and has just increased
its means and facilities.
Among the prominent educators of the
country who have become- advocates of
industrial education the latest accession
is President Oilman , of John Hopkins
university. In a recent lecture ho argued
that instruction in the use of the hand
was not simply the training of a phy
sical or/ran / , but a means of cultivating
the brain as well , and therefore had : i
legitimate place in any schmno of intel
lectual development. Hence ho advo-
caleM the introduction of the rudiments
of handicraft into the schools of the nation.
The scissors and needle , the knife , aw
and hammer , and above all , the
pencil , he recommended as lit appliances
to rest on the desk by the side of the
grammar and arithmetic. Ho contended
that the great defect of education nowa
days was that It taught the young to value
the printed book alone , spoiling their
eyes wilh bad type anil bad light , and ne
glecting entirely the cultivation of the
eye and hand. A large part of the shallowness -
lowness , inaccuracy , slovenliness and
vagueness of the present day was - undoubtedly
doubtedly duo to this failure on the part
of school systems to teach the iaithtul ,
careful reproduction by the hand of what
tlic mind lias . "As
thought out. to man
ual training schools , " said President Oil
man , ' 'they should be-in with rudiment
ary work , advancing by stages adapted
to the capacity of each scholar. Drawing
.should bo the fundamental branch
taught. The system of training .should
be lilted to school hours and school days.
Above all , the principle should be en-
lorceiPand repeated that the hand trains
the mind , the mind the hand , and the eye
both. "
Thus it is shown that this important
movement is making steady progress in
popular regard , winning to its stippoit
the ablest educators of the country , and
developing on wise and sound principles
a system that will assuredly in time be
come general and permanent.
lOvlls ol Chilli Ijnlior.
Child labor , with its attendant evils ,
has commanded a good deal of attention
in this country within the past twenty-
live years. In a number of the states laws
hav been enacted regulating the employ
ment of snch labor , and in localities these
htatutes have been 1 airly well enforced.
But quite generally , where child labor
can be made available and is freely ot-
fered , it is still largely employed regard
less of legal inhibition , and the nvils and
Sbu es incident to it , if less grave than
formerly , are yet so perious as to make a
demand upon the interest of all good
citizens , ai.d especially of every humani
tarian. Professor Felix Adlur , in an ad-
drcs-i delivered last Sunday on this ub-
jcct before the Society of Ethical Culture
in Now York , .said that while this is
called a humanitarian age , and in a cer
tain sense is so , vet with this humanita-
riauism exists a most deplorable indiller-
ence totlie miseiies of tlic masses. In
England not long ajro child labor was
one of the darkest blots of modern civil-
i/.ation. Children of three , four , live and
six years of age were found working in
English factories , mines and brick yards
ten hours a day and longer. But English
law , due largely to the great work of the
Earl of Shaftesbury , now prevents the
employment of children under ten years
of age , and children under four
teen are restricted to live
hours' work a day. No child
is admitted to a factory without a doe-
tor's certilicato as to age and and phys
ical condition.
In tliis country the professor
said the evil of child labor is
growing to an alarming extent. He
cited the fact that in one district of Now
Jcisoy there were -170 children under ten
years of ago in 178 factories , employed
from tcu to twelve hours a day , one es
tablishment having r > 0 children between
the ages of ten and lifteen years. So far
as known , there are 21,000 childien cm-
proved in the state of Now Vork , of
which number ! ) ,000 of both so.xes , rang
ing Irom eight to lifteen years , are at
work in the factories of New York city.
But these ligures really convey a very
small part of the startling truth regard
ing the employment of child labor in the
United States. They are merely suggesl-
ivc and must bo supplemented by the
figures from the oilier slates where the
labor of children H largely employed in
order to give the subject its dug imprcs-
siveness. It is doubtless not an c.xngger-
ation to state the number of children
now employed in the United States at
150,000 , a majority of whom arc under
the age at which children should bo kept
steadily at work.
The condition of these children at ma
turity , saia Professor Adler , could bo im
agined. It there was an
immediate oflcet on society
what would it be on generations to come.
Investigations showed a frightfully low
average of intelligence among factory
children. Many of them could not reader
or write , did not know the state they
lived in , and arithmetic was Aiabio to
them- The children of the factories
would bo the fathers tind mothers of fu
ture generations , and what that means
for society it Is not diflicult to imagine.
England is ahead of this country in its
treatment of this question of child labor ,
and a ntill better example is Switzerland ,
which has shown a care and wisdom in
this matter beyond every other country.
What has been douo in those lands can
as surely bo accomplished here , when-
eyer public sentiment is sullicicntly
aroused to the "urgency of the question ,
The existence of the evil is duo quite as
much to the cupidity or iulolcnco of the
parents of thousands of these unfortunate
children as to the avarice of the employ
ers , but it is with the latter that the laws
of restraint mid regulation must pri
marily deal , as they do an England and
Switzerland. Without the collusion or
cqnnivanco of the employer the most ob
jectionable features of child labor could
not exist , and the law .should provide its
severest penalties for those who know *
Ingly or indiU'eientli unploy children at
an age when they are unfitted for the
labor required of tln.ni , and when such
employment dcpiiu- them of the men
tal and moral training they should receive -
ceivo ,
Till' American side of the fisheries dis
pute has an advocate in the distinguished
English statesman , John Bright , who has
the fairness and manliness to say that the
claim of this country is reasonable. He
also has the candor to confess that if
Canada wore not supported in its unjust
tcotirsn find attitude b England it would
jieldits assumptions , while England is
forced to connive at the injustice because
it possesses Canada. It is noteworthy
that Air. Bright rcforml to this matter
as fiunishlngan argument against fed
eration , the force of which must bo felt
by every fair-minded Englishman. Such
distinguished and disinterested testimony
to the justice of America's position
ought also to have some inlluencc in
strengthening the purpose of this gov
ernment to adheio to its position.
JriHJi : Bitr.wiit : has rendered a de
cision against the Pullman company in
their suit to restrain the collection of
taxes on rolling stock used in Iowa.
Judge Brewer very properly decides that
movable property like the Pullman
coaches must bo taxed whore it is used
and not at the place of domicile of the
company controlling it. It is safe to say
that the Pullman company pay no tax'es
on any coaches run in other slates.
Their attempt to evade tax-ex in Iowa is
an attempt lo evade taxation altogether.

loprcsenlalhes lioin i > ouclas county , is
making an excellent iccoid. So lui his evciy
action has been In HIP inlorcsls of Iho poo-

having insetted In the now city charter the

Ox-n evening not long ago a number of
prominent gonilcmcn pa\c a lllllo bnnqucl tea
a visiting .stiangcr nt the Mlllard hotel. John
L. Sullivan , the pugilist , happened to bo a
guest of thn Milhud at the time , and ho was
invited to bo present nt Iho banquet , II being
thought that possibly ho might in some way
add to the amusement ot1 the occasion. Sev
eral speeches had been made , and finally
Sullivan was called upon to make a few re-
minks. The champion .slowly to u to his
feet , and assuming n somewhat sti iking atti
tude , he said , voiy slowly and dellberalely :
" 1 can't make a speech , but If you want a
little amusement I'll light any feller in the
room. " Sullivan sat down amid thundoiing
applause. Xo ono accepted his challenge.
Ho made the hit ol Hie evening.
THE announcement of the dissolution of
the linn of Byron Hccd&Co. has caused
considerable comment. By the dissolution
Mr. howls S. Heed withdraws ami A. L.
Heed , son ofMr. Byron Iteed , takes his
place. It is an entirely umlcnblo arrange-
mont. Mr. Lewis S. Jteed , who Is ono ol the
best business men In Omaha , has become
pretty well li.xed. Ho has become tired of
confinement to oflico woik. Ho will now
hnvo moio time to dovolo to the vnilouscn-
tci prises in which he Is interested , nnd at the
saino time ho Is fico to engage in any busi
ness schema that ho may consider woitliy of
his attention , The firm with which ho was
so long connected was the oldest leal estate
agency In Omaha. Byron Iteed is every
where known ns "tho old lelinblc , " and his
time has been hugely UK en up with the
placing of loans for other parties. Ho is ono
of Omaha's largest property holders and
wealthiest elti/ens.
"Ir Is singular how men sometimes he-
como famous , and deservedly so , by so mo

w as thai Iho publisher for a time could not

for him nnd his publisher. But Conn ay ,

WASHINGTON' , 1) . C. , Jan. 11. To the
Editor of tlie Bii : : : 11 is hard for those
who do not seethe tendency which capi
tal has of drifting towards oppression lo
understand Ihe interest with which the
Van Wyek campaign is being watched by
the nisiss of politicians , statesmen and
capitalists congregated hero at the capi
tal of the nation. The most moagro re
ports are pounced upon and voraciously
devoured , aud Iho most unreasonable
and absurd distortions of Iho press urn
perused with eagerness. It can bu easily
observed that the opinion of Ilio majority
hero is lhat General Van Wyck will bu
Ids own successor , but , of course. , owing
to the uncertainty of politics , all ideas
upon tha result of the campaign are pef-
moated with doubt. Whatever may bo
the surprises of the future , it is to bu
hoped that as the remedy for existing
evils must como in the way of legisla
tion , thu people of Nebraska will fix thu
anchor of their doiiondoiici ) on a man of
tested and unshaken Intogiity , nnd at
least in the present crisis , in ono of Jong
and varied oxpurionc.0 in publlo Hfo , By
all moans should those men hit
avoided who have accumulated wealth
through the inlluoiioo of monopolies , and
are now seeking the ballots of the people
in oidur to save themselves from the
dreadful alternative of having nothing
to do but nuraii their gouty legs and foot
over their punt life and present inac
tion.
( Jiiiieral Van Wyck has always denounced -
nouncod with withering iini the aristoc
racy of wealth , which is fully as contemptible -
temptiblo as the aristocracy of fashion or
blood , if not more so. Ho is now en
deavoring to arouse the people to a just
appreciation of tholr power , that they
may not bow down with truckling servil
ity to ilio insignia of weallh unaccom
panied by merit , but pour forth their
voices against those who deny the claims
of the unfortunate to their assistance.
May honest Van Wyck succeed in wip
ing away the plaguu spots that have ap
pealed ujioii the facn of Nebraska , that
the rosy lines of health may again bloom
upon her checks.
