Ha * the Disturbing Klcmcnt IJocn
Hemovcd ?
A dispatch appeared in the Chicntro
A'or.ton Thursday which announced that
the defeat of Van \Vvck had forever re
moved a disturbing clement in Nebraska
politics. This yliovvs how shallow and
stupid some mm arc who pretend to bo
close observers of political currents.
( Jencral Van U.yt-k's defeat has tem
porarily removed n prominent anil
trusted popular leader from the national
senile. It has not afVcctod the cause
which he lias ably and consistently cham
pioned or the following which is tcimed
by the Chicago paper a disturbing cle
ment in Nebraska polities. Van AVyck
was only tlm embodement of certain
principles and reforms which
for years Inivo been a source
of commotion and ngitutton
among the people. The desire for relief ,
the conflict between opposing principles ,
the popular move-incut for popular ex
pression occasioned the dlsttubanco , not
( Impersonality of the leader. It is a
shallow view which mistakes the cll'cct
for the cause.
Senator Van Wyck misht have died In
thu middle of his term , but thu disturb
ing clement which opposes the misrule of
corporate monopoly , demands living
wages for Ihe working man , insists upon
honest business methods in railway man
agement and opposes extot lion and dis
crimination would have survived without
him. He may retire Irom public life and
politics , but the disturbing cle
ment which trusted him with
Its Icadcrshiu will still march
forward , daily gaining new recruits ,
and with other lenders holding aloft the
banner of emancipation liom corporate
slavery. For it is the disturbing ele
ments which secure political progress.
The free soilers and the abolitionists were
the disturbing elements In the demo
cratic and whig parties. Defeat after de
feat only strengthened the movement
aud hastened the day of victory. Great
leaders went down , but the cause sur
vived. It is a poor reform which is
founded on Iho popularity or the strength
of n single man.
The disturbing clement complained of
is not confined to Nebraska. It perme
ates social conditions in every state ofthe
tiniont Ilejiresenting a popular demand
which is Iho result of deep
seated conviction ol wrongs suf
fered bv the pcoule , it is the
germ of a new era dawning upon Amci-
lean politics which cannot bo perma
nently obscured by a passing cloud. The
people Initc created the corporations.
They must now conltol them. The men
who hiivo amassed wealth from labor
must now recogni/.e its just claims. A
citi/.enry which has built tip giant indus
tries by stimulants which have imposed
a heavy lav on the people demands a re
duction of taxation which is no longer
needed to bring fair profits to manufac
turers. These arc the principles which
have been advocated by General Van
Wyck ; they are the principles of n vast
number of intelligent voters. If they
form a disturbing element in our politics
as at present constituted , so much the
worse for the politics.
Finally , the disturbing clement is not
confined to any one of the parties. It is
working in all. And this is the cause of
its strength and progress. Ten years have
increased it from a minor factor in poli
tical calculations to one of such proportions
tions 11ml it cannot longer be ignored , it
is here , and hero to .stay. It is not the
effervescence of champaign which ceases
shortly alter the cork is drawn. H is
rather like a union of chemical elements
forming a reaction which will not cease
until the result is accomplished.

No ono now doubts that wo are in the
midst of a real estate boom. Property is
the one absorbing topio of general con
versation. No portion of the papers is
road with more intense interest than the
real estate transfers. As for the dealers
their name is legion. In other words we
have reached the speculative point where
the question of what income a piece of
property promi-es as an investment is
subordinate to that of how much can bo
made from its ro-transfcr. Hundreds of
people are buying to sell again where a
score arc purchasing to hold. The ex
citement and activity resulting constitute
a boom.
It must not be assumed that there is no
basis but spoculaliyo trading for the boom
which wo are now experiencing. The
contrary ID the case. The heavy pur
chases fo permanent improvement , the
large amount ol prospective building , the
growth of the city in business and in pop
ulation are all taken into account. Wo
are valuing the present and from it. esti
mating the future. The rapid and steady
rise in realty of the past two years seems
to give good assurance , under conditions
which are now working themselves out ,
for the hopes of the two years to como.
For all this , a word of caution
will not bo amiss. An excited
condition of business calls for
all the more earn in the cxnrciso of busi
ness judgment. Doom or no boom ,
values are values. Heal estate has little
intrinsic value. H is cheap or dear , just
so far as it will return cither in the pres
ent or tlu future a fair or a poor return
upon the money invested , In other
words its value is largely relative and
must bo guagud by Iho uses to which it
can bo put. The farther it is from the
business center the loss probable call
will thcro bo for its use lor purposes of
business or resldoncu as Omaha prop
erty. _
Btinnif * In the Public School- ) ,
Our publio schools with all their ad
mitted excellences and pretences of high
culture are in many respects a sham and
a mockery. \ \ o now pretend to loach
German. A single teacher imparts the
instruction to n class of seventy pupils in
the high .school. This class comprises a
largo number of boys and girls who
started out this year with no knowledge
whatever of the German language , and
many wlio are advanced enough to bo
taught German literature. As there is
no distinction made between those dif
ferent pupils the text books used are in
ofl'ect primer baby books , and for
all , practical . uses the whole
Gorman instruction is a farce , liegm-
tiers never reach the end of the course
and advanced pupils learn nothing. If
wo nro to have Gorman instruction in our
pbullc schools it should bo practical.
Thuro should bo method and grading
into clHsseij. The study should begin iu
the grammar school classes aud be car
ried upward into the high school to grad
uation. Otherwise it should bo aban
doned. Drawing U taught by two
teacher * One of these devotes herself
to teaching painting in wntor colon
while the majoritj of her class find diffi
culty in drawin ; : a straight line or a
timplc circle with nny approach to accu
racy instruction in drawing should bo
obligatory on every boy and girl ,
but It * should begin nt first
principles and require thorough
work. Mechanical drawing ought to bo
cspcc-ially fostered. Hut this thing ot
teaching water colors Is prcposlcVous. If
any of the pupils happen to develop
latent talent and seek to improve it else
where they will I'm 'I themselves com
pelled to unlearn most of what they have
acquired. Correct methods lie at the
foundation of all practical education.
There is no loyal road to learning.
Wo are paying heavily for music
teachers , bill the music taught has no
charm to ootho anybody. There is ab-
ioltitely no need of a teacher to leach the
teachers. Thcro are not enough of them
to make a class and most of them can
already sing as well as their instructor.
Singing in the schools should bo taught
simply as an cvcrcisn , not as an accom
plishment.
A t lee tu at Counoll
Council Mull's has entered upon a gen
uine boom , and the residents are not only
enthusiastic and confident , but numer
ous capitalists from elsewhere are mak
ing investments there. The boom is ap
parently on a solid basis. It is bared
largely on the belief that Omaha is to
continue its remarkable growth , and on
the proximity of Council HliiHs. There
arc largo tracts on the bottoms , which
can easily be used for warehouses , yards ,
mauufnctorifg and other enterprises
needing room. The prospect of a wapon
bridge and struct car line connecting the
two cities also increases tlio faith
in the future of Council llluli's.
Instead of Council IJIulls fostering
n spirit of envy or attempting to
bo a rival to Omaha , it now rc.iHx.ijs that
the closer connection with Omnha , the
more inrmonious its relations , the more
prosperity. . Numerous Omaha capital
ists are becoming interested in Council
IHtiIVs property , and the fact is signifi
cant that maps are being prepared show
ing both cities as separated only by the
river , and llns spanned by bridges. 1'or
several years there has been little activity
in Council Blull's property , but with the
prospect of a close union with Ouialm ,
this boom stntts iu. Residence property ,
especially for workingineii , is being
eagerly boticht up. There have b en
more transfers within a wt-ck than in any
one year before. -

In the present situation of European
affairs , which according to the latest dis
patches have again become threatening ,
all information relating to the war
power of the nations that would be in
volved in a general war is interesting.
In tlio February number of II-irpor's
Magazine , Sir R. J. Reed reviews the
war vessels of Italy , Russia , Germany ,
Austria and Turkey , with brief refer
ences 10 the = e of Greece , Spain and Per
tugal. Speed and battery power are the
two great features of Italy's huge war
ships. The Duiilio and Doudolo have a
speed of cloven knots , carry twenty-two
inches of armor on their sides , aud have
each a battery of four 101-ton Armstrong
guns. The Italia and Lopanto are oven
larger , with 18,000 indicated horse power
each , funnelling a speed ot IS knots.
On their massive towers tlioy carry 1 ! )
inches of armor , and arc mounted with
font toy-ton Armstrong guns , tlio heav
iest ordnance alloat in any navy. Nearly
equal to these are the Re Umberto ,
Sicilla and Sunlegiin , of 17 knots speed ,
with 111 inches of armor on the towers.
Three more great Italian war ships are
the Lauria , Morosini , and Doria , of ! 0
knots speeds , 11 inches of tower armor ,
nnd batteries of four 103 ton guns. All
these vessels have secondary
batteries and torpedo appli
ances. Iicsides tlieso great
battle ships , and the Palestro and Principe -
cipo Amiuleo. Italy has live unarmorcd
vessels with a speed of from into 17 knots
nearly a hundred torpedo boats finished
or under construction , several torpedo
vessels of 20 knots speed , and a large one
of 2,000 tons whii-h is to make 10 knots ,
It is thus seen that the naval power ol
Italy is formidable.
Tlio ll'iss-ian navy consists of tho.IJlark
Sea and ISallic fleets , besides three llotil-
la.s , the Siberian , Caspian and Aral.
Three 10 knot ships are under construc
tion in the Black Sea licet , to bo belled
through with 18-inch armor and with 11-
inch armor on their towers , and armed
each with six 10-ton guns. There tire also
two circular vessels having 18-inch armor
and Iwo 10-ton guns. The Baltic fleet
contains the Peter the Grc.il with four
10-ton guns , and ten ether heavily : ir-
morcd ships a rebuilt or building. Russia
has also luO torpedo boats built or under
construction , and a few SO-kuot torpedo
vessels.
Germany's navy possesses four ships
having lii-iiu-h armor , and an equal num
ber having OJ and 10 inches of armor.
Her largest ironclad is the Konig Wil-
lic'lm , of 0,750 tons , 11 } knots speed and
12 inches of armor , carrying eighteen 11-
Ion guns. There are thrco ether
largo war vessels , though inferior
to tlio above , about fifteen iinarmorud
frigates and corvettes , and inoro than a
hundred torpedo boats , while three
unnrmorod cruisers , to have a speed
of 18 to 19 knoUs , are building.
Austria has two powerful ironclads ,
three belted ships with central battery ,
and two now ironclads building. Thcro
are a good many less cfi'octivo ships in
her nayy and a fair supply of torpedo
craft. Turkey has two powurf ill armored
ships , thirteen smaller ironclads , and
sovonten torpedo boats. Greece has
twenty-Sevan torpedo boats , ono torpedo
vessel of 11 knots , ono fast cnusor and
two weak ironclads. Spain has Iho iron
clad Vittoriu a'nd is building a formidably
fcteol turret ship , which will carry two
and 18-ton and is designed
u3-ton two - guns , -
signed to have a speed of 10 knots. She
has fourteen iiuarmorcd vessels and ono
building , a torpedo catcher of the remarkable -
markablo speed of 21 knots , and thrco
sea going torpedo boats. Spain is grow
ing as a naval power. Little Portugal
has but one ironclad and two fast unarmored -
armored cruisers. Referring to Franco ,
Sir K. J. Rood says she is "n really great
naval power , and there nro circumstances
which would make a naval conflict be
tween her nnd Kngland ono of the most
uncertain iu the history of Iho world. "
The naval policy of Germany is defensive.
Turkey is slowly but surely succumbing
to Russia , and it is but n question of time
when Russian mastery over Turkey iu
T 1
the Black sea will bo complete. Italy
ha ? a naval role of her own to plav in
Kiirop0 , and is pliy\n1it well.
Society nnd the Since.
A tlraniatlo clulj of Brooklyn , New
York , composed of people who "strut
their brief hour" in the higher walks of
society in that goodly oily , has recently
Rained some local notoriety by disparag
ing action regardmg sonic of its mem
bers who have nppearejl on the stage in
amateur dramatic enlortftinmenls. This
purpose of the elub s of course purely lit
erary , but it is nicv'jtalfle that such a so
ciety will attract pooplb having a more
or less pronounced histrionic talent ,
which is developed by the study and asso
ciation with kindred spirits , and with this
development irrow s n desire , quite un
conquerable witli some , to give their realer
or fanpird abilities a public airing on Iho
stage. It seems that this Brooklyn clubhas
produced several persons of this kind ,
omo of whom ailnovctl a marked success
as amativ.il actors , and acquired thereby
a good deal of popularity. Toward those
persons there was first manifested on the
part of certain members of the club ,
doubtless less cifted , a disposition to ig
nore them socially , and dually this ole-
men ! became sulHciently strong to pro
claim on behalf of the club the social os
tracism of any member who .should par
ticipate in a public dramatic entertain
ment. H is not questionable that envy
Mad some part in prompting this action ,
but It was accompanied with a direct
reflection upon this morality of the
stage and the respectability of those who
adopt It as u profession. There is a do
grcc of stultification in such a proceeding
on the part of a dramatic club , but the in
cident is interesting chiclly as the ex
pression of a feeling all too general re-
ganling thestago'and it.s people.
That theslngu is inherently immoral
it is presumed will not be maintained by
any intelligent and entirely unprejudiced
person. There is not in the prodvictiou
of a proper play , or in the participation
in such production , anything necessarily
hostile to morality. On the contrary , it
can be successfully shown that the Plage
has been , and therefore m. y still be , u
moral force. Jl has been used by this
church as an auxiliary to its cllbrts. Hut
it is nevertheless true that the charge of
immorality against the stage has been
made almost since acting became a re
cognized art. Addison deprecated the
moral deterioration of the stage in his
day , nnd directed against it some of the
severest censure of his polished pen.
Nobody doubts that there was ground for
it. The English str.gc of the past , under
the patronage of a dissolute nobility , was
unquestionably as bad as it could be.
Even to-day it has its Violet Cameron
and Fortcscnc , but it also lias its Ellen
Terry and Miss Eahtlako. Docs any fair-
minded and reasonable- person
believe that Henry Irving and Wil
son iJarrctt arc purveyors of
vice ? The Frcncli stage has done more
than its .share to brine the institution into
disrepute , but who is there so uncharita
ble and unjust as to judge all French
actresses by the standard of Sarah Hern-
lianlt ? As to the American stage it can
be proudly aflirmcd of it that there , is not
a stain upon the moral records of the
< ; reat native actors whoso art has made
it illustrious.
The great majority of those who con
demn the stage depend for their opinions
upon tradition , or select for examples the
few who dishonor their profession , ig
noring Iho many who give it credit , char
acter ami worth. Why think only of
Kachcl iuut Ucrnhardl , among thegicat
in ihuir art , and siica adventuresses as
Cameron and Fortoseuc , and leave out of
consideration Charlotte Ctislnnan , Eliza
Logan , Julia Dcanollayne. Mrs. Mowatt ,
Alary Anderson , Ellen Terry , Margaret
Mather , and others who contributed their
gt nius to the stage and lived unsullied
lives' Xo just judgment can be ren
dered on such one-sided evidence. (3rant-
ing that the stage is not free from condi
tions favorable to the moral decline of
these in its service predisposed to go in
that direction , it is still to be said that
the sweeping charge of immorality
against the stage and those- who people it
i ? essentially unjust and cannot bo sus
tained by the facts. Jt noodb to bo ro-
membcred , nlso , that the slagi' has not
been greatly behind in the general march
of moral improvement.
TIIKHI : appears to bo a very loud ami
earnest call for legislation from congress
to regulate , leison or n-movo some ol the
conditions that contribute most largely
to the immorality of the District of Co
lumbia. The statements that come from
the national capital allow no other infer
ence than that in moat respects it is one
of thu very wickedest cities in this or
any other country , and growing steadily
worse. We 'are inclinu-d to hope that
there is some exaggeration , but there can
Do no doubt that Washington is very
much worse morally than it ought to be ,
nnd that there is largo opportunity for
improvement. The first stop which it is
uroposod to take in the direction of rc >
form i to enact a strong high license-
liquor law. A bill for this purpose
passed the senate at the last ses
sion , and is.now in.thu house. If this can
bo douo it will bo found comparatively
easy to remedy other dillicultics in thu
way of a boltor social condition.

"A large portion of the great humorist's
wit lay in extravacancn of statement , but
there aio writers and tale-tellers who lay no

truth for a moment called in question. In
fact truth is slr.mticr than fiction. 1 heard
some of these kind ot stories only a few days

they bear the stamp of truth In cvciy line.
