Disappointing The reported dissatisfaction of Senator McPhoraon with the way In which the Pa cific railroad commission is conducting Its Investigation is doubtless snared by all who have carefully and Intelligently observed the progress of the Inquiry. Two weeks of the brief time that the commission has in which to perform its work have passed , and it has really ob tained no information of the character which the law creating It calls for , or upon which it could rely for an intelli gent and trustworthy report to congress of the earnings , expenditures , policy and management ot the roads. The olllcials of thu corporations who have been exam ined by the commission have all shown themselves deplorably deficient in that definite and accurate knowl edge of facts which men in such positions are ordinarily supposed to bo entirely familiar with. Some interesting disclosures have certainly boon made , but the very best of thorn have not thrown much new light on the general subject , and have added no trustworthy data to the practical information which it is the business of the commission to obtain. The obvious fact is that the commission begun its work at tiio wrong end. It should have gene directly to the books , contracts , and other documentary evi dences in the possession of the roads showing the facts which the law requires them to investigate , and having obtained the fullest information to bo had in this way the explanations of the offi cials would probably have been in order. The practical way was to have gone down to the bottom facts , and not , as Senator McPherson says , to have merely skimmed the surface , provided only with such facts as are of common knowledge , or which are readily acnossi- bio becaiifio the roads take no trouble to conceal them. It can readily bo under stood that the comrui ssion would be at a disadvantage in encountering the shrewd and careful olllcials of the roads. These gentlemen are not friendly to the investi gation , and can bo depended upon not to wittingly do anything to promote its success. 'Ihoy are practiced in the art of evasion , and some ot them may be trusted in emergencies for prevarication. They are pretty sure not to surrender iny knowledge which it is safer to keep nlcss it is forced from them. If the iiembers of the commission were so in- onerous as to suppose thattheso ofliclals would lead them to the desired nformation they ought by this time to ave learned their mistake. This the lommission will obtain only by plodding esoarch in the quarter where such information mation is matter of record , and this is ho task to which it should have first ad- resficd itself. The statements or explanations of head fllcials may ho desirable and necessary , iut the bottom facts are the essential hing , both as a basis to enable the com mission to carry on its work intelligently nd properly and for the information of iongrcss and the country. It should waste no more of its valuable time with ho generalities , evasions and conceal ments of the chief officials , but go at once to the foundation of the business hey have in hand and work upwards. Otherwise the investigation is very likely o provo a failure , as the corporations of ; ourso wish it to bo. Relating to an Evil. A Philadelphia paper has undertaken .o expose and arrest the knavish fortunetellers - tellers who boldly advertise to perform miracles and reveal the unknown things of this life and picture the life to como. In that city it is said that hundreds ot those quacks and mountebanks who do nothing but practice the trade ' of roguery are unmolested by the law. The many women engaged in the business of Uup- ing credulous people and aiding and en couraging immoral practices of all kinds by assuring the erring ones that they can consult the stars or their hands and proscribe a royal road of harmless hap piness , are increasing in numbers and brozonness. The North American has shown how openly and how flagrantly the law has been and is violated. It hof brought these violations to the attention of the authorities and insists that the evil-doers bo prosecuted and their dam nable business be brought to an early end. The old hags who for years have practiced their dishonest vocations have insisted that their business was le gitimate and their "customers among the most wealthy and prominent of the city. " So bold have they grown thai they have actually become procurers by gaining the donlider.co of young girU and claiming that by their magic they will relieve them of any trouble into which they may fall. The authorities are investigating the charges of the newspapers , and the revelations have alarmed the parents of Philadelphia. All cities are cursed with these human blights. The larger the place the more numerous the frauds who have "bJon most successful In revealing the past and future on business , love and family af fairs. " The great "tranco claravoyauts,1 " " ' - " ' -fortune toll "astrologerspalmistsfortune crs" and what not , are great rogues as s general rule. They ruin moro happy homes and load moro young women as Stray than any other corrupting Inllu cnco. Generally speaking it is safe tc say that such ilk have nothing to olio : but misery and unhappiness am their most confidential advici to a frequent caller is thoi printed information to an out o town customer. Cunning , deceit am duplicity comprise their capital and th silly dupe patronizing them is alone t blanio if , finding himself or Herself tighl ing witli imaginary demons revealed b ; a cunning conjurer. In the oldun time witches wore burned because they be longed to the devil. In this moro dogcn orate ago these dospoilcrs of maritia peace are recognized by law , and the ! business winked at by respectably. The , should bo driven out of every community ' Out of the llacc. There have boeu several recent Indlca tlons that the Hill boom for 18S3 isHo b abandoned , or indeed has already booi practically given up. It is not certainl ; known whether or no the visit of Colonc Lamout to Governor Hill last week hai any political significance , but it is i pretty safe guess that politics was no wholly Ignored during their fraterniza tion. Jt Is hardly conceivable tnat thes two could be together oven during a : ordinary breakfast-time without rcforr ing to a subject which at all time chiefly engrosses the thoughts of both and which must nooossanally urge Itsol with especial foroo upon their a tie at io ; when they are together. At all eroats It U the belief in Washington palltical cir cles that Colonel Lament wont to New York on a definite mission to the governor , and that the re sult was satisfactory. It is be lieved that Governor Hill has con * eluded that it will bo wlsa to antagonize Mr. Cleveland , and that he will endeavor to give the president thu support of the forces he controls , In the hupo of thereby gaining strength for himself tv few years later. It h not Incredible that a shrewd po litl- clan , as Governor Hill unquestionably is , should in view ot prevailing conditions roach this decision. It was well enough for hint to accept , and perhaps encour age , the movement In behalf of his presi dential aspirations in Now York. Tliorc was no good reason why ho should deny his admirers the privilege of booming him to their hearts' content. They en joyed it , it gave him national prominence , and it afforded an opportunity for test ing the sense of the party outside of New York. In the latter respect the effect of the movement has been pretty thoroughly ascertained , and it cannot have failed to convince Mr. Hill , if ho be made of "pen etrable stuff , ' ' that there Is not the least chance of his being the democratic can didate in 1SSS if Mr. Cleveland desires ronomination. Even were he assured of an undivided Now York delegation , which is by no means tliu case , his chances would not bo improved , since the very fact would intensify the hostility to him of other sections to such an extent as to utterly destroy the influence of Now York in the convention. U would be re garded as a deliberate effort to destroy the harmony of the party , in the interest of personal ambition , which democrats from every other section of thn country would feel bound to repudiate , and which would bo repudiated. For Hill the renunciation - nunciation would bo permanent. His oc cupation as a democratic leader would be orovor gone. Doubtless Governor Hill fully com- rehcnds all this. Ho Is stupidly jbtuso if ho doesn't perceive that the > arty does not want him as its next residential candidate and that he can acrificc no chauco of his political future > y giving the party to understand that 10 doesn't expect to bo its candidate loxt year , but will bo found in line sup- ) orting the man whom It evidently does want. Yet whether he shall withdraw or not from tliu race he Is none the less ) ractically out of it as against Clove- and. The Government Sli.nrks. A settler in the northern part of Min nesota stole ono stick xof timber rom the government's land. Ho was arrested some forty days before his trial took place. He languished in jail that engtn of time , and was convicted in the federal court for theft. The judge sus pended his sentence. The St. Paul ( Jlobe says : lie violated the law and had a right to ex pect Its penalties. The United States olll- cials did rl ht In apprehending him and bringing him to justice. Granted that the freezing man violated the law and stole one stick of timber from the government. Admit thai in stealing the timber ho was not justified although he was without wood and his family was freezing , it seems that the government officials while they did only tiicir duty- could have found better and more honor able employment than arresting the "thief" and throwing him in jail for forty days. The government has been robbed blind for the last twenty-live years by gigantic corporations , scheming congressmen and senators , public land thieves aud subsidy scoundrels. The perpetrators of these glaring crimes occupy high social posi tions and enjoy political distinction. They are hardly ever exposed and not ono in a thousand finds himself where he rightfully belongs in the penitentiary , Yet in tiio face of all of this ii a poor , half-starved foreign pettier of the frontier takes one stick of wood ho is nabbed by a crowd of dcsignins government sharks and incarcerated in a jail for forty dayspreparatory to boine pulled through a long and perplexing trial in order that the government greyhounds > hounds may get their foes. Such incon sistency can result in no great good. Tun attentions shown the Hawaiiar queen in this country have developed some novel incidents , but nothing quite so unique as the address of Lieutenant Cowles , of the navy , who welcomed the dusky queen to the government steamer Dispatch , when the royal party wont down to Mount Voriion last week. Ap > parcntly dotermiiuul to leave all previous cllbrts at homi : ! > o far in the shade , the speech of the lieutenant was an example of extreme obeisance wholly now h American experience , but he reached the climax of ridiculous adulation when he said that "the secretary is always glad te render any service to a beautiful woman and is doubly pleased to-day in the facl that that beautiful woman is your gra > cious majesty , " etc. The address caused some indignation and a good deal o amusement , and although the lioutouan maintains that ho was in earnest there are a good many people who believe lie was guying Mrs. Kalakaua. She had tin scnso to take it in good part , though i must have increased her wonder at tlili remarkable people. THE return of the warm season and tin efficacy of electrical treatment haves far subdued Mr. Randall's gout that tin troublesome democratic statesman is about again. While nursing his ailmoni Mr. Handall has not been indilloront tc the course of events , and from a quotee utterance it is evident that ho intends tc bo found sailing bravely with the swell in democratic tide for Cleveland. Hi Is reported assaying that ho takes n < stock in the talk about discontent in the party with the president , and knows o no ono who will contest the nominatlor if the president deserves it. It would b < an act of generous reciprocity on th president's part to now disabuse the pul Ho mind of the impression that has ob tallied that the discontent in the part : " regarding Mr. Randall is shared by th" administration. THE now departure of the signal bu rcau , in furnishing a weekly special but lotln giving information relative to tlu climatic condition in the agrlcultura districts of the country , willundoubtedl , prove sofviceablo in supplying accurati knowledge as to the favorable or unia Torablo conditions for thn growing cropi Misleading information .in' ' this matter i every year made use of by speculators to influence the price of grain , but witli this weekly bulletin to guide them neither the growers nor the legitimate buyers of grain will % 'clubjcct to b dfi- coivcd by the lie till ft * sfitciuonls of the grain gamblers , put.twrti to bull or boar the market , according ta circumstances.

FAULKNKitlVKb was a few days ago elected to the United States senate by the legislature of West Virginia , has been receiving in the newspapers a good deal of reputation on the record of hi.s father , the late Charles James Faulk ner , who was a distinguished man in Vir ginia and national politics. This cvas be cause the judge has not yet made a public record entitling him to a place in the books , and Illustrates the extent to which the "esteemed contemporaries" of the country arc dependent upon this source of information. The judge , however - over , appears not to require borrowed reputation to commend him. Hohr.s made a strong rccorel as a jurist , and if his election is valid , which is questioned , he will doubtless acquit himself creditably in the senate. His chief fault seems to bo that ho enjoys to too large a degree the friendship of the corporations , mine owners and manufacturers of the state. IK the sentence of death passed by 'the court uiatial on the four Mexican officers engaged in the Nogalcs affair shall bo carried out , it must certainly bo accepted as evidence of the determination of the Mexican government to maintain discip line and order on the frontier. 13ut while the Invasion of American territory nd threatening the life of a sheriff was .mquestionably a serious outrage , it docs lot seem to be so grave as to warrant the 3.\treme sentence of the court martial. At all events the American government ml people will not regard the shooting f the implicated soldiers as necessary to , full reparation. A GOOD deal of solicitude prevails in he departments at Washington , duo to ho civil service rules which are having heir first trial in the war department. These rules require not only competitive examinations for promotion , but that all clerks shall bo subjected to examinations or the purpose of ascertaining their qualifications to retain the positions they occupy. It is inevitable that the rigid enforcement of these rules will result in relegating a numbek of clerks to posi tions below these tney now hold , while many others will be forced to retire from the service. Hence * thert Is a large body of these public servants' who arc very anxious. J > \ FUOM the fact that the final statement of the accounts of the Indian Colonial exhibition held in London last year shows that there was a profit of 170,175 , not withstanding the vast stun of money ex pended in pathering"artrcles for the won derful exhibition , it has caused many east ern papers to urge similar''exhibitions in their respective cities" There Is no doubt but that a largd trade wtiuld be drawn tea a city maintaining an exhibition of arti cles worth seeing , which otherwise would remain in other places. An annual western exhibition , throe months in the year , during September , October and November , if made attractive , would draw largo crowds , oven in Omaha. AT this writing it would appear that General Greeloy as a prophet will soon be entirely without honor. Ho has promised Nebraska rains twice within a week , and fails to furnish them.

As 1 wandered through the group of art cabinets that formed the ofiictts of a great monthly magazine up town- found a corps of clerks apd workers of all sorts equally made up of men ana women. In short , every where in the busi ness districts were and are young women. Counting rooms wear the : iirs of parlors , and oflices possess the atmosphere of drawing rooms. Scarcely any ono has had moro prac tical experience with the now order of women than Miss Mary F. Seymour , the head of the Union Monographic and Typewriting association of New York. She says that whou she began work , women were so few in her business that she was obliged to employ men to assist her. As this was not in accord with her idea that women should help each other and could bo titled for tha work she was doing , she commended to teach young ladies to become her assistants , and this started the now well known school of which she is the head. She found that parents were timid at first about allowing their daughters to associate in business with men. It was impossible to arguu upon her deep-rooted position that the most danger to a girl is in herself , and that those who arc honest and dignified and pure will not bo harmed by cpntact with the world if reasonable discretion in the choice of work and positions is shown. Miss Sey mour thinks that manhood is improved and fpolished and made gentle when tiic daily business Hfo is spent in the presence of ono or moro modest young women , and she makes the very strong point that the present femi nine helpers of men in business are ant to bo a superior class of girls. As to the cll'ect of the now life upon the girls them selves , she lias made some very interest ing observations. She says that the girls who are earning their own living are the most interesting women she knows ; the most sensible and elevated in their speech , the least frivolous and empty- headed , the best informed and the most practical women of the timo. By living and working with men young women grow accustomed to them , lose their sen timental and romantic notions of the other sex , and gradually begin to judge men on their merits , apart from ono another. The girl of the old time regime saw only men with parlor manners , and every one knows that silly and weaK fel lows often outshine good and shrewd ones in .society , lint in business these women see men as they are , in their nat ural every day aspects , and they rate them according to the best of their power to judge character. It is Miss Seymour's experience that the young ladies in busi ness quarry in the same proportion as girls in the homos in the city , and she thinks they are apt to marry bettor. lint what is the uilbct on the man Is the natural thought. In what way is woman affected ? What does the husband get on his side ? In what respect are wives im proved ? As to this , Miss Seymour says that the advantage to the husband is very great. It is very true thatgirlsin business liava not learned to Lake or sew , though the chance is she knew moro or less about both before going to business , but she has bccorno systematic , business like and orderly. Her mental training has bettor fitted her for managing a house well than if she could cook and bake , and yet have no idea of system. Hotter yist , slid has had her attention turned to affairs , has heard public matters discussed and grown intrro.stnd in them ; knows what to road and learns to like to improve her mind , and to take part in the .serious mascu line conversation around her. Another very interesting talk on the subject was had with Mr. Jcromo It. Wheeler , one of the firm of R. II. Macy & ( Jo. , the largest employers of women in this city. Ho has given the consequences quences of the feminine revolution much thought and by the way , tlicso large shopping stores like his , Imvo felt the revolution very deeply. In the largest of these stores in Brooklyn ami Now York it had alwaya been the rule for the women to wait on tiio counter , and the men to do the more responsible work of managing an'd buying. In Macy's oven the cashier is a woman ; tha supunnum- dent in charge of all the employes , 12,000 to ! IOOU in all , is a woman. Some reader may toss his head and say that is because women can bo got cheaper than men. 1 suspect that is so , but alter all that is a trillo in viewing the subject a trillo like a speck of duit in the lenso of an opera ghiis through which wo view a drama. Tint women's wages are not so bad. Typewriters and stenographers earn from iflO to | 3.1 a wcokj the wajrcs of the girls and women in the shopping stores range from iffl to $1 ? . The bluest wo man' * tailor in this city and London nays the young woman who designs drapery and braiding for his lady customer * $50 a week. Hut to return to Mr. Wheeler : Ho says that the women who work for him marry in the same proportion as the women of tliu same classes who remain at homo , lint his tfirK marry butter. That is his oxpericneo and their belief. He says that the training and dUviplino the women get in a great sioro better lit them for the management of a home than homo train ing ; it makes them oolf-roliant , practi cal , broad-minded , Hteady , sober. It rids them of the adult infantility of the putted daughter ut homo , of the frivolity unit holple.ssne&s and of that abnormal senti mentality that loaves so many girls a prey to the vicious : llo .says ho feels very certain that the moral touo ot women U raised and trcugthcned bj business experience , In eight years , among the many thousands oflils fomaln employes , he has not known of a single case of the ruin of a work girl by n man In the employ of the concern. Ono young woman went astray , and her parents suspected that some associate in the store must have been her botr.ivrr. Mr. Wheeler investigated the caso. The girl had disappeared. All the men la the store were detailed.to sc.irch the city , which was mapped out for the wonc. The girl was found and brought to Mr. Wheeler , to whom she confessed that her ruin was duo to a distant relative of her mother. In some establishments the serious mistake is made of curtaining or partitioning the women apart from the men , This surrounds the women with privacy and mystery , and is not good for them or the men. Tha main benefits ascribed to this juxtaposition of the SCXCH are lost in this way. Hut all this will wear away and vanish , just as the largo modicum of business men would not have a woman in their ofliccs lire years ago appears to have gene from the ken of advancing femininity , root , stock and branch. THK EDDCATlONAb 1'URSE ? Opened to the Extent of $1011OOO for Mix Now 8ohool . The board of education held a special mooting Monday evening to canvass the vote cast at the last election upon the pro position of expending $169,000 for now school nitos and buildings during the year. There was a full uttcndanco. The canvass showed that 2,701 votes had been cast for the proposition and only 81 against it. The chairman of the board therefore declared that the proposition had been carried. The sites and buildings which H is pro posed to purchase and erect with this money are as follows : On the High Schoolgrounds'to cost $ .15 , 001) ; on Twenty-eighth and Webster streets to cost $2fi,000 ; ono site to bo cho sen and building to bo erected thereon near I/srd school at an estimated cost of $ : ) 3,000 ; a site and building at or near Train town at an estimated cost of $37,000 ; a building to bo erected at or near Nintoonth and Lake streets at nn estimated cost of $20,000 ; a building to bo erected at or near Omaha View at an estimated cost of $18,000. Superintendent James was given au thority to engage twelve new teachers for the next hchool year , conditioned upon their passing the required examina tion. tion.A A motion made that the board Issue n proclamation .submitting the question of voting bonds in the sum of $200,000 at the Juno election , Mr. Davis raised the question ns to the authority ot the board to issue such a proclamation , and it was referred to the judiciary committee with authority to pay for legal counsel. The committee on claims reported favorably on the claims for work oil the Georgia avenue school building. Mr. Davis moved to amend the report by deducting $10 per day from the bill for each day since November 1,1880 , when the building.according to contract , should have been completed ! Mr. Clark said the board failed to have the ground ready tor the contractor to begin the work at the time originally agreed on. Mr. Coburn thought this fact might prevent the imuosition of the penalty. The report as amended was dually adopted , and the board adjourned.
