The supreme court yesterday passed
ftpoti llio question : it isiito between thu
auditor and the board of public lands
nnd buildings regarding the continuance
of work on the salt well. The question
raised by the auditor was as to his right
to continue to issue warrants for the
work after the expiration of the quarter
ending May ill , and a statement of facts
in the case were Mibmitted by the attor
ney general. Upon consideration the
court holds that the auditor , under thu
law , can issue warrants until the expira
tion of Scptombor nml that the fund id
available until that time. This decision
will allow the board to continue the well
another 1,000 foot and furnish informa
tion as to what underlies this section of
the Btato to the depth of 8,000 , feet. When
it is considered that the results attained
by sinking the well 2,000 feet arc prac
tically valueless the continuation of the
work will , if nothing should bo devel
oped , settle the question of experiments
for minerals or other products to a depth
within roach of reasonable working.

SUrilltlNTENUENT LANE'S OPINION.
A short time since , the stnto stipnrin-
cndont received n communication from
the hold over members of the board of
education In Omaha regarding whether
hey would bo member * of tlio board
iinuor the now charter. To this Mr.
! . , ane furnishes the following reply , which
t is understood is of n like opinion with
the members of the supreme court now
'n session :
OFFICE OF STATE Sui'EKiNTJ'.Nnr.NT )
OF I'UIILIO INSTIIUCTION. >
.LINCOLN , Neb. , May , ISisT. )
Gentlemen : 1 nm In receipt of yours of
the IDtli of May , lbt > n , requesting an olhclnl
leclsion of the question whether the six
jiiembers of the board ot education ot thunlty
of Omaha elected when said city was : i city
of the first class whose teiins have not yet
expired , will Decomo members oC the board
of education tor the school district of tlio
city of Omaha to he organized under the law
governing school districts in cities of the
metropolitan class.
The act of the legislature was made neces
sary because of the cro.ition ot a now class of
cities. The school law piovided In ireneral
for schools In cities of the second and lirst
class , but not for schools In the newly-
created class of cities. The unceitalnty 10-
gardlne the act nilsestrom Inconsistent pie
visions relating to the number of members
'in the board provided for by the act , and the
number to bo elected at the annual elections
: H Ibs7 aud 1S-4S. The net says the board
shall consist ot lifteen members , but only
ptovldes for the election of nine In lt$37 nnd
live In 1888.
The decision of the question will Involve
nn Intelprutatlon of this statute. In arriving
nt a decision 1 think It fair to consider tlio
object to bo attained by the legislature , thu
existing system ot school organi/atlon. nnd
the relation the old school district hold to
the one newly created.
The act relative to cities of the first class
provides for a board or nine members , three
of whom are elected each year tor a term of
three years , and until their successors nro
elected nnd qualified.
Under the law of 1SS7 , the board Is to
consist of fifteen members , nine of whom
shall be elected on the first Monday in Juno ,
1887 ; five of whom to serve three years ; two
tor two years and two for onn year.
It further provides that at thu annual elec
tion in June. 1888. there shall bo chosen live
members to serve for three years , and In June ,
18b9 , there shall bo elected live members to
serve for three years , nnd annually thereafter
there shall be elected tire members to serve
for three years.
It will thus bo seen that the act provides for
& board of fifteen members , and tor the elec
tion of but nine thereof until the year 18S8 ,
at which time two of the nine go out nnd live
new members come into office. In the year
1&9 , two more go out and tire new members
como In.
It will also bo observed that under tbe law
relating to cities of the first class , three mem
bers ot the board retire In 1SS7. three In 1888 ,
and throe In ISaO. This coincidence of ex
piration of term of old members , and this
singular time of election of new members
can be explained only by icasonablo conject
ure that the legislature had In mind both the
old and new boards of education.
As was said in the case of the state vs
Woatherby , 17 Nebraska , 554 : The powers of
the board of education under the new act
may be somewhat greater than tbe powers of
the old ; but the school district of the city of
Omaha substantially remains the same the
corporation itself has not terminated or un
dergone much material chance the main
difference being a change in the manner of
transacting Its buMness and In the method of
government. The board of education , under
the act of 1887 , necessarily continues the
schools of tbe board created under the act of
cities of thu first class.
At the time of the passage of the ret Incor
porating metropolitan cities the oftlcinl
census of thu state showed that there was
but one city In the state coming under the
provisions of that act , viz. , the city of
Omaha , which cltr was nt the tlni said act
was passed a city of the lirst class. It is lair
to assume the legislature was cognizant ol
these facts. The/ would also be cognizant
of the fact that the school district of said city
was represented by a board of education con
sisting of nine members , six of whom wore
elected for terms not jet expired.
Thu lattter named actauthoiUed the city
council to extend thu limits of the city , but
did not require them to extend the limits be
yond the limits of the old city. In vlow ol
the fact that nn extension of the city bounda
ries was not made necessary , it cannot be
claimed that the legislature know that tin
now territory would be embraced In the
school district before the annual election ol
1S87. They did know , however , that the territory
ritory of the old district would become the
territory of thu now district. In the ordinary
course of things the now district Is to be tin
successor ot the old. The new district is tc
have a board of fifteen members , nine are to be
elected In 1SS7 with varying terms of ollice
The six members ot the old board wore
elected for terms which would expire slmul
tancously with tbe six whose election wn ;
not provided for. ThU condition of attain
was In the minds ot the legislature and was
part of the subject-matter upon which the ]
wcro legislating. It cannot be claimed tha
the legislature had no official knowledge o
those lact * , for the reason that they all mus
have existed under the general school law :
and could be determined br the pnblli
records of the * tate , and U Is not i
matter of conjecture that they wen
legislating with regard thereto. It wottU
bo an absurd conclusion to ay tba
the legislature , after providing for a board o
fifteen members , Intended there should nebo
bo fifteen for two years to come. The ac
provides that the board shall organize li
July , 1887. No possible construction of tbi
act can load to the conclusion that the si :
members whose election Is not spectued at
to be chosen by election at any time , for thi
act expressly limits the number to be chosei
at every election provided for therein. No
will it do to say the other six members ma ;
be appointed to ail vacancies ; because tliet
can be no vacancy until somothlnr has beei
vacated br act ot the members themselves
My decision therefore. Is thit the six mem
bers whose choice Is not otherwise provide
for , but whose office Is created , are the su
members of the old board whose terms ban
not expired by limitation. All of the statute
referred to are ID parl tniterla , and aust b
taken and construed tof ether a * one fyaten
nnd explanatory of each other. They all
form n united system , harmonious nud con
sistent , adapted to tbe irrowth and develop
ment of cities of one class Into those of nn-
otlicr. In my opinion thcrocan bu no doubt
nstotho Intention of the legislature ; and
this Intention Is discovered without ImportIng -
Ing Into the statute any words not in the
text and without nssumlnic thu existence of
any facts or condition of things not shown
by the public records of thu state. It Is In
accord with thu language of the statute , do-
duclblo from and In no wUo Inconsistent
with it.

Jay Gould anil ox-Governor Pultlson
made an ititcn-sting picture when they
stood up to shake hands at the ollico of
tliu Pacific railroad commission , says the
Now York Sun. Mr. Gould's head was
about on a luvol with the. ex-governor's
middle vest button. Governor Pattisou
sat down , and , loaning his head on one
baud , listened with close attention to a'l '
that the railway magnate said. Mr.
Gould talked in a iruntle , uuassuminj *
way of how ho had bought and sold and
built railroads , showing his familiarity
with every detail. Ho never was at a loss
for an answer never stammered as if
fearing that he would make a wrong
answer. For a Pacific railroad man ho
had forgotten comparatively little. Ho
, was dressed in a plain dark cutaway suit ,
and his solid-looking boots wore well
polished. Hu sat almost from the begin
ning to the oud of his testimony with ono
leg thrown over the other. Ho showed
no more interest in ono question put to
him than another , but ho never failed to
grasp one of them as soon as It was put.
If a paper was handed him he coolly
slipped on his gold-bowed spectacles and
read it from beginning to end , took oil
his spectacles , and then answered. When
his testirnonv was finished ho walked up
Wall street nnd Broadway to his otllco
with Judge Dillon.

nro apt to have Ions tapering lingers and
leantiful tinner nails.
The good-natured critics nro said to
possess small , well shaped nails , and
.heir handwriting is somewhat angular.
The American nail sutlers iroru the
Iryness of our elimato , as a foreign pict-
irc uaintcd on panel sutlers from the
same cause , f
Diplomacy has a long , supple hand and
i beautifully kept linirur nail. Tlio hand
writing of a diplomat looks like a snake
crawling away.
An aptitude for criticism is shown
among people who bite their nails.
These people are cynical nnd severe- , un
charitable nnd bitter ; they write a small ,
cramped , illegible hand.
The Chinese have linker nails so long
: hat they coulil write with them. The
tenacity of the Chinese nail , which docs
not easily break , would indicate that they
invo more lime in their bones than we
have.
Tlio English nails are almost univer
sally rosy aud shell-like , and cut to a
rounded , slightly tapering point , kept
always scrupulously clean. The skin at
tlio base is pushed buclc to show the
onyx , a little half moon.
The onyx of the linger nails Is care-
fullv cultivated by the Creoles of New
Drleans to show that they have no black
lilood in their veins. No matter how fair
the complexion , the valuable sign of
pure blood is wanting to the octoroon if
the onyx is clouded.
Where Their Merit JLtes.
When anything stands a test of fifty
years among a'.discriminating oeoplt1 like
the Americans it is pretty good evidence
that there is merit somewhere. Such a
test UKANDUETH'S ' PILLS have stood , and
thousands of unsolicited testimonials
every year prove their merit. The Pills
are purely vegetable and are the result
of the highest medical nnd chemical skill.
They have never been known to fail in
their work ; they have never caused any
one the slightest inconvenience , no mat
ter when taken , and there is little doubt
that they have really saved thousands of
lives. The best evidence ol their value
lies in their increasing salo. UUAND-
KKTII'S PILLS have truly become n house
hold necessity.
Advice to a Younc Man.
Burdotto : My son , you must overcome
a difficulty ns you would split a gnarled
pieca of wood ; strike square at the knot.
It looks to bo the harder way to get ai it ,
but it is the easier and shorter way. It
will take you all day to split a tough
old gnarl of hickory by chipping around
the knot , nnd then alter you have wasted
the day and wrenched the ax-handle and
sprained your wrist and have twisted and
turned and pounded and chipped away
all the rest of the chunk , there will the
knot be still , hard and sound and touch
as ever It was , and ever so much harder
to handle , because you have no way of
getting at it. You will never split it now.
It will tnko you a lifetime to overcome a
bad habit if you go at it by degrees and
just try to chip away the easy edgei of it.
The chilly water in the ford will not
grow the warmer because you stand on
tlio bank and shiver , unless you are
going to stand there until next summer ,
and by that time you won't care to cross.
You'll never bo an early riser if you roll
over for jupt one more catnap after the
alarm calls you , You'Jfnover quit lying
by "pruning" vour extravagance of
speech. And I don't know , hut I am
pretty certain that you won't quit drink
ing by shutting oil' one dnnk every
week. You arc so apt IPlose your count ,
don't you see ? In fact.tJie only way to
do anything is to do it , ' and 'you never
know a roan who accomplished a thing
by not doing it. There is only one thing ,
my boy , that a man can1 successfully ac
complish by geuorull > ; e > vasivoness and
lazy neglect. lie can go' to the devil ; ho
can do this witli greater case nnd lesa
exertion than ho can do Anything else in
the world , and he can do it a-whooping ,
too. If that is all yod want to do you
might lie down anil go Ito sloop again ;
you'll "get there , Eli1

The Waste of the British Empire.
Pall Mall Gazette : Mast month 41.B1G
of the bone and sinew of the British sub
jects left the United Kingdom , of whom
33,833 went to the United States , and will
bo lost to the empire. British North
America got 6.903 ; Australasia , 2,333 ;
and all other places 6U1 persons. Ot all
these people England supplied 19,412
Scotland , 4,833 , and Ireland which has
not oow 30 per cent more population
than Ucotland-18,086. In April , 1830 ,
the total number of British born cmi
grants was 39,039. There must therefore
be some powerful cause at work to make
an increase of 50 per cent between April
emigrants of 1880 and 1887 ,
For the tour months ending the SOU
of April , 86,358 subject * eiulflrrtxtod ai
compared with 60,323 In 1 ! 9. Addlnj
the foreigners who pwsod through 01
their way abroad , 118.348 sailed this ycai
as against 83,757 last' year , a hopeful
sign for the shareholders In the great
American steam lines , ns 103,000 took
that mode of conveyance. While states
men nnd doctors nro lamenting
the gradual loss of physical power
tunong our people , ns shown by the
necessity of reducing the height
of nrniy recruits to live feet three inches
from live feet eight inches , which it was
when the queen came to tlio throne , the
Kast Knd of London Is being inundated
by foreign paupers , mostly Germans or
Hu sinii8 nnd Polish Jews , filling up with
human rubbish the tale of thu population
which is being decreased by the loss of
thu best and purest of our agricultural
laborers and our country nrtis.ius.
As n proof of the extent to which this
has already gone the City Press states
that from the the result of n careful nnd
analysis of the reports published by the
Jewish board of guardians for the relief
of the poor , in Devonshire square , E. C. ,
joined to some other information on the
subject , it appears that every third Jew
in London was actually in receipt of poor
relief , every second Jinv belonged to the
pauper class , and every second Jewish
funeral which took place in the metro
politan area was a pauper funeral. These
were mostlv foreign born , who during
their lives liero were a burden upon the
rates nnd cut down the prices of labor.
