Fnctlonlsm Ttnmpnnt ,
It has been the mislortuno ot tlio re
publican party of Nebraska during lha
past ten years to bo torn up by factional
fouda. With an assured majority ol
from twenty to thirty thousand for the
national ticket Nebraska republicans
hare within that period witnessed BOV-
eral revulsions that have brought dis
aster Upon their state , congrcFsionn !
and judicial tickets. Far this periodic
turmoil and disaster the republican
loaders who are enlisted In the service
of the railroads are chiolly , if not
Wliolly , responsible. . With the tre
mendous power and corporate influence
at their command they have lime and
Again forced disreputable 'and dis
honest candidates upon the party , and
compelled solf-respectlng republicans
to repudiate the action ot packed con
ventions at the polls.
This is why this congressional dis
trict , with its six thousand republican
majority , elected adomocratto congress
by over seven thousand majority six
teen months ngo. This is why the Third
judicial district , with nearly three
thousand republican majority , repudi
ated the republican judicial ticket ol
last fall and gave the opposition candi
dates from two to four thousand ma-
jorlty.
With such forcible rebukes fresh ir
their minds wo had reason to cxpccl
that the men who liavo led the party ic
the brink of wreck and ruin would have
common scnso enough to hoed th'o les
sons of 'the past and give the partj
a breathing spell.
The opportunity for closing its rank !
and reconciling the factions presentee
itself with the oltort to reorganize the
party and make it efficient in the conv
ing campaign through local rcpublicar
clubs. Had the promoters of the clul
movement labored for party unity ant
concord , they would have received oui
hearty support in the futuroas thcj
have hud it from the outset.
The convention and banquet have demonstrated
monstratod that the monopolistic ane
bummer factions have again ralllet
under the * party flap with the undis
guised purpose to keep the state under
the domination of the railroads ant
jobbers. Of all the republicans in Nebraska
braska the most offensively active rail
road politician is the silvor-tonguet
general attorney of the Unior
P.aciflc railroad. When the ropublicat
club league placed John M. Thurstoi
lit its head it deliberately defied publli
sentiment-among the rank and file o
the party. When Brad Slaughter wai
elected secretary it simply added insul
to injury. The selection of orators foi
the banquet was in full keeping wltl
the performance at the exposition build
ing. The Honorable Charley Greene
the Honorable Mr. Brockenridgo , tin
Highly Honorable Dave Mercer , and tin
Right Reverend Burchard Tate wort
singled out as representative repUbli
cans , while Governor Thayer , Genera
VauWyck , General Cowan , W. J. Con
ncll and other prominent republican
were snubbed and ignored. The enl
representative of loyal Iowa republi
canism , placed on Toast Master Thurs
ton's list , was ox-Congressman Hepburn
a Burlington railroad attorney , when
the republicans of his district had vopu
diated at the election in 18SC.
What shall republicans who earnestl ;
hoped to see th'o party close its rank
by dropping all factionism , di
in the face of such a performance ? Ho\
can the party appeal for undivided sup
port as long as its ablest loaders are ig
norcd and insultedand brazen-throatoi
mercenaries and brass-collared nobody ,
are dubbed as honorables and feted a
banquets as the party's most couspicU
ous representatives ? Is it not manifcs
that the league of clubs engineered ty
Charley Green's lieutenant , Brcckcn
ridge , and commanded by John M
Thurston , is mainly designed for corpo
rate political HBO and incidentally to be
come the lover for operating the part ;
machinery in the interest of the railwa ;

Reciprocal Kxcluslon.
The now Chinese treaty , having bcei
signed by the secretary of state and tin
Chinese minister , is now in the hand
of the president. No doubt is enter
tained that it will receive the oxocutivi
approval , and it is expected that it wil
bo promptly ratified by the senate
Although in one or two respects no
quite so restrictive as the people of tin
pacific coast would like , it is understooi
that the I'oproBontutUosaro prepared ti
accept it as the best that can bo accom
plished at present.
The treaty provides for the comploti
exclusion of Chinese laborers from tin
United States for twenty years , and re
oiprocnlly prohibits laborers froii
the United States from enter
ing China. There is at prcson
in this country an agent of th
Chinese government to employ locomotive
tivo engineers and firemen to work 01
the now railroads which have been o
are being constructed in the empire
but probably this class of workers wouli
not bo included under the head o
laborers. If it is contemplated fcimpl ;
to exclude from China unskilled labo
from the United States it'is obvious Urn
the reciprocal exclusion is very largol ;
one-sided. An important provision re
lutes to the return of Chinese to tbi
country , who , having resided hero , ma ;
visit their native land. At present i
simple certificate that they hnvo re
sided in the United States is sufficient
and oven without this a largo numbo
have been from time to time allowed t
land "by the aid of the federa
court in California , thus virtually nul
lifying the present treaty. The no\
treaty requires that any Chinese resi
dent of the United Slates who return
to his native country and desires ti
corao back hero can do to only by prov
ing that ho has a family in this country
or owns prpporty hero of the value o
ono thousand dollars. Very few o
these people would got back under thi
condition , but its existence would doubt
lefas operate to keep them hero.
If there wore not strong political con
sldorntions forbidding opposition to thii
treaty the fact that it 1ms boon sough
by the Chinese government , as a mean
of avoiding friction , would do fao. Thii
circumstance , also , will deprive the ud
ministration of the rights to claim credi
for having projected , the , couvcn
lion , The truth is , the Chinese government
ornmont has "boon omlnonUy fair , roas
enable , and 6 con generous in dealing
with this whole question , and is letting
this government off easily in accepting
an Indemnity of $275,000 for riolonco ti
which tno Chinese hero have boon sub
jootodi If the treaty will remove tin
Chinese question from public discussion
and take it out ol the category of Issue
affecting the political standing ot publii
men with the people of the Pacific coast
it will unquestionably receive the ap
pi-oval of the whole country.
How to Advertise Omnhn.
There is a great deal of bun comb
about Omaha not being well advortincd
Omaha is ono of the best advortlset
cities in the world. She is more wldol ;
known on the other side of the Atlnntt
than either Kansas City , Mlnnoapoli
or St. Paul. In this country Omaha' ;
growth and resources have been con
slanlly kept before the public by thi
press , the clcnrlng-houso returns , am
the products of our packing houses am
smelting works. What Omaha need
to advertise her abroad is concert o
action and stimulated enterprise ) a
hom6. Wo want to do moro and blov
less. Stop railroad projects on paper
Stop blowing bubbles and building all
castles , and let the city bo aetvortisot
by what it actually does. Stop tin
everlasting and disgraceful squabble
in the council and board of education
and advertise Omnhn through subatan
tial improvements honestly constructed
Stop advertising wild cat booms am
sot to work to establish confidence am
permanent prosperity by making a loii |
puli , a strong pull and a pull altogcthc
to establish factories , mills and Indus
trial concerns which give steady em

Omaha by making it a metropolis , ani

THK council has talked about rovisin ;
the building ordinance for ftioro tha
six months , but it is all talk. The prot
ent ordinance is very fynporfcct aiv
needs amending in many essential par
tlculars. The primary object of buildin
inspection has been lost sight of in th
effort to raise revenue. The fees oxacto
for building permits'aro an embargo o
building enterprise and an incentive t
misrepresentation. Instead of affording
a reliable exhibit of the valu
and extent of the cities' building im
provements the official record is a mor
sham. The building regulations are s
strict in some particulars as to almos
compel violations which make the rule
a dead letter. Now , why can't th
council revise these regulations at th
opening of the building season insten
of dragging along from month to montl :
Other JjjiiKls Than Ours.
The remains ot the late Emporo
William have been deposited in thoi
last resting place. The Gorman peopl
have most fully attested their affectio
for the dead sovereign and their loyalt
to his house. To-day the now ompero
will take the imperial oaths , fully a ;
sured that ho has with him the conti
deuce , the sympathy , and the hopes c
the nation. Thus far all that ho hn
said has justified the .opinion of th
world that ho would make a wise , conservative
sorvativo ruler. His proclamation t
his people , and his letter to Prince Bis
marck , give evidence that ho was nc
only in full accord with the desir
of his father to maintain b
every honorable means the peace c
Europe , but that far moro than the lat
emperor ho is in sympathy with modor
ideas respecting the duties and oblige
tions of government. The world hu
read with cordial commendation thes
productions of a mail coming to hig
estate amidst the heaviest individut
and family aflliction , and has found i
them no suggestion of reaction , bu
rather every assurance of progress i
the emperor should live to carry out
national policy. Especially notable i
his letter to Bismarck , in which , nfto
doing ample justice to that great states
man , ho preceods to inform him whs
are the standpoint's which will be guidin
principles of his government. Ho tell
the man who made his debut ns prim
minister of Prussia by flagrantly vie
lating the constitution aud who has re
pcutcdly defied the roichstng , that "th
constitutional rights of all the fedorn
governments must bo ns conscientiousl
respected as those' of the roichstagr.
lie will maintain the strength of th
army and al&o strengthen th.o navj
"for which important duties have arise
in the acquirement of trans-oceanic pos
sessions , " thus approving the policy e
colonial extension. Ho advocates re
ligious toleration , thus disapproving c
the anti-Semitic agitation led by a Boi
lin court preacher. Ho pronounces li
favor of economy in the government oi
ponsos and a simplification of the nil
minibtnvtivo machinery. Ho believe
that self-government should bo granto
or secured to the greater an
lessor communities , but emphasize
thnt such home rule ought not t
result in increasing the burdens of ta >
ation berne by the people. Ho wil
warmly support all efforts calculated t
ixnproYo the economical prosperity e
the different classes of society without
howaver , raising the false oxpoctatio
that ho thinks it possible to euro nl
social ills by state interference thu
questioning the wisdom of Bismarck'
labor legislation. The most importaii
plank in the iinporiul platform is til
reference mode to the dangers create
by partial education \\hlch awakes dc
in mi ds that the economical power of th
nation cannot witisfy , A sounder am
moro moral education ho considers nee
ossary to overcome the dangers t
which a tiino. of rapid economic changi
subjects the entire community.

Interest in the future course of Rttssli
has been intensified since the death o
the Gorman emperor , and every move
mcntof the Russian govornmentisglvoi
great significance. Having induced tin
porto to protest against the olectjon o
Prince Ferdinand is regarded as fore
shadowing the full reopening of tin
eastern question , and thoannouncomon
that the steamers of the Black Soi
steamship company are to bo fitted ou
for war purposes is held to bo most oml
nous of Impending trouble. Unlos
the czar , it is argued , is proparin )
for active hostilities , it is han
to find an explanation fof thi
stop. Odessa holds the first rank ii
commercial importance among the citio
on the Black sea. It has a very larg
export trade , especially in grain am
tallow , but it also ships wool , iron , hides
copper and many other slaplo products
The city has a population of somo200OOC
and is one of the most flourishing town
of Russia , its prosperity depending vor ,
largely on Its tra/fio by sea routes
Surely the Russian government woul
not cut off an important part of thi
traffic unless grave reasons existed fo
so doing , and no reason is apparon
except the probability of Imraodlat
war. But who can toll whore the blo\
will fall ? Wore active hostilities to b
commenced against Austria , i
would seem hardly necessary to prc
vide an armed fleet for th
Black sea , for < i jtho struggle woul
bo confined to 1119 armies of the tw
nations. If , howeVer , the czar has dc
signs on Turkey/a fleet in the Blacl
sea would be absolutely essential to hi
prospects of success. At the same tim
this nrmincr of the merchant steamer
may bo only a foiftt to distract attonlio
from the real point of intended attack
Really all that ban bo said is , that th
movement has a vjpry warlike look , an
if nations can lie judged like indiviel
uals , it would be "safo to predict wai
and that very soon.- Strategy , though
cuts an importantflgure in the opera
tions of nations , which cannot bo judge
by the rules which ara applied to th <
conduct of individuals ; but in this case
if Russia does not mean war , every on
who has watched her course for som
time will be greatly mistaken.
*
* *
Russia is well supplied with candi
dates for the throne of Bulgaria , an
every little while brings forward anei
ono. Her present choice for the plac
which poor Prince Ferdinand is so lot !
to quit is said to bo Prince Nicholas
duke of Louchtenberg. At one time th
czar's candidate was understood to b
the prince of Oldonberg. At another i
was Prince Nikita , of Montenegro , or , i
that were impossible , then Pete
Karageorgevics. The nomination c
the prince of Mingrolia was u very pr
nounccd and formal ono , and was in
stantly disposed of. One of the mor
recent candidates was said t
bo the Voivodo JMarka Mil
anoff of Kucsi , a prominent Montenegrin
grin officer , who would also bo out c
the question. Tlio one por5on that RUE
sia docs ) not want is whoever Bulgarl
may name , be it Prince Alexander c
Battonbcrg , Prince Waldomar of Denmark
mark , or Prince Ferdinand of Saxc
Coburg-Gotna. It should be feaid , however
over , that the Dulee of Lcuchtenborj
has once before been suggested as tin
Russian candidate , as also was hi
brother , Prince George. The family i
of the Greek religion and resides at St
Petersburg. Prince Nicholas is of tin
char's staff , and. altogether is a candi
date who would suit Russia oxtromel ,
well and Austria very little , if at all.

The existing" railroads have already
brought the Transvaal gold fields within
twenty-four days of London. There can
bo no doubt that before many years
South Africa will possess the counter
part of our Pacific railroads in the ex
tension of the Capo Colony and Natal
lines to the road now building from Del-

the gold belt and connecting two seas ,
are not the only railroad projects thai

PcntnniiHlilp mid Drawing.
At all the city schools yesterday there were

At most of tlio schools the usual exercise ;

the exception of thnt of tlio principal where
the children were dismissed at the noon liout
for tlio rest of the day. This exception wa
made for the reason that the work of the little

order to give the visitors an opiwrtunlty to
examine tlio work thoroughly.
All day long the parents , the sisters aucl
the cousins and the annta of the young idcn
thronged in nnd out of the school house and
from the expression of the countenance II
was not difficult to realize the gratification
each felt at the progress of the children in
whom they were most interested.
In nearly all of the schools every available
space on the walls of the principal's room
was utilized for the display of the children's
work. Hero the visitor was confronted wltl :
a vast array of Juvenile productions taste
fully and pleasingly arranged , and the tout

If coming events over cast their shadows before

labors of George Washington , of Longfellow ,
of "VVhitticr , and last , but by no means least
of the trials and the triumphs of Robinsor
Crusoe. The artist was well and bonor.iblj
represented by many productions of mort
than ordinary merit , many of whlcl
told plainer than could any words thnt tin
Httlo workers were in deep sympathy will
their labors. Several descriptions of 1m
aginary journeys from Omaha te
Europe , Asia and Afiica dem
onstratcd the progress the authors
had made in geography. The principles ol
mathematics were fully dealt with , as were
the rudiments of grammar. Each and all ol
these were demonstrated on paper , and at
once showed the acquaintance of the pupil
on the especial subject dealt'with , the power
of composition nnd expression of thought ,
and the progress in penmanship. The entire
display was creditable to the little men and
women , nnd to the teachers who have sc
zealously labored for their advancement.
At the Georpia avenue school the display
was particularly intei estlng. The teacher ;
had prepared for the day with earnest zeal
and there were many visitors during the day.
These were received by Miss Lillian A. Lit-
tlcfleld , tlio principal , who was kept busj
entertaining the guests.
At the Pleasant school there was ono of the
finest displays , and all the afternoon the
rooms were thronged with the parents of the
children nnd others interested in the work.
All were pleasantly received by the teachers ,
who took great pains in explaining the var
ious exhibits , which are to bo sent to the
meeting of the state teachers' nssociatlon at
Fremont. Ono of the particular features ol
intcicst was the work of the little ones in the
first grade under the instruction of Miss
Emma Fitch. The children in this depart
ment are only from five to six years old , but
their handiwork was marvelous for such wee
ones. Apples , tomatoes , cherries and other
fruits were modeled in clay by them and col
ored with n wonderful fidelity to nature.
There were also a number of other articles
reproduced in clay by them , nnd the speci
mens of writing on their slntcs showed con
siderable advancement in thnt art ,
both in foim and slant. fn
the next grade , taught by Mary Titch , now
surpi iscs awaited the visitors , tlio work in
this depaitinent being mainly design writing
on the slates. The work was excellent , and
was accorded the wnnnest prniso. In the
third grade , taught bv Miss JulU Nowcomb ,
the children had abandoned the uo of the
slate and adopted instead lead pencils , nnd
their work had n neat nnd finished
look. Their specimens of cut de
signs were very accurate , pretty
aud originnl. The children in the fourth
grade , taught by Miss Martha Parrott , had
laid aside the pencil and taken up tlio more
difficult utensil to wield propoily the pen.
Their work showed tlmt they had required
considerable skill in a short tiino , the shading
being accurate and neat. Their cut designs
nlso showed grc.it ingenuity. The pupils In
Miss Alice Hltto's rooms , grade five , range
fiom ten to thirteen years , and their work
will ho ono of the wondera of the teacher's
convention at Fremont. Their work in
original cut designs were magnificent. The
outlines woio graceful , the plans nrll&tic and
were filled in with a pleasing lini taony in
color that would dulfght nn nrtlst. Among
them were borne beautiful designs for wall
paper nnd borders. The work of all the
grades reHcct great credit upon the teachers
und is a source of congratulation to the
patents.

Acquitted of Perjury and Again Ar
rested Vor niRnmy ,
Joseph Sclmibenno , who was arrested nt
the instigation of his father-in-law first for
higjuiy and then for perjury , had his trial
yesterday afternoon on the Inttcr charge.
After n thorough Investigation ho was ex
onerated and , tlio cose dismissed , as ho sup
posed when ho swore his bride's ago was
eighteen that it was actually true , ho having
her word for It. She corroborated his state
ments. The fnther-in-lnw was very much
disgusted with his failure to sustain this
chargu against Schnrbcanq , nnd declares he
will get even with him yet. flo therefore
tiled infdiination against him on the old
charge of bigamy , and the aon-in-law was
thrust back Into his cell to await tiial this
morning , Ho takes the matter very good
naturally , however , claiming that his trial
will icsult in another dismissal.
