It is simply preposterous to expect that ono music lonelier in the high school and another for all Ihe lower grades can bo of any benefit to the individual pupil. We must either have a special music teacher for every class or employ no leachor in our public schools who is not qualified to teach singing. That would knock out fully eighty per cent of all our teachers. These are the hard fuels. If the board continues music as n branch of instruction it will bo simply because the two teachers warble sweetly to the committee on teachers and text-books. SKXATOU Coi.Qinrr , of Georgia , has received a rebuke which ho will bo likely to remember. It is generally known that he was commissioned to tender to Representative McICinloy , of Ohio , an invitation to attend the south ern Chnntnun.ua lo bo held ne.ir At lanta , and to make an address there on protection , Mr. Carlisle being invited to speak on tariff reform. Colqnitt conveyed the invitation to Carlisle but declined to invilo MeKinley , saying in explanation that he did not want any republican proteclionisl lo talk to his people. The narrowness and bigotry ot this declaration aroused the indigna tion of Senator Brown , of Georgia , and of lidltor Grady , of the Atlanta Constitution , who are " in terested In iho success o the Clmutauqua , and are also not in sympathy with Co'qultt's ' tarill views , and they determined that MclCinlny should attend and address the people i ho could be induced to accept after learning ol Colqltitt's conduct. Ac cordingly Senator Brown waited upon the Ohio representative , stated the cir cumslanccs , and thu Invitation was ac copied. The people of Georgia wil r Ihus liavo an opportunity lo h&ton to i I' " " "republican protectionist , and one o the ablest among them , and whAtcvet opinion they may form of his views they will at least bo convinced that ho Is n gobtloman worthy of the reaped o uny pcoplo.

The luelie-t of last spring vhereby the country precincts were llsfrnnchised through the snap judg- nent ( all which gave no chance forpnb- iuty mil-id < > of this city were olTcnsivo enough. Why attempt the suno tactierf io\\ ? What object could the commit tee have in netting the date of the irimarlcs twenty days before tlio stale con vunlion ? What object have they in fcf-lecting the delegates for the eongrcs- bional convention on the 1th of August when the convention does not lake place until the 120th of Sep tember ? Why did they not give the votord ample time to canvass the lending issues and discuss the candi- lales that are asking for their suffrages. On the face of it , the action of the 'dimly ' committee looks Hko a job pu it ) ) by factional schemer * who want to [ Kick the convention and repeat the dis graceful dummy-farce of last spring , when ( . 'hurley CJrceno was given leave to make up a delegation for himself after the convention had adjourned , and carried his dummies to Ashland hnnd-culTed , lagged and gagged , to bo bartered and traded away to the best bidder. What may wo expect if the same high-handed and unropublican job is rt. pealed ? Are the republicans of the metropolis of Nebraska likely to submit to such palpable prostitution of the party machinery without resentment and vigorous protest ? And if their pro- teals remain unheeded , are they not certain to express their dissent through the bollot box next fall in a manner which must bo disastrous to local candi dates and may oven jeopardize the con gressional ticket. Its Fati ; In the Senate. When the Mills bill goes to the senate it will be at once referred to the llnanco committee. The impression is that the committee will pigeon-hole it. pending the ollort to construct a substitute which a sub-committee of republicans is making. As to the probability of anything resulting from Ihis otTort the interview with Senator Allison reported in our Washington dispatches was far from reassuring. The senator inti mated that the fe-sion might be pro longed until the middle of September and still no bill bo acted upon. Everybody understands that there is no possible chance of the Mills bill pussi tlio senate in its present form , and tlio amendments certain to bo made to it in that body would as surely not be con inirred in by the house. The simplest way of ending a struggle which it is ap parent can have no practical result at this session , is for the republicans of tlio senate to agree upon a substitute for the Mills bill and pass it. The majority ol both branches of con gress having thus made their record can go home and await thu verdict of the pcoplo in November. There is evidently great difficulty In uniting republican ; on a tarill bill , but it ought to bo very obvious to them that it is of the highest , importance , ftorn the point of view of party interest , that they should bring forward a meas .ire in consonance with the present alti tude of the party. It ought to be plain to them that the parly cannot make its tight before the people to the best advantage upon any position of simple negation. The popular interest and intelligence re specting this issjic were never belore so alert and thorough as at this time. The people were never more earnest in de manding a definite avowal by the par tics ot their respective methods- for dealing with excessive taxation and the resultant accumulation ot a dangerous surplus in the national treasury. Jl will not be well for tlio republican party to have toconfoss lhat its representative- ! in congress were unable to agree upon any method Such an acknowledgment would go tar to destroy ihe Inllucnce of iho national platform , and would sub ject the party to the charge of having less courage than ils opponents It lannot alTord to be placed in this position , and therefore tlio re publicans of the senate will make a great mistake if they fail to improve their opportunity for proposing a tarill measure which they can all support. It must bo confessed , however , that the prospect of their doing this is not alto gether favorable. A Question of Ili-el' . Kvcr since Senators Vest and Plumb attacked the alleged beef monopoly , exposing - posing its methods and charging it with being the most oppressive and exacting combination in llio country , there has been a great deal of public interest manifested in the subject. The senate adopted a resolution appointing a com mittee lo thoroughly investigate the cattle trade , and it will enter upon its work immediately after the adjourn ment ot congress. Meantime the mat ter is not being allowed to drop out ol public attention. The National Associ ation of Butchers , at Us recent conven tion at Philadelphia , denounced Ihe beef ring in unmeasured terms. The International Hnngo , an association with a mcmborshipof nearli one thousand , and representing liftcen million head of cattle and an enormous capital , is arrayed against the alleged ring with the determination of destroy ing it. Other Inllucnccs are at work so that probably no other combination In the country is being attaeUcd more vigorously than the one which is charged With practically controlling the boot supply of the country. Asa further means of arousing public sentiment ngninst the combination and uniting in the war against it all those having a common Interest In Us over throw , It Is proposed to hold n national conver.tlon of beef producers , probnblj at some , date in next September. This chief object to bo accomplished by this convention , would bo to-sqcurosuch concert - , cert of ni'tion bolwcMi the cattle raisers , the butchers and iho retailers throughout the country" would effec tually prevent the operations of any ings , mid it In thought would correct natiy of the abuses now Bald to prevail. : t l.s claimed by those who are urging .his mo\cmcnt that at the present time Battle raising is not paying satisfactory interest on the money invested in the business. Statistics show that there is no overproduction of caltlo in the Unilod Stales , and Ihcro are ess cattle to-day per head of population in the country than there woroata llmo ivhen cattle values were one-third tiighcr limn they are now and the busi- IK.-SS was prosperous. Consumers are L > uylng , on an average throughout the United Stales , as much as they did when caltlo values were high. Yet liroduccra claim that they are nol get ting an adequate return on Ihoir capi tal , and if Iho industry is nol lo deterio rate a radical reform in the method of doing business is necessary. To cllect tliis would bo the prime object of the proposed nalionnl convention. Interest in this matter reaches everybody , and if there is really a formidable combination or ring which has been plundering both the producers and consumers , as al leged , besides practicing oilier abuses against the general welfare , ils ex posure and overthrow cannot come too hoon. The senate committee has the most ample laliludo for prosecuting an investigation , and will doubtless go to the bottom of Iho mailer. Meanwhile , regarding Iho matter solely from the bide of Ihe consumers , il is by no means assured that a combination of producers , butchers and retailers would bo more favorable to them than is Iho ring which is now said lo exist , and lo which all Iho alleged abuses in the cattle trade are charged.

[ ' ipeclul to Tin : Biu. : I This city , which is the county seat of Erie county , ought to be the headquarters of the Cleveland sentiment of thu country. In the homo of the piesulont , if ho has a home , one usually finds moro enthusiasm when his mime is mentioned than In any other part of tin- United States. Local pride generally outweiL-hs personal disappointment , and the politicians , without regard to the distribution of patronage , usually have had tlio utmost confidence in their townsman who happens to be filling the chair of the chief magistrate of this nation. Your correspondent has made diligent cllort to find some strong supporters of Grover Cleveland In the city which hon ored him by making him its mayor , by pre senting him to the voters of the Empire state for the governorship , and to the countty for Iho picsideiicy. Yet Cleveland enthusiasts in Buffalo are exceedingly ruro parties out side of his olllco holdcis. It is an indisputa ble fact that Grover Cleveland is far weaker in his homo city to dny ( always providing that BuiT.tlo is his homo eit.y ) than pcihnps In any other to\vn of its size on the Amciiuan continent. In Kill Garllold carried the county by a majority of about thirty-four hundred. In IbvJ , when the half-breed stalwart light was at its bitterest point , when Judge Folcei- had been nominated for the go\oriiorslnp of the state by tin- republicans , by what were considered unfair tactics on the pat t of these so called stalwart wing of the republican party : when the feeling of the Garlield wing of the partv was at its Hood tide of opposi tion to the Arthur wimr , so-called , Erie county gave Grovcr Cleveland a majority of about seven thousand over Judge Folgcr for for the L'overnorship. At lhat time Cleve hind had the toil-port of the Buffalo Express , then the leading half-breed paper of western New York , and the Buffalo Evening News , a penuj paper with the largest circulation of any alteration dailj in tlm stale outside of N < -\v York city. Thu Buffalo Evening News was the first to advocate the nomination of Grover Cleveland fur the presidency by the democrats of the country. The Evening News gave the I'lcvclnud-llemlrieks ticket its most cordial support , and the ic- suit was that instead of a majority of : i , . " > UO for the republican ticket Hluino carried the count v by only Him. Now , m IbSS the Express , which was not an original Blaine paper in ISM , and which swallowed the ticket with a very wry face , is advocating the election of llairison ami Morton with all the vigor that it can put Into its columns , The Evening News is also working to the same end , and its WI.OOl ) re.ul- i.'rs are 11 rated to Harrison and Morton cam paign literature every evening. The News is a staunch supporter of the lepublican dnc- trine of protection and the vigorous opponent of the second term idea. The loss of its support is in itself a serious blow lo the Cleveland democracy , and is likely to result m the old-time republican majority in Erie county. Beyond all this , some of the loading dem ocrats of tlio county liavo come out squarely iicuinst Grnvcr Cleveland. All the old time Harrison men of 1MO , those who shouted for Tippc-canoe and hard culcr , have organ ised themselves into a Harrison and Moi ton club with Lewis F. Allen , uncle and bene factor ol ( tiovi-r Cleveland , at their lie.nl. Jonathan Seovillu. who represented the Bult.il. . ) district in congress as a democrat for a term and a half , and who has also filled the chair in thojmayor's cilice , is an extensive manufacturer m the ( Jueen city. Mr. So - ville is understood 'o ' have declared his de termination lo vote the Harrison ticket. He subscribed $10.000 to the Cleveland campaign fund in Ibsl. Frank H. Goodyear , a leading lumber manutacturcr , whoso headquarters are in Buffalo , and whoso business is conducted on the Penn sylvania line , said toyourcorrespondeiitthat he could not endorse Grover Cleveland's message and its free trade tendencies. Mr. Newman , another leading lumber manufac turer , who was a wrm adherent of ( irovcr Cleveland in 1SS4 , said that ho should not vote for Cleveland in isss , and ho did not believe that the l.'iO men In his employ would bo likely to vote for the suicidal policy laid down by President Cleveland's message. , and in part carried out by the Mills bill. C. .1. Huliu , ono of the wealthiest citizens of Buf falo , the ownei of ono of the finest stock farms in the world and the employer of sev eral thousand men , who voted for Cleveland in IbSI , lias declared his intention to support the republic-ail ticket mid the republican platform this year. Buffalo is u manufacturing city and its miumlncturors see now that then- former townsman is thoroughly imbued with tlio British doctrine * ot free trade , and tlioy real ize that to extend his power means the in jury of their business and the discharge of their employes. Naturally they are not dis posed-to this end. Men who have been consistent democrats for years simply uo- cause there was , in their opinion , some sort of an obseuro line between the two parties , but which line did not divide them on Iho question of tariff , are now frightened at the outlook , and there seems to bo a st impede among them away from the democrat te I liavo beard moro talk among the laboring men , too , on the subject of the tariff in Buf falo lately than 1 ever heard before. Bull.ilo lias nil intelligent class of mechanics and 'working people generally , among whom are numbered eighty or ninety thousand foreign born citixens , many of whom know wlmtfioe trade and low waces mean to a 1mm wlio is dependent upon the sweat of his brow for the bread to support his family. These men , in many instances , own houses in which they live , and are an industrious , well dis posed , thinking class of American clti/ens. Efforts are being made by the dcmoeiats to stirupthi ! German-Americans hero again t the republican ticket because of the high license bill passed by the republican legisla ture. But tlioso efforts have uut been very fruitful , because the Gurmini-Aiiierieans , as u rule , rcali/o that the saloonkeepers make thu profits , and that they alone would b affected by the high license law. One Ihing is patent to any casual visitor to BulT.uo who lakes any Interest in politics whatever , and that is the absolute apathy of tlio wurking politicians in the democratic party. Four years ago the enthusiasm stai fed for Cleveland on the day ol his nomi nation and It was continued up to the day of Ins election. When ho was inaugurated crowds ol Buffalo democrats went to Wash- ingtun to see tilt. ceremony. Naturally iiuinv of them hoped for politico ) ivwaid , but of those wlio journeyed to the capital m uni form not nsinuloono was appointed loan olllco hy tlio piesidrnt. He tins utterly iff noreil tin ; rank and file of Ins party m Bui- falo , and the few plums which ho has dis tributed in the. Queen City on llio lalcs have fallen into the outspread hands ol personal friends and men who have not been idcnli- lied with Iho working elument in his paity For this reason he will naturally Imd deep pcated opposition to his re flection aiming the men who lormerly supported him. This op position will , perhaps , not extend HO Inr as to induce thu workers lo vote for Harrison , but it will go far enough to prevent them from giving an enthusiastic support to the democratic ticket. Bcsiut's all this there Is a marked develop meat of the protective sentiment in the. ranks of the agricultural population tound about Buffalo. The Mills bill , which has tlio en dorsement of the president , and is the basis of the democraliu platform , proposes to ad mit to the markets of the United Stales from Canada , iioiilti-y , fresh meat , garni * mid vuri ous other products of thu farm and the dairy Ireo of alt dutv. Just iirross the river at Buffalo , and within u distance of Jlvo miius pt her principal markotfi , are located some of the lif-Bt farms m Canada. The Canadian ngricultuj-isls are hamliercd for want of a market. The Mills bill would supply that market and would give them aa advantage In the matter of distance over the furmoi-i of Erie county , which would certainly prove ex tremely embarrassing if not disastrous , to Iho latter. The facilities of .transportation be tween Buffalo ttnd the surrounding country In Canada are o great that Canadian farm ers' wagons would certainly occupy 'tho stands around the Buffalo markets without hindrance on all market day. , If It were not for tlm protective iuiliu-'iicu of the present tariff. The I'rio county people rcullro that the Mills bill , Whlld giving UK > Canadians so many advantages does not se cure to tlio residuals of the fulled States any return whatever for the concessions made. It H not a reciprocal moasiiro by any means , but is purely a one-sided device for the detriment of the agriculturalists on the Amorli'nn ' side of the border. This statement Is so eilsily verified that the least posted men In political economy roidlly reali/e the wis dom of the republican party In opposing the Mills bill. Hence protection has a V.'l'ler ' fol lowing in Mr. Cleveland's own county to day than it ever had befoie , and ho himself Is re sponsible for It. With all these obstacles to meet Cleveland Is not likely to Hud himself us well supported In this section of the empire state as he was In | ss | , and oven tlio most smguiiu- demo crats admit that the outlook is not at nil bright. On the other hand. I have found ninny conservative men who have always voted at the pnrtj's call who do not hesitate to say that in their judgment the vote against them will show a majority of at least thirty- live hundred mid poitiblo live thousand for Harrison and Morton , and protection to American Industries , In the county of Erie , which once gave Grovcr Cleveland a major ity of 7i'OJ when he was a candidate for gov ernor.

The president scut lo congress to-day a message transmitting the fourth annual report of the civil service lommis ioii , covering a period between January 10 , 1M5 , and July 1 , lb7. . Tlio first half of the message is a statistical nnalisis of the report of the commission. It then goes on to say "Tho path ot civil service reform lm not at nil times been pleasant or easy , the scope and purpose of the reform having been misapprehended , and thus has not only given rise to strong opposi tionbut has led to its Invocation by its friends tocompass objects not in the least related toil.

With the continuation of In telligent fidelity winch has heretofore char acterised the work of the commission , and with the continuation and increase of laver mid liberality which liavo lately been evinced by congress in the proper equipment ol the commission for the work ; with the firm hut conservative and reasonable support of thu reform ball its friends , and with the disappearance of the opposition which must inevitably follow its better understanding , the execution of the civil service law cannot full to ultimately answer the hopes in which It had ils origin. " A IticniliMSprnlCN. . OMUII , July ' 'I. To the Editor of TUB Bin : : The numerous dissolutions and failures re- poilcd m the tetad giocery trade the past week indicate strongly that the line is much overdone and that credits are too freely ex tended. Collections in the city have been bad for some time piist. The loss of money through the building strikes had much to do with tins , as mechanics had to be carried by the trades.min during their illness and they have not been able to catch up since. Con sequently the tiailesmeu are hard up and un able to meet their bills to Jobbers. Candid men in the jobbing trade will readily admit that credit is extended to freely in tins city , both by Ihe joubors and their customers and bv the retailers to theirs , and llio sooner a halt is called in this respect the butter it will be for all concerned. A certain amount of credit Is necessarily granted , but n retailer should not ask the jobber to carry him for staple goods to thrice Iho amount of his work ing capital. Sunday Beo. The amount of truth contained in the above lines , every retailer in Omaha knows only tuo well , especially In tlio grocery mid meat business. Truly , it Is time to call a halt in this respect. Thu credit system in this city Is being overdone and abused. When strangers , utterly unknown to the owners of the stores , is it not time to call u halt ) No body knows how much money retailers lose In a year , by having only n few bad accounts , winch the shrewdest business man cannot prevent Customers may pay their bills icg- alai-ly lor a long time , and then , if they take a notion , may fail to pay their bills for two or three months , and if the retailer refuses to curry them any | ! onger , ho runs the risk of losing all comliii' lo him. ord with very little chance of collecting it. Wholesalers and jobbers can close a trades man's store by the sheriff to get their money , but the retailer , how can ho get what right fully belongs to him from u cu'tomcrl l.s it nottiino for the iel.nl merchants to come together and protect themselves and agree to soil for cash only I It would taku some time to bring it to tins but it can be done. II will be better for Iwth the consumer and the retailer in the end. The coal dealers have Intel } adopted this plan , ami I under stand it is working very satisfactory. Let other dealers adopt a s\ stem something similar to the dairyman's plan. Let them issue tickets of the r > , IO , IS , 131 and 50 cent denomination nomination , for the accommodation of custo mers who would buv a few dollars' worth at once , but for cash in advance only. Some retailers would probably object to such a plan , fearing to lose then- good paying customers , but if all join together , then the mil ami thu poor alike will pa.\ for their goods when they receive them Tins is not asking too much of any ono. His a good , sound principle to "pay ns you go. " Our customers will Ihlnk no moro ol paying cash than they do now by having il "chart-'ed. " Tlio merchant can then sell on a smaller profit and rtie coijsumcr will not buy mate than ho wants , which he often does when ho runs tin account.

How Victims of tin- Meat are Treated. Philadelphia Telegraph : Dr. Harvey , Shoemaker of the Pennsylvania- - > pital has been kept busy during Iho past week in treating patientb alllicled ' with sunstroke. There is a big white tent in the hospital yard containing all the appliances for the trcatnunt of these cases. "The lirst thing to bo done , " said Dr. Shoemaker , "is to strip the patient en tirely , and. if an extreme case , apply ice liberally , to the head and body gen erally. If the temperature bo onlj a few degrees above tlio normal a liberal appliance of cold water under borne cir cumstances will have the desired effect , which is to reduce-tho temperature. With this accomplished , and llio circu latory and respiratory organs working , recovery is pretty sure , unless inenin- giti.s or other complications set in. "I have n remarkable ciso whith cnmo in yesterday.Vo bring the sun stroke cases hero because the air is fresher and the rapid evaporation from the stone surface keeps the tomporuturo down.
