Great us the United Stales Is among
the nations H comprises emly about one-
fourth of the area of the continent : ) of
Neirlh mid South America. It U to bo
remembered th-it Mexico and the coun
tries e > f South and Cuntral America ,
while they have not made aa great pro
gress as this country , a-o yet us truly
American. They retain In a moro or
lesmoillllcd form thu tongue of the
Spanish and Portuguese ) who settled
them , but this does not afTuct their ro
tations us a part of the great American
world any more than do-js the fact that
Iho language of the United States is
Unit of Kng.and all'oet the standing ot
this country as an American nation.
The olvillz itlon ol the Spanish-Ameri
can countries is not as high as that of
the United States 'generally , and the
lack of httbllity in the governments e > f
most of thorn has been an obstacle to
their progress The three Spanish-
American I'ountries whore the govern
ment appears to bo moat firmly estab
lished a'o Mexico , the Argentine and
Chili , yet in the last two there Imvo
been revolutions in the recent past.
Undoubtedly the republican form ot
government in Brazil will be permanent ,
but there is a dissatisfaction in some of
the provinces which may at any time
tlovelop revolution. Vono/.uola has just
deposed a president , while 1'eru is still
MtlYcring from her war with Chili.
In the Central American states revo
lutions are of frequent occurrence. In
deed tlio whole history of the Spanish-
American republics has been a , stormy

example und influence of the Utiltod
States , wtiluh with olosor commercial
relations will bo exerted with steadily
increasing force , will in the course of
time produce a radical change in the
character of those countries. This has
boon done in tlio ease : of Mexico , whoso
people have learned the folly and the
cost of revolutions , and whore the gov
ernment now appears to bo in no moro
danger from popular torment than is
the government of the United States.
When ether Spanish-American coun
tries become freer from the influence ol
European capital , which has boon ro
hpoiibiblo for in.iny of the revolutions ,
they will do as Mexico has dono-ind then
will cotno an era of vigorous progress.
As it is some of these countries have
realized n wonderful growth in a com
pi'Mitivoly brief period. Mexico is
steadily advancing in material pros
perity , after generations of unrest ii

Chill is rapidly recovering from hoi
damaging civil war and is pushing for

fortunate financial experience , which
has afforded a striking lesson to olhor
countries , would bo having a splendid
prosperity. Brazil is moving forward
in material development. All of those
countries liavo great resources , which
have as yet boon but mcagerly do-
velopeel. With the extension of rail
roads , the telegraph and telephone ,
and with closer communication with a
higher and inoro progressive civiliza
tion , a new race of Spanish-Amorlcins
will bo evolved who will elevate their
countries lo the higher standards of
older nations. The conditions that
will produce those results are already
being provided. The countries of Span
ish-America are acquiring all the ap
pliances anel Instruments e > f progress
and development and loirning the
methods by which ether countries have
grown and prospered. With thosp"0.id

The intellectual part of the Columbian
exposition will attract almost as much
attention as the practical and it promises
m.tguificont contribution to the
world's thought. One of the interesting
events of liiiat Friday was the inaugura
tion o ! the Columbian congress , and the
plan of the world's congress auxiliary
contemplates the holding miring tlio
exposition of more than 103 eonirrosbos
representing the religious and moral
progress of mankind.
During the month of Miiy a series of
world's conventions of music and the
drama , the public press and medicine and
surgery will moot. Music alone , to refer
to only one of these departments , will
probably have an ampler iccognition ,
as ono of the finer features
of civili/.ation , than has over before -
fore boon given to it. Tlio various
projected musical congresses have
been put in charge ot able and
competent men and provision has boon
made by the directory for the rendering
of the noblest music in the halls to bo
built for this purpose. During the
month of .Tutus world's congresses rolat-
incr to Icmuor.inco , moral and socitil
reform , commerce and finance , will beheld
hold , in July there will bo congresses
relating to literature , science , phil
osophy and education.
In August J.hcre will bo congresses re
lating to engineering , art , architecture ,
government , law reform and political
science. Prom August 23 , and extend
ing through the month of September ,
the great religious congresses will beheld
held , beginning with iho ambitious par
liament of world's religions , and tno
moro restricted , but not less interesting ,
parliament of Christendom , followed by
the church , interdenominational and
misjion congresses , and closing with Iho
meetings of the Evangelical alliance
and the Sunday rest conventions. Dur
ing the month of Ootobsr congresses of
labor , trades , occupations and agricul
ture will bo held , and in the opinion of
many good judges the o may prove the
most interesting' of all.
When it is remembered ( hat all those
real gatherings will not ba merely
ocal or sectional in their character , but
oprosontative of the whole world , their
mportanca as registers of the world's
bought and endeavor in those various
ines of activity will be clearly nnnroel-
itcd. They will bring out , in a way
lover before attempted , the enduring
rtumphs of modern civilization , wbllo
at the sumo time they will oiler a worthy
( ilatform to the great thinkor.s and ro-
'ormors of the world , who hive some
thing to Hiyof Interest to humanity ,
either by way of criticism or suggestion.
The proposed parliament of world's
religions has been the subject of some
. riticism , but as it Is ( o bo managed by
eminent Christian clergymen of un
questioned orthodoxy It Is not likely
that it will be antagonistic to Christian
ity. The other religious congresses
will brin ? out the rn.xny-sldod activi
ties of the Christian churches , and their
effect on the various denominations rep
resented will doublloa.s bo stimulutiiiL ;
and helpful.
The number to bo Interested in the In
tellectual pirt ol the exposition is mil
so great as ttio nu'iibur who wilt bo at
tracted by the splendid exhibition ol
the world's material progress , but the
congresses will not fall to command the
earnest attention of millions of intelli
gent and thoughtful men and vvonioi
the world over , and there can be IK
doubt that much good will result fron :
them. Nothing in connection with tin
exposition wilt bettor Illustrate tlu
gunlus of the American people for plan
nlng and carrying to success great on i-
torpriecs. '

Many striking examples of parontn
hcartledsnoss and unrequited filial ill
fection are dully witnessed in the crim
inal courts of the United States , not-ox
cepting those of Nebraska. It is not i
very uncommon thing to see a chili
under ton years of ago taken before
magistrate by its parents nnd recommended
mended for confinement in n juvunil
reformatory. It is customary for th
judge to talco the word of the parents ute
to the refractory and ungovernable na
lure of the child , nnd if their ator
seem reasonable tie promptly Bonds th
youthful culprit to the staleindustrln
school or a juvenile reformatory of &om

bort.Without
Without attempting to deal purlieu
Inrly with Iho morlta of any special case
or clnsa of cnsos/U may bo proper to
sponk of the uonorm subject us ono Ihnt
is commanding lucronscd attention
everywhere. It cannot bo donioil that
juvonllo reformatories nro necessary ,
and that under proper management they
mny exert nvlu > \ omo influence upon
their youthful initiates , by wlilch , in
sonio instances at least , their charac
ters mny bo BO molded as to put them
In the way of becoming useful nnd hon
orable members of society. But in
many cases it isto bo presumed that
the youthful olTomt'or will bo hardened
by such treatment and that any evil
tendencies which ho may possess will bo
confirmed. The fact that u child is
h-iru to manngo ought not , in tlio inter
ests of common humanity , to bo regarded
as a sufficient cause for his confinement
in u reformatory. It is customary olio-
where , ns well as hero , for courts tone-
copt the statements and conform lo Hie
wishes of parents in such cases upon the
natural , though often mistaken , as
sumption that Siicha stop woulii only bo
resorted to nftor all ether moans of cor
rection hud failed. Yol it is conceiv
able that the grossest injustice may
often bo done in ihia way , and it is a
pity tl.nt the law should offer to heartless -
loss nnd unnatural parents so easy a
moans of ridding themselves of their
children , for whoso bad tendencies , if
they reaily have any , in fact , tlio par
ents nro themselves to blame.
According to recent census reports
there wore on Juno 1 , 1890 , In the
juvenile reformatories of the United
States 14,81l > inmates. Fully one-half
of those wore botwcon tlio ages of o and
14.years. Of the whole number 0,0"0
wore charge ! with "olTonaos against
society , " rj)12 ) with "offenses against
public policy , " and 4olf with "olTonsoa
against property. " Under the head of
"miscellaneous" there wore HOSO , and
the e whoso olTonso was put down as
"unknown" numbered Col. Other sins
of those children besides those given
are sot down in the report , and it in evi
dent that some of them wore charged
with several olTonsos. It would seem ,
however , that the charge of "offense
against public policy" ought to cover a
multitude of sins. This is a broad ,
vague and uncertain accusation to bo sot
down against children who ciuuot bo
biinposed to know what public policy is.
Who docs know what this fearful charge
means ? It must be an awful thing for
young child to bo branded with an
"olTense against public policy. " Perhaps
it consists in being born and surviving
for a few years the neglect and abuse of
heartless parents. ,
In Nebraska tliu juvenile convicts
number 1GO unles and soventy-oiio
females. Of the former sixty-throe are
charged with "offenses against public
policy. " and of tho.hitter thirty-six are
in the same category. Doubtless the
real truth is tint it is considered an
ollonao against public policy for a child
to bo disobedieni rebellious and dis
posed to go astray from the paths"of
roctiluOo. The pn'ront sits in judgment
upon tlio conduct of the youthful t-aus-
gressor in about nine cases qut of ton ,
allowing 'that ono-lenUi of the jilvcnilo
delinquents are waifs. Having boon
practically cast off by its parents the
child can hardly bo- blamed if , after its
discharge from the reformatory , it is
found to have lost all solt'-rospoct and
become impatient of nil restraint. The
stigma of having been an inmate of a
reformatory is sure to stick. It is a sc.ir
upon the character of the child that
cannot bo effaced. Go whore ho may
he will be reminded of it.
Undoubtedly there nro cases in which
the roformatorv is necessary for tlio re-
fatruint of iho youthful transgressor , but
it is certain that the ground work of
many a criminal career is laid by iho
child's parents when they cut him loose
from home influences and have him sen
tenced to confinement in an institution
'vhich , whatever may bo its name , is
really a prison. Thousands of children
might bo saved from shamonnd disgrace
if their parents were willing to do their
duty by them , and the criminal annals
of the country would be vastly bhortencd
by a faithful observance of parental
obligations.
IT is a hard task that the democrats

inont bill , an appropriation for marking
tlio position of the slate troops at Got-

for teachers. There is n consensus of
opinion among those who nro familiar
with the subject , from a knowledge of
the usefulness ot such schools elsewhere ,
that the board mr.do u very great mistake -
take in abolishing the Omaha school
and that after a brief experience it will
find this to bo the case. As wns said by
Mr. W. S. Curtis , who speaks * from exper
ience as a teacher , the particular ad-
vunlaBOof training schools is to supply
efficient material for filling the lower
grades , ant ! that means for teaching
thrco-fourlhs of the pupils of any city.
It is manifestly of the greatest import
ance that the teachers for those grades ,
having in charge so large n proportion
of thoschool children and bolng required
to lay the foundations of their educa
tion , should bo carefully trained. It Is a
grave error to assume that anybody will
do for this servlco who has a moderato -
ate education , whether having received
any training for n teacher or not , nnd it
this idea should obtain hero the elTcct
will bo damaging lo our schools.
THKIU : has bjou another reduction in
the time of the voyngo between Europe
and the United States. On her last trip
the City of Paris maiio the p'issago from
Queenstown to Sandy Hook in live days ,
fourteen hours and twenty-four minutes ,
an unnrocodontod achievement and one
outdoing her own previous performance
by ono hour and thirty-four miuutcp.
A single day's run of 530 miles , Iho best
over made , and an average spaed of
20.70 miles per hour maintained during
the entire journey of 2,782 miles , con
stitute a remarkable record. What
appeals tottho pride of Americans in
tlio matte ; ' is the fact that the City of
Paris is soon to have an American regis
try and fly the stars and stripes. The
suggestion of this latest uchlox'omont is
that it may bo possible within n few
years to cross the Atlantic in consider
ably leas than live days. The American
shipbuilders , the Messrs. Crump , are to
build for the Ininan line five or moro
steamships which it is proposed shall bo
speedier than the City of Paris and the
high character of these builders for
progress warrants the expectation that
they will accomplish what they set out
to do.
