The nuiuu of A. I ) , Cummins , lown mem
bcr of the republican national committee ,
has been mentioned several times In con
ncctlon with a cabinet position. The secrc
taryshlp of the navy and the attorney gen
eralship have both been spoken of for him.
H develops that during the campaign Mr.
Cummins has been much talked of In con
nection with thu attorney generalship by
the leaders In thu national committee. It
was generally believed Iowa would get rep
rcscntatlon In the cabinet , the outside Im
prcsslon being that Allison would bo nITcrcd
the treasury portfolio. That place has been
refused lately by the- senator , and It Is said
ho will not take It now , even If offered It.
The Cummins boom Is stated to have been
started after It was understood Allison was
not a candidate for a place In the cabinet.
Mr. Cummins declined to discuss the mat
ter today , but from politicians It was learned
that the proposal Is not new , and that It has
boon regarded with great favor by men who
are expected to stand high among thu next
president's advisers. Mr. Cummins Is at the
head of thu Iowa bar , a leader In the party
and as national commlttccman has done ex
cellent service.

his assistants did thu work whllo the mem
bers of the council put In the timeas beat
they could. Nearly all of the successful
candidates were Interested spectators and
spsnt the evening In becoming acclimated.
The olllclal count developed no material
chnngro from thq vote as previously pub
lished In The Dee. Therewcro the usual
slight Irregularities In making up some of
the poll books , but none that would afford
nny tangible- ground for a contest.
Iko Hascall confidentially Informed some
of his friends that he Imd evidence that
would enable him to discount Stuht's plu
rality In thu First ward , but Its nature was
not developed In the count.

appointed by President Saunders to assist
the clerk , and when the totals were footed

CALHOUN. Neb. , Nov. C. To the Editor
of The lice : In the Omaha "Fake-factory"
of this morning , I noticed what It called
a few comforting fluurcs on the election.
H was a review of the number of statc.s .
carried by Hryan. It seems to me that a
comparison of the states with those voting
In 18U2 is sufficient to demonstrate the
soundness of the drubbing administered to
the late Mr. Ilryan. i
In 1892 Cleveland carried states ns fel
lows : Alabama , Arkansas , Connecticut , Del
aware , Florida , Georgia , Illinois , Indiana.
Kentucky , Louisiana , Maryland , Mississippi ,
Missouri , New Jersey , New York , North
Carolina. South Carolina , Tennessee. Texas ,
Virginia , West Virginia and Wisconsin.
Of these states Ilryan carried but
twelve , or ono moro than one-
half , viz : Alabama , Arkansas , Florida ,
Georgia , Louisiana , Mississippi , Missouri ,
North Carolina , South Carolina , Tennessee.
Texas and Virginia. In 1892 Harrison car
ried seventeen platen , viz : California , Iowa ,
Maine , Massachusetts. Michigan. Minnesota ,
Montana , Nebraska , New Hampshire , Ohio ,
Oregon , Pennsylvania , Rhode Island , South
Dakota , Vermont , Washington and Wyoming.
In 189C Hryan carried hut two of these ,
Nebraska and Washington. So that out of
thlrty-nlno states carried by both Cleveland
and Harrison In 1892 Ilryan carries but
fourteen , or only ono more than one-third
of the states carried by both Cleveland and
Harrison. If these Items are oamfortlng It
certainly requires very little to satisfy the
"Fake-factory. " Yours truly.

Every ono of the republican candidates
for the Hoard of Education were elected by
big majorities at the late election. . That
developed In the official canvass of the
votes cast made by the- board last t.lght.
Handhnuer and Rhoadca , both re-elected ,
had thu biggest majorities , but Hess , Sears
and Van Glider wore close behind them.
Thu figures were as follows : Handhauor ,
10.737 ; Grossman , 7.S2S ; Hew. 10.3B3 ; Ken
nedy , 8,097 ; Reed , 7,144 ; Rres , 7.S72 ; Sears ,
10.022 ; Rhoades , 10,7tV2 ; Summers. 7,702 ;
Van Glider. 10.00S.
II. J. Penfold also walked away with Ms
democratic opponent for the vacancy left
by Rev. Crnmblet. Many voters failed to
signify their ; preference for this olllce. and
consequently the vote wns much smaller
than for the other olllces. It was Penfold ,
7,515 ; Lowe , R.22S. Penfold will hold his
oHleo ono ye.ir from .limitary 1 , 1817. and the
other live will hold theirs three years from
that date.
The canvassing occupied fully two hours
and was completed at 11:30. : Before It was
begun the board transacted some regular
business. President Rhoades mibmlttcd an
exhaustive annual report for the school year
ending Juno-30. last , lie begun by call
ing attention to the Increane nver.ige at
tendance , which was 12.C.10 , an Increase of
from 1,057 to 2,251 over the preceding
years. The revenues were $3. > on45.53 , a de
crease of at least $104H4 < 5.2fi over preced
ing years. President Rhcdc calculated
that with the Increased attendance on the
hauls of other years the board should have
had resources to the amount of I.130.S39.
After complimentary notices of thu work
of the superintendent of Instruction , the
secretary of the board , the superintendent of
buildings and custodian , the report touclicil
upon the question of teachers salaries.
It disapproved any further reduction in sal
aries , stating that Omaha Is not only paying
it low salary , but one fir below the average.
It was stated that the constant agitation re
garding salaries has had a demoralizing ef
fect upon the teachers , causing resignations
of llrst-class teachers and occasioning the
filling ot the vacancies with poorer ones.
President Rhoades believed that n wrong
Idea was prevalent regarding tint size of the
salaries. Ho said that a teacher receiving
Ihu maximum of $70 per month made n total
of only $630 a year , or $52.50 PIT calender
month. One receiving a minimum of $40
obtained $ : tfiO a year , or $30 per calender
month. President Rhoades did not think
that this compensation was too great for a
woman who performed the work of a
"teacher , parent and Sunday school teacher. '
The report then referred to the special
departments In the schools. In the first
place the president believed n step back
ward had been taken In abolishing the
teachers' training school. The manual
training department wns highly commended
and It was recommended that It bo enlarged
to provide for the Increased enrollment. The
board was congratulated for retaining mimic
and drawing In the course of study. Tin-
kindergartens and Ihelr work were also
highly recommended , although President
Rhoades said : " 1 am strongly of the opin
ion that too many kindergartens were
opened at the beginning of the year and
would recommend that the board carefully
Investigate the matter before taking any
action In that direction next year. 1 would
also recommend that thu committee on
kindergartens bo requested to Investigate
carefully the kindergartens of Omaha , also
In other cities , to obtain the opinions of
educational authorities throughout the coun
try mid that the Information he given full
publicity with a view of determining as
far as possible whether the patrons of the
school are In favor of continuing It In our
public school system.
The icport recommended the adoption of
the civil service system In governing teach
ers. Instead of the system of annual cloc-
tluns and re-elections.
President Rhoades maintained that de
spite criticisms with reference to extrava
gance , thn board has endeavored to econo
mise as far as possible without destroying
the high standard of the schools. To ihi
criticisms made In regard to the demand of
the board on the council for thu same levy
as last year , the report stated that the de
mand that the revenue from , taxation be In
creased , waa not because the expense of
running schools Is being Increased , but be
cause the revenue derived from licenses has
decreased from $252,000 to $193,000. The ro.
fusal of the council to make up the deficit
has Increated the school debt , compelling the
board to pay Interest on outstanding war
rants. Notwithstanding the council's actions
the president strongly recommended the
board to open the kindergartens and llrst
grades to full day sessions.
The report congratulated the board on
the creation of the Insurance fund , allow
ing money formerly paid to Insurance com
panies to bo transferred to this fund and
invested. H was stated that the Insurance
had been gradually dropped from $575.000
to $141.700 , whllo the fund Is largo enough
to take core of any nominal loss by llro.
Member Gillesple , chairman of a special
committee to Investigate the matter of de
fective sight and Impaired hearing In the
public schools , recommended Ihat an ex
pert uurlst and oculist be engaged to conduct
an examination , with the assistance of the
school olllrlals , of the children In the schools
with a view of selecting those who need
special care that they may bo provided
lor.
lor.Tho
The Intention Is not to provide eye
glasses and medical care , but to In.itigurato
such n system of arranging blackboards ,
etc. , that the eyesight of pupils In the future
may bo saved. The committee estimated the
cost of the examination will be $2. < 0. The
report of thu committee was adopted , but
no authority was glvei. to expend the money
In the work. The committee was continued.
City Treasurer Edwards rendered a report
for the month of October , which showed a
balance of $21,137.12 In the general fund on
tint last day of the month. There are out
standing warrants to the amount of
? 73,72iJ.Sl , of which $6.mo ! ) is drawing In
terest. Oi.ly $815.80 of warrants was paid
during thu month.
The board wns served with a notice from
the Ijoanl of Public Works , ordering the
construction of permanent stone sidewalks
on Lake street , In front of the Lake school ,
and on Izard street , In front of the I/.aril
school.
A request from Teacher Catherine Fees for
live months' leave of absence was referred
to the superintendent with power to gran * .
Miss Fees has already left the city to take
a special course In the Unheraity of Wls-
