HUtory has bccu considered among all na
tions at one of the noblest branches ot human
knowledge , and leading historians have ever
bcttn ranked among the brightest glories ot
their respective countries And among the
most distinguished beucfactore of the human
race. The praises of blMory have been pro
claimed by Cicero himself lu terms us honor
able * to hU golden style as to the subject
of our study. "History Is the witness of the
GP , the torch of truth , the llfo ot mem
ory , the guide of life , the messenger from
the past. " The kind of Instruction that his
tory affords U most precious , for It elves us ,
.with comparatively llttlo trouble , that knowl
edge which others have attained toy long and
often bitter experience ; It enables one man to
prollt by tha life ot millions. As ho travels
In mind through various lands nnd succes-
sVo ( ngcs ho observes the customs of di
verse nations , their manners of worship , of
government , ot warfare , ot commerce and of
agriculture , thnlr cultivation or their neglect
of the elegant and the useful arts ; and ho
becomes acquainted especially with the
characters of men and the workings of the
human passions. Thus his nrind is enlarged ,
his views are extended and ho gathers wis
dom tor his own conduct , learning what
course of life leads to success and what
other course leads to destruction.
VALUE OF HISTORY.
Hcnco one of the soundest modern critics ,
Frederic Schlcgel , to whom , though a for
eigner , Kngllsh literature'owes n largo debt
of gratitude , has well remarked In his Valu-
oblo "Lsctures on Modern" History" ( page 2) ) :
"History constitutes the apparently easy and
first clement of all instruction ; and yet the
more cultivated the mind of a man is the
jnoro multiplied opportunities will ho find of
applying It nnd turning' It to use , the more
w-lll. ho discern Its riches nnd dlvlno Its
deeper sense. Indeed , no thinker Is so pro
found ns to bo able to anticipate with ac
curacy the courseot hKtory , no scholar so
learned as to think he has exhausted It or has
coino to the bottom of It , and no sovereign
with Impunity dls-
so powerful that he may
icgard Ita silent teaching. "
And the eloquent Bossuct , himself so
lofty nn historian , thus begins his Intro
duction to his discourse on universal his
tory : "If history were of no use to other
men It ought to bo made the study of
r \ princes There Is no means so capable or
discovering to them what "passions and In
terests , times and conjunctures , and good
effect. * If
nnd evil counsels * may
experience is necessary for them to govern
well , there U nothing more conducive to
Iholr Instruction than Joining their own
dally experience to the example of pasr
ages. When they see the most
secret vices of princes exposed to the view
of all mankind , notwithstanding the false
praises bestowed upon them In their lire-
time , they feel ashamed of the vain delight
which ( lattery gives them , and are con
vinced that true glory can only consist
with merit. "
STUDYING HISTORY.
What the great French orator hero says
of princes Is in our own democratic coun
try applicable to magistrates and statcs-
-mcn , to the writers of our literature , the
orators of our popular assemblies , nay , to
every onb In ouc midst who aspires to
think for himself and to bo a leader of
thought In the circle In which he moves.
Our own age , and country cannot Just now
boast of many distinguished statesmen. A
more thorough course of studies for our
leading men would be n blessing , , and In
particular a deeper and more correct
knowledge ot historical events. This want
of wlso statesmanship is floating along wllli
the full tide of temporal abundance and
universal comfort ; but It Is now beginning
to bo felt when this same current In Its
ebb Is drifting In upon the hidden shoals
of secret discontent among a starving and
embittered people on the one hand , and the
deep-rooted unshaken rocks ot overbearing
monopolies on the other. It were well If
our statesmen were In time to learn a lesson
from the revolutions and the ruins of other
lands and other powerful nations , where
all was apparently opulence and magnll -
ccnco In the upper region of society until
the hearts of the people were corrupted
and the strength of the nation was un
dermined by those same agencies -nmcn
nro now at work In our midst.
To give one example of the wisdom tnat
statesmen may gather from the study of
history , wo may refer to the Influence which
Thlers exercised in Franco when the revo
lutions of 1830 and 1871 threatened his coun
try with Irretrievable ruin. He had stud
ied deeply the revolution of 1789 , ot which
ho has written a learned history ; ho found
the same causes that were working around
him tending to produce the same effects as
they Imd done In the preceding century ; as
they nro apt to In every generation ; because
human nature Is ever the same , and to a
certain extent history Is .constantly repeatIng -
Ing Itself. This knowledge gave him a deep
'Insight Into the.tendencies'of . parties , and
Tie was thus enabled to direct the ship of
state amid familiar shoals at a time when
It was In Imminent danger of being wrecked
by the surging billows of popular passions.
ESSENTIAL KNOWLEDGE.
Still lot It nit bo supposed that history
li of use to kings and statesmen and poli
ticians only. "It would be shameful , " says
the Illustrious Bossuet again ( lb. ) , "not
merely for a prince , but for any gentleman ,
not to bo acquainted with mankind , nnd
with those memorable changes which the
cuurso of time has produced In the world ,
In fact , there are few studies which con
tribute moro to glvo the mind that expan
sion of vlowu that liberal education which
distinguishes the gentleman from the com
mon crowd , than the study of history. The
jnlnds nnd hearts of men are naturally nar
row enough ; but they may bo expanded by
contact with other mjnds nnd other hearts
grander and nobler than themselves. His
tory brings us thus Into contact with the
greatest men of all ages nnd nations , and
expands all our faculties , as astronomy ex
pands our conceptions of space. Besides ,
In this land of popular government espe
cially , the most retired gcnlloman cannot
afford to leave the destinies of his country
lo the mercy of politicians. Politicians. It
la well known , nro not usually the soundest
nnd most Incorrupt portion of the commun
ity , But tlmy can bo kept In check by n
sound public opinion on the leading ques
tions of the day ; and this public opinion
ran bo created and maintained In n country
by those educated men who know how to
think for themEalves In the calm tranquil
lity of their own homes , whether they after
ward pour forth their thoughts through the
channels of public speaking or of private
conversation or through the myriad-toned
organs of the periodic press. If I can suc
ceed , by these occasional contributions to
our local literature , In throwing out such
hints ns will aid my readers to study his
tory In the future v/tth increased Interest
un'd proOt , wl'Ji a clearer understanding of
the real value of our leading historians , and
of the lessons of wisdom to bo learned from
their precious works , I shall feel that ray
time nnd labor have been well bestowed for
the real good of our common country ,
II.
QUALITIES OF HISTORY.
Having explained the Importance and the
dignity of history , wo will now proceed
to consider Its cstcnttal qualities. Wo will
deflno It as "the record of tha past ( or the
liutructlon and guidance of the present and
future generations. " It 1s not then a mere
statement of separate facts and bewildering
or even accurate dates and numbers ; but it Is
the study of our own race , our own human
family , of men with characters and aspira
tions , conviction * and surmUoa , paislons
and emotions similar to our own ; the study :
of their enterprises , their uuccessca and their
reveries , their exaltation and their degrada
tion , their triumphs and tholr defeaU : and
ill thli la exhibited before u M studied out i
and pondere.1 upon by muter minds , and
prescntffl with their reflections for our
consideration. The object M not that we
may while away the Idle hours In beholding
thl wonderful panorama pass before our
cyei ; but that we may see In our ancestors
and our fellow nun of other races and other
times what man truly in , what our own
generation Ir In comparison with others that
have gone before It , what wo can be anil
v < hat wo ought to be ourselves ; what dan
gers h vf > proved the ruin of others , and
what conduct has led to the highest glory
and the most real happiness.
U Is the study of mankind on the l rgcst
possible tcalc. and , thus written , history la
rnoro Interesting lo a man of sense than the
most thrilling novel can pojslbly be , and
more gratlfj Ing to the Inquisitive mind ,
whllo It 1s at Instructive as It is Interesting.
JHlstory , " says Frederic Schlcszl , "If It
aces not stop at the enumeration nf namci ,
dates nnd external facts , If It seizes on and
icts forth the spirit ot great times , of great
men and great events , Is Itself n true phil
osophy , Intelligible to all , nnd certain and In
its manifold manifestations the most 'In-
strucUvo. " ( Lecture on "Modern His-
WHAT -HISTORY TRACES.
Hkitory thus written teaches us how to
trace evenly to their real causes , proximate
nnd remote. For Instance , It Is not satisfied
with Informing us what events made up
the trench ievolution of 17S9 , what tremen
deus ebullitions of the worst passions of
n reckless and maddened populace swept
over one of the falreat Innds of the earth ,
destroyed its advanced civilization , and made
it for n time a pandemonium. But It traces
this ebullition of passions to Its source , to
the prldo of an Infatuated aristocracy , to
tbclr hcartlcrs oppression of the laboring
classes , to the crushing cut of religious edu
cation , to the consequent disappearance of
religion and conscience from nmong the
people.
Take up the first volume ot Alison's His
tory of .Europe , from the commencement
of the French revolution ot 17S9. Run. your
eye along the marginal analysis of this
eminently logical production , and you will
see at a glance .from what remote sources
the able historian traces the causes of that
awful catastrophe ; how clearly he exhibits
the forces al work In producing It. If you
study the details with care you will soon
become convinced that long continued op
pression will embitter the minds of Ihc
people } apd If reverence for religion Is at
the same time uprooted from Ihelr hearts ,
then , when the hour of retribution will com4
at last , it will burst upon the nation Ilka
a cyclone , with uncontrollable fury , and
( cave nothing but ruins In Us track.
Tou have now learned n lesson from the
experience ot others , and you thus see how
history Is , ns. wo have defined It , a record
of the past for Iho Instruction and guidance
of Ihe present and future generations. The
fact that history Is thus capable of Instruct
ing us is founded on the principles that like
causes will over tend to produce llko effects ,
that human nature is the same in all races
and in all countries , and men will , there
fore , bo to a great extent similarly affected
by similar circumstances. Wo thus learn
by a process of Induction. But we must re
member that such Inductions have not that
reliability which belongs to the physical
sciences ; therefore historic knowledge Is
not scientific knowledge In the strictest
sense of the word. For science derives
necessary conclusions from certain principles ,
but the conclusions of history are not
necessary ; they always depend moro OP less
on the free will of the agents concerned.
FREE WILL OF 'MAN.
Wo are hero touching on n matter on which
there are false views In the minds of some
able writers of history. Some ot these deny
the free will of man , though every ono of
them perceives that ho Is n frco agent him
self ; of this -certainty no man can rid him
self and all the laws of society arc founded
on It. And still these so-called scientists
must disregard human liberty or forsake
their false theories. When they do not dis
tinctly deny human liberty they artfully
manage to Ignore It nnd' thuu they strive to
make history a necessary evolution of hu
manity. "No matter If the facts be phys
ical or moral , " says Talno In his unsound
"History of English Literature" ( Introd. ) ,
"they all have their causes ; there Is a cause
for ambition , for courage , for truth , as there
Is for digestion , for muscular movement , for
animal heat. Vice nnd virtue , are products ,
llko vitriol and sugar. " And In all his ab
stract dissertation on this subject free will
( a most Important human factor ) Is totally
Ignored ; It Is never mentioned ; Its existence
Is Implicitly denied. "As In mineralogy ? ' he
saya ( Iv ) , "tho crystals , however diverse ,
spring from certain physical forms. So In
history civilizations , however diverse , are
derived from certain spiritual forms. The
one nro explained by a primitive geometrical
element , ns the other are by n primitive
psychological element. " And these psy
chological elements he explains to bo Images
or impressions made onman. . Ignoring ut
terly the subjective element of liberty In
each Individual. Misled .by the same false
theory , the erratic philosopher , Victor Cousin ,
exclaimed , "Glvo mo the geographical posi
tion of a people and I will give you Us his
tory. " Ho might , perhaps , give us n few
general features of that people's character ;
but Its history , inevcr. Cousin wrote that
presumptuous and reallv foolish sentence
when ho was Intoxicated with the temporary
enthusiasm created by his false philosophy ,
and when by his brilliant style and his bold
speculations ho was become the Idol of the
youths of France. His wild vagaries of
eclecticism remain still a portion of modern
literature , misguiding the young and unwary
oven In our own land. "Theso are
thy gods , O Israel ! " nut few now
know of his bitter regrets In later
rears , when age and experience had matured
his wisdom. Listen how changed Is his
tone at that more sober season of life :
"Young men , " he says ( the Month , vol. VI ,
p. ' 449) ) "listen not to those superficial minds
who glvo themselves out as profound think
ers , because , like Voltaire , they have discov
ered difficulties In Christianity. Measure
your progress In philosophy by the growth
of the tender veneration which you feel for
the religion of the gospel. " etc. I mean to
criticise hUtory In the light which age and
moro mature reflection and a returning faith
brought to Cousin , not as a visionary llko
Talne , but as n man of sense who knows
with mankind In general that men are free
agents , that virtue Is to bo praised /and vice
to be abhorred and repressed , and that there
Is an overruling Providence guiding the
dcntlnlcs of nations llko those of Individuals.
With this caution In our minds against the
possible exaggeration of the certainty of
historical knowledge , wo are now prepared
to consider what laws should regulate the
opposition of history.

"Our big Irrigation ditch which follows the
Frenchman valley for forty miles In Hitch
cock county , down In the southwestern cor
ner or the stntc , will be ready for active
operation on March 1 , " said Irlgatlon Agent
Ilubbanl of the Uurllngton railroad yes ;
tcrday to a Dec reporter. Mr. Hubbard
lias Juat returned from Culbcrtson , near
where the new ditch Is located , and Is en
thuslastlc over the prospective success ot the
mammoth enterprise.
The main ditch In forty miles In length.
The will Hi at the head ot the ditch Is thirty
feet , though It tapers near the- other end ,
being hut twelve tool wide at that point.
The completed ditch will carry water for
10,000 acres of land adjacent to the ditch.
The total cost of construction will bo be
tween $200,000 and $250,000. The coming
season will ba the first time that the whole
ditch has been operated through an entire
season. Parts have been operated during the
past year , but never all of It for an entire
season.
"The ditch Is In good condition from one
enil to the other , " said Mr. Iluubal'd. "I
went over It carefully and think It Is one
of the best large ditches I ever saw. It will
Irrigate probably 5.000 acres during the com
ing season. Tills Is a large tract cf land
to be Irrigated during the llrst season of a
ditch. It takes some time for a ditch to
work up to Its gT > atcst capacity , the area
which It can water Increasing from year to
year. The Irrigation season Is from April
16 to November 1. Last fall a large area of
ground near Culbeftson was wet and the
farmers made a good thing feeding their
swlno and cattleon alfalfa. Some of us
Invested some money in this way and Just
doubled it.
"In 1S01 thuro was a bill passed by tlic
state legislature , which provided for the
establishment of a stale agricultural ex
perimental citation at Culbcrtson. The bill
passed without any opposition' but every
attempt to carry out the provisions of the
bill has boon defeated. Consequently no
appropriation has over been made for es
tablishing such a station. Now that the
now Irrigation ditch Is about tolie opened
unusually favorable advantages arc offered
f&r such an experimental station at that point.
There Is now a bill before the legislature
to appropriate $15,000 for experimental sta
tion "work , the amount to be divided evenly
between Culbertson and iomc point on tbu
Plalto river. In order to help the matter
along we have just decided to give the use
ot forty acres of land at Culbortson for five
years for the work of the experimental ela
tion. It seems to mo such an appropriation
would be far wore sensible than the grantIng -
Ing of aid to the extent of $10.000 to rainmaking -

It was his opinion thai the law Is uncon-

convinced to the contrary by arguments of
counsel In seme case coming before him.
The court qualified his statements by saying
that his reir&rks applied only to cates in
which a irorlEagc had been given to secure
a loan made upon realty and did not apply
lo casca In which a mortgage had been given
to cover a pre-existing debt. In Illustra
tion of the position , the court stated a
hypothetical case In which a loan was made
upon a pl < ce of property , the amount of the
! oa'n being based entirely up'on the Judgment
of the money leaner us to the
value nf the property. When the
mortgage was foreclosed and the
property sold for only one-half of the loan ,
application was made for a deficiency Judg
ment for the remaining half of the loan , in
such a case , the court bald , the law , provid
ing for a deficiency Judgment put Into the
contract an clement that did not belong
there and such a law was plainly uncon
stitutional for that reason. The Judge said
ho wanted to hoar arguments on that point
In the llrst case coming before him.
There was a number of attorneys in the
court rooms who had Intended to aslc for
deficiency Judgments , but , after hoarlng this
expression of opinion on the part of the court

KOIl A CANADIAN CUSTOMS OKl'MOU.

CHy.
A movement , backed by the city officiate
and several largo commercial houses of
Omaha , Is on foot to establish a Canadian
customs office In this city. The matter has
been given publicity by the visit of Miss
Josephine Smith of this city , herself a
Canadian , to Victoria , British Columbia , dur
ing the past week. She carried with her a
memorial Blgned by Mayer Uroatch , other
city officials and a number of representative
business men , addressed to Controller of
Customs Patterson at Victoria , The memor
ial requests "the establishment of a customs
ofllco and the appointment of a custom ! ) offi
cer to represent the Dominion cf Canada at
the city of Omaha , Nebraska. " It Is pointed
out in the memorial that the city of Omaha
Is unequalled In location for the purpose of
such an office , and the commercial advant
ages of the city are duly enumerated. It Is
thought that the shipment of minerals from
Vlctcila lo this city can be reciprocated by
the exchange of other commodities.
The main object In view U the establish
ment of a Canadian customs representative
In Omaha , This would bo a great conven
ience to the traveling public and to the
many Canadians In Onjaha. At other large
cities In the United States the railway com
panies most vitally Interested pay the salar
ies of such customs officers , who , however ,
are under the control of the Canadian gov
ernment. It is thought that such an ar
rangement could bo jnada with the railway
lines doing business.r .between . hero and
