rYArATTA TJATT.'V AVIl.fT. K 1SO7 WAR HISTORIES FOR SCHOOLS Instilling Sectional Passions at the Foun tains of Learning , PARTISAN HISTORIES NORTH AND SOUTH The Prnlilcm of Kilucnllonnl Futility of the SiicllliiK ( Jrlnil ImiircoInK Yon nit Mlnd - Kilticntlonnl Note * . School historic * of the civil war ore likely ( o undergo a radical change of tone In the near future. That which Is taught In the Mtithorn schools Is said to bo distinctly partisan. The union cause Is belittled , whllo the confederate side Is glorified. Nor Is there any indication of a change for an Impartial history of the rebellion. On the contrary , the Confederate Veterans' asso ciation li actively fostering the partisan Bplrlt , andi has caused to bo prepared and published so-called histories colored to suit the cause for which the south battled. These lilt-torlcs have boon accepted as authorita tive by many southern school boards , and their acceptance and use all over the south Is likely within a short time. The spirit manifested oy tba south has reused a like spirit among veterans of the union cans ? . Under the auspices of the Grand Army , a dlstlnctlva anti-rebel history for schools Jiaa btcn written by Prof. J. II. MoMaster of the Unlveutty of Pennsyl vania. The manuscript Is now being In upected by a committee of the Grand Army In Chicago. This comn.ittee has also In- fcpcctcd all histories now In the public schools , and all are condemned as Injudi ciously exaggerating the qualities of con- fcdetato leaders. The Grand Army at Its encampment em phatically declared that the southern generals orals should not be condoned for tholr con ncctlon with a movement which sought the overthrow of federal government. In other words , It docs not wish to have General Lee depleted In American history OH a hero , but as a revolutionist. P.-of. McMaster , ex plaining the scope of hl work , saU : "In thte history the great southern gen crala In the civil war ar not condoned. I admit all the good things that are said of General 'Lso nereonally , but ho must be re garded as one who sousnt to disrupt the government. No matter how great his gcn- rralshlp and heroism , they should not blind the historian. " The Clilcago Tlmee-Herald deprecates the project of the Grand Army. "Bring to getlier. " It says , "representative soldiers , educators and statesmen of both north and Eouth In conference on tno subject. " This body should select a commltslon of experts commanding the confidence of both Edi tions , who would superintend the prepara < tlon of a new school history designed In Ha treatment of the war period to do ab solute Justice , . If that be possible , to both BjOcs , or at least to so handle the subject us to sooth ? prejudices , extinguish hatreds teach mutual respect and , above all , tc safeguard the future against the perpctua- tlon of sectional passions. The Springfield ( Mats. ) Republican en dorses the Times-Herald suggestion , and says ; "The Injury sometimes clone by school histories In perpstuatlng national or sec tional prejudices cannot be overestimated. We well know the part school hlstorleis have p'layed In keeping alive the American hatred of England. But it Is Infinitely more Im portant that the north and south should bf > thoroughly reconciled than that England and the United States should be. The north and south must live together under the eamo government , the same ( lag , and for ever cherish the Idea that the republic Is one and Indivisible. The future Is of more consequence than the past. The past Is dead , the future llveth. We must build for the coming day and the breaches must bo hermetically sealed In the foundations of the national unity. " "Is It Impossible , then , to prepare a his tory which shall tell the facts without arous ing the passion of the southern youth by branding General Lee and Stonewall Jack son as traitors ? Cannot a history be written which shall do. justice to the valor , the sincerity of both the combatants , which fihall recognize the conflict as. one of op posing civilizations , without harahly Im puting blame to Individuals who are the mere" creatures of their environments , al most latoms In the great movements of the world's' progress ? Itft such a history , above a'll , be written with the living future In mind , and leave the youth to form his preju dices , If ho will , from the complcter works which he may turn to In his maturcr years. Make the first Impressions historically broad and calm , so that the youth of south and north lay ever after regard each other as brothers of one country , one flag. " ' WAST13 IX I3DUGATION.

" "From present Indications the course will ba covered In four , If not In three , years. There are two classes of scholars attending school , The flrttt Intend to end their educa tion after having finished the courw of the public schools , and the second Intend to go to college ami to other higher Institutions of learning. Should both these classes be given the eamo education in quantity and kind ? If not , then It might be well to know It , for the cost of tuition Is Incicasing , whll ; the qualifications of teachers are being i raised. The cost of an education U growing In these days to an extent little realized.

Since then at Intervals his morning picture Is changed , not too frequently , for a child demands reiteration , until the boy h s become - come a small connoisseur In famous palnt- InRs , and his occasional short visits to an art gallery are a great delight to him because of his matin studies. The first ten mlnutca of a child's day are a most valuable re ceptive period. The young brain Is re freshed by sleep , unoxcltcd bjr any of the day'o occupations , eager for Imprcnalons nnd peculiarly responsive to their Influences. A writer on child-study conilders that equally Important with the first waking lioura should be the last of the day. The mother who sits at her little one's bed as the tired , small frame Is settling Into repose will almost Invarlbaly find that the mind Just before sleep worka with unusual , If brief , clearness ; she will bo wise to let this last , strongly Imprinted Impression b * a soothing one. A gentle voice , a short , easily comprehended tale with no sadness , no trag edy , no sharp elements of any sort , will oend the temporarily keen .but succumbing faculties off Into slumberland under the best and most healthful auspices.

The audiences at the matinee and evening per formances were large and enthusiastic. "A Regular Fix , " which was the bill , Is a very good comedy , seemingly a little above the average repertory audience. . The special ties were pleasing to those present. A good special feature Is the trlograph , which Is no longer a novelty.

"At a rate of Increase of C per cent a year thj 30,000,000 living Christians could convert the 1,470,000,000 non-Chrletlans In the world In sIxty-Hx yeaia and the trillion- nlum would be here , " paid Bishop McCabe yesterday morning. "If wo were faithful those llttlo boys there would bo able to see the appointed time by the time their heads are gray. " Bishop C. C. McCabe , who Is far better known aa Chaplain McCabe , was In charge of the pulpit at the First Methodist church. Ho preached the sermon t both the morn Ing and the afternoon services. Both were listened to by big congregations although the weather was of a very disagreeable char acter and would ordinarily have tended to keep people away from church. In his morning sermon Bishop McCabe made a strong plea for more active effort upon ; the part of Individual Christians in the work of converting sinners. In brief , he set out that God accomplished "great rcnults through humble Instrumentalities , but no matter how lowly the Instrument was , hoer or she was expected to Increase In the courro of n lifetime many fold. It this proposition was fully worked out by Christians , the bishop maintained that It would be o ques tion of but a few years before the arrival ol the millennium , when the whole world would bo converted. In pursuing this line of discourse the preacher cited a number of scriptural In stances wherein the lowly and the meek are the principal characters. He stated , too , that If the history of the world were properly written It would be made up of the deeds of the lowly Instead of being , as at present devoted to the works of great generals , phil osophers , Inventors and other men of prom inence. Ho maintained that the fact that the lowly were God's chosen people wafl typl- fleJ In the person of the lowly Ilabo who was to be the savior of the world. As a result of this reasoning , the preacher of fered the moral that humility should be ani must be the basis of Christianity. The bishop dwelt at considerable lengtli upon the necessity for Christians to be more active In the propagation of their doctrines. He Mid that If the members of the cliuich should ret about to cultivate the talent thai waa given them It would be but a short time before the entire world would be con verted to the faith. He computed that , just as an Insignificant sum of money grows to mammoth amounts In a length of time al the rate of C per cent per annum , the work' would be entirely converted In sixty-six years If the Increase was at the same per centage , that Is , It six persons were con verted every year by each 100 Christians. This computation was based on the statemenl that there are at the present time 30,000,000 Chrlrtlans and 1,470,000,000 non-Christians living. The preacher lamented the fact , however , that no such progress Is being made. He ascribed this to lack of fidelity on the parl of the members of the church. Ho exhorted them to do better In the future. As an ex ample for encouragement ho mentioned the csae of the mother of the famous John Wesley , who struggled to bring up a family of fourteen children , but whose reward was In having raised sons who had brought thou sands and thousands to the Lord. He also spoke. In feeling- terms of the Methodist mis sionary , John Butler , who had established ' the missions In India and In other partfl o ! the world , anf had converted thousands i CONCCUMXG LINCOLN'S Mlntnkfn Idea of the Clty'H Solvency IN Circulated In the E LINCOLN , Neb.April 3 , 1897. To the Ed ' itor of The Bee : I hand you herewith an article Just received from an eastern In vestor , clipped , he says , from the Commer cial Bulletin , 'Boston ' , of March 20th. This , you will observe , states that the supreme court of the state of Nebraska has decided against the validity of $500,000 worth of the outstanding bonds of the city of Lin coln , Neb. So far as I can learn , from Its earliest history no bond Issued by this elty has ever been questioned In any court. The writer of the article doubtless had In mind the case of Bryan , et al , against the City of Lincoln ( Northwestern Reporter , vol. 70 , page 251) ) . The validity of any bond lesued or outstanding agalnet this city , was not questioned In this proceeding. The facts In the case are as follows : There waa , at the general election sub mitted to the qualified voters of the city of Lincoln a proposition to Issue bonds to the amount of $534,500 , to refund outstanding bonded indebtedness of the city. When the vote was canvassed , It was found that a majority of jll the votes cast on the proposi tion were In favor of the Issue , but the num ber of. votes cast In favor of the proposi tion was not a majority of all the votes st at that election ; that Is , there were , as Is usual In such cases , a large number who failed to vote upon the bond proposition at all. On canvassing the rote , the city coun cil held that a majority of those voting upon the bond question was all that was neces sary , and declared. the proposition carried. The council then entered Into an agreement to sell the bonds to Mr. 13. B. Stcphenson of this city at a stipulated price. The suit above referred to was brought In the dis trict court of Lancaster county by William Jennings Bryan et al to restrain or enjoin the mayor and council from executing and delivering the bond.3. The supreme court , held that a majority of all the votes cast at that election was requisite to effect its adop tion. The proposition not having received that number , the execution and delivery of bonds was perpetually enjoined. The ques tion of the validity of the gold contract was presented , but was neither discussed nor passed upon , the court holding that this point was not essential to the determination of the case. The enclosed clipping has been copied , or Its substance repeated. In nearly all of the papers in the east , doing great Injustice and Injury to the credit of the whole state. We ere Hooded with letters and telegrams from anxious Investors throughout New York and Now England , Inquiring not only concerning Lincoln city bonds , but seeming to have the Imprecfllon that this state Is liable , at any time , to repudiate all Its municipal obliga tions. In view of these facts , I think the press of the state should put the facts be fore the public.

The principal base ball games during the coming year will be played again under th auspices of the University club. Despite th fact that this arsoclatlon In the past has hai a support from the Omaha public that ha : been decidedly discouraging , It proposes ti go ahead once more and arrange for anothe : echedulc of games. The schedule Is fitlll In very Indefinite form , but It will Include a number of games with anntcur and pro fcsslon.il teams from abroad , In preparation of the opening of the season the ground on North Twentieth street will bo thortlj put Into shape. They are at present In gooi condltlo-i and require but little trimming1 to have them as good ns could be desired. The team during the coming year will sc but few changes. The corps of pitchers , as last year , will Include Jclcn , Lawlcr am Robinson. ' Hayce will catch , Abbott will bo on Hist , McAullffe on second and McKtlvj or Jimmy Trail ! on third. Owing to the facto that Tommy Crclgh 111. now at the Unl vorslty of Nebraska the position of shortstop Is not filled yet. Frank Crawford and 1'au Hruigland are both able to hold It down. The outfield is about the same as last year Crclgh and the two Clarkes , Gordon ant Henry , will be here In the summer and wll probably play In some of the games. II Is the Intention of the team to take an extended trip some time during the lattei part of the scsson. The plan was broachei last year ; but so late In the season that I rould not bo properly noiked up. Thla year however. It Is said to bo almost a certainty that the trip will bo made. Some of the rail roads have taken hold of the matter am have agreed to do all they could to brlrg the scheme to a realization. The proposes trip will extend all the way to the coait Games will bo played In San Pranclsco Tacoma and Portland and other Pacific coas cities. Ttcre will be games also at Inter mediate points between this city and thr coast. The team Is figuring on making th < trip some time during the early part o August. South Omaha News. Political meetings were held In every ward in the city yesterday except the First ward. All of the candidates and their friends put In full time working among the voters. The fight Is on In earnest now , anil thcro will be no let-up until the closing of the polls Tuesday night. A number of the republican city central commlttcemen got together during the afternoon and went over the ground thoroughly. Reports from the different wards were listened to and the opinion prevailed that the entire republican ticket , with possibly one or two excep tions , will be elected. In connection with statements made In an uptown paper yesterday regarding Can didate Kelly and the livery stable keepers , ono member of the committee said that there was absolutely no truth In the article. Last fall when there was a fignt 'on at the republican primaries the leaders of ono faction deputized Mike Mnrkeson to secure from the local livery stables enough carriages and carryalls to convey voters to and from the voting places. When he vis ited the stables the next day Markesou a found that every vehicle that would run haa been engaged by the opposing faction. There was nothing for him to do but to ' go outside of the city to procure carriages , 'UHi which ho did. Kelly had nothing to do with hiring the rigs. Ho did , however , protest to Markeson for noi employing home conveyances , and censured the com eh mittee for allowing the opposition to en ehvt gage all of the vehicles in the city. "All of this talk about Kelly wanting to bo mayor , " beef said another member of the committee , "Is rot. I know that Kelly has no political aspirations and would not be a candidate for mayor If he was sure of election. In the first place , Kelly has no time to devote to active political life , aud In the second place ho lias no inclinations that way. We bad hard work to get him to consent to run for member of the city council. This is clearly a case where the ofilco seeks the man and not the man the office. How dif of ferent it was with Walters. His own party ofV. did not nominate him , but he pushed him V. self Into the race via the petition route. Walters says that he Is anxious to get Into the council again In order to look after ! h the Interests of the First ward. That Is vl ' some more rot. Ho wants to get back into the council to look after the Interests of li the combine which had control of affairs liwl ' hero during 1S94 and 1895. "Kelly lias pledged himself to look after the Interests of the First ward to the best ev"T of his ability , and ho has agreed to put a "T stop to this thing of railroading bills , claims and franchises through the council. If It is possible to do it. " Whore tlie Stock COIIICN Kroin.
