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. "

If not , then It might be well to know It ,
for the cost of tuition Is Incicasing , whll ;

of his matin studies. The first ten mlnutca

week's engagement at Boyd's yesterday. The
audiences at the matinee and evening per

BISHOP M'CABE TALKS ON POSSIBILITIES
II < MV the HrllKlon of ClirlHl Mn > - He
Slum of n Mitii'n
Life.
"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. Yours , respectfully ,
wSTOLL.

Mr. Qlenn spoke for over an hour on labor

Working together and co-operating. In every

Speaking of politics , Mr. Glenn said the
constitution of the machinists' organization

OMAHA BASE BALL PROSPECTS

ARRANGING ITS SCHEDULE FOR SUMMER
MniiiiKrincnt In I'lKiirlnwr on n Hcrlc

11-illicit Tour of the
, AVe t. ,
The baseball season In Omaha will b
opened tomctlmo during lie early part o
this month. The date has not yet'btcn fixe
and the contesting team has not yet bcci
/ elected , but the management of the Unl
Versity club will have a game on Its ground
In rarly April.
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. "
