At scene meeting during September the
city council will have to appoint tbo
upervlsors of registration to conduct the
cglstratlon for the fall election ? . The fact
hot the city will not elect a single- officer
oca not relieve It from the burden of
urnlahlng registration officials. There has
> een some speculation of late whether , In
vlow of the scarcity of labor of all kinds ,
hero would not ho connldcrablo difficulty mot
with In lllllng the 2SS positions on the
'cglstratlon boards , and the absence of any
nlk or Inquiry concerning the appointments
a been taken as an Indication that such
vould be the case.
Whether the city must furnish voting
xxUhs for the fall elections Is still a qucs-
lon at lesuo between the city and county.
t the condemnation of tbo old booths by the
Joard of Public Works Is construed to
crmlnato the contract binding the city ,
ounly and school district the field In
lear for n now agreement between the
hroe Interested administrations. But the
ounty commissioners , when last they ox-
ressed an opinion , wcro Inclined to hold

OMAHA , Aug. 20. To the Editor of The
Jco : The dally paper has como to be doomed j i
as essential to American life In Us best con- |
dltlons as the dally mall delivery or rapid
rauslt In municipal car service. But as tho' I '
rapidity of Us succession , so Is the attention
; enerally glvci. to Its Items by Us patrons.
Such ought not to be. Wo are a fust people
of a fast age and generally as selfish as wo
are hasty. There are Items in every Issue
of the dally press which should receive much
moro attention than a passing notice , for
many of thorn , within the space of a few
Miles , contain the basic Ideas of Important
and far-reachtug national , social and re-
Iglous problems. A fo\v such are here
cited from a single Issue , to stimulate , It
possible , a moro careful attention to
uomeutous subjects :
Now that the funds have been raised to
jrlng the First Nebraska home , It 13 con
sidered proper to remark , editorially , that
ho policy so enthusiastically supported was
rom the beginning "wrong and pernicious. "
Why was not the truth of the matter
editorially noticed at first ? We all of us
cringe at the dicta of public opinion , and
'or fear of Us frowna we shirk our known
duty. We all knew , from the beginning , that
the method devised was absolutely wrong
and our duty to God and the public de
manded that we should give utterance to our
convictions. The troops' expenses had al
ready been paid , and the more suggestion
that we would defray the expense of trans
portation was morally Injurious to the
soldier. Ho was no sufferer demanding our
sympathies. Ho should stand on his man- I
lood and courteously refrain from accepting | i
a double remuneration for his services. Nor
should the peopte at largo , through their
agent , the state legislature , be forced to payer
or what has already been adequately satis
fied. Not an lota of patriotism Is sunken In
wltholdlng contributions to a fund now
acknowledged to be Improper and unjust.
Let our future bo governed by the lessons
of the past.
Our vaunted title , "A Christian Nation , "
ought to mantle the cheek of the professing
Christian with shame as he scans the Items
pertaining to the- shirking of .taxes , which
can by no means bo charged to Chicago
citizens alone , but the dishonest and criminal
practice Is everywhere prevalent. "Tho
stream cannot rise higher than Us source. "
No law that can be enacted will avail fufly
to remedy the evil , for so much of personal
property Is of such a nature that U can
readily bo > > liiden speedily and In such
various ways as to elude Its detection by the
wisest and sharpest. If the masses were
honest , the minority , perforce , would have
to be. The millionaire , trust or chartered
corporation do not seek to evade taxation
more sedulously than the small merchant
and the farmer. All classes belong to this ; 1
syndicate. Whence th remedy ? Ask the 1
IS.000,000 professing Christians of the '
United ; States for an evidence of their
Influence In this particular , And the profane'-
aid with their own contributions to the
shortage will place the state ami municipal
treasuries In n plethoric condition without
any attention to other law than wo have.
A girl of 14 wn arrMtcd In the Bluffs
recently for drunkenness and profanity. A
flno of $50 and coats was Imposed , which
was held In suspension during good behavior
on account of her youth , That's all , She
has a local1 habitation. Somebody knows
whero. The vicious and depraved In her Im-
mcdlato vicinity know. Docs any Christian
thereabout ? Does anybody care for that
poor girl' * soul ? The public has been taxed
to pay for her apprehension , arrest and Im
prisonment. From the Item It Is Inferred
she has no parents , relatives or friends.
What of her future and the public' * financial
and moral responsibility therefor ? Any real
Christians In Council Bluffs ? A homeless
and friendless girl of U out In the current
of crime 1 Will anyone do his or her duty
and "throw out the life-line ? "
"Died Intestate , No real property. Per
sonal property , $10,000. " That's all the
notice. That was Bob Ineersoll to whom
the Item referred. What a lesson does dead
Bob teach to us Christians ! It Is far from
n bellttllns thought that wo thus familiarly
refer to him. In his largeness of heart and
philanthropic purposes hd deserves the
plaudits of all humanity. The divine
monitor within him. but which for some
inscrutable reason ho failed to recognize ,
prompted Ihe magnificent generosity of his
being and the pure , unadulterated love he
ever exhibited for his family , a model hus-
Ixind , lather , friend. The recipient of a
princely salary for more than a third of a
century , not a dollar of which came through
dishonest methods , all but what the notice
states , was expended In supplying the wants
of an unostentatious home and In assuaging
the hardships of penury and woe wherever
found. In all proper reason , ought not
Ingersoll dead to bo a greater factor for the
world's good than Ingot-soil living ? May wo
profit by his example.
It Is suggested that the government raise
colored troops for sen-Ice In the tropics , as
auch soldiers made an excellent record In
the civil war and In the Cuban campaign.
They would thus uphold the national honor
and save the white troops from the fearful
slaughter which the climatic conditions en
gender. They could easily bo secured from
the thickly populated region of the south.
In calmly considering this proposition one
Is astounded that It should proceed from a
northern journal. What moral effect has
that Journal put forth during the last quar
ter of a cantury to secure to the colored
population of the south their Just rights of
citizenship under the law and abolish the
reign of terror and mobocracy which has
characterized that territory during all this
time ? Wo can encourage them to take our
place on the dead line while we deny to
them our friendly support In acquiring dis
tinction In the arts of peace and civil llto !
If this bo not a Brutus' stab , where can we
look for one ? If the enemy , the southern
Journal , had made the proposition , It would
bo In accordance with the eternal fitness
of things , but from a professed friend It Is
( sorrowful to contemplate.
There Is no single power In this nation so
mighty for our weal or woe as the public
press. Even those questions which are con
sidered of a purely religious nature , when
editorially noticed by the secular press , carry
a weight with the masses. Including the
ecclesiastical representatives , of far greater
potency than the strictly religious press
and the ministerial army combined. Con
sidering the gigantic power thus wielded ,
of all men the editorial staff of the secular
press should be the most courageous , abso
lutely fearless of public opinion , for , to a
large extent , they fire 'the "moulders of that
opinion. It seems to be'tho general falling
of humanity to be 'derelict In duty. There
are none of UB who-'cbmo ' up to the full
measure of our knowledge or capacity , and
It Is In the hope that all whose eyes may
catch theae remarks may be stimulated tea
a closer scrutiny of the columns of the
press , to a more earnest effort In the per
formance of duty antt a higher regard for
the Inherent rights of man. OBSERVER.
