Turn On the Searchlight.
Another dark spot under the shadows of the
city hall and court house has been uncovered
upon which the searchlight should be turned to
bring the wholo plot and the plotters under tho
full glare.
Tho Beo has lifted the lid on the big bribery
conspiracy, and Mayor Dahlman has opened It
up n little further. Dut there Is plainly more
yet under cover. ,
For four months the Burns' sleuths, under
pay of alleged reformers, havo been trailing our
public officials trying to inveigle them Into
brlbory traps. How far they succeeded or failed
is not now so much in question as by what
criminal means the Intended victims wero
tempted.
If everything has been on the square, the

Spelling for the Youngsters.
California public school authorities an
nounce the Interesting discovery that 10-year-
old boys have a larger vocabulary than their
parents; that thoy have a working use of from
3,000 to 6,000 words, which Is about the right
number of words, they say, for a school speller
to contain. May we venture to suggest, how
ever, that in the case of the avorago boy some
of these words with which ho is on such familiar
terms might not add a groat deal to the attrac
tiveness or practical utility of the spelling book.
Yet it Is not certain that tholr number could not
bo easily matched by father, if ho Is at all ver
satile and hnJtcr-broko to tho ways of the world.
The Idea, however, as advanced by tho Cal
ifornia school peoplo, to restrict the number of
words in. the speller, say to 5,000, instead of
three times that numbor, as is tho case with
many books, commends itself. One of tho faulty
tendencies of our popular schooling is toward
superfluities and ezcosses. Tho child of 10 has
no business whatever in attempting to learn to
spell 16,000 words. Thpn why sot him to work
with a book of that many? Why not woed
down to such a number of words as ho has prac
tical use for at his ago and let him come to tho
larger numbor ns ho comes to .every other stago
of his development and education?

Even Arbitration a Concession.
The United states doubtless could well afford
to submit canal tolls exemption to arbitration,

be a concession, and arbitration would bo all
that could fairly bo asked as proof of our desire

the United States Is freo to regulate what might
be called purely local control of a canal it built

tho aid of any other nation and which it will
fortify and operate the samo way, aro unable-
to appreciate the force of tho British argument
that England should havo' thtfvolco lh fixing

have been contending for the repeal of or. ox-'

Men and the Church.
On the theory that "an honest confosslon Is
good for the soul," and In a spirit of sympathetic
criticism, let us commend to the brethren of the
cloth and their parishioners two suggestions by
tno Rev. Dr. BalUIy, pastor of a largo Omaha
church, as to why more men are not found in
the pews. Rummage sales, bazars, sauerkraut
suppers and soup dinners distract and disgust
men; says the doctor, who also thinks some of
the pastors too inactive to attract men.. Those
are his reasons, not ours.
Ab to the former, we are inclined to agree
witn mm. At least, everybody knows that
rummage salos, bazars, dinners and suppers
may bo had most anywhere.; one does not have
to go to church for them. The church has a
peculiar mission of its own, but It is hot such
things as these. "When the ohurch goes into
sucn uusinoss," says Dr. Baltxly, - "it Josos
casto." Without passing on that question, it
seems at best a compromise and admission
which no church can afford to make. It opens
way for tho Inference that the church lays on
Its bargain counter tho beat it has, .and that
these frivolities are the best.
The pastor does well to emphasize, as the
one thing that will attract and bold men. an

are the most iilgh-handod and arbitrary
outfit In Omaha today. In order to try
and make a wonderful dollar and cents,
showing they have adopted methods In
conducting their business that any other
business organization, would scorn to use.
They have Insisted upon exorbitant ad
vance deposits from agents and owners;
have refused to supply new owners or
tenants with water on account of the
delinquency of former owners or tenants;
have In a number of cases turned oft
water at various placet with little or no
provocation, and have In practically
every case refused to listen to tho owner's
or tenant's side of the matter, but have
Imply acted as downright cussed and
rbltrary aa possible and Instead of
bclnfr polite, or even civil to patrons (the
people who are paying their salaries)
have acted as disagreeable ns, possible.

BOMBWIIERB, May 17.-To the Editor
of The Bee. The leader of the liberals,
the founder of the party, waa Don Benito
(Benedict) Juarez, a full blood Zapoteo
Indian, born In what Is now the state
of Oajaca, March 21, 1804. He lost both
hla parent, who were peons. Juarez was
12 years old beforo ho could read or
write. His teacher was nn ecclesiastic
who had taken the minor orders, and
belonged to a fraternity of the third or
der of St. Francis. Benito Waa designed
for a priest, but abandoned theology for
the law. He practiced ns a country
lawyer; was elected governor of his na
tive state; served as professor of ex
perimental physics In the government
college; was elected to congress; became
chief Justice of Mexico and ex-ottlclo
vice president. Suceedcd to the presi
dency. Santa Anna hated Juarez and
at ono tlmo Imprisoned him at Vera Cruz
In the fortress of Pan Juan de'UItoa, In
a dungeon under tho sea, from which he
escaped by means best known to himself.
Tho best commentary on the honesty of
this high-minded patriot la that, while
an exile, at New Orleans, he earned his
living with a email cigar .store.
At tho time Juarez succeeded to the
presidency, the clericals .refused to aok-r
nowledge him as president. Michael

Thfs disturbance In Mexico took place
during the administration of our Presi
dent Buchanan, . Notwithstanding the
pacific character of Mr. Buchanan at the
outbreak of our civil war, ho proved
himself extremely bellicose during this
period. The president wished to seize
Sonpra and Chihuahua In northern
Mexico, and hold them to prevent out
rages on our border. Ills recommenda
tions wero not followed by congress.
Sometimes they did not even notice them.
-It la strange now history repeats iiseir.
We are now having trouble with Mexico,
nd also trouble lh Colorado. Then we
had trouble with Mexico and trouble In
Utah. The Mountain Meadows massacre
took place at this., time. A senator said
that the president' had best set hla own
house In order 'before meddling with
Mexico. '
At this time. Buchanan did what was
probably never done .before or since. He
sent Robert M, McLane aa minister to
Mexico, with authority to recognize which

Graveyard of the Sea
Sable Island, Fearsome
Spot on North Atlantic
l
Drrnded by Mariner.
No other part of the north Atlantic Is so dreaded
by mariners aa Sable Island, the region where the
recent survivors of the freight steamer Columbian,
destroyed by fire May 3, put to sea. Tho Island Is
appropriately named and has a melancholy record as
marine graveyard. Located nbout ninety miles
southeast of Nova Scotia, the Island Is a huge sand
bar, created by tho shifting currents of the ocean
aird Itn wind-driven waters. It is crescent shaped.
twenty-two miles from tip to tip, and Is one mile In
breadth at the center.
To one approaching from the north the Island ap
pear a succession of low sand hills, scarcely patched
with struggling vegetation. At the west end an ele
vation bf some eighteen feet rises gradually as one
rocs eastward, until It attains an elevation of about
nlnoty feet near the east end light, beyond which
It slopes away again until It merges Into the north
east bar. At the northwest end the bar extends
seventeen miles to sea.
This darksome isle possesses few natural attrac
tions. There are no contrasts of color so grateful
to the eye of those who have grown weary of limit
less sea and sky. Even the sunshine ot a mldsum'
mer day fails pitifully In atatlng any glamour upon
Its grim nnd ghostly sh -., while, a winter's storm
Invests It with an accumulation of terrors truly appalling.
IjIfr-BnvtnK Stittlctnu.
Sable Island is now almost entirely given over to
tha llfe-aavlng stations, the first ot which was
founded In 1S03 undor the superintendence of James
Morris. The government establishment consists ot
n superintendent and eighteen men distributed about
tho Island, There Is' a main station at the center
of the Island and five or six out-stations, .In which
the men reside. Besides these stations there are two
houses of refuge. In which are huge fireplaces always
filled with wood. Candles, matches and bags ot
biscuits hang on tho -walls out of reach of rats. The
doors of these rescue houses are always simply
latched, and on the Inside are directions posted
telling castaways how to find fresh water by dig
ging In tho sand and how to make their way to thri
inhabited stations. Many a heartfelt prayer has been
offered up In these shanties by the poor unfortunates
cast up by the sea upon this'- somber Isle. At all
the out-statlons there are signal staffs, for tho
purpose of communicating with vessels and the
main station, which Is a crow's-nest, pinnacled on a
mast ISO feet high, from which a view of the en
tire Island can be obtained when the fog permits.
There are soveral metallic lifeboats, aurfboats, life
buoys and rockets, mortars and so forth at the dif
ferent . stations, and a supply of horses Is always
kept on hand to drag the boats and appliances to
wherever they may be needed.
Ocean Current! nnd F.
The guir stream, aner sweeping Detween me
coast of Florida and the Islands ot Cuba and the
Bahamas, runs' northward along tjie American coast
until It reaches the shoals of Nantucket, when it
swerves off to the northeast, and passing to the
south Of Sable Island stretches across the Atlantic
eastward to Europe. Tho cold, lee-laden current of
the north passes out of the Arctic ocean along the
emit coast of Greenland: arid there. Joining With
another current from Baffin's 'tiay, 'sweeps 'afbng the
coast of Labrador to the banks of Newfbondland:
There It meets the north edge of tho gulf stream
and splits In two. One part, from Its greater density,
sinks below the warm current of the gulf stream
and continues Ha southward course as a submarine
current, The other portion, after atriklng tho gulf
stream, turns off to tho west ana' sweeps along tne
coast and bays of the northern continent. This Is
h rirnail r.urrent nf rmvrlners. nnd which, in the
neighborhood of flable ' islandt runs , at such a rote'
an vu wairy men, uub u. w.ci Dvauuiiia vc.w.tj .vj
are aware. ' ''
Then there Is a third current which, detaching
from the polar stream at the south end of Labrador,
rushes through the Straits of Belle Isle, Joins tho
overflow of the St 'Lawrence and becomes the Gulf
of St. Lawrence current. This third current skirts
the cast sldo of Cape Breton, and, passing south,
strikes the westward-flowing portion of the great
polar current In the neighborhood of Sable Island.
Jlere Is the sombre sand heap of Sable Island
lying in the very track .of sea travel. In the midst of
swirling waters, surrounded by entangling shallows
and enveloped In bewildering fogs. Here It lies like
some great monster Polypus of ancient story, stretch
ing out Its tentacles grasping for Its tfrey, while
Insidious currents, sweep circling around It fearful
feeders' to Its Insatiate maw and the roaring break
ers sound an eternaf dirge as they crash upon the
shores of 'this dark and dismal rock and wreck-bound
Isle, where uneasy spirits seem to shriek beneath the
lash of every gale. The "Graveyard of tho Atlantic"
Is the grewsome title which mariners have so fitly
bestowed upon this Isle of constant mourning, for
countless are the unknown dead who occupy the un
marked graves that stud the shores of Sable.
