While Omaha is crymg for sprinkling carts, Pittsburg is calling loudly for life peeservers ARIZONA papers are urging the re- moval of General Fremont from the governorship on the grounds of inat- tention to duties. Bex Butier says he hasn’t been in Albany, but from all his experience he believes that in politics money makes the mare go. REecENT statistics give London 3,- 814,571 inhabitants, a gain of 17.2 in ten years, New York has gained 28 per cent. in the same time. Tt is difficult to get at the truth of the Albany investigation business. It remains an open question whether Bradley was the briber or the bribed.

[Before many years the people will compel every road to be built, stocked and managed in just this way, Ir Postmaster-General James con- tinues with his retrenchment pro- gramme he will make the post office department self-sustaining before his term expires. He is applying com- mon sense and business principles to the work he has in hand, and the fig- ures show that he has already reduced the annual expenditure over $1,000, 000, with no injury to the public in- terests. In the past ten days he has effected a saving of $190,000 in tho star route service alone, and $935,000 altogether since he took charge. The estumated receipts of the department are $39,578,789, and it is believed they will be exceoded, while the appropria- tion is $40,055,432; so that only §1,- 376,043 saving in expenses will make the department self-supporting. As $1,000,000 have been already saved and several hundred thousand dollars wore are provided, there is every rea- #on to hope that General James will succeed in putting the department on paying basis betore he yields up his office to a successor. NO COMPROMISE ““Compromises with factions in a po- litical party. where a principle is in- volved, are the very essence of folly The offer to conciliate the defeated faction, defeated hecause in the wrong, is an abandonment of the very princi- ple which enabled the winning faction to triumph. And by the virtue of this fact the section of the party which was lately a faction, has become the party itself, and is entitled to dictate its policy and wield its power. To allow the defeated faction to dictate the policy or name the party standard bearers is to surrender the first fruits of justly won victory, Tt is equiv- alent to an admission that the late contention was a mere scramble for place and power, devoid of prineiple.” . This compact enunciation of a polit- ical truth formulated by the Chicago Tribune hits the nail squarely on the head. Tt should be indelibly graven on the memory of Nebraska’s United States sonators who were both elected as the representatives of great prin- ciples. Five years ago the people of this state were arrayed into two opposing factions, On the ‘one side were massed the supportersof a political dy- nasty, founded upon the corner stone of jobbery and public plunder, allied with and supported by the most pow- erful railway monopoly on the conti- nent.. On the opposite side was the element that demanded, first, the ele- vation of #he public service to the high plane of competency and integrity; second, the emancipation of the people from the domination of rai! ~d kings, and lastly, & radical change in party machinery by the abolition of existing abuses in the primaries and conventions. These were the issues of the sena- torial campaign of 1876-7. The lines were closely drawn, and the rank and file of the victorious faction that elected Alvin Saunders to the senate was imbued with as much unselfish devotion to great principles as were the men who enlisted in the anti- slavery agitation. Thousands of the men who battled with us against the cohorts of Jay Gould and Hitchcock, braved every discomtort, exposed themselves to the most bitter persecution, incurred the loss of profitable patronage, or worse, the loss of employment. They made these sacrifices because they were sincerely attached to the principles and reforms which the anti-Hitchcock clement was pledged to bring about, and because Nebraska had been de- graded into a mere province of Jay Gould, ‘When this element of the Republi- can party became victor in the elec- tion of Alvin Saunders it became de facto the party, and upon Mr. Saunders as its trusted representative devolved the sacred duty to fulfill its pledges and carry out the principles which had secured pupular endorse- ment. |' Nearly five years have passed, but the pledges of 1876 still remain un- fulfilled. Some of the most flagrant abuses which we denouneed during that campaign, have continued with- out abatement. Some of the most disreputable scallawags and bum- mers atill oceupy positions of responsibilty in the service. Some very incompetent and untrustworthy men have been honored witk impor- tant appointments, The wishes of railroad kings are more frequently consulted than the wishes of veterans whosg loyalty to the principles repre- sented in the election of Senator Saunders had been tested on a hun- dred political battle-fields, This sad state of facts is mainly due to the disposition of Mr, Saunders to compomise with the defeated faction. OMAHA'S SCHOOLS. The work of the year in Omaha's schools is drawing to an end. The commencement season is approaching, the annual reports will soon be made ready, and the buildings will shortly be closed for the summer vacation, The work of the past year in our public schools has for the most part been well done, The records show an increased attendance, and, we believe, an increased efficiency in methods of wstruction, Particularly in the pri mary departments, the faithful work of experienced teachers and a com- mon sense system of instruction have made themselves felt in a raising of the standard and in the increased in- terost taken by the pubils in their studies. There has been greater har- mony in the corps of instructors and more general satisfaction among tax payers with the conduct of the schools than for a number of years past. Al of these results are matters for general congratulation and speak well for the future of our system of public instruc- tion, Omaha is justly proud of her pub- lic schools. She ,contributes gener- ously toward their maintainance. Every movement towards an increase of thewr efficiency and a common sense raising of the standard of instruction will bhe wel- comed and encouraged by our citizens. What our people demand is that their children shall be given a thorough education in all that will best fit them for becoming good mem- bers of society and valuable alike in the state and family. Our common schools cannot fill the places of colleges and universities. Ttis not intended that they should. Their sphere is limited to imparting an education which, of necessity, must be elemen- tary, even in the branches taught in our high schools. But while literature and science ¢an barely be touched upon, they should be taught, in so far as they are taught at all, in a thorough manner. A knowledge of the eloments of scientific knowledge, is essential to every well-informed American, and should be furnished our children at the expense of the community, to the oxclusion, if necessary, of a mass of superficial knowledge in which they can never become proficients, and which lies outside of the sphere of public instruction. Aside from her public schools, Omaha may well congratulate herself over the successful operation of a num- ber of private institutions in her midst which are doing an excellent educa- tional work, Creighton College, Brownell Hall and a number of other schools which might be mentioned are worthy of all encouragement as]filling a gap in the educational field and pro- viding facilities . which our public schools ought not to be expected to furnish. The recent commencement exercises of Brownell Hall and the ad- mirable exhibit made of the year’s work in that institution, shows that Omaha parents, who seek a higher ed- ucation for their daughters than the city furnishes, need not go away from home in their sdarch, ‘With such school facilities as she now possesses, Omaha is fully abreast of any other city of her size in the country. It will be the duty of our school board and citizens to see that in the future she retains her present position, Tue Pall Mall Gazette sounds a note of alarm over the speculative craze which is now at its height in England, Tt claims that every secur- ity which was at a heavy discount, has been bought up by speculators until there is mothing else to lay hold of. The more experienced operators on Almost from the day of his election he has yielded one position after the other in a spirit of compromise—and compromise in this as in every similar instance has been an abandonment of principle. Five months ago another great po- litical battle was fought and won. The faction that had been ingloriously dofeated in the olection of Alvin Saunders, was again overthrown in the election of General Van Wyck, In the four years that had followed the election of Mr, Saunders, popular sentiment had been thoroughly aroused to the dangers that threaten the London Stock Exchange, unable to sée their way clear, and believing that a collapse must come, have long since withdrawn from the specu- lative whirl, but the excitement still remains, and prices con- tinue to advance. The banks have carvied huge deposit and loan ac- counts for the stock operators, and these accounts, particularly the latter, keop swelling, until now, when set- tling days come round, the money market becomes fidgety and the rates stringent. At the last settling day the pressure was so severe that the the country from the arbitrary exac- tions of railway corporations and their political misrule, Elected as a promnent anti-monop- olist, 1 opposition to the candidates championed by the ruilroads, Senator Van Wyck bocaue the representative of distinetive principles. It is mani- featly Lis duty to give thess principles vitality in every appointinent and by his vote and voice, But at the very threshold almost from the day of his election, he is appealed to for compromises by the defeated faction, At every step he takes he hears the plea for harmony through concessions and compromises. With him as well as with Senator Saunders, Tue Bek enters a solemn protest against every compromise as a breach ef faith to the men who elected them, Every compromise they make is a step backward, and every con- cession they make to the monopoly faction, robs of i of their m‘f’.’,‘..,’::"‘v'fw,."“fv':‘.‘; coty iso they make lowers them in the esteem and confidence of their constituents, Bank of England itself lent $10,- 000,000 to the outside market. The Gazette that while no one cau predict when the crash will come, yet all things tend to that conclusion, The amount of stock ‘‘floating” on the market increases at each settlement and speculators are increasing their borrowings, fortnight by fortnight, in order to sustain quotations, If England was not so closely con- nected, in a commercial sense, with the United States, the subject would not be of 8o much importance to our people. Since April 80th the New York banks have increased their loan- able funds $43,000,000, which is largely due to the demand for loans for stock speculations. The specula- tive craze in Wall street is hardly less marked than in London. When the strain becomes too great the bubble must burst and the whole country |p will feel the effeet of the final crash. — Tue safe arrival in'St. Louis of the 30,000 bushels of grain shipped from 8t Paul down the Mississippi zn route to Liverpool seewms to provs the entire THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: ATURDAE} JUNE 18,1881. availabity of the river route to the sea board.

LITERARY NOTES, A Complete History of the Christian Re. ligion to A. 1., 200, by Charles B. Waite, . M.; C. V."Waite & Co., Chicago, 111, publishers; price in cloth, [$2.50; sheep, $3.50. Professional Thieves and_Detectives, by Allen Pinkerton; C. C. Wick & Co., Cleveland, Ohio; cloth, $2.75; sheep, 5 Camell's Magazine of Art, for Jun The publication of the revision of the new testament has been followed by a new interest in the subject of the origin and history of the sacred writ- ings. One of the most important and at the same time the most interest- ing of recent works on the subject, is Mr. Waite’s history of the Christian Religion, which is certain to produce a sensation in the theological world. It deals with the books rejected by the council of Nice, and throws a great deal of light on the first and second centuries after the birth of Christianity, The author makes a bold attack upon orthodoxy and fortifies himself with the results of years of study and in- vestigation. In it's tone, Mr. Waite's volume reminds one of the famous at- tacks made by the Tubingen school of critics some years since. At the same time the essay is calm and dis- passionate in tone. The facts are set forth in regular chronological se- quence, and no authoritios have been rejected without most careful investi- gation of their claims, In his peculiar line Allan Pinkerton stands alone as the author of thrilling sketches of detective life. Perhnfiu the writer to whom he might best be compared is Emile Gaboriun. Mr. Pinkerton’s storics have the advan- tage of being stories drawn from real life in the experiences of the author. For twenty-five years he has been en- gaged in unravelling the webs of great crimes, and his narratives are always thrilling, because they are simply revelations of facts which have fallen within his personal knowledge. Of all his works, ‘‘ Professional Thieves and Detectives is undoubtedly the most exciting, and is destined to have the largest sale. Mr, R, Noack is the Omaha agent, MAGAZINES, Cassel's Magazine of drt for the cur- rent month is a remarkable number. The first transcripts we find—the vil- lage schoolmistress and her little class playing ‘‘Hen and Chickens” at re- cess ; and over aways ‘“‘The Queen’s Shilling,” another past time which has called a group of children to the green in front of some farm houses—lead on the fancy, and one forgets the present in the life and movement of the pic- tured scenes, But there is much that comes to stay in the instruction, de- scriptive and otherwise, in the long June number making it one of the best we have yet seen. In fact, the fine paper and typographical beauty of the work, which fit it so admirably for binding, outside of its necessity to all interested in art, make the magazine very cheap at three dollars and a half a year, GENERAL NOTES, Mr. Julian Hawthorne has written a novel called ‘‘Fortune's Fool.” The Western Christian Advocate makes a plea for one dictionary and a common language.

Lessing, according to a German writer, was an inveterate chess player and loved the game above all others. Two of his favorite competitors were Moses Mendelssohn and Lavater. Out of his love of the game came the fable of the “Knights in Chess,” and the choes scene in ‘‘Nathan the Wise" is said to have bean derived from an incident in the play at Mendelsohn's 01 use.
