In the main the graded sohools of Omaha will doubtless compare favorably with those of other citics, but our high school is way below the metropolitan standard. Tt is simply useless, and more than useless, to keep up a high'school unless it fully meets the demand for higher educa- tion. ‘It is a motorious fact that from forty to fifty of our brightest boys and girls are sent to castern high schools and seminaries every year be- cause their parents have no con- fidence in our high school as an educational institution. Nearly all of boys and girls would be educated in Omaha if the standard of our high school was made equal to that of metropolitan schools of the samegrade. And there is no doubt that a large number of pupils from the interior of this state and the farther west will patronize our high school just as soon a8 its roputation as a fixs! class insti- tution is established. Tt is simply a disgrace that Omaha, after spending $200,000 in a high school building, has not the dispusition to spend the necessary means for a sufficient num- ber of first class teachers to make her High school course as complete and thorough as that in any other city in tha country. —_—— these New| OTHER LANDS THAN OURS. The passage of the land bill by par- liament has ended the long struggle of the present session, What Mr. Gladstone’s land bil! of 1870 failed to accomplish his wmeasure of 1881 is likelytodo. It guarantees to all Ire- land fairness ot rent, freedom of sale and fixity of tenure. Precisely stated, it provides, (1) That all leases and rentings shall be for a term of not less than fifteen years, during which the rents shall not be increased. (2.) That the tenants, present and future, shall be allowed to improve their farms as much as they please, and that upon the expiration of the lease, if they leave the land, they shall be entitled to compensation for such im- provements, (3.) That the tenants shall have a vestod right of property in the leaso and in all the improve- ments they shall make; that they may sell or devise the same; and that in re- newing their loases the existence or value of these improvements shall not be computed in fixing the future rental value of the land. (4.) That the landlords shall not be permitted to demand any more than a “‘fair and weasonable rent,” and when the owner L Bty e v i THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: SATURDAY, AU ln just and reasonable rent the matter shall be determined by a special land court created for the purpose of de- | termining such controversies, (5.

Blunt. Mr. Blunt, from a careful study of the pilgrims who make Jeddah their land- ing point while en route for Mecca, takes a certain portion of them as a representative of the masses. Here are found TIndians, Persians, Moors, negroes from the Niger, Malays from Java, 'Tartars from the Khantes, Arabs from the French Sahara, from Oram and | dress and zibar, even in Chinese undistinguishable from other natives of the Celestial empire. Mussulinans from the interior of China.” The Turk nearest to Europe, and on that account more familiar to us as o typical Mussulman, forms but asmall fringe ot Islam. Mr. Blunt, counting the 93,250 pilgrims of 1880, | ealculates that they represent not less than 175,000,000 people. The divis- ion of creeds he makes out as follows: Sunites or Orthodox Mohammedans, 145,000,000 Shitites, 15,000,000; Abadites, 7,000,000; Wahabites, | 8,000,000. The authority affirms what has been before this asserted, that the progress of Islamism in Africa during the last hundred y mense. ars has been im- An exceedingly interesting article which appeared in an English review some yéars age, written by a colored man, told of his Mohamme- | dan proselytism. The one great rea- son why the negro takes to the proph- et is that at once he is accepted as a friend and brother by the Mohamme- dan missionary. He says to the ne- gro, ““Come up and sit beside me. Give me your daughter and take mine. All who pronounce the formu- la ot Islam are equal in this world and in the next.” Gambetta is said to have seripusly compromised his chance of an election from his old district of Bellevue. A monster meeting was convoked by his electoral committee to which 12,000 tickets of admission were issued. It was the intention of the great orator to deliver his third and last great electoral oration and to complete his political programme partially unfolded in his two previous speeches. The cablegrams say that the audience was a very different one from that of last Friday. Nearly all who were present wope the garb of workingmen, and the mmty were evidently hostile to M, { Gambetta’s candidature. At half- past 8 M. Gambetta came in by a back door and took his seat on the platform. He was greeted with a storm of min- gled groans, cheers and hisses. Again and again he rose and attempted to make himself heard, but the uproar was 80 great that he found it impos- sible. After half-an-hour'’s fruitless endeavor to conquer the hostility of the public he abandoned the strug- gle ard withdrew in a great rage amid_indeseribable confusion. The violence of Gambetta's remarks have made him hosts of -enemies at Belle- ville. He threw at the hissing and jeering crowd the most abusive ir- sults and threats. ‘‘You are drunken slaves; “you call me dictator,” he yelled rather than shouted, answering the cries of “Down with the' dicta- tor,” which greoted the attempt of his committee to force a Gambettist politic dn into the chair. ‘‘Do you know what you are?! You are drunken slaves, What you are doing was never done by the worst populace. Noxt Sunday the ballot will avenge me on your disgraceful conduct, and then I shall know how to discover you, even if I have to track you to your dens.” The Parisian journals throw the blame of the occurrence on the blundering of Gambettals elec- toral committes and advise him to stand as a candidate for some other district, The system of underground tele- graph’ communication throughont the German empire is nearly completed, the only line incompleted being that which will connect Cologne with Aix- la-Chapelle. The total length of the lines is 3,040 miles, almost the whole being composed of a nucleus of seven conducting wires, laid at a cost of over $7,500,000, The underground lines cross all the great rivers of Germany and unite 221 towns. The paramount idea in this system is the protection of the wire in case of invasion by an enemy, but it yet remains to be test- ed whether success has been effected in preserving the wires from damp and maintaining their insulation. The system was attempted years ago in Eogland, but failed. The well known economy and deliberation prac- ticed by the German government is a aranty, nowever, that this cnor- | mous outlay of money would not have | been incurred in a doubtful scheme and that experimental made before the taken, system tests were | work was under Should it prove a success, the will undoubtedly be adopted in this country, where the present un sightly and decidedly primitive sys- | tem of tolegraph wires would make such a change very desirablo, Castelar, the great Spanish liberal leader, has formulated the republican | programmo. impossible of accomplishment, but somo that can be achieved. Notably it proposes universal suffrage, the ab- olition of slayery, and trial by jury. Sagasta, the present government lender, in the meantime indicates it as his purposc to bring about many of the proposed reforms, The friendly attitude he holds towards Castelar and the more advanced republicans, who are pronounced in their opposi- tion to the extreme radicals, affords no little hope that, with the support of the government, the most urgent of the reforms desired may be effected. Several Scotch landlords have re- cently made important rent reduc- tions, and now it 1s learned that re- ductions have taken place on three of the hest known estates in England. Mr. Gladstono has taken off 10 per cent. at Hawarden, which is the third time he has made a reduction there, the two former ones having beeu 15 per cent. cach. At Hughenden, the residence of the late Lord Beacons- field, the agents have returned 20 per cent., and this is said to be in accord- ance with the late owner's expressed intentions. On the Duke of West- minster’s Faton Hall near Chester, notice has been given that at the forthcoming audit 25 per cent. will be returned. On the pastnre lands at Eaton Hall, as some compen- It includes some things estate, sation for the late flooding, the Duke | has reduced the rent 10s an acre. Never has the present czar of Rus- sin received a moro enthusiastic wel- come than the one which greeted him a fortnight ago in Moscow, the Holy City of his Holy Empire. When he showed himself at the red staircase in the palace, where the ¢ rs have been long accustomed to appear before the masses, the crowd which filled the outer space was enormous, and it cheered him vociferously. From the mayor he received bread and salt, and on a following day, at a reception in the Kremlin, many deputations pre- sented him with the same symbols, as well as with holy pictures and other pledges of devofion. The estimates for the public works at Cyprus for the ensuing year are $160,000, of which $100,000 will be spent in erecting Commissioners’ houses, konaks, custom-houses, bar- racks, and a residence for th6 govern- or. Complaints are made that all these public works are of no immedi- ate necessity, and that more urgency exists for work that will develop trade and render trade more easy. Cyprus at present is in great need of water, and it is believed that $100,- 000 could be most profitably used in the construction of artificial lakes for the preservation of water which now runs to waste and into the sca. Education in Fngland, since the elemontary educational act of 1870 was enforced, has accomplished very satisfactory results. In 1869 the schools under government inspection only accommodated 1,755,944, while they now provide for 4,240,753 chil- dren, The average attendance has risen from 1,152,389 in 1870 to 2,750,- 016 in 1880, and the support increased by the government to $10,650,000 in 1880, The system is, however, far from perfect yet, as a vast number of children, on attaining the age of ten years, are withdrawn from the schools, and it is propcsed to extend the term of cumpulsory attendance at least two years, 1In the salaries of school teachors there has also been a gratify- ing increase. Ten years ugo the ay- orage yearly salary of a certificated master was $483, but is now $606, Lady teachers' salaries have increased from $200 in 1870 to $363 in 1880, and, as a consequence, the number of the latter has largely increased, until the proportions now are 63 per cent of the total number employed. There ave renewed rumors of an al- liance between Italy and Austria-Hun- gary. The latter empire was anxious to comé to some understanding with the Italian government regarding fu- ture acquisitions on the Balkun pen- insula, announcing itself ready to as- sure to Italy an amount of territory on the Adriatic Sea, Trieste and Dal- matia, if no objections were raised to an advance of Austria-Hungary on Salonica. 8o far as known, these se- oret negotiagion have“met with suc- cess, and the present Austria-Hunga- ry winister of foreign affairs, Baron von Heymerle, is said to have ex- pressod great satisfaction with the propoljliunl of the Ttalian government, which are said to involye mainly a treaty of neutrality pending further changes on the Bal- kan peninsula.

The opposition to vivisection isstead- ily gaining strength in Europe. Tt is claimed that vivisection has been bar- ren in its results in adding anything of value to the knowledge of the hu- man system. Cats and dogs have been known to be cruelly tortured, not only by being cut and mangled in a shock- ing manner, but also by being partial- ly baked, roasted or boiled. What, again, is to be said of a so-called sci- entific man who will deliberately nail animals to a table and experiment upon their eyes for no other purpose than ‘‘to show the action of the visual organ.” The system appears to have had no other effect than to blunt the sensibilities of the practitioner and makeZhim indifferent to the sufferings of patients under his hands, HONEY FOR 1HE LADIES.
