Tue Herald publishes the call for the republican district convention. Doc Miller has a pair of republican seissors and it mixes him up badly. If asked how it was done, we would say, Church Howe! AND now it transpires that Brig. General Alexander signed the blank, and put the great seal of atate upon it, and somebody fills the blank out and hands it in to the congressional com- mittee. This lets Alexander out—of the gubernational race. Tue complete and equalized assess- ment of Douglas county shows an ag- gregate of over$9,500,000 taxable prop- erty, an increase of over two millions and a quarter over last year's assess- ment, This healthy increase in the assessed valuation is no doubt largely due to the exposure of tax shirkers and unequal assessments made by Tue Bee, Tug Herald ventures to predict the nomination of James W. Dawes for governor and E. K. Valentine and Church Howe for congress among tho inevitable republican nominations. Doctor Miller generally ventures to predict those things in politics which the Union Pacific managers are anx- ious to bring about. When they suc- oeed, he is a good prophet;but they very often fail you know, The Herald did not venture to predict Van Wyck for senator, did it? Axorner commission is called for, This time Mr. Frye, of Maine urges the senate to appoint a commission that will enquire into the wants of American ship building during the recess of congress, and report back some measures that will tend to the relief of ‘“this great national in- dustry.” How many more of theso <commissions does cougress propose to create? Are not congressmeu drawing pay all the year round, and, why should not be crippled for want of proper en- couragement! In the lauguage of a Chicago votemporary, why don't congress mwve to appoint & commission to inquire into the desira- bility of continuing to elect to con- gress the style of men who are sent there now, they ro- solve themselves into commissioners to Inquire into the needs of the country and devise ‘measures for the relief of every great industry that may THEICROP OUTLOOK. Reliable reports of the condition of the crops in the great agricultural statos are on the whole very favora- ble. Wheat is much better than last year, althosgh not up to the crop of 1880. Rye, oats potatoes and hay are considerable above the average. The most favorable reports of wheat come from Michigan, The crop in that state two years ago was over thirty million bushels, last year it was one-third lers, while this year the crop promises to be full that of 1880. In Indiana two years ago the crop was over 38,000,000, last year about 51,500,000, and this year it will reach very nearly the figures of two years ago. In Kaneas the wheat harvest is nearly over, and the crop is estimated at 80,000,000 bushels, or fitty per cent. in excess of the crops of the last two years. Thers has been a considerable re- duction in the acreage of wheat in Towa, Wisconsin, and in some parts of Minnesota, but in other parts of the last state and in Dakota and in Nebraska there have been large addi- tions to the area. What wheat there is in Towa and Wieconsin promises well. The crop of wheat in Wiscon- sin will be larger than it was last year, but in Jowa it will not be so large. Last year the wheat crop of Towa was 18,000, 000 bushels, or about half what it was in 1880, This year it will probably be somewhat less than last year. In Wisconsin the wheat crop was nearly 18,000,000 bushels last year, a small gain over 1880, and this year it may go up above 20,000,000 bushels. In Illinois the wheat crop last year was 26,822,000 bushels, or barely one- half what it was the year before; this will exceed that of last year, and may amount to 50,000,000, but a good deal doponds on the luck the farmers have in harvesting, for the wotness of tho 7| ground delays the work and compels the cradle to be used instead of the machine in many cases, Nebraska last year produced a little less than 14,000,000 bushels of wheat, and this year promises to go two or three mill- ions above that; the acreage has in- crensed, and the grain is looking woll, ! | excopt in the narrow strip of country damaged by hail. In Minnesota the crop last year was larger than that of two years ago; this year the crop will not probably vary greatly from the 35,000,000 bushels produced in 1881, Corn is rather poor, with very few exceptions. In all localities the corn is very backward, but in many of them it is promising fairly. In a few localities the reports are quite favora- ble, but these are rare exceptions. The corn crop of the United States in 1880 was 1,5637,635,940 bushels, which was a slight reduction from the crop of the previous year. In 1881 the crop fell to 1,194,916,000 bushels. A reduction of one-fourth would cut it down to about 900,000,000 bushels. But it may not be so bad as that. Still the fact remains that last year's crop was a large reduction from those of the two previous years, ard it is certain that this years crop will not come up to that of last year, In Nebraska acreago is considerably increased and the yield will doubtless be much larger this year than last. Corn in Illinois last year was noi much more than half the crop of 1879, and it is almost certain to be much below what it was last year. The same is true of corn in Iowa. Even in Indiana, whero the bad weather has had the least effect, the crop will not be quite so large as it was last year. In all these states the rye, oats, potatoes, and hay are, with very rare exceptions in various localities, un- commonly promising, In most places these crops will be larger than over before. Tuosk interested in timber claims are doubiless desirous to know tho requiroments of the timber culture act as amended, The amended law of the United States in regard to timber claims requires but ten acres to be planted to timber on each quarter section, or a corresponding proportion on eighty and forty acre lots, The conditions are as follows: Five acres on each quarter section are to be broken the first year, cropped the sec- ond, and the additionsl five acres broken, The third year five acres must be planted with trees 4x4, or 2,700 to the acre. The fourth year the remaining five acres, which were cropped the same year, are to be planted in the same manner, The trees are to be cultivated for eight years, when there must be 675 living trees to the acre, This obtains a peiont to the land, Tuk division in our ranks in the Keystone state is only another evi- dence of that independent spirit in the republican party which profers the will of thegeoplo to the authority of a boss. Pennsylvania has for many years been under the arbitrary con- trol of the Camerons. This despotic rule was ostablished by old man Simon, whose son Don, trained in the political camps, iuherited the haughty temper that the habit of undisputed control imposes on human character, By any and all weans he lorded it over the republican conventions, and in the memorable campaign of 1880 THE DAILY BEE--OMAHA MONDAY, JULY 10, 1882 forced the unit rule agalnst the ex- pressed will of the people. Against this deposition, the free spirit of the people, under leaders who have the nerve and brain to conduct the struggle, have rebelled. We want no more Bossism in the republican party, is the clear menning of this so called bolt, We don’t want democrat- 1c success, but if the will of the peo- ple is to be surrendered to the pleas- ure or interest of any man or set of men, then we propose at any cost to vindicate the true voice of the people, This is simply the assertion in the politics of that great state of the prinoi- ples that underlies all republican in- stitutions — v papnliy vor Dei. There are suggestions of a compromise from general Jeaver, who says in his speeches that the door is open. This comes with ill grace from the man who was put up by Cameron to slam the door in the face of the people. The independents will not be likely to accept any propo- sition that is presented in the couplet. They do not confess themselves sin- ners, They are ready, perhaps, to offer a compromise, but it must ex- clude Cameron and bossism, which their gallant work has killed. Any compromise from Beaver is too much like the Trojan horse—the Greek bearing presents. MAYORAND COUNCIL The chartor governing cities of the first class, vests the appointment and removal from office of all city officers not elected by the people, in the may- or and council. While the mayor is held responsible for the proper en- forcement of the laws and ordinances, and the conduct of his subordinates in office, the council share the responsi- bility with the mayor for the good government of the city. The power to appoint is vested in the mayor, but the charter expressly requires [Section 69.] that the mayor shall procure the consent of the entire council to every appointment he makes. This law isin conformity with time-honored us- age and the constitutional limitations imposed upon executive officers from tho president down to the municipal executive, In this respect, the legislative branch of the government has the power to veto the acts of theexecutive just as the executive has the power to veto the acts of the legislative branch. The president, tor instance, may exer- ciso tho appointing power without consulting the members of the senate, and tho senate, at its discrotion, may refuse its consent to the appointment. The discretion imposes no, obligation to explain the reason or motive of any senator for his refusal to ratify the choice of the executive. It is suf- ficient that a majority of the senate, in the exercise of its prerogative, refuses to confirm, The relations of Mayor Boyd to the council of Omaha are precisely those of the president to the senate. He has the right to appoint, and they, when not consulted, very properly may refuse their consent to his choice. But Mayor Boyd appears to labor un- der the delusion that he alone is the government, and that he alone is re- sponsible for the incompetency or in- efficiency of appointive ofticers, Mayor Boyd served in the council several terms, and the records will show that he did not always agree with the mayor or his appointments, In fact, we are almost sure that if Mr. Boyd was councilman and any mayor should tell him that he would appoint nobody that the council desired to support he would get his back up, like a govern- ment mule, and refuse to budge. Now we take it, that the council are just as avxious to do the best for the city as the mayor, and while they may err in some things, the mayor is liable to blunder just as often in other things. There ought to bo mutual respect and good will between the mayor and the council, and that can only be had by mutual courtesy and concession, The mayor cannot undertake to bully the council and expect them to dance to his music. He should not force (upon them appointments that don’t meet their approval, and then hold them responsible for the dead- lock, Mayor Boyd owes allegiance to the same people that have elected the council, and he should respect the choice of the people, 1f he desires tobe respected by the people. The present dead-lock in the ap- pointment of & board of public works can bo amicably adjusted if the mayor will but concede to the council its share of the responsibility, and its rights to be consulted. Of course this doesnot mean that the council shall dic- tate whom he shall appoint, but that he should meet them half way, and endeavor to secure a mutual under- standing concerning the men he pur- poses to appoint. Even presidents have to stoop, They have to consult senators, aud most generally do consult them and procuro their consent before they make an appointment, We say this much bocause we deem it of vital importance that the mayor and council should act in harmony for the best interest of the city. —_— Tue Midsummer Holiday issue of the Century is to have more thun the usual quota of illustrated papers among them two on English subjects, ““The Borderlands of Surrey” will de- scribe one of the most charming gar- den spots of England, and include, among ita illustrations, views of the home of Alfred Tennyson, and of ‘‘Brookabnk,” where George Eliot lived when she wrote ‘*‘Middlemarch.” A paper on rome “‘English Artists and their Studios” will have sixteen pictures of the interiors of the studios of 8ir Frederick Leighton, J.

Vanderhoof, T friends of Mr. Lane are decid- edly indiscreet in agitating the ques- tion of Mr. Lane’s fitness or unfitness to succeed himself as superintendent of our schools, It isnot always pru- dent for those whose places are filled by men of superior ability to insist that reasons are to be given why others have been preferred, nor is it desirable that the clerical friends of the school teacher should seek to in- fluence public opinion in his behalf. The Board of Education believe it to be the interest of the patrons of the schools that a man of more experience and greater exccutive ability than Mr, Lane shall be at the head. With this decision Mr. Laneand his friends have 1o right to find fault. Mr. E. V. SvaLLey, now traveling through Dakota and beyond the lne of finished railway, is engaged in spy- ing out the land in the interest of the readers of The Century Muagazine. He is writing a series of papers on “‘The New Northwest” the first of which, describing the Dakota wheat region, the “Bad Lands,” and the Yellowstone country, will appear in the midsummer holiday (August) Cen- tury. When completed, the series will form a journal of consecutive travel from Fargo to the cascadesof the Columbia, Influence of Immigration North and South, St. Louis Republican. The influence of comparatively re- cent immigration on the growth of the states of the American union has been 80 gzeat that few are prepared to estimate with even approximate ac- curacy., By tho census of 1880, there were in the United States 6,490,784 foreign born citizens, not counting Chinese and Japanese. Of these only 650,000 were in the old slave states. The great disparity between the accessions to population from for- eign lands in the two great sectiona of the country is but suggested by the number of those actually born abroad Tn 1870 there were 5,473,029 foreign born citizens in the United States, and 9,604,608 who weren bor of foretgn parentage. The number in the United States of foreign parent- age in 1880 has not yet been published, But taking the proportion of 1870 as a criterion, and there were 11,500,000 persons in 1880 in the United States born of foreign parent- age. That 18, there were in round numpwers 18,000,000 of foreign born persons and of foreign born parentage. Not above ten per cent of this large accrement of population from foreign sources were in the former slave states, That is to say, 1,800,000 were found in the south and 16,200,000 in the north. In considering the effect of immigration on population, if we should go no further back than to eliminate the foreign born and those of foreign parentage, we should find that of the 32,000,000 native born and of native parentage left, there would be in the sixteen former slave holding states 15,000,000, and in the twenty- two free states and thenine territories 17,000,000 people. These facts seem to show that it is to the tactitious circumstances, to the influx of foreigners rather than to dif- ference of “civilization” or superior climatic vigor that so great a pregon- derance of population is now found in the northern portion of the Union. Considering, too, the influence of pop- ulation on the growth of wealth in new and fertile territory, and the su- periority of one section over the other in this respect will appear to have re- sulted from the same accidental cause, This is especially true with respect to the wonderful growth of northern and northwestern cities in comparison with those of the south. ]"ulll;' one-third of the population of all northern towns and cities are foreign born and those of foreign parentage constitute three-fifths of the people of these ur- ban municipalities. These facts and considerations are chiefly interesting to_those who wish to know the true springs of progress in the United States, and to estimate justly the vigor and capabilities of populations on this continent in widely separated latitudes, and, in many re- spects, with distinetly divergent social and economical tendencies. LANE'S DISCHARGE. His Time Was Up and He Had to Go, That's All. (Communicated. ] Omana, July 8, 1882, Mzg. Eprror :—Having been looking into school matters a little of late years, 1 am somewhat surprised at the course of The Republican, What are the facts in the case! The board of educaticn have not dismissed Mr. | Lane. He was employed by the year, and the position being one to which he was elected by the board, he has no more claim to it than any one has at the expiration of his term. That he was not again elected, is wmerely evidence that a majority of the board were of the opinion that they had found a better man. Supposing that Mr, Lane was grossly incompetent, would it have been a “stab in the back” for the school brard to have elected some one else at the expiration of his term of ofice! No, sir; the board are not to be censured for act- ing as they thought best. And now let us look back over the two years that Mr, Lane has been here, and see if the majority of the board have not acted wisely a8 judged by the opinion of their predecessors. In the first place, Mr. Lane was elected superintendent of the schools by a board consisting of twelve mem. bers, and 80 thoroughly satisfied was this old board, of his incompetency, that I doubt if he would have re- ceived two votes out of the twelve for his retention for another year. This is my candid opinion after having pretty thoroughly canvassed the mem- bers during that year, The legislature, however, legistated the old board out of existence, and in its place a board, consisting of six members was elected Of this board only two members had been members of the old board, the remaining four being entirely new members without any knowledge whatever of the schools. The old members, however, had be. fore them the schools under the direc- tion of Prof. Beals as well as a knowl edge of them under the supervision of Prof, Lane, and what do we find? When the vote for superintendent was had last year both ot these old mem- bers voted against Mr. Lane, while the four new members voted for him. It was not long, however, until one of the members who voted for him was satisfied that Mr. Lane was not the man for the place, and 50 ex- pressed himself, What do we now tind/ Something must be done to re- tain the position. So we hear rumors that Mr. Anderson, who, for some reason known only to himself, (and suspected by others) has seen fit to see nothing to the superintendent’s dis- paragement, and Mr. Lane have laid plans by which to capture the whole school board at the city election Messrs. Long, Conoyer and Thrall must be defeated, How well the plans were laid I do not know, but they miscarried. It is true Mr. Thrall was defeated, but in his place Mr. Points was elected. Now it 80 hap- pened that Mr. Points had beena mem- ber of the board in former years, and being also superintendent of the county schools, he had a practical knowledge of schools, and could form an intelligent idea of whether the superintendent was a fit man for the place. That he arrived at the conclu- sion to oppose him for the position is only another evidence of Mr. Lane's unfitness, as no one in this community has ever yet had any occasion to doubt Mr Points’ fairness, ‘that it is not wise to make many changes in the management of our schools is true, but the last change frof Beals to Lane was so manifestly bad that another change was an abso- lute necessity if wo are to have any schools, Oae other point. 1 have been in- formed that the board by their recent action have wzcted on the advice of many of the teachers and of nearly all the princ palsof the several schools, It is charged that the trouble with Mr. Lane has been that he has cared more for his personal popularity thn he has for the good of the pupils; that to gain this popularity he has lowered the grading, so that children apparent- ly make much more rapid progress while in reality learning less; that he is apparently incompetent to conduct the schools; that he is as variable as the wind. instructing teachers in one way and on_the next occasion giving directions directly the reverse, and various other littlo things not 8o bad in themselves, but of vast importance in the superintendent who has charge of the education of our children. It is true some of the teachers have been very well satisfied, his lowering of the grades and absence of reports having made their work #o much lighter, but I venture the prediction that in every case where there isa teacher favorable toward him aa super- intendent, there will be found a teacher who cares more for her own comfort than she does for the good of the children and the schools, In conclusion, Mr. Editor, I would say that this is written with no ill- feeling toward Mr. Lane personally, and had it not been for the desperate efforts of some of his friends to make it appear that the board of education had stabbed him in the back, nothing would have been written by me. The school board did not even discharge Mr. Lane. He was hired by the year, and when the year expired they simply hired some one else, as they had a right to do. Of Mr. Fitzpatrick I know nothing, but, in the language of one of our leading citizens who is well posted on school matters, he can’t be any worse than the man whom he supplants. This we do know, however: Dlr. Fitz- patrick comes here with the endorse. ment of a re-election to the position he has held for the past five years—a pretty good endorsement. The motive for all these criticisms by Mr. Lane's friends is to raise a breezo in the hope of frightening Mr, Fitzpatrick into a _declination of the position; but as Mr. F. is acquainted with Lane and his methods, it will, as I believe, fail. As I before said, this 18 not written for the purpose of abusing Mr. Lane, but when one member, who stands almost alone in the echool board, sees fit to come out in the public prints in response to a call by himself on himself and impugn the motives of the majority of the board, it is but just that some one should tell what it is that has caused the action of the majority.

The Fast Mail Business Knock- ed in the Head. Rumored Consolidation of the ‘Wabash and Missouri Pacifle. Tt is hinted that the Wabash rail- road company will be admonished not to undertake the operation of a fast mail train from Toledo via Hannibal to Council Bluffs. The admonition will emanate from compoting lines in the Towa pool. These are the Rock Island, Burlington and Northwestern In fact it is surmised that the consent of these lines has been asked and rd- fused; and, morever, that the refusal was accompaunied by a cuggestion that the Wabash had better not disregard the wishes of the pool lines. That probably settles it; unless, as some think may happen, the Wabash de- cides to defy the pool and run the train any way. This is not probable, however. Indeed, no line in the pool could afford to incur the antagonism of its associates in the compact, no matter how legitimate its proposed undertaking. The government will probably find that the railroad pool be- tween Chicago and Omaha is an im- passable barrier to everything not in accord with the spirit and object of the agreement. PURE IGNORANCE, The Times is authorized to state that there is no truth in the published report of the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul railway having been admitted to the Iowa pool. Any one possessing a scintilla of information about rail- way atfairs would know that the ques- tion of the St. Paul's admission to membership has not been mentioned officially in the pool councils, RUMORS OF REORGANIZATION, Rumors are current of probable changes in _the management of the Wabash railway. The stories afloat even hint at a sort of financial alliance of the Wabash and Missouri Pacific lines. It is said by one of the set of gossips that Jay Gould will relinquish the presidency of the Wabash, and that Capt. R.'S. Hayes will be elected in his place. There are enough good, square indications upon the surface, aside from any rumors, to almost war- rant the conclusion thut Capt. Hayes s booked for some part in the Wabash management. It is reasonable to sup- poso that Mr. Hoxie will accompany him. The former enjoys in the highest degree the confidence of Mr. Gould He is first vice- president and chief executive manager of Gould’s southwestern lines, viz: The Missouri Pacific, the St. Louis, Pacific,and the International & Great Northern. Tt is not doubted here, whatever opinions may exist as to the probability of official changes, that the Wabash and Missouri Pacific are to be henceforth operated under a closer alliance than formerly Actual Iron Mountain & Southern, the Texas 7 A NOTED BUT UNTITLED WOMAN.
