E. ROSEWATER Editor. A assessor in Omaha is an official who does not know that the world moves. —_— Srorerary Foroer Is sald to be greatly injaring him by overwork. In the eyes of the department clerks three hours a day Is hard labor and four hours is overwork Tue shrowdness of Thomas Scott, A NON-PARTISAN SCHOOL BOARD. Only a week remains now until olection, As yet nobody has even been mentioned as a proper person to roprosent this olty In the board of educatlon. The only eftort so far has been among a certain olass of political roustaqouts who make a political pro- festion, and aspire to become mem- bers of the board for purely personal ends, Every friend of our free schools must admit that the political conven- tlons are not the proper places for seleoting candldates for the boards of education, As things are and have been, the party conventions, composed mainly of ward bummere, will seck to force upon us doslgning schemers and incompetent men just because they happen to be active democrats or \active ropublicans. As usual the nom. Jinattons will not be made by the whole convention but by each ward delega- tion choosing one man, the conven- tion as a mere matter of form ratify- ing the choice. This will result In presenting inferlor men, and natarally where two or three good men reside in a particular locallty they will all be cut out because some particular hack from the same ward gets the prefer- ence. BSuch a deplorable biunder should not be countenanced, The schools of Omaha have nothing whatever to do with party politios, and the choice of the Pennsylvania railroad king, does not seem to have been transmitted to his son, Young Tom Scott and four queens ran against Jack Tacker and a straight flash in Philadelphla the other night, Mr. Scott's bank account 1s just $564 000 smaller than it was be- fore the game began. Two buckets full of sloppy flankey- ism were poured over one or two old settlers by Dr, Miller in his sickening decoction of egotlsm In Sunday's Herald, The reciplents of such hog wash are not to be envied by those who came after them. It is almost enough In the language of Beecher to make every old settler wish he were dead, Our navy ocosts the government $11,800 a day, the largest proportion of which sum goes to sad sea dogs on pleasant shore duty. With 2,000 offi~ members should be made from a strict. ly non-partisan and non-seotarlan standpoint, The names of oandidates for the school board are printed on a separate tloket deposited in a separate ballot box, It is therefore easy to avold the mixing of politics with the #chool board. * There is no doubt, too, that the great maas of our voters would prefer to sup- port a non-partisan ticket, What we need 18 concorted actton by those who deslre to keep our schools out of poli- tics, If this large class of our cltizons would call a public meeting and put a good ticket for achool board in the fisld Tue Bee will give it a cordial and vigorous support. Such a meeting ¢an be held within three days. We need not walt until the politiclans have made up thelr slate. If the party conventions see fit to Indorse some of the candidates named by the mass orthodox teachings. Unfortunately for Dr. Newton, he happens to follow the latest researches of modern oriti- olsm which do not sgree with the vlewa of commentators of a hundred years ago. The expulsion or retention of Dr, Nowton in the Episcopal church will be more a question of ecclesiastioal pollcy than of biblical scholarship, In England the liberality of Archbishop Talt pormitted a very wide latitude in tho opinions of the clergy and a large body of men exist In the established church who hold essentlally the same views a8 Dz, Newton, Dean Stanley was a notable example. The question is whether the Eplecopsl church in Amorloa is prepared to allow the same broad churchism which recognizes and even honora independence in religlous thought within cortain vaguely defined limlts, If not heresy hunting is likely to be rather a prolonged occupation as the number of clergymeon who are insisting upon keeping their congre. getion abreast of the latest research and criticlsm, seems to be alarmingly on the increase. GENERAL DIAZ The distingulshed honors which are belng so freely accorded to General Portfiro Dlaz In th's country may seem remarkable and uncalled for to people unacquainted wlith the record of the Mexloan hero. Ganersl Diaz is not only ex-president of the repub- lic, but hels its greatest soldler, its first citizen and its most Inflaential leader, Scarcely 60 years of age he has held every Important pesition within the glft of the Mexican people, and to-day has a personal following la the ropublic which make him arbiter of its destiny. General Dlaz bogan his career when only twenty-three years of age. A young law student he enlisted in the rovolutionary war agalnst Santa Anna in 1865, and won such distinctlon that he was mado brigadier general. When Napoleon sent the unfortunate Maxi- milllanto Mexico as Emperor, Diaz was promptly In the field as a rebel and fought a number of battles with the Irench, He was treacher- ously captured by Marshal Bazstne under a flag of truce sent as a prisoner to Mexico and pend- cers to 8,000 men 1t looks as if a biil | meeting, well and good.

The following is the explanation glven by Lulu, the famous gymnast, of the way in which he mado his perpen- dlcular lesp, It was done, he ssid, by means of a mechanical device. “I stood in full vlew of the spectators on an iron plate about a foot in dlameter, which w ached to a spindle ron- ning down through a framework. This spindle was thrown up a distance of seven fost above the stage by means of rabber spriongs, carrying the plate with it. Thesprings were powerful enough to send my body through the air telliger.t juror Is the man whe never reads the newspapers, TO THE HILLS BY RAIL A Chance for Omaha to Mortgage the Woealth of the Northwest, To the Editor of Tun s, While contemplacing the wonderful growth of Omaha for the past few yoars, and the causes thereof, it oc- ours to me that one thing, at least, has been left undone which ought to be done, and that speedily, to-wit: A connection secured by rall with the Black Hills of Dakota. Many pros- perous people of that region are former residents of Omaha, and the oyes of the people are naturally di- llko a ehot. Another set cf rub. ber bands jerked the spindle back a8 qulckly as it shot out, so that the motion both ways was tco quick for sight. On reaching my dletance Icaught hold of the ropes. It was necessary to pose my body so that it would be exactly in line with the medlan line of the spindle. Oane night at Dablin the mechice was Im- perfect and the spring becaime re- leased before I was ready, throwing me onmy head and shoulders In the orchestra circle. Ifeel as If the earth had suddenly fallen from under me, But there is really no time for thought, Iam at the ropes in an in- stant, I gave up this performance because I grew too stout. One day my bcdy was almost telescoped by the shock. I then set to work to de- vise a machine that wculd enable me to distribute the torce over my whole rected hither as the nearest depot of supplies, but without rallroad connec- tlon it cannot of course be reached. A road from here up the Missourl river to Pierre, thence acroes that por- tlon of the great Sfoux reservation now belng treated for, to Fort Meade and Sturgis, thence to the coal fisids of the Little Missourl, and thence to the Natlonal park, would be one of the best payingroads on the continent. It should have a branch from Stargls via Bear Batte canyonfand Dead- wood to Centrel and Lead olties and another via Deadwood Creek to Ga- lena, Such a road would empty the wealth of tho Black Hlills mines with thelr output of nearly five mill ions annpally, of the immense cattle ranges beyond, of the coal fields above named, equal in quality to Rock Springs and inexhaustible in extent, and of all the rich agricultural river ocountles of southeastern Dakota, dlrectly into the lap of Omaha, It would furnish coal to the mines, to Plerre, Yankton, Sioux City, and all intermediate points, which with the shipmenta of cattle would farnish am- body. The result was a oatapult, after several months spent in making experiments, This machine is very simple in its construction. An iron plane about fifteen feet long In sutpended 01 an axle at a slight angle. Rubber springs are made to act so as to throw the plane forward suddenly into a posi- tlon nearly perpendicular. This movement throws my body, which is lying at full length at the upper end of the vlane, 8o that I describe and arc and alight in a net about sixty foet from the machlne. I was nearly kill ed to owr threo times, The first time I was thrown, I fost all sense of what I was dolng or where I was going. I was utterly helpless, and came down into the not on my head and facs. My head was so cut and bruleed that my halr canis out in bunches, “In London I made the experi- ment of using a mackine much the same u8 the catapult, but suspendedin mid air.

It s perhapa a little re- markable that Omaha, with a popula- tion of 50,000, with 1ts rallroad con- nectlons amounting to thousands of miles, with a score or #o ofcapitalists, who count thelr money by millions and with brains and energy that have become verbial,; has not a single rod of rallroads built by Omaha capl- tal and operated by Omaha men.

Philadelphia Record, March 23, Every day new branches of industry are entered by adventurous wormen, It is tobe hoped, however, that the chosen field of Mrs. Kleine, of New York, willnot be ;invaded at once by courageous imitators. The lady mar- rled a hard-working artisan, who turned over to her all of his earnings. She took a few boarders, and finding this business profitable she coolly told the husband to leave the house, which he aoccordingly did.
