If Omaha escapes an epidegiic of typhoid fever this summer, it will not be owingto the energy of the city authorities. 15 OMAHA to bo governed according to the wishes of her taxpayers or in accord- ance with the demands of the pockets of her councilmen? This is the question which is brought home to our people by the scandalous defiance of public senti- ment in the sandstono paving job which has been repudiated by nearly overy property owner in the district through which Bill Stout and the Union Pacific proposs to lay their seamy and skaly ma- terial. T capital job begotten by logislative bribery and corrupt trading has gono through another stage of rascality that should make honest ropublicans hang their heads with shame. Every well informed person was awaro that Boss Stout was bound to secure the contract for the capitol building. He bhad the bill drawn to put competition out of question. But the execu- tive officors charged with ~the ro- sponsibility of the letting = were in honor and dnty bound to have some decent regard for the intorests of the state. How did they discharge that duty! Only two hids were presented, one by W. H. B. Stout and the other by Robert Silver. Stout's bid was $41,000 higher than that of Silver but the contract was awarded to Stout. In other words $41,- 000 have been filched from the tax pay- ers of Nebraska by collusion between & majority of the board of public works and the contractor. And this high handed pioce of jobbery was done under the most flimsy pretext and in the face of the remonstrance of Treasurer Sturdevant. The republican members of the hoard constituting the |y majority, have given as their only reason for their action that Mr. Silver was un- able to satisfy them that he owned or controlled the quarries from which the building stone was to bo supplied. Now there is no doubt that Mr. Stout would have supplied Mr. Silver or any other contractor with all the stone he needed to complete the building—if no other quarries could supply it. The main question and the only question for the board was whether Mr. Silver was ready to furnish a satisfatory bond as a guar- anty. Mr. Silver offered a $300,000 bond, with which no fault seems to have been found. In any event Messrs. Kendall and Roggen lay themselves lisble to grave charges of corrupt partiality by their undue haste and refusal to heed Mr. Sturdevant’s appeal on behalf of the tax- PRACTICAL EDUCATION AND THE CLASSICS, i Mr. Francis upon the abuses of a classicad fallen like a The attack « Adams, jr., Charles education has hombshell in educational circles.

They are of vastly less value to any man of af- | fairs than Ge nan or French or Spanish; indeed, the latter are tools without which a man is poorly equipped for the business of life. Furthermore, the knowledge of Greek and s i necessarily sperfi Latin obtained college cour in The students cram to pass exa nation.

And fo acquire this | superficial knowledge of languages of little practical use, our colleges compel their students to sacrifice the best part of their life. Of his own experience Mr. Adams spenks in strong language. He denounces the classical discipline of Harvard thirty years ago as the discipline of the tread- mill. T do not think it was any higher or any more intelligent. So much for what my Alma Mater gave me. In these of repeating-rifies, she sent mo and my classmatos out into tho strife equipped with shields wnd swords and javelina. We were to grapple with living questions through the medium of dead language: But on this point T do not like publ to tell the wholo of my own experic t has been too bitter, too humiliating. I have not been the equal of my peers. It was the world's congress of to-day, and Latin and Greek were not legal-tender there,” Mr. Adams’ oration is a masterly arraignment of a system that does not educate, but immolates. The great aim < co. of our colleges should be to fit students for the work of the world, to tmin them for the duties of life, to equip them for a cam- paignin which knowledge and skillin using it are all conquering weapons. The busi- ness of the modern world requires a knowledge of modern languages. Tho increaso of foreign immigration and of foreign travel overy year creates a new domand for acquaintance with modern Eurovean tongues, But even tho knowledgo of language, tho art of oxprossion, is of far less valuo and importance than a knowledgo of the great facts and forces of lifo and the globe on which wo live. Science to-day holds the key of the most important treasures of knowlodge. Tho mecrets of power, of progross, of comfort, of health of the elements that make man superior to the brute force of the globe are locked in her vaults. A century ago there were 1o #ciences worthy of the name. Fifty yours ago one professor could teach all that was known and all that was guossed at in the whole circle of other sciences. Now vory fow men can koep pace with the discoveries in any single group of the whole number. And it is out of theso that have aprung the arts and inventions which glorify modern life, vnhance the comfort of the people and make the fu- turo glow with transcendent promise. No colloge is worthy the name it boars and the place it claims, which doos not to-day in- its goneral course relogate the study of the classios to tho rear and give its students o thorough, a seiontific and a practical training. SWINDLES AND SWINELE, The defeat of the Holly waterworks ]lrnl‘umihinll when it was first submitted to the people of Omaha, caused the loss pof a million dollars in this city in cash or its equivalent. It cost one outside ringor company organized to defeat it the loss of the water franchise or contract which they coveted, and tho allotment of it to a third, which proved to be such a collossal swindle that it has taken years of time wnd scores of thousands of dollars in the hands of od men of the company to repair | it, and the end is not yot. But what| olse?

Instead of $100 a year the fire hydrants only cost €84 a year. We not only have direct pressur but a system of reservoirs that contain an ample supply of water for ten days, if the machinery should break. But the Holly swindle was not mer an attempt to foist a Cheap John system of water works on Omaha, but it was a high-handed attempt to secure a franchise by wholesale bribery and fraud. Dr. Cushings stub checks, which | Mr. Falconer saw, show thou- sands of dollars paid to lovel-headed councilmen and political knaves of high and low degree who had contracted to carry primaries and elec tions in the interest of the Holly jobbers. It was this method of robbery and knav- cry tha Dr. Miller's coparceners in swindle, aroused the community against the Holly and it is just such a brazen scheme of robbery which the sandstone ring has just perpetrated through the jobbery in the council If the general traflic manager of the Northern Pacific is to be believed, the compuiy will inaugurate a new system in the overland freight business. He prom- ises fair treatment to all parties and no favors to any.

French aggression in Africa, joined to the insolence of o French naval com- mander has created an excitement in England, which on Tuesday wore a war- iko aspect in the house of commons. From the statements of Mr. Gladstone it appears that the occupation of Tama- tive, Madagascar, was accompanied by violenco and insults offered to the British residents and her mojesty's consul. British residents had their houses search- ed and wore placed under guard, and Amorican missionaries were treated with insolence ‘in their school build- ings. The announcement of Mr, Gladstone was greeted with much excitomont in the commons and a de- mand for explanations has been made upon the French government which, it is belioved, will be promptly met by the rocall of the offending naval officer. Min- ister Ferry, in an interview, declares that Admiral Pierre could not have been in- #ane enough to have insulted the British flag and oxpressed himself most cordially in favor of ferreting the matter to the bottom. In the house of lords on Thurs day Lord Granville stated that he had overy reason to believe that France in tended to give ample satisfaction for the unauthorized acts of her agents. | During the past week the commons have been engagod in disposing of a large amount of minor business, but none of the weightier government measures have taken up. The woman suffrage resolution was defeated by a close vote 130 to 114 the channel tunnel scheme has been permanently shelved, and the been ministerial negotiations in reference to | the construction of a new Suez canal have resulted in an assurance of the early be- ginning of that project under British control, The incident of the week, next to the Madagascar affuir, was the roceipt of a letter from Bradlaugh announcing his intention o senting himself to take the o bar of the f commons. This communication was met by a resolution of the house forbidding Mr. Bradlaugh admission to the houses at Westminster until he had agreed not to disturb their proceedings, Mr. Gladstone reminding parlisment that on May 24 they had re jected a plan which would have met the difficulty. The general political outlook continues hazy, with the ministry still aimlessly drifting with the house eurrent. Mr. Gladstone takes pains to say in a recent letter that the Liberal party is not now disintegrating as from 1868 to 1874, when it came in on one tidal wave and was swopt out by another; but the > | demption, by absorbing certain annuitics [ of the bishops to the late et permitting | depositor can draw from his deposit any [ marriage with a deccased wife's sister has | day, provided he gives at least three days 1'a movement in favor of the aboli f the right of the bishops to vote | startes it The | the bishops are frightened.

The ministr; foreign affairs has informed the French chamber of deputies that pacific relations will be maintained with China. But China's objection will not stop the course of France, who is powerful enough to execute her projects in regard to Ton- quin without waging war with China. France demands of China not to embar- rass her action. She proposed subse quently to conclude a convention with hina with a view of insuring respect for their respective frontiers. If China, contrary to indications, should follow dis- astrous advice, the chambers will not hesitate energotically to defend the in- terests of the country. In reference to the reports of French insults to the En- glish in Madagascar the ministry has tel- egraphed to Zanzibar ordering a thorough investigation. Tt is believed that the rumors have been greatly exaggerated. The French chamber of deputies have refused to entertain a motion to grant amnesty to Louise Michel and the Mont- ceau des Mines rioters. James Carey has been driven out of Ireland, not by the men he betrayed, but by the Governmeut which has no further use for him there, and has no wish to see him assassinated. The Irish informer is either a monster of what is called “nerve,” or he is in the hands of an wvenging4ate. He deelined the offer of the English government to send him to some foreign country, and asked only to be allowed to go about his business in Dublin like other citizens. England’s fear that his enemies would put him out of the way if they got a chance met with a response like that of the dying duelist, who, being exhorted to repent and for- give his enemies, replied that he had none; he had killed them all. James | Carey could not be persuaded te leave | the scene of his crimes and treachery, but was finally turned out. The cholera bulletins show no signs of the abatement of the terrible scourge in Egypt. Thursday there were 156 deaths different localities, the large ma- jority oceurrihg at Damictta and Mansu- —nincty-six at the former town and orty-eight at the latter. Friday there were 169 deaths. Damiotta fell off cight, but Mansurah increased sixteen, whlle hine deaths occurred in d new place, Samahoud, thus indicating that the disease is working toward Cairo. Meanwhile it has broken out at Swatow in China and is raging violently, thus the germs of the old epidemic last year still linger in that part of the world, This makes & new point of attack, and one which must be gunrded against not_only to prevent it from acting as a feeder to Egypt but from approaching Buropo from some new quarter. There how soems to be little hope that Aloxahdria will be spared as deathshave oceurred there dur- ing.the week.
