Miss Conz!ns has shown herself to be ashrewd politiclan and an inoffensive partisan, Ir has been generally supposcd that the democeats of Ohio would ‘renominate Gov. Hoadly to run agaln in opposition to Judge 'Foraker, but Gov. Hoadly posltively declines to run, as his private business demands his attentlon. This will'compal the democrats to look around for an available candidate. The declina- tlon of Mr. Hoadly will probably ba re- garded as a polut in favor of Mr, Foraker. JPoSTMASTER SANTEE, of Niobrara, sgainst whom charges have been filed with a view of having him removed, has knocked the wind out of his opponents. His affidavits to the effect that he voted for Cleveland and owns an intereat in two democratic newepapers has made him solld with the administration. He ought to be given two postoffices—one {or each of ‘his papera. ‘W= have been told three or four times that Mr. James Creighton has beon called into court to prove his charge that the Republican was a rallroad organ, The associated press has also been utilized to advertlse Mr. Creighton as a libeller and slanderer, but up to last night he had not been served with the libelsult papers, and we shall not believe that-such a suilt is to be brought until legal notice has been given him. Tue constitution requires that the statutes shall be published wlthin sixty doys.after the adjourament of the legis- Iature. It Is now nearly three months since the legislatureadjourned,and yet the statates have failed to appear, and the probability is that we shall not get them before next fall. This s certainly an unwarranted delay in an important mat- ter, as the new lawsare In great demand. Hardly a day pssses without .some ques- tlon arising which can only be aettled by referoncs to the statwtes pastod by the last legielature, Ir s decldedly amuelng, if nothing else, for the Omsha Republican at this lato day to ask anybody in or out of court to believe that 1t has not been a rallroad organ.

Is it any more strange than that the detectlves, in order to create a sensa- tion, make a reputatlon, and reap a blg reward, should put up a job on Smith? Such things have occurred before. Did not detectives put up a jop to have ‘the Nebraska state treasury robbed, for no other purpose than making a reputation and getting a reward, all at the expanse of their misgulded victims, who would never have thought of sach a thing had not the detentives proposed it and led them on. The methods of detectives are sometimes rather strange, and the true friends of Mr. Smith should glve the subject carefal conslderation and investigation, Perhaps he has been more sinned agalnst than sinning. Furthermore, was it right to allow him, even if he did make the propcsal, to pro- ceed 80 far? Wounld it not have been more honorable on the part of the detec- tives, the Insurance sgents, and others proof short of half a million dollars. But even If 1t could be erected cheaply without objectlonable features, Jefferson equare Is not now and never will be cen. tral enough for a city hall. In locating the clty hall the main object should be public convenicnce and safety, Every largo city aims to have the clty and county buildings as near together as they can possibly be placed. In many citles the oclty and county buildings are under one roof. They should have been 80 In Omaha, It would have been chesper and much more convenient to have had the court houee and city hall in one building. The next best thing to having them In one building is to have them as the sites are now located, op- posite to each other., Thls was the main object and purpose of the city council when it made the trade for the Paxton ground. It was the understanding where- by the board of edacation entered into the compact to contribute $25,000 to- wards the city hall bullding The board never would consent to a change of location. It would pur- chase a lot nearer to the business center and erect its own building rather than move to Jefferson square. If put to a vote to-day the locatlon opposite the court house would receive seven-eighths of the vote of the people.

This will enable every man to get in his vote, and the small number of votes being easily counted there will be less apportunity for fraud. Provislon is also made for the manner of making the returns, The second law le- galizes and regulates the primaries. Whenever the executive .commlttee of & political party decldes to hold its pri- maries under this law, then the party is bound by it. This is similar to the prl- mary election law of Colorado. The third electlon law provides for pepaltles of fine or Imprisonment, or both, for failure on the part of electlon officers to perform thelr duties, All these measures wers adopted by a very large vole, belng fa- vored without regard to party. It ls evi- dent that the legislature of 1llincs is con- who knew what was going on,and thereby in a way making themselves partles to a conspiracy, to bave checked Smith be- fore he had virtaally committed himself to the crlme? It would eeem that the buslness of detectives is to a considerable extent the putting-up of jobs, rather than the detectlon of men after they have committed crimes, JEFFERSON SQUARE. Citizens Interested in property around Gefferson equare and along Sizteenth street have filed with the clty courcll an aplnion, prepared by Judge Lake, to the effect that Jefferson eguare may be.occu- pied for any public use which the mayor and council may ses fit to make of it.

Ever since the famous Comstock lode began to dwindle down to an ordinary yield, the state of Nevada has gone back- ward, Mining camps and towns that were once prosperoas and populous are now mere hamlets. Even Virginia Clty, once the llvellest mining town on the Pacific alope, has become more than half depopulated, while property, once held at & fabulous price, can now be had for a song. Thestale has net now more than 60,000 people. Itis owlng to this re- markable retrogression that Nevada has been termed a ‘‘played-omt” state, and politiclans have maintalned that she ought not te be entltled to the repre- sentation of & atate in the national legls- Isture, but should be deprived of her atatehood, 1f It were possible, and attached to Californla.

The first experience of the Amerioan cit- izen of to-day Is In the pablic school, If he be arich man’s 8on, his classmate may be a child of poverty, but the fine clothes of the one do not help him up if he be a drone, nor the patches of the other keep him down. 1t Is a matter of surprise to those in- terested in school work that parents and guardians should pay so little attention to the public schools. When 1t {s consldered that the teacher spends more waking houts with the chlldran intrasted to her care than do thelr parents, and by the close relationship which he or she bears to tham and thelr dally work, shapes thelr lives for good cr ill, the carelessness of the vast majority of parents in this direction, cannot eaeily be accounted for. The board of educatlon, the sup- erintendent and the teachers all are anx- lous to see and know the parents of the children who attend thelr echools, and we are sure that a vislt to_ the schools would bs as entertalniug and instructive to most of the parents as It has been to the Bek reporter. Yesterday theround include Jackton and Leavenworth schools. THE JACKSON SCHOOL is located at 1217 Jackson street, and is a small frame bullding of two rooms, presided over by Miss Ada E, Schoon: maker, who is ably assisted by Miss Stacla Crowley. The average attendance of pupils during the year has been 70, there having been no material increass durlng the sshool year. The reporter arrived just before the school opened in the morning, and the children’s morning exerclscs were gone through in a manner highly creditable to their principal. The interior of the rooms at this school are a delightful contrast to the exterior, ls the two teachers have done all within thelr power to render them altractive and pleasant, Only primary children attend, and this lsolation from older children was a point upon which the ladles in charge were particularly en- thusfastic. Brought only in contact with children of their own age, the little ones required far lets watching and were un- der much better control than when in- fluenced by the example or tyranoy of older ones. It was here that the BEn reporter took his first leeson in the sound sys‘em which fs now taught in all our city sobools, and he marveled, as do all who watch its worklogs for the first time, at the simpliclty and thoroughness. Rosa Hickstein and Lulu Seran hesd thelr teacher’s list of promotions, and Roea Hickstein, George Koch and Lowell Adalr have not been abeent during the term. THE LEAVENWORTH SCHOOL at the corner of Leavenworth and Seven- teenth streets is a large, handsomo build- ing, constructed with an especial eye to the needs of cur modern educational syatem, and provided with every conven- fence for school work.

Andrew Patrick, nine years of age, wrote for the reporter on his alate a little eketch of a story which he had read in the Bee, and the reporter copled it verbatim, as follows: Iread in the Bee about two small boys playing on their father's farm in a great stack of hay. Their father was sowing seed on the other side of the farm. The larger boy six years of age and the other four, The oldest boy went in tho house to get a match, The boy struck the matoh, He did not know that his little brother was climbing up on the other side, The boy set fire to the hay. Great flames camo up, He looked around for his brother. Then he went around on the other side, He saw his brother full of flames. Ho sprang up after him and caught him around the waist, and was lifting him down when_he stumbled, and now was full of flames. Ho rolled out of the fire with his little brother in his arms. He ran into the houee and wrapped a blanket arcund his brother, Ho put the fire out. The boy lost his own life for his brother’s, Adolyh Lindquest aleo presented the Bre man with an Interesting account of the storm which wrecked his father's building, and it s to be regretted that lack of space forbids its publicatlon.
