The Elkhorn valloy hss repeatedly been disgraced by mlscreants who in the early days secored a foot-hold in Nebras- ka by ways that are dark and tricks that ars vain, The time has gone past, how- ever, when the dog-In-the-manger class can play dictator and rale communitles even when the hocdlum press is behind petents and drones, and ralse the stand- ard of education by employlng none but first class teachers, Right here let us say that there has heen altogether too much favoritlsm In our publio schools, The board should hold the superintendent responeible for his tenchers, but he cannot be made accountable as lovg as inefficient teachers are forced upon the school to please this or that momber of the board. We have frequently been told that teachers have been employed and kept In our public schools who have falled to secure the necessary certificate from the examiners, and in some oases teachers holding low grado certificates have been employed higher grades to the detriment of the schools, This is all wrong, There should be no preference shown, for any teacher except upon merit. No teachera should be employed merely be- cause thelr backers are influentlal or be- cause they are related to promlinent oiti- zons, All things being equal, our own reridents should be glven the preference In employment, but It s notorlous that good teachers from abroad have been ra- jected and poor teachers from Omaha employed on the pretense that it was de- sirable to glve home talent the oppor- tunity to make a living. ——— Sowe fear is entertalned that if the Obeyennes in the Indlan territory should go upon the warpath they would make a break for the north and leave a trail of blocdshedand dovastetion as they didsome years ago, It wlll be remembered that in September, 1878, a party of ninety warrlors, with thelr women and children, all under the leadershlp of Little Wolf, Dull Knife and other chiefs, left the In- dian territory and strack for the north, murdering and plundering as they went. Notwlthstanding that they were followed by cavalry, they succeeded in reaching northern Nebraska, where, In tho vicinity of Chadzon creek,a portionkurrendered to amilitary detachment fromFort Robinson, In Kansas alone these redekins murdered about forty persons. These Cheyennes, unless tfmely precautions are taken, can repeat this rald, and If soccessfol in reaching the northern reservatlons they might stir up the northern Indians sufficlently to Induce them to break loose. It is clalmed that the Cheyennes can muster from 1,200 to 1,500 warrlora. It will thus be seen that immediate actlon Is Important. The first step to be taken is to put a sufficient military force in the field to prevent thelr leaving the Indian territory for the north, and the next thing to be done Is to remove the causes of thelr present discontent, which can be easlly ascertained. If the -presence of cattlemen and cowboys has become ob- noxlous to them they should be removed, a8 they are in reallty nothing but tres- passers, as thelr leases are not worth the paper they are written on, Further- more, it is clalmed that these so-called leases have heen obtained by questiona- ble methods and that the rent is merely nominal, being from two to three cents per acre per annum.

If olemargrine is man- ufactured and sold a8 such, and not palmed off as genulne creamery butter, no one can prevent it, This decleion Is considered satisfactory to all partles. The dairy men cannot complain now that oleomargarine, butterine and other imitatlons must be honeatly labeled and sold for what they are not. On the other hand the oleomargarine manufac- turers whose operations had been entirely stopped In New York will resume business at the old stands,and oncamoresupply the de- mand for their products, But whatshall be done with boarding house keepers who put upon thelr tables the imitation com- pounds and palm them off on innocent boarders as creamery batter ‘‘Oaght they not also to be compelled to place upon the butter-dlsh a label stating what the substance Is, whether it is creawery butter or butterlne?” How- ever, the patrons of boarding-houses, hotels and restaurants may take come comfort from the statement of a proml- nent manufacturer who assures the pub. lo oleomargarine is not nasty stuff, as it hss been called, but purer than a great deal cf the butter sold, and it does not need to be sold as buttor as it can stand onits own merlts, Oleomargarine ls now quoted at eleven and twelve cents a pound in New York, where a mlllion pounds are turned out every weelk, while butter Is held at elghteen cents, Pass the oleomargarine, Tag lot of the Mormon elder continus to be an unhappy one. The grand jury at Salt Lake has just Indicted nine more of them for polygamy. Evidently the Edmunds law is having the desired effect, and 1f the authoritles continue to enforce it as vigorously as they are now dolng 1t may solve the Mormon problem The Mormons are no doubt becoming convinced that the government means buslness and that polygamy must go. Not long ago It was reported that the chiefs of the Mormons were looking for a new locatlon in Mexlco. When they roturned, however, they maintained that they had not been absent on any such misslon, but had simply been visiting varlons Mormon settlements in the extreme south, and had no Intentlon of moving, However, tte public belleved that there was really some foundation for the report of the contemplated removal. Now comes the statement that Brigham Yourg, jr., and Bishop Snow have gone to the city of Mexico where they are said to be In suc- cessful megotiation for large trasts of land, If this is true, and probably it le, 1t is eafe to predict thet a gradual Mor- mon emigration will begin at an early day, and that Moxico will become the home of polygamiste, if the government of that country will permit the practice of polygamy. If Brigham Young and Bishop Snow make purchases of land In Mextco they will of course do #o on con- dition that thero shall be no govern- mental Interference with thelr dootrine of polygamy. —_— M=z, Hendricks, having falled to se- cure the distributlon of federal patron- age in Indlana, has been converted to the civil service reform dootrlne accord- ing to the Ideas of Presldent Cleveland. In his recent speech before the Bay State club of Boston he was very enthusiastic In favor of civil servics reform. ‘It ems a cruel, oruel proscription,” sald he, “towsrds the opposite party, for I know there are honest men among them. I would not to-day, If I conlddoso, take the charge ot thls entlre government away from the opposlte side. They pay thelr taxes, they contribute to the sup- port of the country, they help to fight the battles when horrld war comes upon us, and it {s but fair that they should share in the honors,” Coming from Thomas A. Hendricks, who was until ro- cently an ardent advocate of the li)flul system, this Ia certainly a big concesslon. It would bo appreciated were It not for the fact that with him it is a case of sour grapes, It s wonderful what effect Bos- ton baked beans and New England rum have on a Hoosier statesman, TaERE s a conslderable rivalry among southern citles In regard to the erection of expensive bulldings for the Young Men's Christian assoclations, Atlanta heads the list with a building that s to cost §100,000; Nashville and Chattanooga follow with $50,000 each, and Selma, Alabama, proposes to ralse $25,000, The fover is extending northward, having reached Kaneas city, which Is making an effort to secure a fund of $75,000. Omaha ought to fall into line, and erect a Young Men's Christian Aesoclation bnilding to cost at least $30,000. Such a movement was agitated here some tlme ago, but for some reason failed, Another effort at this time might prove successful. The more public bulldings a clty has the bet- ter, and it strlkes us that there are enough men In Omaha who can afford to eubscrlbe liberally to such an enter— prise. Aur sorts of devices ara resorted to by land seekers to get as much as possible under the varlous land laws. Perhaps the most {ngenious plan Is that which 1s reported from Kansas. A porson who had already proved up on his claim wished to secure another one adjoining his, and on this he put a buildlng and had 1t cc- cupled by his wife, atthesame time announcing that he had eeparated from her and had secured a divorce. A mar- rled woman cannot prove up a claim, but a divorced or single woman can. This plan lsvery suggestive, and will probably be followed by other couples, who can secure divorces for the tlmebelngand after the clalms have been properly proved up they can marry. —e Ir is high time that John McCullough, the actor, should be regarded as a citizen and not as a footlight favorite. His day for mimlc tragedy is over, and his frlends or the proper authorities should promptly seclude him, lest his appearance in some genuine traglc scene startle to indignation those who now know him only as unfortn- nate. In his present state he is a menace to the entire dramatlc profession,—Phil- adelphia Record, It 1s high time that the telegraphing of the dally antlcs of John McOullough should cease, Whether he Is confined in alunatic asylum or not, it Is hoped that the assoclated press and ‘mewspaper cor- respondents will glve the public a rest with regard to McCullough.

A Young Genius Who Shows Re- markable Abihty in Wood Qarving, Owing to the length of the article on the Central school which the Bek published this week, only a ehort mention was made of & youthful scholar who will make his mark in the world, This scholar is Charley Wyman, the twelve-year-old Swede who has exhibited a decided genius as a jack-knife eculptor, and whose excellent worlk deserves especial mention, Charley has been in this country only a short time, he having been born and and reared on a small island in the Baltic sea. In his short residence here he hasproved him- self a bright and quick scholar, in addition to acquiring the langusge, His first work in wood carving was a number of designs which had been given by the teacher for slate drawing. These were very nicely executed, and were followed by the making in wood of a full set of miniature carpenter’s tools and a chest to hold them, He alao constructed wheelbarrows, toats, etc., in_perfect form, Then his sttention was called by his_teacher to the more delicate work of carving leaves, flowers and fruits, His effort in this direction, with only a pine board and & knife, were true to mature. Trom a small piece of black walnut he carved a man’s head, and those who are acquainted with the individual represented say it is an excellent Jikeness, The finest specimzn of his waork seon is a carving from a picture of a boy with his arms clasp lovingly around the neck of adog. It is almost perfectly executed, the features and expression being maryelously cloar, showing that tho artist has an apprecia- tion of the emotions represented by the pic- ture as well as the outlines, A number of mechanical devices have also been carved from wood by young Wyman, ovincing con- siderable genius in that direction.
