Tt is to bs a remarkable year for Nebraska—this year of grace 1836—more remarkable, perhaps, than any in her history. All the elements of a prosper- ons development on a magnificent scale are present. A score of railroad exten- sions are under contract Some of these will open up fertile regions of the state hitherto unsettled. Others will penetrate sparsely peopled counties and bring trade facilities to the doors of their ocen- pants. New life, new vigor, and added enterprise will be infused into the state at large by the iron fingers which are steadily reaching out in every direction to grasp the possibilities of a hundred prospering communitics. The tide of immigration which for five years past has been snrging over our borders will probably reach flood during the coming year. ‘The indieations are that | the records will be broken by an inrush this spring which will exceed even that year ago. Every mile of rail pushed across our frontier counties in northern and central Nebraska will be preceded, | accompanied and followed by the home- ttler. Every extension of n other portions will add to the population.

Let Them Build it Themselves. The house military committee has re- ported a bill appropriating 500,000 for the Grant monument in New York. The measure should be defeated, even al- though it is conditional upon the rusing of $250,000 by the monument association. The country at large has already em- phatically declined to lend 1t ance to a purely local tribute to General Grant’s memory. The burden of ereet- ing the monument was distinetly assumed by the New Yorkers and they should be forced to earry it or acknowledge tl failure. For the richest community in the country to appeal to congress to help it ont in completing a subscription list which any western metropolis could have duplicated in half the, time is a disgraceful con- mentary on the grasping parsimony of its citizens. The profits reaped from the general’s funeral cermonies alone would have built a dozen handsome shafts to his memory. New Yorkers wonder at the develop- ment of such western cities ns Chicago. They are fond of criticising the magni- tude of their projects, their boasted en- terprise and their predicted future.

But it dechnes emphaticatly to_tax itself | beeause the parsimony of New York pre- sents the erection of n memorial as mag- nificent as its projectors have planned. A Deserved Rebuke, Secretary Endicott has administered a deserved uke to Lieutenant Green and to the members of the court martial who sat on the case of the signal service pri- vates recently tried at Fort Meyer for insubordination. The insubordination consisted in protesting against the ty anny of Licutenant Green, who felt that his prerogatives as an officer incInded the right to abuse enlisted men in the class room, The privates engaged counsel to spresent thep in the trial, and the court was so incensed at a eivilian interposing in the case that it literaliy drove him | off by their arrogance and discour- tesy. The secretary of war has taken up the ease Dbefore it became n matter of congressional investigation and scores all the parties implicated in a decidedly lively manner. He instructs Gen. Hazen “to express his arave displeasure at the condict of Liout. en, of the signal corps, who, he says, has wanifestedly failed, so far, to com- prohend the duties and responsibilities of | a commissioned officer and to realize that the unse of harsh, insulting language towards men, who, from their pos! could not reply to it strikes at the very root of military dicipline and evid S | of self control, which, if ted in, would demonstrate his utter untitness for command.” The secretary of war *“‘also deems it his duty to reprobate the rude and course manner in which the officers composing the vourt treated the counsel for the accused.

MONDAY, FEBUARY 1, 1886, from unsavory seandal. In the instance noted, the appeal to General Hazen for relief was met by the arrest and trial of the petitioners by court martial for in- subordination, while Lieutenant Green escaped until reprimanded by the sec- retary of war. A Successful Experiment. The experiment of introducing manual training into our public school system has proved a marked success. During the four months in which the workshop has been in operation, the interest of puvils in the study of how to use their hands as well as their braine, has steadily increased. The boys who have been under voluntary in- struction have put in altogether only 100 hours of actual work at the benehes. The time taken has not infringed on the usual hours for study. Bat the result as scen in the rapid progress of those engaged, i their increasing in- interest, and in the commendable work they have turned out are most satisfac- tory. They go far to confirm all that has been claimed by the most ardent advo- cates, of the stem, both s a theoretieal and s a practical study, and furnish strong arguments for an extension and enlargement of the work as an adjunct to the educational training offered by Omalia to its school population. Sofar, the facilities afforded have been confined to teaching pupils the use of drawing instruments and the prac- ticcof mechanieal drawing, the use of simple earpenters’ tools, the manufacture of cubes, hexagons and other ob- jeet forms of solid geometry and the con- struction of cabinet work from seale drawings. The boys have learned the value of tools, how to keep them and how to use them at the bench. This is practical and valuable knowledge t never had any further application. Ey- 'y business and professional man needs such information. Much time and con- siderable money would often be saved if the knowledge of what seale drawings meant and how simple tools were used were in everyone's possession. But the advantages of manual training go fur- ther. The snbstantial elementary educa- tion given will prove of an immense ad- vantage to those boys who desire to enter the trades or e nical profession. They willl have a handsome start over the apprentices whose first lessons must be picked up as Dest they can in the shop or factory. In the training school every step taken under the teacher’s dirvection and advance made is in the line of the h efliciency. It is very desirable that the facilitics now afforded for manual training in the Omahaschools should be extended and in- creased during the year if our training school 15 to Dbe placed abreast of our school system and mada what it can be and ought to be. Instruction in lathe work, in turning in woods and metals should be added to the study of carpentry and joining. More room should be fforded for the shops so that all who wish to join the classes can be accommo- dated. The board of education will be justifled in making a liberal appropaiation for this purpose. It will be money well expended. Mz. GLADSTONE has no desire to shrink from the formation of a liberal ministry, and the queen, however unwilling she may be to smmmon him to Windsor, will ve no option in calling upon the liberal leader to assume the conduct of the gov- ernment. To make any other selection would only be to solidify liberal strength and to ensure the defeat of Lord Salis Dbury’s suceessor. Lord Hartington will weely attempt the task on the base of a coulition foreordained to downfall on the first test vote. The crisis, therefore, resolves itself into Gladstone or anothes appeal to the country, and the latter alternative is too doubtful an expedicnt for vrelief, and so expensive to all concerned, that it will scarecly be Tt may safely be assumed that the announced willingness of Mr. Gladstone to accept the responsibili- ties of office is based on a belief that he will be able to formulate a programme which he can carry through to a success- ful issue. He has undoubtedly arrived nderstanding with Parnell for the ed support of the Irish party on measures of proposed legislation. The it is safe to assume, will not at the out be of such a radical nature as to alienate the whig following. There are indica- tions that the trade policy upon which Mr. Gladstone’s ministry will assume office will be that of land reform and an extension of local government not to England alone, but to the three countries composing the union. local self govern- ment has been for years the bugbear of the English aristocracy. Special legisla- tion has been the remedy for local mis- rule by imperial agentsin which national | distinctions have been intensified, and in the case of Ireland made offensively prominent, By sweeping away the whole system of locul government by bureau- cracy, the field will be cleared from fut- ure action. THERE is every prospect of an exciting session of the Canadian parliament which has heen ealled to meeton February 25th, The government’s policy tow. northwest will be assailed; the Riel mat- ter will be gone over, and the financial policy and expedients of Sir John A. Macdonald will be exposed to bitter erit- icism. Itis far from certain that a safe ority will be found supporting the nt cabinet. On the government side it is proposed to give at least a show the r ocity uptey bill will be introduced, and cert: remedial meas- ures 1ting to landlording in the north- it will be brought in as a sop to that tion. A little tarift tinkering is en pected also. Probably Sir John A. Mac- douald will allow his interest in recipro- city to warm, as he sees chances of suc- cess of the scheme grow colder this side of the border. — A DEMAND now comes from New York for a $750,000 free public library.

The objection is based on the ground that the aceeplance of the medal would be a sug- gestion that our own government has uot sutlicieutly rewarded its recipient.

This is carrying out the plan of the Burlington to make its svstem complete, and following upon it will probaby soon come the construe- tion of a line west from Denver across the mountains. An examination of a map of Nebraska in connection with the dispatch in regard to the letting of contrs for construction, will show that one purpose of the Burlington is to con- struet a perfect net-work K i southern Nebraska.

Urvsses, Neb, Jan, 28.—[To the Ede tor.]—1 was in Papillion, the shirctown of Sarpy county, the other day, Among the magnates whom I there met was the chairman of the county republican cen- tral committee and who is also one of the editors of the Times—a newspaper conducted independently by the gentlo- man afore-mentioned” and by the chairman of the democratic central com- mittee of the same county. we have an example of extremes meeting. Mr. Magney who edits all the republicanism there is in the Times, assured me that ex-Senator Paddock had a_ candidate for overnor in the person of his _nephew, Sam Smith, the cashier of the First N; tional bank of Beatrice. Since visiting Papilion T have met some Beatrice politi- cians, who are m the confidence of Mr. Smith, and they tell me that he has the gubernatorial bee in his bonnet bad, and that he will come to the state republican convention with Gage county solid, al- though a t fight will be made upon him in the primaries., Personally it scems that Mr, Smith 1« not popular, He is austere, domineering and - big-feeling, but his immense wealth, and the innum- erable and suggestive means his bank has for . reaching the voters, will doubtless muke successtul indidacy at his own home. Some nown as the Colby 1ge county politicians, would 1 { savage and unrelenting war upon him, but pecuniary considera- tions and business ties 1 make tho of that coteric foremost among the active supporters of Mr. Smith. Yet, at the same time, a large and respectablo clement in the party will make it as un- comfortably hostile” for him as possible. I might i ly wmention them, but will defer that for some future letter. Why Colby should support him, or why his friends should, is” an unanswerablo commdrum, and is_only explain the grounds of “business.” Not a Gage county politician but knows that Colby would lave been clected judge in 1884, instead of Broady, had the Smiths given him their unqualitied support.
