LoNpoN papers predict that Mr. Glad- stone’s home rule bill will not be pel mitted to go to a sccond reading. As it will certainly be thrown out in the house of lords should it reach the upper cham- ber an appeal to the country must result, whether it passes the commons or is de- feated in the lower house. Tue St. Joe people have come to the right city to get a correct idea of publi improvements, They will see here a good system of waterworks, sewerage and pavements, and many public build- ings worthy of note. St.Joe isa solid, substantial city, of steady growth, and of great wealth, and it ean afford to indulge in extensive public improvements secing what public improvements done for Omaha, our St. Joe visitors 10 doubt return home full of enthus and with a determination to infuse life into their city by means of public improvements. Tue governor of Pennsylvania has des- ignated the 15th of April as Arbor Day in that state. One would hardly think that tree planting would favor find in such state as Pennsylvania, but the great for- est destruction that has been going on for years has suggested the necessity of replenishing the growth of trees. Itis asserted that the destruction of the Penn- gylvania forests has resulted in the loss of millions of dollars’ worth of property by flood and drought, It is very important, says the Philadelphia Z%Vmes, that the value of a thick growth of trees as a stor- age reservoir of moisture should not be forgotten, because of the notion that planting trees for ornamental purposes and for shade around the house is a fit and complote observance of Arbor Day. The same alls upon every farmer in Pennsylvania 1 forest on such part of his farm as he can devote to this purpose, as he will find 1t a good in- vestment in the long run. PHERE is & complaint made, whether Justly or unjustly we inot tell, that cs has wilfully diserimmated against bidders for curbing and awarded the contract to the Colora- do sandstone bidder at s higher price than the Berea stone was offered, even though the Berea stone was rated at 75 per cent as aganst 85 per cent for Colo rado and 100 for granite. In other words, the board made a rating for the dif quahties of stone, grading Colorado n the top and the Berea stone 10 per cent On that grading the Did stone is still claimed to have been the lowest. Inasmuch as the property owners ave to pay for all the eurbing, they are entitled to the benefit of the lowest bid. That is doubtless the intention of the charter. If the board of public works regards Berea stone as en- tiwely unfit for paving purposes it sho " 80 declare and bar it out. Ln other cities ‘mbero that material has been tried it has fiven satisfaction. It may not be so dur- able for curbing as the Colorado stone, buk that is only conjecture. Haying graded the Berea stone way below Colo- it should have its equal chance iv #he bid ut that grading. Oarping About the Schools. There has been a great deai of clap- trap during the late city campaign in several of our dailies about basement schools and their terrible effect upon the health of school children. The main- spring of all this was personal and polit ical. It was an effory to make a false issue in the campaign, to distract atten tion and create prejudice against mem: bers of the council and the school board The howl about the dungeon basements ised for the purpose of defeating 4 es who had favored the joint construction and occupancy of the new city hall by the school board and the eity officials. Every intel ligent citizens knows, of course, that the question of this joint construction was submitted to the people in November, and ratified by them by an overwhelm ing majority. The board has simply carried out the wishes of the people. en if the members of the board were disposed to divert this eit city hall fund for school buildings, the could not legally do so. Asan investment it is wise and judicious. The board is now paying rent on a building that is not fire proof, and the ymmodations are not one-fourth of what they will be m the new city hall. So much on this point. The so-called dungeon basements are no more unhealthy than the dining-rooms of some of the most aristocratic people in this eity. They are neither damp nor dark. They are really English base: ments, from three to five fect unde ground, and_ in every resp althy as the Western Union ofl able Trust company’s office, and scores of oflice rooms in the city. The din and noise about this “basement outrage' ought to subsided with the election. But now comes the Republican with a charge all along the line about school board extry nee. This charge s in many respects as frivolous as the basement buncombe. Attention is ealled to the fact that Super- intendent James gots $3,600 a year, while the governor of Nebraska draws only 0. A suflicient answer to this 1s that jacks-of-all-trades and straw men such us Nebraska governors have been made of are very dear at $2,500. Outside of logls- lative sessions their time is not oceupied by ofticial dutics six hours a week on the average, and most of them would have gladly taken the job for their board and lodging if they couldn’t have gotten it on any other terms. We are told that there are 141 teachers in the city. Any man competent to supervise them and develop our system of education is worth £300 0 month it he is worth anything. Mr. James' salary is not out of propor- tion to salaries paid here or elsewhere to professional men of high abilitics. As to high salatied teachers we e only to y that the ns of Omaha are wil- 2 to pay well for the best. If they are not getting the worth of their money it i only because the board of education has isted in employing teachers of in- or capacity for the reason that they are backed by people of influcnce or are related to some of the powers that be. If the Republican will assail this system of favoritism we will heartily join with it to break it up. In the past that p: has shown no such disposition. We content to pay the very highest but we are not content with anything less than the very best of teachers that can be had for the mone; As a whole, our public schools will compare favorably with any in the coun- try, and we only hope that with the high salaries paid we shall raise their stand- ard still furth cer THE next meeting ot the board of trade, which takes place on Monday, should be attended, not only by every member of the board, but by citizens who are inter- ested in the development of our manu- facturing industries. Everybody admits that the future of this city depends upon our ability to make it a munufacturing center, ‘The c ity of Denver has within the last year increased the product of her manufactures by twenty millions, and that is the back bone of Denver to- day. While in some respects Denver has advantages over Omaha in cheap fuel and minerals, Omaha en- joys the advantages of cheaper food and have besides the products of a large agricultural region to con- dense. We are now packing cattle and liogs, and we have superior facilities for meat canning, and the conversion of the hides, tallow, ete., into merchantable ticles, which th st of the Mis. sonri is now importing from the eust. Fruit and vegetable canming has been made a suceess at Plattsmouth, Beatrice, and elsewhere throughout the state, and there is no reason why Omaha cannot do as well or bettor. Flour mills, starch fac- tories, and oat meal milis can be operated with profit. The n et is here for their products and our railway facilities are ior to those of any city north of City. What we want now is co- operation on the purt of property owners and capitalists. Liberal donations of Innd and louns at low rates will invite tnrers to locate h Tt is vital now that the business men should come together and devise the ways and means for cncowaging home industry and smull munufactures. GRNE JCLERNAND hecomes member of the Utah commission n the place of Senator Ramsey. If the exodus of saints bids fair to continue at its pre: ent rate, one of the first moves of the board should be to secure reduced from the railroads leading out of & Lake in order to stimulate the movement. Otler Lands Than Ours. The final division upon Mr, Gladstone' home rule bill has been postponed until Monday and the debate is in progress over the motion of leave to introdu the measure to the attention of ament, Mr. Gladstone’s specch is variously com- mented upon by the English journals. Tory London is practically unanimous in opposition to the prineiples which it in- vol The provinees, generally lib in their tendency, approve the principle of home rule, but criticise the details of the measure. It is significant that the leading Scoth papers in their comments draw attention to Scotland’s desire for loeal government. The nationalists are exultant over the radical reforms pro posed while they eriticise various minor propositions, particularly the fiscal fea- tures. There is little hope of the bill be- ing passed to u second reading, although it is conceded that Mr. Gladstone's con- vineing specch has strengthened the cause of home rule in the liberal ranks. The opening of the week will decide the fate of the wmeasure. Meantime the pre- mier is calmly awaiting the resalt, con- scious that he has falfilled his pledges, and confident that the” final veraict of Great Britain will sustain his mensure as the only just and equitable plan that can be devised for the futnre government and pacification of Ireland. *" It would be unfortunate if the Irish question should be overshadowed hy European complications, and yet the news trom the east would almost indi- cate that the patched-up truce between the powers is coon to be broken, and that nothing but war is likely to settle the ef forts toward a peace between Bulgaria and Servi Ru evidently sees a menace to her supremacy in the inde pendent attitude assumed by Prince Alexande: United Bulg: looms up now as a formidable obstacle to a Musco. vite advance rd, and the Austrian amb; 1 uneasiness. A saly would be of advantage o Russin, and many who have olosely watched her poliey believe that behind all the bravado and bluster of the government at Athens there is the assurance that material aid will be had from the eczar. But Berlin has not yet been heard from, and until Bismarck speaks it is difiicult to predict whether or not Russia will carry out ler threat and march her troops across the Danube. e The vote by which the German r tag agreed to extend the anti-so bill for two years stood 173 to 146, fourteen members of the majority prefer red to see the emperor “shed his blood' to having an unjust law re-enacted, the bill would have failed. Its passage will do socialism little harm, for time has proved that its provisions are powerless even to check the politieal activity of the class against whichit is aimed. Had the bill been put to its passage without debate, there is little doubt that it would have failed, but the bitter remarks of some of the socialistic leaders, and the appeals in the name of the aged empere turned the seale in its favor. * wding the disclaimers of King George that ( 0is not sccking war, the warlike preparations of Greece have, it is reported, gone so far that the army has erossed the frontier mto Tur key in advance of the chambers declar- ing hostilities. The little power would have taken this step if she had not been sure of the support of Russia; and if the powers do not set to work to ay 1 outbreak a fow weeks may sce the Eastern question revived in a threat- eming form. It is emphatically stated that sire conquest, but tion of the fronmtier,”’ which, as it mercly involves the taking away from ey a of considerable amount of B . is at once seento be a very simple affair. It may be added in that connec- tion that this rectification is all that Rus: wants in Afghanistan, while Austria ks for nothiug more than this in the valley of the Danube, and England wnts something similar in Egyptand wherever nge appe to be desirable. As the are all made at the expense .y and other states unable to pro tect themselves, it will be seen that the arrangement has thus far been one-sided, and if protests would do any good, the governments of those countries would be justified in entering most strenuous ob- jections to further efforts in this direc- tion. Notwiths * **e For many years Belgium has been a powerful competitor for all other coun- tries in the metal markets of the world, but it her anarchists destroy many more coal mines and iron mills the productive power of the country will be materis!ly lessened and England, Germany and France will be fn a measure relieved of Belgian competition. Meanwhile it is hard to sce anything but beggary or starvation ahead for the thousands of workingmen who have been employed in the ruined industrics of Licge, Charleroi and other places. ¥ The affairs of the Canadian Northwest are not likely to sink into obscurity, even with the vote of confidence in the Macdonald policy passed at Ottawa. There s at present a very bitter feeling at Winmipeg occasioned by an order of the Dominion government liowing ots passed by the Manitoba legislature in 1884, The peo- ple of that outlying province had been promised that after the actual opening it would not be the policy of the Dominion government to discourage rival railroad schemesin the northwest. Aund it was quite possible that this promise was sincerely made, but the fact is that the natural drift of through passenger trade is increasing toward the United States, and it will not do to en- courage these escapes by allowing the provincos to build connecting roads, It is very evident that the railrond syndi- cate has not lost its grip at Ottawa, but the half-breed experienco of last year ought to be & warning to the government not to ignore the rvights of even a poor and humble class. e The eflorts of the queen and her family to please London by a round of public appearances and festivitics will hardly offset the disgust which the continued idle dissipation of the prince of Wules must provoke in the minds of sensible Britons. He is stout and far from young, and he must be weary of the fashionable frivoli- ties in which his life is wasted, but the months and years still go by, and the heir to the throne does nothing to redeem his old reputation of being a dissolute spend- thrift, e he English government proposes to try experiments in tobaceo cultivation in England, with the hope of raising as good, if nota better, article than that grown in this country. According to the opinion of experts, there is small chance of success, for no matter how carefully the government experiments may be made, the proper conditions of climate wre lacking in England and, at the best, only i quality can be grown Virginia and Kentucky need hay fear of competition from the tobacco. 1EBE CoUZINs retains the good will of the administration, and Maj Couzins retains the United States mar- shalship at St. Louis: Myss Couzins is rqally the acting marshal, and investiga- tion shows that fHe éffice is one of the best managed in the éountry.
