SENATOR VAN WYCK is not worrying himself about his fences half as much as some of his opponents who have already storn out the bosom of their pants in try- ing to scale them. Up to the present time the senator’s fences are still hog proot. ATOR LOGAN says he doesn't want 1o be a candidate for any oflics “1 do not want to be is a dubious und com- promising phrase. 1t doesn’t necessarily mean *1 will not be,”” and is not there- fore reassuring to the several aspirants who are profoundly concerned respect- ing the general’s chances.

Em——— Tue American Opera company has not had an altogether happy experience with Checago. When the company went to that city lnst spring it was confronted by social antagonisms which proved seri- ously damaging to it financally, Al though Chicago had never before seen ‘opera so finely presented and render: perous, simply set or olique had ~ taken offense at a fancied slight ana sulk- Aly refused to patronize the entertain- ments. For the same reason u good deal - of dificulty was found in orgamzing ~ there a branch association, which, but _ for the rare zeal and energy of Mrs, . Thurber and Mr. Thomas, would prob- ably not have been accomplished. Now " the company is in another Chicago com- ~ plieation. 1t appears that the manager, or somcone acting for him, engaged Mo- Wicker's theater for the seasons of 1866-7, & higher authority annulled the con- . traet and engaged the Columbia. A y wrangle, with the promise of a t, is the result, and tho chance is the company will again be the loser its Chioago seasons. This is to be re- , since the enterprise merits the measure of prosperity. But if go will not be decent and show appreciation of a good thing, it be found judicious and economical ap it from the list of towns to be d with the visits of the Awmcrican B, Ml | Logan that he h | me | between himself and Murat Halst ) tul five times as large and the popula- Logan and Halstead. Tt is very unfortunate for General s foreed upon the coun- ‘ try a controversy between himself and | the editor of n great republican daily General Logan, like many other public , is aitogether too touchy about the | press and it eriticisms. In the dispute , he will fight under great disadvantage. | General Logan was a brave commander of the union armies during the war and | has beer a staunch republican since its close. But lus record before the war was that of a rabid democrat with | southern pro-slavery He cupported the bills to make Kansas and Ne slave territories, and was a most ontspoken champion of the fugitive slave act. Murat Halstead has recalled these historic tacts under just p tion, and no matter how many thunder- bolts General Logan may launch at his sympathies, raska wocns adversary, he mot undo the truth of history. In along career as an editor of a leading republican daily, Halstead has doubtiess done some injustice to some of the greatest public men, in his zeal for a vigorous conduct of the war or his bitter assaults upon jobbery in the republican party which for years hung around its neck like a millstone. General Logan's controversy with Hal- stead recalls forcibly his quarrel with Pixley, in the national republican conven- tion of 1834, where he mounted a table in his cont s! u kguarded a Cali- fornia editor like a Billingsgate fish- woman. That incident did not raise General I in the esteem of his ad- mirers. Hi wilt on Halstead on the floor of the senate, because the great Cin- cinnati editor rebuked him for throttling the investigation into the bribe the Ohio legislature by Senator Fne's Standard Oil monopoly, will meet with no approval from honest republicans in any quarte A Magnificent Benefaction, There is no fact which better 1llus- es the growth of liberal views and prineiples in this era than the enlarged attention which has been given within o few years to the problem of the higher education of woman, and the greatly augmented eflorts that have by put forth for its solution. One by one the barriers to woman’s opportunity for se- curing equal educational privileges with men hayve gone down before the growth of enlightened and liberal sentiment, until now there remains but few impedi- ments anywhere to women enjoying all the advantages for acquiring the gher forms of education that are vouchsafed to the “lords of creation.” The erust of old prejudices has been broken, aund the ancient faith which hardly more than a generation ago orthodox with the body of educators has become a re- ch. In her right to all the knowl- edge that the schools can give, the ver- dict of the age is that woman is the equal of her brother. In this, as in all other conditions of progress, the United States of course led the way, and this country is mot oanly far in advance of every other nation in the educational advantages afforded to woman, but has gone to lengths which half a century ago would have been thonght almost impos- sible and perhaps even dangerous. There 15 every reason to expect that before the expiration of another decade there will not be a great college in the land where women will not be admitted on a footing of perfect equality with men. It is gratifying to find that the example of this country is finding vigorous emu- lation, and it is not imvossible that an- other generation may find England ehal- lenging our supremacy in this direction. Only a few day o there was dedicated by Queen Victoria a building to be de- voted to the edueation of women, which in respect of its extent, architectural beauty, completeness of facilities, and general material equipment, is the finest institution of learning in the world, the cost of the edifice being over five million dollars. It is ealled the “*Royal Holloway College.” and the projeet originated with the late Mvs. Holloway, who is not to be honored for her magni- ficent benefaction beeause the great fortune which enabled her to make it was achieved by the manufactare of pills that made the name o1 Holloway a household word the world over, Everything has been pro- vided m the construction of this college for the comfort and convenience of the | tion double, while the police foree two hundred and fifty students 1t will accommodate, each one of whom will ave a sleeping room and study to her- self, while its surrounding of gardens and lawns will enable the fair attendants to indulge as opportunity permits in out- of-door diversions. The educational design of the college is cast upon a broad and iiberal plan, It will not be the nursery of aristoeracy nor a school of fashion. It will instruct in the liberal arts, and will aim to equip those who avail themselves of its advan: tages with an adequate knowledge of the needs of modern life and the quahifications to meet them, The course of mnstruction extends over four years, and no student will be admitted under the age of seven- teen, It will not be a sectarian institu- tion, and in short will in all respeects, if the design of its originator is carried out, be conducted agreeably to the advanced and progressive views of the age. Every friend of education, and particularly of the higher education of woman, must feel a deep interest in this splendid addi- tion to the world's institutions of learn- ing, and will sincerely hope that those charged with its government will have dom to see und achieye its highest About Time to Let Up. 1t is getting tiresome, if not sickening, to bave Mayor Boyd's jackdaw chatter- ing from week to week and month to month about Marshal Cummings’ respon- sibility for every disturbance, assault, burglary or murder that happens in Omaha, or within two miles of it. The recent streot car robbery in the out- skirts is now charged up to the marshal. If Mr. Boyd only had his own sweet will about the chief of police, Angels would be marshals and sluggers would be angels. There are people in the com- munity who remember when May Boyd did have a marshal after his own beart, Was there less erime in Omaha then?® Is it not notorious that more peo- ple were knocked down and robbed, wmore burglaries committed, and more general disorder in Omaha than at any time since? But Omaha to-day is not the city it was five years ago. The territory. covered is THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: has not been materially increased. Mr Boyd’s jackdaw denounces the marshal for failing to dispatch detectives after the car robbers and insists that Cummings could, if he was only competent, put a stop to all raidson property and persons Where are the detectives to come from when the marshal hasn't a dollar at his disposal for such a purpose? How could any marshal know just the exact spot in the suburbs of the city, or, for that mat ter, in the business center, where some foot-pad or slugger lies in wait for a vic tim? Are not the papers filled with re- ports of robberies, burglaries and pett crimes committed in the largest Ameri- can cities, where regiments of police on foot and on horseback are re-inforced by regiments of private patrolmen? It is nothing uncommon now for peo- ple walking in the parks of the large eit- ies to be wayiaid and robbed and the most mysterious murders and burgiaries occur every day in Boston, New York, Chicago and other large cities. Last week fivesafe burglaries took place in Fulton market, New York, in a block pa trolled by police and only a few doors from a station house. Any family or cit- izen in Omaha to-day is exposed to less danger from the lawless classes than in the largest cities in the country. There is nol a houscholder in New York, Philadelphia or Chieago, who feels safe in leaving his shutters open at night or his door unlocked at any time of the day. Sneak thieves walk from house to house carrying off clothing from the halls. Pickpockets by the hundreds walk the streets and infest the retail shops un- der tho very moses of the police. In Omaha hundreds of houses have open doors all day and at night people sleep very soundly and safcly without inside shuttersand iron bars, Fora cuy of 75,000 people with such a small police force Omaha will compare favorubly with any other American city. To ma Marshal Cummings responsible for what little erime does take place is sheer mal- ice and political clap-trap. Not a Cheering Outlook. It is reported from Washington that the congressional democratic campaign committeeis notin a very sound and healthy condition to enter upon the fall campaign which contronts it, and which will call for ull the energy and vigor that he democracy can command. The com- mittee is ulmost destitute of fund the promise of enriching the tres not regarded as flattering. Thus far it lias been unable to employ any regular clerical force, and this work has been done by men detailed from the depart- ments after oftice hours. The democratic clerks in the public service have offered contributions to the committee, but these have been declined as conflicting with the civil service law. The men from whom liberal contributions should come have not presented themselves and there i they will. Itis this s which led a wromi- nent member of the committe to remark a few davs ago that “at present things look mighty blue.’ Of course the party managers will not permit their national com- mittce to rTemain in this forlorn and impecunious condition. As soon as congress adjourns there will be a tre- mendous effort made to gather the “‘sin- ews of war” and to push the campaign with boldness and vigor. Nevertheless, the present situation is signiticant of the demoralization that vrevails among the dnnmcml»_m. Washington, and is worthy of regard as suggesting the difficultics the party must encounter before the people. It cannot be doubted that were the party entirely harmonious, without factional divisions among its representatives in congress, the leaders working shoulder to shoulder for a common end, and the admimstration enjoying the confidence and support of the majority of the demo- crats in congress and the country, there would be no complaint of the national committee being unable to prosecute 1ts work for want of money. It would not only have an abundance of means, but all the enthusiasm which a and confident party could inspi But such is not the ease with the dem- ocracy. The party has beon at war with atself ever since the present administration came nternal contentions dily grown more bitter, 1ts fa implacable. In acer d leaders have fought each other upon almost eyery leading question of public policy, acting together only upon a proposition that car- ried with it the condemnation of a cardi- into power, and its have ste nal poliey of the democratic administra- § tion. ‘I'ne country has seen a democratic vresident and secretary of the treasury pleading for a consideration of their views by the representatives of their party in congress, only to have their ap- peal thrown back into their faces by an overwhelming majority. It has scen the pledge of the party to give the people rovenue reform defeated at the beck of an arrogant factional leader, and it has witnessed the exceptional fact of the ex- ecutive being compelled to condemn the extravagance, the folly and the negli- gence of his party friends in congress by an array of vetoes but little exceeded in number by those of all the presidents who preceded him. This is the record which shows the ex- tent of democratic demoralization, and for winch the party must answer to the people. No party was ever more heavily handicapped by sins of omission and commission, and it is notsurprising under the circumstances that its national committee is penniless at the treshhold of a most important campaign, the result of which will go far to determine the mnmediate future of the party. Only those who have little faith in the intelli- gence of the people can seriously dount what tueir verdict will be on the party which, with every advantage on its side, has mude such a record. — Ir is to be regretted that Mr. Powderly, who 18 quite generally believed to be & man ot good common sense and honest in- tentions, should oceasionally stray so far from these conditions as to warrant a doubt whether he is really a man of well- balanced judgment and sincerity of pur- pose. A little while ago, in addressing some workingmen in the east, Mr. Pow- derly referred to the militia as a barrier standing between labor and capital, the apparent design being to mcite a hostile spirit against the mi nd the whole spirit of the remarks being of that dema- gogie sort which those desire to re- t the man would not expeet from ss bottiesblowers at Atlantic aying thatthe hoped tosee the day when not a drop of any Jiquid would be poured from « bottle not made in America and by Amerjean workmen, Mr Powderly told his audience that any bot- tle ht into his house does not go bac and inferentially advised that other men ought to destroy bottles that came into their n. Now this simply puerile, and it Mr, Powderly goes on proclaiming such unmitigated non sense as this it will be at least charitable to believe that overwork has impaired his intellect. It is hardly eredible that even bottle-blowers could he influenced by such obyious absurdity as this, and it Mr Powderly delivered limself of such stuft’ with the idea of strengthening his m to the support of mtelligent workingmen in Pennsylvania we have no doubt he will find that he has sadly misjudged them It is remarkabie how few men there who can keep level-headed under even a very little boom. — Tuge ignoramus who ir ines that the political montebanks and railrogue ring- sters who edit bantling papers in Ne- braska voice the sentiment of Nebrask republicans, will find themselves woofully undeceived before the crops turn from green to yellow.

They do not seriously believe it.

E Notwithstanding the 10 per cent advance among Fall River spinners, they complain that the advance in wages has decreased their earnings. The southwestern strikers have nearly all been scattered.
