Like Joe Jefferson’s last drink, it won't count.” Dx. ! MiLLER pretends to be horror- stricken over the possibility of the sub- mission of a prohibition amendment, of which he has no fears. His real anxiety is that o railroad republican may not be elected to rattle around in the senatorial brogans of Charles H. Van Wyck, ‘Wo are opposing Van Wyck’s candi- dacy in Nebraska? Every railroad at- torney, every legislative corrtuptionist, every republican barnacle whose fidelity toparty only ylelds to his fidelity to bribe money, every relio of the old monopoly regime, both republican and democrat, = who desire to see a pliant {ool of the corporations in the United States senate from this state. T Pun horrible discovery is made that Senator Van Wyck’s Washington house is: better than Mr. Gere's Lincoln resid- ence, and that on this account he ghould be disqualitied from a re-clection. Sena- tor Van Wyck's Washington house is no better than a score of houses in Omaha and stands tenth rate among Washington homes. 1t is unique mmong senatorial housos on one account. 1t was built with the senator’s own money, every peany of wwhich was honestly earnod.

What istrue of Farnam is true of Douglas, b noy and Dodgo strects. Lot us make start with Farnam and the others will follow suit. mm——— AwmoNG the old papers in the connty elerk’s office mn Freehold, N.J., is the death sentence of a negro named Cuwsar. 1t reads: **Therefore the court doth judge that thou, the said Cwmsar, shall return to lace from whence thou camest, and thenece to the place of executio: when thy right hand shall be cut off and Dburned before thine eyes. Then thou B be hanged up by the neck until 4 art dead, dead, dead; then thy body ghall be out down and burned to ashes in _ mire, and so the Lord kave meroy on thy ? Cwesar.” “Jorsey justice” of the P duy seems to have maintained ity of its primitive stock. The Poor Farm Sale. Althongh adyised by the county attor. ney that they had full power to el the poor farm without anthority people, the eounty commissione submit th the next election {to be confident of porty botter propos uring tho! if lamation eall le of th property farm be used in infirm It au und into to f a connty hospital for the insan of the city lots and blocks, its apprai disi itizens and its public s to the highest bidder for cash, the price in no to fall below the o uation. These conditions oby part the objections made gainst the sale of the proy fully ricd out they onght to secure for the connty a fair return on its propert, The only suspicions point is the requir ment of cash down. It scems to us that the connty eould have better afforded to make tho terms a third cash and the balance on three years' time, dispos- ing of the mortga when the money was needed. With sueh terms bidding would be more spirited, prices higher, and eapitalists with a large amount of ready cash wonld be foreed to compete th purchasers of smaller means, The cash provizo will restrict the bidding i give greater chance for combinations to keep down prices. Wi h this exception the proposition on its face is a one. It will doubtless carry by a large majority. The county needs a hospital badly, and an insanc ward even worse. The sale of the por- tion of the poor farm whichit is proposed to put in the market will prevent the necessity of ealling for bonds. At the same time it will improve the remainder of the property and g ly iner its value. Those School Conundrums. Mr. Long, of the school board, w not far out of the way when he referred to Mr. Blackburn's catechism of school chestnuts as in alarge degree “consisting of mere buncombe ealeulated in a great measure to draw attenticn to Mr. Black- burn,” A great philosopher once re- marked that any fool could ask questions which it wonld bother a sage to answer. Mr. Blackburn’s conundrums have not even the merit of novelty. Five of them ask for information in regard to the free- dom given to children in one ward to a tend schools in another. In a gra school system in & city of the Omaba it is impossible to a grammar school in ard. At present our povul tion desiting the higher sccondar education 18 seattered and pupils in the higher grade classes are often obliged to scek instruction at schools more or less distant from their homes. We have 810 pupils ia our high sehool. To round out Mr. Blackburn’s enquiries he should have added another asking why pupils from the First and Sixth wards were allowed to attend school on Capitol hill. The re- vival of the basement room scare was uncalled for ana nidiealous. The school basements are no more ‘‘basements,’ properly speaking, than nine-tenths of the dining rooms in brick residences i Omaha. Eight rooms of this class all told are occupied for school purposes, and they are as bright and dry, as cheerful and healthy, as could be desired. A Dbasement from sIx inches to two feet .under ground with broad windows and free air has never yet injured the most delicate health. Mr. Blackburn’s queries about lack of contentment among teachers, rumored bickerings, ete., could be put to the school board of any other city as well as to that of Omaha, They alw have existed and always will t under any system, however perfected and sys- tematized. The best management only reduces them in amount and number. So long as teachers are ambitious for higher grades and higher pay there will be Seal- ousy of those above them and lack of contentment on the part of those who fail to receivs what they believe to be their deserts. Mr, Blackburn has been for many years in the Union Pacific headquarters. He knows as well as anybody in Omaha the constant bicker- fngs among the clerks and officials in that establishment, If Mr. Kimball, Mr, Clark or Calloway had been asked by Mr, Blackburn to find a good reason why such a state of things existed, and to de- vise some means by which it could be for- ever stopped, they would have shrugged their shoulders, turncd on their heels and walked away. There is no doubt much to be dore in improving our school system. If instead of asking thirteen conundrums, Mr, Blackburn had brought forward 2 single resolution to do away with some admit- ted abuse, his suggestions would have been in order. Asitis, he has simply succeeded in ereating further discord and in making matters worse rather than better, every ———— Welghing George. Since the New York Sua published some days ago an extended interview with Mr. Henry George, the labor candi- date for mayor of that eity, ie which he very fully expressed himsolf us to what should be done and what he should en- deavor to do in the evont of his election, an opportunity has beer given for weigh- ing and measuring this now most inter- esting leader of labor which the news- papers bave not denicd themselves. Of course the result is more or less in- fluenced by the political bias of the com- mentators, but on the whole Mr. George has reason to feel gratified that about the most serious fault found with bim is that he is merely a theorist and not # man of affuirs, and that consequently he is peouliarly destitute of the special qualifications which the circumstances of the time require in tho mayor of New York city. This objection, however, really amounts to little more than saying that Mr. George is not an experienced politician, that he isn’t familiar with the methods of the machine, and that he docesn’t understand fixing primaries and wanipulating couventions. But he is in his present position simply because he lucks this knowlodge, probably deemed | 1at al by three | THE_OMAHA DAILY 'BEE: FRIDAY, OCTOBER 8, 185, of ths York lack him in a canse men w are | mayor | that he wonld make a thor 1y | | | { { th supporting and upright execut He magyor of N d about by conditio ch would not al e for trying new this fact he q fu There is one thin is he W tions w lients, and understands. and that nk and Jism ense of cems to be outspoken man.

He leaves no doubt as o his vosi tion as an advocate of the fullest free trade, and is opposed to contract labor and pauper immigration. On the whole, Mr. George states his views clearly and explicitly, £o that no one ean mistake them, and in saying that as mayor his ambition would be to make a clean anl good record he is doubtless sincere, in the who social vossible. 1 s0C Wi all due v t to Mr. Pagton and with proner ation of hisatg terprise we would ask whether Farnu streot and Sixteenth are to he bideaded | all winter and next summer with lis building material. For montbs, men, women and children have been com pelled to take the middle of the street passing Mr. Paxton’s block. Now that his arca under the sidewalk is bricked over why cannot something be done to make the street passable over them. In other cities where large blocks are built at least half the sidewalk is always kept clear. These arc matters for the board of public works to attend to. o Tue democrats of Massachusetts, in nominating as their candidate for gov- ernor a man who, until two years ago, was an active republican, and who with- drew from the party not because dissat- isfied with ats prineiples, but for the rea- ou that he was hostile to its candidate for president, simply confessed that they are weak in men who could stand upon such a platform as they were compelied to adopt without appearing ridiculous. The Boston Advertiser points out a prece- dent to this action m the nomination of Horace Greeley, in 1872, which was prompted by the hunger of the democ- racy for success, and remarks that the similar ending. Mr. Andrew required asa condition of his acceptance of the nomi- nation that the platform should de certain things, among them an expl endorsement of civil service reform. There are hundreds of domoecrats in M chusetts, as elsewhere, who are op- posed to that policy, and they will not swallow 1ts approval made at the dicta- tion of one who 50 recently as two years ago was actively opposed o them, and who is not now understood to favor the general policy and principles of democ- racy. Hence it is reasonably assumed that Mr. Andrew cannot command, not- withstanding the unanimity and enthusi- asm of his no aination, the full demo- cratic support, “The men who have in public and private denounced the meth- ods and appointments of the president will not stultify themsclves by giving Lim their votes. Nor will he pro beable to draw from the republi ranks a suflicient number to balance thi democratic loss. Itisvery likely the re- publicaus could have made a choice of o gubernatorial candidate who would have proved stronger than Mr. Ames, but it is not doubted that their chance of win- ning by the regular majority has not been reduced by the action of the demoarats ing a disgruntled republican in the leadership of the party. —— Tue New York Commercial and Finan- cial Chronicle takes a hopeful view of what may result from the. inquiry and action of the Britisii Royal commis- sion on the cuyrrency, appointed by the Salisbury ministry with particular refer- eneg to the silver problem. It regards the step taken as a most deelded ona in the direction of a solution of that per- plexing question, and while it does not expect that the commission is to bring England to bimetalism, and thinks the bringing of Grest Britain to assist in rehabilitating silver may be a long way off and to be attained perhaps only through a very rough experience, yet it believes the final achievement of such vestoration is certain. It is a require- ment of the world’s commerce which will enforce itself, and sueh are the circumstances that Great Britain will be- come in the ead the strongest advocate of the white metal that the world con- tains. There is undoubtedly substantial ground for this view in the growing stress of England’s trade and the condition of India, and it is & reasonable expectation that the commission, in following the instructions under which it is to act and complying with the desire of the govern- ment as evidenced in the instructions, will advance the eause of bimetalisim in Great Britamm .

Briefly told, the history of this plan to hand over the country to Tilden and democraey is as follows: In 1816 Nebraska eleeted Strickland, Amasa Cobb and Connor presidential electors b against a vote of 16, and Hendricks electors. After lection it was discovared that the hvass of this vote conld not take place under the then existing law before the legislature convened. The electoral vote had to be canvassed in December at. the latest, and the reguiar - sion of the legislature did not begin until Janu In order to make a legal canvass of the electoral returns, Governor Garber ealled a spe party wason the verge every eleetoral yote ca nd in power, f whic Silas A A. ,at Lincoln, for tho pur- posof canvassing the electoral vote of the state.

When the legislature convened at the eapi- tal,Church Howe filed a protest which m: be found on pages 6, 7and 8 of the Ne- braska House Journal of 1877, The fol- lowing extract makes interesting reading: 1, Chureh Howe, a member of the legisla- ture of Nebraska, now convened by procla- mation of his excellency, Governor Silas Garber, for the purpose of canvassing and declaring the result of the vote cast in Ne- br for electors for president and vl president of the United States, hereby enter my solemn protest against such act, denying that the governor has power to call this body in special session for any sueh purpose, or that this body has any authority to canvass or declare the result of such vote upon the following groun ‘irst. This lezislature now convened hav- ing been elected under what is known as the old constitution, has no power to act in the Ppreinises, the new constitution of the state having been 1n force since November, 1875.” The second and third clauses deal with technical objections and are somewhat The concluding sentences of precious document are as follows “For the foregoing reasons I protest against any eanv of the electoral yote of the state by this body, and demand that this, my protest, be entered upon the journal.” (Signed) Church Howe, member of the legislature of Nebraska. The domocrats did not respond to the call of the governor and there was barely a quorum in the senate, while there were several to spare in the house of which Howe was a member. The protest en- tered by Howe was doubtless prepared by the Nilden lawyers in Omaka and Howe had the glory of being the sole champion of Sam Tilden.
