Mg Axes s increasing his Omaha in- vestments, ho alleged hostility of the new mwanagement of the Union I cific toward this city is not yet apprrent to the naked eye. WiiLe its annable contemporaries are accusing ench other of publishing news two or thrce days late, the Bee goes right ahead collecting moro news daily than all the other Omaha papers com- bined, and paying heavier telegraph tolls than the expense of running tie entire establishments of scveral of its distin- guished rivals M. Powprrey has himself eschewed polities and adyised the organization of which he is the head to likewise, ‘[here are some rather forcible indica- tions, however, that this very proper ex ample and judicious counsel1s not uni versally accepted with that regard for discipline and respect of authority which are necessary to the welfare ana highest usefuln of the orgamzation. The more thoughtful and careful members, however, will acknowleago the wisdom of Mr. 'owderly’s courso and policy and act agreeably to it do ANOTIER witness has come forward “against the unfortunate ex-Envoy Sedg- wick, whose sad fall it would perhaps be cbaritable to curtain with oblivion, A Rev. Mr. Drees, who has for soveral years been a Methodist missionary in the City of Mcxico, says the published accounts of Sodgwick’s disgraceful conduct were all true, and adds the picturesque statement that aftor his Mexican entertainers had gotton the envoy gloviously drank, *‘the crown of his plug hat was caved in and it was filled with gaudy flowers. Sedgwick, bedecked with a profusion of flowers hanging about his head and neck, w paraded the strects, as is the custom with the bovine before proceeding to the place provided for a bull fight.” More than this would be of the nature of an anti-climax, thercfore lot the curtain be rung down, IN spite of every effort to suppress and check its progross, socialism still lives and grows in Germany. A reeent report to the Reichstag on this subject states that since the autumn of lust year sociul- istic agitation has been very active, and that in democeratic circles extrome moas- ures have met with greater favor than those of a more moderate nature, Thoe representatives of the ety in parlia- ment have exercised & preponderant in- fluence on the masses who give them & hearty support, and every time they huve participated w popular meetings it has been to increase the fanaticism of thar followers. In Berlin and its environs twenty wmectings had to be broken uv by the police, and in several cases disorder yesulted from the intrusion of the author- itics. The number of democratio associ- tions has considerably inereased through- out Germany. In Altona, the most popu- Jous and important city of Sleswig- Holstein, they have risen from ten to eightecn. Sterling Morton's fland, Mr. J. Sterling Morton has been in Chicago long enough to hold a confer ence with the Burlington wanagers whose control over the democrats of Ne Urasks is to be exerted through his influ ence. Mr. Morton taken palas to publish his advice to democrats thro a Chicago paper. We take it for granted i-officially the Burling ton railroad programme as to the ral 1 dor in the legslatare, The hing Mr. Morton advises is a demo- whose decision mem tied hand and foot to the chariot of the ds, In this deliberate surrender of individual action to the mahdates of the corporate Mr. Morton isin perfeet ac with Dr. Miller. Whatever Mr rton road common bitter has that he voices sen fir: cratic caucus, by bers 10CTALs ars to be political railros managers, cord Mot veculi virtually compel r relations to the Bur make his him to cnuse with 105t political encmy Thisis by no means entirely unox pected. Mr, Morton is an anti monopolist only between campaigns as we ave often said. He never allows his anti-monopoly views to interfore with Burlington fight h more tho road were enlisted for J | would be s le is now in T'lio democrats should stick lidate to the death™ viec ton intimate » Van Wyel Of cour st ind if the an't do t L that Judge Dundy the leading candi- king to the death moar that the demc shall 1 tepaw to the republi- can railronders and assist them in defeat- ing Van Wyck. Mr, Morton has let the cat ont of the bag about the scheme to control the democrats in favor of Judge Dundy under the pretext that Dundy's clection will vacancy on the federal which will be filled by a democrat. This is by no means a startding disclosure. This neat little plan to give the stato of Ot two senators and one cengressman for the next two years was made public some time ago through this paper. Governor Morton with the rest of the railroad vaqueros cannot lasso the democrats into the Burlington branding pen. The dem- ocratic members of the next logislatare have too much pride and sclf respect to be made voting cattle m or out of the cancus. They do nol wear brass collars and will not put them on for any boss, Nine-tentis of them were clected on a district issue, as inde- pendent of partisan dictation, Nearly all of them were pledged against monopoly candidates and 1n favor of Van Wyeck unless the democrats had control of the legislature. They are just as mtelligent Mr. Morton with regard to the situn- tion and are respounsible to their constit- uents, while Mr. Morton is only respon- sible to their employers. They know that Morton, Miller and Boyd have joined hands in favor of a caucus with Mur- quette, Charley Greene and Jim Laird, They realize that the combinations against Van Wyck in both parties rally around the same standard. Foreign Capital and Omaha, The opening of the present winter in Omaha hag been not hle for the heavy investments of foreign capital in our city., The purchase of the Millard prop- erty on Farnam street by a New York syndicate has been followed by a number of other investments of a like nature in smaller and greater amounts, Last week Mr. Fred Ames, of Boston, added to his Omahu interests by acquiring the Strang block on fower Farnam street, at n cost of §135,000. 1t is safe to say that during the past two weeks more than w -quarter of & million dollars of Omaha proverty has passed into the hands of eastern eapi- ists, all of whom have pur- ased for improvement. Well informed ul estatedealers estimate the amount placed n city lots by foreign investor since the first of June at a million and a nalf dollars. This is a new feature in Omaha'’s growth, While cities like St. Paul, Minneapolis and Kunsas City owe their dovelopment chicfly to the flood of foreign capital which has pourcd inupon them,Omaha has for years been built up largely by the enterprise and push of her own citizens, Most of the men who built her blocks and pmd her tases earned their modest fortunes by hard work in our midst. While they wero obliged to make their money betore they could spend it the progress of the city waited on their industry. No city of ber size n the west is so largely the prod- uct ot the labor of its citizenship ns Omaha, Itis to her eredit that this is so for it has Inid a solid and a sure founds tion of confidence for Eastern investors. But the tide of foreign capital will be none the less welcomed on this account. Eyery dollar invested by non-residents unlocks a dollar of home capital to seek investment, The prolits resulting from renumerative purchases and improve- ments in turn stimulate further invest- ments from abroad while they advertise the finaveial oppertunities which this greatand growing metropolis offers for the afo :nlnl profitable employment of foreign capitul. erat create o beneh Codfish Aristocracy at Washington, “The question of social precedence is a very serious ono in Washington, espe- cially in senatorial cireles. The upper branch of congress, not content with clinging firmly to what it calls its rights and priviloges in the senate chamber, is assuming new social dignities outside of the capital. If the eastern correspond- cnts are to be believed, senatorial social cireles are beginning to assume all the frills and agonies of an incipient aris- toeracy, Questions of precedence are continnally arising and oflicials of the government and their wives are compelled to take more or less part in the inevit able discussions which ensi in conse quence All this is very absurd 'he attempt to make a six years' service of the peoplo at Washington the basis for the growth of an American aristocracy will be greeted with general laughter, A United States senator, at the present time at least, can lay no valid claims for precedence, social or mental, over the vest of public servants. As a matter of fact, the brainiest men of the country are found in the house of representatives. ‘Lhe senate, with a few honorable excep- tions, is mainly composed of men whomn wealth and corporate influence have ele- vated to ofice. Mauy of them are without faonly or breeding. Perhaps they are none the worse for that, but when the lack of education is added the only nutural basis for superiority is missing 387 THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: SU T "Nothing remalns but the fact that scn | national salary list | poor foundation upon which to build & fact that sena are sure of nsix years' pul?at the This in atself is a tors superstructure of anstoeracy.

There is one great objection to the Pacitic debt exten sion bill. It binds the government {o ne- cept as valid liens upon the roud the monumental debts which thieves and plunderers like Jay Gould haye heaped up in bold and brazen defiance of the ch ter and congressional prohibitions. The basis of the billis an acknowiedgment by the government that the debt to be extended as & just and valid one. The result of its enactment would be to leg- alize all the iniquitics of past manage ments and to confirm to the robbers the title to their spoils. This is suflicient ob- jection in itself. But there is another and a greater objection still, The road must earn terest on its frandulent bonds and dividends on its watered stock, all of which will be made legal by this precious measure. Byery dollar of interest and dividends must be drawn from the producers of tho west through fr aud passenger tolls. The pass bill means not only an eighty years tension of a fraudulent debt, but equally long perpetua tion of exorbi rates in the coun try served by its lines. The bill should be voted down. The {daration consideration 1 forco the ol urging snge that canght Industrial Trais The question of industrial training, as apart of the system of public ¢ducation, is not an entircly new topic of discus- sion. It has been talked about more or enrnestly and vigorously for & num- rs by progressive educators with practical tondencies. Many thought- ful men have long admitted that the weight of argument is very largely in favor of such training. But the advance to vractical results has been slow. A start has been made in several cities, rather by way of experiment than as the serious beginning of a general innova- tion, andin every case with the most tisfactory results, The experiment has been successful in this city, in Chicago, in St, Louis, in Cleveland and elsewhere. Fortificd by these suceesses the friends of the system are urging 1t with in- creased earncstness, and of course with greater effeet, The movement is realiz- g something of a boom and the promisc of its final victory and general prev lence, though it may still tuke ye to accomplish this, is growing steadily brighter. The question is chiefly practieal, though it has its moral side. If it has sprung mainly from the instinet of the age which demands material results, it owes something of its existence and foree also to ihe enlarged knowledge and broader views which amirm that brain and brawn must work together - or der that either shall achieve the best itis cap- able of. Nor is this perhaps to be credited wholly to the present age. The Greeks and Romans who connected games and athletic exereises with their edueation possessed the wisdom now being renowed with us. Those people in the day of their greatness understood, though perhaps less thoroughly than we of to-duy do, the correlation of mind and body, and they made one auxiliary under all cireumstances to the other, For what- ever reason tho modern system of educa- tion departed from this wise rule of the ancients. The body has been neglected and the whole pressure put upon the brain. The conseq ce has been phy- 1 degeneration without any compen sating return in increase of mental power. The unrecuperated resources of one part have been consumed by the other part, and when that was completed the result in most cases has been simply ashes. The protest against this ruinous om was first made when athletie ex s nvaded the colleges and schools against the stubborn resistance of a deep rooted conservatism. But the innovation was bucked by the wisdom of experience and the teachings of sages, and it tri- umphed. Itmay still require regulation, butit bas como to stay. The student r quires playtime that will develop musele and strengthen simew, and no will hereafter deny this necessity This concession to the buly, no sential to the .mind, will not be drawn But industrisl training goes farther. It contenmplates ot alone all that is re- quired of physical exercise for the good of both body and mind, but a lasting benefit to the pupil in imparting knowl- edge which may be the foundation of ollege him loss 08 with- future usefulness. Thisis peeculiarly an industrial age. Its tendencies and aspira- tions are for tho most part material, The legend it lives by and the obligation it oxacts of all is work, Every porson has some special aptitude in a practical diree- tion.

Zeitung, Dec. 1, 1886.] The peovle of Nebraska have resolved themselves decidedly in fayor of the re- election of Senator Van Wyck, but tho different monopolies are agitating to the utmost against him to deieat him in tho logislature. It is not only the railronds and land monopolies the brave senator has made his bitter enemies, but also the corrupt rings in the national cupital, who working to defeat him; notably the gng and the real cstate rings, who are strongly supported by the present com- missioners and other oflicers of the Dis- trict. They hate Van Wyck like a scourge, beean hey kave to fear eve thing from this shurp-secing, restloss, unapproachable opponent of corruption ol ount of the supervision congress exercises over the government of the Dis- trict. The real estate ring wishes him in the bottomless pit. At the head of this ring stand District Marshal Wilson and Probate Register Claggoet, in whoso interest the commissioners laid out Massachusetts avenue on n crooked lhine, over ravines and guiches far out into tho country for the purpose of increasing tho value of real estute'in the hands of tho ring—even if the unlnwiul extension of the street would cost millions. The miserable lies which have been sent to a great many newspapers by Washington correspondents lutely were manufacturcd by this Washington ring, which is working in this way hand in hand with the groat railrond and land monopolies, principally in Nebrasl against Van Wyck, and they have suc coeded in smuggling such * lics ngzainst Van Wyck intoseveral German-Americnn papers whicl honestly opposed to the monopolies. These papers are certainly very eareless in the choice of their corrves spendents, The most shameless and these lies is the following “Van Wyek's friendship towards railrond monopolies is proved by assertion that he was fighting thoe Union weiie Ruilroad, and other cor- porations in conneetion therewith, only for the purpose of helping the oithor prineipal corporations in Nebraska—that 15, the B, & M. vailvond; in - other words, he is an anti-monopolist on one side and a monopolist on the other.” This shameless slander coming from Washington, which is quoted bodily by o part of the Nebraska press who arce by the monopolics. may be refuted by the fact that the B, & M. railroad (a continua- tion of the Chicaro, Burhngton & Quincy railrond) and their associates are en- gnged in the most desperate strifo in y county in Nobrasksa to gain control over the new legislature, sim for the nrpose of preventing popular railrond aws and the re-election of Van Wyck All honest, well-informed persons in Nebraska are willing to coneedo to Van Wyek that he hns fought against ono monopoly ns hard as he has wgainst the other, and that they all stand cowmbined against him to-day Trying to Stoal a $15,000 Horse, swark Sanday Call: An abortiye ate tempt to steal Mr, R, Cadugan's stallion Bayoune Prince, was mude last week, ‘I'ne stallion is at Flemington, Hunterdon county, where he hag been for the piust scason, in the care of W.
