What did - Mr. Hughitt's request for a donation of o 000 from the citizens of Omaha mean how? This is the question which the men who were circulating the jon to the board of county commis- ers are beginning to ask themselves 'THE OMAHA DAILY BEL: The People’s Defeat. There will be general disappointment and indignation throughout the state over the resait of the senatorial struggle which has ended in the defeat of Van Wi Regret will not be confined to Nebraska alone, where the general is nersonally known and honored for his faithful devotion to principles dear to his constituents. Throughout the whole country,wherever the eause which he has championed has supporters and friends, and the enemies which he has are nnderstood and defeat of Senator Van be generally regarded as blow at popul reignty sceured through a dangerous subversion of repr ive government, He was the p ples’ choice. His cause was confidently committed into the hands of men chosen by the people to voice their will and pledged y the most solemn of all pledges to stake their all upon his polit- ical fortunes. He had made a brave and manly eanvass for re-clection, appealing from the politicians to the people,and the reply was an endorsement so marked and 8o decisive that the result was not considered doubtful, Chal- longing corporate monopoly in the open field he would have won without question if the treachery of pretended friends had not come to the assistance of corporate corruption and the tremendous pressure which the monopolies brought to bear upon the legislature elected to elect the people’s eandidate. As General Van Wycek's canse was the people's, so his defeat is the defeat of the people. It will be so taken throughout the country. In the face of the legi tive clections and the popular vote polled the vejection of Van Wycek, who- ever his successor, was) a bold e of popular sent ment. But ther are victories more costly to the victors than the van- quished. In the end the outraged people wiil make the traitors and suborners of troachery pay dearly for their prize. Sue- cess gained at the expense ot political rectitude and in bold defiance of the un- derlying principle of representative gov- ernment cannot be more than a transient victory. The reaction is already setting in. Within a few days bitter indignation will become a swelling tide of resentment which will roll throughout the state and will beat fiercely about the state capital, made the Sanitation in the Schools, The report of the Committee of the Board of Edecation at the last meeting of the school board was a painful revela- tion of the gross neglect of the most ordi- nary sanitary precautions in the con- struction of several of our school build- ings. According to the showing made by the committee a number of our publie schools have been erected on plans and specifications that would disgrace a school boy. Ventilating flues connect with sinks, fresh and foul ducts are in direct communication with esch other, and sanitary raquirements, gener— ally, scem to have been quite lost sight of in the attempt to secure s many rooms and as much room as pos- sible in the spuee and from the money al- lotted. 1t there is one place more than another, where the most rigid precau- tions against imperfect sanitation should be adopted, that place is the school roorm. An abundance of pure air and light are the two great requisites which all well informed and experienced architects assume in planning such buildings. Without them tived eyes, aching heads, and wearied brains, are the certain re- sults. Many a reprimand given to rest- less children would not be called for if gross incompetency on the part of the itects had not made a heavy atmos- phere and foul air responsible for child- ish nervousne The board of eduecation owe it to the public to at once inaugurato sweeping re- forms in the construction of onr school houses, There should no longer be fav- ored architects and stock plans. The first requisite should be sanitary com- pleteness. Other requirements can safely wait on this The New Chinese Treaty, The draft of a treaty which has been agreed upon between the United States and the representatives of China in this country is important as showing that the Chinese governtent has concluded that its people cannot be assimilated with the population of the United States, and that it1s expedient that mm 10n shall stop. The treaty contams in substance the provisions of the anti-Chinese re- strietion bill which was introduced at the last session of congress and met with strong opposition in the house, and which has been so greatly amended that its passage 18 considered doubtful, It is said that the supporters of the measure in the house hardly expect to carry it through at this session, and 1 view of this the administration has endeavored to secure the substantial objects of the bill throvgh a treaty. The treaty, how- ever, contains one 1mportant provision that is not in the bill. It provides that the Chinese who may be in the Unlted States shall be entitled to the same pro- tection of the laws asall other persons, a provision which it is eclaimed by the familiar with the history of the negotia- tion of the treaty would make the United States responsible for any outrage upon the Chinese of the character they have sev- cral times been made the vietims of. The veriod of the exclusion act is extended by the treaty to thirty years, counted, it is presumed, from the date of the ratifica- tion of the treaty. The present restric tion act was fora period of seven years, four of which have elapsed, and though this law is very rigid in its provisions, it has been discovered that ingenious ways have been wted to to evade it, The principal features of the Morrow bill and of the new proposed treaty are that no Chin laborer shall have the right to emigrate to the United States for a certain number of years; that means shall be provided for the identification by photographic representations of any Chinaman who shall seek to go abroad, and that the number of Chinese that may be brought over in any one ship or vessel shall be limited. The treaty is a con- tinuation of the acts of 1882 and 1884, which were in the line of attempted ex- clusion of Chinose laborers, commencing with the tifteen passenger act, vetoed by President Hayes, followed by the twenty years' restriction act, vetoed by President Arthur, and culminating in the measures now proposed. Relative to the Morrow bill, the report of the committee on the messure said that notwithstanding the re- peated acts of legislation manifold evasions of the law Liave been practiced which have blocked the federal courts of San Franciseo with quasi-criminal eases which have precedence over other bust ness, and have failed to meet the exigen cies which called the laws into exist ence. Furthermore the failore of the laws to accommplish the purpose in tendea by their enactment, and the con tinued emigration of Chinese laborers, has precipitated a raco conflict resulting in ncts of violence that cannot be ig- nored and should be prevented by whole some legislation. The draft of the treaty will probably be consideted by the senate at the pres. ent session, but finaal action may not be had before the next congress. It isproba- bly as much of a concession on the part of the Chinese government as the United States could sonably a: Progress of Manual Training. A writer in an eastern says that those not speerally interested in the sub- ject of manual training know little of the extent to which it has found favor. At the exhibition last spring of the work done by children in such classes throngh- out the country it was shown that a faith in the system is very general. More than sixty schools and institutions, represent- g many cities and towns, and embra ing all grades of manual training, from its first step i the kindergarten to its fall development in the training school, took part i the exlibition. In New York, counting charitable institutions, there are thirty-three schools where children and young people receive technical edu- cation, either as part of their school work oras a preparation for permanent em- ployment some branch of industry Provision is pow made in the publ schools of several large citios for manual trainin, In the Philadelphia public schools kindergarten methods are used in the sub-primary grades. Sewing is taught in all grades. The industrial art school supplies instruction in drawing, desizn- ing, modeling in clay, wood-carving, carpentr) and me work. In the manual training school there is instruction in free nd and mechan- ical drawing, carpentry, wood-turning, use of tools, forging, management of en- gines, ete. In the Boston publie schools the pupils are allowed certain hours in the week when they can work in the classes of the Hemenway techunical schools. In New York the importance which technieal training is assuming in so many private schools and institutions is suflicient answer to those erities who do not belicve either in the advisability or practicability of making manual train- mg a part of our public Steadily this principle is making its w proving its worth and wisdom with every step of its progress, and giving assurance that 1ts ultimate general adoption is merely a question of time. The Late Professor Youmans. The cause of science lost one of its most industrious and valuable workers in the death of Professor Edward Livingston Youmans, which oceurred on last Tues- d More than forty years of h te were actively devoted to scientific udy and rescarch, carried on under the affliction of a greatly impaired eyesight, which to the majority of men would have been an insurmountable obstacle to such labor. When thirteen years of age he was attacked by ophthalmin. and for some years was totally blind. Ever after- wards his sight was very defective, and it frequently happened that he was unable toread. Yet he did not give up the work for which he had a natural love, in which he received valuable aid from his sister, Miss Annie Eliza Youmans, who was in full sympathy with her brother's inchna- tions, and the results gave him a place among the foremost of his contemporaries in the extent and value of lus contribu- tions to scientific knowledge. He was the author of numerous works which high rank among similar pro- the best and most widely known of these being ‘‘Alcohol and the Constitution of Man,” “The Cor- i and Conservation of “The ClI ry of the nd “The Dynamies of Iafe.” All these works have been accepted as standards, and widely read as well in Europe as n this country. But the greatest value of the work of Prof. Youmans was in its successful effort to popularize scientific knowledge and reading. If not the originator, he was one of the pioneers of the plan of popular lectures on scientific subjects, and he was most happily constituted to present a subjeet clearly to the unlearned in such matters. In 1872, in furtherance of this purpose, he established the Popu- lar Scicnee Monthly, of which he contin- ued the editor to the close of his life, as- sisted in recent yen by his younger brother, William J. Youmans, The s vice ot that publication in stimulating vopular interest in and extending the kuowledge of scientl ubjects Lias been very great, The y before starting the magazine Prof. Youmans projected the “International Seientific Series,” which ha's been ve suceessful, fifty.seven vol- umes having been issued up to this time. It is sa’d he was more instirumental than all other men put together in introducing and promoting the circulation in this country of Herbert Spence Works, whi he edited, That distinguished philosopher, whose fame begun in the United States, was also indebted to Prof. Youmans for the first serious attention he received from the British public, Surely the work of such a life merits the heartiest commendatior Men ex- haust culogy and panegyrie in honoring the memory of the successful soldier and politician, not always with a thought of motives or methods, The labors of the patient soldier of science, always di- rected and contributed to the mprove- ment and advancement of mankind, are certainly entitled to at least a passing mention aund tribute, A Veteran Student. d that the veteran historian, George Bancroft, who 1s in the eighty- seventh year of his age, has turned his attention from tho writing of history to the study of Shakespeare And he is re- newing his acquaintance with the pages of th mmortal bard” for a purpose, in which he hones to make the public a sharer. He has entered upon his new field of labor with the ardor of a young student, and hopes if bis life is spared to add_a valuable contribution to Shakes peréan literature. What an example i this for those men, literary, professional, or otherwise, who grow weary of the con- flict almost befare they haye passed the meridian of life, and instesd of seeking new sources of labor are eager to surren- der those they have.

The party cam never be harmonized on monopoly lines. That attempt has failed too often in Nebraska for hope of fuiure suceess. The conflicts and debates of the ten years' struggle have educated a constituency which has proved itself time and again less anxious for party success as such than for honest government by honest men. It has never yet failed to pay back with interest the troachery ot the machine to the masses, The ink is not yet faded on the avalanche of bailots under which an outraged r publican constituency buried forever a republican candidate nominated for con- gress in brazen defiance of an over- whelming public sentiment. ——— POLITICAL POIL Speaker Carlisle is not working for a seat in the senate, but 1f one is offered him he will not refuse to occupy it.

Miss Coghlan, in an iterview at Paul, ©s the cause of his lows: After the support had been cured Mr. De Belleville camo to me and asked for a place for a lady friend ot his for minorparts, 1 could not receive her into the company, bacause it was already full, and besides, (o any one acquainted with the man's history, it Is nnneces to say that there wete other objections to such an_arrange- ment. From that time forth Mr, De Belie ville has 1ost no opportunity to make him- self disagreeable, and the trouble finally cul- minated during a performance of “T'he Lady of Lyons,’ when, lost to all sense of profes- sional courtesy, ha swore at moand insulted me while on the stage.

Ll is supposed to be worth some- where in the neighborhood of a mllion dol lars, 1o owns a large amount of real estate in Washington and has a good deal of prop- erty in Chicago.

When AMr. Kellogg made the purchase ho drove out to view the land, and when he made the trade the owner of the land took the horses at once, ana Alr. Kellogg had a hard time tramping back, Ho did not think much of his purehase, and has been very nearsellinzit & numbver of times. ‘The whole tract to-day is said to be worth somewlhiere in the neighborhood of a quarter a million, Omaha gas isnot a very healthy thing to have floating around in’ the atmosphere ot dwelling houses.
