It is worth noting that the adverse vote on the woman's suffrage amend- ment, in the United States senate a few days ngo, was given mainly by demo- erats. Of the thirty-four nays only ten were republicans, while there was not a single democrat nmong the sixteen yeas, Jt may be remarked that the women were unfortunate in having Mr. Blair as their champion, — Reronrs say that the czar and ¢z of Russia propose to make a tour of Bu- rope during the coming summer, and the old emperor of Germuny has expressed a dosire to meot the British queen during the year, which is the ninetieth of his life and tho fiftieth of hisreign. These plans or hopes indicate that the summer of 1887 may be one of a good deal of royal visit- ing, provided that tho peace of Eurovpe can be maintained.

It has not affected the cause which he has ably and consistently cham pioned or the following which is termed by the Chicago paper a disturbing ele ment in Ncbraska polities. Van Wyck was only the embodement of certain principles and reforms which for years have been a source of commotion and agitation among the people. The desire for relicf, the conflict between opposing principles, the popular movement for popular ex- pression oceasioned the disturbance, not the personality of the leader. It 18 a shallow view which mistakes the eflect for the cnuse. Senator Van Wyek might have died in the middie of his term, but the disturb- ing element which opposes the misrule of corporate monopoly, demands living wages for the working man, insists upon lonest business methods in railway man- agement and opposes extortion and dis- crimination would have survived without him. e way retire from publie life and polities, but the disturbing cle ment which trusted him with its leadershiv will il h forward, daily gaining new recruits, and wath other leaders holding alofv the bannerof emancipation from corporate slaves For it is the disturbing cle- nients which secure political progress. The free soilers and the abolitionists were the disturbing elements in the dewo- cratic and whig parties. Defeat after de- feat only strengthened the moyement and hastencd the day of victory. Great leaders went down, but the cause sur- vived. It is a poor reform which is founded on the popularity or the strengtn of a single man. The disturbing ¢ Been A digpa shows ment complained of is not confined to Neby a. It perme- ates socinl conditions in every state of the union® Representing a popular demand which s the result of decp seated conviction of wrongs suf- fered by the peovle, it is the germ of a new era dawning upon Amer- ican politics which cannot be nently obscured by ng cloud. people hate created the corporations, They must now control them. The men who have am, d wealth from labor must now recognize its just claims. A citizenry which h: i giant indus- by stimulants whieh have imposed people demands o re- duction of taxation which is no longer needed to bring fuir profits to manufac- turers. ‘Lhese the principles which have been advocated by General Van Wyck; they are the principles of a va pumber of intelligent voter: form a disturbing clement in our politics as present constituted, so much the worse for the poltics. inally, the disturbing element is not conlined to any one of the parties. It is ing inall. And this is the eause of nath and progr Tenyears increased it from a minor factor in poli- tical calculations to ove of such propor- tions that 1t cunnot longer be ignored. It is here, and here to stay. It is not tue efferye of champaign which ceases shortly atter the cork 1s drawn, It is rather like a union of chemicul elements forming n renction which will not cease until the result is nccomplishied, The Real Estate Bloom © No one now doubts that we are in the midst of a rezl estate boom. Property is the one absorbing topic of general con- versation. No portion of the paper: d with more intense interest than the Lestate tr: As for the dealers r nawe is lo, In other words v have reached the speculative point where the question of what income a picce of property promizes as an investment is subordmate to that of how much can b made from its ve-transfer. Hundreds of people are buying to sell again where a score are purchasing to hold. The ex- citement and activity resulting constitute a boom, It must not be assumed that there is no basis but speculatiye trading for the boom which we are now experiencing. The contrary1s the case. The heavy pur- ehases fow permanent improvement, the large amount of prospective building. the growth of the city in business and in pop- ulation are ull taken into account. We are valuing the present and from it est wating the future, The rapid and steady rise in realty of the past two years scems to give good assurance, under conditions which are now working themsclyes out, for the pes of the two years Lo come For all this, a word of caution will not be amiss. An excited condition of business calls for all the more care in the exprcise of busi ness judgmeat. Boow or no boom, values are values. Real estate has little intrinsic value, [tis cheap or dear, just 0 far as 1t will return either 1n the pres- ent or the future a fuir or a poor return upon the money invested, In other words its value i1s largely relative and must be guaged by the uses to which it can be put. The farther it is from the business center the less probable eall will there be for its use tor purposes of business ience as Omaha prop- orty. Shams In the Public Schools, Qur public schools with all their ad mitted excellences und pretences of high calture are in many respects a sham and a mockery. We now pretend to teach German. A siugle teacher impar(s the nstriiction to a elass of seventy pupils in the high sehool. This class comprises a large number of boys and girls who started ont this year with no knowlodge whatever of the German language, and muny who are advanced enough to be taught German literature. As there is no distinction made between these dif- ferent pupils the text books used are in effect primer baby books, and for all practical uses the whole Gerfan nstruetion is a farce. Begin- ners never reach the end of the course and adyanced pupils learn nothing. If we are to have German struction in our pbulic schools it should be practieal. There should be method and grading into classes. The study should vegin in the grammar school classes aud be car- ried upward into the bigh school to grad- uation. Otherwise it should be aban- doned. Drawing - is - taught by twe L ('vw nf these xh-\‘o(es herself hing painting in water colors while the majority of her class find diffi culty in drawing a straight hne or a simple eircle with any approach to accu- racy. Instruction in drawing should be Iy on - eve boy and girl, it should begin at first principles and require thorough work. Mechanical drawing onght to be cinlly fostered. But this thing of teaching water colors is prepostetous, 1f any of the pupils happen to develop latent talent and seck to improye it else- where they will find themselves com- pelled to unlearn most of what they have acquired, Correct methods lie at the foundation of all practical education. There is no royal road to learning. We are paying heavily for music teachers, but the music taught has no charm to soothe anybody. There is ab- solutely no need of a teacker to teach the teachers, There are not enongh of them to make n cl and most of them can already sing as well as their instruetor. Singing in the schools should be taught simply as an exercise, not as an accom plishment A Boom at Councit Blafr: Council Blafls entered upon a gen- uine boom, and the residents are not only enthusiastic and confident, but numer- ous capitaiists from elsewhere are mak ing mvestments there. ‘I'he boom is ap- parently on a golid basis. It is based largely on the belief that Omaha is to continue its remarkable growth, and on the proxiwity of Council Bluffs, There are large tracts on the bottoms, which can easily be used for warchouses, yards, manufuctories and other enterprises needing room. The prospeet of 4 wagon bridge and street car line connecting the two cities also increases the faith in the future of Council Bluls. Instead of Council Blufis fostering a spirit of envy or attempting to be a vival to Omaha, it now realizes that the closer connection with Omaha, the more harmonious its relations, the more prosperity., Numerous Omaha capital- ists are becoming interested in Council Blufix property, and the fact is signifi- cant that mapsare being prepared show- ing both cities as separated only by the river, and this spanned by bridg: Yor several years there hasbeen little activity in Council Blufls property, but with the prospect of a close union with Omaha, this boom starts in. - Residence property, especially for workingmen, is being cagerly bought up. There have becn more transfers within a week than in any one year before. The Navies of Burope, In the present situation of Buropean affairs, which according to the latest dis- patches have again become threatening, all information relating to the war power of the nations that would be in- volved in o general war is interesting. fn the February number of Harper's E. J. Reed reviews the war vesscls of Italy, Russia, Germany, Austrin and Turkey, with brief refer- ences 10 those of Greeee, Spain and Por- tugal. Speed and battery power are the two great features of Italy's huge war ships. The Duitlio and Doudolo have a speed of eleven knots, earry twenty-two mehes of armor on therr sides, apd” have cich a battery of four 191-ton Armstrong The I and Lepanto are even zer, with 18,000 mnlu‘ ated horse power each, fur d ot 18 knots.

There are three othe large war vessels, thongl inferior to the above, about fifteen unurmored frigates and corvettes, and more than a hundred torpedo boats, while thre unarmored croisers, to have a spc of 18 to 19 knots, are building. Austria has two nowerful three belted ships with central battery, and two new ironclads building. There 2ood many less eficctive ships in nayyand a fair supply of torpedo ft.

Italy has a naval role of her own to play in Europe, and is p! finfiu( well Socicty and the Stage. A dramatic” cluy of Brooklyn, New York, composed of people who ‘“strut their bricf hour' in the higher walks of society in that goodly city, has recently ined some local notoriety by disparag- ing action regarding some of its mem bers who have appeardl on the stage in amateur dramutic entdrtainments. The purpose of the club§s of course purely lit- erary, but it is inevftaifle that such a so- ty will attract people having a more or less pronounced histrionic talent, which is developed by tne study and asso- ciation with Kindred spirits, and with this development grows a desire, quite un conquerable with some, to give their or fancied abilities a public airing on the stage. [t seems thut this Brooklyn club has produced several persons of this kind, some of whom achieved a marked success as amatean actors, and acquired therehy a good deal of popularity. Toward these persons there was first manifested on the part of certain members of the club, doubtless less . a disposition to 1g- nore them soc ,and finally this ele- ment beeame iciently strong to pro- elaim on behalf of the club the social o n of any member who should pa ticipate in a public dramatic entertain- ment. It is not questionable that envy had some partin prompting this aetion, but it was accompanied \nlh a direct reflection upon the mors of the stage and the vespectability of those who adopt it as n profession. There is a de gree of stultifieation in such a proceeding on the part of a dramatie elub, but the in- cident is interesting chiefly as the ex- pression of a feeling all ‘too genceral re- ing the stage and its people. t the stage 1s inherently immoral it 15 presumed will not be maintained by any intelligent and entirely unprejudiced person. There is not in the production of a proper play, or in the parti i in such production, anything necessarily hostile to morality. On the contrary, it can be successfully shown that the stage has been, and thercfore may still be, a moral force. It has been used by the church 1 anxiliary to its effor But it is nevertheless true that the charge of mmorality against the stage has been mad most sinee acting beeame a re- cognized art. Addison deprecated the moral deterioration of the stage in his day, and dirceted against it some of the severest censure of his polished pen. Nobody doubts that there was ground for it The Enghsh stage of the past, under the patronage of a dissolute nobility, was unquestionably as bad as 1t could be. Even to-day it has its Violet Cameron and Fortesene, but it also has i Terry and Miss Enstlake. Does any fair- minded and teasonable person believe that Henry frving and Wil- son Burrett are _ purveyors of vice* The Freneh stage has done more than its share to bring the institution mto disrepute, but who is there so uncharita- ble and unjast as to judge all French actresses by the standard of Sarah Bern- harat? Asto the American stage it can be proudly aflirmed of 1t that there is not a stain upon the wmoral records of the great native actors whose art has made it illustrious. 14 v of those who con- demn the stage depend for their opinions upon tradition, orseleet for examples the few who dishonor their profession, ig- noring the many who give it eredit, char: acter and worth. Why think only of Rachel and Bernlardt, among the great in their art, and such adventuresses as Cameron and Fortesene, and leave out of conside m Charlotte Cushmin, Eliza Logan, Julia Deane Hayne, Mrs. Mowatt, N Anderson, Ellen Terry, Margaret Mathe r, and others who contributed their genius to the stage and lived unsullied liv No just judgment ean be ren- dered on such one-sided evidence. Grant- ing that the stage is not free from condi- tions favor: to the moral deciine of those in its serviee predisposed to go in that direction, it is still to be said that the sweeping charze of mmorality against the stage and those who people it entially unjust and cannot be tained by the faets. It needs to be membered, s0, that the sty has not been greatly behind in the general march of moral improvement.

In fact, most of his jokes were tied on his eirele of acquain tances before they were incorporated in his famous lectures. e was reckloss and fm- provident, but he was the humorist who set the key to all American humor subsequent to himself, **s 1 remember one joke that really didn't be- long to him, although he got the credit for originating it,” continued Mr. 1'erkins. “One ovening we were ‘kissing the bowl to pass itby" in a little restaurant in New York, when Artemas was handed Manager Ma. gwire's dispateh from San Francisco asking him “What will you take for ten nights? 1o was in rather a maudlin condition at the time, nud passed the dispatch over to one of his acquaintances, who slipped ont of th room, and wrote and sent the famous rep ‘Brandy and water.

Artemas Ward has had numerous imitators but noequal “A large portion ‘of the great humorist's wit lay in extravagance of slatement, but there are writers and tale-tellers who lay no elaim to being humorists who tell more re- markable stories to-day without having their truth for a moment ealled in question. In fact truth1s stranger than fietion. I heard some of these kind of stories only a few azo. Although widely extravagant in detail, they ‘bear the stamp of truth in every line, A worthy Presbyterian minister who lives in Texas met me last week and told me tha Cleveland Smythe, an aged colored man ol Galveston county, ‘Texas, when a boy, ran a needle nto his hind toot. The acecident caused him no serious anunoyance, and was forgotten. A few days ago Cleveland felt a sharp pain in his left wr and whenan in- cision was made, much to Lis astonishment, r of needies worked their way to the outer world. The needles were two dozen in number and were neatly done up and la- beled. Mr. Siythe exhibits the needles to all who are curiously in('liu(‘d. “Not long ago while 1 wasin Boston I had aninterview with Charles Francis Adams, who related to me, without moving a muscle, a very remarkable incident which ocenrred to a distant relative of his, Miss Samantha Adams, of Adams, Adams county, M chusetts.

Although I am a new man in Omaha Leonfidently make the prediction that there will be nearly twice as much building in this ety this year as there was last year. I base this prediction on the fact that our company has already taken a large number of orders for structural iron work, and all for first-class and costly buildings, I believe that tho Omaha work alone will keep us busy throughout the entire year.” —— A WOMAN THE CASE, Mrs, Cassler, an Omaha Woman, Con- nected With the Zeigle Suicide.
