This memorial of Farragut's chivalry will A Dwsappointing igation. The reported dissatisfaction of Senator McPherson with the way in which the Pa- cific railroad commission 18 conducting its investigation 18 doubtless shared by all who have carefully and intelligently observed the progress of the inquiry. T'wo weeks of the brief time that the commission has in which to perform its work have passed, and it has really ob- tained no information of the character which the law creating it calls for, or upon which it could rely for an intelli- gent and trustworthy report to congress of the earnings, expendituces, policy and management of the roads. The officials of the corporations who have been exam- ined by the commission have all shown themselves deplorably deficient in that definite and accurate knowl- edge of facts which men in such positions are ordinarily supposed to be entirely familiar with, Some interesling disclosures have certainly beep made, but the very best of them have not thrown much new light on the general subject, and have added no trustworthy data to the practical information which it is the business of the commission to obtain, The obvious fact is that the commission begun its work at the wrong end, It should have gone directly to the books, contracts, and other documentary evi- dences in the possession of thg roads showing the facts which the law requires them to investigate, and having obtained the fullest information to be had in this way the explanations of the offi- cials would probably have been in order. The practical way was to have gone down to the bottom facts, and not, as Senator McPherson says, to have merely skimmed the surface, provided only with such facts as are of common knowledge, or which are readily acee: ble becauso the roads take no trouble to conceal them. It can readily be under- stood that the commission would be at a disadvantage in encountering the shrewd and carcful officials of the roads. These gentlemen are not friendly to the investi- gation, and can be depended upon not to wittingly do anything to promote its success. ‘Lhey are practiced 1n the art of evasion, and some ot them may be trusted 1in emergencies for prevarication. They are pretty sure not to surrender any knowledge which it is safer to keep unlessitis forced from them. If the members of the commission were 8o in- generous A3 to suppose that these officials would lead them to the desired information they ought by this time to have learned their mistake. This the commission will obtain only by plodding research in the quarter where such infor- mation is matter of record, and this is the task to which it should have first ad- dressed 1tself. The statements or explanations of head officials may be desirable and nccessary, but the bottom facts are the essential thing, both as a basis to enable the com- mission to carry on 1ts work intelligently and properly and for the infurmation of congress and the country. It should waste no more of its valuable time with the generalities, evasions and conceal- ments of the chief officials, but go at once to the foundation of the business they have in hand and work upwards. Otherwise the investigation is very likely to prove a failure, as the corporations of course wish it to be. Relating to an Evil, A Philadelphia paper has undertakon to expose and arrest the knavish fortune- tellers who boldly advertise to perform miracles and reveal the unknown things of this life and picture the life to come. In that city it1s said that hundreds of these quacks and mountebanks who do nothing but practice the trade of roguery are unmolested by the law. The many women eugaged in the business of dup- ing credulous people and aiding and en- couraging immoral practices of all kinds by assuring the erring ones that they oan consult tho stars or their hands and prescribe a royal road of harmless hap- piness, are increasing in numbers and brazenuess. The North American has shown how openly and how flagrantly the law has been and is violated. It has brought these violations to the attention of the authorities and insists that the evil-doers be prosecuted and their dam- nable business be brought to an early end. The old hags who for years have practiced their dishonest vocations have insistod that their business was le- gitimate and their ‘‘customers among the most wealthy and prominent of the aity.” So hold have they grown that they have actually bocome procurers by gaining the confidence of young girls and claiming that by their magic they will relieve them of any trouble into which they may fall. The authorities are investizating the charges of the newspapers, and the revelations have alarmed the parents of Philadelphia. All cities are cursed with these human blights. The larger the place the more numerous the frauds who have *‘ben most successful in revealing the past and future on business, love and family af- fairs.” The great “‘trance claravoyants,’ *‘astrologers,” “palmists,” “fortune tell- ers' and what not, are great rogues as a general rule. They ruin more happy homes and lead more young women as- stray than any other corrupting influ- ence. Generally speaking it is safe to say that such 1lk have nothing to offer but misery and unhappiness and their most confidential advice to a frequent caller is their printed informatien to an out of town customer. Cunning, deceit and duplicity comprise their eapital—and the silly dupe patronizing them is alone to blame if, finding himself or nerself tight- ing with imaginary demons revealed by a cunning conjurer. ln the olden times witches were burned because they be- longed to the devil. In this more degen- erate age these despoilers of maritial peace are recogmzed by law, and their business winked at by respectably. They should be driven out of every community, — Out of the Race, ‘There have been several recent indica- tions that the Hill boom tor 1888 is\to be abandoned, or indeed has already been practically given up. It is not certainly known whether or no the visit of Colonel Lawmont to Governor Hill last week had any political significance, but it is a pretty safe guess that politics was not wholly ignored during their fraterniza- tion. It is hardly conceivable that these two could be togethor even during an ordinary breakfast-time without referr- ing to a subject which at all times chiefly engrosses the thoughts of both, and which must necessarially urge itself with especial force upon their attention THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: WEDNESDAY. when they are together. At all aveats it is the beliof in Washington political cir- cles that Colonel Lamort went to New York on a definite mission to the governor, and that the re- sult was satisfactory. It is be- lieved that Governor Hill has con- cluded that it will be wise to antagonize | Mr. Cleveland, and that he will endeavor to give the president the support of the forces he controls, in the hope of thereby gaining strength for himself a few years later. Itisnot incredible that a shrewd politi- cian, a8 Governor Hill unquestionably is, should in view of prevailing conditions reach this decision. It was well enough for him to accept, and perhaps encour- age, the movement in behalf of his presi- dential aspirations in New York. There was no good reason why he should deny his admirers the privilege of booming him to their hearts' content. They en- joyed it, it ¢ him national prominence, and it afforded an opportunity for test- ing the sense of the party outside of New York. Inthe latter respect the effect of the movement has been pretty thoroughly ascertained, and it cannot have failed to convince Mr. Hill, if he be made of *‘pen- etrable stufl,”’ that there is not the least chance of his being the democratic can- didate in 1833 if Mr. Cleveland desires renomination. Even were he assured of an undivided New York delegation, which is by no means the case, his chances would not be improved, since the very fact would intensify the hostility to him of other sections to such an extent as to utterly destroy the influence of New York in the convention. It wouid be re- garded as a deliberate effore to destroy the harmony of the party, in the interest of personal ambition, which democrats from every other section of the country would feel bound to repudiate, and which would be repudiated. For Hill the re- nunciation would be permanent. Hisoc- cupation as a democratic leader would be forever gone. Doubtless Governor Hill fully com- prehends all this. He is stupidly obtuse if he doesn't perceive that the party does not want him as its next presidential candidate and that he can sacrifice no chance of his pol al future by giving the party to understand that he doesn’t expect to be its candidate next year, but will be found in line sup- porting the man whom it evidently does want. Yot whether he shall withdraw or not from the race he is none the less practically out of it as against Cleve- land. The Government Sharks, A settler in the northern part of Min- nesota stole one stick of timber from the government's land. He was arrested some forty days before his trial took place. He languished in jail that length of time, and wus couvicted in the federal court for theft. The judge su: pended his sentence. The St. Paul Giobe say: He violated the law and bad a rizht to ex- pect its penalties. The United States ofli- cials did right In apprehending him and brincing him to justice. Granted that the freczing man violated the law and stole one stick of timber from the government. Admit that in stealing the timber he was not justitied —although he was without wood and his family was freezing, it scems that the government oflicials— while tney did only their duty— could have found better and more honor- able employment than arresting the " and throwing him in jail for forty days. The government has been robbed blind for the last twenty-tive years by gigantic corporations, scheming congressmen and senators, public land thieves and subsidy scoundrels. The perpetrators of these glaring crimes occupy high social posi- tions and enjoy political distinction. They are hardly ever exposed and not one in a thousand tinds himself where he rigntfully belongs—in the penitentiary. Yet in the face of all of this if a poor, half-starved foreign settler of the frontier takes one stick of wood he is nabbed by acrowd of designing government sharks and incarcerated in a juil for forty days, preparatory to being pulled through a long and perplexing trial in order that the government grey- hounds may get their fees. Such incon- sisteney can result in no great good. Tae attentions shown the Hawaiian queen in this country have developed some novel incidents, but nothing quite o unique as the address of Lieutenant Cowles, of the navy, who welcomed the dusky queen to the government steamer Dispatch, when the royal party went down to Mount Vernon last week. Ap- parently determined to leave all provious ctlorts at homage far in the shade, the speech of the licutenant was an example of extreme obeisagge wholly new in American experience, but he reached the climax of ridiculous adulation when he snid that “the secretary is always glad to render any service to a beautiful woman, and is doubly pleased to-day in the fact that that beautiful woman is your gra- ty,” ete. The address caused some indignation and a good deal of amusement, and although the licutenant maintaing that he was 1 earnest there are a good many people who believe he was guying Mrs. Kalakana. She had the sense to take it in good part, though it must have increased her wonder at this remarka Tae return of the eflicacy of electrical tre far subdued Mr. R: troublesome democratic statesman 1s about again. While nursing his ailment Mr. Randall has not been ndifterent to the course of events, and from a quoted utterance it is evident that he intends to be found sailing bravely with the swell- ing democratic tide for Cleveland. He isreported as saying that he takes no stock in the talk about discontent in the party with the president, and knows of no one who will contest the nomination if the president deserves it. It would be an act of generous reciproeity on the president’s part to now disabuse the pub- lic mind of the impression that has ob- tained that the discontent in the party regarding Mr. Randall 1s shared by the adwinistration. m season and the have so s gout that the Tue new departure of the signal bu- reau, in furnishing a weekly special bul- letin giving information relative to the climatic condition in the agricultural districts of the country, will undoubtedly prove serviceable in supplying accurate knowiedge as to the favorable or unfa- vorable conditions for the growing crops.

This was be~ cause the judge has not yet made a public record entitling him to a place in the books, and illustrates the extent to which the *“esteemed contemporaries” of the country are dependent upon this source of information. The judge, how- ever, appears not to require borrowed reputation to commend him. He hes made a strong record as a jurist, and it his election is valid, which is questioned, he will doubtless acquit himself creditably in the senate. His chief fault seems to be that he enjoys to too large a degree the friendship of the corporations, mine owners and manufacturers of the state. — I¥ the sentence of death passed by ‘the court matial on the four M n officers engaged 1n the Nogales affair shall be carried out, it must certainly be accepted as evidence of the determination of the Mexicau government to maintain discin- line and order on the frontier. But while the invasion of American territory and threatening the life of a sheriff was unquestionably a serious outrage, it does not seem to be o grave asto warrant the extreme sentence of the court martial. Atall events the American government and people will not regard the shooting of the implicated soldiers as necessary to a full reparation, A Goob deal of solicitude prevails in the departments at Washington, due to the civil service rules which are having their first trial in the war department. These rules require not only competitive examinations for promotion, but that all clerks shall be subjected to minativns for the purpose of ascertaining their qualitications to retain the positions they occupy. It 1s inevitable that the rigid enforcement of these rules will result in relegating a numbek of clerks to posi- tions below those tney now hold, while many others will be forced to retire from the service. Hence ther® is a large body of these public serVants who are very anxious. \ FRroy the fact that the final statement of the accounts of the Indian Colonial exhibition held in London last year shows that there was a protit of 176,175, not- withstanding the vast sum of money ex- pended in gathering articles for the won- derful exhibition, it #tas eaused many east- ern papers to urge similar ‘exhibitions in their respective citics; There is no doubt but that a large trade wéuld be dfawn to a city maintaining an exhibition of arti- cles worth seeing, which otherwise would remain in other places. An annual western exhibition, three months in the vear, during September, October and November, if made attractive, would draw large crowds, even in Omaha.

St. Paul Pioneer Press: When I called at the stationer's the other day to make a a purchase, the clerk handed me a picco of paper marked $2.25, and I walked with it to a raised desk in the middle of the store and paid my bill to a brunette young womau on & high revolving stool, with her hair claborately puffed, a rose in her tight little gray cloth basque, and as rare & combination of vouting red lins, fuil round cheeks, and a dainty turn-up nose, as ever gladdened the heart and eye of man. Across Broadway is a busy drug store, the same experience awaited me—the same except that here were two fashionably clad girls, fenced off from the public as 1fthey were as precious as the cash they handled, In a beautitul parlor, such as no man except the owner of a vast palace could have—a huge vaulted room, Ligger than most house sitos, and carpeted, frescoed, and littered with hardwood furniture—I found the oflice of a great insurance company. The president sat in one corner, and twenty feet away, reading her paper over her typewriter, sat a buxom woman of thirty. Ata great square table sat the vice-president, and, facing him, almost knee to knee, was seated a fair young girl, writing rapidly 48 he talked to her. In the centre of the room, by a desk that was surrounded by the desks of ?'mmz men with great ledg- ers, sat another girl with a tumbler of roses by her dimpled hands and wearing a dress that wus as elaborate as any street gown on Fifth avenue. Her dainty touch evoked a telegraphic clatter from a typewriter that shown like new silver plate, As 1 wandered through the group of art cabinets that formed the oflices of a great monthly magazine up town,* I found a corps of clerks and workers of all sorts equally made up of men ana women. In short, everywhere in the busi- ness districts were and are young women. Counting rooms wear the airs of parlors, and offices possess the atmosphere of drawing rooms. Scarcely any one has had more dprnc- tical experience with the new or of women than Miss Mary F. Seymour, the head of the Union Stenographic and Typewriting association of New York. She says that when she began work, ‘women were 80 few in her business that she was obliged to employ men to_assist her. As this was not ;n accord with her idea that women should help each other and couid be fitted for the work she was doing, she commenced to teach young ladies to become her assistants, and this started the now well known school of which she is the head. She found that parents were timid at first about allowing their daughters to associate in business with men. It was 1mpossible to argue upon her deep-rooted position that the most danger to a girl is in herself, und that those who are honest and dignitied and pure will not be harmed by contact with the world if reasonable discretion in the choice of work and positions is shown. Miss Sey- mour thinks that manhood is improved and Cpolished nd made gentle when the daily business life 1s spent in the presence of ono or more modest young women, and she makes the very strong point that the present femi- nine helpers of men in business are apt to be a superior class of girls. As to the eflect of the new life upon the girls them- selyes, she has made some very interest- ing obsery S| % t the girls who are earning their own living are the most interesting women she knows; the most sensible aud elevated in their speech, the least frivolous and empty- headed, the best informed and the most practical women of the time. By living and working with men young women grow accustomed to them, lose their sen- timental and romantic notions of the other sex, and gradually begin to judge men on their merits, apart from one another, ‘T'he girl of the old time regime saw only men with parlor manners, and every ong knows that silly and weak fel- lows often outshine good and shrewd ones insociety. But in business these women 8ee men as they are, in their nat- ural every day aspects, and they rate them according to the best of their power to judge character. It 15 Miss experience that the young ladi ness gnarry in the same proportion as piirls n the homes in the' city, and she thinks they are apt to marry better, But what is the effect on the man is the natural thought. In what way 1s woman aflected? What does the husband get on his side? In what respect are wives im- proved? As to this, Miss Seymour says that the advantage to the husband 1s very great. It is very true thatgirls in business have not learned to bake or sew, though the chanc she knew more or less about both before going tobusiness, but she has become systematic, business like and orderly. Her mental training has better fitted her for nmlmzinfi house well than e could cook and bake, and yet have no idena of system. Better yet, she has had her attention turned to afTairs, has heard public matters discussed and grown interested in them; knows what to read and learns to like to improve her mind, and to take part in the serious mascu- line conversation around her, Another very interesting talk on the subject was had with Mr. Jcrome B, Wheeler, one of the firm of R. H. Macy & Co., the largest employers of women in this eity, He has g the conse- quenc the feminine revolution much thonght—and by the y, these large shopping stores like his, have felt the revolution very deeply. In the largest of those stores in Brooklyn and New York it had always been the rule for the women to wait on the counter, and the men to do the more responsible work of managing and buying. In Macy's even the cashier is a woman; the superinten- dent in charge of all the employes, to 3,000 in all, is & won may toss his head and women ean be got cheaper than men suspect that is 5o, but after all that is a tritle in viewing the subject—a trifle like a speck of dust in the lense of an opera gluss through which we view a dr. But women's Iypewriters from ¥10 to § the wages of the girls and women in the shopping stores range from £5 to $25. The hizgest wo- mhn's tailor in this eity and London vays the young woman who designs drapery and braiding for his lady customers $50 u week. But to return to Mr. Wheeler: He says that the women who work for him marry : proportion as the women of asses who remain at home. That is He suys that the training and discipline the women et in a great store better fit them for the nagement of a home than home train- it makes them self-rehant, practi- cal, broad-minded, steady, sober. It rids daughter at home, of the frivolity and helplessness and of that abnormal senti- mentality that leaves so many girls a prey to the vicious. e says he foels very certain that the moral toue of l women s raised and ltrenfthanod by business experience. In e ihl years, among the many thousands of his female employes, he has not known of a single case of the ruin of a work girl by a man in the employ of the comcern. OUnc young woman went astray, and her parents suspected that some associate the store must have been her betrayer. Mr, Wheeler investigated the caso. irl had disappeared. — All the men in the store were dotailed (o search tho city, which was mapped out for the work. The girl was found and brought to Mr. Wheeler, to whom she confessed that her ruin was due to a distant relative of her mother. In some establishments tho serious mistake 1s maao of curtaining or partitioning the women apart from tho men, This surrounds the women with privacy and mystery, and 18 not d for them or the men. Tho main benefits ascribed to this juxtaposition of the sexes are lost in this way. But all this will woar away and vanish, just as the large modicum” of business men would not have a woman in their oflices five years nfo appears to have gone from the ken l!; mlvlimclux femininity, root, stock and ranch. R proe e R THE EDUCATIONAL PURSH Opened to the Extent of $162,000 for 8ix New Schools. The board of education held a special meoting Monday evening to canvass tho vote cast at the lust election upon the pro- position of expending $163,000 for new school sites and buildings during the year. There was a full sttendance. The canvass showed that 2,701 votes had been cast for the proposition and only 21 against it. The chairman of the board therefore declared that the proposition had been carried. The sites and buildings which itis pro- posed to purchase and erect with this money are as follows: On the High Schoolgrounds'to cost $35, on Twenty-eighth and Webster streets to cost $25,000; one site to be cho- sen and building to bo erected therecon near Izard school at an estimated cost of $32,000; a site and building at or near Traintown at an estimated cost of $37,000; a building to be erected at or near Ninteenth and Lako streets at an estimated cost of $20,000; a building to bo erected at or near Omaha View at an estimated cost of §18,000. Snperintendent James was given au- thority to engage twelve new teachers for the next school year, conditioned upon their passing the required examina- tion, A motion made that the board issue a proclamation submitting the question of voting bonds in the sum of $200,000 at the June election, Mr. Davis raised the question as to the authority of the board to issue such a proclamation, and 1t was referred to the judiciary committee with authority to pay for legal counsel. The committce on claims reported favorably on the claims for work on the Georgia avenue school buailding. Mr. Davis moved to amend the report by deducting $10 per_day from the bill for each ¢ a? since November 1, 1856, when the buil ding,m‘comir:l; to contract, should have been completed. Mr. Clark said the board failed to have the ground ready for the contractor to begin the work at the time originally agroed on. Mr. Coburn thought this fact might revent the imposition of the penalt{. The report as amended was inally adopted, and the board adjourned. ared with striet. to Purlty, Btrony Healthfalness, Dr. m n‘um«%m.fim‘“ no Ammonia, lum or Phospl Dr.Price's Bzuscs, Vi etc., Javos THE PERFES Self Revolving Churn Dasher Quickest Selhng Article Ever Inveniyd, OF DASHER, $1.25 Needsno talking, but really is the Prottiost Showing Artiele on the Market.
