OMAHA DAILY BEE: SUNDAY EPTEMBER 18, 1887.~TWELVE PAGES, Revolutionary. For the first time in the history of this city and county a bold and brazen at- tempt is made to override tiie will of the rank and file of the republican party as expressed through the usual channel, the primary election and delegate conven- tion. Under the leadership of its chair- man, W. F. Bechel, the republican central comimittee has arrogated to it- self the appointment of delegates to the state convention. This revolutionary action will be resented by reputable repudlicans of all factions. It is an assumption of power which no commit- tee has the right to exercise, and on its face bears the stamp of conspiracy. The republicans of Douglas county never will consent that they shall be misrepresented in the state convention by row- dies, bummers and political shy- sters, who dare not submit their names at a primary election. The com- mittee which Mr. Bechel selected to make up the slate are for the most part of that disreputable class. But even if they were the most respectable of republicans the right of the commitiee to appoint delegates to the state convention must be repudiated and contested at all hazard. And we venture to admonish republican candidates who hope to be elected thisfall that unless this revolutionary aection of the committee is promptly revoked, their chances of success will be seriously jeop- ardized. E—— The Overcrowded Schools, It seems that those whose duty it is to make provision for the annual attend- anoe tn the public sehools nave this year fallen a good deal short in their estimate of the accommodations that would be re- quired. Provision was made fora mod- crate inereass, but the actual increase 13 largely in excess of what was expected, and additional applicants for entrance to the schools present themselves daily. The result is that the board and the superin- tendent find themselves in a perplexing position, and while they are planning to get out of it hundreds of children are losing their school- ing. Tho ultimate solution of the difficulty for the present must be found in renting buildings, where they can be found in eligible locations, to ac- commodate the overflow from the city's school houses, ¢ The experience is instructive and ad- monitory. It suggests that Omaha's population is growing wmuch fuster than is generally supposed. Aun increase of two thousand children in the public schools is a signiticant fact which very vointedly illustrates the city’s progress. The admonitinn the experience conveys to the school authorities 18 that they should keep intelligently informed re- garding the city'sadvance in population, and not be satisfied with estimates based upon past experience, which must neces- sarily be unsafe. There is no subject connected with municipal administration that calls for closer and more careful and intelligent attention than that of provid- ing for public education. Present errors may be pardonable, but similar mistakes in future will not be. Omaha must meet every demand upon its public school system. E— The Catholic National University. ‘The prelates who recently met in Bal! more decided to locate the Catholic Nu- tional University at Washington. There ‘Was a strong movement to fix the site in some western city, but the majority ruled adversely. This was a mistake which will become more apparent hereafter. The growth of the republic is westward, and as the university will be of more benefit to future generations than to the present it should have been located where it would have been within equal reach of all. Omaha is very nearly in the geographical center of the union, and this city would no doubt have been tho best location for the university that could have been seleoted. There are, besides, more Catholics in the west thau in the east, and had a western site been selected the money required for the institution could have been raised much more easily than can now be done. The amount required will be about $8, - 000,000. Of this sum $700,000 has already been secured, including the $300,000 given by Miss Caldwell. This lady is said w have been somewhat offended because Bishop Spalding, of Illnois, was not made rector of the new university, and to have threatened to withdraw her gift. But she could not take it back if she would now. Her endowment is in the form ot a trust deea held by the trustees. Besides, no slight was put upon Bishop Soalding. He has been the prime mover in this matter, is very popular among the Catholics, and could have been the first rector had he so de- sired. He refused the honor. The rector- ship was conferred upon Rev. Dr. Keane, bishop of Richmond. Of the $300,000 given by Miss Caldwell $30,000 will be used for a site, $170,000 is to be expended on the main building and the interest on the remaining $100,000 will be used to maintaiu one or two pro- fessors. The plans for the main building have been selected and work will be begun next spring. A letter from Pove Leo XILI approving the founding of the university was read at the meeting of the bishops. In this he says that the university must remain under the authority and pro- tection of American bishops. They are to regulate the course of study, make rules of discipline and select the profes- sors. With the large endowment of this institution, the generous support it will receive from the Catholios of this coun- try, and the great efforts that will be put forth in its behalf by the church, there can be no doubt it will become one of the foremost seats of learning in the world, em—— Royal Interest in Americans. The anxiety recently manifested by the Prince of Wales to associate with distin- guished Americans, and to acquire authentic information regarding this country and its affairs, is commondable. 1t is not certain that the prince will ever be the sovereign of the British nation, though of course the probabulities are in his favor. But he is no longer a young man, and from now on the dissipations of youth and his earlier manhood may be expected to tell upon him with increasing force, His expectation of life eannot be regarded as very much greater than that of the queen, who is still in robust and vigorous heakth, and whose past lfe has been such as to exact no penalties of the present. However, having in view the probability of his be- coming e king, itis well that ‘he should improve every opportunity to learn all he can respecting America, whose ex- paading influence in thé world wmust be apparent to him, carrying with it the as- surance that this country must in time become the most powerful foree among the nations in moulding the political, moral and social conditions of mankind. A poasible king cannol afford to be only partially acquainted with this country, and being a man of fair intelligence the Prince of Wales must know thataccurate information cannot be obtained from English sources. The prince has been peculiarly fa- vored in his vestigations by the presence in FEurope this year of distinguishod Americans, He ap- pears from all accounts to have estcemed it an especial great privilege to meet Mr. Blaine, which he has been enabled to do at least twice, notwithstanding that gen- tleman's manifestation of complete in- difference to the royal attention pressed upon him. It is quite the unusual thing for royalty to scek association with the representative of a republic, but it is nn- derstood that this is what was done by the heir to the British throne with respect to Mr. Blaine, and it is understood also that the latter responded in his own time and way, inferentially to impress upon the prince the equality of man agreeably to the American idea. Whether or no such a lesson in the fundamental prin- ciple of republicanism was in- tended, there is reason to believe that the effect upon royalty was salutary, for the prince has since been freely hob- nobbing with distinguished Americans, who have found him a most affuble, agreeable and jolly sort of a fellow. Among those favored with the royal con- sideration is Mr. Chauncey M. Depew, who seems to have been recommended to attention by Mr. Blaine as a ‘‘typical American,” s distinction which the statesman disclaimed and the railroad president did not fully accept. How- ever, the latter regaled the prince in his inimitable way, and the dispatches re- port that their dinner, which was entirely to themselves, was very greatly cnjoyed by his royal highness. With such sources of the prince ought to have ob- tained a pretty good idea of America, and it was certainly his own fault of he didn't, Itis to be regretted, however, that he did not meet one other American whom he would have found not less typical and instructive than those he did meet—Mr. Murat Halstead. As the representative of the greatest power in Awerican affairs, it was a mistake to overlook the editor. Itis not doubted that the prince has been largely the gainer by his association with representa- tive citizens of this rerubhc, the good effects of which m ay perhaps become ap- parent some time in the future. nfermation There is Safoty in Oanada. ‘The opinion of the secretary of state on the request for the extradition of MoGarigle, thie Chicago fugitive in Can- ada, removes all doubt as to the safety of that individual in the Douunion from any authority in this country. The ground that his escape was concocted by foreigners and carried out by them by means of a foreign vessel the secretary shows to be insuflicient. The chiei of the alleged agentsin effecting the escave, although a British subject, had been for a long time within the exclusive jurisdic- tion of the United States, answerable generally to its laws, and the British gov- ernment was in nowise responsible for his alleged criminal conduct. Nor does the fact that the vessel on which Me- Garigle escaped was of British ownership afford a ground for demanding his sur- render. The point 1s made that a ma- jority of the fugitive criminals from this country have escaped on foreign- owned vessels, but this has never been made a ground for asking extradition, and the secretary goes so far as to say that were a criminal to make his escape on a foreign man-of-war it could not be regarded as a valia ground for claiming a surrender, ‘Thisgovernment has itself set the precedent in support of this view. Regarding the suggestion that a re- quest might be made for surrender on the ground of comity, the secretary says it would be contrary to the practice of the government and is not to be entertained because this government could mot reciprocate. A few such re- quests were made before extradition treaties were entered 1nto, but as long ago as 1845 it became the declared policy of the government not to ask another government as an act of comity to de- liver up a fugitive from justice, and 1t has repeatedly refused during the last thirty years to make such a request, A voluntary offer of surrender, as in the case of Tweed, would of course be ac- cepted, but with the distinet understand- ing that it should involve no claim upon the United States beyond the require- ments of the treaty extradition. This opinion conveys official assur- ance to all criminals whose crimes are not in the limited hst of extraditable offenses that they are perfectly secure in Canada, under whatever circnmstances they may get there, against the author- ities of the United States. It also very strongly emphasizes the necessity for a revision and enlargement of our extradi- tion arrangement with Great Britain so far at least as it relates to Canada. The failure of the scnate to act in this matter has resulted, as it was expected to do, in a considerable increase of the unextra- ditabie crimes and a large growth of the American colony 1n the Domunion, 1tis not to be supposed that the interests of &sgicu in this particular will continue to ignored, thereby inviting crime, and it ia to be hoped the senate at its next session will not neglect this very im- portant subject. Spelling Reformers. This paper has received a copy of the official organ of the Spelling Reform as- sooiation. Its object is to reform the present rules governing correct spelling. ‘I'hat there is greater need of reform in incorrect spelling goes withont saying. ‘The only question 18, how the reform can be brought about and made effective. It is & hard matter to root out ignor- ance of “English as she is spoke,” and more difficult to do away with inexcusable carelessness on the part of people who profess to be educated. We know at least one teacher i the Omaha high school who misspells com- monplace words habitually. ‘Some of the most eminent ministers of the gospel who hold college diplomas seldom write an ordinary letter without making blunders in spelling, and many promiuent doctors and lawyers are constantly guilty of pen- ning good English in bad ortho; ng:y.

For the past ten yors it been the habit of disreputybld factional leaders and self-constituted party oracles at the outset of every campaign to make furi- ous personal attacks wpon me while try- ing to cover their own schemes to control conventions. These periodical outtursts of factional malignity are nearly always coupled with the stigma that I am not only a traitor to republicanism but have also betrayed political friends and associates whefiever they have failed to respond to my venal demands or refused to obey my political mandate, 1 Just now we are on the eve of another campaign, aod the infamous personnl warfare which has been waged so often against me, is again renewod. This time the nssailants are a brace of adventurers who came here scarcely a year ago with the stain of corruption in oflice attached to their garments. Inspired by certain malodorous candidates, they take up the old cry of the railroad faction which used the machinery ot the party in this state to keep the corporate fetters riveted se curely around the necks of the masses. Beeause I have seen fit to warn repub- licans of Douglas county against nomi- nating disreputable or notoriously unfit men for county offices I am brandoed as a traitor to the republican party, and a political Jonah. The republicans of this county are told that “‘no greater favor could be done the party than for that pufled up little viper to oppose it. His fluence is of a negative quality. It. de- stroys whatever it attempts to help, * * Mr. Rosewater can't ‘bolt’ the republi- can party. Heisnot a republican, and is not to recognized. Neither is he a democrat. He 15 a hermaplrodite, 2 what-is-it, a political upas tree. He may oppose republican candidates, but he cannot hurt them. He is a viper whose fangs have been drawn and whose hiss is no longer terrifying.’ This is by no means the first time that such vile abuse aud insolent talk has ap- peared in the Republican with regard to wyself. The proprictors of that paper, past as well as present, have always assumed that they were the sole keepers of the republiean consciencé. ¥or years they have subsisted on railroad job work and eked out a miscrable existence by contributions from candidates and office- holders for lack of legitimate patronage. The rank and file of republicans have as little confidence in the sincerity of its utterances as the public in general have in the integrity of its owners. Righthere at its own home, which should be its stronghold, two-thirds of the republicans persistently decling to read the sheet. I should not stoop te notice the con- temptible personnlities of the venal rowdies who havé revamped the musty slunders of the old rafiroad gang ‘and their henchmen,, werq it not for the fact that more than half of the ponulation of Omaha and Nebraska are comparative new comers, who know nothing about the ordeal through which the republican pacty .in this state has passed during the.struggle with the con- federated forces marshalled by the rail- roads in combination with public thieves and plunderers. ¢ In this struggle I have borne the brunt of battle and upheld the flag of true republicanism which was trailed in the dust by the camp-followers and spoilsmen who are republi- cans for revenue only and simply use the cloak of republicanism as a cover for their infamous conspiracies to degrade the republican purty to a mere serf of grasping monopolies. * Does this constitute treason to the repub- lican party? When a mere boy, in 18566, [ marched with the pioneers of the west- ern reserve under the banmer of “‘Free Speech, Free Soil, Freeman and Free- mont.”" In 1838, while stationed at Oberlin, Ohio, L carried letters from their tamilies; to John M. Langston, Profes- sors Fairchild and Peck to the Cleveland jail, where they were then incarcerated for assisting a fugitive slave in regaining his freedom. In 1859, while at Murfrees- boro, Tenn., T was violently assaulted by a southern fire-eater for expressing free- soil sentiments, and the court justiied the assault by dismissing the complaint, I was a union man innorth Alubama during the exciting period of the cam- paign that gave the republican party its first president, and with other union men went through the fiery ordeal of facing secossion n its citadel. It took merve and moral courage to stand by the flag in that section in those stormy days. But 1am taunted now about my republicanism. When Tennessee soceded I cast my maiden vote aganst secession. When the union troops made their entrance into the Tennessee capital I volunteered my services personally to Thomas A. Scott, assistant secretary of war, and by his direction put up the first telegraph line across the Cumberland for the union army before the arrival of the military telegraph corps, for which service I never asked nor received pay. Within thirty days from that time I en- listed 1 the United States mlitary telegraph corps and made two campaigns in Virginia. Independ- ent of other chances of war, 1 incurred the risk of capture by the reb- els, which would have been followed by capital punishment, because I had been a citizen of Alabama and Tennessee. But I am disloyal now and not a good enough republican for men whose republicanism always has been for revenne only. My father voted for Abraham Lincoln; my six brothers are all republicans, and I have voted for every réepublican presi- dential candidate trom, Grant down to Blame. « During nearly twenty-four years ' resi- dence in Omuha [ have glways been an active republican. Ajthough my b usiness as telegraph manager was entirely out- side of politics, 1 was a delegute in half a dozen city and county conventions dur- ing territorial days, and worked hard in each campaiga withaut hope of favor, of- fice or reward. < When Nebraska conferred the right of suffrage on the negro, I was am ong the handful of republivans who volunteered to protect the colored voters against a mob that surrounded the polls and threatened their lives. But I am not a good enongh republi- can for the milk-sops who were 1 their swaddling elothes at that time. Since I beeame the founder of the Beg, every republican victory in this city and county was largely due to my efforts, not only through the paper, but by tireless pers onal exertion in the field. When some ot the stalwart republican leaders of to-day were hand in hand with the enemy during the critical ‘period of coutidence has reconstruction, my republicanism went unchallenged.

Farwell, of Chicago, says that Judge Greshawm, is his first cholee for the presidency, General Sherman second and John Sherman third. In regard to the recent mention of his own name, he said it would be time enough to say what he wouid do when he was endorsed by the convention, ‘The bitierness of Democratic factional feeling In Louisianna is shown by the fact that the courts there have enjoined the As- cension Democrat from supporting General Nicholls as a candidate for governor against tho present incumbent, McEnery, on the ground that the charter of the paper provides that it shall be demoeratic, while Nicholls is not a democrat. 1n Trenton, N.

We take it that this is why the great vork packers like Armourand others are put- ting in hog packing plants at Omaha and other western points, and using the lan guage of politics, a little out of the ususl way, we point with pride to the inter-state law as the possible reason for this very pleas- ant featura of the present situation, e The New ‘‘Hail CUolumbia.” Oliver Wendcll Holmes, |Sung in Independonce square, Philadel- delphia, Saturday, September 17, Look our ransomed shores around, Peace and safety wo have found !

RILEY, a writer employed by the BrE, was somewhat surprised the other day while reading Ben: Perley Poore’s Reminis- cences upon finding page after page that he himself had written four or five years ago. Mr. Riley was a contributor of special arti- cles to the Washington papers, and it ap- pears that Major Poore must have carefully filed these articles away for future use in his “Reminiscences.” That they have been used, word for word and without any credit being given to Mr. Riley, is proven by Mr. Riley’s scrap book which contains the identical ar- ticles as far back as 1853, It is safe to say that the state fair man- agement cleared over $10,000 out of the exhi- bition of Jay-Eye-See. The managers of the Omaha fair could have done the same thing, but they were so short-sighted asto refuse the offer of J. 1. Case to exhibit the famous trotter for $1,000. “1 PASSED through Wahoo the other day, and it recalled my first newspaper experl- ence,” said Ariel N. Barney, the corpulent manager of Thomas W. Keene. “I went to Wahoo in 1874, when 1 was about sixteen vears old, to work in a drug store. The town was a mere hamlet, and was without a rail- road. The drug store was next door to the Nebraska Revellle, a republican weekly newspaper published by a man named Me- Laughlin. I had very iittle to do in the drug store, and so I put in most of my time in the printing oftice and soon learned to set type. Ina few months L not only set all the type on the paper, which was a patent inside sheet, but L aid all the editorial and local writing, and worked off the entire edition of 700 papers on the Washington hand press, my only assistant belng a roller boy. 1 did all this work for amusement. 1got no pay forit, and McLaughlin who was lazy and drunk most of the time permitted me to nave my own way. Occasionally he found fault ‘with some of my editorial utterances, but he couldn’t afford to discharge me, as 1 was the cheapest help he could get and he didn't want to doany work at all, #¥x “One day some democratic politiclans made me believe it was advisable to change the politics of the paper. Accordingly, the next week, at one fell swoop as It were, I changed the Reveille from a republican to a demecratic paper. I apologized to the public for the past political course of the Reveille, and promised that atonement should be made In the future course of the paperas a staunch democratic standard-bearer. This radical change created a decided sensation, Imme- diately after the publication of the paper M- Laughlin came tumbling down stairs, half- dressed, and holding a copy in his hand. He was trembling with rage, aud denounced me most bitterly. 1 of course telt very sorry for what I had done. The fact Is that I was so youngthatl did not know better, and was easily led astray by the democratic politiclans who took advantaze of wmy youth. To make a long story short, the flop in politics ruined the Reveille, and McLaughlin soon went to Montana, where he died a few years afterwards. Whether he died from grief or drink 1 have never been able to learn, " “tiad it not been for my size,”” continned Barney, “I would have been kicked out of town many & time for the roastings 1 eave different men. But I was so thin and sickly looking that no omne would piteh onto me. My size protected me then, as it does now. 1 weighed 115 pounds then, and now [ tip the scales at 195. This Increase has taken place within two years. What brought it about? Well, 1 aseribe it solely to the pre- seription of a New York physician, who told me to drink an abundauce of milk and rum.
