THE St. Paul Pioneer-Press, which is commendably energetic in obtaining in- formation regarding the material condi- tion and prospects of the northwest, speaks most cheeringly of the outlook. Unless all signs fail, says that journal, this is to prove one of the most prosper- ous seasons ever known. The ground for this is in the fact that throughout the entire region the crops are in mag- nificent condition—not merely good, but up to this time far above the average. If nothing happens to destroy this prom- ise, says the Press, the narvest of 1888 will be one memorable in the annals of agriculture in the northwest. All that is true of that section will apply equally to other portions of the west, and es- pecially to Nebraska and Towa, Tine San Francisco papers note a marked revival of mining, due largely to the increased yield of the Comstoc lode. Most of the mining districts are said to be swarming with prospecto but this is more particularly true of the Comstock region, about which gr expectations again center. Electricity 2 amotive power instead of steam or Jompressed air is being introduced, and fhe consequences are expected to be in- portant, It is quite possible that its general application may lead to the re- opening of mines which were abandoned in former duys because the ore was too, poor to stand the cost of mining, drain- ing and hoisting by the old methods, With what promises to be a remarkably rich gold find in Michigan, and the re- vival of mining on the Pacific const, there is favowable prospect that the present year will largely increase the country’s supply of the procious metals. —— ion managers that Tne project of erecting a bronze statue in memovry of the late Thomas J. Potter appears to be muking satisfs tory progress. The commission having charge of the matter is actively at wor and remembering the high estecem in which Mr. Potter was hel? by the em- ployes of the railroads with which he was connected, theve ought to be little difliculty in securing the fund necessary to orect the statue. This must be done by voluntary subscriptions and will require time, but the almost universal favor with which the projectis received by railroad men is assurance that it will be only necessary to ask in order to receive. Tui BEE has heretofore com- mended the project. Mr. Potter was a railroad man of exceptional ability whose career was in a number of res- pects an example which those oceu- pying positions similar to those in which he obtained distinction would do well to emulate. There are abundunt rea- sons why it is desirable to perpetuate the memory of such a career, and the railrogd men with whom Mr. Potter was identified can in no other way so well atest their admiration of his abilit, worth and character as by the erec: tion of the proposed statue.- All such should -respond promptly, and . with whatever gencrosity their means will warraat, Lo the call for subscriptions, The House Passes the Mills Bill The house of represcntatives yester- day passed the Mills tarifl bill by & vote of 162 agninst 149, the majority for the measure being 18, There were three democratic votes against the bill, while it received the support of two republi- cans and four i endents, - Mr. Ran- dall expressed his opposition to the bill, thus keeping his record untarnished, but asked to be paired, doubtless to avoid casting his vote against the ma- jority of his party. It has been con- ceded for several weeks that the bill would puss the house, and assuranco became doubly sure after the vote to retain wool on the free list. Siuce then the only question has been as to the majority the measure would have, and the result does not vary materially from the estimates of the best informed observers, The total number of repre- sentativ 5, 80 that there were only fourteen who did not vote on the bill. Thus has ended in one branch of con- gress one of the most extended and and memorable discussions in parli mentary Twenty-three day and eight evening sessions were con- sumed in general debate, during which one hundred and fiftg-one specches were made, while under the five minute rule the debate consumed thirty-one days. Nover before was the wholesubject ofthe tariff so thorougly and comprehen- ively discussed, and while unquestiona- bly there was a great deal said of very little value, and a number of those who spoke on the subject went over practi- cally the same greund, it is undoubt- cdly true that the contribution made to the exposition of every side, phase and relation of the tariff question is on the whole the most extensive and complete the discussion of the subject has ever received. The Mills bill as passed pre; sents numerous changes from the or nal draft. A score or more of articles that were included in the free list when the bill was reported to the house have been restored to the dutiable list, most of them at the instance of democrats whose political in- terests were at stake, and who we enabled to convinee the democratic eau- cus of the expediency of the change. But the most important and fa ing features of the bill, with the free wool clause at the bead, remain as orig- inally presented. The bill as passed will not effect the reduction in revenue that was estimated when it was ported to the house. The measure will now go to the sen- ate, and nobody expects that it will pass that body in its present forin, if at It has been understood that the se finance committee was at wor substitute, but there no assurs that one will be offered.” The truth pears to be that the difficulty uniting the republicans on a measure 15 insurmountable. The house bill, how- ever, will either be rejected by the sen- ate, which is the most probable result, or will be amended as to become practically a new measure, and thus re- turned to the house would certainiy en- counter rejection there. It is hardly re- 80 possible that the senate will reach final action on the bill before the middle of August, and the discussion is likely to be prolonged heyond that time. In view of what is fairly to be expected of the senate, the probubility of any legis- lation for tariff revision at the present session of congress does not appear any stronger by reason of the passage of the Mills bill. Music in the Public Schools. A few days ago an Omaha daily pub- lished the following extract from a le ter which was alleged to have been written by the wife of an Omaha work- ing man: Tum the mother of two daughters who at- tend school, and I wantto thank you heartily for what you said about music in the schools. My husband is a mechanic. His wages keep us comfortably, but we cannot afford to pay for any accomplishments for our childre but we regrot to see them grow up wi out. The mother that expects her daugh- ters to acquire musical culture in ‘the public schools is lubori under a delu- sion. There are five thousand girlsand about as many boys in attendance at the public schools of Omaha. These h- childven, graded into classes of from thirty to one hundred, are quartered in about forty school houses, within the avea of five miles by six which this city covers. Before music was discarded as a branch of in- struction, two teachers were employed to instruct these ten thousand: boys and girls in music. Now we would like to know how much attention these teach- ers could give to the training of the two girls whose mother is so anxious to have them acquire the musical accom- plishment? Even if each of the two hundred and odd teachers in the public schools of Omaha were brilliant musi- cians, to what extent could they impart musical culture without seriously inter fering with studies that are ntial to eve pupil? Instruction instru- mental mus question in the public school To what extent can vocal music be taught to classes of childen composed of the few naturally gifted with a voice, and the larger number who lack of all concep- tion of time or tune. It would be just as sensible to attempt the concerted in s certainly out of the training of a promiscuous collee- tion of robbins, sparrows, canar- ies, crows, thrushes, guineca hoens, and humming birds. While we do not deprecate singing in the public schools as o mere vocal evercise, it is uttorly impractical to depend upon promis- cuous instruction in the public schools for any musical culture that would rank as an accomplishment. The daughters of mechanics and la- boring men can only hope to acquire instruction in the public schools in that elementary knowledge which is indi pensable to the men and women of this progressive age. Music, painting and other artistic accomplishments can only be ncquired by those who have the lais- ure and the means to gratify their tastes and ambition. r—————— The Ney Mystery. THe Beg is in receipt of an interest- ing manuscript coveriig the romantic story of the supposed escape of Marshal Ney from France to America, his life as Peter Ney, the southern schoolmaster, and his subsoguent dgathia North Caro- lina. In addition to the valuable and deeply interesting information which appeared in the papers of St. Louis ard other cities some years after the Car linian schoolmaste death, the com- y Mr. James Grove, of Papillion, 15 eonsiderable valuable data in the form of personal correspondence with old time southerners who knew Peter Bey in his life and became firmly con- vinced ot his identity with Napoleon's fumous marshal. Whatever m be the historical value of Mr. Grove's man- useript, it presents in readable and con- secutive form a supposed incident in the life of a remarkable man of the most intensely interesting ¢ History takes leave of Marshal when he fell before a volley from the rifles of his own soldiers in the garden of the Luxembour, The romantic story compiled by Mr. Groves re lates how his trusty soldiers ‘‘fired high,” and Noey, unwounded, was hur- ried into a coffin and finally smuggled to America. The story of the life of Peter Ney in North Cavolina is told in the words of those with whom he asso- ciated day after day in his work asa school teacher. Though all positive proof has been destroyed in the loss of ey Peter Ney's private papers, supposed to have been stolen by French agents; the evidence of his daily life, his intimate acquaintance with French history, and the tactics of wary Ins superior skill as a swords- man and his involuntary references to the family and incidents of the life of Marshal Ney as pass in his own past, make out a strong ¢ The Ia of time may possibly dispel the durk- ness in which the seeret is involved, but in the meantime Mr. Grove thrown a great deal of light bafling but deeply of modern history has upon a interesting episode THERE is now in session at San I'r cisco the National Educati Assoc tion at which several thousand educes ors from all parts of the country ar King part. The ohjects of thi ition are to elevate the character and 1ea the interests of the profession of teaching and to promote the cause of ass0- of ad public school education in the United States. With these broad principles in view, the societ has done noble work for the diffusion of knowledge. One of the first aims of that body at its organization in 1557 was to promote slation in all the states and terri- tories which should sccure to the citi- zens of those states free schools. At that time not more than one-half of the states had such school law their itute hooks. The association next bent its efforts in ostablishing novrmal In this effort also the associa- tion has proven itself a powerful facto since nearly every state has fessional schools for the prope ing of for instre in the common schools.

It has shown itself a strong friend to the kindergarten system, and to the manual training schools. Keeping abreast with the demands of the on schools, pro- train- teachers ing cognition country s advo- associntion. as The age, the National Educational association de- serves the support of every true lover of the public retirement of Rev. Dr. Sherrill T from the pastorship of the First Congr gational church is to be regretted not only by the members of his own church, but by the community at large. For nincteen years Dr. Sherrill has been identified with our city. He has lived among us when Omaha was a village and when his own parishioners were but a handful. His good name extended beyond the houndaries of his communmty, and his voice and influence were at all times raised in behalf of morality, edu cation and good government. A mun of liberal culture and broad views, he brought into sympathy with himself thousands of our people, and succeeded in building up one of the most promi- nent and largest congregations in the city. In his proposed vacation for travel and study Dr. Sherrill carvies with him the best wishes of our citizens, and the hope that he may soon return to his field of labor. THE inquest in the case of Mr. Man- deville, who died in prison under the coercion aet, has brought to light the inhuman barbarity of the tories in the treatment of their Irvish prisoners. The unhappy man while suffering from sickness was put on punishment diet although his health was declining, and was deprived of his clothes for twenty- four hours for breaking a prison rule. Ingland can never break the Irish heart by killing off her patriots. A RESOLUTION in favor of paying sal- aries to members of the house of com- mons was defeated the other day by the tories. The pleasing fiction that no member of parliament receives pay for his service may be a source of supreme satisfaction to John Bull, but on this side of the water the principle that a servant is worthy of his hire has always been found most conducive o integrity in publie life. ——— THE Burlington engineers speak with nouncertain voice what stand they pro- pose to maintain. — The Original Democratic Trust.

The value of these observations of occultations is that they provide data for ascertaining the moon’s actual position in space by new and independent computation. The data of former computations were recorded occultations of bright stavs. The ohservations now to be made at nbridge are but a repetition of those made in but from the point of view of science are equally im- portant, the latter being the means of verifying the f hese observa- tions we of three cli , defined in Professor Pickering’s official statement as: (1) Occultations, as above de- ibed; (2) an investigation of the va- tions of actinic brightness occasioned by the eclipse; and, (3), a search by ans of photography for a lunar sat- No lunar satellite was found in Janu- ary last, and the only possibility of find- ing one now is in the contingency that wellite may then have been in position behind the moon. If so, the probability is that it will be in view on the coming occasion. The instruments in use will be the 15- inch equatorial, the 13-inch. Boyden telescope, the Il-inch refractor of the r department, the S-inch Bates nd the H-inch and 4-inch yden telescopes. A new instrument, novel in device as well as construetion, will be employed, called a photometer. Other photometers of the former pat- teyn will 50 be used. The novel principle of the new instrument is that it permits lenses to be dispensed with, the observer working with the naked as did old Tycho Brahe and his predecessors, What observations are taken this time will be upon this conti- nent, as the eclipse will not be total in rope. - HONEY FOR THE LADIES.
