The ofticers and men have certainly taken a sensi- ble view in furthering the project. In all metropolitan cities such a relief and benefit organization exists and has pro- ven of benefit to policemen, —_— Tue formal opening of the Creche building to-day for the inspection of our citizens should receive the encour- agement which this worthy enterprise . deserves, By the co-operation of many of our philanthropic ladies in the face of difficulties, a day nursery has been built for the accommodation of working- women's children.

The agreement of the conference mittecs of the two houses of con- gress on the omnibus bill for the admis- to statehood of North and South Dakota, Washingten and Montann was ratified by the senate and house on Wednesday, and the bill is now in the hands of the president.

The memory of men of middle life will recall the time when the ob- servance of this anniversary was very general throughout the country by mil tary parades and other approprsate ex- erci Of late years the recurrence of the day has attracted somewhat less attention than formerly, but it is stili widely observed, while the tendency appears to be to restore it to the promincnce 1t once held among the holidays. In most of the large cities to-day there will be public demounstrations in houor of the anniversury, and orators will draw lessons in patriotism from tne carcer of the Patherof his Country. We are neaving the end of the repub- lic’s first century under constitutional government, and as the mind is drawn to reflection upon the history of the na- tion’s beginning, and the events that preceded it, the name that staunds first among all the illustrious and immortal names of that epoch is that of George Washington. Among all the sterling patriots of that time, in warand in peace, history and the unpreju- diced opinion of mankind have accorded to Washington the most exalted position. If not fthe greatest of soldiers, he yet won vi tories outweighing in importance the grandest triumphs of the mightiest cap- tains of the world, 1If not the first of statesmen, he still possessed a wisdom to which statesmen bowed, if nov the most brilliant of leaders, yet men fol- lowed him with affection and contidence, We are wont to think of Washington as the wunsullied and incorruptible patriot, and it is veally in this that his character presents the strongest claim to the admiration and honor of Ameri- cuns. In whatever other respect men may agree that he was excelled by some of his contemporarics or by others pre- eminent in the history of human achievement, in the quality of patriot- ism he has had no superior. Has he ever had an equal? Here, at least, compar- ison must end, Thus the great examplo which Washington left to his country- men was that of the highest and most deyoted patriotism, and it is this qual- ity of his character that should have chief consideration to-day. And it ought to receive attention from every citizen as a source of inspiration and strength to his love of country. The durability of our {nstitutions and their value to mankind will fn no small degree depend upon the ex- tent to which we emulate the ex- ample of Washington, and danger toour liberty will come whenever we bogin to ndglect or ignore his precepts. But the time, it may be believed, is yet far off, if it shall ever come, when the ‘placing of American people will cense to honor all that Washi ance. Certainly there is no such pros- ent tendency, but there appears rathe to boa reawakening of interest in the example pracepts of Washington, and this is the direction which the pop- ular mind should be rouraged to take. and REFUTED AGAILN. If Mr. ller's statement that he paid tho Omaha Bee four thousand dollars for five articles in that paper turns out to be correct , it will shake the faith that the peoplo now have in that great reform journal of vraska.—Kearncy Hub.

The quite general r rnition of Washington’s birthday in the schools of the city by appropriate ex: and the decoration of the school rooms with the national flag is to be commended. No proper opportunity to instil patvi- otism in the minds of the youth of the country should be lost, and there is no better wedium for imparting such in- struction than the public schools In the minds of thousands of children these excrcises commemorative of the birth of Washington have awakened an interest in the story of the Father of his County which will be permancnt, and which will lead many of them to an investigation that have its in- fluence in making them better citizons. Its tendency is to attract the attention of the young toward the histor, the country, and all people of in gence will see the obvious wisdom importance of doing this. [t has been a fault or defeet in our public school 1n- struction generally that too little at- tention has been paid to teaching the history of the United States, and still less to infusing the spivit of a true patriotism in the pupils of the schools. Within a year or two, however, n reform in this respect has been inaugurated, more particularly in the schools of the east, and it has been received with great favor both I parents and pupils, The west, ev ready to march in the column of progress, is taking up the idea, and it is gratifying to find Omaha in the front rank. There could be no better lesson with which to begin the instruction of American youth inspatriotism than the story of the carcer of George Washing- ton, the forcmost patriot, mot onl of America, but of the world—first in war, first in peace, and first in the hearts of hiscountrymen.” The simple and appropriato exercises held in the schools of Omaha in commemoration of the birth of this great man cannot fail tobe preductive of most beneficent re- sult It is a depurture which merits hearty encouragement. were SoME interesting facts developed at the recent convention of the national ele ctric light association at Chicago. The committee appointed to collect statistics on the underground system reported it had come to the conclusion from the weight of testimony that the wires underground had ed a failur The city electrician of Chicago, supported by the testimony of representativ from Philadelphia, took exception to this report. It was shown that the conduit tem in Chi- cago, Philadelphia, New York and other cities, had long been in use and had proven eminently satisfactory. In Chicago tric light wires had been put under ground for the lastsix years, and telegraph wires for the last thir- teen years. It would seem, therefore, that the committee’s report was biased and untrustworthy, and the convention was justified in refusing to adopt it. The cleetric light people evidently ave d that the conduit sy tie only practical one, and it reflects to their eredit that they refused to be im- posed upou by adopting a report drawn in tho interest of the overhead wire monopolic pro convin ystem is Tie action of the house in indefi- nitely postponing Denman’s bill pro- viding for the state publication of school books was wise. The author of this measure doubtless meant well, but the policy he would inaugurate is not a good one. It would notonly prove to be very expensive, and open the way to large steals, but in all proba- bility the schools would get a very poor quality of text books. This has been the experience of California, and there isno reason to suppose it would not be repeated in Ne- braska. Itis possible to regulate the purchase of school books, the import- ance of which is not questioned, so as to secure protection against designing or unserupulous publishers, without re- course to the hazardous expedient of placing the publication of such books in the hands of tho state THE inter-stato commission has just coneluded its lavors in investigating the charges brought by New York and and Philadelphia grain men to the efloct that the railroads were discrimi- nating in favor of Baltimore in the corn trade, The commission found, however, that Baltimore got the lion’s share of the corn export trade for the reason that its geographical location, combined with the energy and enter- prise of its merchants, made it the best and cheapest port for corn shipment on the Atlantic seaboard, It ngw remains for New York and Philadelphia to im- prove their export facilities and methods if they desire to gompete with Baltimore on equal footing. m——— FOoR the first time since the opening of the winter pork packing season, No- vember 1, Omaha has passed her com- petitors and bas firmly fixed her place | as the th \gton has left for thefr guid- | packing center in tho country.

Mr, Judson was born in Georgla, and wicn he was about fourteen years old his master used him for training bloodhounds and for two years he did nothing but run from the hounds, The master would give him two hours start and then let the hounds ou his track.
