PAnE confined at the state in- sane asylum at the expense of Douglas county who arve able to pay for their Qwn maintenance should not be made a burden to the taxpayers. The county commissioners have a duty to perform in this matter which hasbeen neglected already too long. THE railroads leading into Nebraska have promised to inaugurate a series of harvest excursions into the state from various sections of the east. The enterprise should by all means be en- couraged. Harvest excursions a fow yoars ago were a popular attraction and resulted in bringing many permanent residents into Nebraska, THAT irrepressible nuisance, John P, St. John, is at it again. This time heis in Towa, where he is trying to do- velop the strength of the third party enough to allow a democratic governor to creep in this fall. What the prohibs will gain by electing a democratic gov- ernor, neither St. John nor any other crank like him can tell, Tine reported consolidation of the Omaha Grain Elevator company with the firm of Himebaugh & Merriam is likely to increase the storage elevator capacity in this city. The two firms have practically had control of the grain business along the line of tho Union Pacific for years and their com- bining simply strengthens their hold upon the territory. THE lessees of the state school lands are finding fault with the recent ap- praisements on the score that the reatal has been extravagantly increased. ‘While there may be insolated cause for finding faulv with the work of county boards in this particular, the fuct can Dot be disputed that heretofore school 1ands have been assessed altogether too low. It was high time to raise their valuation at something near the value of abutting lands. Lossees havo no reuson 10 complain if thoy are not called upon to pay a rental equal to the roturns made by present assessors upon other lands.

THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: SU STATE DEVELOPMENT. The man who can make two blades of grass grow where but one grew be- fore is a benefactor of the human race. Any set of men who contribute toward developing the resources of this prolific state, by whatever means they may employ, aro entitled to encourngement. But there is a way how todo a thing, and a way how not to do it. Many do- serving and worthy enterprises have proved lamentable failures hecause their projectors started wrong. With alt due respect for the business tact and good intentions of the men who organized the Nebraska State Development association, we entertain serions doubts about their ability to accomplish much for Nebraska, The association is the outcome of a convention held in this city by delegatos selected by the boards of trade in the various towns and cities of Nebraska, The prime oh- jeot and purpose of this convention was to agroe upon concerted action of the va- rious business organizations in the state with a view to inducing toreign capital to invest in this state and encouraging immigration of the well-to-do industrial classes of the east. It was expected that the promoters of this meritorious movement would organize a stato board of trade and under that name carry on the campaign of state dovelopment. Any document emunating from a state board of trade would be received with confidence and would carcy weight. But the convention resolved itself into an executive comwmittoe, and that com- mittee blunderingly adopted the name of the Nebraska State Development association. There are those who contend that there is nothing in a name. In this instance, however, the name is almost certain to frustrate the “object for which the convention of boards of trade was held. What credence will any- body in tho onst gve to anything that emanates from a ‘“‘development association.” Under the name of development association we have had inside construction rings, paper-town syndicates, salted mining stock deals and speculative onterprises without number and of questionable character. ‘What attention, for instance, would be paid to any agent or official armed with credentials from a development association even if the word ‘‘state” be attached to the great seal? Would nnt such credentials be discredited at the onset, and the holder looked upon with suspicion as a probable imposter? It seems to us that the executive committee of the State Devolopment association can render the state and the association no Dbetter service than teking prompt steps to amend its name and make it the Nebraska State Boards of Trade. After that is done we would also suggost an amendment to the or- ganic act so asto drop all the nonsense nd claptrap about county representa- tion. The membership should be con- fined to boards of trade and commer- cial clubs. Such boards and clubs can only oxist in towns and cities. Some counties have soveral towns large enough to supvort boards of trade; other counties may have none. Farm- crs are not oxpected to take an active part in commercial bodies. To attempt aradical departure from the original design of state boards of trade can only end in a complete fizzle. AMEMORABLE HISTORICAL BVENT To-day 18 the one-hundredth anni- versary of one of the most mem- orable events in the history of France, or of the world—thefall of the Bastille. Among the many thrilling episodes of the French revolution, which have sup- plied a most attractive theme 1o a score of historians and produced an effect upon the world only less important than the American revolution, the taking of the Bastille stands out as the most dra- matio, absorbing and impressive of all. It was the sturdicst blow which European despotism, symbolized in that frown- ing and massive fortress-prison, had ever received, and it carricd with it a most potential inspiration to the people. For centuries the toweving black walls of the Bastille, enclosing horrors real or imagined, and within which kings, princes, nobles and tho untitled vie- tims of royal hatred or caprice lingered long years or ended their lives in hope- less solitude, stood as the embodiment of tyranny and the menace of liborty. In a few hours while the court of Louis laughed and joked at the mad folly of an unarmed mob secking to accomplish what had baffled the great Conde, the hated prison was in the hands of the populace, its seven prisonors were lib- erated, its vigorous commandant had paid the penalty of service to tyranny with his life,and tire Bastille had ceased 0 be a terror and a menaco. The peo- ple had received another and thrilling lesson of their power. It would have been well if, at the same time, thoy had recoived the wisdom to rightly and justly use their power. But, while the taking of the Bastille was the forerunner of sav- age atrocities and the wusual ex- cesses which proceed from unbridled passions, marking the French revolu- tion as one of the most savage and bloody epochs in human history, in” it- self the event of the taking of the Bastille was almost a bloodless triumph, Carlyle says of it: *The siege of tho Bastille, weighed with which, in the historical balance, most other sieges, including that of Troy town, are gos- samer, cost, #s we find, in killed and mortally wounded, on the part of the besiegers, some eighty-turee persons; on the part of the besieged, after all that straw-burning, fire pumping, and deluge of musketry, one poor soli- tary invalid, shot stone-dead on the battlements. The Bastille fortress, like the city of Jericho, was overturned by wiraculous sound.” Yet this sound, as the same great historian of the French revolution tells us, shook all France to the doepest foundations of its existence. Everywhere men rushed to arms, the armed population becoming an enrvolled national guard, and all France in a brief time bristling with bayonets, ‘““T'hus has I'rance,” writes Carlyle, “for long months and even years, been chewically dealt with; brought below zero; and now, shaken by the fall of a Bastille, it instanta- neously congeals into one orystal- lizod mass of sharp-cutting stoell” The death-knell of monarchy and of despotic , rule in France had been sounded. In that same hour when the Bastille fell liberty for Frenchmen be- came assured, though that priceless boon was yet to bo threatoned with many dangers, and to be finally achieved only after many terrible strug- glesand sovere trials. Now, after a eontury of varied exper- iment and experience, France is in the full enjoyment of the freedom for which, on July 14, 1789, Frenchmen struck the first blow that re- sounded through the world and aroused the people of the entire nation to revolution. Some things, in- deed, she has yet to learn in order to perfoct republican government and in- stitutions. There are faults in her sys- tem to be removed, weak spots that neod to be strengthened. There are false ambitions, also, to be overcome, and insidious foes to be guarded agninst. But the principles of popular liberty have become firmly rooted in the hearts of her people, and whatever elso may happen France will never again be aonarchial. To-day people of all nation- alities throng the French metropolis in attendance upon the great exposi- tion which celebrates the be- ginning and progress of republican gov- ernment in that country. Looking upon the Paris of to-day with its nearly three millions of inhabitants, its his- torical monuments—not the least inter- esting of. which is that which marks the place where stood the Bastille—its treasures of art, and all its magnificent ovidence of enlightenment and progress, Frenchmen may well honor with all the enthusiasm of their natures the one hundredth anniversary of the event which marks the beginning of the great struggle for liberty in France. AMERICAN STAMINA. A writer in one of the magazines has recently confended that Americans are constantly growing weaker physically, and that they are altogether inferior to their ancestors of a century ago, and even of soventy years ago. This al- loged inferiority he attributes to the greater sedentary habits of the people, and to the fact that they are less in the open air than they were formerly. He suggests that Americans should spend more time out of doors; that there should be more gymnasiums, and that a systematic effort should be made in the public and other schools to de- velop the children physically as woll as mentally. While no fault ban be found with these suggestions, which are good as to any people, it is to be observed that the idea that Americans are dete- riorating physically is a quite common one which is not supported by the facts. The writer referred toshas probably fallen in with the general i1mpression without having taken the trouble to ascertain whether iv was well founded. At any rate his position has been chal- lenged by another writer, who goes to the statistics for support of his views and presonts facts which will be pleas- antly reassuring to Americans. Hesnys that if stamina means tho strength and vitality required to carry one through the trials of life, rather than mere mus- cular power, there has certainly been ro decline among Americans. Indeed, if stamina tends to long life, Americans possess more than other people. In evi- dence of thisa table is givon prepared by Dr. Billings, of Washington, an ex- pert on such subjects, which shows that for o given period of years the death rate per one thousand of the popu- lation was less in the United States than 10 any other country from which vital statistics were obtainable, and the life average expectancy greater than in any other country. Dr. Gihon, of the United States navy, isquoted as saying, speaking generally, that the death rate 1s diminishing, and the aver- ago length of human life and the dura- tion of a generation on tne earth pro- portionately increasing. According to this authority, there is less sickness por capita than when observers began to keop a record of such matters. It would be to give little credit to science for what it has accomplished in improv- ing methods of living,in providing bettor sanitary conditions and in in- creasing the popular knowledge of how to care for health, to assume that the average length of human life had di- minished, even were there no well at- tested statistics to prove the contravy. Every intelligent man kunows that the people of to-day live botter, particularly the people of the United States, than ever before, and improved living must nocessarily contribute to the average prolongation of life. Statistics show that in all advanced countries the aver- age expectation of life hasincreased dur- ing the 1ast hundred years from sixty to one hundred per cent, the United States, so far as the limited facts ob- tained show, having kept pace in this respect with most other countries, When the next census, which is’ to_in- clude vital statistics, is completed. it will doubtless show that Americans are not behind the people of any other country in average longevity, which will be sufficient to establish their equality of stamina with any other peopto. It is not casy to determine whether the American of to-day possesses less muscular strength than his fore- fathers, but it may reasonably be supposed that he is fully the equal of the men of old ‘in this respect. Why should it be otherwise when every college in the land gives attention' to physical training, when the national game furnishes exer- cise for tens of thousands of young men who do not play it asa business, and when every city has its gymnasium and athletic clubs? Surely the forefathers, hardy and rugged as they were, had no such opportunities for the development of muscle as are afforded to-day, and very widely taken advantage of. Itis undoubtedly true that too many Ameri- cans who pursue sedentary lives take less exercise than is necess: to maintain good health, Comparatively few avail them- selves as much as they should do of nature’s inexpensive and most health- ful exercise, walking. Urgency of busi- =3 - ness, and th** noarly universal desire to roach an objective point with as little delay as possible, induce the great mag jority of them to mde. In this particu- lar Englishmen are wiser. Thoy be- lieve in walking, and they get both health and recreation from it, for it isa fact which, any man who sits much dur- ing the day may demonstrate to his own satisfaction, that a walk will relieve rather than induce fatigue. But granting that all Americans are not as careful as they should be to do those things which are esseutinl to the preservation of stamina and the promotion of long life, vet tho facta-obtainable show that in their average condition thev are not declining, but, on the contrary, are doing as well as most other people in the matter of increased longevity. And under provailing conditions there is every reason to expect that the next generation will show anotable improve- ment in the physical qualities of our people over the prosent. Tae Concora school of philosophy is no more. The announcement of its de- mise was to be axpected. The able body of men beginning with Emerson and Thoreau and ending with Alcott gave it virility and individuality which their successors were unable to impart. The Concord school was itself a select and aristocratic body. Its scope was nar- rowed and dealing alone with abstruse problems ot metaphysics. 1t never could appeal to the general public for support no matter how eager the aver- age man might be to sit at the feet of philosophers. Its place, nevertheless, has been supplied by thatsummer school now so popular all over the country known as the Chautauqua. Its cur- riculii embrace everything from music to art and from political economy to the dead languages. Its influence is ro- fining and elevating whether or no it is able to turn out finighed students in a three weeks’ course. It cannot be de- nied, however, that it is reviving a Tove of culture for 1ts own sake, and where the seeds of learning are so pleantifully sprinkled it must be bar- ren soil indeed it some do not take root. THE death of Mrs. ex-President John Tyler at the advanced age of sixty-nine years took place a few days ago at Richmond, Va, She became the wife of President Tyler some time after his entrance into the white house and shared with Mrs. Cleveland the honor of being marcied to a president in office.

TRIBUTES TO ENTERPRISE. A Great Buccess, The Commercial Union (C Tue Omaua DaiLy Bes celebrated the eighteenth anniversary of its existence by taking possession of its now and bewntiful howme, which has been in process of erection for the last two years. Compatible with mentioning the new home of Tug DALY Bre, it would be well to call the attention of our readers tothe progress made by the paper itself in its endeavor to take its place among the first class newspapers. Tie Dairy Bre was organized by Mr. Edward Rose water, who I8 still the editor and controlling spirit in the enterprise, and it s largely owing to his indomitable will and untiring energy, that the paver has reached the position which it holds and maintains to-day. When Tue Bae first made its appearance in '71, it was a two page, five column sheet, and not very prepos sossing in appearance, Five hundred copies were printed, and as the leading theater in town had all of the front page but two col umns, for its programmes, three hundrod copies were distributed as such. In June, of that year, the paper was enlarged, and from vhat time to the present it has steadily incroased in both size and circulation, until now, instead of five hundred copies of two pages, run off on a hand press, 1t is an erght page, seven colamn newspapor, printed with the latest improved machinery, and having a daily circulation of from eighteen to twenty thousand copies.
