THE OMAHA DAILY BEY NTAGES OF EDUCATORS, ADV Interosting Topios Disoussad by Btate Teachors at Linooln, PROF. R, R. DUNGAN'S ABLE EFFORT, Btrongly Protested Against the Neg- leot of Moral and Spiritual De- velopment—Other Subj Considered—Note: Lixcory, Neb., Dec. 30.—[Special to Tn Brr,|—The regular program arranged for the Btate Teachers association was taken up this morning, with over 600 teachers 1 attend- ance. Tho oponing exercises consisted of a selection entitled ‘*Romember Now Thy Cro- Ator’’ vy the Adelphian quartette, an invoca tion by Rev. Lewis Gregory and another song, "I Canuot Always Trace the Way," by the Adelphians. | The first paper on the program was then listoned to. It was “The Meaning, Limita- tions and Purposes of Education,” and was propared by Prof. R. R. Dungan of the Cot- nor university of this eity. Prof, Dungan's ceutral was the necessity and advan- tagoof a thorough education. He protested strongly against the neglect of woral and spiritual development, and also aguinst what ho termed the excessive utility of tho age *‘In our efforts to drive out all that has not a vractical value we have gone to the other extrome,” he declared. [lo belieyed thata student ‘shoutd know his power before he undertook to outline his plans for a general education, and emphasized the fact that ibe most completo education was the one which enabled its possessor to accomplish the most for bimself. To know one's power is to do termino tho limit. The essentials to be taken into account in the pursuit of an edu cation were finaucial means, health and mental power. The purpose of such an odu- cation s outlined by tho speaker was to fulfili the grand purpoto of our being—the purcose for which we were created Prof. Dungan's paper was discussed by Prof. Corbett, superintondent of the York publie schools, and by Prof. True of the Tecumseh schools. The ideas of the speaker received a warm endorsoment and many new ones were developed in the discussion, The next paper, “Philosophy of the Methods of Education,” was propared and roud by Prof. Wolfo of the Nebrask State university. *faucation,” said he, *is based on well established and’ universaily rocog- nized principlos, Common sense, in the orainary sense of the word, eannot bo taken as the only guide in the mathod of acquiring an oducation. Noris tho mere application of @ formula to be relied upon. The student’s first efforts should bo introspective. He sbould first study his own mind, in the effort. to discover, if possible, his own peculiar adaptation.' Having discovored this, self- fmprovement along the lines which wilt naturally suggest themselves by such in- spection will follow asa necossary sequonco.’” Speaking of the education of the child, Prof. Wolfe boileved that the valuo of child study could not be overestimated or consid- ered too lightly. Tue ideal teacher for. tho cbild must be a child-lover. Otherwise ho cannot hope to succeed. ‘The discussion of Prof. Wolte's vory able paper was deferred in order to_take np some Toutine business that was pressing for atten- tion. The matter of electing officors was discussed pro ana con for some time and also deferred until the ovening. The evening session was called to order at 8:15 o'clock by Prosident Andrews. After the opening exercises, Prof. J. B. Monlux of Hastings delivered a prepared paper on “Organized Agencies,” in which ho argued strongly for a state law requiring & certain and unified standard to be put in forco in every school n Nobraska. e belioved that thestandard of requirements adbered 1o by colleges should be lowered to a plane whore it would be possible to spend more timo in high schools on practical studies and less oo classics. Ho also believed in more thorough- ness in what worlk was done. A twenty-minuto discussion then ensued which followed out tue samo line. Tho edu- cational council preseated its roport at length which was adopted after somo discussion. Tho meoting adjourned until tho morning session. N:braska's Corn for Hungry Russia. Nobraska officials who are suveriutending tho work of gathering a train load of corn for Russia -are still in the dark in regard to the arrangements for shipping the same. Governor Thayer received a lotter early this week from Gawernor Merriam of Minuesota suggesting that Nevraska's contribution be forwarded to Russia in the same vessol that is to earry Minnegota's donation of flour. In reply Governor Thayer stated that be would Ve willing to adopt _the sugiestion provided the Upited States government does not ar- rango to send n naval vessel with il the contributions from America, Ho desired to hear from Washington before he made a final decision in the matter. Today Governor Thayer addressed the following letter to Secretary Tracy of the navy: Dear Siv: Trond your fotter yesterday to Scnator Washburn of Minnosotn. tendoring the use of the Unlted Statos ship Constol- Intion for the purpose of carrying provisions 1o Russiu for the rellof of hor sulfering people.

John Hwartz, o Russian workingman 57 years of of uge, was the unfortunate. This forenoon ho attempted to cross the B. & M. yards avout 100 feet west of the passenger depot. While on the third track he stoppod to speak to fellow employe, when an spproaching switch engine warned him to move aside. Ho turned rather quickly, and in tarning his foot caught botween ihe rail and the guard and ho fell to the ground directly in front of the coming engine. The ougineer did not seo him, but haard his cries and at once stopood the engine, but not unul one wacel had passed over' his right leg and crushed his tody. The man lived but fiftoen minutes after beicg taken from under thoe wWwheels.

Supported Her Side. Police court was tho scone of very protty wordy encounter this morning, the partici- ants belug Mrs, Katio Mack, & boarding house keoper, and Colonel Phiipott, the at toruey. The confiict came over the' trial of Rovert Boulding and George Grittin, the former for slapping Mrs. Mack and the latter for using indecent lauguage. Both of the men were drunk and when the landlady ordeved them out, one of thom siapped her in the face and the other made bher proposals which wouldn't look well i print. During tho progross of the trial Mrs, Mack became inyolved in a controversy with Pailpott, who was defending the two men, and when' tho smoke of Uattlo cleared awdy it appeared that she had worsted the colonel. Boulding was fined 8 aud costs and Grifiia’s case was sontinued. Shutting Down on Delinquents. Commissioner of Public Lands Humllhmy today recelved several school land leases which had been relinquislied by the lessces, Accompanied by applications from other par- ties who desirod to lease thesawe lands. Mr. Humpurey promptly rejected the applic tions, and in- explaining the matter to Tie Bex correspondent stated that it bas been & comwon practice for some men to allow their Interest on schuol lauds to lapse for several yoars and then, by connivance with friends, relinquish their lease. The friend immedi ately makes application for the same land, and when ho sacures it assigns it back to the original renter, who thus avolds paying his dolinquont interest. Commissioner Hum phirey proposes to put & stop to this practice i | upon the question of a president for th | should try Brown’s Biounchial Troches. and horeaftor when any delinquent throws up his Ioase the land will be declared for- foitod and ndvertised for lease, thus throw- ing the land open to competition.

Wilcox was re-called to tho witness stand yesterday in the case of the Ropublican against tho Associated Press in the United States court, and he was asked to identify tho last issuo of tho Republican pub- lished on January 8. Mr. Breckonridge asked Major Wilcox if there was a fleld for the pubiication uf the Repuolican at the timo the final demiss of the paper was solomnized by the editorial announcoment of its last appear- Judge Dunav thought there was uoth- ing material in such u question. Any man ought to know that tho fleld was siill n existence. The collapse of the Republican didn’t wipe out the field to any waterial ex- tent. Upon cross-oxamination the major said that the last issuo of tho paper might have been u little larger than some of the previous issues of Decomber, 1390, Ho claimed, how- oyer, that 1t was a legitimate morning daily, although its telegraph colums were filled with plate matter. The plaintiff then rested its case and wit- nesses wore called for the defonse, J. M. Gillan, a reporter formerly employed upon the ' Republican, was catled. Ho stated that the cause of tho Republican’s suspension in July, 1500, was the inability of tho management to pay the men employed. He said Wilcox prom- ised soveral times immediately prior to the suspension thav he would got the money and pey tho men, but bo nally gavo up and said be could not pay them. The witness said he told Major Wilcox that the men were pepar- ing to ile attachment suits upon the paper and plant in caso they did not get their monoy. Major Wilcox replied that the men might take the institution ani go to h—il with it if they wished to, Mr. Harmon, who had charge of the cir- culation was called. Ho stated that the Re- publican had about 9,000 subscribers at tho tige of suspension in' July 15%0. Mr. Edward Rosewater was callod to the witness stand in the afternoon for the pur- pose of showing the approximate value of tho Associated Press franchise to a newspaper. Mr. Rosewater said that would depend to & great degree upon the character and condi~ tion of the newspaper. He dia not consider a pross franchise worth much to a newspaper like the defunct Ropublican, that had boon & money sinking concern for years, and to a paper that had suspended, he said, the fran- chise would be worthless. Mr. Rosowater also oxplained tho contract; and agreoment made in 1583 botween himself and the propriotors of the Republican and adwood and r contost. was DEATH OF PER, Story of the Herald by which Tue Bee secured the ex- clusive right to publish tho_ dispitches fu nished by the Associated Press for publica- tion in the aftorcoon in Omaba. He said that this cost Rim $0,600, but it shut out all other afternoon papers from publishing tele- graphic news furnished by tho Assooiatod DPress and had been of great advantage to Tue Ber, Mr. Frank Morrissey was also placed upon the stand. He thought that a telegrapnic franchise could be of very little' value to a paper that had, like the Kepublican, baon suspended for four or five mouths. The case will probably be closed today. Judge Dundy granted au order last even- ing authorizing Arthur C. Bell of Red Cloud as recoiver of the First Nattonal hank, to proceed with the sale of the per- sonal property and real estate of the insol- vent institution.

Talloys. J. V. McDowell and . H, Walters agalust the Auglo-Amori- can Mortguge and Trust company will be hotly contested in the courts of Council Bluffs, About $4,000,000 15 involved in the case. About two weeks ago Tulleys and his follow- ers obtained a temporary injunstion restrain- ing the Anglo-American people who are tho eastern stockholders of the concern from holding a meeting in Omaha for the purpose of electing aew ofticers. The hearing on the motion to vacate tha restrainiug order was set ln Judge Smith's court for tomorrow, but it has again been vosiponed until Saturday. The continuance was granted on account of John R. Stone, attorney general of lowa, and also counsel for the plaintiffs, being illav his home in Glenwood, Attornoy Clark of Now York, who repro. sonts tho eastern stockholders, was obliged to return to tho east. The eastern people aro roprosen‘ed in Omaha by LawyerJ. 1%, Breen, who will argue the motion Saturday for the dissolution of the injunction. If va- catod Mr. Breon says tho eastern peoplo will at once hold & meeting sud remove Mr. Tul- loys from the presidency of the corporation and also get rid of Messrs, Walters and Me- Dowoll. The specific grounds for the removal of the presont officers are on account of their ro- fusal to permit the stockholders to_examine tho books and accounts of the Omaha ofico, aud also for their refusal to obey the wishos and instructions of the eastorn directors who are in the minority. The eastorn people also sought to cut down salaries paid 15 the plaintifts and in the expense of muin- taining the ofice. They claim that they want & voice in the matter of direoting tho funds of the corporation and to say how they shall be appropriated and used. “The prosent officers,” said Mr. Broen yesterday afterneon, ‘‘have uot managed the affairs of the corporation with economy and prudence.

Republican and Democratic Contrasted—Reciprocity and a Sound Currency Are Sure to Win, olicies Mr. Crounse, who 1s recently here from Washington, spending a few days in the city. was mot by a Bee reporter yesterday. In response to request for his viows as to the political situation and party prospocts in tue coming eampaign, he said “I have no ambition to appear in news- paper interviews. I haveuot the vanity to believe that I am the possessor of any opin- ions of much value, or whicn 1 desire to ob- trude upon the pudlic. Howover, I have 1o objection to expressing my falth in the suc- cess of the republican party in 1392 It de- serves success, If 1t did not [ should not carosomuch for it. 1 am more solicitous that it shoutd be right than that it should achieve a temporary victory. On the groat questions of protectipn to American fndus- tries, reciprocity in foreign 6xchange, and in an honost currency, [ am satistied it is right and that the returning good sense of our peo- ple will so declare,” “What, thiak you, will be the political issues on which " the coming contest will be fought out! *Amerio n progress and prosperity against obstruction and retrogradation; honesty agminst dishonesty; truo statesmanship against domagogism and poericy— whether Crisp, Mills and Carlisle, with their positively bad idsas, and the Peffors, Jerry Sunpsous and Koms, with imprac- tical ideas, snall dominate; whether Kon- tucky, Alabama, Texas and Tammany hall shall direct the affairs of a great people or whether the intelligence, the enterprise, the lovalty and patriotism of Now England, Ohfo, the great west, as represented bY Harrison, Blaine anu’ McKinloy, shall con- tinue to advance the nation which they have preservod and placed in tho front rank among the nations of the world. Will Give an Exhibition of Discord. ““The now democratic house of reprosenta- tives will do nothing boyond making a fow niggardly appropriations bofore election, to be supplomented by big deficiency bills after it, thus hoping to gull the people into a belief in democratic economy. Bevond this they will give the public an exhibition of discord, hypocricy and cowardico. Last fall's victory puts an elephant on their hands and their success will prove, in my opinion, their perdition.” Do vou think thoy will pass a bill repeal- ing the McKinley act or attempt other tarift logislation 1 “No. It did not requiro any courage or ability to lie and make false predictions nbout the McKinley bill, but it requires both of these in @ greater degree thau modern do- mocracy has displayed to attempt either. Especially is this 30 in the face of the un- procedented increaso fu our foreign trade, of untaxed sugar and the continued lessening 1n price of the articles consumed by the American peopla. “Iserved with Mr. Mills in congress. I know him as a democrat who beliovos whut he profosses, and who has the boldness of his convictions, As an ex-rebel he belieyes in the lost cause, and glories in his ast record. On the tariff question be is a reotrader, out and out, and not ono of those tariff roformers who do not kuow what they want, cept _that they do mot want tarift framed by tho re- publicans, no matter how perfoct. Convic- tions and honesty are not wanted in a speaker when the house bas a farce to play. So in Crisp thev found an equally good “ex-rebel, but an actor us well. 1t was even thouzhi necessary to dograde Mills and put a jump- ipe Jack at the head of the ways and means wmittee, With all this precaution the play 15 not likely to prove a success, Itis gener- ally safo to count on the democracy downg something foolish and damaging whon an op- portunity arises. Hero is their opportunity. Silver Legislation. “When freo silver comage promised to be popular there wasa ganeral disposition of the democracy to run before the breeze and go to almost any length in the direction of a do- based currency. But in the light of Cleve- land’s anti-silver ietter and tho lossons taught in Massachusetts, New York and Ohio in the recent election, a nalt is called. Alroady, you will notice, it is proposed to postpone “any action on _the subject until after tho election of 1802 This will® enable the party, as it thinks, like the accommodating sctool teacher, who proposed to teach the world as round or flat, according to tho taste of the district, to ad- vocate free coinage or no free coinage, us tho individual, state or locality may desire. “For myself, I donot beliove that a further incroase of currency would be of advantago, With §24 per capita this country has plonty of it. Every one who has anything to give in exchange will have all ho is entitled to. "Thus cry for more money is the most arrant humbuggery, the song of the demagogues to impose on” the unfortunate., It was used with more or less success during the last fow years of depression, but with the retarz of ood times the farmer and all who are de- pendent on him will bave no trouble in_find- ing ourrency, and whon he has 1t ho will flad it worth something, “Charges of extravogance may bo made agaiasy tho late republican congress for of- fect. Outsiae of appropriations for pensions, for maintouance of the army, tho navy an likke current expenses, thera were but few if any that could 'be called extrava- gant. 1o the matter of appro- priating for public buldings it may bo said that the number provided for was unusnally large. But, whatover of extravagance there may be in that the democracy fully shared. Democratic Virginia was provided with three—a number, I believe, creater than fell toany other state. As Secrotary Foster well remarked, this has grown to b & billion-dollars country and it requires a great deal of money to run it. ‘At this time there seems to bo but ltle doubt that either Harrison or Biaine will be the republican nomince and about oqually certain that neither Cleveland vor Hill will be tho nominee of the democracy. Hill can- not in decency or in the light of policy be taken and ho will uot permit his rival to suc- ceed.

The judge beld that the city council was authorized to make such a contract, and that it was not the province of the court to stop thom, Thove was no evidonce to show that fraud nad been practiced in awarding the contract, and there was therefore no reason why tho council should not be permitted to g0 anoad and earry out its work. Iu subsequently speaking of the case, the judge stated that snother thing ‘that entorea 1nto consideration was that the case would very likely bo taken to the su- preme cougt if @ permanent ivjunction were ranted, and a decision would not be reached or ot loast a year. In the meantime the city ball could “not’ be finished and work would be at u standstill.

Cutcaqo Buneav or T Ba f Cuicaao, IlL., Doo. 80, The old liberty bell will probably be brought to Chicago and put in the Penusyl vaola bullding at the World's fair. The Penusylvania building will be, in part. a re- production of Independence ball, and in the stoeple, just as it hung moro than a hundred years ago, will probubly e the liborty bell. Colonel L. 1. Do Quages Enrigner, mem- ber of the supreme court of military justico of Mexico, who is at the Auditorium, say “At your exposition we Mexicans will show you not what Moxico was, but what Moxico is. We shall show you how prosperous we are aud that we are not a peo plo disturbed by constant revolution. Noth. ing has ever arousod so much interest in our republicas your exposition, and 1 bolieve half the race will come here to see your show if the plans now made can be carriod out.” A latter has Just beon roceived at tho ox- position headguarters from Lieutenant Har- low, commissioner to Cnili, stating that the government authorities have expre interest in tho fair and say that hor resources will be fully represented. Mexico’s Peculiar Condition, Charles W. Oddon, & Iawyer of San An- tonio, Tex., talking [ast evening of che Garza revolution, said : “It is tho natural outcome of Mexico's present condition. With a pobulation of some 133,000,000, less than 10,000 people con- stitute the land holders outside the citios. Millions are homeless and _positively stary- ing. Theso ate ready to join any sort of rev- olution, providing its leader can furnish them with food. The fuct is, however, that nono of the would-be leaders have the money necessary for this. President Diaz knows cvery move of every political loader in Mexico. If ono of them appears dangerous, bo is told that it would be bealthy for him to reimove to the capital and _remain within the shadow of tho throne. The futuro of thy country is one of the most unfathomable of existing problems. Having no funds for ed- ucation and no public lands for the poople, Diaz bas taken tho only possible course and is doing everything in his_power to encour- age foreign investments, which may give em- ployment to poor and ignorant Moxicaus. Diaz grasps what is really his throne so firmly thut no rovolution can shake it and he will retain it until he chooses to resign.” Odds d Ends. An unknown lady, 60 years of uge, got on an Ashland avenile car, und wheu the con- ductor shortly afterward asked for her fare she paid no attention to him. ‘T'he conductor then touched her on the shoulder, at the same time saying: “‘Fare, lady.” Her hoad fell back against the window. Several of the passengers, thinking she was sick, went to her assistanice und discoverea that'she was dead. Postmaster Sexton has creatod a rampus at the postoftice by assigning all the mar- ricd men to day jobs. The vnmarried clerks who had "beon woriing day hours held a meoting and & deputation waitod on Assistant Postmaster Hubbard. They related their woes, but he only smiled. “Young men,’" said ho, **vou have the remeay in your own bands. Get marriea.” The young men, however, say that the order is an ontrage because if they are compelled to work nights they cannot_competo with dry goods clerks and other rivals who have their @venings off and can go to the theaters and other places of amusement which delight the femalo heart, Alderman Jackson expects to introduce an orainance at the next council meeting m- posing & license on all representatives of Toreign manufacturers doing business in Chi- cago. Legal opinion is to the effect that there is justice in the proposition, but nolaw. Western People in Chicago.
