TWwWO PER CENT bonds are bringing one-half of 1 per cent premium in the face of the democratic pretense that the treasury is bun krupt. SILICON plaster is remarkable for its polit] ramifications, It bobs up serenely in the most surprising govern- mental localities hereabouts.

WILLIAM A. SPRINGER knows a good thing when he sees it and therefore grabs it.

The Springers are thrifty. e ——— THE School fund will be $30,000 short this year, in all probability as a result of the reduction in the number of liquor liconses issued. This is gratifying as proof that the whisky business is not as prosperous as it has been heretofore, but it should open the eyes of the Board of Education to the necessity of rigid economy, HAVING signally failed to renew the Indian troubles in South Dakota and Avizona, the Indian faker has gone to Oklahoma, and he reports that u great many Indians near Fort Reno ave out in their ghost shirts dancing. It is to be hoped they will be permitted to dance off the craze, for no harm can come of it in mid-winter, TrE democrats appear to have cap- tured New York through the court of appeals, having failed to carry it at the election. ymanders will now fix up the congressional districts to the liking of Hill and Tammany and the legisia- tive districts to make sure of another democratic United States senator, Gov. ernor-Senator Hill has accomplished his purpose and once more shows himsel to be the most skillful political manipulator In America. His grip on the executive chair had a deadly purpose to continue himsell as boss of the New York w chine and the grip has been successful. ——een ALTHOUGH some of the newspapers are making light of the project, thore are very good reasons why the fish com- mission should be transterred to the Agricultural department. There is no other propor place for it and no roason why it should be a separate and indo- pendent bureau. Fishes are a food pro- duct and the fish commission’s business 18 to assist in propagating them uand to toach the people how to care for them. The Agricultural departmont is the smallest of the executive portfolios and should be made equal in dignity to the others. The transfer of the woather servico was ridiculed, but everybody ad- mits that it was a wise action. The fish commission and the geoiogical survey are both intimately related to the busi- ness alroady in the hands of Secretary Rusk, and they could very properly bo placed under his immediate supervision, THE NEW YEAR, The passage from one year to another is a8 simple as the transition from day to night. There is no halt or break in the course of time, and nature makes no line of demncration to separate the old year But has learned to give un impressive im- port to the coming in of & new year, and the occasion for “turning over from the new, civilized mankind it is mad a new lonl” and making promises to do Al ways shown by experience ring, What tome lutions that will be taken t and unfortunately the greater number of them will be broken before the now year is forty-eight hours ald. Still the cusiom is not to be demned, for some of the promises will be faithfully observed, and if the number 80 observed be but a small fraction of the total m some good will it. At any rate it is well that there is a day on which everybody feels the duty of taking account of moral conditions and determining whether a chango is neces- ble. Oncea year for introspection with a majority mankind, but umination only for a single day may be helpful, and undoubtedly theve ave millions of people who will be bene fited by the change of conduct and v form of habits they will institute today. LA duy has this value, that it invites candid self-examination and en courages efforts for improvement, and the worth of this s really immeasur- able The year promises to begin an ' of great prosperity for the Ameri- w people. Every indication points to a remarkable of industrial activity and a business movement in all branches unparalleled in recent The prosperity of the agricultural in- tovest being assuved by the splendid crops of last yoar and the extraordinary forcign demand, it is inevitable that othor branches of business will @ ssper. In addition are the advantages 1o be expected from our enlarged mar- kets. The prasent will also be a year of great political activity, A president is to be scted and most of the states will elect governors. From June next, when the republicans hold their national convention, until November, the people of the entire country will devote more or less of their time to politics, and it will be the harvest time of those who make political work a business. Thus 1802 appears certain to be an uncom- monly active and busy year in all ways, and oue that will advance the country far along the road of prosperity and power. better in 1o need refor u vast the res would make. con- de come of sary or desir is not ofte very self-e 1 enough of large 1802 revival years, 150 THE ARID LANDS PROBLEM. Nebraska and Kansas aro deeply inter- ested in the arid lands problem. Should the project of conveying those lands ab- solutely to the states be carvied out these two states may be seriously affsctod. All our water coursesof any consequence rise in Wyoming and Colorado. If these latter states are given absolute control of the irrigation question as it applies to the arid lands of those states, they will have it in theiv power to deprive us ab- solutely of the water which now courses across the state in the Rapublican, Platte and Niobrava rivers. They may choo to stove it, and so prevent us from ob- taining any banefit from ths sources in tho mountains. The people of Colorado have alveady taken possession of the headwaters of the South Platte, and at times that stream is dry. In Colorado and Wyoming are the water sheds of this countr It is not surprising that they should be enthusi- astically in favor of state ownership of the arid lands and state regulation of the question of irrigation. With such authority they could readily develop overy fertile acre within their boun- daries, but in doing so they might impoverish western Kunsas, western Nebraska, part of South Dakota, all of New Mexico and parts of Utah, Iduho and Avizooa. The danger 1s not so great to the last three scctious, but so far as the western portions of Kansus and Nebraska are concérned the two states hold the key to the situation and they might make it impossible to farm in New Mexico. The fact is that the proposition to convey the arid lands of the west to the several states involves questions of the utmost importance to the states imme- diately adjacent to the states and terri- tories ovdinacily included in the arid beit. We are not ready at this writing to give assent to the plan, Theve is too much at stake to warrant conceding states such powers as must be incluled in the idea. With our present light we fael that the country at large must deal with this question and the nation con- trol the distribution of the water with which our arid lands are to pe mude arable and productive. WHAT WILL THEY DO? This is the question which is agitat- ing and perplexing volitieal civclos in Now York rogarding the course of the ropublicans in the senato of that state Nobedy appears to bo ablo to answer it authoritatively, but the general impras- sion soams to be that the republicins will take no part in the organization of the senate uniess the democrats receds from their position, which they are not likely todo, onator Hiscock is quotad as saying of the decision of the court giving the contested seats in the state senate to the demoocats, that itisa wrong which cannot be tolerated, and it is understood that all the republicin leaders concur in this view. A meetin of these leaders was held Wednosla evening, but the result of their deliber- ations has not been reported. It is stated, however, that the future action of the vepublicans was carefully mapped out. Moeantime the democrats ave claiming that they can organize the senate without the vepublicans, sinc) they have u majority of the members elected, one district nou being repre sented. The legislature will meot next Tuesday, and the republioan plan will probably not be dovelopsd until that time. It is highly probable that the repub- licans have been wronged in this mut- ter, but it would seem to be their duty to submit to the judicinl decision with out making any trouble, Having in- voked the courts to prevent a scheme of deliberate robbery, planned by Governor { Hill aud acquiesced in by all the demo- THE OMAHA cratic lendars who are subject to his [ district. dictation, the republicans are obviously bound to abide by the result, course taken was according to theie wish, and it is not claimed, so far as wo know, that they were denied any means or opportunity to establish their claims This being so it is manifestly theiv duty to accopt the result in the same spirit they would have expectad the crats to have nceopted a different de- cision. They cannot gain anything by croating a deadlock and blocking the wheels of legislation, but the s such a procsading would be vory, aly to produce an effect upon the pub- lie mind disadvantageous to their par Respeet for the decisions of the coutrts has always distinguished the republican party, and the republicans of New Yorik will make o grave mistuke if they refuso 10 submit in the present case. It would estublish an example which might be- come a prolific source of trouble and mischief. It isto bo hoped the repub- licans of New York will do nothing they could not anprove if done by their oppo- demo on con- nents. COMPLINENTS OF THE SEASON. The editor of the Lincoln Jowrnal very much concerned over the friendly r that alleged to subsist between the new stary of war and the editor of this paper. The postmaster of Lincoln is, however, a deal more concerned about the friendly relations that known to subsist between the postmaster goneral and the editor of Tie Bee. As far back us last spring the post- master of Lincoln, who edits the subsi- dized organ at the state capital botween meals, was trembiing in his boots an investigation into postal irregulari- ties that came near c¢iusing his suminar, king off of Uncle Sam’s pa, roll. Some people don’t know the prieties of their position, but if the Lin- coln Nusby porsists in his contemptible flings he may stiv up a hornets’ nest and get himself so badly disfigured that his most intimate oil room and boodle friends will fail to recognizo him. . These remurks are tendered with the compliments of the season. is un- tions are soc) arent are over very 0- TRADE RELITIONS WITH CANADA. It is said that the administration has docided upon a waiting policy for the present regarding our trade with Canada. Secretary Blaine is under- atood to be of the opinion that it is better to allow the Canadian people to work out a solution of the question of the best way to develop their trade than for the administration or its friends in congr to irritate either party in Canadian politics by interference. Mr. Biaine believes that the time will surely come ‘when the Canadian people will see for themselves that the closest trade reis tious with the United States will be to their advantage, and when they have reached this conviction they will be more than ready to meet this country haif way in & reciprocal agreement. Meanwhile the administration is oot inattentive to the course of politi events in Canuda, and espacially to the indications that the time is approach- ing when there will be an administra- tion in Canada willing to treat on broad lines with the United States. \Whiie the liberal party in Canada has gener- aily shown a more cordial disposition toward reciprocity than the tory pa it is believed that public sentiment will in time drive the government to propose a reciprocal arrangement which the [Tnited States can accept, whether the govornment of our northern neighbor be liberal or tor The drift in this direction appaars to be very strong. The tory mujority at the last elections was not a very large one. and although the term of the Parliament then olected is for five yoars, itis by no means certain that the party in power will adhere to the policy vegarding reciprocity which it announced when last it went to the people. Indoed. the present premior has alrewdy indicated a willingness to negotiate on a far more liberal basis than that laid down by his predecossor, and it is altogether probable that if our government should exoress u desive to enter upon negotiations it would find the Canadian government ready to submit a comparatively broad and liberal proposi- tion. It is pe until Cq celations haps wise, however, to wait da is fully convinced of the nocessity tc her material progress und prosperity of closer trade relutions with the Unitod States and is prepared to name such conditions as will be worthy of the consideration of this country. There is no reason whatever for hurry or solicitude in the matter on our part, for while it is doubtless true that a fair and oguitable veciprocity arvangemoent with Canada would result beneficially to this country, it is by no means essentinl to ou* prosperity. It is the opinion of many that until the Canadians are free to muks treaties on their own account with foreign powers, we may not, with a decant re- gurd for our own interests, entee into reciprocal commoreinl velations with them, on the ground that an agroemont now to that el would practically ba an English troaty for Baglish dizoment. But if veciprocity must bo postponed until Canada is an inde- pendent power it muy ba generations before it is realized, and it is possible, though it may not Le easy, to mal treaty orarrangement that would nov ba for English aggrandizement. This subject is receiviug far move attention in Canada than it is in this countrey, und it would notbs suvpeising to hear at any thne of an overture for negotintions coming from that governmont. ngzean- TCHAM JOR, The court has dissolved the tempor- ary injunction granted against the con summation of the deal of a boodling council with the Ketcham Purniture company of Toledo, 0.

The manner in which local bidders were ignored and the pevsistency with which certain counciimen have supported the Ketcham proposition in face of all these seandalous disclosures, taken with the fact that the Ketcham bid was not the lowest by $2,600, leave no conclusion ex- cept that the thing is a reckless, rotten job, This is probably the most scandalous transaction of the last half of the municipal yenr. 1t appears to be the crowning act of infamy of w council which has been notoriously corrupt.

JAT \UARY 1, 1892 T e — |WHAT IT ENABLES US T0 DO, | Chancellor Oanfield's Splendid Address Be- fore the State Teachers. EDUCATIONAL WORK A MEANS, NOT AN END Power of The i the of Lan- The One Thing That Distin- guishes Man from Heate— Other Lincoln News, ght Power Lixcory, Nob., Dec. 31.—[Special to Tus B Today's session of the State Teachors association opened at University chapel this ing by the reading of minutes of yestor- sossion, devotional oxercises and music. The regular work of the day in cluded the discussion of thres general pa pers: “Systematized Agencies,” “Vitalized Agencies' and “Rolated Agencies.’ Chancellor Caufield took up the discussion of the first. topic, reading a paper on ““Tho Place and Value of Language in an iduca- tional Curriculum.” Tho thems of his ad dress was that educational work must be considored a meaus, not an end. We seok it, not for itself, but for what it brings us, what it enables us todc. kducation takes a man out of weakness into strength, It makes him stand apart from himself, as 1t wero, and gives his work to others mora than to himself. Lan guage is an cducational force—the one thing that distinguishes man from brute power of thought aud the power of languago. The power of speech and the power of lan- kuage are closely alliod. No mental process seems to complete itself without the power to expross itsolf in words. Language belng almost the sole wstrument of tho mind, the only way to know the mind is to know the tanguage. Thought not only lives in lan- guage, but all vigorous thought masters langunge. Tho dis of Chancellor oxcellent paper was opened by Pearso of Beatrice in a practical talk. Prof. Jones of Lincoln closed tho discussion. The second branch of the subject, “*Vital- ized Agencies,” was tnformaily discussed by Prof. J. McBrien of Tecumseh. The paper on the subject had been assigned to Prof. J. J. Burke of Glenova, but owing to that gentleman’s inability to be present it was not read. This aftornoon Prof, Prank A. Fitzpatrick, superintendent of the Omaha schools, read the paper on the third branch of the subject, “Related Agencies.” Ho solected for tho general themoe of his discussion tho relations between the “Pulpit, the Press and the ool as Connected with Iducation.” Iirst ho traced the history of these several relatod agencies as far as their connection with edu- cation was concerned. Karly in the bis tory of our modern civilization the church, theough its ministers, assumed tho prerogatives of educating the' masses. The priest was the ouly schoolmaster aud the state was subordinato to the church as a natural consequence. ‘The iuvention of the printing press struck a_death blow to tho church as it existod at the time of toe fear- less Martin Luther, and the founaation of our modern public school system was laid when, by the aid of tho printing press, the bible, printed m the native tongues of the various countries of the old world, was vlaced in tho hands of the people. As the world pro gressed, the church and the school gradually became ‘movo independent of each other. "The growth of the newspaper, which only really commenced a century ago, still further widened the breach. Thé secularization of the schools was the result of the growing j power of the newspaper. Today the three agencies have, in the natural sequence of events, found their true places, and wo find the pulpit and the press working unitedly for the education of mankind. The press, look ing upon the practical side, 1s quick to sug- gest the lines of thought unon which educa- tion must advance, while the pulpit, looking upon the spiritual side, seeks to direct these lines of thought into proper channels, Both are equally important in their relations to caucational advarcement, and both aro dependent upon each other. It remains for the earnest teacher to utilize both of these agencies. The discussion of Prof. Iitzoatrick’s paper was continued by Prof. B. D. Hayward of St. Paul. Mrs, Fraucis Briggs of Omaha addressed sociation upon theimportance of the N at the World's Canflold’s Prof. C. G. thi braska educatioral exhibit fair. Superintendent Gondy also discussod the oducational exhibit. Ho stated that he had beon assured by tho Nebraska commyssion that the educational oxbivit woald receive equal consideration with tho other state ox- hibits, Prof. Draper, superintendent of public in- struction for tho siato of Now York, ud- dressed the association informally on educa- tional worlk. The committee on resolutions roported the fotlowing, which were adopted : Resolved, That the school Law should be so amendod a5 to forbid the yranting of & certifi- cato by county suporintendonts to persons under18 yeurs of age.

That the considerution of the re- vision of the school laws in accordance with the atove resolutions bo made n speciul part of the next anoual meeting of this assocla- ton.
