THE BEE is informed that some of the republicans in Sarpy and Washington counties have confounded the names of Dave Mercer and Dr. S. D. Mercer of this city. The candidacy®of Dave Mer- cor who aspires to a seat in congre has been freely discussed in THE B but no reference has been made to 1) Mercer in thut connection. —_— WouLDp it not be well for the members of the people’s party to think a moment about the man Weaver, for whom they are expected to vote? No voter who exercises ordinary precautions and in- telligence will fail to renudiate such man, whose political character and ord are open to investigation and bo always found unworthy. THE death of George William Curtis makes vacant many honorary positions, among them that of vice president of the Egypt Exploration fund, and the matter of his successor is now being dis- ‘cussed. Charles Dudley Warner’s name is mentioned and also that of Dr, Charles H. S. Davis of Connecticut, who is the publisher of **Biblia” and an Egyptian student of profundity and breadth. THERE i8 nothing very original about the plan by which the health and police authorities propose to insure the clean- ing of tho city at slight expense, but 1t is a good plan and ought to have been tried long ago. The police are to re- port all persons maintaining nuisances and they are to be arrested if they do not elean up their premisos within twenty-four hours after notice is sorved upon them. If the city is to be kept permancntly clean and free from dis- ense this perfoctly regular method should be practiced all the time, and not merely upon occasions like the present when a particular scare pro- vails, THE percentage of reduction in the number of businesy failures in this coun- try holds about the samo from week to week. During the past week there have been 182 failures as compared with 280 during the corresponding weelk last year. Considering the large increase in the number of industrial and mer- cantile enterprises during the past year these fizures ure very significant. This s & point to be kept constantly in mind in estimating the condition of the country’s business interests, Kven it the number of fallures were as groat this year as lust, their proportion to the total number of business enterprises in existence would be fur smallor than last your. THE NATIONAL QUARANTINK There is a vary gonoral public opinion { tavorablo to the proposition that the na 1 and it is to be ) suy frontic tionnl government should ha control of quarantine nt all 3 Whatever opposition thore is to it comoes mainly from tho sticklers for state rights, on the ground that as the consti delogate to the Umted Suates the power to establish quiran- tine it is resorved to the states, but the power conferred on congross to provido for the general welfare of the United States it would seem might properly be construed ns comprehending the author ity to provide ngainst the invasion of contagious disease which might spread over the entire country. It is true that the general government can establish a policy of non-intercourse and suspond immigration altogether, snd it is not questionable that this would be the most offectunl way of excluding cholera. But that is a radical remedy to be applied only in an extremo exige The practical arguments in favor of a national system of quarantine aro conclugive. It is the testimony of those who are familine with the state quar- antine establishments that they ia- adequate and that their administration is oftentimes faulty. One writer on this subject snys that the ridiculously anti quated, obsolete and inadequate perma- nent establishments at -most of our maritime quarantine stations, and the apparent impossibility, excopt perhaps when confronted with emer goncies such as the presont, of obtaining apiroprin- tions from local authorities of sufliciont sums of money for the erection of exten- sive and commodious quarantine estab- shments in accordance with modern s ence and aceurate knowledge of tho na- ture, mode of spread and means of pro- vention of cholera, are incontrovertible sous why' the general public cannot ¢ upon independent local quarantines for the defence of the whole country against the introduction of the common epidemic disenses, much less of epi- demics of cholera. Rival political and commercial inter- re inimical to the perfect protec- tion of the general public of the whole United States by independent and local quarantines. Another suggestion is that it is but natural that municipal nizations should, in looking after ir own interests, pay littie regard to the welfare of distant communities. Notwithstanding the frequent prr mount interest of inland communiti the efficiency of the establishment and administration of quarantine at tho sea- bourd, the local authorities of the latter frequently evince an unreasonable jeuls ousy of uny sort of investigation or sug- gestion looking to the general welfar The country has just witnessed an ex~ ample of this jealousy in the conduct of the health officer at New York, who ar rogated to himself the authority to dis- regard the order of the president pre- seribing the period of quarantine at that port. The arguments in favor of national supremacy of maritime guarantine are: It is only in this way that the necessary protection against the importation of epidemic diseases in all our ports can be continuously secured. It is the only practical mode by which uniformity of establishment and administration can be assured. The benefits of quarantine in- ure to the welfire of the whole country and therefore should be paid for by all the people, instend of imposing the en- tire expense on those of the seaboard. A national quarantine, properly admii- isterea and conducted by trained of- ficials, aceustomed to deal with tagious and infectious diseases, would tend to prevent panic, to allay unduo anxiety, und to favor a reasonable sense of securit, Finally, a national tem wouid secure advantages not attainable by independent local quarantine estab- lishments, however comple o. Thers aro still other cogent reasons in favor of government control of quarantine, but those cited ought to be suflicient to sat- isfy all intelligent people of the ne sity of such a system. This mattor will undoubtedly receive the attention of congress at the next session and it is highly probable that there will be legis- lation looking to giving the government alarger if not the supreme control of maritima and frontier quarantine tution does not aroe osts con- OMAHA The Waestern Omaha, which has met measure of success, has decided to con tinue tho art school for another year. The proposal of Mr. Lininger, the president, to incorporate the associa- tion with a capital of $25,000 has been adopted and a committee has been ap- pointed to arrange the details. 1t is but a year since the school was or- ganized, but the art association has seen four years of hard work, which is now beginning to bear fruit. If a proper degree of interest is shown by those upon whom the success of the school: depends it is expected that it will soon be self-sustaining. It is stated that the Chicago art school is earning $10,000 above expenses and itis Loped that Omaha will evenually attain an equally good financfal footing. The work of the Omaha art school Auring the past year has greatly ele- vated the cause of art in this commu- nity. Throughout the state of Nebraska there is a growing interest in art which is lurgely traceablo to the work of our loeal school. In no other city west of the Missouri has so wide an interest in art matters been ereated among the peo- ple. Kunsas City, St. Paul and Denver ure loarning urt from Omaha, and among the cities of the eust there ave foew that have made more rapid udvancement in art than we have done. Many students from all parts of the state are in attend- ance, and their work will stimulate in terest in art throughout tne great state of Nebraska. If it should chance that one student out of the many who enjoy the advant- agosof the Omaha artschool should prove 10 be a genius, which is by no means im- probable, the sehool would immediately become fumous, ‘The instructor of the school, J. Lawrio Waliace, wno comes from the Phila- HOOL ssociation of with a fair | delphia Academy of Fine Arts, and may therefore bo supposed to bo an expert, is doing everything possible to promote the advancement of the pupils in art. The work of the school embraces all branches of art, including drawlog and modeling, and deserves the support of all olasses of peonle. Tho prospect for the present year is exceedingly bright, hoved that it will bo made yot brighter by the patronage of many Omaha people who have as yat puid little attontion to the school. 1t is endugh that this city should make progross upon the lines of material prosperity the rofining influcnces of art should not bo neglected, e THE ARCTIC EXPLORERS, Lieutonant Poary’s Arctic expedition, in which a deep interest has been felt by all who are eurious as to tho results of the yot mystorious northern latitudes, has safely esoaped the dangers of the icy rion and Las renched St Johns, New- foundland, on the return trip. The stonmer Kite,in which Lioutenant Poary and his little company of adventurous scientists embarked from Philadelphia in the springof 1801, succeuded in reach- ing Lockwood, the northernmost point attained by Lisutenant Grooley’s purty in 1882 the latitude of which is 83.24 This is supposed to bo the nearest ap proach 1o the polo ever made by man. It was tho purpose of the Peary party to push on farther north, but no reports thus far reccived indicate that they did 80, Although only one man wus lost, 1t 5 1o be assumed that the history of tho oxpedition, like those that have pre ceded ity will bn chiefly made up of ac- counts of hardships endured. Avctic oxploration has not thus far vielded any results of great value to mankind. The various expeaitions that have sought the north pole have in the aggregate cost many lives, and their contributions to the sum of human knowledge have been rather meagoer. They have proven that the polar re- gions are covered with ice, that they are intensely frigid, that the sun stays below the horizon for montis at a time, and that the north pole is inaccessible. The origin and manner of formation of the great icebergs which come down into the Atlantic have been explained by the explorers,-and somo other mattors, awther of curious interest than of real value to the world, have beon made known by means of these periodical nolar expeditions, Possibly Lieutenant Poary may have somathing new to con- tribute to the fund of the world’s in- formation concerning polar matters. At all events, his report will bo awaited with interest by all who love tales of ad- vonture in the forbidding and wmys- terious region visited by the gallant Kite and her eourageous compuny. not TRAINING MIND AND HAND. While we continue to boast, and not without reason, of our public school system and the very excellent arrange ments we enjoy for tho dissomination of knowledge, thinking people must admit that in many respects the educa- tion of American youth at the exnense of the state falls far short of the object aimed ut. Especially is this true of the public school as it exists today, so nearly approximating in its line of edu- cational work the academic course of afew years ago. Thisis not said in disparagement of the idea of giving the young folks free of charge the in into written knowledge that a very years ngo was denied to those whose cir cumstances were such as prectuded for financial reasons their taking an ad- vanced course of study. The advance in public school methods has baen very rapid, so much so, indeed, that it not be too much to say tl shot the mark. One of the things that seem to have been overlooked in the plans of the modern public schools is the mens of instilling in the minds of the pupils the practieal application of the knowledgo taught them. A cortain degree of fa- miliarity with the “classics” and an ac quaintance with the polite information of modern society is not to ba lightly st aside,for the reason that such knowl- edge serves to soften the rough places in life’s journey and enables the possessor thereof to more fully enjoy whatever of amenity may fall to his or her lot, yet the superficial smattering of knowladgo ned at o public school must not, as it too often is, be mistaken for *‘educa- tion.” No matter how cxtensive the curriculum, or with what fidelity to de- tail it bas been pursued by the pupil, vhere yet remains the solemn facy that “education” ig a matter of life, or, as inyson puts it, “knowledge comos, but wisdom lingars, and ho boars laden breast full of sad exj This, then, should be the aim of the public schools, notvalone to give the young lips a stinted draught from the Pierian spring, but to so train the mind of the youth that when the time comes for laying aside school work and taking up the active duties of lifo unassisted by the guiding hand of the teacher, the hoy or girl may go forth possessed of a confidence bora of careful instruction in the ways of life, How shall this be accomplished? is a question 1o which the answer is not readily apparent. One thing is certain; in this respoct we have much to learn from the people of Kurops. It is only necessary to cite the existence of a sin- gle German institution to show the force of this, In the turnverein the (Gorinang have a factor whose value in the growth of the nation in every respsct cnn searcely be estimated. Certain it is that wherever there are Gormans thoero is found the turner society, avd in the turne halle the youth of the new raco keep up the traditions of their fathers, and in thoir athloti® pursuits are in spired by the ides that when their coun- try neods thele services they will ba able to offer a sound mind in a well trained body. To be sure, America has never had a Tuarnvater Jaho, nor has she ever known the irritating presence of the eagles of a conauering Ngnoleon, such as inspived the patriotic old Ba- an schoolmaster when ho added the ining of the scholars in his care in feats of physical skill and endurance us well as in the three R's, looking forward to the time when the Fatherland would need strong, active young limbs, accom- panied by vigorous minds, to aid in rid- ding the country of the conqueror. Ger- many is no longer menaced by a con- gqueror, but the idea of Turnvater Juhn flourishes s the patriotic old man never dreamed it would. It is this coupling of montal with manual training, however, that makes education valuable.

OUR AGRICUL TURAL EXPOR No other class of people in the United States has 8o deep an interest in our foreign trade as the agricultural class. During the past fiscal year, according to the recent rep of Statistician Dodge of the Department of Agriculture, nearly 80 per cont of the exports from this country to foreign lands consisted of agricultural products. I'he exported produets of our farms amounted in value to $793,717,676, exceeding by more than $150,000,000 the value of our ship- ments of these products in any previous year, Itis true that the conditions which caused such extensive exports of farm products during the past fiscai yoar are subject to changes, and the foreign de- mand cannot be expected to be uniform; but it is nevertheless certain that it is inc ing and that it must becomo greater your by year, There isa pros- pect that the farmors of Europe will be able this year to more nearly meet the home demand than was anticipated a fow months ago, but there will still ha a great market abroad for the products of the American farms, In respect to ani- mals and animal products the foreign demand this year will.be far grouter than it was last yoar and may be suffi- cient to of'set any [falling off that may take place in the exportation of bread- stufls. it will be' remembered that the removal of the embargo upon American vork in Kurope, by which our sales in several countries ind been suspended, camo too late to have a great effect upon the yea exports, though our sales ubroad wers guormously increased thereby toward the close of the year. It took a little tims for the removal of the embargo to produce its effect upon the market, but the European demand for American meats is now far greater than ever befor Our foreign sales of animals and animal products will in- crease with greater rapidity from this time forth than our sales of breadstufls the superiority and cheapnsss of Amori- can meats having placed them almost beyond competition in Europe. An illustration of the good that has been accomplished by the enforcement of our strict meat inspection laws is found in the fact that our exports of fresh beef in the last year aggregated $18,053,752 as against 811,451,861 in 1889, while our exports of live cattle inc od from $16,616,917 to £35,099,005. It is evident that the farmers of the United States are of some consequence in the world and that the importance of fostering every interest of agriculture in this country cannot be overestimated. To the farmar more than to any other man two things accomplished by the present federal administration are preg- nant with cance. Reciproc: has opened the way to enlarged foreign markets and will do yet more in the samo direction; diplomacy has caused the removal of the barrier that kept American pork oat of Burope and has thus increased by many millions of dol lars a foreign trade that directly touches the farmers of this country. The exports of farm products from this country may not again approach 80 per cent of the total exports, for the rapid growth of manufacturing indus- tries in tho United States, under a pro- *tive poiicy that is not to be soon abandoned, will inevitably result in tho building up of an increased foreign trade in the products of our factories; but the aggregate of our exports of farm products must increase, notwith- standing the growth of the home de- mand. A vast extent of rich tervitory you untilled in the west will continuo to invite the farmer to turn its generous soil and the agricultural states will muintain their supremacy as producers of individual and national wealth, THE PUBLIC DOMAL Tho report of -the commissioner of the general land office for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1802) gives the total area of vacant lands inthe public land states and territorvies wy being 507,586,783 acres. This is execlusive of Ohio, In- diana and Ilinois, in which, if any pub- lic land remu s of u few small isolated iracls Aluska, contuining 80 00 acres, It is also exclusive of military and Indian resorvations and Junds subject to sale for the benefit of certwin Indian tribes, and exclusive of reservoir sites, timber res. ervations and tracty covered by selec- tions, filings, railvoyd grants and claims | s you unadjudicated, o part of which in futuve may be added to the public do- main, Nebraska Las 10,674,332 acres of surveyed public land and 125,000 unsur- veyed. It will be seen that the public domain is still extensive, but agreat deal of this lund is not available for settlement. Much of 1t is arid and some of iv is not available for azricultural purposes for other reasons, 50 that perhaps not to exceed one-third of it would under vresent conditions support ponulation. Assuming that to be the case, and thy the annual disposition of the publ lands will be about what it was duriog the last fiscal yen little less than 14,000,000 acres, within the next fif- teen years, or twenty atthe furthest, be upe SEPTEMBER 18, 1892-TWENTY [!hn publie domain outside of the arid | region will all have passed into pri | ownorship and persons seeking agriculs | tural land will have to look elsewhore than to the government fo- it In the | mennwhile, however, it is to be expocted that the work of aiming tho arid Innds will make rapid progross and that the demund will be met from this source. The fact that irrigated land is | very much more desirable than that | which depends on natural will eause it to bo preferred whenever it comes into competition with the latter in the market, and it is highly probable that within a fow yoars large arens of now arvid lands will command the at- tontion of settlers. ‘['here is some good land yet in the public domain, but the quantity is not large, and it is inevita- ble that all sueh will bo taken up before half the iifo of the present genoration has passed away. Very nearly half the land in the pub- lic domain is unsurveyed, and the com- missioner urges a liberal volicy in refer- ence to surveys of public lands as dic- tated, not only by a due respect for the interests of the United States, but by the unwritten obligation which rests upon the government toward those who have beon induced by the terms of the homestead and pre-omption laws to be- come pioneer settlers upon the publi domnin. Ho states that the land office 18 in constant pt of letters from settlers who complain bitterly of the burden they are forced to bear because of tho nonsurvey of their lands and the consequent uncertainty of thoir loca- tions, to say nothing of various other difficulties and annoyances which neces- sarily follow. The neglect of congress in this re- spect is not in harmony with the gen- erous policy of the government regard- ing thesettlement of the public lands, A matter of perennial interest in connec- tion with the public domain relutes to the forests, and the record of depreda- tions last year shows a loss of timber valued at pretty nearly half a million dollars. This hns been exceeded, but it is evident that greater care in pro- tecting the public timber would be found profitable. The commissioner states that what is imperatively needed is a permanent force of not than twenty special agents to devote their entire time and attention to the work of explaining the luw and the regulations thereunder relating to the cutiing of timber from the public forests. He suggests that a general law on the subject of public forests is demanded which shall make adequate provision in respect to both forest res ervation and the cutting and removal of timber to supply the public necessi- ties. He believes the passage of such an act would effectually dispose of all material questions relating to these matters and render further legislation .on the subject unnecessary. In view of the fact that this matter has been regularly urged upon the attention of congress for years, thers is not much encouragement to hope that the present congress will take practical action garding it. THE Apollo club is admittedly the best musical organization Omaha has ever had, and the one of all others that has contributed most to the cultivation of local musical taste. Its aims have always been elevated and it has never failed to achieve gratifying results in whatever it has undertaken. Such an organization reflects credit upon the community, and it goes without saying that it should receive generous encour- agement and support. The club has in contemplation some highly interesting plans for the coming musical season, which if carried out, as there is overy reason to'expect they will be, cannot fail to give it a still stronger claim to popu- lar regard. Omaha should take pride in the Apollo club. It is doing a most excellent work in behalf of musical cul- ture, and this is a service the value of which to the educational and social life of the community cannot be over- estimated. It should hardly be possible for this admirable organization to make uny demand upon our citizons that would not meet with a prompt, hearty and geunerous response. moisture less re- OMAHA is now prepared to contribute to the world’s supply of lawyers and ministers, n law school and a theological seminary having beon_ successfully es- blished here. In regard to the latter, it is pleasant to noto that although it called a Presbyterian institution its doors ave open to students of other de- nominations, so that it fully meets the needs of this community., As matters now stand it is possible for young men to graduate at the University of Omaha, the law school or the theological semin- ary and begin their life work well equipped. It is often said that there are more lawyers than clients, but there is at least no complaint of an oversupply of ministers. The time may not be far distant when men of eminence in these professions will point with pride to the fact that they graduated from the luw school or the theological seminary of Omaha. Now let the public-spirited men of wealth in this community see to it that these useful institutionsaro prop- erly sustuined. TiE western people, and espocially those of Nebraska, have rouson to be proud of the rapid growth of the Chau- tauqua work during the past yoar or two. Itdoes not by any means take the place of our school system, which is do- ing wonderfully well, but it supplements the latter and gives educational udyan- tages to many who would not otherwise have them. Itis a good sign of the times that education is so thoroughly appreciated in the west. With a far lower percentage of illiteracy than the old states of the east can show, the n west is steadily progressing upon lines which will surely lead tothe highe and noblest development of Ame citizenship. 1718 not easy to account for the pres ont low prices of domestic truits, consid- oring the short crop throughout the country of many standard fruits which ure ulways supposed to influence the gen- eral market.

The hon- orablo discharge of Isnae Montgomory, who shot Burglar Griffin dead in his tracks with a musket the other night in defending his property, shows that our local authoritios are not disposed to be at all sentimental in dealing with such cases. If Motorman Gehee had ghot the highwaymen who boarded his car on Thursday night, instead of fr ening them off by hoiding a revolver at their heads, he: would no doubt have been exonerated.
