BEAUTIFY T1E SCHOOL GROUNDS While Omaha has been cheerfully spending me in ng suitable sites for its scliools and in the ercction of creditable scliool buildings no effort has been made to make the surroundings of those school build- ings attractive or even presentable. It is safe to assert that in no city in the country opportunities, such as exist to beautify our school grounds, been so shame- fully neglected. Almost every school bulld- ing in the city is detached from other build- ings and situated in the midst of a plot of free ground, but, barring two or three ex- ceptions, there is no ornamentation by or gardens, often not even the pretense of ordinary grass. Were Omaha too poor to in an eflicient school system its school children in properly school buildings there might be some excuse for this condition of affairs. But there is an educational aspect even to neat and attractive school grounds which ought not to be overlooked. This question has the Board of Education time and 2 in, but no progr.ss has been made toward adopting some plan of action. Designs made by a com- petent landscape gardener about two years ago for the HMigh school square and for eral others of the larger plots under con- trol of the board, aiming to provide for artistic ornamentation that would be a credit to the city. But the board at that time got no further than the acceptance of the gns. In of unalluring ap- pearance the High school square, by reason of its convenient situation, has been over- run each summer with people who seek a breathing space in the neighborhood of their homes, The High school square ought to lave some attention this year, although nothing be accomplished in the way of beautifying the remaining school grounds. To the people and taxpayers it ls im- material who undertakes this work. The park board has the experience and the machinery to do it, but has preferred to expend its energies on remote and inac- tracts of land rather than invest a its funds land not subject to its control. This objection might b> obv'atel by declaring the High school square a public park. Otherwise the school board should assume the duty itself. Whatever plans may be preferable there should be no further delay in taking action. The school grounds should be beautified this year and at once. THE REPUBLICAN STATE LEAGUE. The president of the State League of Re- publican Clubs has called a state convention to at Lincoln June 12, The basis of representation is such as to assure a large attendance, that is, if republican en- thusiasm runs as high in Nebraska in other Coming at the very thresh- old of the summer, the league convention will practically open the state campaign in Ne- By that time the issues of the cam- paign will be largely made up.

The fact that it contains a provision for issuing bonds does not make it more acceptable cause it simply proposes to lower the inter- est rate which bonds shall carry, the author- ity of the sccretary of the treasury to issue and sell bonds for the purpose of redeeming the paper obligations of the government for which gold may be demanded having ex- isted since 1875. Furthermore, the 5 per cent bonds issued last February were sold at a rate which made the interest not over 3 per cent, so that it is not apparent what articular advantage the proposed legislation would be to the treasury. Indeed, it is con- ceivable that it might be a disadvantage, for the ability of the government to borrow at a low rate of interest is contingent upon maintaining present financial conditions, and these could hardly fail to be disturbed by Infusion of $35,000,000 in silver or silver certificates Into the currency. If, hen, the treasury found it necessary to bor- row gold it might not bs able to do so at 8 cent interest. There is nothing about this administration Dill to commend.

A RAILROAD T FROM OHIO. A little railroad tax bill was enacted Into law last week which is so just the railway companies themselves do not cbject to it. The wonder Is such a measure had not been pushed through long ago. It simply dis- tributes the cost of maintaining the rail- road commissioner’s office to the amount of $15,000 a year among the railroad panies. As they are the chief benefic of this department the made by Hon. J. Thwing Brooks of the Pennsyl- vania company before the senate committee taxation that the measure would not be contested if enacted. This Columbus dispatch to the Cleveland Leader furnishes several texts for both the railroads and the people. There nu- merous state boards in this and other states which have been necessitated by the re- quirements of special Interests. The work performed by these boards, while at once a protection to the public, inures particu- larly to the benefit of the corporations or companies subject to these zulations.

While it may transpire later on that the’ prosence of the militla shall be essential, it evident that such necessity far existed. The army of interlopers Is shelterless, but has been well fed. The easiest way out of the dilemma Is for the city of Council Bluffs to raise a fund to pay for third class transportation of the army to some point In Missourl where transpor- tation east may be secured.

The result surprised both the saloon keeper and the reformer, though in different ways, for while the reformer didn’t do much reforming, the saloon keeper did a land office business, and now Gardner is swamped with offers from other saloons. VIEWS OF K go Herald: “General” Kelly's div welcomed by the state of Towa with military honors. A regiment of militia whic! had been ordered out to keep the Comm wealers in order found nothing to do and fra- ternized with the invaders. The people of Council Bluffs very sensibly feed their vis- itors instead of atfempting to bulldoze them. This is the plan which has proved so suc- cessful in dealing with the main body of the army. Coxey's men are furnished with pro- visions at the towns where they camp and then they are “passed on.” In this way at a very small expense the people along the line of march get rid of their visitors and leave the final solution of the Coxey prob- lem to the Washington authorities. Chicago Inter Ocean: Governor Jackson of Towa, can afford to consider the source of the criticlsm leveled at him for ordering militia to Council Bluffs to meet Kelly's “Industrial army.”” He is the executive of Iowa and is in duty bound to protect the people of that state. The people of Omaha desiring to urge forward the “Industrial army” and have it camp in Council Bluffs rather than in their own city cannot be considered as entirely unselfish, If the railroads consent to haul the army across Iowa there can be no trou- ble. But if they do not, and “the army" undertake to hold up trains and take forci- ble possession, it is the governor's duty to protect the railroads. There has been en- tirely too much maudlin sympathy wasted upon Coxey and his imitators. —————— 2 POLITIOAL NOTE! ust DIFFERING ¥, STAT Nebraska City Press: Lancaster county 13 proparing to present Judge Strode as a con- gressional ndidate on the republican ticket next fall, but then this is not Luncaster's year, however good a man the judge Is.
