The menagers of the Majors eampaign ve laken great pains to point to the fuet that several of the elergymen who were nawed by the editor of The Bee | as referoes to pass upon the charge {ngainst Majors have declared them- selves as unswerving republicans who in- tend to vote the ticket from top to bot- tom.

It | shows conclusively that Majors had | nothing to fear from this jury unless he w in no position to controvert the wd.

Bills were introduced at the last ses- | sion of congress making the holding np f trning engaged ‘o interstate commeree | a national offense, punishable under the | laws of the United States, but no action beyond mere refercnce was taken on any of them. The several train rob- beres that have recently occurred, one of them within a few miles of the na- tional eapital, will probably have the effect to induce congress at the coming session to give more attention to the proposed legislation, aud perhaps to pass a law that will authorize the use of the national power in hunting down those who commit this erime. It appears to be certain that untit this is done and such legislation s supplemented by stringent state laws for the punishment of train robbing this erime will continue [to prevail with periodieal outbrenks | such as have been witnessed during the past two years. This matter was discussed at a vecent weeting of the presidents of the express companies, who want national legisla- tion. They t the state laws and the state courts fail to seeure the pun- ishment of the guilty, both because the state courts do not want to incur the expense of a trial, and also because when a.man is arcaigned on the charge of train robbery his neighbors sympathize with him and aquit him when they try | him. Provably there is not very good grounds for this latter statement, but it is n fact that state authorities have not generally beere as diligent in hunting down this class of criminals as in the case of other classes, the feeling seem- ing to be that this work belongs muinly to the express companies, and that if they do not properly protect themselves they must suffer the consequences, The express companies have never attempted to avold doing their share in hunting down train robl Whether their losses by robbery were small or large they have always endeavored to sec the apprebension and punishment of the perpetrators, It has been said that al most, if not quite, as much money has been expended by the companies in this work as the amount of the losses they have suffered. But however this may be, it will hardly be seriously contended that the greater part of the task of bringing trai robbers to justice ought to be devolved on the express companies. Certainly the whole public is interested in the | those 1 THE OMAHA DAILY B authorities who ought to bring them to punishment are not as diligent in the performance of their duty as they ought to be. But more stringent Inws for the prevention and punishment of train vob- bing are undoubtedly necded, and there appears to be no good reason why there shonld not Be-national legislation appli- cable to this crime when committed on trains engaged in interstate commerce. At the same time it is necessary to ob- employ every reasonable precaution to protect themselves from robbery. Gov- ernment protects private citizens and punishes burglars who break into their houses, but the citizens know that they are expected to take proper preeautions against robbers. While it must be con- | ceded that the exy companies have a right to public protection it Is not too much to expect that they will use every | proper means at their command to pro- | tect themselves. PUBLIC A Charles Dudley Wa |a part of the space allotted to the Ed- {itor's Study in the current Harper Monthly to a seve arraignment of the public schools as mere machines for the development of automatons to fit into our scheme of universal suffrag He begis by picturing a hypothetical sy tem of popular eduecation, such as he in- timats isted in the United States about fifty years ago, in which the schools were in the control of committees clected by a majority, without practieal experience in the training of the mind, believing that what the pupil needs is contact with the greatest number of top- ies in the shortest space of time, solect- ing tea hers upon their own examin tion of qualifications and paying them very low salaries, and esteeming higher the perfection of the system than of the intelligence of the operators or of their fitness for their occupation. Our educa- tional machine, we are told, has been wonderfully perfected since 1833, No one can withhold his admiration of it. But the improvement has been in the school house and its apparatus, it been toward making the system more machine-like, too me nical and teo cheap. “Could the state,” Mr. Warner make a heavy investment in any thing so profitable to itself as in I training of the minds of its cit- ATE SCHOOLS. ner has given over To come up to the desired standard cheols would have to be reorgnnize 1 0 as to give the pupil an individuality. Individuality can be obtained only through teachers of strong personality, teachy who have stadied the theory of eduention and who are able to apply it in practice, teach who are allowed to toke the initiative and to develop origi- nal methods. The teachers in the public schools do not, in Mr. Warner's opin- fon. conform to these requirements. Tn his hypothetical system of education a great proportion of the tenchers, if not majority, were in fact “ignorant.young girls or unformed young men,” and in this respect he does not think we are able point to any advance. Even achers who are really able and competent make their schools as good as the will permit, but they are held back by the machine of which they ave o part. Por individuality in edwca- tion we 1 directed to the old academy. A few spein ens remain in various p. rts of the country and 1 centers of real education. They rosp. or lagged as theiv head mas- ter has changed, the personality of the divector being the foundation of their They are in almost every in- stance private scliools, and their fncome depends upon their atteactiveness, Mr. Warner is inclined to believe that the rvecent increase in the number of private schools and in the number of boys and givls attending them is to be viewed as a return to the old academy system. To use his words, “this movement is not ac- counted for by an undemocratic reluc- tance to submit well-bred children to the ssoctation of the private schools, but by the_ failure of these schools to give the sort of intellectual and moral training desired—that Is, the sort of education that raises the ideal in life.” But is it not a serious question whether the private schools are today actually accomplishing their work any better than the public sehools? And i they were doing so, would it not be an \wgument more for the improvement of the public schools than for the extension of the private schools? There is much that is of value in the democratic atmos- phere in schools that are open to all alike. There is discipline in the very machine-like exactness with which all pupils are required to pass through the same recitations and examinations. If personality and individuality can be se- cured in the teachers who are engaged in the private schools, why can they not also be had in the public schools? And as to the pay of teachers, it is doubtful whether on the whole those in privafe schools are more liberally treated than those in public schools. There is no rea- son why the public schools should not offer every advantage of the private school, except the exclusive association. If they do not at the present time the work of our educators should consist in improving the public scheol system rather than in building up a new system of private schools. to system snecoss, MACHL RY AND LABOR. The bureau of labor is actively en- gaged in an investigation the resufts of which are expected to be of great valu Congress at its last session passed a res olution directing the commissioner of labor to investigate and report upon the effect of the use of machinery upon labor to investigate and report upon the ative productive power of hand and ma- suppresston of this form of crime, which I8 not infrequently accompanied with the shedding of blood. Manifestly it is the duty of each political community to prevent erime within its ewn limits, and It is also the duty of such community to detect erime, to pursue eriminals and to procure their conviction. It seems to be an entirely sound proposition that it is Just as much the business of the com- munity to prevent robbery on the rail- roads as on the highways; just as much its buslness to prevent, or at least pun- ish, the looting of express cars us the burglarizing of a store or residence. The trouble is not that train robbers cannit « oiuished.

Kansas City Star: In justice to Emperor William it is to be hoped that his hymn to Aegier i8 not as bad as its translation into English would indicate. The line in the ncluding stanza, “To honor Thee, O Mighty God,"" conveys a wrong idea to the orthodox mind, Avgier was a fine old pagan, but in this enlightened day he does not deserve to have his titlo capitalized.
