One of Chicago's noble aldermen has had the temerity to propose to prohibit the wearing of bloomers within the sacred confines of the World's Fair city.

NORTON SHOULD BE SUSTAINED. The normal school of Nebraska is In many respects the most important edu- catiol institution in the state. It Is the training school of the great ma- Jority of teachers of elementary instrue- tion in our common school Hundreds of the ablest teachers in Nebraska have been graduated from the state normal school at Peru, and these teachers nk with the Dbest common school edueators in the country. Now, the efficiency of any public institution depends chiefly upon the capaeity of the man charged with its supervigion The high standing of the state normal school is due to the high qualifications which Prof. Norton, its superintendent, has brought to the task devolving upon But while Prof. Norton en- dorsed by the leading educators of the including Chancellor Canfield of the State university and Superintendent state, | Marble of the Omaba public schools, he is being t the politie Tuced and undermined by 1 clique which trains under the ex-lientenant governor, whose career the republican party and disgraced the state. This faction of political not been content with resorting bulldozing tactics common among men whe make a living out of polities, but they have sought to drag the Grand Army into the mire of politics by using its name through certain officer s a club over the men who are charged with the selection of a superintendent for the normal school. Now it I8 to be hoped for the credit of the state that the conspiracy to dis- place Prof. Norton to make room for some politician who trains with the gang will not succeed. Our educational institutions should be kept from the contaminating touch of the boodle poli tician and corporation lobbyist. The men at the head of these institutions should not be objects of bart nd bar gain and they* should retain their places so long as they discharge their duties with ability and fidelity. seandalized has spoilsmongers THE INDIAN IN NEBRASKA. The latest volume of the eleventh cen sus deals with the condition of the In- dian in the United 8. That part iting to Nebraska contains much of special interest to the people Ate. The enumeration of 1890 disclosed a tc Indian population in Nebraska of 6,431, Of these 3.5 reservation Indians not ta sequently not counted in census, two reservation prison and not otherwise and* 2,803 Indians off the self-supporting and taxed. The civi- Indians of Nebraska included 1,480 males and 1,413 females, distributed in the different counties as follows: Boyd, 107; Cuming, 39; Knox Thurston, 1,808; other counties, The 1 ion Indians represent five tribes—the Omala, the Ponca of Dakota, the Sac and Fox of Missouri, the San- Sioux, and the Winnebago. The Omahas, we are told, were one of the tribes noticed by Marquette in 1673 and by Carver in 1676, who found them lo- cated on the St. Peter river. They have been in Nebraska since the earliest history of the country and settled on the Omaha reservation in 1854, The special gent who was sent to Investigate their condition reports them to be both men- tally and physically superior to the ay- erage semi-civilized tribes. The women are praised as frugal and prudent. Since the allotment of lands in severalty it has been the women who have had the hief burden of providing the means of livelihood, the men being more indolent and less careful, losing much by im- proper cultivation of their crops or by failure to secure them when matured. The greatest drawback to the progress of the industrions Omahas is their gen- erous disposition, which is taken ad- vantage of by worthless friends and relatives who attempt to live upon them. The lands of the Omahas are of the best quality, well watered and fairly tim- bered—cireumstances that account in a measure for the eagerness of the whites to get possession of them. The Omahas in 1800 numbered 1,158, The Winnebagos were first heard from in central Illinois. ley were taken successively to Towa, Wisconsin, South , and finally in 1865 to their ent reservation. In native mental pacity these Indians are said to be quite equal to white people in like cir- cumstances. Their physical condition is fair, but they have great difficulty in overcoming their natural indolence. The domestic economy is not of a very high order. The thrifty Winnebago, like the of this b were 1. and con the general Indians in enumerated reservations, Servil pre thrifty Omaba, is a vietim of shiftless relatives, His land is of the Dbest quality, suit- able In about equal proportions to agriculture and grazing. In number the Winnebagos lead all the tribes in Nebraska, with a membership of 1,215, Both the Poneas and the Santee Sioux are under the Santee agency. There are 217 of the former and 869 of the latter. The Poncas have resided on their reser vation in Nebraska, formerly Dakota, for upward of 100 years, except two or three years spent in Indian territory. The Santee Sioux were brought from Minnesota In 1866. As to the present status of the Poneas, one sentence in the special agent’s report tells the whole story. “The Ponca Indians are men- tally bright, sound and improving in all respects.” There are two parties among them, but the party of progress is the larger and controlling. They are self-sustaining and worthy representa- tives of the Indian race. The Santees are likewise commended as clever, happy and contented and muking steady advances in civilization, They are greatly handicapped by the worthless character of the lands on thelr reserva- . but yet have succeeded in becom ing practically self-sustaining. Of the Sac and Fox Indians there were in 1800 only seventy-seven located Nebraska, and these under a 1sas agency. They have been on r reservation since 1834 and are quite civilized. The suggestioy is even made that the necessity for an agent for this people has about passed away. Viewing the reports of the differcnt tribes together, there is a vein of en couragement In them all. Some doubt are is expressed as to the efficacy of an education secured by sending the boys aud girls (o distant schools, but whei up i properly spurred on to fmprove them selves on their own reservations, they seem to put forth some exertion and to appr e their opportunities. Yet in the population of Nebraska the Indian is becoming a relatively smaller factor. By the time the Indian lands shall ha been all allotted and their owners be: come citizens subject to taxation, the separate importance of the Indian in Nebraska will have been largely lost. HOW HE GOT EVEN. W. Morton Smith, who parts his hair | in the middle as well as his name, made his advent in Omaha about as an eminent journalist. His bril- it genius given broad play as editor-in-chief of the Omaha Republican, then the oldest daily in the state, and capabilities ex- directions at same to annihilate Bee the other to boost the to the Tis first convert the Republican into an advocate f prohibition and the second to cut the price of the paper below cost of pro duction That policy had about the une effect on the paper as a dose of rough-on-rats would have on a hungry dog. The poor old m kicked up its heels in very short meter and left W. Morton Smith in the position of Othello when he was stranded on the shores of the Adriatic. Then he beeame a per- sistent applieant for a place on the edi- torial staft of The but there was no place in The Bee building large enough to hold a man of such ponder- ous intellect importunities were wasted on the desert air. This slight has doubtless rankled in his manly bosom and he promised himself to get oven some day. In due time W. Morton Smith sumed charge of a Lincoln daily which claims par excellence to be the organ of unalloyed republicanism, although its files testify to the fact that it bolted John M. Thayer, republican candidate for governor, and fought him bitterly to the end of the campaign without the slightest provocation. Within less than eighteen months the brilliant genius who steered the defunet Republican into the newspaper grave- yard brought about an application for receivership for his Lincoln venture which is now in a fair way of turning up its toes during the balmy month of June, A. D., 1895. The sad rites over the corpus of his second vietim of pon- derous intellect might have tually been performed without giving the great funeral di- rector an opportunity to get even with Rosewater had it not been for the meeting of the executive committee of the state republican league, of which Smith happened to be a member, The committee had arrogated to itself the power to appoint delegates to the na- tional convention at Cleveland, instead of lling a-state convention to elect these delegites, When Rosewater's s presented without his solici- tation to the committee as the choice of the league members from the Omaha district, Smith rose in his majesty and entered a fierce and furious remon- strance. After a jangle of three hours and a half within closed doors Smith wried his point L nd with the active stance of the poker gambler from Peru, whom 20,000 republicans repudi- ted last fall as the party’s standard bearer, Thus W. Morton Smith got even at last for his failure to induce Rosewater to assign him to a position on his edi- torial staff. This should proye an ever- ting warning to all other editors and publishers who dare to decline to grant the brilliant journalist from Salt Creck any request he may mak four was lis were the The stupendous pended in two time, One and was sKies, conc GLORIFYING LOST CAUSES. In ancient Greece and Rome the first work of each newly installed conqueror was to raze to the ground the monu- ments erected to the glory of his van- quished predecessor. It has never been the custom of any nation to pay homage to another which has sought to destroy it. Where in England will we find mon- uments to the commanders of the Span- ish Armada? Would Russia think of immortalizing the leaders in the Polish uprisings? How long must we walt to see France raising columns to the mem- ory of Emperor William and Moltke and the German hosts that wrested Al- sace from her? Yet he within thirty years from the crushing of the greatest rebellion mankind has ever witnessed, we find the bravery of the confedernte army praised in enduring marble in the very center of the lo; north. No such thing would be undertaken if there were any thought that it would be en- couraging rebellion. The idea intended to be conveyed is that the men who fought under the confederate flag did 50 from a sense of duty because of a wrong belief that allegiance to their state stood higher than allegiance to the nation. If the north can but convince the rising generation of the south that their fathers were mistaken in trying to destroy the union, their loyalty must be made visibly stronge If now we can sprinkle the south with monuments to the soldiers of the north, we shall soon have the country studded with imperish- able emblems of a national government firmer and more indissoluble than ever. A VETERAN OF THE STAGE. There was a notable performance at the Pifth Avenue theater, New York, on Friday afternoon, given for the bene- fit of that veteran of the stage, Charles W. Couldock. The comedy of “The Ri- was presented and In the caste Joseph Jefferson, William H. ne, Thomas W. Keene, Nat Good- win, Mrs. John Drew and Nellie Me- Henry—a constellation of talent perhaps never before equalied in the presenta. tion of this admirable comedy. Several weeks ago there was an auction sale of scats and at that time Joseph Jeffer- son delivered an address eulogistic of Mr. Couldock as actor and man. He ranked the veteran with Charles Kean and Macready and paid the highest tribute to him, from a personal knowl edge of forty years, as a father, a hus band and a friend, Mr. Couldock is 80 years old and nearly sixty years of his life have been passed on the stage. His work is about finished, if indeed it is not actually ended, and the sum realized from this testimonial will hle him to pass the remainder of his/Mdfs in comfort. The provision thus mddd for him is highly creditable to his professional brethren and all of the many thousands who » seen and appreciated the work of the old actor—most of it of the highest merit, some of it sg excellent that this generation can Bardly hope to see it caualled—will be gldd to know that as he wends his way to the “undiscovered country” his every physical want will be caved for, Very few actors have so well deserved the Kindly interest, in- deed the affectiomatelregard, of the play- ving public asBCharles W. Couldoc for not many haye contributed so much as he to the entertainment and the in- struction of that public. In late years Mr. Couldock has been identified in the popular mind with only two or three characters, notably Dunstan Kirke and Luke Fielding, in the play of the “Wil low Cop: both masterpicees of their kind. But the playgoers of a third of a century ago saw him in a wider rep- ertory and the impression he made upon those qualified to appreciate his work has not been effaced by time, If not a really great actor, from the strictly rtistic point of view, Mr. Couldock’s acting was at least distingnished by a marked individuality. Ie did not cir- cumscribe himself to old forms or old lines, but gave his own creative talent play, and that he 1 such ent will not be questioned. The fame of Mr. Couldock, however, will rest upon his later characterizations, the surpassing excellence of which is universally ree ognized. It is not known whether Mr. Couldock has decided to permanently rvetive from the stage, but it is not prob able that he will act any more. In any 't he has set an example of con- scientious work which the dramatic profession should fondly cherish. READING PUBLIC EAST AND W A report of the first year's work of the free public library of Butte, Mont., showing that to possess a very dis eriminating reading publie, suggested to an eatsern paper a comparison with some older cities of that scetion. It selects Springfield, Mass., with a popu- latton of about 45000, and Hartford, Conn., with about 55,000 people, the es- timated population of Butte being 30, 000. The New England cities, it is marked, contain probably as cultivated a population ny cities of their size in the country, and the gene opini is that their percentage of educated, reading people is large, while the con- trary opinion is held concerning cities in such mining states as Montana, The public librany reports of these cities show a circulation in Hartford of a little over two books a year to each resident, in Springtibld a little less than three to each resident, il in Butte a circulation at the rate of a little over two books- to. each resident. It thus appears that the reading public of the Montana city is as large as that of Hartford and ouly a little smaller than that of Springficld, a most excellent showing for the western town when it is remembered that the figures are for the first year of the public library, when the difficulties connected with the in stitution of such an enterprise are great- est. But the most interesting facts re- late to the class of books read, which show that in Hartford novels and stories made up 80 per cent of the circulation, in Springfield fiction and juvenile lit- erature made up about per cent, while in Butte prose fiction was chosen by T4.48 per cent of the publie librar, readers. The percentage of books of his tory and travel taken out of the librar; of the western town very largely ex- ceeded that in either of the eastern cities. Even of scientific works the per cent compares favorably' with the New England cities named. Our eastern contemporary remarks “that if Butte, Mont., is to be taken as an example there is a much larger read- ing and therefore cultivated and edu- cated constituency in the newer west- ern cities than the eastern public has generally supposed.” We have no doubt that investigation would show that the Montana city, very generally regarded in the east as simply a mining camp, with all that implies, is not exceptional among western towns ip its reading and edueated constituency, but that there are a number of others which can make an equally ereditable showing. This is a goed place to say that eastern people zenerally have a very narrow iden re- specting the education and culture of the people of the west and such in- formation as that contained in the above comparison may do something to en- lighten them. In no other part of the country is the desire for intellectual cul- tivation stronger than in the west and as a reading people those of the west are nowhere excelled. It is time eastern people understood this. bhooks A DIPLOMATIC LEGACY. In one respect the Americanism of the late Secretary Gresham was of the stur- diest character. He believed it to be one of the highest duties of the govern- ment to afford every possible prote tion to the citizens of the United State in foreign lands who could establish a rightful claim to such protection against abuse or injury, A notable case in evi- dence of this is that of ex-Consul Wal- ler, who has been made the victim of French perseeution. One of the latest official acts of “Seéretary Gresham was to instruct Ambassador Eustis at Paris respecting representations to be made to the government of France for secur- ing justice to \Waller, who had formerly represented this government as consul at Tamatave, Madagascar. Remaining in that country. after his successor had been appointed he obtained valuable rubber concesslons from the govern- ment. It is shown by the correspond- ence sent to the State department at Washington that the KFrench govern- ment was suspicious that the rubber concession secured by Waller from the Hovas was obtained for the purpose of providing a coaling station for United States naval vessels. A charge cas trumped up by the French authorl- ties in Mad scar, the exact nature of which has not been made publie, and he was tried by court wartial, convicted and sentenced to twenty years' confine- ment in a military prison. As soon as this case was brought to the attention of our government Secre- tary Gresham lnstituted a careful in- vestigation, as a result of which he ap- pears to have arrived at the conclusion that Mr. Waller, if not the victim of a high-handed and inexcusable outrage, was at all events a sufferer from political complications between the French and Hovas in Madagasear in matters wherein he could not legally be held account- able. The representations made by our government to the French gov ernment produced the desired effect, the case having been transferred to civil Jurisdiction, so that Waller will be again tried before a tribunal whe he will have a better chance of securing justice than from a court martial probably or ranized convict. The promptness with which the French government yielded was an admission of the fair ness and justness of the representations of our government This diplomatic to the cive wacy from late etary of state should re the earnest consideration of his successor. The action alveady taken in the matter makes it the imperative duty of the Department of State to that full Justice is done to an American citizen who formerly represented our govern ment in an official capacity. With the political affairs of France In Madagas ear this country has nothing to do, but they must not be allowed to furnish an excuse for wrong and injury to a citi- zen of the United State sec Mr. James B. Haynes fily retires from the managing editor- » of The Bee, a position which he s occupied with credit to himself and satisfaction to his empl for a of mnearly cight years. Mr. aynes began work at the foot of the Indder in the service of The Bee and reached an enviable station in the news paper field by dint of persistent, con scientions and well directed effort. The readers of The Bee, as well as its pro prictors, have recognized and appre- ciated the ults of his work which have been daily spread before them Mr. Hay will not abandon news paper work, having made arrangements to devote himself to special news cor- respondence as the agent of a number of well known newspapers throughout the country. today volun ta sh it Harper's Weekly has an interesting illustrated article upon the soldiers’ homes of the United States, nccompany ing which is an excellent picture of the Neb institution at Grand Island.

Too Much Partlsanship, Minneapolls Tii Rev. Lyman Abbott attacks a pbpular fal- lacy when he says that the peril to Amer- fcan institutions is not from the presence of foreign-born citizens, but from the apathy and inertia of the so-called best citizens. This last clause, however, i3 another fallacy. There is less apathy among these citizens than they are charged with. The trouble is that they are strong partisans in munic- ipal as well as national politics and never present a solld front against any evil, Most of them stand by the party nominations, no matter what pernicious principles the can- didates show. ive-Awny Breath. New York Sun. She “smelled liquor in his breath,” and she then “broke the engagement.” This tes- timony has been given in a Maryland court by a moneyed young woman who had been sued by an elderly man for breach of prom- ise of marriage. Was she justified in dis- carding her suitor for such a reason? Pretty nearly so. The man who would carry on his suit for a young woman's hand, or dally with her affections, while he was under the influence of liquor, does not deserve to meet with success. But the young woman ought to have cut the old fellow when first she smelled the stuff, and refused to make the engagement, more especially as & perfectly sober young suitor was trying to win the hand which she proudly gave him The King of 1is Kind, Loulsville Courler-Journal. The strawberry is the rose of the edible kingdom, and, like all the chief gifts of heaven, I8 the exclusive possession of no one clime or country. It blooms near the edelweiss on the Alps, and spreads its lavish store by Afric's sunny fountains. Edwin and Angelina supped off strawberries when the repentant maid confessed herself to the lonely hermit and learned that he was her lost love. The warriors of Hannibal and Caesar picked them on Roman plains and by Gallic flood. The strawberry dignifies the church festi- val as never oysters nor ice cream can And for garden parties and picnics it 1s a thing of beauty, a never-ending delight to the eye and a realization to the palate as blissful as though it came dripping with dew from the Elysian field e The Crusade Against Corsets. Philadelphla Record Mrs. Margaret Stanton Lawrence, physical director of the Teachers college of New York and daughter of Elizabeth Cady Stan- ton, in a recent discourse upon corsets said: 'Some West Point boys undertook to leave off suspenders and wear tight belts. They all became ill, and it was a long time before any one discovered what was the matter. Then the physiclan ordered belts all off and suspenders all on, and the boys got well. Now, if strong men can't stand pressure around the walst, what do you think of women?" Theoretically, the corset long since ceased to be debatable. Yet women keep on wear- ing this implement of torture, and men not only go without suspenders, but some of them, soclety men, wear corsets, too. As & campaign of education the crusade against the corset is a fallure. The truth is every one admits that the use of the corset s a crime agalnst nature; yet every one hopes that nature will condone the erime in his or ber case. 1ne SECULAR SHOTS AT THE PULPIT.

Details of the plan are omitted, and no wonder. Brooklyn Eagle: A Chicago minister has announced that if the woman's rights move- ment succeods war will be declared between man and woman, and then will come the end, with the race exterminated, and devil on top of the heap. It is statements of this character that account for the re- ceding influence of the pulpit on the minds and action of men Chicago Tribune: The organ of the Greek church in Russia recenily replied to the invitation of the pope for a union of the Greek and Roman churches that such a project was impossible, and warned the pope that it it were serlously attempted it would only add to the member ship of the former. Since this Invitation was sent out the pope has tendered a simi lar one to the Anglican church. The organs of that church, however, reply that such a union cannot take plice. The Roman church must come back to the Anglican fold Wwhich it left centuries ago, and renounce Its errors. This of course Rome will not do, and there you are. So the outlook is favorable for the continuance of three in fallible churches. Boston Globe: In a remarkable sermon in New York City last Sunday the noted preacher, Rev. Thomas Dixon, declared “Ninety per cent of the population of N York City are tenants, the remainder land lords. The churches of today are trying to catch the 10 per cent and let the 90 per cent go by the board.” Making all due allowance ~ for any extravagance on the part of the preacher, his declaration deserves looking at seriously. The stea drift ot the Protestant churches to ward the wealthy “landlord quarter” in the metropolis, as in other cities, is a fact not to be denied. The New Tribune and other journals have noted the tendency and commented upon its possible and probable consequences. It s certainly well worth the while of the leaders in the various denomina- tions to which Mr. Dixon so pointedly refers to consider Ihe important question: ‘‘Can our hurches afford to desert the great and grow ing tenant class in our large cities?" —_—— AL AND OTHERWISE. e York RSO The eminent Dick Croker calms his agi- tated countrymen by announcing that he Will return to New York occaslonally to vote.
