The city council is billed for a meeting tonight, when it is thought that the mat- ter of paying the members of the fire and police deparments will be taken up. It is sincerely hoped by members of Mayor Kelly's officlal family that some arrange- ments may be made to pay the men now in the employ of the city, in order that | they may be provided with the necessaries | ot lite. As mentioned a few days ago, there is talk of imposing a general occupation tax in order to derive revenus, which will be lost by the increase of the liguor license from $500 to $1,000. In mauy quarters this tax, which is being advocated to some ex- tent by Mayor Kelly, is considered just the thing, while others do mot like it at all. Concerning the proposed oc ation tax a well known attorney sald last evening: 1 am opposed to any measure which will cause business men and professional men to pay what is called an Jccupation tax Some years ago I lived in a city in a nelgh- boriug state where such a law was in ex- istence and it was considered obmoxious by all business and professional men. This tax was contested and the case taken (o the supreme court. No one who could gel out of it ever paid this tax, becauee it was con sidered unjust and unfair. I would suggest that instead of burdeniug the men in smaller lines of business in South Omaha, in addition to the already heavy taxes, the proper way would be (o make tho great corporations pay somewhere near their proper share of the expense of maintaining the municipal government.” Continuing In this strain the attorney sald that it was simply ridicuious to value packing plants at the figures now turn In by the ussessors. He holds that with a fair valvation the levy would be less and an equal division of taxatiun given to all Charter Suggestio Many republicans are up in arms in o; position to the proposition put forth by Mayor Kelly and his aide-de-camp Johnston in relation to the dividing of the clty into six wards and electing counclimen et large. Such action would result in turning the city over to the democrats with no hope of recovery by the republicans. What the bulk of republicans want is a division of the irst ward, the dividing line to be Twenty- fourth strect. By a division of this sort two republican wards, will be formed, thus making only flve wardd instead of six. It is understood that Mayor Kelly is heartily in favor of the six-ward plan and will use his influence to have this section of the new charter adopted by the joint committee Some people even go so far as to say that it the proposed charter is accepted by the legislature and there 18 an election in the spring Kelly will swing over to the demo- crats and be a candidate for mayor on the democratic ticket. This action on Kelly's part will, however, disarrange the plans already made by Dr. Ensor, who expects to be the nomines of the democrats in case there is an election in the spring In speaking of this matter a well known republican sald last night that the demo- eratic members of the council charter com- mitteo along with Mayor Kelly want to divide the First ward at J street, thus prae- tically making two democratic wards. This will not, it 1s asserted, be permitted by the members of the legislature elected from Douglas county. County Road Fund. One thousand dellars has been turned ints the street repalr fund of South Omaha by the commissioners, this sum being due from the county road tax. The amount will do little if any good, however, as the fund fs overdrawn and the money will be used to take up outstanding claims. In this connec- tlon It may be stated that the unpaved streets of the city are in better shape this winter than ever before, owing to the good work that has been done by Commissioner Clark with his road machine.

This was the case even when there were no important changes in the business situation in the United States. In short, all the Incidents indi- cating, however remotely. that country's compotition were disastrous in their bear- ings on our business situation, and they became very important factors in determin- ing the attitude of the German bourses and the quotations of securities. “Wall street quotations frequently breathe the standard for all other ex- changes. The entrance of the United States into the ranks of creditor nations signifies a change in the times. Ever since the war with Spain the United States gavernment has pursued undeviating a world policy of vorld conqu European states must familiarize themselves with the thought that the United States will have a very welghty word in determining the new po- litical constellations among tho leading na- tons, America’s action in undertaking the Nicaragua canal also proves that the miN- tary and, stll more, the diplomatic par- ticipation of the United States shall bear fruit.” BOGUS CARDINAL'S SENTENCE Extraordinary Linr Who Bambo onks In France Must Serve in Five Years, PARIS, Dec. 26.—The appeal court has confirmed the sentence of five years' fm- prisonment imposed on an ineglous swind ler named Goffray, who posed in local cir- cles here in April last as “Cardial Bishop of Washington,” soliciting funds to con- vert the young Indians of New Mexico. Several times Goffray succeeded in cele- brating mass and once was nearly arrested on the point of celebrating mass at Stras- burg. Finally he appeared at Monteltmar, in the department of Drome, where he lec- tured to the Trappist monks on his ter- rible adventures in the Rocky mountains and where, he said, he was scalped by the In- dians to whom he was preaching the gos- pel.

The ma- Jority of the schools are denominational col leges, although there are several normal and commerclal schools, such as the Fre- mont Normal school at Fremont and the Omaha and Lincoln business colleges. Among the leading denominational schools are the University of Omaha, Wesleyan,unt- versity, Cottner university, Union college. Doane college at Crete, Hastings college at Hastings, Grand Island at Grand Island, the Kearney Military academy at Kearney and others too numerous to mention, for in fact, all the leading religlous denominations have some seat of learning in the state, and that they are doing a grand work those that are best acquainted with their work can testify. Many of these schools have expended thousands of dollars in bulldings and equip- ments and some of these building are of the fluest to be found In the west Although the early history of many of these schools is mostly a record of financial difficulties, through the earnest efforts of noble men and women who made it pos- sible for them to exist at all thoy are now on a more firm financial basis and extena to the youth of the land a grand opportun- ity for the betterment of his condiion. The financial reward of the founders and of the generous men and women at present connected with these institutions will never be great, but they will always be remembered as the great uplifters of Christian education in the west, In regard to our normal schools it is only necessary to point to our public hools as a proof of their excellency. We have only one state normal school, which 1s at Peru, but the educational people of the state have asked the. present legislature to take measures for the establishing of at least two more normal schools. Although they may not be granted this request at present. they are sure to be heard in the near future, as the educational system of the state demands them. With these and a satisfactory high school law our educa- #lonal system will be complete. ‘The location of these schools will proh- ebly be in the west and central part of the state, as the eastern part not only con- tains the present normal school, but a ma- Jority ¢f the private schools as well, yet we find one school, the Chadron academy, as far west as Chadron. In speaking of the commercial schools we do not hesitate to say that Nebraska is well supplied, for among these institutions we have some of the finest to be found in the west. That the value of a commercial education is realized by the masses is proven from the fact that many of the high schools have recently added commerciai departments. The high echool at Crete, Neb., has not only added a commercial de- partment, but a sRorthand and typewriting department as well, and many of the schools have offices for the teaching of bookkeep- ing, banking, ete. Whether these additions to the high gchool are In line with the best educational ideas and whether they are an advance- ment It remains for the reader to de 1de, but that the school men of Nebraska are not slow in picking up new ideas none will deny. Although these schools have been'called private schools, they are in a greater sense a part of the public school system of the state and could not, without untold injury, be separated from it. For it is they that have made it possible for numbers of oir teachers, as well as those in other walks of life, to better their education. There is pethaps mo other feature of the school life of these institutions more no- ticeable than the hand of fellowship and the opprotunities for self-help that they offer.
