SCHOOL SUPERINTEND ENCE

At the meeting of the Board of Education this
afternoon the balloting for an assistant SUPER
intcndent, to fill the vacancy caused by the
death OF Mr.. Schem, will be continued, unless
the special committee appointed at the last
meeting should report that the present force is
sufficient to do the work of the Office and the
report should be accepted. 1t would seem that
one city superinte ndcnt, four assistant supcrin-
tendcnts for grammar schools and two assistant
superintendcnts for primary schools could fur
nish as much supervising as the schools coald
well endure provided the principals were en-
listed rs cX-oiiico coworkcrs. This entire
scheme of supcrintendence needs Il thorough
Overhaullng. Ii is no doubt nicely artculated
into highly organized system and no better
plan could be devised, if the entire educational
machinery of the city has for its sole or at least
its central purpose the working out of abso-
lntely uniform results in matters external and
superficial The system l., admirable if means
are to be exalted into the place of ends and if
school officers are convinced that the most vain
able results are attained when all the children
OF the city are singing the same song or re-
peating the same table at a given minute of q
given day.

white population of the Territory then consisted of
a few thousand people living in or near Omaha q

INTER- NATIONAL CROAEING

Foreign critics are borrowing no end of
trouble over the financial prospects of the
United States. The Economist rates our Gov
crnmcnt sonndy for not applying its unprcce-
dcntcd surplus to reduction of import duties
rather than n reduction of the National debt
1t finds ground for grave apprehension in the
Tact That our Government persists in paving of
Its debts ut such ruinous rate and i'm accumu
lating resources which will enable it before
long to convert all its outstanding bonds into
threes. Precisely what will happen, if we keen

Thanks TO the cool summer rather than to

in the spring has not arrived. The statistics
OF the Board of Health show general de
crease i'll the number of smallpox and typhus
cases Less than dozen cases of typhus fever
were reported last week, and the disease is
SAID TO be practically disappearing. Thirty
one cases OF smallpox were reported, but this
Is a tailing-On from previous rates The
whole number of smallpox and typhus patients
at present in the Riverside Hospital is re-
spechycly 81 and SO. This is en-
couraging, but it must be remembered
that the summer, as NcwYork summers go,
has not fairly set in yet. All the days of Sc
we're heat which we have hal thus far would
hardly, il added together, make more than q
week. The test of the sanitary condition of
the city and its liability to an alarming conta-
glon Is yet to come. 1t may not come at all,
1t is true, but AL possible preparation should
be made for it. There are parts of the city.
especially in the streets bordering the rivers,
where much remains to be done in the work
of cleaning, and it should be done with all
speed. 1t might have been wise act to in
crease the appropriation for the summer
months so as to hasten this work. but nothing
now remains but to make the best use of the
situation as it is. This the public is confident
the new Commissioner will do.

that the Conkling members of tho Legislature

means that last weeks caucus was not "rcgu-

called caucus in precisely the same way last
January. Another caucus was called in the
same way in May, except that only Il pitiful
minority signed the call, and ut that rump caucus
Speaker Sharpe expressed his astonishlnent at
the clam that " the Republicans cannot get to-
gothCr for consultation upon perhaps the
" most important duty they have to perform
" in the Legislature, unless the two caucus

"agree upon the call" Further he said {:
" The party has a right to act in spite of and
"bcyond and above the objections of any
Senate Caucus Committee and above all or
"any two Senators that may be named" 1t is
just this righ' which the Speaker so broadly
asserts that the majority of the Republicans
have exercised, and the Speaker is bound by
his own uttoranccs to recognize their action
as binding upon him.

The Washington dispatches show no reason
able ground for the little furry in the public
mind yesterday about the Presidents condi-
ton. There has been an increase at times in the
fever, but this is an inevitable incident of the
healing process, and the physicians at Wash
lngton say in the most positive terms that it
is not cause for alarm. They say that the
President has shown an almost constant, though
necessarily slow, improvement with huctua-
honS that are to be expected in Il sorely
wounded man. DIR. Bliss declared in the after
noon that the President was better than at
any time since he had been wounded
1t is now the eleventh day since he
was shot, and he is pulling steadily ahead
though still sadly weak. The consciousness
that the hearts of the whole people are with
hun must and, we are told, does, bear him
up and give him strength.

An unfaithful and unworthy agent of the
Society for the Prevention of Crime WAS
sentenced yesterday by Judge Cowing to five
years Imprisonment for perjury. The man last
May caused the arrest of two persons upon the
charge that they kept gambling house, then
made an affidavit that this charge was false
and, on the witness stand, sworc that his
second affidavit was true. The affair suggests
the need of great caution in selecting the agents
of these societies-which, no doubt, this society
now fully appreciates.

riot which five militia regiments were called

persons were killed and injured. Yesterday
the Orangemen went on peaceful picnic up
the Hudson River, which certainly seems Il
much better way of spending the day, not
only for the sake of the Orangemen, but of the
militia and the general public. As a pleasure
excursion picnic is much to be preferred to a
riot, especially the loss of life is likely to be
comparatively small
