SENATOR HENDERSON is entitled to the
thanks of the merchants of Omaha for
introducing a bill making Omaha a port
Of entry. The bill has passed the senate
and in all probability will pass the house.
It will prove a great benefit not only to
Omaha but to the state. This bill, If 1t
becomes a law, will enable our merchants
to import directly from Europe and pay
the duties in Omaha, thus doing away
with the transaction of that business at
New York.

MANUAL

The tendency to establish schools for
manual instruction Is growing in popular
favor in the large cities of the east.
Several of these institutions have proved
very successful, and this gives encourage
ment to the extension of the system, the
principal idea of which is to instruct the
young in the various arts and trades 30
that they may learn something of prac-
tical value to them when they enter upon
the discharge Ct LIES active duties and
are thrown upon their own resources.
The trouble with our general system Of
education lis that 1t is confined too close.
ly to mental training, while the training
of the hands to act In obedience to
the mind is almost entirely neg.
lected. When our children
leave the Common schools, the semina-
ries and the colleges, they have a umat-
tering of learning, but they are wholly
u%nprepared to make their OWL way, and
have to be assisted for years afterwards.
The result of too much mentral training
Is that we have too many clerks, too many
lawyers, too many doctors, too many
professional men of all kinds, and too
many men who are seeking soft berths.
What we need Is more skilled mechanics,
for whom there is always, as a rule, plen-
ty of work and good pay, and the way to
produce such mechanics and artizans is to
afford abundant opportunity for our boys
and girls to learn some useful trade while
they are at the same time receiving men
tai training. Manual instruction should
be made a part of every ones practical
education, and it should be given In such
a manner as to make it a pleasure to the
pupil. There Is at present a very anil
mated agitation upon this subject in Phil
adelphia and it is proposed to establish
separate schools of manual instruction
to which the youth who have attained
a degree of proficiency In the
public schools may be transferred to
be taught some useful avocation. This
will not be left entirelyt to choice, as such
violation would tend to the same objec-
ton which pertains to the cid apprentice
system. 1t would overcrowd some &C.
cupstion and deplete others. A COM
petent teacher can easily learn the bent
of the boys mind and ability. These
should be seized and given direction and
instruction. This we understand to be
the purpose of the new movement, and
1t should be given the broadcast and most
substantial encouragement. The Educa-
tionsl Association of Philadelphia has
made application to the city council for
an appropriation efficient to demonstrate
this theory. 1t is certainly worth the
cost of an experiment.
The Pennsylvania Museum and School
of Industrial Art has had for a number
of years in 81 ccessful operation a school
for furnishing such practical instruction
In drawing, painting, modelling and de.
signing as Is required by workmen in the
various constructive and decorative arts,
and to serve as a training school for
teachers in these branches.
1t is to be hoped that every large city
In this country will establish schools of
manual instruction. We believe Chicago
already has several in connection with
the public schools, and hat the results
are proving satisfactory.

STATESMEN AND POLITICIANS

SAaii1SHACS oA>D
To the Editor of The BEE.
Will you kindly answer through the
columns of THE BEE the following
questions2 Do you consider James G.
Blaine a statesman, and if so, what con-
stitutes q statesman In your opinion?
Very respectfully, j. w. 81.
COUNCIL BLUFFS, December 20, 1884.
We hardly know chow to answer the
above question. There seems to be a DIFF
ference of opinion as to what constitutes
a statesman. We have just received
from the Pictorial Bureau of the Press,
In Philadelphia, a circular with the ..por-
traits of eminent men. First among the
portraits ie Carl Schurz's, with the word
politician" under it, while under the
portrait of Allen G. Thurman aud John
Sherman appears the word Statesman"
Benjsmin f. Buffers picture is also
am ong the portraits of eminent men, and
he, too, is distinguished as a Statesman"
Now, Schurz, Sherman and Thurman
were all In the United States senate, but
Schurz is q politician while Sherman and
Thurman are statesmen. Schurz and
Sherman were both members of the same
cabinet, but Thurman has never occupied
80 exalted a position. But Schurz is a
politician, while the other two are states.
men. Schurz has had experience In the
field of diplomacy, having been our min
ter plenipotentiary to Spain, but that
doesn't count. He Is merely a politi-
clan. Ben Butler, who has sailed around
as q political fllbuster ever since he tried
TO nominate jeff Davis for presi.
dent, is ranked as a statesman,
|, Now Mr.. Blaine, whose portrait does not
appear among the pictorial gallery of EN-.
inent men, Is as much a statesman as any
, of the rest of the politicians. The line
between the politician and the statesman
LIS so closely drawn, at least In this coun'
try, that you cannot discover much diff
r ference between the two. However, II
takes a great politician to become a great
s statesman, and most of the politicians
never achieve sufficient recognition to be
. come statesmen unless they live in Ohio

GROVER CLEVELAND is being overrun
with delegations of pilgrims from all
parts of the country. So many of these
offioe.seeking delegations would not go to
Albany to urge on the president-elect,
says the New York Herald, the "claims"
of this or that man for federal Office If
they would read Mr.. Cleveland's frequent
declarations about the appointing power
and its exercise, and would examine In
what manner he has acted
In this particular while gov
ernor of New York. This Is certainly
not very comforting to the million OF
more of democratic office seekers. The
Herald, however, may be correct as tc
Cleveland's intentions, but whether he
can Withstand the pressure remains to bt
seen. The Herald says:
The doctrine of "claims" to office Is al
old one, and we are happy to believe tina
1t is going into limbo with the profession

THERE certainly ought to be a boiler
inspector In this city. There are over
sixty boilers in Omaha and they are used
year in and year out without any inspec-
tion whatever. This Is nothing more nor
less than carelessness, which sooner or
later Is likely to result in some serious
accident to life and property. We do
not believe that there is a city in this
country the aize of Omaha that does not
compel the thorough inspection Of boilers
at frequent intervals to see that they are
In safe condition, and to recommend and
enforce all necessary repairs. We un.
derstond that the stationary engineers OF
this city, ONE f%orty-ive In
number, propose to call upon
the city council to appoint a competent
boiler inspector and to define his duties,
and the BEE heartily endorses the move.
ment. We have from time to time urged
the council to take this step; but prob.
ably owing to d fear that the creation of
this Office would involve some expense
or that boiler inspection was unneces-
sary, nothing has been done in the mat
ter. The fact Is, however, that there

spector, as his services will be easily paid

passed by the legislature, if the proper
