VAN WICK of Nebraska has scored a
victory against one of the great railroad
corporations of the country, and made it
disgorge fifteen millions acres of land.
The senate hated to do ii but the plpcky
senator from Nebraska forced them to
take up the bill and actually compelled
the railroad tools to vote against their
masters. Of course be will be made to
suffer for it. He has put al end to his
political career as the railroad compsn-
les will see to it that he will never again
fill position where he can do them harm
in doing his duty to the people. He
may have the approval of his own con-
science, however and the respect of tbs
few who do their own thinking.

THR independents are acting quite
manly in making no claims for the servi-

cerity when they stated they were not in

them some recognition end they should
at least be offered position. 40 doubt
any one of them who are worthy to fill

it would save them from the sneers sure

THERE is one thing which will be of
great assistance to Judge Taylor if he
should be a candidate for re election
the fact that corporations cannot control
him. There is one thing more which
will work against him,-t greed of the
republicans in seeking to have mona but
men of their political bias on the supreme
court bench. This does not make Judge
Taylor less impartial or able Judge but
it will lessen his strength. II the repub-
ican papers could be muzzled for brief
spell, Taylor would be elected by an
overwhelming majority.

FROM reports received at this Office it
seems that some parties attribute con
siderable political shrewdness to tie edi.
tor of this paper. He finds nothing
more distasteful than obtruding his own
personality in these columns and has
heretofore studiously avoided doing so
even when silence was construed as
confirmation of rumors. Any one who
occupies public position cannot escape
suspicion, but anything in the line of
political management" INDUCED in by
the editor of this paper consists in mind
ing his own business, and leaving the
management of politics to others hav-
ing more taste for it and the "shrewd-
ness necessary to successful manipula.
ton.
Not since his connection with the
schools OF the county has he talked poll
tics in the:interests of any one, nor allow
ed himself to be consulted with reference
to desirable combinations. If counsel
has been given in couple of instances
when sought, it was more in the direction
OF discussion from seeking Office than in
giving "points." There should be some
basis of fact for suspicious OF this kind
before they are given currency. If peo-
pie are to be condemned on what the i'm
aginati0n may couture up, no one is safe.

SYSTEMATIC war las finally been

SYSTEMATIC war las finally been de-
clared against the roller Kinks and the
| churches have concluded it is their duty
| to fight the Irrational vice." The elm
moralities of the rink" have become pat
ent in the ruin of many girls who loved
| the expert not wisely but too well. In
the little city of Clean N. Y. alone, eight
cen young girls have confessedly come to
shame and increased the illegitimate
population of the place through the OPP
| portunities furnished by the rink and the
passions aroused by the'hugging" which
is feature of skating in couples. Then
| the divorces which come from the "mash-
| es' made at the rink; the elopements
which result, and the number of cases of
| bigamy which hasty marriages with
handsome strangers bring about, have
startled the proper persons.
The rink furnishes opportunities which
would be sought elsewhere if there were
no Kinks. A girl who has not been edu-
Gated to propriety and who is taught to
| find amusement in those things calcula-
ted to strengthen the passions, will 20 to
| ruin if there was not rink in the world.
The rink simply hastens the fall that is
inevitable. A girl who will tolerate hug
ging will find ample opportunities to in
dulge her propensities. If such a one
marries, the marriage will be unfortunate
and will bring misery to more than one.
The Survival OF the fittest" is not bad
doctrine in morals, and many parents can
learn wisdom only through the agony Of
remorse. Skating is not bad exercise if
taken for the purpose of exercise. If in
dulged in, as many claim, because it fur
nishss an excuse for hugging, it is immor-
al. But the modest girl can take the ex
ercise aud omit the hugging which tends
to ruin. If the enjoyment in the skating
comes from the proximity of man with
strong animal magnetism, rest assured
other opportunities than those offered by
the rink will be improved.

If Milwaukee could by any means be
set aside from the state there would be
abundent cause for rejoicing on the part
of the people of tho remainder of the
state. Milwaukee demanded a normal
school when the number already in exist
enoe in the state more than met the de-
mand and when the greatest need was
more students for the schools already es
tablishsd. The normal school fund bare
ly sufficsd to keep those running which
were meeting fully the public demand.
But Milwaukee wanted normal school
and the Legislature acting as it always
does in educational matters, hastily and
ill-advised, granted the request of the
metropolis. That normal school will
simply be local institution and train
teachers for the Milwaukee schools onlv.
To meet the expense incident to its es-
Enlistment, it is proposed to lossen the
educational force OF the other normal
schools, and cut down their curriculum
so that it will not be as extensive az the
ordinary high school. Milwaukee with
it's organized delegation" is a sraspine
dictatorial factor in the legislature and
lts de nands should be looked upon with
distrust by every member of the legisla-
ture not member of the delegation.

THE COUNTY JUDGESHIP.

Last week The Pilot published a call
upon Judge Smart to be an independent
candidate for tie Office of county Judge
The call had no reference to party and
was inserted In Difference to the many
persons whose names appeared upon the
list. 1t was inserted as any other COM
munication upon a fit topic would be,
without in any sense committing this pa
per to the views of the subscribers to the
call.
This explanation is made because it
has been learned at this Office that some
signatures were secured by certain per-
sons on the representation that The Pilot
was favorable to the candidacy of Judge
Smart. The parties thus speaking
ing for The Pilot are guilty Of deliberate
deception and have had no warrant for
their statements, either in any thing The
Pilot has said or any intimation of pre-
ference by its editor personally.
1t is due these persons whose action
in this matter may have been Influenced
by friendliness to this paper that they be
undeceived. The democratic convention
will probably make good nomination.
1t has sufficient number Of good candi-
dates from which to make selection
and if none of these be satisfactory to a
majority of the convention, a selection
from outside the active aspirents can be
made which will meet the hearty approx
al of all interested in filling public Offices
with men OF competency. The Pilot will
be second to none in extending a cordial
support to any worthy choice of that
convention. Its past record should
leave no doubt as to what its future
course will be. 1t leaves no one in doubt
as to its support Of. or opposition to, q
candidate. 1t construed it's duty to the
people at one time to bs to bolt demo-
cratic nomination and it did it in no I'm
certain way and braved all the consequen-
ces attendant on such a step. II it had
any purpose to support Judge Smart
now it would have announced the fact.
So much OF an explanation is due its
friends, and it must be said if they had
watched its course no such announce
msnt as the above would be necessary,
as it has lever done anything to forfeit
its standing in the party, though it re
CARDS its right to criticise as inalienable
and will continue to exercise it.
The Pilot has no disposition to notice
any remarks which have emanated from
"suspicion," though no other paper in
the state is SO free from anything in the
line of self seeking, or in attempts at
shaping local politics for its own advan.
tage. 1t has never been the "organ" OF
any one and has never under its present
management been party in any combin
alton. It has legitimate business which
pays and does not labor for anything
contingent upon the political success. OF
any one. It has never asked favor OF
a county officer and whatever business
has come from them has been wholly I'm.
solicited. If these statements are in any
way contrary to the truth, any one cog
infant Of the fact has these columns open
to him to expose the falsehood.

SCHOOL legislation when it originates

SCHOOL legislation when it originates
counsel with people engaged in educa-
tional work, is apt to be mischievous.
Though the provisions of such laws in
the main may be praiseworthy, still thsre
are some little details required, or omit
ted, which make the laws hindranoe to,
rather than promotive of, educational
progress. The statute books are full of
such laws. One in particular, which is
source OF the greatest annoyance, is a
law relating ~ q change of text books.
There was nothing demanding the enact
| ment OF such law. In fact, there were
many things which required encourage
| ment toward change. School boards
| have been too reluctant in making needed
changes. But now change is prscti-
cally impossible. 1t requires an affr-
native vote of majority of the legal vo
tsrs of the district at annual school meet
ing. There are number of school dis :
tricts still using the old readers and the
old grammars of years ago and losing
the advantages which the improved tex.
books of later years should give. Last
year a school district which has been us
ing Sanders old readers wished to make
change but the law stood in the way
and prevented it. If a school board has
any reason for its being, it is because a
select few can act with more promptness
and effect for the benefit of the body of
which it is the servant. A crowd can not
do its work al we'll as few selected from
it, call. This law was passed not in the
interests of the people, but because some
school book publishers found it to their
advantage to have such an obstacle in the
way of replacing their books by better
ones. Every legislator feels competent
to Introduce laws or school matters and
forced to contend with laws which if
| not Intentionally hostile, are so in effect
The law providing for uniformity of text
books is in some things piece of bung-
ling stupidity, but it's passage need create
no alarm as duty would compel the teach
er to disregard its provisions. Uniform.
ity in text books is not undesirable, but
when coupled with such conditions az
the present bill contemplates, it is q
laughable absurdity and in perfect keep
ing with the practice of the teacher whoae
highest ideal of the duties of his profes
sion is to make the pupils under his
charge ''study their lessons" For the
sake of the reputation of the legislature
it is to be hoped the bill will not pass.
So far as the prosperity of the schools is
concerned, it does'nt make bit of differ
ence, as the very absurdity of some of it's
provisions will make evasion proof of
duty we'll performed.
