CHlLOReN'S DAY.
A Sermon To- Chnar~n az the Church OF
Christ-The Evening Exercises.

A Sermon to Chitar-u the Church OF
Christ-The Evening Exercises.
The Church of Christ observed Children
Day yesterday, both morning and evening
services being specially adapted to the little
ones The pulpit platform was mass of
beautiful foliage and flowers, while cut
flowers and vines covered the pulpit and
filled the windows on either side. The
pastor preached TO the children at the
morning service. and the front part of the
auditorium was filled with sunday school
scholars His text was Ephesians iv., 22-2f.
Put OIL the ola man,
and pat on the new man. The following
is an abstract OF his sermon:
II am 10 preach TO the children today,
and shall aim 70 be 50 very childish as
70 be understood by the smallest boys and
girls here. am going to talk 10 you about
putting oil and putting on never saw
q boy that was not glad 20 put OF his old
shoes and put ON his new boots, especially
ii they had red tops Nor did l ever see
one who was not willing 10 put OF
his dresses TO pat on his
first pair of pants. our girls
are equally ready 90 put of the Old for the
new. But want to ask YOU 10 change
something more important than clothing.
To put oft your old habits, your bad ones,
and put ON new ones and good ones.
Clothes are sometimes called habits, and
think that habits are the clothes OF our
souls. As tidy clean. well-htted garments
make our bodies attractive, so true, pure,
noble habits make our souls lovely in God
ght A habit is something We have done
So often that we become used TO 1t,
and habits good OF bad, are not easy 70 get
away from 10 IS far better never TO pat on
the bad habit by beginning TO DO wrong,
than 90 form the wrong habit and tnen try

free from any bai nahit. that you never be

language you will be far happier and better

vii save Yourself from q filthy
and foolish habit and will never
have 20 struggle 90 quiz. BOYS begin some
times bv using cigarettes rs n these We're

ference between them is this. Somebody
has defined a cigar as "a roll OF tobacco
with q fire at one end and a fool at the
other If this definition Is correct, then
"a cigarette is simply "a little roll of tobacco
with "A little opium In 10. and a little hre

such as lying. stealing anger, selhshness

A Concession. Not a surrender.

The report coming from FL Paso that
the supreme tribunal Of chihuahua will
order the release of Cutting and the
remission of the fine imposed upon him
is not incredible. The plausible ground
for such action is in the fact that Cutting
has already served two months mpris-
onmcnt. Furthermore, it Is quite reason
able to suppose shat in the present cir
cumstanccs the Mexican authorities
would be disposed to make some conces-
sion, if thereby the matter in controversy
could be closed. They of course under
stand that in consequence of the blum.
dcring of Secretary Bayard at the outset,
in acting prccipitatcly upon information
since found not to have been entirely
accurate, they have rather the advantage
in the issue, and can well afford to rid
themselves of Il troublesome affair if that
can be done by the release of Cutting.
But the dispatch says that the Mexican
tribunal is careful to have it understood
that there is no Surrender in respect
to the right claimed by Mexico
to try an otlensc against its laws com
mitted in the United States by an Amcri-
can citizen. This will leave the princi-
pie which is the root of the controversy
still unsettled.
1t is stated that Cutting will not accept
release as a settlement of the matter so
far as he is concerned, but will demand
an indemnity, probably to the amount of
ten thousand dollars. In this he is said
to be encouraged by Consul Brigham.
The inquiries to be prosecuted by Mr..
Scdgwick, who is now in Mexico as the
envoy of the United States, will doubt
less have great deal to do with dcterm.
ining whether Cutting has any proper
claim to indemnity which would justify
this government in supporting his de-
mand. Meanwhile the statement comes
from Washington that the state depart
ment has no information regarding the
reported intention of the Mexican au-
thorltlcs, while if such action was taken
it would interposc no obstruction to
diplomatic efforts to secure the moditica-
ton or repeal OF the Objectionable
Mexican laws involving the claim to
| extra territorial jurisdiction. Assuming
| the authenticity of these reports, the OBJ
vious deduction is that Mexico sees an
easy way to avoid further and possibly
serious trouble by making Il concession
which would involve no humiliation to
| her, since the United States government
has found it necessary to reccde in n
measure from its original attitude, while
| leaving to the tedious processes of
diplomacy the settlement ut some indcii-
mite time of the prime principle at stake.
| People who have been disposed to deny
| the Mexican government the Judgment
and sagacty to intelligently manage its
case may have reason to reverse their
| opinion.
Omaha daily bee., 1886-08-23

The next legislature will doubtless be
called upon to revise our revenue law.
The system of taxation especially rs APP
piled to cities and to railroads is radically
wrong. Omaha knows its defects, and
every other city in the state suffers pro-
portionally. Assessment under its pro-
visions is Il delusion and snare. The
theory of Il proper assessment is to equal
ize the burden of taxation, to throw its
weight upon shoulders able to sustain it
and to relieve the poor from Il drain
which their small resources
would be unable to sustain. In
practice, Nebraska law, which forces
the cities to take the county assessment
as a basis for taxation throws the burden
ofthe taxes upon the poor and lifts it from
the wealthy. A single city assessor with
power TO appoint deputies and with an
entire year to revise property values and
discover evasions of the law would
change conditions vt once Tins is the
system adopted in all large cities else
where. 1t should be made the law for
cities of the first and second class in
Nebraska.
The evasion of taxes by the railroads
is even more striking and disastrous to
the revenue. In this particular
we suffer with other ncighboring
states. Missouri is now agltating
change in her law providing for taxing
the great railroad corporations. Accord
ing to the st, Louis RepHblicaN the fol
lowing conditions exist
"Thcre are ninety railroads in Mis-
souri,, having n total mileage of 5,Ol7
miles. Their aggregate stock and bonded
debt is 1916, 552, ,000 and this represents
their apparent cost, What their real
cost has been we cannot tell until we
know how much water hes been put INTO
the stock. Mr.. Henry Poor, the railroad
statistlcian, estimates that onchalf the
railway stock and debt of the country is
water. Ii this is true of the railways
of Missouri, their actual cost has
been one-half of $246, ,552 600, or $l22,-
276,0O0, But it is amazing how suddenly
railroad values shrink when brought up
for taxation. The taxable value of all
the railroads in Missouri is only $42 ,OOO,-
000-little more than one.sixth their pre-.
tended cost, and little more than one
third their estimated actual cost. In the
counties of Missouri property is taxed at
about onc-half its actual cash value; in
St. Louis IT four lifths, and in many cases
at its full cash vfsti,aaaa Why railroads,
which are profit-earning sp6clgs OF
property, should enjoy the favor of 50
much lower taxable valuation than other
kinds of property IS question which
the assessors alone can answer"

assassins recently convicted in Chicago.
If they should break Jail and escape TO
Canada they could plead against eXtradi-
ton that the murderous dynamite bomb
was flung into the ranks of the police for
a political purpose, and under tins doc
trine the claim would be allowed. Under
every code in the civilized world such
deeds are murders and they cannot be
palliatod as political oflenscs. Revolution
or war create political offenders. Such
persons may commit high treason against
their country and upon escaping cannot
be delivered up by any government with
out violating the hospitality of nations.
But the common sense of mankind
makes a wide distinction between this
class of political offenders and the assas-
sins who plot wholesale murder by fling
ing cans OF dynamite into crowded
streets with the atrocious prctcnsion that
they are engaged in rcorganizlng society.

Political Offenders.

The senate will have TWO eXtradition
treaties to consider when it meets in
December session, The English treaty
is likely to cause more discussion than
the one with Japan on account of its
clause making malicious injury to life
and property" an extraditable otiiense.
Some unnecessary fears are expressed
lest this clause, If ratified, should put in
jeopardy the lives and liberties of per-
sons charged with alleged political
otfenses. The question should be clearly
defined, Who are political offenders? In
the most obvious and general sense po-
litical oi1enses consist in attacking the es-
tablished political order of government in
country. No one pretends that political
offenders of this class could be delivered
up under an eXtradition treaty. 1t
seems to be assumed by some that crimes
committed under the orders of secret
political society, for an alleged political
purpose, would bring the perpetrators
under the protection of International
law as political offenders. This is doe
trine which no right thinking man can
admit 1t would have protected Fieschi
who murdered number of innocent
persons in the streets of Paris in an
attempt upon the life of Louis
Philippe. 1t would protect the
