We sometimes hear of stride in the way
Of reform, made by some far-of country, that
should bring blush TO the cheek OF every
contentious. American. We, as = Nation,
claim much higher degree OF culture in the
arts, aud amenities of human life than most
other civilized nations.
Lately in the far-of land Of New Zealand,
q measure has been passed to promote the
welfare Of a community, that is an exemplary
popular reform for US,
We are informed that three million acres
of fertile land. in New Zealand, has been ded-
icated to prohibition forever. This measure
is founded upon provision in the I.icens-
ing Act of the colony; that if the native
owners of any land in which license for
the sale Of Intoxicating drink has not yet been
granted make application to the Governor to
have their lands exempt from the operations
OF the licensing act. The Governor in coun-
ell shall make proclamation declaring that
no license for the sale of drinks shall be
granted within such areas.
These uncultured islanders have made this
Jealous effort TO protect their homes from the
demon OF intemperance. We cannot help
but regret that like effort was not made
when our own lands were being colonized
and redeemed from savagery. If the Indians
had been saved from the ravages of "fire
water" what suffering and loss would have
been prevented both to the red men and the
white settlers and their children.
And even now though we have advanced
TO the highest round OF civilization, yet do we
lack this protection by legislation of our
homes from this monstrous evil which even
the ignorant Maori race have brought about.

II. \. W. TABOR, Chairman
Omaha daily bee., 1888-02-07

A VOTE will probably be taken to-
day in the house of representatives on
the Lowry-White contested election
case, which has been characterized by
a great deal of interest and some excep-
tional developments. The indications
now are that White, who is d republi-
can, will be given the seat, notwith-
standing the fact that the majority re-
port of the committee on elections was
against him. His case. however, was
SO strong that certain democrats found
it impossible without stultifying their
convictions to accept the judg-
ment of the majority of the
committee, and are counted upon
to vote against it. Among
these is the Tammany representative,
Bourke Cochran, who made an eloquent
speech in support of Whites claim, and
a number of other democrats are named
rs holding the same view. There can
be no question that the finding OF the
majority of tho committee ON elections
was prompted wholly by partisan con-
siderations, and it is most creditable to
the democrats who have talk en- the con-
trary view that they refused to be bound
by such a consideration. Soexceptional
an exhibition OF honesty by political
partisans is most interesting aud COM
mendable.

Death of Miss Shattuck.

Miss Shattuck, the teacher who had
both legs amputated few days ago at
her home in Seward, died Monday
morning. Prior to the receipt of this
sad news the BEE had sent to Miss
Shattuck the sum of $3,752, the total
subscription in her behalf amounting to
nearly $4,000. This money has become
a part of the estate OF the dead heroine,
and of course no part Of it can now be
diverted. 1t will go to her family, con-
sisting of her father, a veteran of the
war, who is disabled, her mother and two
sisters and a brother, all having been
largely dependent upon the efforts Of the
deceased. The question whether sub
scriptions to the Shattuck fund shall be
continued will be determined by each
contributor according to his or her
sense Of duty or 'expediency. 1t will
not be amiss, however, to suggest that
inasmuch as the chief purpose Of this
fund was to make provision for the fam
lily, deprived Of its main support, that
object is not rendered any less urgent
by reason of the death of Eta Shattuck,
but perhaps more so. The dead heroine
cannot realize or participate in the
popular beneficence, but the stricken
hearts that survive her will have the
burden of their great sorrow lightened
by the assurance that public sympathy
with their misfortune did not
die with the going out of
the life Of their brave, dutiful
and honored daughter. The soldier
who gave the best years of his man
hood to his country and is unable to
help himself has claim upon his fell
low countrymen no less just and urgent
now that the staff upon which he leaned
has fallen from him.
With regard to the general fund, it is
to be hoped the death Of Miss Shattuck
will not interfere with the continuance
Of contributions to it. Miss Royce has
Omaha daily bee., 1888-02-07

q claim upon the sympathies and phil
anthropy Of the people that must not be
disregarded. She is about TO undergo
the amputation Of both feet and an arm.
II she survive the ordeal she will
be helpless. There could be no
sadder appeal than her case makes to a
generous people. 1t may be said, also,
that Miss Freeman deserves a more
generous testimonial than she would re-
ceive from the fund as it now stands.
In a word, let the good work go on, to
the end that these heroic teachers or
those who survive them shall receive
such reward Of courage, fidelity and
fortitude as becomes an appreciative
and generous people to bestow.

Omaha's New Postofiice.

The senate ON Tuesday took up Mr. Man
derson's bill, appropriating sl,2OO,0OO for a
new site and building for the government
offices at Omaha. Without any debate or de-
lay the bill was passed and turned over to the
house for its action. Here it will be looked
after by Representatives McShane, Dorsey
and Laird, and the probabilities Of speedy
endorsement are highly encouraging. The
rapid advancement made by our metropolis
in the past few years has rendered it abso-
lutely imperative that new and larger
building and grounds be provided for federal
Omaha daily bee., 1888-02-07

BISMARCK addressed the reichstag
yesterday, as was expected, and the
character of the speech accorded with
what had been foreshadowed regarding
it. II not unqualifiedly reassuring, it is
certainly so far pacific as to warrant
confidence that war in Europe is not to
be expected at any early day. So far as
the relations between Germany and
France are concerned they are shown
by the language Of Bismarck to present
no present cause OF alarm, while he ex-
presses himself as not in the least ap-
prehensive of hostile designs on the
part OF Russia. He discredits all news
paper reports and opinions, but
gives absolute confidence to the
word Of the czar, from which it is to be
inferred that he has assurances Of the
Russian ruler which warrant his belief
that Russia is not menacing the peace
OF Europe. 1t may be possible to find
in this address some points that suggest
mental reservation, but on the whole
it will doubtless be received by Europe
as containing the promise of peace in
the immediate future without commit
ting its author to any assurances for a
remote period. Even SO much will give
great relief to people oppressed with
3oubts and fears.

The City Hall Job.

That Omaha is in need OF new city
hall building is generally admitted
fact. Had it not been for the trickery
and jobbery of the city council the
building to-day would have been far on
its way towards completion. Instead of
showing proper spirit for the public
welfare, the majority of the council
have acted throughout as obstruction
lists. The consequence is that Omaha
is about as far from having a city hall
as when the enterprise was first dis
cussed. Petty jealousy and spite
have to q great extent gov
erned the action of several
councilmen in this matter. The tax
payers of Omaha, who are almost unan-
imously in favor of public improve
ments, are becoming tired of these
vexatious delays. They want to see
some progress made in the city hall
structure, and they certainly will view
with suspicion any further obstruction
on the part Of the council.
The council has now abrogated the
contract with Architect Myers, and
proposes to acquire more ground
to the north of the present site
so that larger building can
be erected. This new departure
will necessitate not only the draw
ing of new plans, but the expenditure
OF a much larger sum of money than that
originally voted by the electors of this
city. Even if this plan Is carried out it
involves long delay. No larger sum
of money than that already voted can be
used in any such enterprise ex-
cept by vote of the peo-
pie. Nor can it be done
without the consent of the board Of ed
ucation, which body has already put
over $40, 900 in the foundation. If the
board Of education should object to the
new scheme it can prevent it by an in
junction. The money already invested
in the foundation will likely prove a
dead loss if the city council abandons
the present plans.
1t looks very much as if the council
intends to pave the way for very big
''job." In the interest Of the taxpayers
of Omaha the BEE would advise jobbers
to go very slow. The people Of this city
are becoming impatient, and will not
be imposed upon much longer.
