Corili ana Mary.

UbTFOU
AS we stood on Court street, yesterday,
chewing toothpick, q couple of handsome
young Bohemians, named Corill Bernasck
and Mary Andel, respectively, lavishly deco
rated with roses and pink ribbon, swept past,
closely followed by more elderly pair on
their way to Judge Conants office. We fol-
lowed the example of other gentlemen and
our natural inclinations and followed the fair
young couple. The judge is getting the busi-
ness down pat and the old mill ground out a
ceremony that made two souls unite as one
to begin the voyage of life full partners IN
the strife, to share equally the veal and woe
that is inevitable and unavoidable on this
mum dane sphere.

THE name of Prof. Dolbear is we'll
known in scientific circles especially in
connection with his improvements Of
the telephone and other electrical de-
vices. His latest invention, recently
exhibited in Boston, gives promise OF
revolutionizing the business of post and
parcel transportation between cities
and has consequently excited great in
terest. The device consists of single
elevated rail upon which long narrow
box or car capable of holding thousand
letters or parcels can run. At intervals
along the track are placed hollow coils
OF insulated wire charged with powerful
currents of electricity. The car is itself
magnet and the principle upon which
it operates is the tremendous force
which a coil of wire through which q
current of electricity is passed is known
to exert in drawing magnet to its CEN
ter. AT frequent points along the
track these coils of wire are repeated
and connected so that current is
passed through them. The power in
the first coil is about one-half of one
horse power and the coils are
so arranged that as soon as
the car or magnet is drawn
into the center of each, the power is
automatically cut off and the oar.rushes
along to the next coil, the whole being
so arranged that the motion is not only
continuous but extremely rapid. The
claim is made that the distance between
New York and Boston can be covered
by this portelectric system in two
hours, and that the problem of rapid
transit for the transmission of the mails
is solved. The experiments so far have
been eminently successful. If the de-
vice can work iutopg distance as we'll
as it does over short one, there can be
no question but that the necessary capi-
tai to build and perfect this system all
over the country. viii be forthcoming.

kedfncn Enterprise.
The fact that Omaha turned out only about
1900 voters on the occasion OF an important
special election concerning the expenditure
of large amount of public money is not at
all credtable to the people Of that great city.
1t would not be difficult for small contin-
tingent Of buns and heelers to control cleo
tions in the interest OF rank corruption IL
this is fair sample of the spirit OF Omaha
people. Tho bad men can always be depend
ed to look after their interests whether the
good citizens turn out or stay at homo.

ARKANSAS Democrat.
Governor Eagle never uttered words
fraught with more truth than when he told
the people of Forrest City that they would
do well to invite back by public resolutions
any persons that had been asked to leave
that this is free country, and if any man
has violated the law the proper course was
to bring him before the courts and punish
him according to law.

school board, who have no politics at all!
This non-partisan business is all rot
Proceed in the usual way and get the very
best men possible, and good school board
will neutrality-suspicious..
What is the usual way? A dozen
ward bummers hold a caucus around a
beer table. They agree upon delegate
ticket and proceed in the usual way"
to elect it. by drumming up the
scum of the town to carry the
primary. Then the convention meets
and the delegates picked at the
caucus proceed in the usual way'' to
name the man that will do them the
most good when he gets into the school
board. Then combine is entered into
by which the delegation is to throw its
solid vote to the man picked Gin the
usual way" by the delegates from other
wards who are willing to join and nomi-
nate their man. Then the convention
proceeds in the usual way" to ballot for
the best men possible-that is, the men
who can command majority of the ward
strikers and heelers. And the output
of this political pot is set of pothouse
politicians, who are bound in advance
by political obligation to convert the
patronage of the public schools into
party plunder.
proceeding in the usual way" the
ticket as whole is commended by par
tisan organs and the undivided support
for each and every candidate on the
yellow-dog ticket is made matter of
honor and principle. The party lash is
swung and voters are whipped into line,
in the name of their respective parties,
regardless of the fitness of the candi-
dates.
The proof of the pudding is in the
eating. Ii proceeding in the usual way
will give us the best men, then why not
re-elect every member of the board
whose time is up? They were all the
product OF the usual way" But even
the Republican contends that there
must be change.
Now, THE BEE does not pretend that
a non-partisan school board must be
made up of men who have. no political
convictions. Judge Wakely is AS much
a democrat as DR.. Miller; but he was
voted for and elected by republicans on
q non-partisan ticket. Judge Croft is
as good republican now as he ever
was, but as he owes his election to the
district bench to no party caucus or
convention he remains entirely free
from party bondage and can exercise
his judicial functions without restr amt
This is precisely the position which
members OF the school board should
occupy. They should be free to exer-
else their honest convictions and ignore
politics and political bosses In the man
agement OF the public schools. This
does not mean that they must forswear
their party allegiance or discard their
political principles.
1t is all very we'll to talk about pro-
cccding in the usual way" but so long
as our party machinery is contaminated
by barnacles and professional caucus
packers We must abandon the usual
way and seek to elevate the standard of
our school management by non -partisan
selections,
