.puBLIC SCHOOLS IN UTAH.

Among the suggestions contained in
the annual report Of the Utah commits
sion is one advising congress to pass
laws for the establishment and control
OF u public school system for the terri
tory. There is no question about the
constituUionality of such course.
AS outlined by the commission, their
proposed educational scheme contem-
plates free school system, to be main
tanned by the territory itself out of the
public funds of the territorial treasury.
The power of congress to establish free
schools in Utah can not be called
in question. Public schools, as
much as any other agency,
would prove d valuable auxiliary
in the solution of the Mormon question.
At present education in Utah outside of
sectarian schools where Mormon doc
trines are taught, is under the control
of various Protestant denominations
who carry on the work so far as prac-
ticahle, but their scope and influence is
limited. The bishops" ''elders" and
apostles of the Mormon church have
eXerted all their influence to neutralize
their good effects In the case of u
general school system conducted as pro-
posed by the commission, that is to
say, under the control OF federal
authorities, the bad influences of the
Mormon diguitaries could better be
counteracted and made harmless. A
congressional act covering the recon-
mendations of the commission should
by all means be passed, even though it
be viewed entirely in the light OF an
experiment. Some remedial legisla-
tion is necessary, aud no better could
be suggested than that which would
afford the people of Utah the privileges
OF free, non on-sectarian education.

ANU SEM H. NTS.

Thomas w. Keene inaugurated his Omaha
engagement at Boyds opera house last night
with "Richcleu' as the play, and was sup
ported by strong company. A large and
enthusiastic audience not only gave hearty
welcome TO the STAR but greatly enjoyed his
presentation of the character 1t was a
strong, artistic and very interesting per-
formance, each character beng well sus-
tanned from first to last, thus giving promi.
nence to both story and plot as well as dra-
matte coloring and splendid effect
to the easily reached climaXes With
the advance of years, to which may be
coupled rlpening experience, 1t is not difficult
to discern much Improvement in Mr..
Keene's work. Notwithstanding the fact
that for several years he has been recog-
nized as an actor of great conception, rare
talent and artistic work, his superiority
showed itself only in one or two plays, not
ably in Richard Ill, which press and public
pronounced his masterpiece. But he has
broadened his field, proved his capabilities
of encompassing everything in the line OF
tragedy, and next. to Edwin Booth is un-
douutedy the greatest tragedan in this
country to-day That his "Richelieu' will
compare favorablywith the "Richelieun of the
Nestor of the stage will be admitted by
everyone who witnessed last nights per-
formance. Its impression upon the audience
was made manifest in repeated outbursts of
applause and a curtain call at the end of
every act Mr.. keene's comprehension of
tne character, WOnuerlul CnrouSnouU, was
not more intelligently portrayed IN the action
and general expression than in the manner
in which he interprets the lines, giving
proper weight to ever word, correct meaning
to every sentence, and delivering them in
such modulation of voice as to bring out the
points and carry conviction To the mind. As
stated before, the support was all that could
be desired, Mr. George Learock and Miss
Lavinia Shannon Chevalier De Mauprat
and Julie De Mortimer, respectively, deserv-
ing special mention The latter was partlc
ularly clever, and quickly became favorite
with the audience
After the performance tomorrow night
Mr.. Keeue, who is a veteran Elk, will be
rendered a reception by the members OF
Omaha lodge ut their cub rooms.

John G. Watson advises us that the next
time he writes an article he will let US write
it. He pronounces the Calls true and ac-
curate history bungling blunder, written
with dull quill and composed utterly with
out thought. This IS all explained, however,
when it is remembered that Mr.. Watson was
court-martialed for using profanity in his
history. The next time he writes history
he may find some other widely circulated
newspaper in which to publish his rot. The
Call washes its hands of the last miserable
atrocity, and hereby resigns as the official
organ of Governor Thayer and the state mi
litia. The whole thing was a libel, and the
Call is thinking seriously of sueing itself and
incarcerating its editors. There is no use in
monkeving with cold, clammy reason. We
are through with all this kind of business.

enterprise and activity are continually
broadening. Millions of acres of fertile
land will soon be adddd to the cultiva-
BILE area of the new state. This means
large influx of settlers and material
progress. II the unsuccessful towns

LINCOLN, Neb., Oct 3. J
The manifest intention of Senator Suth-
erland, OF Tekamah, TO assist in securing the
enforcement of the order reducing freight
rates on coal occasions considerable favor
able comment. 1t appears to be quite gem
orally understood, however, that the state
board of transportation yielded to the solic-
itations of the roads and granted them re-
hearing, practically annulling the order as it
was first given out But this is not true.
The order was given for schedule reductions
on coal shipments, but its service was ac-
companed with the condition that il must be
complied with by the roads on or before
certain date, or appear before this board and
show a reasonable "why not.n This the
roads neglected to do within the time. In-
stead of obeyiug the order the roads are
openly defying it. " is true, however that
petitions have been received by the board
praying reconsideration, but since the time
stipulated for the order to take effect, and
hence good lawyers say tnat n mandamus
will lie. There are no records In the office
of the state board of transportation which
show that there has been anything like
reconsideration, stories to the contrary not
withstanding. The attorney general will
commence the action as requested by Suth-
erland on his return from the east.

ACCORDING to decision just rendered
by the supreme court of New York, the
owners OF elevators in any building are
common carriers. The suit in which
this decision was rendered was brought
by u passenger who had been injured
by an accident to the elevator, due to q
defect of the piston rod, which, the
owners claimed, no possible care on
their part could discover. The court in
deciding for the plaintiff held that they
occupied the same relation towards the
passengers they carried as do stage or
railroad companies. The fact that the
owners OF such elevators do not exact
charge does not seem to enter the ques-
tion. The decision marks de-
parture from the fundamental principle
that governs the liability of common
carriers. BY the same course of reas-
oning the owner of any building would
be liable for any accident that might
befall people while ascending or de-
scending an ordinary stairway.

NEXT to the hypocrite the demagogue
is the most despicable OF creatures. The
editor of the Double-ender belongs to
that species. When the postot1ice site
was under discussion, and he was laying
the pipes to get eighty thousand dollars
out of Uncle Sam for lots he owns in
Planters house square, he yelped him
self hoarse about selfish schemers, and
howled night and day about the damage
which the city was suffering by the
delay which prevented the Immediate
erection of great business blocks in the
neighborhood Of the Planters house.
Now that Hascall and other candi-
dates for recollection are tossing the city
hall contract back and forth under pre-
tense that they want to help home
labor, this public spirited citizen, who
Is always building great hotels, opera
houses and air-castles, but never builds
anything, is in accord with the mounte-
banks and endorses the move which he
knows will again delay the construction
of the city hall. While Hascall is bid
ding for votes he is bidding for sub
scribers among the working classes,
whose confidence and patronage he has
never been able to get by his hypocriti-
cal pretenses of sympathy.

THE action of the warden of the 81

THE action of the warden of the state
penitentiary in discharging three Wyo-
ming convicts without the consent of
the authorities of the territory, is an
unwarranted proceeding. There was
no justification for the action. The
state agreed when the prisoners were
received to provide for their mainten-
ance at a certain price, and was IN duty
bound to keep them until the authori
ties of Wyoming could provide for them
elsewhere. The law did not authorize
their discharge, because they were not
subject to the laws of Nebraska. Instead
OF turning them over to the territorial
officials the warden assumed the power
to discharge them, even without the
usual papers. and arrogantly ordered
them out OF the state. The action of the
penItentiary officials should be inquired
into by the proper authority.

SEND IN YOrR COMPLAINTS.

Frequent complaints reach TIE BEE
from passengers on trains and from res
idents of towns in this section, that it is
impossible to get copy of THE BEE
from resident news agents and train
newsboys. The claim set up by the lat
ter is: "All sol i" and then other
Omaha papers are offered instead. In
some instances, when the wouid-be pur-
chaser insists on getting copy of THE
BEE, it is forthcoming, but train news
boys deal them out sparingly, and when
their supply is about exhausted it is
their practice to force other Omaha
papers on passengers who would not
buy any other than THE BEE if it could
be had.
THE BEE urges upon everybody the
Importance of making complaint to this
news dealers and newsboys. There is
no reason why full supply should not
be kept for all demands.
All local news agents handling The
BEE are expected to furnish subscribers
the daily, including the Sunday edition,
at twenty cents a week, and all refusals
to do so should be reported to this office.

Boss RULE In Maryland receives a
staggering blow by the desertion OF the
Young Mems democratic club Of Balti-
more. For years the state has been
ruled and hurried to ruin by the Cor
mans and Higginses. Every attempt
to redeem it aud vitalize the character
OF the officeholders was crushed by the
al-powerful party dictators. They
brooked no opposition, refused recog-
milton to the young element OF the
party and contemptuously spurned the
demands for reform. The resolutions
adopted by the sccediug club indicate
the growing distrust which the arro-
CANT party managers has created. They
declare that the voice of the people is
stilled and that the interests Of the
state are subordinate to the selfish
schemes of the ring. They further de-
clare that they will use all legitimate
means to defeat ticket born of fraud
and fathered by avarice. The club is
composed of large number of intluen-
tial young men. In joining forces with
the republicans their example will have
great weight with disatfected demo-
Gratis, and is certain to hasten the
downfall of bossism in Maryland.
