account of tho factthat the bishop is an
old man, and that old men are apt to
live largely in the past. Perhaps it
was unnecessary on such an occasion
for Bishop Potter TO say what he did,
yet 1t was in the main true, If in some
respects little overdrawn, and doubt
less no harm can come OF being re-
minded that there is n great deal OF cor
ruption in our political and social life,
the removal of which would increase
the security Of our Institutions. We do
not believe that the "old times" were
free from corruption. We know that
the political leaders of that period were
charged with being corrupt. But 1t is
certain that corrupt methods invade
almost every relation of life at present,
particularly that which is political, and
there is demand for reform in this
respect which cannot be too often or too
loudly urged. Bishop Potter struck
discordant key, but he awoke reflec-
tions that may bear good fruit.

What is she thinking, the precious pet,
AS she sits there, holding, 'twixt punk palms

Is it the flush of Joys red dawning
That runs round the little maids rosebud

Is it the shadow of sorrow that turks there
In the curve Of the mouth that downward

The light in her eyes that dims and darkens,
That glooms till the violet grows 10 gray ;
The glance half glad, and yet full of wonder,

Since time began Of woman's taxing
And givingt OF love and grief and rcgreti

STILL FORGING AHEAD.

Omaha is still forging ahead. The
present building season promises TO sur
pass that of last year, and will beyond a
doubt equal that Of any other city west
of the great lakes.
The figures we present elsewhere OF
buildings under way and projected, and
Of public improvements about to COM
mence, aggregate over eight millions in
value.
The substantial growth OF Omaha is
nowhere more manifest than in the
suburbs, where hundreds of cottages and
scores Of elegant residences are
being erected, not for rent, but
for occupancy by the owners.
While the superb business and
Office blocks which will be COM
pleted this season cannot be surp assed
either in this city or elsewhere; the
factories and industrial concerns that
are about to begin active operations
show the remarkable vitality of Omaha
and unbounded confidence in her fu-
ture.
And yet this is not what could be
called "boom" season. There is no
disposition toward reckless speculation
and no wildcat schemes of improve
ment. There never was time
when real estate prices were firmer
than they are this spring, although
the sales are chiefly made TO pa rites
who intend to improve the property.
A few salient points with regard to
the building outlook may not be out OF
place. First and foremost comes the
cold fact that the building permits this
year aggregate over S950,000 which is
an excess of a quarter of million over
the total for the same period last year.
These permits never represent more
than two-thirds of the actual cost. 1t
is therefore safe to say that the build
ings now under construction will cost
over a million and quarter.
Omaha architects report plans now
being prepared for buildings projected
by citizens which, at low estimate
will cost over two millions. The public
works by the city, county and board oi
education, together with the improve
| ments and extensions now being made
anu contemplated lOr InlS season DN Une
street railway companies, and the gas
and waterworks companies, will fall
very little short of four millions.
Last, but by no means least, come
the public buildings, depots and via.
ducts, that will be begun this season,
and will necessarily take from two tt
to five years for their completion.
Few American cities will make q
better exhibit for 1889.

THE Paris exposition which opens
to-day ontains special exhibit of corn
as one of the features of the American
display. Nebraska has reason to be in
terested in this project. The corn pro-
ducts of the seven surplus states, includ-
ing the different varieties Of corn in the
ear and grain, the various food prepara-
tions, corn fodder, all the several corn
fed meats, glucose, or grape sugar, alco-
hol and the mode of dlstilling corn into
alcohol and whisky are to be carefully
set forth and explained. The result of
this exposition cannot fail to attract
universal attention ia Europe. The
scope of this undertaking is not confined
to the present year and the Paris expo
sition, but is intended TO be the nucleus
of a series of similar Exhibits in the
leading cities of the continent to extend
over several years. Fhe purpose Of
this undertaking issplain. 1t is intend
ed to familiarize the masses of Europe
with corn as food product and thus inS
crease our export in that cereal. ---r,

OUR Canadian neighbors who profess
to be so greatly exasperated over the
action Of this government in closing
the Behring sea against their prowling
seal fishermen will gain nothing by in
dulging in threats. The United States
will not be frightened from the policy
deemed necessary and proper in tho
circumstances by Canadian buster,
from whatever source it may proceed.
The question of the exclusive jurisdic-
tion of this country over Behring
sea, by virtue of treaty made
with Russia when Alaska was
purchased, will doubtless in
due time be determined by an interna-
tional convention, but meanwhile this
government will insist upon its claim to
such jurisdiction, and will maintain IT.,
regardless of Canadian opinion or mem
ace. 1t could not open this sea to Cana
dian fishermen without permitting
those of other countries to enter 1t, and
this would mean the speedy destruction
of the seal fisheries. No such folly Is
likely to occur under the present ad-
ministration.

ONE OF the centennial orators pre-
dicted that before the end Of another
century the English language will be
almost universally the language OF
Civilization. A noteworthy innovation
has taken place in the decision of the
Berlin conference to conduct it's pro-
ceedings in English. French has long
been the language Of European courts,
but it is undoubtedly destined to give
way before the rapid advance of English
speaking peoples who will demand tina,
precedence be given to their language
I'm matters OF diplomacy with which
they are concerned.

Omaha and the Hills.

Rapid CttU Journal
Considering their short stay in the Black
Hills, the Omaha excursionsts h ave acquired
great deal Of knowledge Of this region.
They came TO learn all that might be learned
in their limited time, and they found the
people of the Hills not only willing but
anxi Gus TO show them all there is to see and
to give them all the information possible.
Every member of the party confesses pleased
surprise, All now believe that the press and
the people of the Hills have not exaggerated
the resources of this region either as to
variety or abundance. They will carry back
to their business houses and offices knowl:
edge that here is a region the trade of which
is worth fighting for, and determination
that Omaha shall secure her full share.
Their visit to the Hills must be productive
of good results. 1t cannot be otherwise.

WOMAN'S TRUE PLACE.

Woman's place in nature is the theme
discussed by one of our local contempo-
raries in recent issue. Exception is
taken to the salient point made by Grant
Allen, in the current number of the
Forum, in which he maintains that the
males are the race and have built up
civilization, while the females ''are
merely the sex told off to recruit and
produce" the race. In other words.
that all that is truly woman is repro
ductive-the home, the nursery and the
school room. This terse expression of a
a homely truth is shifted ut disdaiufully,
as if maternity were degradation
when in fact it is the greatest of
woman's functions.
The mother of man has always been
regarded with veueration. When Ma
poleon was once asked by Madame de
Stael, one of the most brilliant women
of the last century, 'Who is the great
est among women?" he answered, "The
woman that brings up the largest
family of children" This was of course
intended as a hit at the childless Mad
anne de Stael, but In fact it expressed
great truth. The woman who
can raise family and educate her sons
and daughters up to adolescence is as
great in her sphere as any man who
conquers nations or navigates the seas.
The ideal woman is not the one who
walks about in masculine attire and in
sists upon unsexing herself, as did the
wife of Macbeth, but the mothers of the
Washingtons, the Lincolns and the
Garfields are among the greatest Of
their sex.
There is a great deal of false theory
and harmful teaching regarding
woman's place in nature which, partic-
ularly in this country, is damaging
both morally and economically. Ma
ternity, the crownlng glory OF woman
hood, has for years been steadily grow
ing in disrepute and disregard. Thou
sands of American homes are not
cheered and frightened by the pres
ence and chatter of children. The In
stinct of motherhood may be naturally
as strong in American women as in
those of other nationalities, but it is re-
duties, cares and responsibilities
which motherhood involves. 1t Is
not very long ago that several
prominent ministers in eastern cities
publicly deplored the decline Of
motherhood among American women,
on account both of the immortality
which it implied and the injurious ply
sical consequences involved. The high
privilege of recruiting the race has
been relegated to the lower strata ol
society. This is largely due to the dis
semination of false ideas regarding the
place and functions of woman. The re-
srlt is vast amount OF domestic un-
happiness which finds vent in the d.
vorce courts. Thousands of homes from
which the strongest and most sacred
bond OF marital relation is absent, ant
our women falling into physical de-
cadence at an earlier age than those OF
almost any other country. Motherhood
is natures law. II is womau's highes,
and holiest function. Whatever inter.
feres with it is wrong, and its conse
| quences cannot but be calamitous II
the race.

A COMPULSORY education bill has
just been passed by the New York as
sembly. The measure is significant in
that it provides severe penalties for
the neglect of parents and guardians to
provide for tile proper education Of
children in their charge. A feature Of
the law which commends itself is that
it provides for officers whose duty it is
to look out for truants. 1t remains to
be seen, however. whether the enforce
ment of school attendance is practical
in this country, especially in rural dis
tricts where the population resides
chiefly on farms.
