THE New Year may not bring II boom
to Omaha, but there is every reason to
expect that it will witness a very
marked improvement in every depart
ment of the citys business. Ii the gen

dicted shah be realized, Omaha, with
its excellent showing for last year and
the sound conditions that are known to
underlie its industrial and commercial
business, ought to secure very large
benefits from the improvement.

THE terrible accident resulting in the
loss of life at ST. Joseph, Mo-, the other
evening should be warning to our
city. a street car full of passengers
was run into by II freight car which was
making a flying switch across public
street. The disaster is likely to occur
in Omaha any day. The railroads here
are given altogether too much license
in making up their freight trains and
switching their cars across streets
crowded with people and vehicles at all
times. This Should be rcmedied.
Either viaduct should be built across
the tracks at the Tenth street depot and
at the Marcy street crossing or the
switching of cars be stopped at those
and other streets.

As to an Educational Qu4ification.

Providence journal: The proportion
Of males over twen. .y-one years OF age
who would be disfranchised in the
south even by the least exacting educa-
tional test would be large. In South
Carolina il is estimated to be fully 50
per cent. In the southern states as a
whole it is probably safe to say that it
would amount to at least third. The
problem, therefore, which the southern
people must face is simply whether by
reducing their voting strength they
will submit TO large reduction in their
representation also, or whether they
will abandon their educational test
altogether until educational facilities
down there are better and the proper
tion of illiteracy much less. When the
south fully realizes this fact we may be
sure that the present agitation will
cease as suddenly as it has arisen. And
it is best that it should; for the time has
certainly not yet come when an educa-
tional qualification can be required OF
voters in any portion OF the south with
out obvious and peculiar injustice.

Bustle and confusion reigned at the
dock OF the French Steamship Com

New York. The big ship was expert
encing the usual preliminary torments
in its iron bowels, and roaring in the
usual metallic agony. Tourists who
could not understand French we're pre-
tending to be vastly interested in the
l~eave-taking of people who could
converse in that language. Tour
SITS who had state cabins were drawn
up haughtily apart. looking down in
cold disdain on tourists who occupied

customary orders which no one under

master at the gangway.
The tide Of stay-at-home life poured
down the plank, a child or two drop
ping into the water under the handrail
to lend additional animation to the
scene. The ship began to rumble off
steam as if it had swallowed a bass
drum, and was playing IN it with sledge-
hammers.
At this moment a hack ratified down
the wharf. 1t was an ordinary hack
enough, Of the night-hawk species, and
It's driver was an ordinary driver enough,
of the four-whiskies-an-hour variety.
But when the hack door opened, and
the passenger sprang out and rushed
for the CANS plank with a little satchel
in one hand and a big portmanteau in
the other, a murmur Of admiration rose
from the crowded deck.
"HAv called the hacEmaD sat COW

"Who is it ?' gasped a hundred agi-
tated feminine voices as the model of
elegance charged up the shaking plank.
"Now. them" yelled the ~quartermas-
ter, "step lively"
In a moment more the last passenger
was on the deck of La Bourgogne, and
the gang-plank was apeak. The large

and the snip began to stir.

driver died upon the air, and with a

son referred to was a large, elderly man,
very digniied in manner, who resem-
bled somewhat the picture of the late
Chief Justice Chase. When questioned
as to the nature of the old gentleman's
peculiarities, the first speaker said: "Of
course, l shall not reveal his name, al
though I know it very well. He lives
several hundred miles from here, is a
man of high social position and large
wealth, and among his neighbors and
friends is regarded as a model of pro-
bity and rectitude, and is supposed to be
the embodiment of all the cardinal vir-
tues. And yet the sly old fellow comes

genial sort of a way, he has a big time.

Training Amateurs.
From the Providence Journal.

from Inc frOVlQence journal.
The trainer does not always have an
easy time with his amateurs. Not I'M
frequently there are, among the players,
people who are manageable, either
by the trainer Or by the man in charge
OF the affair. One of these young women
had a brush with an actor last winter,
which shows. at least, that an actor may
have a gift for saying sharp things. The
girl was a very bad actress, and she
owed her place In the play entirely to
her social standing, that element which
does more than any other one thing to
make amateur theatricals poor, and she
was absolutely unreasonable. The actor
who had been employed to train
the company for a performance to be
given in aid of a fashionable charity
suffered long at the hands of the girl,
and at length he made up his mind that
he had borne insults as long as it was at
all worth while, and he determined to
relieve his mind whatever came of it..
He was not forced to wait long for an
opportunity. One afternoon, as the day
of the performance drew near, Miss
Blank was more ~insolent than ever, and
at last she said:
sob, bother the play; I'm going down
town shopping. We can't learn any,
thing here"
ct hardly seems worth while to en-
phaslze the word here in your case.
Miss Blank" the actor responded sharp
ly. And as for bothering the play,
you have done that ever since we began
to rehearse it,"
She turned to him with a look of SUI
preme scOrn
"Sir," she said, st am not an actress,
and | will not be insulted by YOU"
Both OF your statements are true"
he answered with perfect GOODNESS.
"Will you be good enough to try that
scene oyer again ?"
She was evidently not quite able to
follow the subtle meaning of his words,
and she vas completely taken by sur
prise that any one should presume to
rebuke here, and she became on tie in
slant as docile as q kitten.
