MINNEAPoLIs, Mimi, FEB, l6.--To the Edi-
tor of THE BEE: 1t may sbe of interest to
your readers if you have not already men
toned the fact, to know that the late Hon.
julius l.. Judson the American consul at st.
Paul DeLoandO, on the southwestern coast
of Africa, was from Omaha When ! was
pastor of the First NJ. Il. church in your city
Mr.. Judson joined that church, and was Ii
censed by the quarterly conference of the
First church as local Methodist preacher
and shortly afterwards went with Bishop
Taylor as a missionary to Africa. Bishop
Taylor stationed him at Kabinda and about
six months ago he was made the American
consul and stationed at st. Paul DeLoanda.
Mr.. Judson was born in Georgia, and when
he was about fourteen years old his master
used him for training bloodhounds and for
two years he did nothing but run from the
hounds. The master would give him two
hours start and then let the hounds on his
track. He showed me the scars on his limbs
where the hounds had torn the flesh when
he was caught by them.
When the war was over he went 10 the
college for colOred people at Washington, ID:
c., and graduated He could read Latin and
Greek with facility and made good speech.

thought some of your readers might be in

THE action of the house in indefi-
nitely postponing Donman's bill pro-
viding for the state publication of school
books was wise. The author of this
measure doubtless meant well, but the
policy he would inauguratc is not a
good one. 1t would not only prove to be
very expensive, and open the way to
large steals, but in all proba-
bility the schools would get a
very poor quality of text books.
This has been the experience Of
California, and there is no reason to
suppose it would not be repeated in Ne
braska. 1t is possible to regulate the
purchase OF school books, the import
ance Of which is not questioned, so as to
secure protection against designing or
INSCRIPTIONS publishers, without re-
course TO the hazardous expedient Of
placing the publication of such books in
the hands of tho state.

To-day is the one hundred and fifty
seventh anniversary Of the birth Of
George Washington, and national
holiday. The memory of men of middle
life will recall the time when the OBJ
servance of this anniversary was very
general throughout the country by mill
tary parades and other appropriate eX-
ercises. OF late years the recurrence
of the day has attracted somewhat less
attention than formerly, but it is still
widely observed, while the tendency
appears to be to restore it to
the prominence 1T once held
among the national holidays. In
most of the large cities to-day
there will be public demonstration in
honor of the anniversary, and orators
will draw lessons in patriotism from
We are nearing the end of the repub-
lies first century under constitutional
government, and as the mind is drawn
to reflection upon the history OF the ma
tion's beginning, and the events that
preceded it, the name that stands first
among ali the illustrious and immortal
names of that epoch is that of George
Washington. Among all the sterling
patriots OF that time, in war and in
peace, history and the unpreju-
diced opinion of mankind have
accorded to Washington the most
exalted position. If not the
greatest of soldiers, ho yet won vic
tories outweighing in Importance the
grandest triumphs of the mightiest cap
tains of the world, If not the first of
statesmen, he stilL possessed a wisdom
to which statesmen bowed, if not the
most brilliant of leaders, yet men fol-
lowed him with affection and confidence.
We are wont to think of Washington
as the unsullied and incorruptible
patriot, and it is really in this that his
character presents the strongest claim
to the admiration and honor of Ameri-
cans. In whatever other respect men
may agree that he was excellcd by some
of his contemporaries or by others pre-
eminent in the history Of human
achievement, in the quality OF patriot
ism he has had no superior. Has he ever
had an equall Here, at least, compar-
ison must end. Thus the great example
which Washington left to his country
men was that OF the highest and most
devoted patriotism, and it is this quail
ity of his character that should have
chief consideration to-day. And it
ought to receive attention from every
citizen as source of inspiration and
strength to his love OF country. The
durability OF our institutions and
their value to mankind will In no
small degree depend upon the ex-
tent to which we emulate the OK
ample OF Washington, and danger
TO our liberty will come whenever we
begin to neglect or ignore his precepts.
But the time, it may be believed, is yet
far or, if it shall ever come, when the

If Mr.. Hers statement that he paid the
Omaha BEE four thousand dollars for five
articles in that paper turns out to be correct,
it will shake the faith that the people now
have in that great reform journal of Ne.
braska-kcdrncy Hub.
Mr.. Ilor has denied that he ever made
such statement, and TIE BEE makes
the unqualified assertion that no person
or corporation ever paid one cent to
this paper for any editorials or reports
touching any topic of public concern.
THE BEE has space to sell in its adver-
tising columns, but its editorial comment
is beyond the reach of the purse of any
man or corporation. Its reports about
prohibition in Iowa were gathered and
written by men regularly employed on
its staff and their salaries and travelling
expenses were paid just as we pay for
regular reportorial work. Aud the TIE
BEE has ample means to pay its en-
ployes without drawing upon the liquor
dealers fund.

p1TRTOTTSu IN THE SCHOOLS.

The quite general recognition of
Washington's birthday in the schools of
the city by appropriate exercises, and
the decoration of the school rooms with
the national flag is to be commended.
No proper opportunity to instil patri-
otism in the minds of the youth Of the
country should be lost, and there is no
better medium for imparting such in
struction than the public schools.
In the minds of thousands of children
these exercises commemorative of the
birth of Washington have awakened an
interest in the story of the Father of
his County which will be permanent,
and which will lead many of them to
an investigation that will have its in
fluence in making them better citizens.
Its tendency is to attract the attention
of the young toward the history OF
the country, and all people of intelli
gence will see the obvious wisdom and
Importance of doing this. 1t has been
a fault or defect in our public school IN
struction generally that too little at
tention has been paid to teaching the
history of the United States, and still
less to infusing the spirit of
true patriotism in the pupils of
the schools. Within year Or two,
however, reform in this respect has
been inaugurated, more particularly in
the schools of the east, and it has been
received with great favor both by
parents and pupils. The west, ever
ready to march in the column of
progress, is taking up the idea, and it
is gratifying to find Omaha in the front
rank. There could be no better lesson
with which to begin the instruction of
American youth in'patriotism than the
story of the career Of George Washing
ton, the foremost patriot, not only
of America, but of the world-'tirst
in war, first in peace, and first in the
hearts of his cOuntrymen. The simple
and appropriate exercises held in the
schools Of Omaha in commemoration of
the birth Of this great man cannot fail
to be productive of most beneficent re-
suits. 1t is a departure which merits
hearty encouragement.

The schooIboy and the Flower.


A schoolboy passed by a meadow once,
A meadow with streams and flowers,
And the look in his eyes was a far-otf look.
book
Indices of budding powers.
The schoolboy halted beside the mead.
And reflected long did he,
With his far-aWay eyes on pansy blow,
With his wonderful book on the sward be-
low,
With his mind adrft at sea.
Then he lnelt and piuc1ed the blossom fair
And held 1t long to his heart;
"Ill look for the lifc," was his curious cry,
'E'or surely can find the life if ! try"
And he plucked the flower away.
Not in the calyx the life was found,
Nor yet in petals of gold,
And he pucfed and plucked in futile essay
Till the poor little pansy was pucked away
With its secret all untold
The schoolboy stood III the fragrant mead,
The pansy stem in his hand,
And wondering look came over his face
AS he looked at the pansy, devoid of grace,
Then he said "l understand.
"The secrets of life pansy's are
Ere the life itself has fled;
But who that seeks peace would go out into
strifei
And who that would garner the secrets of
life
Would CLEAN among fields of dead'"

TIE Interstate commission has just
conc luded its labors in investigating
the charges brought by New York and
and Philadelphia grain men to the
effect that the railroads were discrimi-
mating in favor of Baltimore in the
corn trade. The commission found,
however, that Baltimore got the lions
share of the corn export trade for the
reason that its geographical location,
combined with the energy and enter
prise of its merchants, made 1t the best
and cheapest port for corn shipment on
the Atlantic seaboard. 1t now remains

SOME interesting facts developed at
the recent convention of the national
elc ctric light association at Chicago.
The committee appointed to collect
statistics on the underground system
reported it had come to the conclusion
from the weight of testimony that the
placing of wires underground had
proved failure. The city electrician
of Chicago, supported by the testimony
of represen tatives from Philadelphia,
took exception to this report. 1t was
shown that the conduit system in Chi
cago, Philadelphia, New York and
other cities, had long been in use and
had proven eminently satisfactory. In
Chicago electric light wires had been
put under ground for the last. SIX years,
and telegraph wires for the last thir-
teen years. 1t would seem, therefore,
that the committees report was biased
and untrustworthy, and the convention
was justified in refusing to adopt it.
The electric light people evidently are
convinced that the conduit system is
the only practical one, and it reflects to
their credit that they refused to be i'm
posed upon by adopting report drawn
in tho interest of the overhead wire
monopolies.
