Lizzie Evans,

This little woman delighted a great
many theatre gOers at the Grand last
night in her second appearance in ''The
Buckeye" in this city. Her support in
this play is better than in'Fogg's Ferry"
as the company is placed more on their
merits and the sticks are relegated to
the shades of the background.
In the play. which is homelike and yet
possesses sufficient of plot to make it in
tereSting, there are several good songs,
among them Harry Mills topical tips and
dialect recitations and the duet, Just
One More Kiss" by Miss Evans and Mr..
Mills. The dances of the evening before
were also repeated.
Tomorrow night the Grand will be
gaily attired for the reception of that
charming little opera ''Girola, or the
Three Black Nantes, sung by the New
York opera company. This opera will be
reinforced by three more good voices than
before, and is beautifully and richly cos
TUNED. A feature will be the Carmen
cita" dance which this company does
better than it has ever been seen in this
city.

The final departure of Alderman Bolton
from the city, which has been known to
his friends for the past few weeks, has
been brought to the notice of the general
public by the fact that he had somewhat
overdrawn his account at the Maverick
bank
The alderman's business is in the hands
of an assignee, Mr.. Charles l.. Sauer, and
this gentleman is doing all in his power
to straighten out the books of the firm in
order to ascertain the true financial
standing of the house.
The amount of money overdrawn and
otherwise unaccounted for, was spent in
the hopeless task of keeping erect the
business and contributions for political
purposes, it being a well-known fact that
Mr.. Bolton hardly carried with him
enough money to pay his way and pro-
vide for a weeks living. When his friends
last heard from him, the alderman was in
San Francisco.

THE retirement of Mr.. Ed Dickinson
from the operating department of the
Union Pacific will be a surprise to rail
road circles generally and cause of
regret to his host of friends. Mr.. Dick
enson has been identified with the rail
road service for nearly quarter of a
century, and during the more than
twenty years that he has been connected
in various capacities with the Union Pa
cific has made most honorable record
as an able, Industrious and faithful Off
cial. 1t is not known what Mr.. Dicken-
sons intentions are for the future, but it
is hardly possible that his valuable rail-
road knowledge and experienceand his
superior qualifications will be allowed to
remain long without worthy employ
ment.

san Francisco Chronicle.
1t is an absurd proposition in any and every
aspect of the case, for congress to extend the
time and reduce the interest of the Central
Pacific, with the fact staring it in the face
that the Southern Pacific has been built out
of the earnings of the Central, and that the
subsidized road has been stripped for the
benefit of a road upon which the government
has no direct line There has been studied
attempt to impair the value of the security
which the government holds for the Central
Pacific debt, and yet the same Central Pacific
is an applicant for favor which is almost
equivalent to u cancellation Of its indebted
ness.
Congress will do well to let the matter go
over until another session, for in the mean
time the Central Union Pacific roads may
conclude that they are not so poor rs they
now think or assume to think they are, and
may be able to propose a settlement on more
equitable terms. Until the Central Pacific
can make better offer than seventy-five
year extension and reduction of interest
from per cent per annum to it will be just
as well for congress to take no definite action
in the promises,

A recent editorial in the New Orleans
Times-Democrat says that illiteracy in
Louisiana is on the increase, both among
the whites and the blacks; that in 1880
u majority of voters could read and
write and now the majority has changed
to the illiterate side. The state of
Mississippi is in very much the same con-
dition. Why this widespread illiteracy
in the southern states?
To one familiar with that country the
cause is quite apparent and may be found
in the opposition to the free school sys-
tenn. The southern people have always
been opposed to free schools and in favor
of class education. Their system of edu-
cations is peculiar one and extends
throughout all the rural districts.
They have never given up their
system of private schools, so popular
among them before the war, and instead
of school houses erected at public ex-
pense nine-tenths of them are private
property, universally called 'acade-
mics" and are owned by the teachers or
professors" Whatever public school
money there may be is turned over to
these professors, and they instruct the
pupils Of the district till the money runs
out and then continue their schools only
for the classes who feel able and willing
to pay good prices for further instruc-
tion. OF course these academies are
widely separated and very inconvenient
for those whose residences are from
three TO six miles away.
These professors have their territory,
which they regard as their legitimate
property, usually averaging thirty-fve
to fifty square miles, and no public school
house will ever be erected ON that terri
tory so long as they can prevent it.
Public school houses would be ruinous
to the business of these private acade-
mics. These professors" are usually
organized by counties into teachers as
sociations and their influence in keep
ing down appropriations for school
houses and other school purposes is SUI
preme.
This does not apply so much to the
cities Of the south, but in the rural dis
tricts education is a monopoly, a kind OF
teachers trust. Unless the system Is

Tammany's Night School.
KdnSdS City Journal.


Many doubts haye been expressed as to the
''reform" features of New York's new ballot
law. At two previous sessions of the legis-
lature ballot reform bills had been framed
and passed by the republicans, only to be
vetoed by Governor Hill, whose reputation
is not that of a reformer in politics. That
the bill which was passed this year received
the governors approval was an indication
that the restrictions which it imposed upon
the ballot were not such as to seriously incon-
venieuce the fine workers of the democratic
party.
And now Tammany Hall has opened night
school, which is facetiously termed ''ballot
reform kindergarten" to instruct voters how
to cast their ballots under the new law.
Time will show whether or not the law is
really in the interest of clean elections.
Meantime that Tammany night school arouses
suspicion.

High License in Baltimore.

Baltimore has had her first month of high
license and is delighted, though the license
tax is not high, being but $3.50 During the
month, however, there have been fewer az
rests than usual, 1000 saloons have been
forced out Of business, and the revenue has
increased from less than Sl5O00O, under low
license, to more than S460,0O0 of which the
city gets S35O,0O0, whereas it formerly got
nothing. The people are so delighted with
the result that at the next session of the leg
islature they will make a demand for doubling
the license. There is much significance in all
this for prohibitionists, but with their Gus
tomary obtuseness when dealing with stats-
tics of this kind they will fail to see how high
license restricts intemperance.

1t is about year since Chairman
Cooley of the interstate commerce COM
mission addressed some very plain talk
to the railroad managers regarding their
practice of encouraging scalpers. They
were told that the reprehensible and de-
moralizing system must be abandoned,
and intimated that if it were not tho
heavy hand of the commission would
be laid upon those who continued
the practice There was no manager at
that time, so far as we can remember,
who attempted to defend the system, and
there was a sort of tacit understanding
that it would be given up.
Perhaps there was some serious de-
termination to do this, but if so it was
very short lived. The scalpers contin
ued to find business, though for a time
they had to exercise greater
care and ingenuity than be-
fore, but it was not long un-
til the practice was again in full blast,
and since the passenger rate war was in
augurated the scalper has been on the
high tide of prosperity. He has been
an important factor in the fight, enjoy
ing, there is every reason to believe, the
most intimate business relations with
the passenger agents and getting lib
eral share of the revenue from pas
senger traffic. This state of af-
fairs, it appears, has not escaped
the attention of the interstate com
merce commission, and as a result Chair
man Cooley has again taken the scalping
business in hand, it would seem from the
character of his circular letter TO west
ern passenger agents with the determi-
nation to act.
OF course this business is largely car
ried on in violation of the law. A small
part of it may be legitimate, but in all
cases where the railroads deal with
scalpers, paying them a commits
sion for the business they bring
the spirit if not the letter of the law is
violated. Furthermore the system per-
mits of discrimination, and this is freely
practiced under it, Scalpers divide their
commissions with favored buyers. There
are other evils connected with the buSi
ness which fully justify the chairman of
the Interstate commerce commission in
characterizing it as an abom-
ination. There will be some inter-
est to learn the nature of the
responses which the passenger agents
will make to the Questions submitted to
them, though it may safely be antici
pated that they will acknowledge the
scalping business to be public evil,
whether they are able to suggest
for it or not. Having returned
to this subject, and evidently regarding
it as one worthy Of its serious attention,
it is to be hoped the commission will not
stop in its pursuit of the evil until it is
eradicated.

EVERY citizen of Omaha is interested
In making the eleventh census an accur-
ate compendium, not only of the popula-
tion but Of our commercial and indus
trial progress. 1t is of vital Importance
that the enumeration shall be thorough
in every feature and represent the mar
velops growth of the city during the
past ten years. The statistics thus
gathered will be the standard by which
the city's future will be gauged. They
will form the basis of all comparative
population tables and become vital
part OF all reference and statistical
works for the next ten years. There is
no occasion for the boom methods re-
sorted TO in other cities. The progress
of Omaha during the decade will com
pare favorable with that of any city in
the union. But We must have COM
plete count, and TO this end every indi-
vidual should lend hand.
