THE OMAHA DAILY BEE. MONDAY, APRIL 2O 1891.

the western states are showing far more
liberality than the eastern, and 1t is evil
dent that the great west intends to be a
great and conspicuous part of the show"
1t cites in illustration the fact that while
Now Jersey has appropriated only $20,-
600 and Connecticut proposes but S25, 900,
Colorado has provided for an expendi-
ture of $780, The wealthy states of
New York and Massachusetts, propose to
appropriate 100000 each, while Penn
sylvania is hating over q proposition
to appropriate $500, 900. But the con-
trasting interest in tho exposition
between the west and east does
not fully appear in what has
| already been done for q number of west
ern states expect to increase tn cir ap-
preparations and undoubtedly will do so.
1t is by no means improbable that Cali
fornia will make hers million. Illinois
will appropriate at least half that sum,
while Iowa, Minnesota and Michigan
will provide sums that will not be much
| If any below the highest proposed by an
| eastern state. Our Philadelphia con-
| temporary is correct in concluding that
| the west is determined not to be over
| looked.
It has been apparent from the be-
| ginning that the success of the Colum-
| bian exposition would largely depend
upon the liberality and patriotism of the
west, and this is made to appear more
strongly by tho disproportion in the
| appropriations of the western and eastern
states when the difference in wealth
and developed resources are considered.
| Such states as New York and Pennsyl-
vania can certainly afford to expend in
connection with this great enterprise
| five times as much as Colorado, and it
will be necessary for them to do so in
order to make an equally COM
| plete display of their resources, 1t
will be impossible for New Jersey to
have a respectable representation of her
industries with the sum her legislature
has appropriated, unless her manu-
facturers individually go generously into
| their own pockets. Massachusetts may
make a creditable exhibit with the sum
it is proposed to appropriate, but the
state can afford to do better There is
manifestly lacking in the east that hearty
interest in the exposition which ought to
exist, and the absence of which may be
due to a still lingering feeling of disap-
pointment at the selection of Chicago
instead of an eastern city. 1t is unques-
tionable that there has been a sentiment
in the east that the west, having secured
the exposition, should be left to take care
OF it, and while this does not exist now
there is wanting an earnest concern for
the success of the great enterprise.
1t is gratifying to note that the east is
not unconscious of the liberal and patri-
otic disposition of the west toward the
exposition, and it is to be hoped the ex-
ample will be fruitful of some good re-
suits. A few of the eastern states may
later on see the propriety and policy OF
a more generous representation than
they now propose.

PcnSiOning School Teachers.
HNrpeI's IEeehlu.

H1TpeT'S WeehTU.
That teachers are now generally well paid,
especially the women, who are the larger
part, cannot be truthfully said. They must
maintain certain standard of living, and to
do this and save enough for decent support
when they retire is impossible The result
is that teaching is very generally regarded
as temporary makeshift, not as a profess
sion. In the public school, teaching is an en-
ployment rather than profession. A clever
lawyer or physician constantly enlarges his
practice and his emoluments. How can a
clever public school teacher do that2 Only
by leaving the public school. The move
ment for pensions of teachers will do much
if it leads to more liberal compensation.

cally Guilty" that sad that believed G.
N. Ray was innocent but under a technicality
of the law was obliged to bind the young

believed him innocent; neither did say
believed him guilty, but said had the right
to try and determine the case under the evil
dence given the defendant would have the
benefit of every reasonable doubt in favor of
his innocence, and was that the rule L would
say not guilty. But as l understood the law,
where l only bound over, the rule was differ
ent; that is to say, that If the crime had been
committed and that there was probable cause
that the defendant had committed the same,
then it was my duty to bind him over to the
district court which did under bond of
$500, instead of $50 as quoted by the YORK
Republican. A. G.. MONTGOMERY,

Major Benham, inspector of small arms
practice of the department Of the Platte, re-
turned Saturday evening from Bellevue
where he had a conference with Mr.. w. +.
Martin and others, who claimed that their
consent had never been obtained by the gov-
ernment to use certain lots located in the
tract of land used as a rifle range. Mr.. Mar
tin owns three lots. One is right in the CEN
ter in the range, another Is near the officers
butts.
He said 1t was not so much the value of
the property that caused him TO complain, as
it was the fact that he has never been recog-
nized as property owner by the govern
menJ Mr.. Martin thought that the govern
ment might recognize the small property
owners who give their lots for a range, Just
as well as those who own large tracts used in

them. This candor II very touching and also
in it, way very admirable. but these self-insti-
tuted apostles Of sincerely have gone further
and have insisted that Ill their neighbors were
bored, too.
This behavior recalls the remark Of the man
who said: "There II nothing In Wagner's mu-
sic, for could not whistle single air after the
opera was over" The man who wanted to
whistle then proceeded to make an unpleasant
exhibition of his mental shortcomings by accus-
ing the Wagnerites OF being fools, or what IL
worse. hypocrites.
The accused made the pertinent rctort that
the man who wants to whistle should eschew
wagncr's opera. Nobody compels him to so;
nobody viii grieve II he stays away.
The man who wants to whistle should also
keep away from sacred musicales. Haydn
Haendel and Gounod have written competitions
which are thoroughly enjoyed by the select few
those who do not make the ease with which q
bit of music can be whistled, the supreme and
only test of its worth.
We suggest that after Lent il over, the man
who wants TO whistle get up for his particular
friends . concert, in whose programme shall be
included "Annie Rooney" "Down Went Ma
ginty," "When You Wink the Other Eye" and
airs from "Erminie." We promise him that II
he seems to enjoy the performance, the lovers of
sacred music who may be present will not
charge him with insincerity and other disagree
able traits. Then, too, he can not only whistle,
but he can beat time on the floor with both feet,
and thus dIspel the last lingering doubt In the
minds of any who might think that at heart he
vas really bored.
