FASHIONABLE NUISANCE.

1t may be very agreeable to dudes and
dudines who ride on top of stage coach
to blow tin horns in a most ear-rasping
fashion but people of ordinary powers of
endurance find this perpetual footing TO
be great nuisance.
Some of these fashionable fools may
imagine that their abominaple horn
blowing recalls the oldtime post chaise
and duplicates the English coaching
party and four-in-hand. 1t is nothing
of tho sort If any of our staging
parties were to appear in any part OF
England and carry on the way they do
in Omaha they would be driven off the
roadway The old post coach had n
bugle whose calls were like the hunters
bugle note-not like charivuri
racket
The four-in-hand coaches that carry
fashionable people between London and
its suburbs have liveried footmen
whose bugling is as sonorous and musi-
cal as that of a cavalry bugler. There
is as much difference between such
bugling and the horrible am mlteur tin
horn as there is between the ringing Of
church chimes anG the ding dong of cow
bells
The tin horn idiocy ought to be abated
as nuisance.

Omaha.
CHICAGO, Ill. Aug. l2.-l Special Telegram
to The BEE. Mrs. Catherine Seeley is
dodgiEg warrants charging her with disor-
derly conduct. The warrants are issued at the
instigation of the Waldo y. Miller Furniture
company in an effort to dispossess her of tho
promises and property comprising fashion
able Prairie avenue boarding house.
Mrs. Seeley has appeared before tho pub
lie before and her repertoire Is extensive.
She is the divorced wife of William Seeley,
the Kansas City buyer for Swift IL Co. She
created sensation by attempting TO force
her way into society. Extending invitations
to the best families, she gave gorgeous enter
tanments, but was snubbed right and left
and finally gave up. Then came the divorce,
which was truly sensational. Mrs. Seeley
was glib talker, and added to her accom-
plishments in soliciting for charitable OBJ
iects and purposes. Coming to Chicago. she
Immediately stepped into the front ranks of
charity, and was soon securing funds for
several charitable institutions But this
money did not arrive at its destination, and
Mrs. Seeley was arrested for obtaining money
under false pretenses and sending children
in the street to beg.
Squirmlng out of this trouble, Mrs. Seeley
took in Omaha last fall. She ingratiated
herself in the confidence of several charitable
ladies OF Omaha, and not until too late was
she exposed. Nothing daunted, she went to
st. Louis, then back to Chicago, where she
secured possession Of finely furnished
house, and refuses to give 1t up.

THE RURlL SCHOOLS.

The Douglas County Teachers insti-
tute is now in session and Institutes are
also being held in other counties OF this
STATE. 1t is IL matter of pride to the cltl-
zens OF Nebraska that this compare
lively young common wealth is making
rapid advancement in education and that
its percentage of iiliteracy is smaller
than that of any other state in the union;
but there Is yet much to be done in the
direction of Improvement, particularly
in the rural districts. Rural schools
everywhere labor under disadvantages
resulting from various familiar causes,
chief of which is the lack OF sufficient
funds for the erection aud equipment OF
good school buildings and the payment
of adequate salaries to teachers. The
obstacles in the path of educational pro-
gress in agricultural communities Will
be gradually overcome as the wealth OF
the people increases and their apprecl-
tion of the needs of their children be-
comes more clear 1t has often been
said that the farmers boy, If given an
equal chance, will infallibly outstrip his
CITY cousin in che attainment of llfe's
prizes and honors; but whether this is
true or not he is the equal OF the city
boy at every point, and therefore it is
the greater pity that his school advap-
tages are often SO illsuited to his needs.
The improvement Of the country
schools depends to some extent upon the
efforts of teachers in that direction, and
they can hardly find more fruitful
topic for discussion, or one that more
closely concerns the general public well
fare We have said that the rural
schools will be improved as the ability
and willingness of the people to support
them increase; but the influences which
the teachers may bring to bear by stim-
ulating the popular appreciation of the
needs which they are so we'll able to
point out will not be wasted, and per-
haps they may bear fruit sooner than
they now dare to hope. The future OF
Nebraska depends in ono small degree
upon the educational advantages af-
forde4t to her rural sons and daughters

OTHER LANDS THAN OURS.

The debate on the queens speech showed
that both the Parnellite and anti-Parnellite
members Of the House of Commons expected
and demanded that home rule should not be
subordnated or postponed to any other issue
whatsoever. In this we are bound to say
that they were right The campaign was
fought on the issue of home rule, and, though
the result of 1T may not be described as q
''blank check' to Mr. Gladstone's order IL
was vote of confidence that he could pro-
duce a satisfactory bill If he cannot pro-
duce bill that will satisfy his
supporters, then home rule, for the
present, is defeated and MIR. Gladstone ought
not to be in office. very favorable
sign for him is the agreement of ths Welsh
members that home rule should be put first
in the parliamentary program, provided
Welsh disestablishment is put second. 1t
must be remembered that the sentiment of
Wales is as Jealous and sound Protes tant-
ism as prevails in any part OF the United
Kingdom A declaration in favor of homo
rule by the Welsh members means an acquies-
ccnce in the spending by Irish "papists"
of their own money upon Catholic institu-
tions, as we'll as an aversion to the spending
of the money Of Welsh Protestants on Angli-
can institutions Disestablishment in Wales
stands, in fact upon the same footing with
home rule in Ireland. A like degree of toler-
unce on the part Of English and Scotch
Protestants will secure the passage OF a homo
rule bill.

1t will be curious freak Of fate indeed IL
Chancellor CapriyLi who supplanted Bis
marck in the confluence of the German en-
peror, were TO meet precisely the same fate
which befell his predecessor and were to find
himself ousted in u day from all his power;
and yet it is quite possible that the near
future may have I'm store for history Just
such an outcome, Certainly signs are
not wanting to show that the fickle young
kaiser may soon blow cold whore he has

some other suppliapt for royal confidence
When the present emperor OF Germany
came TO his throne 1t was generally OK
pected that Bismarck would be stronger
than ever IL was TO tbe willy old chancel-
lor's influence that the almost open quarrel
between the ill-fated Frederick ana his son
was attributed. and when the short-liyed en-
peror died it was thought that young Will
helm should be merely puppst in the hands
OF the iron willed' old diplomat. Yet but u
few months had passed before Bismarck's
downfall startled Europe, aud Caprivi came
TO power. II may still be questioned
whether the German emperor won or lost in
prestige and influence outside of his own
realm by his treatment Of the old chancellor,
but II he were TO remove Caprivi in turn his
reputation as wise ruler would probably
suffer.

ability to any in the world, and with
proper encouragement there can be no
doubt that American shipbuilders will
demonstrate that they are as capable Of
constructing swift steamships as the
builders on the Clyde or elsewhere. The
Inman line intends building two or
three steamships that will be larger and
faster than the ships transferred TO the
American flag, and this will give
American builders the chance to show
what they can do. II they are as sue
cessful as they have been in the con-
struction of ships for the navy they will
justify the claim of the Cramps that big
ships can be built in the United States
equal to any in the world.
The development of the shipbuilding
industry of the country in this direction
is very much to be desired, and while it
may be regarded as certain OF attain
ment some time in the future it is obvi-
ously important that the needed encour-
agement shall not be unnecessarily de-
layed. The Fifty-first congress enacted
Legislation designed to promote this de-
velopment, but the results have not
been altogether satisfactory. The step
taken by the present congress appears
likely to be more beneficial. The ship
building interest of the country, taken
as a whole, is now much more extensive
than most people suppose, but 1T may be
very materially enlarged TO the great
advantage of n number OF otner inter-

AMERICAN SHIPBUIL LplNG.

The act of congress authorizin g the
transfer OF the steamships City of Paris
and City of New York from the English
to the American flag, conditional upon
the Inman line, to which they belong,
having two or more steamships built in
the United States, seems likely to have
an important result in demonstrating
that vessels of this kind can be built in
this country equal in every way, If not
superior, to the masterpieces of the
Clyde builders.
The Cramps, the American ship
builders who have shown what they can
do in the construction of war vessels,
express the belief that they can build
ships faster than any OF those which now
cross the ocean. No ships the size of
the City OF Paris or the City of New
York have ever been built on this side
OF the ocean, but the Cramps say this is
no reason why big ships cannot be built
in the United States that will be as fast
or faster than those of any OF the big
lines Tho only advantage that the
foreign builders have is in their ability
TO construct more cheaply, owing TO
the higher price OF labor in this country,
and this of course is very important
consideration, but everything required
in the shipbuilding industry can be sup
piled here, there are designers equal in

TIE strike OF the building trades in
New York cityisended and the strikers,
or as many OF them as can find employ
ment, have rethrped to work. About
$1,000 men were idle for three months
on account of this strike and no less
than 12j buildings, many of them great
ones, were abandoned by the workmen
employed in their construction. There
was no question OF wages or hours OF
labor. The strike was ordered because
one of the architectural iron companies
employed nonunion men, and as usual 1T
was extended to embrace all the unions
having anything to do with building.
The loss Of the strikers is estimated rs
high as 81, 100000, exclusive of the large
benefits paid from the treasures OF some
of the unions. Had.the men been con-
tending for better wages or fewer hours
OF labor their chance OF success would
have been better; and In that case they
would have been told by the free trace
press of the country that the republican
protective policy was to blame.

now 1T WORKs IN GREAT BRITAIN

The World Herald gleefully refers to
s'another strike of tariff-protected work.
ingmen" as follows:
From Louisville, KY, comes the news that
200 men employed at the Avery plow factory
have struck because OF a reduction OF their
wages. This adds another to tho many
strikes which have occurred since tho pas
sage of the Mckinley pill in industries pro-
tected by the tariff taxes which that law
levies upon the people.
1t is the policy of the free trade press
to magnify all differences between work
ingmen and employers in this country
and to ascribe them directly to the Me
Kinley law, leaving their readers to
infer tnat free trade would inaugurate
IL period OF harmony and put an end to
strikes forever.
Let us INQUIRE into the facts. During
the ten years from 1850 to 1899, inclu-
sive, the smallest number of strikes in
this country in any single year was in
1884, when they aggregated 443. involv-
ing l47, ,054 persons, and the greatest
number was in 1856, when there were
l,4ll strikes, involving 400, ,4S9 persons.
Statistics are not at hand showing how
many strikes have occurred in this
country since the Mckinley law went
into effect, but how do the above figures
compare with the strike record of free
trade Great Britain? In that paradise
of free traders 3,l64 strikes occurred in
1889. In 1890, according to the report
OF the British Board OF Trade, the num-
Der of strikes officially reported in that
country was 1,O2S, and in 1888 of these
392,98l persons were involved. This
shows that the number of strikes was
much greater in Great Britain in 1890
than in this country, and according to
Senator Aldrich, whose statements are
not disputed, the number of persons in
volved was more than three times as
great in proportion to the number en-
gagged in useful occupations in the two
countries respectively.
In the recent strike in the English
mining district of Durham 100000 coal
miners went out and remained idle from
March II to June /, when they accepted
reduction of per cent in wages This
strike also involved the shutting down
of 100 blast furnaces in addition to the
suspension of mining operations.
These facts completely disarm the
critics of protection and prove conclu-
sively that tree trade is not thing to
be desired ry the American working
man.
