SECTARIANISM RIM MAD.

Omaha has always taken great pride
in her public schools. which rank with
those of the acknowledged educational
centers of the country. The excellence
of our public schools has been chiefly due
to the high standing of the men who
have been charged with their supervi-
sion and to the well-paid and competent
corps of public school teachers.
The first Board of Education which
inaugurated the High school course
after the completion of the magnificent
High school building on Capitol square
gave to Omaha Il superintendent OF
schools in the person of Prof. Nightin-
gale, who laid the foundation of the
modern school system which has since
been improved and perfected by line
of eminent educators. Profs. Lane,
James and Fitzpatrick each brought to
his task years of experience, and each
contributed to the full extent of his
ability to the development of our pres
ent public school system. Twelve
months ago Omaha reluctantly parted
with Prof. Fitzpatrick. and esteemed
herself fortunate in securing as his sue
cessor Prof. Marble, n man of national
reputation in educational circles. In
accepting the appointment of superin'
tendent of the Omaha public schools
Prof. Marble acted upon the assurance
that he would have Il permanent posi-
ton so long as his work proved salts
factory. Under these conditions DR..
Marble had n right to expect not only
loyal and cordial cooperation of the
board, but an endorsement by unop-
posed reelection at the expiration of
| the year
This doubtless would have been ac.
corded him had it not been for the
| plotting and star chamber scheming that
| mas made every place in our public
schools subservient to political ambition
and sectarian bigotry. From superin.
tendent to janitor from president OF
the board to stenographer, every person
connected with the schools is expected
to become Il part of the political ma
chine. Prof. Marble Is not politician
| and cannot be used to prostitute his
position to political purposes. For this
| reason and because he does not belong
to the Oath-bound junta of political pot
| rustlers who are trying to build up theiI
political fortunes upon sectarian pro
scription in the public schools, he has
been marked for slaughter.
The true friends of the public schools
should demonstrate against this out
rage. +.

TILE EXpnRT nE rnRN.

The promise of large corn crop
this year gives interest to the matter
of the export of this cereal, which has
not grown in spite of the efforts made
to induce a larger consumption of it
by Europeans. According to the figures
of the bureau of statistics for the year
ending June 80 the decreased export of
corn was about GO per cent, the figures
for 1894 and 1895 being respectively
2oOOO,OO0 and 13OOO,OOO bushels. The
higher price of corn last year in part
explains the falling off in the foreign
demand, but American corn as well
as American wheat now has to meet
increased competition. Then the rela
lively low price of wheat necessarily
had the effect to cut off the demand
for the other cereal. Is there any
reason to expect an Improvement in
the export of corn in the near future?
The probability is that if there is any
improvement it will be slight. 1t is
estimated that the corn crop of the
United States may reach 2,000,OO0,00O
bushels this year, and if it should reach
that amount there will, of course, be Il
material decline in the price, which
would doubtless have the effect to some
what increase exports, but these can.
not be expected to increase very much
so long as the price of wheat remains
low, and there is not wider difference
between the price of corn and wheat
than ut present But it seems likely
that in any event corn producers who
put any faith in the possibilities of n
foreign market will be disappointed.
1t is evident that Europeans cannot
be induced or educated to eat corn and
the foreign market will probably never
take n great deal more than is required
for the feeding of~stock. Even for this
use the demand on the United States
for the last two years has been very
light.
With a crop of 2,OO0,OO0,00 bushels
or even considerably less than that
amount, the corn producers of this
country will find it most profitable to
feed the grain to cattle and hogs, and
of course many of them will do this.
The promise of n large yield of corr.
is highly encouraging, but producers
need not count upon any benefit from
the foreign market for this cereal, be
cause there is nothing to indicate that
there will be any material increase dur
ing the next year in the demand for

The largest corn crop this country has
ever produced was in 1899, when the yield
was 2,112, ,S92 900 bushels. The government
crop report estimates this years yield at
1853, ,00O,0 900. or more than 140, 0,OO0, 900 above
the best record. The estimate of the wheat
crop is 40S 900 900, though we'll informed ex-
perts believe that the harvest will show
30, ,0000 900 bushels more than that amount.
The Modern Miller Of this town estimates
that without regard to supply or prices from
other sources Europe will take 125 900, 900
bushels Of our wheat, which will leave a lit
tie more than 300, 900, 900 bushels for home
consumption. That will be ample to guar
antee from hunger, but not sufficient to put
the price down to the low figure reached last
year. In other words, wheat will command
a fair price between this and the harvest Of
1896.

A campaign without any reliable sound
money candidate would be one of infinite
delight to the politicians, whose opportunities
to make bargains would thus be wonderfully
increased. The danger to republicanism is
that it will be carried away by a feeling OF
oyerconfidence. There was once a candidate
for coroner in this county who was so cock
sure Of party victory that he contemptuously
declared that "a wooden man could win. "
He was showed under by a tremendous ad-
verse majority, and was never heard of again
in political life 1t is quite possible that
an experience Something after this kind may
be duplicated on larger scale.
