Nebraska judges appear to be getting
after the newspaper editors, in that
state, Not long ago Editor Rosewater
of the Omaha Bee was up for contempt
If court, and then the local Judge who
punished him therefore was held for
contempt of the state leupreme court.
Now the publisher of the Ohama World
Herald is cited by Judge Keyser of that
city to show cause why he should not
be punished for contempt. The Judge
for some reason had enjoined the World
Herald from referring to or publishing q
resolution of the local liquor license
board relating to the advertisement of
license petitions, and also eDjoined the
paper from soliciting such advertise
ments. G Id srt M. Hitchcock. the pub

liberty of the press. / believe it to be

shall resist it by all lawful means in nv
power, and lofty you that the World
Herald is one institution of the country
which will not be run by Injunction. In
order, therefore, to put this matter to
the test, l hereby publish, as I have 8
right to do, the resolution of the license
board. 1 propose to have advertising
solicited for the World-Herald in the
future as it has been in the past. If you
can enioin me from transactipg my
business, as you now attempt to do, then
no business enterprise is safe from judi
cial tyranny.

per cent more of the money actually due
the creditors was paid them through
Mark Twain's personal representative in
New York, who, in speaking of the pay
ment said: "He has, considering that he
is Go years old, done something that
consider remarkable, and am confident
that he will in the end keep his promise
and settle dollar for dollar, every claim
against the old firm. He would have
been wealthy man if he had kept cut
Of business ventures and confined him
self to literary work. He told his cred
itors he would settle everything inside
OF four years, and [ am confident that
he will do this" Mr. Colby, in spes king
of the settlement, said: 81 have moth
ing further to do with Mark Twain's
affairs, as my duties were ended and
was discharged as assignee when the
sum realized from the property in my
hands was paid to the creditors. [ do,
however, believe that he should be COM
mended for what he has done, as it
shows as bright example of honesty
among men"

There have been various rumors afioat
regarding the sale of the stock of the
New York Betting & Packing Co., but
the sale so much discussed was only an
auction sale of hypothecated securieties
la which some of the common stock of
the company here was involved. The
New York Tribune printed a correct
statement of the transaction as follows
''Charles E. Flint said yesterday that il
was not true that Joseph Bannlgan had
returned to the United States Rubber
Co. Neither was it true that the United
States Rubber Co. had made deal with
the Boston Shoe and Rubber Co., involv-
ing trade relations. Regarding the New
York Betting and Packing Co, Mr. Flint
said that at recent auction sale lot of
collateral, including New York Betting
& Packing stock, was purchased at
1915 900 for the account OF a syndicate
composed of August Belmont 6 Co, S
P. Colt & Co., I. F. Chapman & Co., s.
K. McKlerens and G. r. Flint. The di
rectors OF the New York Betting & Pack
ing Co, represent practically the same
interests. The purchase was } OF
made in the interests of the United
States Rubber Co., and that company
will not share in the purchase in any
way or change the form OF it's mauufae-
lures"

Mark Twain has paid nearly rs per
cent of the great Indebtedness of the
late publishing firm of Charles L. Web
ster g. Co., in which he was interested.
and which failed in 1894. He took the
anne view of his responsibilities in the
ma tier that George William Curtis did
on similar occasion, and which is quite
other than that which prevails in bust
ness circles, after having discharged his
legal obligations, he still held himself
bound by moral obligations to pay every
cent of the claims against the firm, and
it is this heroic task upon which he has
been engaged ever since. The facts are
thus given in the New York Tribune !:
Bainbridge Colby, of No 12O Broadway,
was appointed assignee of the firm, and
liabilities out of the assets of the firm
and the personal estate of Mark Twain
that was turned over to him. The as
sets of the firm consisted largely of un-
bound books, among them thousands of
"Memoirs of Gen Grant," which were
/ bound and placed on the market by the
assignee. Mark Twain had offered to
settle with all creditors for 80 cents On a
dollar, and this offer was accepted by
all save two or three. His purpose to
settle the claims in full seemed impos-
sible to fulfi!ment. He did, however,
within the last year, make up the pay
ments to the creditors to the amounts
they had signed to release all future
claims, and then he announced that he
would continue paying them until Re
had settle every dollar of his obligations.
he has kept his word, and this week 25

TO IMPROVE THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

new movement has been started In
behalf of more equal school advantages
in New England, which Is referred tc
more at length in another column. The
chief aim of the organization is to bring
to every youth what in New England il
his birthright, adequate and equal
training. In this aim every New Eng
lander will sympathize.
1t seems that marked differences exist
among the larger cities, which increase
in smaller cities, towns and country dis
tricts. In some sections schools are in
bad shape as to buildings, sanitary state,
teaching and public interest. All this
should be changed for the better.
To adjust in an equitable way existing
inequalities in the scope and quality OF
public instruction lie problem worthy
of study. 1t ranks among the gravest
Of the questions conf oating every free
people. The welfare of the youI g is
involved in it, and one of the highest
tests of civilization is the right treat.
ment Of the child. New England's pro.
found interest in education will incline
its people to give due consideration to
this important matter. 1t has teaching
or pedagogic side, and economic, legis.
latlYe and social aspects that command
attention. The increase Of transporta.
ton facilities, in which New England
leads the world, makes the element Of
locality easy to handle. 1t is no uncom.
N on thir g for youth to 60 from five
to twenty miles to school each day. Ar
equal education tax-rate is worth think.
ing about, and other features admit OF
possible solution. The first great re.
quisite is a strong interest in the right
training OF New England youth, and
that already exists.
The high place held by New England
is one result of its devotion to educa-
ton. There has always been centres
where the best advantages have beer
furnished. Ii is doubtless true that in
other localities from various reasons
school benefits have been too meagre
To even up educational condit ons anc
to broaden the type of teaching in the
New England States, which naturally
and historically are grouped together
should Interest every body, the youth
and parent, the citizen and philanthrop
list. The league sets out to work in SAT-
and scientific lines. To college and uni
versity have had the right of way OIL
the educational track for some time
Now let the common schools where tn
great body of the people get their train
ing, take their turn. How to maintain
improve and extend them may wei
have the best thought of free people
The end proposed commends itself tt
the people of New England and tt
friends of education everywhere.
The foregoing is the substance of al
article which appeared in the BostoI
Transcript, and which we cordially ell
dorse. We hope the movement may
accomplish all it has set out to.
