THE easy and inglorious defeat of
the proposed bill to amend the char
ter of Columbia, is nothing more
than should have been expected.
And it shows how culpable chris.
tian people are, when they preach
good morals and talk temperance,
and yet allow such measures as
this to pass by default. We con-
graduate the good people of Column
bia that their moral sensibilities are
so awake to their own interests.
The readiness with which the Re-
formers accepted the gage of battle,
shows that they sleep with their
armor on, and the precision and
promptness and strength with
which they delivered a clean knock
out blow the first round, shows what
an irresistible power for good they
are in this community. They can
win just as easily in the municipal
election next November. They
have the strength, the influence and
the right all on their side, and to
achieve another sweeping victory
all they have to do is to get out and
do it. And :hcy Will.

WE wish to congratulate the
County Court for its action last
Tuesday in sitting down very hard
upon that little job which the rail
road was trying to work upon the
county. The railroad company was
seeking to increase its yard limits al
Mt. Pleasant at the expense of the
county, and though the road com.
missioners of the 18th and 18th dis.
tricts, had condemned land under
the guise of public road. But the
parties interested appealed to the
County Court and the scheme was
very properly nipped in the bud
The County Fathers said that the
commissioners had no right to con.
denim land for railroad purposes.

Tuesday, in the case of the Rail

Board of Transportation. Mr.. Bry-

The case on hearing involved the
constitutionallty of an Act of Ne,
braska Ito regulate railroads, to
classify freights, to fix reasonable
maximum rates to be charged fol-
the transportation of freights, ETC."
Mr.. Bryan made a profound argu.

as those of railroads to reasonable
profits"

THE elections held in various cities
in Ohio last Monday resulted in
large Democratic gains. At Cincin-
natl the Democratic ticket won by
a plurality of 1920, while the city
gave Mckinley plurality of almost
10000 last November, and Caldwell,
Republican, for Mayor, three years
ago, a plurality of 6,755. At Detroit,
Mich, the Democratic nominee for
Mayor won by about 1000 majority,
and at Canton, Ohio, Major Rice,
Democrat, was reelected by nearly
500 majority. But from Chicago
comes the most cheering news.
Carter Harrison, free silver Demo-
crat, was elected Mayor by $1,000
majority and upward, Democratic
gain of 10000. Returns from numer-
Gus other cities show that the Re-
publicans are already losing their
foothold, and the free silver senti-
ment shows stronger than it did last
November.

AMENDED H1TcHMa ORDINANCE
It Will Be Hard to Secure Convictions
Under It

The first arrest under the new amend
ed hitching ordinance, made yesterday
morning, was productive Of squabble
in Justice Owens court. ]. H. Keifer, a
laundryman, tied his horse on Spring
street near First and was arrested by
Officer Richards for over-staying thu
limit. In court Keifer swore positively
that he had kept close watch on the
time and that he had been gone exactly
nineteen minutes. The policeman de-
clared that the horse had been tied up
over twenty minutes.
The case was dismissed by Justice
Owens. who took occasion to remark
that he saw very little opportunity ever
to secure a conviction under the amend
ed ordinance. He said that people would
disagree as to the length of time, and the
policemen could not be expected to carry
stop-watches to keep the time on people
or to rgulate their timepieces three or
four times a day so as to be exact as
to seconds.

The article by F. r. Morrison of San
Bernardino, in the Educational Review
for last month. gives some of the re-
verse views of our present national edu-
cation. Among other things, he says:
"One great fault OF our primary curric-
ulum Is that 1t occupies an excessive
time. Eight years have been taken up in
teaching the child what could be equally
well taught In seven or even six years.
Judged by results-which are the
only possible criterion-our much -laud-
ed public school system scarcely justifles
itself. 1t Is an educational system
which fails to educate. oCompar-
ing the statistics of this country with
those Of that foreign state to which we
are most akin, we find that In Great Brit
ain the average of illiteracy Is about
89-100 per cent Of the population, or, say,
nine in 1000. In our own country (fig-
ures Of 1SS0) the average Of the whole
country Is II per cent or 10 in 100O''

The important and unexpected announce
ment comes from Vienna that Goldmarls
has composed new opera at Gmunden.
He had the libretto five years ago. but put
1t aside for a time in order to complete his
Cricket on the Hearth" The name Of
the new opera is "Die Kriegsgefangene"
(The Captive Crib, the heroine being tho
Princess Briseis. Achilles favorite slave.
Goldmark is now putting the last polish
on the score, and 1t is expected that the
opera will be produced in Vienna next
spring.
The Musical Courier says: zone Of the
first requisites in Vienna for the success
of an opera singer is liasion with some
count or baron or prince. and then 1t Is aa-
sured. An opera house is Turkey en- minia-
ture: and It is a we'll known fact that no
young girl can mako her way on the op-
cratic or theatrical stage and carry out
her natural wishes to be an honest, respect-
able girl. without mourning the hostility
and intrigue Of those whom she rejects, and
her final dismissal from the opera mousse
where she is engaged, as well as the prob
able failure Of her career at the very OUT
set. Thus is art, which is divine In itself,

anecdote be not strictly true that is pass
ing along the chain of English journals.
1t sounds as a probable story, and It Is
funny. 1t states that after the printing
Of the score Of his "Rienxi," Wagner sent
q copy Of the libretto to O1enbach and
asked his candid opinion Of It, verse and
music. Offebach had read some Of Wag-
ner's previous poems, and had made fun
Of them-a fact known to Wagner. After
some three weeks the score Of "Rienzi'
was returned to Its composer with slip
on which was written: Dear Wagner
Your music is rubbish stick to poetry"
Wagner was much offended. By-and-by
he published his offensive pamphlet ON
"Jewry in Music (Das Judenthum In Mu-
sik), with its bitter references. Mindful
of Offenbach's Jewish birth, he sent Offen-
bach a copy. Offenbach sent back this en-
closure also; and when Wagner opened It,
10! another scrap Of paper, on which was
scribbed. Dear Wagner-Your pamphlet
is rubbish; stick to music" Like Rossini,

emergency, and a book of his witticisms
would be pretty reading.-Harper's Bazaar
