Hiring of Soldiers.


The first open air concert In Hanscom
park this season will be given this
afternoon, the first number being played at
q o'clock. The concert will be given by
the band of the Twenty regiment Of

The following program will be rendered
under the direction of Prof. E. Richards,
leader:

The awarding of the contract to the Fort
Crook band has stirred up quite, little
strife throughout the city. It is said that
several local bands, composed of Omaha mu-
sicians, were passed over and preference
given to the soldier musicians. In order to
compromise matters the privilege Of playing
at the park on Sunday, June 13, was offered
the Seventh Ward band, but the offer, it is
understood, was declined because the local
musicians had at first been ignored.
The strife Is not new one. 1t was, on
last season. The Central Labor union took
up the matter with Congressman Mercer, in
ssting that representatives of the regular
army had no right to compete with men who
earned their living by playing in bands, and
asserting that Omaha was the only city in
the country where the United States bands
We're allowed to accept outside engagements
to the detriment OF other bands. For time
the competition of the infantry band against
the local bands ceased, but IL Is now In cyi-
dence again, and the local musicians say
that they are preparing to take the matter up
with the War department and have the in
fantry band restrained from accepting out
side engagements at lower rates than the
regular bands here
me Elks have engaged the Twenty second
infantry band to accompany them to st.
Paul to the annual convention. The local
musicians state that they firmly believe
they can secure an order from the War de-
partment to prevent this trip, and are now
planning to do so.
An evidence of the hostile feeling between
the local bands and the Fort Crook band
cropped out on Monday last in the Memorial
day procession. The Seventh Ward band,
with the Thurston Rifles, was to lead but
line was given to the infantry and the Fort
Crook band. The two bands were close to
each other, the Fort Crook being in the
lead, but neither band would start to pay
first, the result being that there w6s no
music until the column had left the business
center OF the city and reached Twenty
sixth and Harvey streets. Each band blames
the fault on the other. At any rate there
Is merry war on between the rival bands
and the end Is not yet.

Last Thursday the force of men at work
on the Union Pacific gravel pits on Sherman
Hill, Wyoming, was doubled and another
steam shovel placed In service. Between $50
and 200 carloads of Sherman gravel are now
being turned out daily. About fifty carloads
daily are being used for ballasting the road
bed on the Wyoming division, and nearly all
the rest comes to the Nebraska division. In
addition to using the Sherman gravel for
improving its roadbed and in taking the place
OF wooden platforms about depots, the Union
Pacific Is finding quite a sale for the gravel
for use in parks and along driveways.

Issue Renewal bonds.
The finance committee OF the city council
is securing the date for the new issue OF
renewal bonds. II this Is to be simply
reissue of the bonds that were knocked out
last winter the task would not be diffcult.
But City Attorney CoDnell and other city
officials are said to favor an enlargement OF
the issue sufficient to take up all the out
standing warrants on special funds This
Is advised on the ground that the city is
paying per cent interest on the warrants,
while. II they were taken up and bonds
issued 2 per cent OF this would be saved.
Some OF the councilmen are not entirely
satisfied that this would be safe. as they
might then be eyaded on the ground that
the liability had been assumed w the city

Vacation Schools.

From Vacation Schools in New
York" by W. H. Tolman. in American
Monthly Review of Reviews for August:
These schools minister to the all-round
development Of the children, for the
large playrooms are utilized for calls
themes; the morning half-hour devoted
10 dancing is sure to find light hearts
and feet One summer all the children
were taken, on successive days, under
the care of their science teachers, TO the
ocean homes of the association at West
Coney Island. where the day was spent
in collecting various objects incident to
the seashore. On the return to the city,
this day at the sea furnished inexhaus-
tible material for the classroom An
other year groups Of the children were
taken, under competent guidance, TO
the Museum of Natural History There
is no reason why this side of the work
should not be immensely extended, in
order TO make more ayilable the re-
sources of museum and art gallery, be-
cause we are only beginning to utilize
the social and educational resources of
our cities. There is no reason why the
very school buildings should-not be
used more in the evenings, under prop
err restrictions, because there are many
kinds of meetings and entertainments
for which they would be available.

A Fault of Legislatures.

One of the faults most frequently
found in the legislatures. says Mr..
Godkin in the July Atlantic. is the fault
Of doing too much. I do not think 1
exaggerate in saying that all the bus
Ter states in America. in which most
capital is concentrated, and most in
dustry carried on, witness every meet
ing of the state legislature with anx-
iety and alarm. l have never heard
such a meeting wished for or called for
by serious man outside the political
class. 1t creates undisguised fear Of
some SORT of interference with industry
some sort of legislation for the benefit
of one class, or the trial of some haz-
ardous experiment in judicial or adj
ministrative procedure, or in public ed
ucation or taxation. There is no leg
islature today which is controlled by
scientific methods, or by the opinion
of experts in Jurisprudence Or political
economy. Measures devised by such
men are apt to be passed with exceed
ing difficulty, while the law is rendered
nous number of acts passed on all sorts
of subjects. Nearly every state has
taken a step towards meeting this
danger by combining the meeting of its
legislature TO every second year. 1t
has said, in other words, that it must
have less legislation. In no case that
/ have heard of has the opposition TO
this change come from any class ex-
cept that engaged in the working of
political machinery; that is, in the
or election of candidates
and the filing Of places The rest of
the community, as a rule, halls it with
delight

President Kruger's Illiteracy.

1.-TWO Republics of the Southern
Cross" by Francis Z. Clark, D. D.. in
American Monthly Review OF Reviews
for August: Nor can this modern
South African Colossus write any bet
ter than he can read. To be sure, he
can sign his name TO public documents.
but in somewhat the same way that
Osman the Great, the founder and first
sultan of the Osmanli Turks, used to
sign his name to public documents
by dipping his hand in a saucer of ink
and spreading it out on the paper, thus
literally making his sign manual. Not
that President Kruger has not got be-
yOnd Osman the First. for he can guide
the quill sufficiently to sign his name
to papers of state; but to write one Of
those papers, or even an ordinary let
ter, with his own hand, would be quite
beyond his powers, is the story often
told in Pretoria. And yet, should I
leave the impression with my readers
that ne was simply an ignorant old
Boer, it would be a very false impress
sion. From the scholars standpoint,
possibly he is that, but from tn stand
point of the politician and man of af-
fairs he is one Of the shrewd great men
of the time. If he cannot write a state
document he can dictate one. He knows
what is in every one that he signs,
and his native shrewdneSs enables him
to get the better of far more scholarly
rulers Of mightier realms than his.
when the interests of his poor burgh-
ers,' as he pathetically calls them, are
concerned.
