GEN'L NELSON A. MILES.


Rod of knight erlantry, of ripened ex-
perience from long and intimate con-
tact With public affairs and possessing
a frmness and dignity developed from
a lite's span Ia command of armies and
large enterprises, he combines more of
the attributes that make for availabili-
ty as a candidate for this exalted sta
ton than any one yet suggested, dis
strength is confined TO no particular
section. He is a national character III
every sense of that much abused term.
His personal popularity would sweep
the country from ocean to ocean and
from the lakes to the gulf like unto a
prairie fire. Local pride in his achieve
ments would swing the electoral vote
of the East into line. His thoroughly
American campain IN Porto Rico and
Cuba reader him a warm favoriIe in
the South. His valiant service in the
Civil War gives him an Irresistible
sway in the North and with the Grand
Army of the Republic. His unexam-
pied success as an Indian fighter and
builder,up of waste places will rally
around him solid West. He is the
one giant who could carry Nebraska
against Bryan and populism. His
liberal views on the rights of individu-
ais will attract the support Of the Ger
mans, while the slight tincture of Celtic
blood in his veins derived from a noble
ancestry, will cause the Irish element
to stand for him as one mana
The Negroes admire Gen. Miles for
his intolerance of race prejudices or
determinations while in command of
the regulars in the West and accredit
to him many Of the comforts which
they enjoyed during the Spanish
American War for it is known that he
more than once exercised his prestige
as ranking general to render credit to
the brave boys of the 9Th and 10th
cavalry and oath and 25th infantry, in
whom he had always taken great pride.
When the exploits ef San Juan Hill
are recalled, our "bOys" modestly
ascribe liberal need of their achieve
ment to the training, discipline and
encouragement as instilled by their ia
vOrite, General Miles,
NOT A TIN SOLDIER.
General Miles is no ''tin soldier"
No 'pop,gun" diversions have found a
place in his career to be used as a lev
er to lift political favors. He has won
his spurs by merit and hard work. He
invariably rides at the head Of his
column, and so daring has been some
of his charges in seemingly hopeless
engagements that he was at one time
said to bear a charmed Ilfe," and his
adventures have formed the basis of
numbers of romantic stories that have
captivated the fancy of the younger
generation, now arriving at voting age.

As the eloquent Conkling said of the
immortal Grant at the Chicago conven-
ton in 1880:

Having mastered TO the satisfaction
of the COT ot1y, the vexed problems of
nationsl l.4ity, of tariffs and monetary
stand ards, the republican party will be
called upon in this campaign to adjust,
on intelligent and equitable lines, a set
of newer perplexities, growing out of the
enlargement OF our territorial borders,
and the proper government Of many
souls, alien to Us in customs and Ian
guage. The selection of leader to
carry the banner of expansion, wider
markets, healthful combination of ct pi-
tai, an honest dollar and continued pros
perity, will not be difficult task. The
Philadelphia convention, sitting in Wis
dom and judgment, will again place at
the helm that patriot of patriots, and
whole souled Christian gentleman, Maj.
William Mckinley.
But what of the Vice Presidency? Be
il said to the credit of cur country's best
thinkers. that the ancient notion that
the second position Of honor under the
government, was ofno consequence has
practically ceased to obtain. There are
duties and responsibilities attached to
the Office of Vice President that require
q delicacy of treatment, experience, an
impressive personality and strong intel
leetual equipment. He wields an infu-
enee upon the legislation and diplomacy
of the country notgenerallY understood.
Standing but one remove from the chief
magistracy, to which he may be called
by the ever present possibility of death,
it is essential that the Vice-President be
3 man of commanding attainments, and
possess every quality desirable in a
President. No less care therefore should
be exercised by convention in select
ing q ''running-mate" thaRin the choice
of the head of the ticket.

NO ORATIONS.
Request of Graduating Class is
Complied With.
School Board Discusses the Merits of
Teachers aad Proposed sChanges
Behind Closed Doors.

Members of the school board sought
to deprive the public of the knowledge
of some of their proceedings at last
nights meeting by excluding the re-
porters from the most important half of
their session. Whether or not they &C
complished this, they will know after
reading the report given below of the
secret session.
The most important action taken at
the open session was the granting of
the request of the graduating class to
have speaker on their commencement
program instead of the rather anti
quated practice of essays and orations
by the graduates. The class preferred
to give their time to their studies, and
Supt. Uline gave this purpose his en-
dorsement, calling the attention of the
board to the fact that the schools are
intended to give intellectual rather
than Evolutionary training. The pub
lie will not be called upon to suffer for
two or three hours in order to see the
young ladies and gentlemen receive
their diplomas, and there will be no
heart burnings on the part of those who
were not selected to appear on the pro-
gram, and their parents and friends.
Each of the twenty or more
graduates will leave the public schools
on exactly the same level, without
favoritism and without applause for
some and invidious remarks for
others. None of them will enter up.

pupils were to get up and show some
thing of their school work. If left to a
vote of the parents, they would vote
nine to one in favor of exercises by the
pupils, which would be in harmony
with the spirit of the schools.
Supt. Uline said that he would pre-
fer to see almost no exercises other
than the comforting of diplomas, to the
ordinary essays The class will have
class day exercises, where they can
show what they can do. 1t will be an
attractive feature of the week.
President Davis said that class day
exercises do not draw like graduation
exercises. They are held in the high
school, where only small number can
witness them.
The motion was carried, four to

Pay Of Substitutes.

President Davis said that there was a
matter that should be considered. Dur
ing the scourge Of mumps some of the
teachers had been attacked and had to
have substitutes. 1t was for the board
to determine what compensation the
substitutes were to receive for their
services.
A long discussion ensued. some hold
ing that the substitutes should be paid
at the same rate as the teacher sub
stituted for, while others held that this
was an injustice, that substitute for
$50 teacher might not do as good
work as the substitute for $50 teacher.
On Mr.. Coughlan's motion, it was
voted to give the substitutes the same
pay as the sick teachers, only Pres.
Davis voting mo-"
Mrs. Smith reported that at the last
state examination 80 eighth grade
papers in arithmetic were sent in and
all passed. Miss Elsie Koke received
100 by the university markings. and
most of the papers were above so. In
history and grammar, 25 of each class
passed with good grades, the best being
in grammar, the most being above, so
some above 80.
The bills were allowed. The board
saved 81 by buying it's mats of home
dealer instead of travelling salesman.
Referring to the water bills from the

children could be turned into horses
they would get their water for nothing.
Mr.. Parry said that he did not under

children and not on the old broken
down mules and spawned horses that
get water for nothing.

ATHLETIC CLUB.
Arrangements Made for the Exhibition to
be Given April Goth.

The regular meeting of the Athletic
club was held last evening. 1t was de-
cided to purchase twentyfour lockers
for the use of the members, each locker
to be used by two members. Klein
schmidt Bros, being the lowest bidders
were awarded the work.
1t was decided to give the Athletic
exhibition at the opera house on April
30, and committee consisting of Pres.
U. g. Truax, Ed Schumacher. Frank
Busch, J. E. Reynolds and E. F. Scar
ing was appointed to make all
arrangements. The program will be
in charge of Instructor Gerstenhauer.
The matter of putting in baths was
laid oyer until the next meeting for
definite action.
In order to increase the membership
of the club before incorporating. it was
decided to place the membership ad-
mission at S. so until the next meeting
of the club, April 18th. This opportu-
nifty ought not to be overlooked by any
one wishing to join an organization of
this kind.
The main business of the evening was
to hear the report of the committee on
incorporating and the discussion of the
same. The committee reported about
as follows:
That a joint stock company be or
ga nized, with capital of $1,000 or
SO, 900. one share of $40 to be given to
each of the members, the balance to be
sold as opportunity offers. Only stock
holders shall be entitled to vote. Per-
sons not stockholders can become en-
titled to the privileges of the club room
by paying dues. Non-payment of mem
bership dues forfeits the stock to the
club.
Action was delayed.
