A DoWN-EAsT EPISODE.

From time to time we nave DeeH forced to blush over the details of acts ef lawiessnees committed by our North ern brethren. Of late the bushes come much oftener and strike deeper. In
 fact, not to put too fine point upon it, we are in danger of falling into condition of continual biushiness, unless we quit reading the papers.
 The latest jar sustained by our some- what case e-hardened sensibilittes comes from far-away New Hampshire, State where the farms all stand on their edges. where they plant thefr corn with augurs and dig their potatoes with erow-bars: xsbere the whangdosdle mournesh for her first born and Mother Nature looks as if she had just escaped from the hands of an apprentice at the trade of world-building.
 The Manchester Union of last Wed nesday comes to us with an account, headed in circus poster type and fu- neral headlines. of a lynehing bee just indulged in by the best citizens of Goffstown. As usual there was wo- man fin the case, a handsome widow, and the man was white-the village | blacksmith, who has a wife of his own, | 1t Is sad to relate.
 It isshe same old story of Sampson 1 and Defifah; of weak man falling be- | fore the charms of beauty and the ltemptress. His visits to her became so frequent and his attentions so patent that the good people were shocked with mighty shock They laid violent hands on the blacksmith as he was
 leaving the home of his charmer at the l witching hour of night and what they
 did to him "was a plenty"
 True, they didn't take his life, for that ] would have been too commonplace, and
 would not have befitted the circum-
 stances. They first reduced him to a
 condition of Adsmic, nudity and gave
 him a plentiful coating Of tar. fol-
 lowed by a decorative envelope of gray goose feathers, giving him the semb-
 lance of a badly gToomed dode. Then they turned him loose to go back tc
 his charming widow. though it isn't l probable that he was received with 1 open arms. Be that as it may. she helped him to put himself in a condition
 to return to his own home. where he doubtless had an interesting time ex- pIainfng tJ his wife.
 The poet has told us how
 Old Flud Ireson, for his hard heart, Was tsr'd an featherd an rode on a carf.
 I but blacksmith Paul missed the ride
 and thus escaped the ignomy of becom-
 ing a spectacle to be hooted and jeered at by his outraged fellow citizens. Per
 haps this would have been more endur-
 able than to have been sent back tc
 his inaorata with his feathers turned
 the wrong way, or to go to his home | in a strange suit of clothing, with th'
 sn ell of tar on his person and a large cargo of disgust in his heart.
 It was had affah and We mus
 blush some more.

tor of The CONSERVATIVE, on behalf of
the Old Settlers Of Otoe county, who
are to assemble in Morton Park on Mon
day, September 2, 1901, our esteemed
fellow-citizen, Ex-Governor Robert w.
Furnas, who is acknowledged by all to
be one of the greatest benefactors of the
commonwealth Of Nebraska, remarks:
"Those of us who served as pioneers
in laying foundations for our children,
are annually being called home. Soon
the roll call will not be responded to.
But our works will not be forgotten.
They are impressed on all that is good
and great in this young and growing
commonwealth. May He, who knoweth
all things, and doeth all things well,
keep Nebraska pioneers under the hollow
of His hand, while here sojourners, and
in the end grant them admission into
the great Hereafter, where we are as
sured neither sorrow nor old age shall
mar that joy which shall be everlasting"

motive power in directing conduct and
regulating character. A specific effort
must be put forth to train the will and
make it an efficient instrument in recti-
flying life. Here is where the schools
have demonstrably failed, for, while
their tendencies are not immoral, they
are not so vigorously and definitely
moral as to insure the essential right
eousness Of the rising generation, and
this is one Of the prime demands which
democracy, as well as humanity, must
make upon the schools, as intelligence
and righteousness are fundamental at
tributes of democratic citizenship.
Observers in various stations Of life
have already noted a tendency towards
lowering of moral standards, less
scrupulous observance of the obligations
of honesty and good faith, and readi
ness to retort to sharp practices, which
do not augur well for the future. Again,
the standards of student honor are no.
toriously lower than those that obtain
in society. These facts indicate that
there is an imperative necessity for a
new adjustment of our methods, SO that
this evil may be remedied, but it
is much easier to make diagnosis of
the case than to prescribe the remedy
Probably every child possesses the
power to distinguish between the right
and the wrong, and Furthermore he u.s.,
or may be conscious of right and wrong
in every act of his life. Moreover, the
generality of children would choose to
do the right rather than the wrong un-
less acted upon by some constraining
power outside of themselves. But as a
matter Of fact, the children of today
are not taught to exercise their volun-
tary powers wisely and uprightly. In
school they are submitted to an author
ity from which they have no appeal,
which decides for them definitely what
they shall do and what they shall not
do, thus eliminating from their lives all
power of choice. In addition to this,
such authority is frequently SO exercised
that they deem themselves justified in
eluding it, whenever they can do SO
without being caught, proceeding
which certainly is not strictly moral in
it's tendencies, and which cultivates an
attitude of mind towards all authority
which is not in consonance with the
high ideals of our civilization.
Lack of School Democracy.
Such system of government not
only lowers personal standards of mo-
rality, but is not in harmony with the
constitution under which we live, and
will not furnish the best preparation for
citizenship. This criticism Of the
schools, therefore, resolves itself into

DARNELL BREAKS NEWS
TO THE SALOONKEEPERS

Chief of Police James Darnell spent
several hours last evening visiting
saloons in the business district and
informing the proprietors of the at
titude the administration has taken
with regard to the enforcement of
women from the retail liquor trade.
They were informed that if women
were found hanging about their places
after this week, prosecution of all
parties will follow, with revocation
of their licenses.
In reply to questions the chief told
some of them that they will have to
use their own judgment in discrim-
mating between women brought in
by their husbands for a social glass
of beer and others.
This order, it is understood, will
not apply to summer gardens, being
calculated only TO reach those who
make their headquarters in saloons.
Two new night policemen went on
duty last evening. George PAIL was
put on the lower beat and Michael
Taxman between Twenty-fourth and
Thirtieth streets.

ARE TO BE SOUGHT.

several Rock Island business men
looking to the establishment OF rail-
way postoffice run on the Beardstown
train on the c., b So, arriving here
at noon and departing again in the
middle of the afternoon. To the bus
mess interests of this city and Moline
that have relations down along the
Burlington it would be decided ad-
vantage and besides provide local
mail service for all the towns be-
tween here and Beardstown, that
those places feel is needed. Business
men of several of the towns along the
line have had the matter up for dis
cussion before, aud it is said by r. p.
o. clerks that the addition of the run
would be decided advantage in rout-
ing mail through this section. AT
any rate it is probable that the rail-
way mail service will be given a
chance to pass upon the matter in the
near future.
