THE MULLETT QUESTION

1t is a season OF surprises in public affairs.
Regarding Mullett for instance who would have
supposed, even brief week ago, that he could
be dethroned in the summary manner We have
just seen To say that he unseated himself is
but approximately true. man does not give
up such influence as Mullett welded. In some
mysterious way he was undermined, and he had
to get down as speedily as possible il with some
loss OF dignity. The facts are certain to come
out, however, and when they do they will make
very pretty reading.
The general interest felt in this affair shows
that the Mullett overthrow is something quite
different from the loss OF place by an individual
Office holder. Mullett had really made himself
felt in the most practical way as one Of the most
important officers of the government. There is
scarcely section which is not dependent on him
for local improvements of one kind or another.
Post-Ofices, Custom Houses U. S. Court Rooms
some Of them structures of palatial sort
are going up under his fostering care, The
communities rejoicing in these improvements
may be pardoned for doubling If a successor to
Mullett will sanction all his expenditures and for
wondering if some of their fine anticipations
might not be darkened under another rule. We
see thus how Mulletts discontinue becomes a
national topic.
We see also how Mullett, fully conscious CT
this influence, thought he could carry things
with high hand in Washington. He had tire.
mendous constituency behind him, interested il
supporting him in every demand, and powerful
enough to make itself felt even in the powerful
Treasury Department. Take Philadelphia as
single example, Property holders and buslnes
men innumerable are concerned in the new Pos
Office project there. Mullett is the friend o
the project therefore its other friends are Mul
letta friends. SO strong chain is this that i
would not be very surprising to hear next o.
Mulletts reinstatement with all the honors Ant
yet, Secretary Bristow is an uncommonly stronl
man Mullett had no idea how strong he wal
until he "butted' against him. Altogether i
is a complication in which peryerse people viii
take pleasure.

Carl schurz ON Educa,,on

Hon. Carl Schurz Monday night delivered a
lecture on Educational Problems" in Plymouth

In no country is the subject of education discus

The effect Of early education is to make the
mind active ana receptive in one word, 10 fit
men FOR that self-education which is the duty
of every man and woman. The real difficulty Is
when parents think that their duty is accom-
plahed If they keep their children fat, warm and
healthy. Neither woman nor a man can know
too much. 1t ID certainly true that the education
OF girls should he so directed that they can earn
their own livelihood, without dependence upon
others. No system OF education should stimulate
women to work their way through life indepen-
dent and alone.
II think it is the calling of women to become
married lCheers, 1t s as much the duty Of a
woman to become wife and mother as it is for
man to become husband and father. Good
education should therefore be directed to
this end; aud especially is it more important
that this should be the end Of woman, for the
family circle makes the State Woman in her

The verdict was then announced, that Arthur
