objection at that particular point,
although justifable upon legal
technicalities, rather damages his
case; otherwise, little or nothing
was developed against him. 1t is
only barely possible that there was

Caldwell. The testimony ofRollins
was rather contradictory. he ad-

A PRETTY MIDDLE.

Colonel Tom Scott steps forward
and teStifies that he bought the
seyenty-fve Little Rock and Fort
Smith railroad bonds for $50, 900,
and afterwards sold them to the
Union Pacific Railroad Company
for something over s64, 900, through
Morton, Bliss & Co., Of New York.
He further testified that Mr.. Blaine
had nothing to do with the trans
action as far as he knew. Scott
was a member of the board of d.
rectors, and President at the time
OF the sale. The bonds were
bought, he says, partly to accommo-
date him, but mainly to compensate
him for his services as President
without disturbing his salary, which
had been fixed at $4,000, though he
has never received a cent. M.
Scott, in trying to clear Blaine,
places himself in an awk-
ward position. Mr.. Harrison
gave in his testimony yesterday,
~
but it was mostly from hearsay
and not directly damaging to
Blaine. Scott bought the bonds
from a Mr.. Caldwell, a Boston man ,
formerly interested in Arkansas
railroad affairs, but now said to be
in Europe. When John Me- lure,
of Arkansas, was asked if he knew
what disposition Caldwell made Of
any of the railroad bonds Mr..
Blaine promptly and strenously
objected. The question was ruled
out, but Mr.. Mcclure said he knew
nothing about the matter that

Immediately attempted to reach shore,

down. A gentleman on the Kentucky

THOSE NORMAL SCHOOLS.

1t may be put down as a settled
point that the three classical
schools now being taught at the
Market street school building are
not normal schools in any sense of
the word. The frothy, "highfa-
lutin'" report of the majority of
the late committee does not pretend
that the schools are normal in any
of their characteristics. Yet they
were called normal schools in that
celebrated centennial job; the astute
superintendent calls them formal
schools when he has occasion to
refer to them; and they are put
down in the reports and on the
records as normal schools. Why
this is so is one of those things ''no
fellah can find out" 1t has been
limited by some witless wight that
the name was a sort of sugar-coat
to make the people believe they
were not swallowing a nauseous
pill when they were supporting a
classical high school. This cannot
be so. On the reputation of the
Board of Education, we deny it
absolutely. That Board is not
composed Of tricksters. They
are honorable men, and would
not thus triAe with public sem
timent or inappropriate pub
lie funds. Others, who travel
on a higher plane Of policy, have
said this name was given the
schools to make them attractive,
just as the vendor of quack nos
trums calls his mixture of tansy
and whisky the great life invigora-
tor of the age. This is equally un-
true, and for the same reasons.
Our wise Board of Education has
the power, under the charter, to
establish and keep up a high school
and "prescribe higher branches
of study than" are taught in
"other cities" They have
run and ara running those
Market street schools without
opposition. No other classical
schools in the city teach these
higher branches without fee or re-
ward; and besides all this the OBJ
lection which is made by the good
cltlZens OF the town TO this use Of
the public funds is regarded by that
Board, as indicated by the majority
report Of that select committee, as
the noisy howl of a malignant mob.
Hence the question, Why is this
thus? is one of the mysteries past
the comprehension of ordinary
minds. AS an investigator into
public matters and things" we
confess our inability to solve The
mystery. To settle the matter, if
the Board persist in continuing
these schools, would it not be well
to "change the name?"
