The WLiskey Men.

A large batch Of the crooked whis-
key men were sentenced at Chicago
last week. Mr.. HESING who was in
famous as leader Of the gang and no.
torious as one of Chicago's most ener-
getic rascals in city government was
sentenced to two years in the County
Jeil, and the payment of fine of
$4,000. II. B. Miller received six
months and fine of $4,000. Other
tempted and Welding ones received
sentences varying from a few months
to one and two years and fines in pro-
portion. The Post and Mail n notic-
ing the action of Judge Blodgett' S
court in the whiskey matters, says,
and every loyal man will second most
heartily its enunciation
One thing, however, may be set
down as assured, which is that, in view
of the result of the Grant Bristow pro-
secutions and convictions, men In fu-
turc will be far more careful than
they ever have been IN the past, in re-
spect to their obligations to the Reye-
nue. Department of the Government.
This, of course, is the result sought
for by all honest Government officials.
Whatever of personal interest The
Post and MnI may have in the per-
sons sentenced to-day, or IN those who
shall be sentenced in the future, is held
in allegiance - more than that is sunk
in its paramount desire that all reve-
nues due the Government, properly
levied. shall be promptly and fully
collected, and that whoever attempts
to defraud the Government shall be
properly and promptly punished.
The sentences to day, if they shall
be followed by pr'oportionate severity
in the cases of those yet to be pun
ished, will in all uman probability ac-
complIsh the mo st desirable result
Therefore, The p ost and Neal, with
''malice toward nome and charity for
all, " says that the judgments pronoun-
ced by Judge Blodgett to day, will
stand the test of the calm scrutiny Of
the unbiased public

Yours truly,

"a When Cate, with his meekest
and most sorrowing look, presented
that resolution to investigate BRIsTOW.
he impressed the House with the idea
that he was a very nice and good man,
and that he not only couldn't endure
fraud and corruption in Republicans,
but that his own heart, as well as his
word, was as pure and as white and
free from all that corrupts as the I'M
fallen snow. Then when. the day af-
forwards, the memorial from the Wis
consin Legislature was presented, which
memorial asks Congress to investigate
Cate right to a seat in that body, and
cites among other things that chief
Justice Ryan, himself Democrat. and
one of the most ultra, said he came by
It through the grossest fraud, it is said
Cate WINGED somewhat, and that the
House looked upon him wondering
how so honest pretending gent should
have such cloud hanging over his
head. The general Impression was,
and is every where general, that it
would have looked better for some 9TH
er gentleman than Cate to introduce a
resolution for an investigation into
charges of fraud and corruption =

HE NOMINATION Of HAYES and
W HEE-LER is received all over the
country with the most hearty approval
Immense ratification meetings have
been ana are being held nightly in all
the larger cities, and prominent towns
from Maine to Texas The nomina-
tions have been found so unexceptional
that the liberal element in our politics
which has hitherto been alened, is re-
turning to the support Of the ticket al
most en- naasse. When such papers as
the ~. y Tribune, the Chicago Trib-
une, Harper's Weekly, and a score of
Others, all important factors in forming
and regulating public and political OPP
lnlon advocate the election Of HAYES
and WHEELER, it means that the right
cord has been strack, and that there
wilt be harmony, while at the same
time such music as our democratic
friends, many of them, may dance to
with their wonted enthusiasm. The
ticket means victory, and a faithful
and honest administration Of govern
mental affairs The Convention at ST.
Louis cannot resurrect a man who can
whip one side Of it.

The text book law" of Wisconsin,
passed by the State General Assembly,
last winter, permits the qualified elect
ors of any school district, or of any
town in which the township system OF
school government has been adopted
by legal vote. and the board of alder
men or board of trustees ofany city or
Incorporated village, by ordinance or
resolution. to authorize school boards
to purchase text books for use in the
public schools, such text books to be
loaned TO pupils under appropriate con
ditions and restrictions. The WiscoE-
sin Journal Of Education approves of
the system of free text books, and says
it gives satisfat ton. The Journal III
stances the following reasons for its
approval OF the law: The saving of
nearly one half the original cost,
the removal of the last exception to
the absolute freedom of the schools, the
economical use of books by successive
classes, the less frequent changes whea
school boards have the responsibility
of purchasing and caring for public
property Gnstead Of merely debating
what Others shall purchase and care
for). the absolute uniformity secured
to the extent that is really essential,
and the full and prompt equipment of
the schools with books at the beginning
of the term. "These and other great
aud manifest advantages, continues
the Journal, Twill yet make free text
books every where the adjunct OF free
schools"

If you wish to speak to your whole
school, or to have a general exercise,
see that exery scholars eye is turned
toward you before you begin. Or. in
other words, always get a good ready
before you start. Do you regard this
foolish advice? To the want of its
practice is due, in large measure, the
friction and lack OF success that many
teachers encounter. True, it is little
thing; but it has much to do with the
morale of school. The character of a
teacher, and of her school, may usual
ly be accurately determined by simply
seeing her call class, or call her roll.
Young teachers particularly, in their
anxiety ''to be at work." waste much
of their ammunition. They begin to
fire before the enemy Is in range. Do
not begin a recitation until every pupil
in the study seats is at his proper work
and quiet. Do not make a single ex-
PLANTATION so long as there is scholar
who will not hear. How is this atten
ton to be securedl At fret watt
wait with power, but politely The
steady eyes of the teacher, with those
of the children, who will soon turn in
the same direction, will speedily sub
due an ordinary case. II this fails,
stronger force must be brought to bear
But do not forget that time spent ii,
getting a good ready, is well spent.
