CRY OF MEXICO, October S0.-Slauuel
NJ. Zamaconi, special Commissioner from
Mexico, is en- route to Washington. 1t
is expected that he will remain there as
Minister.
Minister Foster gave an informal din

The excitement increased on the news

Texas.
Gen. Trevino pledges Nova Leon to
Diaz's policy Of extradition and the sup
preston OF the raids.
Mexican officials on the Rio Graude
claim that they give up criminals in all
cases required by the treaty and where

fuse to deliver up their own citizens on
the demand Of a foreign power, as the

declares that the government is empower.

High Schools ATE schools Of the few and
not Of the masses. They are like col.
lege,, and they should be supported on the
same principle, viz: by those who pat.
rOnizs them. They are not a legitimate
part Of the common school system, and no
general tax should be laid on the masses
for their support, The expense should
come exclusively out Of the pockets Of
those who are benefited, and not of the
man who is uecessitated to call his chill
dren away from school early in life in
order 10 help support the family.
The Pitbbnr rgh Leader has taken some
pains to analyEs the patronage Of The
High School, Of that city, and finds that
it ia largely made up Of few we'll to do
classes. lts list comprises 5S7 parents,
and out of all this numb": but % are
laborers, or less than one-twcntieth Of the
whole. This too in community where
the labOrinE class, excluding the skilled
mechanics, constitutes one-third Of the
population, Upon this showing the
Leader comments as follows:
"0t course the twenty-five laborers do
not represent all those who support their
children IN the High School By the labor
OF their hands. To these, for a Just com.
parison, must bs added the carpenters 90,
glass blowers q, cutters 5, plHslererJ,
plumbers, policemen, porIsEa and pud.
dlers l2, tailors -, BARRIERS 4, engineers
IL. This would swell the workingmens'
list to %. OF course there are many other
workers mentioned, but they send few
pupils, and they are fully odaet by the
persons We have not but should have in.
cluded anon: the wealthier class. The
proportion then OF the two classes in the
High School a. shown by this list will not
be unfairly represented by the proper.
ton Of IFS OF the richer 10 % Of the poor
er clasa.
OF course when we speak oi the wealth.
Ter or richer class we ouly mean to desig-
nate those who are able and would be
willing to seDd their children to private
schools ifthe High School did not exist.
By the poorer class We mean those who
could not send their children to advanced
private schools if the High School did
not exist. In this sense the analysis
proves c0nclusiVsly that the High School
is an aristocratic Institution. And when
it is recollected that We have included
among the former men like engineers,
carpenters, rollers and tailors, most Of
whom earn good livings and are abund-
antly able 10 educate their children, it
will be seen lhat the discrimination, the
inevitable discrimination against The
poor, ia even greater than the proportion
Wehave made.

Want a New Financial system.

ST. LOUIS, November 5.-The Journal
Of agriculture and Fdrmer, Of this city, has
forwarded to A. II. Buckner, Chairman
OF the Committee on Banking and Cur.
rency, farmers petition measuring l27
feet in length and containing 5,573
names. The memorialists ask for q tinan.
cial system independent Of a metallic
basis. They insist that the whole theory
OF specie resumption is nuphilosophical
and unsound; that the values being rela.
tue, the only thing which can be said to
be standard OF value ia necessarily the
mean relation Of all commodities; that
money is simply creature OF law, an
instrument Of commerce, standard OF
payment. They claim that those who
hold the real collaterals as improved
farms must have the privilege OF borrow.
ing money from the public treasury on
equal terms with those who hold bonds.
