EDUCATIONAL.

Some years ago q celebrated
traveller while visiting Germany,
noticed, as he passed along the
public road in which stood many
line cherry trees, that some of these
trees had about them wisp OF
straw. Curiosity led him to enquire
what this meant. He learned that
the fruit of those thus marked was
reserved for the owner of the es-
tate adjoining the highway where
the trees stood, while that from the
other trees was for the passer-by.
Further curiosity led him to en-
ouire whether the boys in Germany
respected this mark-this little
wisp of straw-American boys
would not. The answer was sig
nificant: "Have you no schools In
America 2"
This is severe but no doubt a
lust comment on the lawlessness of
boys in America-the little respect
they have for any authority, and
especially for that which is out Of
sight.
1t is apparently difficult to 10
cate the cause in the schools
There is ten times more lawless-
ness. noise and disorder in the Ger
man schools, here in America, than
there is in the English schools
Some indeed are a perfect bedlam
to one accustomed only to our best
disciplined schools. The lawless-
ness of American boys is studied
and practiced, not in school, but
outside, where the teachers author
ity does not extend. If they break
the windows Of shops, barns, or
unoccnpied dwellings, it will he
fonpd that il was done In the even
ing in almost every case. Shade
trees have been peeled, premises
disfigured, and other acts OF van
dalism committed Ivy the school
, how, but rigid enquiry has almost
invariably proved that the boy at
the time was wholly beyond the
control of the tearher. The dis
|, ciplipe of the schools can do much
but it cannot with any penalty fol-
low the boy through the streets at
: night. That Of the parents If II
is Of any value, can, and 1t certain
ly should.
;, The season Of truancy Is agair
J. upon MS. More boys by far play
r truant at this season than at any

e careful watchfulpcss Of both pa
o rents and teachers to keep some
within bounds. The matter is o

HIGH TARIFF.

"America First; Engl and Afterwards"
Plttsburg, Feb. 9.-The people turned
out en- masse as early as 8 o'clock this
morning, to take part in the tariff
demonstration. The streets were
thronged with delegations, marching
to the positions assigned in the process
sions. Nearly all the towns in western
Pennsylvania, eastern Ohio and West
Virginia were represented. The pro-
cession, with the exception Of the car
riages containing city officials, was
composed entirely of men on foot,
marching four abreast. Among the
mottoes on the banners were, "Ameri-
ca first, England afterwards" 1.-THE
importation of British iron means star
vation to American freemen;" "Con-
gress must not reduce Americans to the
level of European serfs;" "We want
high tariff and prosperity" High
tariff guarantees prosperity throughout
the country" 1t is estimated that
900 men were in line. Immediate
ly after the street parade large and
enthusiastic meeting was held in the
Exposition building, Allegheny City.

WHO WILL BE POPE
The Question Which Agitates the Cath
olics.

The Question Which Agitates the Cath
olics.
Rome, Feb. 9.-Among the candi.
dates for the Papal crown who, like
Bilio, is favored by the Ultramontanes,
is Cardinal Panebianco, a Sicilian, born
in 1908, appointed Cardinal in 1861,
much to the astonishment of Rome,
where he was comparatively but little
known. At the time of his appoint
ment he was very generally talked of
as likely to be the next Pope.
Cardinal Piorto, named by some lib
eral-minded Cardinals, is a Roman.
He is in his 73d year, and has been a
Cardinal since 1856. He comes of an
illustrious family, is Bishop of Albano,
and noted for his liberal opinions.
Cardinal Ferrieri, also in favor as a
liberal candidate, was born in 1910.
He was appointed Cardinal in 1868.
He was sent by the late Pope on mis-
sion to the Sutton About Mejid, and Sc
lected as Nuncio at Naples, Lisbon
and Madrid. He is very learned, and
in appearance dignified and impressive.
The Ultramontanes are supported by
the Jesuits, and represent the party in
favor of extreme measures against the
Italian government, as opposed to those
who favor conciliation of the Italian
monarchy by the church. 1t is believed
that Panebianco would have been the
choice of Plus TX for the succession.
The suggestion that an English
speaking Cardinal may be the success
full candidate is opposed by the fact
that the numerical preponderance is
with the Italians, who constitute 80 of
the total Go Cardinals.
There may be significance in the fact
that Cardinal Manning, of England,
seems to have allied himself with the
party at Rome which seeks the restora-
tion of the Pope's temporal power.

Messrs. Cullom and Castellanos, of
counsel for Thomas c. Anderson, it is
ordered that the attorney general show
cause on Wednesday, 18th, why a new
trial should not be granted upon the
grounds: First, that the verdict is

trary to law, as more specifically set
forth in the bills of exception taken
during the trial and now on record and

ToA correspondent of the Cincinnati
Enquirer Secretary Schurz said:-"I
think we need to approach vital ques-

spirit of reason and courage. The gov
ernment is too much operated by side
issues, which arise to disturb us as we
approach general issues. In my expe-
rience in America there has never been
candid discussion of trade, commerce
and the tariff. think in this quiet
time we ought not to regard discussions
Of that class as dangerous, but should
with reasonable minds walk up to and
examine them"

to degraded labor system. But all
propositions for silver dollar heavier
