tee. A tax Of 30 cents on the dollar was vot-
ed. payable on or before the first day Of July
A question having been raised as to whether
Greek was now taught in the High school,
the number of pupils studying that language
and the expense involved in such instruction
TO the district. Mr.. Waite replied that. in re-
spopse TO what seemed to be general public
demand. instruction in Greek had been pro-
vided during the past year the number of
pupils studying the language had been three,
the expense had been $500. and the
course in the High school is now such as to
fully prepare students to enter any college in
the country Rev Dr. Walker supplemented
this statement with few remarks very hap
PLY stated in which he said he hoped that
the question as to the ACCESSIBILITY of provid-
inc instruction in Greek would not be consid-
cred solely with regard to the number who
had studied the language during the past
year. This had only been a beginning, and
he looked to see the ambition Of pupils slim
ulated, and the number Of students in the
language increased year by year, until the
school may have a large class in Greek of pu-
pills fitting themselves for higher education.
That Greek is taught in the High school is
not for the benefit OF men Of means or of pa
rents competent Of themselves TO fit their
children for college it is for the benefit Of
children Of farmers and mechanics who could
not otherwise have the educational advant-
ages thus offered Dr. Walkers remarks

by his arbitrary methods in using patronage.
Only last summer the papers of Wisconsin
published bitter and offensive, not to say
low. personal letter. written by Mr.. Howe TO
one of the Republicans of Wisconsin who
failed to agree with him. As he has gained
confidence in the efficacy of patronage and
party machinery, he has lost the courage of
positive convictions. He believes that the
Republican party can be kept together to
fight over battles won years since, and lodges
taking issue upon live questions. 1t is said
that his latest grievance is that he was not
appointed Associate Justice of the Supreme
Court instead of General Harlan. These
were, in part, the causes which inspired SEN
ator Howe to make speech which, while it
does him no honor will possibly serve to bet
ter his chance of reelection.
As political manifesto the speech is not
calculated to give encouragement to the par
ty. One may recognize the force and justice
of many of his statements and may deplore
the present condition of political affairs but
when Mr.. Howe substantially comedies that
the days of the Republican party IRE num-
bered when he expresses his only hope of
its future by an ironical appeal for Democrat
ic forbearance when he announces that he
is awaiting the ruin of the old organization,
and charges its destruction upon President
Hayes, he not only errs in sagacity and Wilt
fies the record, but makes it manifest TINT he,
and those in Congress who act with him,
prefer that the party shall die under their
leadership rather than yield to the progress
of events and accept the leadership of such
'impracticable' and visionary" reformers
as President Hayes and Carl Schurz. Such
feelings are pitiful and unworthy. and to give
them expression in the halls of Congress il
not wise. To talk about the Republican par
ty repudiating President Hayes, in view of
his strong hold upon the popular heart, and
his undoubted integrity whatever may have
been his mistakes. either of omission or com
missions worse than folly it is sheer mad
ness and the sooner Congressional leaders of
the Howe pattern desist from their attempts,
and, instead of heaping obstacles in the Pres
ident's way join hands with him in carrying
out the principles which he has enunciated,
and which the country endorses, the sooner
will the prospects of the Republican party
begin to brighten and the surer will length of
days he added unto it.

Daniel O'Leary, an freshman 32 years old,
who was born in Cork, but who came to this
country twelve years ago, and has since lived
in Chicago, has just accomplished the greatest
walking feat on record in pedestrian match
in London. He succeeded in going $40 miles,
and two laps about the arena thrown in for
good measure, in days, 20 hours and 10
minutes. Thisallows but l6 minutes and G-1O
seconds to each mile, and the actual average
time taken per mile must necessarily have
been considerably less than this to allow for
the rests, The thing aimed at was to see who
could walk the greatest number of miles in
l41 consecutive hours, and London has been
in fever of excitement over it. The contest
was under the patronage of Sir John Ashley,
and O'Leary gets $500 for his weeks work

A dispatch from Syracuse y. Y. under
date of March -, says In the town of Gle
Gro eight miles from this city on Saturday
evening, womuu named LoN l. Edden
murdered her mother aged 50 years by stab
bing her in the back with jack knife. They
had lived together several years but did not
agree. They lived on a small farm worked
by the two sons of the murdered woman The
daughter had beaten her mother on several
occasions, and on Saturday afternoon while
eating dinner, she picked quarrel with her
mother and abused her Finding that she
could not break the old woman's spirit. she
seized jack-knife and stabbed her in the
back, under the shoulder blade inhcting a
mortal wound. The old woman fled from
the house, and staggered out to the roadside
and sat down ut the foot of a tree. She was
found there by some neighbOrs passing by
who assisted her into the house At the door
they were met by the daughter Mrs Edden.
who exclaimed in passion What did the
TT old --- go out there to make a show
OF herself for y The mother was taken into
the house and placed on bed. where she
soon died. The murder was not discovered
until the body was laid out for burial, when
the stab in the back was found. The knife.
still covered with blood, was found in draw
er of a bureau.
The murderess is wholly composed and re-
CARDS herself as a heroine She does not con-
TESS the crime, but says that her mother fell
down and killed herself. After the mother
died she shut the house, stripped the body of
the blood-stained clothes, tore them into
strips, and burned them in the fire. She is
now lodged in jail.

THE HANGING OF THHEE MoRE MOLLY Ma
CURES at bloomsbury Pa. on Monday marks
another step in the work Of breaking
up and bringing to justice one of the
most powerful criminal organizations that ev-
er existed and harassed "a civilized community.
For 10 or L. years the entire coal mining re-
gion Of Pennsylvania was held almost at the
mercy of these oath-bound bandits. whose
sole object seems to have been to prevent in
teilgent men from earning more than the Ia
" and desperate. No man not n member of
the order could, by dInt of hard work and pa
neni mincIng of his own business. hope to
accumulate something for rainy day. with
out rendering himself obnoxious to the Mol
lies and mourning the risk of getting a bullet
through his head any day. without warning
1t was useless TO follow up their crimes with
prosecutions in the courts, for they had mon
ey, and could buy up lawyers, often had their
sworn allies on the bench, and could always
as IA last resort, efiectually ntimdate a Jury.
The credit of ferretng out the secrets of this
organization gathering the evidence of their
guilt. ANA finally bringing a machinery of
justice a. ingenious and effective as their own
means OF deyiltry to bear upon them. belongs
to Franklin b. Gowen, president of the Phil
adelphn and Reading milroad company. a
man OF wonderful industry great executive
ablliiy. and apparently with much fondness
for the highest class Of detective work. De
voting Unwearied attention and keen. intelh-
gent study to the task he engaged detectives
to pcr,onate NIolles, join their order and
learn their craftiest plots, himself planning
the scheme even to details. Gowen. however,
did not rest satisfied with merely finding out
tn, dark ways Of the gang, He swore ont
warrants for the arrest of ring-loaders. and
personally appeared against them in the
courts, first making sure that the trials should
be something more than farce The n suit
must have astonished himself Eleven of the
worst desp, radOes the country held We're
hung on the 22d Of last June. and three more
shared the same fate Monday, while yet 9th
ers are still waiting execution. The crime
for which Mondays victims were condemned
was the murder of Alexander Rea. a mining
superintendent at Locust Gap in 1870 and 1t
was peculiarly atrocious as no motive could
be assigned save pure wanton brutality The
murdcrelF Hester Kelley and Tully, were all
