scented by Mr.. Lancaster, which makes the
warrants to be Issued for the school certif-
Gates receivable for taxes and licenses, and
fundable in the baby bonds. This bill was
reported upon unfavorably by the COMMITTEES
on Ways and Means, and unless II be recon-
mitted, and favorable action taken thereon
then the school teachers are shut out from
all relief for at least two years.
1t was clearly the intention Of the conven-
ton In drafting the ordinance for the relief
OF delinquent taxpayers to embrace all classes
Of valid Indebtedness OF the State. and not
merely the warrants then outstanding The
mere fact that warrants had not been Issued
for the school certificates held by the teach
ers dees not, In our opinion, exclude them
from the privileges extended tn the warrant
holders, and we believe the Legislature has
the right to pass an act providing for the
Issuance of warrants for these certificates
and for the funding Of those warrants.
Il seems TO us to be one of those cases In
which the intention of the law making power
should govern, and there can he no question
whatever az to what the intention OF the CON
vention was In this regard. The mere over
sight Of not including these certificates In the
list Of other and similar obligations. made re-
ceivable for taxes and licenses and fundab|e
In bond g, should not weigh against the mani
feet purpose of the act, and thereby work an
irreparable injury to the school teachers.
The fact is that when the ordinance was
framed 1t was thought the claims of the
teachers were In the shape OF war
rants-as they would have been. but
for the custom which prevailed of not Issuing
war rants unless there were funds In the trea-
sury TO draw against. That the services
were rendered is unluestioned and the debt
is one Of 80 sacred a character that the Legis-
lature should give the blu providing for Its
Liquidation the most serious consideration.
IL would be a grievous thing for the women
who have toiled so long and faithfully and
saved up the evidences of the States III
debtedness for their services. to find those
evidences utterly worthless pieces Of paper
There are not many matters before the Legls-
lature which more | perattvely demand at
tention than this, an sincerely trust that
something will be done quickly Ia the matter

THE TEACHERS AGAIN.

At the risk of being considered importunate,
we must request the members OF the General
Assembly to bear In mind the fact that the
school teachers of the city and State have
just claims upon the State, of long standing,
which should be liquidated, or for which
some provision should be made.
It certainly cannot be the intention OF the
Legislature to discriminate against the
patient and meritorious women who have
devoted themselves for years to the instruc-
ton of the youth of the State, while all other
creditors are provided for. The failure by the
constitutional convention to make any pro-
vision for funding their claims ia the SIS
bonds was clearly an oversight, and one
which should be corrected by the present
Legislature by the passage Of the bill pre-

ALL FOOLS DAY,

In many countries Of Europe. "a England,
France and Germany, the first OF April has
long been appropriated to q Jacetious custom
for which no very satisfactory origin has
been assigned. To send an unsuspectiug or
lgno rant person on some hootless errand la
the great eudeavor OF the day. In Scotland
the INF ottunate subject of the trick Ia called
a" gowk," which has now, though the words
were pro hahly at ona time different. the mean
ing OF both 'ffool' and cuckoo and the
N ischievous errand sending is hunting u
gowk" In France the dupe is called poisson,
d'Arrjl, or April fish. One remarkable theory
trace the custom to Noah as sending out MS
dove on euoh guest; II ls also referred either
to tho miracle plays representing the sending
Of our Saviour from AnDas TO Calaphas and
from PLATE to Herod. or TO the change In
France, In 1864, Of New Years day to the first
Of January, which left the first Of April des-
titute Of anything but hurlesuue of It's
former festivities. snd more recently an iden-
tfieatioD has been attempted with the Hin
doc festival of Hall, which Ia celebrated la a
al milar manner on the thirty first of March.
No references to all FOOLS day have been
found In our earlier literature, and It eeems
that BOTH England snd Germany have derived
the fashion from France.

WESTERN HORTICULTURAL PROGRESS.

1t is not exceeding twenty years since
one might count upon the fingers the
gardener florists who were to be found
around Cincinnati and but one or two of
these made any pretensions to the sys-
tematic production Of flowers for any
other purpose than to sell their plants,
nor at any other season than the spring
when they might be offered in the mar
kets. 1t is perhaps ten years since the
shops devoted to the sale of cut flow
ers, floral ornaments and designs
in Cincinnati was limited to two. In
1872, when the horticultural feature Of
the Exposition was so snowy and At
tractive, if not, perhaps, so very select,
there were at most fifteen florists in the
city and surrounding suburbs. There
are now some sixty-fve, who market
their products regularly in and about
Cincinnati, and the stores that make
flowers and floral work a speciality num-
Der something like a dozen, each Of
whom, we venture to say, does as much
business as either Of the two formerly
did when they held the field exclusively
to themselves, and ons or two at least five
times q much. There are, moreover, ten

Happily it is proposed to provide

A Surprise Party Of Mutes.
\


On New Years evening the deaf mutes
of this place and neighborhood gave Mr..
and Mrs. George W. Lamb, residing at
the Falls, surprise party, bearing with
them substantial tokens of their venera-
ton and esteem for the Oldest mutes in
this neighborhood. Mrs. Lamb is about
eighty-four years Of age, and was one Of
the earliest pupils at the Hartford school
for the deaf and dumb. The Rev. L.
w. Bacon, Superintendent George w.
Martin, of the Park Church Sunday
school, and Mr.. H. V. Edmond, teacher
of the mute class, with several ladies,
were present. A fine collation. was
served, and the mutes were well enter
tanned during the evening. The audi
phone was tested, but of all present only
one heard by means of it. Miss Lottie
Bailey could hear with the instrument
placed between her eyes. 1t was pre-
sented to her by Mr.. Edmond. Other
tests were applied without satisfactory
results. Vibrating strings were placed
to the ears of pupil, from which hung
suspended a silver spoon. This spoon
was struck by an iron wand, and the
mutes described the sound to resemble
ringing bells.

The Commercial says: The increase in
gold in the United States in the year 1879
was $l05, ,OOO, 900. OF this, over $50, ,00Q, ,OO0
came out of the ground. So in the first
year of resumption we had over $l00, ,000,-
900 in gold infation.-Orville Grant says the
foreign tour of his brother Ulysses cost
$50, 900, and that if the General Is nomin-
ated for third term he will have to &C.
cept 'because he owes what lie is to the
American people," 1t is fact not per-
haps generally known, that the Convention
which framed the Constitution of the
United States twice determined by large
majority to make the Presidential term
six or seven years in length,
and to render the President in
eligible to second term.. This was done
by the Convention over which Washington
himself presided, and at time when it was
as certainly known as any coming event
could be that Washington would be the
first President of the United States. MIR.
Jefferson early formed resolution not to
permit himself to be q candidate for third
term of the Presidency. As early as the
Goth of March, 1907, or two years before the
expiration of his second term, he wrote
from Washington to Count Diodati, ex-
pressing the determination which he had
previously made no secret of-not TO stand
again for the Presidency.
The Gazette says: Tie Government Of
the State Of Maine is falling to pieces under
Democratic shutting. The Governors term
expired Wednesday. There Was no cleo
ton BY the people, as no one had q major
ity over all, that being required by the
Constitutions. The election of Governor
falls to the Legislature, but there is no
Legislature. The Garcelon fraudulent
mem bers # the House pretended to organ
ize on Wednesday, but because Of the alb
sence OF the Republicans, save one they
had not quorum. On Thursday the Re

private greenhouses now, where there
was one fifteen years ago, and in these
establishments, conducted by private citi-
zens and in the houses of the professional
florists, there are thousands of rare and
valuable plants that would be an orna-
ment to any collection of plants, how
ever recherche. But in the matter of
flowers forced into bloom out of season
for supplying what is technically called
"cut flowers" for sale loose or put up in
baskets or designs for those who have the
taste and means to buy, the advance in
production is something extraor-
dinary. We can well remember when
our leading floral stores imported
all their camellias from Philadelphia,
nearly all the roses and smilax from Bos-
ton, their violets, carnations, lilies Of the
valley and poinsettias from New York;
now the principal houses engaged in this
business grow all their own flowers and
bring them in daily fresh from the con-
servatories to supply the daily wants Of
their customers. One establishment
doing business on Fourth street has six
teen large green houses run almost who'll
ly for the production of flowers for its
own trade, and offers camellias, lilies of
the valley, carnations roses, calla-lilies,
violets, poinsettias, azaleas, etc., in great
masses of bloom at this season daily
in its windows. Another lead
ing house has also large fa-
cilities and luxuriant variety of flowers,
such as formerly could only be pro-
cured at the East. We speak of these
things here for two reasons. One to
show the advance in taste and enterprise
In Cincinnati, and the other to again
emphasize the need of placing the horti-
cultural and floral departments of our
Expositions upon a better footing than
was possible at the display of last year,
owing to the inadequate accommoda-
tions in the building, The horticul-
tural feature is susceptible of being made
one of the leading ones OF future Exposi-
tions, and under proper manipulation
may be made to call in the active coop
Grafton of large proportion Of the sixty
five florists of Cincinnati to help render
it the greatest show Of the kind ever
held in the West. . ,Ia
