The Washington Star says: 1.-The sys-
tematic effort of Mr.. Conkling's friends to
drag Secretary Blaine into the Robertson
imbroglio as the responsible party has in
it an element OF obvious and intended dis
respect TO the President which is doubt
less fully understood and appreciated.
The design is to represent the President
as an innocent. good-natured man, with
out will or settled purpose. deficient in
nerve and backbone. controlled and di-
rected by subtle and dexterous secreta-
ry, who acts from motives OF personal re-
venge on party leaders and former rivals.
Passing by this reckless imputation upon
the Secretary of State, it may be remarked
that the President, in a fight with "boss-
ism." is not likely himself to be "bossed."
President Garfield is the head of his adj
ministration rs decidedly as Jackson was
the head of his. No President ever
stepped more promptly into positive con-
troll than he; nor did any administration,
within the memory of this generation. ev-
er get into complete running order with
so little delay and friction as this one. 1t
will be well for all parties interested to
know and to realize that President Gar
field is endowed with the rare genius of
rulership. He evades no responsibility,
and is controlled by no subordinate. His
relations with every member of his Cabi
net are most cordial; but the head of the
table is where McGrepor sits on

discrepancy in accounts of the board as far

appointed to look over the
books IA vouchers were also taken, but of
$500 exposed in the safes, not cent was
taken.
Mr.. Stewart secretary of the board,
claimed that an examination of the books,
when found, would not disclose any deficien-
cy. He had no idea who took the books, or
their motive. Two motives are advanced for
the robbery; one, to influence legislation on

ALBANY. june 8. In the Senate remon-
strances were presented against the re-elec-
ton of Conkling and Platt; also petitions
from Binghampton in favor Of their re-elee
ton.
Winslow presented circumstances from
Watertown citizens against the return of
of Conkling and Plat, and spoke at length
with reference to the senatorial question. lie
argued that Conkling had done nothing to
warrant the attacks being made upon him,
but now that he was stripped of his official
robes the pennya-liners and ribald press
indulge in misrepresentation of the great
statesman. He predicted the reelection of
Conkling by the present legislature. In Conk-
liny's senatorial career the people have felt
Just pride for his Jealous fidelity to their best
interests.
Pitts said that no one can but smile at the
position in which Senator Winslow has plac-
ed himself The entire speech is devoted to
an excuse for the action of Conkling in re-
signing his place in the United States Senate,
and giving control of that body over to the
democrats. He (Winslow) had voted for
the resolution asking the United States SEN
ate to confirm Robertson as collector, and yet
this senator (Winslow) is found this morning
excusing Conkling for resigning because such
confirmation was made.

nary pieces of school apparatus Are
the grounds rendered attractive by
grading and shade trees Is the
school house in perfect order? Is the
fence in good condition ? Ifthe school
house and surroundings are deficient
10 any Of these defects, or in others
which the mention Of these may sug-
gest, measures should be taken to
