New CUgE FOR RHEU NAfISM- - 4

was kept III that position sixty-iive days

progressing, and high hopes of cure
were entertained, but the unfeeling pa
tient insisted upon dying before he could
he cured. This unfortunate end to the
experiment will perhaps prevent the gen
eral adoption Of the new "aier-cure'
but it is unhappily the case that such
casualties occur quite frequently Just
when the doctors have perfected Al lhtal-

stupid people. who know nothing what

the experiment was failure. These are

Public Schools versus Private
Schools.

Johnson, of Herritfs paper, continues
to make war upon the private schools m
this city He wants all the children of
the city to 90 to the public schools. He,
nor any one else, can ever succeed IN
compelling the friends of the Episcopal
school to take their patronage from that
excellent institution, which now has an
attendance of over 100 scholars. Nor
will this villifier's argument persuade the
t5inaisff Ifhfh Stsitstr--n -nrst |cilss ,rsia1hai-
ment of learning, which has an attend
ance of III scholars Ar- Lamarshs
school, with G5 scholars, has ever been
considered the best school for boys IN tine
city, and in spite of all the maiignity
with which this paper indirectly perse-
cutes these private schools, it has not
succeeded to inspire its readers with con-
fdence as to its sincerity on that question,
and in spite of its false accusations Will
these institutions of learning, as Well as
other private schools not herein mrn
toned, flourish. There Is no need OF
getting alarmed The U,aon, so long as
it is edited by such small fry As at pre-
sent, is harmless and without the least
influence. As has often been proved, no
matter what IT may say or do. Now,
when 1t u known, which this irresponsI
bic educator O. does not know, that the
1 100 children drawing school money are
taken from the ages of 4 and under Il
wears that the school. law provides that
all children under q years, at certain
times, shall not attend, and that very few
over 10 wears attend school at all, and
deducting the attendance Of the support
ers of private schools as above stated, II
must appear TO tn. intelligent class that
an attendance Of nearly 800 out Of the
!, 100 persons drawing school money, Is
more than fair average. The buildings
in school district "a are suitable, roomy,
and the school is Acknowledged to be the
best in the county. iowever, t. slander
Driyate schools is not calculated I" raise
the standard Of paper, and the patron
aye should be Withdrawn FROM all such
drfamers.

Money Never Called kOr.

Postmaster general James passed yes
terday in New York as short relief t"
his arduous duties at Washington He
declined to discuss politics or give any
information relative to pending cabinet
changes to the Star reporter last evening,
but stated some facts regarding post-otice
management.
Perhaps you do not know" he said,
"that there is al excess of 81 500, 900 IN
the sub treasury here which represents
really the amotnt or money oruefS ,4---
claimed. New York is the general clear
ING house Of the money order system, and
that am.unt includes all other money
order offices in the United States.
"Why is it that so much money re-
mains unclaimed 2
"From various reasons ; chiefly IRON
misdirection Of the money orders.
Many people who send noney are care
less as to the address, so that it IS never
received. in other cases, people receive
the money orders, and instead OF cashlng
them at once they keep them IN their
nockets and lose them. Many OF those
who receive money orders are foreigners
with slight understanding Of the language,
and don't know how to have them
csshe3. There, are a great number of
w.vs in which this accumulation may
have occurred. Il is, Ill fact, not very
LARGE amount considering that It includes
all the United States, and hiss been accu-
mplatine for seventeen years, since .he
postal order system was instituted
Scan old money orders be cashed a,
any time T.
"Oh, Yes. There is no limit as t"
the time, and if you print these facts IN
the Star 1 doubt not there will be large
number of old ones presented for pay
msut There has already been state
ment about the matter, and postmaster
Pearson and agree that there will be
probsbly 500, 600 of the 81 500, 900 re-
claimed at once.
The postmaster-general during this
conversation was preparing to return {"
Washington, and at its close took a cab
for Jersey City, whence he departed on
the Z 30 train.-N. y. S,1'.

Newspapers and their Prices.
The Gsily sf rrytax 60 Pabit>h . CAeap
Paper and Aake m Sastsfarsofy.

There has been some talk of late in the
Kansas City papers and others in that
neighborhood about cheap papers, caused
by the reduction in the subscriptior, price
of the Kansas City Times and the Topeka
Commonwealth We presume the pro
prietors of both papers had some good
reason for reducing the price OF their
papers one-half. They say by the act
that if they can now afford TO furnish
their papers at s. year, they have
heretofore been prscticing e1tortion upon
their subscribers by charging $40. This
is the conclusion which many people will
reach
For some years the managers of the
Times conducted it entirely upon the sen
sational basis This coming to an end,
As sensational papers always do, and the
paper falling back upon its merits as
newspaper, it finds its competitor outstrip-
ping it in the race. The cheap dodge
was resorted to to enable the paper to re
gain lost ground, but it viii not win
One of two things must result from the
reduction; either the paper can not
spend the money upon its pages necess-
sary to make it good newspaper, or 1t
will die The folly Of trying to run
$40 newspaper on So has been tried over
and over again and has always resulted III
a break down OF funeral. No merchant
can long do business by selling goods for
less than they cost him. No newspaper
can long be continued ON other than
sound business principles. 1t costs Just
about SO much to run 4 first-claSs paper,
and when the subscription price is put
down TO one-half, sensible people at once
that the paper has dropped
down to a cheaper class, or is on the
road to decay. Ii is Just so with country
weekly papers We have seen a great
many try TO live at 81 per year, but have
never known one to succeed. They are
always short-hred We mean these who
put expense enough upon their compost
tion to make them worthy to be called
We were little surprised
when We heard that the Times had
adopted The cheap dodge to keep up its
evidently waning fortunes. We make
the prediction now that it will either die
OF change hands soon, or else become a
mere cheap excuse of its former self.
