DEATH or ENERSON

DEATH OF GABRSON.
The funeral Of Ralph Waldo Emer-
son took place on Sunday last at Con-
cord, Mass. There was large attend
ance Of distinguished men and women
sndhis neighbors attended en- masse.
Emerson has long held the place Of the
foremost American thinker. He was
great, too, as poet, though not pepu-
lar with the people generally. Like
Walt Whitman, he broke new ground
and sowed new seed. and his influence
% poet will be greatest in stimulat-
ing other poets. He was the life long
friend of Lengfellow, and the coinci-
dence in their death is another remark
able one. Both caught severe cold
about the same time and died within a
few days Of each other.
While America mourns the loss Of
two of her greatest men, England is
mourning the loss Of her greatest sci
enlist, Darwin. The old adage is
that ''great men come in groups. -
Another one should be added that:
great men depart in groups.''

THE CHINENE.

"Cheap Chinese labor'' is a false cry.
They get 81. is per day and transporta-
ton. etc., for work on the railroad,
and Chinese Landowner get better pay
than laundrymen of other nationalities
in California. The cheap labor cry is
q fraud. They demand as much rs
others, but live on less, and thus get
ahead. And hero is their crime (?)-
Austin Transcript.
The same is true of the German and
Scandinavian elements. They ask as
much rs Others for their labor but live
on less and therefore get ahead faster
than any other foreign elements. But
really, the labor question has very
little to do with this ''feol" movement
to exclude the Chinese. Millions of
them are needed to build railroads,
work the mines and develop the
West. Moreover, they will aid us in
introducing many new features into
skilled and other labor.
The movement is due mainly to pref
udice. First, he is ''heathen,'' or
what the bigots call a heather, and
don't help support sectarian theology.
This is the motive with large class Of
opponents. Secondly, he has mary a
politic." rs Artemus Ward said. He
cannot be used by the political parties,
as he does not vote, and hence lie has
few or no friends among the politi.
tians.
The debates in Congress show that
the question there is mainly 4 partizan
one. Both parties want to secure the
vote OF the Pacific States by pandering
to race prejudice.

The Mankato Review, in alluding to
tho tramp nuisance, says:
Rochester has provided 4 stene pile,
where they are made to work, and tho
result is that that city is comparative
" free from them. From the number
already found upon our streets it would
seem that similar institution could
be used to good advantage here.
Our village has already entertained
q number Of tramps this season and
the suggestion has been made that
they hereafter be put to work to pay
fox lodgings, etc. Certainly there
can be no wrong in putting them to
work on our streets to pay for taking
care Of them. We hope the Council
will give US a good tramp ordinance
also.

EDUCATIONAL DEPARTMENT.
NJ. A. DOANE, Editor.

The members of tho Institute are
unanimous in q vote Of thanks to State
Supt. Kishle for appointing Profs.
Boutelle and Kirk to this place. They
won the hearts Of all.
We have received numerous inquiries
from young ladies, of course-as to
whether Profs. Kirk and Smith are
married. How heavily our age and
in6rmities seem to hang upon Us!
The County Teachers Association,
organized at the Institute, meets at
Adrian the last Saturday in May. All
the teachers of the county are consid-
cred as members. It is proposed that
we initiate movement for q library at
that meeting.
Personally, the Co. Supt. extends his
warmsst thanks to Profs. Boutelle,
Kirk and Donovan for tho extra assis-
lance given him during the Institute.
Also to Prof. G. T. Pope, who, as
Secretary, handed in the fullest and
clearest report of proceedings that we
have ever met-and we have met them
by dozens.
The success of our Institute, of
which we all feel proud, may he cred
tied to the Professors and officers with
a great deal OF justice, but it is to the
teachers who attended that the life
and interest of the Institute belongs.
That the teachers were not idle, was
shown by the industrious use of note
books. That the points noted, the info
rmation gained, was not fergo, ten, ap.
peared at the examination.
The teachers and members Of the
Institute return earnest thanks to the
Trustees Of the Congregational Church
for their kindness in giving the use of
the church for evening lectures. Also

To the ladies ard gentlemen who gave
us the music. To the citizens who
furnished the enjoyable reception which

It's alleged that the block system"
OF running trains, in use on the Pennysyl-
vania road, and strongly advocated for the
New York Central Immediately after the
Spuyten Duyvil disaster, is not as effec-
tive as it is claimed to be- The n. Y.
Central, on some portions of its line uses
the ''time board" system, by which. ut
stations four or five miles apart, the time
of passing of every train is conspicuously
posted so that the engineer of any follow
ing train knows the time of passage OF the
train ahead. In support of this system
it is claimed, from published reports in
the Railway Gazette, that between Dec.
L. 1880, and Nov. so. 1881. there were 9
rear collisions IN the n. Y. Central. and
20 on the Pennsylvania. But, even with
the most perfect automatic arrangements.
it is evident that some sure means must
be taken to guard against accident from
an unexpected stoppage of a train-either
by using some signals like rockets, or
the rear brakeman to go
certain sufficient distance back, not leav-
ing it to his judgment to 60 as tar as he
may feel like doing.

The Barring Brothers.
SKETCH or ruE GREAT ENGLISH BANKING
FAMILN-THEIR EARLY H,sroRr, Ere


The Barring. have been among the most ia
nous of English bankers. They are Of Ger
man stock. There is a kind of ecclesiastical
flavor about them. Their English founder
was Bremen pastor, who settled in this
country. His grandson married the niece Of
an English Archbishop. One of his dc scent-
ants became Bishop of Durham. The money
was originally madclin the rich, profitable,
clothing business in the west of England.
Ashburton gave title in the peerage to the
chief of the house Of Barring. II has been q
rule in the House that when any one of
them has got title he goes ont of busi-
ness.
Sir Francis Barring, the first great banker
who, dying in 1910, left fortune of two
millions, had three sons-Thomas, Alexan-
der and Henry. Thomas, succeeding to the
baronetcy, gave up the business. Henry
had rather romantic reputation as
lucky gambler, who was frequently able to
break the bank Of gambling table. He was
the amazement of beholders when he would
sit dswn at "A gambling table at the Paais
Royal-before such tables were happily abol-
ished-with piles of gold and notes before
him. The reputation Of successful gambler
was hardly suited to the intense respectable
ty of the firm, and Mr.. Henry was induced to
| retire from the business. Alexander Barring,
often known as Alexander the Great" sus-
tained and extended the fortunes of the House.
He went to America, and the richest banker in
England married the dau ghter of the richest
citizen of the United States. One of his gi-
gantic transactions possesses a historical i'm
portance. After the conclusion Of the great
European war he paid down a sum of El ,l00,-
900, by which France was freed from the oc-
cupation of Russian, Austrian and German
armies. There are six great powers in
Europe" said the Due de Richelieu-"Eng-
land, France, Russia, Austria, Prussia and
Barring Brothers" In 1895 he was made
Lord Ashbdrton. Two of his sons held the
title, and each successfully retired from the
business. The head of the firm, Thomas
Barring, became Chancellor Of the Exchequer
in Lord Mclbourncs ministry, and an
other member, Lord Northbrook, has been
Governor General OF India.

Wonderful Organization of the
German Army.

Sir Frederick Roberts is said to have the
pleasantest "reminiscences of his visit 10 Ger

country, at the autumn man9uvers of the
Hanover and Schleswig Holstein Army Corps,

he was favorsbly impressed, but it was the
German army as military machine Of abso-
lnte perfection that filed him with wonder.
To such perfection has its organization been
brought that in one night any army corps
can be modified. He was told that in the
bureau of the general staff. letters were
ready. stamped and addressed 70 every de-
partment and commanding officer of the sew
