News thinks none but "school men"
are eligible to the office of examiner.
He is very nearly correct, except that
perhaps that numerous and popular
class known as "school women"
might have been included. He
says:
The question should be: Is he a
school man. Does he know the busi-
ness2 Is he an expert?
These are the questions as to the
examinership, and answered salts
factorily, imply fitness also for the
accomplishments of secretary and
treasurer, but not necessarily. AS a
matter of fact, it is more than prob
able that a superior scholastic, like a
talented musician, or "tip-top
hteratus," is an inferior business
man.
The JOURNAL will be glad to join
the News correspondent in an agita-
tation looking to an amendment of the
law separating the offices and dis
tributing them, say as follows:
The Secretaryship to one Com
missioner.
The Treasurership to another
Commissioner the third Commission
er to be made President Of the Board.
The Examinership to a scholastic,
not too learned to descend to the
performance of the duties contem-
plated by the common school law
of the State.
The reasons for this change are
obvious. A good presiding officer, a
competent secretary and a response
BILE treasurer, are safe trinity in
any business. The examiner thus
left undisturbed by the perplexities
of'the vulgar affairs of building and
repairing school-houses, selecting
sites, watching janitors, ETC., may go
on and keep up with the 'very age
and body of the times" in developing
and expanding the office and mission
of the public school system.
Other reasons are equally COM
mendable. Each officer will be a
check upon the Others. The presi-
dent, with general oversight, will
conserve the operations of the whole
body. The secretary will record,
and issue demands upon the treasurer.
The treasurer will pay accordingly,
each knowing that he is acting with
joint authority under ajoint response
bility. The examiner will be reliev-
ed of that business monstrosity-
the making and payment of drafts
upon himself.
In this arrangement the expenses,
$1,7S6.37, taking last year as an ex-
ample, need not be materially en-
larged. In order, however, to obtain
good officials, there should be ade-
quate pay for the service required.
The president should have enough to
compensate for time and labor given
to the business affairs of each school ;
the examiner for the inspection, ex-
animation and oversight of the educa-
tional interests of each school, and
the secretary and treasurer for office
work. Whatever amount the eX-
penses exceeded those of the present
regime we believe would be fully in
IDENTIFIED by augmented efficiency of
the system and the consequent salts
faction of tha taypayars

THE commissioners appointed by
President Arthur under the anti
poly gamy act of last year have SUBJ
mitted their second annual report.
They review the laws passed for the
suppression of polygamy and the re-
suits accomplished by the recent leg
islation, the most important being
the disfranchisement OF persons living
in polygamic relations. They be-
lieve this provision of the law will be
influential in working out the object
aimed at. They repeat the sug-
geStions made last year with refer
rnce to further legislation, and recon-
mend that the marriage ceremony in
the Territory be required to be per-
formed publicly, and to be made
matter of record.

A FOREST TWENTY FEET UNDER
GRoUND.-A remarkable discovery
was made in Washington Wednesday
by the workmen engaged in digging
the foundation for the new Casino
building on Connecticut avenue. In
the northwest section of the founda-
ton, where an excavation 23 feet
thick, has been made through bank
Of red and black clay IL feet thick,
the diggers hit upon what is pro-
nounced to be u dense forest of trees
and thick growth of plants. The
formation of the trees is perfect. They
resemble ash, cedar and poplar, and it
has probably been thousands of years
since they saw the light of day.
Hundreds of people have visited the
spot and many specimens of the trees
and grass carried away as curiositles.
One piece of wood and a clump of
grass were sent to the White House.

PERSONAL LIBERTY.

Endorsement of Hon. Geo. Benz, Presi-
dent, and the Special Committee.
The following report of a meeting of the
executive committee of the Personal Lib
erty league explains itself:
In the meeting of the executive commit
tee of the Society for the Protection of
Personal Liberty, held March 4, an article
was read, contained in the VOlkSEeitung
of March 1, preferring malicious charges
against our society and especially against
our president, Mr.. Geo. Benz, which arti-
Gle was headed ''Satterlee and Benz" 1t
was unanimously
Resolved, That we protest most
theoretically against any such vio-
lent, personal and unjustifable at
tacks upon US, and especially
upon the character of our honored presi-
dent, Mr.. Benz.
| We herewith assure all readers of said
article that the acts of Mr.. Benz were in
com plete accord with the views of the
committee up to the close of the session
of the legislature. All that was done in
the legislature through the efforts of the
president, Mr.. Geo. Benz, and of the COM
mittee, was undertaken solely in the in
terest of the Society for the Protection of
Personal Liberty.
The unfounded accusations, therefore
against Mr.. Benz, must be branded as ma
licious and personal in their nature. We
furthermore declare that we authorized Mr.
Benz and his special oommittee-on the
superstition of seeing a license law passed
during this session-to advocate only suct
, a one as would, in their estimation, no
antagonize the interests of the liquor deal
ers and saloon keepers.
Their success has shown that the efforts
: of our committee, and of the presid emf
: Mr.. Geo. Benz, were made in the right di
e rection.

truth is. if some one did not point out to

let and one button rom a soldiers coat;
that is all. But on the earthworIIs near
Manassas, under peach tree, while

these two facts. What other battles,
what other races ad fought for the
fields Of Virginia PES and ages before?
Not many peer, come to visit this
battlefield. I haT seen a thousand at

The great trench where the dead were
buried on this slopiug nil, Immediately
under where StonewalI jackson sat his
horse during the battle, is still trench.
This is a sore that refuses to heal. It
has become a little drain orriyulet. The
bones of the dead were mostly taken
away at the close Of the war; aud this
opened the trench anew. This portion
of the battlefield is a pasture now, A
little line of trees has grown along the
banks of this trench. Under these rank
young trees a good many sleek-spotted
cattle stood yesterday chewing the cud
and IaziIy switching flies. You never
hear Il sound of any kind around here
at all, no coming and going Of carriages
as at Waterloo and other great battle
fields of Europe. The trees are turning
a little red in the blush of early autumn.
There IS a hazy gray atmosphere over
all here which makes the stiffness seem
more still; a weary Ghost of the smoke
Of war. In the corners Of the old Vir-
ginia worm fences the wild berry grows
rank and red, as if dripping with blood.
The very earth is red, as if the bosom of
mother earth bleeds perpetualIy for her
brave dead who fell in the battle here.
