School Committees and Conclaves

The doings of the School Committee and
the discussions prosecuted in that august
body are of public interest, and of very con-
siderable Importance to all the people of
Portland. Since the organization of the
new board matters of much concern have
been brought before it. Talk has been made
by some of the committeeman about short
ening the High School course, frightening
the Grammar School course, improving the
Primary School course; about abolishing
some studies now prosecuted and introduc-
ing other studies not now 10 the curriculum;
about making many and radical changes in
the existing system. The discussion Of
these mooted matters concerns the people of
this city, and should be made known to
them.
Apparently some members of the commit
tee think otherwise, and look upon their
meetings as conclaves. As they cannot ex-
clude reporters they seek to circumvent the
news-gatherers by holding meetings at un-
announced and unexpected times. They adj
journ from one Wednesday evening to an
other, and then meet secretly Wednesday
afternoon when no reporter has a suspicion
they are in session. These fartive gather
ings can not be tolerated. The meetings Of
The School Committee should be as public
as the meetings of the City Council. The
people of Portland have right to know
what the servants in their employ are doing,
and will insist upon the exercise of that
right.

THERE is nothing small or mean about
Senior Veintimilla, the deposed Dictator Of
Ecuador. His government having been
suppressed and he himself forced to propose
terms in the guise of defeated traitor, he
calmly suggests that be be made Minister
Plenipotentiary to Europe, with the salary
Of field marshal, that his confiscated prop
erty be returned, and his services recognized
by little present to the amount Of $4,000
This is more suggestive of opera bouffe than
of real life.

ALTHOUGH the officials at the State De-
partment are doing their best to prevent any
news from transpiring, it is pretty well
known that the British government is in &C,
tive communication with Secretary Freling
huysen in regard to the rawlings of the New
York Fenian press and corporations of the
alleged Irish-American dynamite conspira
tors. The British authorities are undoubt
eddy anxious that the United States should
engage in kind of crusade for the suppress
sion of the Irish agitators who make this
country their headquarters and base of sup
plies, but there is little likelihood that Nj
Frelinghuysen will consent to take any suct
action. Any conspiracy for the lawless ust
Of explosives could and should be taken cog
nizance of, but with purely political offend
ers the United States will certainly not in
terfere. England has always been the refuge
of Continental proscripts, and the right Of
asylum is as sacred here as there.

THE correspondent who announces that
two thousand persons have been arrested IN
Moscow within the past few days upon the
suspicion Of plotting against the life of the
Gar must, one would think, have been
drawing upon vigorous and unrestrained
imagination for his facts. There is unques-
tionably great uneasiness just now among
the Cars officials, and great activity among
his enemies, but it is hardly possible, even
when due regard is had to the reign of ALSO
lutism and tyranny under which the Rus
sian people live, that two thousand political
arrests should have been made in single
city in a single week. If that or anything
like it is the fact the situation must be far
more serious and the occurrence of the coro-
nation, according to the programme. far
more uncertain than previous dispatches
have indicated.

TO-DAY win be observed as time of
feasting and merry-making rather than as

emphasizes the lesson.

SOME one in France has followed up the
recent statistics concerning wild beasts and
snakes in India with further particulars. He
says that as many as 10000 deaths occur an
nually in India from snake bites, and that
since 1870 from 10000 to 100000 persons
have persisted in this way. India possesses
more deadly snakes than any other country.
In 1880, PIP, rs serpents of all kinds were
destroyed, and rewards, amounting in all to
14,663 rupees, were paid to their destroyers.
In 1881, wild beasts caused the death Of
5757 persons, as against 2S10 in 1880, and
the number of animals killed by them any
year is enormous. Leopards are, he thinks,
the farmers worst foes, and tigers rank
next; but the wolves are but little less de-
structiye.- In 1881, 1861 tigers and 1897 leo
pards were killed.

THE fat is said to have gone forth from
the Vatican that no Irish priest who has
taken leading part in the recent political
agitation need hope to wear the bishop
mitre. This statement, however, is one
which must be received with some reserve
The rulers of the Catholic Church are, and
have been all along, laudably and wisely
anxious to keep the Church out of the
trouble, and they have done their best to
hold the Irish priest aloof from the contest
but it behooves them to be careful lest they
go to the other extreme, for If the idea once
takes possession Of the Irish mind that the
Pope is making bid for British good will,
Pats loyalty to his creed will be dangerous
ly tried. Such decision as that announced
would be impolitic, and it has probably not
been made.

THE statistics of immigration to the Unit
ed States during the month of March last
are no less suggestive than surprising. One
is prepared to learn that the greater number
of immigrants hailed from Germany, but
that the Teutons outnumbered all the 9th
ers by four to one is a piece of news for
which not many people will be prepared.
No fewer than 1859 Germans arrived in
this country last month, and in view of such
AN outpouring as this, it is no wonder that
Prince Bismarck regards the outgoing move
ment with disfavor and apprehension. Il
bids fair to depopulate the Fatherland if it
goes on; and were 1t not to a considerable
extent Offset by the exceptional fertility of
the German race, would already have made
serious reduction in the number of En-
peror Williams subjects.

good thing for a boat that desires tC

used without turning the boats head
to the shore, which is acknowledged
BY all river men.
