SECRETARY CHANDLER has been MAX
ing fool of himself. There cannot be
much question that the antics attributed
to him at the Arnold lecture resulted
from intoxication. Speaker Carlisle was
to introduce Arnold to the lecture au-
dience but sent letter of regret. The
duty then fell Cd Chandler, who, after
reading Carlisle's letter as Introductory of
Arnold, announced that he was sorry
Carlisle was chosen speaker. After the
lecture he called upon some celebrated
men present to answer Arnold and put
him down." The audience felt deeply
mortified and naturally, Arnold was in
oignant. Nobody responded to Chand-
Ier's maudlin appeals for reply to the
lecture.

THE hypocrisy of the republican party
was we'll exemplified by the election of
the officers of the U. S. senate on Tues
day of last week. Leading republicans
tried to have it appear that the legisla-
ton looking toward civil service reform
was their act and still at the re organiza-
ton of the senate every democratic officer
was turned out and republican substi-
tuted. When tainted by the democrats
for the inconsistency in their professions
and practices, Sherman, who acted as
the mouthpiece of the party, said he had
no apology to make; the democrats
would do the same thing if they had the
power. This is civil service reform as
practiced by republicans. Even the
chaplain was changed so that the throne
of grace might be addressed by the or
thodox voice of republican. The N.
Y. Tribune hastens to defend the repub-
licans and in some cases, says the change
to republicans was for the benefit of the
service; in others it was ''matter of
sentiment justifable, etc."

THERE can be no question but that the
hanging of O'Donnell has been a very
unwise thing for the British government.
The most general belief is that he acted
in self defence, and the best opinion is
that the verdict of the jury was secured
through incorrect instructions of the
judge. This the jury practically admits
aud had time been allowed the true ma
ture OF the verdict would be fully shown.
O'Donnell was rushed to execution with
unseemly haste, the whole world enter
tanning serious doubts of his guilt. 1t is
not question of Irish politics, but one
of humanity. If the death of Carey was
premeditated by O'Donnell, he suffered
the just penalty of his crime. If he
acted in self defense the deed had no re-
lation to Irish matters. The thirst for
O'Donnell's blood and the seeming de-
termination to hang him innocent or
guilty, diverts attention from his crime
and fixes it upon the crime of the gov.
eminent. But this judicial MURDER
for such England has made it, whether
O'Donnell was worthy of death or not
is not subject for the denunciation of
Irishmen as such. If O'Donnell acted
in self defense he acted as human nature
dictated and not as an Irish patriot. If
he was the agent of the Invincibles he
set his life against Carey's and paid the
price of his act, heroic it might be.

subject Omitted States" The n. Y.
Herald shows that the constitution itself
uses the word Omitted States as a
plural subject, and still these rampantly

An Enterprising Architect.

Adjoining one end of the royal
palace of Naples, which is the future
home of the Crown Prince is the theater
of San Carlo, which has an interesting
story. When Charles Ill. was King of
Naples he issued orders for the most
magnificent theater of Europe to be
built in the shortest time possible.
Angelo Carasale, a Neapolitan architect,
offered to complete it in three months,
and by great effort and energy actually
did so. On the opening night, the
King sent for the architect to come to
the royal balcony, and there publicly
commended his work, adding that only
one thing was lacking, and that was a
private door and staircase leading
from the palace into the theater for the
use of the royal family. The architect
bowed low, and retired that the play
might begin. When the play was
finished, the architect again appeared
before the King, saying, Your Majes-
tvs wish is accomplished, and pre-
coded the astonished monarch to a
private entrance in one end of the
theater. In the three hours that the
acting had engaged the Kings atten-
ton, the untiring architect had col
lected his workmen, and by almost
superhuman effort had completed his
task. He had torn down partitions
and laid huge logs of wood for
stairway; but elegant velvet carpets
and beautiful curtains concealed the
rough floors and defaced walls, while
a skillful arrangement of handsome
mirrors and chandeliers produced a
magical effect, and made the whole
seem the work of fairy hands. After
ward, the entrance was properly finish
ed, and last summer l walked from the
palace through the private door, and
stood IN the royal balcony where the
King had received the architect nearly
one hundred and fifty years before
So. Nicholas for December.

Wealth of ENGLAND.

Since the days of the Stuarts the In
crease of wealth in England has been
more rapid than the increase of popu-
lation. In 1860 the wealth of England
and Wales was equal to f45 per head
in 1872 it was Ely, and last year f249.
Public wealth has quadrupled since the
Waterloo epoch, and doubled since the
accession of Queen Victoria. Since
1910 wealth has increased four times
more rapidly than population, which
led Prof. Levi to remark that they dis
proved the Malthusian theory, SO far as
England was concerned.

George Kaspar,
From the above it will be seen that
thirteen pupils have attended school less
than half of the term, occurring at time
most favorable to attendance; that thir-
teen others have attended little more
than half the term, and that twenty nine
have attended more than three-fourths
OF the term. My experience here goes
to prove that the deplorable record OF
the twenty six, with few exceptions, is
as favorable as will be their record al
any future term unless a great change
be made, and also convinces me that the
future record of the twenty nine will
equal, if not surpass, the above credit
able showing.
Will some parents awake to sense OF
their duty2 will they rise out of their
apathy and learn that short and irregu.
lar attendance insures an unsymmetrical
and poor education2 Will those parents
initiate the example of the parents OF
those children whose attendance is good
and whose attainments it is pleasure tc
think Off These are questions that
can not answer. But, parents, it is in
your power to answer them in the affir-
native. Let us hope that the future will
dispel your Indifference and thus Tighten
the life burdens of your children.
