The principal Of high school at South

the idea Of giving the pupils a course of
instructions in practical politics. Candi-
dates for electors for each Ofthe Presiden-
tial aspirants were appointed, natural
izatiOn papers issued, election managers
sworn in, and four hours devoted to
the ballOting. Everything went of quietly
and the teachers were delighted at the
manner in which the future voters de-
meaned themselves. When the votes
were counted, however, it was discovered
that there were some fifty more ballots in
the box than there were pupils in the
school, including the girls. The boys
evidently knew more about practical pol
Itics than the teachers themselves did,

Talkatiye MIIIionaIres.

Mr.. Vanderbilt again favors the news

To have become an advertising business.
Mr.. Vanderbilt, Mr.. Gould aud men OF

ity he gives to the SPECTATORS views.
Certainly he would hardly be so silly as
to publish columns Of Mr.. Vanderbilt's
talk without being paid for 1t, in view OF
the worthlessness Of Mr.. Vanderbilt's
facts and fancies. There is no value in
his utterances, except as they indicate
whether his interests require call for
prices to 60 up or down. To this ex-
tent they are valuable, to those who de-
sire to buy or sell stocks that they may
act as they are advised not TO act. III
Mr.. Vanderbilt was somewhat smarter
he would not say what he wants
people to do; and then they would
he more likely to act as he
desires. Both he and Mr.. Gould
have earned so we'll deserved rep
utations for talking as they do not think
that 1t would pay them now to express
their real opinions. Mr.. Gould and Mr.
Vanderbilt now say that stocks are a
good purchase, while 1t is confidently
believed that they want to sell. Mr.
Vanderbilt declares that New York
Central stock is better than government
bonds, which have nothing behind them
but the public faith but Mr.. Wander
bilt did not act up to this opinion few
years ago, when he sold many millions
of Central stock and bought fift.

he is not yet known to have sold and re

Mr.. Vanderbilt is shown to be speakin

railroad securities which have been s
heavily watered that they are not abl'
now TO earn dividends upon their intla
