WEST HAVEN,s SENSATION.
Miss Smith Denies That She Used the Language Attributed to Her About Cleveland.

Language Attributed to Her About Cleveland.
 I West Haven has small sensation to talk about in the trouble between Dr. J. F. Bar ! nett and Miss Hattie Smith, the teacher in I room No. 3 in the Union school house. It is alleged by Dr. Barnett that Miss Smith re- gently told her pupils that Cleveland was so ! drunk on his recent visit to Bridgeport that
 he couldn't make speech. Dr. Barnett is a Democrat. He has said that such language { as that Miss Smith used should not be toler- | ated in 8 school teacher. He says, however, I that had the remarks been about Blaine he
 would have acted the same.
 The school board held meeting in the Town Hall Saturday night. The board con-
 sists of Dr. Barnett, Rev. MT. Striebert, N. M. Andrews, J. F. Treat, C. K Bush and Will
 liam A. Peck.
 Messrs. Barnett, Peck and Bush are the Democratic members of the board, but Bush and Peck were absent from the | meeting and consequently Dr. Barnett had
 to fight the battle single-handed. Miss | Smith was duly summoned before the meet | ing and the charges were read to her.She de- ' nied them energetically and MT. Harlan | affirmed their truth with equal energy. The public were not allowed into the room, but outside in the hallway large number of ! Miss Smiths friends were demanding that | justice be done her. Her particular cham ' pions were James Graham, the brass found ! CT of Wooster street, and Samuel s. Smith, ! her brother. Dr. Painter, without whom a | frst-class West Haven sensation would be | incomplete, was also among Miss Smiths l friends. They claimed. that Dr. Barnett i brought the charges against Miss Smith | because he was 8 Democrat. Some of 1 them went even so far as to threaten to do violence to the person of the physician. The outcome of the meeting was merely the adop- ton of the following resolution:
 Voted, That the acting school visitors are hereby
 instructed to caution teachers against the introduc | tion or discussion during school hours the school grounds of any topic which might give to
 children partisan Sectaran bias, and disregard
 of such caution by said school officers will be deem
 ed deserving of censure by the board of school vis | tors.
 Miss Smith says that the people in West Haven regard it as petty business. She did not use the language. The children had g ! lesson in which Harrison was mentioned and the children mixed him up with Cleve

 THE SEVEN RAVENS.
 The "Seven Ravens" will be produced at Carlrs Opera House Thursday evening and during the rest of the week.

 HAYWOOD.
 Lynwood as presented at Carll's Opera House last evening was worthy of a much larger audience than that which was present It is passionate love story and is deserving of commendation. It contains strong dramatic situations and is we'll constructed The cast of characters is strong and was generally well taken by the company, Miss Maud Granger being especially successful in 8 clear and natural portrayal of the charac- ter she represented. This afternoon there will be matinee and performance will also be given this evening, when we trust there will he large attendance.

4 S1GAcJOUS APPOINTMENT

Secretary Chandler IS displaying sagacity and
energy in organizing the Arctic relief expedi-
| ton. He is not detailing for this hazardous
service officers who are unwilling to co. He is
| restricting his assignments to volunteers, and
in this way is respecting the wishes of the Sen
ate. although that body rcceded from its posi-
ton on this question. The officers who have
been appointed may be deficient in Arctic ex-
peIencc, but they are men OF sound judgment,
and have an excellent reputation in the service.
The gratifying announcement is now made that
Chief Engineer Melville will accompany the ex-
pedition. If we interpret this admirable ap-
pointment Alright he will be the confidential ad-
wiser of the commanding officer. He will be the
supervising engineer of the fleet, and will be on
board the Thetis, where his advice and judg-
ment can be at the service of Commander
Schley. If an emergency arises he can be
placed in command of any sledging party that
may be sent across the ice from the edge of the
pack in Smith Sound to Lady Franklin Bay.
No other officer in the Navy has acquired SO
varied an experience in the Arctic regions as this
hardy and intrepid engineer. He was De
Longs most efficient officer during the Jean
nette cruise and the retreat to the Lena. In all
matters connected with Northern navigation,
the equipment of the expedition, and the con-
dtions of ice travel, his judgment will be of the
highest value. With so experienced an adviser
close at hand, Commander Schley can sail
northwnrd with light heart, assured that
everything that il practicable will be done to
rescue Lieutenant Greely and his companions
The appointment has been made so judiciously
that no jealousy can be aroused between the
line and the staff. The chief engineer will not
be in command of a ship, nor be brought into
unpleasant relations with any Ofcoss of the
line. lie will simply outrank the other engi-

MR.. ROBER7SS LECTURES.

The course of lectures delivered by the Hon.
Ellis Ii. Roberts at Cornell University, is an
important contribution to economic science.
| The argument in favor of Protection has not
been presented in a dogmatic way as a logical
and necessary deduction from ingenious theo-
ries assumed by book writers TO be OF universal
application. His conclusions have been based
upon the actual experience OF nations, and es-
pecaly of the American people. or all
sciences, political economy is the one which
should be taught in a practical, common-sense
wa% without reference to artificial hypothe-
ses, and the stock phrases of the Manchester
school. Mr.. Mill, the greatest of Free Trade
writers, more than once gave away the whole
case, and was forced to admit that experience
offered the supreme test of the validity OF
economic theories. The logic of thought might
be on the side of free exchange of cOmmodl-
ties between nations but the logic of facts might
also indicate that nothing has greater ten
@dency to produce Improvement in any branch
[" of production than its trial under new set of
conditions" 1T cannot be expected" he add
ed " that individuals, at their own cost, should
"introduce new manufacture and bear the
@burdens of carrying it on until the producers
shave been educated up to the line of those
"with whom the processes have become tradi-
tional protective duty, continued for
"reasOnable time, will sometimes be the least
inconvenient mode in which country can tax
g itself for the support for such an experiment"
That was a vital concession made TO practical
experience in opposition to the economic science
of the day. The industrial progress of the
United States during the last twenty-five years
furnishes mass of positive evidence in sup
port of that concession.
Mr. Roberts appeals constantly to the funda-
mental facts of economic experience, and leaves
the theories to shift for themselves. The alb
stract of the eighth lecture, printed on another
page, illustrates his practical method. He con-
trasts the condition of manufactures and the
working classes in the United States and in
Great Britain. He shows that American manu-
factures in annual product already exceed those
of Great Britain by fifty per cent, and that high
wages have made labor productive and lnyen-
tive. He compares current wages in this State
and in England and Scotland, indicating that
they are seldom less than fifty per cent higher
here than there, and are sometimes from one
hundred to one hundred and fifty per cent
higher. He also makes a close comparison OF
prices for commodities and of general living
expenses, showing that for three-fOurths OF the
list the figures are in favor of the United
States These tables afford an adequate expa-
nation of the fact that during the last decade
over million emigrants have left the United
Kingdom to find profitable work and prosperous
homes in this country. The bearing oil the az
gument upon the expediency of Protection Is
unmstakable. There is no logic, after all, like
the logic of facts.
