Me. RUpoIPn FINK has been appointed
receiver OF the Memphis and Little Rock
railroad, and will administer its affairs
pending the settlement Of the present
litigation. which grew ont OF the fact that
the road is controlled by Jay Gould and
Russell Sage and their associates, and 1t
furnishes an important connection be-
tween the Gould Southwestern system and
this city. Mr.. Gould and his trends hold
the Junior securities and stock, the first
mortgage bonds that the company ac-
knowledge as being valid being held by
outside parties, principally in New York.
Some time ago the company's manage
ment sought to secue a reduction OF the
axed charges OF the road, and part OF the
plan was 10 scale down the interest ON the
first mortgage bonds from eight TO six per
cent. THIS proposition was rejected by the
bondholders. and the company then re
fused 10 pay the interest on the bonds. The
default covers about one years interest.
This i,ondholdsTs brought suit against the
company through 7. X. Dow and other
trustees under the mortgage with the re-
suit OF securing the receivership. Some
time ago Judge Caldwell gave notice TO the
company that unless the overdue interest
was met he would place the company in
the hands Of 8 receiver. The outcome OF
the litigation will be watched with inter
est. as Mr.. Gould, It is believed, cannot
afford % yield control OF the Memphis
and Little lack because of its furnishing
his Southwestern system with desirable
terminus in this city, which Is more neces-
sary 10 him than st. Louis as an ail-year
outlet Tor the vast traffic he controls.

Of original stories, from the pens of the most
noted writers in the country, such as w. d.
Howells, j. T. Trowbrdge, E. P. Roe 7. B.

i've than ever-a paper complete in all its
departments, aud one which no person
caring to keep posted upon the
news of the world, and to enjoy the best liter
allure newspaper may command, can afford
to do without. Other arrangements are in
contemplation which will add to the popular
ity and value Of the paper, that will be an
nounced as soon as perfected.

Doing" AS Col. Parker has been charged with
acquiring his educational methods in great part
from Indianapolis, transferring them success
lively to Dayton, o., Quincy and Boston, and
later to Chicago, cur city and State teachers
will take great interest in the doings and say
ings Of this educational iconoclast.
Both the meetings-State and college-will
no doubt be useful and successful. There
will be the usual buncombe and pedantry, in
sepaIable from such associations. Nest of
the male teachers will be known as ''profess-
ors." There will be much windy discussion,
and many theories and hobbies will receive
their annual trotting out and airing. But the
old reliables will be there, conservative and
thoughtful, and many young college or ncr-
NAL school graduate will take his seat much
more quietly and less inflated than he rose.
But the best work will not be done in the
public meetings and set essays 1t will be at
the hotel parlors and in social hooks and cor
ners, where old educational friends meet each
other, exchange ideas, ask about this or that
textbook, or whether so-an1-so would do as
principal or assistant for such and such
school. More than one teacher who does not
know it at the time, will go home with his
goose nicely cooked, and a new and better
position awaiting him, while others will give
themselves away for very small sum.

there-the seductive book agent who captures
some superintendent OF school principal with
his sheer sociability, takes him to the hotel,
feeds him, smokes him, theaters him, presents
editions de luxe at cost to his house of per-
haps 95 cents volume, and finally succeeds
in displacing some good textbook for the new
wares of the agent, and at cost to the county
of more than the teachers or superintendent
salary. But the Journal welcomes them ALL

they will not neglect the morals and the
heart.

P. Size has returned.

THE. administration is very earnestly in
favor of the Spanish treaty. For the second
time Secretary Frelinghuysen has given the
public an argument in its favor, which is
printed elsewhere in full With the Presi-
dents Secretaries claiming the ear of the
country through the medium of the news
paper press, it would seem entirely unneces-
sary for Mr.. Pendleton to push his scheme
to have them on the floor of Congress to ad-
vocate such measures az they may be inter
ested in. When the Secretary Of State can
feel it to be in harmony with his dignity to
do as he has done, there should be no further
foolish nonsense on the part of the Senate
about the discussion of the treaty in public.
This treaty is one the whole people are inter
ested in. 1t has already been given all pos
sible publicity. Its consideration by the
Senate should be with open doors. We want
to hear what arguments can be made in its
favor.

fict, at a time when, to anyone with ordinary
sense, it must have been apparent that the
only result would be hopeless division and the
development of possibly fatal ill-feeling. We
are certain that all Republicans are glad
now, as they have always been, to acknowl-
edge the singleness of purpose and the
wisdom of those temperance men who did all
they could to save both their temperance and
political principles by so acting as to avoid, if
possible, an unnecessary collision between
the two.
That the result to the temperance reform
has been bad, is proved by evidence on all
hands that cannot be ignored, and is acknowl-
edged by such sincere temperance workers as
our correspondent But for this no one is to
blame, except those unwise hot-heads who
so well exemplifed the truth of the adage
that 'fools rush in where angels fear to tread"
We think the Journal can well claim TO be a
friend of temperance reform, and of all other
moral movements for the benefit of man in
dividually and collectively. 1t has proved
its professions by its works, and will
continue to do So though its ways may not be
the ways of those who assume a divine and
exclusive right to the possession and advocacy
of the truth. Surely, nothing is to be gained
for the cause of good government in the future
from any degree of falling out between those
who have hitherto worked together in har-
mony, each abating something of individual
thought and desire for common unit; but it
must be taken into account from the first,
that perfection is not attainable yet in human
affairs, and that to move toward a model
though at times slowly and painfully-is all
that practical men can reasonably expect,
when the factors in the problem are human
beings; and we fear it must also be conceded
that there will always be few with whom
reason will not avail, and who will prefer "to
reign in hell rather than serve in heaven"
The Journal is in entire harmony with what
our friend says as to the direction in which
the future work of the party lies. The result
of the election in Marion county certainly
taught some very plain lessons-lessons, we
believe, that people and party managers have
alike been apprehending, and toward the thor
ough and radical application of which we shall
let US all watch and wait.

as soon as they shall have asccrtained what
their views ere. Under these circumstances
it was not thought advisable to define the
purpose Of the mugwump existence, and the
meeting adjourned after indorsing some high
sounding but very non-committal resolutions.
This was undoubtedly a wise move, viewed
from their own standpoint, but is quite dis.

THE Brooklyn independents wanted to form
a permanent organization, with all the requisite
party machinery to hold them in a compact
body; but when they assembled for this pur-
pose, so many difficulties were found to stand
in the way tl-at the idea was abandoned. AS
first step it was necessary to declare policy
and lay down plan for work, but this was
discovered to- be impossible, for the reason
that the members have no fixed policy, nor
any idea of what they, political organiza-
ton, mean TO do next. All that they could
agree upon was q determination to object to
something or somebody in the public service
whenever they got a chance, and to protest
Igainst all such political movements and gov
gament action as may conflict with their views.

IT was six of one and half dozen Of the

THE "feeling" in Harvard College circles
over the action of the authorities in forbid
ding the students to play football and some
ject in making this ORDER and the dismissal of
two or three professional athletes from posi-
tons as teachers IN the gymnasium is sus-
pected to be that of suppressing a tendency
toward professionalism in this direction on the
part of the students. This Is what makes the
boys so mad. When they can gain hand
some income the first year after leaving school
by joining al base ball club, and must plod and
starve along ten years as doctor or lawyer, this
discrimination against lucrative calling looks
