II Names "a school After Willis A.
German.


At a special meeting of the board of edu-
cation held last evening bids for furnishing
the new school buildings were received from
the following firms: Burlington School Fur
niture company. Union School Furniture
company, Pennsylvania Slate company,
National School Furniture company, A. H.
Andrews q Co., William S. Combs, Mich
gan School Furniture company, Osgood &
W0lfnger Manufacturing company, Mime
apoIis School Furniture company. On mo
ton of Inspector Kerr all the bids were re-
ferred to the committee on purchases and
supplies for the purpose Of having the bids
which were very complicated, tabulated
with the understanding that the committee
should be called together at some future
time by the president. The board then
went into executive session, all the agents
of the desks leaving the room. Each one
was then called in separately and allowed
five minutes in which to explain the merits
of his desk. At the conclusion of the eX-
plantations the board opened the doors and
resumed regular business.
HE RESIGNS.
William G.. Robertson, who was elected
inspector at the last meeting, sent i'll his
resignation, which was accepted.
NAMING A SCHOOL HOUSE.
Mr.. Willis offered q resolution to the
effect that the new school house to be
erected in the district north of Como
avenue, shall be named the Willis A. Cor
man school Mr.. Willis in Offering it said,
that he did so at the suggestion of Hon.
Henry NJ. Rice. He then referred to Gen.
Germans military and civic career, and ex-
pressed the opinion that such services as he
had rendered the state might well be recog-
nized in this way.
Mr.. Gilbert stated what the course of the
board had been in thisrespect.
Mr.. Kerr said that while his political SEN
timents did not coincide with those of the
late German he regarded him as one of the
most prominent and patriotic citizens of our
state. He could see no improperly in
naming the school building as proposed
Mr.. Gilbert then made a motion to
amend Mr.. Willis motion by calling it the
German school The resolution was so
amended and then adopted. The board
thau adjourned

ADJUSTMENTS.
The Initial Appearance of ssCapt.
NIishIer,,..R Olson 81 Crane.

MishIer,'--RObSOm 81 Crane.
That the Grand opera house was not
packed to the foyer last night was probably
owing to the inclement weather, but the
goOd-SiZed audience that put in an appear
ance was more than repaid by the excellent
nature of the entertainment. AS ranking
among the good comedians of the day, Gus
Williams has always received a cordial well
come at the hands of the ST. Paul public,
and his play, Capt. Mishler,' is fully calcu-
lated to strengthen the already favorable
impression of him.
The play is supplement or sequel to
Zone of the Finest" the only suggestion of
the latter, however, being in the appearance
of the hero, John Mishler, who has been
promoted to the rank of captain. Consid-
cred from a dramatic standpoint, the
present play is far superior to Gone
of the Finest" possessing stirring
plot and an endless variety of interesting
situations. The action of the plot affords a
splendid opportunity for the introduction
by Mr.. Williams of his German dialect &C.
centricities, and as may be imagined, he
succeeds admirably in pleasing his audi
ence. As Capt. Mishler, he is the frank,
bold, daring officer, vigilant in preserving
the peace, the friend of the oppressed and
the relentless foe of the criminal classes.
The action of the play embraces a couple
of murders, two secret marriages, cherub
that was left on Mishler's doorstep and who
turns out to be the daughter of the woman
he marries, and the elements of humOr and
pathos simmer through the play like sill
yer thread. The comedy is of the light,
brothy kind and the bad breaks of the cap
tain and his funny cOntretempS keep the
audience i'll constant roar OF laughter.
The east is very capable, the roles taken by
Mr.. Campbell, MI. Fessler, ME-. King, Miss
WaldrOn, Miss Griffiths, Miss Mexican and
Miss Warren being all cleverly imperson-
ated.
The same play will be repeated tonight,
and at to-morrOw'S matinee and tomorrow
evening the new play, ''Oh, What Night"
will be given for the first time in this city.

Mexican war is also extremely interesting. ~
he was in every battle except Buena Vista,
under both Scott and Taylor. The narrative
of those campaigns as seen by lieutenant who
afterwards became the foremost soldier of
his time, is said by those who have seen it to
be fascinating, even to unmilitary readers,
while the sketches of the great generals in

The action of this jury outrages public
sentiment. The action of the jury proclaims
to the hoodlums and the midnight depreda-
tors that they can purchase immunity from
punishment from the most fendish of mur-
ders by first drinking few glasses of beer.
The action of the Davis jury proclaims to
the peace officers Of Delaware that they are
consummate fools to attempt to arrest a
man who is supposed to be under the
influence OF intoxicants.
The Davis jury proclaimed in favor of
rum, violence and death, and if lawlessness
does not dominate in New Castle County it
will not be the fault of these five jurymen
who trampled under their feet the facts and
law which should have governed them in
the trial of Lewis E. Davis for the murder of
officer Andrew 7. Peterson.

would have been some excuse for him. But
nobody claimed tha rhe had that disease.
He was only devilis4bcnough from the beer
he drank to take somebody's life, and po-
liceman Peterson offered the best available
subject. We hear some excuses offered in
favor of Davis. Some say others as bad as
he have escaped, and why hang DavisP 1t
must be admitted that there has been mis-
carriaged of Justice in the past, but With the
exception of one, there has not been such
diabolical murder in the past as this one.
But even ifthere were that is no excuse now.
When are we to get back into the regular
groove of justice again? Because one or
two men have escaped the penalty their
crimes deserved in the past, are red-handed
murderers still to go free of deserved punish
mentP Ii this state OF affairs is to continue,
let the State Legislat'ae as soon as possible
abolish capital punishment for crime, and
let justice cease to be she subject of farces.

GIadstones' Position.

Though his party will return to parlia-
ment with majority over the combined
votes of Tories and Parnellites, Mr.. Glad
stone will be weaker in the lower
house than during the last parliament HI
is then, in no position to take the Teius Of
government. 1t is quite probable that
certain number of those who ale his profess
ed supporters range themselves on hls side
argely from sentiment Of personal loyalty
to their old L ader.
Undoubtedly the days Of Mr.. Gladstone's !
leadership have gone by. This is especially
true of the present moment. The desire OF
the English people is for vigorous foreign
policy. For this role the great Liberal
leader is utterly unqualified. He has thor.
oughly demonstrated bis ineapacity for that
position. Were there no pressing foreigi
questions demanding Eugland's intervention
the popular feeling would be otherwise, and
Mr.. Gladstones wise home policy would be
welcomed as it deserves. But these are not
the times for temporizng. Heroic action is
demanded. The venerable statesman is out
of place therefore. The partial success o
his party even is due but to negative causes,
namely, the lack on the opposition side
of the appearance os any qualified leader. A
Disraeli or PalmerstOn setting up against
Gladstone in the recent elections would have
swept the British Islands with a tidal vote
of Conservative success. But there is Little
confidence in a Salisbury or such juvenility
indicated in Randolph Churshill.
Under any circumstances a secoud-rate
Tory leader, such as those referred to is
more to the taste of the English people at
this moment of Russian, Egyptian, Turkish
and Burmese difficulties than the leadership
of the grand old man Of Hawarden.

Samuel J. Tllden's letter recommending
that the administration make 5000, 600, 900
raid on the United States Treasury is very
much to be deplOre6. 1t is true that the missive
is not boldly addressed 10 the President and
the recipient uf III letter is only Mr. Oar.
Isle tho speaker Of the Hrnss. Yet the
~ickehness Of il is only too apparent.
Tue aase Of Graystone, we fear is becoming
serile. Nj. Tllden says we require millions
spent on our coast defensas. In sober thought
this is uuquestiOnable tnat We need treasury
lefenses against the million of greedy pilfer-
rrs whose baleiul eyes are set upon Uncle
Sam's Golfers.
1t is pity that S lmual ]. Tilden should
be the one to inst tute such duings. We
had supposed that he, of all men, at this
- isis of Democrats history would give all
| the weight of his counsel and experience N
the direction of needed tariff reform, qu's-
ion which the party has promised to d vote
rs attention to in the coming Congress, aud
to which It's eaders, Randall and Carlisle
have already engaged themselves.
III the bare mention of this alluring pur-
suit rad On the treasury, when condone
by his prominent endorsement, Mr.. Tilden
should realize, few of the Democratic party,
or even any other, will find time for the
perfunctory demands of legitimate legislative
duties. "There are millions in it." The
attention of the party will be absorbed in
the project.
Perhaps the great leader means to toll the
party that if it cannot get full reward, i'm
memorially the rights of the victor, namely,
the spuils Of offce-if the bugbear of Civil
Service Reform, through Bayard's brilliant
foresight, has placed that reward by statute
beyond their reach.

One of the most Interesting memories of
the recent Teachers Institute and one pecu-
lary practical was Dr. kaub's method OF
grammatical analysis as explained by that
gentlemen on the Institute platform.
Now all teachers know very well that this
subject of analysis is the most tantalizing
of all the varied requirements Of teacher
not alone for him himself to qualify in, but
to qualify as an authoritative teacher of it.
Anything that will bring light upon the
subject or simplify it will oe an undoubted
boon. We all know that authorities differ
even upon the most vital points Of the science.
All practical teachers remember how they
have stumbled in this subject. Candor re-
qures straight admission of the strong
light thrown upon the matter by DIR Raul
last week. To some of us his easy ''placing"
of certain difficult passages was nothing
less than revelation Wilmington teach
ers of all kinds and grades know very well
that there are extreme difficulties in the stu
dy, and remember with what trepidation
they dare to make themselves an authority
even to their own class upon certain passa
ses.
DIR. Raub's method of grammatical aualy-
SIS by diagrams is worthy of trial in our
public schools. The methods in use are
detestably intricate, exasperating, and too
often to be questioned in regard
to legitimate conclusion,
1t may be that some of DR.. Raub's exam.
| pies as shown on the blackboard had beer
used before, but they revealed inoontestably
wonderful clealness and capacity for grT
upon the difficult afinties. That is just
what our teachers need, and still more theii
| scholars.
