The 5nurnaI and Onmrier
THE SCHOOL TICKET.

At the meeting of the committee appoint
 ed to nominate school ticket last evening
 an excellent ticket was chosen. Two of the
 members of the Board of Education whose
 terms expire this year were renominated,
 and two new men-Messrs. Philo s. Bennett
 and Charles E. Graves-were selected.
 The ticket speaks for itself. MT. O'Brien
 has been the most independent and fearless
 member of the Board. He has not only acted
 with courage, but with discretion. He has
 been uniformly opposed to the unnecessary
 expenditure of the public money, while in
 favor of all proper and needed improve
 ments. He has never been afraid to resist
 the encroachments of the ''one man power,''
 concerning which there has been
 such general and just complaint
 He has by his action in the Board won the
 approval of all who have watched his course,
 and deserves the endorsement of hearty re-
 election.
 MT. Horace H. Strong has also been one of
 the most efficient and independent members
 of the Board. He and MT. O'Brien have very
 generally acted together in opposition to ex-
 travagance and the undue assumption of au-
 thority by the able and astute young super intendent. MT. Strong has repre- sented a very important portion of the school district, and his immediate constituents can do no better than to vote to continue that representation MT. Strong is in thorough sympathy with the l movement which resulted in his nomination. MT. Philo s. Bennett needs no introduc- tion to the people of New Haven. He is one of the most successful of the young business | men of the city. He is gentleman of much force, of sound judgment and marked inde- pendence of thought and action. He will 1 make a very valuable member of the Board l Few men in New Haven are better fitted i by capacity and education to fill the place for l which he is nominated than MT. Charles E. l Graves. He is graduate of Yale college, !, has lived in this city for many years and has | taken an active interest in public move
 ments. As President of the Young Mems | Institute he has done much toward the build | ing up of that library, and has also been con 1 spicuous in the movement for free public 1 library. He is g member of the Board of Aldermen, and has been fearless, indepen- dent and non partisan in his devotion to the I interests of the city.
 This is the ticket It is not, as the unself- | ish and disinterested opponents of the move | ment have said it would be, revolutionary | ticket. Two members of the old Board are l on it, and the other two are gentlemen who | can be relied upon as friends of conserva- 1 tive reform.
 It may also be we'll to say that this ticket is not, as the young superintendent insinu- l ates, an attack upon the High School and the teachers salaries. It simply represents a desire for wholesome economy and sound management

After the Hull Fight in France.

From MacmlllanS MaSaZlne.
 How the multitude of men and women cheered and shouted and waved their caps and handkerchiefs as the banderillas were planted upright in the quivering hide, and when the bull leaped the barrier In a tri-
 bune reserved for the notables of the district were several ladies whose rich toilets showed all the caehet of the Rue de la Paix. These
 ladies must have had southern blood, for
 their beautiful dark eyes grew round and
 gleamed with excitement. If they had
 known that the bull would have driven his
 horn through the mans body, they could not have raised their fans before their faces 50 fascinating is the horrible, so intoxicat- bloodshe to these meridionals. The assem- blaze was thoroughly mixed one, repre- senting all classes of society in the province; but not cry of pity, not an indignant pro test was heard as the barbed darts were thrust into the necks of the bulls. People who could witness such acts of barbarity unmoved except by the excitement of the intelligence and agility would, fear, have been equally eager to see the end of the spectacle had horses been disem- boweled and bulls slaughtered in real Span ish fashion. But the last Spanish bull fight in France took place only few months before my visit to Dax. There was such an agita- tion in Paris in consequence of some unusu- ally revolting courses Espegnolles at Mines that the minister of the interior was com pelled to send a circular to the provincial projects forbidding the of horses and the slaughter of bulls in the arena Further than this he did not go for high political reasons.

Lawyers occasionally make mistakes which result in the loss of cases, but they generally charge for their services whether they blum der or not. The Supreme court of New York holds that in case of this kind an ig
 norant or incompetent attorney not only has no legal claim for compensation, but is lia- ble to his client for any loss or injury sus- tained by the client through the incompeten- cy of the former. The law on this point is

FLANNELS.

Some time ago we announced that we had been large buyers of Flannels at the great Auction Sale held in New York, and that in due season we would place them on sale. Could the manufacturers have foreseen the turn the market would take, we think there would have been no auction sale. Wool has ad- vanced, is advancing, and will still more advance. Flannels have advanced. But having said we would give our custom CTS the advantage of our pur- chase we mean to do 1t.

Dakota Immigration Statistics.

Huron, Oak, Aug. 15.-The amount
of business transacted at the United
States land Offices in Dakota during
the month of July furnishes a basis for
the estimate of an increase in popula-
tlon Of 4,30C for that month. The TO-
tai number of new homestead and pre-
emptlon entries at the eight land Of
fees reported was 1,15S. Estimating
the number of entries at the Devils
Lake office to be 27O (Which is fifty less
than last month), the total entries are
increased to laos. If one-half the
number of claimants were heads Of
families containing an average Of five
persons each, the total number of en-
tries would represent an. actual in
crease in population Of 1884. During
the month of July the Northern Paci-
fic railroad. sold 14,440 acres Of land in
Dakota, the most Of which is said to
have been purchased by actual settlers.
In the absence of authoritative infor-
nation, no estimate of the increase in
population from this source can be CIV
en-, but it is safe to- say that the in
crease from this and other sources, on
being added to the above figures OBJ
tanned from the land Office reports
would Justify an estimated increase in
the population Of the territory from all
sources for the month OF July OF 6OUO
souls. The number Of timber culture
proofs for the month was thirteen, an
increase of eleven over last month. Ii
will prove interesting to see at the enc
OF the year how many tree claims have
been proved up during the six months
from June, 1885, when the record now
being kept in the olice Of the commlS-
sioner of immigration began. TIE
fact of the matter is, the number OF
tree claims being successfully cultlvat-
ed is surprisingly Large, and the figures
of the statistician will in time satistac-
torily prove such to be the fact. The
number of timber culture entries tol
the month at the eight land offices re-
ported was 5S7. The number Of acres
newly entered at all the land Offices, eli'
cent Tankton and Devils Lake, from
which no reports were received, was
2oOS03, and the number Of acres ae
qulred by final proof at the same office:
was 121,S5
