"Now look here. That is coming it lust q

being so numerous as tc stop railroad trains,
but l draw the line at grasshoppers No
body, not even if he is clergyman, can
make me believe that mosquitoes can stop

@They do it all the same. You see the
mosquitoes attack people on the streets.
The pedestrians, of course, are compelled to
defend themselves They strike at the mus
quitoes with their hands or try to shooh
them away with handkerchiefs, or they
would be eaten up. The people on the side
walks are kept so busy with their handker-
chiefs and making motious with their hands,
that the drivers are deceived, and stop the

ing to be any picnic" and il opposes the
nomination of Mr.. Foraker because it is fear
iul that "there are not votes enough to elect
him."-Toledo Bee.
The closing statement of the foregoing
is somewhat warped away from the per-
pendicular of truth. We do not oppose
the nomination of Mr.. Foraker. We are
neither opposing nor advocating the NOM
ination Of anybody. We are simply en-
deavoring, as newspaper, to ascertain
and report the present state of Republican
sentiment on the subject Of prospective
nominations. The popular drift is toward
the denomination OF Foraker, without q
doubt; but there are objections to it. Sem
timental, and fanciful, and false they
may be; but sentiment, and fancy, and
fslsehood frequently play an important
part on election-day. These objections
ought to be considered and the probable
effect of them estimated beforehand. All
the opposing the GLoBE-REPUBLIc is doing
is merely to put forward these objections
for debate and deliberation. That is, we
are trying to give "the under dog in the
fight" chance to have his yelp heard.

LEARNING THEIR BUSINESS.

Apprenticeship in New Form-what .
Railroad Expects to Accomplish.
Engineering and Mining Journal
The Baltimore & Ohio Railroad company
| has taken a step toward the practical solu-
ton Of the apprenticeship question An
| order has been issued establishing techno-
logical school at Mount Clare, Baltimore,
"for the promotion of higher course of in
struction for the apprentices than now pur-
| sued, with the view of affording the young
men in its employ opportunities for obtain
ing liberal technical education far superior
| to those enjoyed by the employees of other
railroads
All apprentices are embraced under the
following general designations, and graded
into three classes; the first or junior ella s of
apprentices, the second class or cadets and
the third or senior class of cadet officers
The company bears the expense of the edu-
cation of the apprentices and cadets, and in
consideration thereof expects the privilege
OF avalllng itself of their services, at fair
salaries, for at least three years after gradu-
alton. From the day after their admission
to the school the apprentices and cadets are
to receive pay as follows: The apprentices,
20 cents per day in the first year, 50 cents In
the second, 80 cents In the third, and 81 per
day in the fourth year; the cadets 81 per
day in the first year, Sl.l2Jf in the second,
and Sl25 per day in the third year; and
cadet officers sl.5O per day in the first year,
SL7a in the second, and 81 per day in the
third year.
In their appointment to the school, pref
erence is to be given, other things being
equal to the sons of employees who have
been killed or injured in the company's SER
vice, and free tuition is given to those only
who are sons of employees having been in the
service of the company for five consecutive
years. They must pass board of examin-
ers as to proficiency in elementary studies and
soundness Of health, and are subject during
the years of study to rigid discipline and
frequent examinations. The exact scope Of |
the school and the service for which its |
pupils are to be trained are not clearly de- |
fined; but it is evident from the long courses |
that the places to which they may aspire |
after their training are high indeed.

dan, come into the Ebbitt house the other
evening to make a call He stopped a mo-
ment in the rotunda to talk to some friends.
A group Of military officers immediately
gathered around him A stranger would
never have selected him as their commander.
in-chief. A more unmilitary locking man
never lived, in civilians dress He needs
his uniform. Most Of the officers about him
were in civilians dress also, but there was
hardly one OF them who did not wear some
outward sign OF his military character.
Sheridan is very short, and each year
seems to add to the rotundity of his pudgy
figure. When saw him in the lobby he
wore upon the back Of his round, bullet
: head very slim. high, old-fashioned silk
hat of style that was very popular about
the time Of the close of the war. It wa:
about two sizes too small Rs short, IRON
gray hair stood out from under the rim of
his hat at nearly right angles with it. His
red, weather beaten face docs not show any
new lines Of advan cling age, but his grizzly,
iron-gray mustache and imperial are whiten
ing very fast. He wore a short, light, yel
low-gray overcoat which had only five but
tons, and they were nearly ready to fly of
from tine undue strain Of Sheridans round
figure. The coat, like the hat, appeared to
have been long outgrown. The trousers
were gray plaid and fitted very snugly to
the generals fat legs His boots were thick
soled and unblacked He wore no gloves.
The side and rear views of the general
suggested a low-comedy man who had
walked off the stage all made up for funny
part, but when you come to look at the gen.
eral square in the face, its stern, solemn,
composed lines were enough to make one
forget his grotesque figure and careless |
dreNs. He is very popular in Washington,
but he is not as popular as Gen. Sherman |
with the ladies. He is fonder of staying a, |
home than he is Of going about in society |
He takes more pleasure in paying attention |
to his own wife than to other mems wives.
Until he reforms in this particular he will
never acquire what might be called great
popularity in society. 1t will be ten years
before Sheridan can be retired. As the time
is so far ahead, it is not worth while to spec
uiate as to his successor. When he goes out,
the rank Of lieutenant general will go with
him. The highest rank after this will be
that of major general
