THE awful discovery has been made by the

lately appointed surveyor of that port, was a
Republican editor in 1876. Files of his paper,

not only did Mr. Beattie favor the election of
Hayes and mount rooster at the top Of the

SINGULARLY enough just at the time when
competitive examinations have been intro
duced into the civil-service system as method
of reform, the time honored plan Of gauging
the abilities of school teachers solely by the
result of examinations in arithmetic, gram
mar and other studies, is falling into disfayor.
The ideal teacher, it is maintained by many
active workers in the cause of education,
must be one whom the people are willing to
trust-whose word would have as much
weight as that of lawyer or doctor in their
departments Of advice. The qualities which
go to form this desirable character cannot be
ascertained by competitive examination;
the most difficult series of questions,
and yet be untitled, both by nature
and training, to teach and to deal
with children. Notwithstanding this it is the
applicant who ''passes' an examination with
the smallest number of mistakes who secures
any given school. 1t is coming to be I'M
derstood that the most successful teachers are
not invariably those who know the most, but
those with faculty of imparting their knowl-
edge, and Of making the paths of learning so
attractive that pupils are led into study and
research as pleasure. When this belief be-
comes general the competitive marking sys-
tenn, by which teachers are alone chosen in
ninety-nine cases out of hundred, will be
abolished or at least modified and with it will

The Telephone Fight in Indiana.

Pittsburg CHRONICLE.
The fight is being watched with interest by
people of all parts of the country; and if the
people Of Indiana win similar laws are likely to
be adopted in other States. There is no ques-
ton that the rate charged for the use of the
telephone is excessive, especially in view of the
fact that the service is only moderately salts
factory and the capabilities of the system far
from their full development. The American
Bell Telephone Company now control the field,
and are drawing rich return for the capital
they have invested. They are following the
modern plan Of watering stocks and in order to
earn dividends on an immense fictitious capital
demand a rate of rental entirely too high.
Should they continue to follow this course, they
can lock for the State legislatures to take the
matter in hand and regulate charges on a more
Just and reasonable basis

with or pour cold water over the body and
limbs, and apply to the head pounded ice wrapped
in towel or other cloth. If there is no ice at
hand, keep cold cloth on the head and pour
cold water on it as well as on the body. If the
person is pale, very faint and pulse feeble, lay
him on the back. let him inhale ammonia for a
few seconds, or give him a teaspoonful of aroma

two tablespoonfuls Of water. Use no cold water
upon the head or body, but rub the hands and
