A BUSINESS TICKET.

A BUSINESS TICKET.
 We quoted yesterday from an article in the Journal of Education written by the gifted young man who is at present superin- tending the public schools and the Board of Education in New Haven We showed that the young man has idea that it would be very convenient for him if he were allowed to pick out the men elected members of the Board of Education. The unselfshness and regard for the peoples rights which pervade this idea are sublime, and we hope they are duly appreciated by the voters of this city,
 But it is not our purpose to dwell this morning on the part of the young mans ar ticle which advises giving him the choice of members of the Board of Education We shall make quotation which we can com mend with considerable heartiness He says: ''The best men for the school board are clear-headed business men, who devote twelve hours out of the twenty-four to their own affairs; but who, when they come to a board meeting, and the budget is laid before them, bring their common sense and practi- cal knowledge to bear and dispatch the busi- ness promptly. In educational matters, as III oIHor aualrS, one tnlnS SetLleu IS WOrGn 8 dozen things laid on the table or referred to a committee to examine and report. The prompt, decisive action of business men en- ables a superintendent to stand on solid ground"
 There is some sense in this. Business men of the right kind do make good mem bers of Board of Educaois1..~ Doo..us,s- .L.y do the committee appointed to nominate ticket to be placed before the voters next Monday selected four ''clear-headed' busi- ness men as the nominees. MT. O'Brien is good business man. MT. Strong, MT. Ben nett and MT. Graves are also good business men. This being the case we hope that the young superintendent will heartily support the ticket and order his henchmen to follow his example. The nominating committee have given him such ticket as he desires, although he did not nominate it. But this little circumstance ought not to deter him from helping to elect it.

The St. Gothard Tunnel.

From All the Year Round.
 The whole goods traffic, not from Germa. ny and Switzerland only, but from northern France, as far west as Paris, takes this route. Frenchmen are good patriots, but he must be better than good who will pay shilling a ton for having his wares taken through the Swiss French tunnel when he can get them carried for ninepence along the Swiss-Ger- man line. Paris suffers, for Germany can undersell her more than ever, and can swamp the Italian markets with the "bimbiloterie" the more costly kinds of which are ''arti- cles de Paris"-now made at Nuremberg and other places in the Fatherland. Marseilles suffers still more, and has been petitlon1ng the French Chamber of Commerce on the subject of cheaper through rates for goods along the French lines. Even her corn trade is seriously menaced, for a great deal of the corn destined for Italy and south and west Germany passed through her, but can now be got cheaper drought Antwerp or Ham burg, or even through Genoa and Trieste: We too, suffer. The through rates for coal along the St. Gothard line have been re- duced with the view of driving us out of the north Italian market. Already tourists are crying out against the great depots of Ger man coal at Locarno and Luino, on the Lago Maggiore, while line of Italo-German steamers is to run from Genoa to Barcelona and to Spain in general, so still more com pletely to put Marseilles s'out of it." The three countries admirably supply each oth- CTS wants. Germany sends all kinds of man ufactures, from beer to locomotives, and plenty of raw produce as we'll. Switzerland exports any quantity of cotton, silk and lin en goods, besides dresses and condensed milk, and frewood as well, and wood car wings. Italy has to offer wine, fruits, eggs, fat cattle, rice, jewelry and objects of virtu Between them they are pretty we'll independ- ent of the rest of the world, and as their rates are low they are getting good hold on the worlds carrying trade as we'll. Thus for eign wool for the Saxon towns, instead of be- ing unshipped at Marseilles and then sent across the frontier, is now taken to Genoa and goes north by the St, Gothard.

The school Election. IErarra tIn Na1ur L ro,, Ponrisfar

1 We are glad to see that interest in the | school election is on the increase. The tick l ct placed in the field by committee of pub lic-spirited citizens is received with approval, and has taken the wind out of the sails of those who, early ih the morning of She citi-
 zens' movement, reminded their friends and
 neighbors that the movement was a selfish
 one, originated to grind private axes and pay
 off personal grudges.
 Let us, for a moment, take a square look
 at the character of the opposition offered the
 citizens ticket. Not a word can be said
 against the uprightness and capabilities
 of the nominees Their standing in
 the community is respectable one,
 and they are known to be reliable men by
 both their social friends and by their busi- ness associates. The opposition cunningly cry out, however, that they are pledged to discontinue the High school,s also to reduce the salaries of the teachers, and finally to en- tirely change the present school system. This is the sum and substance of their false-heart- ed cry. Well, what is the answer? IL is this. Two of the candidates have been, and are to-day, members of the board. Did they ever undertake to plant such ideas in the minds of their associates! The other two are new men. Did anyone ever hear them express such ideas2 Is there a man in the |, community who man say that +LI.;-r -re pledged to any sach poli.s yh revol9Ilons ai If there is. we snail be happy to receive
 Vet tbeas men are pledged to platform; I Thov ar pledged to a platform of the most rigid eonomy consistent with the best inter esfs If free public school system. They l ar pledged to platform which comprehends sllke the interests of the taxpayers, the pa rents and the children. They are opposed to rings in the management and to an I'll tickle you -tickle-me" policy. They are large hearted, large-minded men, who are pledged to obey the dictates of a sound Judg- I ment and free conscience.
 The platform upon which these men stand 1 is, in brief, this: We are for wise economy | and sound management in the administra- tion of the public schools. What, then, can we call the opposition to such ticket? Why should assessments be laid upon school off cials to defeat it! Why should anyone in any way connected with our school man agement feel burdened with responsibility to defeat it! Why should they seek to de- feat four honorable men, who promise to be and conscientious in their line of action2 We will, after all, leave our read CTS to analyze the character of this opposi- tiOn

Charles Reade,s Love for Dogs.

John Coleman ill the Theater.l
 No man liked dogs better than Charles Reade. When first knew him the pet of the household was an obese white Pomerani- an known as Superior Tiny" When this superior creature took his departure, full of years and honors, and his loss had been de- plored for considerable period, the great novelist went down to the Dogs Home at Battersea-upon an occasion made memora- ble by famous article in the Daily Tele
 graph-and bought five dogs, chiefly mon grel, for he always maintained that the mixed breed was the most intelligent of the canine species. Three of his purchases he presented to friends, but Puff" a mongrel poodle, and "Tiny Number Two," a mon grel Isle of Skye, were to the day of their masters death 'fmonarchs of all they sur veyed' at Shepherds Bush. Puff" was lost twice, and upon one occasion his master paid reward of fifteen pounds sterling for his return.
 Some years ago, when Reade was visiting with us, Gan interesting event. occurred to our little brown terrier, who was an especial favorite with Leo (so we called the leonlne l one) During this visit he was taken i'll and l was confined to his room for some days. It
 was summer time, and every morning at five o'clock, before the household was astir Miss Bebba used to carry the only two remaining members of her family to the door of his ol.es.4Lor and eoSntnh rntil she was let in. Then she would take the pups in her mouth and deposit them on the bed, one either side of Reade. This done. she would spring
 mp and coil herself around his neck. Many time have I seen them sleeping thus to- gether; many time have I heard him say that the affection of this poor little dog was quite consolation to him during the prog ress of a most distressing malady.

Experimenting on Animals.


 Some people object entirely to experiments
 upon animals. They do this chiefly on two
 grounds. The first is that such experiments
 are useless, and the second that, even if they
 were usefn1 we have no right to inf1ict pain
 upon animals. The first objection is due to
 ignorance. Almost all our exact knowledge
 of the action of drugs the various organs
 of the body, as well as the physiological functions of these organisms themselves, has
 been obtained by experiments on animals. Their second objection is one which, if
 pushed to their utmost limits and steadily carried out, would soon drive man off the face of the earth. The struggle for exist ence is constantly going on, not only be- l tween man and man, but between man, the
 lower animals and plants, and mans very being depends upon his success. We kill animals for food. We destroy them when they are dangerous like the tiger cobra, or destructive like the rat mouse. We oblige them to work for for no reward but their food, and we urge them on by whip and spur when they are unwilling or flag. No one would think of blaming the messen- ger who should apply whip and spur to bring q reprieve, and thus save the life of human being about to die the scaffold, even al though his horse should die under him at the end of the journey. Humane people will give an extra shilling to a cabman in order
 that they may catch the train which will take them to soothe the dying moments of a friend without regarding the consequences to the cab horse. Yet if one-tenth of the suf- fering which the horse has to endure in eith- CT of the cases just mentioned were to be in ficted by physiologist in order to obtain
 the knowledge which would help to relieve
 the suffering and lengthen the life, not of one human being only, but of thousands, | many persons would exclaim against him. Such objections as these are due either to want of knowledge or, want of thought on the part of people who make them. They either do not know the benefits which medi- l cine derives from experiment, or they | thoughtlessly Sometimes perhaps willfullyl | ignore the evidence regarding the utility of l

Those who like tobacco will be encouraged by the statement that among the thousands of men, women and children employed in the tobacco factories in Spain there has not been a single case of an attack of the disease thus far during the cholera epidemic.
 By the way, Mir. c. E. Graves has child in the High school and another in the Skin- ner school. And yet he was nominated for a place on the Board of Education by the ras- calls who, it has been charged, favor the abo- lition of the school system of New Haven. How can they carry out their alleged aims through hima
 They talk of corruption in certain institu- tions in this country, but the revelations which have been made of the performances at the great Eastern hospital in London could, we suppose, hardly be matched here. Wines of the finest vintage for sick paupers banquets on the most luxurious scale for the committee, an enormous liquor bill for the 200 officials of the establishment, of whom only three were entitled 10 such rations- these are not the most amazing features ot the record. Large sums were paid to labor CTS, for fuel for uniforms and the like. Everybody connected with the hospital wal lowed in luxury, and the cost was only three hundred thousand dollars for one year.
 Professor Mccall Anderson, of the clinical department of the University of Glasgow, ! now visiting this country, says that drunken I ness, which has always been the bane of the l Scotch people, is on the decrease among the lower classes This is due in part to the i'm provement in habits among the aristocracy Formerly no great dinner was regarded as successful if it did not end with the guests 1 all under the table. Professor Anderson tells
 a story of a man who was not fond of drink I ing, but pretended intoxication and fell un der with the rest. He went to sleep. Pres sntly he was awakened by hand at his l throat 'sW ho are yous" he cried. ''Why I am the boy who unbuttons the collars" I As all the fools are not dead yet, the hunt l ing of great estates in England by American heirs will probably continue, but the Ameri can minister to England offers some good ad | vice to them in a circular.
