Criticising q school Man.

To the Editor of THE EVENING STAR:
In the painstaking defense Of the public
schools of the District Of Columbia, by Mr.
Trustee Lovejoy, it is stated that "our pupils
cost about S1s per capita a year. I have often
met this method Of expression, viz, per capita,
before, and not infrequently in compositions by
persons who ought to know better. It is little
surprising that an intelligent and cultivated
gentleman like the jealous school trustee afore-
mentioned should follow bad examples, no mat
ter how numerous. Let us put the above quoted
sentence in plain English all through and it
will read. "Our pupils cost about S18 BY heads q
year." Now 1t is meant to say that each Dis
trict pupil costs about SIS year, and, as it is
head, it follows that "per caput" and not s'per
capita is the proper word. When we talk
about SO much year we say "per annum, " and
not the plural 'per Amos" AS the error re-
ferred to has had a very long and uninterrupted
run it would seem to be about time to hazard

TALK ABOUT THE OFFICE.
THE SECOND ASSISTANT POSTMASTER GENERAL

THE SECOND ASSISTANT POSTMASTER GENERAL
SHIP.
In political circles to-day the opinion is that
the appointment of Gov McLane, of Maryland,
as minister to France interposes q bar to ex.
congressman Talbotts chances to be Second
Assistant Postmaster General The prevailing
opinion is that as Maryland has been given the
the high honor of a first-class mission that STATE
Is not likely to receive any additional honor at
present. The belief to-day is that Mr.. Bell, OF
Postmaster General. Missouri, one Of the
staunchest democratic states Of the Union, has
not received an appointment yet Of any ma
the entire delegation of the state his friends ex-
pect his appointment.
DEATH MAKES A VACANCY FOR MR. POST.
The death of Mr.. Clarke, 20 recently ap-
pointed Assistant Secretary Of the Interior,
was subject of no little comment In political
circles to-day. The general opinion was that
6e designated as Mr.. Clarke's successor. Mr.
Post has been endorsed by the party leaders
ships of the Interior, and it was generally un-
derstood that he would have the position
which comes in on the first Of the next fiscal
year. AS the manager Of the congressional
committee of his party last year he won
strength and support In all sections, and he Ia
strongly commended for the post Just made
vacant by death.

FAINT of Pittsburg, were designated by the court.

TRENTON, N. j., March 23-The cause of the
fire in the State house is now ascertained Two
explosions In the Quartermaster generals office
originated the conf1agration. The first eXplo-
sion, dull in its sound, was caused by the heat
ed and confined air of the room. It blew the
ceiling OH, and started the fire in the room of
the clerk In chancery directly above. A second
explosion, few minutes afterwards, was owing
to the bursting Of a steam radiator in the cor
ner. The broken radiator was found ten feet
from the corner this morning.
