NOT ANARCHISTS.

People who assume to believe that the
dynamite outrages in England represent
only sort of warfare by Irish people
against Great Britain, are short-sghted.
Practically, blowing up buildings in
England will not lesson repressive meas
ures in Ireland. On the contrary, such
procedure, we believe, will make oppression
more oppressive, and in England itself it
is resulting in the discharge from employ
ment of tens of thousands of Irish artisans
and laborers who are dependent upon
English employment for daily necessities.
But the dynamite campaign is by no
means Irish in its genesis. 1t represents
in fact those uneasy elements of society
that are at work to upturn present condi-
tons and inaugurate the rule of anarchy.
As a class we do not believe the Irish
desire any such results. The benefits
showered upon them in America, the OPP
portunities this land has afforded them for
development, the free field the United
States is to them for advancement and the
working out of their highest possibilities,
are too greatly appreciated by the Irish to
lead them to assault republican form of
government. Dynamite procedure is born
of European socialism, and Is the legiti-
mate fruit of the insidous growth of an
archism. It is unfortunate perhaps that
the Irish have been related to this pro-
cedure as they have, but ii is clear that
they do not have any sympathy, as "A class,
with the diabolical schemes OF the black
hand conspirators whose vicious aim is
to overthrow Presidents as well as Kings,
and the systems of self-government as well
as those where there is ruling class. If
it comes to a struggle between Anarchists
and the friends of republican Institutions
we are perfectly certain that the Irish can
be counted upon to rally under the flag of
free government of the United States of
America. They are not to be estimated as
such fools as to be led off into ruin by the
European scum that is doing its utmost to
create trouble in this country.

inaccurate scales and insufficient measures.

SUAKIM, February 13th.-Small parties OF
hostile Arabs have reappeared to menace
the garrison. A spy has returned from
Hesheim, the place where the reconnoit-
ering party of Hussars and Egyptians were
attacked on the Sd instant. The Hussars
got as far as Hando,lb, without opposition,
but, having on their way out, burned a
native village without reason, they were
attacked on their return at Hesheim,
which is about three miles from Handoub.
The attacking party lay in ambush, and
the Arab fire was so terrible that the Hus-
sars could not face it, and saved themselves
from humiliation by retreating at full
gallop to Suakim. Eight Hussars and
three Egyptians were lost Colonel Nee
man, in reporting the incident, stated that
the officer in command of the Hussars had
exceeded his authority in ordering the
burning of the Arab village
Spies were at once sent out to ascertain
the fate of the missing troopers. The spy
who returned could learn nothing but he
found on the desert near the scene of the
fight, several articles of clothing which
evidently belonged to the missing men,
and were all pierced as if by spears. The
spy brought these articles to Suakim, and
reports that he found the enemy encamped

EDITORIAL NOTES.

The Irishmen of Philadelphia have organ ized society for the purpose of boycotting EngEsh-made goods Every member is pledged not to buy them, and any merchant who is detected in selling English goods as American-made is also to be boycotted. This is more legitimate than dynamite.
 The Register is right in calling the inquiry made by MT. O'Brien at the last meeting of the Board of Education proper one Changes in books in the public schools should be made in a proper way, and no body connected with the schools can. afford to have any appearance of irregularity in the matter.
 Judge Allen declared in court at Boston the other day that clergymen who violate the law by marrying persons under eighteen years of age without the consent of their pa rents ought to be indicted and punished. He had under consideration at the time peeu- iarly pitiful case of cruelty and dessrtion, the complainant having become, at the age of fifteen, the wife of man whom she had only known three weeks. He did not use too strong language.
 Every bale of cotton yields twelve hundred pounds of seed, and cotton seed has lately be- como valuable. For instance, it figures sx- tensively in pure olive oil The best quality of cotton seed oil put beside the purest olive oil cannot be distinguished save by an expert, and for all practical purposes it is equally good. It is wholesome, pure and cheap. It is exported largely in bulk to Italy, is then put up in original packages and comes back to this country as pure olive oil, to satisfy those who are particular about the brand they use and who are willing to pay for g "genuine article" even if it does cost more.
 A report of the state of tenement houses in Dublin has been issued which states that of the 24,211 inhabited houses in Dublin F. 234 are occupied by two or moro families, and that of the 54, 735 families in Dublin no fewer than 32 ,202 live in 1894 houses, which contain 49, 116 rooms, thus giving 8 room and half on average to each family, some of whom are twelve in number. In four Dublin streets there are 1,074 families occupying 1 ,4S2 rooms in 175 houses, for which they pay a yearly rent of sS,311, while the houses are valued at e8,6T.

ASSESSMENT ENDURANCE.

Regular" insurance men rejoice over
 everything that tends to show that the prin-
 ciple of assessment insurance is not sound,
 and they have something to ''crow over'' in the collapse of the assessment insurance con- CTS. This order started as the Independent Order of Foresters, insuring all applicants in three classes, upon whom an assessment of from $1.50 to $2 was levied upon the death of member. At first the membership in creased rapidly. Lodges were established in various cities throughout the country, and soon nineteen thousand names were enrolled on the books. Among these were many re- spectable citizens, and the total assessments then averaged only S1.50 to s per month. As the order grew older new members did not come in so rapidly, while the death rate increased. In 1881 the debt amounted to STA, 900, and was growing larger every month. It was then decided to reorganize the associ- tion on better basis and the name United Order of Foresters was adopted. The STA 900 due to the benefciaries of deceased mem- bers was assumed by the new organization and extra assessments were levied upon the members to clear the debt, but many refused to pay and entire lodges dropped out. How ever, the debt was successfully wiped out, and for some time it seemed as though the order would again prosper, but people were afraid to join, and last August there was an other debt of $25, ,OO0 due to benefciaries. The death claims for January and February of the present year alone amounted te $24,- 900, while the membership had dwindled down to 1 800. In April the liabilities were $4O,0O0 and the assets only 5000. and many of the members and the officers came to the conclusion that it would be best to wind up the affairs of the order.
 A good many assessment insurance schemes have perished in the same way, and the agents of life insurance companies are free to say that they will all perish in the course of time, and not very long time either. The argument upon which this prediction is based is thus stated by the Springfield Re publican: It Gan assessment insurance com pany) will expand swiftly, members will join in great numbers, because at first deaths will be few and assessments seldom, but in from five to ten years the "boom" is over, the old CT members begin to die, assessments thick en, men hesitate about joining, present mem- bers, especially the younger ones, begin to demand a reserve fund, the number of in sured is already so great that proper re- serve would rise into the millions, new men would cease to join, the membership begins to decline, each assessment being upon smaller number produces 8 smaller result, and once started down hill it drops with increasing velocity until it reaches the end, which, the Foresters have preached.
 This is not very encouraging to the thou sands who are depending upon assessment insurance for the help of their families when they are gone. Probably the benefit asseci- ations of the Masons and the Odd Fellows have better chance for long life than any of the others, for it will be easier for them to keep up their membership.

In some cases books were also | introduced merely to test their value. How much of business has been actually done between the superintendent and teachers and the book agents did not appear from any of the disclosures made last even ing. Tne position taken by Captain OBrien, and in which he seems to have been un- supported by the other members of the Board, was that neither the superintendent nor the teachers should be given carte blanche to require parents and guardians to buy what books they please, without the Board knowing anything about the books-their cost and character as to merit, or their necessity and usefulness as means of instruction. It is not surprising that the member who undertook to look into the matter, and was only partially suc- cessful in his enterprise, should have want ed this method of introducing books into the public schools changed and taxpayers, par ents and guardians will thank him for open ing to their view one of the inner workings of our school system which has not been much suspected.
 The explanation of Superintendent Out ton as to the motive which has prevailed to establish this peculiar method of Introducing school books into the schools will hardly be accepted as sufficiently full when he asserts that MT. Whitmore desires some changes in text books. Mir. Whitmore may properly desire some change, but it has been sup poseu GnaG changes, 1T made, should be only after reference by the Board to their com mittee and action upon the committees re- port, made after an examination of the recom- mendations for change. These recommen- dations can, of course, be very properly made to the Board by any teacher or by the superintendent.
 Captain O'Brien says he knows of several
 books in use in the schools which have not received the sanction of the Board The soon- CT the Board find out how many of such
 books are in use, what are their titles, what is the price of them and whether they are good for anything as text books, the sooner will 1t discharge one of the most important of it's official duties.
 In years gone by there were whispers of such work on the part of book agents and a former superintendent but they arose mainly from the circumstance that the Committee on Schools saw fit to leave the selection of books very much to their chairman, and books were, it is probable, sometimes introduced experimentallv without the Board knowing much about it. The Board can hardly do less, now that their attention has been directed to the subject, than to ask the superintendent to furnish for inspection list of all text books agreed up- on between the superintendent and the book agents. A publication of such list in the Fnext annual report of the Board of Education would be instructive and of advantage to the people, who support, through taxation, the present school system.

A Proner Innuirx.

From the Now Haven Register1
 Parents and taxpayers will find in the mat ter brought to the attention of the Board of Education last evening by Captain Thomas O'Brien, one of it's members, something wor- thy of general consideration The presump- tion that the Board has supervision of the schools to the extent of at least knowing what school books are in use, appears to have been without warrant in fact, and the teach CTS and book agents and Superintendent Dut- ton do not appear to have been governed in making what changes in books they pleased by either the Board of Education or it's very competent Committee on Schools. The im- portance of the subject fully justified Cap tain O'Brien in his endeavor to get the Board sto take reasonable action and that the Board did not take any action is by no means to it's credit.
 Superintendent Dutton's answer to the in quiry whether there had been any text books Introduced into the public schools without the knowledge or sanction of the Board ap- pears somewhat singular. He is reported to have said that there had not, and immediate ly proceeded to say that in the High school. and in the history studies in the grammar schools, works were used for reference which had not been ordered by the board.
