A School In Tunis.

We visited a college for young boys.
The class-rooms were small, without
windows, and lighted from the entrance
door only. Little benches a foot high
were used for desks. the scholars and
teachers sitting on the floor. They all
studied aloud. Each scholar in reciting
took his seat directly in front of the
teacher. and within easy reach of his
rod, both continually swaving their
bodies back and forth. Most of the
professors we're quite young men, with
very intelligent faces. French is con-
sidered very essential in the education
of boys. The poor girls are not educa-
ted at all, very few being able to read.
We only heard of three who had this
accomplishment, and these were the
daughters of the Secretary of the Boy.
The women spend their time in making
their clothes, dressing and sleeping

GOOD BYE LOGAN.

Under the above caption the Oma
ha Herald thus refers to the present
situation in the Illinois legislature:
Providence comes to the rescue of the
Democrats, although through q sad
accident which we deplore. Little
did the Republicans of the Illinois
legislature dream when they threat
ened to proceed to an. election of a
United States Senator in case of the
absence, through illness, Of one of the
Democratic members, that that men,
Der would recover In time to take
part in the proceedings, while they
themselves would suffer the irrepa.
rable loss of q man through death.
Yet such Is the case GU the eve Of the
expiration of senator Logan's term
and the meeting of the extra session
of the Senate to confirm the appoint
ments of President Cleveland.
When the e~alloting for Senator
commenced and the Republicans
feared that the other party might
persuade u of their members to
vote with them, they claimed that it
required a majority Of each of the
two houses and not merely q major
ity of the joint convention, to form a
quorum. Since then, however. they
talloted several times under the
same condition and cannot, therefore.
consistently advance their objection
now, if it ever amounted to anything.
The Republicans declared that war
is war;" and resorted In consequence
to any means they could for the cleo
ton of q Senator OF their own per
suasion, so they cannot find fault
if the fortunes of war have taken a
sudden turn and "ze tiger Is hunting
re man."
Democrats of the Illinois legisla-
ture have only one duty. and that is
to stand by their caucus nominee as
one man. Colonel Morrison has
never yet received the full party
vote. and it was perhaps not fmpera-
lively necessary that he should, since
it would not have elected him any,
xav. Now it is different. Every
Democrat should cast his vote for
him and elect a Democratic Senator
from Illinois.

PRESIDENT

Not only the politicians. but the
whole MAS of the people, have at
last recognized the fact that MI.
Cleveland is a man of strong convic-
lions, of force and ability. The evil
dence be has given of this Is thus
stated by a United States 81 senator, in
a recent interview. L bavs been
ans ged, said he, IS l have read
these pages, to see what a large pat
tern OF a man our new President is
[ did not know him, and l doubt If a
hundred men in the country know
him a. he is here presented in mes
sageg, recommendations to the legis.
!atura. vetoes, pardons and other
state papers. HIS literary style is
admirable. as clear aud pointed as
Nj. Lincoln's; and as to the subject
matter, it shows everywhere that he
rests upon and refers to sound gen.
araI principles, and has broad and
s~tatesmanlike views. He is plainly
= strict constructionist /; he is q lovor
of local self-gOvernment; he Is a
Democrat In all the real essentials of
true Democracy, as opposed to Fed
eralism and Whigism. No one who
reads these state papers will doubt
that we are going to have for Presi.
dent a strong man, strong because he
is thoroughly grounded In princi-
Piles, and be ,ause he Is tenacious in
u%pholding that which he believes to
be right. Everywhere in these state
ptpers he shows an admirable
breadth of view, a true ana
clear apprehension of the objects
Of government, and q genuinely
democratic determination to protect
the people against the s~elfshness OF
their rulers, and to prevent the diver
sion of Legislation from its only proper
ends, which are to secure peace and
administer Justice"
What this senator discovered In
Mr. Cleveland's state papers Is all
there, and a good deal more. 1t
would be difficult to name another
man now in public life from whose
writings or speeches could be collected
so large au amount of sound political
dcctri e, shrewd and incisive com
men, and just and consistent general
statement, .

SENATE.

WASHINGTON, March 5.-The pub
lie galleries In the Senate were agair
to-day crowded to their utmost linn
its, ard long before noon the Grove
gathered about every door asking the
keeper in vain for admission. The
Senate clock, which Captain Bassetl
with his cane set back ten minutes
yesterday, had recovered its lost
time. Promptly at IL o'clock the
Weep resident entered from the door
on the left of the Presidential desk,
accompanied by Rev. DR.. Butler,
pastor of the Lutheran Memorial
Church Of this city. The galleries
applauded Hendricks, which mani
festation its recipient abruptly termi-
mated with the gavel. The Senators
arose ct this summons, and Dr.. But
Ter offered a prayer.
Upon its conclusion the Vice-Presi-
dent took the chair and was again
greeted with plaudits by the occu-
pants Of the galleries. He called the
Senate to order, and in a voice only
audible to the clerks called for the
reading of the journal. The journal
having been read, Allison, Beck and
Voorhees,, the committee appointed
yesterday to wait On the President
OF the United States and inform him
that q quorum OF the Senate was
present and ready to receive any COM
munication he might deem to make,
reported they had performed their
duty and the Pr esident had responded

ate forthwith. In less than . minute
there was announced q message from

WASHINGTON, March 9Th
White House presents q busy seen
to-day. A stream of callers p0ure,
into the Mansion from the hour tn,
doors were opened until q late hou
in the dav. The President had al
early breakfast, and then completed
the organization of his Cabinet anl
directed their names to be sent to tn,

A number of organizations visited
the White House before noon and
were received by the President in the
East Room. Prominent among those
were the Samuel J. Randall clue, the
Americas club, and the Young Mems
Democratic club, all from Philadel.
phia; the Kings County club OF
Brooklyn, ana y delegation from the
county Democrats. The Justices OF
the United States Supreme Court,
headed by CHIEF Justice Waite, called
about IL o'clock, and were Received
in the Blue PdrlOr. Members of the
National Democratic Committee were
next received. Many other promi-
nent persons called to pay their re-
spects and kept the President en-
gagged the entire day.
No changes are yet made In the
force employed at the White House

The President then gave notice he
would receive all who might choose
to come between 2 and 4 o'clock, and
during that time thousands of strang-
ers paid their respects to the Chief
Magistrate. The President received
them in the East Room and shook
hands with all. The crowd passed
through In single file, and owing to
the immense number presenting
it Was found necessary to
dispense with the f0rmality of intro
ton. The President. no wever, recog.
nized many acquaintances in the line

CAPITAL AND LABOR.

In his inaugural address Presi-
dent Cleveland gives assurance
that both capital and labor
will be encouraged in his adminlstra-
ton of the affairs of the Government.
In this he ia consistent. In an inter-
view sometime ago he is credited
with saying that "labor and capital
have no antaeonistic interests" and
added; when capital, represented by
OVERLOOKING warehouses, finds no
market for its productions, or only a
market yielding loss instead of gain.
labor should sympathize with the
difficulty and accommodate itself to
the adverse circu instances. Capital
should rec:procate by sharing its pros
perity." Nothing is sounder than
this view of the relation of labor
and capital. In times OF business
prosperity the wageworker has a
right to expect a share in the profits
and benefits accluing to capital. On
the other hand he should not expect
in times of depression to throw the
whole burden upon employers. The
interests of the two are 60 identical
that it is suicide for one to iDjure the
other. 1t Ia strange that an economic
principle SO we'll established should
meet so many difficulties In Its
practical application. The fault lies
as much with capital as with labor,
and vice versa, if the order of mention
gives either the greater prominence.
"If sound business judgment were
allowed to prevail, all friction would
be avoided" says MI. Cleveland, and
common sense echoes: 1t would.
