A Problem Proposed 0:!d ,soired.-
The following problem was recently
submitted TO 80 teachers i'll France, Of
whom 81 failed to solve it:
The salary of two persons is 81, 100 per
year. Together they save 81 $40 per year
One, however spends ! of his salary the
other 7. What is the salary of each?
The Journal, which is sometimes u
person and not a paper, submitted the
problem, after working it himself, to
the principal of the public school to
make what use of it he might think fit.
Mr., Buckey gave it to the 9Th grade
pupils to be worked by algebra and
arithmetic. Its solution by algebra is
so easy lhat only such solution by Miss
Ida Baker, showing unusual deXtcrity
Of manipulation, need be neN,ioued.
The following named pupils worked it
in It variety of WAYS: Miss Ray

Avirett, editor of the Cumberland
Times, is spoken of in connection with
the deputy revenue collcctorship for
this portion of the district, As the
conductor of the organ Of his party in

FROM MAYOR TO MARSHAL

As long as Rome appointed to place
and power the purest, ablest and best
Of her citizens 1t was we'll with the
Seven-hilled Mistress OF the World.
Her armies were all-pOwerful with
moral as we'll as physical strength,
her finances were always flash to fur
ther her views, and her peopo's.house-
holds were happy. IL was only when
corruption in public Office and de-
baucheries in private life became the
order of the hour, as when in tho war
against JUoURTHA, the King Of
Numidla, was able 10 brlbe Roman
consuls, and Roman marshals were for
sale, that she fell to pieces, And so
1t will be with this country of ours. To
preserve in all its worth our
Republic, PRESIDENT CLEVELAND
has thus far done admirably
with his Texas appointees
at least; especially 30 with those in
Dallas. rhe last one who qualified
was GENERAL w. l.. CABELL, az
United States Marshal for this district.
A gentleman by birth and education
and association; soldier than whom
with his so 1briquet of sold Tige" none
had better record in defense OF q
cause he honestly espoused; a shilling
Democrat of the Old Dominion, JEFF
fersonian type; citizen whose
mode Of life ennobles and elovates the
status of community; an official
whose stern integrity the most insid-
uous ingenuity never dared TO ap-
preach with the slightest suggestions
in questionable shape--it is no wonder
he secured universal en- jorsement for
tho preferred Position, from high and
low, from rich and poor, Democrat and
Republican. If the country is TO be
marshaled by men of this pattern, If
the DEGREES Of courts are to DO exc.
cuted by efficiency of this sort, then
will law and order reign supreme.
We congratulate the Marshal, the
President and the country,

THE CHIEF STUMBLING BLOCK

The failure of MR.. FOSTER to secure
a second hearing from tho Spanish
government on tho subject of a
commercial treaty between tho United
States and Spain arose from the cool
treatment which the first treaty ro-
coived in this country. The protective
theory is so thoroughly Embedded in
the majority of the minds of the
United States Senate that 1t Is with the
greatest difficulty commercial treaty

vored, or sugar or molasses, those en-
gagged in such industries here at once
set about, and generally with success,
to defeat the ratification of the treaty,
Another difficulty presents itself.
Just as men object to special favors to
particular products, so opposition IL at
once aroused in powerful quarters to
special privileges to and agreements
with particular nations. Protection.

sentatlves maintain tho right to origl.
nate measures to carry all treaties into
effect when existing tariff schedules
arc touched by tho treaty.
The difficulties in tho way OF these
commercial alliances, IL will at once hI

And yet AS THE HERALD pointed out

creator number of our Gulf and South
Atlantic soaboard cities depends upor
