We have plenty of men who are
starving to death In the socalled
professions, and yet the highest am
bition of most of our universities,
colleges and high schools is to make
more lawyers. doctors and preachers
Now, these professions are all crowd
edts overfowing. We don't need any
more schools to educate young men
for these professions, but we do need
Industrial training schools, schools Of
art, schools of agriculture, etc. We
need to get out Of the foolish and
pernicious idea that the only royal
road to success lies through these
learned professions.
We need to inculcate the idea that
it is better for the state, better for
society, infinitely better for the indi
vidual for one to become good arti
san, an accomplished mechanic, than
starving doctor; briehess lawyer
or penniless preacher. Our edu
cational system is sadly at fault and
there is urgent need of reform.
But the reform must begin with so
ciety and then with the State. AS
an exchange wisely remarks, 1T is
the states theory-as shown by the
states practice that it is better to
be lawyer, or doctor or preach
er than a well trained mechanic. and
so when the young man wants to be
lawyer or doctor. the state throws
open her professional schools and
gives him an education for nothing"
II he wants 10 be mechanical print
er or an engineer he must go into a
shop and work his own way up. The
state should. but does not, give him
encouragement.

Ex-senator David Davis.

New York Tribune
Mr.. Cheney, of Bloomington, ILL.,. receiver of
the Lake Erie & Western road, which runs from
Bloomington to Sandusky, tells me that his Eel
low. townsman, Judge David Davis, is losing
flesh in his political retirement 1.-THE Judge
weighs about $50 pounds l should say said Mr..
Cheney. He used to weigh $40. He has lost
his old time healthy look: He is not practicing
law but gives all his attention to his farms He
must have 1000 to 5000 acres of improved farm
land in central Illinois. 1t is valuable land,
every acre of it. Then he has great deal of
property in Missouri and Iowa, but that is wild
land and not so valuable. The Judge is wealthy
and has young wife. But he is sadly disap-
pointed man. He wanted TO be President He
came to the bench in the hope that presidential
lightning would strike him. 1t might have done
so if he had remained ON the bench. But from
the moment he left the judiciary he was out of
the race. He made great mistake in his at
tempt to remain independent, voting now with
one party and now with the other. If a man
wants to reform a party, he must get into it and
be part of it, as to have some voice in its
management He can't stand off on the outside
and effect any thing"

DIR. BARTLETT, of Milwaukee, is likely to
find himself 'churched" ere long for having
expressed heterodox views at the meeting Of
the State medical society. AS president of
the association he took occasion to sharply
criticise the present code, which provides a
certain medical rut for members of the old
school and discourages if not forbids, asso-
citation in case with members of another
school, DR.. Bartlett asserted that the practice
was not highly satisfactory, and urged that it
be changed so as to permit and encourage free
intercourse between all who devote themselves
to the saving of human life and the care of
the sick

AS an instance of railroad business" it
may be stated that goods can be shipped from

can be from indianapolis to point one hun

same time, one road carried freight at two and
a half cents per hundred a distance of two

The report that John l. Davenport had
mysteriously disappeared in order to avoid
questioning, from Washington, as to the ad-
ministration Of his Office of supervisor Of
elections, was, of course, lie out of whole
cloth Mr. Davenport is at home, has not
been absent from New York, and he is re-
sponsible to the United States Court for his
official acts, and not to the Democratic admins
tration. Besides, the Democrats have already
had their fill at Investigating" Johnny

certain times the mortality is large, yet count

maintained.

Nor content with splitting in the mugwump
face, the New York Sun proceeds to rub it in.
The Sun, like nearly all Democratic papers, is
tired of mugwump nonsense, and is no longer
averse to saying so, and in such manner as to
leave no doubt as to its meaning. The Sun
is persuaded that the ''end of the mugwump
dream has been reached, and that hereafter
the Democratic administration will be Demo
cratic in all that the term implies. 1t says:
''The independent Republicans have lost no
opportunity to impress upon the President the
necessity Of trying their kind of reform He
on his part has perhaps not unnaturally wished
to show that he is not unmindful of his obi
CATION to them. He has paid that obligation
by the appointment of few Republicans OF
acknowledged efficiency and inoffensive parti-
sanship. The independent Republicans
are pleasant people, but there are not enough
of them to induce him to follow them to his
undoing."
Do the mugwumps understand They have
been 'Fpaid." Cleveland's obligation to them
has been discharged, and they are expected to
stand out of the way. Democracy has had no
use for them since last November. Their
theories, while not Republican, are certainly
much further from being Democratic. The
fat is spoken. There is mourning in the
streets, for 10, the mugwump must Ego"

THE mugwump and Democratic organs
alike owe vote of thanks to the genius who
suggested that the Presidents mistakes were
all owing to the fact that he was imposed upon
by wicked advisers. Both parties are getting
an immense amount of comfort out of the
thought; though, upon investigation, it ap-
pears that the mugwumps believe the Demo
Gratis to have been the bold bad "betrayers'
of good Mr.. Cleveland, and the Democrats
hold the mugwumps responsible. Possibly
both are right; but what a lot of disreputable
advisers the President must have, taking them

THE Offensive partisan" farce received a
staggering blow at Washington on Wednesday.

vision of the Pension Office, was removed for
that "cause," and General Black said to him:

In the interest of Jeffersonian simplicity
and unostentatious reform Democracy it is
given out that the farewell dinner to Sunset
Cox will be one of the most elaborate of its
kind ever given. The President, Vice-presi-

delegations have all been invited and many
are expected to attend. The banquet will be
spread in the Oriental dining-rooms Of the

A MUGwuMP exchange affects to believe
that it will pay Democrats who desire to Sc
cure fayors at the Presidents hands to be fair,
truthful and frank in their intercourse with
him. Only Democrat who knows just what
his actual opinions are of the reform" admin
istration can conjecture the result should he
speak frankly and truthfully, and tell the
President what he thinks of him. There is a
probability that such an investment of moral
capital would not pay even the smallest polit
ical dividends.

The School Fund.


At late meeting of the board of trustees of
the corporation of Montezuma, the saloonists
asked the board to reduce the corporation Ii
cense from 800 down to $50, giving as y reason
for this request, that times were very hard and
they could not afford to pay the 800 per year.
After some discussion motion was made in ac-
cordance with the above, when one member said:
'Well, it won't make any difference, it only
comes off the school fund, and we have too
much school anyway It is needless to say that
the board is solidly Democratic, and the vote In
favor of reduction was unanimous.
