THE coLoEEp SCHOOLS,

The last hour Of each day was de.
voted to industrial education with
gratifying results. The erection of
four eight.room buildings is recon.
mended, one each in the northern,
southern, eastern and central parts of
the city. The erection of a special
building for high.school is also urged
that the Miner building may be used
for schools of lower grade.

MISCELLANEOUS.

The pressure for admission to the
night schools has been so great that
the applicants could not be accom-
modated. Owing to the proposed with
drawal of the Miner fund, it will be
necessary for Congress TO make pro.
vision for a colored normal school.
These reports were all adopted by the
board. A request for the use Of a
room in the Sumner building by Mrs.
Justice Strong and number of other
ladies who desire to start an industrial
school was granted. They propose to
erect building soon at their own ex-
pense.

New York Politics.

The outlook for the Democrats in New
York is quite encouraging. That is still
the pivotal State of the Union, and is
likely to remain 80 for some time; hence,
more than ordinary interest is taken
throughout the Union in its politics. The
increased majority for Gov. Hill over the
Presidential vote showed that New York
was practically Democratic State
when the Mugwumps and Butterflies
clung to their natural affinities, and in
dictated that it was only necessary to keep
the party united and enthusiastic to
make it safely Democratic, no matter
how hard the Republicans might labor to
carry it.
The course of Gov. Hill has been such
as to win the respect and confidence of a
very large proportion OF the Independent
voters Of New York, and at the same time
to unite and strengthen his party On
the other hand the record Of the Republic
can Legislature has not been a savory
one. 1t has shown a disposition to
authorize and encourage jobbery in
its most Objectionable forms, except where
popular clamOr was such as TO force il to
pay some regard to decency.
There have been a number OF Issues
made, on which the next State campaig IN
will be fought. Probably, no question
Will be more prominent IN the coming
campaign in New York than that Of the
equalization of taxation. The Repu BIZ
cans have refused TO pass an equitable as
sessment law, and have preserved their
OLD tax scheme, which throws a greater
burden OF taxation on the cities than on
the rural districts. They have also re-
fused TO confirm Democratic State As
SCISSOR, who would have been able to do
much towards the equalization of tax
alton.
Ii seems that the Republicans Ope TO
hold on 10 their maiorlties in the rural
districts, aud so control the next Legisla-
ture, even if they have no hope OF elect.
ing State officers. The Democrats,
however, are confident Of making sub
stantial gains in the cities, and they are
very hopeful Of obtaining working ma.
iorty in the next legislature. II they
can do that they can inaugurate the de-
sired reforms and elect the United States
senator

The last affidavit OF WILDER in the Pan
Electric telephone investigation would
make the Bell telephone people very I'M
easy il it could be sustained. WILDER, it
will be remembered, was the examiner
IN the Patent Office who had charge of
the Grey and Bell applications for pat
ents. The aim Of the Pan Electric people
all along has been to make it appear
that Bell obtained his patent by fraud;
that the Grey application was filed before
that of Bell, and that Bell was permitted
to see GTey's application and to steal the
principle it contained and have it patent
ed. Wilbur, in his last affidavit, sup
ports this view, and sets out in detail
many alleged facts which seem to indi-
cate that the Bell patent was not legiti-
mately obtained.
Unfortunately for the Pan Electric peo-
pie, however, WILDER has made a half
dozen different afidavits about. the mat
ter, no one of which is like the other. 1t
Is said to be notorious fact that he has
been suffering from chronic alcoholism,
and that he doesn't know what he is doing
at least half the time.
Prof. Bell denies the WILDER story point
blank. That being the case, ii becomes
necessary for the Pan Electric people to
get testimony corroDorating WILDER. That
they can hardly do. Wilber's testimony
will be taken for what it is worth, and
from present appearances it isn't worth
much. 1t is certain that the word OF
Prof. Bell will have more influence with a
jury than that of WILDER. The man who
makes a half-dozen aftidavits relative to
the same state Of facts, all of which are
different, is hardly the sort of man to be
believed even when on the witness stand.
1t is pretty certain that the trial of the
telephone suit which the government has
instituted VIII be one Of the most inter-
esting that has ever occurred in this
country.

1t seems to be a rather difficult matter
for some who commit crimes to keep the
knowledge of their guilt to themselves.
1t not unfrequently happens nowadays
that convictions OF persons charged with
crime are secured on their own confess
siOns.
1t is not by any means certain that
Jaehne, the New York Alderman, could
have been convicted if he had not told the
entire story Of his guilt, in connection
with the granting OF the Broadway Sur
face railway franchise, to the chief OF the
New York detectives. He must have
thought that the detective was pretty
bad sort of man TO have received con-
lession of that kind without doing his
duty as an officer OF the law.
1t appears that Maxwell, the defendant
in the Preler murder case that is now ey-
citing so much attention in st. Louis, also
made confession to detective who was
put in a cell with him with the view OF
getting a confession from him. 1t is I'M
derstood that Maxwelps defense is that
he killed Preller by accident He pro-
posed to show that he undertook to per-
lOl III oOttlt SUI I VI an bpel dIlOh WI hihls
and before beginning it gave him chloro-
form which proved to be fatal.
This defense will hardly amount to
much now. The confession which Max
well made shows that he deliberately MUIR
dered Preller for the purpose of robbing
him Of the large sum of money which he
knew he had on his person. The murder
was a cold-blooded affair according to
the story the detective tells.
Maxwell mad slight chance for escap-
ing the gallows before the detective
gave his testimony. Without mis- con-
fession there was room for doubt whether
Preller was killed Intentionally, but there
can hardly be any doubt now. 1t may be
that the part that confessions played in
the cases of Jaehne and Max we'll will
have the effect of causing criminals in the
future to talk with more discretion. 1t
seems, however, that the guilt of some
men is d load altogether too heavy for
them to carry alone.

A Plague of Women in Prussia.
From the Pau Nal Gazette.

The census of the German Empire taken
last December-the official return of which
have just been NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. the fact
that the preponderance Of he female over the
male sex is increasing in Prussia. While the
m lie population numbered 1883, 6SS, the
female population was IA, 420. 145. an excess of
526, 4J7 females on total OF q 3l3,S33 persons.
since the census OF 1880 the excess IF females
has increased 77,07S, and since lS67 the in
crease has been no less than 297. 900 or l29 .46
per cent The fact is remarkable, and natu-
rally it is attracting much attention in Ger
many. II is recognized that this growing
preponderance of the female sex can only
partially be attributed to EN- grafton. though
it is well known that far mere men than
women leave Prussia for other countries. Out
OF every 100 persons who were enumerated in
the census of PRUSSIA in 1887 1852 were males
and 80 4s females. but now the proportion is
A.. OF and so % per cent. respectively, the eX-
cess Of females having increased from Q. SO to
]. SO per cent. in Is years. Of all the pro
vinces IN Prussia only Rhineland and Schles-
wig-Holstein show q small prepOnderance of
the male sex. while in East Prussia. POsen.
and Berlin the greatest prepOnderance of
females is to be found. In Rerlin alone, with
Its population OF roughly 100000, there are
52,4l9 more fem ales than males.

the picture is (which" This card is en-
ployed AS a device to call attention to a new
and superior article of taffg. The President
is progressing. He no longer looks with i'll
temper upon the gossip concerning his mar
riage. He has learned to take even pleasure
in the talk. He is, however. in HIS silence
pur uing the course Of man unfamiliar with
soriety. Such men, and particularly where
they marry late IN life, act ii ways as if their
being married was really something to be
ashamed of and concealed. Some people have
idly wondered because the President has not
planned to marry some one nearer his own
age. They forget the universal law that ell
derby bachelors, If they marry. always marry
young girls. The older the bachelor the
younger the girl. There is nothing so aluring
10 the elderly celibates as "a young maiden
fresh from school," Why should it be ex-
pected that our very human President should
prove an exception to the general rule?
