After T0CeeH dAn. JOnn EALOnI bX-
u. s. Commissioner OF Education,
now President Of Marietta College,
Ohio, was introduced, and gave an
interesting talk. He HRid that this
was the llrst time hU had ever been
permitted to speak 10 the teachers in
Wheeling, though tor many years he had
knownit as the educational center Of West
Virginia. He had known this from the
position he had occupied. he contHlSLed
the present with the past and spoke OF
the great struggle and sslf-sRcriAoes that
have brought West Virginia schools to
their present standing, He spoke Of the
freedom Of the meeting, the freedom OF
the schools, and the great work for FREQ
dom 10 be accomplished by tho schools.
Such meetings az these cannot be-
held in Russia without leave from
tho higher powers. Even Bismarck, who
to-day has bis hand on the
central forces Of Europe is afraid Of the
freedom Of suCh meetings, and now tbs
meetings Of five and ak hundred OF DER
man teachers do not take place as they
used to do.
He complimented the members Of tho
Board OF Education on so many OF thslr
members being present. He had attended
Inatitutes where the Board OF Education
did not know that such a meeting was in

MEXICAN REFORM.

The System Of the states Collecting Inn
port Duties ON Goods In Trnusit Abol-
ished.
CITY OF MEx1co. Nov, 27.-An impor-
tant economic reform was formally pro-
claimed yesterday. A movement has been
going on for some time for putting an end
to the system of taxation whereby the
States collected duties on national and for
eign merchandise in transit through their
respective territories, q system which has
been pronounced by railway managers more
commerce Of the country than any
other plan that could have been
devised. In May last constitu-
ti0nsl amendment was submitted to the
States fOrbidding the imposition Of transit
duties, import duties on products OF other
States and on the expectation Of merchan-
disc, either manufactured articles or pro-
ducts of the soil. The amendment also forbids
the States to assign special routes for the
conveyance of goods of native origin, as has
heretofore been done: also to put higher
duty on foreign goods than will be fixed
by federal law. 1t Is expected that Con-
gress will fix q uniform tax of five per
cent. ad valOrem. This amendment having
been adopted by the majority of the
States has received the sanction Of
both chambers of Congress and was
proclaimed in the usual form, being read in
various points in the city and copies Of it
posted on walls. The ceremony took place
between nine o'clock and noon yesterday,
troops forming part of the official process.

Is Not Acting According tn Agreement.

days past trouble has existed between the
train men of the Southern Pacific Company,
Atlantic system, and the railroad officials.

men visited New Orleans to present their
grievances and arbitrate with the managers
of the company regarding wages. The
railway authorities, in order tn definitely
settle the big strike Of last win

with the brakemen which the latter
claim is not now being enforced. and they
assert that unless the matter is soon recti-

Pearcy, who has been on an expedition to
Greenland for the purpose of satisfying
himself as to the feasibility Of travelling
across that country and thus opening a new
route for Arctic explorers, arrived here yes
terday on his way home to the United
States. Landing at Danish settlement on
the west coast of Greenland, he jOurneyed
eastward for one hundred miles over un.
broken fields Of snow. He then re-
turned to the starting place. This was his
principal journey. and he was accom-.
panied on it by Danish official. He made
several short journeys alone. His Observa-
lions and experience satisfied him that
Greenland could be crossed from west II
east by future expeditions to the North
Pole. On u hundred mile trip, Pearcy and
his companions had TO travel on snow shoes
and haul sleds containing their provisions
themselves, tho snow being too soft for the
dogs They experienced no hardships and
returned to the coast In good condition. On
reaching point 100 miles inland. the ele-

THAT POLICE SCANDAL.

Dissatisfaction With the Decision OF tho
District CommissiOners-The Presidents
Views.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 26.-The decision of
the District Commissioners in the police
scandal case continues to excite a great deal
of comment. Disagreement with the YER
dict and dissatisfaction with the dismissal
of Lieutenant Arnold are heard everywhere.
On one point there seems To be pretty
general agreement in public, and that is
that Major Walker, however excellent
in his intentions and integrity, is not
the proper person to fill the position
of superintendent Of police. Prior
to the decision, members Of Congress gem
orally were quite indignant, and some
threaten Congressional investigation I'M.
less the Commissioners gave a satisfactory
verdict, but the retirement of Major Walker
seems to have appeased Congressional
wrath, and members are now apparently
willing to let the matter drop. Colonel
Lamont, the Presidents private secretary,
according to the Star last evening, il au-
thOrity for the statement that the President
has lost no sleep on account OF the police
muddle. This remark was not intended,
however, to convey the i'm. ressi0n that the
President took no interest in the matter.
but rather that no did not feel inclined
to interfere either by expressing an
opinion relating strictly to District affairs.
The Critic on the other hand, publishes an
interview with gentleman who had talked
with the Chief Magistrate, and reports him
saying: 'The President takes . deep in

The cattle plague among the herds on

About two months ago a mad dog was

The fearful storms that recently ragged
over Nebraska were quite destructive to
stock in Platte County. Eighty-two head
were lost by drifting into the Loup and
Platte rivers. E. v. Wells lost $50 head Of
sheep, and the loss in hogs could not be
fully estimated, but which is alarming,
and portends financial embarrassment to
many farmers. In the northern and west
ern part Of the State large numbers Of
hogs and cattle wandered aimlessly over
the prairies. and numbers of them sue
cumbed to the terrible blizzard that ragged
increasingly for three days.

FARM NOTES.

Turnips are native food for sheep
Farmers in England feed scarcely any thing
else.
All giant or tall growing celeries should
be avoided; as a rule they are always more
hollow, give twice the labor to work, and
are inferior in flavor to the dwarf growing
sorts.
Hyou have not saved seed corn do so at
once. Dependence upon selecting seed
from the crib in the spring gives irregular
and slow termination even when q favor
able autumn and winter has prevented
serious damage to the cribbed corn.
Onions require dry barn or stable loft
in order to keep through winter and should
not be packed more than eight or ten
inches deep, with a foot of straw over them
to keep out the frost. In the extreme
north some fire protection may be neces-
sary. For family use string can be hung
up in any part of the cellar.
Dick Aliens late husking bee in Custer
County, Neb.. stands at the head as busy
and business-like undertaking. A forty
acre patch of corn was tackled, and besides
the farmers engaged, doctors, lawyers,
merchants, liverymen, politicians and
newspaper men were represented. Twelve
hundred bushels OF corn we're cribbed, and
the bee closed with jolly dance. and feast
furnished by the farmers wives and daugh-
ters.
Only few vegetables can be wintered
outdoor in the North without protection.
Parsnips are among the exceptional vege-
tables which tho winter does not destroy,
and except for use while the ground 10
frozen, may be left in the soil. Satisfy or
vegetable oyster is Of . similar nature, but
beets, turnips and carrots will not stand
excessive cold; to retain the fresh, crisp
flavor, they should b taken up a. late -
possible, and placed in . cool cellar or in
pits, with earth and straw enough over
them to prevent freezing.
The man who leaves either his house out
Of repair or his barn, stable or other out
buildings in . dilapidatsd state until the
storms of winter set in not only runs .
great risk Of health to his family and
stock, but adds, as q rule, very largely to
the money cost of their keeping. Warmth
is now SO generally considered Of prime
importance in lessening the cost Of keep
ing that no sensible man questions it,
economy. No matter how rough the struc-
tuke is made il it be warm.
The Farmers Union had the largest
gathering at Oakland, Neb., the other day
they have ever had. The object Of the
meeting was to consider the propriety o
reducing the required capital, $4,000, TO
commence business on according to the by.
laws to $1,000, so that they might be able
to commence operations Immediately. The
proposition was voted down. They have
about $1,000 raised, have their bylaws
printed and evidently mean business.
Burt County farmers are determined to
get out Of the clutches of the elevator
monopoly by building grain houses Of their
own and operating them without the inter-
ference Of grasping middlemen.
