Every body knows that there has been
bad feeling between Senator Edmunds. OF
Vermont, and Jas. G.. Blaine, of Maine.
since the Presidential election of 1884
At the funeral Of the late Ex-President
Arthur, both Elmuuds and Blaine were
present. When Mr.. Blaine entered the
parlor of Mr. Arthur's house, Mr.. Ed
munds was sitting on the sofa with Col.
McMichael. Mr.. Blaine bowed TO Col.
McNichael, but took no notice Of the
Vermont statesman. Mr. Edmunds
arose, advanced few steps with out
stretched hands 10 greet Mr.. Blaine.
Mr.. Blaine refused to shake hands. tax
ing no notice OF Mr. f., whose face
flushed slightly as he returned to the sofa
after this direct cut. Clearly Mr. Ed
munds wanted to make up, else he would
not have proffered his hand. The
P!umed Knight has made a great mis-
take in refusing 10 acknowledge Mr.. Ed
munds' geutlemanly effort to renew old
friendship, and the Vermont Senator on
his part has acted rs no one else than
gentleman would.
Blaine has shown by this action his in
ability to rise above personal animosity,
ard had he been elected President any
one can see how little lis impartiality
could have been depended on. He is a
great and selfish man, and one TO whom
1t would be dangerous to intrust large
political power.

School Money.

Our esteemed correspondent, Rev. J.

school money matters. But we are not.
The two mills levied, together with the
amount coming from the State and the
balance on hand from last year, will he
ample 10 carry on the schools for the
present school year. We explained why
the County Commissioners did not levy

needlessly created a surplus. The School
Board was requested to hand in an esti-

which they did do. II their estimate
was too low, it was their fault and not
that of the Commissioners. The Com
missiouers gave them 81 400 more than
they asked for. This is matter OF pub

As to complying with the law. the
Commissioners have, no doubt, done so,

The grain markets have been more ac-

and partly made, has not been well sus-
tanned, and in the face Of signs that
should point to the contrary. the prices
remain nearly as they we're.
There Il certainly no good reason for
this inaction in wheat prices. They
should go higher, and in the ordinary
course of things, must. The time will
most probably be when the heavy dealers
in Chicago will have filled their contract
cards to suit an advancing market. Our
readers have been told before about this
Chicago deal.
The wool markets remain without
much change. Some ueavy sales were
made last week in Boston, OF low grades.
at prices slightly shaded this is nearly
balanced by other sales made at figures

count of good grades having sold AT cut

Cotton has been selling freely during

present week show continuance of this.
