Colored children progress rapidly in
school till they reach the grade, then
sort of palsy strikes them. The su-
perintendent thinks this is because the
work up to that grade consists chiefly
of memorizing, at which they are
good, but when original thought il
needed they are weak, do not ex-
actly contradict him, but suggest that
part Of it may be due to the fact that
when they reach that grade they know
more than their parents, and receive
no stimulus by association with them
or an older person, ! have noticed
the same failure at that stage in white
children of ignorant parents, though,
to be sure, that too, may be due to in
herited incapacity,

week the old man went down to see
them. lie proposed bear hunt, and
they were fortunate enough to track a

IF Mr.. Cleveland has decided to
stand by his Attorney General, as re.
port says. so much the worse for Mr..
Cleveland. The latter mistakes great.
ly if be thinks there is a disposition
to hound down Mr.. Garland. The ex.
posure of the telephone scandal was
made in a Democratic paper which
aided 10 electing the present Admins.
tatioa, and the severest things that
have said concerning Mr.. Garland
have appeared in Democratic papers.
The Republican papers have con-
tanned no more urgent demands upon
the President to free his Administra-
tion from the scandal by asking for
Mr.. Garlaud's resignation than have
appeared in such Democratic organs
as the New York San, the Utica OF.
server aud the Rochester Union. Many
other Democratic papers also have
frankly admitted that if a prompt and
complete denial was not made of the
facts already published the scandal
was a grave one and compromising to
the Administration. So if Mr.. Cleve.
land decides to keep Mr.. Garland in
his Cabinet he will be giving only an
other instance Of his cOntemptuous
disregard of advice from his own party
organs. Phila Press.

ment those who do not know Sam in
timately, and the means the Free
Traders can avail themselves of to
convince him when they really want

at the fact that the proposed new tariff

most facile talking machines the Free

is nothing in that to be so much sur

GOVERNOR FORAKER, of Ohio, has
dismissed from Office the Cincinnati
Board of Police Commissioners. The
grounds for dismissal were stated as
official misconduct in keeping on the
force men of notorious characters and
wholly unfit to hold any kind of place
on the force. Upon the hearing of
the charges, the defense was, that the
pardon of the Policeman Mullen had
condoned his offense, and he stood as
if no such charges had ever been made
against him. The counsel OF the
Board also plead that the Governors
jurisdiction did not extend to the Ie.
moval of the Board except on the
Judgment of the courts. The Commits.
sioners refuse to recognize their re
moval and have issued orders to the
police inspectors to refuse to obey any
orders but what come through the
Board. What is called the "boodle
gang" and the "coal oilers" seem to
be determined to do as much as in
them lies, to hold on to power, and
prevent publication, even to the ex-
tent of riot and bloodshed.

His Fee Was Too small.
Washington Letter IN Chicago Ne,Os.

Washington Letter IN Chicago Ne,0s.
One day last week the senior member
of firm of local patent attorneys re-
ceived a call from a gentleman who
represented a syndicate of English
stockholders in valuable patent. There
was some dispute as to the priority of
invention, which resulted in the gentle
man in question being sent to this
country to engage the services of a com
petent attorney to make the necessary
research and report. The fee finally
agreed upon was retainer of $3.50 and
$50 day additional for every day en-
ployed. The retainer was paid and the
Englishman left. He returned the fol-
lowing morning and asked for private
interview with the senior partner. When
they were alone, the Englishman, with
some embarrassment, said:
Il have come to speak with you about
the retainer you received yesterday. l
would like your permission to change
the amount
Il am sorry you regard my charges
6sYfeevSfsiYs sYfse vfsiiYEs the attSTney began when
at all. I've called to learn if you have
any objection to making it larger. You
see, he continued 'if wrote to my
people that you had charged me only
S25o they might think you a second
rate man, whereas if you increase the
amount they will value your services ac-
cordingly. l know you are all right be-
cause inquired particularly about you.
but the syndicate l represent do not and
I am first of all desirious of pleasing
them
The attorney was equal to the occa-
sion. very WE'LL said he, suppose
we call it $500. Cant you make it
s1,ooo2' said his visitor, anxiously.
The attorney nodded afirmatively,
whereupon the Englishman laid down
the money and left the office with the
air of man who had won great VIC
tOrV.
