In their rage for retrenehment and re-
form, the Democrats who run the Inte-
rior Department have just turned adrift
a granddaughter of Thomas Jefferson,
who held clerkship at small salary
therein. The case is aggravated by the
fact that the lady has no other means of
support. and is charged with the care of
a helpless invalid brother. Democratic
economy is very freaky in its demon
strations.

THERE are better things to give than
gold and silver. If we can put new life
and hope into the heart of adiscoursged
man, so that he rises out of his weak
despair and takes his place again in the
ranks of active life, we have done far
better thing for him than if we bad put
our hands into our pockets and given
him money to help him nurse little
longer his miserable and unmanly de-
spair. The truest sympathy is not that
weak emotion which sits down and
weeps with a sufferer, but that wiser
love which, while it is touched by his
pain and grief ,and feels tenderly toward
him, seeks to put new strength into his
heart to enable him to endure bis suffer
ing In victorious way.

NEVER take part in family quarrels,
however sorely you may be tempted.
The belligerents are sure to cry truce
and make up their differences again.
when all who have ranged themselves
as partisans on either side will be sacri-
feed without mercy. Strict neutrality
is the only safe holding, and. with truth
and straightforwsrdness, and neither
fetching nor carrying, it is quite possible
to be friends with both impartially.

IT is we'll to be hospitable to all thought,
but in bondage to none. To preserve
this balance we should cherish the SYM
pathetic feeling when we read what is
contrary to our preconceived ideas and
exercise our critical faculty chiefly on
what comedies with them. If different
parties and sects, communities and ma
tions would observe this rule in reading
of each others doings and sayings, it
would blow away many unjust concep-
tions that now appear like thick wall
of separation between them but which
would then be found to be mere
cobwebs of the brain. Certainly, if
to discover truth be any part of the pur-
pose in reading, it can be attained only
in this way, for truth is many-sided, and
is never appreciated when viewed only
from single standpoint.

 A Harrisburg newspaper gives an account of curious incident which happened in g collection of wild animals in that city. For some time past one of the large elephants, brought over by some Cingalese, had shown signs of furious delirium, and it was at length decided to kill the animal, which was valued at 12,000fr. An Englishman had once offered to give 1000 marks, if the oc- casion presented itself, for the privilege of shooting the enraged beast. The sportsman was thereupon summoned by telegraph; but in the presence of the raging animal he became frightened, and gave up the inten- tion of bringing it down with 8 shot. Strangulation was then resolved upon as a around the neck of the elephant, which had been bound, and the two ends ot the chains were drawn tightly by means of tackle. Ten minutes afterward the colossal creature had ceased to live

THE HIGH SCHOOL PROBLEM

THE HIGH SCHOOL PROBLEM. One of the complaints made against high schools is that they do not fit young men to do good service to the community; that they educate them above working for their sup port, and then leave them there. There are enough facts to furnish basis for this com plaint, but there is another side to the uues- tion.
 There is at least one high school which has not turned loose upon the community lot of genteel and half educated paupers. This is the Providence high school, history of whose work has just been made public by its principal, MT. Hoyt. The period covered extends from 1943 to 1875. The number of boys in the school for this period is estimated at two thousand. The fields of labor which they have entered arc distributed as follows: One-quarter of them are producers, includ- ing in that class manufacturers, mechanics and farmers; one-half are distributors and exchangers, including mercantile pursuits, bookkeeping, banking, insurance and trans portation; and one-quarter in profession al life, using that term, in wide sense, to include teachers, editors, chemists, artists, actors, musicians, army and navy officers, etc., as well as clergymen, lawyers and phy- sicians.
 This is a good record. And & large pro- portion of the young men educated in the Providence high school have found their life work in Providence, and among its best citizens. Principal Hoyt very truly says that if the pupils in the high school were proper ly educated in the hand and the senses a smaller proportion would become account ants and salesmen. The Boston Herald states the situation well when it says: The commit nifty at large is greatly benefited by this higher education if it is kept sufficiently within the range of our industrial and prac- tical interests. The tendency is to make the education in the high school ornamental rather than broad, strong and invigorating. There is so much that bright youth ought to know before he leaves school for business that he is often stuffed with knowledge and ideas, rather than instructed how to use them. The education most needed is that which furnishes sharp intellects, honest pur- poses and ability to use the pen; and the l substance of the whole matter is that every l city and every town shall so train its youth | in brain and hand that they will remain at 1 home and develop industries suited to their i native place.

That Roll of Bills

To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 I saw an article in your paper of the 18th inst. saying that package of bills said to contain $75 was restored to me, for which paid seventy-ive cents. The facts are that the boy who found the roll of bills came to me holding up the roll, saying that a lady told him that this belonged to me for she saw me drop it.
 had not gone 100 feet from the place where it was found before it was restored to me. I gave the boy seventy-fve cents, what hsd in my pocket, and asked his name and address and told him would remember him, and have done so.
 Now I wish most heartily to..thank not only the boy, but also the lady who so kindly sent the money to me. A. E. DUDLEY.

 It seems unnecessary before you who al- ready know this question by heart even to outline it's more pr~minent features to-day. Five years of intelligent investigation into Indian rights and wrongs must have brought of pyramid of proof built by piling convinc- ing fact on fact. To aid us we have turned the pages of history down through century of every form of barbaric retaliation, to the day of Custer massacres, and Ponca removals and Piegan starvation, and the latest Apache raid. We have learned the significance of hundreds of treaties so unstable that they | might as we'll have been written in sand, and | treacherous wars followed by still more | treacherous peace, both marked by such suf- | fering borne by the red man, and such suffer l ing caused by his atrocities to the whites of | the frontier, as is written in blood and mark ed with shame beyond the cleansing of tears But further on how the pages brighten with @ record of such wonderful progress as gives already many tribes the right to be remem | bered with civilized nations; such as has taken from nearly one-half the men and boyi among the whole 260 ,000 Indians their wan

Consumption
 Conquered :!
WHEN THH DOCTORS COULD
 DO NO MORE.

l CHAS. A. CABRERA, B Hawley Street, Boston, Mass, writes:
 "One year ago I was apparently so far gone with Consumption that my life seemed only question of days rather than months. With my faith in the ability of physicians to help me all gone, I tried almost every known remedy, with no apparent benefit. Finally, as last resort, I was induced to try Dr. R. c. Flowers Lung Cordial The very first dose gave me relief, and with the first bottle I took new lease of life, and can honestly say to-day that one spoonful of this remedy is worth more to the sufferer from Lung troubles than gallon of any other known remedy. A bottle of it is now one of my choicest possessions, and at the first symptom of cough or cold fly to it for the relief it never fails to give"
 DR. FLOWERS LUNG COR. DIAL is without question the most wonderful Lung remedy ever discovered. It eradicates the germ of CONSUMPTION as no remedy has ever been known to do. It stands without a rival for COUGHS, COLDS, BRON- CHITIS, ASTHMA and CON- SUMPTION.
 Price $1 per bottle. A copy of Dr. Flowers Rules for the Treatment of Consumption ac- companies each bottle.
