The evidence against Senator Payne,
of Ohio, seems to be taking more sub
stantial and tangible form than here
tofore. The difficulty has been to con-
meet Payne personally with the money
bargains effected to obtain his election
to the Senate, and there now seems to
be something like cleary defined trail
to the Senator's consciousness. 1t is
probable that an investigation will have
to be made, which will touch some
prominent Ohio Democrats.

''The Grand Old Fraud Another "Let
il Die Article from the Same Source.

Chicago Times, June 10: That which
poes by the name of Democrat party is
manifested only in the forms, terms,
and methods Of an election machine.
1t is not formation Of electors around
any undecided political question. 1t
is not formation of representatives
around any political question. Though
it is y name applied to majority OF
representatives, II is not a union of that
majority in any political purpose. 1t
is not party that guides, directs, or
controls the representative decision or
the political policy of the nation on any
public question. 1t is not the govern
ing party. The proof of this has been
furnished by fatal division among the
representatives of its name on every
public question of Importance that has
entered Congress since a majority APP
peared there cUnfeSsing their election
by its machine.
1t is an organized fraud. 1t is a hyp-
ocritical sham. 1t is name of con-
duration TO capture the votes of cleo
toral fools for the profit of olGce-seek-
ing knayes The knaves that conjure
by it are df every political color, race,
aud tribe, as well as nondeseriptS.
They are protectionists and free-traders
civil-service reformerS and incorrigiblc
spoilsmen; progressive Liberals aud re-
dictionary Bourbons; demagogS on every
side of every public question, united in
nothing but habit of seeking their
personal advancement by methods Of
fraud
When Randall and Morrison. projec-
zionist and free-trader, entered the
same church, sat lovingly in the same
pew. subscribed TO the same pretended
articles Of faith, they knew that they
were playing before the country q game
of deceit. When the foremost free
trader aud the foremost proteetioniSt
united to place in the Speakers chair a
man who would place them where they
could most effectively divide the pre-
tended governing party against itself,
they knew and be knew that it was q
proceeding of political dishonesty. The
consequence was what every rational
being foresaw Did they not intend the
rational consequence of their perform
ance? 1t cannot be said that they were
so feeble of understanding as not to
perceive it, They saw the effect in the
preceding Congress, and. seeing 1t. pro-
ceeded deliberately to repeat the game
of fraud in this Congress.
Again the country witnesses the same
result: witnesses the cumulative proof
that that which goes by the name of
Democrat party is not political party.
nor a body of representatives capable
of party government; but ring of
place-hunting gamblers on popular
credulity, cooperating only to prevent
party government and to maintain an
embargo on political progress.

ATTENDANCE

The average percentage of attend
ance has advanced from 49, IN 49, '83
to 80 in 1886. Punctuality has shown
gratifying improvement. The cases of
hardness for the last year were only
3S7, of those in 82-'93. For the spring
term of 1886 the number was only 147,
of that for '83; in the High School it
was 207 and in Room + but 69. But
even more encouraging than these re-
suits Is the pu'1ctttaI spirit which now
pervades the school, and which will
make continued improvement in pune
tualty easy next year.
Concerning the important matters of
application to study, thoroughness of
work, department, ambition for an edu-
cation, and the general influence of the
school in regard to the development of
character, your own knowledge of the
school will exempt me from any asser-
tons. | may say, however, that at no
former term has the dominant DISPOSE
ton of the pupils seemed to me so COM
mendablc as the last, and | am conf
dent that at no previous time haYe my
own relations with them been as
pleasant.
1t seems to me that the students are
easier to control, more respectful and
obedient, more truthful and honorable
than at any previous time. Such con-
dition has been the aim of my course in
discipline, and | am gratifed if the
hoped for result has been attained |
believe that the best kind of govern
ment is that which impresses a senti-
ment and disposition of seif-go0ernment.
| am glad to leave the school in a
condition where continued improve
ment may be reasonably expected in
the future. From this time mo steps
Backward ought to be the motto of
the school; and | trust it will take
many forward.

Mr.. Gladstone has issued fervent
and straightforward election manifesto
to his Midlothian constituents. 1t is
somewhat remarkable for the breadth
of view with which it discusses the
home rule issue, ignoring all questions
of details or administration, and placing
sharply before the country the two
alternatives of home rule or coercion as
the Liberal and Tory plans respective ly
for the government of Ireland. This
seems to indicate belief on the part Of
Mr.. Gladstone that he has only the
Tories to deal with and that the differ
enccs that disrupted his cabinet do not
correspond to equally vital and fatal
differences III his party, If this is in
fact Mr.. GladstOne's view, and if it is
correct, his task is comparatively an
easy one As between Liberal and
Conservative rule for the whole empire,
or between policy of Cancellation or
coercion for Ireland. the decision of the
British elections could hardly be doubt
full. 1t is not certain, however, that
the election issue can be confined TO
these broad lines. Tho Liberal Union
lists, as they call themselves, will insist
upon discussing the details of CLAD
stones plan of home rule, and it is in
the mental confusion thus introduced
among the electors that his danger lies

The House Committee on. Invalid
Pensions has agreed to amalgamate the
substitute for the Blair bill pensioning
disabled soldiers with the bill to increase
the rate of pension of soldiers who have
lost a leg or arm, and to attach to the
combined bills a clause imposing an in
come tax to meet the expenditure in
volved. The only intelligent purpose of
such u provision is TO make pensions
odious to an influential class by coupling
them with an income tax. AT present
the expenses of pensions are met mostly
by the revenue tax ON whisky and tobac-
co. 1t is an indisputable fact that the
men who carried muskets in the Union
army during the war saved the govern
ment, and with it the material prosper
ity of the country, from ruin, and there
is no more reason why their pensions
for disability should depend on an in
come tax than that the salaries of Con-
gressmen or of President Cleveland
should depend ON a similar tax.

nocuous desuetudep The present
course of study was prepared with con-
siderable labor and has received the
approval of number of able educa-
tors. 1t is more advanced than the
former, allows graduates to enter the
State University, and entities the High
School to a place on the accredited
list Within this time four graduates
have received first-grade certificates of
high standing, and two others have
creditably entered the University.
Every grade in the school is noticeably
in advance of the corresponding grade
four years ago, some of them being
more than a year ahead. Probably not
more than thirty students then were up
to the present High School course.
Two High School classes in Arithmetic
and two in Language were behind the
lowest present grade of the High School.
In 1881 the State superintendent
report places the average attendance at
10, and the number studying Algebra
and German at s; with none in Natural
Sciences, Ancient Languages or Modern
Languages; and that was the ground
for objection to the present high course
of study. The last year the average
attendance was about 60, the number
in Algebra and German was 20, the
number in Latin 81, the number who
studied German was s, and in Natural
Sciences 20.

ENROLMENT.

Statistics prior to the years 1882 and
1888 are meager, and it is difficult to
make comparisons. The total enroll
ment has increased about fifty during
four years. In the High School the
growth has been sure and slow, if num-
bers alone are considered; but rapid if
it is remembered that the nominal
membership in 'S2 included large
number who were behind the High
School course. A considerable hind
rance have also been the removals from
the city and the small promotions from
the Grammar Department. The recent
steadi1seSs Of enrolment is noteworthy.
Fewer students have withdrawn during
