Our visitors thought Newport the
most beautiful and finished watering
place in America. Nature was in the
lovcliest mood when it was created, and
art has generally followed her sugges-
tons of beauty and refinement. They
did not agree with the cynic who said
that Newport ought TO be walled in. and
have n gate with an inscription, None
but millionaires allowed here" 1t is
very easy to get out of the artificial
Newport and to come into scenery that
nature has made after artistic designs
which artists are satisfied with. A
favorite drive of our friends was to the
Second Beach and the Purgatory Rocks
overlooking it. The photographers and
the water-color artists have exaggerated
the Purgatory chasm into a Colorado
canon, but anybody can find 1t by help
of guide. The rock of this locality is
a curious stu,ly. 1t is an agglomerate
made of pebbles and cement, the peb-
bles being elongated as if by pressure.
This rock is sometimes found in de-
tached fragments having the form of
tree trunks. Wherever it is fractured,
the fracture is q clean cut, as if made by
saw, and through both pebbles and
cement, and the ends present the APP
pearance of a composite cake filled with
almonds and cut with knife. The
landscape is beautiful. Charles Dudley

yoked to strong common sense and honesty
of purpose is Thoroughly appreciated by the
American people,"
Let US note that this term pension u0tces
is applied to the soldiers, to the men, who at
the call of their country in it's hour of ex-
treme peril, shouldered the musket and went
to the fro mt and made it possible for Grover
Cleveland to be president of u sound and
united nation.
Other nations possess vast standing ar
mics, the support of which is far greater
drain on their resources than all the pen
sions which we bestow, but America, III a
time of great emergency, appealed TO the
patriotism of her citizens, and enough were
found TO respond TO the call to voluntarily
accept the dangers and duties of soldiers
life, TO crush the enemies of the nation and
to bring TO a successful issue the greatest
struggle of modern times; To enable oul
country To enter anew upon career OF
prosperity that has no parallel in history.
And the men to whose efforts this benef-
cent result is primarily due, we find party
ready to stigmatize with the opprobrious
epithet pension loolces who think it great
fun, forsooth, for the president to ridicule
the humble soldier because of the intirmi-
ties engendered in his country's defense.
Shame upon the sordid, ungrateful spirits
which would withhold the gratitude and fos-
tering care Of the nation, from those who
gave their lives or health that its existence
might be secure. G. ID. LAwToN.

The Schoolboys' Strike.

The most interesting conditions laid
down in behalf of any set of strikers are
those which we find in the Indianapolis
Sentinel propounded by lot of school
boys inspired with an ardent desire for
reform in the methods of public educa-
ton:
/. A reduction in the hours of study.
2. An increase in the periods of re-
cess.
3. Noon to begin at IL o'clock and
extend to ! 80 or two, according to the
condition of the weather.
4. School shall let out any afternoon
when there is baseball match or a
circus within fifteen miles.
5. Any scholar who wants reward
of merit" to carry home to his parents
can have it at wholesale at cost price.
6. Ferrules to be made of soft wood.
z. The old-time custom of furnishing
boys by compelling them to sit with the
girls shall be Immediately restored.
s. A boy who holds up his right hand
and says, please, sir. may / go out?"
shall be allowed to 90, whether it be
necessary or not.
9. The number of boys allowed to 90
and fetch pail of water shall be in
creased from two to four, with proper
allowance for time consumed in going
and coming.
10. No boy shall be punished for Of
fensive words spoken in debate with an
other boy.
IL. While believing in arbitration on
general principles, we insist that two
boys who have grudge to settle shall
be allowed to fight it out between them
selves. No teacher need apply whip
on account of il.
II. A boy who tells on another boy
shall be boycotted.
Is. No boy shall be kept after school
except at his own request as when an
other boy is lying in wait to lick him.
The exception to the principle of arbi-
tration laid down in the eleventh article
is, we think, to be commended, and we
judge that people generally will agree
that this schoolboys' strike is quite as
sound as many of those that have made
a great stir in the world of late.
