master General Dickinson is the first Demo | cratic Cabinet officer I've met in this admin 1 istration."
 Manual training in the schools is appreci- | ated in New York city. The city board of education recently decided to test the sys- tenn and selected twelve of the public schools, six for boys and six for girls, in various quarters of the city But none of these were near the old Union Theological building, now used by the Industrial Education associa- tion, and the latter decided to give the boys and girls in that vicinity chance. Notice
 was given that free classes would be estab-
 lished in drawing, clay modelling, wood
 work, sewing and cooking for pupils of
 nine years and upwards. The result was a
 surprise Over 1 200 pupils presented them
 selves and were accepted, and as many mere
 were turned away for lack of acoommoda-
 tions. Fourteen classes were formed, to
 urday, and in some of the branches lover flow classes" have been found necessary.
 The joint resolution which has passed the senate proposing an amendment to the con- stitution changing the date of the termina- tion of the sessions of congress, with the term of the President, from March 4th to the 3Oth day of April is one which might we'll have been passed long ago. There is no sense in inaugurating presidents in cold weather The bill provides that the term of office of the president and of the Fiftieth congress shall continue until the 30th day of April, 1889, at noon; that the senator whose existing term would otherwise expire on the 4th of March, 1889. thereafter shall continue in office until the 30th of April succeeding such expiration; that the 30th of April at noon shall thereaf- ter be substituted for the 4th of March as the commeneement and termination of the off, cial term of the president, vice president, senators and representatives in congress, and that the twelfth article of the amendments to the constitution shall be amended by striking out the words Fourth day of March" and substituting the words ''Thirtieth day of April at noon {"

REFORr IN BUFFALO.

It has been discovered in Buffalo, New York, that too many teachers in the public schools there have been appointed because they had "pull." The teachers have been practically appointed by the superintendent, he being the sole judge of the result of their examination for places The people. of Buff falo have walked up to the situation, and an attempt is being made to procure legislation this winter amending the city charter so as to create board of examiners for teachers, from whose eligible list, prepared through "open competitive examination" the super intendent shall be compelled to select his ap- pointees, giving the preference to those grad ed highest on the list.
 This civil service reform has the support of sixty clergymen (all there are in the city), forty physicians and long array of mer- chants and members of the bar. In fact, the list represents Buffalo from top to bottom in all grades and walks of life" No charge is made against the superintendent. The ad- dress simply says: With the rapid growth of the city, and the consequent increase in the number of schools, teachers and scholars, the duties of the superintendent of education, already burdensome, must largely increase. And although the superintendent may be en- tirely competent and sincerely desirous to execute faithfully the trust confded to him, yet the necessity of listening to the claims of multitude of applicants for situations, and to the importunities of their many friends, must render it extremely difficult, if not i'm possible in addition to his other duties, to ascertain in many cases the fitness of the teacher chosen, not to speak of the possibili- ty of claims being made upon him on politi- cal grounds.
 One of the leading citizens of Buffalo does not hesitate to speak his mind concerning the situation as follows; The most accom- plished teacher that our normal school can train for the service has no chance of ap- pointment as teacher in 8 Buffalo public school unless backed by political influence. Proof is not wanting. Gan anything be more humiliating, more degrading, more disgrace fuls Does not such fact justify revolutiona Of course out of our several hundred teachers we have many we'll qualified for the office; but the system opens wide the gate for in- competency.
 If there is any humbug in civil service re- form there is none in such reform as this. Success to the Buffalo reformers. There are good many cities in this country where their example could proftably be initiated.

new rail surface is constantly being pre- scented, the effect of this abrasive action is less on the rails than on the wheels. On the tread of the wheel flat place is worn, which is frequently found to be excessively hard, and presents surface marked with fine cracks. Whatever danger might arise from the extension of these cracks is avoided by the prompt turning down of the wheel to smaller diameter, although done for the purpose of restoring its cylindri- cal form.
