GENERAL FAIRCHILD has been stirred
up again and has once more struck the
attitude of Ajax defying the lightning.
It was an unrepentant rebel who stirred
him this time He becomes a majestic
figure when he's mad as witness the fol-
lowing description by The Milwaukee
Sentinel:
Then with the fire of his sturdy, val
liant soul blazing from his eagle eye, and
in voice suffused with hardly suppress
ed emotion these words burst from the
generals lips"
All, there was an exhibition worthy
Homeric description and fortunately
there was one person capable of doing it
justice. Notice how the soul sought is
suance through the eagle eye and the
liberty Of poetic license taken with the
word 'suffused," is no doubt amply JUS
titled by the poverty OF language to ac-
curately describe the quality of Fair
child's voice when the words were burst
ing from his lips.
The thing was volcanic,-the eagle eye
blazing, the burning words bursting, but
with commendable forethought "'suf-
fused with hardly suppressed emotion, ,
so that they were really not as dangerous
as one might suppose from the direful
appearance of the eagle eye.
These are the words which came
bursting" while the valiant" and stur-
dy soul was on fire and shooting flames
from the eagle eye:"
Another adjustment, forsooth! and by
whom? By the eternal gods-ace will
make that adjustment and no one else!
Is it not meet that ace, of all men and
women should rather protest against the
PRONUNCIATION of treasonous doctrine like
this? Written in this year of grace by
an unrepentant rebel-with his head
still upon his shoulders by our grace
One can not possibly realize the grand
eur of the eruption from these words,
now mere scoria. But the next best
thing to seeing Fairchild in action, belch-
ing forth molten words-prudently
'suffused'-is to read The Sentinel's
description. That faithfully portrays the
magnificent spectacle

The editor of The Times is mistaken.
The Pilot does not wish to put him sin
record as anti-Irish or anything else,
and does not care fig what his opinions
regarding that nationality are. 1t is rea-
sonably certain every Irishman in the
county is likewise Indifferent concerning
his opinion. The only possible interest
that can attach to a statement of such
maudlin imbecility as that there are four
Irishmen on the democratic ticket in this
county to one German, is its palpable dis
regard for truth and its being manifes-
tation of bigotry which happily most men
are too broad and intelligent to cherish.
1t is much to the credit Of the American
people that, it may safely be asserted, in
the United States it would be difficult to
find another paper, beside The Times
which would publish the names of Off
GERS OF a certain nationality, and then
grossly utter the comment "too much
Irish" The Germans of this county have
some reason to feel that In the distribu-
ton of offices their preponderance of
numbers is not fully recognized, if ma
tionality be made test of fitness for Of
fee. But not even in the freedom OF con-
versation or in the license of jest, has one
of them, in behalf of his countrymen,
manifested the low instinct of the know
nothing to the extent of publishing the
names of county officers with view to
creating national prejudice.
The Pilot has no sort of interest In the
predictions or antipathies of "us" for
any nationality. He is free to hatter or
condemn and no Irishman will deprecate
his wrath or feel iubilant over his praise
The utterance of The Times on this cues
ton, as contribution to social ethics,
deserves little notice, being typical of
that old narrowness which prevailed
when man was judged by his religion
and his birthplace. The class belongs
moro to history than to the living pres
ent, and when a specimen is found still
existing, it naturally creates curiosity and
even arouses interest. but certainly does
not create concern lest its widowed no.
tons should influence public sentiment.

THE Smell murder is the all-absorbing
topic these days. Circumstances point
clearly to young man named Tascott,
son of respectable parents and well-to-do.
The alleged murderer is worthless
young fellow disinclined to work and has
been engaged in a number OF burglarles,
having served one year in prison In Lou
isyille. There cannot be much doubt
that he is the guilty party as tools which
he purchased were found in the Smell res
idence and papers taken from the muir
dered mans house were found partially
burned In q stove where Tascott was seen
to put them. He has not yet been found
and the Chicago police are publishing
everything they do and intend doing, so
as to give him every opportunity to escape.
1t is said Tascott purposed burglarlz-
ing his fathers house. He stole from
friends who sought to aid and reform
him, and seemed to be wholly devoid OF
gratitude.

an educational agency SURPRISING In val
ue tie financial assistance which the gen
eral government might give. 1t stimu-
lates the people to healthful activity and
when it is withdrawn, Is very apt to be
followed by indifference. This tendency
of the state to perform the parents duty
is extremely dangerous. The writer has
always questioned the ACCESSIBILITY of the
oce-nill tax levied In this state for the
benefit of the public schools and increas-
ed familiarity with the operation of that
law confirms him In the belief that it is
mistake. 1t has not furnished the
school districts with a larger fund and
has just lessened the local tax by the In
creased amount which the district receives
from the county and the state In conse-
quence of this law.
Thus local effort has been diminished
and local interest has suffered cores
| ponding diminution. The state has
usurped function of the parent and has
deprived him of a feeling of responsibility
which was decidedly advantageous to the
child. It is difficult to estimate the value
of the annual school meeting when par
ents felt that they had to furnish the
means for carrying on the school, and the
willingness with which they taxed them
selves begot the determination to secure
all the advantages for their children

could purchase. The school meeting to-
day is hfeless formality compared with
| what it was before the mistaken Gberahty
of the state robbed it of vitality.
The people of the southern states need
purpose more than they do financial as
sistance. Before they profit to the fullest
extent from the schools they must have
built them up by personal effort and
even personal sacrifice. Government
paternalism is dangerous thing and
educational facilities should never out
run the desire to use them. After all, 6
man values most what contains his OWL
labor. There can be no royal road to {
good system of public schools any more
than to learning. The common schoo
earns appreciation through trial and op
position.
The best schools in this country arr
} those in which in the comparatively early
days there was contest between the ad
vocates Of low taxes and high taxes. Thu
: duties of parents with reference to tn,
education of their children, and the ad
vantages of procuring good teachers were
I discussed at these meetings and the PEG
pie were educated to the idea of taxing
themselves to procure all necessary edu
cational facilities. Improvements Away
kept pace with growing sentiment anC
the impressions then made are still lasting
: The Blair bill donates money but weak
ems purpose and will prove detrimental
rather than beneficial.

THERE is no longer much doubt that
Gen. Sheridan was born in Ireland. A
Philadelphia cousin seems to put the
matter beyond doubt, as he says he car
RED Phil about in his arms while in Ire
land. The reason given for young Sher-
ldan's registering at West Point as an
American born, was the prejudice then
existing against the Irish people. 1t was
an era of acknowledgement. Having start
ed out in deception as to his birthplace
to protect himself from insult, Sheridan
naturally disikes to acknowledge it now.

submitted tomorrow. It is said that
wool, lumber and salt will be added to
the free list. The duty on steel rails will
be reduced from ST to So per ton and a
reduction of $3.50 per ton on pig iron is
made. Tho specific duty on WOODEN goods
is taken off and cut OF 90 per cent. is
made on the higher grades of cloth and
still more On the cheaper grades. The
tax is taken off tobacco except cigars and
cigarettes. The reduction will lessen the
annual tax by SS0,000,000.

BLAIR, in his speech on his educational
bill, took occasion to abuse the Jesuists,
claiming that the opposition to the bill
was wholly of their making. Blair must
be more crank than statesman. Such a
sweeping assertion that every paper in
the country which opposed the bill was
influenced in its opposition by Jesuistic
influence, is simply the utterance of an
idiot

A MILWAUKEE freshman, hearing, no
doubt, of Kress's distaste for Irish
officials and anxious to spare him from
further nausea, has made an attempt to
put Sheridan wholly out of the presi-
dental race by announcing that he (Sher-
idan) was born in Ireland. The man who
makes this assertion In Difference to
Harry's prejudice, claims to be a cousin
of "little Phil" and says he knows where
of he speaks. The plain fact is, there
does seem to be a little uncertainty as to
where the fighting general was born.

GENERAL PHIL.SHERIDAN says he would
not accept the nomination for the presi-
dency. A very wise resolution. Just
as soon as he entered the political arena
he would be compelled to engage in a
species of warfare for which he has no
taste. He will be more kindly thought
of If he let's politics severely alone. Be
sides 1t would be as easy for him to build
scaToldlng to the moon as to reach the
presidency. For every Irish vote he
would get, he would lose fully one thous-

bieotry, bat these do not elect Presidents.
