An election was held in this city last
evening, which did not create much ex-
element, but which will have much to
do with the forward development Of the
city. 1t was the annual election for
teachers OF the Lancaster public schools.
Those who give their lives to the teach
ing OF the young idea have most I'M
portant influence in moulding the des.
tinies of the state, for the boy and girl
whom they develop become the men and
women who drive the chariot in the
worlds progress. 1t is most important,
therefore, that teachers should be good
men and women, for the example of their
lives is certain to be more influential than
The precepts that they inculcate.
In the teachers election last evening a
most curious development was reached.
When all we've chosen, it was found that
not change in the teaching force had
taken place, due to death, resignation or
other cause. 1t was the first time in
many years that this had happened.
Death generally steps in to call away at
least one of the faithful, or matrimony
causes the fair school teacher to narrow
her sphere Of rule to one home. Neither
ensct Is apparent this year, which shows
snat our school teachers are vigorous in
health, but lacking in that courage
which finds in leap year an open road To
matrimony.

Striking Figures.

The annual report Of Collector Mac
Gonigle Of the revenues from the Ninth
internal revenue district are published
to-day and will attract widespread in
terest. The fiscal year ended on June 80
and up O that time s1,79i Ol6.25 were
collected, as against 81, ,Gss, 1927 &c for the
previous year.
In examining the figures il is seen that
the bulk Of the revenue comes from
cigars, spirits and beer in the order
named. There is notable increase In
the returns from all of these, which is
only partially explained by tie addition
of the counties Of Huntingdon, Blair and
Bedford since the last report. But even
allowing for these, there is great
increase in the old district. 1t Is not
surprising that study Of these figures
convinced the president that the seat of
this enormous revenue district was
entitled to public building.

THE Philadelphia Inquirer very justly
calls tho New York Herald to order for
Its sarcastic comment In a description OF
Pennsylvanis mining life that recently up.
peared In Harper's Weekly. The last
named periodical had described the life OF
the Pennsylvania miner as q purely ami
NAL existence. Z" From days end to days
end, year In and year out, the miners and
their families piod along on their hard,
toiisome, brutalizlng, grimy path to the
grave, joyless and hopoiesr, their wretohed
homes In keeping with their still more
wretched lives"
This the Herald pretends satirIcalIy to
deny by going to the other extreme and
asserting that " under the benign inii uence
OF protective tarIfl misery and want are
unknown, and plenty smiles at the hearth.

American Citizens Abroad.

The Democratic party has always been
earnest In its determination to protect
the American citizen in whatever part of
the globe he may be found in distress.
An evidence Of this may be seen in the
action Of the state department in the case
OF DR.. Thomas Gallagher, q former
Brooklyn physician, who Is imprisoned in
England for political offense. The
action in this case was not begun until
after conviction and, therefore, could not
Dc as potential as 1t would have been had
she United States authorities been In.
voked In the first instance. But Presi-
asnt Cleveland wrote a strong letter
about the case TO Secretary Bayard, who
~ turn wrote personal appeal through
AN ser Phelps for clemency from the
court Of st. James.
The president makes an excellent sug-
gestion when he fayors the establishment
OF central bureau Of record of the de.
cress OF naturalization granted by the
various courts OF the United States

Had this been In effect In 1883, John Cur.
tin Kent, naturalized citizen of the
United States, might have been saved from
his present imprisonment for life. But his
American citizenship was not pleaded on
his trial, and to go into the fairness Of
his trial Eve years after the conviction
would be hopeless labor. And so the
House committee on foreign affairs
found.
But the Democratic action in these
two cases shows clearly that under this
administration the rights Of American
citizens in foreign countries will be pro.
tected with sleepless vigilance.
