PR0GREss IN EDUCATION.


 Education in this city is going bravely on, especially in "the public school system" Signs of this progress were plainly visible at the last meeting of the board. At that meeting some rather remarkable and inge- nious performances with the public money were reported by the committee on schools, and other members of the board who wanted to know anything about what was going on were politely or impoIitely told to mind their own business; it came out that important changes in the High school had been made without consulting the principal thereof; 1t appeared that the superintendent had made at least two different statements about the same matter, and that he was cunning enough to get along more or less comforta- ably with both of them; 1t was made plain that the chairman of the committee on from any inquisitive member of the board; it was revealed that an attempt to quietly "fre out" the efficient and capable teacher of mechanical drawing was fiat failure, even though the superintendent had found good man to take his place; and it came out that there was disposition on the part of some members of the board to keep one of the nest hard working principals out of his rights in the matter of salary.
 At the present rate of progress the New Haven schools will soon be looked up to. And the children who attend them have no excuse if they do not learn lessons of hon. es.y, good temper, straightforwardnsss and fair dealing from the performances at the meetings of the board. If we might pre- sume to offer any advice it would be that stenoeraphie reports of these meetings be made and used as reading lessons in ths schools

SPECULATION.

The New York law against bucket shops which has just been mads has called atten- tion to the manner in which speculation is carried on. The idea of the law is the sup- pression of all speculating where the actual delivery of the article speculated in is not in tended. Of course such law, If strictly and equally enforced, would stop much of the business done by the regular" brokers as well as that of the bucket shop men. But it Is easy enough to evade any such law, and it is therefore probable that not even the bucket shops will be disturbed by it.
 The question dealt with by this law ia pretty fine one. The United States Supreme court recently decided that contract made without any purpose to buy or pay for the property and with the understanding that only the difference between the price at pur- chase and price at sale shall be paid is essen tially a wager and void in law. Thus, in the light of this decision, the Legitimate specu- lator" upon margins is as oulpable as the bucket shop gambler. On the other hand, the Massachusetts Supreme court has decid- ed that anybody can lawfully go into the market and contract for the sale or purchase of property with the understanding between the principal and broker that the property purchased may be resold before the day of delivery, and the two contracts settled by mutual agreement-whieh means that only the difference between price at purchase and price at sale shall be paid. This is held to be legitimate speculation, but Judge Holmes, who gives the opinion, would require that actual sale. delivery or transfer of the prop- erty must at first have been contemplated.
 It is hard to draw the line between legiti- mate and illegitimate transactions; so hard that it is not probable that it will be sfec- lively drawn and maintained in New York or elsewhere

Women and Men Who Work Togeth-
 From the New York sun.l
 He was typical New Yorker, such as you see on the road in doeskin coat, on Change with rose in his buttonhole, or up as the Polo ground yelling to the players by their names. Now he was seated in 8 revolving chair in his office on Broadway, with his Derby hat pushed well back upon his thick, waving hair, and with one end of his big brown moustache in the rude and nervous grasp of his right hand.
 "Mad, D said he, "who wouldn't be mada I am trying to figure up whether this Is the day that my female secretary doesn't come or whether 1t is merely to be 6 morning when she is late. There are always days when they don't come, and the days when they are late are as frequent as they please to make them. This is the fourth girl have employed as an amanuensis, and I have about done with that kind. Girls in busi- ness have one, and only one, peculiarity apart from men-they come cheaper. And, let me tell you, that there is no more to be gained by getting cheap labor than by get- ting cheap food or clothes.
 "You take young man into yeur employ, and, if he is any good at all, he tries to an ticipate your wishes. to think for you, to help you beyond what you exact from him. His first and constant aim is to rise and to make himself worth more money and fit for higher place. This Is not the case with some men merely; it is the rule with the sex. Such qualities are woeth whatever man has ! to pay for them. A good male clerk is an. other hand to his employer; sometimes he is | like third lobe to your brain. The ablesi business men are those who select good as' sistants, and then let those assistants make them rich. By the Lord Harrya I'll fire \ this girl and never employ another as long as livel"

try wishes to derive some profit. A consular report to our State Department indicates that stall-fed cattle are unknown in the country, and that consequently the Argen- tine beef is not likely to compete successfully with that from North America in the Euro pean markets.
 A report is given of recent conversation between Senator Ransom of North Carolina and Assistant Postmaster-General Clarkson about the appointment of oolored postmaa- ters in the South. The senator urged: "You can readily see how unpleasant it must be for the refined, cultured people of the South to take thgEr letters from the hands of coarse negroes" 1T have heard that argument be- fore,n said Mir. Clarkson, s'and am, to tell the truth, getting little tired of it. Now, I want to ask you question or two. Are not the children of many of the refined, eul- tured people of the South reared by black nanny uursess Does not colored servant cook your meal, another wait on your table, another shave your face, and still another mix your toddy'for youa You admit that. Well, then, I'm unable to see why 1t is that if as babes you can take your nourishment from black breasts, if you can take your breakfasts from black hands, you can't also take your letters and newspapers from the hands of negro postmasters. At the office in question, senator, 8 oolored man will be appointed before night"
 A great impetus has been given to Russian industries within the last ten or fifteen years. Thus, in 1875 all the cotton mills of that country contained about 100000 spindles, while there are now, according to the latest reports 115, ,000, ,000 spindles, divided be- tween sixty-seyen mills. The number of cotton weaving establishments in Russia Is said to be 488, giving employment to more than 80, 900 hands, the total annual produc- ton being estimated at 56, ,000, ,00o roublss. There are also sixty-eisht mills for spinning woolen yarn, employing nearly 5000 hands, and producing goods every year valued at between five and six million roubles. The carpes manufacture employs some 800 hands, with product valued at half million rou- bles or more; while 190 works, averaging 100 operatives each, are engaged in producing light woolen tissues. The flax industry Is also prosperous, and there are twenty-four spinning mills, in which 21 ,000 hands are employed, and which have nearly 200, 900 spindles. Silk manufactures have been greatly developed and improved of late years. The province of Moscow counts about 150 silk factories, with nearly Il, ,000 hands, There are about 6O0 dyeing estab- lishmsnts, employing some 30,000 hands.

The Oraxe for Yellow.

lClara Bellos Letter to Philadelphia Press.
 Society has the yellow fever. Not the scourge, but an unsuitable taste for the color. The fancy has been raging ter some time, and still the cry is more. Palms are dis played in windows, corners and hallways, and in nothing but yellow iardiniere is the beauty of the color and foliage so effectively brought out. No cabinet is considered re- neved without bit of yellow porcelain, and 8 drop lamp or pedestal burner of orange china with trimmings of blackened iron, is the very acme of artistic taste. Then there is the Kings blue candlestick, with the can- dle of gilded yellow wax, the graceful form after the Greek in mandarin ware, and how can you imagine a bunch of mignenette more poetic than displayed in a smooth bowl of underglazed yellowi These craze color ists, who arc law unto themselves, go so far as to worship the marigold, "that molten thing of beauty" which the florists were obliged to force and which brings as good re- turn as the queen of flowers, the rose. But think of putting yellow marigolds in yell low bowl and then say who dictates In chromatics

GENERAL GRANTS NECK.

 Long or short as occasion Demand
 ed.
 From the Indianapolis Journal,l
 One of President Harrison's most enthusi- astic and faithful admirers Is Senator Pad- dock, of Nebraska. Hs has known the President personally for many years, and, having wide experience in public life, is able to compare him with high degree of intelligence with other men who have occu- pied the first political position of the land.
 President Harrison reminds ~me very much of President Grant in one respect" said Senator Paddock to your correspondent a few days ago, land this respect Is his re- fusal to gush and make promises. It Is true that President Grant would promise an inti- mate friend that he would make an appoint ment, or would tell him that he could not give him position, but he always did this on the spur of action, at 8 time when is was too late for him to run any risk of breaking his word.
 s'I remember call made upon General Grant during his last term In the White House." continued Senator Paddock, "and with me was my colleague, when a fair ex- ample was given of the President's peculiar traits of character. We wanted very much to have one of our constituents appointed, and we persisted, with the greatest fervor, to urge the good qualities of our man. While we talked for half an hour or more about the fitness of the candidate presented, and the political advantages which would accrue from his appointment, General Grant sat far down into his chair and pulled his neck into his chest like turtle. He never said word, but drank In every syllable and read every expression on our faces. Finally we tried Co get from him some kind of an utterance which would show what he thought l of our case: but the greatest possible effort was of no avail. We concluded that it would be best to change our tactics; so we began to talk about the siege of Vicksburg. My colleague knew all about that contest, | and had often met General Grant on the field ! when every mans life was carried in his l hand. Before half dozen sentences were l spoken about the fight before Vicksbure | General Grants neck began to grow. Il ! just craw1ed right out of his chest like the neck of a giraffe. His eyes frightened, and | in less than thirty seconds his tongue wal wagging at both ends. He grew eloquent \ and never was more charmed In my life l with war narratives. Our conversation rar l along in this vein for about half hour | when finally my colleague and I concluded that we would come back to the object of oul
 visit and see If we could not, with the oocklt ! burs of the President warm, get some kind of a promise about tho appointment we ] sought. General Grant anticipated us, ano
 before our words told him that we were go ing to resume our conversation about poll tics, he was sitting low down on the small oi his back again, and his neck was dropped
