THURSDAY, MAY %, 1889.

THE school board election this spring
as we'll as the defeat of the proposition
to change the board from three to SIX
members. was the voice of the people
| that they were satisfied with the schools
and desired no change i'll the teaching
| fOrce.-GGzette.
1t was understood at the time of the
April election that Mr. shannon, who was
a candidate for reelection, was in favor
of change in the office of Superintend-
ent. The fact that the Board of Educa-
tion is now acting in harmony confirms
that impression. There was no Opposi-
| ton to Mr.. Shannon on election day sim
ply because men had become so disgust
ed with the treatment of a question that
ought to have appealed to the good sense
of every one, at special election a few
davs before, that they took no interest
in the choice of member. Only about
one-third of the vote was polled; and if
that small "voice" represents anything
else than disgust with the methods that
prevail here we are wholly unable to see
it.
The proposed enlargement of the Board
of Education had nothing whatever to do
with the teachers. Selfish persons indus
triously circulated stories that the move
ment was hostile to this teacher or that
teacher, and as a result the closest friends
of the teachers, without exception, op-
posed the movement. Nevertheless, the
question of the employment of teachers
did not enter into the matter until forced
into it by over Jealous friends of teach
ers. and was not contemplated by those
who originated the movement. Certain
it is that Superintendent Walters would
be stronger in the Board to-day if it had
been enlarged, as it should have been.
The GGzette's sneering remark that
Messrs. Rees, Shannon, and Milligan
"have been somewhat engaged in the
petition business of late" is meant for
a drive at those gentlemen because of
their activity in procuring and present
ing remonStrances against the repeal of
the anti-saloon ordinance. But, the
cases are not analogous. Mr.. GGzette.-
The gentlemen named and the people
generally are as good judges of the eff
fects of the anti-SaloOn ordinance as are
members of Council; but surely it will
not be claimed that signers of petitions
promiscuOusly obtained are as compe
tent judges of the efficiency of teachers
as is the Board of Education.
The proposed removal of Superintend-
ent Waters from town is the subject of
general regret, and we cordially share in
it. He is devoted teacher and a good
citizen, whom we shall regret to lose -
The matter should be treated with entire
candor on all hands, and with no other
object in view than the best interests of
the schools.
If the Board of Education had been
enlarged, as was proposed, the schools
would have been brought nearer to the
people, and this action, if necessary,
have been better received.

GRANTS THOUGHTFULNESS

New York Mail and Express.
1t is noted fact illustrating the
thoughtfulness of Gen. Grant in his last
days of suffering that he left in his
dressing gown pocket three papers. One
of these stated that he wished to be buried
where his wife could be buried with
him at her death; the second requested
that $1,000, if the sale of his book made
it possible, should be given to DR.. Doug
lass. and the third directed that copies
of his memoirs" should be given to the
following persons, whom he regarded as
his special friends: Gen. Sherman, Gen.
Sheridan, Gen. Logan. George W. Childs,
Anthony j. Drexel, Roscoe COnkling,
Thomas B. Musgrave, George Jones,
Senior Romero, Gen. Diaz and five 9th
ers. These persons received, with the
first volume of the Memoirs" the Gen
erals card, bearing this inscription:
''Sent by the direction of Gen. L. ).
Grant and with the compliments of his
family" Mrs. Grant, after the Gener-
ais death, enlarged the list to include
other friends of the General.

DURATION OF NATURAL GAS.

st. Louis GlObe-DemOcrat.
Prof. Orton, Ohio State GeOlogist, has
for years urged on the people the need
of using natural gas economically. But,
on the contrary, it has been wasted so
that not over One-twelfth has been util-
lied, and the rest allowed to escape
The american Manufacturer shows that
over one-fourth of all the gas consumed
in Pittsburgh factories is also wasted,
either through defective apparatus or
the careIesSness of operatives. This
showing would not be so bad if the sup
ply were inexhaustible; but already the
pressure is greatly diminished in the
wells, and not few are entirely ex-
hausted Prof Orton believes the sup
ply will be but of short duration.

THE announcement on Thursday that
ALLEN THoRNDYE RICE was dead was a
surprise and shock. 1t was startlingly
sudden. The only preparation that the
public mind had for the sad event was
the statement in the morning papers that
Mr.. Rice was unable to sail on the steam
er on which he had engaged passage on
account of tOnSilitiS.
Mr. Rice was a brilliant and accom-
plished man, and his untimely death is
a loss to American literature and good
politics.

WITHIN two months the Republicans
of Ohio will enter upon political cam
paign of tremendous importance. Bel
mont County will be an important factor
in the struggle, and it is important that
the Republicans of the county shall be
in position to make an aggressive and
vigorous fight. THE CHRONICLE will be
found useful helper in the good Cause.
We hope to largely extend its circula-
tion, and to that end offer it in clubs of
ten and upward from the 4th of July
until the 9TH of November for 25 cents
This low rate ought to add one thous-
and, or more, to its circulation, and it is
safe to say five thousand more persons
would weekly have the opportunity to
read Republican paper. Brethren is
there anything else you can do likely to
produce such good results? One thous-
and, or more, campaign subscribers can
easily be procured if Republicans at each
post-ofiice in the county will appreciate
the mighty help this increased constitu-
ency will afford in the campaign.
The cash must in all cases accompany
the order.

DOVER, Del, Dec. 10.-Dover was out
in force last night TO welcome back Bob
Allen. There Is no Disgusting the fact
that the people Of this section sleep
sounder when they know that Robert Is
safe behind the bars
The EVENING JOURNAL representation
interviewed Sheriff Fennimore last
night he stated that Bob came back
willingly aud gave no trouble on the
way. In giving an account OF his cap
ture Bob said that he had worked on
Thursday at place near Elkton, re-.
ceived his pay and then got drunk on the
money.
II was while under the influence of
liquor that he met William Powell, who
used TO be his turnkey at the Jail here
Allen spoke to him, when Powell assured
him that he (Powell) would mot give
him away. but advised him not TO pro.
ceed toward Baltimore. as men were on
the watch for him in that direction. and
on that advice Allen proceeded back. On
the next train that passed Powell went
to Elkton and notified the authorities.

TO Elkton there was half of the

II seems now that Powell will not
get much Of the reward after all unless

TO him.
He says that he has not seen Dill since
they jumped the jail yard fence
together as Dill headed for the
southern part Of the town while he
(Allenl struck for the railroad.
Speaking of Aliens recapture it might
be well TO note that that Alderman Jester
is firn believer in the fact that Allen
cannot stay away from Dover. When
Allen was first arrested, some seven or
eight years ago, he was brought before
Alderman Jester and upon being searched
there was found ON him two charms
carefully wrapped up. One was ground
mole's foot and the other small horse
chestnut. Bob Is very superstition s
negro and he had received these charms
from hoo.doo doctor, and priced
them very highly. The Alderman
Kept them and has them yet, and al
though he himself is not superstitious,
he believe that Allen cannot stay away
