posite state OF facts, the percentage of fail
ures among the public school graduates be-
ing 80 5-l0ths, and among the college gradu-
ates Sc 2-10th. In the department service at
Washington the greatest proportion of fail
ures is almost uniformly among the college

on these figures as follows; Those who
have had but a few months or few years
schooling at a country district school, as
we'll as those who have been through all the
grades of the best city schools, are alike
classed as having received a common school
education. The large percentage Of failures
among competitors OF this class does not
therefore prove anything of value cfncern-
ing the quality of what may be called full
common school education, nor concerning
the character or difficulty of the exanina-
tions of this commission. What is shown is
that very large percentage of all those
claiming to have received only common
school education are able to pass the exami.

the truth or falsity Of the charges brought
against Col. j. j. Lynch of the First Regi-

to show lack of promptness in the

The training of the militia is, or ought to be,
serious business; and the officers are under

An interesting touch of the character of
the Portlanders of long ago is revealed by
the publication of portions of the diary of
Benjamin Lundy, the earliest Anti-Slavery
journalist and lecturer, who visited New
England on a lecturing tour in 1872. Lundy,
was New Jersey Quaker, then living in
Baltimore. He went from 70 to Newport
In June, 1928, passing through New Haven,
Hartford, Brooklyn, Ct, and Norwich; and
from Newport to Portland by way of Nan
tucket. Throughout his journey he made in
his diary shrewd observations of the people
Of New England and their ways, dwelling
especially, OF course, upon their dispositions
towards the cause which he advocated. AT
Norwich he notes that 'the people here are
all too polite, and will do nothing for our
cause" AT Newport. where he attended the
yearly meeting of Quakers. "sectarianism
nearly closed up my way. being but a
moderate Quaker" but in New Bedford he
had large meeting and found liberal peo-
pie in this town." OF Portland he records
that 'the people seem to be cool caIculators."
Those who know the warmth with which the
people of Portland afterwards sustained the
cause Of freedom, may find, by comparing it
with the remark Of the shrewd old Quaker
agitator, abundant food for reflection upon
the nature of the public conscience; and
may draw from it the conclusion that it often
seems dead when it is only sleeping. Even
In Boston, the home Of Anti-Slavery agita-
ton, Lundy found himself embarrassed by
theie being too many other meetings, as
negroes are, everywhere and always, the last
to be thought of or noticed" In spite of
the encouragement of his tour in New Eng
land, Lundy had faith to predict about this
time, or at least before 1888, that universal
emancipation would surely come. 1t came
sooner than he expected, probably, for on
that very year that Lundy visited New Eng
land there was toiling In his own city of

Gov. Lowry of Mississippi is furnishing
strong evidence that he was thoroughly in
earnest in his efforts to prevent the Sullivan
Kilrain fight, and that they miscarred only
through the cowardice and inefficiency of
one of the county sherffs. On his requisi-
tion the great bruiser was arrested at Nash
vile yesterday, and after show Of resistance
was thrust into the city Jail. OF course
all sorts of technical points will be raked up
to prevent his surrender by the Governor of
Tennessee, for Sullivan and his hackers have
plenty of money to hire skillful lawyers.
But decent people will hope that he may get
into the clutches of the Mississippi courts,
and that they may mete out to him long
term of imprisonment. A good dose of pun
ishment of that sort will do more to prevent
prize fights in the future than anything else

The constitution makers Of North Dakata
are thinking of abandoning the two house
idea and creating legislature of but one
branch with single body of representatives

that among other advantages the influence

plan. The people of North Dakota might
try the plan, but they will probab ly come to
the conclusion, after they have made their
