THE Parnellites are beginning to
worry the conservatives in parlia-
ment. Sexton, Healy and Shaw
Leferre made it quite warm with their
interrcgations yesterday and the gov
eminent leader was not as glib with
his replies as formerly. Healy charged
that as late as last November Pigott
had informed the attorney general
that he could not stand an eXamina-
ton, and that in view of this fact that
officer had justly forfeited the con-
fidence of the people. In response to
question from the government leader,
Smith, as to what the meaning of his
charge was, Healy replied that he
gave due notice that in the opinion
of the commons, the attorney general
had forfeited confidence. The an
nouncement was received with laugh
ter and cheers. Leferre in the debate

AGENTS FOR THE LIGHT.
FRIDAY. MARCH. |, 1899.
WAITING FOR DUCKS.

The city charter, which is the only
instrument giving any safeguard to
the citizens, expressly provides that
the city council shall hold regular
meetings at stated times, at least once
in each month. This provision of the
charter has been violated and pre-
sumably it was done for purpose. A
new charter is before the people and
its passage will be pressed before the
legislature of the state. That new
charter cOnfers largely increased. and
III some instances most arbitrary
powers, upon the mayor, and is very
unsatisfactory to many of our citizens.
Is it the intention of his honor to pave
the way for the new charter by so viO-
lating the provisions of the old as to
make the abrOgatiOn thereof an easy
mater on account of such violations?
From past experiences it is not i'm
probable that even such a desperate
method might be resorted to. 1t
would be singular indeed and
browning exploit if his honor instead
of being impeaChed for violation of
charter in refusing to hold council
meetings should ride into additional
power on the back of his violations
through new charter giving him in
creased authority. The situation is
more peculiar than funny. Gentlemen
having important business pending
and waiting for council action, have
been compelled to cool their heels for
two months waiting for meeting of
the city legislature to pass upon GER
tain proportions, and grant
them certain powers neces-
sary for their undertakings.
This delay most seriously cripples
important movements which, il con-
summated, would greatly benefit the
city and give impetus to business by
adding materially to the laboring
forces of the summer. These enter
prises are at a standstill for want of
council action, and the delay will
very probably operate to prevent
anything being done at all as the en-
tire summer was needed in order to
enable the projectors of such enter
pises to get their work completed
before next winter. a whole years
delay will probably be the result.
This is one of many. The whole city
suffers, and there is no redress. One
man owns the whole plant. Auto.

IMPORTANT APPOINTMENTS.
A Public Printer and CiviI-Service Com
missiOners Chosen.

A Public Printer and CiviI-service Com
missioners Chosen.
WASHINGTON, May THE President
this evening appointed Frank w. Palmer
| of Illinois, to be public printer; Theodore
Roosevelt, of New York, and Hugh S.
Thompson, of South Carolina, to be civil.
service commissioners.
The appointment of Mr.. Thompson was
recommended by nearly every Democratic
Senator and several Republicans. Sec.
| rotary Window is said to have thrown
his influence in behalf of the ex Assistant
Secretary of Treasury. The appointment
OF Mr.. Roosevelt was in the nature of a
surprise, as his name has hardly been
meDt oned in connection with the civil
service commission.
Mr.. Roosevelt Is we'll known New
York Republican. and will be thirty-one
years old in October next. In 1881 he
was elected member of the New York
Legislature, and became active and
prominent in advocacy of reform meas
ures. He was reelected in 1888, and
was largely instrumental in carrying out
the civil service reform law. He also
advocated number of measures for
remedying political abuses, especially the
bill increasing the powers of the mayor
of New York city. He was chairman of
the New York delegation to the National
Republican Convention of 1884, and an
unsuccessful candidate for mayor of New
York city in 1886. He is the author of
several historical books and narratives of
hunting adventures.
The new public printer, Frank W.
Palmer, is newspaper editor. He is a
native of Indiana, born in 1927, and has
edited newspapers at jamestown, N. Y i,
and Dubuque, Iowa From 1861 to 1868
he was State printer of Iowa, and from
1869 to 1873 member OF Congress from
that State. From 1873 to 1876 he edited
the Chicago Inter Ocean and was post
master of Chicago from 1877 to 1855.

ARE THEY A FAILURE2
Do Agricultural Colleges Help Farmer

Do Agricultural Colleges Help Farmers
Sons or Injure Them?
WASHINGTON, May S.-W o. Atwater,
in charge OF the work at experiment sta
tions established by the Agricultural
Department, assisted by A. w. Harris
and A. G.. True, of his divirion. is pre-
pairing bulletin, which will be published
this year, giving history of the Depart.
ment, it's present organization and a
sketch of the progress of education in
agricultural colleges and schools. Under
this latter head the subject of agrlcul
tural instruction is discussed at length.
1t is acknowledged that the purpose for
which agricultural colleges were estab
lished in the several states, aid to which
the government contributed by liberal
grants of laud apd money, has not been
realized. The colleges do not educate
men for the farms, but for professions,
and the tendency Of their teachings has
been to draw young men from the farms.
instead of fitting for work on them. The
curriculum in most cases Is too extensive
for the average farmers son to under.
take, and in most cases, also, the ex
penses are too great for the average far
mer's son to meet. The conse quence is
that the class for whom the colleges were
assigned have received almost absolutely
no benefit from their existence.
