COMMISSIONER TANNERS RESlG-
NATION.

The resignation CT Commissioner
of Pensions Tanner creates no sur
prise on the part of the public, for
it has been generally understood for
several weeks that his official rela-
tions to the head OF the Interior De-
partment, Secretary Noble, were
anything but harmonious. The Sec
rotary had called the attention of
the President to the causes Of disa-
greement between himself and the
commissioner, and had indicated
very strongly that if Commissioner
Tanner was not displaced he should
tender his own resignation. The
appointment of Corporal Tanner to
the Pension Office was probably a
mistake at the outset. The Presi-
dent was actuated by the best of in
tentions, and wished to place at the
head of the bureau, in which the
veteran soldiers had so deep an in
terest, a representative veteran. No
such veteran was so strongly recon-
mended as was Corporal Tanner,
though such of his friends as know
him best must have had misgivings
concerning his executive capacity
and business ability. No question
has been raised as to his thorough
going honesty, or sincerity, or integ-
rity as an official or a man; but it
has been evident even to his warm
est friends since his appointment,
that he has failed to grasp the re-
quirements of his Office, that by rea'
son of his intense sympathy for the
soldier he has frequently been i'm
posed upon by claimants and claim
agents, accepting all representations
made to him as true and legitimate.
The result has been that the business
of the pension Office has been loosely
conducted, while the commissioner
has most indiscreetly suffered him
self to resent every criticism which
has been made concerning the con.
duct Of his office, either by the Sec,
rotary of the Interior or by the press
and the public. This led to certain
indiscreet utterances, which became
very embarrassing and annoying to
the administration. His resignation
solves problem which was becom-
ing more and more intricate, and
relieves the administration of serious
embarrassment. His appointment
made with the best of intentions
was, however, a mistake, but the
present administration differs from
its predecessor in that it acknow
lodges and rectifies its mistakes
when once convinced that they have
been made.

principles Of those arts along with
other daily studies. This is the
value of industrial training combIn
ed with intellectual work. Then
the youth who go out at fourteen to
engage i'll more common kind Of
work should receive as general an
education as possible before they
leave the school. Practically, their
education ends with their fourteenth
year, or earlier. Supt. Seayer pro
poses that the mechanic arts school
shall furnish intellectual training
and manual education for three OF
four years, side 10y side with the
English high school, in order that
the state may be as fair to this class
of youth as those who are preparing
for college, and the public is likely
to indorse his plan for the better
education Of the youth who are to
live by trades. The experience Of
those who have had charge of this
mixed system of education is very
gratifying. President Smart Of
Pardue University, Indiana, reports
that 80 per cent. of the youth who
receive this sort of instruction be
come successful mechanics, and the
success of these schools wherever
they have been introduced into the
public system of education is cores
pondingIy great. THIS indicates
that the present development of
manual training in the public schools
is on the right lines. What may be
said for the support Of the State
Agricultural College follows the
same course of argument. If our
rural districts are ever again to yield
fair returns to industry, it must be
through the cultivation of the soil
by educated agriculturists. The
close competition in agriculture, in
the mechanics arts, and even IN
general industry, demands that our
youth shall enjoy every facility for
entering fairly upon their industrial
work. Supt. Seaver has gone as fal
as any one in the recognition of
what should be done. SO many
conditions bcset this work that to
proceed wisely is to advance slowly
and in a direction where manv-sided
experiments are the best guide, the
more slowly the advance is made
the surer it is to be sustained by
public opinion. What the Amcri-
can parent desires is that the public
school shall not only not hinder his
boy from success, but that it shall
give him all the assistance which il
reasonably can be allowed to give
The bearing of this broader method
of education upon social and indus
trial life is also an important factor
in the settlement Of our labor qucs
tions. The school is far more init
mately connected with oursocial lif,
than we have been willing to be.

its work intelligently to the neces
stiles of that life it is sure to receiv,
the Endorsement of the public. The
best thing that can be said of Amer
, lean education today is that it il
more and more doing practica
work for the American boy.

A Put Up Job.
From the New York Sun.

'You can't play that xylop hone lit
lie bit," cried well-dressed young wo-
man in the audience at Worth's Muse
UNI yesterday afternoon, at the conclu-
sion of solo by one of the members of
the company on the stage.
"I've played all over the world, and
before the crowned heads of Europe"
said the performer, abashed.
''Well, go back TO Europe and stay
there; you're no good here"
"Put that woman out" ordered an at
tendant. The policeman on guard
started to do SO, but the lady quoted
down, and was permitted to remain.
The musical man next began a solo on
the trombone. This called forth more
uncomplimentary criticisms on the part
of the unknown woman.
You're the very worst | ever saw !!
What excuse have you for living, any
how?"
perhaps you can do BETTER" sug-
gested the now maddened soloist.
''If / couldn't ID never show my face
from behind the footlights," and as she
spoke the woman, who was apparently
intoxicated, attempted to climb upon
the stage. Women in the audience be-
came uneasy, and several started to go
out. The woman kept on, however,
and gained the stage. The first thing
she ran against was slack wire. elf l
can't play that brass horn l can walk on
this wire," she asserted, as she pro-
ceeded to climb on the wire. She fell
off. of course. She tried it again and
got both feet on, but dropped some
thing.
1t looked like the picture of "some-
thing printed in the Evening Sun re-
Gently, in connection with reported
presentation to Mrs. President Harri-
son. The ladies in the audience giggled,
but the Young woman paid no attention
to it. She stuck fast to that wire for a.
few seconds and then fell off again.
Then she tried it third time and lost
several of her skirts. The ladies in the
orchestra chairs turned their heads and
hoped a policeman would arrest her
They looked up again, and in a flash all
the young woman's clothing fell off, and
she stood revealed in a suit of pink
tights.
Then the audience ''tumbled" to the
clever "iake," and highly enjoyed her
'skillful feats of balancing on that slack
wire. The artistic was Mile. Francilla.

The Lawyers Fatted Calf.
From q Waterloo (1a.) Special.


There appears to be prospect for a
final settlement of the celebrated Jones
Company calf case. One of the attor-
neys for the plaintiff states that Judge
Lenehan. before whom the last trial of
the case was had, WAS expected to be
here during the term of court which be-
gins this week, and motion by defend
ants will be argued before him asking
that judgment be rendered against
plaintiff of the special findings of the
jury at the last trial. IF this motion is
overruled, as the prosecution expect,
it is believed that there will
be no further litigation. and that the
last verdict of 81 900 and costs against
the defendants will be accepted by both
parties. This case has been in the
courts since 1877, and has been tried six
times. The action was for malicious
prosecution, and at each trial, with one
exception, the plaintiff secured YER
dict ranging from 81 ,OOO to $500. The
last trial was held in this county in Sep
tember lasl, and verdict of ST GOO was
rendered for plaintiff. The value of the
calves, out of which the suit or ew, wa
$45. The court costs thus far are abou

Get Some Tools.
From the Age of Steel.


A workman without tools is virtually
CIPHER. Like a CIPHER he must de-
pend upon his neighbor for value, for
standing alone, he is worthless. Me-
chanics do not need as many tools now
as they did in the years of all hand
work. Machinery has changed all that.
but machinery will never allow me-
chanic to dispense with his monkey
wrench, hammer and box full Of small
tools. A mechanic needs no better re-
commentator than a good chest of
tools, we'll worn and in shape. They
tell more plainly than any written
character" what the man is. He may
tell you one thing, and yet be another,
but look into his tool chest gives him
away. A man who has worked long
enough at certain work to be able to cali
himself skilled therein, should have &C.
CURED all the tools necessary, and man
who claims many years experience, yet
can show but few or inferior tools,
should be looked at closely, before his
statements are received. Many Young
man is working at the carpenters, ma
chinist's or millWright's trade, who has
not acquired a fair set of tools. The
best way for such men is for them to buy
one tool every week, or more if their
wages will permit. Another way is to
lay aside so much money from each
weeks wages, for books, papers and
tools. Divide equally between books
and tools, make a list of what is needed
then purchase the first on the list, as
soon as the allotted cash amounts to the
requisite sum. But a very few years of
this practice will be necessary before the
young man has good kit of tools and a
nice little library. Another thing, too,
he will have. He will have habit Of
saving money, and the habit will outlast
his tools.
