salary of a senator. We see nothing in
the incident or the reason assigned to

TO hold the job for the pay there is in it,
it was certainly his privilege to exercise
the inalienable. though rarely exercised
right to resign. The people in this par

The fatalities incident to the recent
inaugural occasion at Washington have
been greater in number than any pre-
vious one. 1t is almost worth person ;
life TO attend and participate in that
event. 1t is very clear that one of two
things will have to be done in answer to
the popular demand. l. e. either change
the time so as to avoid the wretched
weather that almost invariably prevails
at that period, else remove the capital TO
some point not subject To such vista
tons. The latter proposition has the
larger number of supporters, in view of
the western trend of population. At Its
present location it will be but a few
years until half the people. the
citizens, of the United States will have
to travel half across the continent TO
reach the capital, and large number
entirely across. practically, and they are
already weary of the requirement.

TECHNICAL EDUCATION IN MEXICO
From the Mexican Financier.

From the Mexican Financier.
A growing interest in the subject of
technical education is observable in the In
terror press, and it is a most gratifying
sign of the times that the editors OF lead
ing journals in the larger towns of the
republic should be so cordially disposed
in this direction. We find it generally
agreed that the present system of in
struction fails to teach the youth of the
country, particularly the boys, that
which Will be most essential TO them
when they go out into the world to earn
their living; in other words it is per-
ceived that something more than book
Tearing is needed if Mexican boys are to
be prepared for competition with foreign
artisans whose productions are
everywhere to be met with. Hundreds
of articles are imported that,
were the lads of the country early train
ed to the arts, might well be made here.
1t is, therefore, patriotic duty to intro
duce manual labor schools and begin tit
ting the boys of the country for useful
careers. In Sweden the manual labor
schools mainly confine instruction to
wood working, while in England and the
United States metal working forms an
important part of manual school instruc-
ton. We hope, some day, to see manual
labor schools established in every town
and city of 10000 inhabitants, while at
the capital of every state there should
be chronological school of grade cor
responding to the Stevens institute of
New York and other similar schools In
the United States, England and France.
Only in this way can the youth of this
country be placed on an equality in pro-
ductive power with foreign artisans.

JUNKETING RAILROAD ASSESSORS
TO THE ATCHINSON CHAMPION.


Some of the carping and thoughtless
papers of Kansas are already beginning
to inulge in the stereotyped talk about
the ''junketing tour" of the State Board
of railroad assessors. The fact is that no
duty devolved upon these officers by law
is more laborous, irksome and unpleas-
ant than is this annual inspection of the
railways of Kansas. A trip by rail. last
ing a day or two, when the traveller has
a seat in a comfortable car is pleasure;
but when one has put in three weeks or
more, whirling over the nine thousand
miles of railway in Kansas, the Journey
ing becomes extremely tiresome and
unpleasant We know that the state
officers who are compelled, by law, to
take this trip, look forward to it
with dread, and that it is not, to
any of them, the pleasure or ''junket-
ing trip" SO many imagine it Is. The
writer once provoked good tempered
State Auditor Mccarthy to wrath by a
little pleasantly concerning this business.
The board has, on several occasions, had
narrow escapes for serious accidents, and
year ago three of its members We're
painfully injured by the overturning of a
car near Horton. a few days later
Auditor Mccarthy put in an appearance
at the capitol with his arm in sling and
his face and head covered with patches
of court plaster, and we greeted him by
remarking: well. Tim. how did you
enjoy your junketing trip" Then there
was an explosion of wrath The state
auditor rose to remark that the ''junket-
ing business was about equal to calling
the campaign through the wilderness
dress parade, or words to that effect.

THE BEHR1NG SEA QUESTION.
Ford's Irish World

/
| The presidents proclamation forbid
| ding the taking of fur seals s'in the do
minion of the United States on the
waters of Behring Sea- is causing great
uneasiness amongst the loyalists of Can
ada. The Montreal Witness refers to
Mr.. Cleveland's action in releasing the
seized Canadian sealing schooners, and
to Mr.. Bayard's express declaration on
the subject, as acknowledgements, that
the dominion Of the United States only
extends to distance of three miles from
headiand to headland. 1t adds that sit
is now the duty of the British govern
ment to discover what the present ad-
ministration considers to be the extent
of its dominion in Behring Sea. and to
maintain the palpable fact that Behring
Sea is no more closed sea than the
North Atlantic is"
1t would be easyenough for the Brit
ish government to find out, if it does
not know already, what the pres
ent administration holds to be
the limits of the dominion of the United
States in Behring Sea. 1t extends to
the boundary line agreed on in 1867 with
Russia, which still retains control of the
western portion. The boundary line is
laid down on maps easily procurable in
any part of the Civilized world and the
search for this information requires
hardly any expenditure of time or
money. But the Witness goes too far
when it demands that the British gov
eminent shall maintain that ''Behring
Sea is no more closed sea that the At
lantic." This administration will never
allow such contention nor permit the
doing of anything which might involve
in the renotest degree its recognition.
The presidents proclamation will be en-
forced with vigor. if necessary, should
any attempt be made to set it at defiance,
and England will not venture to main-
tain effectively any claims that may
conflict with it

perverseness of the editor of the EAGLE,
declaring that his course restrained hun
dreds of women from voting. Softly,
dear Priscilla. You protest too much.
| The average woman suffragist can NO
more be restrained against her will than
the flow of the Niagara. They amt
built that way. Ask them, or if you do
not want to take their word, ask their
husbands. Ask yourself, Priscilla. Did
the EAGLES scathing editorials intim-
idate you? If it did, and you lost your
vote thereby, we are glad for you, as
that simple fact demonstrates that you
are possessed of womanly nature, and
entirely unsuited to get out and rustic
with those awful females who want to
be street commissioners, policemen,
school directors and the like. Oh, Pris-
ella, dear Priscilla, we would not in
timidate, but rather we would beSeech
you, on our Bonded knees, if you have
no love or respect for your husband, that
you do not forget your father: and if
you never had father, then that you re-
member your own womanhood, and
shun the influence of those wiley women
who get together and resolve that the
editor of the EAGLE is no better than he
might be, and that Mother Eve is emit
tied to the cake for getting Adam into
the soup.
