PRoF. A. f. FLEET, who so long and
successfully filled the position of prin-
cipal of the Baptist Female College. of
this city, is about to start a male school

three such academies as the Wentworth,
kemper and Mexico. Missouri will be

was evidenced by the fact that the
Wentworth could not take all The
pupils who were offered for the current
semester, that the Kemper school Is
full, and that forty or fifty pupils who
failed to pass at Columbia for the col
legiate course could have been tarned
in to Prot. Fleets school to better adj
vantage than being sent back to the
common and high schools from which
they came. Prof. Fleet, who has filed
the chair of Greek at the University for
some years, is an elegant gentleman,
edaVe and pleasant in manners, and a
fhorengh classical scholar, especially
well equipped as a linguist. But he is
more than these, possessing the rare
combination of scholarship with good
business ideas and executive ability.
| This has been proven by his success as
president of q school, and by the fact
that he has managed in a few years, by
tact and good judgment, to lay up a
handsome competency. Prof. Fleet is
a born teacher, and wherever his ex-
cellent wife, and Mrs. Seldom, her
mother, are, there we may expect TO
find culture, refinement and Christian
influences. We most sincerely wish
for the Mexico male school that degree
of success and usefulness to which our
own Wentworth academy has attained,
which lie desiring for it all that could
be asked.

a PART of the st. Louis merchants
fighting the grain inspection law.
Their assumption that they know more
about grain than can be learned by
other people is, to be mild about it,
sheer stuff and nonsense, and the talk
some OF the members are lndulging in
is fast confirming the people of the
state in the belief that there is u very
large sized nigger in the wood pile.
When men of very ordinary caliber
pile up big fortunes in elevators in a
few years-fortunes TINT no one pre-
tends came out OF tolls-ihe inference
Is Irresistible that grain which was
inspected in at II grade was turned
out at another and a higher grade,
thus enabling the handler not only TO
make legitimate commissions, but to
steal three or four cents OIL every
bushel, which would have gone to the
producer If the grain bad been properly
inspected in and out. If this is not
true; il this has not been done, what
is all the kicking about? No one is
going TO believe that it is simply a
matter of whether John Smith or Tom
Jones does the inspecting. There is
too much smoke, gentlemen; there
must be fire somewhere. The best
thing the lew gentlemen on change
who have been making so much noise
can do is to take their medicine like
little men. They have got to swallow
it. They have neither influence
o money enough to get that law off
the statute books, and a course of m
tagonism will only tend to make the
law more and more severe. Certain
city newspapers, too, which pose as the
champions of the people would do well
to investigate this matter sufficiently TO
ascertain that there are more phases of
it than they seem up to this time to
have discovered.

When a voter who cannot read goes TO

THE withdrawal of the St. Louis
bakers from the cracker trust, as
evidenced by their final filing of an
affidavit OF disconnection with all
pools, trusts or combinations, seems 10
have precipitated a war Of prices from
Quincy, Ills, where the cracker
factories have been cutting rates. An
additional reason tor the war lies in
the refusal of Reidinger & Oerlle Ia
remain in the trust. No combination
has been more successful in maintaining
high prices when the cost of the
product justified low ones than has the
cracker trust. AS the firms in this
state have shown q c~ommendable desire
to do business according TO law, it is
to be hoped that hereafter a healthy
competition will prevail In the cracker
business, which should be able to thrive
without the undue and unfair advan-
OF a trust Or combination.

While there appears to be some divergence
of views as to the propriety of removing car
rage blocks from the sidewalks, it is quite
safe to say that no difference Of opinion can be
entertained in regard to the wisdom of requir-
ing the tops of projecting water and gas pipe
boxes throughout the city to conform to the level
OF the pavement. In every part of the city,
and ofts1 several times in a single square or
block, these unsightly and dangerous projec-
hons may be found, and il is no uncommon
sight TO see young, as well as old persons. stum-
bling over them. Indeed, it has happened
more than once that painful and serious in
juries have been sustained from this cause.
Now that Captain Symons has carried his point
in regard to the carriage blocks, let him turn
his attention to the projecting boxes referred
to. We will guarantee that in his raid on that
nuisance he will meet with no opposition from
the public, and we feel sure that his official
superiors will second any efforts he may make
in that direction.
Another thing to which the district authori-
ties may properly and advantageously give
their attention, is the cutting away of the lower
branches of most if not all of the shade trees
along the sidewalks of the city. As rule
they hang too loy for either beauty or utility.
quently destroy or dwarf the otherwise beauti-
full turf in the reservations and front yards,
and at the same time it prevents free ventila-
ton and circulation of air, thus creating damp
ness in houses, and often promoting disease.
This even in dry weather. When it rains the
under branches hang so low, from the weight
of water, as to become positive nuisance to
pedestrians. If those responsible in the
premises would walk out occasionally during
or just after hard shower or a protracted
rain, as many people are obliged to do, they
would certainly realize the force Of this OBJ
lection.
The new District Commissioners can make
quite popular hit in starting ON their official
career by directing the proper steps to be taken
to bring about a reform on these two points,
small matters though they may appear to be-
and the subject is respectfully submitted to
their consideration.

General Bouianger can hardly plume himself
upon a great social success achieved in London.
Baroness Burdett-Coutts tried to give him
send-off the other evening by inviting dozen
prominent persons to meet him at dinner.
The snrb, they visited on him were varied in
character. Lord Cross refused to sit at the
same table with him, and some others followed
suit. The dowager Duchess of Cleveland was
indignant at learning that she was expected to
go out under the generals escort, and left the
house. 1t is not wonderful that the hero of
the cafes should be scrutinized somewhat Sc
verely in city like London, where personal
decency counts for something unless man has
lofty title and lineage to counterbalance his
delinquencies. General Boulanger probably
keeps the same sort Of company in the British
capital that he did IN the American.

spreading that the British vessel is at liberty

four yachts are outsailed and the cup goes to
