Examinations.


The pupils of the urinary department
who have just been examined, were ex-
pecting, it seems, t. enter the higher
room Immediately, AMI some parents may
have had the same impression, although
the pupils had not been told by either
teacher that they were to be promoted.
In the Pullman KERALD, of October
10Th, partial explanation Of the relation
between the two departments was given.
Let those who have that number of the
HERALD refer to it and see what was said
as to the standing Of pupils who may
properly be considered pupils of the
higher department. We will repeat in
substance part Of what was said there.
The pupil who is properly prepared
for the work which really belongs to the
higher room, must have completed his
text book in arithmetic to fractions; in
geography to South America; and in
language the work prepared for him in
Swintons language primer. When the
pupil has finished this work, he will in
arithmetic, have had thorough drill in
addition, subtractida, multiplication,
division, factoring. greatest common di-
visor and least common multiple.
We have previously stated that it has
been found NECESSARY to keep one class
in the higher room which properly be-
longs to the primary department.
So soon as the condition of the school
will permit this class should be kept
out of the higher room. All those pupils
who have been permitted to work in the
higher department but who have NOT
made the advancement above mentioned,
may at any time before said advance
ment has been attained, be required to
go back to the primary room to finish
the work which of right belongs to that
room. This going back to the primary
room should not he considered a dis
grace, or as an evidence that the primary
work has not been wsli done. IF, at any
time, a pupil has been taken into the
higher room before he Eas attained to the
required scholarship, i must be con-
sidered as temporars measure which
may be change at q. time.
The examination, til week, was chief

the G. G. D. or the L. c. NJ. as may be
seen from the examination papers. The
reason a third class has been (and now
is) kept in the higher room, will be ex-
planned to the satisfaction Of anyone who
may care enough about it to make the
proper inquiry. W. S. BULLA.

THE TARIFF on TIN PLATE

1t is well known that every pound
of tin plate used IN this country is i'm
ported. 1t is also equally well known
that the government compels the i'm
porter to pay one cent a pound duty on
it, tariff levied years ago for the pur-
pose of encouraging and fostsring the
manufacture OF tin plate in this country,
but entirely without result. The price
of every article of tlnware is increased by
the amount of the duty collected.
The Mckinley bill increases the duty
from one cent TO two and two-tenths
cents pound for the purpose
exist only on government bounty
or support of the most generous
kind, and which can and will be monop-
olized by few powerful and wealthy
corporations or syndicates able to COM
mand and hold the support of the gov
eminent indefinitely while they are given
absolute control of the home market
to plumber and rob at will. There il
not more Ubiquitous sbomina-
ton in that bill Of denominations than the
tin plate tariff. 1t legalizes sheer rob-
berry of the most wholesale character,
and boldly marks tine degree of shame
less and degrading subservisncy to capi-
talistic plunderers, to winch the grand
old party has descended.
Those oonversant with the true inward.
ness of the proposed increased tariff,
know very well that it is made at the
dictation of the iron kings of Pennsylva-
mia. They are to be the beneficiaries of
1t, they and no others.
Small wonder then is it that Plumb
raised his voice in condemnation of the
bold iniquity. There it is not Western
senator in congress that did not owe it to
his people as religious duty to stamp
life out of it; but one only, Davis OF
Minnesota voted with Plumb against II.

Senator Teller attempted to palIiate
the atrooity by saying that "evsnt-

THE COUNTRY'S TRADE.
E. 6. Dun & Co. Report There Is no CON-
plant from Any Section as to the
Volume of Trade the Past Week.

NEW YORK, Aug. 15.-R. G. Dun *
Co. s weekly review of trade says: In
dustries are doing rather less and specu-
Iators are doing more than a week ago.
The history IN brief is the general aver
age of prices of commodities is rapidly
rising, and has advanced more than !.
per cent. during the past week. Cotton
has fallen 3-l6c, but is still so high that
purchases are limited. Coffee has not
changed, and considerable demand for
cheaper grades is reported. A heavy de-
cline appears in the weekly output of
pIg;ron, which was 1874 ,79S tons August
l against IFS, 727 July l, and $50 ,79l
June /. The decrease Is attributed
mainly to the closing of furnaces for re-
pairs, but last years production was
increased 5000 tons from June l to Au-
gust l, and it is noticed that some South
ern works which were to have begun
operating two months ago are still wait
ing. Prices show little change, though
one large Southern concern is reported
to be cutting literally. The demand for
finished products is full and well sus-
tanned, and some forms OF plate iron are
little higher.
Wool manufacture shows no improve
ment, and many makers express grow
ing disgust at the scantiness of purchases
except for cheaper grades. Wool does
not advance and heavy imports of
goods continue. Coal is very dull,
and the output still falls
below last years. Dry goods jobbers
note that Southern and Western buyers
are more numerous in this market
than usual, but while cotton goods are
well sold up the command for woolens is
only fair. Reports from other cities are
generally favorable, no complaint being
anywhere made as to the volume
of current business. st. Louis notes a
fair volume of trade, though
less strength than last week.
At Omaha trade is good and
at Kansas City about the average.
Paper money is 6 to per cent at St.
Louis, and in fair demand. At about
usual rates elsewhere. About a million
has been sent West from this city during
the week. Reports of nero handise from
New York fall below last year by % per
cent, and for the half August, while i'm
ports continue very heavy and those con-
ditions with the advance IN speculative
markets are not entirely favorable.
Business failures occurring throughout
the country during the last seven days
number 1877, as compared with POS last
week; for the corresponding week last
year the figures were 2l3.

W. S. Yost is the name of a gentle
man from Wichita, Kan, who was in
Fort Worth yesterday on business of pub
lie interest He is the representative of
stone-sawing firm who are looking for To-
cation in live city where much building
is under way, and Fort Worth fills the
bill He has determined, if he can get
good location for his business, to move
here at once. Stones saving is process
by which building stone Is sawed and
prepared for the mason by means of
saws operated by steam, great saving
of time, labor and expense. There
is no demand for it except
in places like Fort Worth where there is
an abundance of stone buildings under
construction. 1t must be carried on in
premises adjacent to the railways and to
the place of building. Mr.. YOst con-

Yesterday afternoon when it became
generally known that cars were running
regularly to Arlington Heights and re-
turn many citizens, ladies as well as gen

make the trip. During the early part of
the day only one car was run, but in the
afternoon so many passengers were
taken on a trailer had to be added, and
it was loaded down on every trip.
The cars run with astonishing smooth
ness and freedom from jar. At the
heights the vast Improvements under
way evoked expressions of amazement
from those who had not seen them
before.
The cars on the Arlington Heights
street railway will run regularly every
twenty minutes, commencing SATURDAY.,

Special to the Gazette.
CLEBURNE, Tex. Aug. 15.-It was re-
ported on the streets at an early hour
that Mr.. NJ. G. Dillon had committed
suicide. Your reporter repaired to his
residence in West Cleburne and found
the report to be a fact. 1t seems that
MIR. Dillon has been complaining for the
past two or three weeks with heart trou-
BILE, and last night he was sick all night.
This morning as usual, about 5 O'Clock
he got up, as his family supposed to
make a fire in the cook stove. He
passed through the kitchen and out to the
closet in the back yard, where the
neighbors say they heard the report of a
pistol, but paid no particular attention.
About ten minutes after the pistol shot,
a painter working for and living with Mr..
Dillon, went into the back yard and saw
smoke coming from the closet. He sup
posed it was Mr.. Dillon 3 son and called
him, but received no answer. He called
again, still no answer. He went then to
investigate, and found Mr.. Dillon lying
on the floor with his shirt burning. He
went TO work TO extinguish the FIRE,

THE West having responded favorably
to Plumb's outbreak against the tariff
some two or three weeks since, that
gentleman feels encouraged TO follow
still further the bent of his inelinations,
and on Thursday hammered the tin plate
tariff, but without result. Plumb can
be depended on to carry his auti-tariff
crusade as far as safety to himself will
warrant, but not one inch farther. He
is on the right track now as respects the
popular sentiment-and that is what he
always keeps his weather eye on-and
has the sh-ewdness to see it. Plumb is a
good politician.
