How To-day WA Celebrated In the Public
Schools Of the City Yesterday.
There is no subject that is attracting
the attention Of the educational bodies
in this country co much as patriotism.
This is as it should be for there has
been too much iealty to party shown,
and not enough regard for tho welfare
Of the country. From the Electoral
Commission down 10 committee of The
Town Council there Is usually nothing
but party vote had. This is all wrong
for where there are two sides to cues.
ton the division should not always be
on party lines. 80
The spirit OF patriotism, judging from
many signs, appears to be undergoing a
revival in Wheeling, and especially is
the influence Of itas taught in the public
schools noticeable. Yesterday in all the
public schools Of the city there were OK.

Washington's Birthday. The exercises
were attended by large number OF pa-

Catarrhal Deafness Hay Ferer-A New
.H Homo Treatment.
Sufferers are not generally aware that
these diseases arc contagious, or that
they are due to the presence Of living
parasites in the lining membrane Of the
nose and eustachian tubes. Nlicroscopic
research, however, has proved this to be
a fact, and the result Of the discovery is
that simple remedy has been formu-
lated whereby catarrh, catarrhal deafness
and hay fever are permanently cured in
from one to three simple applications
made at home by the patient once in two
weeks. "a -
N. B.-This treatment is not snuff
or an ointment; both. have been dis
carded by reputable physicians as inju-
rious. A pamphlet explaining this new
treatment is cent free on receipt ofstamp

YEiiMONT PKInE.

Vermont may linger in the rear. 1t
, is strange thing that while elsewhere,
all over the nation, Vermonters are in
the van of progress, they have the
appearance at home of being partially, if
not wholly, fossilized in all matters of
enterprise and improvement. Is it that
we drive away our live men and retain
only those of semi-vitality2 If there
were to-day in "old Vermont (why
so old, when she was the bantling of
the Revolution?) one thousand of those
men who, born among the green hills,
are to-day leading in every good work
in other States, we could before the next
Legislature adjourns revolutiontze our
educational system and put fire into
the veins of Our chief industry that
would soon make Vermont center of
the new education for an industrial
people. Why do men like Stephen A.
Douglas go away, tiinging back the
contemptuous remark that Vermont
is a good State to emigrate from?' Isn't
there good deal of food for thought
here?
The truth probably is that there are
two distinct classes among us, the
hold-ons and the go-aheads; and that
the first, by the mere strength of their
inertia, drive the second away, or
smother the germs of progress as they
appear. Vermont is free from debt and
in first-class condition to begin career
of educational improvement and progress
for the benefit of her leading industry
1t would enrich the State as no other
thing could to make her the model in
this respect among American States
But the cold fog of doubt and delay and
indifference is hanging about us and
probably some Vermonter led State of
the middle West will start the reform
in popular education, and about the
year 2O00, old Vermont will begin TO
think of adopting it.-Dr. HOSkinS.

SENATOR HOAR ENLIGHTESS A
PITTSBURG EDITOR.

A few days ago the Pittsburg Post, in
imitation of number of other newspa-
pers, published pretended report of
speech which it claimed that Mr.. Hoar
made in recent Republican caucus, en-
phasizing his great desire for the passage
of the Election bill. The report was
false, but Mr.. HOar has not chosen to
this time to take any notice of it. The
article in the Pittsburg Post proceeded
to say among other things that Mr.. Hoar
has never rendered any public service;
that he iis rich from inherited wealth,
and has drawn large sums of money
from the Treasury of the United States;
is an inveterate Office holder, without
having known what it is to do days
work. Mr. Hoar, in view of the extra
ordinary character of this article, has
felt it expedient to reply to it. He ac-
cordingly has sent to the editors of the
Pittsburg Post for publication letter of
which the following is a copy:
UNITED STATES SENATE,
WASHINGTON, ID. c., Aug. 10, 1890.
To the Editor Of the Pittsburgh Post:
My Dear Sir-Somebody has sent mc
copy of your paper containing an article
of which you do me the honor to make
me the subject. Who can have put such an
extravagant yarn into the head of so anna
BILE and goOd-natured fellow never
said the thing which you attribute to
me in any interview, or caucus, or any
where else. never inherited any
wealth or had any. My father was a
lawyer in very large practice for his day,
but he was a very generous and liberal
man and never put much value upon
money. My share of his estate was
about S10,50O. All the income produc-
ing property have in the world, or ever
had, Yields a little less than Sl,S0O a
year; $500 of that is from life estate
and the other thousand comes from
stock in corporation which has only
paid dividends for the past two or three
wears, and which am very much afraid
will pay no dividends, or much smaller
ones. after two or three years to come.
With that exception the house where
| live. with its contents, with about four
acres of land, constitute my whole
worldly possessions, except two or three
vacant lots which would not bring me

now for enough to pay my debts. l have
been in my day an extravagant collector
of books, and have a library which you
would like to see and which would like
to show YOU. Now, as to Otiice-holding
