The Presidents Western Trip.


The Presidents western trip could not
have afforded him great deal of satisfac-
ton. Before he started 1t was minated
that the purpose of it was to find out
whether he had such hold upon TIE people
ss would justify him in hoping for a renomi-
nation. He was very kindly received at all
the places at which he stopped, and at some
Of them there was considsrab,e enthu.,asm,
but there were plenty Of indications chat the
demonstrations were not intended as ex-
pressions of admiration aud affection
for Benjamin Harrison, but as marks of re-
spect for the President. It is barely posi-
BILE that the President interpreted them as
meaning that his administration was ap-
proved, and that he had only TO announce
himself as a candidate for a second term to
arouse strong popular feeling in his be-
half The probabilities are, however, that
he is too shrewd politician to permit him
self TO be so deceived.
Nowhere in the west are the republican
leaders thinking Of him as q candidate in
1892, and the republican press Of that Sec
ton has nothing to say in his praise. In
deed, the republican papers of the west
failed to show any special interest in his
trip, and none of tho leading ones of them
hunted that it was probable that he would
be the party's next presidential candidate.
He could not, therefore, have got great
deal of satisfaction out Of his trip.
The truth is, the republican leaders look
upon him as failure His administration
is conspicuously weak. 1t has not helped
the party in any particular and is not
likely to. 1t has no policy. 1t has simply
drifted along in a weak sort of way,
making more enemies than friends. Blaine
is the only strong man connected with it
and the President has suppressed him be-
cause he is afraid that if Blaine were
permitted TO have his way the country
would regard him as the real head of the
government.
The contrast between Harrison and
Cleveland is striking. Harrison does not
lead in anything. He is virtually nom
entity. Cleveland was the real leader of
bis party. He had policy and his party
respected aud followed him. Harrison is
afraid to take decided stand with regard
to anything, and he refuses to permit
members of his cabinet to do so for fear
that they will gain a little more credit than
is accorded 70 him. Cleveland not only had
confidence in himself and acted upon his
Judgment, bnt he permitted the fullest free
dom to the members of his cabinet.
No, Harrison will not be renominated. 1t
is doubtful il his name will be presented to
the nominating convention. The Repub-
lican party has stronger men than he-very
much stronger-and one of them will be
chosen its standard bearer in 1899.

supt. Bakers Suggestions.


Mr.. Baker. superintendent of the public
schools. in his annual report, a synopsis of
which is published elsewhere in this issue
of the MORNING NEWS, makes some sug-
gestions for the improvement of the public
school system of this county which are well
worth careful consideration. One of them
is that the time required to pass through
all the grades of the schools shall be short
ened one year. At present the time is
eleven years. A child who enters the
lowest grade of thegrammar school at 6
years of age is II at the time of graduation
from the high school.
On account of the length of time re-
CURED to pass through all the grades to
graduation only a small percentage of those
who enter the schools graduate. This is
the case particularly with respect to the
boys. The assistance of the great majority
of the boys is needed in maintaining the
family before they have reached the age
of II.
The suggestion of the superintendent is
that the course in the grammar schools be
shortened one year. He thinks this can be
done without any appreciate loss to the
pupils, and that if it were done the number
entering the high school would be larger.
The board of education has appointed a
committee to report upon this and other
suggestions.
1t may be that the committee will inquire
whether the time from entering the schools
to graduation cannot be shortened more
than one year. Ten years is good long
time for boy, who does not intend to take
college course, to spend at school, A boy
who purposes to become mechanic should
enter a workshop by the time he is 16
years of age, and it would be better for him
In some respects, if he should enter it at
IA or Is. After 16 he will not find
the entrance into the workshop SO easy
as he will at somewhat earlier age.
AS the percentage of the boys who enter
the public schools intending to become me-
chanics is much larger than that of those
who intend to study professions the school
course should be so arranged as to give
them the greatest possible advantages with
in the time they have for attending school.
A boy who leaves school at IA,
or even 10 years of age, has
not much of an education, but if he
has been wisely guided and assisted he will
have a good deal of that kind of informa-
ton which will serve him in the practical
affairs of life and, if he is studiously in
clined, will be the means by which he can
explore any field of knowledge.

Pittsburg handles some hundreds of bar
rels of coal oil every day, and yet the
course of true love doesn't run smooth
there. For series of summers Albert L.
Day and Lizzie Fitzpatrick have loved each
other at the rate of mile minute-Pitts-
burg time. After lodging the old man,
who wears murderous looking foot, for a
long time they tired OF the perils of court
ship and decided to simultaneously
skip. They were duly welded by
Justice Lincoln, of Bl6llo When
they returned they found the old man
tolerably hot under the collar. He imme-
diately proceeded to make life exciting for
them. He refused to believe that they hal
been married at all. But now that the
young man and the chief of police have both
written to the justice and he has forwarded
to each a copy of his certificate of election,
his authority to perform marriage ceremo-
mics, as we'll as copies of the marriage
record, it is barely possible that the irats
dad may be satisfied and take them to his
house and give them his blessing and three
meals day. Their tumultuous devotion is
worthy OF reward.

Undeniably New York is a hard town.
So is Brooklyn. From the former comes
very sensational account of physician who
is alleged TO have taken advantage of a
widows anxiety about her deranged and
imprisoned son, to extort from her large
sum of money under the false pretense of
liberating the youth, who is still in prison
and said to be rapidly sinking into mental
and physical wreck under his confinement.
Now that the medico has been arrested the
poor fellow may be liberated. But there is
little likelihood that the guilty impostor
will be punished. About the same time
comes narrowing story from the City of
Churches, which recites that rich man is
making brutally strenuous efforts to sum-
marily eject his own daughter from his
house, although she is poor and indus
trious widow with several children) simply
because of the ill-will of a newly acquired
daughter-in-law. This seems peculiarly I'M
feeling when we take into account that the
poor woman is said to work hard to support
herself and children and to pay her inhu-
man father rent for the meager shelter she
has had. That man should have ripe-egr
ovation.

Once in great while minister gets
surcharged with few liberal ideas that he
feels bound to divulge that they may light
up the atmosphere. Rigid doctrinaires
seem to think such departure destroys his
theological usefulness. But that is not neces-
sarily the case. Now here comes the Rev.
Myron w. Reed, of Denver, who used to
preach to MIR. Harrison in indianapolis, with
fresh IDEAS. He thinks it a good plan for
ministers to And ont what people are think
ing about, if they can, aud adds: "A mau

Tor clergy1en, 10 per cent. off, cannot know

tiers should mingle with the mob as he suz-
gests. That's right. Hit a man ia the
stomach and you find out right away what
be thinks.

Cotton Fires on shipboard.

New Orleans has had one cotton fire on
shipboard this season. 1t was a small fire.
only four bales of cotton being damaged
1t occurred on the British ship Wileysike,
and while no cause could be given for it,
the investigation which followed seemed to
support the theory that most of the cotton
fires on shipboard are caused by spontane-
GUS combustion.
The cotton damaged on the Wileysike
was found to be saturated with liuseed oil
OF course no one could explain how the oil
got on the cotton. No vegetable oil is used
on the ship nor on the wharves. The theory
was advanced that the cotton had been car
ried to New Orleans in cars in which linseed
oil had ben transported previously.
One of the mArine surveyors of the board
Of underwriters said, in speaking of the
Wileysike fire, that cotton saturated
with vegetable oil, when exposed to the sun
or confined in the heated hold of the ship.
will ignite from spontaneous combustion.
Even cotton seed oil itself, being vegeta-
bic oil, will cause fire in that way,
although not in as short time as linseed
oil"
This oil theory relative to cotton fires on
shipboard may be the true one There are
enough facts in support of it to justify a
close examination OF each bale before it is
stored in a ships hold. Such an examina-
ton would consume little time, but time
thus consumed would be profitably con-
suned
