THE Canadian farmers actually de-
mand the abolition of taxes on i'm
ported wheat and corn, according to
the Toronto Globe. The reason seems
to be that they perceive they are be,
ing amused with imposts ON certain
agricultural products, while they are
robbed by other imposts on necessar-
les. How long will it take the Ameri-
can farmer, who is not protected at all,
not even in theory, to see what the
Canadian agriculturist perceives so
clearly?

A CONGRESS of prominent physicians
is proposed, to be held in Berlin next
July, for the purpose of recommend
ing a uniform system of international
meat inspectors; and it is the idea of
the promoters that the German Gov
ernment should then call a conference
of nations to take action on the recon-
mendation. Nineteenth century scien-
fists do not take much thought of the
Legislative difficulties involved in the
carrying out of their numerous pro
jects; but their sincere desire to work
for the public good cannot be doubted.

IT is thirty-fve years since the
Democrats, of Iowa, have had the
felicity of electing a Democratic Gov
ernor. The organization of the Leg
islature having been finally effected,
Governor Boies will be inaugurated,
to-day, with unusual and imposing
demonstration. Thirty-fve years is
more than an average lifetime; but
there are many Democrats in Iowa
still alive who voted for the Governor
elected in 1854.

In some OF the counties of the State
the public school teachers have inter.
ested themselves in taking up collec.
tions from pupils for a monument to
the late Dr. Higbee. This seems like
an extraordinary proceeding, and there
is little wonder that it is being vigor-
ously denounced by the local newspa.
pers. Calling upon the schools for
such contributions can lardly fail to
prove demoralizing and should be con
sistently discouraged. There are few,
II any, instances in which collections
from school children may be fairly
made. The feeling aroused by this
case is so aggravated that it has been
proposed to have the next Legislature
enact law prohibiting the leyying of
contributions of any kind in the pub
lie schools.

A REMARKABLE case has just been de-
cided in a Nevada Court. Among other
things the Nevada law exempts fuel
from seizure for debt. A creditor of
farmer directed the Sheriff to seize
1000 bushels of corn in part satisfac-
ton of his debt. The debtor, on ap
peal, claimed that the thousand bush
els of corn constituted his stock of
fuel for the winter, as it was cheaper
for him to burn corn at its present
price than to buy coal. The Court
decided that corn to be used as fuel
was exempt from seizure for debt, and
that thousand bushels were not more
than enough for the winters supply.

The prospects of the international
copyright bill are greatly improved by
the adoption by the House patents com
mittee of amendments conforming the
measure to the Senate bill. This copy
right bill has been more misrepresented
than almost any other measure that was
ever before Congress. 1t is a simple
clean-out proposition to give the author
and the American printer and binder a
chance. 1t provides that foreign authors
may take out copyright on the same
terms with American authors provided
the type-setting, printing and binding
are done in this country. tits equitable

Delegates to the Women's Suffrage Con-
vention, which will meet in Washing

and the Riggs house has been selected as
headquarters. An informal reception
was held by Miss Anthony and other
representative workers in the parlors last
evening, and fully hundred ladies who
will attend the convention were present.
They came from all parts of the union,
and in their ranks were women who have

The bills relating to the Worlds Fair
can be brought up in the House to-day

impossible to get the bills up.

A stormy November day was fast deep

night as the inhabitants Of 1horpecombe
told each other they had ever seen; or, as
old Simon Bovine, the lighthouse keep

This sage remark was Simon's last con-
tribution to the company OF fishermen as
sembled in the parl7r Of the Sign of the
Anchor. where, on off days, or when the
weather appeared too threatening for the
feet to put to sea, they were won't to con-
gregate and discuss the prospects for the
next cruise, or the incidents attending
the previous one, and wash down with
sundry glasses Of steaning grog the
latest village gossip.

was the response from all, for Simon was

out into the night and was soon within

THE SMUGGLER'S DAUGHTER.
Tragic Episode in the Life Of a British Naval
Officer
EDITH L. O'DONNELL
Of . School
PREDATORY.


A few weeks ago THE JERSEY Cry
News told how Professor Eckoff, OF
the High School, had Instructed the
pupils Of his class In literature to write
novelettes as exercises in composition.
AS new departure in methods Of in
struction, the idea created mild SEN
satIon.
Many of the novelties handed in to
the professor possessed considerable
merit. but ON the whole the one Sc
lected tor publication by The Sun
DAY MORNING NEWS, and given be-
low, may be regarded as the best. AT
least in originality and boldness OF
conception and plan it surpasses the
others, and ii is marked besides by a
certain sustained strength OF idea and
expression
OF course it is not work of art.
II would be an injury to the young
author to fill her mind with any exag-
gerated notion of it's quality. 1t is
conventional in tone and treatment.
and obviously is largely the product
of reading rather than invention. But
there remains a good share of merit
and individuality in it on account of
which Miss O'Donnell and her friends
MAY feel well founded pride.
The story is altogether out OF the
sphere of highschool-girlism. 1t in
dictates some power of conceiving
character, some idea Of dramatic
situation, some notion of the pictur-
esque. and considerable facility and
clearness of expression. The account
OF the night marches and the fight,
while not wholly reconcilable with
mechanical possibility. still show suf-
fcient constructive power.
The lack of the story is an absence
of any genuine touch of imaginative
or poetic feeling. It has the air of
having been written too much in cold
blood for young girl.
Miss O'DonnelI is about sixteen
years old. She will not graduate
from the High School for nearly two
years She is a bright looking girl
with blond hair and large blue eyes.
She has not yet been advanced to the
dignity of skirts en- train, and conse-
qnentIy looks young even for her age.
She is a volulninous reader She says
she reads a book a day Her tastes
are very broad, everything from peri
odieal trash to the works of Scott.
Thackeray and Cooper being equally
welcome to her Size says that origin
ally she intended to make her novel
much longer. and give it different
ending But. being asked to finish it
in haste, she devised new plot, and
recast the story in its present mould.
It only remains to say that THE
SUNDAY MORNING NEWS presents the
story not as finished work OF litera-
ture. of course. but as an interesting
illustration of the work done by the
girls of the Jersey City High School,
and as a proof of the admirable in
struction given therein. The story as
it appears is absolutely as it came
from Miss O'DonneIl's hands. Neither
the manuscript nor the proof was
altered or amended in the slightest
degree in this office.

We have looked anxiously for the
passage of Blair educational bill;
but alas! 1t did not pass the Senate.
If we count right it was defeated
by the republicans of that body. Is
it a fact that that bill is material

And do they never intend to give
US the advantage that it offers?

There were three men for Circuit

Stanfield. The latter of these gen.
tlemen was nominated. Mr.. Stan
field is young man, just starting
from the people and we understand
is well qualified for the position, he
is called to take this place by the
republicans of the County. His
father was citizen of the county,
and fell in defense of his country,
and the people felt like honoring
the son of a father who gave all he
had for his country.
For Register there were seven
candidates, Kirk, Logan, Kinnick
Hall, Coker, Badgett and Webb
The last of this list was nominated
Mr.. Webb is Baptist minister, and
is a self made man. He labored to
step up to the best walks of human
life and is entitled to credit for hi:
effort. He is qualified to make 9

by a large vote. Both of the gen
