honor and the others followed in this

school Statistics.

At the late national meeting of school
superintendents an important matter
came up for consideration. 1t was the
exceedingly defective manner in which
the school census is taken. Defective is
the mildest term to Use.
Examples Of what was meant were
produced 10y Fred Dick. state superin.
tendent Of Colorado. From statistical
reports he found that New Hampshire
had l3s fewer school houses in 1883 than
in lsss. The number of school buildings
in New York state only increased ca
from 1884 to 1889 According to the
same veracious figuring the number of
school houses in Indiana decreased eco
in lSss. Several other instances of
queer enumeration we're given. Evi.

All property was owned in common, az

Uncle Sam to Buy at Home.

There will be no British blankets
bought for the war department or
building material imported for new
government quarters under the Me
kiuIey tariff BILL The present
tariff act places on Tue free list
"artlclts imported for the use of the
United States, provided the price OF
the same ala not include the duty"
This is omitted from the Mckinley
bill, and the effect viii be TO dis.
courage government contracts with
foreign contractors, who, under the
present law, have an advantage over
both the American producer and
the honest importer. "The govern
meut,' says Major Mckinley in his
report, sought not to buy abroad
what it can buy at home" This is
very sound doctrine for people as
well As government.
Moreover, the change referred to
stops a peculiarly mean sort OF
fraud Foreign contractors who are
supplying the government under
the present law take advantage OF
tLeir freedom from duty to bring in
au extra supply OF the kind OF
goods contracted for to sell i'm the
market in competition with the
products OF American labor The
