Superintendent Palmer's Report.

The report of Superintendent Palmer
will be found well worthy of careful
reading. 1t is comprehensive, positive,
sound. 1t not only tells what has
taken place in the schools in the two
years, but it makes a number of sug-
gestions that should be given candid
consideration. Necessarily, it is i'm
possible for him to draw very positive
conclusions regarding the new school
law, for it has had but one year of trial,
and year is really short time for OBJ
serving results. Yet he is justified
in saying that, if the years experience
proves anything at all, it is that the law
has been success. The one fact that
the better class of teachers are unan-
imous in expressions of approval is
very significant.
As will be noticed, Mr.. Palmer takes
strong ground in favor of " a state tax
to equalize taxation among the towns"
and suggests that the revenue thus
raised be divided among the towns by
while the residue be divided according
to school population. The arguments
for this measure are marshaled in long
and strong array. The school system
is a state system; therefore it should
be supported by state taxation. There
are numerous precedents for giving
state aid to educational institutions.
"The common schools are aided by
state taxation in nearly all the states
of the American union" The tax
would be constitutional. Finally
schools in which studies prescribed by
law are taught " should be substan.
TALLY of the same character and useful.
ness" While this is radical PROPOSE
ton, it has much to be said in its
support. In the first place, it is very
evident that the smaller towns would
be greatly benefited. Against this i
will be said that the larger places will
be forced to give up their money tt
communities with which they have
little in common. 1t looks like being
taxed in order to make present t
other towns. But this is a marrow
view of the subject, and the more it i
thought about the less fair and con
vincing it becomes. Communities ar
not isolated and independent in thes
days of railroads, constant travel ant
frequent changes of domicile. Tn

litical unit. The larger places are de

THE bill to establish an intermediate
appellate court in each of the nine cir
cult districts of the country has passed
both houses of congress, and will soon
become a law, if it has not already. 1t
is a measure of the highest importance
30 the country, for it provides a means
of disposing of the mass of cases in the
supreme court, which has resulted from
She increasing number brought each
year. 1t makes it possible for the court
TO catch up on its work, to hereafter, for
many years at least, keep along with the
new cases, and to give more careful at
Iention to all business that comes before
it. This is one of the many good things
done by this congress.

IT has been claimed that Mr.. Start is
an attorney of large railway corpora
lion, and color is given to this state
ment by the presence at the capital of a
powerful railway lobby actively work
ing in the interest of his candidacy for
the speakership. Legislation directly
affecting the railways will be had at
this session, and it is important that a
speaker should be chosen who will
constitute the committees in the public
interest. This consideration should
have conclusive weight, particularly
with the farmer members.

A NOVEL way of promoting temper
ance in London has been suggested.
1t is to cover the sidewalks of the city
with glass awnings, the effect of which
will be to protect pedestrians from the
frequent rains. 1t is asserted that the
real cause of the greater part of the
intemperance of the city is the rain,
which drives the people with no homes
into the saloons. There is a good deal
of reason in this explanation, but the
rain is only one of many factors outside
the individuals liking for liquor that
drives him into saloons. Every item
of mans environment works to either
help or debase him. Men do not drink
to excess because they like the opera
ton, but because the conditions of their
social or business life drive them to it.
Given good, comfortable and normal
surroundings, and men will lead steady
and contented lives; but make their
daily lives unbearable, or even very
unpleasant, and the open saloons will
be frequented in desperation. The
point for attack in aiming at individual
reformation is outside the saloon.

"MR. START is better qualified for the
place in every essential respect than
any other yet mentioned, having had
more legislative experience than any
other candidate proposed, and being
well fitted for the position in every
other respect. These combined con-
siderations should settle the NATTER"
says the HardlCicb Gazette. The Gazette
is off in its statements. There is no
discount on Mr.. Starts ability, but in
legislative experience he is behind Mr.
Mann. The latter has just received
his third consecutive election to the
house, in which he has been an active
and leading member and has frequently
served as presiding officer. Mr.. Start
has been member but one term, in
1880, then he served in the other
branch of the legislature, so that in
point of time and extent of experience
Mr.. Mann ranks him, and, as the
Gazette says, " these combined consid-
erations should settle the matter"

THE Washington correspondent of
the Boston Journal says the maple
sugar men are dissatisfied with the way
in which maple sugar is left by the
tariff bill, alleging discrimination
against the maple variety. The cor
respondent says that the test provides
that sugars which by the polariscope do
not test up to ninety-fve degrees shall
be awarded only one and one-half cents
per pound. Just what he means by
this is not clear. All the reports of the
sugar schedule of the bill that we have
seen contain nothing of this nature.
The fact appears to be that maple sugar
is given every favor that is accorded
the other varieties. Congressman
Grout is reported to be dissatisfied be-
cause the minimum limit of quantity
was placed at 500 instead of $50 pounds.
Congressman Grout may well be dis
satisfied. His carelessness nearly cost
the sugar-growers all protection what

If the legislature fails to grasp the
situation, or to rise to the full hight of
popular expectation, it will not be by
reason of dearth of advice. Advice
has been showered upon the members
as plentifully as mama fell around the
Children of Israel in their journey
through the wilderness. Whether these
multitudinous counsels that have fallen
like dew about the legislature will prove
as wholesome in all cases for the legis-
lative mind as was the bread provided
for the hungry stomachs of the Israel
ties, is matter of some doubt. 1t is,
however, safe to admonish the law
makers to limit their efforts to rea-
sonable area OF legislative labor. A

pOrtance-done we'll are better than &c

grade of citizens. This is the aspect
of this case which must appeal in be-
half of state taxation. 1t is a truth
which will be forced home to reflect

small towns will help the large towns
