esting president of the republic, who
came into office penniless in 1886, has
now fortune of ten millions sterling
deposited in the Bank of England. With
gold jumping from a premium of 100 to
200 in single day and the government
threatening to issue s5OOOOOOO more Of
inflated paper currency to add to an
already overswollen debt, it is not as
tonishing that the average taxpayer
should reach for his musket and proceed
to settle with his oppressors.

SOME time ago the Boston Herald
offered handsome prizes for excellence
in English composition, the competition
to be open to all graduates of New Eng
land high schools the present year. The
conditions were such as to test the
writer's general information upon the
authors and subjects selected and their
power OF Thought and expression. Two
hundred and twenty papers we're sub
mitted in the competition. The first
prize OF $500 was awarded to Miss
Sylvia Clark, graduate of Pinkerton
academy, New Hampshire, and the sec
ond prize of $500 to Albert L. Thomas,
of the Brockton, Massachusetts, high
schools but the committee on awards de-
clared that the compositions as whole
were most unsatisfactory. "The end,'
writes member Of the committee, twas
almost absolute disappointment. The
faults are greater than of mere imma-
turity. There is painful constraint, a
self consciousness almost invariably
present. There is an effect of insin.
cerity, an inability or disinclination t.
write out real thought, that gives to thu
whole work wearisome, perfunctor.
appearance" The examiner cruell.
supports this strong statement by ex
tracts from some Of the composition
which abundantly testify to the trutf
of his charge. The contest serves
good purpose in calling attention to tn
defective teaching of Endi even il
the best of our public schools. TIL
New England magazine which has pub
lished some clever papers from the pen
of pupils in the Boston schools, Will
claiming great improvement in tn
scholarship, thought and style of mar
Of the essays, frankly admits that "i
remains true, however, that the instruc
ton in English, in good thinking and il
good writing, needs to be greatly i'm
proved in most Of our schools" a verde
in which all will concur.

YESTERDAY IN CONGRESS-.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 12.-Hale reported
back the house bill to extend the
law SO a. to require information to be OBJ
tanned from unincorporsted express COM
panies. Passed. Edmunds, from the ju-
dietary committee, reported an amendment
to the river and harbor bill. He explained
that its purpose was to make it unlawful to
obstruct navigation on any navigable wat
ers Of the United States. Laid on the table
and ordered printed. Edmunds presented
motion for a change of rules by limiting
debate on the tariff bill. Laid on the table
and ordered printed. Blair also offered q
resolution for such change of rules AZ will
permit the previous question to be moved
after proposition had been considered two
days. Laid on the table and ordered print
ed. The tariff bill was then taken up, the
pending question being on Vests amend
ment Offered yesterday reducing the duty
on tin plate from two and one-hfth cents
per pound to one cent, tho present rate.
Morgan resumed his argument against
the increased duty provided for in the para
graph.
Daniel spoke of the proposed increase of
duty as another step in the relentless and
inexosable way in which the republican
party -yas engaged against the agricultural
ferring to the proposition to limit debate
Daniel said that such gag rule would be a
fitting wind up to the sad and tragic COM
edy before the senate. Those who spoke
for the farmers were to be gagged like Gull
liver and were to be told to speak their Ave
minutes and go home.
"Shame," he exclaimed, upon you,
American senators, if you can hear such q
suggestion with pleasure or without indig-
natlon.
Moody said he was advised by the major
ity Of the finance committee that an amend
ment was to be offered imposing duty

TENNESSEE voted last week under the
Australian ballot law and the result was
sweeping democratic victory, counties
that have always given republican ma

time. Ignorance and republicapism are
synonymous terms in the south and the
states that adopt the Australian ballot
will knock them out. Hence the anx-

The Anti.Lottery Bill.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1.-THE house anti
lottery bill was favorably reported in the
senate to-day with an amendment provid.
ing that newspapers published in foreign
countries shall not be excluded from mails
under the provisions of this bill unless in
the opinion of the postmaster general,
they are being circulated. for the purpose OF
advertising lottery schemes in violation OF
the law. Accompanying the bill is a letter
from the attorney general giving his opin-
ion upon the other anti-lottery bills before
the committee. Legislation of this charac-
ter THAT is, designed to exclude news
papers containing lottery advertisements
from the mails] says the attorney general,
has been upheld by courts, and it seems to
be settled that it is competent for congress
to authorize the postmaster general to re-
fuse the use of the mails to any persons en-
gagged in the lottery business. 1t is general
" believed, ON the republican side of the
house, that a special order will be made
setting apart Saturday next for the con-
sideration of the lottery bill.
