The Chinese Government has
acted within its unquestioned
right in intimating to the United
States Government its unwilling
ness to receive ex-senator Henry
w. Blair as American Minister.
Mr.. Blair's explanation that his
past utterances in regard to the
Chinese were dictated by polit-
ical expediency has evidently
failed to satisfy the government
of that country. International
courtesy requires that his APP
pointment as Minister to China
be Cancelled, and Mr.. Blair has
too much manliness and self re-
spect to wish to go where he is
not wanted. Asaman of ability
and patriotism he would be use.

other diplomatic post. Why not
make him United States Minis

HoMELY COUNSEL.

1t isn't worth while to fret, dear,
To walk as behind hearse.
No matter how vexing things may be.
They easily might be worse;
And the time you spend complaining
And grooming about the load
Would better he given to going on.
And pressing along the road.
I've trodden the hill myself, dear
IT'S the tripping tongue can preach,
But though silence is sometimes golden
child,
AS oft, there is grace in speech
And | see, from my higher level,
It's less the path than the pace
That wearies the back and dlms the eye
And writes the lines on the face.
There are vexing cares enough dear,
And to spare, when all is told;
And love must mourn its losses,
And the checks soft bloom grow old;
But the spell OF the craven spirit
Turns blessing into curse,
While the bold heart meets the trouble
That easily might beworse.
So smile at each disaster,
That will presently pass away,
And believe bright tomorrow
Will follow the dark of today.
There's nothing gained by frettng;
Gather your strength anew,
And step by step. go onward, dear,
Let the skies be gray or bluc.-Selccted'

Public sel,ooI Problem.

As mentioned last week, Essex
County is to have a Teachers In
stitute at South Bloomfield, com
mencing Tuesday. May 10, the
programme for which has been
briefly outlined in these columns.
1t seems to us that the greatest
of all public school problems is
how to properly cover the vast
field which is open for public
school work. Every intelligent
educator knows that the teach
ers i'll the public schools have too
much work to do not too much
for the teachers, but too much
for the pupils. The aim should
be to draw out and develop the
individuality of each child, and
in order that this may be done,
a teacher should have few pupils.
This brings us face to face with
the proposition that in the inter
csts of the pupils the teachers III
the public schools should be given
less number of pupils to care
for. Here in Island Pond the
teachers have each from forty to
fifty pupils to care for. This is
too many. There should be a
teacher to each twenty or twenty
five pupils. But how shall this
reform be accomplished? This IS
the problem which we announced
at the outset. To make. this
change would require an enor-
nous addition to the public
school revenue. More school
houses would have to be built
and twice the present number OF
teachers would have to be en-
ployed. Would the people stand
this additional taxation? We
believe they would if they appre-
ciated the importance of the
change.
fit be true that the highest in
diyidual ambition is sclf-improvc-
ment, then the highest ambition
which the race can have is its own
Improvement. This improve
ment is chiefly to be wrought
through the training of the chill
dren. Train up a child in the
way in which he should go anC
when he is old he will not depart
from it" is a profound truth, anC
in it lies the secret of much of thu
world S advancement. One gener
alton of adults can do no noble
service for the future of humanit,
than to train the children t,
walk in right paths. Therefor
it is more important to maintair
the public schools than it is t,
build bridges, to open roads an,
to erect factories. This bein,
true, it is of prime inportanc
that the public school wor
should be done properly and tina
for this work the requisit
amount of money should be pre-
vided.

CATCHING AMICROBE.-The swift,
enterprising genius ola Chicago
doctor has made this remarkable
achievement, according to recent
reports. On the theory that the
prevalent la grippe" was caused
by the earth's contact with some
thing in the shape of"Star dust,
he went hunting one evening
with a blank microscope slide,
exposing it to the air and then
examining it under the highest
power of his glass, he discovered
some new microbes" and later
the mucus of a grippe patient
revealed similar appearances.
This is IN interesting discovery,
but we hardly see how it is to be
made practically useful to the
thousands of sufferers in Chicago
and Pittsburgh and other cities.
1t is all right to catch your mi
crobe, and deal murderously
with him when in your power;
but the trouble is, there are
several billions of companion NIL
crobes, which refuse to becaught
on microscope slides, for the
advancement ofscience. Cannot
this enterprising physician go a
step further, and devise some
way for the wholesale capture or
humiliation of these pcrniclous
visitors. Golden Rule.

came to me yesterday communicating
the sad intelligence of Brother Strauben-
mueller's probable death.
He is a member of the Select Friends,
and also of the Masonic order, and am
informed has several thousand dollars
insurance in the Masonic Insurance as
sociation, and $4,000 in the Select
Friends. He was an old bach
elor, and while he has neither wife nor
children to mourn his loss, there are
doubtless many that will drop silent
tear over his demise. Very truly yours,

Mr.. S Fl Barnes:
DEAR SIR: Yours received and con-
tents noted. Knew Mr.. Alex Strauben-
mueller well. He was Mason, and
belonged to the Chosen Friends some
where back east. When he left here
some time about year ago he packed
up box of his effects and left it here,
and put his directions on it, "Alex.
Straubenmueller, Los Angeles" and
told me to wait until heard from him.
Anything that / can do to assist
in his behalf l will do willingly. The
box is here just as he left it. Respect
fully, A. AYERS.

THE SOLDIERS HOME.
TOO MUCH MONEY HAS BEEN Elk
PENDED.
The Appropriation Exceeded by About
Nine Thousand Dollars The Result of
the Visit of the Managers.

There is quite little fluster in official
circles about the Santa Monica Soldiers
home.
The national board of managers have
been at the home for several days and
have inspected every portion of it, heard
all the reports and have found every
thing satisfactory except the finances.
Much to the surprise of those con-
cerned it was ascertained that the ex-
penditures had exceeded the appropria-
ton by about $4,000. Now if there is
one thing that the board of managers
object to more than another, it is to be
obliged to ask congress to make up de-
ficiencv, so there was considerable crit
icism of an adverse character when the
disagreeble fact was discovered.
''It is nobody's fault in particular"
said gentleman we'll informed about
the matter yesterday to HERALD re-
porter. "There is no trouble about the
money itself; it was paid out all right,
and there is not the slightest suspicion
of anything wrong about that. The
only trouble is that more money has
been spent than is in the fund.-
This seems to have come about by
means of some misunderstanding be-
tween the officers. What this amounted
to could not be directly ascertained, but
it seems that Treasurer Erdman is to be
superseded, but by whom is another
secret. No charges against Mr.. Erdman
were made. but it was agreed that har-
mony between the officers was necessary,
and that the interests of the home ne
cessitated change.
Major Bonebrake, the resident man
ager, was authorized by the board to
employ women nurses in the hospital,
to hire a matron and an assistant sur-
geon. 1t was also decided to improve
the reservoir and water works.
The proposal to establish a federal
agricultural experimental station at the
home was approved by General Frank
lin, but under the circumstances no ac-
ton could be taken on the matter at
present.
Governor Treichels management was
found to be commendable throughout,
and the condition of the buildings and
the inmates showed no cause for COM
plant.

MIR. BERGIN's DEATH.
An Old Resident of Los Angeles Dies
Abroad.

ADrOau.
The many friends of William B. Ber-
gin will be panied ON learning of his
sudden and unexpected death. The
news reached this city Thursday morn
ing. The deceased was il poor health
for number of years, but for six
months prior to his departure for Ire
land he had improved greatly and was
in excellent spirits, anticipating the
pleasures OF revisiting his native land
after an absence of forty years. Born
in Ireland sixty-tive years ago, he was
attracted to this country, arriving in
San Francisco in 1854, where he resided
for upwards of twenty years. In 1874
he came to Los Angeles and entered into
business with J. A. Forthmann,
establishing the Los Angeles Soap
works, which has since developed into a
manufacturing concern of large proper
tions. During the seventeen years in
which he lived among us, Mr.. Bergin
endeared himself to all with whom he
came in contact by his genial, courteous
and unassuming manners.
The immediate cause of his death was
the result OF an operation performed
upon him, after which he fingered for
only a week. Deceased leaves three
brothers, one barrister in Dublin, the
second merchant in Fort Worth, Tex,
and the third merchant in Jefferson,
and two sisters, Mrs. 4. Clarke and Miss
M. A. Bergin, of New Orleans. His
nephew, j j. Bergin, is resident of
Los Angeles, and has represented his
business interests for several years.
