THE NEW YoRK CoNrnsr

The election in New York this year
has special local interest, in the fact
that it is the first in six yeare when all
the state officers are to be elected.
Some of them have terms of two and
some three years, so that only once in
SIX years do they all come together. 1t
will be remembered that IN 1888 the
governor was elected, and the fig
uIes made some unpleasantness when
aligned with the presidential vote.
Next year there will be no state officers
to choose. ana the administration now
elected will hold past the national con-
test, and the voting this year will have
great tvalue in estimating the presIden-
tial vote. The success of the Demo
Gratis by majority of $4,000 or more
would give reasonable confidence that
the state would go the same way in 1892.
The men from whom the Republicans
would naturally select their candidate
for governor have shown a great un-
Willingness to make the race. They
evidently anticipate repetition of the
experience so prevalent in the land in
1890. and prefer not to be caught in the
a
dignified figurehead, like WHITE, will
probably serve as the victim, while
the main effort is directed to Sc
curing control of the legislature.
The Democrats had a majority in
the house and on Joint ballot
in the last legislature, but the Repub-
licans held the senate. This is of nm
usual Importance now, as half the SEN
ators hold over and will vote for United
States senator in 1898 to succeed HIS
COCK. The Republicans do not mean to
lose any more senators if they can avoid
1t. The possession of both branches of
the legislature will have other impor
tant consequences for the Democrats.
presuming that they have The executive
also. For decade there has been no.
litical diversity between the two
branches of state government, and the
Democrats have been unable to Sc
cure fair show in the repre-
sentation. The increase of popu-
lation has been mainly in Dem
ocratie districts, and is not represented.

MAY MARRY Or NOT.

In recent discussions in prominent
magazines of the status OF women who
persistently remain out of the pale of
matrimony. it is accepted as manifest
fact that the welded estate is coming to
be regarded as much less essential to
the sex than it has been. The articles
contributed to the discussion have nearly
all come from women with husbands.
and who are known to have the most
agreeable personal experiences in their
domestic life; and yet they do not dep
recate the fact that there is among
young women growing disiuclination
to marry. The philosophy involved in
it is found quite rational. The higher
education and enlargement of oppor-
tunities in life are among the palpable
causes of this increasing tendency.
1t is not questioned that for the great
majority of women marriage is the de-
sirable condition, and even the ideal es-,
tate. As long as the world is operated
on the principles now dominant. the av-
erage female must marry. 1t is the
fundamental fact of society. The time
has been when the girl in civilized, as it
still is in the twilight regions, had no
other chance in life but as the domes-
tic fraction of household. Few ways
of comfortable living outside of matri-
mony were open to her. A stigma at
tached to the spinster role. 1t was as
sumed that her continuance in that con-
dition was not voluntary. Its becoming
happily different now. Girls who prefer
to remain single are not so often
impelled to mary for subsistence. They
can find means to live by their own
efforts, and if they choose to remain
independent and free it is their privi-
lege, and their motives cannot be ques-
toned. Statistics will not show that
marriage is becoming alarmingly infre-
quent, but it will be noted that it is
entered upon more deliberately and at

PUBLIC SCHOOL ETHICS.

II wish you would ceme up to the high

Carman to GLOBE reporter last evening
''Come and see the pupils as they enter for
the term work after their summer vacation.
1t is truly an inspiring sght-bright, joyous.
smiling faces, fresh from The rest and vaca-
ton; ambition, zeal, stamped on every brow
yes, it will do you good to spend few mo-
ments in the morning Witnessing the scene.
They all come with new resolutions, full of
life and energy 1t is like New Year day in
that respect. And we have learned that it
pays to have everything move with zeal
while the pupils feel fresh and eager for the
work. If any one in ST. Paul feels discour-
aged and has doubt concerning the future
iu an educational way, it would be good
thing for him 10 come to the high school
Tuesday morning. "
Judging from the talks 1. have had
with parents pursued Prof. Carman, 1.-The
public feels lively interest in the matter of
the details of the sessions. The old regime
gave long sessions, from s 80 in the morning
to o'clock, and some pupils attended tho
manual training school in addition. Now
the high school and the manual training
schools are combined under one administra-
ton, and parents generally appreciate the
change. Pupils that are just entering the
high school work can attend one or two ses-
sions day. That is matter largely elective.
The parents may decide it. In many cases
the parents only want their children 10 at
tend one session. and then return for dinner
and do their Studying at home. On the other
hand, there are many who desire that their
children shall spend as much time as posi-
BILE in school. They feel that the children

modated. They can attend both sessions.
The morning session will be from S:45 to 12
o'clock, and afternoon from 1 to 2:30.

''The basis for the high school and the man.
ua training school combination is that the
seniors of the manual training school will re-
main and complete the course in June, just
as they would have continued had the two
institutions remained separate. Those who
entered last February will remain at the man
ual training building one-half the year, and
then enter the high school. They are really
not yet qualified to enter the high school, be-
cause the seventh grade was admitted there
instead of the eighth. Other pupils desig-
mated as the middle class viii be at once
transferred to the high school, but they will
go to the manual training for shop work and
drawing attending one session at the high
and the other at the manual training school.
In addition, any high school pupil can take
shop work and instrumental drawing at the
manual training building.

There's nothing left for me to say
Where Longfellow has sung,
And tuned his Tyre beneath this spray,
When he himself was young,
When Minnehaha, dusky maid,
Was the only maid to meet,
And Hlawatha proudly laid
His trophies at her feet
She spake no word. for who dare speak
Where natures voice sublime,
Hath laughed and sung for centuries
In perfect tune and time.
She had no wish to break the spell,
But listened for the tread
OF coming millions" who might tell
Thy wonders in her stead.
At their approach the frightened fawn
Hath to its covert flown
The dusky maiden, too. is gone,
And thou art left alone.
OF all that then the poet saw,
OF all he sung profound,
Thou art the only landmark now
To mark this hallowed ground.
And even in thee the million feet
That yearly come and go,
Have seemed to mar the music sweet
That echoes in thy flow.
And thy majestic flow is checked
AT the approach of man.
And sheets that once thy bosom deoked
Now measure but q span.
The maid. the fawn, the spray are gone.
But sin the millions journey or.

A GOOD COOK WASTED.


She had studied not philosophy, nor had dal-
lied with theosophy,
Which often tries 10 lift the veil for just a
little look;
She avoided the piano, did Miss Ann Eliza
Hannah,
And devoted all her intellect to leaning how
10 cook.
With an earnest air and serious she studied
stews mysterious
And mastered all the processes OF making
wholesome bread;
Her pies were each a poem, and as she would
proudly show 'em,
20, how lucky Will her husband bev' her
friends ana neighbors said.
But alas for all endeayor, that forever and
forever
showeth faith to be carping iend OF dispo-
sition cruel:
For the fellow that she married by dyspepsia
was so harried
That he wouldn't let her cook a thing put
toast aud tea and cruel.

TELEPHONING TO LETHBRIDGE
Tried Yesterday by Electricians Over the
Great Falls 4 Canada Wire--SOt
Very Successful.

The experiment of tclephoning from
the Great Falls IL Canada depot here to
Lethbridge, a distance of about 200 miles
was tried yesterday. Sam French, the
hose house foreman, and William Acker-
man, the expert electrician in the en-
ploy Of the Bell Telephone company in
this city, went over to the depot yester-
day afternoon and manipulated this end
of the wire. They attached an ordinary
telephone instrument to the wire, then
telegraphed the man on the Lethbridge
end that everything was ready. He
wired back that he was also ready.
They attached a battery of seven cells
to the wire and began to hello. Only an
indistinct murmur could be heard in re-
ply. Twenty-Five cells were next tied ON
with a little better result. The word
Hello could then be heard quite dis
tiLctly, and one or two other words we're
caught, but nothing in any way con
nected was audible on this end. The
sounds seemed to fairly die on the wire.
1t was an entcrprising undertaking, and
may yet be successful. They will try it

that he is about to close out his stock
and retire from business. Mr.. Harris is

and has been in the city and prominent

been an excellent one was never more
evident than now, when people keep
rushing eagerly to purchase from their
old-timc favorite. 1t is greatly to be
hoped that, when the gentleman has fin
ally closed out his clothing business, he
will remain and in some other field cast
his lot with the citizens of Great Falls.
