AMERICAN VINES IN EUROPE.
British consulate reports from Spain

preventing phylloxera and producing

writes that large amount of new vines,
mostly American, have been planted in
the districts most celebrated for their
wine, and that they produce superior
quality of wine. On the north side of
the island, where all the vines were de-
stroyed by phylloxera years ago, the
new vines have given their first fine
crop.

THE SCHOOL ELECTION.

AhH H SChOOL HAECIlONs
 There is no 'issue" involved in the school election this year except the one that is always present What needs to be done is simply to elect three men who will do their best for the schools and who are capable of doing well for them. Messrs. Strong, Holcomb and Sheridan admirably answer the requirements of the situation. Their fitness is so apparent that it does not need argument. We do not remember when better school ticket has been put before the voters, and we do remember many that have not been near as good.
 We call attention to one fact which there is some disposition to disregard, and that is that school ticket ought to be con- structed with due regard to the order of things which has hitherto prevailed in the board, and which has been satisfactory and productive of harmony all around. There is no reason why the political and racial (so to speak, structure of the board should be disturbed, and very many req sons why it should not. Putting in the field some of the tickets that have been proposed would bs foolish and dan gerous. Fortunately, Messrs. Strong, Hol- comb and Sheridan are such desirable and popular candidates that their nomination at once disposed of most of the questions of this kind that had arisen.
 The attempt to lug Mir. Curtis report into the election is silly and reprehensible. It is especially wrong to MT. Curtis, who is doing the best he can and should not be injured in this way.
 It is doubtful if there will be any im- portant opposition to the excellent ticket which has been put forth. There ought not to be. Everybody knows that the in terests of the schools will be entirely safe in the hands of Messrs. Strong, Holcomb and Sheridan. They are all good citizens, experienced in public affairs and unusually we'll fitted to deal with school matters They should be generally and heartily vofad for

A CHANGE FOR RECIPROCITY.

A CHANGE FOR RECIPROCITY.
 Venezuela appears to be a good place to try reciprocity with. On the first of next January the president of the United States may, without the farther consent of con- gress, and without any additional law on the subject, issue a proclamation establish ing whatever tariff dues he desires on any products of any countries whose duties on any American product are higher than they ought to be. The American consul at Laguayra has recently come home, and he says that Venezuela has entered upon an era of unexampled prosperity. This is due to several excellent crops of coffee and cocoa sold at high prices, as we'll as to the liberal and pacific government she has lately enjoyed. The English and Germans are pouring money into the country to build railroads, etc., and they are already realizing satisfactory returns. The claims of our country against Vene- zuela, some of them forty years old, that have so long been 8 source of diplomatic controversy, have at last been fully set tied, or are in process of settlement, through treaties lately negotiated.
 Reciprocity is the only question that remains to be settled, and Americans may confidently look for reciprocity treaty with Venezuela that will be more favorable to us than any yet negotiated. The fol lowing is schedule of percentage of duty at present collected on staple articles: Flour e9 per cent; petroleum, 214 per cent. dressed lumber, 263 per cent; bran, 116 per cent; beans, 56 per cent; lard, 49 per cent; butter, 20 per cent; potatoes, 16O per cent; resin, 93 per cent; straw paper, 109 per cent; tallow, 109 per cent; leaf tobacco, 13s per cent; cotton goods, 34 per cent; furniture, 200 per cent. The percentage of duty is upon the value of the article laid down in Venezuela The total exports of the country for the year ended June 30, 1890, amounted to s20,- 193, ,4S7, of which the United States took SIG, 1866, 765. The imports for the same period amounted to s14, ,995, ,34S, of which the United States furnished $4 OPS ,5S3.

 We have received copy of the Evening Telegram, published in Superior, Wiscon- sin, letters from which place have from time to time appeared in the JOURNAL AND COURIER. The Telegram has earned the reputation of being the best paper "at the head of the Lakes," and is always heartily at work for the interests of it's locality. Superior has attracted good deal of attention from investors and man. ufacturers, and seems to be on the right road. It has many natural advantages, and its citizens are enterprising and united in effort to increase it's prosperity.
 John Russell Young in speaking of Ros- COG Conkling's remarkable memory, says it "was like lumber room, or garret in an ancient castle. You never knew what was coming-a bit of rubbish or a gem. He would quote pages of Headley, de- scriptions of the French Marshals, Ma poleon before the battle of Waterloo, or things about the burial of Moses, tOh, had he not high honori' until the marvel came, how could the ordinary human mind with limitations endure it, and was there not some process by which it could be swept out or cleared or even burned out, if nothing better serveda There would be splendid declamation of the noblest lines in Byron and Shakespeare rubbish and gems heaped in confused tum- bling chaos" MT. Conkling disliked Whitman's poetry. "Whitman! I cannot comprehend him. He makes my head ache," he said, at one time.
 The Episcopal convocation of the Sioux nation at the Rosebud agency, South Dakota, was remarkable affair. There were 1000 delegates and over 5000 other Indians present, and every tribe in the nation, even the most distant, was repre- sented. They came in caravans of from twenty to hundred wagons, vending over the prarie in long processions, each family with their tepees and all their be- longings, and when the whole multitude was encamped at the agency the sight of the thousands of white and yellow tents, each with it's camp fire by night, was a strange and impressive one. The Cheyenne Indians came in one long procession of 109 wagons, and the Blackfeet Sioux numbered nearly ss many. Some of the delegates rode over 250 miles to the meeting, jour neying 500 miles in all in their wagons and on horseback. All the delegates and many of the visitors were members of the Episco- pal church. Bishop Hare of Sioux Falls presided, and there were seven white min isters present in addition to the forty-seven full-blooded Indian missionaries. Plans for the better organization and govern ment of the church among the Sioux were arranged. There were forty confrmations and many 'sconvictions" and "conver- sions" One point full of interest and material for thought is that the Indians were especially interested in missionary effort, and contributed literally of their money in aid of missionary work in foreign lands.

Hundreds of years ago, when at King Ahasuerus's famous feast Vashti refused to show her beauteous face, the wine was served in cups diverse one from another.
 This ancient fashion of variety in table dishes has received added impetus during the last few years, and it not only in creases the beauty and picturesquenesso of a well-laid table, but is great help to in- expensive buying, while at the same time it gives ample opportunity for lavish ex. penditure.
