Our schools for the Blind.

WASHINGTON, June SO.-The Census
Bureau has issued bulletin onthe sub
ject OF schools for the blind. Itappears
that the total number Of these schools
in the United States is in 1889 was
1891, while in 1880 the number was
2,o41. This apparent increase,it is said,
Is due to some extent to the increased
facilities for the reception and education
OF blind in the schools established for
this purpose. The average annual cost
per pupil in schools for the blind from
1880 10 1890, was S2SS.

TOO FREE WITH HER TONGUE.
A German Baroness Imprisoned for Say
ing tho Emperor Could ''KisS Her Foot"

A German baroness Imprisoned for Say
ing tho Emperor Could 'sKisS Her Foot"
BERLIN, June SO.-Everybody knows
the invitation that the robber-baron,
Goetz Won Berlichingen, sent to the
German emperor when the latter Or
dered him to open the gates Of the cas-
tie held by the freebooter against the
imperial forces. But nobody ever took
such an invitation seriously. Even
Goethe, in his great dream descriptive
Of the knight with the iron fist, passes
1t over with slight mention. Goetz Won
Berlichingen, who, by tho way, is said
to have been the original of the Ger
man version OF the story Of Bluebeard,
has been dead for these 320 years, and
according to Nine. Blavatsky's teaching
must have posed through several in
carnations on his way to Kal1na.
But one OF his descendants, the Bar
oness Won Berlichingen of Rosenburg,
in West Prussia, has Just been punished
by two months imprisonment for re-
peating her great ancestors heinous of
tense, for the benefit of the present
Emperor, who evidently, bright as he
is, cannot take joke. The trial came
OFT last Wednesday and WAS conducted
with closed doors, in order to keep the
awful crime us much as possible from
the eyes and ears Of the common peo-
plo. 1t has leaked out, however, that
the Baroness used the perfdious ex-
preston, which seems to have de-
scended in the house of Berlichingen
along with the family jewels, in an al
tercation with the father of one of her
maids, who upbraided her for ordering
his daughter to mount on an agricul-
tural machine, to the enlargement Of
her life.
BY wayl of emphasizing his remon.
STRANGE the father said that he should
object to such a performance even if his
majesty the emperor had ordered his
daughter to run such a risk. The bar
oness then few into a rage, and like n
true scion Of the house OF Berlichengen
said curtly but incisively that "T1is ma
jesty the empeaor may kiss my foot"
For this little ebulition Of the family
temper the ladywas condemned to six
ty days in Jail.

IOWA REPUBLICANS.
The Largest and Most Harmonious
Convention for Years
MEETS AT CEDAR RAPIDS TODAY.
Nominations Will Be Made Unaui-
moudy and an Important Campaign
WIN open--Tho Platform VIII
Evado No Issue And the Reciproc-
fly Policy ofthc Administration will
Be Enthusiastically Endorsed.

CEDAR RAPIDS, Ia, June SO.-The Iowa
Republican State convention meets in
this city tomorrow and every indica-
ton tonight points to the largest and
most harmonious gathering of Iowa
Republicans held for years. 1t will be
harmonious because most of the nomi-
nations are assured in advance and
because of unity upon the party prin-
ciples which are to be the battle cry of
this years campaign.
For Governor, Hiram @. Wheeler, of
odebolt, Sac county, will be nominated
on the first ballot.
The prohibition plank of the platform
of last year will be reattirmed, and a
demand made for more vigorous en-
forcement Of the law as it now stands
upon the statute books. At the same
time means for o less expensive enforce
ment of the prohibitory statute will be
recommended, and the Democratic
party and Democratic county and
city officials generally will be arraigned
for "conniyance with the lawless class
in the violation and notification of the
prohibitory law"
sThe financial question is the subject
OF much discussion, but the leaders OF
the party counse! the mere Endorsement
of the recent act Of Congress, with the
further declaration that free coinage
should be extended to the limit OF
American output, as soon as'the tinan-
cial necessities of the country may just
ify. This will be the substance OF the
party's position upon this question.
The Harrison administration and Mr..
McKinley's law are to be approved, but
reciprocity is the subject which is to
receive the warmest Endorsement from
the Iowa ReDublicans.
