The Popular Will.

The triumph of the farmers and laboring
men over the politicians in the nomination Of
Hon. Frank Brown for Governor seems as
sured. Let the people also triumph in the
denomination of Hon. Pinkney J. Bennett for
| the State Senate. The strength of his cause
lies in the fact that he has been patriotic enough
to ignore his personal interests in his real
regard for the honest toilers of the state, by
trying to relieve the debtor class from por-
ton of taxation which is burdensome to them,
and lay it ON the capitalist, whom it would
not Cypress, and who, in all justice, ought to
bear II. He has furthermore demonstrated
that he is a courageous defender of the public
schools, the only means of education for the
children of the common people, If the SEN
ator was poor man himself his attitude to-
ward the bone and sinew of the country would
be a matter of course. But he is not one of
those who would suffer grievously from OPP
pressive laws, and his sympathy with the class
who do is all the more to his credit. 1t shows
that his heart is right, and that he can be
trusted with legislative power. The writer is
not believer in class legislation, and depre-
Gates any attempt to array one class Of his
fellow citizens against another. But the rich
and prosperous can take care of themselves
in every forum. The protection of lawmakers
is needed especially for the laborers and the
agriculturists who compose the bulk of the
people. And when a representative is found
who realizes and acts upon this theory, the
class who get the benefits of his services onght
TO unite in securing continuance of them.
1t is not impossible that Senator Bennett s
independence and devotion to the needs of
the common people make him less welcome
TO the practical politicians. If so, in the
same proportion he ought to be esteemed and
valued by the people. have no quarrel with
the politicians Their substantial services to
mankind are appreciated. But they some
times seem to forget the sources of power in
our system of government, and need to be re-
minded where the sovereignty resides. From
the bosom of the common people whom they
all profess to love and serve, | raise this voice
in behalf of public servant who has exhib-
tied his real devotion to their interests, and
! that not so much on his account as on theirs.

Result of the Annual Examination of Teachers.

The School Examiner has completed his
inspection of the papers submitted at the an-
nual examination of public school teachers
and other persons seeking certificates of quail
iiication as such, and applicants for scholar
ships at the State Normal School, held at
Central Hall school house in this city April
Is, l6 and II, last, and will report to the
School Board at its next meeting substantial.
ly as follows:
Twenty-one ladies and 35 gentlemen at
tended the examination as applicants for
teachers certificates, and ladies and gen
tlemen as applicants for scholarships at the
State Normal School. OF the applicants for
scholarships not one reached the required
average of 81 in each branch, but two, Carrie
Fleagle and Jacob Bittle came so near it as
to justify their appointment. Of the appli-
cants for teachers certificates only two
reached the required averages of 5! in each
branch. These are Edgar NJ. Bush, who
made general average of 7-12, emitting
him to first grade certificate, and Wiley W.
Jenkins, who made general average of Z,
emitting him to a second grade certificate.
Twelve of the number present are teachers
who were seeking higher certificates than
they now hold. Their present certificates
will be renewed where they have expired.
Nine others are under the legal age.
In what are called the higher branches, such
as philosophy, algebra, bookkeeping and
geometry, the papers are excellent in some
cases and fair in many. 1t is only in the es-
sentials of the public school curriculum,
spelling, writing, arithmetic, geography, histo-
ry and grammar, that they are lamentably
and surprisingly bad. The general average
of all applicants, in arithmetic is 2 1l-20, in
history Is, in geography 7-20. The
questions were taken, for the most part, from
common schoolbooks, and are all within the
limits of common school grades.
