The Public Schools and the Worlds
FAIR.

The following interesting communication
from Judge Chas. Grattan, ex-Superinten
dent of the County Schools, has been hand
ed us:
Nothing can be inculcated in our public
schools of more Importance than true
spirit Of Patriotism. History tells nc
story of any people who attained to moral
Intellectual Oh political greatness where
the love Of the Fatherland was wanting.
"Let me then suggest in connection with
School day, which understand is to be
celebrated commemorative Of the discovery
of America, that it will be fine object les
son in patriotism, as well as most profit
able one for Virginia. proper representa-
tion at Chicago. That the schools be
requested to take the matter in hand and
see what they can do to put the old State to
the front. If they succeed as I have no
doubt they will in doing so. then indeed
Virginia may point to her children as her
jewels.
1.-THE legislature did not deem it prudent
to make an appropriation large enough to
enable our State Board to do much, and it
has been sought to aid the cause by various
devices and byprivate subscriptions-thes
are working well-but Of necessity are
sporadic. The plan propose will reach every
heathstone in the State. No one will be
too poor to aid and each can aid without
comment OF criticism as they may desire.
The manner of the collection will he mex
pensive and will he accompanied by just
that degree OF emulation as will make it
interesting and productive.
81 propose that the Superintendent of In
structlon, Shall request each County Super
intendent to request, (for the whole plan is
founded on the idea of a free will offering)
each teacher in his county to prepare and
give to all the children in his OF her school
paper requesting contributions in any
sum from one cent upward from the pat
rons of that school and the residents of
that school district, to be returned on chill
dren S day, and to be tabulated with the
names OF the children and the amount col
lected by each. The teacher to turn over
to the County Superintendent the amount
so received and forward the name Of the
scholar making the largest return and post
ing for one month in the school the list.
The County Superintendent to receipt to
each teacher for the money turned in and
keep a list of the amount so turned in and
publish in the county paper the amount
from each school and the name of the most
successful collector.
1.-The money so collected to be turned
over to the State Board OIL used in a sepa-
rate county exhibit as the School Board of
each county may determine. The number
of teachers in the State is $40 white and
zoos colored, OIL 7,718-if each one of these
teachers has Is pupils then it would only
take 20 cents for each pupil to make SIS to
each school OF $Ss, 500 for the State. The
county Of Augusta and city of Staunt on
have 243 teachers-$5 from each school
would make 81, 215-quite enough to make
very creditable display at Chicago. Who
will help to push this scheme ?"

Mr.. D. l.. Eichelberger of the Clifton

OF his observations. During the last
twelve months, since which time he had not
visited the city, he stated that marked
progress was noticeable, more particularly
the extensive street improvement and the
spirit OF substantial progress that seemed
TO underlay every new enterprise "Her

81 am a Democrat. -

The delivery of Senator David b.
Hills great speech at the Brooklyn
Academy of Music on last Monday
night was one of the greatest events
in the Senator's brilliant, career as
well as the most important one of
the present political campaign. The
loyal announcement al am demo-
crat" heretofore made by him was
reiterated and emphasized. His
speech was closed with the following
memorable and patriotic sentences:
believe that a large majority of
the people of this country are con
WINGED of the rightfumess of Demo-
cratic principles and want them to
prevail. But the election will not
win itself, and there must be COM
plete organization. repeat the in-
junction | uttered before the Demo
cratic State Convention at Albany in
February last: at is our duty TO or
ganize, organize, organize" With
this motto inscribed upon our banner,
"Pnblic Office is public trust"
supplemented by the other sentiments
which | have endeavored to present
to you tonight, "no public taxation
for private purposes" and "no Force
BILL" let us close mp our ranks and
buckle ON our armor for the fight
with the determination TO do all in
our power for the triumph of our
party and the election of our honored
standard bearers, Cleveland and
Stevenson.
The effect of these decided words
from Senator Hill was electric aud
his action consolidate the democratic
forces of New York and thereby en-
sure the success of the ticket in that
State. To carry New York means to
carry the election. And personally
it means future career for the New
York Senator which will crafty his
highest ambition. To say al am a
democrat" may be but empty vaper
ing but to prove it by sacrificing pre-
JUDGES and throwing the full weight
of his great influence in favor of his
political rival will rebound to the
lasting credit of Senator Hill and in
the end demonstrate not only that he
is democrat, but from a national
stand point the most popular demo-
crat in the United States. Hill's
turn will surely come after main
tanning the decided stand he has
taken to its browning success of a
democratic victory. Meanwhile let
us join him and with united breath
and energy devote ourselves to "the
triumph of our party and the cleo
ton of our honored standard bearers,

IT turns out that the big Repub

Use to establish $500. 600 plant that
would pay 30 per cent profit, but
instead they got a $50, 900 plant en-
ploying forty-seven men. ten boys,
and nineteen girls. Four of the prin-

placarded the town the day of the

their tinplate stock at a discount,
with no takers. All the tin used
comes from Malay Peninsula, but
the fuel, which is natural gas, is
