A bin is TO lie brought before the
New York legislature calling for the
pcnsioning of supcrannuatcd public
school teachers. On general princi-
pies the paying of government
pensions is not desirable. Great
Britain today is loaded down to the
point of back breaking by thcnumber
and variety of government pensions
that must be paid to people for any
thing and nothing. There is one
thing that is much better than
pensions. 1t is to calculate as nearly
as possible the amount of money that
would be required from year to year
to pay the retired teachers pensions,
and then let the sum be added pro
rata to the salaries of the real live
teachers not yet superannuated
These will then have opportunity to
lay up enough to keep themselves in
their old age. or if they do not it is
their own fault. and they can go to
the poor house. With larger salaries
the standard professional training for
teachers might be advanced and the
poor ones gradually welded out. The
larger pay would invite a higher class
Of talent permanently into pcdagogic
ranks. AS it is. even women can now
in many cases earn more money by
doing something else than teaching.
If the teachers themselves wish to
create fund for the old age and i'll
ness of members of their profession,
that is well, but it ought to come in
that way.

1t was strange and apparently
trivial thing that defeated Arch
bishop lreland's Minnesota plan for
merging the Catholic parochial
schools into the public schools. The
Catholic sisters passed the state
examination and got their ccrtili-
Gates: religious pictures and obser-
vanccs suggestive Of the Roman creed
were left behind, and the sisters
passed quietly into place as public
school teachers. Then suddenly,
when all seemed to go well. the
Protestant parents raised a revolt
because they were unwilling thcil
children should be taught by teachers
wearing robes of Catholic order. A
contest of bittercst intensity broke
out on this point and defeated tho
whole plan at Fatrbault. where Arch
bishop ireland had the strongest
hopes of it. \ little mater of dress up
set the scheme which the Archbishop
had formulated with the utmost care
and to which the pope himself hat
given qualified assent.

One more step has been taken
toward the determination of the
kingdom Of Dahomcy. In the last
reported battle that took place
Bchanzin measured his fcrocious
amaZons against the strength of a

considerable information when ii was

Dahomcy will become a conquest of

Africa among them. Luckily for lis

Orators And Newspapers.

OrAtOFB AND newspapers.
When fifty years ago, Daniel
Webster pronounced his mastery
Grafton in honor of the completion of
Bunker Hill monument, he addressed
an audience which it was proudly
proclaimed all over the land,
numbered 1900 souls. This was
very great audience for that day. At
Chicago last month, 10000 people
gathered under one roof to listen to
the famous orators chosen to do
honor to that august occasion.
In an assemblagc so vast as this, no
speaker, even were he possessed Of
the lungs of Stcntor, could make

orator well knew this beforehand.

spontancitv.
So it would seem that the daily
press of our time. amid its many
other conqucsts, has conquered the
functions of the orator and speaks for
him to the people. Happily for
DcmosthcncS and Cicero, they lived
before the invention of printing.

Oklahomn.s Population.

A new claimant for the honor of
statehood is Oklahoma, the boomers
territory that was formed out of the
heart of the Indian Territory. Count
ing the additions that have been
made to it by lands coded from the
Indians since it was organized. Okla
homa now contains 100000 acres of
land. The Cherokee outlet strip will
give it 100000 more. The territory
promises to be a magniticentone agri-
culturally, most Of the products of

have taken land in severalty and are

which colonies of colorcd people have
ever flocked as pioneers. In April,
1889, when the boomers land was
opened. both negroes and women
joined in the grand rush for home
steads and town lots. One year later
Oklahoma had population of $4,000,
and since the census year it has more
than doubled. One year after it was
