TOUCH on GOULD.

There was a big blow and talk
while Jay Gould was in Albuquer-
que about how much he was interest
ed in it, how much he was going to
do for it, how many railways he was
going to build into it, etc, but that
there is "many slip 'twixt the cup
and the lip" was never better shown
than by the following from today's
Democrat:
"Jay Gould has come and gone.
He derived benefit from our climate,
but we derived no benefit from him.
1t is no part of Mr.. Gould's program
that any should derive benefit from
him. Slick little schemer as he is,
overburdened with wealth and with
all his views of life shrunken and
distorted by the obscuring bulk of
his money, we would not exchange
places with him today"
What a contented man he was
who wrote the above. We should
hate to try him with an offer to
swap.

The first thing to do is to deter
mine, when you read this message,
that you will do all You can to in
duce your school to enter the cele-
bration. Then show this message
to your teachers. Every patriotic
teacher will be glad to help you if
you show yourselves in earnest.
Take the me ssage to the school com
mittee and the superintendent; their
consent and aid are indispensable.
After you secure the support of
all these, then let the school vote that
it will enter the celebration.
The next thing after this public
vote will be the appointment of a
strong committee to take the charge.
This committee should be made up
jointly from scholars, teachers and
friends of the school. The commit
tee should in all cases be made up of
those who are most in earnest, so
that the work may not be checked
by any possible change of teachers
during the summer.
A programme of exercises will be
furnished by the executive committee.
1t will be simple and adapted 10 any
school, yet so arranged that more
elaborate exercises may be added
wherever desired. The aim of this
official programme will be that GER
tain leading exercises may be the
same in every school in the republic;
and that at leaut in one feature the
Chicago program and the school
program may be identical.
In due time this executive commit
tee will make more definite sugges-
tons on methods of celebration
through the superintendent of edu-
cation and through the press.
The duty of your committee will
first be to interest the citizens and
to prepare the school. Professions
may be arranged. The veterans,
both north and south, will gladly be

escorts for the schools. The other
military, civic and religious organi-
cations of each town will lend their
aid if they see that the schools are
determined that the celebration shall
be worthy of the day. The local
press will be the most valuable of all
supports; and the earliest effort of
your local committee should be to
enlist its sympathy and request its
cooperation. Ask your local paper
to print this message.
On October 18th the stars and
stripes should be floating from every
school house in the republic.
1t is the hope of the friends of
common school education that not
one public school in the United
States will allow itself to be left out
in this most memorable celebration.

In looking over the national plat
forms Of the parties for 1884, we OBJ
serve the following financial plank in
the Democratic platform:
1--WE believe in honest money; all
the gold and silver coinage of the

That sounds much ike a gold and
silver basis for all money, with a
paper circulation convertible with
out loss into gold or silver. The Re
publicans of that year say in their
platform.
ave have always recommended

9lI0E curl aGglSt Industries

A few evenings since our report
er's attention was called to the beau
tifully illuminated buildings of the
Smith Premier Typewriter works on
Clinton street, and upon investiga-
ton found chat owing to a large in
crease in business they were obliged
to run twelve hours a day, operating
between 800 and 400 employees. Con-
Sidering the rapid growth of the
business referred to it is very appa-
rent to the proprietor that it will be
absolutely necessary during the sum
mer months to build another factory,
and in fact the plans are nearly ar
ranged for the construction of new
building IF dimensions 60xl40 feet,
seven stories high. This new struc-
ture, in addition to the present build
ings, which have every nook and cor
ner filled with operatives, will admit
of working at least 600 people, and
if the business continues to increase
in the future as it has in the past it is
very certain that the company at no
distant day will require all the type
writers that GOO operatives can pro-
duce. We are informed that no other
typewriter manufacturers in the state
at present are pressed to fill their or
ders to the extent that they are
obliged to work overtime.-Syracuse

One of the striking and very at
tractive features of the dedication
ceremonies and display next October
will be the "Procession of Centuries"
or parade of symbolical floats through
the lagoons and waterways of the

to be gorgeous affairs. The contract
for the construction of twenty -four
of them has been let at an approx
mate cost of $500 each.

COLUMBUS DAY, OCTOBER u, 1892.

To the scholars of the public
schools of the United States the ex-
ecutive committee of the Columbian
public school celebration sends the
following message:
The 18th of October, 1892, the
4o0th anniversary of the discovery of
America, ought to be observed every
where in America.
The day will be marked in Chi
cago by the dedication of the Column
bian exposition grounds. The day
also may be signalized in every town
and village in the republic by local
celebration, of which the public
school is the center.
The public schools of the republic
will form the most fitting centers for
all these local celebrations. A
national public school observance,
simultaneous with the Chicago exer-
cises, will awaken popular interest
in the coming exposition. Far more
important is the fact that the public
school has the right to occupy the
most prominent place in the celebra-
ton. The public school is the one
characteristic institution which links
all neighborhoods together, and can
thus furnish common bond for a
national celebration. The public
school IS the ripe fruit of the four
centuries of American civilization.
The public school of today sways
the hundred years to come.
The first approval of this sugges-
ton came from the public school
scholars themselves. When the
plan was first proposed by the
Youths Companion January. 1891,
thousands of letters were received
teStifylng to the enthusiasm with
which the scholars responded.
The Worlds congress auxiliary of
the Columbian exposition then took
up the proposal, calling upon all the
people of the republic to observe the
day in their own localities, and sug-
costing that the public schools be
everywhere the centers of the Gel
ebration.
The superintendent of education
were the next to recognize the fitness
of giving to the public schools the
first place in the Columbian anniver-
sary. At their national convention
in Brooklyn in 1902, they took charge
of the movement, and appointed the
undersigned an executive committee
to lead the schools in their commem-
Grafton.
This executive committee now APP
peals to the scholars themselves to be
the first to move. 1t is for you,
scholars of the American public
schools, to arouse a sentiment in
your schools and in your neighbor-
hoods for this grand way of cele-
brating the finding of America. Ed.
ucators will meet you from their
side, but it is for you TO begin.
You will make it succeed if you
unite to say il ought to be done. The
interest of the public will be awak-
ened if the scholars join in the ear
nest request that the school be
TO be the center of the
days observance.
There are 100000 now in the
public schools. You have the chance
to conduct a patriotic movement
which will have a place in history,
and will strengthen the republic
through the coming century.

NEXT YEARS PENSIONS.
General Raum Estimates That S1So,0OO,-
600 Will Be Required.

General Raum Estimates That $50, ,0OO,-
600 Will Be Required.
WASHINGTON. Nov. %. 1S92.-In few
days the report of General Raum will be
completed and a full statement OF the
Pension Office will be presented The
statements have been made that the
amount that will be berequired for pensions
during the next fiscal year will nearly
reach the enormous sum of 5000, ,000, ,O0O
The work Of compiling the figures is,
however. sufficiently advanced to show
that this estimate Is in excass of the
actual requirements. During the last
year the appropriations for pensions were
larger Than for any previous year. In
fact. ever since the passage of the dis
ability bill, there has been a rapid in
crease in the amount needed 10 pay the
pensions.
For the years 1s9o-91. the total appro-
priation on account of pensions was about
$125, 900, 000 Last year there was an in-
crease TO $144, 000, ,0o0. But, as General
Raum will state in. his report. this
amount fell short of the actual demands
by about $4,000. 600, 70 that there is a
deficiency of that amount. Congress will
be asked to make an appropriation of
about $780, 100000 for the coming fiscal
year. about 18,000,0 900 of which is an anti
cipation OF an increase of that amount
over the actual expenditures OF the last
year. 1t is the Judgment of General
Raum that while this amount Is likely to
be increased for the next year or two, he
feels confident that the maximum limits
are nearly reached.
