A Most Important Duty.

Today the election for members OF the
Board of Education viii take place in all
the precincts of this city. The polling
places are named in another column of
THE HERALD. Every registered voter
should 90 to the polls and deposit ballot
in the interests Of education. This 10 a
most important duty and ought not to be
neglected.
1t was hoped that no partisan feeling
would be permitted to have influence in
this election. We believe this was the sim
cere desire Of the majority of the citizens.
But q few irreconcilable Liberals seemed
to be determined to spoil this effort at
union. They have so far succeeded that a
contest. to some extent partisan, will take
place in the First precinct In all the othor
precincts, whila there may be few votes
cast different from the regular ticket, moss
likely the triple alliance will prevail and
the regular nominees will be elected, re-
gsrdless Of whether they are Democrats
Republicans or Liberals.
Three out OF the i've candidates are now
members OF the board They have sery cd
the people faithfully and tremendously.
They have kept the Gauss OF education frat
in view. They have studied economy
while being liberal in necessary thinge,
aud have, TO surprising extent, avoided
party preferences and factionsl feelings.
They will no doubt be re-elocted without
difficulty
In the Third precinct well-known, In
tslligent and active gentleman has boon
selected by Representatives OF an tho
parties. He can be voted for freely IA d
consoientiously by every citizen who can
cast a-bsllot. The retiring member, Mr..
NEWMAN, has served the people well an
deserves all the enc0minms that are passed
upon him.
In the First precinct the incumbent de-
clines reelection. He has other duties
sufficiently onerous and cannot devote as
much time az Is necessary to this oflco.
The dispute caused by the rampant Lib
erals who were determined not to fuse
with the other parties unless one of their
own faction was chosen for the candidate.
has been pretty well ventilated. They
think they can force their man upon the
board without the aid of anybody but their
own party. and have placed him in nomi
nation.
The Republicans and Democrats, finding
it impossible 60 DO anything with 80 i'm
practicable clique as represented the
Liberal faction, have wisely united on
candidate for whom they ask the suffragsa
of all citizens who desire to exclude politics
from school affairs. MIR. ]. J. THOMAS is

nominee. All voters in the First precinct.
whether Democrats, Republicans or
Liberals, who wish TO join in the non
partisan movement, should vote for Mr..
THOMAS. This will give notice to the few
blatant Liberals who desire to run every
thing their own way, that they are not the

controllers of the peoples votes. Let US have

Information Needed.

The ignorance OF most of the people east
of Chicago in relation to the silver aues-
ton is constantly displayed. The cam
paign of education urged by THE HERALD.
for the enlightenment of the people and
papers of the east, was snesred at ry our
morning contemporary, but its own col
umns furnish evidence of the need of this
work 1t quotes from the Albany Journal
contradictory remarks which provo that
tho editor OF the Journal enlrely misun-
derstands the subject.
That paper repeats the notion to
which THE HERALD has previously al
ludsd, that free silver coinage would do an
injustice 10 1.-The Wage-workers, the con-
aumers. the creditors, the penGionsrs the

cause OF the ''intiatlon" it would produce.
How this imaginary initiation is to injure
these classes is not explained, and The
HERALD would like soma gold mono-metal-
lat to make it clear. If possible.
We do not know Of any class in the
| United Statss that would be injured by
the Imitation" OF silver currency except
been time in the history OF the country,
SO far as we are aware, when there was
too much silver money in circulation to
suit the common people. That there is too
little money in use now to carry on the
business of the world is recognized by
everybody mono -metsllists as well SO BIZ
metallists, who have given the matter fair
consideration.
But the trouble is, tie subject is not
understood, and the gold spectators
spread the same kind OF alarm to which
the Albany Journal gives voice. and thus q
widespread prejudice against silver as
money prevails, and the success OF the
white metal cannot be assured until the
ignorance existing Ia dispslled by the light
of truthful information.
1t does not look likely that the Brussels
conference viii do much toward the res
toration of silver 20 its proper place. The
PROBABILITY is that the utmost that will be
done win be an increase in the govern
mental purchase Of silver and highering
of it's legal tender limit. The education
needed will have to be extended across the
Atlantic and into every European nation
before the triumph of silver can come.
But there is a powerful influence at work
in this country in its favor, and if the inter
est which has been awakened by the recent
election is promoted with persistence and
zeal, the goal in view of the silver men
may be reached before many years have
passed away.

The Presidents Message.

The President says all the country's
prosperity is due to the protective system,
but, after a rigmarole of high tariff talk,
says the result Of the late election must DO
accepted as meaning the repeal of the
same. He undertakes TO indulge In soma
fine sarcasm on the subject of the expected
disappointments of the people; but until he
can rail the figures OF the Official returns
his taunts and iibes will pass only as the
bitter reflections OF defeated candidate.
Mr.. HARRISON follows pretty much the
same line as in his letter accepting the
Minneapolis nomination whsu commanding
ing the work Of his administration. Es-
pecially does he plume himself on the re-
ciprocity experiments, which have SO COM
pletely gone out of the public mind.
Il regard to the silver question, Mr..
HARRISON expresses his own confidence
in the final adoption OF an international
white metal standard by the snow reluc-
tant governments but thiRks it 700 early
to predict what may be accomplished at
Brussels. This. after the fnanciers of the
world have concluded that nothing of great

ABOUT THE only recommendation of any

idea no doubt prevails in the war Office, but
it smacks too much of the "egete monarchy'

 "No," said the old drummer fercely, 'T play no games of chance any more, not even the simplest kind, for money"

 "Why noti" asked the other.
 "Do you see this dollar" he said, taking @ cart-wheel from his pocket. "Well, thereby hangs tale.

A French View Of George Eliot.

lfrom the Revue des peux Mordes
 With a power almost unique, George Eliot has united the broadnsss of the phil osophical thought of the Germans to the plastic talent which to them is so often lacking. She possesses. in fact, the most precious qualities of the novelist; the fac ulty of creating living perspnAges which the reader sees before his eyes, and which he is not able to forget when he has seen them; the gift of dialogue, abundant, nat ural, full of humor; and, above all. psy- chological observation the finest and most penetrating. Among many others we re- call the characters of Dinah, Gwendolen, Dorothea, Rossmond, and that admirable beginning of "The Mill on the Floss, !" which contains the truest description known of the soul of child. But, at the same time, George Eliot has the ever present idea of the infinite intricscy of causes and effects in the universe. She sees individu- als in relation to the environments which explain and produce them. From this the expression of gravity, almost of majesty, which characterizes these romances; they participate in the depth of nature. The chASscters are, for the most part, people likS the rest of the world of ordinary minds, neither very good nor very bad. Nevertheless George Eliot discovers to us, in their half-obscured consciences, human ity itself with the painful progress of moral ideas and the slow conquests of he- reality. These are romances of a mind fs- milisr with Spinosa, who is able to see creatures ''from the point of view of eter- nity;" of mind which has studied, with Feuerbsch and D. Strauss, how religions are born and perish, and which has com prehended, with Goethe and Spencer, the theory of univer-rl evolution Notwith- standing, the romances of George Eliot are not always irreproachable as works of art Sometimes the quality of the thinker and the artist betrsys itself, and one might gay that the union between the original diverse elements of which her genius is formed re- mains incomplete.

AN INTERESTING SOCIETY.

There are many societies, but there Is room for one laore. TLe Society for the Prevention of Tuberculosis has been or ganized in Philadelphia, and the example should be generally initiated. Dr. Flick of that city has done much to convince the people that tuberculosis is contagious and that it's ravages can be greatly reduced. He thinks that since 1885 there has been 8 gradual and continuous reduction of the death rate from this disease, owing to the increased public effort to check it. In 1881 the mortality rate from consumption fin Philadelphia was 3.1sS to 1000 persons, while in 1891 the rate was 2.454. Dr. Flick estimates that with the present population of Philadelphia the decrease means the saving of 7S4 lives each year. He claims that the reduction can be ac- counted for upon the theory that pull monary tuberculosis is contagious, and that the people and the physicians have adopted preventive measures, on the principle that it is best to be on the safe side. Dr. Flick says that lowing to the fact that the con- tagion is necessarily con fined to the pus given of, tuberculosis is of all diseases the most easily preventable. All that is neces- sary is to confine and destroy this pus and the most intimate relations between the sick and the we'll can be safely main tained."
 It is expected that the Philadelphia so- ciety will do the poor much good, for it in tends to work among them with scientific methods, and to teach them also how to guard against contagion. Plain facts about tuberculous disc ases will be given in the form of pamphlets to the people, and the boards of health throughout the State will be requested to list such diseases as con- tagious and report all cases. It will also be the duty of the boards to inform nurses in chargs of patients how to destroy the sources of contagion. It will also be the business of the society to disinfect and purify the haunts of the disease and en- force the lesson of cleanliness among those
 who are likely to fall victims to it.
 The theory that tuberculosis is conta- gious has received strong support, and is now quite generally accepted both in this country and in Europe. It can do nc
 harm to act on, this theory and may dc much good.
