THE intellectual part of the Column bian exposition, it is expected, will att tract almost as much attention as the practical and it promises a magnificent contribution to the worlds thought. The number to be interested in the in tellectual part of the exposition is not so great as the number who will be at tracted by the splendid exhibition of the worlds material progress, but the congresses will not fail to command the earnest attention of millions of intelli- gent and thoughtful men and women the world over, and there can be no doubt that much good will result from them. Nothing in connection with the exposition will better illustrate the genius of the American people for plan ming and carrying to success great enterprises.

Deserving of Great Respect.


 The teacher of the primary school, be she of high birth or low should com. mand the respectful admiration of every loyal citizen of our great republic. Hers is no small nor pleasant task, and in many cases she is a martyr upon the altar of her country. Lift your hat revcreAtly," says a writer in Colman's Rural World, "when you pass the teacher of the primary school. She is the great angel of the republic. She takes the bantling fresh from the home nest, full of pouts and passions-an un- Eovernable little wretch whose own mother honestly admits that she sends him to school to get rid of him. Tho lady who knows her business, takes a whole carload of these anarchists, ono of whom, single-handed and alone, is more than a match for his parents, and at once puts them in way of being useful and upright citizens. At what expense of toll, patience and soul wear mess! Lift your hat to her."

TRUTH Is Better.

In justice to Henry George, WHO is
really high-minded, honorable gen.
tIeman, il may be stated tha.-the be-
quest made 70 him in furtherance of
his single tax theory by George
Hutchins of New Jersey, was never re-
ceived nor applied by him. The story
in brief 10 that this disciple Of Georges,
by and with the consent Of his wite,
willed two-thirds of his estate to Mr..
George and the remaining third to his
wife. When the estate WAS settled up,
IL Melted but little moro than $4,000.
Mr.. George Immediately took steps TO
rellnquish his share to the widow, but
the relatives of the deceased stepped IN
and insisted on the provision OF the
Will being carried out. A law suit fol-
lowed, which has lasted now about
seven years, and nearly swallowed up
the estate. The residue goes to the
widow, with the exception OF $ls6,
which Mr.. George VIII use In circulAt-
ms his works, the profits arising, how
ever. he proposes to give TO the widow.
