Cleveland arrived at the pension office
building. accompanied by retinue of
friends. The President and his wife
started on tour of the ball room. The
President led the way on the arm OF Maj.
Scofeld while Mrs. Cleveland followed,
escorted by Justice Gray of the Supreme
Court. Following them came Col. and

Bissell, Hoke Smith, Mr.. and Mrs. j.

Watson Glider, Mr.. and Mrs. E. c. Bene-

others.
AS the party entered, the Marine Band
played 'Hall to the Chief" and immedi-
ately there was crowding of those in
the centre towards the entrance through
which the presidential party had come
The greatest interest was manifested
in Mrs. Cleveland, and hundreds of wom-
en- We'd with each other in getting to the
front of the line, where they might
catch good glimpse of her face.
A few minutes only were consumed in
the circuit of the ball room, and then
Mr.. and Mrs. Cleveland and party went
up stairs to their apartments, where
they received large number of promi-
nent persons.
The Vice Presidential party arrived at
10 o'clock, and made a circuit of the
hall in manner similar to that of the
presidential party.
Ex-Speaker Reed was conspicuous
figure in the ball room, and was almost
constantly surrounded by a groups of
friends.
Governor Russell of Massachusetts
and Governor Flower of New York were
the recipients of much attention.
Mr.. and Mrs. Cleveland left the ball
room shortly before 1880. Their depart
ure was made so quietly that but few
people were aware OF it. The Stevenson
family remained somewhat later, as did
also several members of the party who
came with the Clevelands. Carlisle was
one of those who remained and he and
Mrs. Carlisle held several impromptu re-
ceptions in several parts of the hall.
At 12 o'clock the band struck up
'sHome, Sweet Home,'' and the assembly
dispersed.

THE wALDoeoRo coLLEcToRsHIp
A Hot Fight Amoug Aspirants For the
Position,
Especial to the Press.l

RocKLAND, Feb. 5.-The coll lectorship
of customs for the Waldoboro District,
over which such brisk fight has been
going on since Cleveland's election, but
about which ittlehas been said of late,
is again the cyncosure of political eyes.
Although the term of William II. Luce,
of South Thomaston in that capacity,
does not expire until 1895, it is the belief
of great many Democrats that his ag-
gressive attitude toward that party
co-pled with little dissatisfaction
among politicians of his own faith, will
cause his removal and the appointment
of new collector for the head Of the
District at no distant date. Foremost
among the aspirants for this fat Office,
(the Collector for the Waldoboro Dis
trict gets $4,000 is Hudson ]. Hewett,
the Napoleon of Rockland politics.
Hud or sCapt" he likes to be called
now, has worked early and late gather
ing names of Democrats of more or less
prominence throughout Knox and Lin
coin counties, so that last week when he
visited Washington, d. c., he carried a
a petition almost rivaling in length mis-
autobiography. Upon his return this
week he was very reticent, but it is
learned from his friends that he got no
encouragement other than that the mat
ter would be considered.
About the most prominent candidate
at this time is j. E. Moore, Esq, of
Thomaston. Mr.. Moore and the Demo
cratic organ of this county are not on
the best of terms, in fact the latter sup
ported Mr.. Hewett for no other purpose
than to kill Mr.. Moore, it is believed !;
but j. E. Moore made the District a
most excellent collector under Cleveland
and his strong pull with county and State
committees will doubtless cause his re-
appointment
When the contest over the collector
ship began, great de i of interest cen
tered upon Capt. William P. Hurley,
Cleveland's s Rockland postmaster and one
of the leading Democratic politicians of
this section. He was quite generally be-
lieved to be candidate for tho position,
and as was we'll known, should Frank
Jones' influence again be brought to bear
for him, Mr.. Hurley would secure the Of
| fee without moving hand. But it has
lately come to light that Capt. Hurley
was seeking still higher honors and met.

THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS OF NEW-YORK.


There are two points of great general in
tercst in the annual report Of the Supcrntcnd-
ent of Public instruction of this State. One
of them concerns itself with compulsory educa-
ton; the other with suggested modification
CT the system of instruction now in force in
our public schools.
For many years our Superintcndcnts OF Pub
lie instruction have condemned the Compulsory
Education law which has been upon our statute
books ever since 1875, and have urged the
passage of another to take its place. The cX-
listing law is a dead letter, one of its radical
faults being that no provision is made for
carrying it into effect. That there is crying
need in this great Commonwealth for q law
which shall really compel the attendance Of
children at school is recognized by all who have
periised the statistics presented by the super
intcndcnts from year to year. Thousands OF
boys and girls arc growing up in New-i Ork
in ignorance and in the vice which ignorance
is apt to breed. We are fond of bOastng of
the progress of our civilization, but the fact
remains that these children seldom or never
see the inside of a schoolhouse. The result is
they are growing up curse to themselves, a
menace to their fellows, and a grave peril to
the common veal. A Compulsory Education
bill is now pending in the Legislature. 1t
ought to be perfected and passed at an early
day. This is one Of the measures which law
makers who have an adequate conception Of
their duty TO their constituents cannot afford to
neglect. Give NewYOhS a good, practical
compulsory education law this year. Tn
necessary delay in this matter is criminal.
The other point in the report is sure to occa-
sion much discussion. Superintendent Croker
argues that the tendency OF the State under
our present school system is to do t,o much
for the higher and too little for primary educa-
ton. 1--WE want fewer studies," he contends,
and those which arc moro useful to tho
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1893-03-07

masses, and these should be taught more 'nor-
oughly. We need less trigonome'ry
and more business arithmetic less botany anu
French and more and better penmanshlp, ieSS
popular fads and more common sense" ihere
is no doubt that in taking this position super
intendent Crookcr reflects the views OF large
element of every community. On the otner
hand. he will find that on all sides what ne
says will encounter dissent 1t is to De re-
pretted that he did not speak with more pre-
csion. It would be interesting to learn JUST
what he would include in public school course
of instruction. If trigonometry is to go Is
algebra to remain, or is no mathematics 10 DO
provided beyond arithmetic? Is no language
to be taught but English? And what Is mean'
by popular fads"? .o
The Committees on Education OF the TWO
houses at Albany will find much in the report
worthy of their attention. But whatever else
they may do with it, they must not neglect
it, recommendation looking to tho passage OF d
COMPULSORY education law. Its other recon-
mendations can wait That one must be acted
upon at this session.

Such an exhibit as this is particularly inter-
csting at the opening of Democratic ADMIN
istration which is pledged by the Chicago plat
form to uncompromising hostility to heci-
procity. President Cleveland has refrained III
his inaugural from indicating his polcy re-
specting the Spanish and other conventions, out
he has declared emphatically against any sys-
fem of industrial bounties. The sugar boun-
ties, if his ideas prevail, will be abandoned
That will inevitably bring the Louisiana plant
ers before Congress with loud clamors for the
restoration of duties on sugar. IL their APP
peals are granted, the Democratic Adminlstla-
ton will enter upon its warfare against pro-
tected industries by protecting the Louisiana
cane interest. That will be very awkward
and embarrassing dilemma. -,
The restoration Of the duties upon sugar VIII
not only involve direct tariff protection OF
Southern industry, but it will also increase inc
power OF the combination OF reflnefs which
seeks to control the price of sugar. AS Prcsi-
dent Cleveland has seen fit TO take strong
ground against tariff trusts this will be an
other inconyenent complication Hence 1t Is
probable for these and other welghty REASONS
that the new Administration will not favor the
restoration of sugar duties by which the whole
series of Reciprocity treaties would be abfO-
gated. These treaties as they now stand are
for the mutual advantage of consumers ana
exporters. They are working admirably and
increasing the volume of the Nations foreign
trade. Tho President is not likely to take up
arms against popular policy highly beneficial
to American merchants and farmers.

SO far as flour is concerned the comparison is

Respecting the other classes the comparison is

that period the importation into Cuba of Ameri-
