THE SCHOOL LAW.

The disposition of the surplus, left in
school district treasurers' hands, con-
tinues to be fruitful theme, especially
where that surplus consists principally
of public money received this year, and
presumably appropriated to support the
schools of 1893. On this point the Mont
pelier Watchman says: "The district
system had not been wiped out day too
soen. On general principles, we have
for years strenuously advocated the
adoption of the town system. Here and
there were outcOppings of the moral
and financial obliquities that the dis
trict system fosteTed and protected, and
these added force to the argument for
the change. The expression of opinion
last week was based on developments of
the inside workings of the system. As
the rays of the clear, bright sunlight of
publicity are poured into the inner re-
cesses of school administration-or NAL
Observation-Disclosures the old system,
we are constrained to add all possible
emphasis to the declaration that it has
not too sooA been wiped out. 1t ought
to have been abolished years ago. II
ought never to have existed. We pub
lish elsewhere in this issue trenohant
letter upon the school questions current
ly discussed and upon the abuses that
were practised under the district system.

THE OLD LIBERTY BELL.

The old liberty bell started from Phil
adelphia Tuesday morning on it's journey
to Chicago, where it will have a place of
honor in the great exhibition. From
Independence hall this old bell rang ou
the birth of the republic on July 4, 1776.S
When the British occupied Philadelphia
in 1777 the bell was removed to Ian
caster. 1t was returned and used as a
state house bell until 1928, when it was
hung in the new steeple of Independence
hall and used only on rare occasions. 1t
rang when Lafayette visited the city and
in honor Of Henry Clay. On the latter
occasion it was cracked.
The liberty bell was imported from
England, but, having been cracked on
trial, was recast in Philadelphia under
the direction of Issac Norris. Running
around near the top is this inscription,
proclaim liberty throughout the world,
to all the inhabitants thereof" Beneath
is this legend, "By order of the Assem-
bly, of the province of Penna, for the
state house In Philadelphia" Still fur
ther down, "Pass & Stow, Phila.,
MDCCLIII."
The only other recent occasion when
the bell has left Philadelphia was when
it went to the New Orleans exposition.

THE NAVAL REVIEW.

The naval review at New York yester.
day was probably the most notable
pageant in the history of the world
Never before have so many nations been
represented by so many great war YES.
sells; never before has the new world
given such a welcome to the old world.
Though rain caused the postponement
of the review till afternoon, the day was
a success from the time the president
embarked on the Dolphin till the close
of the Columbian ball in the evening.
Considering the decorations and the
well-known people present this ball was
the most splendid one ever given on this
continent.
1t was an unintended but a vindicA-
ton of John Roach that the Dolphin
should have been selected as the review
boat of the President. The exercises
read almost like the reception and ex-
change of courtesies of royalty. The re-
port says:
AS soon as the president stepped on
board the Dolphin the vessel tripped her
anchor and fired one gun as a signal.
This was responded to by boom which
seemed to shake the whole city. The
aouole-tuTreUed nUnituI Milan GUuuhlah
lying at the rear of the port column,
fired for the first time in port one of her
huge 10-inch guns, charged with nearly
250 pounds of powder. Almost before
the reverberations of this 25-ton gun
had died away in the distant echoes the
whole fleet was called to quarters, yards
were manned and every preparation
made to receive the president of the
United States with becoming respect
Seen at this moment, before half the en-
veloping clouds of gunpowder smoke
from the subsequent salutes had OBJ
scured the air, the scene was pretty as
will be imagined. AS the Dolphin's bow
came in line with each man-of-War,
present arms" was sounded on the
bugle, officers and crew saluted the
bands struck up the national air, and q
national salute of 2l guns was fired by
each ship. During the half hour or
more that the presidential progress
lasted cannonading never ceased, until
in all moro than 1900 guns had been fired.
The firing began with the German flag
ship Kaiserin Augusta and the Brazilian
battleship Aquidaban; it was taken up
with more p0nderOus manner by the
Dutch Van Speyk and the Spanish In
fanta Isabel; 1t was followed by the
Argentina Nuevo de Julio and the Italian
Etna; was continued by the American
Charleston and the French Arethuse;
followed by the flagship Newark and tho
Russian admiral's ship Dimitri Donskoi
and closed by Admiral Gherardi in the
Philadelphia and Admiral Sir John Hop
kins in the Blake. The intervals be-
tween the artillery exercises of the flag
ships were filed by similar exercises on
the part of the other vessels of the
squadron.
Following close in the wake of the
Dolphin, and getting the full benefit of
the salutes, came the army steamer
General Meigs, bearing the duke of
Veragua, attended by Gen. Schofield of
the army, and Rear Admiral Belknap of
the navy.
The only steamer permitted within
the limits during the brief progress of
the presidential review was the Non
mouth, upon which were senators and
members of Congress, governors of
states, newspaper representatives and
other invited guests.
