ment. Having made reputation Tor pun
gent satire she has passed into yituperative
abuse. She could have chosen no more in
vulnerable subject for attack than William
L. Gladstone. 1t may almost be said that
whatever there is OF weakness in his poltl-
cal career arises from the keenness OF his
sense of justice. There is nothing In the
gift of mortals that would induce him to be
the monster Gail Hamilton declares him to
be-. Her talk about "binding the feeble
hands of a woman" is unmitgated bosh.
Justice has nothing to do with the gender
of hands. They may be feeble or strong as
the case may be without in the least affect
ing the question of innocence or guilt.
There has been too much theatrical clap
trap introduced into the Maybrick case to
please sensible people on either side OF the
ocean. Some time since Mrs. Maybrick, BE-
ing represented Oh the point of death, made
a declaration of her innocence. She had
submitted to all other solemn ceremonies
which are deemed preparation for the act
of dying, and it was supposed that her
death must take place within a few hours.
But, innocent or guilty. the unfortunate
woman is still living. The conclusion
naturally is that The supposed deathbed
declaration was a device to create sympathy.
OF course, 10 one biames Mrs. Maybriek
for desire to obtain freedom, but theatre
cal appeals to the sympathies are not proofs
of innocence

RECOUNTS.

The executive committee OF the Demo-
cratic party in this city are considering a
proposition to have rec0unts in the case of
Dundon, defeated candidate for Supervisor,
and Of Stafford. defeated candidate for
School Director. The committee is said to
have advanced the infantile argument that
if Scott has chance to overcome plurality
against him Of 1892 the Democrats named,
with much smaller pluralities against them,
have also chance. The difference between
the two cases is that there was no chance to
cheat in favor of Scott and much chance TO
cheat 10 favor of the Democratic candidates.
It is well known that in the recent elections
both parties combined against the Nom
Partisans. The candidate Of either of the
old parties who was most likely to beat the
Non-Partisan candidate for the same Office
got the benefit OF the false counting. Thus
it was that McDade ran. or seemed to run,
ahead Of his ticket. For the same reasons
votes were either cast OF counted for
0'Donuell that were given him mainly on
the belief tina. he had a better chance Of
ating Ebert than either Of the other
1ates for Mayor. So far as the Non
rs are concerned the more rec0unts
sr. They had no representatives. on
ion boards and consequently the
is natural that what cheating was
against them.

ELEcTING scHooLTEAcHERs.

The Board Of School Directors have ap-
pointed a committee of three TO cooperate
with Superintendent SWEET in deyising a
new method Of eleeting sehoolteaehers.
The present method is mainly Objectionable
n the fact that choice is often made by
favor rather tnan from merit. The twelve
directors take turns in naming a teacher
tie other eleven voting for the candidate as
a matter of course. The greatest trouble
that will be found in devising a new method
viii be the not unnatural disinelination Of
school directors TO surrender their right 70
name one or two teachers during their two
years term. There is probably not one Of
them who has not been waited upon since
tie result Of the election became known by
young l5Uy applicants whose future happi-
ness depended largely upon getting into the
School Department Unless the directors
have been very adroit they have made
promises which new method might de-
pTive them of the power to keep. Admit
ting that the directors want to devise the
best possible plan. there viii be difficulties
in the way. What is the best possible plan |?
What shall be the dominant test Of merit?
Shall it be scholarship? To this there
would be an almost universal negative. The
best scholars DO not In all cases make the
best teachers. A certain standard of schol-
arship IS enough. Acquaintance with the
higher mathematics would not be of much
service to teachers in the primary and
grammar grades. The Board of Examiners
fixes a standard Of qualification, leaving
the directors 10 select from a number, all
of whom are competent from an educa-
tionsl point of view. Competitive examin-
atoms would not probably secure ths best
possible teachers, but they would furnish a
better test than personal or political infiu-
ence. While il may not be in the province
of a newspaper TO determine the best
method. We may urge upon the committee
the wisdom Of a method that would reduce
political influence to lis lowest possible
point Above all things the use Of money
as a means Of influence should be made
practically impossible.

A GREAT SEA STORY.

The publication of "The Convict Ship."
a novel which has been written by ".
Clark Russell, will be begun in THE CALL

sought new field. The plot is one of sim

ship is thing of the past, but the romance,

A Living japanese Salamander.


Thomas S. Hill, the young naturalist OF
Knoxville. Iowa, who is spending the winter
at Passe ell Tont, Tex. has recently come
into possession OF a rare curiosity a
Japanese salamsnder, the gift Of friend
who is now doing the Orient. According TO
the descriptive tag which was pasted on the
tin box In which Mr.. Salamander made his
long trip. the creature was caught In one of
the freshIwater lakes of the japanese NJ oun-
tains Oh the 4th of July last. Unfortunately
the tag does not state whether the specimen
is young or an old example of the sala-
mander family. Na.uralists who have ex-
aniined it since Its arrival at the Passe, how
ever, declare that it is about years of age

Texas Commercial Traveller.


Those who have not travelled TO any ex-
tent, or who have never handled foreign
trade. evidently cannot appreciate the fact
that Mexico constitutes large part Of the
great North American continent. When we
bear in mind that Mexico joins Texas. New
Mexico and California, and is only separated
from Louisiana, Mississippi and Florida by
the Gulf. we must acknowledge that the re-
public ought to be commercially allied to the
United States. The truth is we are too in
different entirely in this matter. A few
manufacturers of this country work hard to
secure trade in Mexico, and most OF them
succeed. The majority. however. work in
all in this direction-that they accomplish
little or nothing. Mexico Is sister repub-
lie, she Is an important country CONNER
cialiy, and Is anxious to trade with US. All
she asks is fair treatment. When we show
her that we regard her as an equal We will

Big Tips Going Out.

The days of big TIPS are said 10 be num-
bered. and in consequence sadness reigns
among the walters in the prominent hotels
and fashionable restaurants OF the land.
A writer In the New York Commercial
Advertiser says: where rich man
would give tip OF 81 he now gives. on
ordinary occasions, a quarter of dollar.
And some even copdescend TO offer dime.
At first the walters used to show by the
cold stare on their faces that they did not
care for such a small tip. but now they take
it with q faint attempt at amiability.
Where party, however, has swell cham
payne lunch after the theater the waiter is
never tipped less than 90 cents. He is not
surprised TO receive 81 A certain million

Isle makes successful Secretary of the
Treasury, mo power on earth can keep him
out of the Presidency f.he wants it." 1t is
rather early to discuss Mr.. Carlisle's Presi-
dental prospects. but it would n lot be difficult
to discuss several causes, either of which
may keep Mr.. Carlisle out of the Presi-
Dental chair. 1t is very probable that IL
Mr.. Cleveland gives the country four years
of free trade the next President will be
& Republican. 1t is also probable that with
cut any fault on the part of the next Secre-
tary Of the Treasury the condition of the
treasury and of the country will be
such that the next Democratic national
convention will declare for incidental
protection" In which case the chances
of Mr.. Carlisle four years hence would be
exceedingly small.

A FOOLISH CHARGE.

Gail Hamilton far exceeds the limits Of
propriety in charging Mr.. Gladstone with
willfGl wrong In respect to the imprison-
ment of Mrs. Maybrick. While there may
be doubt of the imprisoned woman's
guilt IL is idle talk that the conviction was
not sustained by evidence. II Is even prob
able that in the u nited States, where de-
Tense is allowed greater latitude than In
England. and where the condition of sex
has greater influence with jury. Scotch
verdict might have been rendered in the
case. very likely coupled with the injunction
mot to do 1T again." AS writer Gall Ham,

An Ingenious Milknnan.

PhiladeIphia Record.
A well-known milk-dealer Of this city has
contriyed quite an ingenious plan to hurry
up things to enable him to start out on his
morning ride To serve his customers. IN
order to feed his horse while he lies COM
fortably in bed he has placed an alarm
clock in the stable, which he sets to 60 off
at o'clock in the morning. The clock does
not strike an alarm. but is fixed so that it
releases a pin and opens the door of little
box which contains sufficient feed for the
horse. The feed runs into the trough in
the stall and by the time the milkman is
ready to set ont the animal has had his
breakfast and is in good shape TO be hitched

Mise in respect to silver by
Bland act for the law now
Bland act provided for the
more than $4,000 600 nor less
~ worth Of silver each month
% 412h-grain silver dollars, and made
such silver dollars legal tender for every
>urpose. 1t has even been held that all
bonds, national or otherwise, for which
payment in gold was not specified, may be
paid in silver dollars. Under the present
law the coinage OF silver is not obligatory.
The treasury is required to purchase
100000 ounces at the current market price,
and Issue treasury notes against the silver
Sc purchased. As the silver is purchased at
its goiS -alhe, the notes issued against it
are payable in gold. The principal point
for consideration in this proposition is that
it revYes the only act Of Congress which
makes silver dollars a full legal tender.
The Bland act was in force from 1873 to
1890. when 1t was superseded by the Sher-
man act. which leaves the coinage of silver
optional wiW the Secretary OF the Treasury.
A revival of the Bland act would bring in
force again the law which declares silver
dollars a full legal tender. 1t is not prob
able that Mr. Cleveland will use his influ-
ence in favor Of such proposition.
