The PENNSYLVANIA Schools.

The annual report of State Superinten-
dent Waller for 1892 has just been pub
lished. 1t is volume of over 400 pages.
From it we learn that the number Of pupils
in the public schools Of the State during
the past year was 97I, ,52S, which Is an IN
crease of S,022 over the number attending
during the preceding year. The number
of schools was %, ,436, an increase of 522.
The expenditures required to keep the
schools open during the year amount to
Sl4. 800, l40 46, which is an increase OF
$50, 43l As over 1891. The estimated value
of the school property has reached the
enormous sum Of $40. 2i2, 664, which is an
increase of nearly $1,000, 900. The above
takes no account of the city OF PhlIadel-
phia, where lis. 26S pupils were taught
last year, and 42S schools were maintained
at a cost of 50, ,222, So6.56-
There are at the present time 2,39e
school districts in the State and 70, 43o
schools. The number of teachers is ., 339.
The female teachers still outnumber the
males in the ratio of of more than two TO
one. there being S,162 of the latter to H.
III of the former. When it comes to the
matter of salaries, however, the males lead,
their average pay being $42. ID per month,
while the females receive only S31. Al.
In addition to the 81, 900, 600 appropria-
ted by the State in 1892, Sl,6l9,5OO addl-
tional was was given to the State Normal
Schools. The State appropriation havlng
been raised from 81, 600, 900 to $1,000, 600,
the next report will show largely increased
expenditures, of course.

Important County Offices.

County Commissioners are to be elected
this year in the several counties of the
Commonwealth. They are not as valuable
offices to those who hold them as some of
the other county places are. but there are
no county offices of so much real concern
to the people themselves as the Commis-
sioners. In the midst Of heated contests
for local places to which considerable
emoluments are attached, these facts are
quite liable to be overlooked.
Nothing could be more unfortunate to
any county than the election of incompe-
tent or venal Commissioners, for it is IN
their power to do the widest injury and
wrong to the taxpayers. The Commis-
sioners practically constitute the executive
administration of the county, lay the taxes,
have charge of the public works, and the
affairs of the county are altogether within
their control. Their duties are 80 consider
adle and the just and efficient performance
Of them so important to the people, that
tits not merely good character that is
needed, but good business ability as well,
for it is essentially business Office. In nc
county can the people have an intelligent
knowledge of the duties of Commissioner
without being impressed with their i'm
portance.
Some Of the counties of the State are to
day substantially free from debt as the
result of q wise discrimination in the
nhrsa af nrT1 m n n
years, while others are suffering financia
burdens as the result of allowing those
responsible offices to fall into the hands O
those who were either corrupt or ineff
cient. The last year has brought Il
light several instances of wrongdoing o
Commissioners whose acts affected th,
whole people, as in the case of the Schuyl
kill County Court House. Any othe
county officer may be incompetent O
negligent or dishonest without causing th,
people any such losses as may be brough
about by the Commissioners when thel
are men not for their places.
AS candidates for Commissioner will b.
nominated at conventions soon to be hel,
in many of the counties, in some within
few weeks, it is none too early for tn
people of both parties to give their atten
ton to the matter. The selection 0f com
petent men is Of business Importance int
which partisan politics enters very little
The present Constitution sought to lift tn
Office out of partisanship as much as poss
BILE by providing majority representatio
and this spirit can be carried out by tn
people themselves in broader degree t
their own advantage.
Whatever they do with regard to an
other county Office, they will make mi
take more serious to themselves than any
one else if they fail to appreciate the N
cessity of wise action in the nomination
Commissioners. The canvass for thei
nominations does not usually attract II
attention that is given contest for Sheri
or Treasurer or Prothonotsfy, but in ever
interior county OF the State they are mo-
important.-Philadelphia Press

the Merchantile Appraiser system passed

Gov. Pattison signed the Miller and

the Oddfellows, United Workmen, Royal

Mr.. Miller is himself a member ofs num-

THE late elections in Kansas were a

THE late elections in Kansas were a
singing rebuke for the Populists and their
proceedings in the recent session of the
Legislature. The returns prove that the
people preceive very plainly the harm and
disgrace brought upon the State by the
revolutionary acts at Topeka and that they
took the earliest opportunity for expressing
their dissent. The overturn is too general
too admit Of any other conclusion. If a
city here and there had changed its poll
tics it might be ascribed to local causes.
But throughout the whole State the most
sweeping Republican victories are record
ed and they can only indicate marked
and general change in public senti ment.

The Big Fair.

4 Wellsboro man who Is in Chicago
writes home advising people not to be in a
hurry about going to see the exposition,
for though it will open on May lst, it viii
be fully month after that before every
thing will be finished.
The price of admission to the Fair will
be fifty cents, but there will he a number
of side shows in Midway Plaisance which
are private enterprises, and to which an
admission fee will be charged if you want
to see them.
Free drinking fountains, almost without
number, are stationed throughout the ex-
position grounds, and supplied with filter
ed or sterilized (boiled) water. So visitors
can, II they choose. drink all the water in
Lake Michigan, from which the entire city
supply is obtained. Hygeis water will be
on sale at one cent glass, and people can
drink that il they prefer. The free water,
however, is better than is usually to be had
in large cities.
Free toilet rooms and closets to the num-
ber of nearly fifteen hundred will be pro-
vided, some in the buildings and Others
about the grounds. In addition to these
there Will be also a large number of toilet
lbplAIs dlh AlbLltSs ~ W lllCA4 !lsAluIs
be admitted upon payment of a small fee.
The authorities of the fair guarantee, how
ever, that the free toilet rooms will be first
class and properly kept.
1t is difficult to understand how imposi-
| ton or extortion can prevail within the
Fair grounds Take for example, the cost
| of eating at the restaurants. Although
the eating house and lunch counter
pr vileges have been sold to contractors,
| the scale of charges for eatables must be
approved by the Exposition authorities.
1t is therefore by no means probable that
| the cost of eating within the grounds will
be greater than in any good restaurant out
| side. Large numbers of tables viii be pro-
| vided by the Bureau Of Public Comfort for
the use of such as bring their lunch with
them. There will also be abundant pro-
vision for seating people without charge.
These privileges, together with numer-
Gus free waiting rooms, cheap lunch count
| ers, checking rooms, etc, will enable peo-
| pie in comfortable circumstances to visit
the Fair without distressing expense, and
without other annoyances than are neces-
sarily incident to large crowds. To quote
the Chicago Tribune Of yesterday: Fifty
| cents-no more, no less-will entitle the
| visitor to see every exhibit in Jackson
| Park, and if he brings luncheon with him.
| he may get through without any addition
al expense"

State Political Gossip.

A Philadelphia correspondent says: Al,
though on the surface here politics -appeal
to be very quiet, the subject has in fact fol
some time past been carefully considered
and keenly discussed. The closest obser
yers realize that either or both the State
elections to be held this year and next may
be decided by the result in Philadelphia
and that the result is by no means assured
The issuing Of the call for the Republican
State Convention to meet Gt Harrisburg
August 80, has considerably increased The
interes. in the probable action.
1t is the general impression here that an
understanding b as been arrived at that the
Republican nomination for Supreme Judge
this year shall 90 to Philadelphia, while
Western Pennsylvania shall have the State
Treasurer. For the former position Judge
D. Newlin Fell is the only Philadelphia
named. his announced competitors being
Judpe John Stewart, of fChambersburg, and
Judge Robert ". Archibald. of Scranton.
If the alleged Philadelphia and Western
1
| the last two named gentlemen will, ol
course, not stand much chance, and the
same NAV be said of ex-senator A. ID. Har-
| Ian of Chester county, who for some time
nast has been booming himself for the
State Treasurership. The country candi-
dates for Judgeship are banking on the
hope that the alleged arrangement referred
| to may rot exist, or may fail of success.
Mr.. Harlap's friends, too, may seek to re-
verse the supposed selections by inducing
| Judge John j. Henderson or some Other
western man to combine with him. The
| Philadelphia leaders are apprehensiye that
the Country Legislative Combine may have
| its duplicate in the coming convention,
| and therefore they are very solicitous tc
avoid taking any action which might be an
excuse for inducing such a result.
| Speaker Thompson's name has, until re-
/ Gently, been the only one mentioned from
Western Pennsylvania for the Treasurer
| ship. The announcement OF the candidacy
| of b. J. HAYWOOD, vf Mercer county, with
in the past few days has, however, beer
received as an indication that some assur
ances have been given that Mr.. Thompson
will not seek the position. Besides, Mr.
THOMPSON is from Warren county and it il
said that Frank Willing Leech has started
in To work for the nomination OF Charles
W. Stone, also of Warren, for the Govern
orship, with the understanding that Leecl
is to be Secretary of the Commonwealth il
case of success. The story further goe
that Leech thinks he has 80 built himsel
up among the politicians of the State tha
he can stand on his own strength and in

the next Republican State Convention to
meet in Harrisburg on August 30th. This
was done after all the members OF the
State Committee had been consulted and
their answers sent by mail. The date OF

while Harrisburg was the choice of all but

A Rising Physician.

The Mars Correspondent of the Yale.
NetS, writes as follows:
DIR. J. G. Barr of this place, at medica
meeting held in Butler short time ago
delivered very fine address. 1t was log
ical, and elegant in diction. The Doctor Ii
a sound reasoner, and a fluent speaker
hence he presented some very nice ant
practical points that would be of specla
benefit to the medical fraternity. All who
heard the address were pleased as ht
spoke to edification. The doctor in his et
fort scattered rays of light upon some o.
the finer points on surgery, and the prac,
tice Of medicine, for he is certainly skilled
in the art, and has a bright future before
him. The Doctor is young man but wei
up in his profession, wise in deliberation
and prudent in execution. In his address
he made mention of the influence OF the
ministry in the sick chamber as being
help to the physician. This is certainly
point we'll taken. His address was mas,
ter piece in thought and construction
sparkling with gems of rhetoric, and i'm,
parting lessons OF wholesome truths. With
his present experience, and the years thai
are before him he will no doubt achieve
grand things in his profession. Honor tc
