Education and the Fair.

Speaking of one feature of the Column
bian exhibition, a Boston paper says that
there are no institutions in which patri-
otto Americans take keener pride than
the schools, academies and colleges. The
great common school system is our coun-
try's unique glory. To make display
of American products and progress
which ignored the schools would be short
sighted and absurd. At the express and
repeated invitation of the directors of the
Worlds fair the educational authorities
in the several states, aided by appropria-
tons, set to work to prepare suitable ex-
hibits of the work of the schools and col
leges. Large sums of money have al
ready been expended, with promise Of
the most satisfactory results, and the ex-
hibition space asked for is likely to be
too small rather than too large.

The Richest Country.

M. G. de Varigny in an article in The
Revue DIES Deux Mondes placed the for
tunes of 5000, 900 and over in the United
States at 100 and in the world 700. The
number of such fortunes in America is
now perhaps nearer 200, and they are
probably about quarter of those in the
world. The United States is in proper
ton to population by far the richest o.
the worlds greater countries, though
the per capita wealth of the Australian
colonies is greater, reaching in Victoria
nearly twice the ordinary estimate fol

No sunday Papers in Pennsylvania.

PHILADELPHIA, January 3.-The su-
preme court today handed down decis,
ion confirming the legality OF the old
blue law of 1894 in relation TO Rnphea-
ton of Sunday newspapers, Thomas
Matthews, publisher OF the Plttspurs
Sunday leader, was convicted OF publish
ing and issuing paper sunday pecem'
prohibits the following of worldly pur-
snits on the Sabbath save those of abso-
lutte necessity for wants of the commu-
nitv. The court says the trainers of the
act of 1894 could not foresee the growth
Of newspapers or they would possibly
have exempted them from the provis-
ions Of the act. The court commends
the act. but says the liberal enforcement
of its provisions may lead to its repeal.

consul general. Colonel Frey returned
home about three years ago and has since
been active in politics. He has been
member of the Swiss national congress
at various times, and from 1875 to 1876 he
was president of the senate. He looks
like soldier, as he is. Colonel Frey has
just passed his fifty-fourth year.
President Elect Schenk. who bears the
academic title of s'doctcr," began active
life as clergyman, but quit the church
to enter politics. He is now nearly sew
enty years of age and has been proml-
nent since 1850. From 1857 to 1868 he
was a member of the federal council
from the canton Of Berne, and in 1869 he
became vice president Between 1865
and 1880 he was five times president of
the Swiss confederation. He became
minister of the interior in 1891 and was
vice president during 1899. He is tall,
broad shouldered, we'll made man of ex-
cellent education, and he has high rep
utation throughout Switzerland as pub
lie speaker. His home is at Berne, where
be is now living with his second wife.
The president and vice president are
really only first and second presiding
officers of the national cabinet, a body
which, with these two officers, numbers
seven. They are chosen late in Decen-
Der of each year by the two houses OF
congress and take Office on the LIST OF
January to serve for one year. The 9TH
or members of the bundesrath serve
three years. The houses of congress are
the senate, of forty-four members, and
the house of representatives, of 147 mem
bers. The Swiss call the two houses han
denrath, or state council, and national
rath. or national council, and the two to-
gether are called bundes-versamml
or federal assembly.
The president of the Swiss confedera-
ton has neither great power nor much
patronage. He must sign all bills passed,
but he cannot veto measure. Few ap-
pointments are in his hands, and his
salary is under $1,000 year. That OF
the vice president, as of the other mem
bers of the bundesrath, is about 81, 400
year. The president may not serve for
two consecutive terms. He may not In
terfere with the affairs of the individual
cantons, each of which has its own gov
ernor and legislature, like the states OF
the American Union. There is a gov
eminent building at Berne for the meet
ings of the two legislative houses, but
no residence is provided for the presi,
dent. So simple are all the federal
affairs of Switzerland that there is
scarcely any formality when the presi-
dent assumes Office He merely takes
the oath at the meeting of the seven
ministers, and there is no excitement
and little interest at the advent of new
administration.
