many, was greatly annoyed by the conduct
of some young men, who swore at the
weather, smoked and called impatiently
for beer.
Tobacco and alcohol are demoniacal
powers" said Dollinger, half in Jest and
half in earnest. Smokers are barbarians.
The eternal smoking of pipes and cigars by
our forefathers doubtless helped to bring
about the short sight which has now be-

A PRIZE BANNER
New Plan to Stimulate Interest in
the Common Schools

In order to stimulate good school work
in the county, Superintendent j, M. Hit
will offer a prize banner to the school
making the best record for each succeed
ing half year of his term of office. The
banner will be handsome one, OF silk,
suitably mounted for display in a school
room or at public school exercise. The
school winning II will be entitled to keep
II until IL is won away by some other
school making better record. During
the time that any school holds this prize,
IL will be known as " the Banner School
OF Whatcom County" The banner will
be awarded to the school making the best
record on the following six points:
l. PunctualitY. 2. Attendance. 3. Or
der. 4. Scholarship. B.. Department. g..
Reputation.
The first point has reference entirely to
the smallest possible number of tardi-
ness marks.
The second point refers to regularity
and the highest percentage of attendance
possible upon the number Of pupils be-
longing to the school.
The third point refers 10 quietness. sys-

Neatness, not only OF person, will be con
sidered, but also neatneSs Of text books.

The fifth point refers not alone TO obedi-

room and on the play grounds. but also on
the road to and from school, and will in

ates, courtesy to strangers. etc. lnfOrma-
tion on this point will be partly gathered
from my impressions while visiting the
school and partly from the reports to me
of school officers.
The sixth point will be determined by
the estimation in which the school is held
by the patrons of the district, and will be
determined largely by interviews that /
have with them on the occasion OF my
visits.
The reasons for combining this offer to
the country schools are obvious. City and
village schools generally find sufficient
other incentives to keep their standards
high, and there could hardly be an equal
competition II they entered the lace.

make high record. Whether the banner
is won or not, the effort cannot fail to
help the tone Of each school striving for 1t.

for the school term held during the half

award will be for the half year ending

The Colorado s statesmen who propose to

ing from the Union is not so easy as it

SCHOOL DISTRICTS.

An effort is now being made to divide
San Francisco into school districts. AS
the rule has been to let school DIT ncipals
drum up pupils from all parts OF the city
with view to the increase of classes and
a corresponding increase of salary. the
application of the district system will
cause the sundering of many ties. 1t will
also happen in many cases that the near

which pupil lives. 1t will. of course.
seem a hardship for pupil to go a longer
distance 10 school which is OF his or her
first choice. But if parents and children
will reason bit they will see that the
principle of the district system is as neces-
sary in the government of schools as IN
other matters. There are some iDequali-
ties in choos both as to buildings and as
TO instruction. One district will have a
newer building than another, and possibly
may combine the advantages of better
building and more capable teachers. But
it will not do to let children from all parts
of the city crowd into favored district to
the exclusion Of pupils who live in that
district. The district plan will incte resi-
dents and property-holders in each dis
trict to keep their school abreast with the
best. A citizens duty begins with his
home, then gees to his school district to
his legislative district, to the city in which
he resides, and so on. If his highest duty
is to his country. he best serves his coun-
try by promoting to the best of his ability
the Interests of the smaller divisions in
which his personal influence may be exer.
eiSed 10 the best effect.
Under the old plan principal of schools
have been allowed to recruit their ranks
from all quarters of the city. OF course,
there has been limit to the practical
operation of this privilege. but we believe
none in lay. An ambitious principal who
has the good fortune to be assigned to a
superior building might reach out and
draw pupils from d stance. thus adding
TO the number of classes in mis- own school
at the expense Of an equally competent but
less fortunate principal in some not faI
distant locality. The rule which adds to
principals salary as classes are filled up
and new classes added might perhaps be
revised with advantage to the department.
The principal of large grammar school
who has disciplined pupils under bis
charge may not be more heavily taxed
than the principal of primary with half
the number of classes.

SILVER IN INDIA.

Mr.. Malcolm Mccall, a merchant of
Calcutta. India, is quoted as saying tina
he thought the present silver crisis was
concocted by partisans of gold. Mr.. Nc
Call says:
free private coinage OF silver but India will buy
silver and coin II. practically as the United
states did under the Bland act. Heretofore at
the Government minis at Bombay and Calcutta
individuals have had their silver converted into
rupees at the rate of $50 grains standard, a
little over 165 grains tine. This is stopped.
Prices in India for fifty years have not varied
appreciably in rupees. The abundance Of SILVER
has given slight Use to pisces. India owes
England a large debt. named In pounds sterling
gold, and with interest payable In gold. his
interest amounts to SSOO0O,00O per annum.
Every week England sells counci bills. These
are drafts Oh The lnd u treasury for so many
rupees. Now, the treasury gets these rupees
by taxation and then pays them out in interest
TO the stepmother country.
The action of the English Government in
respect to silver in India is in some points
like the action OF the American Govern
ment in coming silver under the Bland act,
but is not identical. The American Govern
ment took silver at its commercial valua-
tion In limited quantities and coined it at
its old ratio to gold. The English fix the
gold price of rupees at Is Id, about 80 y
cents Of American money. and on a ratio #
to 21a of gold to silver Gold, however,
is not made legal tender. To do so would
make the balances of trade due to India,
which have been paid in silver, payable in
gold. England. therefore, as Mr.. Mccall
says cunningly reserves the right to pay
balances in silver but exacts payments
from India on account of the public debt
in gold. England buysiwheat Of India for
silver. which wheat completes in the Eng
lish market with American wheat. 1t fol

wheat and cotton must fall Mr.. Mccall
concludes:
BY anti-slver legislation you have dIscour-
increasing debts aud forcing down prices. You
have 1t in your power, with your mines, TO make
the Amr rican silver dollar the money unit aud
the value standard Of the world, just as was the
piece OF eight when Spain controlled the mines
of the western continent.
The trouble about this policy is that as
England has profited by the depreciation
of silver and the consequent appreciation
of gold, American bankers and mon, v
lenders propose to reap little profit. The
question is not what the United States
could do, but what it wants to do.

QUITE A ROW.

The tempest in the English House of
Commons on Tuesday seriously perturbed
the serenity of that august chamber. 1t
is rule Of the House that ungentlemarly
or, as it is termed, parliamentary lar
guage shall not be applied by one mem Der
to another. This rule was grossly VIC
lated by Conservative member named
Brodrick. The question was on the num-
ber of Irish members who shall be allowed at
Westminster when Ireland has home rule.
Mr.. Brodrck chose to prefer as small a
number as possible, on the ground that the
Irish are both impecunious and garru-
lous." This language was clearly an ill.,
suit, and was so regarded Ivy the Irish
members. The Speaker not being ia the
chair, the chairman OF committees, Mr..
Mellon, should have reprimanded or
warned Mr.. Brodrick and exacted an
apology. The chairman let the occasion
of censure pass, and having made blum
der persisted in it.
Mr.. Sexton, eloquent, fiery and gifted,
resented the insult in the name of his
felow-members, and gave the opinion that
the language was grossly impairment and
ought not to be tolerated in the House.
of Mr.. Sections language. AS a rule a
member does comply with such request.
but Mr.. Sexton insisted that Mr.. Brod-
rick should withdraw first Mr. Brod-
rick declined, and had the Endorsement
Of no less person than Mr.. Balfour. the
leader of the opposition. AS Mr.. Sexton
would not yield the chairman ordered him
to withdraw. This was another blunder.
The usual course for the chairman Is to
declare member guilty of disobeying the
orders of the chair. then to suspend the pro-
ceedings and report the circumstance 10 the
Speaker, who takes the opinion of the
House on the matter before ordering a
member to withdraw. However, Mr. Mel
Ion took all upon his own shoulders. MIR.
Sexton protested, and the whole of the
Irish members protested against the vio-
lation Of the ordinary practice, but finally.
in Difference to MIR. Gladstone. the member
for North Kerry left the House, saying
that his defense was in the hands of the
Premier. 1t was evidently a nice row

RANCHERS PROTEST.
PajarO Valley Fruit. Growers Petition
for a Better Service.

The fruit-growers OF the Pajaro Valley
are in revolt against the tactics of the
Southern Pacific Company. Their produce,
consisting mostly Of berries of various
kinds, has not had quick dispatch from
Watsonvile and in consequence the fruit
has often sold for so cents TO 81 a chest
less than the ruling rate.
In the early morning the fruit market
in this city is frequented by the regular
buyers when top prices rule, but later in
he day the fruit has to be sold for what it
will bring. The Watsonvile shippers
have been figuring in the latter category
much TO their discomfort.
Yesterday their Indignation found vent

ACCEPTED A COMPROMISE.
Young MacDonald's Former Guardian
Is Let Off Easily.

Judge Coffey made an order yesterday
granting the petition Of Henry MacDon-
aid, a minor, by his guardian. Martin j.
Burke. for permission to accept com pro-
mise of moneys collected on his behalf.
Young Macdonald is son of C. E. S.
Macdonald. and the suit arises from the
accounts submitted by P. j. Corbett, his
former guardian. The court decided in
December 1892. that Corbett held a sum
of 5000 in hand to pay over to the credit
ofyoung MacDonald's estate. Corbett ap-
pealed from this decision to the Supreme
Court.
Attorneys J. D. Sullivan, w. II. L..
Barnes and H. /. Kowalsky all put in
large claims for attorneys fees in the case,
and the end of it was that the court or
dered a sum of $500 to be paid to Sullivan,
from, which he was to pay Barnes and
Kowalsky and make good the money
wanted from Corbett. Sullivan and Ko-
walsky were dissatisfied with this arrange
ment and appealed to the Supreme Court.
Then Corbett came forward with an
offer to pay $3.50 in full satisfaction OF the
demands made upon him. and as it was
decided that it would be beat to accept
this compromise an order to that effect
was made.
