On the fitness Of those elected
trustees depends the prosperity of
our schools. Many good citizens
oppose the change from courcil to
trustee management, fearing that
instead of eliminating politics by
the change, the schools would be-
come submerged in biennial con.
tests for factional supremacy. This
is the impending danger, and it can
be averted only by the alive
element in the community refusing
to support or countenance any one
Offering for the position Of trustee
who cannot dignity the eff le with
a wise and conservative course.
The welfare Of the schools is para.
mount to the success or the discom.
future Of ally person or faction.

Hubert Burgess, a contributor to the Ala

of his observations in the Sierras: As we

Yes, about POO yards from here"
How long ago did you see it?'

reading his newspaper when an old man who

The above conversation says the Chicago

. ON the description Of the truant husband and
the woman with whom he is said to have left

When they got through Mr.. Burton had $50

visited the fortune teller,
The fortune teller asked his customer to
urop MN hut hint or two concerning her
trouble, and then the Seance was inaugurated.
Commanding Mrs. Reed to kneel with her face
toward the rising sun, he hurried out to
closet and donned his professional raiment,
which consisted Of long cloak and hood.
The front and back of the skirt was frescoed
with lot of white and red characters which

The President is quoted os saying that
ho does aat look for the prompt repeal of
the ivcr.purchaso aet Re expects the
fight over the act will bo long one.
Those who are talking about the repeal
Of the act being accomplished iu thirty
days are likely 20 be- disappointed. Scna-
tor Hin is understood 90 entertain the
opinion that congress viii be in continu-
Gus session q year or moro from the date
of its meeting on Aug Z.
1t is certain that the extreme sjlvcrites
are preparing 10 use an the means at
their command 10 prevent the repeal Of
the silver purchase act, except upon
terms satisfactory TO those interested in
silver Among them are some able debat-
ers and experienced parliamentarians
They know how to delay legislative ac-
ton and they will use their knowledge to
accomplish this object.
1t is not thought that there viii be
much difficulty in getting bill repeating
the act through the House, because
vote can be taken in that body when the
majority is ready for it. 1t is different in
the Senate. No provision for shutting off
debate exists in that body, and in the
Senate the silverites are strong in num-
bers and talent
The financial distress may make the
silverites hesitate to carry their opposi-
tion to the repeal of the silver-purchase
act to extreme lengths, but it does not
now look as if it would. They have only
one object in view, and that is to force
the free coinage of silver upon the coun-
try. They admit that the silver-purchase
actmay have assisted in bringing about the
existing financial distress, but they will
not consent TO the repeal of that act I'M
less such a concession to silver is granted
as they want That concession is of
course the free coinage of silver at the
ratio of l6 to l. 1t will not be made,
because it would bring about a worse con
dition of affairs than now exists.
Some concession to silver may be made,
but whatever the concession is, care will
be taken that silver currency shall circu-
late on parity with gold currency. The
people will not have a debased currency.

The Irish Parliament.
From Morocco Bound. -

Then an Orangem1n from Derry and a mem
her from the south
Took their fists to move the closure upon
each other mouth;
And before the learned speaker could per
Suade the House to rise
All the ayes had broken noses, and the noes
had blackened eyes.
Then the opposition went for sticks the gov
eminent for stones,
And they argued out the question by the light
of broken bones:
For they fought with all the fury OF the noble
Irish Bull,
Till half the seats were empty and the men
beers all were full.
Oh. the hear, hear. hear
And the laughter coming afther,
Sure it nearly split the rather.
And it burst the chandelier,
Till the members were all kilt and the money
was all spint
And that was the finale of the Irish parlia-
mint.

The Philadelphia Record furnishes an
odd suggestion in connection with the
Artic expeditions of Prof. Nansen and
Lieut.. Peary. Suppose either. or both,
Of them should happen to arrive at the
pole, how would they ever manage to find
their way hack2 Would they not be
lost, from the very fact that there would
be no north, east or west from the place
at which they stood? Evidently every
direction would be south, hence a COM
pass would be Of no service. The New
York Tribune, however. offers consola-
ton to those who may be troubled by
this discovery by explaining that all that
would be necessary for Peary or Nansen
to do under such possible and perplexing
circumstances would be to step away
from the pole for two or three yards,
when they would regain the lost three
points
