Only one student actually made tho

every sign of Il refinement that made
her presence and her occupation de-

One of the students threw ont an in
quiring hint to the school official
whose duty it is to choose and negoti-
ate with models. The official was as
dumb as an oyster. Whether or not he
knew anything of the mysterious
model could not be determined. Such
inquiries would not be considered
good form" in any case.
And so the vcilcd unknown stepped
upon the dais every evening for week.
1t was on Saturday that one of the
quictest students in the,large class said
to his chun: 81 am going to find out

The chum did not laugh. He only
looked sadly ut his friend and said:
"Why, you haven't even seen her face -

news that she had gone to medical

how he found out, but week later-a

One day he was made strangely uneasy
by the belief that she was watching

said to chum, "shc recognizes me as
the fellow who has seen her near the

concluded that he had been mistaken.

Its students are recruited from all

Let Them Alone.

The desire for annexation to the
United States expressed by the
white rey0lutiOnists OF the Hawai-
ian Islands, seems to us to be i'll
considered and hasty.
The whole population Of these
islands is hut little more than Co.,
900, OF whom not more than one
fourth are white, the remaining
three-fOurths being the immediate
descendants of the POlynesian can
nibals, the most degraded type of
humanity.
The white population is made up
81 adyenturers and fpgitives from
justice from this and all other civ
ilized countries, which as q whole
would be a very undesirable ele-
ment in our citizenship.
If these islands are annexed to
our government, it will be expect
ed by the white insurrectionists
that the power Of the government
shall be used to make their revolt
q success and this means the prac-
ticnl enslavement Of the native
population, an end wholly at vari-

Raum- Made Pension Law,

New York world.
A fresh discovery has been made
of fraud upon the Treasury and
maI-adminstratiOn in the Pension
| Burean.
The law allows pensions for dis
abilities which render their subjects
wholly or in a considerable degree
incapable of earning II Livelihood
by manual labor. For certain
Specific disabilities" such as the
loss of a hand or foot, there is II fix
ed rate of allowance. For less
specific but equally positive disabil-
ity, such as chronic Rheumatism
or the like, contracted il service,
the allowance is determined by the
rating given to the disability, as
total, or one-half or One-quarter'
etc, of total.
Commissioner RAUM has invent
ted, or permitted some one else to
invent for his acceptance, still an
other kind of disability called
Cumulative" Without any au-
thority of law he has recognized
this kind of disability and granted
pensions for it at the rate Of $6
month, fixed upon by himself.
cumulative" disability is disa-
bility made up of II number of ach-
es and pains-including, doubtless,
"that.t tired feeling"-none of which
would entitle their victim to pen
sion. By Jumping these together,
perhaps throwing in disposition
to vote the Republican ticket and
to employ the right pension attor-
ney, RAUM has considered that
pension cases are made out, and
under this wholly unauthorized
ruling he has been literally adding
to the pension lists.
Assistant Secretary Bussey, Of the
Interior Department, has written
to RAUM ordering the maIpractices
stopped, and now Judge WHEELER,
Chairman of the committee which
is investinqting the Pension Office,
is trying to find out how many
cases of this kind have been allow
ed, and how much of Governments
money is being paid out annually
upon these illegal and fraudulent
claims.

TO REDUCE PENSIONS.
Important Changes Proposed in the
INV IN n HonCn Commi+too

Important Changes Proposed in the
Law by a House Committee.
Washington, Jan 26.-The demo-
cratic members of the house sub
committee on appropriations have
adopted amendments changing
the pension law of 1890. The fol-
lowing are the principal changes
lnade:
"That no widow shall receive IL
pension under the act of 1890 un-
less married to the soldier prior to
1870; that no person shall receive
pension under the act of 1890 unless
disabled in the service from man
ual labor and in receipt of an in
come of less than 5000 II year, and
that no nonresident of the United
States shall receive u pension un-
less he was actully disabled in the
service"
The billas framed by the MAORI
ty of the subcommittee also does
away.,e,-with pension agencies
throughout the country and pro-
vides for payment of pensions by
checks directly from the treasury
department., abolishes examina-
tion of applicants by surgeons and
provides for the appointment of $50
special examiners to hereafter
make examinations.

Good Roads.

The property road tax collected
in this county last year amounted
to a little more than $4,000 and it il
safe to say that the poll tax amour
ted to $4,000 more, total of $l5,-
600 which is expended, nOminally,
for the improvement of our public
roads.
AS last year was about an aver
age, we have in the last ten years
dumped $15O,000 into the Hooking
County mud holes, and the roads
are today no better than they were
ten years ago.
What is true of this county is
true in larger degree of every
county in the State, and shows that
the annual waste of money upon
the public roads of the State is in
excess of $2,200,0OO.
The waste is the direct result of
the present supervisor system of
repairing roads, by means Of which
the business is often put into the
hands of persons who are wholly
incompetent.
The system is erroneous from
foundation to turret, and should be
changed at once of Il plan, looking
to the scientific and practical mat
ters of proper drainage add perma-
nent Improvement.
There can be no permanent i'm
proyement without thorough drain
age, and the use of the best mate
rials obtainable for wearing sur.
face.
In our opinion county or town
ship supervision would be much
better than the present small dis
trict plan, and of the two we would
favor county supervision as likely
to give the best results.
The roads would all have to be
surveyed to give data for a system
of thorough drainage, which when
established should be recognized in
all future improvements, and
all work should be outlined by the
supervisor, let on contract to the
lowest responsible bidder, and not
paid for until completed in accord
ance with contract.
If possible all work should be
completed byeuly 10, or August /,
80 that it Il light become thorough
ly solid before the fall rains.
Unless some plan Of this kind is
adopted we will during the next
decade dump twenty-five mill
lions of dollars into the mud
holes of the State without accom-
pllsbing any permanent good.

A Convert To BimetalIism.

A Convert To BimetAllism.
| Cleveland Plain Dealar.
One Of the prominent members
Of the British parliament, who has
held seat in it continuously for
seventeen years, is Rt. Hon. Leon
ard II. Courtney, Liberal-Unionist
member for the Bodmin division of
Cornwall, Mr.. Courtney has had a
long training in economical and
financial politics.
From the beginning of his career
Mr. Courtney has been strong
monometallist, teaching the princi-
pie of II single gold standard when
university professor, maintaining
it as member of parliament and
treasury official, and acting upon
it as bank director. 1t is not to be
wondered at, therefore, that his
speech last Thursday evening, as
the principal guest of the City of
London Liberal club, created Il
sensation among the orthodox
merchants and bankers, who
formed the greater part of his hear
ers. To their surprise, he confessed
that his views IN the money quest
ion had been modified by recen in
vestigations and study. He was
no longer the strong mOnometallist
they had hitherto known him. He
said that since he had served on
the commission appointed to re-
port on the question of bimetallism
he had futher considered the sub
ject, and had arrived at the con-
clusion that gold had been getting
dearer in the last twenty years.
lie did not wish to say whether or
not it was possible to retrace the
steps taken, to modify the exper-
fences gained, or to prevent the
prices from going down, but he
thought that he would not be bear
ing true and faithful testimony if
he did not confess that there was
something in the assertion that az
ricultural prices had fallen through
the growing dearness of gold.
The significance of this admiss-
ion can hardly be overstimated.
1t is an evidence that it is not
merely the agricultural class,
whose recent declaration in favor
of the resumption of silver coinage
for the salvation of the farming in
terest was sneered at aS "BOeOtian
ignorance" and the conservative
politicians intent only on getting
Il new cry for the next political
battle, who have taken part in the
revolt against mOnOmetallism, but
the thinking statesmen, the politi-
cal econ omists trained in the
schools Of the gold standard, the
tinanciers whose interests are sup.
posed TO lie in the maintenance of
the 81 ngle standard are compelled
by the logic of events to change
their views and to admit that
prices have fallen and industries
are depressed through the growing
dearness of gold.
Light is breaking in England.
1t will soon be reflected upon the
American cities on the Atlantic
slope that look eastward across
the ocean instead Of towards the
plains and mountains of the west
for their financial guidance and in
spiration.
