| THE pluck energy, liberality
and real western grit that Chicago
has displayed in collecting the
grand aggregation of attractions
that constitute the Worlds fair
entitle her to the admiration of
this hemisphere, and that fair
should be patrOnized by every one
who can possibly attend. This is
due Chicago, but it is none the less
true that the fair is the best worth
visiting of any similar exposition
that was ever opened. 1t is a
school Of the most advanced kind
and will repay the careful visito
as years of ordinary travel could not
possibly do. Every dollar spent in
examining that vast treasure
house of science, art, nature
andnatiOns will be well invested.

Those who are figuring on re-
peal of the tax on state banks may
find themselves in the wrong
column when the foOtings are
made. There is no indication that
the country is ready to return to
that exploded and rotten system
If there are any state banks of
issue their issue should be
guaranteed redemption by the
states in which they are located.
The best way to accomplish that
would be to let the whole matter
rest just where it is, and leave the
whole question: of the issue and
coinage of money to the general
government. This was the origi-
nal idea. There is no necessity in
the world for any state banks, and
the taxation Of them is wise
measure.

TIE Galveston News takes right
eOus exception to the action of the
council of that city in excluding
from city employment those who
have not been residents of the city
for a specified term, and pitches
into the narrOWnrSS of the policy,
which it CharaCteriZCs as of a piece
with that of the Dallas school
board in excluding from the teach
erS' desk all married women. There
is nothing to be said in favor of
either restriction. They are both
evidences Of Il very narrow minded
view Of city and educational af-
fairs, and will find few advocates
in this generation. That the aim
of school boards is to secure the
best teachers, without regard to
sex or matrimonial conditions,
should be so we'll established as to
be beyond controversy, and that
fact established, there would be no
inquest into the connubial rela-
tiOns of the teacher. If the schools
are to be asylums for unmarried
females that they may secure a
living from their employment by
the public, then that puts a differ
ent face on the matter and changes
conditions. This may be the case
i'll Dallas, but it is not so in this
and other well regulated munich
palities.

CLEVELAND is holding the scales

favOrably considered by the people

that empty into the big river as
far north as the Gate City, there
would be a more serious condition
in the lower Mississippi than has
yet been experienced. 1t is time

was accomplished in the way of
preventing this annual overflow
with its accompanying destruct-
ion Of life and values.
