a reckless disregard of the laws Of

man. This temerity eEops out on every

man understand that cough is pre-

the ordinary cough, then the stubborn,
hacking couch and last consumption.
Let him heed the friendly warning and

Senator CockPeii on the Civil Service
Law.
To the Editor Of the Alexandria Gazette:
In your issue of the Doth editorial ref
erence is made to the fact that Mr..
Cockrell recently called attention in
the Senate to what every one familiar
with the Jaw is aware of, i. e., that, in
the classified service, the power of re-
moyal from Office is in no way affected
bv the civil service lazy. So far so good
for Mr.. Cockrell. When he ADDS, how
ever, as reported by you, shat the re
sponsibility for the retention of so many
republicans in federal offices is due, not
to the law, but to the fact that the DEM
ocratic administration prefers republi.
cans to men of its own political faith, "
he is very hazy, or. not to put too fine
a point upon it, he is very silly. Mr..
Cockreil must know, if he knows any
thing about the Jaw, that those who
fill the offices in the classified service
Ito which only he can possibly feter} are
always taken from the list ofeligibles, as
ascertained by competitive examiDa-
tions previously held. However much,
therefore, the appointing power may
desire to put out a republican for the
purpose of putting in any particular
democrat, he is powerless to do the
latter unless that particular democrat
is on the eligible list. This is how it
comes to pass that making vacancies
by arbitrary dismissal in this division
of the public service in order to put in
,bhoss Of a different political party is
virtually AN Known. L. M. B.

LETTER FROM RICHMOND.
of the Alexandria Gazett,


RICHMOND, Va. Jan. %, 1891.
Richmond people were somewhat
surprised at the deadlock in the con-
vention at Harrisonburg and also that
Mr.. Gordon did not develop more
strength. 1t was thought here that he
would be the second choice of MAORI
ty of the delegates and would be an
easy winner. Mr.. Gordon has done
much valuable work for the democratic
party and it is believed by many that
he would make splendid congressman
and worthy successor to Col. OFFER
rail-. 1t was also thought that Mr.. Mi
cajah Woods would be Mr.. Gordon's
strongest competitor, but this, too, mis-
carried and the prophets seem to have
been much il the same position rs was
the fellow when the candle went out
They don't say much now.
The Legislature having passed and
the Governor having signed the bill au-
thorizing the board of directors of the
penitentiary to lease or purchase farm
on which the short term convicts can
be worked, and at the same time re-
lieve the institution somewhat from its
crowded condition, much Interest
is manifested in where the farm
is to be located. 1t is not un-
likely that the place will be
selected with view to the ultimate
removal of the pententiary to the
farm. The bill provides that the farm
is to be within easy access of Richmond.
Chesterfield county, which is across
the river from Richmond, will probably
be selected. a site on the Richmond
and Petersburg Railroad would be con-
venient to three cties-Richmond,
Manchester and Petersburg. The bill
authorizes the expenditure of $25, 600
The Chamber of Commerce has
adopted resolutions protesting against
the removal of the offices of the Asso.
ciated Railways of Virginia and the
Carolinas from this city 10 Baltimore,
and the officers of the association have
been written to on the subject. They
cannot do anything, however, except
to protest against the contemplated
change. The merchants here will be
very sorry to see the removal take
place.
Richmond news dealers are very much ex
ercised over change in the schedule of
trains arriving here over the r. F. & P rail
road from the north. The train that arrives
| in Richmond at 2:3S p. m. from New York
brings the New York and Philadelphia papers.
In the future this train will not run on Sun
days, consequently there will be no papers here
from points beyond Baltimore. Baltimore
and Washington papers come OH a train that
arrives here at $50 a. NJ, and there is not
another train until 7:15 p. IN. Very many
northern papers are sold here and not only
the news dealers but the readers OF the papers
will regret the change. There is little doubt
but that the 7:15 train will be perfectly sat
| isfactory to the travelling public.

COMMUNICATED.

Editor Astorian:-
In your issue of Friday, July 9th,
there appears an article purporting to
be "A Report Containing Some Very
Interesting Facts" with all due defer
enee to the author, who is evidently
emulating Mr.. Gradgrind in his pursuit
of facts. It is very apparent to the care
full reader that facts are not always
synonymous with truth.
The author estimates" by some men
tai process OF his own, the number Of
high school pupils as 5S, whereas, ac-
cording to the enrolment the number
as stated by one in authority is 70.
Either much has been omitted in Civ
ing the data, or there is no great degree
Of accuracy in the arithmatical caicula-
tions. For example. $l4596.5O. "the total
salaries Of the teachers" divided by
sS4. "the total enrolment" gives $l4.Sa
as ''the average cost per public school
pupil" instead Of $3.50 as stated
Another fact % given. ''the total
teachers salaries In the high school
amounted to s275O a year." The real
facts are these: Prof. Wright's work
includes the supervision OF all the
grades In the buildlng-an amount ol
The daily morning Astorian. [volume] (Astoria, Oregon) 1883-1899, 1894-08-01

work considered in most cities sufficient
without any teaching. 1t is then plain
" unfair to say he is exclusively prin-
cipai of the high school. One assistant
has also grammar school occupying at
least a fourth of her time, therefore
only one teacher is employed on high
school work only. With such premises
what can we expect from the rest Of
the article but just what we find-a
re-hash OF stale arguments against high
schools in general, stated to appeal to
the recalcitrant Taxpayers, and possibly
to enable the author to pose as the Hol-
man of Astoria-the great Objector-
the speller Of economy with a capital T..
DO the pupils of the lower grades
have any less attention since the es-
tablishment of high school in Astoria?
Has the high school here given an up
lift to educational matters throughout
the town commensurate with the ex-
pense?
Has its influence on the lower grades
been such as to incite ambition among
the pupils? g. y Vi
Let any citizen investigate the real
facts and not rely implicitly upon any
newspaper article.
The present rate Of school tax Is 1-2
mills-$2.5O on every $1,000 assessment
the price, forsooth, of half box of
cigars.
Is any taxpayer in this enlightened
age so benighted, so lost to sense OF
his duty as citizen, as to grumble
because a small part of that tax is ap-
piled to running the high school? Our
friend says 20 per cent is so used,
though this is too large an estimate.
Granting the 20 per cent, it would be
four bits on every $1,000 he is assessed
a sum easily thrown away on some triie
or self-indulgence without thought
but spent for education-ah! that is a
very different matter. EDUCATE.

The business man who says that ad.
vertising does not pay does not adver.
tise. He is the one that always doubts
the prosperous trade reports he hears Of
his competitor, who does advertise. He
sits in the back of his store, smokes his
pipe and wonders why he isn't making
any money. He has the blues when he
should have trade. He not only let's his
neighbor get that neighbor's share OF
the business, but good part of his also.
He sees, people whom he thought old
friends Of his go into Ills competitors
store and come out with bundles Of
goods, when he has the same articles on
his shelves, and perhaps at lower prices
than they paid his competitor for them.
Why is this so? 1t is because his COM
petitor let's the public know in an in
Jelligent way through the local papers
what he has to sell and when he has it.
The successful advertiser looks after
MS advertising space as he does his
clerks. He changes his ads. in such a
way the people are attracted by them.
He feels that TO make money he must
