salary ofany teacher in violation thereof"
This penalty is the very latest legislative
declaration upon the subject, having been
erected by the Legislature of 1893.
How Boards of Education in cities, to
whom the law is addressed-it not apply
ing in fullness to country schools-can
coolly and deliberately ignore this law
and have regard for their oaths of office,
we are unable to understand.
But the law is violated and ignored
actually treated as dead letter and its
mandatory provisions passed by as SO
much surplusage. We are about to have
a new City Board of Education; to that
body we commend the appeal of the
superintendent to treat the infant classes
as the law and reason command, Utterly
regardless OF that abs ard and vain
glorious idea among teacher that high
grammar grade is more honorable posi-
ton than that which has in charge the
just developing mind and intellect of the
child.
We shall await with no small degree of
interest the action of the new board when
its members shall have lifted their hands
and called God to witness that they will
support the Constitution and the laws of
the State.

Out In the Colds

A North-End Man Drives His Family
Out in the Cold.
Police officers were sent for last night
by residents of the vicinity of Seventh
and B streets to protect woman and her
children from the brutality of the head OF
a household in that neighborhood. The
man had driven his family out into the
cold night air, although his wife and one
daughter had hardly recovered from re-
cent attacks of pneumonia.
Matters had quieted down when the
officers arrived, and they had no au-
thority to arrest the man without a war
rant. Some members of the family were
afraid to return to the house, however,
and were cared for by neighbors.
1t is said that the man frequently abuses
his wife and children, although he is not
as is usually the cause-addicted to the
use of liquor. A complaint is likely to be
sworn out against him.

The Ladies' Museum Association is
called to meet to-day. and the officers
appeal to the merchants because of im-
portant business, to attend and secure a
large meeting.
The association has given large num-
Der of worthy poor young people educa-
ton in the School of Design, thereby con-
ferring benefits of a high order on native
ability. There are several pupils of the
association now in the school and others
are appealing for the privilege of scholar
ships.
The work of the ladies has been and is
noble one, and they should not grow
weary of well-doing. The membership
is large, but disposed to leave the man
agement wholly to the officers, while the
latter beg the members to come to the
meeting and counsel with them.

DETAILS are at hand of the massacre of
Catholic worshipers by Cossack troops of
the Gar at Krosche in Little Russia The
| account of the butchery chills the blood.
1t seems all but impossible that in this
day and age such cruelty and inhumanity
can be, or that any civilized Government
sacks broke into the church, sabred the
people right and left, knouted the women
and children, lanced the men, drove those
who escaped from the church into the
river. where many were drowned, and
cast the dead and wounded in cesspools
until the pits were filled to the brim. The
church was pillaged, the sacred emblems
torn down, and the vestments destroyed.
| When the massacre was over the troops
rounded up the inhabitants of the town
| left living, and in the market place pro-
ceeded to mercilessly fog every one,
neither sex nor age serving to exempt
any, after which most of the people were
cast into prisons. Such is the story told
in the German papers. Of course the
Russian officials deny it, but refugees
bleeding, naked and dying, have come
over the border to bear witness to the
truth of the charges. There never will
be any accounting made for this outrage
by Russia. The Catholic church is help
less in the matter; other Governments
cannot assume the function of judges,
and so the great crime will go unatoned,
and the perpetrators escape unpunished.

John w. Barnett handed his resignation
today to the board of commissioners. 1t

vacancy. The announcement of Barnett's
resignation created little surprise, having
been expected for some time past, ~ he
was unable 20 find bondsmen TO take the
places of those who had Withdrawn. 1t IL
alleged that Barnett Is short in his &C.
counts from 5000 to $4,000. He denies
this. but his bondsmen admit that he has
been unable to produce the funds when
called upon.
Two years ago Barnett was one Of the
most popular men in the county, and ran
ahead OF his ticket. He is a conscientious
and capable officer. but has shown himself
utterly reckless IN the management OF the
financial affairs of the office. hence his
trouble. Today the principal shortage is
said 70 be on account of the Richardson
bankrupt stock, which he sold two years
ago. He says the accounts are straight,
and that he can produce every cent when
necessary. He says that bis inability to
secure bondsmen is due TO the influence OF
his enemies. If there is . shortage aud it
