AGASsIZ SOCIETY.
Season of 1895 Opens shortly-Ar.
rangements for Children's
Excursions


Excursions.
With the opening of spring the
school excursions have again ar
rived, and Rev. n. Schultz, who
took it in hand last year to lead the
schools in those rambles, stands
again ready to aid the teachers and
children in their efforts to acquaint
themselves with nature. The soci-
ETY. last year mum bered about 1000
members and it is expected that
this year, when many of the teach
ers have the benefit of last years
experience in collecting and CLASH
flying of specimens, there will be
an even greater interest manifest
ed. The Rev, who is an enthusi-
astic student of nature, believes in
popularizing the study, teaching
children the power of observa-
tion-that they may not wan.
der strangers in the world in
which they live, and that they
may cultivate within themselves
love for their fellow creature
great and small which each fill
their place of that great whole,
whose body is natures and God the
soul.
The general plan pursued by the
schools is this: To take outings
once or twice a month into the field
or forest under the direction of the
teachers who with the assistance
Of books classify everything which
may come under the observation
of the children, from the beetle or
cocoon which may be found under
the loose bark of tree, under
stone on the hillside or on the
bank along the brook, to the flow
ers that burst forth into beauty or
the birds which sing in the trees.
Many teachers, who became in
spired by the enthusiasm of their
master, commenced to collect and
arrange specimens for their schools,
the children bringing them in
great variety, and now many of
the rooms have very nice natural
history collections, which now, af-
ter the beginning Of last year,
promise to be greatly augmented.
The street car companies of San
Antonio favor the movement in
every conceivable way. Last
year the Citizens car line, going
to Riverside park, San Pedro
springs and GovernmentIhill, trans
ported the school children to any
place they desired to go, including
all transfers, for only 3 cents each
the whole round trip, and Mr..
Gregory, the president of the Citi-
zen's line, has again come forward
to help the school children in their
efforts.
The San Antonio Street car COM
pany, which was rather slow last
year to help the movement, has
now also come forward with it's aid
and will take the children from the
schools to any part which may be
reached by any OF it's cars and re-
turn, including all transfers, for
only cents the whole round trip.
By letting the officers Of these lines
know a few hours before hand ar
rangements may be made for the
excursions.
Under these circumstances, the
obstacles have been considerably
curtailed, and the children have
again an opportunity to acquaint
themselves more intimately with
their heavenly Fathers works.
As far as his time permits, Mr..
Shultz will again assist the excur-
slons by his presence, if addressed
by letter, or if a note is left for him
at No. 5l2 East Houston street.

Uncle Sam does not want Cuba
as the result Of any filibustering,
nor as the result of any revolution
in that Island fostered by NAL
Contants from the United States.
II the time comes when it is
necessary for her to take possession
of it she will take in the entire
group. Those Islands will not
remain another century in the
possession of foreign powers, for
they guard the gateway to the
Gulf of Mexico, and it is not nat
ural that this gate should be in
the hands of our national rivals.

The repeated attempts Of the
friends of the unfortunate Mrs.
Maybrick to get at the ear Of the
Queen and secure a rehearing Of
her case, show how hard the heart
Of woman in great authority is
liable to grow. There is not a
reasonable doubt in the minds of
those who have examined into the
merits of this case that Mrs. May
brick has been most unjustly dealt
with, and just because Of a social
prejudice against her she is kept
in prison under the stigma OF hav-
ing poisoned her husband and not
permitted to produce the proofs of
her innocence that her friends
have accumulated.

political science and law.
No religious qualification will be inn
posed on students in those depart
ments-their doors will be open to all
men of good will who desire to make
the course of study provided by the
university. Nor will poverty be a bar
to learning there. Although the fee
for any number of courses is only
$7O0, no meritorious student will be
kept out for lack of means to pay it.
Honor to the university that opens
the fountains Of knowledge to all who
may apply, irrespective of creed, and
with no thought of pecuniary gain.

The Right Honorable Earl Of Meath
proposes, in the Nineteenth Century"
for February, scheme for "mending'
the house of lords, by admitting to it's
ranks certain number of men. "as
many as go" he says, representing
learning, intelligence, refinement and
distinction in military, scientific, lit
erary and other fields, so that the up
per house should consist, one-half OF
life peers and one-half of persons who
had earned instead Of inheriting the
right to make laws for the nation,
says the Boston Pilot" He would
actually go so far as to say that brains
should have an equal show with birth.
In case OF a deadlock between the
commons and the peers, he suggests,
as what he calls "self-denying ordi-
nance that: "When bill coming
from the commons has been rejected
by the lords in two consecutive ses-
sions, and after a general election in
the year following the last rejection,
and within six months OF the election,
is brought UP again to the lords in
a form similar to that in which IL was
presented to them on former occasions.
then resistance to it shall cease, and it
shall be permitted to pass into law"
The Right Honorable, the Earl OF
Meath, is generous. Under his beauti-
full scheme a bill unpopular in the
house of lords might hope to pass,
in spite of that house, in something
less than half, a generation, ii it's sup
porters did not all die in the meantime
When will the people of Europe wake
up to the fact that an hereditary leg

PRESIDENT CHEW ELtAND

The saving words Of the present
administration are Grover Cleveland.
Placed in the most difficult and seri
GUS circumstances of any president
since 1850, annoyed and thwarted by
an opposition intent upon gaining
political capital, he has Weathered
every storm, and time has invariably
taught the wisdom OF his actions and
methods. The man whom the Republic
can press and orators referred to in
1884 as the hangman of Erie, is now
more often spoken and written OF than
any other man in America. and this
statement holds true Of Mr.. Cieye-
land from 1889 to 1893, when he was
a. private citizen. And may people
wonder how this man, whom they
consider very ordinary, can command
such respect. Not even the most en-
thusiastic adniler Of Mr.. Cleveland
viii claim for him an unusual intel
lect and ability. He has not the great
and varied intellect Of Mr.. Gladstone,
nor his wonderful eloquence, nor has
he the iron grasp and power Of ex'
ecution Of Prince Bismarck, but he
has plentiful supply. of that not
over common possession, Known as
"hard sense" Hard sense, combined
with a steady adherence to the propo-
sition public office is g public trust"
which he frs made famous in this
country 10 years ago, have placed
Grover Cleveland easily at the head of
all men in public life in this country
today. He is practically without
party, with an opposition intensely
Jealous OF every act that may popular
ize his administration, yet. his poll
teal views are peculiarly the views Of
the great majority OF the people and
his political acts have been peculiarly
effective.
Throughout his political career he
has spurned to employ the methods OF

his ground he has taken it and main
tanned it to the end without the fear

The Davenport Democrat" makes
an interesting summary Of the income
tax law, as follows: s'.The income tax
is a new thing, and it is not strange
that there should be oft and repeated
misunderstanding of the mode Of
which it is levied and collected. Many
people still think that the government
issues blanks by sending them around
among the people who are likely to
have a tax to pay, This is not the
case. The revenue collector has the
blanks, as do all his deputies, and
they can be procured from him only.
He does not send them to you. Il you
want them you must go and get them.
He pays no postage on them in case
you ask him to mail them to you. That
is done at your charge, if it is done
at all And don't forget that all per-
sons and corporations whose income is
over $500 a year are expected to Sc
cure their blanks and make this re-
port by March 4. IF it is not done as
ordered inside Of that time, something
about the size Of Uncle Sans hand
will be heard to drop. It will not be
soft, like a gumdrop, either.

Putting out OF question the posi-
bility of establishing bi1netallism by
international agreement, there is only
one way in which the cause of silver
can be won in this country, If, indeed,
it can be won at all. The silver men
must boldly and honestly face the fact
that the issue for this country is prac-
tically between the gold standard and
the silver standard. They must not
allow themselves to be scared by the
charge that their remedy of free COIN
age means practically silver monomet-
allism. They must boldly take the
position that it is far better for the
country to adopt the silver standard,
making proper provision for the
honest discharge OF existing obliga-
lions, than to continue for an indetl-
mite time to come to engage with the
nations Of Europe iE the scramble for
gold" with consequences at once I'M
just and destructive Of that confidence
which is the essential condition Of ma
tional prosperity. If, and when, they
take this course, they will at least de-
serve to win.
