The Salary Amendment.

The School Moderator has very timel,
and sensible article on the salary amend
ment question. We ask careful reading
of what Mr.. Pattengill says:
"Ye editor wishes here to urge the teach
ers of the State to work from now till tn,
polls close on the first of April for the pass
age of the amendment increasing the sala
ries of elective State officers. The amend
ment raises the salary of the State
Superintendent to SO, 500, as we'll as that Of
the Secretary of State, State Treasurer ant
Commissioner OF the Land Office. The At
torney Generals salary is placed at S3, 900
Coupled with this increase is provision
requiring each officer to give his time and
attention to the duties of the Office. The
salaries for years have been shamefully low.
The amount named in the amendment is
not unreasonable, in fact it is far short OF
the sum paid similar officers in other states.
Several cities in Michigan pay their super
intendents of schools as much as the sum
named for the salary of the State Superin-
tendent. The position requires excellent
executive ability, good scholarship an unlm-
tied amount of energy, power to inspire
teachers and patrons with the educational
zeal, sound judgment, courage, tact, knowl-
edge of human nature, and a liberal sprink-
ling of lime in the spinal column. Mind
you, We editor is writing of the qualifica-
tons which should be found in the officer,
not what the present incumbent possesses.
The work should have the undivided atten-
ton and the entire time of the person
chosen. The education of 600, 900 children,
the proper expenditure annually of three
millions of dollars in accomplishing this, is
certainly work important enough to
warrant great aud thrifty commonwealth
in giving salary large enough to support
the officer and his family while he is giving
his best years to the service of the State.
Some one says: Oh, but We editor is inter-
ested in this matter. To be sure he u.s. He
knows whereof he speaks, and were he not
so intimately associated with the present in
cumbent of the Office he would say ten
times more and work ten times harder for
the success of this measure. IT'S not for
the present time alone that this amendment
is made, but doubtless for the next quarter
of century. IT'S to the interest of every
teacher that the change should be made.
To be sure the times are hard, but that con-
dition will last only short time. Let
every teacher take hold of this matter.
Not only talk, but work. BE at the polls,
get every friend to help, let the battle be
waged from now on till election night Ii
failure crowns the effort, square away for
the next election, and thus keep at 1t till
right shall win."
Remember that If the amendment passes,
the total state tax will be increased 50, 100
The taxpayer who is assessed Sl,25O will
pay one cent year more; if $1,000, two
cents year more, etc. Remove the dis
grace hanging over the State by voting to
pay our State officers decent compensa-
ton for the work they do.

GALE ON LAKE MICHIGAN.
The Livliest Kind of a Blow Reported.

St. Joseph, Mich, September 30. The
storm which has ragged here since Satur-
day morning as yet abates but little. No
steamers have left here since Friday
night. Much fruit is now lying on the
docks awaiting transportation. Steamer
Puritan left Chicago this morning in the
face of the gale, arriving three miles off
this port at II: She was rolling and
pounding very badly and waves were
rolling over the piers. She could not
enter and started off in the Milwaukee
route. Two schooners are reported as
hore between here and South Haven.
The wind whipped the remaining fruit
off the trees and blown several small
houses down. 1t has torn shade trees
up by the roots. This morning freight
train on the Chicago and Michigan
railroad was struck in the sand blown
on the track during the night. Reports
from Muskegon say the lake is higher
than for many years and is submerging
wharves and doing considerable damage.
The steamers of the Goodrich line did
not leave port last night owing to the
roughtness of the lake. Today the lake
has been in angry mood and no small
craft could weather the sea. Several
boats sheltered here waiting for the lake
to calm down. At Holland the wind
ragged 80 miles an hour last night and
the sea was rolling over the piers TIL
Holland Chicago transportation boats
were ordered to remain Import.

STILL TAMMANYs MASTER.
Evidences of Croker's Control of the
Tiger,

New York, September 2S-The selection
of John G. Sheehan as chairman OF the
Tammany Hall finance committee-the
place formerly held by Richard Croker
is regarded as only another proof OF What
well-informed politicians have been say
ing for months, namely, that Croker has
absolute control of the Tammany organl-
zation. Sheehan Is one of Croker's pets,
and when he was slated for the chair
smanship nobody dared offer any obJeo-
zion. He could have bee n elected chair
man of the committee on organization
last month in place of Henry d. Purroy,
but Purroy threatened to leave Tammany
Hall II he was displaced, and the CROKER
guard decided that Sheehan had peIter

control of the committee anyhow;
Next to Sheehan's election the most
important feature of last nights meetlng
of the general committee was the electlon
of Amos j. Cummings as chairman OF
the committee on printing in place OF + ex-
Mayor Gilroy. Gi1roy made great e1ort
to get reelected, as the chalrmanshlp OF
this committee carries with it member
ship of the executive committees. His
failure leaves him outside of the inner
council of Tammany Hall, and the IN
dications are that he will remain there
while Croker controls.

FAMOUS PAsTEUR DEAD.
The Celebrated Partisan Scientist and
Chemist.

Paris, September 2S.-Prof. Louis
Pasteur, the distinguished chemist and
discoverer of the Pasteur treatment for
the cure of rabies, is dead.
Louis Pasteur was born December 81,
1929, at Dale, in the department. of Jura,
France He was sent at an early age to
a local college. and thence to Besancon.
In 1s43 he was received as pupil in the
ecole Normal, took the degree of doctor
in 1s47, and was appointed professor Of
physics in the faculty 6f sciences at Dion
in 1S4s, and of chemistry at Strasburg in
1s4e ~ ~ 20 u u II.
In 1854 he was made dean of the newly
created faculty of sciences at Lille. In
1857 he went to Paris and became
scientific director of the eoole Normal. In
December, 1858, he was appointed pro-
fessore Of geology, physics and chemistry
elected member of the institute.
He made extensive researches in
fermentation and peline. His later re-
searches have resulted in a great ex-
pansion of the germ theory and Its appli-
cation to useful purposes. Pasteurization
is largely practiced now in the conti-
mental countries, where beer and wine
are such important products.
His method of treatment for hydro
phobia is now known to the world, and
needs no lengthy explanation here. The
basis of his theory was that innoculation
must be effected within a month of the
bite, that being a reasonable period to
allow for the birth and growth of the
disease.
DR.. Pasteur was honored by the cross
of the Legion of Honor and was mem
Der of scores of honorable and exclusive

Causes Them,

Boston, September 29.-Acting under
instructions from Captain Donovan and
at the instance of the society for the
Prevention of Cruelty to Children, a
large squad of policemen from Division
2. went out late last evening with drag
net and scooped in all the young boys
they could find on the streets.
In all twenty children, three Of them
under seven years of age and but few
over fourteen, were captured and taken
to the station house.
At midnight the full score of urchins
ragged, unkempt and generally wearing
an uncared for appearance, were gathered
in the guard room disporting themselves
in many ways, rolling about in heaps on
the floor, playing tag. catching brief
maps on the settees or standing grinning
at the door watching the proceedings in
the Office
The agent for the society with the long
name was present and taking the name
of each arrived as he was ushered in by q
policeman sent for his parents or
guardians. In an hour or two all but
half dozen had been claimed by rela-
tiyes or friends and taken away.
The boys were for the greater part Of
Hebrew descent. They included the littls
fellows VINO sell mabCnes oH Ino common
or papers on fremont and West streets
and Temple place after the theatre,
urchins who beg for pennies IN Scollay
square and on Hanover street; even the
newsboys of Newspaper row and the
Youngsters to whom Pie alley is more
familiar and more of a home than any
other place.
The parents of seventeen of the boys
will be arraigned in the Municipal court
Monday for neglecting their children.
The others were sent away with warn
ing not to allow the boys to be found on
the street again at unseemly hours.

CARLISLES FUTURE.
He Prefers the Senate to a seoretaryship.

Washington, September 2a.-The story
that Secretary Carlisle intends to strive
for an election to the Senate to succeed
Mr.. Blackburn is generally believed
by his friends. Mr.. Carlisle was not at
first disposed to abandon his seat in
the Senate for the Cabinet. President
Cleveland, however, it is known, was
very persistent in his efforts to. induce
Mr.. FCarlisle to enter the Cabinet Mr..
Carlisle went Ito New York at the invita-
tion of President Cleveland and spent
two days as his guest. After all his
other objections had been gone over, the
Senator is reported to have given his
weightiest reason 1t was that his wife
was seriously opposed to 1t. On leav-
ing the President-elect the Senator re-
marked that he would leave the final
decision to Mrs. Carlisle. The woman
upon whom SO much was said to depend
is tall, powerfully built. of commanding
presence, possessing. a high, proud spirit,
and great determination of character.
Her personality has been stamped upon
f1uence has counted in keeping him true
to himself and in lines best calculated
to bring him the honor and distinction
due to his extraordinary mental gifts,
perhaps never will be fully known. Mrs.
Carlisle then seemed to think that her
husband would be greater as a Senator
than as a Cabinet minister. His main
reason for protesting against the pro-
posed change in his official station,
however, wasithat Mr.. Carlisle's income
did not warrant the change. AS Sena-
tor comparatively little was expected
of him in entertainment. It is saidaa to
be impossible TO make the salary of $4,000

ALLOWS THREE MONTHS.
For Spain to Crush Cuba to Cuban Rob ell
lion.

Washsa gson, September % --If Stshin
the next three months Spain does not
crush the uprising in Cuba she must
submit to the international interfer-
ence in the interest Of humanity and
commerce That is said to be the signifi-
oance of series of conferences reported
to have been held between Secretary
Olney and the Spanish minister, Senior
Dupuy de LONE.
The United States, the report says, has
agreed for the present to keep hands out
of the trouble, but this is accompanied
by tacit warning that unless Spain car
ries out her promise of suppressing the
1nsurrection and restoring order in
Cuba within reasonable time she m ust
expect the United States government to
pursue different policy.
The conference was held, 1t is said, at
the request of Secretary Olneys who
ment of the condition of affairs in
Cuba. the intentions of the Spanish gov
ernment, its ability to protect American
citizens and their property and the pros
meet of suppressing the insurreotion.
The Spanish minister. entered into de-
tails concerning the plans which his gov
ernment had formed for breaking up the
r6D0lllOQ, huu duUcluPC w oohfAAoo
Secretary Olney that the insurrection
is thing of today and will be gone
tomorrow.
To lust, what extent Secretary Olney
minated to Senior de LONE the prob
ability of American intervention, In case
of failure Of the coming campaign, IS not
known. But it is known that the Span
ish minister has sent several long cable
messages to his government during the
last IS hours. While Secretary Olney
declines to discuss Cuban affairs, it is
said by those near him that he took a
conservative view ofithe situation He
agreed, these persons say, that, inasmuch
as the revolution had broken out only
last April, Spain had not yet had fair
chance to repress it and restore order.
If Spain should fail to suppress the re-
bellion during the winter months, 1t Is
strongly limited that the voice Of the
secretary will-be raised in favor Of inter
yention by this government.
