KINDERGARTENS.
The System Proving Successful for Indian
Children.

Children.
WASHINGTON, June IA system Of
kindergartens recently established on
some of the Indian reservations has
proved so successful that it is soon TO
be widely extended, especially in the
southwest Indian children are
usually shy. but under the influence of
the kindergarten games they have
been found to rapidly lose this
shyness and to become friendly
with each other and their
teachers A number of new
day schools will also soon be opened
in that part of the country. 1t has
been found best to educate these chill
dren as far as possible in kindergar-
tens rather than in boarding schools
The principal work of the schools at
present is in the line of industrial edu-
cation. The girls are being taught
cooking and sewing.

thr Decadruce oI Families.

The permanence OF prominent fami-
lies Is undergoing a severe strain In the
United States.
There are in this country communi-
ties which have been IN existence for
300 wears. and yet it would be impossi
ble to find any descendants of the prom
inent families of the first century, and
indeed but very few of the second, while
those of the present generation might
be counted on ones fingers.
There lives no man in whose veins
the blood of Washington runs. Perhaps
it is best that it is so, for if the decay
should have followed in his that over
took the families of most others who
were prominent with him, ii would be
pitable To see a Washington as a drunk
ard or an imbecile The Adamses, the
Shermans and few other families have
maintained respectability, but the great
trend OF the sons of prominent men has
been downward.
The name IF jefferson Davis Is, not
perpetuated, nor Is that of Alexander II
stephens. Like Washington both
names must stand as closed in history
Even in those families which have been
perpetuated, what pitabe samples have
been left for inspection.
II fatality follows the families of great
men, how much more sweeping it has
been with the families of rich men.
Almost before the founder of the family
has retired from active business, he sees
ms sons gone to the dogs, the creatures
of evil habits and rushing headlong into

be favorably disposed to the plan, in
spite of the fact that he is positively

being in favor of Of Mr.. Reeds nomin-
alton. Senator Quay is not here to
speak for himself but it is said for him
that he would always reserve the right

PEOPLE who do not realize the great
falling off in revenue owing to the de
preston of business cannot understand
why the private hospitals and charities
are to be shut out in the matter of state
aid this year, but when they are told of
the larger corporations, and manufac-
turing concerns, which two or three
years ago paid thousands into the treas
try, are now returning hundreds, they
might be able to understand the necessi-
ty for cutting the legislative approuria-
atlons. One corporation, which paid
two years ago about $500, 900 in tax,
paid the same tax this year with lcSs
than S40O, 900. \ smaller corporation,
which paid $50 before, pays 80 now.
These are illustrations of the steady de
crease in the revenues, and there is no
reason to believe that the estimate of
Sl9, 900, 900 for the next two years is not
sufficiently generous Notwithstanding
regarding the falling off of revenue
those who are interested in appropria-
tions to private institutions think that
the balances in the general fund of the
state treasury from month to month in
dicate the ability of the state to give
those institutions their usual aid.

Legislation TO Order.

ETejsiaHige ZeitvHg gives a moving pic
ture OF the misery suffered 10y the coun-
ell of state under the emperor's chair

have got the point where they pray that
the emperor will stay away and leave
them free to say what they think. His
majesty has a list of the speakers in mis-
hand and dictates in order in which they
may take the floor. As nobody dare 90
out when bored, all are obliged to re-
main fixed for hours in their chairs and
listen to the most dolorous discussions

must be cheered. As the emperor has
forbidden interruptions and cries of dis

No New County Wanted.

HazeltOn, Pa, March Is Recent
changes in public sentiment here make
it highly improbable that there will be
any division IN Luzerne county, as is
contemplated by the bill now pending
before the state legislature. Opposi-
ton to the proposed new county is daily
growing, and many of those who were
most enthusiastic Tor the division at first
are now against it, because of the large
increase in taxation which would follow.
The influential delegation that was in
Harrisburg last week have brought back
word that there Is very little chance of
the legislature passing the measure, and
that if the friends of United States Sen
ator Quay really wants to get county in
the state named after their favorite they
will have to go outside of Luzerne.

IT is announced from variety Of
sources, says the Pittsburg Post, that
Senator Quay has abandoned his advo-
cacy of Tom Reed for the presidential
nomination, and proposes to champion,
the aspirations of the brave General
Hastings, the hero of Johnstown. Sen
ator Cameron keeps on saving wood,
dOesu I say much, has silver lightning
rod up, and hopes that IN the conflict of
issues and men he may be the lucky
one
The declaration for Hastings by Quay
and Others means just this-nO more
and no less: There are two or three
Republican candidates whose chances of
the nomination seem to be about equal

of deciding the contest and possibly
making the president. Hastings in the
meantime will be used as a man of straw.
He stands about as much chance of the
presidential nomination as Senator
Quay, and not nearly as good a chance
as Senator Cameron. But '.rallying
around" his name will avert any con
tliCt in the state between the friends of
other candidates, and make the delega
CATION marketable commodity. This
Is unquestiOnably the game, but it Is a
reflection on the smartnesS OF Quay
x Co, that it should be exposed so ear
ly.
Nor Is it a new game in Pennsylvania
politics. As far back as 1SGU it was
practiced, the elder Cameron being the
trade mark. Mr.. Lincoln's 5 friends pur-
chased the delegation, the condition be
ing that Mr.. Cameron! should receive a
cabinet place. He did, but Honest
Old Abe could stand the Cameron way
only few months, and shunted Simon
off to Russia. Then in 1876, with Gen
eral Hartranft as a sign board, just as il
Is proposed Hastings shall be, the Penn
Sylvania delegation defeated James G
Blaine for the presidential nomination.
and gave the votes that made Hayes
candidate and president. Mr. Hayes ;
representatives promised that Don Cam
erOn should have a cabinet place, but
Mr.. Hayes the president was different
man from Hayes the candidate, and he
refused to honor the drafts made by his
CO. partners, whereat there was much
virtuous Indignation, and at the next
election Don Cameron quietly aided the
Democrats in carrying the state against
the federal administration to rebuke
HAYES.
'Pennsylyany's sheer" as good old
Simon Cameron put it, is the main con-
sideration. And the sheer - be it un>
derstood, is not general distribution
of the goods, but sort of department
shop; with Boss Quay as general mana
ger. That Is the program, and the

COMMISSIONERS OF PENSIONS LoCHREN
estimates that there will not be any de-
creased amount appropriated for pen
sions during the next three years after
March, 1896. The amount appropria-
ted for the fiscal year of 1896, in round
numbers, Is S14O, 600, 600; for the pres
ent year, the amount was $3.50, 900, 900.
The reason for the absence of any per
cepGDle decrease is that the falling off
owing to deaths and other causes is
about counterbalanced by first payments
IN pensions allowed. As cases are al
lowed from time to time, there are
large first payments, sometimes for ar
rears, and always dating from the time
the application was filed.
