AT 1T AGAIN.

Were we inclined to do so we could
retort you've another and that
would settle the controversy, accord
ing to the logic of the Statesman, as
to school matters. If the Board of
Education, or any member thereof
objects to the editor of the Herald or
any other citizens of the town attend
ing their meetings, they are guilty OF
more serious offense than any OF the
many accusations which businessman
has made. To be specific: The first
information the Herald had of the
change in the board OF examiners was
obtained from the Statesman. We
then went to member of the Board
and inquired who was chosen. The
editor of the Herald never at any time
asked any member of the Board to IA
vor or oppose any person as teacher
or examiner, and does not expect tc
do so. We have frequently discussed
school matters in general with men,
bers of the board but never with a
view of influencing their action.
This we have right to do and will
continue to maintain and exercise
that right, the carping, chronic kick.
er of the Statesman to the contrary
notwithstanding.

LICENSE PERMITS.

Much discussion has been INDUCED
in on the street and elsewhere as to the
action OF the council in the matter of
granting permits to parties to obtain
licenses to sell intoxicating liquors.
The ordinance provides that licenses
shall not be granted to persons Of
incorporate habits nor to persons
who violate the laws of the town or
State. In dealing with the subject
members of the council have different
views. Some are opposed to grant
ing licenses and so vote; others think
the number OF saloons should be re-
duced; others vote for license but in
sist that the law must be strictly COM
piled with, and so on. We have tax
en- considerable pains to investigate
the subject and find that each and
every member of the council did what
he believed to be right and actedly
conscienciously. Whether all were
fully informed as to the merits of each
and every case we do not know. In
justice may have been dore to some
and some not really entitled to lie ense
may have been granted permits. in
which latter case the County Court
can refuse license, but in the former
relief can only come from the council.
The above is upon the theory that
the license system is the best means
of regulating the sale of intoxicants.

views On issues ana (dHdiIateS.
A poll of Republican and Democrat
ic National Committees has been
made as to Presidential preferences Of
their members. A circular letter was
sent to each and also to the chairman
ofthe State Committees, propounding
these questions:
I. What city do you favor as the
place of holding the next Republican
Tor Democratic) National Convention?
?. Whom do you consider the most
available candidate of the Republican
Tor Democratic) party for the Presi-
dency in 1898?
3. Upon what issues should the
campaign be conducted
The answers show beyond the shad-
ow of doubt that the Republicans
will make their fight for supremacy
on the question of the tariff. The
choice of the majority of the leading
members of the party is Governor
William Mckinley, of Ohio, for Presi-
dent. st. Louis appears to be the
favorite place of the committeeman for
holding the convention, although San
Francisco is not far behind.
Among the Democrats Vice-Presi.
dent Adlai L. Stevenson is the popu-
lar selection for President. Governor
Claude Matthews, of Indiana, is also
named as suitable man. In the
opinion of the committeeman ST.
Louis is the best place for holding the
convention, San Francisco next in
favor. The National Committee is
unit in declaring that the question
of the currency will be the main issue
of the campaign.

The Statesman does not understand
why the Herald should suggest Sena-
tor Faulkner as the most available
man for the Democrats to nominate
for the Presidency. There are many
reasons; He is fully competent; he
is not an ultra free trader; he is near
er right on the financial question than
any other prominent Democrat who
has expressed himself, and he is a sic
cessful politician. For example: In
1890 and 90 he virtually had charge
OF the campaigns in this State and
won; in 1894 he was kowled down BY
the Wilsonites and the Republicans
won by 5000. If the above are not
good and sufficient reasons why he is
the most available Southern Demo-
crat we will name one more: Because
the editor of the Statesman is oppos-
ed to him

No, dear Statesman, the Herald
does not nor did not nominate anyone
for council. The names of certain
gentlemen-splendid men-were an
nounced and others referred to as be-
ing spoken of. The conventions will
nominate and the Herald will support
and help elect the nominees. That is
all as to those named but how about

in New York has been estimated at
S64, 900, 900, yielding approximately
an annual rental of So, 200, 600. The
recent decision on the income-tax
question saves the Astors just S64, 600

WOMEN AS PoMoLoGIsTs.

In the industry of fruit-growing Amer
lean women are coming, or rather are
very much, to the fore. Fully a third of
the fruit ranches in California are owned
or managed by them.
None among them has, perhaps, made
such great success as Mrs. H. R. w
Strong, of Whittier, who is widely known
as ''the woman fruit grower of Southern
California"
Mrs. Strong has, it is said, the largest
walnut grove in the world, which COM
prises $50 acres. This, however, is only a
portion of her grove, for she has been
equally successful and enterprising with
other nuts and smaE fruits. Some time
ago, before the state board of trade, Mrs.
Strong read paper showing the value of
pampas grass and pomegranates as Cali
fornian products. The opinions expressed
in this article should certainly be regard
ed as coming from one who knows, for
Mrs. Strong yearly realizes from $3.50 to
5000 from the pampas grass which grows
on either side Of her avenue, which is
800 feet long.
From the pomegranate excellent syrups
and jellies are made and the rind Yields
quite large quantity of tannin.
Englishwomen are not altogether stand
ing still in this branch of labor, but are
making the best advancement possible.
Their chances for progression in this rar-
tcular line have been limited, as Il IS
now only four years since the first Eng
glish horticultural college, which Is al
Swanley, opened its doors to women stu
dents. Up to the present time they have
proved themselves to be clever and able
gardeners, and the work seems to be par
ticularly adapted to them.-Ex.

FAlDs IN SHIPS.

Fads in shipbuiding seem to date from
the seventeenth century, when Dutch
merchant gave orders for vessel to be
constructed for him like the pictorial
representations of Noah's ark. The ship
ping folk in the town where he resided
jeered at him for his eccentric idea, but
when the craft was completed, and II
was found capable of carrying a third
more cargo than other owners ships, and
no extra men were required to work it,
the laugh changed sides. Probob.y this
is the only instance on record of fad
turning out successful when put to
practical test.
In 1914 William Doncaster patented
what he described as being "the first
hydrostatlc ship that has ever appeared
upon the habltable globe" 1t consisted
of i've pontoons, sharp pointed. to divide
the displaced water, so that it would rise
we'll to the waves. Four water wheels
were fixed fore and aft, between pom
toons one and two and four and five.
through which the water ran, to propel
the vessel This invention, as might
readily be imagined, proved of no use
whatever-Chambers Journal.
