New York Needs School Houses.

Chicago Times-Herald.
 There are 50,000 children in the city of New York who cannot go to school be- cause there is no room for them In the school houses. If some little, struggling Dakota. town should fail to provide school house accommodation for all it's children the fact would become public scandal throughout the west. but the great me tropolis, rolling in wealth and drawing tribute from all parts of the American continent, goes along year after year. seeing tens of thousands of children roaming about the streets because there are no school buildings in which they can be educated. Mayor Strong says he is going to remedy this and that new school houses will be built as rapidly as possible. The old order of things grew out of the indifference of Tammany to all institutions and branches of govern ment which did r1t afford revenue for the politicians.

The "Curfew', Custom.

In Minnesota the old curfew custom has been re-established by law. Bells are rung at g o'clock at night, and at that time all children under a certain age must be indoors, under penalty of arrest and punishment. The law has been in operation since May 1 of the pres ent year, and it has worked so well that there is talk of having the bells rung at 12 o'clock also to warn the parents of the youngsters that it is time to be in bed and asleep.-Exchange
 The city council of Selma has improved on the Minnesota idea and extened the old "curfew" custom to govern husbands and fathers, SO it has been stated by sey- eral exchanges.

GOT HER INNINGS.

There is hardly reader that has kept up with Mrs. Willie K. Vanderbilt in her social struggles that will not be really glad to know that she has triumphed. The 400 was doubtful; it did not care to antagonize the Cornelius Vanderbilts, but when they received an invitation to the marble house and became convinced that Mrs Willie K. had real live Duke in tow the 400 bade farewell to every fear and pinned its faith to the woman who had made herself turning point in society
 Mrs. Willie K. is by far the smartest woman in the whole family. Up to the time she became one of them the Van derbilt family. with all it's money, had been flatly and relentlessly denied ad mission through the gilded doors. As Miss Smith she had been a warm friend of the Duchess of Manchester. and upon that ladys visit to this country she was entertained by Mrs. Willie K. in style that made the 400 gasp. It accepted first her invitations, then herself, and through her the rest of the family.
 Much doubt was expressed as to wheth- CT or not the powers that be would ac- cept the pretty divoreee, but as there is some danger of her becoming Mrs. Perry Belmont it was difficult to know just what to do. The Duke of Marlboro practically settled the question. If Mrs. Willie K. could have a Duke to visit her, and maybe marry her daughter, the 400 would undertake the task of forgetting all minor details. Henceforth the lady has the whip hand of the whole set and will dictate their paces. All honor to Mrs. Willie K.

A Remarkable Change.

Those who doubt that the silver craze is dying out should study the rise and decline of the craze in Ohio. In Septem- Der. 1894, the state democratic conven- tion. by a vote of 46S to 319. adopted a platform which contained a dissent from the "president's views, construction and treatment of the silver question" It also contained the following: "We favor the unlimited free coinage of silver at the legal ratio of 16 to l. and with equal legal tender powers"
 Now let us look at the state democrat ic convention of 1895, which met few days ago. What was the declaration Of that convention in respect to silver? It congratulated the president for uphold ing the credit of the country and declared for "the maintenance of the parity of the two metals and the equal power of every dollar in the payment of debts" In oth- CT words, it repudiated free silver coinage and declared for sound money. The ques- ton of free and unlimited coinage of sil- yer was presented in separate resolu- tion. There were 270 votes for it and 525 against 1t.
 Was not this remarkable change In one year? Yet similar change has taken place in nearly all the western and. it is safe to say. most of the south ern states. It is time for the silverites in the democratic party to crawl in their holes and pull the holes in after them.- Savannah Morning News

Yet Only silverloons Howl.

One-half the men in Alabama who are advocating the gold standard have been signal flnacial failures in the manage ment of their own affairs. s.-Birmingham State.
 This is a neat paragraph All the world should loolce in on this paragraph and read and reflect over it and then reread it. It grows on one as he gazes upon it. It is from a leading anti-national and state administration organ in Alabama When one has considered that this paper undertakes to lead the thought of a cer- tain element one will want to read the paragraph anew What the State meant to say was that the free silver people are a remarkable aggregation of blossom ing and blooming and harvesting finan- ciers from the great head waters of sue cess; that corn will grow for them 40 feet high, with ears like the chinqueplns on a tree and that cotton can be gathered by the dozen bales from a single acre. While this is true of the silverloons corn only makes a fritter to the row and cot ton does not come out at all for the goldS bugs. Not only are the silver people great financiers. but great statesmen as well. Our unruly mind now rests upon the figures of some of the silver states men and we could call names, but we desist. t.-Eufaula Times

Lost His Fortune-Ben Stillman, an old miser living in Marion county, ten miles from Hamilton, lost his savings of a life time by a serous incident on last Sunday night He had opened box in which he kept his fortune, about $5000 in greenbacks. and was counting out the money on able with the intention of placing it on deposit the next day, as an attempt had been made to rob him sev- eral nights before. While thus engaged he imagined he heard some one trying to enter, and rising suddenly upset the ta- ble.

It is doubtful whether the old man will survive the double shock.-Florence Herald.

We advise our farmers to sprinkle salt lib- erally through their corn in storing it in the barn as a sure protection against weavils, and not to be too nasty in dis posing of the surplus crop. Prices may be much better next spring. We would advise our farmers to feed the surplus to hogs and cattle when possible to do so. Beef is demanding paying prices in the northern markets, and good beef is always in demand in any market.-Tus- kaloosa Journal.

Trouble Seems Imminent Between the
Two Republics.
New YORK, January pa special to
the World from Puerto Plata, San Do
mingo, dated January Is, says trouble
seems imminent between France and
the Domingo Republic. A French man
of-war appeared off San Domingo few
days ago and began to take soundings.
She was boarded by pilot, who was in
formed that his service was not needed.
When he asked the commander what
his intentions were he was told none of
his business. The San Domingo author
tiles had a dispute with a bank a few
wears ago and eventually took $50, 900
from it. The bank was backed by
French capital and the bankers laid
their case before the French govern
ment. France demanded that the
money be restored to the bank, but
diplomatic negotiations seem to have
resulted in nothing. The World CORE
spondent learns that the French ulti
matum has already been sent in and
that it demands the return of the $780,
600 and a 100000 indemnity. Presi-
dent Heureaux, it is said, has declared
that he has no money to pay with.

OLYMPIA, Wash, January 26.-The
demand OF the people for protection
from railroad discrimination and against
the alleged abuse of the producing
classes bv railroad and steamboat cor

git OF an act providing for the general

regulate charges from an Impartial
standpoint. The ruling OF the commits
sioners is subject to appeal to the Supe-
rior and thence to the supreme Court,
where it shall have precedence OF other
civil actions the rates fixed by the
commissioners being the rate in force
during said appeal unless an indemnify
ing bond is given. For violation of the
commissioners orders and failure to
recompense for wrong or injury within
three days the corporation shall incur
for each oflense a penalty of not less
than $50 nor more than $4,000, to be
fixed by the Judge of the court IN which
the action is tried. The company or
corporation is also made liable to in
dividuals for wrong or injury in violation
of the Commissioners rulings, and it
becomes debt to be recovered in court
as in other actions between individuals.
