 Addition.

But, notwithstanding they are now in the city itself, there are few lots for sale yet at prices corresponding with the "Sound Money Doctrine" of President Cleveland and his cuckoos, which means that kind of a dollar which will buy two dollars worth of property. These lots are near the new elec- tric car line which is now in operation. The lots are in the city and their occupants do not need to ride into town, but the presence of electric street cars is popular and adds market value to the property. Inside of five years this will be business property. Buy lot now for residence and when business crowds you out the rents will SUD- port you in house outside in some addition where you can keep horse and drive into town and collect your rents.

In this light can call up at will all sorts of beautiful colors, which 1 see mingled with the radiance and forming part of it. Thus my blindness has always been for me in certain way bright ness.
 As I grew older there came to me other abnormal peculiarities, which have been mercifully sent as compen- sations. I can always tell when others are looking at me, and can generally tell whether they are looking at me in kindness or the reverse. My sense of hearing is extremely sensitive, and through it I can read character in the tones of the voices of men and women around me.
 can also discern character accurate ly in the touch of the hand. I have certain instincts for which 1 have no exact name, which sometimes make me foresee future events. My senses of touch and smell are excessively del- icate.
 Correct Measurement.
 Some six years ago there lived in the city of X-a rather eccentric old man, remarkable for his shrewdness, who kept a pork shop. Three young fellows, thinking to have some fun with him, entered his shop one night and asked what his pork was a yard. The old man promptly replied: 'One dol lar" One of the young men then said: 'I1l take a yard.' Where is your money?" said the old man. The dollar was laid down, which the old man quickly pocketed, and then produced three pigs feet, with the remark: ''Three feet make one yard"

THE STATE pExrrExr1ARY.


The legislature has about month in
which to complete the work that is
before it. 1t cannot possibly Go all
that should be done and necessarily
many important matters viii have to
go over until another legislature meets.
But there is one subject that demands
consideration now and to postpone,
which will be an injury to the state
and very grave one. This IS the
question what shall be done with the
prisoners confined 1n the penitentiary.
No one who has ever given the mat
ter a moments thought but recognizes
that 70 corfine men in penitenEiary,
not furnish them steady employment
and allew them to associate together is
to kill all hope of reformation in che
prisoners themselves and to make
them really worse men when they
emerge than when they enter. It is safe
to say that the great majority Of
the men who serve term, no matter
what length, in the penitentiary, come
out greater criminals than they go in,
for the reason that there is no regular
employment for then, and as they can
not be kept in solitary confinement all
the time they must associate together
This state of things should be reme-
died as soon as possible.
Another matter that needs attention
is the holding Of men awaiting trial
in the penitentiary. 1t is a wrong to

PREPARAToRY SCHOLARSHIP.

A safe and satisfactory structure can
never be built upon rickety Foundation.
Therefore the course in the preparatory
school must not be hurried or shortened
for the sake of getting the boy into col
lege within certain time or at a certain
age This cannot be done without gross
injustice to the boy himself. Better far
that he should not go to college at all
than that he should go without sound
and thorough preparation. Any young
man will be really better educated and
better able to hold his own among Gull
tivated people by doing honest work for
four or five years at high grade second
airy school than by managing to struggle
through a college course for which he has
had no adequate preparation
1t is true that we all know men who
had very little schooling in early life, who
are yet well informed, interesting, alert,
Intelligent, really educated men. They
have educated themselves, they have been
observant and studious and thoughtful,
and they have succeeded in achieving a
high degree of culture. But these very
men will feel and regret the los of early
opportunities more deeply than others.
Besides, such men are rare exceptions.
The natural gifts of intellect combined
with the strength of character which have
enabled them to do this are by no means
common. The vast majority require all
the help and impulse and uplift they can
get from the best of schools to enable
them in after years to make even a re-
spectacle record as educated gentlemen

erroneous principle. We mold. also.
that the future belongs to the gold
standard, and that silver has lost for
ever all chance of regaining its old
place as a money metal for use IN IN
ternational exchanges.
That is a square, manly declaration
of an honest belief, and its squareness
and manliness challenge admiration.
Would there were more like it.
The Herald goes on to say that it
frankly admits that the creed which it
ayows has not yet found wide accept
ance in the United States. In this
opinion we cannot agree, that is to say,
we regard the international binetal
lists as advocates of a single gold
standard for this reason, that the
achievement of international bimetal-
lism is almost an impossibility, and Of
this fact they are well aware. This be-
ing the case, those who desire a sin
gle gold standard and who do not care
to openly avow their inner wishes, can
continue to shout for bimetallism on
the International plan without afford
ing those bimetallists who advocate in
dependent action by the United States
any pretext for charging them with IN
sincerity.
When a leading paper like the Boston
Herald comes out for the single gold
standard without any ifs, ands or butts
about its advocacy, 1t pleases US, for it
renders great assistance in giving
backbone to those who hold the same
views but have not the courage OF
Cfleir convictions and thus materially
helps to define the real monetary is
sue. 1t aids the silver cause by eX-
posing the hollowness of the interna-
tionaI bimetalIist pretense. 1t will also
have much influence in causing polit-
teal parties to place in their platforms
honest declarations, incapable of being
distorted or misunderstood, SO that peo-
pie may know just what to expect
when it comes to deciding the questions
before them. They have not had such
declarations on the money question in
the past but they will insist upon them
in the future. Such avowals as the
Herald's will aid in bringing this de-
sirable state of things about.

MRS. sTANFoRD,s TRIUMPH.

The United States supreme court has
decided the case of the United States
against Jane L. Stanford in favor of
the defendant. The decision will give
general satisfaction as it insures the
success and prosperity of the Leland
Stanford, jr. university. The decision
is also very important in determining
the liability of stockholders of the Cen
trail Pacific to the government This
will have an interest chiefly for rail-
roads and stockholders in them. That
which has given the case so much
prominence is the fact that upon this
decision huns the fate of the university
founded by the late Governor Stan
ford. To it he gave an endowment that
will enable it to take first rank among
American institutions of learning.
A corps of professors was engaged
second to none in the country, and
students were beginning to flock to
Palo Alto in such numbers as to give
every assurance of success in all ways.
Just as the university was starting out
on what promised to be a brilliant ca
reer the government filed a suit against
the Stanford estate for some fifteen
millions of dollars. If successful it
meant the death Of the university and
in any event the Gripping of it. This
latter effect was soon felt and only the
heroic efforts of Mrs. Stanford prevent
ed the dispersal of an exceptionally fine
corps Of professors and assistants. Her
personal sacrifices were great indeed.
Her jeweIry and gems were sold to
raise money to carry on the institution
that her husband had founded until
the suit against his estate could be
finally decided Her efforts have not
been in vain and the suit she has so long
fought has been decided in her favor
by the highest tribunal in the land.
The worry over that is past and gone
forever. The institution that Leland
Stanford founded will perpetuate his
name forever; the fight, the gallant
fight, that his widow made to save it
will perpetuate hers forever. 1t
is a victory of peace no less
renowned than one of war and
more glorious. Mrs. Stanford and the
cause of higher education throughout
the land are to be congratulated upon

A PLAYED OUT GAME.

Senator Fryre declared the other
day that the tariff bill is as dead as
Juiius Caesar. That is pretty dead,
in fact about as dead as anything can
be. The bill being dead presumably
the old rule of saying naught of the
dead but good should apply. In this
case it would mean that nothing be
said: this cannot be allowed.
Termed an emergency revenue bill,
it was merely tentative to find out
what the public sentiment on the
question of protection was. 1t under
took to put heavy duty on wool and
remove it from the free list; yet the
placing OF wool on the free list was
one of the best things in the Wilson
bill. It went through the house but
failed in the senate, failed because d
few Republican senators looked upon
the money issue as paramount to the
tariff issue The trainers of the bill
realized that the west was where the
wool interest was greatest so the
bribe of a tariff upon it was offered
Eastern manufacturers were offered
the same inducements, but the plan
failed If each party got what it
wanted neither would gain thereby.
a duty of so or 20 per cent. on manu-
featured goods does not aid the manu-
facturers if their raw material is pro-
tected in the same ratio; it is simply
six of one and half d dozen OF the
other. Badly as the Republicans
wanted to protect the wool growers
of the west and raise revenue at the
same time, they did not want to do
this so badly that they were willing to
accept a free coinage amendment to
the emergency revenue bill. Well,
they have the satisfaction of knowing
now that their bill is, according to
Senator Frye. as dead as julius
Caesar. And it and all protective"
measures deserve to be. And now do
the Republicans think they can make
the tariff the issue in the coming cam
paign? 1t is a played out game.

THE FUNCTION OF PUBLIC EDUCA-
TIoN.

How far should the state educate? Sim
ply to the point necessary for its pre-
servation. The underlying principle Of
state education is state preservation. The
moment we leave the principle of neces-
sity, we are on uncertain and debatable
ground. 1t does not require much dis
cussion to determine the simple and fun
damental branches Of education that the
state should teach in order to protect it.
self against gross ignorance and ineffi-
cheney. Reading, writing, figuring and a.
knowledge of the country's history should
be most thoroughly taught To this could
be combined an education of the hand as
well as of the head, the first rudiments of
training having been started in the kin
dergarten All appliances for teaching
these fundamentals of education should
be most modern and complete and carried
on under the best hygienic surroundings.
The absence of any attempt to cope with
the higher and more ornamental branch
es would leave sufficient time and money
to lay a proper ground work in every
childs case, even the most backward and
unpromising one. The Importance of pri-
mary education is now universally recog-
med, as it is, directly or Indirectly, made
compulsory in all civilized countries.
When, however, the state attempts to
carry education along higher lines, the
temptation to neglect the humble primary
branches in the interest of the upper and
more snowy grades becomes apparently
