A bill has been introduced in the Leg
islature to require the school authorities
to provide flags for the school houses aud
have them raised over the said houses.
This 10 sentiment, of course, and is in
tended to make the children patriotic.
Perhaps we shall hear next that some
other member has offered an amendment
requiring the authorities to furnish fire
crackers and pop-guns for the b0ys to
open aud close school with. Would it
not also be well to require them TO fur
nIsh each boy with drum or ffe as a
patriotic sentimenty Anything, you
know, to increase expenses and Cypress
the poor taxpayer. Why not pro-
vide each school-hOuse with good
cannon and lot OF ammunition TO be
fred of each morning and afternoOnf
That would help quite lively to increase
taxes, and make the taxpayer more pa
triotie. And would 1t not be well also
to have a man employed at each school
house to fire off the cannon, beat the
drums and raise aud lower the hagsS
The tax payers foot the bill anyhow,
and they like to see their money wasted.

r.nnd Nets ". selns..

Mr.. Charles III. Metzdorf, of Queens
town, who states that be il an expert
enced fisherman, writes as follows to the
Sun on pound nets versus seines
"When fish go into the pound nets,
both large and small are dipped out and
the small hsh are killed az well as the
Others. Seines are hauled in the water,
the market fish are picked out and the
little ones 60 free again.
IF the use Of pound nets could be
stopped in the spawning season there
would be more fish in two years than
ever In proof it may be said that there
is pl.nty of rock fish which are too shy
to be caught i'll the pound nets. These
nets do catch perch and shad by tons,
and there are few large perch now.
"There are nets alsng the Chesapeake
which caLch these FISH just for manure
for the farms, aHd nearly every other
farm on the bays and rivers has net OF
some kind. If there was big tax on
all fish nets there would not be 80 many
of them.

We have been enjoying a spell OF wind
try weather. High winds have been con-
tinuous since Sunday. Consequently low
tides are the rule and navigation Of small
streams and estuaries made difficult and
dangerous. The earth's surface is quite
dry and gusts uf wind meet you at every
turn. The windy spell has probably
ceased. In New York and other north
ern points snow from four TO ten inches
deep nave fallen. At Poughkeepsie the
Hudson is ice gOrged and the water 10
running over the river bankA In the
Naugatu0k valley, Conn.,, several towns
have been flooded and much damage has
been done.

The first Month Of spring.

The first month of the season of Spring
is now upon US. March, however, is no
favorite month. 1t has tendency to
spring too many unwelcomO weather
changes on us to make it particularly
pleasant. Nor is its temperature of such
4 degree as to remind us of the charm
ing days OF so delightful u season. The
knowledge OF March's treachery should
teach everyone the necessity Of prudence.
There is no period of tue year wherein
such radical changes in weather and tenn
peratuTe occur within the short time Of
tweuty-four hours. Those, therefore,
who are easily subject TO colds should
use every precaRtiJn. Colds caught dur
ing this season are loath to leave one.

Havana, Jan. 17.-This after
noon number of private tele-
grams were received from Ma
drid that the government of
Spain still had. confidence in
the captain general. At the
same time it was stated that it
seemed from the trend Of pub
lie opinion that a change in the
ministry in Cuba was desira-
Die. From this it was judged
that the captain general would
promptly tender his resigna
ton.
The captain general, talking
over the situation with friend
last evening, is reported to have
said:
81 have done the best I could
under the circumstances and
nobody but myself has a full
knowledge of the difficulties I
have been laboring under. Had
I been successful there would
have been nothing but praise.
I have been unsuccessful and
there is nothing but blame.
This is'the way of the world
and do not complain
The anxiety that is felt over
the situation today has paraIy-
zed business so that many com
merciaI houses close their doors
long before the uspaa hours
Groups of people gathered on
the street discussing the situa-
ton, but they quietly dispersed
by the remainder of the police
or military authorities that
they were violating orders by
congregating in public thor
onghfares. Everything posi-
Die is being dcne to keep the
city qniet.
In the different business sec
tons this afternoon meetings
we're held. A number of mer-
chants expressed their views
on the crisis, the general opin-
ion being that the order for the
recall of the captain general
might. be expected almost at
any moment During the af-
ternoon General Marin, who is
looked upon as one of the most
able Spanish commanders, ar
rived here from the front, hav-
ing been sent for by the cap
tain general, and had a long
