The Unenviable Situation Of . School Su-
perintendent In Indiana
Professor W. R. Snyder, superintend-
emit Of public schools at Muncie. n d
finds himself in the unenviable position
Of arbitrator of a peculiar trouble be-
tween the teachers and the parents OF
the school children.
1t is a custom for the various classes
to hold Christmas exercises each year
Just before the holidays. This year, just
after the exercises closed, the teachers in
the lower grades informed the children
that their enterprising papas and NAM
mas had been imposing on them by max
ing them believe there is a Santa Claus,
whereas he is only a mythical creation.
The children went home with aching
hearts and with tears III their eyes, feel
ing that Christmas had lost its charm
for them. A few were SO gloomy and
respondent they refused to have any
thing to do with their presents.
The parents arose i'll their indignation
in a body. They went to superintendent
Snyder and after explaining the situa-
tion to him demanded that the heart
less" pedagogues be dismissed. The su-
perintendent is perplexed as to what to
do.
The teachers intimate that a strike il
not improbable should he dismiss the
offenders. On the other hand, if he docs
not the parents say they will compel
the school board through public senti,
ment to discharge them. -~7 y

Saws lie Il Not an Active Candidate for
President.
WASHINGTON, April 7.-Secretary
Carlisle has written the following let
ter to the chairman of the Kentucky
Democratic state central committee on
the subject of his candidacy for, the
presidential nomination ut the Chicago
convention:
Your favor Of March 30. in which
you say in substance that many of my
friends in Kentucky and elsewhere de-
sire me to become u candidate before
the approaching national Democratic
convention for ~sOminatlon for the office
Of president and requesting me to give
some authoritative or definite express
sion upon the subject, was duly re-
ceived and has been maturely con-
sidered. Many communications upon
the same subject and similar import
have been received from friends i'll diff
ferent parts of the country, and, while
very grateful for these numerous
Expressions of Confidence and Esteem
upon the part of my Democratic fellow
citizens, / have not been able to reach
the conclusion that the existing condi-
tions require me to comply with their
requests by authorizing them to an.
nounce me as a candidate for the presi.
dental nomination. While l feel a
profound interest in the welfare of my
party, | am much more concerned
about its declaration of principles than
in its selection of candidates, because,
in my opinion, its failure or success at
the election, as well as its capacity for
useful service in the country in the
future, depend upon the position it
takes or omits to take upon the public
questions now engaging the attention
of the people, and especially the ques-
tions affecting the monetary system OF
the country ard the character and
amount of taxation to be imposed upon
our citizens. Its position upon these
and other subjects having been agreed
upon and clearly and distinctly an
nounced, the convention ought to have
no difficulty in selecting
An Acceptable Candidate
who will fairly represent its views;
and. in order that its deliberations
may be embarrassed as little as possible
by the contentious of rival aspirants
and their friends, | think my duty to
the party will be best performed by de-
Ginning to participate i'll a contest fer
the nomination. The obligations as
sumed when l accepted my present
official position require me to devote
my entire time and attention to the
public interests committed to my
charge, and l shall continue to dis
charge the duties imposed upon
me to the best Of my ability, and if, in
the opinion of my fellow Democrats i'll
Kentucky, my services entitle me to
their commentator and approval,
would regard their Endorsement of my
public ourse as an ample reward for
the little | have been able to accomplish
in behalf of honest administration and
q sound financial policy.

ENGLAND AND SPAIN.
Rumor That They Have Formed an
Alliance.

Rumor That They Have Formed an
&C.
New YORK, April IA dispatch to
The World from London says: The
positive statement came to your CORE
spOndent from a leading financier of the
city (the money making part of Lon
don that England has concluded a
treaty Of alliance with Spain. His final
message was, Within 10 days Europe
will be startled by the official an
nouncemcnt of this fact"
Continuing, The World correspond.
ent says; Il give this statement with
portance warrants, pointing out only
that the sensitive money interests of
the city are often better Informed on
such matters than is any any other
part Of the community, except the
highest official authority, and that my
informant is now. and tor many years
has been, associated with leading tinan-
cial enterprises.
Such a treaty would have a vastly
important bearing upon the continent
tai situation 1t would have u com
mensurately important Tearing upon
the Cuban question i'll the United
States.
Opposed to Americas Position.
Il quoted to my informant the
statement in the New York news
papers that the Washington govern.
ment has received a seml-official init
nation from the British ministry that
Great Britain would approve of the
recognition by the United States of
Cuban belligerency.
His reply was that exactly the con-
trary is the case, that in the first place
the Salisbury ministry is disposed to do
anything it can with safety and in
reason to check the ~pretensions of the
American government to interfere in
either West Indian or South American
INDEPENDENTLY in the West Indies,
where Great Britain herself has most
important interests-and that, Sec
ondly, Spain by this treaty has made
important concessions to England in
return for the latter's more or less
active support Of Spain in her conflict
with the Cuban rebels.
How England Is Repaid.
II can furnish no further details of
this alleged treaty than that, according
to my informant, it will include giving
to Great Britain the right to harbor
and retit her fleets III the Mediter-
ranean ports of Spain. The harbor of
Cartagena is one of the finest ON the
Mediterranean and would shelter the
entire British navy.
The Importance of all Anglo Span
ish alliance to Great Britain is obvious.
Neither Gibralter nor Malta-Eng-
lands only two ports on the Mediter-
ranean-is capable of either harboring
or retitting a fleet, but with both the
Italian and Spanish ports thrown open
to the British navy, the French feet at
Toulon would be at England's mercy,
and Russia could hardly make a juno
ton from the Black sea with the ships
of her French ally.
"Such are the apparent reasons why
Great Britain should wish to make
such an alliance as above indicated
