School Examiner.

1t is drawing around toward
the time when another member
will grace the county board Of
school examiners, and we suppose
our suggestions will go for naught
with the present Probate Judge,
but we wish to reason with his
honor little. Were he a democrat
we would simply tell him what to
do and he would DO it, but he being
republican we can but suggest,
and our suggestion may serve to
declare our position when we get
our new Probate Judge next Feb
ruary, though the application will
then be made to worthy Of our
party. We have no objections to
the appointing power reaching out
into the rural districts among his
constituents, and selecting whom
he thinks would be the most suit.
able persons to occupy about two
places in three on the board of eX-
amiECrs, but it is a fact true on the
face Of it, that these teachers buried
for six months of the year in the
school room where they are the
lone light, and from themselves can
receive no light to themselves in
the line of furtherauce to the stan
dard of education, are not prepared
and are not expected to mount up
to the height of perfection as eX.
aminers and judges of the educa-
tional attainments Of their peers.
Therefore these facts being para
mount, it would seem necessary to
balance the board with one quite
abovethe standard, by opportuni-
ties no doubt, thus to elevate rather
than TO lowe the standard. A
superintendent of union public
schools who is efficient, is much
above the average of educators.
He must be to hold the position
that he does. He is usually CEN
trally located as at Logan, and in
close touch with the great educa-
tors of the state. He has personal
achuain tance with the State School
Commissioner, which officer looks
to him for reports Of the progress
Of the county in educational lines.
Should that progress be slow and
the standard low, he must needs
reluctantly report such, yet power
less to elevate. Were he an eX-
aminer Of the county, thus in close
touch with the teachers, and could
further their views Of dicipline, he
would thus be as medium through
which the State department would
be in close touch with the rural
teacher. We say, we offer these
suggestions to his honor, the Pro-
bate Judge, not as a partizan or
wire puller, but as plain, blunt
citizen, looking to the good of the
education Of the county and the
much needed elevation of our
county educational standard. We
are slow in Hooking County, not
to the blame Of those who serve US
as 6Xaminers, for their opportuni-
ties avebeen such as not to enable
the N to be higher, but because the
powers that be often look more to
personal favors to be bestowed,
Than TO the qualification, the better
ment and elevation of our standard.

THE RUsSI4N GEMS rfS.

A census is to be taken next January in Russia, and elaborate preparations are being made for 1t. Special officials have been sent into all the provinces to organize the necessary local commit tees. The task is gigantic one, and, considering the poor material with which the authorities will have to work, the difficulties are very great The Holy Synod has issued instructions allowing the clergy and their assistants to cooperate 1t is also proposed to make use of military officers, school teachers, and members of all local in- stitutions throughout the country. Among the peasantry 1t will not be easy to find intelligent persons fit for collecting accurate statistics, and re- sort will be had, as usual, to the secre- taries of arrondissements, who are in the habit of furnishing figures, as the saying goes among them, by the simple process of staring at the ceiling" In the large towns university students and variety of other persons will be employed as collectors The greatest trouble is looked for among the natives of Asiatic Russia, who are least of all likely to understand and appreciate this numbering of the people. The question of expense is also one for careful con- sideration. The total amount to be all lotted will give only little more than $35 for each district agent, with ten to fifteen assistants, who, will have to deal with from 250o0 to 30,0O0 inhabitants Such a small sum will not suffice to pay all expenses during the fortnight which the work is expected to last. A few of the local zemstvos have proposed to contribute towards the cost while others will do so only on condition that they may be allowed to make use of the statistics in their respective dis tricts. In St. Petersburg a large house has been fitted up as the chief office of the special commission

THE MESSAGE.


 President Cleveland came in like a lion and he has roared several times since. He is apparently going out like lamb. There is no war in his mes sage. There isn't even enough hint of war to put wheat up on, and those who have been short of wheat know it doesn't take much to do that. His talk about the Cuban affair is peaceable and sen- sible. He doesn't think the time to pitch into Spain has come yet, and he isn't at all certain that it ever will Meanwhile he thinks it we'll for this country to mind it's own business and keep an eye open for emergencies.
 As there is nothing startling about Cuba in the message, so there is noth- ing startling in it about anything. It is not startling to find the President still believer in the tariff for de- felt" He cheerfully says of it: ''I be- lieve our present tariff law, if allowed a fair opportunity, will, in the near fu- | ture, yield a revenue which, with rea- sonably economical expenditures, will overcome all deficiencies" Happy thought
 Not the least interesting part of the message is that wherein the President tackles the great and difficult Trust problem. He doesn't come any nearer it's solution than some others have. He thinks the decision of our highest court | renders it quite doubtful whether the evils of trusts and monopolies can be adequately treated through federal ac- | ton unless they seek directly and pur- | posely to include in their objects trans portation or intercourse between States | or between the United States and for l eign countries. But he adds: It does not follow, however, that this is the | limit of the remedy that may be ap- piled Even though it may be found | that federal authority is not broad enough to fully reach the case, there can be no doubt of the power of the several States to act effectively in the premises, and there should be no reason to doubt their willingness to judicious- | ly exercise such power
 The message is not as dry reading as usual because it hasn't as much as usual concerning the details of the de- partments But it contains little of in- terest, and there are not many Cleve- land phrases in it. Still, there are some good words. For instance: Con stant devotion to the interests of our confiding fellow countrymen.'

FASHION NOTES.
Youthful Millinery

Little girls hats often follow the fashions of mammals headwear, and are almost always of wide brim, though there are some jaunty cap af- fairs suitable for school and for skat-
 ing and coasting, if ever the weather gives chance at these sports. Though the little lass is supposed to wear her pretty hair smoothly braided that it may be unbroken and glossy when she is big girl ready to come out yet many mammas haven't the heart to bind the soft tresses closely and the little maid whose hair flies free Is al- most sure to have pretty hats. There are bewitching affairs of pleated vel vet in great saucered picture shapes. with long nodding plumes sweeping guard above the shadowy brims, but many and many wee girl whose mamma thinks picture hats out of

BEHIND THE TIMES.

Since the election there has been some southern newspapers, but there has been nothing more curious than an elab- crate article which appears in the New Orleans States. The States copies from a Chicago paper a story of the escape from the South of Lyman Field, now of Kansas, before the war, at a time when he was threatened with lynching for having in his possession a copy of the Herald of Freedom, an abolition paper published at that time in Kansas With this story for it's text the States launches out with Q, column of panegy- ric on the institution of slavery and of
 nvective against the Northern move nent which culminatedIin in its abolition. Among other things it says: Indeed, the influences of slavery were of the most chivalrous and ennobling charac- ter, and the greatest writers upon this question Of slavery nave shown that the only real and substantial basis of d republic is an aristocracy of races, founded upon this institution. This fact is shown by the high and naughty spirit of the Southern people under the old regime; by their princely hospital ity; their cultivation, and by the fact that though in a numerical minority in the country, yet for more than seventy five years they constituted the highest statesmanship and exercised the largest control over the legislation of the fed eral government.
 This impressive passage is followed by a bitter attack upon the orators, statesmen and authors who were con- spicuous in the anti-slavery era. The leaders of the movement against the extension of slavery are charged with a purpose to organize a servile war in the South. Uncle Toms Cabin,'' we are told.

The miss of this picture would surely con- slider her hat a picture" one some thing to be treasured It was pale green felt with a wide dropping brim and flat crown. The latter was drap- ed with the same shade of satin, which lay out on the brim and formed deep puffs. The only other garniture con- sisted of two long white ostrich plumes placed near the front. If desired the underside of the brim may be faced with velvet, and a large scarlet hat trimmed in this manner with black would look well.
 The Scotch cap with its ribbons at the back is shown for little girls of eight to twelve. Adorable old-fashion- ed great bonnets of quilted velvet are planned for wee maids, and down their cosy cavern the dear little face nestles, framed in submerged frill of muslin that must come out every day or so to be replaced by a fresh one. For girls about fourteen, and even as old as six teen, nothing is more popular than a felt sailor with a wide plaid ribbon about the crown. The ribbon is knot ted into outstanding loops short and wide at the sides, and among the loops to the left are placed some cock $ feathers or little bunch of plumes.

Some of the Mississippi papers ex-
 press the opinion that some other States, in the management of their con- victs, might take a lesson from their State. The convicts in Mississippi not only sustain themselves, but make money for the State every year. The board of control does not regard a profit as its chief aim, but last year the cash balance to it's credit was about S40,000 Mississippi has bought about 5000 acres of good farming land and rented or leased much more, and upon this land its 300 convicts are worked, humanely but diligently, so as to secure the best results. The Jackson Clarion Ledger sees no reason why other States cannot profit by Mississippi's experience and carry on farming oper- ations for profit. It says: Tn case
