both very shortly there is no telling what
PETER will introduce into the Senate. or

building from the Rocky Mountains to
Lake Superior a stone wall. so high that
cold waves from Manitoba could not climb
over it, and so strong that Billiards and
cyclones could not blow it down. He
thinks a cold wave wind is not more than
half mile high, hence the fence need
not be higher than that. It would take
some few billions of dollars to build the
wall, of course. But PETER could fix all
that with half a dozen scratches of his
pen, putting in his cold wave fence hill q

FIoridn nnd sound MONEY.

We don't know any state in the union
that is more profoundly interested in
having the currency Of the country kept
sound than Florida The great bulk of
what she has to sell finds a market in
this country. If the currency of the
country should be degraded by making
the coinage of silver unlimited at the
ratio of 16 to l the prices she would re-
ceive for her fruits and vegetables would
be just about what they are now. There
would be no increase in the price of any
of them. For the truth of this statement
it is only necessary to refer to the prices
of products in Mexico that are confined
to the home markets.
But the kind of currency the people of
Florida would receive for their fruits
and vegetables would have only half the
purchasing power of the currency they
now receive-that is, only half the pur-
chasing power for great many of the
articles which practically amount to the
necessaries of life. Therefore, under I'M
limited silver coinage at the ratio of 16
to l they would be a great deal worse off
than they are now
1t is an easy matter for the Florida
people to decide whether a sound or a
degraded currency would be the best for
them. The fact upon which to reach a
decision are all available.
Senator CAN will soon be among them
preaching a degraded currency and hos
tility to the railroads. If Florida follows
Mr.. CAN she will go backward. She should
follow such men as Chlpley and Cooper.
They are progressive. They believe in
sound money and justice to railroads. They
don't believe in allowing the railroads
to have all they want. but they believe
in giving them what they are entitled to.
If we are not greatly mistaken Florida
is going to put herself in the list of states
that favor progress and sound money.
If she does, she will part company with
Senator Call.

OUR PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

It hag been plainly demonstrated that good square business management would reduce the cost of cW public schools in this t3wa 81500 at l;-45t for the next year and give us on the vqh0la better schools. The reduction actually made in the esti- mates for the next year amounts to $l00! The majority rules. That is right. But the majority, no less than the minor
 ty, is subject to the laws of nature and must reckon with public 0pnion. The power to do anything does not in itself make it right to do It, even when it is done according to law. Public office s 8 public trust. The men who spend the money which comes from the pockets Of the taxpayers are bound by every consid- eratiJn to be fair and equitable. The mi nority in this case simply crntcHded for equ@Iity. Privileges of schooling should bo aS near alike as possible in ali parts of the town. Several small schools should be closed because the cost per capita is eECravagant; and because the appropri- ations in such cases are too small to in- sure good teachers, as a rule. We sand,

MISS WRIGHT GRADUATES WITH Bogoas.

MISS WRIGHT GRADUATES WITH HOEORS.
 Miss Wright, d4ugh5ar of Iiav o. 0. Wright, has graduated from the high
 school at Taunton, Mass, with houora, | having taken the four years course f. l ,hrce years. "The Man About Town,
 writing in The Taunton Herald says of | Miss Wright: "I was surprised to learn
 that Miss Lucy Wright would take no l pHrt in the graduation exercises of the nigh school, case unprecedented for a 'ch0lar who went through the course and had an average of 97, and who is withql SO talented that she could have added greatly to the program. Miss Wright and Miss Grace DoaR had the same aver age and were tied for the honor of giving the salutatory address, which after the valedictory has been assigned is given to the pupil who stands highest in the class
 The two girls were bosom friends, "chums,' to use g. hackneyed expression, and Miss Wright magnanimously with drew in Miss Deans favor. Miss Wright was then mentioned for the third place, the Reclamation, but here was another difficulty. Miss Adelaide Carey had an average of9G for four years. Miss Wright had been in school but three years, not taxing her freshman course here. Knock ing off Miss Carey's first year her aver age was O7, and Miss Wright again de- clined the honor, withdrawing in favor of Miss Carey. In the same manner she has stepped out of the rest of the pro- gram, declining everything in a truly generous spirit which must have cost something to an ambitious, gifted girl who has worked hard and successfully. l If have ever met nobility in my walks among the people of the city of Taunton | that exceeds this do not remember it. | and the young lady deserves for her ad mirable qualities thus displayed as bright | a crown of laurels as was ever given to | graduate of Taunton High school"
 The teachers, however, insisted that | Miss Wright should have part in the | program. The Herald, in speaking of | her part in the graduating exercises, says: tone of the best features of the program was an original metrical version | of the "Parting of Hector and Andro- mache," written and delivered by Miss Lucy Wright. Her translation though | arranged into blank verse, had lost little of the force that 1t had in the original tongue and is high tribute to what the course of study of our high school fur nishes to the pupils"
 Miss Wright enters Wellesley next fall on certificate of graduation which also admits to Harvard.
