Mamma, was that sugar-plum you just gave me?" asked little Mabel. "No, dear, it was one of Dr. Ayers Pills.'' Please, may I have another?" 'sNot now, dear; one of those nice pills is all you need at present, because every dose is effective.''

The convention of public

The convention of public school
teachers and officers now being held
in the different states are not likely to
receive as much attention as they de-
serve. They are really of more inter
est and Importance than. the political
meetings to which the people give
preference of consideration; and it is
to be regretted for substantial reasons
that so much indifference exists with
regard to their proceedings 1t is tite
to say that the education of the mass
es is indispensable to the security and
progress of our system of government.
The idea of popular sovereignty car
ries with it the implication of popular
intelligence and gradual increase of
the aggregate sum of useful knowl
edge. At least nine-tenths of the
children of the country obtain only
such education as is provided by the
public schools and it follows that the
influence of these schools in the do
main of citizenship and in all the fields
of ordinary employment surpasses
that of any other one agency. The
functions of the teachers have a
direct and serious relation to the com
mon welfare and prosperity. They are
not less worthy of support and honor,
when their work is we'll done, than the
statesman who make our laws and the
commanders who win our battles.
Their service is of a kind that affects
the very foundations of society, and
goes to the shaping of national charac-
ter and national destiny, not in one re-
spect alone, but in an inclusive and
complete sense.

The Mayor of Chicago attended a
banquet of the millionaires of that
city the other night and surprised them
by telling them that they were princi-
pally responsible for the evils and
scandals of municipal government.
There would be no bribe-takers at one
end of the dirty rope, he reminded
them, if there were no bribe-givers at
the other end; and it was not the
classes who drink beer instead Of
champagne and smoked pipes instead
of the best cigars, he went on to
say, who were engaged in buying
street railroad franchise and in getting
assessors to estimate blooded horses at
S25 each and diamond necklaces at
$40 for purposes of taxation. His
frankness was hardly consistent with
the hilarious object of the occasion;
but nobody ventured to challenge the
correctness of his statement.

The only change in the court house,
that of sheriff, was effected Tuesday,
VIM. s. Armstrong moving out and
Sheriff J. ii. Jones taking possession.
1t IS not necessary for the REPUBLI-
CAN to say that Mr.. Armstrong has
made an acceptable officer, discharging
the duties of the office in an able and
conscientious way, that fact is known
to all. In regard to thenew sheriff we
are confident that he will prove a pains
taking and competent official, nothing
but his politics being Objectionable.
AS stated in our last issue Patrick H.
Carolan will be Mr.. Jones deputy.
Taylor LangWOrthy has been close
student of the economies of heating
this winter and we venture the asser-
ton that what Mr.. Langworthy don't
know about the subject is not worth
mentioning. In the early fall he
realized the fact that patrons of the
barber must be kept warm in order to
more readily be Worked-upon, and he
bought a. bargain a fine Oil heater.
The causeses which lead to the Danish
ment of this stove for one burning
soft coal are not given out for publica-
ton, but banished it was. The soft
coal stove of the Oak type was in
stalled and Mr.. Langworthy imagined
his troubles were over. For a few
days it worked, but lately it has failed
signally and its owner has added
largely to his store of knowledge as to
how to make it draw, and now just at
dawn every morning the pipe is taken
down, carefully treated to a dry rub,
and replaced. The problem is solved,
but less laborious receipt would be a
favor.

THE VENEZUELAN INQUIRY.

The idea seems to prevail in certain
quarters that the appointment of the
Venezuelan Commission commits our
government to II practical denial of the
justice of Great Britain's claims in the
case. This grave mistake, and one
that needs to be promptly corrected.
The attitude of our government is not
that of an arbitrary adjuster Of the dis
pute between the two countries i'm
mediately concerned. 1t has not in
any sense espoused the cause of Vene-
ezuela, or assumed the authority to
say that she is in the right. She may
be in the wrong, and it is for her to
show that she is not, if she can, the
same privilege being conceded to Great
Britain. AS to the substantial merits
of the controversy, our government oc-
cupies neutral position, and has not
expressed any definite opinion in that
respect. 1t has only insisted that the
matter should be submitted to arbitra-
ton. with view to averting a possible
appeal to arms. In secretary Olney's
statement of the case to Lord Sails
bury, the right or purpose on our part
to settle the boundary dispute is eX-
pressly disclaimed and Great Britain
is simply asked to permit her Claims TO
be passed upon by a competent tribu-
nal, in the interest of peace, and as a
reasonable method of adjusting a diff
Guilty with smaller nation. That is
as far as our government has gone,
and beyond that its course is to be de-
termined by future events.
There is nothing in the appoint
ment of the commission which can be
held to favor or prejudice either side
of the matter as between Great Brit.
ain and Venezuela. The investiga-
ton is to cover the whole subject in
an indepen dent and impartial way, for
the purpose of ascertaining the exact
facts. 1t is not to be assumed that
the decision will be against the claims
of Great Britain. That remains to be
seen, and will depend upon the infor-
nation to be obtained by the commits
sion. In the event of such decision,
the appeal for arbitration will be re-
peated in friendly spirit, and then, if
it shall again be denied, a new situa-
ton will be presented involving a new
kind of obligation. Our government
can never consent to the theory that
a European nation has the right to
curtail the territory of weaker ma
ton on the Western Hemisphere with
out arbitration and by reason of SUI
perior military power. Such an extern
sion of European authority an posses
siOns would be inimical to the safety
and welfare of the United States, and
would be resisted to the last extremity.
The Monroe doctrine would apply to a
contingency of that kind, in other
words. and it would be enforced at any
cost. Bnt as the case now stands,
there is,nO threat against Great Britain
on the one hand, and no promise of as
sistance to Venezuela Oh the other
hand. The commission will perform
its work honestly and thoroughly, and
it is to be hoped that nothing more
will be necessary to insure proper
settlement of the difficulty Globe

An Old Colonial BIockhouse.

Among the attractions of the town of
Bourne, Mass, are two historic cellars.
One was dug by the Plymouth colony
and the other by the Dutch traders.
These cellars lie side by side, and the
structures built over them were filed
with goods so necessary for the comfort
of the early pilgrims as we'll as the
Dutch. The pilgrims needed manufac-
tured goods such as the Hollander had
for sale and the Dutch required prod
ucts such as the colony could supply.

The corn crop of 1895 is now put at
2,151,139,000 bushels by the department
of agriculture. This is 200,OOOOOO be-
low the estimates of the middle of the
year. 1t is record breaking yield,
however. The only crops which came
near it were those of 1889, 2,112,892 900
bushels, and of 1891, 1850, $4,000. The
aggregate cereal yield of 1895 also
beats all records. This means cheap
food and plenty of it until the next
harvest, at least.

We today ask all national banks
whether, if President Cleveland makes
a call to replenish the gold reserve, if
they will consider patriotic duty to
take bonds on the three per cent basis.
Will you invest and to what extent?
Reply prepaid. The WORLD.
1t is altogether probable that the
banks will not be heavy purchasers of
bonds owingsto the fact that there is
very little in it for them and would
probably be an expense. The Audubon
bank replied to the telegram that they
would purchase only on condition that
they be permitted to issue bank notes
for the full face value of the bonds in
place of the 80 per cent as the law now
provides.
