There are at present over 5000 pupils
on the rolls of the public schools, as COM

past four years the percentage OF increase
in the attendance amounts to nearly so
per cent.
The greatest increase in the attendance
has been in the high school department,
where there are now 115 pupils. Four
years ago there were but an average at

this has now been done away with.
The attendance in the grammar depart
ment has also very materially increased
The percentage of increase in the gram

thing for silver, and that It Is more than
probable that several OF the greatest com
tries would be quick to follow the Uui.cd
States should we boldly take the initiative
in rchabili;ating the metal. The democracy
has driven the republicans to an admission
of the dcsirability OF restoring silver to an
equality with gold, and the United States
would in all human probability drive Eu-
rope to similar admission by free coinage
here.
Tho commission now in Europe will have
the best wishes OF all the friends Of silver
everywhere. II, contrary 10 expectations,
an international conference should be Sc
cured and an international agreement be
perfected, the democracy would have as
much cause to rejoice as would It's political
rival, for the accomplished fact would be
duo primarily to democratic contention and
a complete vindication OF the much abused
tree silvertee" The work OF the COM
mission from this time on will be watched
with more interest.

which Great Britain has been acting in

tribunal for the preservation of the seals.

award made in Paris between the United
States and England. certain provisions for
Tho Joint protection OF the Boring sea seals
were included The United States have
maintained a fleet of five vessels in Alas
kan waters FOR the purpose OF carrying out
the tribunals regulations in good faith
England, on the other hand. has kept but
two vessels in such service one a mere
yacht. In the meantime poachers have
been so active that this country has been
unable single-handed TO prevent the rapid
destruction OF the seals and has at last
been compelled TO address a rather sharp
note TO Great Britain virtually charging
