Scientifically trained schoolmarms in

Babylon, L. l., q young teacher under
took to punish stout boy pupil. While
thus engaged the boys Oldest sister,
who is larger than the teacher, dashed
upon the scene, and the two combined to
reverse the order of discipline. But the
schoolmarm seized the girls hands,
tripped her up, sat on her, and then the
boy howled for mercy. Evidently there
are some things taught in a normal
course that are not illustrated at the
graduating exercises.

The contest for the Office OF Postmas-
ter of the city of Bowling Green has
finally been settled by the recommend
alton OF Editor Brewer for the position
The contest had become rather warm
with several candidates in the field,

tie down to business and begin making
arrangements for winning campaign
in 1898.

American manufactures continue to
be popular abroad despite the assertion
that protection would make them un-
popular. The London Economist, of
recent date, says that England is be-
coming a large purchaser of American
manufactures, especially in iron and
steel lines, and that English manutac-
turers must cheaper their cost of pro-
ductiou if they are to hold their ground
against the American competitor.

MR.. HILLS LIMITATIONS

Mr.. David b.. Hill emerged briefly from
the obscurity to which his characteristic
caution during the campaign consigned
him to speak piece at Oswego Oh Mon
day. His mission was to teach his hear
ers the Whole Duty of Patriots, and the
code of patriotism which he formulated
may be expressed in a phrLse--"If you
are robbed by trusts. by monopolies, by
tariff grabbcrs, by usurers, by the pos
sessers of natural opportunities from the
use of which you are excluded, make no
protest or you will be demagogue.
Rather settle down industriously and
work harder, so that they may rob you of
more.h
1t will he interesting to watch the
efforts of Mr.. Hill to climb back into
political prominence upon II scalfolding
of platitudes. TO him the soporous plat
itude is the embodiment of all wisdom.
No other man has so neat a talent for
saying IN undisputed thing in such II
solemn way. He rises to the highest pin

step toward public ownership of water

NOT THE MAN.

Now that it is certain that Mr.. Ellyson
will not be the candidate Of tho Demo-
cratic party for governor, IL scheme has
been set on foot to secure for him the
nomination for lieutenant governor. On
the political principle that half loaf is
with Democratic politics rs eNemplified
under the management of Mr.. Ellyson,
this might be we'll enough, hut when it
is remembered that the fight waged
against that gentleman in his candidacy
for governor has been on account of his
financial views and because he is ma
chine politician, the whole plan falls to
the ground as utterly incomp atible with
the wishes os..the majority of the people
of this State, and wholly at variance with
the demands Of the situation. Against
thc personal record of Mr.. Ellyson The
Times has not n word to Say; but when he
comes before the people of Virg inia ask
ing them to elevate him to the highest or
second highest office in the commonwealth
it must most strenuously object. Con-
sistency is jewel of such rare value in
human nature and human conduct that
we are willing to allow for many lapses
public life; but when II man can deliber-
ately reverse an opinion of to-day with
the hope of obtaining n benefit on to-
morrow, we naturally regard with suspi-
cion his sudden change of faith. AS a
gold Democrat and q man of excellent
personal qualities Mr.. Ellyson had our
respect, even when we were opposed to his
financial views; but, when at the dictate
of party policy, he subsequently SUBSIDIZED
to ths. views which he had but lately de-
nouIced, we wondered at the change,
and while we wondered our con fitlence in
his political sincerity was blown to the
winds. A man who can change his views
upon Vita principle of government
when paramount issues are at stake is an
unsafe guide under the most favorable of
circumstances; but when he swallows the
dose and pronounces it palatable and
pleasant,we must either conclude that he
is not himself or that he never really had
any opinion on the subject worthy of
consideration. Such is the condition in
which Mr.. Ellyson has placed himself
Either rs candidate for governor or
lieutenant governor he is unworthy of

him place on the ticket would be evil
