Mexican orange growers, it Is said, are

they can grow as fine oranges as are
grown in Florida. They have never be-

to this country. This year they will send
to the United States about 100, 600 boxes
The report is TINT preparations are being
made to grow oranges on an extensive
scale.

The Boston Advertiser thinks it re-
markable fact that there has never in the
history of Presidential elections in this
country one single instance of the cast
ing of an electoral vote contrary to the
implied pledge of honor made by the
elector who accepted his nomination at
the hands Of party convention. We
fail to see anything remarkable about
that. 1t is the most natural thing in
the world fer people to keep their pledges,
expressed or implied, when e1they are
acIing right in the face and eyes OF
the people to whom those pledges have
hcen given. If some elector had proved
false, if some elector chosen to vote for
a particular candidate hal stood up in

CURRENT COMMENT.
LET THE Law ALONE.
Gardner Reporter-Journal.

Gov. Powers in his message cidn't ex-
aotly recommend that any chuDge should
be made In the ballot law. but he was
willing that something should he done.
The only way TO decrease the mum Der OF
defective ballots is to let the law alone,
ami let people get accustomed to 1t.
There are some who will make mistakes
whatever the plan is, but the present
aystem seems to be about as simple as
any can DO that will accomplish the ends
desired. and the best thing to do with it
is to let it alone. The expense might
perhaps be red uced little by doing away
with some of the superfiuous clerks, and
the advertising of the sample ballots, but
the ballot itself had letter be given a
little longer trial.

ROMAN CATHOLICS AND THE
SCHOOLS.

1t was developed at the hearing on the
city charter last night that there was
strong feeling among Roman Catholic
citizens that the section Of the new
charter which provides for the election of
school committee on general ticket in
stead as at present by wards, was
especially designed to keep any one of
their faith FROM getting on to the board.
MI. Charles Mccarthy expressed that
idea III language that could admit of no
misunderstanding and SO did Mr.. Joseph
McGowan. Mr. Chapman denied that
any such consideration had weighed with
the commission in making the change.
Mr.. Chapman, no doubt, stated
the case exactly as it was, for the COM
mission was mads up of broad minded
men, who would not try to shut out
from any department. of the city govern
ment any man who was fit and competent
because of any religious views he might
hold.
Nevertheless inasmuch as the feeling
exists we should be inclined to defer to
it TO the extent of amending the new
charter SO as to provide that the school
committee should be elected as at present.
by wards; and we should do it for the
reason that it is unwise to give any body
of citizens any reasonable or plausi BILE
excuse for being hostile to our public
school system. Whatever may be the fact
with the governing powers of the Roman
Catholic church, we believe that the
grent mass Of the laity approve of our
heart in sympathy with it, and we
should be very slow to ALLEVIATE that
sympathy by any action that could be
construed as an attempt to disassociate
them from participation from its manage
meut SO long as they manifest no purpose
to disturb or alter its fundamental
principles. If there be any element in the
Roman Catholic church which is dis
posed to destroy or radically change our
public school system, it's hands will sure
ly be strengthened by any action by the
municipality which can be construed as
want of confidence in the patriotic
Intentions OF the great mass of Catholic
citizens. 1t will be the part of wisdom
to assume that all our citizens. no matter
Of what religious denomination, are well
disposed to. and take pride in, our pu bile
schools, and not commit any act or make
any arrangement that can BIZ
construed to the contrary. II
that assumption is not sound
the fact win In due time appear, and
there will be no danger in this
town that our public schools will be
injured in the meantime.

Tho new Chief Justice Of Kansas has de-
clared that the rights of the user are
paramount to the rights of the owner.
It is n Ut surprising, therefore, that his
former law partner should draft law
acoentuating this remarkable idea. 1t
provides that no person shall own more
lnna than homestead if others desire
the surplus for homestead, and if a
tender of a reasonable sum be refused,
the intending purchaser may go to the
courts, where the jury shall fix the price.
