MONROE SCHOOL REPORT.


There has been an increase in the length
OF the school year of two weeks, making the
whole amount of schooling twenty eight
weeks for each school. There has also been
an Increase in the average attendance for the
year over that of the year preceding this
This is sufficient evidence to prove that the
consolidation of our schools has not caused
loss of school privileges to the scholars of
the town.
An earnest effort has been made to secure
only competent teachers for our schools,
and, while some terms have not been so
| successful as 1 would like to have them, the
work of the year has been, on the whole, a
success.
The Superintendent here gives a detailed
account of the work in each school and con-
cudes as follows:
1t is the object of school work to train
boys and girls in such way that they wi II

and scholars the Importance of keeping a

Editorial Notes.

The Japanese government has shocked
the silver advocates of the United States
remembered that Japan was pointed out
during the recent campaign as an instance
of the remarkable prosperity of a silver
using country. Now Japan adopts the
gold standard at the ratio of b to l. leav-
ing China and the Spanish American coun-
tries about the only people on the silver
standard basis. This action on the part
of Japan is the worst blow which the sill
Yer schemers have received since the 9th
of November, 1896.
The protective tariff idea is gaining
foothold permanently in every party. Sen
ators McEnery, Gallery, Smith, and sew
eral others on the Democratic side of the
Senate are likely to support the Repubi-
can tariff measure. Populists Kyle, Heit-
field, and one OF two others of that party
are, it is understood, likely to vote for
protection. OF the silver Republicans,
practically ali are in principle protection
lists. Thus the great principle of the Re-
publican party, that which has been the
leading thought in its declarations since
its existence, is coming to be gradually
recognized and accepted by members of
all parties.
Great Britain has another evidence of
the distress of free trade in the expert

The gold production of the United
States Was last year the largest of any

Dingley Bill YIN Not Reich the Senate
ms de Of Two Weeks.


WASHINGTON, April l2.-The Repub-
lican senators who are acting as a sub
committee of the senate committee OF
finance in the preparation of the tariff
bill are inclined in their estimates now
preparing to postpone the date OF the
presentation to the senate a little be-
yOnd the limit originally fixed by them.
They express the opinion that 1t may
be two weeks from the present time
before it will be in shape to be report.
ed. The committee is Tlaking very
satisfactory progress with the bill, and
many of the schedules have received
final attention. None of ahe more
ruzzling questions, however, have been
disposed of. The committee has deemed
il wiscst to :eave the rates on
wool, sugar, hides, coal, ore, lum-
Der and all other important
subjects until the simpler matters al
be determined. While no detailed in
formation can be secured, it is under
stood that many reductions in duties
have been made. The disposition of
the committee is to make quite a gem
eral~ reduction, but this is found to be a
task not easy Of accomplishment be-
of the insistence of senators upon
having the strongest protection for the
articles in which they are particularly
interested. There are, indeed, many
demands for increases, and some of
these are so pressing that the members
Of the committees are finding them
selves considerably embarrassed be-
tween their desire to satisfy senators
whose votes will be essential to the
Success Of the bill and their conviction
that the interests of the party demand
reduction rather than increase.

o'clock 4. m, at his home in this city,
l05 Maryland avenue northeast.
The senator had been in poor health
for several years, and for at least two
years past had taken little part in the
proceedings in the senate. He had
been a constant sufferer from rheuma-
tism of the heart, and his friends
therefore had come to expect that they
might hear of his death suddenly. The
last reports Of him, however, were
that he was showing some improve
ment, and his death, therefore, while
not entirely unexpected, came with
the ~suddenness of a shock.
At the time Of his retirement from
the senate. the Tall Sycamore of the
Wabash, as he was a~ffectionately called
by his devoted followers in the Hoosier
state, was the ranking Demo- the
finance committee and by virtur his
position the nominal leader at least of
his party on the floor of the senate on
tariff and financial questions. He was
not very active, however, owing to his
i'll health, in the work on the Wilson
tariff bill, most of the numerous senate
amendments to this bill and its final
passage of a stormy career, in which it
was in serious danger several times,
being due to Senator Jones of Arkansas.
Helped Repeal the Sherman Law.
In the repeal of the Sherman silver
law, the HoOsier senator, however, took
a very prominent part. 1t was his last
important work in the senate and the
final ACCOMPLISHMENT Of the repeal was
due largely to the effective support he
rendered to the Cleveland administra.
ton, which had made the repeal one
Of its chief purposes. The finance
committee at this time was almost
evenly divided on the financial ques.
ton, and the balance of power in the
committee lay practically with Mr..
Voorhees,.
Mr.. Voorhees, was IS years of age
last September, and prior to his retire.
ment from public life on March 4 last,
had been for many years one Of the
most picturesque figures in the senate.
He was born in Liberty township,
Buffalo county, Ohio, and in his early
infancy was carried by his parents to
their pioneer home in the Wabash
wiley, Indiana. In 1S49 he graduated
from the Indiana Asbury (now de
Paux) university, and, studying law,
began It's practice in 1851. His first
public Office was entered upon il
1853.

A bride is always interesting. When q
woman comes a bride she is making one
of the great changes in life. She is enter
ing on duties entirely new to her-duties,
which she is all too often wholly untitled and
unprepared for. 1t is a woman's duty, as
well to herself as to her husband, that she
shall be strongly healthy in every way-par-
ticularly in those organs which are to be
called into play in bringing children into
the world. Weakness and disease of the
organs distinctively feminine undoubtedly
cause much of the misery, ~unhappiness and
incompatibility Of married life. A woman
whose nerves are continually nagged with
torturing pains, whose vitality is low, and
whose strength is unequal to her daily tasks
does not find it possible to be always ami
able and cheerful. And yet, a~rniability,
cheerfulness, good looks and vivacity are
the things most expected by a husband.
Every woman may have these things If she
will make and keep herself strong and
healthy. The way is simple. 1t leads to
DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription, the pre-
paration of a regularly graduated, expert
enced and skilled specialist in the treatment
of the diseases of women, who has for thirty
years been chief consulting physician of the
Irvalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute, at
Buffalo, N. Y. For thirty years this prepare
ton has been marvelously successful-has
been the means of bringing happiness into
thousands of homes. It's most benign infu-
ence is in eliminating the pains and dangers
of childbirth. Its benefit in this respect
cannot be overestimated.
DIR. Pierce's Pleasant PeNets permanently cure
| constipation, sick and bilious headaches, bilious
ness, heart burn, sour stomach, foul breath, PAL
pitation of the heart, and tatulence.

GARlSH BOOK BINDINGS.
They Are In Bad Taste and Are Disliked
by Rookworm and Scholar.

They Are In Bad Taste and Are Disliked
by Rookworm and Scholar.
Books have a right to be, first of all,
books. not purveyors Of WITNESSES in
color and design. AS matters are at this
moment three-quarters of the new
books look more like some strange en-
tree at a feast than like everyday edi-
bles. You take up one, and it has the
air of a curious ragout; there are un-
known fragments of design floating in
a sauce Of queer elemental color. The
next II has an air as honest as apple
sauce at first glance; it's a pale greenish
thing, but presently you see SIat, the
trail Of a serpent is over all its border.
And who a hope for content from a
dish thus garnished?
Again a book. and this one burns
bright red and yellow, like a pudding
on fire with cognac, which is all very
well for a pudding. Another has q cover
which looks like a resisting beefsteak
pounded by the stern hand of fate in q
boarding .LOuse;~ another reminds you
irresistibly Of coffee wherein chickory
has too much inserted it's diluting aid
and cream is missing. But, first and
to resemble small plots Of deceptive
stage verdure than honest. simple souled
books. 1t is impossible to help doubt
ing the value of the literary pasturage
to be found in such Enclosures. Fortu-
nately ono is sometimes most joyously
deceived. Authors have little "say"
concerning the garb of their volumes,
and often-good luck to them-they
rise superior to the mechanical makers
Of books and rejoice the souls Of their
readers in spite of the bindings.
And it must be repeated that in the
present bizarre and excessive fancies in
binding there is seed of Astounding hope
for the future. Publishers are cropping
for something; few of them know what.
But they will learn, and the world will
be made glad by a genuine revival III
the lovely old half forgotten craft of
bookbinding. In that happy coming day
there will be great honor for the men
who lead the taste Of this country to.
ward better things in b~ookbinding, sim.
pier and saner and more sincere. Dos.

In view of the preparations now be-
ing made at Lisbon to celebrate with
fitting ceremony the discovery of the
Cape Of Good Hope route from Europe
to India, it is of interest t o recall the
fact that it was through a king of that
Benin which has just been conquered
by the English that the Portuguese frs,
obtained their knowledge Of India. The
king of Benin in question, who visited
Lisbon, was in direct and t%ransconti
