American Commercial Schools.

The American Business School is in a
certain sense unique. Its courses are the
result OF demands by the business COM
mGnity and when due allowances are made
for the differences of environment, it will
be found that our best American CONNER
clal Schools compare favorably with the
best European Commercial Schools. Com
petent observers, who have visited the
German Commercial School at Leipzig,
pronounced the business course of Peirce
School of Philadelphia in many respects
superior TO that of the European school.
The shorthand department of Peirce School
is the largest shorthand school in the State,
its faculty is composed of certifcated ex-
perienced stenograhper, its typewritiDg
equipment is probably the largest in the
world. and instruction in this art is sys-
tematicalty given by a skilled specialist

England's system of rule in India has at
last resulted in an uprising OF the people
against expressions too grievons to be
longer borne. Harper's Weekly of The 21st
ult. goes into the situation at great length
from which we quote a few points
"India's population is 250,000.000. whose
income is $40 each per year." The causes,
plainly stated. for the terrible condition,
the Weekly adds, 'are absentee landlordism
with its consequent drain of the resources
of the country TO maintain a foreign domi-
nation. As an instance, taking the Fl oancial
year 1889-90, the net amount of land reve-
nues OF India was $97 100000, while the
amount expended through the Indian
Office in London, in England only, on
account of India was $l17,25O,0O0. These
figures are official. From this it will be
seen that not only was the whole rent of
India taken to be spent in England, but
over 500, 100000 more that had to be taken
from other sources This may make it
unoersto0o now IL is tnaG the india people
are insufficiently fed and clothed and con-
sequently short-lived"
The Weekly continues: Had the old
American colonies been Inhabited by peo-
pie of the same temperament, as ignorant
and docile, there would have been no Bos-
ton Tea Party, no Declaration of Indepen-
dence, and no Old Glory floating over the
forty-ive States and the Territories of the
Union"
And yet, the Weekly, and other papers of
its class, advocate closer alliance between
America and this country which enforces a
system of slavery on 100000 900 human
b-ings in comparison with which all other
known forms of slavery are humane and

In a Bed way.

The Newark Sunday Call, professedly|
independent, which has been running with
the Republican machine for several years,
apprehends Democratic reaction in this
State and gives the following sound reasons
for its anxiety as to the fortunes Of the
Republican party:
1t came into power when the people
were disgusted with Democratic rule be-
cause the Democracy had fallen into the
hands of ring The nomination OF Gov
ernor Griggs WAS made in defiance Of an
effort to control the Republican party in
been ruled, and the nomination was fol-
lowed by a sweeping victory. In the year
following peculiar national conditions
gave the Republicans another great tri-
umph. Since then party fortunes have
been decidedly on the wane. The Tariff
bill which Congress has given this coun-
try as the first fruits of the new Admins
tration ia almost universally denounced,
and the impression grows that if prosperity
returns this Fall it will be in spite
rather than on account OF the action of
the Government. 10 State affairs there
has been the gravest disappointment The
Legislature has been under the control of
corporations and political bosses to an ex-
tent which has amazed even those accus-
toned to look for little independence in
this body, and the Governors consent has
been given to measures which a couple
of years ago would never have been pre-
scented 10 him SO certain would their adyO
Gates have beeu that ringing veto would
haye followed. Appointments by the
Governor have been disappointing, taken
as whole, and in some cases haye been
unqualifiedly condemned. The sentiment
of the people is that they have been fooled
that the transfer of power has been
merely from one set of bosses to another. In
short, the Republican party in this State
will enter upon the Fall campaign having
earned popular distrust and dissatisfac-
ton and with no better dependence for
success than the divisions which it hopes
may develop in the opposition. The fault
is with the leaders, who have either
surrendered to corporation interests or
have been bitten by ambition. 1t will,
of course, be claimed that this in an off
year, with few offices of great importance
TO be filed. but every practical observer
knows that, unless there is a change in
policy and methods this year, the disas-
trous effect will be felt in their full force
only when the United States Senatorship
and Goyernorship are at stake in the
campaign of 1898.

New York, Sept. /. = The indications
from today's stock market were that
prices generally would have suffered a
material reaction had it not been for the
stimulating effect of the sensational ad-
vances shown by individual stocks. Buy
ers were evidently possessed by furore
of speculation, and the difficulty of NOV

The Lloyd Marriage License law, which
has put such an effectual barrier on the
wedding of non-residents in New Jersey
in general and Camden in particular, will
in all probability be tested in the courts to
determine whether the new statue is con-
stitutionaI. Assemblyman Harry S. Scovel
of Camden, the colleague of Assem- blyman
Frank I Lloyd, of Stockton, who was the
author of the law, it is said intends to attack
the constitutionality of the measure on the
ground that as it now stands it is practic-
ally prohibitory and therefore at variance
with the spirit and language of the States
fundamental law. Lawyer Scovel states
that he has client who is DESTROYS of get
ting married but, being nonresident, he
can get no one to answer the questions
necessary under the law. He says he pro-
poses to advise Justice of the Peace or
clergyman to perform the ceremony and
risk prosecution under the statue.

RIVERSIDE, Feb. 28.-The people in
this community fail to express regret
at the financial misfortunes which have
overtaken l.. c. Tibbite, in which he
loses the whole Of the Tibbits tract even
to his home place, and leaves a once
wealthy citizen practically penniless.
He was one OF the first orchardists OF
this valley 1t was one his place that
the first navel oranges were successful
ly budded twenty-five years ago, and
from which-three trees-have sprung
all the navel oranges of the whole coun-
try. Two Of the trees are still bearing.
The buds were sent to the agricultural
department at Washington by the
United States minister to Brazil and
were discovered at Bihai in that coun-
try. BY experimenting at the govern
ment conservatory 1t was found they
could be reproduced, and buds were sent
to Florida and California. In Florida
they amounted to nothing after num-
ber Of years In experimenting. The buds
brought to Riverside were engrafted in
Mr.. Tibbits' orchard, in which was then
known as Riverside colony, by Prof
