speaking of. To-day Wheat, Corn, and Oats
were some easier, while Flour is held with a
fair degree of firmness but the indications are
that values must sooa take an upward move be-
as well as all other line OF Groceries, are quiet,

The Normal school System.

Altogether commendable is the action OF
the Board OF School Trustees as 10 the
Normal School. For several years that
school has done exceedingly well, but the
results achieved have come despite many
difficulties. not the least of which was a
subdivision OF the faculty with the Ieces-
sarily-attendant wastefulness of operation.
Other hindrances to progress have been the
lack of library and laboratory facilities
such as are common enough in schools of
E.uch less consequence than that which Is
devoted to the training of the young men
and young women whose later work as
teachers Is to leave lasting impress for
good or ILL., The Normal School Is pre-
eminently important in our public school
system II there is weakness in the Nor
NAL School. it will turn out weak tea chers
The consequences of weak tea ching must
at once be apparent. Yet IT is undoubtedly
true that the Washington Normal School
has been neglected: not. perhaps. to an
alarming extent. but neglected neverthe-
less. Until quite recently the Normal
School course of instruction was all con-

An IneNplicuble EXPLANATION,

In the published reports OF his explana-
ton TO the republican senatorial caucus
yesterday Mr.. Aldrich is represented as
stating that the sugar schedule adopted by
the subcommittee of the finance commit
tee lis less advantageous to the Sugar
Trust than the HOUSE schedule" If that il
true. how did 1t happen that when the Sc
cret information of the subcommittee
work got into the possession of certain
BIT Oker5 sugar stock went up several points?
Shrewd Operators in that stock seem to
have differed with Mr.. AIdrich on that
point.
In one report of the caucus IL appears
that the explanation OF Mr.. Aidrich seem
cd to cause general satisfaction; at least
no one questioned the senator further" II
that is true the Rhode Island senator got
off more easily than he is likely TO do
when the schedule comes up for debate in
the open Senate. He will have questions
enough propounded to him then. There are
senators on both sides of the chamber
whose curiosity this point will not be
so easily satisfied. and who are of opinion
that the Sugar Trust benefits most decided

Sfudyin the Financial Question.

Tie Star recently commended the re-
ported purpose of Mr.. Bryan to visit Europe
and study the financial question In gold
standard countries 1t expressed the opn-
ion that he would greatly benefit from such
a trip. and would become a more interest
ing man in the next presidential campaign.
whether he should be mis- party's presdeu-
tiai candidate again not. 1t pointed out
that the financial question was of world
wide import, and that even if Mr.. Bryan
and his friends should decide to hold on to
their contention about an American finan-
cial policy. its most eloqUen; champion
could provide himself with new illustrations
by foreign observations.
1t is now announced that early I'm July.
Senators Pettigrew and Cannon and ex-
Senator Dubois-all Bryanites in the mat
ter OF finance--wili sail for China and ia
pan to study the money question from the
Oriental standpoint. The Star commends
that. too. The purpose is wise. and it is
to be hoped that the distinguished trio will
prosecute their inquiries thoroughly. In
japan they will find business conditions
just emerging from the domination of the
silver standard and falling under that of
the gold standard. That ought to be a
very valuable field for them. Then. in
China. they will find business still under
the domination of silver-silver supreme,
and working for better for worse in the
affairs of four hundred millions of people
If they do not garner some big sheaves
there 1t Will be a surprise.
So mere we have distinct and practical
confession from the silver leaders that the
financial question is not local question;
that 1t is worth ones while to examine il
IN its larger relations. They are dividing
up the world. with this end in view. MIR.
Bryan, with characteristic DASH is to move
on Europe and beard the shylocks in their
gflded dens. He will examine for himself
right at their very doors how the gold men
turn their tricks. Meanwhile, Messrs Pet
tigrew, Cannon and Dubois will be on the
other side of the world inspecting the bene-
fcent operations of silver currency, and
fortifying themselves with fresh facts as 10
how lovely everything in the United States
would be under pigtail brokerage and pub
lie credit.
Meanwhile, also. the Bimetallic Commits
sioners, who. are already abroad will he
prosecuting their researches and will bring
back with them some suggestions as to the
biHetailic side of the question. Let the
good work go on all around. Nobody ought
TO shrink from the light. Even the middle
of-the-road popuists would benefit from a
foreign trip.
