The Pontiac Gazette speaks as follows of
the work of one of our Owosso boys: The
withdrawal of +. e Converse from the
SUPPLEMENTARY Of the Pontiac city schools,
was not only surprise to our citizens gen.
orally, but matter Of sincere regret 10
many. He has been connected with the
Pontiac schools seven years. during which
the schools have grown so that the average
membership is now 1900 as against sos
seven years ago, and the average attendance
y n The character Of the work done has
been recognized by the University authori-
ties, who have inspected the high school
twice during the past six years, reporting
very favorably, continuing the school on
the diploma list in all courses, each time,
for the full term of three years. The grade
work has also been improved gradually.
As educational ideas have advanced-the
work of the primary grades especially has
been changed in spirit and method in ac-
cordance with more recent ideas affecting
the teaching of children. On the whole,
the truth is generally accepted by those who
have been most interested and have watched
the work, so far rs conditions permitted,
that the schools are in flourishiug cOndi-
tioD and abreast of the times. 1t will be
exceedingly crafty ing to his friends, to
know that Mr.. Converse has heen tenCered
the superintendency of the schools in Beloit,
Wis, and will haye charge OF 40 teachers,
including three public kindergartens.

The farmer is equally interested with the
mechanic in the protection OF our hOue
market. The value of the home market 10
the taSmer is nowhere shown any more con-
clusively and the democratic free-tlade as
sertions more cOnclusiyely proven untrue
than by the United States treasury statist-
cal abstract. The consumption of our farm
products by our people reached its maximum
in 1892. Passing over 1868, the year of the
panic, and taking 1894, it shows that more
than 81 per cent more pounds OF our raw
cotton were consumed by our own people in
1892 under the republican tariff than in the
year 1894 under the threat of democratic
free-trade tariff; that more than rs per cent
more wheat was consumed by our people in
1892 than in 1894, that more than 33 per
cent more corn was consumed by our own
people in 1892 than in 1894, that more than
80 per cent more pounds of wool were con-
sumed in 1892 than in 1S94-Aon. j. II.

Consul General Lee returns to Cuba.
He will watch the progress of matters
there and look out for the safety of
American citizens. He has impressed
the president with his own views of
the insurgents, also that the insurgents
will not accept of autonomy. In this
view of the case it is apprehended that
before long Spain will invoke the good
offices of the United States to aid in
coming to terms with the insurgents.
In that case the attempt will not be
made through the Cuban junta in the
United States, but with the insurgents
in the field. Lee will be of rare SER
vice in this work as he has the abso-
Lutte confidence of the insurgent lead
ers.

Uncle Sam is not euchered out of his

Cleveland administration offered to

There will be a great deal of finesse
required in Washington on the part of
the Canadians to bring their mission
in the National capital to a successful
issue. No treaty that they may de-
sire to make for trade or any other
purpose with the United States is
worth rush without the sanction of
Great Britain, and the mother country
is not going to waive her own good for
that of Canada. Then there are all
the vexed question that Laurier will
have to face as to the persecution of
American fishermen, the denying to
them even the commonest courtesies
in case of danger and the persistent
killing of seals in the northwest. Not
only so, but the American Agricultur-
al department, in the hands OF its act
i've head Sec. Wilson, is alive to the
danger of permitting Canadian grains
and food products of all kinds to enter
the United States and force down the
price Of American farm products. All
these things are in the air, and as the
reciprocity dodgers went home once
before with a flea in their ear, when
Blaine required of them a pledge that
Great Britain would endorse their pro-
positions, so may it be again with
