A BASE DECEIYER.

Some weeks since according to the
Statesman the Board of Education, of
this city, had considerable back
bone" This week we find the fol-
lowing choice expressions;
"Two members of the Board assert
ed their manhood, defed the bosses
and voted in the interest of the
schools; the other three willing pup
pets of the bosses voted for a strar-
ger" etc.

respectable people.

Board at any time receive the support

The unreasonableness, to say the
least of civil service in the Govern
ment Printing Office is exemplified by
an incident which occurred few days
ago. Mr.. Palmer needed some ex-
pert book-binders and called on the
Commission for supply. The names
of a lot of fellows who had passed a
good examination in arithmetic and
geography were sent in but they
could not get one of the character re-
quired from the entire list. Finally
the Foreman OF Binding went to the
rooms of the Commission and sue
ceedei in finding TWO who gave
promise of possessing the requisite
skill.

Yes, Bryan intends to go to Mexico.
He has had no idea of visiting Alaska.
His recent trip to the Pacific Slope
was enough for him. Those people
out there were so thoughtless as to
allow whistles to blow, indicating that
manufactures were in full blast.
Then, too, fruit trees did not hide
themselves in the mountains nor did
heads of growing grain bow in shame.
All these things constrain the hoy

President Mckinley has modified
the civil-service rules, exempting

Guiding certain customs clerks not

desires.

FINAL. ACTION ON THE DINGLEY
Ri

BILL.
The United States Senate is a de-
Lucrative body. 1t always takes
time to investigate all measures
brought before it, no matter how
trivial. A measure such as 1.-THE
bill Oh. R. 379) to provide revenue for
the Government and to encourage the
industries of the United States" the
title of the eDingley BILL is always
certain to receive critical examina-
ton. Every word, every mark OF
punctuation is carefully scanned
When the Senate ended its labors
last Friday evening, it did not adj
journ but took a recess until 10 a. M.
Friday. Upon reassembliug. Senator
Allen finished his speech. begun the
day before, and Senator Burrows,
also addressed the Senate. Then came
message from the President an
nouncing his approval OF bill. Sen
ator Allison moved that the Senate
adjourn to meet at 3 minutes past l
O'Clock Saturday. The motion was
agreed to; and lat O'Clock p. m, Sat
urday, July "a, 1907 the Senate adj
journed to meet at 1 o'clock and 3
minutes p. m, Saturday, July "a,
1897.
Three minutes later, the President
pro tempore took the chair, and Sen
ator Faulkner moved that the reading
OF the Journal of yesterdays proceed
ings be dispensed with.
A few minutes later Senator Nor
gan began speech which continued
until 2:45. Mr.. Stewart, the silver
Senator from Nevada, talked about
the crime of 70 in his usual vigorous
manner, keeping close watch upon
the clock, the agreement being to
vote at 3 p. IN.
Promptly at 3, the Vice-President
announced that the vote would be
taken and the secretary proceeded to
call the roll. There were the usual
announcements of pairs, one of which
created considerable excitement. 1t
was that OF Mr.. Hanna, whose pair
was absent, preventing him from vot-
ing.
Members of the House filled every
nook and corner of the Senate chamber
and the galleries were packed with
spectators, who listened with interest
to the votes cast by doubtful Senators.
Jones and Stewart, of Nevada, voted
YEA" as also did McEnery, of
Louisiana When the Vice President,
at 3:I2, announced the vote--4o yeas
to 80 nays-a wave of applause burst
from the floor of the Senate and ex-
tended to the galleries. A party of
three Japanese in the diplomatic gal
lery were caught and Justify clapped
their hands, just as il they were good
Americans.
The bill then went to the House
where it received the signature of
Thomas B. Reed, Speaker of the
House. Back to the Senate it came
and Carrot A. Hobart added his name.
Thence it was taken to President Nc
Kinley, who in the presence of Mr..
Dingley and others, at 4:o4 p. M,
wrote-'July "a, approved-Wm.
Mckinley"

1t is due Democratic Senators to say
that they acted in very manly man
ner during the recent special session
of Congress. But few attempted to
prolong the session by speechmaking,
while many. among them our own

pediting the passage of the tariff bill.

The coal miners strike is still on.
All efforts to induce West Virginia
miners to strike haveso far been un-
availing. Extraordinary pleas have
been made by numerous labor leaders,
of national reputation and will be
continued, but the prevailing idea is
that the miners know a good thing
when they see it. That the strikers
will win is doubtful, though many
operators sympathize with them.
West Virginia appears to hold the
key.

AMENDE HONORABLE.

During the contest over the posi-
ton of Principal of the High School,
Mr.. c. w. Wolfes, President of the
Board Of Education, went to Hagers.
town to make inquiries about the fit
ness of Mr.. ]. w. Tinsley, an appli-
cant tor the position, and who was at
one time principal of the Male High
School of that city. Mr.. George G.
Pearson, Superintendent, informed
him that Mr. Tinsley had failed to
render satisfaction. Being apprised
OF the result of Mr.. Wolfes' errand,
Mr.. Tinsley insisted that he should
accompany him to Hagerstown,
claiming that either he or Mr.. Pear
son was mistaken. They went and
Mr.. Pearson said that Mr.. Wolfes had
misunderstood him; that Mr.. Tinsley
had been eminently successful, and
that he had resigned of his own ac-
cord to accept another position.
Being in Hagerstown one day last
week, we asked Mr.. J. w. Stonebrak-
err, President of the Washington
county School Board, how Mr.. Tins
ley had gotten along. He said that
he was total failure, that he had
resigned in the middle of his term on
an intimation from the Board that his
resignation would oe accepted if ten
dered. Other parties present con-
firmed all that Mr.. Stonebraker said.
AS Mr.. Tinsley had been an applicant
for the highest position in our schools,
and as he was announced as seeking
to establish private school here, we
felt it to be our duty to warn the peo-
pie, which we did in our last issue,
referring to him as
zone who utterly and totally failed
as a teacher in Hagerstown. who re-
signed in the middle of his term to
avoid being discharged.
We were absolutely confident that
the charge was correct. Men have
been hanged on less evidence. Now
we are we'll convinced that we were
mistaken; that the charge is incorrect
in every particular. and that we did
Mr.. Tinsley great wrong, which it
is our earnest desire to correct. We
had made full investigation, in
quired how Mr. Pearson came to make
two different statements, and received
a reply which was more than satistac-
tory and which fully convinced US at
that time that Mr.. Tinsley had utter
ly failed.
The following letter explains itself
and also absolves us of any wish or
desire to do Mr.. Tinsley wrong:
"Office of the School Commissioners
of Washington County.
"HAGERsTowN, MD, July I'd 1897.
Mr.. SMITH, Dear Sir: find was
mistaken in the man, when l told
you Mr.. Tinsley left here in the mid
die of the school term. Am sorry /

make Misrepresentation. 1t was a
neat blunder of mine and much re-
greet it on your account.

The Rights of q Young Wife.

Before everything else the young
woman has right to expect from her
husband tenderness, sympathy and
faith. But sometimes, in his eagerness
to make all life fair to her, he fancies
she is doll, and not a woman. And q
doll Is a very selfish toy; It demands
careful treatment all the time, and it
gives nothing but q pretty appear
ance in return. II is the foolish wife
who expects infallibility in her hus-
band. She forgets that there is a diff
ference between the housewife and the
house moth. She should expect from
her husband politeness at all times,
and certain gentleness that every
man, possessing the real instinct of O
man, gives to q woman. But she should
not expect from him too much. She
has no right whatever to ask of him
permission TO live q lazy life herself,
and to give up all her days and years to
vain and idle thoughts. When the
wife can make the husbands home
eoming a joy, his home-staying pleas
ore and delight, and his leaving home
, sorrow, then, and then only, can she
expect a great deal from him.-Ladies'
Home Journal.

Fatal Wreck on the Valley Road.

Fort Smith, Ark, Sept. IA
terrible wreck occurred last night
at 10 o'clock on the Kansas and
Arkansas Valley railroad, twenty
miles west of this city, in which
seven men were killed and six
badly injured. The wrecked train
was the local freight between
Coffeyville, Kan, and Van Buren,
Walter Mann, conductor, with
twenty freight cars and passen-
ger coach. Thirteen cars were
completely demolished and piled
upon either side of the track.
There were fourteen young men,
mostly residents of Wan, Cherokee
nation, who were stealing ride
to Van Buren, some on log cars
and some in a box car. These
cars were in the midst of the
wreck and seven of the young men
were killed, some of them being
horribly mangled.
The killed are: Bowse Hender-
son, Charles Fame, William Fame,
John Johnson, Lovely Andersoy,
of Wan; Frank Hamilton, McKan;
H. A. Walton, residence unknown.
The injured are: Robert Eu-
banks, Ohas. Panders, Jim Phil
lips, of Wan; Jack Jones, colored;
George Kaufman.
Phillips is the only one danger
ously hurt. Charles Fame lived
three hours, pinned down between
two saw logs and a box car on top.
Every effort was made to release
him, but it was utterly impossible
with the means at hand. He and
his brother died about fifteen min
utes apart. The boys were all out
on a lark, and were going to Van
Buren to get some whisky. Both
ends of the train remained on the
track, and consequently none of
the train crew or regular passen-
gers were injured.
The wrecked train was local
freight No. 10, from Coffeyville,
Kan, to Van Buren,. While the
train was running at speed of
twenty miles an hour the forward
trucks of car near the engine
broke. In the middle of the train
was a car loaded with heavy ma
chinery, and it was in this car that
thirteen men were stealing ride,
and from which seven dead men
and six seriously wounded were
taken by the trainmen shortly
afterward.

1t is SO truly apropos, that it can
not fail to be regarded by the
friends of your excellent paper as
very acceptable bit of reading.
1t is indeed refreshing to have
a chance now and then to look
back through, and out of. the ma
larial atmosphere of these degen-
crate days and contemplate the
consummate courage and manli-
ness of spirit that characterized
our statesmen of former days.
Think of such a man as that in
corruptible, heroic, unfiinching
old lover Of his country and race,
Head Chief Pathkiller, using such
a miserable argument as ga halt
loaf is better than no loaf" as an
apology for selling out his country!
When asked by congress to give
up his 'dirt" just to crafty the
cupidity of Georgia he said "no."
And didn't be say right? Didn't
be have a right to say so2 The
land was his; and then there was
no power in the universe that had
any right, moral or legal, to take
it from him. He had the courage
too of a true man; the courage to
stand by his rights. We need
that kind of men today. One par
ticular reason assigned by those
old patriots for not wanting to
treat their land away was, that
they wanted to keep it for the use
of their "posterity;" not the chill
dren OF A, B, or G; but the na-
tion's posterity, MS chaps that
compose the so-called Cherokee
nation of today. How different
that noble sentiment from the spir-
it of that wretched watch word of
these modern times, "give me my
share and let posterity take care
of itself" Too-QUA-sTEE.
