Sand Beach says: With her rudder
gone and a northwest gale blowing for
ty miles an hour the steamer John c.

BADENI MUST GO.
Chaos Prevails In the Political Situation
I'm Austria.

London. Nov. 1O.-A letter received
here from Vienna says the published
reports of the political situation in the
Austrian empire convey no adequate
idea of the chaos prevailing. "Badeni
must go" is the general warcry now,
and his downfall is considered inevita-
BILE, regardless of the outcome OF the
present fight between the Germans and
the Czechs. The letters adds:
mo one can foresee how 1t will end
If the Germans win there may be blood
shed in Bohemia and If the Bohemians
are persistent the Germans will have to
fight with their sharpest weapons to as
sert their prerogative and save the Aus
tro-Hungarian duality. The danger
however. lies in the active participation
in the fight by the Germans over the
border. There is actually small party
in the reichsrath which openly declares
for Prussia and wants to see the former
German provinces, as Bohemia, handed
over to the Hohenzollerns"

Spring Valley Ills, Nov 10.-The
news that Cinnamon are TO be imported
into the mines at Carbon Hill is not
considered very seriously at this place.
Men stood around the corners all morn
ing in knots discussing this latest phase
of the strike situation in northern Hi
nois. But the coolies did not interest
them as much as the reported settle
ment at Braceville, where IL is reported
the miners have accepted the operators
offer.
The men in this part of the district
are indignant over the action of the
Braceville men in accepting a settle
ment below the scale. They claim to
have the strike won, and the Spring
Valley leaders say that. no matter II
Braceville does return to work at
non-union scale, they will hold out until
next May. if necessary, for the one
formulated at Springfield.
Firm for Living Wage.
I.add, Seatonville, La Sale and Peru
are equally firm. The miners of La
Sale had a meeting. A few days ago
some sixty foreign-speaking miners
signed the non-union scale. The meet
ing was arranged for the purpose of
persuading these men from going to
work. 1t met with success, and La
Sale is as firm for the union scale as it
ever was The labor leaders here scoff
at the idea of the "coolie" movement,
which the general Wilmington com
pany is back of. being a success. They
| say it is only a bluff. Said one prom
nent leader:
What If they do succeed in working
| one obscure mine with Cinnamon That
| does not necessarily break the strike
We are not going to let 200 Cinnamon a.
Carbon Hill make the price of coal dig
ging for 1000 white miners of northern
| Illinois. The very fact that the north
ern Illinois operators are importing
| cheap 'coolie' labor is an indication tina
the white miners are poorly paid ant
| evidence of the justice of their cause.
Convention at Streator.
J A committee of miners from thi
point of the district will probably b
sent to Braceville for the purpose o
inducing the men of that place to re
[ consider their late action. A delegat

! ers will be held at Streator and an Ell

The Hawaiian public school system
is essentially American. 1t employs
American text books almost exclusive
ly, which, OF course, include for the
higher grades the cream of English
classics. The only exceptions are Ha-
waiian geography and history. More
than one-third Of the teachers in all
schools, public and Independent, are
American. II is no slight testimony to
the efficiency of the system that Ha-
waiian and part Hawaiian teachers
come next in number to American and
form but a little under one-third of the
entire teaching staff. This is a happy
result Of the policy OF training teachers
at home, as these are acquainted from
the first with the peculiar difficulties OF
conducting a school Of mixed races. For
many years hCme-trained teachers had
to do their best to earn certificates by
working upon the furnished syllabus OF
periodical examinations, but within the
past few years there has been establish
ed at Honolulu a normal school with 8
practice school attached. From this in
stitution a constant supply of scientif
cally trained teachers is assured, which
il is hoped, will soon overtake, or a
least approach the demand.
An admirable feature of the system
is the virtually permanent tenure of th'
teachers Office. Teachers are employ
ed during the year. Schools are in ses
sion, even in remote country districts
for forty weeks Of the fifty-two. One

THE LAsT SAD NOTES.

The State Convention of the Union
Republicans, to be held AT Dover in No
vember, one year before the next gen
eral election, will undoubtedly develop
into an Indignation meeting for thepur-
pose of making little political capital
at the expense OF the regular Republi-
cans The Addicks leaders are anxious
to count noses once more, and they
have some bitter thoughts in mind
which they wish to reduce to writing
and promulgate to the electors, hoping
to relxindle the factional hatred of past
days.
No doubt they will endeavor to put
on a bold front at the convention, and
poll phenomenal vote at the primar-
les, merely for the moral effect accom-
panying blatant speech and numbers,
but such effect will be but transitory.
With the regulars aiding and abetting
them the Addicksites might hope to
accomplish something, but without
them they are powerless to inflict any
great public harm. It will soon be time
for them TO hang their harp on the
weeping willow tree and If few part
ing notes in November will bring con-
ISOLATION to them in their dying mo-
ments the people of the state will bear
the dirge patiently.
