The Spirit OF Jefferson, should pub

of William Jennings Bryan. That
portion of his remarks as to the effort
William is, or was making to steal
the livery of Jefferson in which to
serve the Popocrats would make
mighty interesting readin for the
patrons of Thomas's Spirit. Brother
Haines has something every week
from Charles and should not ignore
the most important utterance he has
made for years.

The report that Hon. A. G. Day.
ION would resign in case Mr.. Davis
vas not appointed Collector of Inter
Eernal Revenue is persistently repeat
cd by Popocratic newspapers. Mr..
Dayton never made any such threat
de was intensely earnest in his de-
sire to secure the position for some
member of the party in this district
and very naturally feels that his
wishes were ignored, but he is too
true a man to desert his post because
he meets with discouragements by
The way. He feels, as does every
other Republican, that the Second
district is entitled to recognition for
he magnificent victories of 1894 and
1896. Ex-President Harrison said at
sIlkins, in 1894, that the eyes of the
world were on this Congressional
district. Hon. J. W. Babcock, Chair
nan of the National Congressional,
committee, the day before the cleo
ion, in 1894, said that we could not
iefeat win; that it was folly to try;
cut Mr.. Wilson was defeated, aud the
-esult in 1896 was more emphatic
7or these reasons and others, Mr..
Dayton feels that his constituents
are entitled to the very best things
The Administration can bestow He
desires above all things else to repay
so far as he is able the debt of graft
tude which he owes to those who have
been active in his behalf and in behalf
Of the party. Had he done less than
he has done, he would have been rec
reant to the trust reposed in him
he would suffer his right arm cut off
rather than desert friend.

The contest proceedings this week
would point moral and adorn tale,
but we refrain from commenting upon
it, to any extent, as the brief review
of the case in another column is suf-
ficiently humiliating. There have
been many contests of the same char
acter in this city, but none in which
there was such an utter disregard of
oaths, law and facts. How men elect
ed to preside over the destinies of
city can, under oath, reverse them
selves-vote one way one hour and
another way the next--is beyond hui
man comprehension. Certainly the
people have food for serious thought

The long and vigorous contest for
the office of Collector of Internal Rev
enue, for this State was ended last
Saturday by the appointment of Mr.
A. B. White, editor of the State
Journal, Parkersburg. Dispatches in
another column convey all the infor-
nation we possess. While we do
most heartily congratulate Mr.. White,
it is but natural that we should feel
somewhat chagrined because the Sec
ond District was left out in the cold
in the matter OF Federal ppointments
for the State. At the same time we
have an abiding faith that President
Mckinley will finally do the right
thing by and for the district.

The Board of Education this week
created considerable surprise when it
become known that Prof. A. B. Car
man had received notice that his SER
vices would not be required another
year. While it is true there has been
more or less trouble in the High
School almost ever since Prot. Car
man took charge, it is also true that
there was serious trouble before, and
it is a safe wager that no matter who
may take his place differences will
continue to exist.
Mr.. Carman is a most thorough
and painstaking instructor, ever
looking after the best interests Of his
pupils and always striving to build
up the school, He has had opposi-
ton to which one less determined
would have yielded, but he kept on
in his earnest, persistent way and
surmounted practically all Of the diff
fculties that he met.
Personally and as a patron of the
school we much regret the action of
the Board, and predict that it will be
many long day before Martinsburg
will be able to secure the services of
another who will under similar cir
cumstances do as thorough and eff
cient work as he has done.
We do not know il the Board has a
successor in view, but we do know
that the people will not allow any
lowering Of the standard. The splen-
did support that has been given the
Board during the past three years
was because it was known that the
schools were being elevated.
The very best talent must be Sc
cured at any cost and the Board must
see to it that Progress is the watch
word We feel sure that their desire
is to do that which is best, and only
offer these suggestions as an addition
al incentive to the greatest care in the
selection of teachers.

One of the principal arguments
against the annexation OF Hawaii is
that it is great way of. 1t is. But
we should remember that this coun-
try, including Alaska, now extends
from 81 degrees west longitude to ITO
degrees east longitude, I23 degrees in
all, and that Niihau, the westernmost
of the Hawaiian group, is 80 degrees
east of the western eastern property
limit of Alaska; that the meridian OF
Hawaii Q55 wesD passes through the
center of Alaska, is the same longi-
tude as Kadiak and the Seal Islands,
which are not considered so very far
away. Pessimists should remember
that this is, as an English tourist re-
marked. "a blarsted big country"

The Statesman says that the
High School has been run during the
past year in a most unsatisfactory
manner This is the ex.cathedra
opinion of an individual who evident
ly does not know anything about the
school. The fact is there was great
er advancement than ever before in
the history of the school. For exam
pie, first room pupils were advanced
as far as they usually are at the mid
winter holidays in the third room.
All other rooms have done almost
equally we'll. The largest class in
the history of the school was grad
uated and the junior class is double
that OF any previous year. 1t is we'll,
sometimes at least, to state facts.

FARMERS, GET TOGETHER.

The farmers should all unite in one
organization. They should make their
interests paramount to every other
Because what will benefit them, will
benefit other classes, except, however,
the money monopolist and machine
politicians. They should not allow
themselves so placed under obligations
to others, as to check, or take from
them their freedom. That is too much
the case now. Other classes will al
ways uphold and act to protect their
interests regardless as to politics or
Justice. Not one law " : been allowed
TO stand on the Statutes that would
protect the farmers, alike with other
classes. The roason of this is, they
have not acted as a free American citi'
zen should. They have allowed them
selves to become slaves to their own
p~rejudices, or even their own wives
and children, It is only q question of
a few more years-if present conditions
continue when they will be homeless
and penniless, and then, of course, friend
less. This is more serious than nine
tenths of them think. Tt is too serious
to be trif9d with further. Therefore
we ask farmers to get together and
stay together. Il is a duty you owe
yourselves, your children and your
country, and above all, your God

Some of the commercial agencies
consider it a good sign for weak firms
to fail, as it ''clears the atmosphere, "
and gives solid business a chance. We
think it would be better if weak houses
could somehow be made stronger so
they would not fail. Business failures
cannot properly be considered an indi-
cation. of approaching good times

TO REMIND RIVER TRAVELLERS OF GRANT.
To the Editor OF The Tribune.

To the Editor OF The Tribune
Sir: Tn. completion of the Grant tomb at River
side offers the opportunity to introduce upon the
Hudson that beautiful observance which, upon the
Potomac Is at memorial to the great dead
and recurring reminder of the Nations great
past.
AS the traveller on the Potomac approaches
Mount Vernon he hears the soft tolling Of few
strokes on the steamers bell. and this simple,
touching ceremony infallibly impels susceptible
mind TO the thought not only of Washington. but
of the beginnings OF the history which has made an
almost pure democracy great among the world $
empires. .
which IRE needed to verify our remembrance Of the
nature OF of our of much Of that splendid
show which is awaited of in Europe TO excite en-,
thusiasm and attachment FOR ruling 1amihes ana
established institutions, we must look 10 0tner
sources for these sensuous signs. which are helpful
II not Indispensable to keep presently alive the pub.
ideals as those Government rests upon.
1t has become a truism that of all forms OF gov
eminent the most ideal. the furthest removed from
simple perception and comprehension is democ-
dignity of government which has at its command
the powerful appeal to the senses In the rich In
established arlstocratlc social order. 1t is difficult
for any but the highly cultivated mind TO perceive
rne an absract mors Of and prn
ciples which are implied in democracy:
Therefore, hope that the custom of gently toll.
ing the steamers bell it sails by Grants tomb at
Riverside will be introduced. That simple obser-
vance has In II the power OF persuasion toward a
genuine patriotic sentiment
The fear that this observance might be source
OF annoyance TO the jewellers on the Hudson be-
cause Of the noise is not we'll founded. Anything
like whistling salute to the tomb will be rendered
impossible by its violation Of the respect Tor
the dead which is expressed by the toling bell.
Also let it be only the passenger steamers when
observe the custom, and that with only the few
soft taps on the bell as il done the Potomac.
The soft tones Of the tong bell could not then dis
turb any one. and the traveller on the Hudson
would carry lasting impression of q dgnitied and
beautiful tribute to a great servant or the Nation
and revivifled impression OF what the Nation Is
which Grant served.
II, say, the Albany day boats would begin tho
custom its beauty would commend II 70 other
