Our source of Consolation

In considering the results Of the recent
elections in the United States. there is
one source of consolation to the Demo-
Gratis In the fact that the Republicans,
who have absolute control of all the
branches OF the government, will be
compelled to bear the full responsible
ity S0T Its conduct.
As matter Of fact, the possession OF
o majority In the house by the Demo-
Gratis, could hardly be Of any practical
value, either to the party or the people.
With Republican senate and president
opposed to them, they would have been
powerless to do more than Obstruct the
policies of the adininistration-and this
position is hardly ever either safe or
popular for political party to occupy.
As 1t Is, tEse Republicans will be held
responsible by the people for the con
duct Of The government ut time. which
u, perhaps. the most critical in the his
tory of the country. The government

was stolen, and from that time until he
died he never wore another. Mr.. Ferris

walked and saved the mileage. He

After his marriage he engaged in the

Represent the Department of the
Potomac-Cnndidnte for the ONCE
of mander-in-Cbief.

Department Commander Arthur Hen
dricks stated to a Times reporter today
that between 200 and 800 members OF the
Department of the Potomac would leave
here in body next Sunday to attend the
national encampment of the Grand Army
of the Republic, 10 be held at Cincinnati
from September to 10. inclusive.
All arrangements have been made for
the trip.
A special train of vestibuled day coaches
and sleepers will leave the Sixth Street
depot, over the Chesapeake and ONO
Railway, at noon on Sunday. The train
will pass over a number of notable battle
fields and bring back to the veterans
many memories of the stirring days in the
sixties. Among these battlefields are
Manassas, Bristol Station, Warrenton
Junction, Rappahannock, Brandy Station.
Culpeper, Rapidan, Orange and Gordons-
vile.
Gen. j. p. S. Goblin, commander-in-chief
of the G. A. r.. has accepted the inVl-
tation of Commander Hendricks, and Will
accompany the Department OF the Poto-
mac as guest of honor.
The transportation committee in charge
of the trip consists of A. f. Dinsnore,
]. l.. Thornton, r. B. Schwickard.
George +. Davis and A. NJ. Thompson.
The committee of the Women's Relief
Corps are: Mrs. NJ. r. Sprague, Mrs Al
ice Burgess, Mrs. Ida V. Chase and Mrs.
George Van Fleet.
There are seventeen Grand Army posts
i'm the District of Columbia, but they
will go to Cincinnati as one body and
not as posts. Much interest centers in
the election of national commander to
succeed Gen. Goblin. The leading candi-
dates for the honor are l. F. Mack, of
Ohio; Jacob Sexton, of Chicago, and Col.
Shaw, of New York.

CUBAN SCHOOLS.
Movement I'm New York to Get IN
Educator Appointed,

(From the New York TimesD
A movement has been started in this
city to secure an educator of experience
to go to Cuba and undertake there the
organization of a common schoo, system.
Leaders in this movement are secretaries
of some of the church missionary socie-
ties. They are going out of their regular
lines of work and taking part in the
movement as individuals. Conferences
have been held during the week, and the
names of a possible commissioner of edu-
cation for Cuba discussed. The men here
are in touch with the best men in Cuba.
and from what they have learned they
are more inclined to sympathize with Gen.
o. o. Howard's estimate Of the native
Cubans than with that of Gen. Shafter.
A secretary of one of these church
boards. who desires that his name be not
used because he is not in his regular
sphere of action and may involve his
society. said yesterday that there arc at
least four men who may, at the proper
time, be approached and urged to go to
Cuba These are Charles R. Skinner, SUI
perintendent Of public instruction Of this
State: Prof. Nicholas Murray Butler. of
Columbia University: Superintendent
Jones of the Cleveland (Ohio) city
schools, and Prof. Lane. assistant super
intendent OF the Chicago schools. It is
not known that any Of these men would
go, but they are considered just the men
for the place. and one OF them may be
