THE PHILISTINE,
The Decoration of School Rooms.

Within the last few years the plan of dec
Grating school rooms has come into wide
prominence. Many cities and towns from
Denver to Boston have done more or less in
this direction. Probably the most noted in
stance is to be found in Philadelphia, where
the Civic club, an organization composed
wholly of women, has set the pace With the
assistance of friends. large number Of casts
flags and pictures have been secured, and the
fourteen rooms and stairways OF a building
decorated in an artistic manner. In every in
stance care has been taken to properly dis
tribute the decorations, with the result that
pictures in the kindergarten room for ex-
ample, are such as to be easily understood
by the child Of five years. In one room are
casts of several distinguished authors, with
now and then a scene from a masterpiece

| famous paintings and sculpture, effects of the
| forces OF nature, patriotism, Greek and Ro-
man history. etc. The young man in
charge OF the building assures the visitor that
although the pupils are quite young owing to
| the grade Of the school. yet they manifest a
keen interest in the paintings and casts. and
when they first see picture eagerly inquire
as to the story or ideas it represents, and
often look up the story themselves. They do
not hesitate to express an opinion upon the
artistic merit of painting. even calling at
| tention to the very detail in which it does not
receive their approval. OF course the decisions
rendered would not always be accepted by

and the desire for the beautiful aroused

| early training are never wholly obliterated.

The Case Of Capt. Burger.

That is q very interesting and in
forming story we print on our city
page this morning. 1t lifts the curtain
and let's us have an inside view OF
methods deemed legitimate in the code
of Republican campaign ethics. With
the domestic quarrelS that rend that
party we have no concern. How Capt.
Burger was tricked out Of the nominal
ton for alderman from the Second ward

ayers did it, 50 much the worse for
Kiefer But the captain is one of those
especially fond objects Of Republican
der He is one of the totally disabled
| ones. He draws a pension of $72 a
month. His activity led The G o b e
into expressing a doubt as to the to-
tally of his disability. We were
wrong. He is worthy of his pension.
Burger indignant at the means used
to defeat him, circulates petition for
nomination. Thereupon Kiefer dele
gate and ward henchman goes to the
captains wife and tells her that Joe's
pension will be cut down to $32 a
month IL he uO6S HOT uTOp his CdLUl-

his pension as his badge of honor, and
these men would sully that honor Of

G e will be happy to block their
game. But how utterly contemplate

party could, supply cases Of many dis
reputable methods, but we doubt if
ever one was attempted that excels
this. 1t was cowardly, for it hit a
woman: it was brutal, for it struck an
old soldier made defenseless and help

The First Days Registration.

The G o b e departs from the Gus
tom heretofore prevailing among the
newspapers of this city and presents
its readers this morning with complete
returns from all the precincts of all the
wards of the city, showing the regis
tration of voters made yesterday. The
custom has been to wait until the last
day of registry, and then to give the
returns of the preceding days listing.
together with the total of the three
days.
The G. o b regards this qualifying
act of voters quite as important a
piece Of news as any connected with
the campaign, and accordingly gathers
it, covering the entire lis precincts in
practically less than an hours time.
1t is the total number entered at the
hour of closing that is the news, and
this necessitated covering the whole
field within very small space Of time,
and that involved a very large increase
OF reportoIial force.
The total registration yesterday in
dictates that there is unusual interest
being taken in the campaign, though,
IL the absence of similar figures for
preceding first days of registration in
former years. the means of comparison
of interest as indicated by registering,
is wanting.

What Can Congress Do?

The issue is now with congress- It is
solemn responsibility" are the clos
ing words of the presidents message.
This means that he considers the dip
lomatic incidents as closed. The func-
tons of the executive are exhausted.
He has gone as far, done as much. as
his station permits. He tells congress
that there are two things he will not
DO. He will not recognize the bellig-
erency OF the Cubans. He will not
recognize the independence of Cuba. He
will. if authorized. intervene to bring
peace between the disputants.
In this situation it is a pertinent
question what can congress do? It's
powers are limited to those given it in
the constitution. 1t can declare that
q state OF war exists between the Unit
ed States and Spain, and empower the
president to conduct operations as COM
mander-in-chief. 1t can enact suitable
legislation to meet the emergency it
creates. 1t can levy taxes to provide
for the common defense. It. can pro-
vide the army and navy to do the
fighting. One branch, the upper one.
can ratify any treaty made by the ex-
ecutive.
That is all. 1t cannot make bellig-
erentS of the inSurrectionists. It can
not recognize Cuba as republic.
These acts belong to the executive Of
flee. Over year ago the senate, in
one Of its eruptive moods, proposed to
pass a resolution recognizing Cuba as
an Independent republic. Mr. Olney,
then secretary Of state, departed from
the usual reticence of his office and
gave out an interview in which he
served the senate with notice that such
a resolution would have no further eff
feet than an expression of opinion by
the gentlemen voting for it. The pur-
pose was dropped. Congress will do
what the president asks, or do moth
ing.
Either Of the joint resolutions said
to be prepared, the one by the senate
foreign committee, the other by the
house steering committee. is, in sub
stance. a declaration of war Their
gist is the declaration that Spain evac-
uate Cuba and Cuban waters, and, on
refusal, that the president use the
armed forces of the United States to
compel it. Here congress is within it's
constitutional province. 1t is doing
what it can do. If it does what
is very clearly the wish Of the mass
Of the people that it should do, it will
adopt one or the other resolution

HOW Kiefer "Felt" for Him.

From the Pioneer Press, May 4, 1890.
There is evidence, fortunately, little his
tory bearing the friendship which Col.
Kiefer feels for the workingman. good
many years ago. before his friendship was as
intense as it Is now, and before he was worth
quite as much money. certain workingman
fell into his debt. This man had home
stead, which he had obtained near LIE Sueur.
Like other men he met with reverses, and
was obliged to give to Col. Kiefer, or to the
firm of which he was senior partner. Len
on his little property. That debt he was un-
able to pay; and the property, worth much
more than the face of the debt, passed out
OF his ownership.
So far there was nothing unusual about the
transaction. But it SO happened that this
workingman had friend of another stripe,
to whom he applied at last to save his farm.
That gentleman went to Col Kiefer and Of
fered him the full amount of the debt with
all interests and costs. But the equity of
redemption had recently expired, and there
was nc legal redress for the owner If the
tender was rejected. 1t was rejected with
out a moments hesitation. The margin Of
profit was too tempting: and if Richard
Walsh, living today in obscure poverty,
could be brought to address St. Paul audi
ence, he would have some views of his own
to give them on the subject of Col. Kiefer s
friendship for the workngman.
1t is easy to be friendly to others at
somebody elses expense. 1t is easy to
say that wages ought to be four or
six or eight dollars per day when you
don't have to pay them yourself, and to
promise from the public fund abundant
bounty to the man from whom you would per-
sonaIly extort the last dollar that he had in
the world if he were wholly in your power.
This is usually the meaning and disposition
of those who vaunt themselves upon the
stump the workingman's friends That this
Is the particular variety Of friendship which
Col. Kiefer has cultivated, to his own great
advantage and emolument, is abundantly
shown by his treatment Of more than one
poor man who ventured to- confde In his
honor in business transactions.

From the Boston (Mass.) Herald.
The more threatening danger to the in
migration bill at the stage it has now reached
is that it has been found to be political
mistake. The measure is not popular in GER
tain sections of the country. Republican
members of congress who are asked to vote
for it fear the disapprobation OF their con-
stituents There is large foreign element
in the West, especially, which has acted with
the Republican party. that finds an impu-
tation in the bill upon themselves that they
have not been good citizens. II reasoning is
to the effect that foreign immigration here
after should be restricted, the natural postu-
late is that We have found such foreign i'm
to the interests of the country.
