Naming school BUILDINGS.

To the Editor of the Indiastapolis Journal:
Referring to your article in this morn
ing's Journal upon naming the city schools,
1 beg to inform you that the Board of
School Commissioners has already begun
the naming of the schoolhouses, for in
stance, the High School. on North Penn
sylvania street, has been named the
"Shortridge" High School, in honor of Prof.
A. c. Shortridge This custom will prevail
in the future when suitable names present
themselves. 1t is not the desire of the
board to use their own names, nor the
names of politicians, but the names of in
dividuals who have been interested in edu-
cation This will take time, and in the in
terval the number will answer for designa-

From the forcible suppression of piracy by

unbroken. In 1710 it had 5000 inhabitants,
in 1850 it had r. 900, and in 1776 ii had 10000,
its population being only exceeded by Bos-
ton and Philadelphia The distinguishing
features of the town, as compared with
other American communities, were Its di-
verse ethnic elements, the presence and
dominance of a powerful ariStocratic class
and the turbulence of its lower and criminal
classes. The aristocracy was led by the
PATRONS, who lived in feudal estate in the
country and had town houses in New York
and Albany, and by the merchants, whose
formed the substratum of the criminal class,
which was swelled by the imported bond

the execution of four whites. the hanging

There was fifth war with France ;n 1900, which. however, lasted but few weeks, and, although naval operations were active for short time, an open declaration and conflict was prevented by negotiations be- tween the two countries.

STRONG POSITION OF COPPER

There are many and good reasons for the failure of the bears to break copper prices, says the Los Angeles Review. First the statistical position is such as to be factor against lower prices; second, the consumption is in- creasing in a ratio greater than tue in- crease in production; third. the situs- ton in Spain is such that the copper output of that country is likely to be interfered with at any moment by in- ternsl political dissensions. But first of all let us see what was the extent of the increase in the United States for the month of April of this year over tho corresponding month of last year, which the "bears" on the eastern mar kets were endeavoring to utilize as a club to beat prices of copper down. The figures are taken from MT. John Stanton's report, statistician at Boston for the producing copper companies of the United States. He reports that the copper output of the chief producing copper mines in the United States for April, 1898, was 22,909 long tons of fine copper, as against Y, 464 for April, 1897, the increase being 5445 long tons. Now, while the increase seems, at first blush, large it loses its significance in the further fact that there are, prscti- cslly, no stocks on hand; the supply visible at the beginning of the year has vanished in increased requirements, while, over and above all is the rscog- nized fact that further requirements are in advance of production. It is little wonder, then, that the "bears" failed to beat down prices; the position they attacked was impregnable.

Up to the present time President Me Kinley has appointed fifteen major gen erals and fiity.seven brigadiers, making a total of seyenty.two general officers available for the troops to be mustered under the first call. No doubt addi- tional generals will continue to be appointed, says the Boston Herald, but the number will nowhere near approach the long roll appointed at the outbreak of the war of the re- bellion. At one period there were no less than seventy four mnjor-genersls and PFC bTigadiers on the rolls, which was far more than there was any use for. President Lincoln recognized this mistake before anybody else, but he eonsoled himself by joking about it. It is recalled that on one occasion, when one of these superfuous generals was captured by the enemy, with & number of men and horses, somebody undertook to condole with the Presi- dent on the subject, remarking that the loss of the captured generals service was a great misfortune to the govern. ment. "Pooh !" replied Lincoln. ''it's the horses I'm thinking about. can make another brigadisr- general in two minutes, but horses are scarce and cost s200 apiece"

With the retirement of John O. Dun- bar from the editorial management of the Arizona Gazette that paper has lost the man who stamped it with his ipdi- yiduality and made it what it was The Gazette has for ten years reflected the opinions and strong personality of Mr. Dunbar, and although cratic and in- consistent as the editorial policy was, the Gazette has, nevertheless, held a unique and prominent place in Arizona journalism, and has exertsd decided influence on the politics of Maricops county and of the territory. Legiti. mate journalism in Arizona offers little inducement to the man ambitious of place or fortune. The editors ability and influence is used in behalf Of oth- CTS, as a rule his interiors in intellect and character, who rise to political or social prominence from his shoulders, and ipgratss as most public men are, as soon as they think themselves safely landed, they kick down the ladder by which they climbed to success.
