Republican committee. is here in the
interest Of Senator Quay and +. A..
Van Valkenburg, of the Business Mems
league, is looking, after; the antl-Quay
forces. The headquarters OF the two
factions were closed to-day and no ef-
fort was made By either side to make
votes. EI-. j.
Mr.. Elkin said Tonight he had every
reason TO believe that Senator Quay
would be reelected. Mr. Van Yufken-
burg said Just the, reverse. He claims
not a break has been made In The anti
Quay lines. and predicts Mr.. Quay Will
fall % short of 4 majority In the house
on Tuesday. AS

TOW on Wednesday," Mr.: Van Ealken-
burg said. when on joint ballot; there
will be q majority against him too large

Senator Quay's friends declare he Is
so confident OF his reelection that he
will start Thursday fora months fish,
Ing at st. Lucic. Fla. Senator Vest, OF
Missouri, and Dr.. L. Webster Fox, of
Philadelphia. will go with him. There
are less than n score OF legislators here

neither faction Is ovGr-confident as 10

A WISE SOLUTION.

The Free Press believes that the
board of education did wise thing
when it disposed of the matter of mid
year promotions in the way which it
did We believe that Supt. Uline is
fully qualified to handle the question
for the best interests of all concerned,
and that he will exercise good judg-
znent in what is done. The expression
of the school committee in deciding to
leave the matter wholly to him and
supporting him in what he does is, we
believe, a further evidence of wisdom
and will work for the best results. Ii
a superintendent is worthy of being
trusted with the management of the
lchools, it would seem that his judg-
ment Gus hit to be relied upon in this
matter. The tone of Supt. Uline's re-
port to the board, which was given in
full last evening, shows that he has the
question we'll in hand, and it would
seem that the working of it out on the
lines he sets forth cannot help but
prove beneficial to the schools. 1t will
give those who are prepared to go on, a
chance to go, and those who are not will
remain for further preparation. AS we
gather from Supt. Ulines report, the
anid-year promotion should not be re.
garded as general class promotion as
is the case at the close of the year, but
a chance for the very best, those who
are able to go on with more advanced

President Davis, of the board of edu-
cation, expressed sound, practical,
level-headed view the other evening
when he entered protest against oblig-
ing the superintendent of the city
schools doing class room work. 1t is,
as he we'll said, piece of false economy
that thould be remedied, and the sooner
the better for the good of the schools.
The entire time of the superintendent
is needed in the supervision of the
the schools, and any time that may be
taken up in the class room is simply
detracting from the attention which
the schools deserve 1t is matter
that demands the serious attention of
the board and it is to be hoped that
that body will follow the good ADVICE
of its president, and not longer attempt
such short sighted economy at such
cost to the real good of the schools.
The Mankato free press. [volume] (Mankato, Blue Earth County, Minn.) 1879-1924, 1899-12-29

work, to do1 So 1t would seem that
this is the correct method. 1t gives
those who are able the chance to go
ahead. 1t holds none back because the
majority cannot go as fast as they can,
and it makes the public schools just
what they should be. the schools OF the
people. Thoroughness should be the
aim, and capability to do more ad,
vanced work the one test of advance
ment.
AS to the mid-year promotions, we
believe Mr.. Coughlan struck the key
note in the discussion of the, matter,
when he said that if the pupil was ca.
pable of going ahead, he"ought to be
allowed to go. That the stayiof the
majority of the pupils in the schools
will be short enough at the best, and
that if mid-year promotions would
tend to advance them further than
would otherwise be the case, it was the
duty of the board to encourage it, keep
ing in mind that only those who are
prepared shall be advanced,
This is good practical sense and should
be closely followed.

man ought to know that a prayer that
needs to be interpreted, never ought to

cannot see where he has bettered the
situation much by his explanation. 1t
looks as though he was somewhat net

But he will hardly be able to do so.

upon as much of an American express
sion and no amount of explaining as to
what was really meant by it will in the
least improve it. Riley did not want
victory to rest with our troops
at least so he prayed. In war
when victory does not rest with an
army, defeat is generally attendant. 1t
should be remembered that it was at
this meeting that Gov. Lind expressed
himself in hearty accord with the ex-
pressions made. And he has since been
indulging in some explanations.

OUTWITTING ROTHsCHILD.

OUTWITTING ROTHSCHILD.
The Scheme Shrewd Dealer Worked
on the Astute Banker.
A amusing story, told in the Memo
ries of an Old Collector" makes clear
the tricks in trade to which an unscru-
pulous dealer in antiquities will resort
in order to get large sum for his
wares. The two parties were Alessan-
dro Castellani, the clever dealer, and
Baron Adolph Rothschild of Paris.
Castellani had managed to get hold of
superb enameled ever, together with
the dish on which it stood He knew
that Baron Adolph had fancy for OBJ
jects of this kind, but he also knew that
no Rothschild was ever so carried away
by his fancy as to pay more than was
reasonable for anything that pleased
him. Castellani who in trade was what
Machavelli was in politics, devised a
bit of strategy.
The baron. on arriving in Rome. Wis
tied Castelanis shop and was shown
the best things the dealer had, except
the enameled dish and ever When ev-
erything else had been inspected Cas-
tellani drew from a hidden cupboard
the dish, but not the ever. The baron
was so pleased with the dish that he
agreed to buy the lot of which it was
part, for one of the customs of the shop
was not to sell rare specimen apart
the group of which it formed the prin-
ciple object. The baron paid heavily
for the whole lamenting that there
was no ever to stand on the dish, and
departed for Florence.
There he was visited by an agent who
told him of an old lady who wished to
sell several beautiful majolica pieces.
He visited her house in the country and
was disappointed, as the majolica lady,
seemingly chargined. left the room to
order refreshments, and the baron saw
throug the open door of bedroom a
ever covered by glass shade on which
rested wreath of immortelles.
When the lady returned, the baron
asked permission to examine the ever.
1t was brought out. and the baron saw
that the enamel was of the same work
as that of the dish he had bought. but
he wished to be certain that the foot OF
the ever would fit into the hollow of
the dish. He inquired the price of the
ever and was told by the lady that 1t
was not for sale, as it was the only SOU
venir she possessed of her husband.
The baron went back to his rooms,
had the dish unpacked and found that
the foot of the ever fitted it perfectly.
The next day the baron sent the agent
to offer the old lady princey sum for
the ever He brought back a refusal
to sell. But at last the widows scruples
We're overcome.
Castellani, with his Italian cunning.
had planned the whole affair. The agent
who called and the old lady who was
sentiment We're his aids in making the
baron pay a much larger sum than he
would have given had ever and dish
been sold together. The Italian shop
mans scheme had taken in the Jewish
banker, reputed one of the most astute
of business men.
