A ScHooLBoY's CRIME.-At Sails
bury, N. H., yesterday evening, Frank
Bailey, aged seventeen years, shot and
killed Miss Harriet Prescott, his school
teacher. 1t seems that Bailey had
been paying much attention to his
teacher, who had told him that he
must stop calling on her. On two &C.
casions he followed her to her home
after school and went to the door and
asked to see her, but both times was
told that she was not in. This angered
Bailey and he told her that he would
see her or know the reason why. After
school yesterday evening he went up
and spoke to her. She made him some
answer that he did not like. Taking
pistol from his pocket he fred one shot
into her breast, just above the heart.
She was taken to her home, where she
died shortly afterward. Young Bailey
made his escape and has not been
found.

WEDNESDAY EVENING, MAR. %, 1889.

EVER SINCE the advent OF yellow
journalism, Geographic news from for
eign countries has been received mere
with any thing else than implicit cred
ence. The agents OF the journalism re
ferred to rightly imagine that their SER
vices will not be required if they fail
to supply sensational stuff, and SO if
nothing of that sort comes to hand,
ehey conceive it in their own fertile I'M
aeinations. Previous dispatches hay
ing reported ex-Secretary Sherman as
i'll. one of the agents referred to, i'm
agined that pneumonia would speed
ily kill a man of his advanced age and
feeble condition, and thought he would
geta scoop" by announcing his DEATH
and yesterday sent oil dispatch to
that effect. The result was the sale OF
3 few extras, and an Observance, by
some. of the old Roman maxim Say
nothing but good of the dead.

EAsTER.-Easter will be here this
wear before spring is hardly started. 1t
comes on April 2 and is earlier than it
has been for the past five years. On
last year tt fell upon the 10th of April,
and in 1856 it came upon the 25th-the
latest it ever comes. It will not arrive
on the 18th again until l943. AS the
date of Easter is fixed by calculating
the first Sunday after the first full moon
after the 23rd of March, the festival can
occur as early as the 23rd of March
and has done so. 10 17SS, 1915 and
1857 it fell upon that date and in 1913 1t
will be repeated. In 1896 Easter came
upon the 2Sth of March, which proved
to be the coolest and most inclement
day of the winter.

candidate, Judge Holcomb, carried five
of the congressional districts out of the
six, and lost the remaining district, (the
First by only 1000. The fusionists
made a gain of three district judges
and a large gain in county officers"
Mr. Bryan continued: Taken as
whole, the election returns from all the
states give encouragement to those who
hope for the overthrow of the Repub-
lican party in 1900. 1t is evident that
those who believed in the Chicago plat
form in 1896 still believe in ii. 1t is
also evident that hostility to the Chi
cago platform among those who OPP
posed it is not as pronounced as it was
in 1896. 1t is apparent also that there
is growing hostility to the .nonopolies
which have grown up under Repub-
lican administration.
Against Imperialism.
1T is safe to say that the American
people would. by a large majority, pro-
nounce against the attempt TO raise the
standing army to 100000 and it is equal
ly certain that upon a direct vote on
the issue, a large majority of the people
would pronounce against an imperial
istic policy which would develop here
colonial system after the pattern of
European governments.
IF the rebuke administered to the
Republicans at the polls had been more
severe, the prospect of remedial legis-
lation at the hands of the Republicans
would be brighter. While it was suffi-
cient to indicate that the people are
not satisfied with the Republican poll
cies, it may not have been sufficient
to stay the course of the Republican
party toward plutocracy and toward
the European idea, of a government
built upon force rather than upon the
consent of the governed-a government
relying for its safety upon a large
standing army rather than upon citi-
zen soldiery.'

is pointed out that the absence of
