DROPPING TEACHERs

The superintendent of the Minneapolis
schools recommended a principal or two
for discharge, whereupon the principals
friends rallied and made vigorous pro-
test to the school board. Thereupon the
Journal reads the protestants a lecture
on non-interference and advises the board
to stand by the superintendent, all In
the interests of discipline. All of which
is correct, with proviso that the school
board had chosen the right kind of a ST.
perintendent
Dropping teachers Is a necessary op-
Grafton. Some begin in inefficiency and
never get out of it. Some become so
through laziness. Some get above their
business, and want to run principals, fell
low teachers and the board The right
man in the superintendency, one too big
for envy or jealousy or petty spite, one
who is master by virtue of innate quail
tiles of character, one who knows his
business and is a good judge of charac-
ter, can do this cutting out in any sys-
tenn of schools with benefit, and such a
superintendent should be upheld by the
board, let the clamor be never so loud.
All Of which, however. points only to this
conclusion: That school boards should
be mighty careful in choosing a super
irttendent

HENDERSON, WILL Do.

The G o b is not necessarily deeply
concerned in the choice which the Repub-
lican brethren may make of a successor
to Thomas B. Reed as speaker of the
house of representatives The selection
is one which, no doubt will be made en-
tirely on the principle of the greatest APP
parent gain to the party in the majority
in congress. 1t Is not wholly without
pleasure, however, that it receives the in
telligence that the congressional states
men from Minnesota have agreed on the
support of Gen. Henderson, of Iowa.
The agreement on Gen. Henderson puts
an end at least to the far-sighted project
of flying column to be composed of the
house, device which no doubt had its
origin in the more or less laudable enter
prise Of securing as much Of the booty in
sight as possible and the glorification Of
that embryo candidate for gubernatorial
honors. the yoluble Jim" Tawney.
In support of the claims of Gen. Hender-
son many considerations can be urged
with advantage. He is a Western man,
the representative of a neighboring state,
a man of ability and of much liberality
of opinion. He has shown courage, dash
and freedom from many of the most OBJ
noxious qualities which appear to inhere
in Republican craftsmanship. He is not
a congressional martinez; he Is not at
all likely to develop into czar, so far as
the rights of the minority may be in
volved; he is sure not to follow in the
footsteps of either of those two distin-
guished incumbents of the office, Messrs.
Blaine and Colfax. He has never shown
himself to be the possessor Of any an
chors to be cast to the windward, and no
little memorandum book of the Cakes
Ames variety is ever likely to be opened
to his undoing.
OF all the embodied evils of the situa-
ton, from the representatives of the ma
Ign influence of Tom Plat to the product
of the pressure of the embalmed admins
tration, Gen. Henderson must be frankly
acknowledged to be the least -

COLLISION AT VICTORIA.
Two Freight Trains Wrecked Yes

Running at fast rate of speed two

fifty miles west of Minneapolis No one
was injured. but.@bo4h engines tenders
and several freight:8 cars were badly
wrecked. The ehgifeer and fireman of
each train saved, themselves by jumping.
The collision was between the regular
eastbound freight and wild freight.
westbound. Victoria is a blind" station
and the westbound freight is supposed to
have been trying to make the station to
side-track for the regular to pass. For
some reason the wild train did not
go into the siding, but continued ON the
main track. Just in front of the sta
ton the regular train appeared, running
at good rate of speed. Both, engineers
realized that a crash was inevitable and
reversed and threw on the air brakes;
and. with a warming cry to his fireman,
jumped for their lives. But the trains
met at the end of the station platform,
tearing into each other with great force.
The eastbound engine ground its way
through three-fourths ofs+the other en-

A MUzzLE FOR MARcHAND.

There might be some room for inquiry
as to the character in which the Partisan
public extended their demonstrative vel
come to Maj Marchand, were it not for
that Toulon speech of the explorer.
Something was said, during the intensest
versy as to Fashoda, about Marchand
conducting his explorations purely in tho
interest of science. The phrase was no
doubt the product of situation of ex-
IRENE tension. Just how far the Partisan.
and. presumably the French, people re-
gard Maj. Marchands career in Africa as
in the interest of science the events Of
the past twenty-four hours in Paris make
very plain.
Perhaps In no nation Of Europe, includ-
ing England, is jingoism so rampant as
among the body Of the French people.
Upon even slight provocation the spirit
blazes up from something akin to which
grew the armies of the Directory Even
the transient discussions of politics bring
out this disposition. 1t is truly a grave
temptation to a man in Marchand's pres
emf situation to undertake to glorify him
self and the occasion of his African jour
ney at the cost of the existing govern
ment. All that is needed to reach such a
condition of mind is an utter absence of
good taste and of the sense of discipline,
and a strong infection of personal am5i-
tion But he who would as this newest
of French heroes does, play on the ex-
citable feelings of the French people to
the throwing down of existing authority
must be an uncommonly strong man. IL

something like $1,000 which 1t is under

In the construction Of a path running
from Cleveland avenue to New Brighton
This enterprise Is one which merits the
heartiest condemnation. The construc-
ton of such path will be of no value
whatever. If ever built. the path Is III
most certain to be ignored for long
time to come by our wheelmen 1t Is de-
sirable from no point of view, leads to
nowhere in particular and its use is
doomed beforehand to be confined to the
favored residents of New Brighton. The
path would be out of the range Of cur
rent travel, either afoot or awheel. Nor
Is there anything, either in locality or
scenery, tc urge such an enterprise on
public consideration. The money which
would be thus uselessly expended might
with advantage be expended in other
directions. If, for instance, that sum
were spent in building a cycle path to
connect Como path at Como with the
path to White Bear. and in the improve
ment of the White Bear path it would be
expended TO the best possible advantage.
In many places the White Bear path is
narrow and dangerous. During the entire
summer season 1t will be general resort
for our cyclists. Persons who spend their
summer at the lake will have recourse to
desire to visit Como and White Bear will
be found travelling such a course IN great
numbers The scenery is all that can be
desired for a good portion of the distance.
1t is in the line OF popular suburban
travel
The county commissioners should take
this matter under their most serious con-
sideration at their. next meeting. The
suggestion is offered not with any view to
advancing any particular locality, but in
the interest of the expenditure Of public
funds to the greatest possible advantage.
Whether cycle path to New Brighton
may one day be built with advantage Is
one OF the problems of the future. With
the limited resources which can be devoted
to this most commendable and creditable
of our local enterprises, it would be mere
extravaganza and worthless extravaganza
at that, to expend any such sum, or, fer
the present, any sum, on the construction
of path TO New Brighton. Cycle paths
have now come to assume the character
of public thoroughfares. Such thorough
fares are built in directions in which the
public desire to travel, rather than in
directions in which individuals seek to
have them travel. Men and women
awheel literally crowd the paths to Como
and White Bear. The money in question
can be best expended In enabling them to
continue to do so with increased safety
and enjoyment.

AMERICAN SCHEME WINS.
Adopted by the subcommittee at
The Hague Conference.

THE HAGUE, June 1.-The American
mediation scheme was unanimously
adopted at yesterdays sitting Of the SUBJ
committee, which embodied as Article
VII. the scheme prepared by the SUBJ
committee with few alterations.
Commission No. has appointed a small
committee to settle the details of the
method of extending the Geneva conven-
ton to maritime warfare. The American
delegates proposed to apply to private
property at sea the article Of the Brus-
sells convention excluding from capture
private property on land.
An objection was raised to discussion
of the proposal on the ground that 1t was
not covered by Count Muravieff's circu-
lar. and ultimately 1t was decided to refer
the matter to plenary sitting of the con-
ference, which is expected to reject the
proposal, since France, Russia and Great
Britain oppose it.
