school ma'ams. young inexperienced
school girls, without any proper con-
ception of the meaning of education,
without real knowledge of either the
science or art Of pedagogy, with no
well-defined purpose except to keep
school, with as little friction as pos
sible according to the 'ime-honored
traditions of TIE district, and more
than that, without competent supervi-
sion.
1t is to remedy this last defect, lack
Of supervision, that Supt. Harvey has
had the bill introduced into the legis-
lature, a synopsis OF which was given
in these columns recently. The bill
if it becomes law will make other
reforms but its main purpose is to
put the common schools of the state
into such an organic relation with the
state superintendent and corps Of
district inspectors that a reasonable
supervision Of the work OF rural
teachers may be secured. 1t is be-
lieved that most Of the other defects
will be cured or at least lessened if
the inexperienced teachers, as most Of
of them are, Of county schools can
have the personal guidanbe and as
sistance of scholarly inspectors, skilled
in the art of teaching.
The limits of this article will not
permit the discussion in detail OF the
various provisions of the proposed
law. 1t has the endorsement
Of the state teachers association of
Wisconsin, of most of the prominent
educators of the state and is being &C.
lively urged for enactment by our
own state uperintendent than whom
there is no man in the northwest bet
ter qualified to Judge of the needs Of
common schools.
The most serious objection urged
against the bill is to the appointment
of inspectors to take the place of
county superintendent now elected
by the people, and small-bore politi-
clans all over the state are trying to
curry favor by opposing the bill on
the ground that it is calculated to
wrest from the people a"bloodbought
prerogative."
All that kind of talk is the veriest
nonsense. There is no more inherent
right of the people to vote for super
intendents than to vote for the teach
ers of schools. The selection of
teachers is universally left to boards
and in most cities the selection of SUI
perintendents is likewise in the hands
Of appointing boards. Whether in
spectors shall be appointed or elected
by popular vote is question of poll
icy. school teachers and superinten-
dents are administrative officers and
there is blood bought prerogative'
requiring their election by popular
vote more than there is demanding
the election Of superintendent Of
farmers Institutes or an inspector of
high schools.
Our common schools demand inn
provement; Supt Harvey's bin gives
promise Of substantial reforms; the
experiment. if such it be called, is
worth trial; if it prove unsatisfact-
DRY it will be an easy matter to re-
turn to the present system

Temperance Commissioner.

The prospects indicate that the
temperance commissioner hill will be
introduced in the legislature at this
session, but in a greatly different
form from that of two years ago.
Realizing the financial condition Of
the state treasury, it is The intention
10 make the office practically self
supporting, SO that it may not be a
burden to the state
The new bill will, it is said, take
the granting Of druggists permits out
of the hands Of the county judges and
instead, place that authority in the
hands OF the district judges. With
change in the divorce law
the district judges will have ample
time to hear the permit application
cases. All clerical work now i'm
posed upon the county judges will he
done by the temperance commission
err and all fees now paid to the coun.
ties under the permit law will be
turned into the state treasury. With
possibly few exceptions the counties
will he benefited financially by the
change, it is claimed, as the special
salaries for this work now paid the
county judges age regate more than
the fees derived from the drug stores.
Some counties are short a few hum
dred dollars a year in the transac-
tons. If these tees are turned into
the state, they will pay the salary Of
the temperance commissioner and
his deputies and their expenses.
Thus the drug stores will be more
strictly look after and the blind-pigs
will be doomed.
This plan seems to meet with favor
among many of those who opposed
the bill presented two years ago and
the republican leaders who are
pledged to further the strict enforce
ment OF the law, are greatly pleased
with this new and practical solution
ct the problem. 1t is reported thar
the temperance workers and leaders
will trust the fate of the new bill in
the hands Of the republican party
who will receive all the glory and
commentator for its passage.

ORDER misunderstood.
Cubans Are Not SO WrathfuI as Has
Been RepOrted

WASHINGTON. Jan. 4.-Regarding
the senatorial reports from Santiago
that the whole province had been in
named by the recent order Of the war
department concentrating all customs
money in Havana" thus threatening a
Stoppage of ali public improvements
and threatening to throw thousands OF
Cubans out of work, 1t may be author
ltatlvely said that any excitement
existing in Santiago is due to a misap-
prehension of the war departments or
der. 1t seems to have been taken for
granted that the order contemplated
sending all currency collected for Gus
toms to Havana and cutting off the
governor of Santiago province from the
employment of local labor. The fact is
that the officers in charge of customs
at the various ports of entry are mere
ly ordered to make weekly reports to
the collector of customs of the island
at the chief port of all transactions at
the SUPPORT. at which he may have jur-
isdiction with copies of entries Of
merchandise duly certified The GUS
toms from all ports In the island are to
be used for the betterment of the
Cubans, not only in Havana and San
tlago, but elsewhere.

Republican senators and members who
signed the pledge not to take part in

ed today to keep up the fight against
Senator Quay until after the supreme
court has disposed of the Peoples bank
conspiracy cases. The meeting was at
tended by nearly all the signers and
two others who did not sign, but kept
away from the caucus. The committee
issued an address in which they state:
In our present attitude we are prompted
by what we believe to be the best interest
OF our party and state. We believe that a
Republican senator should and will be elected
and that no combination Of circumstances
can prevent it. We believe that the unques-
toned sentiment of the Republicans OF the
commonwealth Is against taking action that
might result in the election of person as
United States senator who is charged with
crime before his innocence Is established in
a court OF justice and that the failure to de-
termfne that question prior to this time Is
due to the act OF the alleged caucus nominee
lin delaying trial and not to any act OF ours.
We feel that in justice to the public and
our own sense Of self respect and duty We
are justified In refusing to be committed to
any proposition that might cast a stigma
upon our commonwealth and our integrity
as citizens and legislators
Feeling that we are sustained In our po-
sitlon by the unbiased sentiment of the state

crime, 50 long as these charges remain IN
