A VESSEL CAUGHT
IN A GALE.
The Lives of Four Hundred Peo-
pie In Danger.
LIFE SAVERS AFTER THEM.

Dangeness, Dec. 30-The life
savers today succeeded in estab-
communication with the
steamer Pelotas, which came
ashore last evening About 400
people are on board the vessel.
The ship signals urgent need of
assistance, but as yet no life boats
have been able to live in the tre-
mendous seas which are running.
The position of the vessel is
perilous, and the lives of those on
board are in grave danger. The
gale which has blown for two days
is the worst ever known in the
English channel.

Too Previous.

Having learned that Senator Quay
and his friends were inclining favor
ably toward the candidacy of General
Daniel McMurtrie Gregg for state
treasurer, David Martin, the Phiadel-
phia Press and other leaders and
organs of the recent "insurgent' move
ment are trying by vociferous praise
to mark General Gregg as their own.
The attempt is not likely to succeed
Gregg is not the property of any fac
tion. No man can own him. No man
can boss him. Least of all would he
identify himself with men disloval to
Republican organization or implicated
In the despicable recent conspiracy
against Senator Quay. Gregg is a sol
dier, a stalwart and a man of honor
Pettifoggers, pledge breakers and politi-
cal parasites belong to category which
he has no use for
General Gregg would make an excel
lent state treasurer and as a candidate
would poll the party's united strength,
with some Democratic votes besides.
His nomination would close the breach
In the Republican party's ranks so far
as that breach has been caused by
honest differences of opinion and judG-
ment, and it would doubtless pave the
way to a certainly most desirabl gem
eraI reconciliation. But if this result
Is 70 be brought about, David Martin,
the Philadelphia Press and men and
organs of their vindictivc and en-
venomed kind had better not attempt
10 pose as its sponsors. The next state
convention will be controlled not by
the enemies but by the friends of the
political leader whom they have hound
ed and maligned beyond precedent or
provccation, and not even General
Gregg's high character and marked
popularity could dominate a Quay con-
vention if used as pawns by insurgent
plotters.

The Rule of Merit.

The recollection yesterday OF County
Superintendent Taylor by a vote so
nearly unanimous as to amount to that
was a result upon which the people of
the county are to be congratulated.
Mr.. Taylors aggressive and intelligent
supervision of county educational in
tercsts has been of a character fully to
justify his retention i'm office.
Equally acceptable to the people is
the action of the Scranton board of con-
troll in re-electing City Superintendent
Howell without opposition. Mr.. Howell
has demonstrated under trying circum-
stances that he is the man for the
place. Under his direction the educa-
tional interests of the city have been
systematized and vitalized: worth and
not pull has governed the employment
and promotion of teachers and the en-
tire trend of city school work has been
forward and upward.
Good work is nowhere more dcserv-
ing of appreciative reward than in con-
nection with public instruction. The
good teacher and the good supervisor
of teachers are alike invaluable. When
found they should be retained in spite
of politics or factional clashing.

Spanish statistics are of dougtrul
utility, owing to their lack of accuracy.
But they are always certain to make
the best showing possible In view
OF that fact it is interesting to ra,aiC
that the official Spanish reports show
of public and private schools in 1897
one for each 1,517 of population, while
the official reports made to Great Brl. =
tain in 1893 show one school for every
1880 persons. The Spanish report for
1895 gave one public school for evcry
1880 of the inhabitants. with the ex.

schools were 'incomplete"-that is, lit
tie of anything was taught in them
excepting christian doctrine and .e-
ments of sacred history" The same
official Spanish report gave the at

as one for each twenty-five inhabi-
tants. Even the school books ls,l,
