Mrs. L. A Flanagan is proving in
southern Ohio that good living, and
something more, is to be made in
agriculture, even in these times. A
large farm came under her manage
ment some years ago. She studied the
situation, then wrestled with it boldly.
By careful experimenting she dis
covered what her land was adapted to.
She has succeeded admirably with
mixed farming. fruit raising, grazing
and dairying, at the same time con-
stantly improving the land.

BLAME FOR MISSIONARIES.
lRev. a. w. Halsey.l


The missionary had his share in TO-
meningitis trouble, and must bear his
share of the blame. y
This remark was made by Rev. DR..

terrain board of foreign missions, VINO
spoke on The Present Situation in
church.
AT the close of the address DR.. Halsey
read a letter which he had just received
from DIR. A. y. FAIRIES, a Presbyterian
missionary in China. DR.. Halsey said
in part:
We have come to a crisis in the his
tory of the world. Never Was there a

Boston Evening Transcript
Recent unkind utterances at the
Methodist general conference and in
certain church papers regarding ex
travagance on the part of bishops in
the matter of travelling expenses have
called forth protesting statements from
own annual travelling expenses average
less than $3.50. The bishops bill GER
tainly looks modest He states that a
commercial traveller to whom he
showed his account Laughed long and
loud" and said: The house for which
Iwork allows me IS a day for travelling
expenses. This comparison unques-
tionably is most favora Bile to the bish-
op. One is reminded, however, that
there are certain necessary items of
heavy expenditure in the account of
successful drummer which are escaped
by an itinerant bishop. If Bishop Nc

uents as literally and as frequently as

part:

PoSTMAsTERS AND POLITICS.
Objectionable Activity Construed b.
the Department..

In the course of a letter to Representa-
tive Minor, First Assistant Postmaster
General Heath has set forth the attitude
of the Postofice Department on the ''po-
litical activity Of postmasters. Mr..
Minor asked he Department whether a
certain circular purporting to be an order
issued by President Cleveland had been
issued by order OF the Postmaster Gen
eral. The reply Is In part, as follows:
In answer TO your enquiry / have to
advise you that the circular is not being
sent to postmasters by the Postofiice de-
partment, nor does it correctly state the
order of the President OF July "a, 1885, in
asmuch as ii is a garbled statement. That
order expressly provides that Individual
interest and activity in political affairs are
by no means condemned. Oficeholders are
neither defrsnchised nor forbidden the ex-
ercise of political privilege just dis
elimination in this regard between the
things a citizen may properly do and the
purpose for which public office should
not be used. is easy in the light of cor
rect appreciation OF the relation between
the people and those entrusted with official
place
This has been construed by the Post
master General to forbid postmasters from
making their pos tOffices the rendezvous
of politicians and the place where political
subjects are discussed, and also forbidcing
them from neglecting their duties by over
activity in political matters. but it is not
intended TO prevent postmasters from free
exercise of all their privileges. the same
as any other good citizen"

TRACTION BILLS REPORTED.
The Senate Committee Acts on Sew
eral District Matters.

At the regular meeting of the Senate
Committee on the District of Columbia
yesterday, reports were rendered on bills
providing for certain extensions of the
Capital Traction Company, the Metropoli-
tan Railway Company, and the Anacosta
Railway Company.
The committee decided in favor of the
extension of the Capital Traction Com
pany's line on F and G. Streets. south OF
Pennsylvania Avenue and west of the
State, War. and Navy building. 1t is pro-
posed that certain cars shall run to George
town via and C Streets.
Two amendments are proposed by the
committee, the first of which extends the
lines from their present terminus at c
Street and New Jersey Avenue. through c
Street to Delaware Avenue, thence to B
Street north, TO the corner Of the Capitol
grounds and around the block bounded by
b, First, and c Streets and Delaware Ave
nue..
The second amendment provides for
change in the AHaeostia line. which Will
bring its tracks to the Library and the
Capitol
House bill 6243, to amend the charter OF
the Capital Traction Company, was ordered
favorabiy reported with an amendment
providing fer an underground electric rail-
way, beginning at the intersection OF
Pennsylvania Avenue and Eighth Streets
southeast, and easterly along Pennsylvania
Avenue TO Fifteenth Streets east, thence
south on Fifteenth Street to Street
south, east on X Street to the Circle, north
on the circle to Pennsylvania Avenue. and
westerly on PENNSYLVANIA Avenue to Fiji
teenth Street east.
The bill is amended to provide for
route On Pennsylvania Avenue TO the Circle
at X and Fifteenth Streets. to connect
with the double tracks at the intersection
of Pennsylvania Avenue and Fifteenth

feres with primary training in the schools.
and that is the disuse of text books. The
children are compelled to rely almost en-
tirely on oral instructions by the teachers,
without the use of books. Very few text
books. if any are placed in the hands OF
the pupils of the lower grades from which
they are required to learn lessons. Ihere
are undoubted improvements in the meth
DDS of common school education. but any
reform in educational matters may be car
ried TO excess The evidence shows that
too much time and attention are gwen
to experiments in methods of teaching
Enthusiastic reformers who believe in
their theories are apt to assume that
everything old is bad and everything new
invented by them is good and beneficial
The committee. however, does not propose
to say just how much of the so-called
nature studies may be used with benefit as
a supplement to the necessary drill OF chill
dren in the primary elements Of educa-
ton. but 1t believes that a competent
board would be able to regulate that mat
ter satisfactorily to all concerned.
There is much conflicting evidence With
regard TO faroritism, friction between the
teachers and the superintendent, and many
other disagreeable matters, the merits or
dement's OF which the committee does not
undertake to point out, criticise. or decide
Believing that the true remedy. so far as
Congress is concerned, is to provide COM
petent, wellorganized board of education,
which can investigate and regulate every
subject connected with the management of
the public schools. improve their methods,
and make them efficient the committee
therefore does not recommend detailed leg
islation.
''The committee disclaims any intention
to reflect upon anyone connected with the
public schools of the District, or upon the
Commissioners. and believes the defects
land there are many which the committee
regard as grave errors) are more the result
of the systems than OF an Intentional
wrongdoing on the part Of anyone
