should be a Republican. the State having gone Republican last month. and he per sistently endeavored to i'd an eminent Re- publican who would accept the short ser vice Judge Collins. of the highest court of the State. refused the appointment, be- cause he would thereby forfeit six years of service on the bench. and so did the other eminent Republicans.
 Governor Linds action is in strong con- trast with the action of Republican Gov ernors, not one of whom was ever known to respect the sentiment of theis respective State or the delicacy of a situation. Sena- tors by appointment are always partisan whether they be representative or not, and Governor Lind bravely endeavored to set a precedent of another sort.
 He finally appointed ex-Congressman Charles A. Towne, who is a silver Repub- liean. No gold Republican of prominence would accept the appointment, which is really for a single month, when the Legis- lature of Minnesota will be in session. There are many aspirants, and MT. Towne's name is not one of the number; but that fact does not take from Governor Lind the credit he deserves in trying to substi- tute good politics for bad politics.

4 Handsome Increase.

An addition of $1O0OO0 to the fund for the benefit of the public schol children is a noble as well as an unexpected appropria- tion. It carries the sum total devoted to free public education to point probably equal to that of any other state when accumu- lated wealth and income are taken into con- sideration. In other words, Alabama gives to her children as large proportion of her total income as any state gives, no matter how far north it be located. We have not all the figures at hand with which to sus- tain this statement, but we feel sure of Its correctness. At any rate Alabama is talk ing no backward step, and the Legislature of 19O0-01 will be recalled for its wise lib- erality to the 100000 children of the State; The appropriation means that the citizens of the State in the next generation will be good cltizens-citizens that can read, write and cipher It means that illiteracy Is to be reduced and the State rescued from the position of tailender
 But in addition to voting the money. the
  ucational fund of the State be handled and manipulated by competent county super intendents. Let us have at least one of- flee that politicians cannot turn to account. Let us put the chi:drens welfare beyond their reach. The incompetent county super intendent, who does not know a good school when he sees one, is the curse of the State today-the drawback to educational prog ress, the promoter of illiteracy. While we have incompetent county superintendents the educational appropriations are to some extent wasted, for the want of intelligence and educational magnetism in the county superintendent dwarfs its value to the chill dren. Let us have superintendents who hold first-grade certificates. In order to do this the Legislature must rise superior to the ring of county superintendents, who are well organized; it must, in a word, sub stitute educational progress for dirty pol tiles. Will it do 1t?
 But the Legislature should go one step further-it should see that every dollar of the s1, 100. 900 it has appropriated goes to the children. This it can best do by prohib- lting the little conspiracies against the bare-footed boys and girls called "pay" schools. Let the pay schools be pay schools outside of the public school system, and do not let them masquerade as public schools. The mixture is a wrong and an an insult to the poorer children of the State.

TARIFF AND SHIPPING.

From the Boston Herald.
 It is generally remarked that President Mckinley has given the tariff a rest from direct consideration in his message. What he says there in favor of reciprocity treaties is on the side of liberality in customs duties and tends against the protective policy with which he has been so much identified His support of subsidies to shipping is, however, reminiscence of earlier delusion He would have American shipping aided, but in an empirical manner. If he would go to the root of the matter, and leave American shipping unhampered by unwise laws assumed to be for the protection of less important industries, the shipping in- dustry might easily take care of itself. In- deed, 1t is in a way to do this just now, de- spite the unnecessary and understandable burdens that have been put upon it.

CABINET MEETING
Devoted to Discussion of Coinage for
 the Philippines.

Washington, December 2. - The cabinet meeting today was largely devoted to dis cussion of the question of coinage for the Philippines. Nearly all the business of the islands is transacted in Mexican dollars, and army comnlissaries and others sup piled with United States money are at times greatly embarrassed in making puy- chases from the Filipinos by the fact that they know nothing of our money or it's value, and often refuse to accept it. The proposition which seems to have met with favor with the administration is to pur- chase silver bullion at the present market price and coin 1t into distinctive dollars having gold value of about 50 cents each. These dollars will probably contain a lit tie less. silver than the present standard dollars
 The cabinet also discussed the House bill revising the war revenue act, which pro- poses a cut of about $40,O 900 in the reve- nues. There is no difference of opinion among the members of the administration on this subject all thinking that the cut is too deep and agreeing that it would be unwise in the extreme to make the cut greater than S30,0O0,000.

JOCKEY REiFF
Says the Stewards of English Jockey
 Club arc Fair.

New York, December 7.-Lester Reiff, the jockey, was interviewed today concerning the decision of the English Jockey Club in his case. He refused to discuss. the Sloan decision. He said; "The stewards of the English Jockey Club are undeniably fair. That they would exonerate me l knew in advance. There was nothing else for them to do. have heard let of talk about MT
 Croker bringing suit against the Jockey Club on account of these charges and also that I should contemplate the same thing. I cannot speak for MT Croker of course, although I doubt that he intends anything of that kind, but for myself l can say that I have no thought of suing, and I cannot see exactly on what ground I should do it."

Washington Correspondence to Chic; Herald

Washington Correspondence to Chicago
 Herald
 The President wrote his message with his own hand. As usual he had memoran- da furnished from the several executive departments. He did not, however, clap the manuscript into his message as most of his predecessors have done with few eras- ures and interlineations, but he carefully rewrote every line submitted by his Cabi- net Ministers and other officers of the Gov ernment. He also is in the habit of dictat- ing most of his messages and speeches, but nearly all of the message was written in his own hand. He does not write as much as President Cleveland did The latter sell dom used a stenographer even in answer ing his correspondence.
 Nearly one-half of the entire message is devoted to foreign affairs, The pamphlet edition contains forty-four and one-half pages. The foreign part is little short of twenty-two and six pages are devoted to a reprint of his instructions to the Philip pine Commission.

HEAVENS DISTANT LAMPS.

H. w. Longfellow. We see but dimly through the mists and
 vapors,
 Amid these earthly damps What seem to us dim, funeral tapers May be heavens distant lamps. There is no death! What seems so is tram
 siton;
 This life of mortal breath Is but suburb of a life elysian. Whose portal we call death. She is not dead-the child of our affection But gone unto that school Where she no longer needs our poor pro-
 lection,
 And Christ Himself doth rule. In that great closter's stiffness and seclu-
 sion,
 By guardian angels led, Safe from temptation, safe from sins pol
 lution,
 She lives, whom we call dead. Day after day we think what she is doing In those bright realms of air; Year after year. her tender steps pursuing. Behold her grown more fair Thus do we talk with her, and keep un-
 broken
 The bond which nature gives, Thinking that our remembrance. though
 unspoken,
 May reach her where she lives. Not as a child shall we again behold her. For when with rapture wild In our embraces we again enfold her, She will not be a child, But a fair maiden in her Fathers mansion, Clothed with celestial grace. And beautiful with all the souls expansion Shall we behold her face.

 Peculiar Situation.

Newark, O., December 7.-The~0hto Fed eration of Labor Convention came to. a close at 12:35 this afternoon under the stormiest conditions which ever marked a session of that body. Dayton, Nit.

RAILROAD ACCIDENTS IN MEXICO.
From the Boston Herald.

From the Boston Herald.
 Railway accidents down in Mexico are very serious affairs for those who are re- sponsible for them. They do not exactly chain their directors to the cowcatchers on their trains, but they have a law which makes a fatal accident on a railroad train punishable with death to the person or per sons through whose ignorance pr careless ness such an accident occurs This ex- plains the sudden disappearance of the en- gineer and fireman of the latest wrecked train down there and the threat to lynch them lest they might escape across the border before being overtaken by the of ficers of the law. It is superfuous to re- mark that railroad accidents are of com paratively rare occurrence in Mexico.

REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR.

From the New York Press.
 Woman is one-half mystery and the other half mister.
 Every widow under forty when she goes where there are any men, ought to be made to wear a cow-bell.
 The more a man learns tine less proud he is of himself, but woman never knows enough to know she doesn't know much.
 Nothing in the world makes girl feel so uncomfortable as to think she is going to sneeze just when a man is coming to the point.
 No matter how small baby is when 1t is born a woman always knows of smaller one that was so little it's head would go into a teacup.

THE wINANs' DEATH DUTIES.

From the Chicago Chronicle
 The case of MT. Winans, whose estate will have to pay death duties of nearly $f- 0OO,OOo, shows that, though the American millionaire may during life dodge the taxes by expatrating himself, the British govern ment reimburses itself from his heirs There is certain consolation in the knowledge that, Enough the taxes are lost to the Uni ted States, they cannot be evaded alto gether.

Taxation as conducted by the Repub- lican party is, in its last analysis, the re- lief of the rich and the burdening of the poor. The rich are in the saddleya and the poor are not, and so taxation is fashioned to suit the few wholly regardless of the many
