man of the PEOPLES party, tomorrow

National Committee Of that party at
Lincoln. Neb. The date has not yet
been definitely settled, but will be about
thu 18th or goth of next month. The
committee will decide u2on the time
and place for the next Populist Ma
tional convention. Senator Butler de-
clares that there is no significance in
the selection.
II asked the members Of the National
Committee" said he to- day, where
they would like to meet, and I felt
bound. OF course, to abide by their de-
cislon. There was no majority vote for
any one place. but the plurality was
In favor of Lincoln. I think this is
due to the fact that the Populist State
Committee sent out word that 1t would
be glad TO entertain the committee
there"
The action of the Populists, it Is
learned. is without the knowledge of
Mr.. Bryan. 1t is said that the first in
timaton of the proposed action will
come to him when he reads the call
which is to be issued to-day. a ma
1ority of the National Committee, it is
learned. now favor holding the Popu!ist
convention some time in May or early

MODE OF TEACHING MATHE-
MATICS.

1 have wished for some time to call
the attention of those Interested in the
public school to the mode of teaching
mathematics now used i'll the schools
of Portsmouth, and to question those
who have the power to direct these
studies IL they are satisfied that this
system yields the best results.
Ii l am correctly informed, the class
is given an example, or problem. by
the teacher. The scholar who first an
nounces the correct answer is given q
credit: those even Il moment behind,
no matter how we'll they may under
stand the work to be done, are denied
any credit at all for the lesson.
Now, does not every one know that
all minds do not move with equal "a
pidity? Is it fair to condemn the child
who thinks correctly, but not swiftly,
for n weakness that is no fault of
theirs? Is It to stimulate these slow
moving minds that this system is per-
sued Does it not rather have a ten
dency to increase nervousness? Does
1T not, to those who daily fail to be
first cause feeling Of depression. and
injustice? Apply this to yourself, my
reader. Imagine yourself trying every
day to do something and every day
failing IL n feeling of apathy does not
result, you are the exception and not
the rule.
Our children are already given more
work Ia the schnnls-than is healthful,
without battling with a sense of being
uniustly treated, and I ask the School
Board to look into this matter. 1t Is
decidedly one of Importance.

AFTER INCONSISTENCIES.
They Make Their Escape, but Leave
Part of Their Still Behind

Tuesday Deputy Collector p. III. Lar
kin and a posse went to Bowers Hill
In search of moonshners who had been
reported as being in that locality. on
Michael Bass farm. The party left the
city and went by fuckers Crossing,
and started toward Bowers Hill, but
got lost in the woods and were some
time in getting out.
In the meantime the moonshincrs
were making good their escape, having
gotten word that the officers were OH
their track. The party found an open
space and in 1t was all the phara phsna-
liza. etc. The still and worm had been
removed. a fire smoidercd in the fur
mace, showing that the men had been
at work.
Mr.. LarlSin thinks that If the party
had not gotten lost in the woods he
would have come IN with his men.
They destroyed some mash several
mash tubs and other appliances. The
still of an old stand was run into and
1t was thought that possibly it was
where these people had finally operated.
The authorities think they know who
the parties are. but have not given out
their names. The mon, however. are
out of the hands of the law thus far.

tence in the city Jail and was dis
charged Tuesday night, while coming
down King street. near Emngham. he
saw line OF clothes hanging out, and
the desire to become the owner seized
him. So he went in the yard. took

to his own use. Officers Culpepper and
Dillsbury saw him with the clothes and
carried him to the statlon-h house.
Yesterday he had a hearing before
Mayor Baird. who gave him six months
i'm jail. 1t is evident that he did not
value his liberty much.

MORA RESIGNS.
Acting Mayor of Havana Disgruntled
and Decides to Retire.

Havana, May 2.-Senor Estrada Mora
resigned the office of acting mayor to-
DAY, giving as a reason the pressure of
private affairs. Fol some time, it had
been recognized, however, that he would
not serve out the entire term, as he ev-
identity feared to shoulder the RESPONSE
bility of many things lone during the
last L months under. as he alleged,
military dictation."
Without doubt his connection with
the Havana charter commission also
influenced him. The commission was al
SO particularly obnoxious to the mem
bers of the municipality, especially as
only one of the commissioners did not
receive pay in some other branch of the
government service
Senior Mederos, assistant mayor, who
IS also a councilman. has been offered
the post of acting mayor, but it is not
expected that he will accept, there be-
ing only a little over six weeks left in
the mayoralty term and the credit to be
being virtually nothing, while.
on the other hand, the possibilities of
od1um are considerable.
