An Old Irish Pedagogue.

Under the new pressure the old race
of classical pedagogues dwindled and
vanished. A few, very few of the
fine old scholars still linger, rare as
the red deer Of Erin, says P. G. Smythe
in Donahoe's Magazine. One of the
last Of the species was discovered five
or six years ago by Mr.. William
O'Brien, NJ. p, in the person Of Tom
Duffy, poor, old, emaciated, of
Lochaun-nyalla (the little lake of the
cliff, near Croagh Patrick. The old
man, resting on a rock on the bleak
mountain side, looked about 90 at the
least.
"What does that matter?" he asked
Indignantly, as soon as he began to
rouse his faculties and shake his stick.
II was just on my way to smoke a
pipe with an older man than myself,
away back-nil ego contulerim jocundo
sanus amico" The classic words
warmed him like old wine. His head
was thrown back. his eyes afire, his
voice rolled vigorously from the chest,
his oak stick partook the enthusiasm,
while he burst into whole pages of
Horace, and Virgil and Ovid. 1t was
not in the least a matter of display. 1t
was simply audible solliquy. 1t was
the delight of learning for learning's
sake, such as one dares not hope to
find in a lackadaisical modern univer-
sity. Prosody transformed him like
one Of DR.. Faustus potions. While |
was humbly wondering at his Latin
quantities he was off into Greek verse.
A collection was subsequently made
for the aged scholar. When the local
clergyman presented it to him, Magis-
ter Duffy remarked: "Pedagogus iste
totaliter extinctus est"

PEOPLE SHOULD RETAIN CONTROL.

calvin Rice is young man of
abundant life and energy and willing
TO give freely of his best efforts to the
work which ms member of the Coun-
ell he would be called upon to do
Beacon.
This palaver about ''young man of
abundant life and energy and willing
to give freely of his best efforts"
which sounds like garbled extract
from latter day matrimonial adver-
tlsement, is doubtless a slap at Mr.. o.
age and ripe and impartial judgment
who is now representing the Second
ward in the Council.
But the condemning OF q young man
of abundant life and energy" TO
season of certain inactivity in the
Council would be entirely too inhu.
name for the fair-mlnded voters of the
Second ward to contemplate for even
a minute.
If Mr.. Rice and some of his fellow
Republican candidates are elected they
will have about as much to do with
running the city as the nominal edi-
tor has with running the Beacon.
In other words, the Proxy system,
that now dominates the Board of City
Commissioners and Executive depart
ments of City work, is now reaching
out for the control of the Council, the
legislative branch of the city, and the

GOOD WORDS FOR MR.. PIsKE.

Editor Seybold, of the Germanis,
gives Mr.. August Piske, the Democrat
ic candidate for Council from the
Fourth ward, the following splendid
commendation:
Mr. August Piske, the Democratic
candidate for Council from the
Fourth ward is one of Akron's best
men and most respected German citi-
zens. He is not looking for political
honors, but accepted the nomination
at the request Of his friends.
Years ago Mr.. Piske was employed
in the Buckeye works, but for the past
Ia years has been one Of the American
Cereal Company's trustworthy en-
ployes. Everything he says or does is
absolutely reliable and If elected to the
Council, he will be credit to the
ward.
He is a man of few words, but he
means exactly what he says. You can.
not under any consideration buy his
vote, because he is too good and re-
spected a citizen for that. Every
citizen of the Fourth ward should go
to the polls next Monday and cost his
vote for Mr.. Piske.

A State Educational commission Of
four is provided for in a bill intro.
duced by Mr.. Smith of Cuyahoga. The
commission, non-partisan, is to be
charged with the duty Of devising a
system of textbooks, and the selec-
tions made cannot be changed for 10
years.
A bill introduced by Mr.. Mccormick
gives the State Board of Public Works
authority to lease the berme bank and
towpath of The Ohio canal and the Co.
lumbus feeder for railroad purposes.
The bill contains provisions to phohibit
interference with navigation, and all
other necessary safeguards.
Mr.. Middleswart introduced bill to
compel foreign insurance companies
to arbitrate differences with Ohio in
surers in this State, instead of at head
quarters, and Mr.. Snyder, a bill to fine
$500 and imprison six months agents
of life insurance companies who make
false representations in the settlement
of claims.
A bill by Mr.. Gear, similar to one in
troduced by Mr.. Mccormick few
days ago, reduces the fees of the tax
inquisitors to Is per cent.
Mr.. McKinnon, whose duties as
chairman of the Finance committee
have kept him evolving many general
propositions, introduced bill which
provides that in case party to a
divorce case becomes insane after suit
has been brought, a guardian may be
appointed to prosecute or defend.

But the Beacon did not have the fair
ness to tell the people what Council
man Sorrick had said. Neither did 1t
print the equally emphatic denial by
Mr.. Homan, another Republican Coun-
Gilman, concerning the attempt to mis-
represent Mr.. Paul to his constituents.
Instead of printing the statements of
these unprecedented Republicans, the
Beacon sought to bolster up it's false
charges by the quibbling and uncertain
testimony of the chief Denehciaries of
the Proxy system, none other than the
"three City Commissioners whom 1t
has been defending from just at
tacks of the Citizens Committee for

nothing Of the facts In question, but
who permitted their solicitude for the
defeat of Mr.. Paul, who had been as a

elected to the Council, to lead them in.

Number Of Important Bills We're
Introduced.
Especial Correspondence.)


Columbus, March pa very large
number of bills were introduced in the
House last evening, most of them of
little general interest. The Senate
Finance committee did not return
from its junketing trip until late and
no session of the Upper House was
held The important hearing upon the
Ohio centennial appropriation bill was
postponed on account of the absence
of many of the committeeman.
In the House, Mr.. Comings, of Lor-
ain, introduced bill authorizing the
Governor to appoint a commission of
seven to investigate the question of
the establishment Of State Normal
schools. Mr.. Seese is confident that his
bill providing for such educational in
stitutions, as amended, will be pass
ed by both House and Senate.
A few of the other more important
bills are noticed.
Mr.. Mckenzie introduced bill
which seeks to require County Com
missioners to advertise and let to the
lowest bidder al contracts for work
involving an outlay of $500 or more.
Mr. Atherton introduced, by request,
bill to increase 500 the annual sal
aries of each of the teachers in pri-
mary grades at the Deaf and Dumb
institution.
A bill by Mr.. Phare, of Cleveland,
provides that in counties in which
there is no infirmary the proportion
allotted to such institutions under the
Dow law shall go to the general fund
Of the county.
Mr.. Chapman introduced and had
Tread second time and referred his
anticipated bill to provide for secret
ballots in nominating conventions.
A bill Of Mr.. Allen provides that
companies formed to guarantee titles
insure against burglary, ETC., may be
| organized In this State.

tracting his two antitrust bill from
committee pigeonholes and reservinl

SELF CONVICTED.

The only officials of standing who
responded to the Beacon's Macedonian
appeal for aid in support Of it's ridic-
ulous campaign charge against Mr..
Paul were three City Commissioners =
the same three whom the Citizens
committee held responsible for per-
mitting the peoples interest to go by

Evidently the three Commissioners
referred to do not fancy having men
of the intelligence and courage of Mr..
Paul in Council, else they would not
have jumped at what they believed to
be good chance to injure Mr. Paul's
chances for reelection.
This attitude of the "three Commits.

nit themselves to be used as political
tools by the politicians to whom they
owe their places, completely unmasls

"Alf' Rooms will add dignity and

Beacon, "and no breath of scandal will

ing" and scandal breathing" in this
locality.

The dust which the Dobson paper
has been kicking UP for political effect
over the East Market street contracts
will not blind the great majority of
the voters of Akron to the real issue in
the election of Councilmen next Mon
day. The action Of the Council in the
matter of the contracts was, by confes
sion of some of its own members, a
mistake, but this is the first real mist
take with which the present Council
can reasonably be charged. Upon ev-
cry other occasion ii has acted in the
interests of the city. 1t can be said
to the credl. of the Council thnt it has
not been the subsidy of any politician
or politicians, charge which the
Poard of City Commissioners cannot
escape. If the taxpayers want n
Council that will work in harmony"
with the power that controls the Board
of City Commissioners, they should
support the candidates whose votes
are mortgaged in advance to the poll
tcinns in control of the Board of City
Commissioners.

members elected to Council, will have
to yield to the control of the politi-
clans who are responsible for the Proxy
system, or take the consequences.
which will be anything from personal
abuse and Misrepresentation to party
ostracsm. Unless the new members
of the Council are men Of unusual
backbone and force of character they
cannot be expected to hold out against
the political pressure to be brought up
on them.
The citizens of Akron who have paid
the least attention to the administra-
tion of the city's affairs Of late years
know that this statement is not over
drawn.
If the taxpayers want Council with
enough real "life and energy" to cope
with the artful politicians who are
responsible for the Proxy system, they
should elect none but independent men
to that body; men who will wear no
bosses collar and who will be free to
act rs the public interests demand.
The Democrat believes the people
take no chances upon having their in
tercsts suffer from the consequences
of too much partisanism or lack of in
dependence when they elect citizens of
such standing as Messrs. Paul, Pal
mcr, Rutherford, Piske, and Mason to
the Council. The crisis in local munic-
ipal affairs resulting from the subver-
sion of the Executive power of the
local government to the interests of
politicians, is such that the people can
not afford to surrender the check they
now have through the Council upon the
subsidized Executive for the sake
of giving the local Republican Machine
the control of the Council.
For this reason the Democrat appeals
to the voters to support the trustwor-
thy men mentioned above.
